Chapter Ninety-Eight: You're Red!
"But now, the distribution companies that rejected me before have also taken the initiative to come to the door, but I am still holding it for the time being, and no one has talked to them. I'm just thinking that we're now in a position to talk to them about exclusive releases. Once the exclusive distribution contract is signed, they can only release our albums in the future, and our distribution channel will be completely opened. ”
"But I thought about it again, let's have two albums a year, although what you do is Liao Liao and Sister Runqing's albums, they must be easy to sell, but two albums a year, no matter how big the money is, people may not be willing to sign an exclusive contract with us, don't you say? An album sells well, only one or two months, and then it will slowly go long-term, if that person signs an exclusive contract with us, the remaining seven or eight months of the year, wouldn't you have to raise a group of people for nothing?
Li Qian was concentrating on reading the plot outline, but as he listened, he couldn't help but take his mind back, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Jie, "You don't mean it...... How many more singers to sign?"
Qi Jie clapped her hands when she heard this, and didn't answer Li Qian's words, but just turned her head to look at Wang Huaiyu and said with a smile: "Teacher Wang, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
Wang Huaiyu smiled and said: "I really don't understand this business matter. However, think about it simply, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and there is some truth to your idea!"
After winning Wang Huaiyu's support, Qi Jie's confidence suddenly increased, turned her head to look at Li Qian, and said with a smile: "You see, Teacher Wang also supports my idea." That's the truth, if you don't advance, you will retreat!"
After a pause, seeing that Li Qian seemed to be smiling on his face, she quickly explained: "Don't look at our studio is so lively now, distributors, distributors, film and television companies. The performance company is about to squeeze our door! Those musicians, producers, agents, and singers all came to our studio to sit and drink tea and find someone to chat. Meimei is already proposing to me whether to open the top floor and make a café or something. ”
But if we don't take advantage of this wind to build up the scale of the studio, not to mention anything else, if we can't set the exclusive distribution channel, once this wind passes, it will save more effort next time. But we're going to have to start all over again!"
Speaking of this, she looked at Li Qian expectantly, "So...... Think again?"
Li Qian turned his head to look at her, lowered his head and pondered.
It should be said that this successful release not only gave Qi Jie great confidence, but at the same time, it seemed to hook up some of her ambitions.
It's good to be ambitious. To be a soldier is to think about being a general in the future. To be an Apple is to think about meeting Newton, turning into a mobile phone, and monopolizing square dancing...... But when it comes to business, Li Qian is really weak-minded.
Because he really doesn't understand this.
Even the last time I went to buy Feixun's stock, to be honest, it was just because he felt that QQ, a real-time chat software, was really no reason not to be popular. In fact, Li Qian had indeed witnessed how popular it was in his previous life, so he dared to make a move. And even if he bought a lot of stocks, he never had the idea of interfering with Feixun's internal management from beginning to end.
So now, in the face of Qi Jie's sudden birth of these business ambitions. Of course, Li Qian didn't know whether to support it or not - because he didn't understand, so Li Qian's positioning for himself and Li Qian's studio from the beginning was to simply make music. Although it has come step by step to the present, even as long as you are willing, as long as you nod your head and look at that posture, Qi Jie will be able to really pull up an exclusive distribution channel for the studio immediately, but what about the follow-up?
Do you really want to expand your enrollment?
More musicians are coming in, how are they managed, how are they assigned, and ...... Who to recruit?
Casting young singers?
This Li Qian doesn't think that he can't do it, but if that happens, even if he only chooses two or three newcomers to cultivate, Qi Jie definitely wants to let himself make an album for them, after all, everyone thinks that their shot is a guarantee of a blockbuster! But in that case, with Liao Liao and He Runqing, he has about four or five albums a year...... Wouldn't that be exhausting?
Please, the purpose of making music and albums is to have fun, to find joy in it, to work all year round...... What happiness is there to talk about?
So, after thinking for a long time, Li Qian said: "Teacher Qi, you know, I really don't want to make myself too tired, my time and energy, after all, are limited." So, let's say this or not, it's still the last time I told you, I don't care about business matters, and I don't understand, so I'll leave it all to you. However, in the future, I will only be responsible for making an album for Liao Liao and Sister Runqing every year, and I don't care about the rest, or at most I will write a few more songs for you a year, and then you can do it yourself, okay?"
Qi Jie frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but groan.
Li Qian said this, of course, he trusted her the most, and almost let it go, but just as Li Qian has no confidence in business, she also has no confidence in music. Even, she doesn't know any music at all!
What is the confidence that she wants to recruit, wants to sign some musicians, and even discovers a few singers to sign? Isn't it because she believes that as long as Li Qian is in charge, she doesn't need to worry about music matters at all?
But once Li Qian also became a shopkeeper in music...... To tell the truth, Qi Jie suddenly had no confidence!
Although, if she is the master and signs a new singer, even if Li Qian only writes a song for one person, it seems to be enough, it is a big deal that Li Qian writes the theme song, and then goes to the circle to invite the song!
Others don't know, at least she knows that Liao Liao can write songs, but she thinks that what she writes is not as good as Li Qian's, so she hides it and doesn't want to use her own, but it should be no problem to use it to release albums to newcomers, right? Besides, that Cao Zhan, isn't he also a songwriter in the circle? It's really not good, you can still spend money to buy songs!
Moreover, in terms of production, not to mention Li Jinlong as the foundation, it really can't be done, Li Qian can't pull it, she can't pull Liao Liao? Plus He Runqing is a diligent person......
But no, even if there are thousands of good ideas, as long as Li Qian wants to be the shopkeeper, the confidence in Qi Jie's heart is really gone immediately.
So, she thought about it for a moment and had to say, "Then or not...... Let's just wait? Wait and see how Sister Runqing's album sells?"
As soon as her words fell, Li Qian was about to nod, but Wang Huaiyu, who had been fishing silently, suddenly spoke, and he said: "I don't know anything else, you don't have to wait for this! I have listened to this album, I think it is good, Lao Cao has also heard it, we were on the phone a few days ago, and he also praised a few words, we both feel that He Runqing's transformation is simply super successful! You can rest assured, when this album is released, it will definitely make all the fans' eyes shine! This sales channel is definitely not bad!"
When Li Qian heard this, he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and point at Wang Huaiyu, and his face couldn't cry or laugh.
Wang Huaiyu smiled and didn't speak.
At this moment, Wang Huaiyu's phone rang suddenly, he lowered his head and took out an ugly old mobile phone from the small bag on the ground, and pressed the answer button - don't say it, the old mobile phone looks ugly, but the call speaker is extremely powerful.
In particular, the person on the other end of the line spoke quite loudly.
"Hey, Huaiyu, I'm Chen He. ”
"Oh, Tsuru, what do you say? ”
"Where are you?"
"I'm on the reservoir side, fishing with a friend!"
"Hey, after so many years, you're still hot about this! That's the case, I was chatting with someone just now, and I didn't know until I heard someone mention it, you and Li Qian ...... It's that Li Qian, you two have a good relationship?"
"Uh...... You know, I'm a good friend. ”
"What, then your relationship with him can be familiar enough to be able to sing?...... That's the case, what do I have on hand, now there happens to be a singer who wants to release a film, choose to choose, and I feel that I can't pick up the big beams of these songs in my hand at the moment, so I'm looking for a relationship in all directions, and I want to make a detour to see if I can pour the first work from Li Qian as the title song. After all, Li Qian, now everyone knows that his songs are true! In this circle, his songs are right! But I don't know people very well, you are the closest way I can find out, for the sake of old classmates, pull the brothers?"
"Oh...... Well, I understand what you mean, friends are friends, but I don't know if anyone has anything suitable and ready-made. That's it, I'll go back and ask for you, and when I have a letter...... It's only for two days, and I'll talk back to you, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll ask you! You can do a serious business for me! Besides, when are you free, see if you can help make an appointment with Li Qian, I'll treat you, let's eat, drink or something, you should know each other!
"Okay, that's all right, I'll talk to him about it later. But ah, in the ugly words, people are busy after all, and I'm not completely sure!"
"Gotcha! With your words, it's all right! Your Huaiyu's words, saying that there must be ten percent of the six achievements! Then I'll hang up first, please, please!"
"Hey...... I said......"
didn't wait for Wang Huaiyu to finish speaking, and hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Wang Huaiyu might not be able to do it again!
Putting down the phone, Wang Huaiyu shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.
But soon, he smiled and said to Li Qian: "Did you hear it?
