In the coffee shop, Li Qian wore headphones and held a book in his hand, reading a book while slowly sipping coffee.

Suddenly, something passed through the corner of his eye, Li Qian subconsciously glanced over, and suddenly his eyes lit up - since the last time he saw it, he had always remembered this kind of cat.

So he closed the book and tapped the coffee cup with a spoon.

The fat and sultry black cat didn't look at him, slowly walked between the two rows of booths, and then jumped up, sat down on a chair, slowly turned his head and neck, and looked around.

Majestic, like a king overlooking his own kingdom.

Li Qian smiled and tapped the small spoon in his hand again, this time, he deliberately brought a little rhythm.

Sure enough, the cat looked back.

Its eyes, Li Qian really couldn't help but see and praise once.

Its coat is dark and shiny, but its eyes are blue and blue, and it looks like a god.

What is especially pleasing is that this time, Li Qian came with a camera.

So, Li Qian knocked a few more times, continuing to attract its attention, and then quietly took out the camera from the small backpack - seeing this, the cat immediately turned back with disdain.

Ding! Ding!

Li Qian knocked again, then picked up a small snack with a smile and shook it at it.

It looked at Li Qian with some confusion, but it still looked unmoved. So, Li Qian put the piece of dim sum on the table, pushed it in its direction, and then quickly picked up the camera.

Click! Click!

Li Qian took three photos in a row, and suddenly felt a big heart.

The cat looked at him and jumped out of the chair in disdain. And at this time. The camera in Li Qian's hand kept stopping. It's still capturing its every move continuously.

I thought it was going to go away. But before it came to pass, it didn't know if it was attracted by the clicking camera that flashed and sounded, jumped off the chair and walked out a few steps, actually turned its head and walked over, jumped up, got on the chair opposite Li Qian, and then jumped again, and got on the table.

Li Qian was overjoyed. He pushed the snack in front of it.

It glanced at the dim sum, flicked its paws, and directly pushed it aside, then tilted its head to look at the camera in Li Qian's hand.

“Oh，No！K……”

The tall Frenchman whom Li Qian had seen once, but who had not remembered his name, walked over, spoke slightly broken Chinese, and said to the cat, "You know, you can't go to the guest's table......"

As he spoke, the man walked over and turned his head. When he saw Li Qian, his face was full of surprise.

“Oh…… GOD!Lee ......"

Li Qian stood up. Stretched out his hand, pretending to remember the other party, and said, "Hello, meet again." As he spoke, he had already seen Xie Mingyuan.

After shaking hands, the Frenchman picked up his cat by the waist, and at the same time couldn't help but say to Li Qian excitedly: "Mr. Li, your works are super good, I especially like your song "Nothing", compared to the wanton catharsis of "No Place for Self-Respect", I think "Nothing" is a jazzy work, and the temperament is more charming...... Oh yes, I'm your fan!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Thank you." Personally, I prefer that one as well. ”

"Oh......" The man suddenly looked speechless with surprise, and didn't pay attention to Xie Mingyuan who was standing behind him, but said, "You like K, right?

This time it was Li Qian's turn to be a little surprised, and he couldn't help but say, "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" he said.

Li Qian reached out to pick it up, and only then did he feel that this cat was really fat.

The cat stared at him with wide eyes and an innocent expression, and then, when Li Qian was about to hold it in his arms, he suddenly struggled, jumped over, and threw himself into the arms of the Frenchman at once.

The man shrugged helplessly.

Li Qian also shook his head helplessly, but he still said: "It's so beautiful, like a king." ”

…………

Finally, the verbose French boss Kittenly finally left, Xie Mingyuan came to sit down, and when the coffee came up, he saw the camera and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, you still learn photography professionally!"

And he asked, "What, you like that cat so much?"

Li Qian nodded, put away the camera, and said, "If I want to make a movie another day, I must find a way to shoot it." ”

Xie Mingyuan smiled and did not comment.

The two chatted casually, and after a while, the coffee was served, Xie Mingyuan stirred, took a sip, and said: "I asked you to come out this time, except that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to chat with you, mainly because there are two things to discuss with you." ”

Hearing him get down to business, Li Qian put away his smile, nodded, and said, "You say." ”

Xie Mingyuan said: "The first thing is that our company is going to organize a group of singers to hold a tour in Southeast Asia. Mainly in some big cities, there are currently eight places selected, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, mainly Chinese people. I want to invite Liao Liao and He Runqing to go with them, after all, they are also very influential over there. ”

Li Qian nodded and did not speak.

So Xie Mingyuan continued: "Of course, there is not much money in this matter, our company will produce a few people, and in the circle, like Liao Liao and He Runqing of your company, a few people will also be invited, but the remuneration for these singers will not be too high, and even, much less than when they go out to take on commercial performances." ”

Li Qian nodded again, thought about it, and said, "For this kind of thing, you should contact the company directly." You know, in our company, I don't care about that. ”

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "Of course I know that you don't care about this, in fact, I also sent someone to talk to your President Qi, but ...... The price was not negotiated, and she should be quite dissatisfied. ”

Li Qian shrugged and laughed.

The implication seems to be: Then if you give less, it will be useful to find me?

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "It's not that I don't want to give more, Watanabe there." It's not that I don't want to give more. It is really a channel for the whole of Southeast Asia. It's all from Sony in Japan, so for them, this tour must be to make more money, and the singer's side, of course, can squeeze as much as they can. ”

At this, he paused. Only then did he say: "Anyway, it's also a singer from our country, not theirs." ”

Li Qian smiled, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and then asked with a smile: "Do you think I will agree to find me alone?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and didn't speak.

Li Qian thought about it, and finally shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I promised you, you will send someone to the company to talk about it later." I'll say hello to Qi Jie. ”

When Xie Mingyuan heard this, he laughed. "That's right!"

Li Qian smiled bitterly: "But ...... Wang Jingxue's incident, let's turn it over!"

Xie Mingyuan's eyes widened when he heard this, "Hey...... You know very well in your heart, you fully understand why you agreed, so I am not willing to use this favor in this place, absolutely not!"

Li Qian hurriedly waved his hand, looking like a scoundrel, "I don't care! Anyway, this matter is here! Let's two of them, the two of us are clear!" Then, no matter what Xie Mingyuan said, he said directly: "You go on, didn't you say two things just now? What else is there, hurry up, I have to leave quickly after I finish speaking, I'm busy!"

Xie Mingyuan looked at him helplessly, and then burst out laughing again, and said, "Do you know? I've known you for so long, just now, I suddenly saw a little bit of what a person of your age should look like in you!"

Li Qian laughed and ignored his run.

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "I think you're quite idle, how about it, the album is finished?"

Li Qian nodded and said, "The recording is over." But then he said, "But I'm not idle, I still have two albums to do!

Xie Mingyuan remembered that when he first came, he saw him teasing the cat and patting the cat, shook his head and smiled, and said, "That's okay, I'll talk about things." The second thing is, your own women want to fight in the nest, I can't control it, they can fight as much as they like, but I said, can you persuade the person in our company, let's not fight in the market? This is a loss, but our Sony money!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "You don't have confidence in your sister-in-law, right?

Xie Mingyuan pursed his lips and said directly to his heart: "Whether I have confidence or not, whether she has confidence or not, others don't know, you know it in your heart! Zhou Yan is very strong, according to our market research, after the release of her last album, she is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more fans who like her, far beyond the peak time before she quit the music scene. However, this time the opponent she chose was Liao Liao! Brother, give me a face, persuade her, for now, Liao Liao is not something she can touch!"

Li Qian thought about it, sighed distressedly, and said to Xie Mingyuan: "If I say, I can't persuade me, do you believe it?"

Xie Mingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but suddenly laughed.

"Don't say it, I really believe it when you say that. She...... That's right, if she were a persuad, she wouldn't be her!"

After saying this, the two smiled bitterly at each other.

…………

After chatting with Xie Mingyuan for a long time in the coffee shop, Li Qian shook hands with him and said goodbye, and drove back to the company.

Cao Zhan is an all-round player, when the album "Fake Monk" was not recorded, he had already stated that he would personally do the post-production, so of course Li Qian had no possibility of disagreeing, and he just sent a few post-production personnel in his company to follow the secret teacher.

Therefore, after the album was recorded, the post-processing was handed over to Cao Zhan, and he could take a breath for the time being.

After returning to the company, he found Qi Jie, Li Qian told Qi Jie about Xie Mingyuan's proposal just now to let Liao Liao and He Runqing participate in the Southeast Asian tour, and then turned around and was about to leave, ready to go to Sheepfold Hutong for dinner, but Qi Jie stopped him.

Qi Jie looked very unwilling, and chased after Li Qian: "Do you know how much the offer from Sony is given? A person will give 80,000 yuan per game! This is Liao Liao and He Runqing, and when they receive commercial performances in China, they are all called for about 1 million yuan per performance! This is good, the big plane flies to Southeast Asia, and you will give 80,000 yuan for one game, and you agree to this?"

In the past year, especially after completing the release of two albums alone and achieving success, Qi Jie is gradually experiencing and growing, and now she is. already has a quite strong female aura on her body.

Something that involves music. Of course, she still believes in the theory that "Li Qian is absolutely right". But when it comes to business, she has become more and more daring to deny Li Qian's ideas and decisions.

After thinking about it, Li Qian patiently explained: "This trip is no longer a matter of making money or not making money, don't you understand? It is Southeast Asia! Even if you lose money, as long as time permits, as long as you have the opportunity to go there to do commercial performances, performances, or activities, you must go!"

Qi Jie was extremely puzzled when she heard this. "Why, do you have to lose money?"

Li Qian simply turned around and explained to her seriously: "Our domestic entertainment and music started late, and there has always been civil strife, so at least in terms of distribution channels, even Xinda and Huage don't have much influence in that area, there is only one Sony, through Sony Japan." There is a certain distribution capacity there. For the time being, in terms of channels. We can't think much about it, in fact, in that market, we can't make a lot more money by selling the album's distribution agent, but if we make less now, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to earn it all back in the future!"

After a pause, he added: "There are so many people in Southeast Asia, and many of them are Chinese-speaking overseas Chinese. It can be said that that place is naturally the consumption circle of Chinese culture. Our domestic music and songs, including movies and TV series, have always had a certain influence there. It's just that our domestic market is very large, just the domestic part, so that everyone can eat all-you-can-eat, plus the country does not pay attention to cultural export, so the Southeast Asian market, although it is already very fat, very attractive, but no one in China has been vigorously developed. ”

As he spoke, the expression on his face became more and more serious, as if he was saying something important about the nation, "But if no one does it now, it doesn't mean that no one will do it in the future." In the future, with the intensification of competition, it is very likely that for our domestic companies in the art and cultural industry, it will be a situation of 'those who win Southeast Asia will win the world'! Therefore, even if there is no money to be made, even if it is lost, the artists in the company, including Liao Liao and He Runqing, as long as they have the opportunity, will have to go over and become familiar with each other! Because at this stage, what we need to do is to cultivate the centripetal force of this market for Chinese culture!"

After a pause, he said again: "Even if we take 10,000 steps back, even if there is no market for the time being, we can eat enough, and no one is afraid, but at least, you also know, the export of European and American culture is getting more and more powerful, more and more turbulent, with the advent of globalization, with the development of the Internet, even if we can't eat the sweetness of that side for the time being, we can't let such a large natural market be pried into their own plate by the Americans little by little, right?"

For Xie Mingyuan, who has high artistic achievements and has lived abroad for a long time, and is still in charge of such a large company after returning to China, this is the so-called national cultural consciousness.

And Xie Mingyuan firmly believes that people who have reached Li Qian's level must be able to say it thoroughly, in fact, after experiencing the pain of retreating again and again in Chinese culture in another time and space, Li Qian did understand Xie Mingyuan's deep meaning as soon as he heard it.

So, the two of them met and hit it off.

But at this level, Qi Jie had almost no chance to think about it carefully, so when she heard it at this time, she immediately felt an inexplicable sense of arrogance.

So, Li Qian Balabala said, almost a tirade, but Qi Jie's eyes widened more and more when he heard it.

In a trance, it seemed that a larger world opened up in front of me.

Yes, Li Qian is right, that part of Southeast Asia has such a good foundation of Chinese culture, and it is naturally the export place of Chinese cultural artworks, audio-visual products and entertainment products!

Thinking about this, she clapped her hands, which startled Li Qian.

Then, seeing Qi Jie's excited look, he said, "Cheng, then promise them! When they go back, I will follow them!"

What, when it comes to naming, I originally wanted to call it "Rose Army", or "Stone Record", but I think it's too LOW, so it's called "Rose Power", and the naming style has always been so full of local flavor, scum to the extreme, I don't want to laugh......

In addition, I recommend myself with a shy face, my Weibo account is called "Author Knife Cultivation", fans? Other authors are tens of thousands of people at every turn, and I only have more than 200 fans now, and I feel that I can't raise my head!

Finally, February is coming soon, during the Spring Festival, but don't worry, I'm still hard to get up quickly, but I will try my best to ensure that it is constantly updated, so that even during the Chinese New Year, there can be a chapter update every day to see, okay? )
