Chapter 41 Transformation is never easy

Listening to this, Li Qian gradually put away the smile on his face.

At first, it was polite, no matter how close it was, no matter how much it was heartfelt, what face, what reason, what excuse, etc., it was all polite refusal, but when He Runqing really said her thoughts so simply, if she played polite again, it would not be a matter of refusal, it would be a matter of despising people at all.

And He Runqing, whether it is her strength, her status, or the most important thing is the sincerity she shows, let Li Qian know that this time, she must take it seriously.

In fact, he knew very well what He Runqing wanted, so he knew that what the other party said was the truth.

And, frankly speaking, the things she said really made Li Qian's heart move.

Newcomer appointment, of course, it is impossible to give, although the other party is extremely sincere, but if Li Qian's studio really uses the newcomer contract to sign He Runqing, there will definitely be an earthquake in the circle, and at that time, Li Qian's studio will have more enemies, and everyone's jealousy and hatred for the studio will be even more irresistible.

But in fact, even if you don't sign a newcomer contract, even if you sign a contract that is fair to both parties, it still represents a great gain for Li Qian's studio.

First of all, of course, it is He Runqing.

Things in the world are always like this, even if it is a small business, it is extremely difficult to reach the top level, strength, talent, hard work, and luck are all indispensable.

He Runqing has been popular in the domestic music scene for ten years, and there is no doubt that the time and place are favorable. She doesn't lack anything. On the voice, on the singing skills, on the scene, on the appeal, on the image. Despite starting to go downhill. But she is still a diva with Liao Liao. At present, she is just starting to be a little unable to keep up with the changes of the times, but her golden sign is still priceless.

Secondly, as she said, her joining will really bring a very direct increase in income to the studio, because of her diligence. In the entire domestic music scene, it is really well-known.

She has debuted for ten years, and she has been popular for ten years, almost every year, she is not the most popular one, there is Zhen Zhen in the front, Zhou Yan in the middle, and Liao Liao in the last two years, all of them can compete with her in album sales, and even hold her down steadily, but if you really talk about income. Zhen Zhen, who has also been popular for ten years, plus Zhou Yan, who has been popular for four or five years. Coupled with Liao Liao, who has just become popular for more than a year recently, the three of them together do not earn as much as she herself. Perhaps, only Feng Feifei, who has been making money in a low-key manner and binge-watching film and television golden songs, can reluctantly compare with her, but it is definitely not as good as her.

Moreover, don't look at her limited album sales now, if you want to take on commercial performances, her price is still not low, and the commercial performance companies and units that are willing to invite her will never be less than Liao Liao - this is the status of ten years later!

Wuxing Wusu has become popular, and the price of commercial performances may soar overnight to a level that everyone can hope for, but when an album is pounced, their price will fall immediately, and even if it is the price code after it falls, the performers must be careful when invited, but He Runqing's level will not be the case at all, even if a certain album is pounced, her commercial performance price is still high - even if it is for a certain feeling, there are many people who are willing to listen to He Runqing sing live. This kind of market appeal accumulated purely by time is definitely not comparable to the popular newcomers or new divas like Wuxing Wusu or Liao Liao who have just emerged in the first year or two.

The key thing is that she is diligent enough and has been popular for ten years, she has released more than a dozen albums, more than one a year, and more albums naturally represent a huge workload, but on the basis of such a large workload, she can still spare a lot of time every year to run up to forty or fifty commercial performances every year!

She didn't seem to know what "rest" was all about, and she never seemed to get tired.

Then, it is obvious that every income of an artist, the contracted company and the studio, will have a share, and the higher her income, the more the contracted company will share.

If you really calculate it seriously, even if Liao Liao's album sells 10 million copies, the income she brings may not be as good as He Runqing's album selling two or three million copies!

So, what if He Runqing's album can also sell five or six million copies, or even more?

She's going to be a huge gold mine!

It's just that...... It's not easy!

With the development of the times and the acceleration of the pace of people's lives, He Runqing's sweet songs are really gradually declining, so if she continues to release sweet songs, sell 12 million copies of an album, and then run commercial performances, and continue to make money for a few years, of course, it will be no problem, but it will be difficult to make her album sell five million copies.

Transformation is a must!

But the transformation ...... It's never been tough!

Especially like He Runqing, she has almost become a signature figure in the entire domestic music scene, her voice and her image have long been fixed - the advantage of this is that her audience is quite stable, and her commercial performance price has never dropped, but the disadvantage is that it is countless times more difficult for her to transform than other singers.

Although Li Qian has a huge amount of resources in his hands, although he can come up with countless excellent works, he can also learn from and refer to the success or failure examples of many singers in that time and space, but if he wants him to make a transformation album, he is still unsure.

And once the transformation fails, she can really only continue to eat the bowl of sweet songs in her life, until she completely retires, with her age of Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the golden period is at most ten years, and considering that her appeal is already a downward curve, it is obvious that she has absolutely no chance for a second transformation.

Li Qian stretched out his hand to grab his chin and kept swaying.

He Runqing finished speaking, and looked at him without blinking.

She has already said that she wants to continue to be popular, then, everything is in plain sight - she is going to transform!

Why can't she even wait a year, have to pay for the contract herself, and even have to get into such a stiff relationship with Sony? Because she understands it very well. She is thirty years old. Every year that follows. For her, it's all about the countdown to her career.

She also made it clear that in the current domestic music scene, she thinks that there is only one Li Qian who is the most promising and most likely to help her successfully transform.

Today's music scene is recognized as the hottest three sections, that is, youth fast songs, urban love songs, and Chinese style. And the first launcher of these three styles, the market leader of these three styles. And the most successful person so far, is Li Qian.

Therefore, what Li Qian said about not being good at making sweet songs will naturally be broken.

After a while, Li Qian looked up at her, frowned, and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

He Runqing nodded, "I've thought about it." I've thought about it for a long time, I'm just waiting for your studio to open, or I'd have come early. ”

Li Qian rubbed his chin. Continue to frown, "Want to transform?"

He Runqing nodded again. Said in a firm tone: "To transform!"

Li Qian let out a long breath and let himself collapse into the sofa, closing his eyes, and constantly reaching out and rubbing his temples.

To be, or not to?

Well, frankly speaking, even if it is the same song, choose a newcomer with the right conditions in all aspects to create, for Li Qian, for the acceptance of the market, it must be easier, a blank piece of paper is easy to paint!

You must know that for a singer, ten years of solidification is not only her external image and singing path, but also her pronunciation, her singing voice, her breath, and all her singing habits...... Changing this is no less difficult than changing her image in the market!

But, well, it's a little bit more challenging.

Whether it is from the perspective of loving music, challenging the difficulty, or from the perspective of making money, it is not negotiable to sign her, but whether it is from the perspective of being responsible for herself, or from the perspective of scruples to the development route of the studio, and from the scruples to the gold content of her gold medal promoter, it seems that you should really be cautious, and refuse her without negotiation!

At this moment, even He Runqing, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was staring at Li Qian intently, waiting for the results of his thinking, but he couldn't help but sweat in his palms!

After many years, she actually experienced the feeling of anticipation mixed with apprehension and worry again.

She's really a little nervous!

You know, since she really became popular, there is basically no one or anything that can give her such a feeling. And now, the young man sitting across from her, his next words will most likely determine the direction of her career for the next ten years, how can she not be nervous?

After about two or three minutes, maybe seven or eight minutes, who knows, no one cares about this, He Runqing just noticed that Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to light up suddenly.

He Runqing sat up in an instant, nervously and even deliberately holding his breath.

Li Qian also left the back of the sofa, sat up straight, looked at her with a straight face, and said, "I still decided to ......"

As soon as these five words came out, He Runqing's face changed instantly.

Still is!

He Runqing pursed her lips slightly, her palms clenched into fists fiercely, and her face was a little pale.

The next words seemed to make Li Qian a little embarrassed, so he unconsciously made two gestures, and then said: "That's it, Sister Runqing, I know you want to transform, but your voice and your singing habits for so many years have all decided, you basically can't transform!

He Runqing was already excited, aggrieved, puzzled, and even a little annoyed and angry...... As soon as Li Qian said this, she directly provoked her anger, although many years of experience in dealing with people made her still control and did not run away on the spot, but when she spoke, she still couldn't help but bring some tone, "Why can't I sing anything else?" I was born in singing mountain songs, and I sang in the mountains when I was a child, and the reason why I sang sweet songs was because the producer who discovered me at that time told me that I could be popular when I sang sweet songs, and I listened to him and really sang them, so I continued to sing sweet songs, but it doesn't mean that I can't sing anything else!"

Facing He Runqing, who was in a hurry and angry, Li Qian's face was almost expressionless at first, and then, a light smile was unconsciously revealed, and in He Runqing's eyes, there was suddenly a sense of "disdain", so her face was red and white for a while, and she became more and more anxious and angry.

And at this time, Li Qian's fingers unconsciously knocked on his leg a few times, and then said, "Then you mean, you can sing any song?"

He Runqing was stunned for a moment, her years of life experience made her react quickly, and immediately said: "I didn't say that I can sing any song, but at least, Chinese style and urban love songs, I am absolutely fine!"

Hearing this, Li Qian nodded slowly, let out a long "oh", and then said, "Then if you want to say that, do you think that as long as I write you a few Chinese style and urban love songs, you can easily complete the transformation?"

He Runqing was stunned when he heard this.

Of course, she knows that transformation is not that simple.

Otherwise, even if she continues to stay at Sony, as long as the price is enough, she can still get the song from Li Qian, after all, Li Qian has even opened a studio, which is a shelf that opens the door to do business, and if there is business, it is natural to do it, the difference is only the relationship between the price and the price.

But with the failure of the transformation of the last album "Bitter Bamboo", of course she already knows that just like that, obviously not enough!

At least not enough for her to transform.

Therefore, at present, if she wants to successfully complete the transformation, she needs Li Qian to show 100% of her talent and effort to help her monitor and produce at least one album throughout the process.

Then, she seemed to suddenly understand the reason why Li Qian had always refused to sign her.

That is: even he is not sure!

Or: making such an album is too tiring for Li Qian! The risk is too great!

After a pause, she couldn't help but lower her head, but soon, she raised her head again, and said with a very firm gaze: "Sign me, you are responsible for writing songs and making albums for me, then, whatever you say, you can sing whatever you want, I will sing as you want! Moreover, don't worry, even if you fail, I don't blame you, I will continue to help you make money!"

Li Qian looked at her with surprise, "Is it okay?"

He Runqing nodded, "Of course!"

After a long time, Li Qian nodded, "That's it...... As he spoke, he thought for a moment, then suddenly got up, opened the door and shouted outside, "Can anyone get me a pen and a few blank sheet music?"
