Chapter 244 Is this something a human can do?
After Wu Mu returned to Beijing, he rested for two days and then started recording the album in a professional recording studio that the studio had contacted for him.
This recording studio is also in Kaiyang District, not very far from the company.
So every day, in addition to Shi Wu, Shu Mei and others would come to join in the fun and listen to the music in the name of reporting work.
Regarding Wu Mu’s ability, Shi Wu had to say that, apart from being a bit too personable, this boss’s professional level is indeed very high.
When ordinary singers make an album, they usually hire a music director to plan the topic selection, song collection, arrangement, determine the style, etc. This usually requires repeated communication and experiments with a large number of songwriters and arrangers.
Ke Wumu took care of it all by himself.
It was as if he already had complete and detailed ideas in his mind. When he spoke, he had very precise needs and was incredibly efficient.
During the recording, the state was rarely bad and the progress was very fast.
“Boss, Penguin Music is about to start pre-album promotion and reservations. They asked us to prepare a batch of promotional materials and send them to them, as well as the album cover. Boss, what style do you want to use?”
Shi Wu took advantage of Wu Mu's break in recording and asked.
The album cover is also very important. It is probably like the cover of a novel. It can give people a rough impression at first glance.
First determine the general style, so he can contact the relevant photographer or painter.
"Well, for promotional materials, you can just contact someone to take them. As for the album cover"
Wu Mu hesitated.
"I already have an idea for this. I'll give it to you in a few days."
A few days later, after Wu Mu returned to his hometown of Nangang City, Shi Wu and the others saw his cover idea.
It is a photo that seems to have been scanned and intercepted.
The photo showed a little boy tilting his head and leaning on the lap of a beautiful woman with gentle eyebrows and a sweet smile.
Shu Mei, who was on the side, immediately saw something in the little boy's eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Boss, is this when you were a child?"
"Yeah." Wu Mu nodded.
"Boss, you were so cute when you were a kid!" Shu Mei wanted to take out her phone immediately, take a photo of this and keep it.
"It's okay."
After admiring her boss's cute little appearance with bright eyes, Shu Mei looked hesitantly at the beautiful woman the little boy was leaning against. "Boss, is this your mother?"
Unfortunately, many people on the Internet have long speculated about Wumu's family. After all, whether it is from the songs he sang or the fact that he has never appeared on any program When it comes to things in my own family, I can feel it to some extent.
As employees of the company who are closer to Wumu, Shu Mei and the others feel even more deeply.
Ordinary artists will receive more or less calls or messages from their parents or relatives at home.
But their boss never did.
Except for people in his circle, he seemed to have never had any previous relatives or friends, and his previous life was like a blank.
My brother is probably an orphan, and he probably wasn’t very happy when he was a child, so he cut off all contacts in the past.
Shu Mei thought to herself, thinking that the happy and sunny boss might not have had a good life when he was a child, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
At the same time, I am even more impressed that the boss who grew up in that kind of environment can actually grow into the character he has now.
If it hadn’t been for her private contact, she knew that her boss was very passionate about life in private, happy and leisurely.
She also couldn't help but wonder if her boss was suffering from depression.
“Yeah.”
Wu Mu nodded and didn't talk much about it. He just continued: "My photo will be used for the album cover, but it will be mainly about myself. My mother's appearance will be blurred and a silhouette will be fine."
If the theme is "He Disappeared", then which cover is more representative and memorable than this photo.
In my previous life, it can be said that I have always stayed in this photo, trapped in that time.
Shi Wu nodded and was smart enough not to ask any more questions, "I'll find someone to handle it." The production of Wu Mu's new album was progressing in an orderly manner.
But the outside world gradually felt that something was not quite right.
“Hey, there’s no appointment with Wu Mu at Pioneer Music?” Cai Wanhai, who is about to release a new album, asked his manager strangely.
His manager didn't understand either, "No, not only Pioneer Music is missing, but also the Sound of Music and Entertainment News we contacted are missing."
Album Preliminary publicity is very complicated and cumbersome. Not only do you have to build momentum on social platforms, but you also have to contact major music magazines, radio media, etc. to conduct interviews in order to push the news of the new album to every audience who may buy it. .
So when he knew that Wu Mu’s album would be released at this time, Cai Wanhai was undoubtedly very nervous.
Wumu's album will definitely attract a lot of people to buy it, not to mention various promotional resources. He is very self-aware, and people would definitely prefer to invite Wumu to him than to him.
So he originally thought that he would not be able to get these publicity resources.
But who would have thought that Wu Mu would have no contact at all?
It’s not even just no contact.
“I asked an editor I know from Pioneer Music, and he told me that they actually approached Wumu and wanted to schedule an interview, but Wumu didn’t accept it.” His manager The man continued.
ah?
Didn’t you accept the proactive contact?
What's going on?
There are many readers of Pioneer Music Magazine, and they are also potential buyers who pay attention to various albums on a daily basis and like to buy albums.
Wumu didn’t even bother to do this?
"In addition to these media promotion resources, there are also related account marketing companies on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. When I contacted them, they also revealed to me that no one in their circle had received Wumu's business order."
No.
What's going on here at Wumu?
It’s okay if we don’t do publicity in traditional media, but we don’t do publicity in new self-media either?
Cai Wanhai is completely confused.
Not only was he confused, but netizens online also found that something seemed wrong.
Some netizens who are looking forward to his new album discovered it every day.
Since the announcement of the new album plan and the news that music platforms are competing for copyright, has the popularity of Wu Mu’s new album died down?
When singers release albums, don’t they always strike while the iron is hot and use various news and information to maintain the popularity?
Not to mention maintaining the popularity, Ke Wumu has been promoted in various media.
It’s his own account, and he doesn’t even post news about the new album.
His account is still used every day, but the latest likes are likes for a message saying that the food in a restaurant in Beijing is unpalatable.
Reply below.
Wu Mu’s evolved body: “It tastes terrible!”
Huh?
No, let’s not talk about whether it is appropriate for a public figure to like and reply to something like this.
Brother, you are about to release a new album. If you don’t go around to promote it, do you still have time to go out for dinner?
You don’t just talk about it after you finish your meal, but you also go out of your way to search for negative reviews and likes from others?
This seems a bit too lax, right?
Everyone was speechless.
What left them even more speechless was what came next.
Someone broke the news and complained.
“An internal employee of a music platform came to complain, don’t wait for Wugou’s promotion, he doesn’t plan to do promotion at all. After our company bought the copyright of his album, we are also waiting for him to promote it. , but it turned out that there was no movement, so our platform director ran over to ask, and then I found out that he was planning to finish the album and upload it to our platform.”
? ? ?
Everyone looked at the insider’s revelations, and a row of question marks instantly rose in their minds.
When the album is ready, don’t promote it, just upload it and that’s it?
Is this something a normal person can do?
