"Be a lifetime, happy for a few days, a road is divided into two sides, whichever side you want to go. I’m not afraid if I’m not afraid. I’m a born child. It’s raining hard and the sun is shining. I just dare to work hard. "
Nostalgic songs in Minnan, sweet and clear voice, collided with a strong spark. Some fans wrote in the comments: "It’s so nice and comfortable, in a single loop." Its cover version in Minnan and the cover version in Mandarin both won 80W+ praise in Tik Tok, which indicated that this song "Born after Datian" was thoroughly sung by this sweet girl with a round face of 23 years old named Wang Yumeng. After that, "симпа" was praised by 309W, which made Wang Yumeng further out of the circle.
In the era of short video, the Internet has changed the path of traditional musicians, making this new Z-generation singer rise inexorably within half a year.How was this popular singer musician born? What kind of changes does the music industry reflect behind it?
Wang Yumeng’ s fans of the Royal Sister’ s heart Loli’ s voice broke through 10 million.How did you do that?
"Beautiful people and sweet songs" and "talented women" are part of Wang Yumeng’s labels, but they are far from the whole charm.
She hasThe soft and cute appearance of the neighbor with affinity and the recognizable voice are good at controlling the extremely different styles such as sadness, lyricism, cheerfulness and even opera cavity, and can sing eight languages such as Minnan, Russian and Cantonese.His masterpieces include The Return of the Prodigal Son, Born after Daejeon, симпа, Huo Yuanjia and so on. In addition, she can write her own lyrics and compose music. This Shandong girl, born in 1998, has become the hottest singer in online celebrity with many explosive cover songs.
Although she became famous at a young age, Wang Yumeng always maintained the habit of live interaction and comment interaction with fans. She and her fans called each other "idiots" and also drew lottery interactions, often expressing her gratitude to them.
Besides Wang Yumeng’s singing voice, there is also her who surprises the industry.It’s like sitting on a rocket.According to statistics, Wang Yumeng gained 2 million fans in 12 days, and the number of fans rose from more than 1 million to 6 million in a few months, and rose to 10 million in half a year. His influence soared rapidly and he won several hot searches in Tik Tok stations.
Singing and cuteness alone are obviously not enough to explain such achievements.The soaring fans of Wang Yumeng have something to do with the operation of Tik Tok Platform.Statistics show that 74% of Wang Yumeng’s fans are men, mostly 18-23 years old, who are concentrated in new first-tier cities. The above characteristics of fan portraits mean that they are not easy to appreciate online celebrity idols whose faces are vague, but are more likely to be attracted by individuals with distinctive personalities, which can be summarized as "starting with their looks, being loyal to their talents and being trapped in their personalities".
Tik Tok is aware of this,Combining with Wang Yumeng’s own honest and frank personality, this paper creates a set of "the contrast of the sound of Royal Sister’s heart and Lori" to strengthen its memory, recognition and love."Wang Yumeng responds to the voice query", "Wang Yumeng is so cute" and "How suitable Wang Yumeng is for Children’s Day" and other related hot searches are all centered on personal characteristics such as straightforwardness, cuteness and voice characteristics, which enhances individuality and realism. For example, in the live broadcast, "Why do you sing with your voice?" She responded, "If you don’t like listening, you can go out, and if you don’t like listening, you can row away."
Based on the perfect "short video+live broadcast" ecology, the platform consciously strengthens the linkage between talents and expands the horizontal "extension" and vertical "retention" of Wang Yumeng’s related content.For example, the live broadcast linked with Daren’s cute fart brought a hot search topic "How naive is cute fart Wang Yumeng". In addition, many accounts produced UGC content about her, which promoted the coverage of its influence to be constantly broken;
In addition, the platform always emphasizes unity in style, scene and operation.Pay attention to the consistency of people and strengthen memory. Each singing video is a close shot, sung in the same background, and most of the national songs are dressed in cheongsam and other details, which together form the "Wang Yumeng" IP.
The above methodology can undoubtedly be copied and applied to the operation of other musicians.Differentiated operation combined with personal characteristics, "short video+live broadcast" linkage, long-term creation, etc. all have considerable practical value, and the effect can be directly quantified and immediately corrected by feedback.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why a large number of amateur singers, such as Luo Xiaoan, Wang Zai Xiaoqiao and Chuanzi Suona, can rapidly grow into online celebrity here, and a large number of explosive songs can be born in Tik Tok. Under the circumstance that it is difficult for musicians to get out of the ring, many musicians have completed the rapid "cold start" and "explosive powder increase" here for several years in a row, which proves the continuous explosive power of Tik Tok.
When we look at it,Common ground of native musicians in Tik Tok.It can be seen that they are "thousands of people and thousands of faces" in image and have a clear recognition of people; Gradually grow up in the company of the audience, so it also has a deeper user emotional stickiness; At the same time, the highlight of career is mostly the explosion after long-term accumulation, which is sustainable.
Why Tik Tok has always been an "explosive manufacturing machine"And "phenomenal musicians pushing hands"?
In fact, like Wang Yumeng, there are many Tik Tok musicians with "talent+hard work" and personal characteristics. They are either good at writing or performing, constantly injecting novel ideas that break the conventional shackles into the whole music industry, and endowing explosive songs with deeper and richer connotations.
As far as explosive tracks are concerned,Some give positive energy to rap.In this summer’s hottest variety show "Brother Who Pierces the Thorns", "Flying in the Sky" exploded all over the network, and the broadcast volume of related topics in Tik Tok broke 1.02 billion, and countless people shouted "Go to the Top", and the original singer "Saddoggy" (formerly known as Hao An Jianyuan) in Tik Tok also rose rapidly. The 24-year-old boy showed his love for his hometown and his open mind that "the cover is better than the original" in an interview with Hebei Youth Daily’s Green Bean News. "I was shocked by the truth of Nathan Scott Lee’s singing, because of his performance on the spot and his stability, including his image and voice. I think all aspects are really great."
Some turn small love into great love, hitting the tears of countless people."I look up at the starry sky you have seen, and meet again after a hundred years of time and space." On the eve of the centenary of the founding of the Party, CCTV military, CCTV news, People’s Daily new media and other central media, with the tear force of the explosive song "Misplaced Time and Space" and a three-minute video clip, showed the great changes of honor and disgrace in the new China in the past 100 years and aroused patriotic resonance.
As far as the musicians out of the circle are concerned, the recent rising momentum is rapid, and the violin can be used to interpret all kinds of pop songs. Sichuan suona, a folk musical instrument, can be used to interpret the top 100 DJ electronic songs and realize the mix of traditional and modern; As well as being good at guitar, electronic organ and other musical instruments, he always plays and sings at night, bringing a "unplugged concert" to Luo Xiaoan.
As far as music theme activities are concerned, in the "Children’s Memories Killing" activity, classic songs of the 80s and 90s, such as Digital Baby, China Little Master, Young Hero Little Nezha, created a strong nostalgic atmosphere in the station, and the festive ceremony was full of sense; In the activity of "One Man, One Song Cheers for China Team", many musicians such as Dai Yutong _, Wang Xiaoshuai, and V Ye performed Olympic refueling songs in their own ways, conveying the Olympic spirit, and the emotional cohesion of music was vividly displayed here.
To sum up, with the upgrading of short video song consumption, a large number of new original songs are constantly put on every day, and users vote with their thumbs.The logic of vibrato blasting is iterating.Explosions are gradually "non-homogeneous", and it is often difficult to reproduce the myth by a single copy of the existing explosions, and more diversified styles can meet the market demand. The above-mentioned explosive songs and online celebrity musicians are related to rap, antique, classical and other genre elements; The improvement of user threshold requires stronger personal recognition and creative freshness.
With the logic iteration of explosions, Tik Tok’s corresponding music operation methods are constantly upgraded.One is to pay attention to the ecological linkage between multiple musicians, such as the linkage between Strictlyviolin Xunbo and "runaway steamed bread"; The second is that music and film ecology get through. Original music provides material for film and television "second creation", which promotes film and television announcement and UGC content output, which in turn promotes music to break the circle; The third is to launch activities at specific time nodes, lead hotspots, and continuously update themselves; The fourth is the official end, focusing on supporting waist musicians, focusing on personalization and differentiation in the whole IP training process, and the long tail effect continues to break out.
Then, behind the operational gameplay,What is the underlying logic that supports Tik Tok to become an "explosion-making machine" and a "phenomenon-level musician pusher"?
First of all,Music is the DNA since the birth of Tik Tok products, and it is an essential element in every short video.Its widely used scenes stimulate the original vitality of music, its huge daily flow pool of 600 million, and its diverse and inclusive creative atmosphere make it possible for every genre to find a bosom friend here;
Secondly,Tik Tok has built a rich and complete music ecology, with a large number of music practitioners, a wide range of application scenarios, mature rising channels and users with pan-music hobbies.According to the 2020 Tik Tok Music Ecological Data Report, the top 10 explosive songs in Tik Tok have a total broadcast volume of 94.5 billion. In the first half of 2020 alone, the number of musicians in Tik Tok increased by nearly 30,000, and it continues to maintain steady growth. In the past six months, the cumulative number of musicians in Tik Tok has exceeded 300 million, 6 musicians have exceeded 10 million, and 23 musicians have exceeded 5 million. Musicians such as Liu Yuning became popular in Tik Tok and "rose" to become stars;
Thirdly, the platform continuously strengthens its technical capabilities.Through the precise matching of big data and the decentralized algorithm mechanism, it helps waist musicians to go out of the circle.Witness the growth of non-head musicians, thus optimizing the entire creator structure;
Finally, Tik Tok alwaysInsist on supporting musicians from two dimensions: flow and income.With the daily live broadcast and online concert as the main engines to increase musicians’ income, a series of support plans such as "Sound Making Action", "Seeing Music Plan", "Tik Tok Musicians’ Hundred Million Yuan Subsidy Plan" and "Jupiter Plan" were launched to help musicians "have both the moon and the penny" and prolong their life cycle.
Thanks to the above efforts, the whole music ecology of Tik Tok has been able to grow continuously and become a "Hundred Flowers Garden" with rich categories.
Let musicians go from "being heard" to "being loved",Tik Tok Xuanfa promotes industrial change.
According to third-party data, the market size of digital music industry will exceed 74 billion yuan in 2021. Musicians are the key driving force in the development of the music industry. After realizing the huge potential of the domestic music market, many platforms have increased their layout. As a result, a series of phenomena, such as the upstream layout of the content production end, the emphasis on original copyright, the focus on the young market, and the more intense "competition" for musicians, have become a general trend in the industry. butHow to fundamentally improve the situation of musicians is still an unresolved issue.
The "2020 China Musicians Report" released by China Communication University shows that the musicians in China show the following major trends:Income increased year-on-year, but it is still low compared with developed countries.52% of musicians have no music income;Revenue from short video live broadcast platform has increased.37% of musicians have live broadcast behavior, and 62% of them have received live broadcast income;For waist and tail musicians, how to break the circle and increase income is the pain point.
Compared with other platforms, Tik Tok has the following unique advantages: other platforms either stay in the traditional stage of "listening to music" or music is separated from other content, while on Tik Tok, music is "viewable and playable", which forms a deep integration with the overall content and activates the ecological vitality of music;
In terms of the speed of powder increase, based on the daily traffic and activity advantages of the national short video application of 600 million, as well as the distribution advantages, the powder increase is obviously faster than other platforms, directly hitting the pain points mentioned above, helping musicians to burst out of the circle overnight, from "being heard" to "being loved";
In terms of gameplay, Tik Tok’s richer and more diverse gameplay brings more interesting musical creative expressions, such as national cover, fancy props or cross-dressing challenges, which inspires musicians’ creative inspiration; In terms of cash and flow support, Tik Tok became the first person in the short video industry to implement the "100 million yuan subsidy plan" for musicians, and the subsidy was even stronger.
What does the platform leave behind for the persistent cultivation of musicians? With the decline of the traditional music industry, the trend of music digitalization is unstoppable, from the explosive songs on the Spring Festival Evening to the musicians.Tik Tok constantly breaks down barriers and delivers new blood to the industry.; From "listening to music" and "watching music" to "playing music", Tik Tok has not only changed the mode of music announcement, but also gone deeper and deeper into the upstream, transforming the production mode with big data capabilities and shortening the music production cycle.Promote the rapid extension, upgrading and integration of industrial ecology to multiple fields.; When more musicians from the source of creation "make people sing songs out of the circle", the income will increase and attract more outstanding talents to enter, and it will alsoActivate the whole music industry chain and form a positive cycle.
Who is the musician who will become popular in Tik Tok next time? We will continue to pay attention.
