Chapter 235 Jealous
In late spring and April, the yang energy rises, and the weather in Shuntian Mansion is no longer chilly at all.
Wu Ma packed up a few special dishes, Zou Wenhuai carried a bottle of French wine that was said to be 1983, Li Qian brought a mouthful, and everyone prepared to celebrate Zhou Mo's new album with a big sale.
The round table was set up under the grape arbor in the yard. It was noon, and the sun was just shining on people, making them feel warm. Other plants and trees in the yard are already verdant, but the pomegranate tree is just sprouting, tender, round and lovely.
Li Qian sat opposite Zou Wenhuai, and Zhou Mo sat next to Li Qian.
The three of them had smiles on their faces.
Before the main course was served, Zou Wenhuai finished pouring the wine and couldn't help raising his glass, "Come on, let's go together, congratulations to Momo for making the historic top spot in Dongguan Bookstore!"
The three glasses clinked together.
Zhou Mo took a sip, Li Qian took a big sip, and Zou Wenhuai toasted.
Putting down the cup, he saw that there was more than half of the two cups left, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you doing this? Drink!"
Zhou Mo smiled slightly, looked at him, and didn't speak. Li Qian said with a puzzled smile: "Brother Zou, isn't it normal that Mommy is at the top of the list? Why are you so excited?"
Zou Wenhuai laughed "hey", picked up the wine bottle and poured himself some wine, and said complacently, "Normal? Hehe, now, you think it's normal, but when I first started working with Momo, until Before she announced her retirement from the music industry last time, you didn’t know that even if she didn’t meet any big names, Momo’s album would be the best sold at the second place! And if there is someone else, like Zhao Xinfu, Zhen Zhen and the like, hit the same period, we can't even get into the top three!"
Speaking of this, he shook his head, with emotion in his words, "Now the direction of the wind has really changed! Looking back at the time, although Momo was always considered to be a diva-level, in the final analysis, she never showed a really strong one. But look now, as soon as the new album came out, it rushed to the top without any buffer, and it directly ranked first! You must know that in those days, Zhen Zhen was the only female singer Only He Runqing and He Runqing can be so domineering! What's more..."
He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Mo, and then whispered: "Actually, I don't think this album is well done!"
Li Qian let out a "ha" laugh and didn't make a fuss.
It wasn't until Zou Wenhuai raised his cup and came over again, the two of them touched each other, and each took a sip, Li Qian put down his cup, and then smiled and said: "Mr. People, it's not very good!"
Zou Wenhuai sighed, thought for a while, sighed again, looked helplessly at Zhou Mo, raised his glass again, and said to Li Qian, "Come on, you are no longer an outsider, you go with Brother Zou!"
Li Qian picked up the glass with a smile, turned his head and asked Zhou Mo, "Can red wine really be drunk like this?" Zou Wenhuai was also asked, "Didn't you just say that this is a good wine?"
Zou Wenhuai did not speak, but turned to look at Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo shrugged, "Wine is for drinking. What makes people happy is good wine!"
Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, "I knew you would say that! Well, Brother Zou, let's go!"
The two cups touched with a ding, and the two drank in one gulp.
The two put down their glasses, Zhou Mo had already taken the initiative to grab the wine bottle and poured wine for them.
Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhou Mo with a smile, and when she finished pouring the wine, he asked a little cautiously: "Mom, I won't say anything, and you know better than me. Or, let's try it first, you go down." An album, let Xiaoqian make a song for you?"
When Zhou Mo heard this, she raised her head and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Zou Wenhuai was a little embarrassed, and seemed to be explaining to Li Qian and Zhou Mo. He frowned and said, "Actually, in terms of level, Mr. Xie's level is indeed very high, but you have to admit that he is high, not high. In Gaoming, it is noble in elegance! The things he makes... It is still a trivial matter if it is not close to the ground. The problem is that he knows too much and is too complicated, and he seems to be unable to figure out a clear context when using it! So Listen carefully, Momo's new album, alas... so colorful!"
Li Qian smiled, and after a while, he said calmly: "The album I made for Wu Xing Wu Su and Liao Liao, which one is not colorful?"
Zou Wenhuai hurriedly said, "How can it be the same!"
While talking, he glanced at Zhoumo, and explained: "Look at the "Sound of the Waves Still" you made for Liao Liao, and then look at the two albums of Wu Xing Wu Su, "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "Sister and Sister Stand Up" "The Boy on the Opposite Looks Over", at first glance, the style of the song seems to be mixed, and the path seems to be chaotic, but if you listen carefully, you can feel it slowly. From the beginning to the end, your context is always very clear, And the theme of each of your albums has always been uniform. That sense of hearing, that feeling..."
After a pause, he sighed, and still looked at Zhou Mo, "Compared to you, I am of course an amateur in this area, but let me tell you, I have no other skills after working with Momo for so many years. After listening to it once, you will be able to guess the sales volume! If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see, it breaks 20,000 copies in a single week, I guess it’s only this week! The main reason is that everyone has been looking forward to Momo’s song for too long , and then it will drop to about 10,000 cards, and then...well, if no one hits, it can last for four or five weeks, and if someone hits, three weeks, at the top!"
Li Qian and Zhou Mo were silent when they heard the words.
At this time, Zou Wenhuai didn't know whether to say hello or to drink hi, and without pulling others, he picked up the cup and took two sips, and said helplessly: "You know, you are Zhou Mo! The timing is so good, you But I can't take the opportunity to jump up all of a sudden, it's really... a pity! Let's not talk about anything else, even if Momo can't compare with Liao Liao for the time being, everyone has seen Zhen Zhen's situation, so that's called One evening, if Momo can't even keep her grades down..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Mo suddenly said, "Why can't I compete with Liao Liao?"
Zou Wenhuai was stunned.
He was obviously a little puzzled, gesticulating, looked at Zhou Mo with a puzzled expression, and said, "Liao Liao...that's the number one person in the Chinese music scene now! Zhao Xinfu and Liu Mingliang can't sell her! Wuxingwusu If she is so popular, she will step on it as soon as she says it, so of course we can't compare with her for the time being!"
Zhou Mo looked at him, and after a while, turned to look at Li Qian again, and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"
This question is not easy to answer.
In terms of album sales, regardless of Zhou Mo's comeback momentum, the album sales are quite good, even far surpassing her best sales before she quit the music scene, but she is really not comparable to Liao Liao.
To be honest, the sales volume of the two Zhou Mos is probably not as good as that of one Liao Liao.
But, she asked like this, can you tell the truth?
What's more, no one knows better than her about the little ambiguity between Liao Liao and himself. If you say that Zhou Mo will be jealous, Li Qian doesn't believe it, but if you say that a woman can't be jealous , he didn't quite believe it either!
Don't think that she is sometimes so refreshing that she doesn't look like a woman, but if you look carefully, she is more feminine than most women.
So after thinking about it, Li Qian smiled and said, "Why do you want to compare sales with her?" The implication is, of course, singers, sales are only a one-sided measure, you have to compare singing skills with Liao Liao .
Both Zhou Mo and Zou Wenhuai understood in seconds.
So Zhou Mo glanced at him when he heard the words, and then looked at Zou Wenhuai.
Of these two men, one is the manager who has supported and helped her through the journey for many years. Although they often disagree with each other, their relationship has long been as close as buddies, and the other is simply her favorite man.
In front of the two of them, oh, by the way, of course there is also Wu Ma.
In front of the three of them, it must be the time when Zhou Mo is most willing to open her heart, and it is also the time when she is most willing to do whatever she wants.
So, she said to Zou Wenhuai: "When the next album is released, I will make an appointment with Qian to release the album on the same day as Liao Liao, okay?"
She didn't care about it herself, but Zou Wenhuai's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly raised her hands in surrender, "Don't, don't, can I make a mistake? Mommy, let's stop making trouble, okay?"
Zhou Mo turned her head and saw that Li Qian's face was also a little surprised. She proudly raised her wine glass, suddenly overflowing with pride, "Come on, you all wish me to kill Liao Liao in my next album!"
The two men did not dare to toast for a long time, but Zhou Mo didn't pay attention, but happily drank it all by herself.
Putting down the wine glass, she smacked it, and said to Li Qian: "It's not as good as West Wind!" Then she saw that the wine in the two men's glasses hadn't touched, she was a little stunned, "Why don't you drink it?"
Zou Wenhuai asked hesitantly: "Mom, what you said...are you serious?"
Zhou Mo looked at Zou Wenhuai like a fool, "Of course it's true!"
Zou Wenhuai slapped his forehead with a "pop", "Got it!"
After a pause, he smiled wryly, took a sip from his cup, and spread his hands to Li Qian, "You...you see it? Do you know how I messed around in the past few years? Let me say, you now... Shouldn't you care? She's your woman after all!"
To be honest, Li Qian is also a little bit big.
He understood very well what Zou Wenhuai meant by insisting on drinking this meal, and he was very happy from the bottom of his heart to have such a manager who wholeheartedly helped Zhou Moo. So, even though he had agreed with Zhou Mo earlier that everyone would do their own things in music and not interfere with each other, at this time, he still felt that as long as Zhou Mo was willing, he would at least help her make a song. After all, it's my own woman, so if you don't want to do it for anyone, you have to do it for her!
But even he didn't expect that such a simple proposal by Zou Wenhuai, after going around several rounds of prodding and probing, turned out to be self-defeating—Zhou Mo must have figured out Zou Wenhuai's meaning in the blink of an eye. But it was because she understood it so easily, so she probably suddenly found it fun, so she actually wanted to compete with Liao Liao for sales!
In today's domestic music scene, this idea is simply courting death!
But Zhou Mo obviously didn't care about this.
For her, fun is enough. It doesn't matter if the album sells more or less.
Li Qian thought for a while, and suddenly laughed.
After a pause, he said helplessly to Zou Wenhuai: "If you really want to talk about singing skills, Momo and Liao Liao are on the same level, and each has its own strengths. It's hard to say who is worse than the other. It's a tie. If you want to talk about making music, especially pop music, I don't need to underestimate myself... Xie Ming is far inferior to me! But when it comes to selling albums, I am not as good as Sony, and I am far behind!"
Speaking of which, he frowned, turned to look at Zhou Mo, and said, "If you really want to compare, I can tell you right now that Liao Liao's new album is almost finished. I did it, not bragging. , the quality is definitely high enough, higher than the quality of your album. But if nothing unexpected happens, her new album probably won't be able to sell you!"
Li Qian spread his hands and said helplessly, "This...how does it compare?"
Zhou Mo looked at him firmly after hearing the words, and suddenly said after a while: "I'm a little jealous."
Li Qian was stunned.
Zou Wenhuai took a sip of wine stuck in his throat, and suddenly coughed it out, so he didn't spray it on the table.
Then, he coughed a few times to calm down, put down his wine glass and couldn't help shouting: "Mama Wu, Mama Wu? Where are the chopsticks?"
... ... ...
It is indeed incomparable.
Zhou Mo is an individualistic, maverick spokesperson. Li Junru and the like seem to have enough personality, but in the eyes of mature fans, she is just a naive little girl. In front of Zhou Mo, that is at best A little sister.
And Liao Liao is the queen of all the people who knows everything in the domestic music scene.
Young and beautiful, with a strong aura, a magnificent singing style, and strong singing skills-she has almost no shortcomings.
However, when it comes to comparing sales, Li Qian has no confidence at all.
Of course, the good thing is that now he and Liao Liao, including He Runqing, have completely put aside the sales magic. Everyone has only one idea now, and that is to make the album well!
He Runqing's new album started late, but right now He Runqing is in a dormant period, hardly disturbed by any other work or activities, plus her sudden outbreak, so the progress has always been extremely fast, so that she finally caught up with the Liao Liao completed the recording of the new album before. Although Liao Liao's new album was a bit slow, it was officially recorded in late April.
Then, when Zhou Mo's new album was selling well, Li Qian picked up the camera and began to take photos for the cover and inside pages of the new album for the two queens.
And at this time, within the major record companies in Shuntianfu, anyone who is a little sensitive has already discovered that, as the general manager of Li Qian's studio, Qi Jie, who was running back and forth between various companies a while ago, unexpectedly is suddenly disappeared.
... ... ...
Fuzhou Prefecture, airport, waiting room.
Just finished talking with someone on the phone, put away the phone, Qi Jie was holding a cup of hot soy milk bought by the accompanying staff, and before she could drink it, she fell asleep on the seat tilted.
Huang Wenjuan took out a thin blanket from the suitcase with some distress, and covered her carefully. Then he ran outside and quickly sent a text message with his fingers.
A minute later, there was a ding, and a text message came back.
"I can't persuade her, I know her better than you."
