Chapter 197: I have the bottom of my heart
When he got up early the next morning, Lin Xianjun followed Qin Xulin to Minghu Culture with high morale.
He Wei received them in person, and spent more than forty minutes to conduct a comprehensive test and understanding of her pitch, timbre, vocal range and musicality, etc., and then, Lin Xianjun finished the test, and felt that she was very refreshing, when Qin Xulin asked her how she was, this girl was so confident that she said, "No problem!" paused, and deliberately showed a sentence, "That teacher scared me a lot!"
But in fact, less than ten minutes after the test, a girl named Xu Min came over to call them in the artist department of Minghu Culture, and then, in a large lounge, Xu Min went straight to the point and said the result directly: I can't sign it!
As for why, Xu Min said that I am only in charge of brokerage affairs, and I have no decision on whether to sign a contract or not.
Qin Xulin and Lin Xianjun are both a little blind.
However, the road was not blocked, and a crack was left behind.
If Lin Xianjun agrees, they are willing to give her a chance, that is, Minghu Culture will help her contact the teacher, let her go to the class, carry out higher-level systematic learning, and wait until the study period expires, combined with her teacher's suggestion, and after another interview, and then decide whether she can sign a contract with Minghu Culture.
In short: you're still a little bit old, but you're a good seedling, and we're willing to train you!
But the problem is that in Lin Xianjun's opinion, he is no longer a seedling, he is clearly a phoenix, so he should borrow strength from a branch, and then he will take off and soar for nine days!
So, she felt humiliated.
Although people didn't agree to sign directly, but they were given the opportunity, Qin Xulin still had a little expectation for sending this little girl into Minghu culture, but the result was good, the little girl directly stalked her neck in front of the other party's agent, and said, "You will regret it!" and then slammed the door and left.
When the news came back, He Wei was very helpless.
Rose Power's new album is still practicing songs, He Runqing's concert has completed preparations, and the difference is just to go to different cities to perform every weekend, so at present, it is a window period for him, and he is relatively idle.
After thinking back and forth in his office for a long time, he still got up and walked out of the office, walked around, ran to the door of the new music director's office, and knocked on the door.
When Xie Mingyuan in the house said "come in", he pushed the door in.
Xie Mingyuan has been in office for more than a month, but before that, he was mainly busy going back and forth for the later stage of Liao Liao's new album, so now, he is actually just familiar with the situation here, and during the takeover period, the specific business is still on He Wei.
Of course, they have been partners for many years when they were at Sony Records, and they have a good relationship, cooperation and tacit understanding, and continuing to work together in the new company at this time is naturally of great help to Xie Mingyuan to integrate and take over the music division of Minghu Culture.
Xie Mingyuan is looking at the file, and it is a document on the classification, main direction and internal positioning of its singers within the top level of Minghu Culture, obviously, the main writer of this level of document can only be Li Qian, and those who are qualified to see it must also be above the director level, in terms of the entire Minghu Culture, the music is Li Qian, Qi Jie and Xie Mingyuan, plus an artist director Zou Wenhuai.
Liao Liao, He Runqing, and He Wei are all deputy directors of music, but they are also not qualified.
When he looked up and saw He Wei coming in, Xie Mingyuan waved his hand, "Sit." â
He Wei sat down on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time.
The document in Xie Mingyuan's hand is actually and has been read many times, but the current and future positioning of his singers in this document, as well as Li Qian's possible prediction and direction analysis of the future development of the domestic music market and entertainment market revealed between the lines, make Xie Mingyuan feel that this document is worth reading again.
He used to be the leader of Sony Records, and naturally has his own judgment and insight into the future development of the domestic record market and entertainment industry, but I have to say that his thinking is still a little different from Li Qian's thinking. These differences cannot be verified by who is right and who is wrong, but can only be judged by the development of things themselves over time.
However, since he has taken over the position of music director, on the basis of not contradicting Li Qian's big ideas, he still decided to think about it seriously, find a suitable opportunity, and have a deep talk with Li Qian, at least to explain his different opinions and different views thoroughly, if Li Qian still insists on his judgment, then it must be based on his thinking.
Of course, this kind of thing requires a long time to think about, and it is by no means something that can be figured out by patting the head in a short period of time.
He Wei came in, sat there and didn't speak, so that Xie Mingyuan's thoughts couldn't concentrate for a while, and in the end, he simply put down the documents in his hand, sorted them out, put them away, and then looked at He Wei with a smile on his face and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Wei looked sad and said, "That girl...... I'm done. â
Xie Mingyuan smiled, got up and walked over, sat down, and then asked again: "Look at you like this...... It should be a good talent?"
He Wei nodded, "It's not just good, it's just ......" After thinking about the wording, he said not without exaggeration: "The timbre, vocal range, and musicality are simply outstanding! From the bass, to the alto, and then to the treble, it is really beautiful! Not worse than Liao Liao! Let me say this, as long as she takes the right path and walks steadily under her feet, maybe in a few years, she will be the second Liao Liao!"
When Xie Mingyuan heard this, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
He Wei has always been cautious and down-to-earth in his work and speech, and being able to get him so sparing no effort to recommend and praise him like this, it can be seen that the girl's standard is indeed not low.
So, after a pause, Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "So, I don't understand why I don't want to sign her, right?"
He Wei lowered his head, and after a moment, nodded.
Xie Mingyuan laughed when he saw this, and asked, "You don't understand Li Qian's decision, it's okay, do you want to know how I decided?"
He Wei looked up at him.
Xie Mingyuan put away his smile and said seriously: "I won't sign her either." â
"Why?" asked Ho Wei puzzled.
Xie Mingyuan smiled, remembering a few paragraphs in the document he had just read, and remembering some of his things in Sony Records over the years, and said with emotion: "I still remember when you asked me, Feng Feifei obviously has no appeal, why do I have to press her to that position? I remember that I answered you at that time, it was two words: order!
He Wei nodded.
Xie Mingyuan said again: "Then now, I still have to answer you: order." â
After a pause, he sighed and explained: "Liao Liao and the Four Great Beauty Band are responsible for breaking through in two directions, Liao Liao is responsible for international prestige, international routes, and is responsible for width, and the Four Great Beauty Band is responsible for deep word-of-mouth, which is the top power." He Runqing and Rose Power are responsible for grasping the three generations of the old, middle-aged and young people in China, especially the young people! Then next, it is Zhou Ye, Zhuang Meiyue, Zhao Yuan and Ge Rileng, this is the singer structure of the current company! Next, Zhou Yan will come over and strengthen the strength of the middle level, but the strengthening is still in the direction of women, so what our company lacks now is not a female singer who is arrogant with some talent, but a male singer who can rush to the same level as the power of roses and has both strength and idol qualities! Only then will the company's singer power be the most balanced!"
Speaking of this, he smiled wryly and said: "At present, it is not easy to push Zhao Yuan and Ge Releng to the level of He Runqing and Rose Power, Zhou Ye has some potential, but in fact, what I want to do the most is also the first major thing that I listed as the music director by myself, which is to urge Li Qian to release a solo album." However, as you know, instead of releasing a solo album, he is going to make an album for Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing respectively, and let the two of them try to fly solo on the basis of retaining the combination...... In this way, it will lead to more bloated companies in terms of female singers!"
After a pause, he looked at He Wei helplessly and asked: "Then you say, if you sign that girl, how should you position her next? And how should you push it out? What's more, her temperament, just this one thing can be seen, once the positioning you give does not meet her psychological expectations, what will be the consequences? That's not en, it's hatred!"
He Wei rubbed his head and was speechless for a while.
He can make music, but when it comes to these big structures, overall thinking is not his strong point.
After half a day, he could only say helplessly: "I am ...... I just think it's a pity!"
Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "I think that if you sign her now and make her popular, it will hurt her!"
After a pause, he said: "The talent is too good, but your own wisdom is not enough to control and control this talent, then, it is really not necessarily a good thing to become popular too early! â
Speaking of this, he took a breath, patted He Wei's knee on the side, and said, "Wait two years, let her beat and beat." â
He Wei was speechless, so he had to nod.
But soon, he looked up and asked, "You say...... Do you want Li Qian to make his debut and release an album? Did you tell him? What did he say?"
Xie Mingyuan sighed helplessly when he heard this, "I didn't say it, you look at him now, he doesn't want to come out when he goes to the ninth floor every day, how can I speak?" After a pause, he probed helplessly, "Let's go back, it is said that the TV series is almost finished, and when he finishes it, and the concert between Zhou Yan and He Runqing is almost over, when I have some free time, I will have a good talk with him." â
He Wei nodded when he heard this, and also sighed: "The company is indeed weak in the area of male singers. And ......" After thinking about it, he frowned again and continued: "These two newcomers have been launched in a row, and the market feedback is a little lower than our expectations in advance, and this situation seems to be a bit wrong? Ordinarily...... It shouldn't be!"
When Xie Mingyuan heard this, his face became serious, he nodded slowly, and then said: "We had dinner together a few days ago, and I also mentioned this issue, it was me, Li Qian, President Qi, and Liao Liao at that time. At that time, Li Qian said a word, and I still feel a little unsure of what he meant, until you came in just now, I was still looking back and thinking about that sentence. â
He Wei couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?"
Xie Mingyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some hesitation: "He said, it's time to come up with something new?"
He Wei also frowned when he heard this, "New gadget, what new gadget?"
Xie Mingyuan said: "I didn't understand it at the time, so I asked him, and he said that he could clearly feel the changes in the domestic music market in recent years, and this change and the richness of the market have always been accelerating, so the old-fashioned things, the attractiveness and freshness, are slowly declining...... At the end of the day, I thought he had a point, but when I looked back and thought about it, I suddenly realized that he didn't answer my question at all, so until now, I don't know what the so-called new gadget in his mouth is!"
He Wei shrugged when he heard this, but suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and whispered: "It's been a while since I said this, or this year, just after the New Year, probably in the first month, I don't know if he was tired of doing TV series editing that day, he went to the instrument room, went to play the pipa for a while, and sang a paragraph, I didn't care at first, and when I felt wrong, when I ran over, he had already finished singing, I was curious, let him do it again, he said that he didn't say anything, and I knew it when I went back to make an album." You said...... Could he have actually written the songs for the new album for himself a long time ago?
Xie Mingyuan turned his head to look at him when he heard this, his eyes were a little bright, "Listen to what you say...... I seem to get it a little bit. â
After a pause, he said again: "No wonder when it comes to Wang Jingxue's new album, he is rarely a little hesitant, saying that it is a bit unsafe to let Wang Jingxue eat crabs first......"
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, "Looking at it so comprehensively, it seems that he is going to eat this first crab himself, and he has taken a new path?" Speaking of this, he looked at He Wei with a little excitement, "Do you remember what style he sang that day?"
"Uh......" He Wei hesitated for a moment, frowning and thinking hard, but finally spread his hands, "I really didn't hear it clearly, but when I passed by the door, I heard a few words, which seemed to be a bit of R&B style." â
âR&Bīŧâ
Xie Mingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
After a while, he laughed slowly and said: "When it comes to musical talent, when it comes to the control of various music genres, including the ability to judge the market, his talent is still undoubted, it seems that he should have a bottom in his heart." â
At this point, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "I suddenly can't wait! No...... He's up there right now, I'll go up and find out what he's talking about!"
