623 [The First Snow in 2002]

For the recording of Huang Bo's new album, Xiang Nan did not cooperate with Warner Bros.

For one thing, this kind of Internet divine comedy does not require much cost or elaborate production. Rough, rough, and original are actually its style.

Dao Lang recorded his first album for less than 100,000 yuan in total. The production cost of many online songs is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Secondly, Warner Maimiao mainly focuses on folk songs and rock, and its main audience is the literary and artistic youth of the mainland. The audience of Internet Divine Comedy is young people in small towns, which is not the same audience, so it is inappropriate to produce and distribute it.

Xiang Nan plans to find someone to record it by himself, then find a record company to release it, and discuss cooperation with Internet companies, China Mobile, and Nantong.

The recording of the new album went relatively smoothly.

After 2000, as banditry became more and more rampant, many musicians were not making any money and were worried about finding work. Many recording studios were also empty, and many closed down.

Xiang Nan is asking them for help now just to give them money. Therefore, there is no need to worry about no one cooperating.



And while he was busy, Song Bing received the news and came over to see him.

"Yuan Shuai, I heard that you intend to go it alone?" he asked straight to the point.

"No, I still have a five-album contract with Mai Miao. I'm breaking the contract if I go it alone." Xiang Nan laughed, "Besides, if I am determined to go it alone, will I still sign with you?"

"Then why did I hear that you have recently been recruiting troops to record a new album?" Song Bing asked curiously.

"Oh, that's not me, that's an artist under my company." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I have some songs that are not suitable for me to sing, but they are just suitable for him to sing."

"Can you collaborate with us? What song is it?" Song Bing asked curiously.

Xiang Nan then played the recorded "Mouse Loves Rice" to Song Bing.

"..." After listening to this, Song Bing looked at Xiang Nan in astonishment, "Yuan Shuai, did you write this song?"

"How is it? Isn't it crowded?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"It's not some, it's too mean." Song Bing shook his head and said, "If you didn't nod, I really can't believe you wrote this."

"Hey, I'm so elegant and not romantic. I'm just a human being after all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Besides, there are at least 8.9 billion lower-class people in China, so there is no need to worry about there being no market for this kind of songs. Believe it or not, my song After it was released, it became more popular than my "Love in BC"."

Song Bing thought for a while, then nodded, "In that case, let's cooperate. You give us the production and distribution of this album, and we can discuss the split."

"I originally made it for you, but then I thought it was too vulgar, so I didn't dare to say anything." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "After all, our company's style has always been quite high."

The names of Mai Miao Records come from the famous American literary novel "Mai Miao Catcher". Although Song Bing is a businessman, he has a literary heart.

"Hey, in business, making money is the first priority. To be honest, in the past two years, except for you and Pu Shu, the other singers in the company have hardly made any money." Song Bing waved his hands and said, "I'm almost going crazy thinking about money now. Already."

"In that case, okay." Xiang Nan nodded.



At the end of September, "Love Call Transfer" was officially completed.

Huang Bo's new album "The First Snow in 2002" has also been officially released.

However, Xiang Nan did not put his real name on this album. After all, these songs were too vulgar and it would damage his image.

And because of this, major distributors are not too interested in releasing this album.

After all, Huang Bo is just a newcomer,

And his appearance is not very good. Without fame and appearance, it is difficult to attract the interest of little girls.

If Xiang Nan had his name on it, these albums would still sell better. But if Xiang Nan doesn't want to name it, things would be difficult. The only selling point is gone, so who would be willing to order again.

Xiang Nan also knew this, so he quickly asked Ning Hao to help him shoot a music video to promote it.

So Huang Bo put on a mouse puppet and filmed the music video for "Mouse Loves Rice".

When this magical MV landed on the TV station, it quickly conquered a large number of listeners with its brainwashing melody and straightforward lyrics.

Without much publicity, this song has quickly become popular. It is spread from one to ten, and from one to another, in less than a week, this song has already become a household name.

When the dealer saw this, he quickly came to place an order.

Subsequently, Huang Bo's album "The First Snow in 2002" began to sell well.



As Xiang Nan said, the songs in this album are indeed a bit cheesy. However, there are still more than half of the people in China whose living standards are still relatively low and their aesthetic tastes are relatively vulgar, so these kinds of songs cater to their tastes.

For a time, the album was a hit. Speakers were played everywhere in third- and fourth-tier cities, urban-rural fringes, counties, towns, barber shops, dollar stores, and billiard halls. To be honest, the frequency was higher than that of Xiang Nan.

The songs by Najie, Sun Nan, Pu Shu and others are much better.

As a result, Huang Bo became an instant hit and became a dark horse that rose rapidly in the music world in 2003.

As he became popular, invitations to commercial performances came one after another, but most of them were invitations from second- and third-tier cities, supermarket promotions, real estate sales, rich people marrying their daughters, etc.

Huang Bo was used to visiting acupuncture points in his early years, not to mention second- and third-tier cities, he even went to the fields. Now naturally he is not picky, so he went happily.

By the end of the year, he was driving a Ferrari and had earned less than 10 million in just half a year. His ability to attract money was quite strong!

As his contract company and the producer of the album, Youth will naturally earn more. However, it earned more than 6 million from the album commission. Including the performance commission, it also has an income of nearly 20 million.



The biggest one is the development of mobile phone ring tones.

Cell phone ring tones were invented in South Korea in 2002 and entered the mainland in 2003.

At that time, there were only 2 million ringtone users. However, by 2004, the number had skyrocketed to 20 million.

Each ringtone only costs one or two yuan, but it can't be accumulated into a tower, so in total, this amount of money is quite large.

The songs on Huang Bo's album are quite in line with the aesthetic needs of the public, so the subscription rate for ring tones is extremely high. In the first year, it has already earned more than 3 million yuan.

By the second year, this income had increased sixfold to nearly 20 million, which was more than what he earned from selling albums.

Seeing such a huge amount of income, the major record companies almost went crazy, and they all began to pay attention to the ring tones business. They all wanted to release some magical songs to grab the market.

However, they were still inferior to Xiang Nan after all. The next year, Xiang Nan asked Huang Bo to release "Wolf Loves Sheep", "Sheep in Wolf Clothing", "Above the Moon", and "The Man with the Horse Pole"

, "The Most Dazzling National Style", "Little Apple", "Wrong Wrong Wrong" and the like, brainwashing and refreshing...
