Chapter 50: Liao Liao is jealous
Liao Liao is back.
In the two months of September and October, she showed unprecedented diligence. In just two months, she ran as many as 12 commercial performances, and according to her verbal agreement with Chen Changsheng, three more in November, and 15 commercial performances will be completed.
And when all the fifteen commercial performances ran down, she was tired, but she brought up to 13.2 million income for Changsheng Records, although such income has to pay taxes, and the tax is not low, in addition, after paying taxes, Liao Liao can only get the remaining 40%, and the bulk of it still has to be taken by the company, but it is also a full four million!
Therefore, this time should be regarded as a happy moment for Liao Liao no matter what.
But on the contrary, since she got out of the airport, she has not given Qi Jielu who came to pick up the airport a smile.
For the little bit of caution in her heart, Qi Jie was like a mirror in her heart, so she simply ignored her. As for the little assistant Huang Wenjuan, she has become a bag of anger in the past few days, and she is almost full of listening to someone's complaints these days, and she doesn't dare to say anything at this time.
When the car left the airport, Liao Liao said sullenly, "He's in the studio?"
Qi Jie's answer was very succinct, "Yes!"
So he went straight to the studio.
But when the car arrived in the underground garage, Qi Jie parked the car, only to find that she didn't get out of the car.
After a pause, she raised her hand and rubbed her brows, and suddenly said, "Let's go home first, let's go home first!"
Qi Jie pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but when she saw Huang Wenjuan glaring at herself, she didn't bother to be angry with her, so she had to sit back in the driver's seat again. Send her home.
The car starts. Drive out of the garage.
Liao Liao took out his mobile phone. Dial out a number.
The phone was connected, and her voice was full of tiredness, and she said, "Hey, me." ”
The car was quiet, and Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone.
It was Li Qian, who seemed to have a little smile.
"Coming back, picking you up?" he said.
"Well, yes, we're on our way! I'm a little tired. I won't go to the studio, I will go home and rest first. ”
"Okay, go home and have a good rest, rest for a few days!"
"Uh, are you free tonight?"
"What are you doing at night?"
"Take you to a place, and by the way, introduce a few people to you, and make sure you are interested!"
After a while, Li Qian on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "It's the bar where you sang, right? I said I was going to go, but I didn't go! I happened to be fine today. Then I'll take a look at you!"
…………
The lights are on.
In a Western restaurant, Li Qian and Liao Liao sat opposite each other.
When the steak was served, Li Qian directly waved the knife and fork and feasted on it.
Liao Liao has to be careful when eating, girls, at least she eats in small bites, not so rude.
Halfway through eating, Li Qian noticed that something was wrong, so he raised his head to look at her, still chewing beef in his mouth, and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Liao Liao seemed to be a little too happy today, and the tiredness of talking to her on the phone in the afternoon was not next to her at all. At this time, she was also smiling, and when she saw Li Qian asking, she suddenly leaned closer, and whispered like a thief: "Hey, you come out to have dinner with me, does your little girlfriend know?"
Li Qian glanced at her, sighed, didn't bother to take care of her, and continued to cut the steak with his head down.
But Liao Liao was happy and smiled happily.
Occasionally, when she looked up, something called a deficiency flashed in her eyes.
…………
Music is not limited by geography or time and space. But pop music, or the commercialization and marketization of music, has a circle. This circle, with major record companies as the core, gathers a large number of musicians and singers, and finally uses a large number of bookstores and video stores as sales terminals, and then extends to major performance companies, so as to jointly build a music market with a total of billions.
And the core of this circle, as far as the country is concerned, is in Suncheonfu.
Countless musicians with dreams have rushed here from all over the country to try to join this circle, try to make their music heard by more people, try to become popular, and try to gain fame and fortune. But to be honest, if it weren't for the super strength, otherwise, this circle would not be so easy to enter.
And people who wander outside the circle, but do not want to leave, naturally generate another major part of the music circle, that is, underground music.
Many singers and musicians have been in the underground music circle before they officially entered the industry, such as Li Qian in his previous life, such as Liao Liao two years ago.
…………
At night, at half past eight, a bar in Shuntianfu.
Li Qian parked the car and walked into the door side by side with Liao Liao.
The venue is not small, and it has already been on about four or five percent of the guests. There is a stage area in the center, and there is now a girl who doesn't look very old on the stage who is holding a guitar and singing, and the guests are drinking wine and chatting.
Overall, it wasn't too hot, but the atmosphere was pretty good.
Liao Liao took Li Qian inside familiarly, and said as he walked, "This point, it hasn't started yet!" The two of them casually found a corner not too close to the stage and sat down, Liao Liao took off his sunglasses, and when the waiter came, he skillfully ordered two glasses of water, and then asked Li Qian with a smile, "Is it the first time to come to this kind of place?"
Li Qian smiled and could only nod.
In this life, of course, he is here for the first time, but in his last life, he has performed in this kind of bar for more than ten years, to put it simply, this kind of place is where he eats mixed food, and it is so familiar that it can't be cooked.
The waiter quickly brought two cups of warm water, at this time, Liao Liao was already on the phone, and after a while, she hung up the phone and said with a smile: "They are preparing for the performance in the back, come over immediately, they are all my buddies!"
Li Qian smiled, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you ...... today?" Aren't you supposed to be tired?"
Liao Liao was a little stuck, her eyes rolled, and she pretended to be calm and said: "This is my base! Of course I ...... Feed. Where do you see that I'm excited? I'm just so tired, okay? It's not to be with your big boss. That's why you forced a smile? Hey. You're still laughing, a little conscience, okay?"
Li Qian smiled and picked up the cup to drink.
After three or four minutes, Liao Liao suddenly stood up and waved behind Li Qian, Li Qian turned around, and found several people striding over, so he simply stood up.
Five people at a time. From a normal person's point of view, well, it's a little weird to dress up.
Li Qian smiled, watching Liao Liao familiarly bump fists and greet them, and then Liao Liao stretched out his hand and introduced him, "This, Ma San, Ma Lihe, lead singer." That's a weird voice, rhythm guitar. Da Liu, Liu Meiyang, that, bass, Dabin, his name is Dabin, his surname is Ou, and he is also the captain of their band, and this, Fatty, Chen Chuanhai, drummer, and that, radish, called Luo Bomin, lead guitar! Oh, by the way, this is the guy I've admired for a long time, and I'm about to become my boss, brothers, hurry up, you can start if you want to make a sycophant!"
Li Qian smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Li Qian." ”
Several people looked at Li Qian in surprise, the performance in the bar hadn't started yet, the lights weren't too dim, they could all clearly see Li Qian's appearance, although Liao Liao had already said that he didn't know how many times Li Qian was really young, but when he really saw a real person, they still had a feeling of being startled - because this face was too tender.
However, a few people were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly scrambled to shake hands with Li Qian.
Ou Dabin is the captain, and when everyone shook hands with Li Qian, he smiled and said: "I have long known that Lao Liao has been cooperating with you, Mr. Li, and our brothers are really worshiping when they listen to the songs you wrote for her!
Li Qian smiled and said, "It's too much of a prize, sit down, sit down and say!"
As a result, there were four people seated in the card seat, so Ou Dabin immediately changed seats, they performed here all the year round, and they were very familiar with the bar, and soon found a large vacant seat, and a few people turned around and sat down, and chatted randomly.
Of course, the most important thing at the beginning was to listen to Ou Dabin and a few of them express their admiration for Li Qian, chatting and chatting, everyone was not so polite, and then they began to get to the point.
Their band is called "Red Grasshopper", and the members of the band have known each other for a long time, but they used to have their own bands, until the beginning of this year, when everyone's original band dispersed, and a few people touched each other, and formed this new band.
The band's captain and bassist Ou Dabin and drummer Chen Chuanhai are Liao Liao's old partners when they performed in the bar, of course, when Liao Liao was active in underground performances, they didn't form a band, in fact, Liao Liao only sang in this area for a long time before Chen Changsheng signed, so they didn't have time to grind into a band at all, but the friendship is still there.
They are currently performing in several bars in Suncheonfu, basically performing for about an hour every day, singing other people's songs and singing their own works, and in general, their style is a bit traditional and a little bit of rock 'n' roll, with a strong focus on improvisation, a bit of traditional American rock.
At present, Li Qian is not well-known among fans, but in the music circle, he has long been one of the most well-known musicians and producers, in the underground rock circle, because the songs he wrote to Liao Liao are also very famous, so everyone sat down and talked for a while, seeing that a band had been replaced on the stage, Ou Dabin smiled and said: " Our performance starts at 10 o'clock and ends at 11 o'clock, I don't know if Mr. Li can stay until that point, if you can stay, you must give us some advice, we have always wanted to go to business, and we have talked to several record companies, but we always can't talk, not afraid of your jokes, the one they say, we think laymen! Of course, this, we are too paranoid! Lao Liao needless to say, you are a musician, you give us advice, we can trust it!"
Li Qian smiled and said: "If you are not paranoid, you can't make music well, but if you are too paranoid, it is often not easy to commercialize, this, it still depends on your own choice." In this way, I'll listen to it later, if it's useful or not, let's go back and talk. ”
Ou Dabin slapped his leg when he heard this, "Yes, with your words, we will live!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liao Liao and said with a smile: "There is Lao Liao here today." She's a rich woman. We're not going to do it. Let her please you!"
While speaking, Ou Dabin stood up, shook hands with Li Qian, and said, "Then Mr. Li, you sit down first, we have to hurry up and prepare to go backstage!
As soon as he said this, several members of the band stood up. shook hands with Li Qian one after another, and then said goodbye to Shanren.
When they left, Liao Liao drank saliva and asked, "How about this?
Li Qian also picked up the cup and drank water, and said with a smile: "What can I see at this time, the key is to be in the stands, wait, wait to hear!" After a pause, he couldn't help but glance at Liao Liao in surprise. I always felt that she was a little weird today, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He asked, "Are you going to recommend them to me, do you want me to sign them?"
Speaking of business, Liao Liao became a little more serious, and said seriously: "It's not that you have to sign them, whether you sign them or not, you can grasp it yourself, but to be honest, even I think that the style they take is not easy to sell albums! I can't say what the music level of their band is, but at least they still have a beautiful job, and I asked them to help record several songs for the accompaniment of my last album. ”
Li Qian looked at her intently, and gently rubbed his chin with his right hand - well, finally smacked a little taste.
So, he leaned over and asked, "Hey, why is your 'other person' so heavy?"
Liao Liao glanced at him, and instantly felt a little in a state of collapse, his face pulled down, and he raised his chin defiantly, saying, "What do you think?"
Li Qian smiled, "What's the matter, I signed He Runqing, are you so unhappy?"
Liao Liao said a little angrily: "I'm happy if you sign anyone, I'm even happier if you sign He Runqing, the queen of heaven, she is here, proving that the future of the studio is better, thriving! But the question is, I'm the studio's first signed singer, okay? Why let her get ahead of me?"
Li Qian spread his hands, "But you can't sign your contract for the time being before it expires! She happened to come over, and she was so sincere, I can't say, oh, you have to wait, after I sign Liao Liao, the second one is you, right?"
Liao Liao stared at him fiercely, "Excuse!"
Li Qian shrugged helplessly, "Okay, don't be angry, can I go back and make an album for you first?"
Liao Liao was about to slap the table, "I should have done it first!"
Li Qian pursed his lips, a little helpless.
Who would have thought that Liao Liao, who has always been extremely generous, would actually be jealous of this little thing.
But fortunately, this is in the bar after all, Liao Liao stared at him hatefully for a while, and dropped a sentence, "I'll settle accounts with you later!"
At this time, after singing on the stage, it was the applause in the bar, Li Qian felt that his eyes were suddenly dark, and a figure shook for a moment, and then stopped.
A young man dressed in casual clothes stared at Liao Liao and said with some surprise: "Sister Liao?"
…………
The person who came was called Sun Hua, and Liao Liao was a fellow countryman, a native of Liaoning Da Lianfu.
It is said that when he came to Shuntianfu to start performing in a mixed bar, Liao Liao had already signed a contract with Changsheng Records, but Liao Liao signed a contract, even if he became popular later, he would still spend some time back in the bar every year to sing a few songs, so he came and went, and he met Sun Hua, a fellow villager who was singing in the bar at the time.
If Li Qian only roughly perceived his current status in the music circle when he saw a few people in the Red Grasshopper Band just now, then after Liao Liao introduced the two people, looked at Sun Hua's surprised expression, and then he looked a little restrained and a little flattering, Li Qian really felt for the first time his influence in the music circle, especially among these singers and bands.
There's no way, if you're engaged in music, everyone wants to be popular.
And whether you admit it or not, Li Qian's musical talent, anyway, he is one of the most famous gold medal producers in the current circle!
Even, if you just look at the results of the last year or two, it is no problem to remove that "one" and say that he is the best producer in the circle!
Everyone shook hands and sat down, Sun Hua seemed to always want to talk to Li Qian, but everyone was unfamiliar after all, so Liao Liao mainly talked to him - he signed with Times Records three months ago, three years, two albums, and the first album is currently in preparation.
When the topic came to this, he couldn't help but say a little restrainedly: "When I go back and wait for the album to be made, I don't know if I can trouble Mr. Li and Sister Liao to help listen to it and give advice." ”
Without waiting for Li Qian to answer, Liao Liao smiled and said, "I'm fine! But you can't afford his price, haha!"
Sun Hua smiled a little embarrassedly, and when he smiled, his already round face looked a little cute.
Li Qian took the initiative to smile and asked, "I heard that your voice is quite high, what path are you going to take?"
Sun Hua suddenly perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Love songs!" When a sentence came out, he was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Sister Liao's two albums have paved the way, so now everyone is swarming on it, and everyone knows that love songs are easier to hit the charts and sell well! You see, it's not like even Zhou Yan can't help but make a comeback, the current market for love songs, with the fast songs of youth, is the hottest!"
Li Qian nodded, "Love song...... It's also good, follow the direction of the market, let's go first, don't worry!"
While the three of them were talking, the band that had been performing on the stage for a long time had already finished their performance, thanked them, and went off the stage. At this time, Sun Hua suddenly said, "Teacher Li, why don't I sing you a song?"
***
Many times, a ticket, a word, the heart is warm!
Thank you!
With heart code words, happy life!
I wish you all a happy Double 11, well, by the way, I hope that the brothers and sisters who are still single can hand over a peach blossom in the next few days.......
