Chapter Seventy-Six: Who Will Sing "Dark Incense"?
After the song "Da Jiangdong Go", Qi Jie didn't speak, just sat there with a smile on her face.
Lu Ruoying turned her head and glanced at Qi Jie, and when she saw her expression, she knew that there was still one below.
To be honest, although what she heard just now was just a small sample, I have to say that the atmosphere and softness of this song moved her at the first time - Liao Liao's singing, of course, there is nothing to say, the most important thing is that this word, this song, and a certain unique temperament contained in this whole song are simply compatible with "Romance in Troubled Times"!
When listening to the song, I didn't wait for Liao Liao to finish singing it for the first time, just when I heard the high tide of the B section, Lu Ruoying had already decided that this song must be there!
Then, she heard a second one!
The piano is actually a familiar sound again.
She sighed casually and sang to the piano: "The south wind blows coolly, and the nightingale sings in unison......"
Lu Ruoying's brows suddenly furrowed, and then let go.
…………
After the two songs were played, Qi Jie turned her head and signaled to Lu Ruoying's secretary, and the little secretary understood, walked over and turned off the tape recorder with a "snap".
But at this time, Lu Ruoying leaned on the back of the sofa and squinted slightly.
The level is the sound of "pop", which means that all the works brought by Qi Jie this time have been played, and she has not opened her eyes.
Qi Jie looked at her, and after a while, said tentatively: "Director Lu, look at these two songs......"
Lu Ruoying opened her eyes and smiled without answering: "These two songs are sung by Liao Liao and He Runqing respectively, right?"
Qi Jie nodded and said, "Yes, the first song is called "Da Jiangdong Go". It was sung by Liao Liao, and the second song was called "Night Fragrance", which was sung by He Runqing. Are you satisfied?"
Lu Ruoying still didn't answer, but said with a smile: "The strength of your studio is very strong!" After a pause, she smiled and said, "It's just." We have limited funds, and I'm afraid it's hard to get you completely satisfied with the price......"
…………
Qi Jie, who had been suppressing herself, waited until she walked out of the building of Huaxia TV Station, and then she couldn't help but suddenly clench her fists and wave it fiercely, "Yay!"
600,000!
Since the establishment of Li Qian's studio, it is also the first business for her Qi Jie as the general manager of the studio, and it has been negotiated!
I have to say. I have been depressed for half a year, and at this moment, it seems that I can finally vent it to my heart's content!
…………
As Qi Jie returned to the studio with a smile on her face, the news that the soundtrack of the TV series "Troubled Times" was taken down spread throughout Li Qian's studio.
However, just when the atmosphere of the entire studio was very good, in Li Qian's music director's office, including Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei and others. But many people frowned slightly.
The reason is simple, although the business is taken down. And although the price code is not high, but after all, it is not too low, for Li Qian's studio, at least this single business should be profitable, which can be regarded as a good start. But...... Qi Jie brought back the other party's request. But it takes three songs!
The other party appreciated "Da Jiangdong Go" very much, and said that it could be the opening song, that is, the theme song, and at the same time, it was also the tone of the soundtrack of the main theme plot on the soundtrack of the entire TV series.
"Night Fragrance" is also appreciated by the other party. thinks that it can be an interlude, and even, the other party wants to reshoot some scenes according to this song, cut this song directly into the story, and directly turn the version sung by He Runqing into the work of a singer in the Republic of China era in the play, for this reason, the other party asked Li Qian's studio to record an additional special version.
However, "Troubled Times" is a heroic drama after all!
Even if there is a large love scene in the play, it is also a hero in love!
So, how can the theme song and interlude of the whole TV series be without a man's voice?
In this regard, the other party's requirements are very clear, either, "Da Jiangdong Go" will be sung by a male voice, but the effect cannot be worse than the sample of Liao Liao's version, in this case, the other party promises to give 500,000! Or, Li Qian's studio must come up with a new song, and it must make a small sample, and give it to the other party for approval after listening, in that case, three songs, a theme song, an ending song, and an interlude, and the other party will come out with 600,000!
At that time, Qi Jie almost didn't think about it, so she directly agreed: We will give three songs, and we want 600,000!
The thing is obvious, with Li Qian here, will we still lack a song?
Moreover, there is no need to think about it, Qi Jie subconsciously felt that as long as Li Qian took out the work and passed the pass of Ruoying, it would be absolutely fine!
You don't see many large record companies grabbing the soundtrack of "Troubled Times", but as a result, the samples they made were all killed by Lu Ruoying without exception, but Li Qian went from writing songs to teaching singing to recording samples, and it took a day to gather the total, and then ...... Lu Ruoying was killed by his work in seconds!
But the problem is that Qi Jie didn't know if she was too excited at that time, she completely forgot one thing, that is, although Li Qian can easily come up with a new song of a very high level, Li Qian's studio has not even had a male singer so far!
Of course, if there are no male singers, they can go out to other record companies to borrow people, other companies are not easy to say, such as Zhou Ye, such as several singers on the side of Changsheng Records, Li Qian's studio wants to borrow, that is a matter of opening your mouth. Moreover, in a situation like this, where only one song is recorded and used as the theme song for film and television dramas, there is a long practice in the industry, only a recording fee needs to be given to the singer, and the song does not need to be authorized to the other party, and the other party naturally cannot use this song to make albums and commercial performances.
But the problem is that when Qi Jie came back with such news, without waiting for the people from the production department to get the news, Li Qian pulled a piece of paper and began to write a song, and then, when Li Jinlong, Liao Liao and others came over, his song was also finished.
The statement announced to everyone is that I wrote this song last year, and I feel that it is not suitable for Liao Liao, nor is it suitable for the Five Elements, so I have never taken it out - of course, Liao Liao, the only one among the people who knows the inside story, understood it at that time.
I want to be at the beginning. Uh, no, even until now, Li Qian's two big books are still pressing on her like shadows, Li Qian brushes and tears off a song, and tears off another song. It was one of the most shocking things to date for her, how could she forget?
In her heart, Li Qian's two big books are simply the big pockets of the Buddha, and she can take out whatever she wants!
Then, Li Qian's "new work" naturally wants to be shown to everyone.
This song is called "Dark Fragrance".
It's not the kind of song that obviously picks the singer, especially for the singer's gender, it's not at all. It's just that insiders such as Liao Liao, how to run Qing, and Li Jinlong. After watching it, I can't help but feel: This song doesn't seem to be picky, but in fact, it should be quite picky for the singer's singing skills!
Ordinary singers, this song may not be able to sing well!
Of course, this is not a problem, there are so many singers with good singing skills in the domestic music scene, and they really have to spend money to hire people. Definitely not a problem. But the problem is, I have listened to the other party's request. After watching this work again, everyone said: Is it a bit too wasteful to give such a good song to outsiders to sing?
There is no doubt that whether it is Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei, or Liao Liao, He Runqing, after watching this song. It's almost unanimous that this is definitely a hit!
Therefore, once such a song is sung by other male singers, of course, the other party cannot be included in his own album. And Li Qian's studio can make Liao Liao's "Da Jiangdong Go" and He Runqing's "Night Fragrance", plus this song, into a small disc to sell, but once the song becomes popular, in the final analysis, isn't it cheaper for others?
And on the contrary, once such a song is broadcast with a TV series, is it possible that it will not be popular?
In this regard, Li Jinlong suggested, "Or, our studio is considering signing a newcomer?"
This is the way to prevent fertilizer and water from flowing into the fields of outsiders. However, although there are a lot of young people waiting to come out in the domestic music scene, and some of them still have some singing skills, the reason why no record company is willing to sign is largely due to the deviation of everyone's judgment on the development speed of the music industry in the past.
Therefore, even if Li Qian's studio temporarily signed a male singer out of the consideration of not flowing into the fields of outsiders, there are doubts about whether the other party can really control the song "Dark Fragrance", and even if the other party sings it, it is also very good, but for the current Li Qian studio, even the two big names in his hand, Liao Liao and He Runqing, have not yet been played, is it really necessary to sign a newcomer for a song at this time?
So without waiting for others to speak, Li Jinlong's old friend Sun Meimei was the first to stand up and express her opposition, "The focus of our studio's work next year will definitely be to focus on creating two discs of Liao Liao and Runqing, at this time, signing a newcomer for a song, but it suddenly disrupted the plan, I think, it's not appropriate!"
Li Jinlong thought about it and had to nod in agreement.
As a result, everyone's brows furrowed.
At this time, just when Li Qian was hesitating and thinking about whether to change a simpler and more popular work to come out, at least not to make everyone feel so distressed, he looked up and saw the only person in the office who did not frown - Liao Liao.
Seeing Li Qian's gaze sweeping over and falling on him, Liao Liao flew provocatively.
Li Qian smiled and looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Liao Liaohun said nonchalantly: "What male singer, what goes out to find someone, what sign a newcomer, tell me, there's no need! There is a male singer in our studio now! And it is certain that his strength and singing skills are top-notch! He can definitely master this song to perfection!"
Without waiting for others to react, Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head-at this moment, he immediately understood why Liao Liao had such a provocative look just now.
From the time when Liao Liao was still in Changsheng Records, when the two of them were working on Liao Liao's second album "The Sound of the Waves Remains", Liao Liao muttered vigorously, wanting to sing a work with Li Qian, but at that time, Li Qian refused to agree, insisting that he had not practiced his singing skills yet, and he had no face to sing with Liao Liao.
And when Liao Liao's contract with Changsheng Records expired and she was transferred to Li Qian's studio, seeing that her third album was about to start preparation, Li Qian really came up with a few songs, and Liao Liao chased Li Qian again and began to grind, "Let's sing a chorus together, sing a chorus, sing a chorus ......"
Li Qian still continued to carry it, resolutely refusing to agree to give his voice!
And now, Liao Liao actually seized the opportunity to raise this topic again!
At this time, although they were one step later than Li Qian, everyone else in the office gradually came back to their senses, so everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Qian.
Even Qi Jie, a layman, is looking forward to it.
For Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei, they have either cooperated with Li Qian, or they have long known Li Qian's extraordinary creative ability, but in fact, they have never heard Li Qian sing, so although Liao Liao's words came out, they understood that Liao Liao was pointing at Li Qian, but in their eyes at Li Qian, they were expecting three points of hesitation - of course, with their IQ, they would not dismantle the boss's platform at this time.
In addition to the two of them, whether it is Qi Jie, He Runqing, or Liao Liao, they are obviously Li Qian's fans.
For Qi Jie, the most unforgettable song in this life is exactly what Li Qian sang to her! The heart-rending song that hit her soul and made her suddenly wake up to today's "Little Bird", which still makes her unforgettable!
As for He Runqing, although the only work of Li Qian she has heard is a slightly weird Chinese-style rap, in addition, only when recording the Five Elements Wusu, she only heard Li Qian occasionally teach and sing a few words, but she also recognizes Li Qian's singing skills.
It's hard to say that he is invincible in the world, but at least, he comes to sing the songs he wrote, and it will definitely not be worse than anyone else's singing!
As for Liao Liao, that's not to mention!
For her at present, coercion and temptation to let Li Qian sing with her, and let Li Qian start to make his voice in front of the fans, is simply her greatest pleasure and pursuit now!
At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at him in disdain, Li Qian smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I don't sing! The life of ordinary people like this is very good, I don't want to be famous or anything!"
Hearing him say this, others are not very easy to persuade anything, but Qi Jie couldn't help but say: "You just sing, you sing so well, it just so happens that our studio is short of male singers, so you can record a song, okay?"
Li Qian's head shook like a rattle!
Liao Liao sneered and looked at him with his eyes, "Hey, whoever makes you only see beautiful women in your eyes, so not a single male singer signs, anyway, as the studio's deputy director of music, I recommend Li Qian to sing!"
When Li Qian heard this, his head was full of black lines.
At this time, He Runqing lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, then she turned her head to look at Liao Liao, and when the two of them looked at each other, she quickly raised her hand like a primary school student, "I agree with Deputy Director Liao's suggestion!"
Qi Jie also pretended to raise her hand, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Agreed!"
The corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched.
And at this time, Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei glanced at each other, Sun Meimei smiled and said: "Chat with Runqing, chat with Liao Liao, they are all full of praise for Mr. Li's singing skills, but I haven't heard it yet, or will you really come to a song?"
Li Qian pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Li Jinlong.
And Li Jinlong raised his hand without hesitation and said with a smile: "I also agree!"
Li Qian raised his hand helplessly and rubbed his brows.

I know that the recent update is not fast, so it seems that there is no confidence in asking for a monthly pass, but it is really a person in the field, busy every day, physically and mentally exhausted, and it is already my best to ensure that I can keep changing. So, all I can say is to ask for a monthly pass now and wait until I get home before breaking out.
Well, I sincerely ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued......)
