272. Music websites must be fair! Open! Fair!
ps: Thank you for your 588 reward from Long Ming, and also celebrate your becoming the fifth deacon in this book. I would like to thank Elfuture00 for your monthly ticket. Today’s update is a bit late, and the main reason is that the community circuit maintenance is repaired, so I temporarily cut off the electricity, but fortunately I caught up.
Early the next morning, several starring monks from "Wulin Waijie" sent Ye Sumang to the car on his way home.
"Brother Ye Zi, I don't want you to leave. Can't you stay here and film with us and play together?" Wang Shasha reluctantly held Ye Sumang's hand and begged.
Ye Sumang smiled, pulled out his hand, and then touched the little girl's head.
"My brother has something to do, but I promise that I will come to the crew to visit the crew frequently in the future."
"Then the hook?" Although Wang Shasha was young, she knew that there was something she could not do. However, after hearing Ye Sumang's promise, her face improved a lot. It seemed to be to make Ye Sumang more comply with her promise. She even came up with this promise method that she had not played with when she was a child.
"Hook!" Ye Sumang did not refuse, and stretched out his hand readily, hooking Wang Shashabai's tender little hand.
"Hang the hook and hang it, you will not change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy!" Ye Sumang and Wang Shasha made a promise.
"Brother Ye Zi, I agreed to visit the set frequently, otherwise I would promote the crew that the director is a puppy who does not keep his promise." Seeing Ye Sumang honestly pulling the hook, Wang Shasha nodded with satisfaction, and did not forget to "threat" Ye Sumang afterwards.
"I can't forget it." Ye Sumang naturally would not care about the children's words.
Several people next to them looked at the scene where Ye Sumang accompanied Wang Shasha and smiled from the bottom of their hearts, especially Shang Jing, Yan Ni and others. They were also children. Looking at Ye Sumang's every move, they were both surprised and admired them very much.
"Okay, don't send it away, it will also delay your filming time. I will come to visit the set when I have time. Lao Sha and Xiao Jiang will then have another meal." Ye Sumang opened the car door, sat in the back seat, then opened the car window, and waved goodbye to the remaining people with a smile.
"Don't worry, Director Ye, I'll accompany you both white and red." Sha Yi said with his chest, with the pleasure on his face not hidden at all. Jiang Chao, who was beering beside him, nodded.
Ye Sumang greeted Yan Ni and Yao Chen again, and then he spoke to Shang Jing who was waiting aside.
"Photos well, don't be stressed. I have watched the script, it's very good. I have also watched the filming scene of the crew, and it's also very good. I believe you will become famous in one play."
"I'll give you a good word, haha." Shang Jing's eyes were full of gratitude. Although Ye Sumang was very young, he had always been in this circle regardless of age but strength. A director with a total box office of more than 600 million yuan gave a affirmation. He also felt a hot heart.
Seeing Shang Jing's gratitude look, Ye Sumang didn't say anything more. Sometimes he should just point the encouragement, so that the other party will be more motivated and not become arrogant.
"Goodbye everyone! I will hold a celebration banquet for you in Kyoto!" The car started slowly, and Ye Sumang once again stretched out the window and waved it casually.
"goodbye!"
"Goodbye Director Ye!"
"Director Ye, we will work hard to arrange this TV series and look forward to your celebration banquet in Kyoto!"
With a wave of hand, the car had already carried a burst of smoke and dust and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Leave?" Looking at the empty street, Yao Chen murmured reluctantly.
"Oh, I'm leaving." Sha Yi sighed, full of reluctance. Although Ye Sumang had only been here for a day, Sha Yi had already regarded this great director as his good friend.
The key is that such a person who is famous, talented, and has no airs yet is really rare.
"Okay, everyone should keep their thoughts. Everyone heard at the banquet yesterday. If our TV series is ready, Director Ye will help us open a movie version. Don't you want to become a movie actor? If you think about it, work harder next time. We must make this TV series popular." Shang Jing said to everyone with encouragement.
Although he often said that "TV series will become popular, and you will also become popular", the "fire" he said at that time is a very different difference from the "fire" he said now. The words in the past are mostly perfunctory, but now they are indeed full of hope and fighting spirit.
"Let's go back to the set." Hearing Shang Jing's words, the eyes of several people couldn't help but lit up. Ye Sumang's words at the dinner table yesterday seemed to be still wandering in their ears, making their hearts hot again.
However, when everyone returned to the set, they found that many crew members looked at the crowd with a strange look.
"What's wrong?" Shang Jing asked quickly because she was afraid that there was something wrong with the crew.
"No, just a few people came and were waiting there." The crew members looked at the director's worried gaze and quickly explained, pointing their hands at the big men in the corner of the set.
"Is this?" Following the direction of the staff's fingers, several people looked over and looked at each other, but they all found that the other's eyes were full of confusion.
At least Shang Jing, Sha Yi and the others can be sure that these people have never appeared in their memory.
"Can't it be the kind of X society who came to collect protection fees?" It seemed that he thought of a certain plot in the movie, and that he had occasionally heard rumors about this. Yao Chen said with some whimsical thoughts, but there was a hint of trembling in his voice. After all, the reputation of that kind of person is not very good.
After Yao Chen said this, except for Shang Jing and the staff, everyone present changed their faces.
"No, this is a regular cinema, how could that kind of person appear?" Shang Jing's eyebrows instantly retorted immediately.
"That's right, Sister Yao Chen, you're wrong. These things are sent by Director Ye." The staff immediately explained from the side, but as soon as he said that everyone was glaring at him.
"You kid are breathing heavily when you speak. Don't you say it earlier!" Sha Yi rolled his eyes at him fiercely, and the worry just now was a waste of time.
The staff was scolded by everyone. They were determined to refute but because of their identity, they could only lower their heads aggrievedly.
Shang Jing had already walked in front of those big men at this time.
"Hello, I am the director of this TV series, my name is Shang Jing."
"Director Shang Jing, we were sent by President Ye to help the crew with martial arts guidance. My name is Fan Zhong, just call me Zhongzai." The leading man immediately brought someone to tell the purpose of the trip when he heard Shang Jing's self-introduction.
"Did you mean you are the martial arts directors? Or did Director Ye ask you here?" Shang Jing couldn't help but ask. But a warm current couldn't help but flow through his heart.
"That's right, Mr. Ye called me yesterday afternoon and asked us to come to the crew this morning, and Director Shang, who can give us a script for the martial arts scene to be filmed next, so we can also make condoms or something."
"Of course, no problem. Xiao Liu, come to that script quickly." Shang Jing was stunned by the other party's decisive attitude, but she still reacted quickly and immediately asked her assistant to get the script.
"Everyone, come and meet several starring actors in the crew." The appearance of these people undoubtedly gave the director a good mood. Taking advantage of the assistant's time to get the script, Shang Jing rubbed his hands excitedly and suggested.
"certainly."
More than ten seconds later, another sound of surprise and excitement sounded from the crew.
Sitting in the car, Ye Sumang slowly looked out the window. At this time, the car was about to run to the vicinity of the main urban area of Kyoto. At this moment, the phone in Ye Sumang's pocket rang twice, as if it was a signal. In the next minute, the phone kept ringing again.
Ye Sumang did not take out his cell phone immediately, but continued to look out the window, as if there was a beautiful scenery on the side of the road. However, he seemed to look around curiously but found that it was no different from usual, but he didn't know what his boss was looking at.
In fact, Ye Sumang was just trance.
Because when he was in the car just now, he got another report, that Huang Bo's second single ep has started to be released, and the sales are gratifying, but one thing is a bit unpleasant is that the click rates on the promotional lists of major websites feel like they are crawling. From the implicit meaning of the report, it seems that the website can do it, and it is for a little 'website maintenance fee'.
Ye Sumang nodded on the phone and agreed, but after hanging up the phone, his mind was far less calm than when he agreed just now.
Singers play songs and then buy charts, which seems to have become a convention in the Chinese music scene.
No matter how big a artist is, he always has to pay some "benefits" to be on the list, which is known as the website maintenance fee, which also causes uneven quality of the music charts.
Good music is short of money and cannot be increased, while bad music is listed on the list because of filial piety.
The key is that this nature is not just one or two, but almost 90% of them are like this. In addition to the fact that several search websites seem fair due to openness, there are always such dark corners on some private music charts.
Such things naturally caused these music charts to lack credibility, but everyone did this, so it seems that this situation also shows signs of continuing and growing.
However, Ye Sumang saw a hint of opportunity to touch the music industry.
That is to start a music website, a music website based on fairness, openness and justice. Everything is left to data to speak, without involving interests, and be innocent. Ye Sumang believes that once such a website appears, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Chinese music industry!
In fact, Ye Sumang has not been around for a day or two. As early as when the crew of "Singing and Dance Youth" accidentally saw Hyoyeon trying to win support tickets for a group, he became interested in such a website.
By the way, the website Hyoyeon logged in is the famous Korean search website ‘naver’.
Of course, Ye Sumang is not going to enter the search engine industry. He just wants to create a small-scale music search website, where there are currently popular songs and mvs. Then fans can search to find their favorite songs or mvs, and then this data will be retained and then made into the list.
This is just a preliminary idea. Ye Sumang is planning to hold another meeting after returning to Kyoto. Then, we will improve this website based on everyone's ideas.
At noon that day, Ye Sumang had already arrived at the company. Without having lunch, Ye Sumang hurried all the senior staff of the music department and planning department to discuss matters about the music website.
"Boss, is this your idea?" After Ye Sumang finished speaking, as one of the music department supervisors, Vien couldn't help asking.
"No, this is mainly based on the conclusions drawn from websites from some surrounding countries. I think a website that emphasizes 'fairness, openness, justice' will definitely be loved by fans." Ye Sumang explained seriously in response to the German from the Hamburg Conservatory of Music.
This Wien is a craftsman-like talent. Although he does not have any creative talent, he is very sensitive to music, and is proficient in many instruments, and has his own unique ideas for adaptation. He is highly valued by Ye Sumang.
"But this will lose the interests of the website itself, and may even be isolated by peers. Boss, I remember that there is a most basic principle here in China, that is, follow the crowd. If we make special things, we may become targets." His rigorous personality made Vien analyze everything calmly. He has been in China for many years and was able to quote some words in his words to strengthen his opinions.
Ye Sumang just smiled and waved his hand.
"You are wrong, Vien. Sometimes 'accomplishment' is indeed right, but when you are, you must 'lead'." Ye Sumang stood up, supported his hands on the table, and looked at everyone seriously.
"Do you know that this is the best opportunity for us to enter the music market. Once such a website is opened, it will inevitably cause a trend in the industry. At that time, whether it is accumulating or depreciating, it will form a topic, which will invisibly increase the popularity of the website instantly.
And all you will lose the benefits of the website itself, which is not irreparable. Although the copyright fees for songs and mvs will cost us a lot of money, we can completely earn it back from the advertisement.
I also have another idea. This music website should not be a simple music website. I hope they can contain more content.
For example, in addition to normal song lists, we can also set up some MV hot lists and some special lists to build a diverse and humane ranking website.
And we can also open fan forums on the website like Qian, give them exclusive venues for communication, and divide them into levels. You can register for free, but there is also a paid membership system, so that fans can get more opportunities to get close to celebrities. At the same time, we can also design a membership ranking list for fans forums, which can attract fans' attention and consumption, and at the same time eliminate the existence of rankings."
"Where is technical support? There are no video websites in China yet. We are not familiar with the technology. Moreover, if we open such a website, will we really not be suppressed by our peers?" Wien asked.
"First of all, we don't have any peers in the music circle, which is a strange environment for us, so it doesn't matter whether we offend people or not, and I'm not afraid of offending people." Ye Sumang's tone was full of strong confidence when he said this.
"As for the video website, this is even simpler. You should know about yotube. I think I will get their help."
Ye Sumang's words made Wien's eyes lit up. Yotube, that is the largest video website in the United States and even the world. It emerged more than a year ago. It took only a year for Facebook to develop rapidly with its connections. It has until now become the peak existence among video websites, with popularity covering the whole world.
"Then I have no problem, boss." When it comes to this, Vien will naturally not refute it again.
"Now you can start the discussion. It is best to come up with a few more plans, and also put the recruitment matters on the agenda as soon as possible."
As soon as Ye Sumang said this, the conference room suddenly became chaotic.
"I think it is possible to set up a hot review list for fans. I think songs with fan reviews or mvs are obviously more attractive than a simple list!"
"This suggestion is good, you can keep it." Ye Sumang nodded, and the person who made the comment was full of excitement, obviously happy that his suggestion was adopted by chance.
Ye Sumang's affirmation also made the atmosphere of discussion more enthusiastic. After all, as employees, they also hoped that they could leave a deep and complacent impression in front of the big boss.
"I think since it's a ranking, there must be benefits. We can make the songs ranked in three into large pictures and posters on the homepage of the website. This is believed to be a good incentive for other singers."
"My idea is about charging. I think members can also be hierarchical. As time goes by, the level of members will also increase and the benefits they receive the most. Of course, the premise of all this requires the public relations department to prepare. We can give out as much benefits as they can get."
"What you said is interesting, is there any?" Ye Sumang asked his assistant to carefully record all these suggestions. I believe that many of them must be added to the website to make the website more distinctive.
The matter was discussed from noon until dinner time ended. This was because Ye Sumang saw that it was too long and was afraid that everyone would not be able to hold on. Otherwise, the musicians and planners would have to continue to discuss.
"Don't worry about things. The website preparation will take a long process. Your opinions can be handed over to me once a week in the future. Then I will conduct a preliminary screening and then vote again at the meeting of that month. I hope our music website can be realized within three months. Please work hard for everyone!"
Ye Sumang left the conference room and dragged his tired body to the cafeteria to get a dinner. He returned to the office. After an afternoon of discussion, even though he was in good health, he felt a little too tired.
Chapter completed!
