Chapter 185 [Bonus Chapter] 185 - Plan
185 [Bonus Chapter] 185 - Plan
"You'll regret this... don't think that because you have some good songs, as a D-rank artist, you'll be able to compete with a future B-rank artist." The man said with a frown as he left the dressing room.
After he left, we also felt uncomfortable staying in this place, so we gathered our things and went to my house.
With the amount of space and privacy we had in the basement of my house, it was the perfect place to have a meeting.
Even though Mark and Frank were not really part of 'BlackVelvet', they were my friends and were as angry as I was about how we had been treated by this agent.
So when we arrived in the basement of my house, even though it was 10 p.m., no one was sleepy and our minds were working together on how we could get revenge.
Yes, revenge, because Dark Pistol wanted to use my music to promote themselves and get the publicity they so desperately wanted without worrying about whether it would affect me or not, so nothing could be more fair than for me to make an effort to stop it, right?
Unfortunately, while their MeTube channel had 1 million subscribers and very few views on non-music videos, the music videos got a lot of views, with several songs exceeding 10 million views, and some even exceeding 50 million... a far cry from what I had achieved so far.
And considering how good In The End was, and how well it had done in my old world, it had a chance to even break their 50 million record and be the first of their songs to break 9 figures in views.
Considering that they really did have a large audience by their popularity rank, my response to this had to be right.
"Do you have something in mind, Noah?" Selena asked with a frown.
"I think everyone knows we have everything on tape, right?" I said as I looked at her and Jason.
Hearing that, everyone nodded, but they were still worried.
Since they were all used to Jason recording everything, it was understandable that they knew that Jason might have recorded this conversation, but they also knew that this recording alone wouldn't be enough to hurt Dark Pistol if it wasn't used in the right way.
"I'm thinking of using this recording in a more creative way, in a way that I can use it not only to polish their image, but also to use their popularity to boost my own..." I said slowly, still organizing my thoughts.
Hearing this, Selena became interested and asked me. "What are you thinking?"
I was silent for another two minutes while I organized the thoughts in my head, and they just waited while they also tried to think of something and waited for me.
"I was thinking... just posting a vlog would get the video 500k - 1 million views at most, which might be good, but it wouldn't do anything useful for me or to end their popularity as much as they would gain from a song with 100 million views... so I thought I'd make it into something bigger, to generate more hype about it before finally doing the reveal..." I began to explain.
Hearing that I actually had a concrete plan, they began to look at me with interest.
"Think about it with me, if instead of releasing a normal vlog showing what happened, we made like a mini-documentary of a few episodes showing the process of creating the song, my inspirations, the public's reaction to the song, how personal it was for me, describing my journey until the moment they hear the song, copy it and try to release it just to make money and popularity without worrying about whether it affects me or not... I think that would do a lot of harm." I explained, causing her eyes to glaze over.
"But if you just start with a documentary about yourself, it's unlikely to generate the hype you need to make it go viral..." Mark sighed.
"It's just a matter of Noah making it clear at the beginning what it's about, saying what's going on and explaining it little by little over the course of the episodes... if people know that something serious has happened and are interested in finding out why, we just have to work on that hype to generate even more engagement for the final episode!" Selena started to get excited about the idea.
"I can help with the soundtrack for the videos, since you'll be busy recording and editing." Frank suggested something he could help with that would be very useful to me, especially considering how good he was with so many instruments.
"I don't know if I can help with anything in particular, but if you need anything, just give me a call!" Mark also offered, making me smile at the help they were both offering.
"Since I know where this is going, I can also help split up the footage and send you only the parts that can be useful without you having to spend so much time going through everything." Jason suggested, causing me to nod at him as well.
Selena also offered to help us hire someone to help with the direction, which would be the most important thing for this.
The only thing I demanded was that this person knew how to listen to criticism and had some experience in making things for the internet, because I wanted someone to share the work with me, rather than someone who would give me even more work because they wanted to do it their way.
So with all that confirmed, we started planning exactly what we were going to do to get it done as quickly as possible, because the longer In The End was available to them, the more it could keep me from succeeding with this idea.
I knew the song was going to be released anyway, but I had to get it done as soon as possible to avoid as much damage as possible to me and as much damage as possible to them!
