Perfect Life

In the audition room, many people who were originally surprised also regained their composure and sat back calmly.

Although in the domestic music market, no singer has released works of nursery rhymes in their albums, but those who are familiar with this field understand that the market for nursery rhymes has always been there, and it is quite huge. It is not too much to take one out of ten to twelve works on an album to test the waters.

Moreover, such a nursery rhyme with good lyrics and music, and full of positive energy, let Wuxingwusu, a group composed of five young and beautiful girls, sing it, and they actually sang a little bit. The sound of nature and the taste of holiness... I have to say, if you think about it, you will think that this is a rather beautiful idea!

Think about it, if Wuxingwusu can become the big sister in the eyes of hundreds of millions of teenagers across the country... How many fans they will have in the future is another matter, at least for now, this will definitely contribute to this Great album for sale!

Besides, the nursery rhyme has never appeared before. Is it like the "Sister and Sister Stand Up" in the previous song, is it some common good that can be seen?

Li Qian shot, from folk songs to light rock, and from light rock to the new Chinese style, then from Chinese style to youthful songs, and then from youthful songs to nursery rhymes... The way is weird, but at least it's a bit weird. According to the judgment results obtained by the ears of so many professionals in the audition room, no one dares to say that he can't play like this!

…………

Soon, "Let's Sculls" was over.

For a while, the listening room fell into complete silence. The sharpest contrast to the noise before playback begins!

General Manager Huang Dazhong was taken aback for a moment. He exchanged glances with Du Xiaoming next to him. Then he said, "You don't have to go to the conference room. Everyone seems to be a little excited. Let's just go here. If you have any ideas or opinions, please tell me."

While speaking, he and Du Xiaoming stood up one after another and walked towards the front of the auditorium.

At this time, seeing the Wuxing Wusu sisters standing in a row at the door holding hands, he raised his finger and pointed at them. Said: "You go out first and wait for the results outside."

The sisters had no choice but to open the door and exit after hearing this.

A big company has its own rules. Like this kind of audition meeting, it is natural that people from various departments will review the work. If the singer can not hear it, it is naturally better not to let the singer hear it. After all, it is only two demos. Whatever, it's all for the sake of the work and future sales. If some people have a small stomach, they will hate it. It's really not necessary.

When Wuxing Wusu and their manager closed the door, someone immediately stood up and said, "As far as I feel. The first song definitely has huge market potential! This style is not yet available in the market. It has appeared before, but my prediction is that it will definitely be popular, and if a song like this is released now, it will become an instant hit!"

Huang Dazhong nodded, this statement is very close to his judgment.

So, he turned his head and exchanged a look with Du Xiaoming. Seeing that the other party also nodded solemnly, he waved his hand to indicate that the speaker could sit down, and then asked, "Does anyone have a different opinion? Come on, let's talk about it. ."

The scene was quiet for a moment, and someone said, "The first song, I agree with Lao Qian's opinion, it's this second song, that nursery rhyme... Of course, I'm not saying that nursery rhyme is bad, in fact, I feel pretty good, From the lyrics to the arrangement, to their singing, it feels right and very good. I just think that if these two songs are put into one album, will it be a little stylistic? Could it be that... it messes up the theme that should have been highlighted?"

Huang Dazhong nodded and asked, "What do you mean?"

The man said: "I mean, choose one of the two, I think any one of these two songs is quite good, and both have the foundation to become popular in the market, but to appear in an album, it will be a little bit different. It's against the harmony, so, then choose one of the two, choose one as the title song of Wuxing Wusu's album, and it is also the main direction. The whole album is done around this way, of course, I suggest that. The first one, the market potential of that song is not only great, but I think it has a greater chance of becoming popular in the market. As for the other nursery rhyme, don't waste it. I will help them get two more nursery rhymes and make one. Small album, or simply release a single to test the water, if the market response is also very good, then make a nursery rhyme-style album for them alone!"

Huang Dazhong nodded when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and said, "That's it? Is there anything else to say?"

After a short pause, he saw that no one else in the room wanted to speak. Knowing that the above two views basically represented two different views of everyone, he slowly nodded and turned to look at the music director Du Xiaoming.

Similar to the configuration of all companies, the general manager of a record company, especially the CEO of a large record company like Huang Dazhong, is often not the most professional person. And the most professional musician in a record company is often the music director or art director.

In Huage Records, of course, it is Du Xiaoming.

But at this time, the expression on Du Xiaoming's face was a little weird, he frowned tightly, not knowing what he was struggling with.

Huang Dazhong thought for a while and said, "The meeting is dismissed."

When everyone heard the words, they got up and went out.

Huang Dazhong beckoned to Li Jinlong, and when the other party passed by, the people walked almost the same way, he asked: "You heard it just now, what does Li Qian mean? Make these two songs into an album?"

Li Jinlong thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It should be like this, I observed what he meant, it should be that I don't want Wuxingwusu to become the kind of image that only sings fast songs and then dances, and he also said , If the album makes him responsible for the production, not only the problem of this nursery rhyme, he will also arrange several slow songs for Wuxing Wusu in the future."

Huang Dazhong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "He... he still has a good level, and he can feel that he is not only good at light rock, folk songs, Chinese style, etc., like that fast song, he made it. Quite standard. And...he always seems to sense that there must be a market, but we haven't been able to make a good model for a while..."

Paused. He asked, "What price does the other party want?"

Li Jinlong was refreshed when he heard the words. Then he said very cautiously: "He is responsible for the production of the entire album, and is responsible for the creation of at least five of them. If the sales are less than 1 million copies, he will not pay a cent!"

Hearing this, Huang Dazhong's eyes immediately lit up.

Even Du Xiaoming, who had been frowning and pondering beside him, was suddenly attracted and couldn't help but let out a "huh" and looked at Huang Dazhong. He smiled and said, "I'm really confident!"

Huang Dazhong nodded and asked, "Then what?"

Li Jinlong said: "Then, if it exceeds one million, he wants five points, one and a half million, six points, two million for seven points, and then, two and a half million is eight. Points, three million is ten points. Finally, if it's more than five million. He wants fifteen points."

Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming heard the words, and there was a smile that was not a smile on their faces at the same time.

Huang Dazhong looked back at Du Xiaoming and said with a smile, "The lion has a big mouth!"

Du Xiaoming nodded and said, "It should be rushing for 2 million copies. If there are really 2 million copies, even if Wuxing Wusu is completely popular, he is still alive. Give him seven points... it's nothing. And I think, judging from the quality of the two songs just now, he should have a good idea in his heart, and this sales volume seems promising. As for the five million copies... Hehe, I guess he has three poles. Well, I guess it is mainly to express his confidence in this album, mainly to give us a little confidence, as for the number of sales... I think that is unlikely."

Huang Dazhong nodded and agreed with Du Xiaoming's statement.

This is just a little trick that is very common in business negotiation and business cooperation, nothing unusual.

Moreover, as Du Xiaoming said, the other party is estimated to be rushing to the sales level of 2 million copies. Then, according to this order of magnitude, don’t say that Huage Records will be able to make money in the follow-up commercial activities after Wuxingwusu becomes popular. The profit he received, even if he only calculated the profit from selling records and gave him seven points of royalties, it was totally worth it.

Seven points, 2 million copies, only 14.5 million, which is only a small part of the 4-5 million profit that the entire album may get by then.

Of course, although it is only a small part, after all, it is divided from the profits of Huage Records. If it was someone else, Huage Records would not be able to give such a high price. The main problem now is that, except for him, Li Qian, no one can guarantee, and indeed no one has the ability and confidence to make Wuxing Wusu sell two million sales!

So... In fact, even if the other party asks for a higher price, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line, Huang Dazhong will definitely nod his head here.

Since it is a scarce resource, it is of course expensive!

Why would you ask someone to make an album for you if you don't pay a heartwarming price?

But at this time, when Du Xiaoming finished speaking, his brows furrowed again. Then, he looked at Li Jinlong and asked, "Jinlong, have you been in contact with that Li Qian, has he... I mean you are in the process of contacting? Did he say anything about his thoughts on the group Five Elements Wusu? For example, about creating them and creating this album?"

"Uh..." This sentence stopped Li Jinlong from asking. For a while, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Isn't it... the way of youth and movement?"

Du Xiaoming nodded slowly, but his expression was still full of doubts.

At this time, seeing Huang Dazhong looking over, he shook his head, spread his hands and said, "Actually, that's what I asked casually. I always feel that judging from the level of the two songs he has put out so far, it is obvious that we can all I don't think he can't feel the problem that the style he sees is not uniform. But since he feels it, why did he add a nursery rhyme to this album, which is obviously going to be youthful? This... a bit Can't figure it out..."

It seemed that he was awakened by these few words, Li Jinlong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly said: "I remembered, I seem to have heard a few of their sisters mention it, it seems that Li Qian took out this nursery rhyme at that time. , A few of their sisters also had doubts, but what Li Qian told them was that they should be cultivated into national girls that all age groups like?"

"National girl?"

Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming were surprised when they heard the words.

This is so loud!

Up to now, the pattern of the entire music world is that you have the strength to sing well. And then you really get good songs again. So you can be red. Like Zhen Zhen, like Zhou Cong, like Liao Liao, it's all like this.

Therefore, strength comes first.

Obviously, from the current point of view, Li Qian has created the two songs for Wuxingwusu, not to mention the fast song "Sister and Sister Stand Up". Even the latter song "Let's Swing the Sculls", as a nursery rhyme, has a soothing and melodious rhythm, but the five girls sing in unison, which leads to no matter whether their singing skills are good or bad, after the record is made, all Let the fans not hear it.

So, when Li Qian made this record for them, he didn't emphasize singing skills at all?

Only emphasize the melody?

So how does he unify a variety of apparently incompatible styles into one album?

in a trance. Du Xiaoming only felt his heart light up, and suddenly he felt as if he had grasped a little trick.

Then. He couldn't help but ask again, "Girls of the whole people? Did he really say that?"

Li Jinlong nodded and said, "It should be right. Or...call them in and ask?"

Du Xiaoming waved his hand, frowned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and then he said to Huang Dazhong, "I should have guessed what Li Qian thought..."

Huang Dazhong and Li Jinlong heard the words and turned to look at him at the same time.

Huang Dazhong couldn't help but ask directly, "How do you say it?"

Du Xiaoming's hands that had been playing the piano for thirty years gestured unconsciously, smiled and said with the last bit of doubt: "Actually, the idea is very simple, if an album contains a lot of styles, then find one. Come out with a work that is enough to overwhelm all styles. Wouldn’t it be enough? For the whole album, I don’t care how messy your style is, I don’t care about your fast songs, slow songs, and rock and roll nursery rhymes, I’ll just use this song to the end As soon as it is released, I will calm you down directly, then ok, not only will everyone not feel that this album is messy, but instead feel that this album is rich in content..."

Huang Dazhong and Li Jinlong both gasped when they heard the words.

Huang Dazhong is okay, Li Jinlong couldn't help but say: "You mean that kind of big work that will be directly regarded as a classic as soon as it comes out? That kind of work... It's not that easy to come out, right?"

Du Xiaoming shrugged and spread his hands, "He's Li Qian! Who knows, maybe he's sure he can do it?"

Li Jinlong suddenly stopped talking when he heard the words.

Thinking about it carefully, although Li Qian has not many works so far, it seems that each of them is an extremely novel style compared to the current music scene, and each of them has considerable maturity and endurance, so... If this matter is placed on others, it will definitely be scorned, but when it is placed on Li Qian, it really makes people dare not jump out and question anything in the first place!

Although you are amazed, although you are almost intimidated, but...you can only be full of anticipation in doubt!

At this time, Huang Dazhong slowly let out a breath, and suddenly looked bright and bright, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, this is the right way, how can you release all the ultimate tricks directly from the beginning? That kid, Sure enough, he kept his back!"

Having said this, he thought about it again, couldn't help shaking his head, smiled, and said, "Let's not change a word of his conditions, Jinlong, go back to the legal department and ask them to draw up the contract. Just keep an eye on it. Son, just follow Li Qian's wishes, and once the contract is completed, you can bring it to me, and I will sign it for you! Let's give the benefits... to him!"

Du Xiaoming also smiled and said, "I really can't wait to see this album and that big song! This kid's way of thinking... is very unique!"

Hearing the words of the two bosses, Li Jinlong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

Then, as if he was blessed with a heart, he suddenly said again: "Two bosses, rest assured, I will definitely have a good relationship with Li Qian, and strive for the future... Haha!"

Du Xiaoming laughed slowly when he heard the words.

Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up, he reached out his hand in a rare way, patted Li Jinlong's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Well said, Jinlong, do this well, and win this little musical talent, it's you. One of the first feats!"

…………

Outside the audition room, there was an endless stream of people coming to the audition meeting. The sisters wanted to go in, but they soon found out that the company's President Huang and Director Du didn't come out.

Of course, they are eager to know if the company can create a new style for their new album through Li Qian, but they also know very well that it is not enough for the company to agree. Li Qian has not signed a contract with the company so far. !

So, what if this is being talked about in there?

And... almost no ifs, several people can guess that this is probably what they are talking about!

So, everyone was so anxious, but they just stood outside and waited silently.

Finally, about ten minutes later, the door of the audition room opened again, and Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming walked out one after the other.

When he came to the door, Huang Dazhong actually walked up to a few girls and said with a smile, "You guys did a good job, and these two songs are also pretty good. When I go to Jinan House again, give me a message and just say I will prepare good wine and food here at any time, and welcome Li Qian to come over at any time!"

When he was done, he turned and walked away.

A few girls stood there, dazed for a while, and no one even reacted to how much they should reply.

Then, Du Xiaoming came over again, looked at the five girls with a smile, and then said, "Hold on to that boy, if my vision is right, he can make you popular for at least ten or twenty years. !"

After speaking, he smiled and walked away.

The five girls stood there, still in a daze, and continued to look at each other.

The two big guys today... are so kind!

Then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Jinlong came out.

With a smile on his face, he glanced at Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming who were gradually moving away, smiled and said to the five girls who were looking at him blankly, "Mr. Huang did not change a word of the conditions proposed by Li Qian, and agreed to all of them. So...ha, well, you can laugh and cheer!"

"what?"

"yeah!"
