Chapter Fifty-Nine: Just Fun?
Chinese songs, audition room.
When the last song ended, Huang Dazhong touched his chin, turned his head to look at Du Xiaoming, and saw that he was still with his eyes closed, looking intoxicated, and his heart couldn't help but feel another block, but he still helplessly reached out to touch him.
Du Xiaoming opened his eyes and looked at him, Huang Dazhong glanced at him, thought about it, simply stood up, faced everyone in the audition room, and said: "After listening, this is the first album of the four major beauty bands that Li Qian personally released, you are all experts, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, what do you think of his album?"
No one spoke.
Not to mention the high-level Chinese opera in this audition room at the moment, even outside, they know the extreme discord between their boss and Li Qian, at this time, let them evaluate Li Qian's things, how to evaluate them?
Of course you can't boast!
Isn't that looking for trouble? Angering the boss for someone else's album is at least making the boss unhappy, so why bother?
But...... If you don't boast, then there is nothing to say!
So, in the face of Huang Dazhong's scrutinizing gaze, everyone either turned their eyes away or lowered their heads.
After a while, Huang Dazhong could only retract his gaze helplessly, looked at Du Xiaoming, and said helplessly: "Old Du, can you talk about it?"
After brushing it, everyone turned their heads to look at Du Xiaoming.
Don't be convinced or not, at least for the moment, everyone has to admit that Du Xiaoming is the company's head knife in music affairs, and he can probably be regarded as the most qualified and competent person to evaluate this album within Hua Opera.
Moreover, everyone knows that Du Xiaoming is an avid rock fan!
As a young man, he even went on his own and spent seven months following in the footsteps of the Flying Band's national tour. Accompanied them all over China!
In the face of Huang Dazhong's gaze, Du Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "I...... There's not much to say!"
Huang Dazhong was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly became a little excited, and asked, "What do you mean that there is nothing to say?" Okay. Still not good? What is your judgment on its market prospects? How can there be nothing to say about it?"
Du Xiaoming nodded when he heard this, and then, unexpectedly, he stood up, and also followed Huang Dazhong's example, looking at the high-level executives of Hua Ge on the seats behind him.
Then, he directly called the name and asked, "Lao Chen, do you think it's good?"
Lao Chen was named. After hesitating for a moment, the expression on his face flashed a little tangled, but in the end, he nodded and said frankly: "To be honest, in my opinion, height, depth, breadth, and popularity, there are all there. Whether from an artistic point of view. Think about it from a technical point of view, or from a business point of view. The album ...... How to say it, anyway, in my opinion, even when the Flying Band was at its peak, it was the time of "Driving the Pig West", so that's it!"
This evaluation is unusually high.
Huang Dazhong heard this. Immediately, his face was pale, but Du Xiaoming was extremely calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.
But then, he looked at the other person and said, "Fourth." Tell me?"
The fourth child who was named also hesitated when he heard this, and then said "Hi", "Yes, let me talk about it." I say...... Hey, what else can I say? Isn't Lao Chen finished? That's what he said!"
After a pause, he said again: "Li Qian, this kid...... As always, I can only say that since he made "Sister and Sister Stand Up" for Wuxing Wusu, he has been like this, all kinds of styles of things are mixed together for you, but people have those things in their heads! You can't play with ordinary people, but he can just come up with all kinds of good things and press them into an album for you! This time, he still plays beautifully!"
After thinking about it, he said, "I am...... How to say it, I've listened to it once, and I'm not familiar with it yet, but in my opinion, this album should probably be divided into three or four paragraphs, in short, these ten songs within an album, the division of labor is very clear!
"In short, it's still the same sentence, what Lao Chen said is reasonable, this album must be deep and deep, high and high, and sales...... If you want to calculate according to the current popularity of the domestic record market, and considering that this kid has always been riddled with gossip and scandals, the attention is not low...... I figure, five million! At least five million, this album will meet the threshold!"
Huang Dazhong's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.
Du Xiaoming didn't name the third person again, but turned to look at Huang Dazhong.
The two looked at each other, he spread his hands, and said: "Although we should be considered hostile to that side now, but, as a musician, I still have to say that I love this album." ”
Huang Dazhong pursed his lips.
However, after a pause, Du Xiaoming continued: "Regardless of foreign countries, the music environment is different, the social background is also different, as far as China is concerned, now, the status of the four beauty bands in my heart is second only to the flying band!"
Speaking of this, he smiled helplessly for the first time, and then said: "As for the others, evaluation, sales, etc., my opinion is similar to that of Lao Chen and Lao Si." It's just that I'm a little more pessimistic about sales than the fourth, I think, about four million copies, this album is almost already counted, and the threshold has been reached. ”
After a pause, he sighed: "Rock music has been in decline for many years, although we all know that the pirated versions of "Nothing" and "No Place for Shame" are selling very well, but I am still not sure what kind of results the current domestic fans will give this album. And as everyone knows, I'm a rock fan, so ...... On the contrary, I am more pessimistic about rock works and albums. ”
Huang Dazhong took a deep breath when he heard this, nodded slowly, and his face was slightly pale.
But...... Four million, especially a rock album, if it can really sell four million, it is scary enough!
Thinking of this, Huang Dazhong couldn't help but sigh again.
Then, he waved his hand. Just wanted to say "let's disperse", but Du Xiaoming suddenly said: "Mr. Huang, even if it is four million, I think it is enough to set off a wave of rock and roll." Shall we ......?"
Huang Dazhong immediately turned his head to look at him, his head shook like a rattle, "Don't even think about it!"
There was a pause. Perhaps because he felt that his attitude was too strong, he quickly explained: "He is Li Qian!"
This sentence is only four words in total, but it makes him speak in a subdued manner, with ups and downs!
However, for the rich layers of meaning contained in these four words, everyone present almost collectively understood it in seconds!
Yes, he's Li Qian!
Just because he can play doesn't mean we can play too!
The same is rock 'n' roll. People can play three or four million, or even four or five million sales, but if we follow the trend, we may be smashed into it!
Therefore, Mr. Huang's meaning is very clear: if you can't take advantage of him, you can't let him take him to the pit!
Du Xiaoming, who also understood in seconds, heard this, although he nodded at Huang Dazhong, he barely showed a smile, and the brilliance in his eyes. But it suddenly dimmed.
"Now Mr. Huang, is he already so fond of avoiding snakes and scorpions?
Thinking about it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and thought helplessly, "Maybe this is another kind of recognition of Li Qian, right? Well, yes, scared, helpless." Acknowledgment, of course!"
…………
Almost at the same time, in the audition room of Sony Records, when the last note of "Good Night, Jinan" fell, Xie Mingyuan raised his hand. Turning off the player and glancing at Kazuichi Watanabe, the two nodded knowingly to each other, then stood up one after another, and turned to look at the Sony Records executives and singers behind them.
But at this time, before the two of them could say anything, they saw that Zhou Yan had already dressed up and stood up, and seeing what it meant, she was leaving.
Xie Mingyuan and Watanabe Kazuchi glanced at each other, and Xie Mingyuan couldn't help but say, "Hello, wait! Before leaving, how about giving a review first?
After brushing it, everyone turned their heads to look at Zhou Yan, who was standing like a chicken.
Even Zou Wenhuai, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but look up at her curiously at this time.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "I haven't heard of it, and it's the first time I've heard it." We say okay, work is work, life is life. If it was his own album, he might have taken it back and let me listen to it first, but this is their band's album, so I certainly can't hear it in advance. ”
After a pause, she shrugged her shoulders and said casually, "As for the evaluation...... Am I going to speak ill of him?"
Everyone laughed.
Yes, do you still expect Zhou Yan to say that Li Qian is not good?
Xie Mingyuan also laughed at that time, but before he could speak, Zhou Yan had already continued: "Of course, what I said is not what you think. I won't speak ill of him because in my heart, his music has always been like this......" As she spoke, she raised her thumbs high and said proudly: "Absolutely the best in the world!"
Quite a few people laughed good-naturedly again.
Of course, no one argues.
In fact, no one is qualified to argue with anything.
Even Xie Mingyuan, when he heard this, just smiled, shrugged helplessly, and then nodded again.
At this time, Zhou Yan had already left her seat, and while walking out as if no one was around, she said, "Then I'm leaving!"
After thinking about it, Xie Mingyuan suddenly stopped her, "Sister-in-law......" Waiting for her to stop, turning around, he asked, "Do you think your own music is not as good as him?"
Zhou Yan frowned when she heard this, and then shrugged her shoulders naturally, "Of course!"
Xie Mingyuan was speechless when he heard this.
Zhou Yan's arrogance is well known in the entire music world. Although Xie Mingyuan had roughly guessed that she would answer like this before asking this question, he never expected that she would answer so simply, so naturally, and so unquestionably.
But after a pause, she thought about it, but suddenly smiled again, and said, "However, besides him, I am the second in the world!"
With that, she smiled again, turned around and pulled the door open and walked out.
The room was full of silence.
You know, others won't talk about it, at least Zhao Xinfu is sitting in this room!
However, Zhou Yan actually said so directly, "Li Qian is the first in the world, and I am the second in the world!"
So after seeing Zhou Yan leave like this. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Zhao Xinfu - Zhao Xinfu smiled slightly embarrassedly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Li Qian...... It's amazing!"
Unlike Zhou Yan's admittedly low EQ and cold and arrogant personality, Zhao Xinfu has always been well-known in the circle no matter how he behaves and does things, and he belongs to the category with particularly high EQ.
Xie Mingyuan smiled when he heard this. Turning his head and looking at Watanabe Kazuchi, he sighed and said, "Okay, I've listened to it, I've heard it or something, I guess everyone knows it, so I won't ask." As for the sales of this album, let's not guess. Let's wait and see the results!"
…………
Having said that, but after returning to his office, Xie Mingyuan still couldn't hold back, picked up the phone, and dialed out.
Li Qian was in the rehearsal room at the time, and the rehearsal and recording of He Runqing's new album was in full swing.
Huang Wenjuan knocked on the door cautiously, and only after getting an answer from inside did she push the door in. Seeing that all three of them looked back at her, she shook her phone in embarrassment. said: "Brother, Sony's Mr. Xie called you and hung up first, he said he would call later, saying that he had something to talk to you about." ”
Now in the situation of Minghu culture, Huang Wenjuan is the little sister who started with Liao Liao. has been greatly reused, and up to now, the entire brokerage department of Minghu Culture, except for Sun Meimei and Liu Mei, has also counted her. Although she is not yet an assistant manager, everyone regards her as the third person in the brokerage department.
There is no other reason, Qi Jie, as the general manager, is too busy, so busy that he gradually can't take care of Li Qian's brokerage affairs, plus considering that Li Qian and Liao Liao wear a pair of pants and don't wear pants, Huang Wenjuan is a lot more convenient than others, so the little girl is now shouldering two ends, and taking care of the brokerage affairs of Li Qian and Liao Liao.
Like the current situation, when Li Qian or Liao Liao are going to enter the rehearsal room and recording studio, they will all hand over their mobile phones to her for safekeeping.
At this time, she pushed the door and walked over, handed the mobile phone to Li Qian, and asked, "Why don't I hold it for you and call you later?"
"Mr. Xie?" Li Qian was thinking about why Xie Mingyuan suddenly called, and when he heard this, he raised his head, shook his head and said, "No need, then let's put it here first, it's not a recording studio anyway." ”
After a pause, he saw that Huang Wenjuan agreed to go out, so he stopped her again and asked, "He didn't say anything?"
Huang Wenjuan shook her head, "I didn't say it." ”
At this time, Liao Liao suddenly interjected and said: "When you call at this time, you still need to say it, it must be related to "Fake Monk"!"
Li Qian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lost his laughter, and patted his head, "I actually forgot! Today is the launch of "Fake Monk", right?" and then nodded himself, "That's right!"
As he spoke, his phone rang suddenly.
Li Qian glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's him!" and then pressed the answer button while getting up and walking out.
"Hey, hello Mr. Xie. ”
On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan's voice was loud and said, "I listened to "Fake Monk", I just finished listening to it, it's great!"
Li Qian laughed, took the door casually, and said with a smile while walking towards his office: "It's over." After a pause, he said, "You called just to praise me?"
Xie Mingyuan laughed twice and said, "I want to follow your wind and make two rock 'n' roll, what do you think?"
Li Qian was surprised when he heard this, and immediately lost his smile, "Hey, my peers are enemies, you ask me this question?"
Xie Mingyuan smiled disappreciatively when he heard this: "You and Hua Ge are peers and enemies, and with Sony, no." The two of us, let alone not. Am I not right?"
Li Qian stopped when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing, "Cheng! Even if you're right, I can't say that we're the two of us, ......right?" It's not that rock 'n' roll can't be done, but I personally think it's better to be a little more cautious. Of course, if you think you can do a good job, then say otherwise. Good things are always good things, don't be afraid that they won't sell!"
Xie Mingyuan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and nodded slowly on the other end of the phone, "What you said makes sense." That's okay, then wait for you to sell and sell first, and then see how the market reacts, and then we'll decide. ”
Li Qian said "um", and then said: "Do it, you can still do it, maybe it's not easy to make a big profit, but this year to do rock and roll, you should make money if you don't lose money, isn't it? The right is to make a contribution to rock and roll! Besides, your Sony family has a big business, even if you lose money, it's not that you can't hold it! Only when everyone is doing it, will there be more good works, and this market, the rock market, will be more popular, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan nodded again when he heard this, "um".
After a moment, he smiled and said, "I understand what you mean." I'll leave this matter aside, I'll go back and convene a meeting to discuss and discuss it first. Are you sure about the future of this album?
Li Qian smiled when he heard this, "Officially debuted? No, it was only the four beauty bands that debuted! You know the reason, didn't I tell you about it last time? I just talked to Brother Cao and them about it, and everyone formed a band to play on a whim." You know, there's even a director in our band!
He said it easily, but he didn't know that Xie Mingyuan on the other end of the phone heard what he said, but he was already cautious.
After a while, he hesitated and asked, "So, next, will you release an album to make your debut?"
Li Qian was surprised when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Yes, why not?"
But after a pause, he said: "Of course, let's take a look, I'm not sure yet, I can only say, maybe one day, I suddenly want to release an album, then send it." ”
On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan nodded with a serious face, and said slowly: "Well, I understand." ”
…………
The phone hung up, and Xie Mingyuan rubbed his brows in distress.
Then, he grabbed a piece of paper, took out a pen, and wrote on the paper: Zhao Xinfu, Zhou Yan, Feng Feifei.
After thinking about it, he added a few more names after Feng Feifei: Zhen Zhen, Hu Yang, and Huang Yuqing. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he added another one to the back: Sima Duoduo. But after thinking about it, I scratched it again.
Then, under the names of Hu Yang and Huang Yuqing, he put a question mark on each of them.
Then, he started another line and wrote down several names correspondingly: Liao Liao, He Runqing, the Four Beauties, and Rose Power. After thinking about it, Li Qian was added.
Of course, under Li Qian's name, there was soon an extra question mark.
Holding the pen, he measured it, and the tip of the pen dangled from one name after another.
As a result, the more he swayed, the tighter his brow wrinkled.
"Just playing?" he shook his head and laughed twice, "It's just playing?"
After a pause, he picked up his pen and drew a circle on Li Qian's name, circled his entire name, and then the tip of the pen paused twice heavily, and couldn't help but sigh.
