The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 151 One day everyone will be able to control the big mushrooms

"Dong dong dong~ Is Sister Wen here?"

A knock on the door interrupted several people's thoughts.

Lin Shuwen gave Chen Sichu a look.

Chen Sichu understood it, walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door was someone from the publicity and distribution department, delivering a sample of the album.

"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Shuwen said with a smile.

The staff of the publicity department was stunned by Lin Shuwen's smile. He waved his hand and said: "No, no, please. If it's convenient, sister Wen, can you sign your autograph for me? I'm your fan."

"of course can."

Lin Shuwen signed the signature for the staff of the publicity and distribution department, and then asked Chen Sichu to send the person away.

"Miaomiao, put the album on and let's listen to it."

Chen Junmiao nodded and played Lin Shuwen's new album on the playback device.

After listening to 10 songs in a row, Lin Shuwen was generally satisfied. She asked the Chen sisters: "Miao Miao, Chu Chu, which song in this album do you think is the best?"

"I like the title song "Initial Dream"." Chen Sichu said.

"I prefer "Daoxiang"! I also like "Snail", but I feel that "Daoxiang" is much better than the other songs on the album." Chen Junmiao replied.

Lin Shuwen agreed with Chen Junmiao's view. To be honest, the first time she sang the song "Daoxiang" by herself, she only had one feeling: it sounded good, and it sounded purely good.

To be fair, this song is really a higher level of completion than the other songs on the album.

This is not to say that the other songs are not good, but that the other songs have their own shortcomings.

The lyrics of "Light Years Away" and "On the Qingming Rain" are excellent, but the arrangement is relatively weak.

The music of "Snail" is very good, and the concept is also very good, but the lyrics are not that good.

"First Dream" is a song that Lin Shuwen feels is very strange. There is a feeling that the lyrics and the music don't match well. This song alone is no worse than "Daoxiang", but with the lyrics, it is reduced. Some points, but overall it is not as good as "Daoxiang".

As for Lao Huang's five songs, it can only be said that they are above the passing mark. Compared with these five songs, the gap is quite obvious.

To put it bluntly, it is the kind that you forget once you hear it and have no memory points.

Therefore, "Daoxiang" has become the most complete and most beautiful song on this album.

"Sister Wen, do you think the style of your album is quite confusing?" Chen Junmiao asked while putting the album away.

"There's nothing we can do about it! Sister Shan's original idea for this album was to make a career out of it with excellent singles. She didn't expect all the songs in an album to be excellent, so she didn't stick to one theme as usual for albums. "

"But in this case, wouldn't this album be like a super-large collection of EPs?" Chen Sichu said.

"That's right. Fortunately, the three songs "Initial Dream", "Snail" and "Daoxiang" are all related to dreams, so they can be promoted together."

In the evening, Lin Shuwen returned home and called Luo Ming.

Luo Ming has been waiting for Lin Shuwen to call. Lin Shuwen went to Shanghai in such a hurry today. He was very worried, but he was afraid that Lin Shuwen would handle the work, so he did not take the initiative to call.

"Wenwen, are you okay over there?" Luo Ming asked straight to the point as soon as he picked up the phone.

"It's okay. Sister Shan asked me to come over because..."

Lin Shuwen told Luo Ming about Penguin Music.

Luo Ming was a little surprised when he heard this. He remembered that in his previous life, Penguin Music received a large amount of funds at the end of 2013 and began to collect music copyrights on a large scale. He did not expect that it would still be like this in this life.

"Luo Ming, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what China's music software will look like in the future if Penguin Music does this."

Lin Shuwen was interested as soon as she heard this. She still trusted Luo Ming's vision beyond the times, so she asked with interest: "Luo Ming, please tell me, what do you think China's music software will become in the future?"

"If you ask me, China's music software will most likely be dominated by Penguin Music in the future. They have collected a large amount of music copyrights, and the living space of some small music platforms will be completely squeezed, and they will eventually be acquired by Penguin Music.

Of course, there will definitely be new music platforms emerging, but these new music platforms will most likely have social attributes. "

"Social attribute?"

"Yes, you can understand it as analyzing users through big data, recommending songs that users may like, and then using the same song to allow more users with the same hobbies to get connected because of this song."

"Sounds like a good way to play."

Luo Ming smiled. The music platform he was talking about was undoubtedly NetEase Cloud Music.

NetEase Cloud Music focuses on online playlists and online songs, and the APP also comes with social attributes. The so-called big-name recommendations and music fingerprints are social.

In addition, NetEase Cloud Music is also the first in the industry to launch the concept of same-city music with geographical location as the core element.

Subsequently, the two concepts of discovery and sharing were also proposed, combined with the so-called "personalized recommendation" and "private FM". Such big data push automatically matches songs according to user habits, making NetEase Cloud Music soon occupy a place among young people.

But that's all. NetEase Cloud Music's market share has never exceeded 20%, and the gap with Penguin Music is really too big. On the one hand, it is because NetEase Cloud Music has taken a different approach to build a music APP with social attributes, which makes the function of the music APP not so pure, causing many users who only like to listen to music to stay away from it.

Not to mention other things, NetEase Cloud Music has lost a lot of users just because it calculates the user's preferences based on big data during playback and inserts some so-called songs that the user may like to listen to in the user's playlist.

After NetEase Cloud Music belatedly stopped this function, it was already too late.

Another aspect is that NetEase Cloud Music has too few copyrights. Penguin spent a lot of money to buy so many copyrights in order to prevent new music apps from competing with it in the market.

No matter how many tricks you play, no matter how complete the functions are, it is nonsense without music copyright.

As for the former boss and current second-in-command Kuwo, according to the previous process, Kuwo would start contacting Kugou in December 2014 to seek a merger and jointly resist Penguin Music.

This merger was successful. It was probably in March 2015 that Kuwo and Kugou merged, and then roped in three other music copyright companies that had been squeezed by Penguin and almost lost their living space, with the intention of creating the largest music company in Asia. group.

Later, they established the Huaxia Music Group together. Unfortunately, the development of this group was not smooth either.

In June 2016, Penguin acquired a large stake in China Music Group.

One month later, on July 2016, 7, Penguin Music announced its merger with China Music Group. On January 15, 2017, the new music group was officially renamed Penguin Music Entertainment Group.

So far Kuwo has become a music company owned by Penguin.

If there are no accidents in this life, Kuwo should still develop according to this historical process.

To be honest, Luo Ming is happy to see this happen.

Rather than going to several music apps to listen to the songs of the singers he likes, Luo Ming would rather hear the songs of all the singers he wants to listen to in one app, even if it costs 8 yuan to buy a continuous monthly paid music package. That's okay, but this is not a good thing for singers like Lin Shuwen.

But that’s for the future, and it’s a bit too early to think about it now.

"Luo Ming, didn't you say before that you wanted me to cosplay a character from Plants vs. Zombies, so that you could take this opportunity to attract people in the gaming circle? What do you want me to cosplay?" Lin Shuwen asked, changing the subject.

"How about the Big Spray Mushroom?"

"what?"

Lin Shuwen couldn't help but recall the appearance of the big mushroom in the game, which was quite abstract.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Wenwen, don't you think the big mushroom is cute?"

"Cute?"

"That's right! If you think about its setting, Big Spray Mushroom's personality is quite arrogant. He thinks he can do anything. His unique appearance and distinct personality are all cute. Isn't this cute?"

Lin Shuwen thought about the appearance of the big mushroom again, but she really couldn't equate it with cuteness.

"I shouldn't ask you what kind of bad aesthetics you are talking about." After saying this, Lin Shuwen hung up the phone.

Luo Ming put down his phone with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and sent a WeChat message to Lin Shuwen: "Wenwen, one day everyone will control the big mushroom."

"Go away! Don't talk to me tonight."

The next day, the Chen sisters came to Lin Shuwen's house, and Lin Shuwen asked them which plant was better for cosplay.

"Sister Wen, what do you think of the big spray mushroom?" Chen Sichu asked excitedly.

Lin Shuwen and Chen Junmiao turned their heads at the same time, and they both saw disbelief on each other's faces.

Chen Sichu shrank his neck and dared not speak.

"Miaomiao, what do you think?"

"Sister Wen, I think sunflowers are good."

"There are still normal people in our family!" Lin Shuwen sighed and decided to cosplay Sunflower.

Of course, cosplay doesn’t start right now, there has to be a suitable time.

This timing was left to Luo Ming.

"Cos competition? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?" Rong Mu asked confused.

"To increase the popularity of Wenwen's album."

"Again, you're pretending to be a public servant?"

"What does it mean to serve the public good for private gain? Holding a cosplay event is also good for our game promotion. You can just make an announcement. As long as it is a game under our company's name, whether it is "Plants vs. Zombies" or "Happy Xiaoxiaole" or All the characters in "Jump One Jump" can be cosplayed to participate, and the prizes should be generous to attract more people to participate."

Seeing that Luo Ming was serious, Rong Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Is this event mainly online or offline?"

"Let's do it online! Hold a vote on the official website and decide the ranking by voting."
