Chapter 259: Chapter 240 Weibo Hot Discussion (4k)

Under such a buzz, how could they not garner some attention by immediately having those platforms purchase the drama?

Yang Rongfa, sensing a golden opportunity, immediately asked, "President Wu, when will your album be finished?"

When would it be finished?

Wu Mu thought for a moment.

He planned to include about ten songs in the new album.

Shu Mei had suggested "Heavenly Queen," "Under the Sea," and "Numb" to be included.

Besides these three, he planned to add "I Remember."

When he sang "I Remember" previously, the emotions he used were mainly from the memories of his previous life’s mother, but in fact, the song was also very fitting for his mother in this life. All he needed to do was to sing it again with the memories of this life during the album recording.

This song would also match the feelings he expressed in "Under the Sea," and "Numb" could correspond with "Heavenly Queen," making the theme even more unified.

Then there was the theme song required for the drama, and there were relatively good reasons to integrate the themes.

For example, "I Have Nothing" expressed his mental confusion and loneliness, "look back" was a reflection on the past from his current perspective, and "Goodbye" was a sort of farewell to the past.

It’s just that "So Many People in the World" and "Kill That Person from Shijia Zhuang" didn’t seem to have a mental connection at the moment.

"So Many People in the World" would be used in the drama when he previously stood up for Lin Mo at the nightclub and then Lin Mo applied medicine to him as they both listened to someone playing the song outside.

As for "Kill That Person from Shijia Zhuang," it was to be the background music for the part of the drama where the protagonist Wang An was to be laid off during the big layoff at the factory, which tied in very well.

But these two songs didn’t quite align with his previous works, and he would have to think of a similar pretext for them later.

Anyway, with these, there were already nine songs selected, just one short. The "every word and every sentence" he drew a few days ago could be squeezed in.

However, after thinking it over, he felt that its theme was somewhat repetitive with "Heavenly Queen," so he decided not to include it and instead would draw another suitable song later.

But this wouldn’t take much effort.

So Wu Mu simply said, "The songs have been almost all selected, we just need to record them. It should be done in about a month or two."

A month or two?

Yang Rongfa was slightly surprised. So soon?

But thinking about Wu Mu’s songwriting efficiency, it didn’t seem all that surprising after all.

"We’d better sync the official release date of the album with the near-completion of our drama production. That way, once your album garners attention, President Wu, and platforms start approaching us, we’ll have a finished product ready," he suggested.

"Fine."

Wu Mu nodded, not wanting to bother with these details, "I’ll have my company’s people come over, you all can discuss and set a specific time."

That’s what his studio people were there for, after all.

Shi Wu arrived quickly, reaching Chun City on the evening he received the call.

Then, he worked efficiently with Yang Rongfa and they firmed up a rough timeframe.

During dinner, the hustling Shi Wu reported to Wu Mu, "Boss, we’ve decided to set the official online release time for early November."

"We only have one and a half months left, which is quite tight. We need to start the promotional work right away."

A proper album release wasn’t just about uploading the songs to the music platform; it needed to be promoted.

One and a half months was a bit tight for a singer of Wu Mu’s fame.

After sharing the results of his discussion with Yang Rongfa, Shi Wu continued, "Boss, you haven’t signed with a record company and don’t have one to help with the album promotion, so we need to find a professional PR company to handle this."

"I plan to contact Blue International first. They handled Wang Zixuan’s album release before and did a beautiful job. Let’s see their quote first. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll switch to Zhongtian Public Relations, which handled Yue Li’s album marketing case very successfully a few years ago."

Shi Wu detailed his thoughts and next steps of the work plan.

But...

"I don’t want to hire a PR firm," Wu Mu shook his head.

Right in the midst of discussing plans, Shi Wu was stunned. After confirming he hadn’t misheard his boss’s position, he rushed to persuade him:

"Boss, hiring a PR firm is necessary. We can’t skimp on this expense. Our studio has no experience with promotion."

"Many of the promotional channels are controlled by these professional PR companies. It’s not only cumbersome and costlier but also likely that we won’t be able to find the right contacts if we try to do it all ourselves."

Album promotion wasn’t something that anyone but professional record or PR firms knew the right channels, platforms, or how to effectively work with them.

Their little studio, with fewer than ten people, certainly didn’t have the capacity to manage such complex promotional work.

He thought that Wu Mu didn’t understand the intricacies involved.

However, after listening to his earnest plea, Wu Mu shook his head again.

"No promotion. Once the album recording is complete, we’ll contact the music platforms and upload it directly."

Huh?

What?

Shi Wu, who initially thought his boss simply didn’t understand the process, was utterly dumbfounded.

Releasing an album without promotion?

Was that something anyone would say?

If you don’t promote your album release, who will know you have a new album? How can you motivate the average listener to purchase it?
