UGC

UGC is User Generated Content covering music recommendations. NetEase platform is highly interactive as almost every user has been used to listen to music while watching the comments, write reviews and then share to other social media platforms. By 2016, the villagers (as users call themselves) had generated more than 400 million comments.

As NetEase music staff is interested in attracting independent original musicians, they spent a month traveling all over the Live scene in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Lijiang to explore and cooperate with those niche musicians. For example, the musicians can release albums on NetEase music, or operate a tour concert with NetEase music’s name.

 

The Landlord’s Cat, a Chinese indie folk duo formed by university friends in Wuchang city, planned to break up in 2016 to find “serious jobs”. A friend encouraged them to give it a final try by selling their album through Chinese streaming platform NetEase Cloud Music after fan requests.

The response turned out to be overwhelming with over 2,400 albums sold. Two years later the duo has reached over 1.3 million followers and that friend, Li Xiancheng, now manages The Landlord’s Cat.

“NetEase Cloud Music has given us exposure on the app by writing about us, featuring us in music shows and recommending our music to users. That helped us grow our followers by over 700,000 within a year … and brought us a decent income from royalties,” said Li.

The single “A Sunny Day” by Taiwanese pop singer Jay Chou has already been commented on the service more than one million times. Recently NetEase Cloud Music was the first to release the single “Chengdu” by Chinese balladeer Zhao Lei which was quickly and widely shared across the social media networks, becoming a social phenomenon.
