vstars Chapter 7 Ringtone Launched
Chapter 7 Ringtone Launched
After signing the contract, Lin Zixuan calculated the time.
It's March 21st now, and there are still more than 20 days before filming starts.
I can use this time to record three songs, edit out the climax of the ringtone, and complete the certification and signing with the 12530 ringtone website.
Five days later, under the careful guidance of senior student Liu Fen, he finally graduated and mastered the skill of describing melodies using sheet music.
Subsequently, he created (plagiarized) three songs that were in his mind: "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness."
Holding the three complete songs, he didn't go directly to a recording studio to record them. Instead, he went to the Beijing Copyright Bureau to register the copyright.
After paying a 300 yuan expedited fee, the copyright registration was completed the next day, and I received copyright certificates for the three songs.
Thinking that the ringback tone fees would be a huge source of income in the future, in order to legally avoid taxes, he spent another 2000 yuan to ask a scalper to help him register a personal studio, named Lin Zixuan Studio.
Deep Blue Recording Studio is a private recording studio located in the HD area, not far from Nortel. It not only adopts advanced acoustic design and decoration, but also provides a qualified backing band, as well as a team of recording engineers and mixing engineers, which can provide customers with high-quality recording services and even sound editing services, and the price is not expensive.
It's a good choice for beginner singers like Lin Zixuan to record songs.
The recording studio owner, surnamed Liu, negotiated with Lin Zixuan and offered a recording price of NT$5000 per song, but the recording time for each song could not exceed 2 days, otherwise additional fees would be charged.
With such a small amount of money, it's impossible to have a backup band accompany you throughout the recording.
After signing the contract and paying 15000 yuan, Boss Liu first arranged for a band to record the accompaniment music.
Then, a recording engineer and a mixing engineer were arranged to accompany Lin Zixuan in a recording studio to record slowly.
The early autumn sky and the cold night
Memories slowly come back
True love is like fallen leaves
Why did they have to separate?
Wandering alone under the gray sky
. . . . . .
Lin Zixuan sang and recorded the song line by line repeatedly in the recording studio.
Fortunately, the three songs, "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness," are not particularly difficult to sing.
Six days later, all three songs were finally recorded, and the quality was basically acceptable.
Fortunately, these three songs were not very difficult to sing, and with the training and guidance that Lin Zixuan had received from his senior sister Liu Fen during this period, his singing skills had greatly improved, and in the end, he did not need to use the auto-tuning function.
According to the on-site recording engineer, Lin Zixuan can barely be considered a qualified studio singer.
After receiving the complete song, I spent another 1000 yuan to have Boss Liu arrange for an editor to cut a 30-second climax segment for each song to use as a ringtone.
During the process, after listening to the recordings of the three songs, Boss Liu felt that the melodies of the three songs were simple, cheerful and refreshing, the lyrics were catchy and easy to remember, and they were very pleasant to listen to. Moreover, he wanted to listen to them a second time after listening to them the first time.
He felt that all three songs had the potential to become hits. Coincidentally, he had several celebrity clients who were buying the songs at high prices, so he thought he could make some money from the price difference and also gain some favors.
If you ask Lin Zixuan if he sells the copyrights, he can offer as much as 5 yuan per song.
Unfortunately, Lin Zixuan has no intention of selling the copyright at all. He wouldn't even sell the performance rights, let alone the copyright.
Because he knew that selling them at a higher price now would be a waste of money compared to the value these songs could ultimately create for him.
Seeing Lin Zixuan's resolute attitude, Boss Liu gave up on the idea, after all, his main business was the recording studio.
Lin Zixuan copied the six audio files to his USB drive, watched as Boss Liu deleted all the files related to his three songs from the recording studio, and then took a taxi away.
Back home, I turned on my computer and copied the six audio files to my hard drive.
Connect to the internet and open the China Mobile 12530 ringback tone website.
Find the Personal Ringtone DIY section, follow the prompts to register an account, and fill in your personal information and song copyright proof materials.
Upload the complete audio files and ringtone files for the three songs: "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness."
Finally, submit it for review, and then just wait.
While awaiting approval, Lin Zixuan uploaded three more songs to various music platforms, including Kugou Music, Qianqian Music, QQ Music, Kuwo Music, and Xiami Music, for all users to listen to and download for free.
With his work completed, he could be considered a formally debuted artist. He then logged onto Sina Blog, and fortunately, the name "Lin Zixuan" had not yet been registered. After registering, he uploaded his Beijing Film Academy student ID and applied for artist real-name authentication.
Of course, his purpose in registering a Sina blog was not entirely to promote his songs, but to attract fans, increase his popularity, and earn resources for his spiritual practice.
The reason he only registered today is because he didn't have any outstanding works before. But now it's different. He has three songs that he wrote and sang himself, and he will soon be joining the cast of "Men's Bottom Line". It can be said that he has truly crossed the threshold of becoming an artist.
At this point, posting your work, daily life, fitness photos, and so on on your blog will naturally help you gradually build a following.
While waiting for his blog to be verified, he first posted a short introduction, then uploaded three photos: one taken a few days ago during an audition, one taken at the gym, and one taken on the basketball court.
These photos all have two things in common: handsome and sunny, exuding a strong sense of hormones that makes it easy for women to look away.
Then, I wrote a few more words: "I'd like to share three songs that I wrote and sang myself. These three songs have been released simultaneously on platforms such as Kugou Music, Qianqian Music, QQ Music, Kuwo Music, and Xiami Music."
You can listen and download it for free. I welcome your valuable feedback. If you like it, please give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends.
Next are the audio files for these three songs.
Not only that, he also posted the lyrics of three songs on his blog.
This is my first blog post, and it's packed with useful information.
After he finished doing all that, Sina Blog sent him a message informing him that his real-name authentication had been approved. He then checked his blog account and found that it had turned gold with the words "Real-name Authentication" in small print.
Of course, blogs haven't evolved into microblogs yet, so their social attributes are limited, and they're more about expressing opinions. It's still quite difficult for ordinary celebrities to gain fans.
But since it is a public social platform where one can promote oneself and gain followers, Lin Zixuan felt it was still necessary to manage it carefully.
Although he can't write articles and inspirational quotes that touch people's hearts and gain a lot of traffic like Xu Cainu and Han Han.
However, based on his memories from his later life, he was certain that as long as he had works, even if it was just sharing his daily life through a blog, he could still gain a lot of fans and traffic.
