From elementary school music teacher to superstar

Chapter 119 New Platform

"Mr. Zhou, you just met this morning, and you invited me over again, what's the matter?"

In a teahouse, Lu Xin looked at Zhou Huaiyong who was sitting opposite and asked.

Zhou Huaiyong didn't answer, but instead asked, "I wonder how the conversation between Mr. Lu and TT went?"

Lu Xin smiled and said: "It's okay, but such a thing as negotiation, it's not easy to negotiate it once."

If Zhou Huaiyong can still stay at KK Music, Lu Xin may be open and honest, but now, he doesn't understand Zhou Huaiyong's strategy.

A special reminder in the morning, you can go to TT Music to have a look, Lu Xin originally thought that he was excluded from KK Music, and he was dissatisfied to speak up for his competitors, or he just kindly reminded him.

However, just after Lu Xin came out of TT Music, he made an appointment to meet again, which is a bit strange.

"My fault."

Zhou Huaiyong waved his hands and smiled, "Teacher Lu, let me tell you the truth, I have someone from TT, so I can call you as soon as you come out, and I know that the free music you play on TT should be Unsatisfactory."

"To be honest, if Mr. Lu can accept free music and really intends to cooperate with TT, then I'm the one who made the call abruptly."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin nodded, "That's right, I really can't accept TT's conditions. Mr. Zhou, if you have anything to say, just say it."

He understood now that Zhou Huaiyong asked him to go to TT to find out his attitude.

And what to do after finding out his attitude, he couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Huaiyong asked: "Since Mr. Lu does not plan to cooperate with TT Music, and KK Music is too bullying, I wonder if he has considered other platforms?"

"Other platforms?"

Lu Xin frowned. Apart from KK Music and TT Music which will be launched soon, are there other platforms?
He asked: "Mr. Zhou, have you... joined [-] Huyu?"

[-] Mutual Entertainment is also an Internet company, and its main business is online games. Although its strength is not as good as TT, it should not be underestimated.

The outside world has been rumored that besides TT, there is another one that wants to enter the music platform, [-] Mutual Entertainment.

That's why Lu Xin asked this question.

On the current platform, KK is old and xenophobic, and TT wants to focus on free. If [-] Mutual Entertainment really joins the competition, it will be a good thing no matter what.

Zhou Huaiyong shook his head, "No, [-] Huyu did have the idea of ​​making a music platform, but they didn't think about it again when they saw TT enter."

He paused and said: "To be honest, I developed the platform myself. It is still in the internal testing stage and it will be launched after the new year."

"Mr. Zhou is really courageous."

Lu Xin smiled, it turned out that it wasn't just the four major record companies who made moves, Zhou Huaiyong was not unprepared either.

As the person in charge of KK Music, but secretly developing other platforms, the conflict between him and the four major records has been going on for a long time.

However, KK music relies on the four major records, and TT music relies on big trees, so naturally there is not much pressure.

But after Zhou Huaiyong left KK Music, his strength was limited after all, and he dared to re-enter the platform competition, which is indeed courageous.

"Mr. Lu doesn't need to look at me that way. In fact, the version I developed was originally prepared for KK Music. But half of the shareholders put forward different opinions, and it was withdrawn."

Zhou Huaiyong said, "Teacher Lu, you can take a look first."

With that said, he handed over the phone.

Lu Xin took it over and saw that it was a client that had been opened.

The interface is quite clean and tidy. In addition to the list of singers and digital albums, there are only songs and audition categories.

On the left side are some personal settings, as well as purchased music, auditioned music and other information.

"Some features are still under development, but that's the general framework."

While he was watching, Zhou Huaiyong said from the side.

Lu Xin nodded, looked at it for a while and handed the phone back.

"I still like this interface very much, but Mr. Zhou, with all due respect, it is very difficult to maintain a platform without users and content."

After experiencing the dominance of KK Music and TT Music, he deeply felt the trouble of being controlled by others, but if he said that he would develop a platform by himself, he just thought about it and couldn't make up his mind.

In the process of shifting from the computer age to the mobile phone age, new platforms have a chance, but it is not easy.

Now that Zhou Huaiyong, the pioneer of the music platform, has also developed a new platform, Lu Xin would like to hear what he has to say.

Zhou Huaiyong said with a smile: "The platform has not been launched yet, so naturally it is impossible to have many users. This requires planning, and we have already planned. There are ways to spend a lot of money, and there are ways to spend a small amount of money. In fact, the main thing is the content. "

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "In terms of content, our direction in the early stage was mainly to contact underground musicians, and to cooperate with some niche music creators. Now we actually have the first batch of people who have settled in. As for Lu Teachers, of course, are also creators of high-quality content.

If Mr. Lu can cooperate with us, there will be a new song album later, and the platform will also focus on publicity. "

Zhou Huaiyong obviously wanted to reach a cooperation with Lu Xin, and what he said was actually very candid.

Instead of cooperating with mainstream record companies, but contacting underground musicians and niche music creators, there must be a shortcoming in funding, and to avoid competition with KK and TT music.

Of course, this plan made Lu Xin feel very good. In fact, there are many underground musicians in this time and space. Although they don't release albums, they hide in various bars and other performance platforms, just like Qiao Qiao.

However, Qiao Qiao is a cover singer, and there are many musicians who can create by themselves. In fact, most of these people have a certain appeal in their own places and have their own audiences.

Therefore, while moving the songs of these people to the platform, in addition to obtaining content, you can also harvest the first batch of users, and they are a relatively loyal group of users.

In this way, it will be easier to expand the crowd later.

Lu Xin saw just now that there is already some content on the platform, which should be the songs of these underground musicians.

Neither KK Music nor TT Music Platform paid much attention to these people, so Zhou Huaiyong found a breakthrough.

Lu Xin asked: "Has Mr. Zhou set up another company yet?"

Zhou Huaiyong shook his head, "No, there is only one development team perfecting product details."

He is still in KK, so it is not convenient to register a company.

But it's coming soon, Zhou Huaiyong originally planned to be the last, but now he has changed his mind, since he is out of control, he might as well leave earlier.

"So this platform, will there be any ownership or copyright disputes with KK Music?"

Lu Xin frowned again and asked.

Zhou Huaiyong said: "No, I have evaded this aspect, and the later development is a team that I spent my own money to support."

Lu Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I want to visit the development site of this product. I don't know if it's convenient or not."
