Gu Shaoyun's first piano piece was " Rain Realm." Ever since it was released, he had not paid much attention to it. He did not expect it to cause such a huge commotion. It was praised as " the most beautiful piano piece in China." Of course, it was mostly the young people who liked it.
The main theme of this song was very clear. It was a refreshing style.
Gu Shaoyun flipped through the music reviews. Without exception, they were all surprisingly positive.
"What a good healing rain. My state of mind has calmed down in an instant!”
"I love listening to this song to sleep!”
"This song is my favorite. Every time he listened to it, it was as if he was breathing in the air that had been purified in the rain, sweeping away the dust that had accumulated in his heart. It was quiet and beautiful with a hint of sadness, but it also brought back memories. This was all the music that could move people's hearts.”
"On rainy days, I often pray like this: Hopefully, the tears in the world would not fall like the rain in the sky. Hopefully, the rain in the sky would not fall as dirty as the tears in the human world. I hope everyone can have an umbrella to withstand the storms of life. The sky will clear up after the rain!"
"In my world, it's raining. This is the most beautiful love!”
“……”
These comments were a little suspicious, but the professional editor was very fair."This song shows a fusion of Eastern lyricism and Western elegance. It was unique in the music industry today. Do you have time to meet? We can work together further. Music Editor: Title Page
Other than that, the most popular request was for him to record a clear version. Gu Shaoyun also decided to meet the editor. After the appointment, they met up at an elegant cafe.
At Xingyu Music Cafe, Gu Shaoyun spotted a person with an extraordinary temperament among the crowd.
"Hello, I'm the title page editor of Star Sky Music Network!”The person who came was very elegant. He did not look old, only in his early twenties.
"Hello, Gu Shaoyun!" Gu Shaoyun smiled.”
"Yun is also an online name!" The title page smiled and said,"We're called stage names!"”
"Haha, that's true!" Gu Shaoyun smiled.
"I didn't expect you to be so young," the title page said in surprise. A university student? At that music academy?"
"I'm not from a music academy. The piano is also a self-taught hobby.”Gu Shaoyun explained.
"So that's how it is!" The title page exclaimed,"There's a piano here. Mind playing it?" I also want to see your zither skills! I hope you don't mind, but you're too young.”
"I understand!" Gu Shaoyun knew that this person did not believe that he could write a song like Rain Realm. He did not refuse and tested the music. This was a music cafe and its main focus was romance.
As the notes jumped, the atmosphere in the cafe became romantic. The drizzle was like silk, obscuring the longing. This Rain Realm perfectly portrayed the romance in it.
"Whoosh!" After the song, there was a very enthusiastic applause. Many customers cast curious gazes. When they saw the elegant young man, the applause became even more enthusiastic.
Gu Shaoyun elegantly got off the stage. A moment later, the waiter came over."Sir, thank you very much for your performance. To express our gratitude, our boss will give you a free meal today. Starry Music Cafe welcomes you anytime!”
"Help me thank your boss!"
The title page smiled." Don't be surprised. This is a gathering place for musicians." The boss is very familiar with us. Occasionally, if someone wants to play a song, it's fine. It's just that it's rare to see an expert of your level here.”
"Where!" Gu Shaoyun took a sip of coffee at a moderate pace." How was your performance?”
The title page was certain that this person was the original author: "Unbelievable, you're definitely a performer. Why haven't you participated in any competitions before?”
Gu Shaoyun smiled and said," I've suddenly been enlightened. I didn't understand it when I was learning the piano before!”
In fact, any instrument was not difficult for him. As long as he understood the principle of pronunciation, remembered how to make music, and had a strong charm to express it, the most complicated and difficult level was already completed. As for the other techniques, he just needed to familiarize himself with them.
"Haha!" The title page smiled." That's true. Many people spend their entire lives learning in vain. It's better to be inspired in a moment and suddenly be enlightened. Your song has the potential to become a world-famous song, but judging from the current situation, it's not well-known enough.”
" Initially, I only prepared an authorization contract, but after seeing you, I felt that you could participate in some competitions. If you could win an award, your evaluation would be higher…"
Gu Shaoyun shook his head.”
He knew his piano skills very well. He had no technique at all. There was a saying that if the music was high and low, the emotions could resonate with people. However, when it came to those piano competitions, the flaunting of skills, fingering, and techniques could not be compared to those who had practiced their basic skills for more than ten years. Gu Shaoyun knew his own capabilities, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself.
The title page smiled." I know that freelance pianists like you don't care much about fame and fortune. He understood! However, no matter how great a pianist was, he still had to eat. This was just a suggestion. Of course, today was not about that. Instead, we're talking about our cooperation. Take a look at the contract."
"Agent?" Gu Shaoyun read the contract carefully and said,""Buy it out?"
"It's not a outright purchase. It's considered contracting!" The title page smiled." Our Star Sky Music Network can be the number one in China. It's naturally not an ordinary music platform that's world-famous. It's as simple as business. This was a special treatment for pianists.”
"It basically means that you will sign a contract with us. We'll help you manage the song "Rain Realm". The copyright is still in your hands, but we can help you distribute it to those people to earn some profit. It's equivalent to hanging on our platform and helping you promote it. We'll take 15% as operating expenses and our management fees. The rest is yours."
"There's such a cooperation model?" Gu Shaoyun asked in surprise.”
"Yes!" The title page smiled." I don't think you know much about the piano industry. For example, if I want to hold a concert and need to use this piece, it would be troublesome to find you in a sea of people. Usually, they would contact our website and obtain authorization through the website. In the beginning, we also had the act of buying out, but in the end, it led to a lot of conflicts. Later, the boss changed the model and no longer bought out. After all, to be honest, there are still some differences between piano music and pop music. Our ability to earn money might not be that strong. There was no lack of pianists who lived in poverty.”
Gu Shaoyun looked at it carefully and didn't find any major problems.""Then what do I need to do now?"
"Go to our recording studio and work together to make a complete song. Your version is too rough. In addition, you need to complete the arrangement and the process of your composition to perfect the cause and effect of this song. It would be even better if you were willing to disclose your personal information. To be able to write such a piece at your age, you can be called a piano genius!”The title page laughed. Obviously, Gu Shaoyun's age was the best publicity stunt.
"No, there's no need!" "I'd better not reveal it," Gu Shaoyun said with a smile."Also, it's best not to appear on camera.”
He had enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars in school, but he did not like this feeling. It was better to keep a low profile.
"No problem. We've worked with pianists who like to keep a low profile before!”The title page smiled." Because you think highly of this song, you will receive a signing fee. Our standard is 10,000 yuan. Of course, it might not be too much. However, after this song is released, we will pay for it every season. Among them, pop music platforms were the biggest, such as Listen, Dazzle Music, and Feixun Music Platform. The most important thing was to ensure that you were the creator and the copyright was in your hands.”
"There's no doubt about that!" Gu Shaoyun signed the contract confidently and received another ten thousand yuan in cash. In this way, his net worth was 70,000 yuan.
They specially took a day off to record the song. They moved very quickly. In just a day, the song "Rain Realm" was released on the second day. Compared to the previous rough version, this one was truly beautiful. Coupled with the continuous publicity and performances by other celebrities, his Rain Mirror quickly became a popular piano piece that spread all over the country. Some people even compared it to a famous song like the wedding in a dream.
The unique oriental charm was very rare. This also caused it to become popular in China and then spread to the whole world.
