Chapter 136: Xie Mingyuan
The place where the three of them met was a music café.
The place was chosen by Xie Mingyuan, it is not big, it is the kind of roadside shop that you usually see, but when you walk in, the environment is very elegant, and there are not many guests, so there are two or three tables of guests sitting sparsely, all of them are like three or two friends holding tea and talking.
Xie Mingyuan came over and waited half an hour in advance, and when Li Qian and Liao Liao pushed the door in, he caught a glimpse of it, and stood up to say hello as soon as possible.
Singers who have reached the level of Liao Liao, as long as they go out, they must already be fully armed, because with the increasing development of contemporary media, many fans are very familiar with the appearance of their favorite singers.
On the contrary, it is Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan, don't look at the actual coffee positions in the circle, they can at least overpower Liao Liao by one level, but when they walked on the street, no one knew them.
Previously, when the album "Liao Liao" was listed, Xie Mingyuan's father, Mr. Xie Jinshun, once wrote an article to praise it, although it may not be of much help to the sales of the album, but in the circle, it is equivalent to directly giving Liao Liao a very high praise, to be honest, with Mr. Xie's influence in the circle, he has praised it very much, and others have opinions, and it is not easy to talk about it, and it is impossible to get too many people to approve of it, which is naturally a favor for Liao Liao.
So after going out to promote and returning to Shuntian Mansion, Chen Changsheng wanted to hold a celebration banquet for her, and Liao Liao personally invited him to Mr. Xie's house, that is, at that time, she and Xie Mingyuan, the actual head of Sony Records, already had a relationship. Later, taking the opportunity of everyone to get together to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, Xie Mingyuan saw Liao Liao again, and directly invited Liao Liao to sign in to Sony Records, the so-called offer of 30 million for forty songs, which was given by Xie Mingyuan at that time.
And now, it's the third time they've seen each other in a year.
Seeing Xie Mingyuan get up and wave from a distance, Liao Liao beckoned Li Qian to go over. A few steps away from him, he took off his sunglasses and beret, and then shook hands with Xie Mingyuan very politely.
After Liao Liao. It's Li Qian.
Xie Mingyuan held Li Qian's hand tightly and shook it again and again.
"The times are changing, the market is changing, and today's domestic pop music scene is the only way to make you and your ears!"
Evaluation of this sentence. It's heavy!
When Qingmei boiled wine and Zang was a figure in the world, Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, said this to himself, and praised Liu Bei very much, and later the two became two of the heroes of the world.
It can be said that being able to say this as soon as we meet shows that Xie Mingyuan thinks highly of himself, and it also shows that he really admires Li Qian - of course, whether it is Yimei or not, this is another matter.
But even if it's beautiful, it's definitely the highest level of beauty.
The domestic pop music scene. There are dozens of regular record companies alone, and other large and small so-called record companies, even leather bag companies, and even so-called record companies that do not make records but only do commercial performances, together are estimated to have two or three hundred, of which the largest and most powerful are the three giants of Sony, Huage and Cinda.
Among the three giants, Sony Records, a Sino-Japanese joint venture, is the leading one.
And in Sony Records, Xie Mingyuan is a well-deserved first person, and even the general manager of the Japanese side can't suppress him as a music director!
Therefore, although Xie Mingyuan is in the situation of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, he is still a little arrogant. But in the end, he can still wipe some edges, which is deserved to some extent, but he used Liu Bei, the future emperor of Shu Han, to compare Li Qian, for Li Qian, who is just a free musician at the moment, who has only become popular with two newcomers, and is still a newcomer himself. But it's absolutely overrated.
Everyone in the world loves to listen to good things, ordinary musicians, if they can get Xie Mingyuan's evaluation, it is estimated that they will be so happy that they can't sleep for three days, and they can boast about it for a lifetime when they look back - after all, Xie Mingyuan's identity and status are there, what he said. There is still enough credibility and persuasiveness.
So when he heard this, Liao Liao, who was about to sit down on his side, couldn't help but turn his head in surprise.
But Li Qian only smiled faintly when he heard this, patted Xie Mingyuan's hand, and said, "Mr. Xie is too famous!" and then changed the topic lightly: "This place is not easy to find, we have been delaying for a long time, so you have to wait for a long time." But he didn't answer Xie Mingyuan's words at all.
After brushing it, Xie Mingyuan's heart was a little cold.
Of course, with Xie Mingyuan's age and city government, even if there are fluctuations in his heart, he will never be seen at a glance, he let go of his hand, smiled, gave up his seat, and beckoned the waiter to come over, asked Li Qian and Liao Liao's preferences, ordered a pot of Biluochun for Li Qian and himself, and ordered an extra glass of soda for Liao Liao - Liao Liao had just finished recording an album, and it was when his throat was the most tired and sensitive, and green tea was not allowed to drink, and it was easy to stimulate the vocal cords.
Well, after ordering the tea and asking for a few refreshments, the three of them sat down relatively well, and Xie Mingyuan first asked about Li Qian's exam with a smile - for the three of them, this is the simplest topic, and the least need to avoid and think about.
Of course, when talking about Li Qian's admission to the film academy, Xie Mingyuan couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts in his heart, because Li Qian's reaction was too strange.
He responded like this, of course, he had a bit of a pampering style, but this was too light?
Did he know that he was going to pull him into Sony, but in fact, he didn't want to come, so as soon as he met, he put his attitude down first, so that he wouldn't be too enthusiastic later, so that he would not be able to refuse?
Still is...... Liu Bei, who is divided into three parts of the world, didn't put it in his eyes at all?
If that's the case, then he's even prouder than himself!
In fact, before this official meeting, as early as when Liao Liao's album was first released, Xie Mingyuan had already begun to pay attention to Li Qian, and even when the album "Liao Liao" was on fire, other record companies were busy asking around who Li Qian was. What is Li Qian's contact information, with Xie Mingyuan's ability and influence, he has already got Li Qian's contact information in his hands early, and it has been seven or eight months so far, although Li Qian is outside the music world, he still has various connections and interactions with this circle.
He Runqing got "Half a Pot of Yarn" from Li Qian through Cao Zhan around the bend, and he knew the situation clearly, because He Runqing was a signed singer of Sony Records. And he dug it up himself, and there was some friendship between the two.
Li Qian followed Wang Huaiyu to learn about suona, and as soon as he heard the news from the circle, he immediately called Wang Huaiyu's mobile phone directly - the two were originally old classmates and old friends. Wang Huaiyu is at the old man Xie Jinshun, and he is also a disciple, this kind of thing, and it doesn't involve any secrets, can he not say it?
Of course. Li Qian helped the little girls of Hua Ge to make albums, and even included the contracts signed between them, and he was almost the first person in this circle to get the exact content except for the relevant people of Hua Ge.
Therefore, after seven or eight months of various understandings, he actually thought that he already knew Li Qian quite well.
But obviously, Li Qian under the meeting is still a little different from the Li Qian he imagined - more modest, but more arrogant.
So Xie Mingyuan didn't understand it a little.
He smiled and said, "Whether I'm or my old father, I've been in the art world for many years. Although making music and making movies are two different professions after all, there are still some old friends, why don't you invite a few old friends out and have a meal together?"
Well, although this is a bit big and a little pretentious, it can be regarded as a close word.
Xie Mingyuan felt that if Li Qian was really arrogant, then he should have some resistance in his heart, and then, between his eyebrows and his face. It's sure to reveal a little bit of displeasure.
But to his surprise, Li Qian just smiled blandly when he heard this, and said, "I'm just going to give it a try, if I really can't pass the exam, forget it." Anyway, I have a bowl of rice to eat now, and I don't have to go to college. ”
Xie Mingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly smiled.
Also, isn't it just a film school, didn't Li Qian just take the visiting professor of the music academy who is very likely to get his hands on it seriously? If he can't be admitted to the film school, he is still a heavyweight in the music circle?
I stared at him so much about going to film school. On the contrary, it seems to be a bit of a fuss.
So, he changed the topic at that time and asked Liao Liao, "Feifei's album has been on the market for two weeks, how is it, have you heard it? Do you have any comments that I need to convey to Feifei?"
At this time, the waiter brought tea, although Liao Liao didn't drink tea, he still consciously stood up to help the two men pour tea, and after pouring the tea, he returned to his seat and picked up his cup of soda, she smiled and said: "Sister Feifei's album has always been tired of listening, her voice alone is enough to fascinate me, what else do you need to evaluate?" Oh, by the way, if you have to say an evaluation, please Mr. Xie help me with a sentence, just say that my sister has been urging me to ask me for a signed photo of Sister Feifei, hoping that she can give me one for me to give up, ah...... I could have traded mine for her!"
Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard this.
This is also in the café, if it is changed in the office, it is estimated that he will laugh out loud.
However, this obvious joke shows that Liao Liao is not resistant to Sony records - and this is a good start.
This kind of thing, of course, he should take a bite to do. Then, he turned his head to look at Li Qian again, and asked with a smile, "What does Qian Shao think?"
If there is only this sentence, this is a topic that is clearly praised by others, and Xie Mingyuan specially invited Li Qian and Liao Liao over, obviously not to let them praise Feng Feifei for a few words, although Feng Feifei is a very heavy singer under Sony.
So at this time, without waiting for Li Qian to answer, he sighed again and said to himself: "It's a pity that Feifei is already under the sun!"
Liao Liao was surprised when he heard this, Li Qian smiled even more, and said: "Mr. Xie has no reason to express this emotion, Feng Feifei's album was directly on the top five of the Dongguan Bookstore's sales ranking as soon as it was released, which is also called the decline of the river?"
Xie Mingyuan smiled and said: "From the songs you wrote to the record you made, I can know very clearly that you are one of the few people in this circle who understands, but I don't think I'm confused, why, Mo Feiqian feels that some things are inconvenient to say?"
After a pause, he didn't wait for Li Qian's answer again, and said to himself: "Zhen Zhen, Runqing, Feifei and Zhou Yan are recognized as the four great divas in the domestic music scene in the past ten years, this is true, but in the next ten years, Zhen Zhen, Runqing and Feifei will definitely fall behind gradually." Again, times are changing, and the market is changing. Our country's economy is getting better and better, and the people and fans are getting richer and richer, so the capacity of the market must continue to strengthen, but with the improvement of living standards, with more and more integration with foreign cultures, family and country thoughts, and some majestic things are destined to be replaced by themes such as personal emotions and personal lives......! The future of this market belongs to Zhou Yan and Liao Liao, and their urban love songs are the mainstream of the future market - what does Qian Shao think I said?
Seeing Xie Mingyuan say this, Liao Liao couldn't help but look at Li Qian with concern.
And Li Qian was silent for a moment, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and finally nodded slowly.
This is really an unavoidable topic in the current music world, that is, a new era has really come.
Although Zhen Zhen once led an era, although she sang the strongest note for female singers, and although it greatly improved the status of female singers in the market and society, as Xie Mingyuan said, with the development of the times, more personal emotional expression is the mainstream of the whole society, and it will naturally be the main direction of the development of the music industry in the future.
Of course, the narrower it gets, it doesn't mean that there will be no market, but it will get smaller and smaller.
Similar to her situation, there is also He Runqing, the queen of sweet songs, who has sung sweet songs all the way to the present, and Feng Feifei, who has a mixed path, although he mainly focuses on folk songs, but also takes the path of folk songs and love songs.
Of course, unlike Zhen Zhen and He Runqing, Feng Feifei has been on Sony Records since her debut, with the help of Sony Records' strong connections and reputation, in the past ten years, Feng Feifei has been the most famous singer of the theme song of film and television dramas in China.
With this alone, no matter how the market changes, as long as Sony continues to support her, she can at least keep the title of "Film and Television Golden Song Diva" above her head from being snatched away.
