Crazy Entertainment System

This is also to ensure the quality of the paid market. Online listening is free, but major music platforms require a fee of 5 cents for each listen.

One is to generate more revenue for singers, and the other is that there's no such thing as a free lunch; the online streaming service operator also makes money.

As for music platforms manipulating listening or download numbers, that's simply impossible. National regulatory authorities conduct random checks, and if discovered, the fine will be ten times the revenue.

In addition, the person in charge will compensate the victim three times the amount involved, and will also be subject to criminal penalties.

At first, some platforms didn't believe it, but when they were investigated, they were directly detained and fined into bankruptcy.

The lightest sentence was five years in prison, and it was the kind of sentence that couldn't be reduced.

Faced with these bloody facts, many platform executives dare not even flinch, because not only the legal representative but also the shareholder will be punished. Although there will be no criminal penalties, your investments will be restricted.

Of course, all of this was forced out with blood. The improvement of the law is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather it is the result of time and bloody facts gradually mixing together to form a special kind of soil, which then builds the walls of the law.

"As for recording, I do know a senior who opened a recording studio after graduation. We usually record with him because he charges very little, about half the price of what's available on the market."

Of course, the school also gave him some preferential treatment and would give him any work he could find, which was a way of helping the students.

"The studio is just a few hundred meters from our school. Do you want to go?" Wang Yali said after thinking for a moment.

“Yes, but it’s best to make an appointment in advance. After all, it wouldn’t be good if they didn’t have time when we came to their place!” Chen Yu nodded and said.

“Okay, I’ll go back and ask Meixue for her contact information. She went there once and has her contact information,” Wang Yali nodded and said.

The next afternoon, Chen Yu and Wang Yali went to their classmate's recording studio. Wang Yali had contacted them after returning home the day before.

Recording a song with accompaniment costs only 500 yuan and takes an hour and a half.

If you still can't record well after an hour and a half, you have two options: one is to go back and prepare and try again, and the other is to readjust your mindset and pay 50 yuan for 3 takes.

Of course, the equipment is only average; a complete set of equipment would probably cost around one million.

"Senior Liu Ke, this is Wang Yali. We made an appointment with you yesterday, and we're here to record now." The person who opened the door was a man wearing floral shorts, who looked to be around 27 or 8 years old and was somewhat slovenly.

"Oh, I know, it's Wang Yali and Chen Yu, right? Come in quickly, just wait a moment, there's another classmate who will need about 20 minutes," Liu Ke said with a smile.

"It's alright, we're not in a hurry!" Wang Yali said with a smile.

"Same as always, come pick up the tape the day after tomorrow!" A dozen minutes later, a man with a mushroom haircut came out; he looked to be a junior in college.

"Yes, I know Liu Ke, thank you!"

"fine!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's begin. Did you bring the accompaniment?" Liu Ke said with a smile as she approached Chen Yu after seeing off the mushroom-headed man.

"Yes, I brought it. There are four songs in total!" Chen Yu took a USB drive out of his pocket and handed it to Liu Ke.

"Four songs, okay. Do you plan to do it in three hours or fifty-three times?!" Liu Ke asked.

"Three hours, I guess!" Chen Yu said.

He's not short of money now, he only needs this five hundred yuan.

The 600,000 yuan prize he ultimately received from the CCTV Young Singers Competition was enough for him to live comfortably for a while. However, he secretly sent 3,000 yuan home, not daring to send more, for fear of worrying his parents. 3,000 yuan was enough to live comfortably back home for two months.

Besides, rural families don't spend much money anyway.

Chen Yu's reason for sending the money was that he had found a part-time job here, and that he could earn four or five thousand yuan a month by performing at a bar near the school.

Although his parents were very worried, they still believed him when Chen Yu and Xiao You fabricated evidence together.

As for the prize money from the CCTV Young Singers Competition, Chen Yu felt that if he told his mother, she would immediately ask him to keep the money safe, saying, "How can we feel at ease with a child like you taking so much money? I'll save it for you to use when you get married in the future."

Although 600,000 yuan is not a lot, it is still quite practical for Chen Yu at present. More importantly, Chen Yu is worried that giving his family too much money at once will disrupt their peaceful life.

He didn't want his parents' peaceful life, which they had been accustomed to for decades, to be disrupted because of him.

"Well."

Around six o'clock, Chen Yu finally came out of the recording studio.

"Are you really a freshman?!" Liu Ke was completely stunned after helping Chen Yu record four songs. This was simply too unbelievable. In a brief conversation, he knew that Chen Yu was a freshman, but his singing skills and songwriting level were not what a freshman should have.

"I really am a freshman, no doubt about it. I've only been in class for a month. Here's my student ID. Can you give me a discount, senior?!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Wow, forget discounts, I'll give it to you for free! But from now on, your songs have to be tagged as 'recorded by my studio,' how about that?!" Liu Ke immediately saw a great promotional opportunity. He knew that at least three of these four songs would become hits. This was a living advertisement.

They seized the opportunity that could bring them a lot of business.

"Hey senior, your advertising fee is way too cheap! But seriously, isn't your business already doing really well? Even with more customers, can you handle it all?" Chen Yu chuckled, having just glanced at Liu Ke's schedule. It was packed.

"Haha, you're right. This number of customers is just right for me. Any more and I'd be exhausted. But seriously, you're the most promising freshman I've ever met. As your senior, consider this recording a gift to mark our meeting."

"I hope that when you become a big star in the future, you won't forget that there's a senior like you in this little corner who's not doing so well," Liu Ke said with a smile.

"What are you saying? But senior, what's your major? You're not doing this kind of work, are you?!" Chen Yu asked curiously.

"You figured it out. I used to study vocal music. I'm not afraid you'll look down on me, but I got scammed because of a woman. I was heartbroken and switched to being a recording engineer. I saved up all my savings, borrowed some money, and set up this studio. I've been living comfortably these past few years." Liu Ke smiled bitterly, recalling the past with a heavy heart.
