Chapter 22

Li Mu has been enlightened since the day he was reborn. As long as it hasn't appeared yet, he can take it out as his own. Although he is a little sorry for future generations, he also talks about everything first. Who will let him be reborn?

Compared with the plagiarism of later generations, it is said to be original, and I am much more embarrassed than them.

So, Li Mu decided to recognize the so-called originality of this song with integrity, and then suddenly thought of another folk song that he liked very much.

It stands to reason that it will take many years to come out, but Li Mu really likes it very much. With such a recording opportunity, he really wants to record this song too.

So, Li Mu said to Zhang Kexuan, "I still have an original song, just take this opportunity, please help me to record it too."

Li Muyi said that he still has an original song, and the four members of the band and Chen Wan all came to the spirit.

Zhang Kexuan hurriedly asked, "What style is it?"

"ballad."

"Okay, let's get started!"

This song sung by Li Mu, the prelude is replaced by the simplest decomposition chords little by little, this feeling is like Lao Lang's "You at the Same Table", with the harmonica and the simplest and most simple decomposition chords, it is easy to create A melodious and moving folk classic.

Therefore, when they heard the very simple opening of Li Mu's song, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. The prelude of this song didn't seem to be very good, it was much inferior to the zebra song just now.

However, after breaking down the chords for a measure, Li Mu used a melodious humming voice to simply pave the way for a real melody line prelude. In this way, it was like the harmonica in the prelude to "You at the Same Table", with a melodious and refined feeling. came out immediately.

The expressions of the four of them became tense again, but Chen Wan was the only one who had the same expression on her face now—obsessed.

After the prelude, Li Mu sang softly: "When you are old, your hair is gray, and you are drowsy..."

The five people were stunned by the stunned voice, and even their bodies stiffened a lot.

This song "When You Are Old" was known to almost everyone in the last life. Different people have very different feelings when listening to this song. Some people will think of the picture of themselves and their lover getting old together, while others will Think of his old parents.

Li Mu is the latter. This song always reminds him of his parents, who worked hard for him in his previous life, and grew old at a speed that caught him off guard, so whenever he heard this song, Li Mu would have tears in his eyes. An old man in his thirties sometimes sheds a few tears of guilt while avoiding everyone.

Because this song touched the heart too much, it was able to be popular all over the country that year, and it was covered by countless well-known singers, and it became popular all over the country.

Therefore, he wanted to sing this song too much, and even sang it, and his eyes were wet with tears as he did in his previous life.

Li Mu sang this song for five minutes, and in one minute, Chen Wan was already in tears, Li Mu lowered his head almost at the same time, and let the tears fall on the sound-absorbing carpet as he sang.

When they sang for about two minutes, the four members of the band also seemed to have red eyes.

Not long after, another guitarist opened the door silently, leaning against the wall outside the door and weeping silently. Like Li Mu, when he heard this song, he thought of his parents. His mother passed away the year before. This song made him There was a lot of sadness in his heart. After a while, listening to the singing from the house, he thought of his father again, and the guilt of rebelling for many years emerged in his heart for the first time.

After Li Mu finished singing, the other three members of the band were also full of emotion and sentimentality. If they were simply asked to listen to this song, they might not be so emotional. It's hard for them not to get infected when their faces sing this song.

Chen Wan had just cried, and I felt pity for it, she choked and asked Li Mu, "I really want to see the lyrics, but I can't remember them all of a sudden.

"

Li Mu smiled slightly and explained, "The lyrics are adapted from a poem by William Butler Yeats. The name of the poem is When-you-are-old."

Zhang Kexuan asked, "Did you write the song yourself?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded, agreeing as a matter of course.

Although Zhang Kexuan's musical attainments are average, he still has a vision, and said seriously: "If you have the opportunity to release a single album for these two songs, it should be very marketable."

Li Mu asked with a smile, "Do you think there is still a market for records?"

"Ah?" Zhang Kexuan asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Li Mu shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

The record industry in China has always lacked copyright protection. From its birth to its decline, it has always been plagued by piracy. Moreover, in the future, with the popularization of the Internet, the popularization of the MP3 format, and the popularization of MP3 software and hardware, the traditional record industry will decline rapidly regardless of genuine piracy. , which evolved into the rise of pirated digital music.

Now, many audition sites have emerged, and they have attracted a considerable number of users, such as Real2000. The user demand has not really risen, and the current user distribution is very scattered.

The famous search engine Baidu will launch MP3 search and download next year, and only open the download of unlicensed songs to Chinese domestic IP users, and will gather most of the trial download users in a short period of time. It can be said to be a pioneer in infringement.

And its attitude towards MP3 infringement will remain very firm in the next few years. Even in the face of lawsuits from major record companies, it will try its best to keep the business of MP3 search and download. The reason is very simple. Players start blowing out in China. Once the mobile phone starts to support MP3 playback, the market demand will rapidly expand to an unimaginable level. Whether it is downloading or online audition, it will rise rapidly.

By then, all the large Internet companies that can be counted in China will carry out their own music audition and download business, and there is no exception to the issue of infringement.

If you build an MP3 audition and download site now, make a layout and gather users before the market heats up, you will definitely be able to cultivate an extremely large project.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly had an epiphany, and now he started to build a trial site, intercepting future users of Baidu MP3 half a year in advance, it will definitely have a great impact on Baidu, for a search engine, no one needs more Users in this area need more retention of users, and more need to cultivate the viscosity of users.

Digital copyright will not be proposed until after 2005. The law is not perfect, the cost and risk of infringement are very low, but the market is huge. The argumentation and tearing of this copyright and related laws and regulations will continue for a long time. It will take another ten or eight years to actually start the implementation.

Now there are also online, but now it doesn't take too long to build a trial listening website. It takes a year and a half. If the daily traffic can reach one million or even higher, you can go to Baidu's money.

I will keep it in my hands until 2003 and 2004 at the latest. When the copyright issue has just begun to get a little attention, I will make a move or transform it in time, and that's it!

Li Mu made up his mind, glanced at Zhang Kexuan, and his heart turned quickly.

These four people are all second-generation rich, so it would be more appropriate to catch them and let them help him promote and operate the audition website.

However, the rich second generation is rich and arrogant, how can they capture their hearts?

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu suddenly opened his mouth and said to Zhang Kexuan: "By the way, I still have a quick song, the lyrics and music have been written, but it does not suit my personal style, it is very rhythmic, and the melody line is easy to remember. , are you interested? If you are interested, I can authorize you to take it to the competition."

Zhang Kexuan looked at Li Mu with straight eyes: "Li Mu, no, Brother Mu, is what you said true?"

The drummer no longer pretended to be forceful: "Brother Mu, you're right, I'm really showing off my wealth by putting so many cymbals, you're a professional, don't have the same knowledge as me..."

Li Mu's words captured the hearts of this group of people.

Li Mu wasn't quite sure what the rich second generation played rock and roll, but one thing he could be sure of was that it was never for money. If he wanted to make money from this, the four of them would definitely be kicked out of their heads by donkeys.

Why not for money, ideal? Not quite. face? part.

I am afraid that it is the most important thing to create a unique and compelling style that makes people look up to people, especially to make girls look up to them.

Zhang Kexuan's level, if you really want to compare them nationwide, is not necessarily comparable to a high school band, yes, definitely not comparable. The Huaer Band released their first album in 1999. The four of them, if It will take a few years to come up with an album of the level of "Hua'er".

So, when Li Mu said he was willing to give them a song to participate in the band competition, they regarded Li Mu as a god.

It's like a bunch of gangsters who are still drilling wood to make fire. They see a savage master who pulls out two different boutique Zippo lighters and lights cigarettes twice in a row, although he dare not expect others to give him a delicate I don't have a lighter, but just throwing a box of matches can make my brother cry.

"Brother Mu, tell me, what are the conditions!"

Li Mu squeezed his chin and pretended to be hesitant: "Actually, there are no conditions, the transfer fee of 20,000 yuan, plus help me run a music website in the future, if it goes well, I will give you another song, if it is very good Well, I'll just put together three songs for you, and let you make an EP."
