Chapter 201 Liao Liao Is Jealous
Liao Liao is back.
During the two months of September and October, she showed unprecedented diligence. In just two months, she ran up to twelve commercial performances. According to the verbal agreement she had made with Chen Changsheng, if she ran three more in November, the fifteen commercial performances would be considered complete.
And when all the fifteen commercial performances were completed, she brought Changsheng Records an income of 13.2 million yuan. Although such income has to be taxed, and the tax is not low, in addition, after paying taxes , Liao Liao can only get the remaining 40%, and the company still has to take the bulk, but there are still a full four million!
Therefore, for Liao Liao at this time, it should be regarded as a happy moment anyway.
But, since she got out of the airport, she never showed a smile to Qi Jie who came to pick her up.
For the little thoughts in her heart, Qi Jie was as clear as a mirror in his heart, so he simply ignored her. As for the little assistant Huang Wenjuan, she has become a doormat these days. She has almost heard enough of someone's complaints these days, and now she dare not say a word.
After the car got out of the airport, Liao Liao said sullenly, "Is he in the studio?"
Qi Jie's answer was very concise, "Yes!"
So I went straight to the studio.
But when the car arrived at the underground garage, Qi Jie parked the car, only to find that she didn't get out of the car.
After a pause, she raised her hand and rubbed her brows, and said suddenly: "Go home first, let's go home first!"
Qi Jie pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but seeing Huang Wenjuan winking at her all the time, she didn't bother to get angry with her, so she sat back in the driver's seat again and sent her home.
The car starts and drives out of the garage.
Liao Liao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
When the phone was connected, she said with a trace of fatigue in her voice, "Hello, me."
The car was quite quiet, Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan could clearly hear the voice from the other end of the phone.
It was Li Qian, who seemed to be smiling.
"Are you back? Have you been picked up?" he said.
"Well, I got it, we're on our way! I'm a little tired, so I won't go to the studio, I'll go home and have a rest first."
"Okay, go home and have a good rest, let's rest for a few days!"
"Uh, are you free tonight?"
"Night? Why?"
"Take you to a place, introduce a few people to you by the way, make sure you are interested!"
After a while, Li Qian on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Is that the bar where you sang? Ha ha, good, I said I would go, but I haven't gone! It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I'll show you." Look!"
... ... ...
The lights are on.
In a western restaurant, Li Qian and Liao Liao sat opposite each other.
When the steak was served, Li Qian waved the knife and fork directly, eating it heartily.
Liao Liao has to be more careful when eating. Girls, at least eat in small bites, not so rude.
Halfway through eating, Li Qian felt something was wrong, so he raised his head to look at her, still chewing on the beef, and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Liao Liao seemed a little too happy today, and he didn't get close to the exhaustion she had when she was talking on the phone in the afternoon. At this moment, she was also smiling. When she saw Li Qian asking, she suddenly leaned closer and asked in a low voice like a guilty conscience: "Hey, you come out to have dinner with me, does your little girlfriend know? If she knows , must you be jealous?"
Li Qian glanced at her, let out a "tch", didn't bother to talk to her, and continued to cut the steak with his head down.
But Liao Liao enjoyed himself and smiled happily.
Occasionally, when she raised her head, something that made her feel guilty flashed past her eyes.
... ... ...
Music is something that has no geographical or time-space restrictions. But popular music, or the commercialization and marketing of music, has circles. This circle, with the major record companies as the core, gathers a large number of musicians and singers, and finally uses a large number of bookstores and audio-visual stores as sales terminals, and then extends to major performance companies. A music market with a total volume of billions.
And the core of this circle, as far as the country is concerned, is in Shuntian Prefecture.
Countless musicians with dreams rushed here from all over the country, trying to join this circle, trying to make their music heard by more people, trying to become popular, trying to gain both fame and fortune. But to be honest, if it weren't for the super strength, otherwise, it would not be so easy to enter this circle.
Those who linger outside the circle but are unwilling to leave naturally form another major part of the music circle, that is, underground music.
Many singers and musicians had been in the underground music circle before officially entering the industry, such as Li Qian in his previous life, and Liao Liao two years ago.
... ... ...
Night, half past eight, in a bar in Shuntian Prefecture.
Li Qian parked the car, walked in the door with Liao Liao side by side.
The place is not small, and about 40 to 50% of the guests have already attended. There is a stage area in the center. On the stage, there is a girl who doesn’t look too old to sing with a guitar, and guests in twos and threes are drinking and chatting.
Overall, it's not too hot, but the atmosphere is pretty good.
Liao Liao walked in with Li Qian familiarly, and said as he walked, "It hasn't started yet!" The two randomly found a corner not too close to the stage and sat down. He took off his sunglasses, and when the waiter came over, he ordered two glasses of water skillfully, then asked Li Qian with a smile, "Is this your first visit to this place?"
Li Qian smiled and could only nod his head.
In this life, of course he came here for the first time, but in his previous life, he performed in this kind of bar for more than ten years. Simply put, this kind of place is where he makes a living, and he is so familiar that he can't be more familiar with it.
The waiter quickly brought two glasses of warm water. At this time, Liao Liao was already on the phone. After a while, she hung up the phone and said with a smile: "They are preparing for the performance at the back, come here right away, they are all my buddies!"
Li Qian smiled, nodded, and suddenly asked, "You seem very excited today? Shouldn't you be very tired?"
Liao Liao was a little stuck, and rolled her eyes. She pretended to be calm and said: "This is my base! Of course I... Hey, how do you know that I am very excited? I am obviously very tired, okay? Isn't that right? In order to accompany your big boss, that's why you forced a smile? Hey, you still laugh, can you have a little conscience?"
Li Qian smiled and picked up the cup to drink water.
About three or four minutes later, Liao Liao stood up suddenly and waved behind Li Qian. When Li Qian turned his head, he saw several people striding over, so he simply stood up.
A group of five people, from the perspective of normal people, well, they are all dressed up more or less weirdly.
With a smile on his face, Li Qian watched Liao Liao fist-bumping and greeting them familiarly, and then Liao Liao pointed out and introduced him, "This, Ma San, Ma Lihe, the lead singer, has a weird voice! That, Rhythm Guitar, Da Liu, Liu Meiyang, that, bass, Da Bin, his name is Da Bin, his surname is Ou, and he is also the captain of their band, and this one, Fatty, Chen Chuanhai, the drummer, and that one, Carrot, is called Luo Bomin, Lead guitar! Oh, by the way, this is the guy I have admired for a long time, and he will soon become my boss, brothers, hurry up, if you want to flatter, you can start now!"
Li Qian smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hi everyone, my name is Li Qian."
Several people looked at Li Qian in surprise. The bar performance hadn't started yet, and the lights were not too dim. They could clearly see Li Qian's appearance, even though Liao Liao had said many times that Li Qian was really young. However, seeing the real person still gave them a feeling of shock - because this face was so tender.
However, several people were stunned for a while, and then rushed to shake hands with Li Qian.
Ou Dabin is the team leader, and when everyone shook hands with Li Qian, he smiled and said, "I knew that Lao Liao has been working with you, Mr. Li, and our brothers listened to the songs you wrote for her. It's worship! Worship to the ground!"
Li Qian smiled and said: "It's too much, sit down, sit down and talk!"
As a result, only four people could sit in the seat, so Ou Dabin immediately changed seats. They performed here all the year round, and they were very familiar with the bar, so they quickly found a large empty seat. open chat.
Of course, at the beginning, the most important thing was to listen to Ou Dabin and the others express their admiration for Li Qian, chatting, and everyone became less polite, so they started to get to the point.
Their band is called "Red Grasshopper". The members of the band have known each other for a long time, but they each had their own bands. Until the beginning of this year, everyone's original band broke up. When a few people met, they formed this band. new band.
The band leader and bassist Ou Dabin and drummer Chen Chuanhai are both Liao Liao's old partners when performing in bars. Of course, when Liao Liao was active in underground performances, they did not form a band. In fact, Liao Liao only They were signed by Chen Changsheng not long after they sang, so they didn't have time to form a band at all, but their friendship still exists.
They are currently performing in several bars in Shuntianfu. Basically, they perform for about an hour every day, singing other people's songs as well as their own works. Generally speaking, their style is a little more traditional rock, Very improvisational, with a bit of American Tradition rock.
Right now, Li Qian is not well-known among fans, but in the music circle, he has long been one of the most famous musicians and producers. In the underground rock circle, because the songs he wrote for Liao Liao successively , is also very famous, so everyone sat down and talked for a while, seeing that a band had been replaced on the stage, Ou Dabin smiled and said: "Our performance starts at ten o'clock and ends at eleven o'clock, I don't know Mr. Li, can you stay until that point? If you can, please give me some pointers. We, too, have always wanted to go into business, and have talked with several record companies, but we can’t reach an agreement. , I’m not afraid of your jokes, what they said, we think it’s a layman! Of course, this, it’s because we are too paranoid! Needless to say, Lao Liao, you are everyone who makes music, and we can trust you for your advice!”
Li Qian smiled and said: "If you are not paranoid, you can't make music well, but if you are too paranoid, it is often not easy to commercialize. This depends on your own choice. In this way, I will listen to it later, whether it is useful or not." Use it, let's talk back."
Ou Dabin slapped his legs when he heard the words, "Well, with your words, we can work together!" While speaking, he turned his head to look at Liao Liao, and said with a smile: "Lao Liao is here today, she is a rich woman, we Don't be brave, let her invite you!"
While talking, Ou Dabin stood up, shook hands with Li Qian, and said: "Then Mr. Li, you sit down first, we have to go backstage and prepare to go! I won't accompany you, forgive me, forgive me!"
When he said this, several members of the band stood up, shook hands with Li Qian one after another, and then left Shanren.
After they left, Liao Liao drank his saliva and asked, "How about this? These people, don't they have a taste?"
Li Qian also picked up his glass to drink water, and said with a smile: "What can I see at this time, the key is to be in the stands, just wait, wait and listen!" After a pause, he couldn't help being surprised again Taking a look at Liao Liao, I always felt that she was a bit weird today, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I asked, "You are going to recommend them to me, and you want me to sign them?"
Speaking of business, Liao Liao looked a little more serious, and said seriously: "It's not that you have to sign them, you can decide whether to sign or not, but to be honest, even I think their style is not very good. It’s easy to sell albums! But, I think so, whether I record songs in the future, or someone else records songs, instead of finding someone else at that time, you must manage some contacts in advance? How is the music level of their band? So, I can’t say, but at least the work in their hands is quite beautiful, and I asked them to help record several songs for the accompaniment of my last album.”
Li Qian stared at her intently, and gently swung his chin with his right hand—well, he finally felt a little taste.
So, he leaned closer and asked, "Hey, why is your 'someone else' so heavy?"
Liao Liao glanced at him, feeling a little depressed instantly, his face fell down, and he raised his chin provocatively, and said, "What do you think? Why?"
Li Qian laughed, "What? Why are you so upset that I signed He Runqing?"
Liao Liao said angrily: "I'm happy with anyone you sign, but I'm even more happy when you sign He Runqing. The queen, she's here, proving that the future of the studio is better and thriving! But the problem is, I'm the studio Is it okay to be the first signed singer? Why should she get ahead of me?"
Li Qian spread his hands, "But you can't sign the contract before it expires! She just came here, and she is so sincere, I can't say, oh, you have to wait, after I sign Liao Liao, the first The second is you, right?"
Liao Liao stared at him fiercely, "Excuse!"
Li Qian shrugged helplessly, "Okay, don't be angry, can I make an album for you first?"
Liao Liao almost slapped the table, "I should have done it first!"
Li Qian pouted, a little helpless.
Who would have thought that Liao Liao, who has always been extremely magnanimous, would become jealous over such a trivial matter.
But fortunately, this was in a bar after all, so Liao Liao just stared at him bitterly for a while, and then said, "I'll settle the score with you later!" He didn't say much.
But at this time, after singing a song on the stage, there was applause in the bar, Li Qian felt that his eyes suddenly went dark, a figure swayed for a while, and then stopped.
A young man in casual attire stared at Liao Liao, and said in surprise, "Sister Liao?"
... ... ...
The person who came was Sun Hua, who was from Liao Liao's hometown, from Dalianfu, Liaoning.
It is said that when he came to Shuntianfu and started performing in bars, Liao Liao had already signed to Changsheng Records, but Liao Liao signed the contract. Even if he became popular later, he would still spend some time every year returning to the bar. Come to sing a few songs, so after going back and forth, I got to know the little fellow Sun Hua who was singing in the bar at that time.
If it is said that when Li Qian met the members of the Red Grasshopper Band just now, Li Qian only had a rough perception of his current status in the music circle, then after Liao Liao introduced the two of them, he looked at Sun Hua with a surprised expression. His expression, and then he appeared a little restrained and flattering, and for the first time, Li Qian really felt the influence he has on these people in the music circle, especially these singers and bands.
There is no way, everyone who is engaged in music wants to be popular.
Regardless of whether you admit Li Qian's musical talent, anyway, he is one of the most famous gold medal producers in the current circle!
What's more, if we only look at the results of the last one to two years, it is no problem to remove the "one" and say that he is the best producer in the circle!
Everyone shook hands and sat down. Sun Hua seemed to always want to talk to Li Qian, but everyone was unfamiliar, so Liao Liao mainly talked to him—he signed to Times Records three months ago, three years, two albums, The first album is currently in preparation.
When the topic got to this point, he couldn't help but said a little cautiously: "I'll wait until the album is released. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Li and Sister Liao to listen and give me some advice."
Before Li Qian could answer, Liao Liao smiled and said, "I have no problem! But you can't afford his price, haha!"
Sun Hua smiled awkwardly. When he smiled, his already round face looked a little cute.
Li Qian took the initiative to smile and asked: "I heard that your bass voice is quite high, what path are you going to take?"
When Sun Hua heard the words, he immediately lifted his spirits, and hurriedly said: "Love songs!" After saying a word, he was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sister Liao's two albums have opened up the way, so now everyone Everyone is rushing to upload it, and they all know that love songs are easier to hit the charts and sell well! My producer asked me to list a few love songs too. Look, isn’t it that even Zhou Mo couldn’t help but come back? The market, singing with the youth wind, is the hottest!"
Li Qian nodded, "Love songs... are pretty good too. Let's follow the wind direction of the market, let's take a trip first, don't worry!"
While the three of them were talking, the band that had been performing for a long time on the stage just now had finished its performance. After thanking them, they left the stage. At this moment, Sun Hua suddenly said, "Teacher Li, why don't you listen to me singing a song for you?"

In many cases, a ticket, a word, the heart is warm!
thank you all!
Code with heart, happy life!
I wish everyone a happy Double Eleven. Well, by the way, I hope that the brothers and sisters who are still single can have a good relationship in the next few days. Luckily, there will be no need to celebrate Singles’ Day next year!
