Li Yu changed to a song that should be more relatable, "Oh, Please Accept This Rose of Love," and wrote down the lyrics for Che Haishen.
The latter quickly scanned through them and finally comnted, "The content is a bit... explicit. It might get censored if posted on the platform and could easily lead to reports."
"That era’s creations were just like that."
"I know, I can get soone to make it healthier. That’s not an issue," Che Haishen said. "Do you have any suggestions regarding the musical instrunts?"
"Layakin, lute, transverse flute, flute, and maybe add in so trumpet," Li Yu recalled the musicians at the banquet.
Che Haishen looked troubled. "I can find people who play the transverse flute and flute, and the trumpet is not a problem either, but the Layakin and lute are quite obscure. I’ll try to find soone who can play the harp instead."
"That’s fine. About the cost..."
"Would two thousand be okay?" Che Haishen asked. "We can use the school’s recording studio, so we won’t need to spend extra money. But for modifying the lyrics, creating the accompanint, singing, and mixing the master tape, we still need to pay a bit."
It was apparent that Che Haishen really wanted to make these sowhat quirky songs happen, so his quote was already very low, sothing that would be practically impossible to achieve outside.
Therefore, Li Yu didn’t haggle. Although he had nearly used up his budget for the month, there was still so left from the previous renovations. Li Yu planned to take out ten thousand yuan to start with five songs and see how it went.
If the response was good and he could make so money, even if it didn’t cover all expenses, as long as there was a future in it, he could continue.
Otherwise, if it didn’t even make a splash, then that would be that. It just wouldn’t be suitable.
After a mont, Li Yu added, "Include the rights to credit the creators too; I can’t let you and your classmates suffer a loss."
"That would be great," Che Haishen responded joyfully. He actually hoped to gain so fa through these tracks—not necessarily becoming a star, but at least to enhance his resu when looking for jobs in the future.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to lower his quote and was just about to bring up the matter when Li Yu had already agreed to it in advance.
Li Yu then asked Che Haishen, "Do you think people will listen to these songs?"
Che Haishen scratched his head. "Well, I can’t really say. Pop songs are easy to write but because the threshold is so low, there are extra many people writing and singing them. It’s not easy to stand out.
"However, our songs are quite unique, from the thes and arrangents to the lyrics and the instrunts used—all different from other pop songs. Also, the dieval the is quite interesting, which is why I wanted to try."
"But as for the market’s reaction, I can’t predict that either. Otherwise, I would have already started writing pop songs to make money."
"Hmm," Li Yu wasn’t too surprised by Che Haishen’s response.
In the Internet era, many things beco famous for no apparent reason, and cool down just as inexplicably. A mundane video from ten years ago might get dug up, reworked, and suddenly beco a wildly viral across the internet.
Just one edited TV interview can instantly make soone a household na online.
Li Yu also didn’t know how these songs from Bulati would be received on Earth, but he was willing to bear the cost of ten thousand yuan for this experint.
Besides the music, Lu Weijia also suggested that Li Yu make so short videos.
After all, short videos are currently booming, and the content could still revolve around the dieval the.
Speaking of this, Lu Weijia was no longer sleepy, chattering nonstop on the other end of the radio.
"I think we can perfectly combine dieval and montage elents in these videos. No one has ever made videos like this before; it would be an untouched blue ocean."
Li Yu said, "Leaving montage aside, what do you plan to do with the dieval the?"
"Everything is possible," Lu Weijia excitedly said. "Ever since I ca here, I’ve been bursting with inspiration. Damn, this place is full of great material. I never knew that even choosing what to use for wiping one’s ass could be so intriguing.
"I’ve tested many materials, from leaves to twigs, bark, and even stones, straw, hemp rope... Each gives a different feeling to the ass. I heard that here nobles use salmon at to wipe their asses, and I’m really curious what that’s like.
"I think these would certainly appeal to those curiosity-seekers on B-site.
"Oh, and there’s my previous suggestion: we could also start a food segnt, basically replicating the food here. Of course, so, being protected species, would be excluded. Then randomly picking a few unlucky ones to try these dark cuisines could also turn out well.
"And swordsmanship," Niu Xiangui also interjected. "There’s a referee at the Judgent Court called Gerard. Although he only has nine fingers, his swordsmanship is amazing.
"And his sword skills are not just for show; they’re real killing techniques. Modern people definitely haven’t seen such manly swordsmanship."
Gu Qian also said, "I think the clothing here is quite distinctive, and so are pretty nice too. Copying so styles to start a rch store to sell clothes might not be a bad idea. Even if they aren’t practical for everyday wear on the streets, they can still be used for cosplay.
"Also, we could do so wilderness survival videos. Didn’t a few foreigners’ wilderness survival shows get popular so ti ago? I think those lizard people are even more formidable. They and their ancestors have lived in the marshes for hundreds of years, just like their backyard now."
At that mont, Lu Weijia rembered sothing else and started ranting, "My old account still has a hundred thousand followers, which I painstakingly gathered. Is there any way to make use of it again?"
Li Yu didn’t take long to dismiss his suggestion, "Everyone already knows you’re dead. Posting videos would be too impactful, and I saw a couple of days ago your account has beco a morial account, so it’s no longer possible to post videos."
"Then let those guys in the QQ group do so real work," Lu Weijia said. "They’ve been freeloading off for so many years without even contributing a single coin. It’s ti they returned the favor and helped us promote the new account!"
Li Yu thought about it and felt this could work. He was considering where the initial traffic would co from since the toughest part with a new account is getting started, from zero to one.
Even the first video of Swimming Holessly in China only got a few hundred views, but if even half of those two thousand group mbers Lu Weijia left behind could be mobilized, they could gather a few thousand views, complented by thousands of comnts and likes.
With the help of the website’s algorithms, this could lead to more recomnded spots and exposure, thus accelerating follower growth.
Most importantly, this thod was free. At most, a few red packets could be given out in the group afterwards.
