After leaving for just five days, Li Jinlong returned to Jinan Mansion with a few sisters from the Five Elements Wusu Combination. ≤≤ ≤ Xiao ≤ said,

When he came back this time, he brought Li Qian a big contract.

After signing the contract, Li Qian officially became the producer of the second album of the Five Elements Wusu Group.

According to the rules of making music in China, producers and producers are often picked up by one person to shoulder two positions, which is the greatest power, and once the two positions are separated, it must be because of the addition of big-name musicians, then the producer will be fully responsible for music affairs, and has the final decision, while the producer will completely stand behind the scenes, responsible for other powers in addition to the music content of the album, such as financial rights, personnel rights, etc.

To use a more approximate analogy, a record producer is similar to a film producer, while a producer is similar to a film director, and a singer is an actor.

Of course, unlike many film directors who don't actually have the final cut right for the release version of the movie, the producer of the record, especially the producer of many big names, such as Li Qian, who has signed this contract now, must have the final decision on the content of the album.

In short, as soon as this contract was signed, Li Jinlong changed from the top boss of Wuxing Wusu to the big butler who served Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu, and turned to be responsible for preparing and taking care of other affairs, and Wuxing Wusu's boss in music became Li Qian.

Of course, signing this contract means that Li Qian has become a community of interests with the Five Elements in the future.

The album of the Five Elements sold well, and Li Qian became rich.

And the album sells poorly, and Li Qian may not even get a penny. Busy for months in vain without talking. I also put in a few songs.

Specifically. According to the conditions proposed by Li Qian at the beginning, the other party did not change word for word and implemented the contract: calculated at a unit price of 1o yuan, if the new album sells 1oo million copies, Li Qian takes five points, it will be recorded as 5o million yuan, and if it sells 2oo million copies, Li Qian will take seven points, and 14o yuan will be credited to the account. If you sell 3oo thousand, Li Qian can get ten points, which is 3oo thousand!

As for 5oo thousand...... If it can really be sold to that amount, according to the high royalty of fifteen points stipulated in the contract, Li Qian's income from making this album for Wuxing Wusu will be as high as 750,000!

This income model is completely different from how much a song costs to sell songs!

Even those songwriters who are quite powerful and famous are not small, so they can sell at a relatively high price, as long as they are not qualified to be big enough to get a share of sales, then I am afraid that he will write for several years. Dozens of works may not be able to get this number!

Of course. According to the current domestic market, even if Li Qian makes a move, even if he does his best, he is not sure that he can get such a frightening sales data.

Liu Mingliang is good enough, right?

That is the king of the music world, and in terms of sales, it is also the absolute No.1, but his top-level sales, that is, the album that once created a domestic record of 370,000 copies sold in a single week, has been on the market since 92, and as of now, it has been more than three years, and the sales are only six platinums.

Moreover, this is one of only three six-platinum records in the country.

In addition to his album, the Flying Band's "Driving the Pig West" took eight years to get six platinums, and Zhao Xinfu's masterpiece won six platinums, which also took six years.

Further down, there are as many as eight records that can get the five platinum certification, but ...... That's right, all of them are male singers! Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Hu Yang, Feixiang Band......

The highest level among female singers is Zhen Zhen's one four platinum and two three platinum, and He Runqing's two four platinum and two three platinum, as well as Feng Feifei's one triple platinum and Zhou Yan's one triple platinum.

As far as the singing group is concerned, the current highest record in China is the first album of the "Sister Tao" group of Xinda Records, but even they have only obtained the certification of the golden record after more than half a year on the market, and they have been on the market for more than two years so far, but there is still no news that they are going to get the platinum record......

This is the current market situation that Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu will face next.

Of course, except for Li Qian himself, no one would have the luxury of asking them to make a five-platinum record. Even the sisters of the Five Elements and Elements Combination would never have that kind of extravagant hope.

At the top of the day, they just hope that they can get a platinum certification!

If you're lucky enough to get two platinums...... That already means that they are very popular, what else do you want?

Like Liu Mingliang, like Zhao Xinfu, like the Flying Band, they are already phenomenal, and they already belong to a period of time, and it can even be said that they represent the pinnacle of folk songs, folk songs and rock respectively.

In the eyes of everyone, they are already impossible to be crossed in their respective fields!

…………

After signing the contract, he put away his share, and Li Qian took out three new songs in one go.

Next, his task is to listen to the six songs that Li Jinlong brought over that have been done before, and try to select one or two works that can be used in the future, which can be regarded as helping Hua Record and Li Jinlong, the producer, minimize the loss of the previous production, after all...... The money has already been spent.

And the task of the Five Elements Wusu sisters is...... Practice, practice, practice!

As for Liu Jinlong, his task is heavier, because he is responsible for returning to Shuntianfu to do accompaniment, well, including the accompaniment of five songs, including "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Let's Swing the Sculls".

After all, the two songs that have been recorded before are only small samples, one is the live recording of the singer with accompaniment, even if there is a post-production process, it is impossible to fully meet the requirements of the studio album, and second, when it comes to Shuntianfu, the musicians who can be contacted by the Hua Song Headquarters must be a little higher than the musicians who temporarily found a team in Jinan Mansion, isn't it?

So, of course, keep improving!

Of course, in fact, even if it's an accompaniment recording. It should also be the job of Li Qian, the producer. But who let him still go to school? It was impossible to go to Shuntianfu to do this job, so he had to hand it over to Li Jinlong to do it for him, and he was only responsible for the review of semi-finished products.

…………

Saturday, September 11, morning.

After rushing to Lao Dou Records in the morning to do a morning of singing guidance for the Wuxing Wusu sisters, Li Qian declined the invitation of their agent Wu Min, and completely ignored the pitiful eyes of Zhou Pingping, Sun Ruoxuan, and Xie Bing. Only one sentence remained, "Don't want to take the opportunity to eat secretly, gnaw on your apples honestly, Brother Jin Long specially told me before leaving, let me help him watch you!", ruthlessly punctured their plan to eat with Li Qian and then take the opportunity to eat, and then went downstairs and rode a bicycle to Jing 3 Xiaowei 6.

He went over at this time, first, he made an appointment to have a meal at Cao Zhan's place, and second, yes. Send songs, add invited songs.

Send songs. It is to help Cao Zhan repay the romantic debts he owed back then, and inviting songs is his responsibility as the producer of the album Wuxing Wusu.

However, this way to ride over, from Lao Dou Records to Buwen Bookstore, it is seven or eight kilometers away, he often exercises, and boxing, but he doesn't feel tired, mainly because it took twenty or thirty minutes, which is too much time.

In fact, waiting for the red light, looking at the cars of various brands parked at the intersection, he was really excited, he wanted to buy a car, he didn't think there was a need to buy a car, and he felt that riding a bicycle was already very good, mainly because he didn't expect that there would be so many jobs in the follow-up, and he thought that there would be a quiet high school year in the future.

But now, when he went to school, he rode a bicycle to and from school, he felt quite comfortable and enjoyed, and the most important thing was that when he rode the bike, he would have a comfortable feeling of blending into the times and finding the young leaves of the strange old vegetable gang.

It's just that on the weekend, you have to run back and forth every day to run Lao Dou Records, and the problem of riding a bicycle is too late, and if you meet Lao Cao calling again, make an appointment to watch a movie together, and where to go to climb the mountain and fish or something, then you can simply wait for someone to drive to pick it up.

It's a bit of a suffocating feeling!

However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Qian still decided not to buy a car for the time being until he graduated from high school.

Pretending to be forced or not, and not being able to be a fan, are not in the scope of consideration, mainly because the psychological stereotypes that have been passed down for many years are blaming you, a high school student, driving a fart car! Do you think this is the United States?

About half an hour later, he rushed to the Buwen bookstore, because he had made an appointment in advance, Cao Zhan had already ordered takeaway for two people, so Li Qian went upstairs and handed Cao Zhan the songbook that he had prepared a long time ago, and then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Cao Zhan was also hungry, and was about to wait for Li Qian to come and start eating, took the songbook and glanced at it, but he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You even did a good job of arranging?", and then watched it seriously.

Moreover, the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

After seeing it, his fingers kept tapping lightly on the paper, as if he was making a beat.

After reading the first time, he went back to see it a second time.

In ten minutes, Li Qian's meal was finished, and he was still watching, his eyes were blazing.

Li Qian didn't see anything outside, got up and opened the drawer to find his tea, boiled water for himself and made a cup of green tea, and then sat on the sand while drinking tea and eating, he looked at him with a smile.

After a while, as if noticing Li Qian's eyes, Cao Zhan finally stopped.

He put down the songbook and looked at Li Qian, "Are you very interested in Buddhist things?"

Li Qian smiled, thinking that he knew that you had to ask this, so he said: "I can't talk about research, I know a little bit, I just think that this way should be more suitable for He Runqing's way, so I tried to write one, you go back and give it to others, if you are not satisfied, then I will write it in another way, and I will definitely help you pay off the romantic debt!"

Cao Zhan picked up the songbook and glanced at it again, and after putting it down, he finally picked up the chopsticks and said, "Not satisfied? If you are not satisfied with a song of this level, let them go to someone else to invite the song!"

After picking up the chopsticks dish, he turned his head to look at the songbook again, chewed it a few times, as if he was reminiscing about something, and then nodded, "Half a pot of yarn, this name is so good!

Li Qian smiled silently, thinking to himself, although this song was not really popular in that time and space, but it was only limited by the shrinking domestic market at that time and the extreme network.

Of course, this time he came, sending this song is only one of them, and more importantly, it is an invitation song.

So, while drinking tea, he smiled and said, "Brother Cao, what we said last time, let you help write a song suitable for young girls to sing, how about it?

Asked so, Li Qian didn't have the luxury of getting the song right away.

Cao Zhan started to do rock and roll, and became famous, but he ended up with a record on the street, and later returned to Jinan to write lyric songs, folk songs and ballads, but he became famous, of course, he is a good hand at both lyrics and songs, but he may not be able to write this kind of song that is suitable for a young girl group like Wuxing Wusu, and even if he can write it, it will definitely not be so fast.

But to Li Qian's surprise, as soon as Li Qian's voice fell, Cao Zhan pointed to his desk and said confidently: "Go get it yourself!"

"There's already one?"

Li Qian was surprised to go over and find the songbook on his desktop.

The song is called "Love Me!"

Reading the songbook from beginning to end, Li Qian looked at Cao Zhan in surprise.

He has heard Cao Zhan's works, and there are a lot of them, from his rock works back then, to the songs he wrote for others in recent years, almost all of them, and now this "Love Me!" is a bit like his style!

Cao Zhan ate slowly, only halfway through eating, feeling Li Qian's gaze, he chewed the contents of his mouth and swallowed it, and then drank the saliva, and then the old god said: "Your suggestion, let me be grounded." I went to kindergarten for a day, then went to my son's junior high school and spent a day on the playground and played a game of football with a bunch of kids. I came back and wrote seven versions, and in the end this one was left! I sang it to a few children, and they all said it was good, so I decided to give it to you!"

Li Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it seems that Cao Zhan has really put a lot of effort into it this time!

Is the song not famous in Liao Liao's album, so subconsciously want to compete with himself again?

Musicians, this is not a bad thing, this kind of spirit, you have to be! Especially his practice of being able to put down the shelf immediately if he wants to do something, which is something that many people who have been famous for a long time can't do at all!

So, Li Qian shook the songbook in his hand and said with a smile: "That's it!"

Then he asked, "How much?"

Cao Zhan glanced at him, chewed for a while, swallowed something, picked up the songbook of "Half a Pot of Yarn" at hand, and asked, "How much?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard this, "Let them look at it!"

Cao Zhan put down the songbook, "Let them look at it!"

Li Qian laughed.
