大家好,我是SLS,很久沒公開和大家聊聊天講講話,今天就藉機在此和大家說說一些心裡話。
Hi, I’m SLS. It’s been a while since last time I post something like this, but let’s just have a chat.
先來說一下近況,其實有些人都有感覺到最近我的消失,還有人私訊IG關心,真的很謝謝大家。是的,很抱歉因為個人關係,別說幾乎無暇處理頻道事務,就連琴,我「今年」到現在碰琴的時間忙到可能加起來不到10個小時吧(笑)。真的是壓力很大,非常大。真的是破天荒,跟失戀一樣的感覺。留言、發文、會員、各平台經營等事務有90%都是拜託Tt.和BOY幫忙處理,真的是辛苦他們了,在這裡要跟他們致上深深的感謝。
Let’s start with the situation recently, some of you have already notice my disappearance, thanks for all your caring, yes, due to personal issues I’ve been too busy to deal with all the works of SLSMusic. Further more, actually I’ve been nearly half a year couldn’t play or practice piano, It’s really crazy to me. I'm under a lots of pressure for a long time. So I’m really grateful that Tt. and BOY help me with all the stuff including details of videos, posting on all the social media and replying the comments.
接下來就是先講正題——如附圖所示,我們頻道的影片在上週的某一日起近乎全數在無預警的情況下被轉為「禁止營利」的紅標狀態。
Okay now, you may wanna ask “what’s happened” after seeing this picture. without any announcement from YouTube, a great amount of videos in our channel have demonetized since last week.
對,在那個當下我是傻眼的,然後整個晚上崩潰睡不著吧,雖然平常就常常睡不著了(笑)。起初以為是後台出問題或者Bug(因為以前曾近有過幾次),但後來發現好像不是,整個頻道現在沒有任何的黃標分潤,感覺有點不像是單一個案的手動調整;目前也不清楚是平台政策更改還是各家唱片公司暗地裡做好約定(?),但作為「二創」創作者的我們,也只能摸摸鼻子黯然接受,畢竟我們還是必須尊重原著作所有權者。(不清楚我在說什麼的朋友我在留言區會解釋一下Cover在YT平台上的版權、黃紅標的問題,這裡就不贅述。)
Yes, I’m shocked. I’m totally frightened and couldn’t sleep all night. At first we thought that’s some sort of BUG from the system, but it seems not. And for derivative music creators like us, we could do nothing but accept it despairingly.
正因為YouTube提供一個有優良機制、管道的平台讓音樂創作者在專注於創作上的同時還能獲得些許分潤回報,做Cover的頻道前些年才像雨後春筍一般冒出來。(好啦我知道台灣很少,器樂的更少,是男生的更少,不露臉的更少——)
YouTube has been provide a nice platform for music creators which could let us not only focus on creating contents but also get something back, even just a little. That’s why more and more Cover channels showed up last few years, you could called that the golden era. (Okay I know there’s just a few in Taiwan, not to mention pure instrumental channels)
這些年,YouTube變了很多。有在持續追蹤我們的朋友們應該都有發現,近年來的觀看跌的很慘;當然我們也不是個案,就連我自己追蹤快10年的「百萬訂閱」Cover頻道,他竟然淪落到現在發的每部片平均過一週竟還不到10萬點擊,所以我想想,嗯,我們還算好的(?)。 我周圍的朋友都跟我說,如果我早1、2年出來,我現在早就百萬訂閱了,我自己心裡則是苦笑,因為我也很明白。當然,我也清楚,觀看VIEWS不代表一切,一部作品不是單單用一個面向去評斷他,不能因為它觀看低就去否定他的價值,對,我都知道。
Yes, YouTube has changed a lot these years. The algorithm keeps changing, and the views of our videos also keep decreasing. I know that VIEWS doesn’t mean everything, but you know, that still sucks.
但我還是看到一些擺在我眼前活生生血淋淋的例子,告訴我「哈哈活該是你自己不這麼做、那麼做」。說真的,別說我,量你修養再高你心裡一定就還是會覺得很想靠北邊走吧。有些原則我真的不會去動它,因為那就是我的準則。
「對不起,是我固執。」
大家都知道音樂家、音樂人在這個年代、這個環境下,有多難發展及生存。我只希望大家知道,對我們來說,光靠原先的廣告收益就已經「非常不夠」。我們無法像其他類型的頻道般地高頻率發片、大量觸及各類觀眾,也無法像偶像團體或正妹帥哥賣臉賣身(?)吸引點閱,我們只是(算我的固執)堅持地做好「音樂」,並盡力利用影像傳達給觀眾最直接的演出。再加上我們有一位機車又龜毛的頻道主(我),我們每一部影片都需要一定的討論、拍攝及製作時間,週更其實對於現在的我們來說每週都在挑戰極限。喔不,不要誤會,我沒有看輕其他類型創作者的意思,我認為一個頻道成功絕對有他背後不為人知的辛秘及付出。
Musicians live a hard life these days, especially in Taiwan. The revenue from YouTube once made us feel better, but not for long. We are not capable to upload video everyday like other types of channels, actually once a week like now is already challenging.
我們需要填飽肚子,負擔生活、工作上的一切開銷與成本,我們已經逐漸淡出學生時代邊讀書邊玩拍影片的時期,現實的壓力不斷地朝我們逼來,而我真的很努力,很努力、不斷去提醒我與我的夥伴們我們的初衷與熱誠,以及對「音樂」該有的態度。所以我也常常說:
我希望大家想到我們,會稱呼、會記得我們是「音樂家」而非「YouTuber」。
I always told my friend that I prefer to be known, to be remembered as a “Musician” not a “YouTuber”.
好啦,其實打到這邊,我也不知道我到底想要表達什麼了(笑)大家就當做讓我抒發一下吧。回想起來,我依然覺得我很幸福:有支持我夢想的家人,志同道合的朋友,從小無師自通起來的雜七雜八能力,不是讀音樂班卻誤打誤撞進了音樂系,愛音樂、愛遊戲、愛攝影、愛玩電腦、愛看動漫,然後竟然可以找到方法轉化自己的「一堆興趣」成為工作,我覺得真的很幸運了。更因為如此,我也常常警惕自己,當興趣成為工作,就像走鋼索一樣,一不小心向左跌,「興趣」就沒了,一不小心向右摔,「工作」就沒了。
Hmm.. anyway. I nearly forgot what I was trying to say here. Just take it as my own confession. Well, generally speaking, I still think I’m a lucky guy. I’ve got family who support my dreams, I’ve got best friends who also got similar ideas and interests with my. I crushed into music industry with zero background, I love music, games, animes, cinematography, and now I could use my interests to make living, theres nothing better than this.
回到正題,那麼這個大悲劇對「SLSMusic」發片會有什麼影響嗎?短期的答案是「不會」。除非他現在跟我說我做COVER就要鎖我頻道(笑)。我們是音樂家,YouTube是我們發表作品、分享音樂的「管道」;今天就算YouTube倒了,SLSMusic也還會在;今天只要我還在,SLSMusic就在。況且...彈Cover是我愛做的事 :1
Okay, back to the business. What will happen to “SLSMusic” facing this serious problem? The answer is “nothing would happen”. We’re still us. We’re musicians, YouTube is only a PLATFORM for us to share our joy to the world. Even if YouTube’s gone, as long as I’m here, SLSMusic will always be there. Not to mention doing cover is my personal hobby since I was a child :1
......話是説的這麼帥氣豁達,但要是我們真的餓死做不下去可真的會很頭痛orz..說真的,如果真的這樣下去,想必Cover風氣會整個大受打擊吧,這不是音樂發展來說樂見的事情,畢竟現在連YT官方說明也還是推崇我們二創進行分潤,我們實在想不通為什麼會這樣。
I really wish this situation wouldn’t last so long. Otherwise, not only us, it would be a disaster for all the music creators. But still, I’m not giving up.

從下個月開始,我就會回到正常軌道。接下來希望能達成的目標真的很多,除了在影片方面有很多新系列的想法,還有工作室、街演、音樂會、教學、樂譜、周邊等等方面的優化與計畫,想到真是又興奮又緊張超頭痛,在這裡就先跟大家賣關子,還請大家敬請期待與支持。
Anyway, thanks for reading, and thanks for everyone who supports us for so long. After finishing my business here, I’ll soon come back where I used to be, and start to work on multiple project that we’ve been planning for a long time, such as new series of videos, new studio, sheet music, etc. Stay tuned!

感谢 Millennials of KL 找我做这一期的采访!
看到了这篇采访让我更坚定我的在演艺事业的梦想与热诚!
“只要你有热诚, 没有什么是做不了的!“
#millennialskl #joshuatsi #mypassion #acting
“I’ve faced a lot of challenges until today, it’s not a glamourous path to be an actor as you think. It takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes which you don’t see on screen.”
I love acting so much because it improves myself mentally and physically. Acting is not just an ‘act’ or ‘pretend’, but to really submerge yourself into the character and be that character but not lose yourself when it’s over. It’s really hard to achieve to that extent even though I’ve been acting for more than 2 years.
Acting is a dream I got from a Malaysian Singer in my primary days. I was watching Astro Star Quest (ASQ) final and one of the contestant from Kuching, my hometown, won the champion. He pursue his career from Malaysia to Taiwan in not just singing but acting too and got so successful. That time, I told myself I’ll be like him and meet him one day.
My parents rejected at first, as you know parents don’t think this career will bring you to any future. But as they saw my passion and hard work on it, they accepted my passion and are now supporting me on it. As for now, I’m planning to take acting courses to improve my acting skills as I’ve still got loads to learn and improve.
The worst pressure I felt was a shoot in 2017. My health was into the red-light signal but I still go on for acting. That day on set, I was totally blanked out and can’t focus on anything which resulted in a bad acting. The production was asking me if I was a first timer and I was in tears back in my car after that. But I told myself it was just one bad day, keep work harder and I’ll do good one day.
So far, I’ve been in a few commercials, dramas and movies. No lead roles yet but some of the movies I’m in lately is ‘The Spiral’ and ‘23:59 The Haunting Hour’. I don’t think I’ve make it big at the moment but if I really got a big break starring in a movie or drama as the lead actor then I think I’ve made it big in my acting career.
I'm lucky I've got my family, my friends and also a group of fans supporting me all the way to where I am now. You got to have a great heart when you start to venture into this career. A great heart means, you know this is your passion but not just want to be famous or earn loads of money. Because in this career, passion comes first.
When you have passion, you will be eager to learn with a great attitude and slowly gain better experience and slowly get into your big break. A great actor doesn't happen in one night but within a period of time as there is always a saying, "One second on stage, ten years of practice behind the stage."
