Chapter 166 Visiting Class
The next morning, Li Qian met their four leading male singers in the conference room of Changsheng Records.
Zhou Feng, Diao Yixiong, Huang Mai, Lin Xiufeng.
Among them, Zhou Feng should be regarded as the real pillar of Changsheng Records before the rise of Liao Liao. He was discovered by Chen Changsheng and became popular with the other hand. Before Liao Liao became popular, he was always Chen Changsheng's most proud capital. He is very handsome, his voice is very delicate, and he takes a slow and lyrical way. He is 28 years old this year. He has debuted for six years and released five studio albums. The highest one has won double platinum. To successfully get a platinum record, even if you look at the entire domestic music scene, it is an absolute strength.
According to Liao Liao, in the past two years, he has always had the idea of wanting to change jobs, because in fact, everyone knows that he has almost reached the peak in Changsheng Records, and he wants to improve his status in the world and album sales, you have to rely on the platforms of those big record companies, but Chen Changsheng is too smart and good at attracting people, so he has not been able to save face and dance hard, but Liao Liao was born , It also gave Chen Changsheng a good excuse to keep people - you see, as long as the songs are good enough, small companies can produce big singers.
But this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of getting four works from Li Qian, Chen Changsheng took the knife and directly offered to renew his contract for three albums, but he still gritted his teeth just for one song by Li Qian. Signed the contract.
Diao Yixiong is a little older, and it is said that he has made his debut for more than ten years. Not long after Changsheng Records was founded, Chen Changsheng spent a lot of money to poach them from other record companies. Before Zhou Feng, the entire Changsheng Records was led by him. . In the past few years, he has been going downhill in his thirties, and he probably has no intention of continuing to work hard. Therefore, according to Liao Liao, he has started to work as the company's deputy art director in the past six months. It seems that he is ready It turned to the backstage, but this time he got four songs from Li Qian, even if he had no ambitions anymore, he still had to stand up and share one of them as a matter of course.
After all, if he can make another fire at the end, maybe he can still have a few years of old time to make money happily. There is a lot of money to be made, of course he is still unwilling to just retreat behind the scenes.
You know, as a behind-the-scenes musician, unless you are a big name who can get a share, the income of the singers standing at the front is really incomparable.
Huang Mai is quite special. He is about the same age as Diao Yixiong, but he debuted only four or five years ago, even later than Zhou Feng. It is said that he was originally an underground singer, but later Chen Changsheng fell in love with his hoarse voice, so he made his debut He signed it and was going to make an album to try, but he didn't expect it to be an instant hit, and the first album went platinum smoothly.
Although he has released three albums in the past few years since his debut, and that is only the platinum record, but in a medium-sized record company like Changsheng Records, it is enough to become one of the four heavenly kings.
As for Lin Xiufeng, he debuted only a year earlier than Liao Liao, and he has only released two albums so far, but the second album has successfully won a platinum record, and his image of a vagabond seems to be very popular with some people. It is said that Chen Changsheng is very optimistic about his future development.
In this way, the four of them stood together and basically wiped out the singer reserve of Changsheng Records.
The last time I came here, Li Qian mainly came to see Liao Liao, so I only got to know the four people initially, and I didn't even leave a deep impression on them. I didn't even know their names when they met, but this time, Chen Chang Sheng and Liao Liao accompanied them, and they chatted for a while in the conference room. Basically, Li Qian was in charge of asking questions and listening. The four of them talked for a while, trying to let Li Qian understand his singing style as soon as possible, Features and style.
Of course, what really plays a decisive role in the end is singing.
After chatting in the meeting room for about an hour, everyone changed places and came to the practice room.
If you want a guitar, you have a guitar, and if you want a piano, you have a piano. Four people take turns to play two to three songs, trying to show their strengths and strengths in front of Li Qian as much as possible, so that Li Qian can tailor it for them. Come out with quality products.
Li Qian held a small notebook in his hand. He was chatting and memorizing it just now, but now he is listening and memorizing it. Others are embarrassed to read it, but Liao Liao didn't care, so he just turned his head to read——
Zhou Feng, niche, narcissistic.
Diao Yixiong, stable and powerful.
Huang Mai, vicissitudes, old man.
Lin Xiufeng, prodigal son, love song.
Liao Liao almost burst out laughing on the spot - if this was seen by a few people who were singing emotionally on the opposite side, I don't know if they would spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot - especially Zhou Feng.
Li Qian frowned and glanced at her, and she quickly sat down obediently.
After all four of them have sung, Li Qian said that he already knows the song, and will write the song in the near future, and it will be delivered by the end of September at the latest. In October, he will be in charge of producing and recording these songs.
With his words, no matter whether it was Chen Changsheng or Zhou Feng, they were all determined.
There is no doubt that the theme song of the next album will be there.
Seeing that it was noon, Chen Changsheng naturally wanted to treat everyone, but Li Qian resolutely refused, and then left, took Liao Liao's new Mercedes-Benz to go around the construction site, carefully inspected the quality of the decoration and construction, and then Qi Jie was in charge of guiding the way, and they arrived at the house that Qi Jie rented for Li Qian.
Li Qian saw that the house had basically prepared all the things needed for life, so he asked Qi Jie for the key and announced that he would officially move in - of course, he had to get familiar with the address of the new house slowly.
After finishing the work, everyone found a place to have a meal, Li Qian left, drove his off-road vehicle, and went straight to Huairou Film and Television City.
... ... ...
After two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time.
After Li Qian called, he parked the car and walked to the gate to wait.
It didn't take long for the two girls to run out holding hands. When they saw Li Qian standing at the door, Wang Jinglu simply threw Shen Tiantian away and ran over by herself, and then abruptly took a step in front of Li Qian. He stopped at the place, looked at Li Qian with a smile, and said, "You are so tanned!"
Li Qian smiled and opened his arms.
She cautiously got into Li Qian's arms, and carefully sniffed the familiar and unfamiliar breath on Li Qian's body.
It lasted about ten seconds, until she heard Shen Tiantian's footsteps behind her, and then she blushed and broke away from Li Qian's arm, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't go out with you, I can't Don't get so tan."
Then she turned her head and took Shen Tiantian's hand, saying, "Hey, my best friend and business partner now, Ms. Shen Tiantian."
Li Qian smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hi Tiantian, I've heard Xiaolu mention you many times!"
Shen Tiantian has been looking at Li Qian curiously. Seeing him stretching out his hand, she shook hands with him readily and said, "I've heard your name for a long time!" Letting go, she didn't avoid Li Qian. Qian Qian said to Wang Jinglu: "The image is perfect, except for a little dark, there are no shortcomings... Well, I admit that you are beautiful as a rich man!"
Li Qian was a little puzzled, but Wang Jinglu turned around and hit her, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Knowing that it was a small joke between the two girls, Li Qian just laughed it off and just asked Wang Jinglu, "Do you have a show this afternoon? Shall we go back to the city now?"
The two girls said in unison: "Yes."
Wang Jinglu added, "The job that our group leader just took over yesterday is still playing the role of the little maid, just a few shots, it will be my turn later, and it will be over soon."
Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Okay, then you shoot yours, and I will wait by the side, is that okay?"
Wang Jinglu nodded excitedly at first, but quickly said, "I will definitely be nervous when you are by my side."
Li Qian smiled, "That's just right, you get used to it first, get used to it, and you won't be nervous in the future, otherwise you will still be nervous in the future."
After saying this, he habitually took out his ID card, and was about to go through the formalities of visiting the site when his cell phone rang suddenly. He took out his cell phone and connected it, and Qi Jie's voice sounded——
"I can't, I'm about to die. In less than an hour since you left, at least 20 calls came in. The news spread too fast. Sony, Huage, Xinda, Times... Many record companies, and several singers, everyone already knows that you have returned to Shuntian Mansion, and they all called, look... what should I do?"
I don't know if it's because I was in a hurry or what, this time Qi Jie's voice was a bit loud, so that Shen Tiantian and Wang Jinglu next to me could hear it clearly. Hearing this for a while, she couldn't help turning her head and asking Wang Jinglu, "The record company?" Wang Jinglu shook her head, smiled and said nothing.
Li Qian thought for a while and asked, "How did you answer?"
Qi Jie immediately said: "I answered according to what you said. I said that you just came here to pick up your girlfriend. After picking up your girlfriend, you will go back to Jinan Mansion. You won't come back until school starts. But , They don’t believe it! Especially the news should come from Changsheng Records. Everyone knows that you met the four male singers from Changsheng Records in the morning, and they all guessed that you are going to write songs for them. Some people even asked me if you decided to invest in Changsheng Records... You don’t know, someone told me repeatedly that they hoped that you could even listen to their conditions before investing in Changsheng Records, no matter what Changsheng Records gave Conditions, they can guarantee that they will definitely be more favorable..."
Li Qian listened and couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his brows - this is really a bit difficult.
But after thinking about it, he still said: "Let them go, guess what you like, I definitely don't have time to see them now, so you just try to explain it. No matter what happens, wait until September to deal with it."
Since Li Qian said it with such certainty, Qi Jie didn't have another word. The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
At this time, Shen Tiantian, who had been staring at him all the time and listening to the phone calls carefully, couldn't help but asked, "Hey, handsome guy, is your family rich?"
Li Qian was taken aback by her question, then smiled, "My family? Very poor..."
Shen Tiantian let out a "tss", "I believe you will be surprised!"
... ... ...
The new drama that Wang Jinglu and Shen Tiantian took over is another costume drama, but it is said that this time it is a historical drama.
Of course, in fact, any drama has no effect on them, because they just show a few faces in the camera and act as a background wall, and even the Xing Ye who plays the soldier in the 83 version of Shooting Condors can't compare.
But a role is a role, and the two girls put on their costumes and waited earnestly. Although they were sweating from the heat, they were still excited and serious.
Since the last time Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan showed up, they met Wang Jinglu by coincidence, and they were directly put into the crew of "Swordsman of the Tang Dynasty", these two young and beautiful girls are here The group leaders have gained some popularity, and no one would dare to provoke them. Even their group leader named Lao Meng worked hard to help the two of them play. After finishing "The Swordsman of the Tang Dynasty", in less than half a month, the two girls have been stuffed into three crews, and today's one is already the fourth.
Of course, Huairou Film and Television City is a place where costume dramas are filmed, so regardless of whether it is historical drama, romantic drama or martial arts drama, their roles in the drama are all maids, court ladies and the like.
Li Qian found a shady place and waited patiently for them to play. At the same time, he also carefully observed the shooting situation of the crew here—whether in the past life or in this life, the shooting quality and shooting requirements of TV dramas are the same as movies. No comparison. Needless to say, art design, costume configuration, camera lens, etc., these technical aspects, if we just talk about the performance of actors, the requirements are also very different.
Basically, when making a movie, no matter how high the level of the actors is, there is rarely a so-called one pass, tone, speed of speech, facial expressions, movements, etc., all of which, the director will pick out everything very carefully, and it is almost impossible. , but the requirements for TV drama performances are much simpler. As long as you do what the director asks, then it is basically OK. Not to mention extras like Wang Jinglu and Shen Tiantian, even leading actors and actresses rarely pick too much detail.
Even, as far as the last time and space Li Qian has experienced, for a long period of time, all the big-selling TV dramas focused on the male protagonist roaring and the female protagonist crying-don’t look down on others, TV dramas Audience groups, whether they are the elderly, children, or teenagers, are destined to be more receptive to such straightforward performances.
In short, audiences require you to be pompous.
So for a long time, whoever's performance is more exaggerated will be popular.
So, in the film and television industry, if a movie star is a singer who releases records and albums, then a TV star is probably a singer in bars and nightclubs. If the former is popular, it is called a superstar, and one album can last a lifetime, while the latter, no matter how popular you are, you are still an underground singer.
Li Qian had acted in TV dramas in his previous life, and also appeared in a few movies, but in the final analysis, he is actually a person in the TV circle.
Of course, in this life, although it is estimated that he will start off with relatively easy TV dramas, but if the TV dramas are exhausted, he will prepare to shoot a few movies. Making movies can become popular in the entire pan-Chinese cultural circle, and even be popular in the world. It is Li Qian's ultimate goal to snipe Hollywood movies within a certain range, or even to fight against good Chinese movies.
Therefore, it is not impossible to do group performances and get used to the set, but Li Qian obviously will not let Wang Jinglu stick in the TV circle like this.
