Perfect Life

After leaving for just five days, Li Jinlong returned to Jinan with a few sisters from the Wuxingwusu group. ≤≤point≤small≤say,

When he came back this time, he brought a big contract to Li Qian.

After signing the contract, Li Qian officially became the producer of the second album of Wuxing Wusu.

According to the rules of music making in China, the producer and the producer are often selected by one person, and that is the greatest power. Once the two positions are separated, it must be because of the participation of big-name musicians, then The separated producer will be fully responsible for music affairs, and has the final decision, while the producer will stand behind the scenes and be responsible for other powers other than the music content of the album, such as financial rights, personnel rights, etc.

To draw a more similar analogy, a record producer is similar to a film producer, a producer is similar to a film director, and a singer is an actor.

Of course, unlike many film directors who don’t actually have the final cut right for the release version of the movie, the producer of the album, especially the producer of many big names, such as Li Qian who has signed this contract, must have the final decision on the content of the album. right.

In short, as soon as this contract was signed, Li Jinlong changed from the immediate boss of Wuxing Wusu to the big housekeeper who served Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu, and then he was responsible for preparing and taking care of other affairs, while Wuxing Wusu was in music. The boss at the top became Li Qian.

Of course, signing this contract means that Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu have become a community of interests.

Five Elements Wusu's album sold well, and Li Qian made a fortune.

And if the album sells poorly, Li Qian may not even get a penny. I've been busy for months without talking. There are also several songs in it.

Specifically. According to the conditions proposed by Li Qian at the beginning, the other party did not change a word and implemented the contract: Calculated at a unit price of 10 yuan, if the new album sells 1 million copies and Li Qian takes five points, it will be credited to 500,000 yuan, and if it sells 2 million yuan Zhang and Li Qian took seven points and earned 1.4 million. If he sells 3 million copies, Li Qian can get ten points, that is 3 million!

As for 5 million copies... If it can really sell that number, according to the high royalty of 15 points stipulated in the contract, Li Qian's income from making this album for Wuxingwusu will be as high as 7.5 million!

This revenue model is completely different from selling out songs like how much a song costs!

Even those songwriters who are quite powerful and famous, so they can sell at relatively high prices, as long as the qualifications are not big enough to get a share of the sales, then I am afraid that he will write for several years. Dozens of works may not be able to get this number!

certainly. According to the current domestic market, even if Li Qian makes a move, even if he does everything he can, he is not sure that he can get such terrifying sales data.

Is Liu Mingliang good enough?

That is the king of the music scene, and in terms of sales, it is also absolute, but his top-level sales, that is, the album that once set a domestic record of 370,000 copies in a single week, was released in 1992, until now. , For more than three years, the sales volume is only six platinum.

Moreover, this is one of only three six-platinum albums in China.

In addition to his album, Flying Band's "Driving Pigs to the West" took eight years to get six platinum with difficulty. It took six years for Xinfu Zhao's masterpiece to get six platinum.

Further down, although there are as many as eight albums that can get the five-platinum certification, but... yes, all of them are male singers! Liu Mingliang, Xinfu Zhao, Hu Yang, Flying Band...

The highest level among female singers is Zhen Zhen's one four platinum, two triple platinum, He Runqing's two four platinum, two triple platinum, Feng Feifei's three platinum, Zhou Hao's one triple platinum.

As far as the singing group is concerned, the current highest record in China is the first album of the "Sister Tao" group of Xinda Records. However, they have only obtained the certification of the golden album after more than half a year of listing. So far, two albums have been listed. More than a year later, but there is still no news of getting a platinum album...

This is the current market situation that Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu will face next.

Of course, apart from Li Qian himself, no one would want them to make a five-platinum album. Even the sisters of the Five Elements and Wusu combination are absolutely impossible to have such extravagant expectations.

Damn, they just hope they can get a platinum certification!

If you are lucky enough to get two platinum... that means they are already red, what else do you want?

Like Liu Mingliang, like Zhao Xinfu, like the Feixiang Band, they are all phenomenal, and they belong to a period of time. It can even be said that they represent the peaks of folk songs, folk songs and rock and roll.

In the eyes of everyone, they are already impossible to surpass in their respective fields!

…………

After signing the contract and receiving his own share, Li Qian took out three new songs in one breath.

Next, his task is to listen carefully to the six songs that Li Jinlong brought over that have been done before, and try to select one or two works that can be used in the future, which can be regarded as helping Huage Records and The producer Li Jinlong minimized the previous production losses. After all... the money has been spent.

And the tasks of the Wuxing Wusu sisters are... to practice songs, practice songs, practice songs!

As for Liu Jinlong, his task is even heavier, because he is responsible for returning to Shuntianfu to do the accompaniment, um, including the accompaniment of five songs including "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "Let's Swing the Sculls" .

After all, the two songs that have been recorded before are just samples. One is the live recording of the singer with the accompaniment. Even if there is a post-production process, it is impossible to fully meet the requirements of the studio album. Over there, the musicians that Huage Records headquarters can contact are definitely of a higher level than the musicians who temporarily recruited to join the team in Jinan Prefecture, right?

So, of course, keep improving!

Of course, in fact, even the accompaniment recording. It should also be the job of the producer, Li Qian. But who let him still go to school? It was impossible to go to Shuntianfu to do this job, so he had to hand it over to Li Jinlong, who was only responsible for the review of semi-finished products.

…………

Saturday, September 11, morning.

After arriving at Laodou Records in the morning to guide the Wuxing Wusu sisters all morning, Li Qian declined the invitation of their manager Wu Min, and completely ignored Zhou Pingping, Sun Ruoxuan, Xie Bing and the others. eyes. He only left one sentence, "Don't take the opportunity to steal it, eat your apples honestly, Brother Jinlong specially told me before he left, let me help him watch you!", mercilessly pierced them I wanted to take advantage of the plan to eat with Li Qian and then take the opportunity to have a big meal, and then went downstairs and rode a bicycle to Jingsanxiaoweiliu.

When he passed by at this time, firstly, he made an appointment to have a meal at Cao Zhan, and secondly, that's right. Send songs, add invitation songs.

Send songs. It is to help Cao Zhan repay the romantic debt he owed back then, and to invite songs is his responsibility as the producer of the album Five Elements Wusu.

But this way, from Laodou Records to the bookstore, it is a full seven or eight kilometers away. He often exercises and punches, but he doesn't feel tired. It mainly takes twenty to thirty minutes. Too much time wasted.

In fact, while waiting for the red light, looking at the cars of various brands parked at the intersection, he was really moved. Before he wanted to buy a car, he felt that there was no need to buy a car. He felt that riding a bicycle was already good, mainly because of him. I didn't expect that there would be so much work coming soon, and I thought there would be a quiet year of high school in the next year.

But now, when he was in school, he was fine. He felt quite comfortable and enjoyable to ride a bicycle to and from school. The most important thing was that when he was riding a bicycle, it would give him a strange feeling of being integrated into the times and finding his youth. The comfortable feeling of the old vegetables and the young leaves.

It's just that on the weekends, I have to go back and forth to Laodou Records every day. The problem that riding a bicycle is too time-consuming has become prominent. If Lao Cao calls again and makes an appointment to watch a movie together, let's go together. Where to climb mountains, fish, etc., you can only wait for someone to drive to pick you up.

This feels a little suffocating!

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Qian decided not to buy a car for the time being before graduating from high school.

Pretending to be coercive or not pretending to be coercive, or not being a fan of being a fan, are not considered. The main reason is that the psychological stereotypes over the years are blaming you, a high school student, and driving a fart car! Do you think this is America?

About half an hour later, he rushed to the bookstore. Because of the appointment in advance, Cao Zhan had already ordered takeout for two people, so Li Qian went upstairs and handed the songbook he had prepared to Cao Zhan. Pick up chopsticks and eat.

Cao Zhan was also hungry, and was about to start eating when Li Qian arrived. He took the songbook and glanced at it, but he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "You have even prepared the arrangement?" looked carefully.

Moreover, the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

After seeing it, his fingers tapped lightly on the paper constantly, as if he was hitting the beat.

After watching the first time, he turned back to watch the second time.

After ten minutes, Li Qian finished his meal, and he was still watching with bright eyes.

Li Qian didn't see him either. He got up and opened the drawer to find his tea leaves. He boiled water and made a cup of green tea for himself. Then he sat on the sofa and drank tea to digest his food while looking at him with a smile.

After a while, he seemed to notice Li Qian's eyes, and Cao Zhan finally stopped.

He put down the songbook and looked at Li Qian, "Are you interested in Buddhist things? Have you studied it?"

Li Qian smiled, thinking that he knew you had to ask this question, so he said, "It's not about research, I know a little bit, I just think this way should be more suitable for He Runqing's way, so I tried to write a song. If you are not satisfied, then I will write in another way, and I will definitely help you repay your romantic debt!"

Cao Zhan picked up the songbook and glanced at it again. After putting it down, he finally picked up his chopsticks and said, "Not satisfied? If you are not satisfied with this level of music, let them find someone else to invite you to sing!"

Taking a chopstick, he turned his head to look at the songbook again, chewed it a few times, as if he was aftertastes something, and then nodded, "Banjusha, this name is so good! Good song!"

Li Qian smiled without saying a word, thinking that although in that time and space, this song was not really popular, but it was only limited by the shrinking domestic market and the extremely developed Internet at that time. In this era, coupled with He Runqing's sweet voice, this Chinese style may not be a hit.

Of course, this time he came here, sending this song is only one part, and more importantly, it is an invitation song.

So he smiled and said, "Brother Cao, as we said last time, we asked you to help write a song suitable for young girls to sing. How is it? Do you have any ideas?"

Asking that, Li Qianke didn't have the extravagant hope of getting the song right away.

Cao Zhan started out in rock and roll and was very famous, and as a result, he released one album and one album. Later, he returned to Jinan and switched to writing ballads, folk songs and ballads. Instead, he became famous. Of course, he is a good player in both lyrics and music. But he may not be able to write such a song suitable for a youthful girl group like Wuxingwusu, and even if he can write it, it will certainly not be so fast.

But what surprised Li Qian was that as soon as Li Qian finished speaking, Cao Zhan pointed to his desk and said confidently, "Go get it yourself!"

"It's already there?"

Li Qian was surprised to find the songbook on his desktop.

The song is called "Love Me! 》

After reading the songbook from beginning to end, Li Qian looked at Cao Zhan in surprise.

He has heard Cao Zhan's works, and many of them, from his rock works back then to the songs he wrote for others in recent years, he has heard almost all of them, the current song "Love Me!" ", but it doesn't quite resemble his style!

Cao Zhan was slow to eat, and he was only halfway through his meal. Feeling Li Qian's gaze, he chewed what was in his mouth and swallowed it. Then he took a sip of water, and then the old man said: "What is your suggestion, let me I was down-to-earth. I first went to kindergarten for a day, then went to my son's junior high school to spend a day on the playground, and played football with a bunch of boys. I wrote seven versions after coming back, and finally this one is left. I sang it to a few children, and they all said it sounded good, so I decided to give it to you!"

Li Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, it seems that Cao Zhan really showed great energy this time!

Is the last song not well-known in Liao Liao's album, so subconsciously you want to compete with yourself again?

Musicians~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not a bad thing, this kind of zeal, I want it! Especially his practice of letting go of what he wants to do immediately is something that many people who have been famous for a long time can't do at all!

So, Li Qian shook the songbook in his hand and said with a smile, "That's it!"

Then he asked, "How much?"

Cao Zhan glanced at him, chewed for a while, swallowed something, picked up the "Half Pot Yarn" songbook at hand, and asked, "How much?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, "Let them watch it!"

Cao Zhan put down the songbook, "Let them watch it!"

Li Qian laughed.
