Chapter 62: Liao Liao's Cleverness
The age of the Internet has come.
This was something Li Qian had foreseen a long time ago, but when this day really came, he still felt a little surprised.
In fact, in the first days when he came to this time and space, Li Qian suddenly couldn't swipe WeChat, couldn't chat QQ, and had difficulty adapting to the various simplicity of the current mobile phone functions and the awkwardness of the screen resolution for a long time. The same is true for computers.
Therefore, Dad Li once repeatedly considered buying a computer for Li Qian, but Li Qian's attitude has always been neither in favor nor against, and finally until he left home to go to school in Shuntianfu, Dad Li didn't buy it, and when the studio was established and began to purchase office equipment, Qi Jie naturally wanted to equip Li Qian's office with a computer, but Li Qian thought about it and still refused, for no other reason, a computer era that didn't even have XP, Li Qian felt that it might not bring him any so-called convenience.
He always felt that the era of computer technology that he was familiar with had not yet come.
Until today, he suddenly discovered QQ and discovered the legend.
In a trance, a lot of memories came flooding back.
So next, no matter how Liao Liao protested, how he questioned, and how he was frustrated, Li Qian still unswervingly used her account to play a legend, and it was cool for more than half an hour, and then he was still offline.
As for how Li Qian, a person who has almost never touched a computer, could be so proficient as soon as he gets started, this question is close to unsolvable, and fortunately, Liao Liao will not dwell on these problems.
On the contrary, after getting through the initial surprise, Li Qian played the game. She's just directing from the sidelines. Yelling. I feel more excited than Li Qian, who is playing a game.
Of course, for Li Qian, playing this again is just a certain degree of nostalgia, and it is impossible for him to play as devoting himself to play as he did when he was in school, so he has little interest in discussing this aspect of skills with Liao Liao. The main task of his coming to the studio today is to discuss with Liao Liao and several people in the studio's production department to set the tone for Liao Liao's new album.
Of course, the people who set the tone are mainly him and Liao Liao.
Today's Liao Liao is the undisputed top spot in the domestic music scene.
Among the female singers Zhen Zhen, He Runqing and Feng Feifei, including the newly rising Wuxing Wusu and Li Junru, among the male singers Liu Mingliang and Hu Yang, including the recently popular Huang Yuqing. In front of her, they all had to bow down.
And that's not just about sales. Even when it comes to singing, Liao Liao is still the person who stands at the top.
To sum up, the path of her past two albums mainly includes three major sections.
The first is, of course, pop songs, including the so-called Chinese style, which are actually part of pop songs.
The second is folk songs, especially her second album "The Sound of the Waves Remains", which includes several classic folk songs. On the one hand, she began to have a breakthrough in singing skills, so that she is considered to be the most wonderful "classic female voice" in today's domestic music scene, and on the other hand, it made Liao Liao unconsciously begin to have the widest and broadest singing road positioning.
As for the third, it's rock. Including "Persistence", "Wild Flowers", "Cheers, Friends" and other light rock in "Liao Liao", as well as more pure rock such as "Come Back" in "The Sound of the Waves Remains".
Frankly speaking, the main force that makes Liao Liao's album sell is actually from pop, after all, this music scene is called the pop music world, whether it is folk or rock, although they each have enough audiences, but only one way, but it is still a niche, only with the support of popular works, Liao Liao's song road can be expanded to the widest, and the audience can also be expanded to the largest.
Therefore, for Liao Liao's new album, Li Qian's main idea is still the same: a few main pop songs to increase sales, a few folk songs, and a few rock songs to win the hearts of niche fans and improve the thickness and texture of the entire album.
Of course, there is a little consideration, which Li Qian himself is still hesitating.
That is, whether to push Liao Liao to Cai Qin in another time and space.
If you want to push, it's not impossible. Liao Liao has that foundation and that strength, and Li Qian also has that resource, if you want to go down the road of the audition disc, it can be said that there is no problem at all.
However, in that case, it will definitely increase the weight of folk works in her new album, which will make the popularity of the whole album seem slightly insufficient, and if the popularity is insufficient, the first thing that will be affected will definitely be sales - the reality is like this, the words high and low are not for fun.
is also Liao Liao singing, whether she sings the kind of pop songs that will be popular on the streets as soon as they come out, or whether she sings ballads that are more textured, thicker, and warmer at the same time, but it is not easy to win the hearts of most ordinary fans at the first time, which is reflected in sales, for Liao Liao, it is estimated that it will be a gap of millions, or even millions.
And considering that the studio has just been established, although there is still a He Runqing, but she must be transformed, the new album is actually much more dangerous than Liao Liao, so at present, only Liao Liao can support the studio and carry the banner. Considering that the studio does not have its own distribution system, the profits from making its own albums will be greatly exploited, so if you make a folk album at this juncture, it will be more risky for the studio.
However, the album is Liao Liao's album, and the road is Liao Liao's way, no matter what the risks are, since Li Qian has considered it, he must put it forward, how to choose, this power must be left to Liao Liao.
Li Qian is unwilling and disdainful to go to Liao Liao to sing pop songs for commercial considerations.
However, when Li Qian finished the game and started to talk to Liao Liao about business, he just mentioned this topic, and he didn't even analyze the pros and cons of doing so, and Liao Liao had already made a direct decision-
"Don't do folk music! At least this album, it's still pop style! I like folk songs very much, and I like rock and roll. But this album ...... Let's continue the idea of the previous one. If it's too good for folk or rock. Word of mouth may be higher, but it is not good for sales. I guess this album should be the studio's first work, so the sales are still the first, and I have to be responsible for the first shot!"
Li Qian sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and just nodded slowly when he heard the words, but he didn't speak.
Liao Liao is a smart man.
Even. In Li Qian's opinion, among all the people she knows, her IQ is enough to rank in the top three.
After coming to this time and space, Li Qian has met and contacted so many people, including talents like Cao Zhan, as well as rich second generations like Xie Mingyuan and Yu Bojun, who have both family background and ability, as well as people like Chen Changsheng who started from scratch and laid down a country, and He Runqing, who sang from a mountain girl to a generation of divas, but when it comes to being smart, Li Qian really doesn't think anyone can surpass Liao Liao.
The so-called smart. It doesn't have to be something new, it doesn't have to be different.
In Li Qian's opinion. The so-called smart means that like Liao Liao, she can always make the smartest and most correct decisions at critical moments, so that everyone around her will and her command will turn.
On the one hand, it can certainly show that Liao Liao knows the goods, and her ability to identify and appreciate songs, which is very human, but on the other hand, it is such a simple "sky-high price", on the one hand, she moved herself, on the other hand, she forced Chen Changsheng, and in the end, she achieved her goal as she wished. In Li Qian's view, this is simply a model of the so-called killing two birds with one stone.
and then directly flipped the table at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, which is naturally her genius in dealing with people, which no longer needs to be detailed.
Including in the last six months, she decided to leave Changsheng Records and not renew her contract, it is said that at this time, an artist has just become popular for a year or two, and she is going to break up with the company that discovered and cultivated herself. But this kind of thing was easily settled by Liao Liao with fifteen commercial performances.
In a hurry, she actually got out of Changsheng Records smoothly, and even if she left, Chen Changsheng probably still remembered her good - this is not something that ordinary artists can do.
And now, when it comes to her new album, she has already taken into account everything Li Qian wants to say without waiting for Li Qian to finish speaking, and then she directly blocked all the rest of Li Qian's words.
In particular, she almost completely stood in Li Qian's position to consider this matter!
Is it smart?
Clever!
Of course, Liao Liao has always been like that, when talking about business, she is smarter than anyone else, almost in the blink of an eye, and she has already considered the consequences of a thing, the pros and cons of gains and losses, but you have to expect her to always sit there and discuss problems with you seriously...... Don't think about it.
For example, she just made an important decision on the front foot, but the back foot came over, pretending to be enchanting, sat down next to Li Qian, and smashed it with a few winks, "Hey, handsome guy, accompany me to play a game?"
Li Qian waited sideways.
It should be said that compared to the nervousness and awkwardness of Li Qian from head to toe that day, in the face of Liao Liao's seduction today, his performance suddenly became much more indifferent - no matter how old your psychological age is, as long as you are still a virgin, then you will definitely have no confidence, and your ability to resist temptation will definitely not work!
For example, today, after Li Qian glanced at her with slanted eyes, he could already say very calmly: "Do you know, in fact, you are really not suitable for flattery, but you are the most beautiful when you are dignified." If you don't say that you don't move and sit there, it will naturally be atmospheric and beautiful, and as soon as you throw your eyes, your image score will immediately drop half!"
Liao Liao put away his smile when he heard this, pursed his lips, and glared angrily.
Li Qian pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "What I said was from my heart." ”
Liao Liao glanced at the door - the little assistant was very sensible, and he knew that the two were going to hook up, so he would have gotten out a long time ago.
So, Liao Liao didn't even have the slightest scruples, turned over, and rode on Li Qian again, just like that night, looked down at him, and continued to glare angrily, "Do you want me to borrow Xiaojie's clothes and give you some uniforms to tempt you or something?"
Li Qian was unmoved and looked at her calmly.
If there is anything in this world except for Liao's father, Liao's mother and a certain Ermin. There is also a person who makes Liao Liao helpless, and he always can't help but feel a little weak. That must be Li Qian.
At this moment. Li Qian was unmoved, and she suddenly began to run out of ideas.
After a while, she finally couldn't help it, put away the rotten acting skills on her face, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, tell me the truth, after leaving that night." Do you regret it?"
Li Qian looked at her, smiled, thought about it, smiled again, and said seriously: "Give me some time, okay? Let me sort out these things, recently...... It's a bit messy. And, I'm not sure I can really do it well. ”
I don't know if Li Qian's expression and tone were too sincere, or because Li Qian's words that night made Liao Liao start to have scruples, after all. She really wanted to make a little bit of a musical achievement, with her cleverness. Of course, she understood that what Li Qian said that night was indeed a big problem, so at this time, seeing Li Qian say this, she thought about it and could only nod.
…………
Li Qian, Liao Liao, Sun Meimei, plus a few people from the production department, just a few people sat in the conference room, everyone simply communicated, and soon finalized the style of Liao Liao's new album.
In principle, the style must be certain, and it must be actively received from the outside world, but firstly, the studio is currently in a bad situation, and has recently received a boycott from the entire Shuntianfu record industry, intentionally or unintentionally, and secondly, the studio is newly established, and there is not much contact in the industry, and there are not many connections with those freelance musicians who are not controlled by major record companies, so if you continue to receive manuscripts, to be honest, the studio is not too confident.
After all, before the style was decided, the studio had already asked some musicians who could be contacted, and there were not many of them who even verbally agreed, and they were not famous musicians.
Therefore, in the end, although the style has been decided, it will definitely continue to receive manuscripts and invite songs, but Liao Liao's first album in the studio, it is estimated that Li Qian will still be responsible for Bao Yuan.
But fortunately, Li Qian has long been mentally prepared for this, and in fact, he has grabbed a lot of resources in his hands, among which it is impossible to lack the ones that are suitable for an almost all-round singer like Liao Liao, so on the second day, he took three works out, on the one hand, he handed them to Liao Liao and asked her to start practicing songs, and on the other hand, he asked the production department to start making at least three versions of the arrangement for the final choice.
Of course, Li Qian will definitely give his own arrangement, but he never thinks that he is the best, and he doesn't think that the original arrangement of another time and space in his impression must be the best, so since he has signed a professional musician, of course they must play their due role.
With Liao Liao's album, you can also practice soldiers.

Thank you for your concern and blessings, and now report on the recent activity trajectory as follows, the number of words is a bit much, but if you send a single chapter, the book friends over there in the creation and QQ Book City will not be able to see it, so send it here, it will probably waste one to two cents of everyone's money, and the knife apologizes first-
1. My father is an old disease, and the current condition is not easy to judge, to judge what is going on, the doctor said that he needs to do an operation called "cardiovascular angiography", which is said to be about the same level as stent surgery, and the risk is not small, as a child, I definitely don't worry about doing it in the county hospital, but Shandong Provincial Hospital, after all, is a big hospital, saying that it is a queue for hospitalization, and the operation still has to queue up after hospitalization, one and two, it is estimated that it will take two or three weeks, and I feel that I dare not wait, so I have no choice but to go back to the county hospital first;
2. I have contacted the doctor in the hospital where I did the stent surgery, after all, I snatched my father back from death back then, and I have been in touch in recent years, and I will greet him during the New Year's holidays, so, well, I can only say that people should know how to be grateful...... This time, the other party said happily, stabilize it, if you feel that the problem on the road is not too big, you can come directly, I will arrange the hospital bed for you, and I will do the imaging surgery for you personally...... Thanksgiving!
3. The homepage page originally scheduled for the 22nd has been postponed by urgently contacting the editor, and on that day, I will accompany my old father to Xi'an. During the escort period, I will carry a notebook, try to find time to code, and try to keep changing.
