Perfect Life

Liao Liao is really red.

There are thousands of criteria for measuring a singer's popularity, but there is no doubt that there are only three most intuitive.

First, look at album sales.

It takes a certain amount of time for the sales of the entire market to be counted, and it usually lags by about three weeks. Currently, only the sales of the album "Liao Liao" have been counted in the first week of its release, which is 18,933.

Of course, this sales volume is very common, but it doesn't matter, because everyone understands that the data of that week has not yet reflected the strength of the album "Liao Liao" in the market. So, for now, what should her strength be?

The second place in the sales rankings of Dongguan Bookstore!

11484 pieces!

This is the sales data created under the premise that "Liao Liao" is out of stock nationwide!

If there is sufficient supply, how terrible would its sales be?

It is impossible for even the most professional people to guess, but everyone knows it.

Second, look at the invitation.

Commercial performance invitations, program invitations... Just one or two days after Dongguan Bookstore's second-ranked sales data came out, Changsheng Records has received a total of more than 200 commercial performance invitations!

You must know that performers have always had the most sensitive sense of smell! What they pay is real money and silver, and if they are willing to pay to a certain price, it must mean that your market value at least exceeds that price!

To put it bluntly, they do it for money!

As for those famous shows that had to rely on favors to get on, but still had to queue up, now many have already started to urge Liao Liao to appear on the show in turn.

As long as Liao Liao is willing to appear on the show, any sponsorship fee is not a sponsorship fee, it will hurt feelings to talk about that!

As long as Liao Liao is willing to appear on the show, why not queue up, how busy she is, how can we, how dare we delay her time and make her wait? As long as she arrives, you can record it anytime!

This one is upside down, and the one standing in the middle is, to put it bluntly, money.

The current Liao Liao can make everyone follow along to make money!

And this is the so-called status.

Third, watch The Voice of China's on-demand list of golden songs.

This list is currently recognized as the most authoritative single hot list in China, and it can most intuitively reflect the love of listeners and fans to these songs on the market. Its weekly top ten, almost every capital represents a big-selling album, and a big red singer. And if an album can have two songs on the chart at the same time, then congratulations, you are already one of the most popular people in the pop music world!

Although last week "Liao Liao", there were already two songs on the list at the same time, although people in the circle had a hunch, even though last week was the new album of Liu Mingliang, the big brother in the Chinese music circle, everyone was thinking, or With Liu Mingliang's status in the arena and the excellent quality of his new album, he should be able to play a sniping role, but when the latest week's data came out, the entire pop music world couldn't help but be amazed!

Because of the album "Liao Liao", it has five songs on the list in one go!

"Unfinished Love", tenth place!

"Wild Flowers", No. 7!

"The Hometown of My Love", No. 4!

"Cheers, Friends" 2nd place!

"Perseverance", the first place!

With a bang, it seems that something has been detonated!

If the influence of the previous album "Liao Liao" was only limited to the group of fans who usually like listening to music very much and are more willing to pay attention to the dynamics of the music world, then, with the fermentation of a few weeks, with the word of mouth The spread is getting faster and wider, and the scope of "Liao Liao", which has already accumulated enough popularity, is announced with the announcement of the Voice of China's Chinese song on demand list this week. Climbed a huge step!

At this level, the whole country and the whole society seem to be instantly crazy!

Radio and TV stations must broadcast every day, and the song-ordering station is occupied by this album every day. There must be several commentary articles in each issue of various newspapers and magazines. At any intersection in any city, you will always inadvertently hear passers-by humming a certain familiar melody in a low voice, and friends around you also say one by one: "Wow, This song is so good..."

Even a lot of people who don't usually listen to songs suddenly feel, oh, so this album is so good and so many people like it, then I'll buy one and listen to it!

So, "Liao Liao" is getting more and more popular!

So, after the most sensitive performers and performance companies smashed invitations to Changsheng Records in batches, interview invitations and exclusive interview invitations from various radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, and magazines also followed!

So, when Liao Liao arrived in Chengdu by plane ignorantly to record a radio program, including Tianfu TV, Chengdu TV, Southwest Voice Radio, Tianfu Provincial Radio, Chengdu Radio, Tianfu Evening News, Jin Nearly ten local media, including Guancheng Daily, did not know where they found the information. After contacting Changsheng Records, they could not find the information of Liao Liao's manager. Gather at Jinguancheng Airport.

The appearance of a large number of cameras, video cameras and microphones also directly caused many arriving passengers to be stranded. After finding out that the reporters who were going to pick up the plane were actually Liao Liao, it instantly triggered a frenzy on the scene.

So, when Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan, who were completely unaware, came to the waiting hall, they were immediately frightened by the hundreds of fans gathered at the scene. In the end, they relied on the airport security and the long-appointed Jinguancheng radio station. Under the protection of the pick-up staff, they hurriedly fled the scene!

And that night, Liao Liao's stiff smile appeared on the evening news of Chengdu TV station, the front page headlines of several local newspapers' literary and entertainment section, and the "Evening Entertainment Express" and "Evening Entertainment Broadcasting" of several local radio stations. ".

Also that night, Xiao Yuandong, the manager of the brokerage department of Changsheng Records, who was in charge of preparations for a concert by the leading male singer of Changsheng Records, Zhou Feng, flew from Songjiang Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture overnight.

The day after he arrived, according to the request of the general manager Zheng Changsheng, he took over three radio programs for Liao Liao in one breath, and at the same time declined the invitations for programs from many TV stations and the interview invitations from many newspapers and magazines. . Of course, although the schedule is in a hurry now, in addition to the show, the time for those magazines to shoot a few covers can still be squeezed out...

As a result, Liao Liao's itinerary was forced to change.

…………

All of this shows with absolute certainty that Liao Liao is really popular!

But it wasn't just herself who became popular.

For fans, if they think which song is good, they will only pay attention to the person who sings it. They will not easily pay attention to which company produced this record, and they will not bother to pay attention to the lyrics in the lyric book. Who the lyricist was, who the composer was, none of those things meant much to them.

But that's not the case within the music industry.

Just as the film and television industry has long held the theory that "a role makes an actor", in the music industry, "a good song makes a singer" is not a new topic at all.

Moreover, open the lyric book of the album "Liao Liao" and take a look!

Its five most popular songs, and its five top ten songs on the VOD chart at the same time, were actually written by the same person!

The words were written by the same person!

The song was written by the same person!

How much blindness do you have to be in order to see?

How ignorant must one be to not understand why the album "Liao Liao" became popular?

So...

"Hey, I'm Zheng Changsheng...Oh, Mr. Zhang, hello, hello, haha, thank you, thank you! Everyone is getting rich and getting rich!...Oh, she was blocked by several local media in Chengdu recently. Oh, this girl, how do you say it, you know it! She doesn't know how to hide when she sees so many cameras, and she walks over with her eyebrows straight... Hey, that's right! She doesn't know what she is. It's already so popular! ... Oh, you said Li Qian! Ah, haha, yes, yes! ... Hey, that's what happened, he is Liao Liao's friend! ... Yes, yes, genius Ah, hehe! Yes, yes, we are discussing the contract, yes, yes! Haha, Mr. Zhang, you are... joking, joking! Of course we will sign him! Liao Liao called me yesterday. The phone came and said that she wanted Li Qian to be her producer for her next album!... Of course I agree!... Oh, inviting songs, this is easy to say, easy to say, everyone is friends, of course we can cooperate! This Well, don’t worry, I met Xiao Li personally, if there is a suitable song, I will definitely send it to you first, okay?”

"Hey, Mr. Lin, you are so rare, why did you remember to call me?... Haha, thank you, thank you!... Oh, Liao Liao, she... Yes, Li Qian, we have been there for a long time. We're talking about the contract, and it's almost signed recently!... Yes, that's what I'm talking about, you've heard it, right, right, he's still in high school!... Hehe, yes, yes, thank you, thank you! Good, good, good, in the future he has a suitable work, he must send it to you first! Haha, it's easy to talk about it!"

"Hey, Mr. He, hello, I'm Zheng Changsheng. Haha, thank you! ... Well, preparations for Liao Liao's next album have already begun, yes, yes! ... Well, what Liao Liao means is to let Xiao Liao Li Lai will give her the producer of the current album! Hahaha, yes, yes, yes!…Ah, with Xiao Li? We are very familiar!…Yes, yes, very familiar!…It’s easy to talk, you can rest assured, eh , we will definitely have a chance to cooperate later!...Okay, okay, I'll call Xiao Li and Liao Liao later, let's sit down together...Okay, okay!"

"..."

There are dozens of record companies in the entire domestic music circle, and Zheng Changsheng has been in the music circle for many years. , So, his contacts can be said to be broad.

In the past, this was naturally one of the places he was proud of, but in recent days, it has almost become the biggest nightmare of his life...

Among the musicians, there may be those fools who only understand music but know nothing about the world, but none of the record company bosses and senior managers are not human beings!

Maybe everyone was still waiting and hesitating in the past few weeks, but as the album "Liao Liao" won five spots on the Golden Melody on-demand list this week, even the music king Liu Mingliang stepped on it mercilessly. Under his feet, his explosive momentum immediately made these elites put aside the last bit of hesitation and stretched out their hands one after another!

Liao Liao... Of course they can dig!

This is already guessed!

But firstly, the company's contract with Liao Liao still includes an album and a one-and-a-half-year management contract. Second, Zheng Changsheng feels that he and the company treat Liao Liao fairly well, especially during the production of this album, even though he I got mad at her, and even scolded her, but in the end I indulged her behavior, which is why this album is so popular now. With Liao Liao's character, such a ruthless thing for money, it is estimated that she can't do it!

So for Liao Liao, he didn't worry too much.

At least until the contract between the two parties was fulfilled, Zheng Changsheng felt that the possibility of Liao Liao switching jobs was very small!

Moreover, he is not stupid enough to leave a loophole for other companies to take advantage of. He has been thinking about the new contract for the past few days, and decided to talk to Liao Liao in person after he comes back. He believes that the offer he gave is absolutely sincere, and he can definitely keep Liao Liao at least a little longer. three years!

Now what he is most worried about, most worried about, and most uneasy about is... that high school student!

First of all, he must have no contract, he is a free man!

Secondly, although there may be only one Liao Liao in the entire music circle who knows him and knows how to contact him, but with the popularity of "Liao Liao", along with several songs such as "Perseverance" and "My Hometown I'm Loving" The song's rapid popularity, but his musical talent has been shown in an all-round way!

He can write lyrics, compose music, and is quite good at arranging!

He can write rural ballads in a bold and unrestrained manner, Chinese style in a gentle and romantic way, and light rock that no one in China has ever really played with so swayingly...

Such a music prodigy, but he doesn't have the fetters of any contract... If you think about it, you can see how many record companies are looking for the contact information of this kid!

Don't look at their congratulations when they call each and every one of them, but Zheng Changsheng understands very well in his heart that they have only one purpose - to find out the contact information of that kid!

Don't say that even Zheng Changsheng doesn't have Li Qian's contact information. Even if he did, Zheng Changsheng certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say it! But the problem is, the contact information can be omitted. The other party asked whether Changsheng Records had already signed Li Qian, so he couldn't help but say it?

Then you have to... nonsense!

At least stop them all first!

But, what should I do next?

Li Qian will definitely sign it!

Of course you do!

But...how to sign?

Since Liao Liao bought five of his songs and came back from Jinan, there have been all kinds of gossip in the company. Li Qian's identity as a high school student has long been no secret, but from the beginning to the present, Liao Liao has never She took the initiative to reveal Li Qian's contact information to the company, and even after the album was released, she never took the initiative to recommend Li Qian to the company.

In the music industry, this clearly shows the attitude to be hidden.

Fortunately, as of now, Liao Liao has not made any recommendations to other record companies!

So Changsheng Records still has a little advantage.

It's just... the ghost knows what the relationship between the two of them is!

The ghost knows Liao Liao... or Li Qian, what idea was he fighting!

Looking back now, Zheng Changsheng only regretted it. In fact, he should have taken a tough attitude when Liao Liao insisted on using Li Qian's five songs, and at least recorded the contact information of the other party's songwriter!

But the problem is, at that time, I was just so angry with Liao Liao for being so self-assured. Who would have expected such a high school student's work to be so popular in every capital?

Until now, Liao Liao is very popular inside and outside the circle, and Li Qian's reputation in the circle is also skyrocketing. Don't look at Zheng Changsheng as Liao Liao's boss, but facing the current Liao Liao and Li Qian, he coaxes him. It's too late, how dare you be strong?

The phone rang again, and it was directly to the exclusive private number of his boss.

Obviously, the other party must be a high-level record company.

As soon as a dozen of such calls were connected, Zheng Changsheng was already extremely upset.

He called the secretary, Xiao Wang, on the internal line, and said, "From now on, you will sit with me and be responsible for answering the phone. If you ask Liao Liao, he will say he hasn't come back. If he asks me, he will say he is on business. ...ask Li Qian...you just say you don't know! Uh...no, you just say, say it's a company secret, keep it a secret!"

After he finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa in the reception area, and while listening to Secretary Xiao Wang dealing with one call after another, he couldn't help frowning in distress.

Then, he finally became ruthless, took out his mobile phone and called Liao Liao.

No, I really can't wait any longer!

This time, Liao Liao picked it up himself.

After a chat, Zheng Changsheng pretended to be casual and said, "By the way, Liao Liao, that Li Qian who wrote you songs hasn't signed up for another company, right?"

Liao Liao said, "No! What's wrong?"

Zheng Changsheng said: "Oh, it's fine, I think he is really talented in creation, so, Liao Liao, ask him to see if he is willing to come to our company! As long as he is willing to come, the conditions are up to him. carry!"

On the other end of the phone, Liao Liao laughed "hehe" and said, "Is he more popular than me in the circle now! I don't know how many calls I've received these days, it seems that everyone is beating around the bush. Ask him! However, Mr. Zheng, I advise you not to bother. I talked to him on the phone last night, and he said that he wants to study hard for now. He has to wait until when he feels that he has not been admitted to the university. If there is a problem, we will consider this aspect again!"

"Uh... so, he's not going to debut or sign a contract in the short term?"

"Well, that's what it means! But don't worry, if he really wants to sign a company to release a record, he will definitely ask me! I will definitely be the first to recommend us Changsheng Records!"

"Oh, that's it! Good, good! ... Uh, by the way, can anyone in other companies contact him?"

"Oh, then I can't guarantee it! He is now singing in a restaurant in Jinan Prefecture! It is said that he can sing for an hour a day, and even if he is rewarded by the guest officials, he can earn dozens of yuan! Let others meet you!"

"..."

After hanging up, Zheng Changsheng felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw.

The front is okay, the key is that Liao Liao's last sentence is too annoying.

But when he turned to think about it, he quickly calmed down again.

People who play music, especially those who are good at music, are often temperamental.

And the bigger the ability, the bigger the temper.

Since Liao Liao has already asked, Li Qian has no plans to debut recently, so at least before he graduates from high school, he should really not sign with any company.

So, what you can't get, at least others can't get it, right?

Besides, although the company couldn't sign Li Qian, but with Liao Liao's relationship, it should be possible to continue getting songs from him? ... Thinking about it this way, it seems better than signing him?

You must know that once he is signed, as an artist of the company, he will definitely not be able to supply all of his songs to the company. There are always some favors that need to be exchanged from other companies!

And now... the others are not Liao Liao! Others don't know Li Qian!

In other words, except Liao Liao, no one can get songs from him!

Thinking of this, Zheng Changsheng snapped his fingers happily.

Just when the secretary, Xiao Wang, just hung up the phone, he turned his head and instructed Xiao Wang, "No matter who calls me next, tell them that Li Qian will continue to study, so he won't make his debut! They want to sign Li Qian, If you want Li Qian's songs, just find a way to get them, because we won't even have the Changsheng record!"

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.

Zheng Changsheng sat comfortably on the sofa and listened to the secretary, Xiao Wang, talking to those people.

"This is the best way!" he thought to himself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart: You said that your song writing is so good, so you signed a contract to make music. ?

What kind of book are you still reading?

That's good, how can I earn dozens of dollars a day while I'm in high school and singing...

Just because of your five songs at the same time rushing to the top ten on the VOD chart, and because of the crazy sales of the album "Liao Liao"... You said this, aren't you a humble person!

Speaking of which, he has been making music as an outsider for more than ten years, and what Zheng Changsheng looks forward to most is the artistic style of musicians. With that enthusiasm, they can always come up with an endless stream of brilliant ideas. , they can always create heart-pounding music, and then... make their own money.

However, what he hates most is the sub-literary style of musicians, because what they say is what they must be!

So, Zhou Hao fell in love with a bad old man when he was the most popular, and was willing to go up to the pole and become a concubine for others! To this end, even at the expense of quitting the music scene! The problem is that the other party is not only old and ugly, but also poor...

So, Li Qian, a high school student, after using five songs to smash five of the top ten spots on the Voice of China Weekly On-Demand Chart, he actually stayed in his hometown to study high school, and even went out to sing...

To sum it up in one sentence -

This group of people, too quack!
