Chapter 169 Vertical Flag

Li Qian only passed five days of pleasant days.

On the first day, he ate, ate, ate.

The next day, the father and father went out fishing for an afternoon, and caught three big fish, and released all the other small fish. After I came back, in Li Ma's words, it was worth two yuan and five, which was definitely not enough for gas.

On the third day, it was father and son again, who drove more than 200 kilometers and returned to Dad Li's hometown.

On the fourth day, return.

On the fifth day, Li Qian accompanied his parents to the top of Qianfo Mountain and had a self-service barbecue on the mountain.

When he got home in the afternoon, Li Qian obviously found that the atmosphere was not right. His mother was a little silent, not at all happy after a day out, while his father was always smiling, indescribably weird.

After dinner, Li's father stopped Li Qian, and Li's mother didn't go to pack her things, she just sat beside her with red eyes. Dad Li smiled, and said, "It's fine, come back and live for a few days, it's fine! You don't have one thing on your body. Even if school doesn't start, there are so many things waiting for you. You don't need to accompany me." Follow us!"

After a pause, he proudly said: "This other family's child grows up and is going to fly out. Parents are very worried. They are afraid of being disadvantaged, afraid of not having enough food and clothing. Your mother and I... Haha, don't worry!"

Speaking of which, he took out the cigarette case, took out one himself, looked up at Li Qian, thought for a while, and then took out one and handed it to him. Li Qian was a little stunned, and Father Li smiled and said, "You thought there was no one?" Does anyone know? Hehe, your mother dug out half a pack of cigarettes under your pillow, and I stuffed them back in for you. Come on, Dad knows, you want to make music, you have to protect your throat, I’m sure you know how to restrain yourself, usually I don’t even know how to smoke, come on, come on one.”

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, took it, picked up the lighter, and lit it for his father first, then hesitated for a while, didn't light it, put it on his nose and sniffed it twice, and put it on the table.

Father Li took two sips, flattered and smiling, and said, "I thought I could help a little with what you did, but then I figured it out. I am just a poor teacher. Xu Literati, in fact, is very sour, it's just a little thing pulled out of the pile of old papers, and he is complacent!"

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "You are different from Dad. Your stuff expresses the soul alone. No matter what aspect of the work, let's not talk about the tune. Dad doesn't understand. Just talking about the words, you have already surpassed Dad. How much height do you know! So, even if Dad wants to help, he can’t help much! After that, you really have to leave Mom and Dad and go out on your own, and Dad has nothing to tell you, just a little, don’t worry , keep your pace, ah! If you are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes! Remember?"

Mama Li was already crying.

Li Qian nodded with red eyes.

Father Li blinked and puffed on a cigarette, the smoke soon buried his entire face in it.

After a while, he turned to look at Mama Li, "Why are you crying!"

Mama Li's voice was a little softer, but she was still crying.

Father Li's eyes were a little red unconsciously.

After a pause, he said: "Your mother and I...we are still young, and you know that our health is also very good! This family now has a house to live in, a car to drive, and we both have a lot of savings! You are here Outside, if you miss your parents, remember to call frequently, and if you don't have time, you don't have to come back every now and then... ah!"

Li Qian raised his head and took a deep breath.

Wiping his eyes and sniffing, he nodded.

Father Li laughed out loud, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Li Qian's head, with an indescribably kind expression on his face, as if his son was still that naughty boy.

This feeling, no matter to Li's father or to Li Qian, is a little strange, but also a little familiar. Li's hand was very slow, and he touched it lightly a few times, but then took it back dejectedly.

He seemed a little proud, but also a little bit reluctant. He gestured with his hands and said, "It seems that you were only as tall as yesterday. In the blink of an eye, you are going to go to college! Alas, if you don't think about it deeply, you will not be able to see it." I don't think so, think about it carefully..."

Having said that, he took a deep breath, turned to look at Mama Li, "Still crying, clean up the dishes on this table!"

At this time, saying something like "I don't want to leave" is too pretentious and unrealistic for Li Qian, so he smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, I will definitely come back often in the future !"

Father Li smiled when he heard the words, turned to look at Li Qian, and said, "Pack up your things, when you wake up, you go!"

... ... ...

In the morning of the next day, after throwing several large bags such as Li's mother's packed luggage and admission notice into the trunk, Li Qian said goodbye to his parents, drove his off-road vehicle, and drove out slowly. Shengshi Garden District.

He made a detour and rushed to the Buwen Bookstore, sat with Cao Zhan for half an hour, and then he set off again and went straight to Shuntian Mansion.

... ... ...

"Hello, is this Mr. Sun from Times Records? I'm Li Qian's manager, and my name is Qi Jie... Well, yes, it's me. You called a few days ago, and Li Qian was not in Shuntian Mansion at the time, so now He came back, and I told him about your call, and he asked me to thank you for your attention... Yes, yes, he is back! Because he is about to start school! Well, this is Mr. Sun, where is Li Qian? , I am preparing for a studio recently... Yes, the place has been bought and is being renovated, so Li Qian said, I am really sorry that I failed your kindness. But he also said that although he has to start work room, but we still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, I hope you... yes, yes, um, yes, I will definitely convey your thoughts to him..."

"Hi, hello, is it Elite Records? I'll find you Mr. He, oh, you're not here... Oh, hello, Ms. Sun, I'm Li Qian's manager... Yes, yes, that's right, Last time Mr. He called to discuss some matters, but Li Qian was out at the time and didn’t come back until now... Well, okay, please, please let me know when Mr. Sun comes back, and I will call him again... ..."

"Hi, hello, is this a motor record?..."

What Dad Li said is actually true, Li Qian really has a lot of things to deal with.

In fact, any one of these things may be more important than the fact that he is about to face the start of school.

This time when he came to Shuntian Mansion, he was going to set up camp here.

In other words, the days of wandering around the periphery of the entire music circle for more than a year in the past are about to come to an end completely now, and Li Qian is about to formally enter this big circle with mixed fish and dragons.

However, although there were many things to do, Li Qian already had a plan in mind, so it didn't take too much effort to deal with them.

In short, no matter who replies, one theme is: Li Qian's studio is about to be established!

First of all, the simplest thing is the musicians in the circle. Although many people called Qi Jie and said they wanted to communicate with Li Qian when Li Qian had time, Li Qian told Qi Jie directly. Ask her to call back one by one, and say that she also wants to communicate with them. If there are gatherings or seminars in the industry in the future, I hope I can inform myself. I am willing to go and learn more from the seniors. , Then, I am preparing for the studio. When the studio is established in the future, I welcome them to come and sit down when they have time.

In short, put on the attitude of a junior, the lower the attitude, the better, and the more open the better, there is only one message that needs to be conveyed - I am the same as you, I am not different, I am not that individual, So I would love to play with you.

Then, this piece is considered complete.

The second is the record companies in the circle, this is easy to deal with, or call back one by one, the main idea is that Li Qian's studio is in preparation, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

In this way, the other party will naturally know about the invitation to be the music director, so there is no need to mention it.

Because Li Qian has already set up a separate portal.

In fact, Li Qian knew very well in his heart that even if he didn't say anything, according to the smoothness of information transmission in this circle, it is estimated that many people in the circle already knew about his purchase of a house and decoration in the East Fourth Ring Road. Now that he knew about it, it was no longer a secret that he wanted to build a studio, so he just took this opportunity to put the flag out.

Of course, Qi Jie needs to make these calls.

These calls alone are enough for her to make a full day.

Then, after dealing with those people and things that have never been in contact with before, the next thing has to be handled in a little more detail.

The first is Sony Records.

A music director, Xie Mingyuan, and a general manager, Watanabe Kazuichi, all asked to meet, and the latter also asked to keep it a secret. In this case, even Qi Jie could guess something when he first received the call, let alone Li who had her reminder. modest.

Therefore, it was Qi Jie who was in charge of calling back. Li Qian was about to start school soon, and there was still a lot of work waiting to be done. The main reason was that his personal studio was under construction, so he couldn't spare the time for now. Then ... At the end of September, do you have time?

In this way, the meeting time can be postponed for a while without offending others, and it will be done.

Anyway, recently it is said that He Runqing is negotiating with Sony Records to buy out the rest of the contract. It is estimated that both Xie Mingyuan and Watanabe Kazuichi are struggling. It is estimated that Li Qian took the initiative to make an appointment with them at the end of September. They've got their hands full!

Then, there are Huage Records and Wuxingwusu.

As soon as Li Qian made his debut in Shuntian Mansion a few days ago, when he received the news, he immediately called Qi Jie. The love has obviously reached a certain level, and the attitude is extremely low-even if it is only out of the consideration of interests, they will never be willing to let the five elements and my principles sink like this.

It's just that, after thinking about it, Li Qian felt that it wasn't too late!

So... keep hanging!

Of course, the other party has already expressed a very strong attitude of seeking cooperation, and this attitude is basically tantamount to admitting a mistake, which means that the next album is already willing to be slaughtered, so even if you want to continue to hang on, you can't Do things too hard directly...

So, I'm sorry, Li Qian has been really busy recently, and he himself basically agrees with the cooperation with Wuxingwusu, but I'm afraid he will have to be busy for a while before he thinks about it.

It means-you continue to wait!

Well, all these things have been dealt with, and then there is only a little tail with Changsheng Records.

That is the title song written for the four leading male singers over there.

Almost without much hesitation, Li Qian chose a song for each of them based on his understanding of their respective voices.

First of all, among these four works, there must be one that can be guaranteed to be popular all over the country.

Among the four of them, after analysis, Li Qian finally decided to give the most important song to Lin Xiufeng, who was obviously going to follow the route of the prodigal son's love song. So, it doesn’t matter even if the song for the others is a little bit worse, but the song for him must be popular—don’t say anything else, don’t say anything about digging up Liao Liao and leaving, so I need to make up for it. , even if it is purely for the sake of being a gold medal pusher and gold medal producer in the industry, this song must be selected as a work that has been popular all over the country, so as to ensure that it will be popular when it is released, so as not to smash the brand.

Therefore, the song Li Qian prepared for him was "Wandering Song".

This song, if you want to call it a classic, doesn’t quite count, but it definitely fits the current social background of the 90s in time and space. With the acceleration of economic development and the deepening of social integration, the flow of talents in the entire society is very frequent, resulting in a large number of Many people left their hometowns to develop abroad, so... classics are not classics, and they are not important. As long as everyone needs and has similar psychological demands, then this song can be guaranteed to be the same as the time and space that Li Qian experienced, and it will be popular!

As for whether Lin Xiufeng can continue to follow his original path of the prodigal son's love song after singing this song, that's really out of Li Qian's control. But thinking about it carefully, although the work "Wandering Song" has extremely strong attributes, it is quite close to his own way. It only has benefits and bonuses for him, and it should not have any negative effects. And... Li Qian still remembers a few of the works of the original author of "Wandering Songs", at worst, he will just sell them to him when the time comes.

It's hard to say anything else, with this song, at least it's enough for him to be popular for a whole year.

And then... Zhou Feng.

He is a typical niche student, not only is he handsome, but his voice is quite soft and slightly thin. As a male voice, the bass is quite sloppy, but the treble is quite beautiful. Moreover, because he is the top singer of Changsheng Records, Liao Liao has become an absolute pillar after leaving. Therefore, it is necessary to let him maintain his image as a niche and ensure the quality of songs. Li Qian was a little reluctant to give the song to him, so he finally decided to show "I Think I Am the Sea".

As for the remaining two, Diao Yixiong is an old singer with excellent singing skills, a very steady person, a very stable voice, and good explosive power. Li Qian chose him a song that was also popular all over the country in another time and space. Song, "Friends (Zang Version)".

As for Huang Mai, his voice is very characteristic, a little hoarse, with a special taste of vicissitudes, so the selection of songs must also rely on this aspect, and it must be a work with a story.

But in Li Qian's opinion, although none of the three songs listed above are qualified to be called classics, they are all guaranteed to be popular, especially "Wandering Song" and "Friends", which have become popular all over the country Yes, so when it was Huang Mai's turn, Li Qian felt a little stingy. But in the end, he still felt that after all, he could get to where he is today, no matter whether he pinched his nose and admitted that Liao Liao would release an album with the work of this unknown newcomer, or later agreed to use Liao Liao's new album to release the album. Sniping the Five Elements and My Su, after all, I still owe Chen Changsheng a little love - of course, the popularity of Liao Liao's two albums has made him a lot of money, so in fact Li Qian doesn't owe him anything, it's just his heart. Just a little tangled.

Therefore, the final work Li Qian prepared for Huang Mai was "Big Leather Shoes".

There is no doubt that this is another song that was sung in the streets and alleys in another time and space.

The lyrics need to be slightly revised, they may not fit the historical sentiments of the people at that time as well as the original, but the rhythm is there, and Li Qian feels that the lyrics after his changes are also above the standard, so even if it is not up to the original song As high as it should be, but at least a fire should be fine.

Li Qian has always done a complete set of things. After choosing the songs, he returned to Shuntian Mansion. It only took a few days to complete the arrangement, and then he went to Changsheng Records to record the four songs. The first work was handed over to Chen Changsheng along with the arrangement.

There is no doubt that the works are all good works, not only the singer himself, but also the professional producers and musicians of Changsheng Records. They all know the goods. Once the works are in hand, everyone passes them on to each other and soon expresses their satisfaction ——Of course, judging from Li Qian’s past achievements, even if some of them don’t think these works are so good, no one will be stupid enough to directly question the quality of Li Qian’s works before getting feedback from the market .

So, the next step was simple. Li Qian quickly made an agreement with the other party that when the four of them practiced the song well and the accompaniment was ready, they could start recording, and he would be in charge of the whole process of production.

After finishing all this work, in fact, there are only a few days left before the start date of September 1st.

For the decoration of the studio, the main project has already begun to finish, and the next step is some tedious and trivial details. Liao Liao went out to do commercial performances, and it happened that Li Qian went to look around every day.

At this time, Li Qianman thought that everything was almost settled, and he just waited for the studio to open after the renovation was completed, but then, he received a call from someone he hadn't contacted for a long time Telephone.

So, he suddenly understood that his busyness had only just begun.

Well, five thousand words.
