Sister Toosaka Rin

What? This will put too much pressure on the later stages.

Alona must be the one doing the post-production. A mature virtual singer must learn to handle audio post-production and edit videos by herself.

Alona dared not say anything, for fear that Toosaka Kiyoshi would suddenly decide to let her do a live broadcast.

However, audio processing was not a difficult task for her. Before noon, Alona's video had been edited.

Kiyoshi Toosaka took a look at it first, and only uploaded it after confirming that there were no problems.

For well-known reasons, the review of the dance section is very loose, so in order to pass the review quickly, Kiyoshi Toosaka directly uploaded the video to the dance section. Anyway, there was indeed dancing in the video.

Sure enough, after just a few minutes, the video passed the review. Due to the high quality of the song and video, the browsing data began to rise rapidly.

It can be seen from the background that many people did not exit after watching it once, but directly clicked to play again.

However, an account can only provide valid playback data once a day, which even led to a period of time when the number of online viewers was higher than the total number of video playbacks.

However, Kiyoshi Toosaka does not have time to pay attention to the performance of the video for the time being. After releasing the video, he devoted himself to the production of Loser.

The memories from more than a decade ago were too vague. No matter how hard Kiyoshi Toosaka tried to recall, it was impossible for him to produce the song in his memory exactly as it was.

In fact, he has made so many songs, but not a single one of them has the same melody as the original.

But in other words, these songs all have his own elements, and what he actually did was adaptation, which sounds much more comfortable than plagiarism.

However, because of this, the music score he made at the beginning was actually completely weird, and the process of modifying it bit by bit was very torturous.

If I make a slight change, I have to stop and listen carefully many times, comparing it with the vague impression in my memory.

One is a specific musical score, the other is a vague impression. The final work can only ensure that the melody, that is, the composition, is consistent with the original song, and the arrangement basically depends on his own understanding.

However, he has studied for so many years and has created so many songs. Even if his arrangement skills cannot reach the highest level in the industry, he can still be among the top ones.

Chapter 87 summer time

"Teacher! It exploded, it exploded! Hurry up and wake up and take a look."

In the morning, Tousaka Kiyoshi was woken up by the Alona alarm clock and opened his eyes dazedly: "What happened?"

"The summertime video I released yesterday went viral! It's now been viewed over a million times!"

"Oh, that." Toosaka Kiyoshi was not surprised at all. If summertime couldn't become a hit, then the music industry in this world was too amazing.

However, he was still a little surprised that the song broke one million in one day, after all, the one who released the song was just a small account with only a few thousand fans.

He was even prepared for the possibility that no one would be interested in the product in the first few days before its release. After all, in this information age, no matter how delicious the wine is, if it is hidden too deep, it will take time to ferment.

When Kiyoshi Toosaka opened the video platform, he saw 113 million views and people were watching online.

There were three thousand people watching online early in the morning. It seems to be really popular.

The number of fans, which originally only numbered a few thousand, has now increased to more than 30,000.

The Guitar Hero account that Goto had run alone for several years only had more than 30,000 followers, but Kiyoshi Toosaka caught up with that number in just one day with just one song. This is the charm of original pop music.

Alona was feeling smug next to Toosaka Kiyoshi. She sang this song, she danced to it, and she did the post-production. It was all a result of her hard work, and now she had achieved such good results, so of course she was very happy.

"Teacher, what song should we sing next?"

Alona was eager to try it out. She suddenly felt that being pursued by so many people and being the center of attention was a very good feeling.

Is this what it feels like to be an idol? It's awesome!

Toosaka Kiyoshi shook his head: "No hurry, this song hasn't reached its limit yet, let's wait for a while. Besides, some people's emails should be coming soon."

Not long after, just after Tousaka Kiyoshi finished washing up, he received an email.

It was an invitation for collaboration from a local Japanese music platform. They didn’t say what the collaboration would be, but they left their phone number and work account with Kiyoshi Toosaka, intending to discuss it in detail.

Kiyoshi Toosaka searched for this music platform on the Internet. It was unknown and not very big, and could only barely survive.

Then Kiyoshi Toosaka deleted the email and decided to look for partners, naturally looking for those big platforms.

Perhaps the big platforms will use their power to gain higher commissions, but the big platforms also have more resources, and they are confident that they can break away from the fierce competition.

After he becomes famous, anyone with a bit of common sense will take the initiative to improve his treatment, and the situations of oppression described in the novel will basically be impossible to happen.

Of course, even if it happens, he is not afraid. Who is afraid of whom in a head-on confrontation?

With this email as the lead, emails expressing cooperation intentions soon appeared from various music platforms. There were even music companies that wanted to sign him and Alona, ​​offering generous remuneration.

If it weren't for Alona's help, Kiyoshi Toosaka might have agreed, because the professional team of the music company was much faster in music production than he could be by trial and error.

But Alona is really useful. With her around, Kiyoshi Toosaka has no need to cooperate with these production companies.

You have to know that the production company will directly take 50% of the profits, plus the more than 30% of the profits taken by the music platform, he really becomes a worker for capital.

It was not until noon that Kiyoshi Toosaka selected two music platforms from the numerous emails.

One is more two-dimensional, and currently the most popular virtual singers are basically all monopolized by this platform.

The other one is more comprehensive in development and covers a wider range of user numbers.

If it were in another country, Kiyoshi Toosaka would definitely choose the second platform without hesitation, but this is Japan.

The two-dimensional world may be a niche in other countries, but it is not a niche in Japan.

For Kiyoshi Toosaka, both platforms are good, but considering that the first platform has rich experience in operating virtual singers, Kiyoshi Toosaka still plans to talk to them first.

Kiyoshi Toosaka opened the chat software, searched for the account the other party left in the email, and wrote "ATK, the creator of Alona and summertime" in the verification message.

ATK is the stage name he intends to use in this world, and it has many meanings.

Some people will think of the attack power of weapons or characters in the game when they see it.

Some people may think of the abbreviation of the automobile brand Alliant Techsystems Inc.

Some people may think of the Assistive Technology Kit in computer science.

Some people will think of a big guy who makes short videos of secondary game creation.

Soon, Tousaka Kiyoshi's friend request was approved, and the other party sent a message with great respect.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, ATK-sensei."

Tosaka Kiyoshi replied: "Not long, you acted very quickly. You are the first person in charge of the music platform I decided to contact, I think you should understand what I mean."

The other party answered confidently: "I think so. Our platform has rich experience in operating virtual singers and is definitely your best choice. If you have a persistent love for virtual singers and the two-dimensional world, then joining us is a choice you will never regret."

Toosaka Kiyoshi ignored the other party's boasting and said, "Tell me about the specific distribution."

After all, cooperation comes first.

"Okay." The other party didn't hesitate. "The lowest share I can give is 38%. And we require Alona to join our platform. From now on, our platform will have the exclusive rights to broadcast the songs sung by Alona."

Kiyoshi Toosaka frowned. He could accept a 38% share, but he could not accept letting Alona join the platform and having the exclusive rights to the songs.

After more than ten minutes, the negotiations between the two sides ended in failure.

It's not that there is no possibility of cooperation, but the person in charge who is in contact with Tousaka Kiyoshi cannot meet his request. He does not have the authority and needs to report to his superiors.

Toosaka Kiyoshi asked him to pay attention to the video data of summertime and they would talk again in a few days.

The failure of this negotiation was mainly due to the fact that Toosaka Kiyoshi's bargaining chips were not strong enough.

More than one million playback data can only be considered an average result in front of such a large-scale platform. Naturally, the other party will not take it too seriously or be too indulgent.

In that case, let the bullet fly for a while longer.

After finishing the first negotiation, Kiyoshi Toosaka negotiated with the second platform.

The result was naturally not satisfactory. The other party only wanted this song, and also the exclusive broadcasting rights.

Kiyoshi Toosaka really wanted to make a one-time deal, but there was no way he could release the exclusive rights, and he also wanted to make more money from several music platforms.

By the second day, the video had been played 274 million times, making it a hit on the video platform.

The number of followers of the account Alona_official has officially exceeded 100,000.

The number of followers increased by 100,000 in two days, this speed is terrifying.

At the same time, some love animation MAD editing works gradually began to use summertime as BGM, which brought a wave of traffic to the video itself.

On the third day, the number of views reached 425 million.

People's attention was no longer limited to the songs, Alona's dance also began to be noticed.

Then people discovered that this more than four-minute 3D rendering of a 2D animation was simply perfect, comparable to the promotional PVs of some two-dimensional games, and even surpassed them in the smoothness of the character movements.

You have to know that the PVs of those games were made by several teams working together. The producer of this video is written as Alona, ​​which is equivalent to ATK.

Not only did one person undertake the composition and lyrics of the song, he also undertook the development and tuning of the virtual singer, and even produced this level of 3D rendering and 2D animation. He is truly an all-rounder!

Some industry professionals have come forward to say that an animation of this level would take several months even if an entire team were to work on it, and it would take at least a year and a half for one person to complete it.

As soon as these words were spoken, the comment section was filled with comments like “Worship the boss.”

However, someone soon raised another question. Since it takes a year or so to make an animation of this level, doesn’t that mean that this account will not update this kind of video again until a year later?

Wow, another up-host who updates content every year.

But this one is not a pigeon, it's the quality of which takes so long to polish.

To this, Kiyoshi Toosaka said: You all know it all.

He didn't expect things to develop like this. What kind of 3D rendering and 2D animation is this? It's obviously real shooting, and then it was processed in post-production to turn it into a two-dimensional style.

But it felt good to be worshipped by so many people, and he had no intention of explaining this subtle misunderstanding.

The main thing is that even if he explains it, people may not believe it.

On the fourth day, the number of views showed no sign of slowing down, and reached 570 million.

It was also on this day that Kiyoshi Toosaka received news from the head of the first platform.

The share of 38% was reduced to 36%. In the future, the exclusive rights to the song will no longer be required, but the exclusive rights to this song must be obtained, and they hope that Alona can join their platform, and the fees for joining can even be negotiated separately.

This condition is actually very good. The platform entry that was originally required has now become something that can be chosen independently.

But as long as he has the exclusive rights to this song, does that mean he is not optimistic about his future?

Maybe he listened to the analysis on the Internet and thought that since he is doing so many things at the same time, his speed in releasing songs will be very slow.

Toosaka Kiyoshi originally wanted to just agree to it, but Alona disagreed.

She believes that the current data is not the limit of this song, and she wants to gain more benefits for Kiyoshi Toosaka.

This was mainly because she had believed in Kiyoshi Toosaka's lies and thought that Kiyoshi Toosaka was very poor and couldn't even pay off Abydos' debt.

So Kiyoshi Toosaka asked the person in charge to wait for a few more days, which made the person in charge mistakenly believe that Kiyoshi Toosaka was not satisfied with this condition, and he tried to persuade him for a long time with earnest words.

Later, Kiyoshi Toosaka explained to the person in charge that he just wanted to see what the final performance of the song would be.

Of course the person in charge didn't believe it, but since Kiyoshi Toosaka said so, he could only wait and see the trend in the next few days.

Day 719, million.

Day 832, million.

Day 908: million.

Day 973, million.

The growth rate has finally slowed down. According to the current estimate, it will stabilize between 1300 and 1400 million in about half a month, and then it can only increase slowly over time.

Toosaka Kiyoshi had an idea in mind, and the person in charge of the music platform naturally had an idea as well.

So the other party brought another cooperation plan on the eighth day, with a 38% profit share, but they gave up the exclusive broadcasting rights and no longer required Alona to join their platform. They just hoped that Alona could interact with the virtual singers on their platform in the future.

Of course, the last point is a verbal agreement, and whether to fulfill it is entirely up to Tousaka Kiyoshi himself.

At this point, the general cooperation plan has been determined, but more details still need to be discussed face to face with the contract.

It was also on this day that Tousaka Kiyoshi finally finished the song "Loser", and he sent a message to Goto asking him to go home alone and come to his place later.

Goto Du was very much looking forward to the new song that Kiyoshi Toosaka would bring out. After returning home, putting down his schoolbag and guitar, he rushed to Kiyoshi Toosaka's residence as soon as possible.

Goto Doku's mother looked at her daughter's hurriedly leaving figure and said worriedly: "I always feel that Xiao Doku and Toosaka are a little too close. It's not like a girl would go to the home of a boy who lives alone all day long."

Goto Doku's father, on the other hand, said in a relaxed tone, "That boy has talent, and he is also studying music like Doku. He is also mature and steady in his dealings with others. He and Doku can have common topics, and the atmosphere won't be dull. If they really have something going on, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just worried that Doku is too slow, or that he's too scared to move forward. If he misses out on his good man, he might regret it for a long time."
