In the year 2000, due to many reasons, online music in China was still in its infancy. At that time, the popular online song was the song " Northeasterners are all living Lei Feng " from Snow Village. Of course, there was also a song called " Catch the Thief ", but not many people had heard it before. This song was also quite interesting.
Sun Hao had seen this song on TV, not on the Internet. This meant that the Internet was not very developed at that time. Most importantly, there was no decent platform for releasing online music at that time. This made many musicians with good creative skills unable to find room for development and were buried instead.
Pang Long had actually started writing songs in 2000, but due to the lack of a good platform at that time, no one knew about him. It was only in 2005 that he announced to the world that he was an outstanding online singer with the song " Two Butterflies."
And after 2005, online songs were everywhere, such as " Mouse Loves Rice ", Hei Long's " Change of Heart ", etc. At that time, online singers could be said to be the most popular years. Many singers who were originally not famous became famous overnight and went from behind the scenes to the front.
Therefore, a good online platform not only provided great opportunities for singers, but it would also make a great contribution to the entire Chinese music industry. Don't underestimate such a music platform, because the rankings of a very popular music platform could completely determine people's understanding of pop music. Sun Hao wanted to create such a platform.
In Sun Hao's previous life, the music sites that were released later on, such as Baidu Music, 5sing Music, etc., were all very popular. The daily viewership value would reach tens of millions, completely determining the direction of pop music. However, in this era, these websites had yet to show their talents, so Sun Hao wanted to put in some effort in this field that had not been monopolized by others.
As a computer science major, Sun Hao could be said to be very familiar with making websites. It was relatively easy to do. Although Sun Hao was not particularly proficient in some complex language codes and could not reach the level of senior engineers in network companies, he could still do it to make a website like the one in QQ Music. However, it would take more time to do the entire portal website alone. Unlike those large-scale websites and stabbed to death, which had their own engineering team, Sun Hao thought of using a holiday to create, process, and improve. Although this was slower, everyone understood the principle of slow work, meticulous work. Moreover, Sun Hao's personality had always been that if he didn't do it, he would do it perfectly.
First of all, in terms of tools, although the software used to create web pages in 2000 was relatively backward and not as simple as in Sun Hao's previous life, and many of the later ASP-based languages were not used, it was still a good thing. Otherwise, how could the existing websites be created? It was just that it was a little troublesome to use, but there was no other way. If Sun Hao wrote a few more software by himself, who knew how long it would take?
The second problem was the style of the website. In terms of style, Sun Hao wanted to make the entire homepage similar to the Feilu novel website in his previous life. It was divided into several categories and then added with some recommendations. Sun Hao felt that this style was more approachable.
In terms of classification, there were many different styles of music, so Sun Hao wanted to divide music into pop music, nostalgic music, classic music, film and television songs, and folk music and bands. In addition to foreign songs, he would temporarily divide it into these seven categories. If there were other songs in the future, he would add them. And each category was further divided into lyrics, rock, folk, guitar, classical, and so on. This made it very easy to find.
The second problem was the recommendation. Sun Hao planned to do the same thing as Qidian and make it a strong recommendation on the entire website. This recommendation would allow people to see it clearly on all the programs on the music platform. Then, there would be some recommendations that were categorized and focused on. Sun Hao believed that these recommendations would definitely become the places that people would pay attention to and fight for in the future.
After the recommendation, there was the problem of the website users. Sun Hao planned to set up a charging system in the future. Although Sun Hao had thought of this problem, although the pirated version of China was more prevalent, and later on, large and small websites would also be free, Sun Hao's website might not necessarily have people paying for it. However, it should be known that there were still relatively few music websites at this time. When Sun Hao made some music videos and other things, he would still have some consumers.
The last and most important thing was the problem of the song. This was because it involved copyright issues. Sun Hao was not famous yet, and no singer was willing to take the initiative to contact Sun Hao to put their songs on Sun Hao's website. Moreover, if Sun Hao rashly put their songs on Sun Hao's website, if those singers were unwilling, they would sue Sun Hao. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
But how can I make the website have more songs? Sun Hao was also quite worried. It seemed that he could only post the songs that Sun Hao had plagiarized on the website for the time being. With the accompaniment of the Haotian band, he believed that he could gather at least ten songs. Then, with the songs of some bands in City H, he could basically support his reputation. When the website became popular in the future, Sun Hao believed that there would naturally be singers who could find him.
Then there was the issue of advertising. Sun Hao knew that advertising on the website was the main source of income for some websites. The more clicks the website had, the more expensive the advertising fee would be. Although it had not yet been picked up, Sun Hao believed that there would be a few businesses willing to advertise on Sun Hao's website. After all, it was a means of publicity. Moreover, the Internet was getting more and more popular now, and more and more businesses knew the term Internet. At that time, there would definitely be people who would be willing to try this new way of publicity.
Now that he had considered all the problems, Sun Hao started to take action. So, early the next morning, Sun Hao went to Prince's Music Store to look for the fat boss.
"Hey, isn't this our guitar master? Why did you come to our small shop? Master, you came to guide us in our work. I'm really grateful.”The fat boss, who was sitting in the lobby of Prince's Music Store, saw Sun Hao coming in and said hurriedly. Just a few days ago, Sun Hao had helped the fat boss win a lot of popularity in the Guitar Competition. After knowing that Sun Hao on the stage had bought the piano from Prince's Music Store, the fat boss's business could be said to be getting better and better.
"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. I came to look for you this time for something.”Seeing the fat boss smiling at him, he couldn't bear the loss anymore, so he hurriedly said.
"Oh? What was it? Don't tell me you want to buy equipment again?" When he heard that Sun Hao was looking for him for something, the fat boss immediately thought that he had a big business deal. Every time Sun Hao looked for the fat boss and said that he had something to do, he would bring him a big business. So far, Sun Hao was still the fat boss's biggest customer. Of course, in City H, where music was not very popular, who could buy a hundred thousand yuan instrument at once?
"This time, it's not about business. I just want to ask if you know the contact information of Magnetic Field.”Sun Hao immediately asked when he saw the fat boss's eyes narrowing into slits. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep the money.
"Oh, I see. You came at the right time. The Magnetic Field band is practicing in my rehearsal room.”Hearing that there was no business, the fat boss was slightly disappointed, but he still told Sun Hao.
"What a coincidence?" Sun Hao asked in surprise.
It turned out that when Sun Hao promised Magnetic Field that he would teach them guitar, Wang Jinhua took it seriously. Then, he brought the members of Magnetic Field to Prince's Music Store. Since Magnetic Field was an old band in City H, the fat boss had to give him face. Therefore, Magnetic Field began to rehearse in Prince's Music Store from that day on, waiting for Sun Hao's arrival.
Sun Hao listened carefully. Sure enough, there was the sound of a guitar. So he went to the rehearsal room of Prince Music Store. He opened the door and walked in without knocking. Sun Hao knew that during rehearsal, they wouldn't be able to hear him even if he knocked on the door. There was no need to bother.
The people in the room were practicing hard. When they saw the door open, they were unhappy. However, when they saw Sun Hao, they stopped playing and looked at Sun Hao in surprise.
"Hi, guys. I'm here." Seeing their expressions, Sun Hao felt a little embarrassed. These people had been waiting here for so many days, and he had come to look for them because of something. Therefore, after entering the door, he first greeted them.
"Boss, you're finally here. You don't know how long we've been waiting. Come and play a song for us.”Upon seeing Sun Hao, Wang Jinhua hurriedly put down the zither in his hand and walked over, pulling Sun Hao into the crowd.
"This…Alright." Sun Hao knew that this was not the time to talk about the music website, so he picked up the piano, adjusted the effects, and played the rock song " Canon " for them.
Although their guqin was not as good as Sun Hao's, it was still passable. Therefore, after Sun Hao finished playing with superb techniques, the few of them were still surprised.
After Sun Hao taught him some techniques to make way for the electric guitar, he finally voiced out his idea.
"Boss, this is a good idea. Who wouldn't want such a free promotional opportunity? However, the problem of having to include original songs is a little troublesome. You also know that although bands like us have some original songs, we don't mass-produce them like you do. Each band probably only has a few songs.”After hearing Sun Hao's thoughts, Wang Jinhua expressed his opinion.
"I know that, but our website is newly established. It's precisely because of this that we should bring out original songs to attract others. Don't those singers also rely on their own songs to become famous? In the future, I can open up a section for cover songs, but now, we must only include original songs.”Wang Jinhua's words were not without reason. Sun Hao also understood that people nowadays were still more familiar with and liked songs. However, when it came to copyright issues, there was no other way. He could only wait until he became famous and those singers were willing to take the initiative to ask him to put their songs in.
"In that case, Boss, we fully support your idea. When we go back, we'll start writing crazily. With Boss as a platform and good publicity, we won't be afraid of becoming famous. I'll contact a few other bands later and get them to bring out their original songs and hand them all over to Boss to operate.”Right now, Wang Jinhua was completely in awe of Sun Hao. Although Sun Hao was so young, his musical attainments and knowledge of copyright far surpassed adults like them.
After settling the Magnetic Field band's song, Sun Hao was finally relieved. He returned home and began to work on the website. Although Sun Hao's parents didn't know what their son was doing, they were relieved when they saw that the thing on the computer was definitely not a game. They knew that their son was doing something serious. Moreover, Sun Hao got second place in the final exam, so Sun Hao's parents didn't care too much about Sun Hao and let their son do whatever he wanted.
After a week, Sun Hao's website finally took shape. All the big frames had been designed, and the various categories and recommendations had been done. All that was left was to put the songs in and the specific beautification.
Sun Hao wanted to put in all the plagiarized songs from last semester to see the effect. In addition to the more than 20 songs provided by Magnetic Field and the other bands, they could temporarily hold up the front. Therefore, Sun Hao went to find Song Chunfeng, Lu Yifei, and the others.
During this period, Lu Yifei and Liu Zhongda basically hung around Sun Hao's Internet Cafe every day. As they were only in Grade Seven, their parents weren't strict with them, so they had a lot of free time. Moreover, they didn't have anywhere to go at this time. Moreover, Sun Hao's Internet Cafe was such a good resource, so how could they not make use of it? Therefore, these two guys didn't have any free time at all. They went to the Haotian Internet Club every day to report.
"Boss, no way! She had to rehearse again. She had just rested for a few days. Couldn't she let her play for a few more days?”After Lu Yifei heard Sun Hao's words, he complained as he used his Black Hawk on the screen to destroy Liu Zhongda's Phantom Tank.
"Because we have to upload it to the website, we can only use recording equipment to upload the songs to the website. It's not just us, but the bands from Magnetic Field also have to upload them, so we have to hurry. After all the songs are done, our website can be opened.”Sun Hao also knew that children of this age also liked to play. He remembered that in his previous life, when he was in junior high school, he often went to the Internet cafe with Lu Yifei to play. However, he had no choice now. Time was tight.
"Alright, you heard what Hao said. Stop playing around and go back to work.”Ever since the Internet cafe incident, Song Chunfeng had been completely obedient to Sun Hao. He was now 100% in support of Sun Hao, so when he heard that Sun Hao wanted to record songs and set up a music website, he quickly mobilized everyone.
Although he wanted to play for a while longer, Lu Yifei didn't dare to refute Song Chunfeng's words. He could only drag Liu Zhongda to Sun Hao's house.
In the following week, the four of them began to concentrate on recording the song. During this time, Ni Ying, who was an excellent logistics staff member, naturally took care of them. Even though they were also cooperating with rehearsals, recording a song was completely different from rehearsals. Rehearsals were all about coordination, but recording a song was all about pursuing perfection. If anyone made a mistake in a song, they would have to re-record it in order not to affect the effect of the song. In addition, they would have to do post-production and processing. On average, they could only record one or two songs a day.
On the eighth day, all the songs were recorded perfectly. Although they had worked very hard in these eight days, they felt very gratified after hearing the beautiful sound coming from slightly. When Sun Hao uploaded the last song to the website, they all sighed heavily.
At the same time, Magnetic Field didn't disappoint Sun Hao. Ten bands of different sizes in City H also handed Sun Hao 30 songs the next day. This time, Sun Hao's Haotian band was the first. As the strongest band in City H, the other bands had to give face. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to promote themselves, so everyone was very enthusiastic. After the fat boss found out about this incident, he took the initiative to provide a rehearsal room and took out the best recording equipment so that the bands could record their original songs in the rehearsal room.
When Sun Hao uploaded all the songs onto the website, and the beautified website looked ready for users, it was almost the Lunar New Year.
In the Lunar New Year of 1999, just as the new millennium was about to begin, Sun Hao's " Haotian Music Network " finally went on public testing amidst the sound of firecrackers.
