Chapter 695: Red Pavilion
Songs such as "In the Spring" and "Glory" can certainly be purchased through genuine albums, but songs such as "Ordinary Road", "Wild Child", and "Trouble with the Moon", except for the genuine cassette versions released in Hong Kong and other places, fans in other regions, especially in the mainland, have almost zero chance of listening to these songs again. Many people www.biquge.info can only listen to pirated albums or radio broadcasts.
The sound quality of pirated albums is generally not mentioned, and for many "green fans", buying pirated albums is more like a crime, and it is expedient to murder idols, so there are many refusals.
And radio on-demand is not cost-effective, the income of each song is filled by major music stations, and a copyright fee has never been settled with the copyright owner, so it cannot be regarded as the best support channel for idols.
Therefore, the "Music Network" founded by Li Qing has become a channel for many fans and music lovers to linger.
Here, from "Angel's Wings" to "Love When You Die", and then to "Actor", these genuine songs that have not been disseminated through CD media have appeared one by one in the music network, and even some songs that are more out of the way and have not been made public, such as "Sudden Self", "Loyal to the Country", "You at the Same Table" and other songs, can also be found in the "Music Network", which makes all the "green fans" can't help but be happy.
Since its inception, to now, the music network has become a veritable number one music network in China, and with the operation of Gu Xiaohong, the music network has gradually begun the development of "diversification", not only Li Qing's songs, but also Bao Yunyun, Leng Ling, Hua De'an and even many first-line singers' songs, can be found in the music network.
However, these songs, in fact, have not obtained copyright permission, and most of them are uploaded by "Internet users".
At first, Li Qing was strongly opposed to this practice, and he was very worried that he would be complained and reported for copyright reasons in the future.
But according to Gu Xiaohong's meaning, first, the state has not published relevant documents on Internet law.
Second, judging from the current situation, the music network did not use the songs of these singers to make profits, and even if they sued, the winning rate of the other party was basically zero.
Thirdly, and most crucially, the source of these songs is all uploaded by "Internet users".
In fact, these songs are indeed uploaded by some users with weak copyright awareness, as Gu Xiaohong, the webmaster who founded and operated the music network, after discovering this situation, neither stopped nor fueled arrogance, but regarded this matter as a little transparent and let it be.
The effect of Gu Xiaohong's disregard soon became apparent, and as more and more "Internet users" uploaded more and more songs by other singers, the number of IP visits to "Music Network" began to surge rapidly.
Until now, the number of IP visits to the music network has exceeded 200,000 in a single day, and the highest user online record is as high as 600,000!
In the last month of 1998, with the strong tilt of national policies, the scale of the Internet grew rapidly.
Today, there are more than 5 million Internet broadband users, which means that more than 5 million households in the country have direct or indirect access to the Internet.
This data is nearly double that of 1998 in Li Qing's previous life!
According to the channel information collected by Hanhai Illusion Technology, under the policy of benefiting the people, Internet users are showing explosive growth every day, especially in the past six months, and its growth rate is like a huge storm.
Many people across the country have also discovered the business opportunities, and as a result, Internet cafes have sprung up......
And the Phantom Technology "Legend of Blood" team has long been ready to go, just wait for the peripheral payment model to mature, and it will promote this online game like the whole country......
Despite the growing scale of the Internet, they have noticed that this new project can only be said to be a minority, and they still have a wait-and-see attitude towards this new project.
Therefore, whether it is a music network or Weibo, although there are similar websites, when it comes to investment and intentions, they can't catch up with the former.
Except for companies like Hanhai, led by Li Qing, who will be idle and investigate the state of the market, almost no one across the country has noticed that Internet projects are encroaching on the space for physical projects.
Therefore, no one cares whether the decline in record sales in the music industry is due to the general environment.
Everyone thinks that the reason why the album sales of Bao Yunyun, Wang Weihong and others are less than expected is because of the quality of their records or the lack of fans in the year.
In their eyes, they only saw the radiant Li Qing, and blindly thought that the market was getting better......
Everyone, whether it is a singer, an actor or an artist in other professions, who has a little talent for singing, and when they see the figure of 175 million, they all have the intention of getting involved in the record industry.
So, one by one, greed arose, like dumplings, and they all started the preparation of a new album......
In the phone call of Zhang Zitao, president of Universal Music in Hong Kong, in addition to mentioning the sales and sharing settlement date of Li Qing's album of the same name, he also urged Li Qing to go to Hong Kong's "Hung Hom Stadium" to rehearse the concert project.
The Red Pavilion is a place that all singers in the Chinese pop music scene yearn for, and like Taipei Arena, a singer can hold a concert in this kind of place, which plays a big role in the promotion of fame, identity, and seniority in the music world.
Whether it is the Hong Kong Red Pavilion or the Taipei Arena, when cooperating with others, the requirements for the popularity of singers are also very high.
However, in later generations, because of the change in the profit model of the Red Pavilion, the eighteenth-tier artists could be on the stage as long as they gave money, which led to the Red Pavilion gradually being removed from the T1 stage.
Not to mention that compared with the Little Arena, even the 80,000-person gymnasium in the East China Sea and the style of the Beijing Gongti in the mainland are far inferior.
But today, the Red Pavilion is still the place that all singers yearn for.
Li Qing didn't know that this was the first time he had received a call from Zhang Zitao, just at this time he finished the key plot of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", and after asking Xue Yan about his own announcement, he agreed to Zhang Zitao's request.
Three days later.
Li Qing took his team of artists and began to fly to Hong Kong.
This time, Universal Music did not reveal the news of Li Qing's itinerary, so when Li Qing and others got off the plane, they did not cause much disturbance at the airport, and everyone soon came to Universal Music Hong Kong.
Zhang Zitao had been waiting for a long time in front of the headquarters building, and when he saw Li Qing, who was dressed in disguise and covered himself tightly, he couldn't help but be happy, "Li Sheng, you really responded to Mr. Wu Chengen's common saying: real people don't show their faces." ”
