Chapter Forty-Nine: The Breeze Blows on the Hills
Huang Dazhong and Sun Xueming were speechless when they heard this.
Of course, they understood what Du Xiaoming was feeling.
Yes, a teenager, a normal person, this age is exactly one who is hormonal explodes, thinking about bubbles every day, and at the same time ignorant of the outside world, both rebellious and stupid, even if he is talented, he can only say that he is just showing his debut, and his works are often a little naΓ―ve.
However, it seems that none of these things happened to Li Qian.
He is mature, steady, methodical, and talented.
It's really talented.
This word is used to others, more or less, with a hint of praise. But when it is used on Li Qian, it is real and not exaggerated at all.
Before he came out, can you imagine an eighteen-year-old boy who could write songs on the level of "Farewell" and "The Best Future"?
Before he made a move, can you imagine that one day there will be such a person, who can already cross multiple musical styles at a young age, and have come up with extremely mature works in many aspects such as folk, folk songs, nursery rhymes, rock, love songs, etc.?
And, that's not even the scariest of all.
The most frightening thing is that his works not only span multiple music genres, are of extremely high quality, but always accurately grasp the aesthetic tastes of the market and fans, and the lyrics and composition are of a very high standard, and he is also ...... The yield is extremely high!
Normally, today's group of musicians in China even includes many musicians in Europe and the United States, whether you are a lyricist or a composer. Even at the peak of the creative period. That is, in the years when the talent was blowing out. There is also a limit to the quality songs he can compose.
It's not easy for others to say, just say that Xie Jinshun is an old man.
He is an absolute champion in the domestic music scene, the first person, and he is also talented, and he is also known for the quality and quantity of his works, but even when he was at the peak of his creation in his thirties, he really got a high-level work a year, that is, about ten songs!
As for the other works. In his year, of course, there are many, not only him, but also those lyricists and composers in the industry, who write one or two hundred songs a year, are not a few. However, the so-called high production often means that the good and the bad are uneven, and the mud and sand are all down! Those who can write more than five high-quality works a year are absolute top musicians!
Even, there are many musicians in this circle. Often, there are only one or two songs a year that can be called high-quality things, and that's it. It was enough for them to eat and drink.
But what about Li Qian?
Starting from Liao Liao's first album "Liao Liao" last summer, adding it up before and after, that is, a little more than a year and a dozen months, he has already had 24 songs officially on the market, plus the six songs that are now taken out for the new album of Wuxing Wusu, together, at least as far as they know and have seen, even if there are 30 songs.
Purely in terms of quantity, this amount is not too high, it can only be regarded as medium.
But you must know that the thirty works he took out are all excellent without exception!
Twenty or thirty songs a year at the level of fine songs, what is this concept!
Moreover, it seems that he is singing at such a speed, and he is still not hollowed out!
It is said that not long ago, he has been running to Changsheng Records, and it seems that he has made a few songs for several male singers of Changsheng Records, of course, they are all his lyrics and composers, which is of course the level of the title song!
And then, he also prepared four other songs for the new album of Wu Xingwu, there is no doubt that this will be another album that has been completely arranged by himself!
Moreover, the level of ten title songs!
Then, and then, obviously, the industry has already expected that as soon as Liao Liao's contract expires, he will inevitably sign to Li Qian's studio, and they are golden partners! Li Qian made a song for Changsheng Records, probably just to repay the favor for this matter?
Then treat Liao Liao, it is even more impossible for him to be fooled, to put it bluntly, if he makes an album for Wuxing Wusu, even if he earns 16%, it is just a job outside, no matter how popular he is, he is also a singer of other people, and he can only earn a share of album sales. And when Liao Liao signs it, that is the real singer of herself, of course, she has to make more efforts to make an album for her!
Therefore, it can be expected that Liao Liao's third album next summer will definitely be in charge of it again!
You don't need to use any dark thoughts to figure it out, if you have good things and good works in your hands, he will definitely give priority to Liao Liao, and give the five elements to me, but he doesn't think it is suitable for Liao Liao!
In short, that's what Liao Liao used to spare!
But even so, his works are still so powerful and shocking!
So it can be predicted that the album he will help Liao Liao make next year will definitely be even more dazzling!
How many works are there?
That's nearly fifty songs!
And all of them are of absolute high quality, more than half of them have reached the level of the title song, and they can skyrocket with an entire album!
If that's all there is, that's fine, but at the same time, don't forget that while creating these works, he's still in school, he's still learning his so-called photography!
It seems that writing songs, making albums or something, for him, is just a little hobby!
This is so hard to help but scold my mother!
Especially, it was just after watching a few of Li Qian's new songs, at this time, whether it was Du Xiaoming or Sun Xueming, the feeling was very deep, Du Xiaoming sighed so much, and suddenly even with Sun Xueming, he was speechless and melancholy.
People are so diao, what should I compare?
But at this time, the two professional musicians had melancholy expressions, and Huang Dazhong, who was sitting on the side, looked disdainful with a smile on his face.
Soon, the two musicians noticed his strangeness.
The two were the same, and Du Xiaoming couldn't help but ask: "What, Mr. Huang has come up with any good ideas?
"Dig it up?" Huang Dazhong smiled when he heard this. Shook his head. "I want to dig him up." Sonny wants to, and Cinda wants to, but do you think it's possible? He's a big ambition!"
What does this mean...... Originally, there was no problem, but when he said this, Huang Dazhong was inexplicably sarcastic and disdainful. This made Du Xiaoming and Sun Xueming immediately know that Huang Dazhong's words were not just words.
Really. After a while, seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Huang Dazhong smiled, his face was unfathomable, and said: "If you want to simply make music, he Li Qian is a god now! Whether it's me or Sony's Lao Xie, all of us have to hold him, let alone 16 percent." As long as he can prove that he can continue to be successful, as long as he is worth the money. Whether it's me or Lao Xie, I have to beg him to make an album for me......! His heart is too big, and he actually goes into business if he doesn't do it with such a promising musician and producer!"
"Haha!" Speaking of this, Huang Dazhong laughed twice, quite a little smug and proud, and said: "I am not as good as him in writing and making songs! I am not as good as one of ten! But when it comes to doing business...... Haha!"
Needless to say, smart people at the level of Du Xiaoming and Sun Xueming are already thorough.
Du Xiaoming touched his chin and didn't speak, Sun Xueming thought about it, but said: "It seems that Mr. Huang has already figured out a way to deal with Li Qian's studio?
Huang Dazhong smiled when he heard this, and he didn't say anything deeper, but said lightly: "Isn't it Li Qian and Liao Liao, the records made by the two of them together, I believe that the quality is absolutely top-notch, but I will tell them with facts that if the album is good, it does not mean that it will sell well! Being a good musician does not necessarily mean that you can be a good businessman!"
After a pause, he said with a little smugness: "At that time, he will understand that his biggest mistake is not to put his strengths and not make good use of them, but to do things that he is not good at!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside the school gate of Huaxia Drama Academy, a quiet street.
Li Qian stood on the side of the street, stopping to listen.
Three meters away in front of him, leaning against the wall of the school courtyard, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties sat on a small horse and was emotionally pulling the erhu.
His hair is combed neatly, he is dressed in casual clothes, clean, exquisite, and his fingers are also very clean.
But now, in front of him, there is such a large enamel jar.
There was a lot of change thrown in the mess.
He played very emotionally, and the song was quite mournful and sad, with the unique timbre of the erhu, well, just two words: good!
In fact, Li Qian has always felt that what can really make art very good has never been only the so-called celebrities and celebrities who are placed in the rankings, in fact, the masters have always been in the people.
For example, music, to put it bluntly, the so-called famous singers, famous musicians, and gold medal producers are actually just better at grasping the combination of popularity and artistry.
But a good piece of music is not necessarily written on a score, let alone recorded on a record.
For example, the song played by the street artist in front of him is something Li Qian has never heard of before, but it is very good.
After about seven or eight minutes of the song, the middle-aged artist stopped his strings and nodded at the only three or four listeners standing in front of him.
A man took out two dollars, walked over, and put them in the enamel jar.
The other couple turned and walked away, laughing and talking about something as they went.
The middle-aged artist smiled and nodded at the person who gave the money, but he didn't care about others walking away.
Li Qian took out his wallet, took a five-yuan one, and walked over to put it in the enamel jar for him.
This amount is already a relatively large income, the middle-aged artist looked at Li Qian, and when he saw that it was a young man, he also smiled and nodded, and at the same time, he had already taken out his cigarette case, and saw that Li Qian didn't seem to have the intention of leaving immediately, so he smiled, spoke a mouthful of Henan-flavored Mandarin, and asked, "Do you want to come to the root?"
Li Qian smiled and shook his head.
So he took one out and lit it. He puffed out a puff of cigarette with a look of enjoyment. Then he said to Li Qian: "Young man." If you want to listen to the next paragraph, you have to wait for me to rest. Ten minutes!"
Li Qian thought about it, simply walked over, and said with a smile: "Then come to one, wait for you." β
The middle-aged man smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, took out the cigarette case again, and shook it. Eject one.
The cigarette is the kind of ordinary cigarette that looks like a box of two yuan, Li Qian smoked one, lit it by his fire, and took a puff...... It's a little choking.
Li Qian coughed twice and said with a smile: "I haven't smoked for a long time...... I said, this smoke is very strong!"
The middle-aged artist smiled, did not agree, and enjoyed his smoking time freely.
After a while, Li Qian looked down at his enamel jar and asked, "How much can you earn in a day?"
The middle-aged artist thought about it. Said: "Uneven, thirty and fifty is it." I've earned more than 100 dollars a day!"
Li Qian smiled, squatting on the wall and smoking.
This time, the middle-aged artist became a little interested in him, so he asked, "So like to listen to tunes?"
Li Qian nodded, and finally couldn't stand the choking of this cigarette, threw it on the ground and crushed it, and said, "You made that song just now?"
The middle-aged artist smiled and said nothing, with an unfathomable and profound look.
Li Qian looked at him and suddenly said, "I don't think you look like an artist." β
The man looked back at him and smiled, "Then what do you think I do?"
Li Qian smiled, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "You should be playing music, doing this part-time?" but I can't guess what you do, it seems...... It's more like teaching. β
The man laughed and didn't comment.
But after a few moments, he suddenly said, "You've been a street performer too, right?"
Li Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Can you see it?"
The man finished smoking, extinguished it with his hand, and said, "I can smell the smell on your body from a distance of ten meters!"
This is a novelty, Li Qian asked in wonder, "How did you smell it?"
The man answered, "Then tell me first, how did you guess that I was a teacher?"
Li Qian thought about it and immediately laughed.
Well, in fact, everyone has the same meaning...... You make music, that is to make music, the temperament on your body, the layman can't see it, and the insider can't feel it?
After a while, the man looked at Li Qian, as if he thought he was too young, and he hesitated a little in his words, but still asked, "Will it be erhu?"
Li Qian looked at him in surprise, "I, isn't that robbing your business?"
The man sighed and said disdainfully: "Rob me of my business? You think beautifully! I lent you the erhu, and we made half of the money, which is equivalent to me hiring you to work!"
Li Qian laughed.
Not to mention, he wasn't interested, but when the man said this, he was really interested all of a sudden.
So, he stretched out his hand at that time and said, "Then I'll give you a small job!"
The man smiled and handed him the erhu, and at the same time stood up and let the little horse out of the way.
Li Qian sat down, put the erhu on his thigh, thought about it, and the strings suddenly moved.
After half a minute, the man nodded, "Well, don't say it, your hands are straight!"
Li Qian smiled, was silent, and pulled more and more energetically.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wang Jinglu and Shen Tiantian walked out of the school gate holding hands, they didn't know what they were talking about along the way, and the two laughed from time to time. Shen Tiantian is better, but Wang Jinglu was targeted by many boys of the same grade and senior grades as soon as she entered the school.
The two walked to the door, Wang Jinglu looked left and right for a while, and soon found Li Qian's off-road vehicle, so the two girls walked over. But when I got closer, I found that the car was empty.
The two were a little surprised, Wang Jinglu took out her mobile phone to call, but before she could dial the number, Shen Tiantian suddenly touched her, and when she looked up, Shen Tiantian said, "Look, look who it is!"
Wang Jinglu turned her head to look over, and was stunned for an instant.
Then, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Li Qian was actually playing erhu, and there were really a lot of passers-by next to him, and even a few of her classmates were listening.
Although it is sparse, it can be regarded as a circle of seven or eight people.
The two girls walked hand in hand, and when they got closer, they stood there stupidly. Seeing Li Qian squinting his eyes and pulling the erhu emotionally.
Wang Jinglu is better. She always knew that Li Qian had gone to Cao Zhan's restaurant to sing and sing. In my heart, I don't think that street performances can't see people, but Shen Tiantian stared at Li Qian tightly with her eyes wide as if she had discovered something super novel.
If you want to be serious, Li Qian's level of erhu is really not very high, at best, he is full of novices, and his basic skills are still passable. But it's still a long time before the real entrance to the house. But he can't stand that he is always full of passion as long as he does something related to music, so when a piece of music is pulled out, it really has some power to move people's hearts.
At least, you can feel from the expressions of the seven or eight spectators around you, they all seem to be enjoying themselves.
Wang Jing looked at him with a smile on his face.
After the surprise in Shen Tiantian's heart subsided slightly, she still had no intention of enjoying this moving tune, but couldn't help but lie on Wang Jinglu's ear and said, "What the hell is your boyfriend doing, he still plays erhu? and he still runs out to perform? Can he play erhu for a day to earn enough money for a meal for us to stay for a while?"
Wang Jinglu smiled. Push her, "Don't talk nonsense! Just have you to eat when the time comes! You don't care how he got here!"
Soon. The end of the song.
In the audience, there were really three people who took out change, some gave one, some gave three, and one, like Li Qian just now, directly gave a five-yuan one.
Li Qian nodded at the others with a smile and smiled.
When his eyes found Wang Jinglu, he smiled, stood up, and handed the erhu back, while saying: "That's all for these two paragraphs today, I'm short of money when I go back, and I'll come to you to work again!
The middle-aged artist took the erhu, leaned over with a smile, took out six yuan from the enamel jar, and handed it to him, "Spare you five cents!
Li Qian took it with a smile, not too much for six yuan, and promised to leave. But the middle-aged man stopped him and said with a smile: "I'll give you one more word, it's free." β
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and made a look of listening attentively.
The man smiled and said, "It's better to worry about it more than anything else!"
Li Qian opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this.
The man just smiled and sat back on his pony.
Li Qian stood in place, thought about it, smacked it, and couldn't help laughing-it turns out that when I have something on my mind, will I be seen casually?
"Thanks!" he said with a smile.
Then he turned around and walked in front of Wang Jinglu, looked at Wang Jinglu, and then looked at Shen Tiantian, and said with a smile: "Let's go, two beauties, what do you want to eat? I just earned six yuan!"
Wang Jinglu smiled slightly and let him take his hand.
Shen Tiantian looked at the monster with a look of looking at the monster, and looked Li Qian up and down, "I said the eldest young master, you are amazing!
Li Qian laughed when he heard this.
I have to say that after pulling two erhus, his mood was much better unconsciously, and he felt that the strength that had been tense up and down for a long time was loosened a little.
Yes, it is not easy to start a business, let alone when you and Liao Liao are tied together to start a business, it is even more popular.
However, what about the industry's resistance, and what about the encirclement and suppression?
It's a big deal to go back and sell songs, just be a pure producer, and still starve to death? Isn't it the same to make music? Isn't it the same to live a very happy life?
What did I think when I first came to this plane? I just wanted to make music!
With the huge advantages given by another time and space, at best, it is just to make your music path smoother and easier to achieve fame, but if you don't have those advantages, don't you love music?
How can it be!
I love music, I am willing to live for her, die for her!
So, why did you change your original intention because of a little success before?
Isn't it just that you have to worry about the future of the studio all day long, and you start to think about the overall situation at every turn? Forget it, I'm a musician, not a businessman!
Just do your best to make music, no matter who wants to encircle me, I'll use my music to fight back!
I don't understand the market, and I don't know how to do publishing, but my music is good, and my music is diao!
I don't believe it, just with those classic works in my head, just with the music I made, and with Liao Liao's golden signboard here, no matter how bad our album sells, how bad can it be?
There must be a collective suppression attitude on the side of the distribution company, so let them suppress it, and after selling a few copies in a row, I don't believe they won't break the head!
So, don't think about it!
He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills!
As for the rest...... Well, I already have Xiaolu, isn't it happy enough?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Don't brag about it, it's no problem for me to play the erhu enough to feed Xiaolu! But with your big light bulb, it's hard to say, because you are so good at eating!"
Shen Tiantian's eyes widened immediately when she heard this, "Do you want to drive me away?" I tell you that your surname is Li, you are dreaming! This big meal today is what our family Xiaolu promised me, you just have to pay for it, see how Miss Ben eats you!"
But when she said this, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Hey, no, your Xiaolu can eat better than me, right?"
Li Qian laughed.
