After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

Physical distribution involves the application for copyright numbers and the production of records, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.

It is a very difficult task for newcomers who have not yet signed a contract with a record company. In addition, with the recent popularization of the Internet and smart phones, digital distribution has gradually become a good choice for newcomers.

Of course, as someone who came from a game company, Mei Fang naturally knew the importance of copyright and authorship. In his spare time, he spent money to entrust a third party to help him with the registration of the song's copyright and authorship.

Xia Yuan’s first digital album includes five songs: "No Makeup", "In That Not Far Away Place", "I'm Willing", "Memories of Lanshan", and "The Vastness of the Universe".

The five songs are actually very small in size as an album, and can only be regarded as a mini album. Moreover, it is a bit of a stretch to call these songs an album now. After all, the style and theme of an album in the usual sense will be consistent to some extent.

Of course, since Yuanyuan is a newcomer, perhaps everyone can ignore these things.

In addition to determining the song track list, Xia Yuan and his team also have to determine the creator's stage name and album title.

Now among these five songs are Xia Yuan’s solo (In That Not Far Away Place, The Vastness of the Universe), Lin Youxi’s solo (Lanshan Memories), Mei Fang’s solo (I’m Willing), and of course Xia Yuan and Mei Fang’s duet (No Makeup), plus Liu Xiaoyu also sang some harmony, so Xia Yuan didn’t really want the album to have only her signature at the beginning.

However, the album was not actually produced by the band in collaboration, and it would be very far-fetched to directly use the name of the new band. So after everyone's discussion, Xia Yuan decided to use [Yuan Bao] as the stage name of the releasing artist, and would continue to use this name after forming a band in the future.

Since Xia Yuan is Yuanbao, it goes without saying what Lin Youxi and Mei Fang are like.

Yuanbao, Xibao, Fangbao.

"As a result, we three were given new nicknames."

Xia Yuan asked Lin Youxi and Mei Fang excitedly, "At first, it felt corny when we called each other by this name, but once we got used to it, it became nothing... Fang Bao, Xi Bao... Why don't we just call each other like this in the future?"

Mei Fang frowned and said, "Why change it for no reason... I have been calling you like this for more than ten years. Suddenly I can't call you Yuanyuan anymore and you ask me to call you Yuanbao..."

Lin Youxi also shook her head. "It's a bit unpleasant for Ah Fang to call me Xibao. Every time he calls me Xibao, I hear it as 'Xiba'. It's like he's scolding me, which makes me feel angry for no reason."

"Hey, is my pronunciation so bad?"

"Then call me a few more times and let me hear it."

"Xibao, Xibao, Xibao...is this okay?"

"Be gentler."

"Xibao?"

Xia Yuan watched Lin Youxi teasing Mei Fang and calling her by her name and always felt that it was a bit weird. "Ah... Anyway, I think we can call each other by this name for fun. If you feel embarrassed, it's okay to just call each other by this name at home."

"Although it's a little hard to pronounce, I liked the name Yuanbao the moment I heard it."

Mei Fang started his usual routine of keeping things to himself again. He smiled at Xia Yuan and said, "I can call you this at school from now on. Can I call you Yuanbao?"

"Hu, huhu... this name is quite cute when it is pronounced."

Xia Yuan blushed and hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's just that when a high school student calls me that, it always feels a bit like being older and coquettish."

"How old are you? You look so charming! I like to call you Yuanbao because it sounds like I have a lot of 'ingots', like I'm rich."

"What! Stinky Ah Fang!"

Xia Yuan pushed Mei Fang down on the sofa, sat on him and beat him up.

Now that the issues related to the stage name have been determined, the next step is to decide on the album name.

As mentioned before, because the album is basically a hodgepodge and there is no unified theme for the genre and name, Xia Yuan called on everyone in Ximilu Studio to brainstorm.

As a major fan of Yuan Yuan, Peng Xue naturally couldn't contain herself any longer. Since it is Yuan Yuan's album, it should focus on Yuan Yuan.

The album titles she gave are homophones of various idioms with the word "yuan".

"Love is Destiny"

"Love in the Past"

《It's You》

"Let Me Be"

As a fan of Xi, Yue Xinyi naturally cannot give in here. However, after all, the composer is basically Yuanyuan herself, and the album has very little Xi content. Yue Xinyi is also embarrassed to completely steal the limelight from Xia Yuan.

So in the end, the names Yue Xinyi came up with were all very popular. Some of them directly used the title song as the album title, and then there were Xia Yuanlin and Youxi's casual words.

I am willing

"No Makeup"

"Fate Comes"

Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue were fighting in the group, neither of them giving in, which made others afraid to speak for fear of being implicated.

Just when Mei Fang was struggling over whether to just throw out the versatile album title "Customization" to end the argument, Xia Yuan typed GG to end the fight.

"Youxi and I discussed it and everyone's opinions were pretty good, but we should just use this! This is the online name that Youxi and I have always used together. I think it is very meaningful to use it as the name of our first album."

The name of Xia Yuan's game-ending move was [缘兮相伴]. This phrase can be understood as Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi accompanying each other, or as Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi accompanying someone.

……

There is not a single word that is Mei Gou; every word is Mei Gou.

Liu Xiaoyu could be said to have seen through Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's thoughts at a glance, but out of support for her friends, she just clicked a thumbs-up and then fell into thought.

In modern society, are there really girls who would share a boy's love for them?

My words...are definitely unacceptable.

But since the parties involved have no opinions, why should I impose any ideas on them?

And after all, how can it be my turn to accept it?

Liu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and shook her head. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Since returning from the spring outing, Liu Xiaoyu found himself becoming more and more concerned about Mei Fang's actions.

She would take the initiative to pay attention to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's daily conversations and listen to them talk about what Mei Fang had done recently.

Whenever she saw Mei Fang, she would always look at him a few more times inadvertently, but once Mei Fang started talking to her, she would avoid him in an extreme manner.

When I first met Mei Fang, I had a pretty good impression of him...

He is very gentle to Youxi and Yuanyuan, and looks like a very clean and pure boy.

And... for me too—

Although Liu Xiaoyu has said that she doesn't like boys who are better than herself, Mei Fang's ideal type is really hard to look away from...

What a pity it turned out to be a dog.

Ouch...if only I hadn't seen that!

Liu Xiaoyu lay on the bed in the dormitory with her head covered, feeling very distressed. Her roommates who were unaware of the situation laughed at her, thinking that she had someone she liked.

After completing the album, Mei Fang planned to use Penguin Music as the first release platform for the album songs, but at the same time he also wanted to test the actual promotion effect of Station C.

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi planned to have Xia Yuan shoot a promotional video of several minutes, and prepared to put her video on the recommended column of the homepage and the corresponding area, trying to use the traffic of the C station platform to promote Xia Yuan.

Chapter 222 Recording Promotional Video

Most of the users of C Station are students, and the main age group of users is between 14 and 24 years old. Traditional promotional methods may not be able to gain their support, and if the video itself is not good enough, it will also have a bad impact on the reputation of C Station.

Based on this premise, Mei Fang formulated a specific shooting plan for the promotional video.

1. The promotional video is expected to be 4 minutes long, including 1 minute of self-introduction and 3 minutes of talent show (guitar singing).

2. The clothes you wear should be youthful and beautiful enough, and at the same time, you should be able to show some of your own two-dimensional attributes.

3. In order to reduce the disturbance in real life, adopt the method of publicity without showing the face.

Of course, after the third point was raised, everyone felt that this approach would be a bit of an attempt to cover up the truth. After all, they had already sung these songs in school, and since they were planning to "debut", they had to be mentally prepared that their secrets would be exposed sooner or later.

Mei Fang's consideration is that it is still 2012 after all, and the hostility on the Internet is far less terrible than it will be ten years later. Yuanyuan Youxi and himself will reveal their identities sooner or later. Not showing their faces will only slightly increase the cost for netizens to dig up their identities and increase Xia Yuan's mystery.

As for the video shooting, Wan Chaoxiong and Xiang Bingbing were invited to participate in the video shooting. After discussing the location, everyone decided to shoot in a small pavilion in the school, ensuring that the background was less recognizable.

After the scene and crew were confirmed, Xia Yuan was worrying about the costumes for the promotional video.

"Ah Fang, Youxi, do you think a sailor suit or a lolita skirt would be better? Or should I just wear the school uniform?"

"A lolita skirt is a bit too 2D, and it doesn't fit the style of a guitar singer. If it's a school uniform... it's like telling netizens that we're from the First Affiliated Normal School of Jiangcheng Normal University."

Lin Youxi gave Xia Yuan her own suggestions, "I think the sailor suit would be better. It fits the youthful and beautiful style that Ah Fang wants, and it's also a bit 2D enough."

"When you think about it, it's true."

Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang thoughtfully, "What do you think, Fang? Do you also think that I look better in a sailor suit?"

"Hmm... Speaking of which, Yuanyuan, can you get me a sailor uniform?"

"Although I can borrow the school ones, the quality is not very good. I will buy them online in the next few days."

"Remember to buy a longer skirt. If you show too much, your dad will be mad if he sees you."

"What do you mean my dad... You pushed my dad out, but Ah Fang, you don't want me to show too much!"

Xia Yuan smiled and pinched Mei Fang's cheek, leaning close to Mei Fang's ear and saying, "Then I can buy two, a long one for recording videos, and a shorter one, and then... wear it for Ah Fang to see, okay?"

Xia Yuan was not yet very proficient in the technique of teasing Mei Fang. She was supposed to attack Mei Fang, but ended up blushing first.

Although Yuanyuan is good at attack but weak in defense, Mei Fang himself is not much better. He touched his nose embarrassedly when Xia Yuan teased him.

"Where did you learn this weird thing from? Let's shoot the video first, and we can talk about other things later..."

Seeing that he had succeeded, Xia Yuan stepped up his attack, "So, are you interested? I would only buy it if you were interested."

"Buy them all. It's not like you can't afford them. One more piece won't hurt... But remember to charge my account. This will be considered a public expense."

"I know, I know."

After Xia Yuan finished speaking, she sat on the sofa and started choosing clothes with a smile. Lin Youxi put her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder and reminded her, "Yuanyuan, when you place your order, remember to buy a few more pairs of pantyhose."

"Pantyhose?"

"Since Ah Fang doesn't want you to show too much, then using pantyhose to cover your legs is also a good choice."

"You mean that kind...ah...um...uh..."

"This store is good, look at this one."

Under Lin Youxi's instruction, Xia Yuan turned to the content that made her blush, and immediately exclaimed: "You, Youxi... Do you like this kind of socks? This is too bold!"

"I don't mind. It's mainly because Ah Fang likes this one more. He must be very excited to see you wearing this, especially the white one."

"When did I ever say I liked pantyhose?"
