NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18-The song was released successfully
Initially, Wang Mo thought that Su Xueyao would atleast need four or five days to master the song.
Unexpectedly, just after two days, he received a call from her saying that they could proceed with the recording.
Su Xueyao performed exceptionally well, even exceeding Wang Mo’s expectations.
If comparing her to the initial impression of Hao Mingxing with the stunning charm of his smoky vocals, Su Xueyao’s singing might not have seemed outstanding at first. However, when you immersed yourself in it, you would unconsciously be infected by the emotional expression in her singing, making it feel deeply resonant.
When listening to a song:
First you listen to the melody.
Then second you listen to the emotions.
And now, when Su Xueyao sang “Invisible Wings,” she excelled in both aspects.
The recording process went very smoothly. Even with Wang Mo’s commitment to perfection, it only took a single morning to complete the song.
Since Wang Mo had a complete arrangement, the post-production wouldn’t take too long.
He estimated that it would take three to five days to have the finished product.
During this time, Yuan Xiong came to see Wang Mo again. He mentioned that the livestreaming matters were mostly resolved, but the actual live streaming wouldn’t officially begin until mid to late September. Although the discussions about Wang Mo on the internet had calmed down over the past month, the longer they let the time pass, the more favorable it would be for him. Otherwise, there might be another backlash.
Wang Mo had no issues with this.
He wasn’t expecting much from the livestream anyway.
What could he even livestream?
Playing musical instruments, singing, dancing – he wasn’t proficient in any of them!
Livestreaming would just be boring!
Before leaving, Yuan Xiong suddenly asked, “Wang Mo, I heard you wrote another song and even had several singers audition for it? You even rejected singer He Zhi’s request?”
“You know about it?” Wang Mo asked.
“Of course, how can I not know? This has already angered most of the singers in the vocal department. They think you’re too arrogant, not only picking the singers but also rejecting He Zhi. It’s a provocation to the authority of the vocal department.”
Wang Mo shook his head and smiled, “It’s not me who is arrogant, they are. I just want an opportunity for an equal dialogue, but unfortunately, they just can’t accept it.”
“You really want the Composition Department to stand up?” Yuan Xiong asked.
“It should have stood up from the beginning,” Wang Mo replied.
Yuan Xiong looked Wang Mo up and down, touching to see if he had a fever.
Then he exclaimed in surprise, “Why do I feel like I’ve known you less and less everyday? You used to be a patient of chronic laziness, even refusing to stand up when urinating. Now you’re making efforts and aspiring to change the industry landscape. Your transformation is even more absurd than a pig learning how to fly.”
Wang Mo was speechless.
…
On September 5th, Wang Mo received the news that “Invisible Wings” had been successfully produced.
After listening to the final result, he immediately called Su Xueyao, “The song is ready. Go find Big Boss now and have him contact the relevant personnel to release the song.”
Su Xueyao didn’t react for a moment, “Brother Mo, what did you say?”
Wang Mo repeated it.
Su Xueyao replied dazedly, “Release the song now? But the new song chart has already been going on for five days this September.”
New songs have the best advantage on the chart when released on the first day of each month.
Otherwise, it’s almost impossible to catch up when the popularity of the previous songs are already high.
Unless it’s some small or wandering singers who have no confidence in competing on the charts, they would avoid the intense moments of chart competition in the first few days and choose another time to release their songs.
As a contracted singer from Yunhai Media, Su Xueyao, if she releases a song on the first day, would essentially get the company’s promotional resources, pushing her to compete on the charts.
But releasing the song on the fifth?
It’s like a drop of water falling into a vast ocean, it would be instantly submerged.
Not to mention that even with promotion resources, it wouldn’t make a difference.
Wang Mo chuckled, “Release the song, trust me.”
Su Xueyao swallowed her saliva, and didn’t pursue any further, and nodded, “Okay, I’ll go find Manager Qian.”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Mo looked at the audio of “Invisible Wings” on the computer with a calm expression.
When releasing such a song do we still need to be concerned about the timing?
Too ignorant!
…
Half an hour later, in the manager’s office of the Vocal Department.
Qian Lun took off his headphones and nodded, “The song seems good to me, with some potential. But are you sure you want to release the song now?”
Su Xueyao replied, “Yes.”
Qian Lun said, “You have to think it over. If you release the song now, the company won’t provide you with any promotional resources because it’s purely a waste. This way, you won’t be able to compete on the song charts. My suggestion is to release it in October.”
While speaking, he felt somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect Wang Mo to write another seemingly good song so quickly just after completing “It Doesn’t Matter.” It seems this kid has some talent in composition.
Of course, it’s just some talent. Even if this song is released in October, he didn’t think it could break into the top ten of the charts.
Top ten!
The difficulty level is too high.
In addition to absolute strength, it also requires a huge amount of funding for promotion.
Even luck plays a certain role.
Just like this September, the 15 singers from Yunhai Media who released songs once again all failed.
Fortunately, in August, Hao Mingxing secured the first place on the New Song Chart. Otherwise, Qian Lun would probably have been taken away by the higher-ups for a reprimand.
Su Xueyao said, “I still insist on releasing it now.”
Qian Lun frowned, “Xueyao, I don’t know why you insist on releasing the song in September. But you need to know that in the past year, you’ve released two new songs, all of which failed to make it on the charts. Originally, it was very difficult for you to get a song and release it. It was Wang Mo’s insistence on giving you the song that gave you a third chance to release a song. If you don’t cherish this opportunity, your chances of debuting a song in the future are estimated to be slim because the company will never waste resources on you again.
Moreover, there is another crucial factor: because you have released songs before, you are no longer considered a newcomer. You lose the qualification to compete on the Newcomer Chart. You can only compete with the various big names on the New Song Chart. The New Song Chart is where the real fierce competition happens, more than ten times more intense than the Newcomer Chart. I am sure that even if your song is good, releasing it now will result in barely any recognition.
Waste of time.
Waste of energy.
Waste of resources.”
Qian Lun emphasized the word “waste” three times, with a very serious tone.
Su Xueyao remained silent.
Qian Lun rubbed his temples.
“What’s going on with Wang Mo? Did he give some mysterious potion to my two singers, making them follow his every word? Well, I’ve advised as much as I could. You’ll have to take care of yourself.”
Qian Lun shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and signaled Su Xueyao to leave.
…
In the afternoon at 3 o’clock.
In the Composition Department, when Wang Mo was lying in the chair daydreaming.
Ding~~~
The system’s voice sounded in his mind:
[Congratulations, host, for successfully releasing the song “Invisible Wings,” triggering a new mission.]
[Mission: Get “Invisible Wings” into the top three of the New Song Chart in September and earn over 100,000 reputation points with it. Completing the mission will reward you with two Bronze Treasure Chests.]
The abrupt voice startled Wang Mo.
“The song has been released?”
He nodded inwardly.
The efficiency of the company is indeed fast!
Then.
He looked at the system’s mission, and his brows slightly furrowed. “Entering the top three of the New Song Chart should not be a problem. But earning over 100,000 reputation points? Isn’t that a bit too difficult?”
He roughly calculated that the reputation points he gained from “It Doesn’t Matter” in the entire August were around 20,000.
The main issue is that composers on Blue Star are not very prominent. Except for some people, 99% of fans listening to songs won’t pay attention to who the lyricist and composer are. Even if they occasionally glimpse at the names, they won’t care.
As a result, although “It Doesn’t Matter” boldly claimed the first place on the Newcomer Chart, it only brought him about 20,000 reputation points.
So, for “Invisible Wings” to earn 100,000 reputation points seems like an extremely challenging task for Wang Mo.
Unless… he makes people notice the name “Wang Mo” as the composer.
