Chapter 70 Big Work?

In the listening room, many people who were extremely surprised at first regained their composure and sat back calmly.

Although no singer has released nursery rhyme works in their own albums in the domestic music market before, those who are familiar with this area understand that the market for nursery rhymes has always been there, and it is quite huge. It's not too much to try one out of ten or twelve works on an album.

Moreover, such a nursery rhyme with excellent lyrics and music and full of positive energy, let Wu Xing Wu Su, a group composed of five young and beautiful girls, sing it, and they actually sang a little The sound of nature and the smell of holiness... I have to say, when you think about it, you will think that this is a pretty beautiful idea!

Think about it, if Wuxingwusu can become the big sister in the hearts of hundreds of millions of teenagers across the country... How many fans they will have in the future is another matter, at least for now, this will definitely lead to this. A BIG SELLER OF THE ALBUM!

Besides, the nursery rhyme has never appeared before, is it like the last song "Sister and Sister Stand Up", is it just some common stuff that you can usually see?

Li Qian made a move, from country songs to light rock, then from light rock to brand-new Chinese style, then from Chinese style to fast youth songs, and then from fast youth songs to nursery rhymes... The path is a bit weird, but at least it is Judging by the ears of so many professionals in the audition room, no one dared to say that he would definitely not be able to play like this!

... ... ...

Soon, "Let's Swing the Sculls" was over.

For a moment, the listening room fell into complete silence, which formed the most sharp contrast with the noise before the playback started!

The general manager Huang Dazhong was in a daze for a moment, exchanged glances with Du Xiaoming beside him, and then said: "You don't need to go to the meeting room, everyone seems to be a little excited, just stay here. Say it."

While speaking, he and Du Xiaoming stood up one after another and walked to the front of the audition booth.

At this time, he saw the Wuxingwusu sisters standing in a row at the door holding hands. He pointed at them and said, "Go out first and wait for the results outside."

The sisters had no choice but to open the door and exit after hearing the words.

Big companies have rules of big companies. Auditions like this, of course, will inevitably require people from various departments to criticize the work. If the singer can’t hear it, it’s better not to let the singer hear it. After all, it’s just two demos. Everything is for the consideration of the work and future sales. If some people hold grudges because of their small stomachs, it is really unnecessary.

When Wu Xingwusu and their managers closed their doors and went out, someone immediately stood up and said: "As far as I feel, the first song definitely has huge market potential! This style has not yet been released in the market." It has appeared before, but my prediction is that it will definitely be popular, and if you release a song like this now, it will be a hit in all likelihood!"

Huang Dazhong nodded, this statement is very close to his judgment.

So, he turned his head and exchanged glances with Du Xiaoming, and seeing that the other party also nodded solemnly, he waved his hand to indicate that the speaker could sit down, and then asked: "Does anyone have any different opinions? Come, let's talk about it." .”

There was a moment of silence at the scene, and someone said: "I agree with Lao Qian on the first song, and this is the second song, that nursery rhyme...Of course, I'm not saying that nursery rhyme is bad, in fact, I feel pretty good, From the lyrics to the arrangement, to the singing of a few of them, it feels very right and very good. I just think that if these two songs are put into one album, will there be a bit of a mismatch in style? Will it...instead, mess up the theme that should have been prominent?"

Huang Dazhong nodded and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

The man said: "I mean, choose one of the two. I think any one of these two songs is quite good and has a foundation to become popular in the market. It’s against harmony, so, choose one of the two, and choose one as the title song of Wu Xing Wu Su’s album, and it’s also the main direction. The whole album revolves around this approach. Of course, I suggest that The first one, the market potential of that song is not only great, but I think it has a greater chance of becoming popular in the market. As for the other nursery rhyme, I don’t want to waste it. I will help them arrange two nursery rhyme works and make a piece A small album, or simply release a single to test the waters, if the market response is also good, then make a nursery rhyme-style album for them alone!"

Huang Dazhong nodded when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and said, "That's it? Anyone else want to say anything?"

After a pause, he saw that no one else in the room wanted to speak, and knowing that the above two views basically represented two different views of everyone, he nodded slowly and turned to look at the music director Du Xiaoming.

Similar to the configuration of all companies, the general manager of a record company, especially the boss of a large record company like Huang Dazhong, is often not the most professional person. And the most professional musician in a record company is often the music director or art director.

In Huage Records, of course it is Du Xiaoming.

But at this moment, Du Xiaoming had a strange expression on his face. He frowned tightly, not knowing what he was struggling with.

Huang Dazhong thought for a while and said, "The meeting is over."

Hearing this, everyone got up and went out.

Huang Dazhong beckoned to Li Jinlong, and when the other party passed by, he was almost gone. He asked, "You heard it all just now. What does Li Qian mean? Make these two songs into an album?"

Li Jinlong thought for a while, nodded, and said: "It should be like this. What I mean by observing him is that he doesn't want Wuxingwusu to become the kind of image that can only sing fast songs and then dance, and he also said that , if he is in charge of producing the album, not only this nursery rhyme, but he will also arrange a few slow songs for Wu Xing Wu Su in the future.”

Huang Dazhong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "He...is still of a good standard, and I can feel that what he is good at is not only light rock, country songs, Chinese style, etc., like that fast song, he made it. Quite standard, and...he always seems to be able to sense that there must be a market, but for a while we haven't been able to make a good example of that way..."

After a pause, he asked, "What price does the other party want?"

Li Jinlong lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and then said cautiously: "He will be responsible for the production of the entire album, and he will be responsible for creating at least five of the works. If the sales volume is less than 1 million copies, he will not ask for a penny!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up immediately.

Even Du Xiaoming, who had been frowning and thinking hard beside him, was suddenly attracted to him, couldn't help but let out a "huh", looked at Huang Dazhong, and said with a smile, "I'm really very confident!"

Huang Dazhong nodded and asked: "And then?"

Li Jinlong said: "Then, more than one million cards, he wants five points, 1.5 million cards, six points, two million cards, seven points, and then, two and a half million cards are eight points." Points, three million is ten points, and finally, if it exceeds five million, he wants fifteen points."

When Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming heard the words, a half-smile expression appeared on their faces at the same time.

Huang Dazhong looked back at Du Xiaoming, and said with a smile: "The lion opened his mouth!"

Du Xiaoming nodded and said: "It should be for two million copies. If there are really two million copies, Wuxingwusu will be completely popular and alive. Give him seven points...it's nothing." And I think, judging from the quality of the two songs just now, he should have a good record in his heart, and the sales volume seems very promising. As for the five million copies... Hehe, I guess he just hit three poles with dates or no dates. Well, I guess it is mainly to express his confidence in this album, mainly to give us some confidence, as for the actual sales of this number... I think that is unlikely."

Huang Dazhong nodded, agreeing with Du Xiaoming's statement.

This is just a small trick that is very common in business negotiations and business cooperation, nothing unusual.

Moreover, as Du Xiaoming said, the other party is estimated to be rushing to the sales level of two million copies. Then, according to this order of magnitude, don't say that Huage Records will be able to make money in subsequent commercial activities after Wuxingwusu becomes popular. Even if he only calculates the profit from selling records, it is completely worthwhile to give him seven points in royalties.

Seven points, two million copies, is only 1.45 million, which is only a small part of the 4 to 5 million profits that may be obtained from the entire album by then.

Of course, even though it was only a small part, it was after all divided from the profits of Huage Records. If it were someone else, it would be impossible for Huage Records to offer such a high price. The main problem now is that, apart from him, Li Qian, no one can guarantee, and indeed no one has the ability and confidence to make Wu Xing Wu Su sell two million!

So... In fact, even if the other party asks for a higher price, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line, Huang Dazhong will definitely nod and agree.

Since it is a scarce resource, it is of course expensive!

Why do you ask someone to make an album for you if you don't pay any price?

But at this time, after Du Xiaoming finished speaking, he frowned again. Then, he looked at Li Jinlong and asked, "Jinlong, you have been in contact with that Li Qian, has he...I mean, you guys are in contact with each other. In, did he talk about his thoughts on Wu Xing Wu Su? For example, his thoughts on creating them and making this album?"

"Uh..." This sentence stopped Li Jinlong immediately. For a while, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "Isn't it...the way of youth and dynamism?"

Du Xiaoming nodded slowly, but his expression was still full of doubts.

At this time, seeing Huang Dazhong looking over, he shook his head, spread his hands and said, "Actually, I just asked this casually. I always feel that, judging from the level of the two songs he has produced so far, it is obvious that we can I don’t think he can’t feel the problem of inconsistent styles. But since he felt it, why did he add a nursery rhyme to this album that is obviously going to be youthful? This is... a bit Can't figure it out..."

As if awakened by these few words, Li Jinlong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly said: "I remembered, I seem to have heard a few words from their sisters, it seems that Li Qian took out this nursery rhyme at that time. , the sisters also had doubts, but what Li Qian told them was that they should be trained to be girls of all people who are liked by all age groups?"

"National girl?"

Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming were both surprised when they heard the words.

This tone is big!

Up to now, the whole music scene has been like this, you have the ability to sing well, and then you really get a good song, so you can become popular, like Zhen Zhen, like Zhou Mo, like Liao Liao, and so on.

Therefore, strength comes first.

And obviously, from the current point of view, Li Qian has already created these two songs for Wuxingwusu. Needless to say, the fast song "Sister and Sister Stand Up", even the later song "Let's Swing Together" "Oar", as a nursery rhyme, the rhythm is soothing and melodious, but the five girls sang in unison, which also led to fans not being able to tell whether their singing skills were good or bad after the record was released.

So, Li Qian made this record for them without emphasizing singing at all?

Only emphasize the melody?

So, how should he unify works of various obviously incompatible styles into one album?

In a trance, Du Xiaoming only felt his heart light up, and suddenly felt that he had grasped a little trick.

Then, he couldn't help asking again, "Girl of the whole people? Did he really say that?"

Li Jinlong nodded and said, "It should be right. How about...call them in and ask?"

Du Xiaoming waved his hands, frowned for a moment, thought hard for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and then said to Huang Dazhong: "I should have guessed what Li Qian was thinking..."

Huang Dazhong and Li Jinlong turned their heads to look at him at the same time when they heard the words.

Huang Dazhong couldn't help but asked directly: "How do you say?"

Du Xiaoming's hands that have played the piano for thirty years unconsciously gestured, smiled, and said with a little doubt: "Actually, the idea is very simple. If an album contains many styles, then find a The first work that can overwhelm all styles comes out, isn’t that enough? The whole album, I don’t care how chaotic your style is, I don’t care what fast songs or slow songs you have, I don’t care what rock and roll nursery rhymes you are, I just like this one song to the end Once it’s played, it will calm you down, then OK, not only will everyone not feel that this album is messy, but instead feel that this album is rich in content..."

Huang Dazhong and Li Jinlong gasped when they heard the words.

Huang Dazhong is fine, but Li Jinlong couldn't help but said: "You mean the kind of big works that will be labeled as classics as soon as they come out? Works of that level... are not so easy to come out?"

Du Xiaoming shrugged and spread his hands, "He is Li Qian! Who knows, maybe he can do it with confidence?"

Li Jinlong stopped talking immediately after hearing the words.

Thinking about it carefully, although Li Qian's works so far are not many, but it seems that each song has a very new style compared to today's music scene, and each song is quite mature and listenable, so... Putting this matter on other people would definitely be scoffed at, but when it was put on Li Qian, it really made people afraid to jump out and question something in the first place!

Although you are amazed, although you are almost intimidated, but... you can only look forward to it amidst doubts!

At this time, Huang Dazhong let out a breath slowly, and suddenly he looked bright, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, that's right, why did you just release all the unique moves at the beginning? That kid, Sure enough, keep it back!"

Having said that, he thought about it again, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and said, "We won't change a single word of his terms, Jinlong, you can go to the legal department later and let them draw up the contract. Boy, follow Li Qian's wishes completely, and once the contract is completed, you can bring it to me and I'll sign it for you! Let's give him the benefits... enough!"

Du Xiaoming also smiled and said: "For this album, for that big work, I really can't wait to see it! This kid's thinking...is very unique!"

Hearing the words of the two big men, Li Jinlong was immediately relieved and nodded quickly.

Then, as if he was blessed to his heart, he suddenly said: "Don't worry, two bosses, I will definitely have a good relationship with Li Qian, and after fighting for it... Haha!"

Du Xiaoming laughed slowly when he heard the words.

Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand in a rare way, patted Li Jinlong's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Well said, Jinlong, do this thing well and win over this young musical talent, it's you One of his first achievements!"

... ... ...

Outside the audition room, people who came to attend the audition meeting came out in an endless stream. The sisters wanted to go in, but soon found that the company's President Huang and Director Du did not come out. After a moment of hesitation, everyone stopped tacitly.

Of course they are eager to know if the company can use Li Qian's new style for their new album, but they are also very clear that it is not enough just for the company to agree, Li Qian has not signed a contract with the company so far !

So what if it's talking about that?

And... there is almost no need for ifs, several people can guess that this is probably what is being talked about!

So, everyone was very anxious, but they just stood outside and waited silently.

Finally, about ten minutes later, the door of the listening room opened again, and Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming came out one after the other.

When he came to the door, Huang Dazhong walked up to a few girls on purpose, and said with a smile: "You guys are doing very well, and these two songs are also very good. When you go to Jinan Prefecture again, give me a message, just say I am here to prepare good wine and food at any time, Li Qian is always welcome to come over!"

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Several girls stood there, a little dazed for a while, and no one even realized how much they should reply.

Then, Du Xiaoming came over again, smiled and looked at the five girls one by one, and then he said: "Hold on to that kid, if my vision is right, he will make you popular for at least ten or twenty years !"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and walked away.

The five girls stood there, continued to be dazed, and continued to look at each other.

Today's two bosses... are so kind!

Then, Li Jinlong came out.

With a smile on his face, he glanced at Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming who were gradually going away, and said to the five girls who were staring at him with a smile: "Mr. !So... ha, well, you guys can laugh and cheer!"

"ah?"

"yeah!"
