Perhaps many years later, when Li Qian's fame is getting bigger and bigger, even if there is no need for deliberate publicity, there are many people who are eager to know who he is and are eager to pay attention to all the information related to him, and gradually people and media will begin to count the glory that Li Qian created at the age of seventeen or eighteen from the beginning, but at least now, even if his nine works are on the top ten of the Voice of China's golden song on-demand list at the same time, it is useless. ⊙

The media will not pay extra attention to and report on him because of this, and fans will not notice that their favorite singer is actually popular because of the work of a person named Li Qian.

Isn't it fair?

It's not fair!

But, that's the rule.

Moreover, this is not just the rules of the pop music world, nor is it just the rules of the entertainment industry, this rule is applicable to the world and everything.

For example, in the time and space where Li Qian once lived, the most talked about by later fans was about the combination of Jay Chou + Fang Wenshan, and the combination of Faye Wong + Lin Xi, and in fact, the latter two are indeed the two most well-known lyricists in the development of the Chinese music scene in the past thirty or forty years.

But they are just one example.

And even the two of them, when they are really known to the public and gradually become well-known, in fact, they have already written a number of works in the past few years, and many works have become popular, and they have gradually come to the public little by little - for example, there are many fans who like Dong Chou's works, and there are many who know Fang Wenshan, but. Know who the lyricists of the two songs, "In the Name of the Father" and "Chapter 7 of the Night", are. How many?

Another example: Lin Junjie's song "Jiangnan" was popular all over the country, and at that time, the influence of his song was no worse than that of Chou Dong's Chinese style, and the media also reported it repeatedly. At that time, there must have been many fans who were amazed by its ancient lyrics after listening to the song "Jiangnan", but they knew that the lyricist of this song was Lin Qiuli. Needless to say, the media will chase Lin Junjie, but at that time, the lyricist who would report this song was called Lin Qiuli, and he would seriously evaluate the popularity of this song is inseparable from Lin Qiuli's ancient lyrics, is there?

No.

For another example, even if it was only around 2000, domestic fans were already very familiar with the names and faces of Ge You, Tony Leung, Jiang Wen, Gong Li, etc., and even a group of big directors such as Zhang Yimou , Chen Kaige , Feng Xiaogang , Ang Lee , etc. Do you know who wrote the movie "Heroes"? What about the writers of "Farewell My Concubine"? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

Obviously, no one is going to pay attention to this.

The media must be hunching around those big directors and famous actors all day long, and they would rather report on the gossip of the stars than pay attention to who the screenwriter of a famous movie is.

And the general audience ...... Please, when watching a movie, when the feature film is finished, I will carefully read the cast and crew list on the subtitles at the back, how many are there?

It's like a concert, and the spotlight only chases that person.

As for the rest of the staff, whether you are directing, accompaniment, or dancing, I'm sorry, you're just green leaves, just to set off the big red flower in the center of the stage more perfectly. I took the money, did the job well, and left! Want to be the protagonist of the concert? No way!

The simplest principle is that very few concerts are held during the day, because only at night, when it is pitch black everywhere, when all the lights are concentrated on a person, will he really shine.

So, we say that celebrities live in the spotlight.

It's brutal, but, that's the reality.

But fortunately, it doesn't matter if ordinary fans don't know who Lin Qiuli is, but almost all practitioners in the pop music industry know that the song "Jiangnan" is Lin Qiuli's big work.

is like Li Qian now, even if all the fans who like Liao Liao, plus all the fans who like the Five Elements Wusu Combination, plus all the fans who like the song "Half Pot Yarn", no one knows who Li Qian is, and it doesn't matter at all. Because the bosses, general managers, music directors of major record companies, as well as many singers and producers, they will never ignore the shock of Li Qian's nine songs on the list at the same time, and they will never ignore the immeasurable musical energy that this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has!

Has the time of female singers arrived?

Stop it!

Do you think that if you change a male singer to sing "Persistence", you won't be popular?

Do you think that with Liu Mingming's singing skills, if the song "Farewell" falls into his hands, he will sing worse than the girls in the Five Elements Wusu group?

As for "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow"...... Come on, that style is Zhao Xinfu's favorite!

The so-called "the era of female singers has come" is the statement that the media analyzes the head of the way, and the fans see the clouds and mountains and fog, and they are not aware of it in a trance, but in the eyes of real celebrities in the circle, this statement is just a smile-

This is just the most normal work to make a singer!

Therefore, if Li Qian chooses to debut at this time, he has really paved all the roads for himself, whether it is as a producer, as a producer, or even as a singer, as long as he is willing, almost all the record companies in China, even the three giants of Sony, Huage and Cinda, will not hesitate to welcome him with open arms!

There is no need to say it in a low-key way, as long as he is willing, if he is behind the scenes, even if it is the Big Three, he will at least be an associate music director level, and if it is another company, he may even directly parachute in as a music director, and even if he chooses to be a singer, he can definitely get the most generous artist contract that each company can come up with.

Any industry is full of the fiercest competition for resources, and for now, Li Qian has become the most precious and sought-after resource in the domestic music scene.

But......

Apparently. Until now. Through the temptation of each company again and again. He never had the slightest intention of making his debut.

Although after Liao Liao became popular, Changsheng Records had been repeatedly invited by Liao Liao, but he didn't even go to Liao Liao's million-sales celebration party, although after the new album of Wuxing Wusu was a big hit, Li Jinlong on the side of Hua Song also called on behalf of the company for the first time, and strongly invited him to come to Shuntian Mansion...... Li Qian still didn't care about it and declined.

"I still have to go to school. The final exams are coming soon, so don't dare to delay the class!"

He said.

The rumors came out, and everyone knew that this guy seemed to be indeed preparing to go to school honestly, at least in the last six months, don't expect him to really come to Shuntianfu and join the real operation of the pop music scene.

Some people are disappointed, some people are dissatisfied, and some people even have opinions about Li Qian because of this, some people ridicule it, and some people despise it. But there are also people who secretly breathe a sigh of relief......

Of course, major record companies are extremely eager for talents like Li Qian, after all, he has shot three times. Every time he is amazing, amazing, amazing! His achievements are there, and he is so powerful that even the most conceited musicians have to face it, but he is unwilling to debut, or even if he is willing to debut, it must only be one company that can grab him, so will other record companies watch it?

Apparently not.

Again, at any time, in any time and space, anywhere, there has never been a person who can't play this sentence at all!

After 20 years of great development in the domestic music scene, whether it is because of love for music or because of fame and fortune, there are countless musicians who have been among them, and it will definitely not affect anything because of the lack of Li Qian.

With the success of Li's Chinese style such as "Unfinished Love", "Half a Pot of Yarn" and "Rock Sugar Gourd", all major record companies know that this way is good, so if Li Qian doesn't make a move, other musicians won't be able to play Chinese style?

With the popularity of "Persistence", "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers, Friend", some people may shout what kind of rock spring is coming, and of course there will be people who disdain to think that this so-called light rock is not worthy of what rock 'n' roll is at all, but the real masters in the industry can quickly judge that is really the spring of rock 'n' roll?

Wrong!

It's the spring of urban love songs!

The so-called rock and roll, the so-called light rock, is actually just the external manifestation of those songs, their real core, what really touches people, is actually singing the current urban men's and women's outlook on love and life.

So, is it okay to rock softly? Can it be other styles?

Maybe big-name singers want to test the waters, and they will be as cautious as He Runqing trying Chinese style, but among the newcomers, as well as those second- and third-tier singers who are anxiously trying to get ahead, there are people who have no worries at all, as long as the record company dares to produce it, they can immediately charge in front, hoping to take advantage of this wind to become popular overnight!

Also, even if many people don't believe it in advance, but with the popularity of the songs "Happy Baby", "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Lovelorn Front Alliance", and the same as the judgment of urban love songs, how can the big names in the industry not see the arrival of the era of fast songs?

A lot of times, that's the way it is!

A circle, a country, a nation, in the absence of external stimuli, will always move forward slowly according to its own set steps, and even when it has clearly found a new direction, it will try to probe and hesitate, but once you hurt it, when the stimulus is so strong that it is completely unacceptable, then, the outbreak begins.

And now, obviously, Li Qian's nine songs are on the list at the same time, which plays such a role.

A seventeen-year-old young man, in just half a year, has successively become popular with the previously unknown Liao Liao and Wuxing Wusu combination, and to a large extent saved He Runqing's downward trend, although this is remarkable, but it is nothing.

However, at the same time, nine songs are on the list!

Could it be that the other lyricists, composers, producers, and big-name singers who have dominated the music scene over the past few years together only deserve one of the top 10 spots on the golden song on-demand chart?

How embarrassing is this?

So, there is no need for anyone to do any mobilization. And in fact. There will be no fool who stands up and shouts such foolish slogans as "Down with Li Qian" and "Refuse Li Qian to enter the music world". For Li Qian, a little genius who suddenly came out in the second half of 95, the entire pop music scene is generally surprised with a certain feeling of unconvincing, but for Li Qian, everyone is not rejected, but he is not convinced that he has stolen the limelight and the market!

So, at the beginning of 1996 in the Western calendar, during the period before the Lunar New Year, with the continued hot and big sales of the second album of Wuxing Wusu. Under the background of seemingly great prosperity, the entire domestic music scene suddenly fell into a very quiet, quiet to the point of faintly uneasy, but vaguely expectant.

Compared with the past, only some people studied Li Qian's soft rock and Chinese style, and now, almost the entire domestic music scene is working hard to study the 14 songs he has released before.

Putting aside the two works of "Farewell" and "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow", which are either natural or exotic, it is easy for everyone to analyze and understand that Li Qian's current works on the market can be roughly divided into four categories.

One is urban love songs, including three by Liao Liao, and the song "Love Birds" by Wuxing Wusu.

One is the fast song of youth, mainly the three works of the five elements.

One is Chinese style. This Liao Liao has a song, and He Runqing has a song. There is also a song on the Five Elements.

And the last type is folk songs, which include the folk songs represented by "My Beloved Hometown" and the nursery rhymes of "Let's Swing the Sculls" - in the final analysis, they are all big categories of folk songs.

So, you see, isn't the result coming out?

Folk songs are needless to say, there are too many masters in the domestic music scene who are good at this, and in fact, Li Qian's two folk songs, whether they are the folk songs of "My Hometown of Love" or the nursery rhymes of "Let's Swing the Sculls", are of course quite excellent works, but they are not original.

Although it doesn't mean that anyone can write works of that level, judging from past works, the entire music world is pulling and pulling, and those who are qualified to break their wrists with him in folk songs can make up a double digit at least.

Then, Chinese style, to put it bluntly, is not uncommon, or that truth, dare to say that it can be written well, but as long as you study hard and try more...... You know, this is China!

Also, urban love songs, not to mention this, you know, at least in the past ten years, the producers and singers who have tried to take this path are no longer one or two, although they have not been able to occupy the mainstream of the music world, but in fact, the tributaries are also streams, and there have been successful female singers of Zhou Yan's level!

In a word, the domestic music scene is at the top of this category, and it is not without talent!

And finally, well, the fast song of youth.

Well, I have to admit it, although it has been 20 years since the start of the domestic music scene, there is really no precedent for fast songs to really succeed, before the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" became popular, there were even many people who looked down on this kind of fast-paced work. The traditional concept is that it is still the classical composition method that has more meaning and charm...... Because at that time, the mainstream of this market was folk songs and folk songs!

However, it's not impossible!

If you don't have it at home, can you still have it abroad?

The domestic pop music scene started late, but the pop music in Europe and the United States has been developing for decades, especially like the United States, which is simply a paradise for fast songs - we can't quite master the tricks of fast songs at the moment, but with so many talents and so many popular fast songs in the United States, can't we learn it?

It's really not good, can we buy other people's arrangements and fill in the Chinese lyrics?

…………

At this time in mid-January of '96, what I saw in the eyes of ordinary people was the big sale of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up", but in the eyes of people in the industry, what I saw was that there was an undercurrent surging in the entire Shuntianfu and even the entire Chinese music circle, and various large and small record companies were very consistent in their big and small actions.

Meetings, all sorts of meetings of various record companies, big and small, seemed to suddenly increase overnight.

Discussions, the time before the Spring Festival for various record companies. He began to frequently gather musicians who usually maintained a relatively close relationship. Everyone sits together. Although it is impossible to talk freely, the top musicians and the top managers in this circle sit together, and the best music and the best brain touch, basically dismantling Li Qian's works to the core!

And then...... Visit!

Before the Spring Festival, it was a time for the industry to move around with each other, but this year, the actions of various companies have invariably become much bigger, according to the gossip circulating in the circle. Some of the more big-name musicians have received a lot of invitations to sing at a high price - the only difference from the past is that many musicians who are not too important, but are better at writing ancient lyrics, or writing urban love songs, have received more attention and have also received higher invitation prices!

Before the outside world knew it, the wind direction was slowly changing.

The entire Chinese music scene can be called a sharpening knife!

Of course, no one will think that this is aimed at Li Qian or anything. That's really too much to elevate Li Qian, no matter how powerful he is. It's just a big boy who has only appeared for half a year and has only done a dozen songs! It's just that with the big sales of Wuxingwusu's new album, one thing everyone understands in their hearts is that this market seems to be starting to heat up!

Everyone sharpened their knives one after another, with only one purpose, that is, to follow the passages that Li Qian had opened up, and hurry in to catch a big catch!

And in this case-

In the director's office of Sony (China) Record Company Headquarters, Xie Mingyuan nodded slowly.

"Are you sure the next album of the Five Elements has already begun?" he asked, holding the phone.

On the phone, a voice said: "Sure! Absolutely sure! Mr. Xie, this is the news that I have spent a lot of effort to get from an old friend, and it is absolutely reliable! And according to my friend, even in the Chinese record album, there are definitely no more than five people who know this news!" They shouldn't want the girls of Wuxing Wusu to have a conflict with the company, after all, they are now the cash cow of Huage, it is said that the price of commercial performances has been opened to 300,000 performances, and it is said that during the period when they were making albums in Jinan Mansion, the relationship with that Li Qian was quite good! ”

Xie Mingyuan nodded, "Judging from the current posture, their album has sold five million copies, so it shouldn't be a big problem...... It is estimated that Lao Huang and they also feel that since the road has come out, even if they leave Li Qian, the quality of their next album is not as good as this one, but as long as they follow this road, the level is not too far behind, with their current momentum, they can sell millions of copies, and there is no need to continue to give Li Qian so many points!"

On the other end of the phone, the man smiled and said, "He Runqing took a song "Half a Pot of Yarn" from there, and it was successful, hasn't he been collecting Chinese style in the circle recently? To put it bluntly, as long as there are substitutes, no one will be so stupid as to send it to the door to admit it!"

Xie Mingyuan smiled when he heard this, nodded, and said, "That's it, that's it, I know, thank you!"

After a few more polite words, he hung up the phone, but immediately frowned and thought about it.

A few minutes later, he got up and paced slowly around his office, looking preoccupied and undecided. During this period, an assistant came in to ask him to sign documents, and he signed his name in his hand, but he still looked absent-minded.

It wasn't until dozens of minutes later that he finally sighed in despair.

Fingers tapped lightly on the piece of paper on the desk with his name, address, and phone number, and he said to himself, "Forget it, let's bear with it a little longer!

After a pause, he raised his hand and stroked his hair, suddenly laughed, and continued to say to himself: "Young man, although I am very anxious in my heart, I can't wait to pull you over now, but your character ...... I'll have to wait until you understand that you're not so indispensable and irreplaceable before I can talk to you!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the information on the card again, and said with a smile: "However, I believe it will not be long before it is half a year?"

Smiling, he stood up, and in an instant he returned to his usual majestic appearance.

Pressing the call button to the outside world, he slowly said to the external assistant: "Take a breath with Zou Wenhuai, and say that if it is convenient, I want to meet Zhou Yan this afternoon." Also, don't forget to say this to him, just say it to me - the domestic music scene is so chaotic now, the two of them are hardcore partners, they can't be so idle anymore!" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)

ps: Well, you read that right, this is a big chapter of 6,000 words!

Oh, by the way, I didn't say that I used this more top two more, although the number of words is enough for two chapters, but, today's three more, this is only the first one!

Is it sincere enough? Can you vote?
