Chapter 99: Ideas for the New Album

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "I gave you a country song last time, and the response was not bad, but I still think that even if the way of country music is still popular in the short term, it certainly won't last for too long. , because with the development of the times, the development of the economy, and the entry of foreign cultures, the appetite of domestic fans is gradually changing. Everyone is more and more fond of some new things, such as I help the five elements and my elements The fast songs they made will suddenly explode in the market in 1996, or hip-hop, which is very popular abroad but very few people in China currently do it, and it is very unsuccessful. , or R&B, that is, rhythm and blues. I believe that these styles should go wider and wider in the future, but in the past two years, I think there is still a market for country songs, so... I will do it for you Song of the capital?"

Liao Liao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he subconsciously leaned over. Although the material on the chest was not too surging, as the body leaned forward, the thin linen clothes couldn't cover it, and a water drop-shaped attractive Radian comes.

Li Qian glanced at it subconsciously, his heart thumped, and he quickly sighed helplessly in his heart, knowing that tonight, in all likelihood, he would have those dreams about washing his underwear again—the days of a virgin, really It's so hard!

After sighing, he quickly diverted his attention by talking, "There are works, but you don't need to be so impatient, right? I'll just give it to you later!"

Only then did Liao Liao nod his head, and went back to sit down contentedly, but he didn't know that his random movement just now had stirred up the inner twitch of a sullen virgin.

Since Li Qian said that there is a work, it must be something he thinks can be sold, so Liao Liao is not worried about the quality problem at all.

So she asked, "What else?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "If we come again, judging from the response of "Unfinished Love" and "Half Pot Yarn", I think this type of Chinese style should gradually become popular in the market next year, so, again Make a Chinese style song?"

Liao Liao immediately nodded and said, "This is good! We must have it!"

Li Qian said "um", paused for a moment, and said, "I still have some light rock works here, and I can make another song for the new album!"

Liao Liao nodded again, "Okay!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this, "You will only say yes to what I say? Your album or mine?"

Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, and spread his hands calmly, "With you to help me worry about everything, what else do I have to say? I feel more at ease with you than with myself!"

Li Qian shook his head and smiled, thought for a while, and said, "It's a pity that you don't sing folk songs with your voice, and I think you need to sing more, so, two ballads?"

Liao Liao nodded, "No problem!"

Paused, as if he was afraid that Li Qian would feel that he was careless, he deliberately added, "I like ballads!"

Li Qian gave a "hmm" and said, "This is five songs, right? I'll add one more popular song for you, and there are four more songs. You are responsible for collecting your favorite works, or simply Just take out the song you wrote recently?"

Liao Liao quickly waved his hands when he heard the words, "Don't, don't! Compared with my own works, I still believe in your two big books! Hero, sir, how many more songs will you give me?"

Li Qian shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and said, "Then the whole album can't be my songs, right? Are you going to ask someone else to invite two songs? Or take out two songs yourself? Didn't you just say that you just wrote two songs recently?" A good piece?"

Hearing this, Liao Liao waved his hands, "No! I want yours!"

After a pause, she said again: "The one I wrote myself... I'll save it first, save it, I'll keep asking you for songs later, and I'll annoy you, then I'll use my own songs !"

Li Qian chuckled when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "That's fine! Since you want it, I'll pack it for you, and it's okay! Then there's another ballad, and that's six songs... Do you want to do rock and roll? Try it? If your voice is fully exploded, singing rock and roll should be very exciting!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao's eyes suddenly became brighter than before!

"You like rock too? Can you do rock?"

Li Qian pouted, "That's no nonsense. Although "Persistence" and "Wild Flower" are light rock, they are a bit popular, but they are not rock foundation in their bones? Why can't I do rock?"

Liao Liao clapped his hands, his eyes sparkled, and he subconsciously leaned over again, so Li Qian's eyes were forced to move again consciously or subconsciously... In short, he saw the attractive arc of water droplets again.

"Then give me two rock songs?"

Basically speaking, as long as you are a music maker, there is no one who does not love rock and roll, and it can even be said that there is no one who is not fanatical! Because music is a means of artistic expression that is released externally. It is an artistic expression that conveys emotions to the audience intuitively through sounds, musical instruments, tunes, and lyrics. Is it more extreme?

So Li Qian just smiled, lowered his head and pretended to raise his legs inadvertently in order to cover some dishonest things, and then said: "Then make two songs!"

snap!

Liao Liao looked excited and couldn't restrain himself, and slapped his hands suddenly.

"That `s a deal!"

She stretched out her hand and counted with her fingers, "Two rock songs, one country song, two folk songs, one light rock song, one Chinese style song, and... oh, right, a pop song, right? Add it all together There are only eight! What about the other two?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "It can't be weightless in proportion! Add three rock songs together... You have to know, for rock, light rock is better, but if the style is a little heavier, it will affect the music to a certain extent. The perception of young people will affect their enthusiasm for buying albums, so... well, we need to add a folk song! Then, let’s add a pop song, the popular way is the most popular way!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao thought for a while, then nodded, "Success, let's do it this way! Give me a song later, and I'll go back to Shuntian Mansion to practice singing honestly!"

Li Qian nodded and said "OK".

At this time, Qi Jie, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at this and that, and said, "You guys have reached an agreement? An album just came out like this?"

Liao Liao smiled when he heard the words, "Aren't you stupid? Let me tell you, this is with him. If it is with others, do you think an album is so easy to make? Besides, I didn't come to Jinan last time, didn't Before I met him, didn’t I only make half of that album after more than half a year, and I’m still not satisfied?”

Qi Jie nodded with a half understanding, and said "Oh".

But after a while, she turned her head to look at Liao Liao, and said, "Hey, Lao Liao, we bought your entire album in one go, you have to make an agreement with your company, the price can't be low Already!"

Liao Liao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at her stupidly, unable to speak for a long time.

Qi Jie shrugged, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just working!"

... ... ...

Talking and laughing, laughing and laughing.

As the three of them talked, they forgot the time, and when Qi Jie finally remembered to look at his watch, it was already past one o'clock in the morning—there was heavy snow falling outside the window, and the world was completely silent.

During this period, Liao Liao and Qi Jie were at odds with each other, and even verbally finalized the price for Li Qian's help in making this album: it is still divided into an agreement, less than 3 million copies, Li Qian gets 8%, 3 million to 5 million copies Zhang, take 10%, and more than 5 million, it is 12%.

Because Wu Xing Wu Su’s previous contract is compared to the previous one, this price even has the meaning of a friendly price, but considering that Liao Liao has become famous now, it is not the same as Wu Xing Wu Su, who was quite down and out at the time, so, comprehensively In the end, this price tag is basically beneficial to and acceptable to both parties.

Of course, if Liao Liao’s share agreement with Changsheng Records is included, if her next album really sells more than 5 million copies, Li Qian and Liao Liao will directly take more than 24% of the album sales. For any record company, this is definitely a big cut, so it is definitely not easy to talk about Changsheng Records.

Li Qian knew this very well, even though Liao Liao said repeatedly that she would help persuade the company, if it was not possible, she would rather reduce her share of the share and give it enough, but Li Qian still insisted that this was just a fight for The price, if Changsheng Records insists on not letting go, then the price will be gradually reduced according to the price agreed just now, or even a 2% reduction is acceptable. Anyway, we are old friends. We all want to make good music, not bad This little money.

Of course... If Changsheng Records is still reluctant to make concessions to this point, then the verbal contract will be void. After Liao Liao's contract with Changsheng Records expires, everyone can cooperate on her next album.

It was late at night, and the cooperation of the new album was basically finalized. Qi Jie and Liao Liao took Liao Liao's things and got up to leave.

Li Qian originally thought that before he left, Liao Liao would definitely open his mouth and ask himself if he wanted two songs to enjoy himself, but in fact, when the two girls were arguing with each other just now, Li Qian had been thinking about which one he should choose. a few songs. But unexpectedly, until the two of them went out, Liao Liao seemed to have forgotten about it, and didn't mention a word at all.

When they went to the opposite door, Li Qian closed the door and couldn't help sighing.

This is Liao Liao!

The more he came into contact with, the more Li Qian discovered that, despite her always joking and laughing, she seemed to have no right way of doing things. In her bones, she seemed to be that straightforward and cheerful girl from the Northeast, but in fact, she was quite delicate.

Since I offered myself a high price of 400,000 for five songs, on the one hand, I was impressed, and on the other hand, it forced Changsheng Records to be reluctant to discard the five songs bought at a high price. Up to now, although a verbal agreement has been reached on the cooperation of the new album, and the two parties can completely trust each other in this cooperation, but before the contract is signed, she is very witty and does not ask herself for the songbook...

Even Li Qian, an old bird, has to admit that Liao Liao, a girl, really makes people have to praise her for being meticulous and experienced in handling things!

So, a person can be successful in a certain industry, of course there is an opportunity factor, but even if the opportunity is excluded, the person who should be successful will still be successful!

Success never happens by chance!

Li Qian sighed, and was about to clean up his mood, wash his feet and go to bed, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He went over to open the door suspiciously, and it turned out to be Liao Liao.

"Did you forget to take something?" Li Qian asked.

Liao Liao looked embarrassed and entangled, and after a long time, he finally said in embarrassment: "Well... I really can't hold it back, although I know it's not good, but... you can even take it Can you show me a song? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll toss and turn all night and won't be able to sleep!"

Hearing this, Li Qian slightly opened his mouth in surprise.

Well, I just praised you for nothing!
