Chapter Seventy-One: Half a Bosom Friend

Before New Year's Day, Li Qian's studio suddenly had its first guest in the real sense.

And it's a customer, and it's here to deliver business.

The other party is a film and television production company, and there is a TV series in his hand that is about to end filming, urban emotion, it is said that the producer of this TV series asked the company's senior management by name, hoping to let Liao Liao sing the theme song. So, the staff on the other side took the initiative to contact Changsheng Records, and although Liao Liao's contract has ended, the relationship between Changsheng Records and Liao Liao is still very harmonious, so they took the initiative to help and reported the news to Li Qian's studio, and then, the two sides got in touch, and the other party soon took the initiative to come to the door with the plot outline.

In Li Qian, Liao Liao and Qi Jie's original idea, the studio wants to open up the market for film and television soundtracks, and the fame of Liao Liao or He Runqing is the most important and most likely way to achieve it.

And now, a few months after the studio opened, the first business has finally come to the door.

Qi Jie was very happy.

She not only personally received the other party's visit, but also had a very correct attitude - as the general manager of the studio, she was really eager to take some business orders for the company, and naturally refused to let go of this kind of business sent to the door.

In this way, Liao Liao's singing is the other party's just needs, and the other party's orders are also Qi Jie's just needs, so the two sides quickly hit it off, Qi Jie accepted the plot outline, and initially expressed his willingness to accept it, but the specific situation, including whether it will be finally accepted, including the theme song, ending song and interlude of the next entire TV series, and soundtrack. How much does it cost. It depends on the final decision on the studio's side.

Thereupon. After just half an hour, the two sides agreed to talk about the next step in a few days, and the other party took his leave. Qi Jie, on the other hand, excitedly hurriedly took the plot outline to find Liao Liao, who was practicing songs.

Liao Liao's new album, Li Qian has already given three works, Liao Liao is practicing, and naturally no one will dare to disturb her, but of course Qi Jie doesn't care about this. Just push the door and enter.

I heard that the studio received the first order of business because of herself, Liao Liao was also very excited, but to tell the truth, singing, she is an expert, TV series and movies or something, she is still a layman after all, and everyone must have a preliminary judgment, but to judge whether the plot outline of a TV series is good or not with Liao Liao's level, she still feels that she does not have that vision. After a cursory look, I still contacted Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei. But after both of them watched it, they had different opinions.

Li Jinlong thinks that this TV series should be okay, and at present, for the studio, the key is to take the first step first, so as long as the other party's price has a certain sincerity, then it should be next, but Sun Meimei feels that the various clues of this TV series are a mess, even if it is broadcast in the future, there will definitely be no ratings, and once it is agreed, this will be Liao Liao's first singing on the TV screen, we can't smash Liao Liao's golden sign in order to rush to do business.

So, in the end, I could only wait for Li Qian to come up with an idea.

However, when Li Qian read the plot outline, he was quite unoptimistic about the plot of this TV series.

Urban emotional dramas, the plot is not afraid of clichés, and even the more clichés they are, the more people watch them, as long as the details are grasped and the actors are selected, the clichéd stories can also become popular, but this TV series is obviously not applicable to this rule, it is not only the plot is extremely clichéd, the key is that the logic in many places is not self-consistent at all, and the character changes are also extremely abrupt- To tell the truth, judging from Li Qian's experience, even if this drama is filmed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get on a TV station at the level of satellite TV, at best, it can be broadcast on a municipal TV station, and even a municipal TV station may not be on it.

It's not good, this is a drama that is pulled down after filming and can only be thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes.

But thinking about it carefully, Li Qian felt that what Li Jinlong said was also right, to conduct business, there must always be a first step, not afraid of failure, not afraid of losing money, the key is to take this step, so in the end, he still agreed, let Qi Jie negotiate the price with the other party.

The other party's offer is basically reasonable, not too high, but 30 episodes of TV series soundtrack plus two songs, giving 300,000, for Li Qian's studio, it is completely acceptable, because the other party promised that these two songs, as long as they have the right to use the soundtrack of the TV series, that is, all other permissions, including the right to distribute records, are still in the hands of Li Qian's studio, even if the TV series is used, Liao Liao can still include it in the record.

As a result, the negotiations between the two sides were very pleasant at first, but when it came to payment, the negotiations between the two sides immediately reached an impasse - the other party only agreed to pay 20% in advance, and the rest of the money would be paid after the TV series aired.

Qi Jie may not understand, but Li Qian understands in seconds.

If the other party's TV series can't be sold, it means that the remaining 80% will never have to be paid - this kind of example, Li Qian has been in the music industry and film and television industry for so many years in his previous life, and his ears are calloused just by listening.

Twenty percent of 300,000 yuan, that is, 60,000 yuan, wants 30 episodes of soundtrack plus two songs of Liao Liao - even if Liao Liao's two songs are given away for nothing, these 60,000 yuan is not enough for labor costs!

So, the two sides broke up.

The first business of Li Qian's studio still seems to be far away.

…………

Approaching New Year's Day, Li Qian's studio currently has two main businesses.

First, on Saturdays and weekends, a luxurious executive production team composed of Li Qian, Liao Liao and He Yunqing was busy recording the new album of Wu Xingwusu;

Second, from Monday to Friday, all the staff in the studio's production department, including Liao Liao, were busy with Liao Liao's new album - practicing songs, arranging, recording samples, recording accompaniments, repeatedly scrutinizing, and revising.

Regarding Liao Liao's song practice, Li Qian barely interfered from beginning to end.

The first three songs he released for Liao Liao's new album were "Olive Tree" in the folk category, "Xintianyou", one of the few remaining masterpieces in his hand in the folk song category, and a rock classic, "Wolf".

As soon as these three songs are taken out. No doubt. Liao Liao liked it very much. And the top and bottom of the studio's production department, from Li Jinlong to Sun Meimei, to several musicians, are all extremely admired.

Sun Meimei relied on her advantage as a woman, and took the initiative to make a joke about the boss, "Otherwise, this album is still the boss, you can do it, why do we bother to invite songs from outside!"

The musicians in the company almost without exception agreed.

Liao Liao's character. Of course, it was to take advantage of the situation, of course, she wanted Li Qian to continue to arrange a new album for herself more than anyone else, but Li Qian shook his head without hesitation and refused, doing it herself, but there was no way. In his opinion, if Li Qian's studio wants to really develop, it obviously can't completely rely on itself or someone else. It's only when the studio leaves and anyone can run smoothly that it's really on its footing.

Therefore, even if this time to the end, Liao Liao's new album is still done by himself. But if you should invite songs, you still have to invite songs. in this world. It's never been in vain. The process of inviting songs, for the studio, is also a process of accumulating contacts and straightening out interpersonal relationships in the circle, which must not be saved.

Of course, having said that, but in fact, Li Qian had already prepared for Liao Liao to arrange ten songs on this album - he was even completely ready to choose which of these ten songs.

Wuxing Wusu came to record on Saturday and weekend, and stayed at Huaqu from Monday to Friday to practice dance and training, and he would not come, so in these five days, the only major event in the company was naturally Liao Liao's singing.

But a person, no matter how powerful he is, his vision is limited after all, so Liao Liao practiced and felt that something was wrong, so look for Li Qian, Li Qian was busy with classes from Monday to Friday, and he was busy supervising the production of Wuxing Wusu on Saturdays and weekends, as for Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei, to be honest, Liao Liao came to them a few times to listen, and later found that their views were often to the point, at least they couldn't say what they thought was awkward, so after thinking about it, she took the initiative to knock on He Runqing's lounge a few steps away.

Well, He Runqing's lounge, the sign hanging at the door is called "He Runqing Lounge".

In Liao Liao's lounge, the sign hanging at the door is called "Deputy Director of Music".

Every time he stood in the corridor and saw these two signs, Liao Liao was secretly refreshed, and he was extremely proud of his original masterpiece.

But now, in addition to Li Qian, the highest level in the studio is probably He Runqing, so although she was not very happy in her heart, Liao Liao still knocked on her lounge.

Since returning from a vacation outside, He Runqing has begun to come to the studio every day to come to work. Li Qian needs her help with something, no matter whether she is helping Wuxing Wusu to supervise the production, or helping a few people in the production department of the studio to arrange, accompani, and record samples for Liao Liao's new song, she has no shelf, she is on call, and she doesn't look like a singer at all.

And if Li Qian is okay to look for her, she is also punctual 9 to 5, never late, never leave early, after coming, she either stays in the lounge and practice room to find a feeling, or opens the audio-visual room and hides in to listen to the songs.

In short, in just a week or two, everyone in the studio has recognized He Runqing's diligence.

After Liao Liao knocked on the door and entered, in He Runqing's lounge, I only saw her agent Liu Mei - I don't know if it was the new owner's new performance, the recent Liu Mei, who performed very well, always accompanied He Runqing to the studio on time, and accompanied her to leave on time, the two of them went hand in hand, the same diligence, the same low-key.

Even, whenever there is something in the studio, she will always contribute some of the experience and contacts she has accumulated over the years in the music industry in a timely manner, so that the impression of her and He Runqing, the partner, is even much better than that of Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan. Sun Meimei has even deliberately found Li Qian and asked if she could let Liu Mei go to the artist department of the studio to take a part-time job.

Seeing Liao Liao coming in, Liu Mei immediately stood up and asked what she meant, and immediately took Liao Liao to the audio-visual room to find He Runqing - He Runqing was indeed in the audio-visual room, listening to a jazz-style CD she brought back from abroad.

Seeing Liao Liao coming, she was a little surprised, but she stood up happily, and first invited Liao Liao to sit down and listen to it, and said with a smile: "I bought it in a small town called Dennis in California, when I heard a jazz band performing in a bar, it felt great, and then I paid for the records they made and sold themselves." You come and hear it. I think it's pretty good. Tasted!"

So, Liao Liao really sat down and listened with her.

Not to mention, the band that will go to the bar in the small town to perform is obviously not a famous band, but Liao Liao also felt that this jazz band was indeed very stylish and stylish.

After listening to a record, both of them shook their heads in admiration. Aftertaste.

Then, with this record, the two quickly chatted, from American jazz, to street and bar rock, to British classical rock, and then, almost every style, both of them expressed their own opinions, and there were places that made people feel like friends. There are also some places where opinions are completely different, and partial. Both of them belong to the kind of people who have a wide range of knowledge, have a certain interest in music from all over the world, have a certain understanding of the world pop music scene, and even Latin dance music, which is rarely paid attention to in China, both of them have a little bit of research, so after chatting about it, they unconsciously forgot the time.

It wasn't until Liu Mei came over that the two found out that it was already half past twelve.

So, the two of them called Liu Mei and Huang Wenjuan together, went out to find a Western restaurant together, had dinner, continued to chat, returned to the company, and continued to chat - anyway, the studio's discipline for singers is extremely loose, and the two don't have to worry about time and work at all, and the chat is naturally very pleasant.

So, almost the whole day, I was talked to by two people like this.

I have to say that it is really not for nothing that the word "bosom friend" will appear in the world, or in Chinese culture, so every person in the world who has the same heart and the same opinion will always use the word "bosom friend" instead of "zhishu", "zhiqin" and so on, because the word bosom friend is really the most appropriate.

Music is the first bridge between the human spiritual world.

There are emotions in music, worldview in music, love in music, pursuit in music, and everything that is common to all human beings.

Therefore, it is just a day's time, if Liao Liao and He Runqing before basically belong to each other, they will nod and smile at each other, and maybe they will laugh and talk a few words, but if they don't meet, they will not have any connection, basically if they don't see the king, then now, even if the two are not sisters or other close relationships, at least, they are already good friends. Even to some extent, they can be regarded as half bosom friends of each other.

At this time, Liao Liao asked He Runqing to help him listen to it, he was considered a half-producer, although He Runqing was a little surprised, but he agreed without hesitation.

Previously, Li Qian pulled himself and Liao Liao to help Wuxing Wusu supervise the new album, which once made He Runqing very surprised in her heart, especially in the process of supervision, Li Qian always ignored Liao Liao, and just asked her what she thought, which surprised her even more - almost no one in the music circle does not know that between Li Qian and Liao Liao, it is a hardcore partner!

Moreover, even if it is just about today's popularity, singing skills, or understanding and grasp of music, He Runqing also feels that Liao Liao will definitely not be under him. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Li Qian should pay more attention to Liao Liao's opinion. At the very least, it should be two people asking together, and two people paying equal attention.

But Li Qian didn't.

But later, He Runqing slowly smacked the taste.

In fact, helping others to produce albums is actually not learning from others? In fact, isn't it expanding one's own horizons and broadening one's thinking?

What's more, after Li Qian asks his own opinions and opinions, he often does not shy away from anyone, and says his opinions and opinions on the spot, so many times, he even gives He Runqing a feeling that Li Qian is teaching himself and Liao Liao - the teacher asks questions, puts out examples, and asks you to analyze, and when you finish analyzing, he will tell you his views, and then, that is your own kung fu, how many things you can analyze and smack from the two opinions, depending on your own level!

As for Li Qian only asking himself and not asking Liao Liao, the reason is simpler, because Liao Liao is popular, she doesn't need to change, and she urgently needs to change and transform!

Therefore, He Runqing slowly understood Li Qian's intention of letting him participate in the production process - he actually wanted to let himself look at singing from a different angle.

And obviously, whether it is singing skills or voice, Wuxing Wusu must be more than a step worse in front of Liao Liao, as the producer of Wuxing Wusu, although he can learn and harvest a lot of things, and see many details that he has not paid attention to when he was a singer before, so now, for Liao Liao's producer, can the harvest be less?

Besides, the relationship between Liao Liao and Li Qian is definitely much better than the relationship between himself and Li Qian, and if you have a good relationship with her, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless for your next survival in the studio!

is different from the little girls of Wuxing Wusu, and Liao Liao's natural atmosphere, which is smooth sailing and popular, He Runqing can have today, can go to three companies, and has been popular for ten years, although there have been many mistakes and deficiencies in interpersonal relationship handling, but she is still quite good at understanding and grasping the most basic things in the philosophy of survival, so it is impossible for her to miss such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

So, starting from the next day, in Liao Liao's practice room, there were suddenly more discussions between two people. (To be continued......)
