Chapter 9 The times are progressing, and independent musicians also have a way out (2/2, 3,000-word monthly pass)

"Bah bang bang!"

Yang Qian had just finished singing, and before he could recover from the long and delicate sound at the end of the guitar, the village chief Xiang Chenghan across the round table couldn't wait to applaud him.

"Good singing! Teacher Yang sings so well!"

Xiang Chenghan couldn't tell what was good about it, so he just praised it and that was it.

Yang Qian didn't care much that he interrupted his recollection. He just smiled, put his arm on the guitar, and held hands with the village chief.

However, Lu Youyi was a little unhappy. He was still planning to finish filming the sound, but in the end, he stabbed the village chief. It was so abrupt that it was difficult to edit the rest!

But he is soft-spoken, and Lu Youyi is still planning to go back and drink the Maotai that has been stored for more than ten years!

"Let me copy this material later."

He didn't say anything, he could only put down the camera angrily and handed it back to Xiang Tiange.

"Oh, okay, Teacher Lu, just let me know when you have time. The audio material is also available."

Xiang Tiange put away the camera and radio equipment together, but he did not touch the guitar that Yang Qian handed over. He wanted to ask Yang Qian for guidance on fingerstyle guitar skills when he came back later.

Yang Qian is obviously a master!

Unfathomable master!

Xiang Tiange can be considered a good guitar player, but compared with Yang Qian, he still feels that he is far behind.

The other people at the table who were eating and drinking together were all praising Yang Qian for singing beautifully. Yang Qian couldn't handle any of your words or my words.

Ouyang Cheng didn't praise Yang Qian, but that didn't mean he didn't like the song Yang Qian just sang. He was pretending to be reserved just because he was proud!

Your apprentice has shown his talents, shouldn't you be proud of being a master?

Ouyang Cheng didn't understand music, and he never thought of asking Yang Qian where the song just now came from - he had never heard of so many songs, so it was normal for him not to recognize them.

Instead, everyone praised Yang Qian incessantly, which made Ouyang Cheng feel proud of himself.

Driver Xie's flattery has already captured the attention of Ouyang Cheng!

"Teacher Ouyang, congratulations on having such a powerful apprentice with both civil and military skills!"

Master Xie often accompanied Ouyang Cheng on missions and knew his temper. This flattery came at the right time and was just right. It was so comfortable that Ouyang Cheng's eyes narrowed when he was drunk.

Both civil and military, literary refers to the literary talent of writing articles, and martial arts refers to singing. Although this word is somewhat far-fetched, but flattering, the more vulgar it is, the more people like it.

"Hey, I didn't know he had such a skill. I wouldn't even know if this kid didn't sing today!"

Ouyang Cheng said something about Yang Qian in a somewhat blaming tone, but in fact it was too late for him to like this apprentice, so how could he really blame him?

"With such a skill, Mr. Ouyang, your news department won't have to worry about the cultural program at the end of this year, right? Xiao Yang is so good, you can ask him to play and sing by himself! I'm guaranteed to win first place!"

Master Xie continued.

"Hey, you really reminded me! Let me tell Minister Chen later that in the meeting a few days ago, he said that he would start preparing programs. This year, the station will submit several cultural and artistic programs to participate in the New Year's Day gala in the province.

Let’s try to get a spot in our station. Let’s see if Xiao Yang can do this!”

Ouyang Cheng became interested.

Yang Qian didn't know that the teacher was paying attention to him. After he finished singing, he began to keep a low profile again, sitting in his original position with Xiang Tiange and chatting about music, hiding behind the shouts of a group of drunkards who had drunk too much.

"Teacher Yang, you can sing much better than me. Why don't you start a live broadcast or make a video?"

Xiang Tiange chatted with Yang Qian about guitar for a while, and Yang Qian answered all his questions and taught him patiently. Xiang Tiange was moved and admired, and couldn't help but ask Yang Qian.

Although live broadcasts or videos may not be popular, young people these days have more lively minds. How can they tolerate a normal job with many rules and not much money?

Most of those who have some ability or good looks have become Internet celebrities...

Yang Qian was in a daze, remembering a similar question asked by his sister three months ago.

However, even though three months had passed and he looked the same except for being tanned, Yang Qian still did not change his original intention and answered Xiang Tiange with the same answer he gave to his sister three months ago.



In fact, Yang Qian has achieved nothing in the past three months. Through his hard work of playing and singing by himself after going home every night, he has unlocked eight new songs in three months!

If you include the earliest "Goodbye" and "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced", Yang Qian already has the resources for ten songs.

However, not all of the ten songs can be sung by Yang Qian, or not all of them can be sung well!

Just like "Seeing the Smoke Again", Yang Qian, who listened to the original version, felt that he would never be able to sing at such a level in his life.

After all, this is a female voice song, and it is also a female voice song sung by Teresa Teng!

Even if Yang Qian had passed the entire vocal range, he didn't think he would be able to sing the sweet voice of this legend in the Chinese music scene on earth.

It was a high-pitched voice, and it was a female voice. Yang Qian wanted to play the song at first.

Fortunately, he did not give up, but persisted. He sang it ten times without overestimating his abilities, unlocked all the singing methods, and gained a new understanding of the song.

The two most popular versions of this song are still female versions, and both are sung by divas, one is Teacher Deng and the other is Queen Wang.

None of them could be controlled by Yang Qian.

Fortunately, among the many cover versions later, Yang Qian found a male version sung by a singer from the group "Good Sister" who also sang the version of "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" before his debut.

It unexpectedly fits his voice and is also surprisingly suitable for him to sing at this time!

That's why Yang Qian unexpectedly "recovered" this great song with beautiful lyrics and music.

Even so, Yang Qian found that there were still not many songs that were suitable for him to sing. Among the ten songs, many of them had female voices, or high-pitched voices, or that he couldn't control right now.

Yang Qian can only continue to work hard, strive to unlock greater rewards as soon as possible, improve his singing skills, and improve his voice ability. He also wants to sing high notes!



"...Making videos takes up a lot of time. Once you become an Internet celebrity, you don't have the time or thought to slowly work on your singing skills."

"So, rather than becoming famous right away, I would rather spend more time practicing on my own, and then move closer to my dream little by little."

Yang Qian has a clearer understanding of the path he wants to take than he did three months ago.

Maybe it's because he has met more top singers on the planet. He realizes the gap between himself and those singers who can sing for many years, and he is fascinated by their realm.

However, Xiang Tiange is not Yang Shihan, and he has no way to discuss this issue in depth with Yang Qian. But in his opinion, it is a pity that Yang Qian sings so well, but only "behind closed doors".

"You don't need to make videos, but you can also publish your own songs. Now on platforms such as Music Cloud or Yueyin, we can register and verify independent musicians ourselves, and then we can publish our own songs, whether they are covers or originals. These

They all have income.”

What Xiang Tiange said opened a window for the ignorant Yang Qian.

Release songs as an independent musician?

Can you sing songs by yourself?

Yang Qian didn't know much about the world of singers before. His thinking was still stuck in the traditional record industry. He felt that a singer's debut was still the same as before, step by step, signing with a record company, slowly honing and accumulating, and releasing records.

Or, like a talent show singer, you can participate in variety show singing competitions, become famous, and then be signed by an agency to release your own works.

As for those popular singers who don't sing well, as well as the career paths of boy bands and girl bands, Yang Qian doesn't consider them.

But now the world has changed?

Can you become a singer yourself without going through an agency?

"Yes, that's what I am..."

Xiang Tiange introduced his experience to Yang Qian.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Nowadays, major music apps provide grassroots singers with a platform to display their abilities. It is a bit like online novels. There is almost no threshold. As long as you think you can sing well, you can post it there.

Songs recorded by myself.

It is a little different from the originality that online novels emphasize. There is a threshold for song creation, so except for some singers who insist on originality, most people still cover more mature music works.

Of course, this depends on whether the platform has the copyright. If the original copyright owner of the song does not agree with others' cover, the related cover works will be removed from the shelves.

There is no threshold for publishing your own music works, but whether the audience likes it or not depends on the quality of the work itself and whether the singer's voice sounds good or not.

Xiang Tiange posted the audio of his own singing. Although it was not popular, some of the video viewers came to him from the video platform, which also gave him a lot of traffic.

"There will be almost two to three thousand in income every month. I posted it on the Yueyin platform. Their income structure is, membership + single + advertising + accompaniment + cover + digital album + appreciation + song and song trading + exclusive incentive bonus + cooperation

+Sponsorship…”

Xiang Tiange dug out his backstage and showed it to Yang Qian openly.

"I don't have that much income, but the advertising share and membership share are actually pretty good."

Xiang Tiange has not released many cover works, but after all, he is famous for his videos and can be regarded as an alternative popular singer. This has indeed increased his income a lot.

Xiang Tiange feels that Yang Qian plays and sings better than him. If he also posts songs on the Internet, he should have better results than himself.

However, Yang Qian doesn't care much about his income.

He is not a person with high material pursuits. He is usually satisfied if he has enough money, otherwise he would not be able to endure loneliness and not broadcast live broadcasts.

But Yang Qian is more interested in what Xiang Tiange said about becoming an independent musician and publishing his own songs on the Internet.

He is quite lonely now when he sings alone. He may be able to improve even more if he releases some of his relatively good and mature works and communicates with his fans!

"Tiange, tell me, if I want to record a song, would it be more appropriate to buy a professional recording equipment like you do, or go to a recording studio?"

Yang Qian asked for advice with great interest.

"I can do it this way, but it's okay for me to shoot videos this way, but it's a lot worse for me to record songs. It depends on whether you have high requirements for the sound quality of the songs you post!"
