Chapter 55: Donkey's Temper (Part II)
Chinese Record Company, rehearsal room.
After practicing for a few days, the Five Elements Wusu Group basically practiced the new song they had just gotten, and it happened that the accompaniment had already been made, so they recorded a rough sample in the morning. After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and just after half past one, they came to the rehearsal room one after another, chatting and waiting for the dance teacher to be appointed.
So far, their new album has six songs, each song is in this rhythm, first get the songbook, practice the song here, arrange the music there, record the accompaniment, then record the sample, and then practice the dance...... And this time this song, it is said that it is especially important, because this song is likely to become the first title of the album.
In other words, even if there are only two songs on the mV disc released with cD, this song must account for one.
For this reason, the company has also made great efforts, and it is said that it specially invited dance directors from other companies to help choreograph, and the leader, that is, the dance teacher who will come over this afternoon, is not small.
It is said that she is a famous belly dancer in China, and she once won the runner-up in the International Pole Dance Competition...... There is no doubt that the choreography of this song must be amazing!
In the rehearsal room, several girls wore short shirts and hot pants, and sat in the rest area casually chatting casually, only Wang Jingxue sat quietly on the edge alone, in a daze.
Suddenly hearing someone call her name, she looked up in a trance and looked at the past, and heard Sun Ruoxuan, who had the best relationship with her, ask: "Xiaoxue, you also listened to Liao Liao's album, right? Which one do you like the most?"
Even Sima Duoduo, the most arrogant of the five-person group, had to admit that in their group, Wang Jingxue's voice and singing skills were the absolute first, so when they heard Sun Ruoxuan ask, several others also looked at it curiously.
Wang Jingxue nodded, thought for a while, and said: "The whole album is very good, if you like it the most, well, it should be the wildflower, I like the indescribable energy in the lyrics." ”
Zhou Pingping immediately echoed when she heard this: "Like me, I also like wildflowers the most, and I also like the lyrics of the song Wildflowers the most! Hey, by the way, didn't Sister Wu say it in the morning, saying that Liao Liao's five songs on the on-demand list are the songwriters...... Yes, it's called Li Qian, doesn't it mean that he is still a high school student? And it seems that he is still in his second year of high school?
To say that the hottest album in the pop music industry at present is naturally "Liao Liao", as a new celebrity in the music industry, all kinds of gossip related to Liao Liao are endless, among which people in the circle are especially concerned, naturally the songwriter of her five songs on the list is not only the same person, but also a high school student.
At this time, Zhou Pingping spread the gossip she had inquired about very seriously, saying: "It is said that the news came from Changsheng Records itself, and it should not be fake! I heard that Liao Liao spent 400,000 yuan to buy those five songs, but when she returned to the company, everyone felt that she had deceived a high school student, and the boss of the record insisted that Liao Liao go and ask for the money back! Later, Liao Liao insisted again and again, and the boss of the record finally reluctantly agreed. And when it was first released, it was said that Changsheng Records only prepared 200,000 goods for this album, and at that time, the company agreed that this album would be good if it didn't hit the street, but no one expected that she would become so popular after brushing it......"
How can anyone who makes music not hope that they will become popular? Especially newcomers and prospective newcomers who have just entered the industry for a long time, who has not dreamed of becoming popular once?
And now, there is such a person who has realized this myth of becoming popular overnight in front of him, so that how can a few girls in the Wuxing Wusu group who have just entered the entertainment industry for only one or two years not be excited, envious and jealous?
Therefore, in the past few days, as long as Liao Liao is mentioned, everyone's desire to chat will instantly become stronger.
At this time, Sima Duoduo couldn't help but say: "I have to admit it, if people are lucky, they can really encounter any good thing, you say, then Liao Liao went to Jinan Mansion and spent 400,000 yuan, and he actually came back with five songs in the top ten on the on-demand list, isn't this luck?"
Wang Jingxue actually wanted to say when she heard this, "Liao Liao's singing skills are also very important, although the song is good, it must be sung by her voice to be perfect!", but she knew that it was too unpleasant for her to speak like this, so she endured it and didn't say it.
At this time, the other girls nodded in unison when they heard this.
Luck, a bit of luck indeed!
In everyone's mind, if Liao Liao didn't go to Jinan, if Liao Liao went to Jinan, but he didn't see Li Qian by mistake, or he didn't hear Li Qian sing when he saw Li Qian...... In short, even if there is a little mistake, then it is obvious that her "Liao Liao" is just the most ordinary newcomer album on the market.
It was precisely because Liao Liao's luck came that he met Li Qian, and suddenly threw a "sky-high price" of 400,000 yuan at the newcomer, which moved him and bought his five songs, so Liao Liao became today's Liao Liao!
Therefore, she is popular, and she is beautiful!
It seemed that they all thought of this, and several girls sighed almost at the same time.
Then, Xie Bing, the most beautiful of the five, couldn't help but say: "You say, how great it would be if that Li Qian could write a few songs for us! Maybe as soon as this album is released, we will also become popular!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and dragged her cheeks, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked like she was in a deep dream, and Sun Ruoxuan couldn't help laughing, "Ah, ah, our Xiaoice Bing is complaining...... Hahaha, hey, I said Bingbing, or you can seduce people and help us get a song!"
"Yike...... Damn it! This girl doesn't ...... But, high school student, I think he must be very handsome! Okay, then Xiaoxuan, you are responsible for asking me about his home address, and I'll try to seduce him!"
"Hahaha, it looks like she's really complaining......"
"Not only whining, but also nymphomaniac......"
"Hey, Miss Xie Bing, please be a little reserved, even if you want to seduce, don't say it so openly, right?"
The sisters were laughing, and the agent Sister Wu pushed the door in, and when she saw everyone's happy appearance, she couldn't help asking: "Why is this? What is so cola?" Listening to everyone's gossip about Xie Bing's whining and nympho words, Sister Wu couldn't help laughing, "Okay babies, don't dream! The company has already contacted Changsheng Records, and Li Qian is indeed still in high school, and he has no plans to make his debut, and people even refuse to disclose their contact information, so ...... Wake up and warm up, your dance teacher is coming soon!"
Several people stood up lazily, pressing their legs and rubbing their ankles. After a while, producer Li Baolong pushed the door in, followed by a beautiful girl who looked to be in her twenties.
Seeing them come in, Sister Wu clapped her hands, and the five of them immediately gathered and stood in a row.
Li Baolong first introduced: "You have also recorded a sample of the new song, so, the next thing is the dance of this song, this choreography, the company has spent a lot of effort, invited a lot of experts in the circle, so, everyone must follow the dance teacher to practice seriously, whether this album can become popular, to a large extent, it depends on this song! oK, let me introduce to you, the choreographer of your song is also your next dance teacher, weny, Wu Xiuqiong! Everyone is welcome!"
The five sisters applauded, and Weny smiled and nodded at everyone.
Then, Li Baolong introduced the names of the five elements to Wu Xiuqiong, the dance teacher, one by one, and then solemnly introduced: "You may have also inquired, Teacher Weny is a master of belly dancing and pole dancing in our country, so let's study hard, okay......? Weny, would you please give us a demonstration as well? You know, I want to see you show off your dancing too!"
This weny is obviously a person who doesn't talk much, and when she heard this, she just nodded lightly and said "okay".
Then, receiving the eyes of album producer Li Baolong, Sun Ruoxuan hurriedly ran to turn on the power of cD and speakers, and soon, a dynamic electronic sound came out.
At this time, Wu Xiuqiong had already taken off her shirt and danced to the music only in tank tops and shorts.
As one of the three giants in the industry, among the musicians under and with whom Hua Song Records cooperates, there is naturally no shortage of arrangers, and the arrangement of this electronic dance music is also quite dynamic, and Wu Xiuqiong, who is also a belly dancer and pole dancer, once she moves with the music, her proud figure and sexy dancing posture are also instantly seen in the eyes of several people in the rehearsal room.
But next......
The faces of several girls in the Five Elements were slightly embarrassed.
Because of several movements in this dance choreography shown by Wu Xiuqiong...... It's so provocative!
Fingers tugging back and forth between the legs......
While her eyes were like silk, she reached out and rubbed her chest to the rhythm of the music......
And you have to keep rubbing your ass with your hands......
Compared with this set of dance moves, several girls suddenly felt that the choreography that they already thought was very glamorous and sexy was actually quite conservative!
This is simply a naked sexual provocation!
If you relate it to the lyrics of this song......
Although everyone knows that the company's positioning of their group is to take the sexy route from the day they joined the company, sexy and sexy are not the same, although the choreography of the last album is also going to show the sexy posture of the sisters, but that level of display of sexiness is not offensive, and this ......
A song was played quickly in three minutes, Wu Xiuqiong stopped moving, album producer Li Baolong smiled and applauded, and agent Sister Wu also applauded with him.
But several girls looked at each other, as if they were hesitating to applaud.
Wang Jingxue's face was expressionless, but there was anger in her eyes.
Xie Bing, Zhou Pingping and Sun Ruoxuan all looked worried, but they were secretive.
Even Sima Duoduo, who has always been the most daring and open among the five sisters, has a little unsightly face at this time.
Considering that most people in China are still quite conservative in their aesthetic tastes, the choreography of this song is not popular, if it is really popular, how many of them don't know if they will be detained with a ** hat? Will they be scolded for being immoral?
But obviously, looking at the appearance of producer Li Baolong, he should be very satisfied with this dance.
After admiring Wu Xiuqiong's dancing, he turned around and told a few girls in the Five Elements Wusu Combination to study hard, and then said goodbye and left.
The five girls turned their eyes to the agent Sister Wu as if they were asking for help.
Sister Wu was a little embarrassed and was hesitating whether to chase out and say something, Wang Jingxue had already stepped out and chased out the door coldly.
Wu Xiuqiong had already noticed the abnormality in this rehearsal room, but she only took the money to teach dance movements, and naturally pretended not to see the internal affairs of other companies. Therefore, when Sister Wu showed her an apologetic smile, she just smiled and didn't care, but said: "The food at noon is a little salty, I'm a little thirsty, go drink a glass of water first, everyone take a rest first, and then start practicing later!"
So the girls who stayed in the rehearsal room thanked them one after another.
When Wu Xiuqiong walked to the rest area to drink water, everyone gathered together to look at the door of the rehearsal room, but they didn't dare to chase it out. But a moment later, they heard the quarrel outside the door, and they didn't care about any taboos at the moment, so they walked to the door one by one and opened the crack in the door to look out.
…………
In the corridor, Wang Jingxue quickly caught up with producer Li Baolong and said, "Teacher Baolong, is the choreography of this song too provocative?"
Li Baolong stood still, smiled helplessly, and spread his hands, "This is the company's arrangement! You also know that your last album didn't sell well, so the company thinks that instead of continuing to slow down the songs for you, it is better to create a few more fast songs and electronic dance music, and then pair them with sexy dances...... The company is also thinking about you, right?"
When Wang Jingxue heard this, she still didn't even have a smile on her face, but said coldly: "But I don't want to be a ****! I don't want to be scolded for being immoral! The lyrics of this song are also upside down, this choreography, I don't agree!"
When Li Baolong heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Perhaps in those small and medium-sized record companies, there will be more respect for the wishes of the artists themselves, because the company's method of making records is originally to take a personalized route, when the singer's wishes and the producer's ideas conflict, many times it may not necessarily be completely in accordance with the producer's methods, but in a large company like Hua Records, the absolute strength of the company in the face of the artist will make the producer have an authority that cannot be provoked.
Especially when the other party is just a few girls whose record sales are very ordinary and don't see much bright prospects in the future!
Li Baolong glanced at Wang Jingxue coldly and said, "Look at your company's arrangement and my work, you have a lot of opinions!"
Wang Jingxue stared at him coldly, not giving an inch, "The company wants us to take the sexy route, this is no problem, but sexy does not mean that we need to turn a few of us into glamorous dancers! Whether it is pole dancing or belly dancing, it can be both sexy and good-looking, and it is not offensive, why does the choreography have to add those sexually provocative movements?"
Li Baolong squinted his eyes slightly, and his voice slowly became louder, "Wang Jingxue, are you criticizing me?"
Wang Jingxue took a breath slowly, suppressed the anger in her heart for the time being, slowly lowered her head, and said, "I didn't mean that, I just didn't agree with this choreography!"
Her attitude seemed to have dropped a lot, but the anger on Li Baolong's face did not diminish in the slightest. He sneered and said, "Yanwu?**? Do you know how much money the company spent on cultivating a few of you? But how did you repay the company? How much did you sell on the last record, you don't know?"
"Tell you Wang Jinglu, I, the producer, are implementing the development direction set by the company for you! I also want to tell you that in order to collect songs for your album, my legs are thin, and my face is stiff with a smile! I don't think the song is good? I don't like it? I think it's a glamorous dance? I don't want to be a **? Okay, then you can go out and collect songs by yourself! Fang Ling, Mianmian, Roadside, Niu Wulang, Cao Zhan...... Any one of them will do, they can write songs that make you become popular without dancing, so you go to them to invite songs! I, Li Baolong, put the words here, as long as you can find these people to ask for songs, the company is there, I will tell you for you!"
Wang Jingxue was silent.
Not far away, the five elements and other girls who were hiding at the door and eavesdropping also lowered their heads.
Yes, their last album sold so badly, and their reputation was not very good, except for their sexy dance, it seems that there is really no strength to talk about, so the company is not very smooth to collect songs for the new album, so when making the album, it can only go in the direction of sexiness a little more extreme......
Big-name musicians like Fang Ling, Mianmian, and Cao Zhan, if you think about it, you know that even if a big company like Hua Sing comes forward to invite songs, they will definitely not agree to take the boutique in their hands to a few girls who "can't sing at all, and only a few thighs are worth seeing......
Yes, when their first album came out, a music critic did say that, he said: "I really don't know what the need for this group to release an album, except that they are not out of tune, these five girls who can't sing at all, it seems that only those few thighs are worth watching!"
Thinking about it this way, everyone feels that the future is really bleak......
At this time, seeing that there was a lot of noise outside, and even people in other rehearsal rooms had already walked to the door to watch the excitement, Sister Wu, the agent of Wuxing Wusu, had no choice but to go out, pulled Wang Jingxue hard, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxue, stop messing around, quickly apologize to Teacher Li! Teacher Li has put in so much effort for your album, others don't know, you still don't know......?"
Hearing Sister Wu say this, the expression on Li Baolong's face eased slightly, but he still stared at Wang Jingxue coldly, as if he was waiting for her to apologize - so many people have heard it, or it will spread throughout the company in less than half an hour, if Wang Jingxue doesn't apologize to him in public, will he, the producer, still be able to mix in the future?
But at this time, Wang Jingxue just lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Sister Wu hurriedly pushed her to remind her, but Wang Jingxue remained motionless.
At this moment, Li Baolong's face suddenly became even more ugly than just now!
He had long known that Wang Jingxue was a thorn, but he didn't expect her to be so ignorant! Perhaps, when the contract expired, he should suggest that the company directly terminate the contract with her?
Taking a deep breath, although he was already suppressing the anger in his heart, he was still angry when he spoke, "No need! Apologize? I don't dare to ask Miss Wang Jingxue to apologize to my little producer! She will be a big star in the future!"
Full of cynicism!
But at this time, Wang Jinglu raised his head to look at him, but there was no angry look on his face. Her face, which had always been expressionless, showed a rare slight hint of entanglement and struggle.
Then, suddenly, she said, "What if...... If I could find someone to write songs for us...... Is Li Qian okay?"
Li Baolong, who was waiting for her to apologize, only heard the first few words and knew that the other party was actually going to fight with him, and couldn't help sneering at the moment, and subconsciously said: "Li Qian? Ha ......" But a sneer only laughed halfway, he suddenly came back to his senses, his face changed, his eyes widened, and asked, "What did you say...... Which Li Qian is it?"
If a few weeks ago, it seemed that there was no one named Li Qian in the music circle, but now, this name is already the hottest existence in the entire music industry!
At this time, when the words came out, Wang Jingxue relaxed, and she replied calmly when she heard the words: "It's that Li Qian!
Li Baolong looked at Wang Jingxue with wide eyes in surprise, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. Then, he blinked, continued to stare at Wang Jingxue, and said, "You mean...... The Li Qian who wrote "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers"?"
Wang Jingxue nodded calmly.
Then, she saw that Li Baolong's Adam's apple seemed to make a swallowing motion.
"Do you know Li Qian?"
Wang Jingxue nodded again.
Suddenly, Li Baolong raised his hand and slapped it his head.
Then, he continued to stare at Wang Jingxue, still in the same tone of disbelief, and asked, "Are you with him...... Familiar? I mean...... I mean, can you get his songs?"
Wang Jingxue nodded again and said calmly: "Yes!"
Li Baolong's Adam's apple made another swallowing motion.
And then...... He suddenly slapped his face, "Then you didn't say it earlier!"
Wang Jingxue looked at him in amazement when she heard this, only to see that at this time, the black cloud of anger on his body just now had already dissipated without a trace, and the whole look was full of red light, rubbing his hands excitedly, and forgetting to hold a grudge, he just said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, very good! Xiaoxue, you ...... tomorrow From now on, I will take your vacation, it is said that Li Qian seems to be still in high school in Jinan Mansion? You should buy a ticket to go to Jinan Mansion now, and go to him to invite songs!"
“…… As long as you can get his songs, as long as they are good songs, don't worry, we will give you as much as he wants! If 80,000 songs are not enough, then 180,000! You don't have to worry about this at all, I will be responsible for reporting to the company! By the way, as long as you bring his songs, your new album will set the tone according to the songs he gave you!"
…………
Finally, when Li Baolong, who was so excited that he could barely help himself, went to report to the leader, Wang Jingxue completely ignored all kinds of complicated gazes cast from the doors of the various rehearsal rooms on the side of the corridor, turned around and walked back to his rehearsal room.
With a snap, the door closed behind her and her agent, Sister Wu.
A moment later, there was a sudden scream in the rehearsal room that was high enough to burst the ears of a normal person!
"Okay, you Xiaoxue, you actually hid us so bitterly, just now Bingbing said that you want to dedicate yourself, you can hold back and not say it! Sisters, go on, clean her up!"
