Chapter Eighty-Four: Jealousy

In late spring and April, the yang energy is rising, and the weather in Shuntianfu has not the slightest chill.

Wu's mother packed up a few specialty dishes, Zou Wenhuai carried a bottle of French wine that was said to be 83 years old, Li Qian brought a mouth, and everyone was ready to celebrate the big sales of Zhou Yan's new album.

The round table was spread out under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and it was noon, and the sun was just right, shining on people, warm. The other plants and trees in the yard have seen verdant, but the pomegranate tree is the first to sprout, delicate and tender, round and lovely.

Li Qian sat opposite Zou Wenhuai, and Zhou Yan sat next to Li Qian.

The three of them had a lot of smiles on their faces.

Without waiting for the main dish to come up, Zou Wenhuai finished pouring the wine and couldn't help but raise his glass, "Come, let's go and congratulate Yan Yan on her historic climb to the top of the Dongguan Bookstore!"

The cups of the three of them clinked and touched.

Zhou Yan stopped at a shallow taste, Li Qian took a big sip, and Zou Wenhuai toasted.

Putting down the cup, he saw that there was still half of the two people left in the cup, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you drinking!"

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, looked at him, and did not speak. Li Qian smiled a little puzzled: "Brother Zou, isn't it normal for your sister-in-law to be at the top of the list, why are you so excited?"

Zou Wenhuai laughed "hey", picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for himself, and said proudly: "Normal? Hehe, put it aside now, you think it's normal, but when I first started working with my sister-in-law, until she announced her retirement from the music scene last time, you don't know, even if she didn't meet any big names, her album would have sold to the second place! We can't even get into the top three!"

Speaking of which. He shook his head. Looking back at the past, although she has always been considered a diva, in the final analysis, she has never produced really good results! But you see now, as soon as this new album comes up, it rushes up with a swish, without the slightest buffer. You must know that in those days, only Zhen Zhen and He Runqing could be so domineering among female singers! Not to mention ......"

He hesitated, looked at Zhou Yan, and then whispered: "Actually, I don't think this album is doing well!"

Li Qian laughed "ha", not stubble.

It wasn't until Zou Wenhuai raised his glass again and came over, the two touched it, each took a sip, Li Qian put down the cup, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Xie seems to have made a lot of effort for this album, right? It's not good!"

Zou Wenhuai sighed and thought about it. sighed again, glanced at Zhou Yan helplessly, and actually raised the cup again, and said to Li Qian: "Come, you are not an outsider anymore, you accompany Brother Zou to go!"

Li Qian smiled and picked up the glass, turned his head and asked Zhou Yan, "Can red wine really be drunk one by one like this?" and asked Zou Wenhuai, "Didn't you just say what kind of good wine this is?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan shrugged, "Wine is used to drink, and what makes people happy is good wine!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this, "I knew you would say that! Okay, Brother Zou, let's go!"

The two cups clinked and touched, and the two drank it all.

The two put down their glasses, and Zhou Yan had already taken the initiative to scoop up the wine bottle and pour wine for the two of them.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, and when she finished pouring the wine, he asked with a little caution: "Yan, I don't say anything, and you know better than me in your heart." Or, let's try it first, your next album, and let Xiaoqian make you a song?"

When Zhou Yan heard this, she looked up at him and didn't speak.

Zou Wenhuai was a little embarrassed, and seemed to be explaining to Li Qian and Zhou Yan, he touched his brows and said: "Actually, if you want to talk about the level, Mr. Xie's level is indeed very high, but you have to admit that he is high, not high in wisdom, but high in elegance......! It's still a trivial thing to be untouched, the problem is that he knows too much and is too complicated, and he can't seem to figure out a clear context when he uses it......! It's colorful!"

Li Qian smiled, and after a while, he said calmly: "The album I made for the Five Elements and Liao Liao, which one is not colorful?"

When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he hurriedly said: "How can it be the same!"

While speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yan and explained: "Look at the "The Sound of the Waves" you made for Liao Liao, and then look at the two albums of Wuxing Wusu, "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "The Boy on the Opposite Side", at first glance, the style of music is mixed, and the road seems to be very chaotic, but you listen carefully and slowly brush it out, from beginning to end, your context is always very clear, and the theme of each of your albums has always been uniform. That kind of hearing, that feeling ......"

After a pause, he sighed, still looking at Zhou Yan, "Compared with you, of course I am a layman in this area, but I tell you, I have worked with Yan Yan for so many years, I have no other skills, and I can guess the sales of her album after listening to it once......! Well, if no one hits, it can probably stay for four or five weeks, and if someone does, three weeks, it's the top!"

Li Qian and Zhou Yan were silent when they heard the words.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai didn't know whether to say hi or drink, and he didn't pull people, so he took two sips of the cup and said helplessly: "You know, you are Zhou Yan! The timing is so good, but you can't take the opportunity to jump up all at once, it's really ...... It's a pity, let's not talk about anything else, even if the sister-in-law can't compare with Liao Liao for the time being, but Zhen Zhen's situation is seen by everyone, that's called a twilight, if the sister-in-law can't even suppress her grades......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Why can't I compare with Liao Liao?"

Zou Wenhuai was stunned.

He was obviously a little puzzled, gestured, looked at Zhou Yan with a puzzled expression, and said, "Liao Liao...... That's the first person in the Chinese music scene now! Zhao Xinfu and Liu Mingliang can't sell her! The five elements are so red that they are. She just stepped on it. Of course, we can't compare with her for the time being!"

Zhou Yan looked at him. After a while, he turned his head to look at Li Qian again, and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

That's not a good question to answer.

In terms of album sales, don't look at Zhou Yan's comeback momentum now, the album sales are quite good, even far exceeding the best sales before she quit the music industry, but she is really not very good with Liao Liao.

Let's be honest. The two of her sisters-in-law are afraid that they can't compare to the sales of one Liao Liao now.

However, she asked like this, can you tell the truth?

What's more, the little ambiguity between Liao Liao and herself, no one knows better than her - if you want to say that Zhou Yan will be jealous, Li Qian always feels that he doesn't believe it, but if you say that a woman won't be jealous, he doesn't believe it!

Don't look at her sometimes so cool that she doesn't look like a woman, but be careful. She is more feminine than the vast majority of women.

So after thinking about it, Li Qian smiled and said, "Why do you want to compare sales with her?" Naturally, it is said that singers, sales are only a one-sided measure, you have to compare your singing skills with Liao Liao.

Zhou Yan and Zou Wenhuai both understood in seconds.

So, Zhou Yan glanced at him when she heard this, and then looked at Zou Wenhuai.

These two men, one is an agent who has helped and helped her through many years, and they often disagree with each other, but the relationship has long been as close as buddies, and the other is simply the man she loves the most.

In front of the two of them, oh, yes, of course, add a Wu Ma.

In front of the three of them, it must be the time when Zhou Yan is most willing to open her heart, and the time when she wants to do whatever she wants.

So, she said to Zou Wenhuai: "Wait until the next album, I will make an appointment with Qian, and then release the album on the same day as Liao Liao, okay?"

She didn't care about herself, but Zou Wenhuai's face turned white with fright, and she quickly raised her hands in surrender, "Don't, don't, I said something wrong, okay?

Zhou Yan turned her head and saw that Li Qian's face was also a little surprised, she raised her wine glass proudly, and suddenly overflowed with pride, "Come, you wish me to kill Liao Liao in my next album!"

The two men didn't dare to raise their glasses, but Zhou Yan didn't pay attention, but just drank it all by herself very happily.

Putting down the wine glass, she smacked and said to Li Qian, "It's not as good as the west wind!" and then saw that the wine in the two men's cups didn't move, so she was a little stunned, "Why don't you drink it?"

Zou Wenhuai asked hesitantly: "Sister-in-law, what did you say...... Is it true?"

Zhou Yan had a natural expression, looking at Zou Wenhuai like a stupid hat, "Of course it's true!"

Zou Wenhuai slapped his head with a "snap", "Gotcha!"

After a pause, he smiled bitterly, took a sip of the cup, and spread his hands to Li Qian, "You ...... You see, you know how I've been messing around all these years, right? I said, you're ...... now. You shouldn't care? What does she say is that she is also your woman!"

To be honest, Li Qian is also a little big.

He understood very well that Zou Wenhuai had to drink this wine, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart to have such an agent who wholeheartedly helped Zhou Yan. Therefore, although he had already agreed with Zhou Yan earlier that everyone would do their own thing in music and not interfere with each other, at this time, he still felt that as long as Zhou Yan was willing, he still had to help her make at least one song. After all, it's her 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 it was so simple, Zou Wenhuai's kind proposal, after several rounds of stimulation and temptation, was actually self-defeating - Zhou Yan must have figured out what Zou Wenhuai meant in the blink of an eye. But it was precisely because she understood it so easily, so she probably suddenly thought it was fun, so she actually wanted to compete with Liao Liao for sales!

In today's domestic music scene, this idea is simply looking for death!

But Zhou Yan obviously didn't care about this.

For her, fun is enough. It doesn't matter if the album sells a little more or a little less.

Li Qian thought about it and suddenly smiled.

After a pause, he said helplessly to Zou Wenhuai: "If you really want to rap skills, your sister-in-law and Liao Liao are on par, each has its own merits, it is difficult to say who is better than whom, it can be regarded as a tie." When it comes to making music, especially pop music, I don't have to be presumptuous...... Xie Ming is far inferior to me! But when it comes to selling albums, I'm not as good as Sony, and it's far behind!"

Speaking of this, he rubbed his brows, turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, and said: "If you really want to compare, I can tell you right now that Liao Liao's new album is almost finished, and I will do it, not bragging, the quality is definitely high enough, higher than the quality of your album." But if nothing else, it is estimated that her new album will not sell you!"

Li Qian spread his hands and said helplessly: "This ...... How do you compare?"

Zhou Yan looked at him fixedly when she heard this, 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 that it didn't spray on the table.

Then, he coughed a few times and smoothed out, put down the wine glass and couldn't help shouting: "Wu Ma, Wu Ma?

…………

It's really incomparable.

Zhou Yan is a personality faction, a maverick spokesperson, what Li Junru or something like that, it seems to be enough personality, but in the eyes of mature fans, she is an ignorant little girl, in front of Zhou Yan, she is a little sister at best.

And Liao Liao is the omniscient diva in the current domestic music scene.

Young and beautiful, with a strong aura, an atmospheric singing path, and strong singing skills - she has almost no shortcomings.

But on the contrary, if you really want to talk about sales, Li Qian actually has no confidence.

Of course, the good thing is that now he and Liao Liao, including He Runqing, have completely thrown aside the sales of the godsend. Everyone has only one idea right now, and that is to make the album right!

He Runqing's new album started late, but at present, He Runqing is in a dormant period, with almost no other work and activities to disturb, plus she suddenly broke out, so the progress has been extremely fast, so that the recording of the new album was finally completed before Liao Liao. Although Liao Liao's new album is a little slower, it was officially recorded in late April.

Then, just when Zhou Yan's new album was selling well, Li Qian picked up the camera and began to take the photos needed for the cover and inner pages of the new album for the two queens.

And at this time, within the major record companies in Shuntianfu, as long as the slightest sensitivity of the people, they have already discovered that as the general manager of Li Qian's studio, Qi Jie, who was running back and forth between various companies some time ago, suddenly disappeared.

…………

Fuzhou Mansion, Airport, Waiting Lounge.

Just finished talking to someone on the phone, put the phone away, Qi Jie held a cup of hot soy milk bought by the accompanying staff in his hand and fell asleep in his seat before he had time to drink it.

Huang Wenjuan took out a thin blanket from her suitcase with some distress and carefully covered her. Then he ran outside, and his fingers sent a text message out quickly.

A minute later, there was a ding, and a text message came back.

"I can't persuade her, I know her better than you. ”
