Chapter 303 Global Thinking

In the coffee shop, Li Qian was wearing earphones and holding a book in his hand, while reading a book, he sipped coffee slowly.

Suddenly something passed by out of the corner of his eye, Li Qian glanced over subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes lit up - since the last time he saw this cat, he has always remembered this kind of cat.

So he closed the book and tapped the coffee cup with the spoon.

The fat and alluring black cat didn't even look at him, it walked slowly between the two rows of booths, then jumped up, sat down on a chair, slowly turned its head and neck, and looked around.

Majestic, like a king overlooking his own kingdom.

Li Qian smiled, and tapped the small spoon in his hand again. This time, he deliberately brought a little rhythm.

Sure enough, the cat looked back.

Li Qian couldn't help but want to see and praise its eyes once.

Its fur is dark and shiny, but its eyes are blue and blue, and it looks like a god.

What is especially pleasing is that this time, Li Qian came with a camera.

So, Li Qian dinged a few more times to keep attracting its attention, and then quietly took out the camera from the small backpack—seeing this, the cat immediately turned its head away in disdain.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Li Qian knocked again, then picked up a piece of snack with a smile, and shook it.

It looked at Li Qian with some doubts, but it still looked unmoved. So, Li Qian put the snack on the table, pushed in its direction, and quickly picked up the camera.

Click! Click! Click!

Li Qian took three pictures in a row, and immediately felt relieved.

The cat looked at him and jumped off the chair with disdain. At this time, the camera in Li Qian's hand kept on capturing its every movement.

I thought it was going to walk away, but I didn't realize it. I don't know if it was attracted by the camera that blinked and clicked. It jumped off the chair and walked a few steps. With one leap, he climbed onto the chair opposite Li Qian, and with another leap, he climbed onto the table.

Li Qian was overjoyed, and pushed the snack towards it.

It glanced at the dim sum, flicked its paw, and moved it aside, then tilted its head and looked at the camera in Li Qian's hand.

"Oh, No! K..."

The tall French man that Li Qian had met once, but he couldn't remember his name, came over, spoke a little broken Chinese, and said to the cat: "You know, you can't go to the guest's table... "

While speaking, the man came over, turned his head, saw Li Qian, and was immediately surprised.

"Oh...GOD! Lee..."

Li Qian stood up, stretched out his hand, pretended to remember him, and said, "Hi, we meet again." While speaking, he had already seen Xie Mingyuan.

After shaking hands, the Frenchman hugged his cat by the waist, and at the same time couldn't help but excitedly said to Li Qian: "Mr. Li, your work is super nice, I especially like your song "Nothing", compared to "Nowhere to Shame", ", I feel that jazz-style works like "Nothing" have a more charming temperament... Oh, by the way, I am your fan!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Thank you. I personally like that one better."

"Oh..." The man was so surprised that he was speechless. He ignored Xie Mingyuan who was standing behind him, and just said, "You like K, right? Do you want to hug him?"

This time it was Li Qian's turn to be a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" he said.

Li Qian reached out to pick it up, only to realize that the cat is really fat.

The cat stared at him innocently, and then, when Li Qian was about to hold it in his arms, it suddenly struggled, jumped up, and threw itself into the arms of the Frenchman. .

The man shrugged helplessly.

Li Qian also shook his head helplessly, but he still said, "It's so beautiful, like a king."

... ... ...

After a lot of trouble, the chattering French boss Kittenly finally left. Xie Mingyuan came over and sat down. When the coffee was served, he saw the camera and said with a smile, "I almost forgot, you are still a professional photographer!"

He asked again, "Why, do you like that cat very much?"

Li Qian nodded, put away the camera, and said: "If I want to make a movie some other day, I must find a way to shoot it in."

Xie Mingyuan chuckled and refused to comment.

The two chatted casually, and after a while, the coffee was served, Xie Mingyuan stirred it, picked it up and took a sip, and then said: "This time I asked you out, except I haven't seen you for a long time, the main reason for chatting with you is I have two things to discuss with you."

Hearing that he was talking about business, Li Qian put away his smile, nodded, and said, "Say it."

Xie Mingyuan said: "The first thing is that our company is going to organize a group of singers to hold a tour in Southeast Asia. It is mainly some big cities. Currently, eight places have been selected, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, mainly It is a place where the Chinese live together. I would like to invite Liao Liao and He Runqing to go there too, after all, they are also very influential there."

Li Qian nodded and did not speak.

So Xie Mingyuan continued: "Of course, there is not much money for this matter. Our company will send out a few people. In addition, in the circle, people like your company's Liao Liao and He Runqing will also invite a few people. The remuneration of these singers will not be too high, even much less than when they go out to receive commercial performances."

Li Qian nodded again, thought for a while, and said, "For this kind of thing, you should contact the company directly. You know, in our company, I don't care about these things."

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "Of course I know you don't care about these things. In fact, I also sent someone to talk to your Mr. Qi, but...the price was not agreed upon. She should be quite dissatisfied."

Li Qian shrugged and smiled.

The implication seems to be: Then if you give less, it will be useful to find me?

Xie Mingyuan smiled, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's not that I don't want to give more, and it's not that I don't want to give more to Watanabe. In fact, the channels in the entire Southeast Asia are all from Sony in Japan. So, for them, this time The tour is definitely going to make more money, and the singer, of course, squeezes as much as he can."

Having said that, he paused before saying, "It's our country's singer anyway, not theirs."

Li Qian smiled, tapped his fingers on the table twice, and then asked with a smile: "Do you think I will agree if you come to me alone?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and didn't speak.

Li Qian thought for a while, but finally shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I promise you, later you send someone to the company to talk, and I will say hello to Qi Jie."

Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard the words, "That's right!"

Li Qian smiled wryly: "But...the matter of Wang Jingxue, let's get over it now!"

Xie Mingyuan stared at the words, "Hey... that's not allowed! You know very well in your heart, you fully understand why you agreed, so I am not willing to use this favor in this place, absolutely not!"

Li Qian waved his hands hastily, looking like a rascal, "I don't care! Anyway, this is the end of the matter! Let's settle it!" Then, regardless of what Xie Mingyuan said, he said directly: " You continue to say, didn’t you just say two things? If there is anything else, hurry up, I have to leave as soon as I’m done, I’m busy!”

Xie Mingyuan looked at him helplessly, but then burst out laughing, and said, "You know? I've known you for so long, just now, I suddenly saw something in you that a person of your age should look like!"

Li Qian laughed, ignoring his run.

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said: "I think you are quite leisurely, how is it, the album is finished recording?"

Li Qian nodded and said, "The recording is over." But soon after, he said, "But I'm not busy, I still have two albums to do! If you have something to say, hurry up!"

Xie Mingyuan remembered seeing him teasing and patting cats when he first came here, shook his head and smiled, and said, "That's fine, I'll just talk about it. The second thing is, if your own women want to fight each other, I don't care, they love you." You can fight as you like, but I said, can you persuade the person in our company, can we not fight in the market? This loss is our Sony money!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "You don't have much confidence in Momo, don't you? I think she has a lot of confidence in herself!"

Xie Mingyuan curled his lips, and said directly to his heart: "Whether I have confidence, whether she has confidence, others don't know, you know it well! Zhou Mo is very strong. According to our market research, after the release of her last album, she She is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more fans who like her, far exceeding the peak of her peak before she quit the music scene. But this time, her opponent is Liao Liao! My brother, give me face, persuade me She, at present, Liao Liao is not something she can face head-on!"

Li Qian thought for a while, sighed in distress, and said to Xie Mingyuan: "If I tell you, I can't persuade you, do you believe it?"

Xie Mingyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, but suddenly laughed.

"Don't say it, I really believe it when you say it. She... yes, if she listens to persuasion, she really isn't her!"

After saying this, the two smiled wryly at each other.

... ... ...

After chatting with Xie Mingyuan in the coffee shop for a long time, Li Qian shook hands with him and said goodbye, and drove back to the company.

Cao Zhan is an all-round player. Before the album "Fake Monk" was recorded, he had already declared that he would do the post-production in person. Of course, Li Qian had no possibility of disagreeing. He just sent a few post-production teams in his company The staff also followed secretly.

So, after the album was recorded, the post-processing was handed over to Cao Zhan, so he could take a breather for the time being.

After returning to the company, he found Qi Jie. Li Qian told Qi Jie what Xie Mingyuan had just said about letting Liao Liao and He Runqing participate in the Southeast Asia tour. Then he turned around and was about to go to Yangjuan Hutong for dinner, but Qi Jie stopped him.

Qi Jie looked very reconciled, and chased Li Qian and said, "Do you know how much the quotation from Sony is? 80,000 yuan per person for a show! This is Liao Liao and He Runqing, who are accepting commercial performances in China." , One game is called around one million yuan! That's good, fly all the way to Southeast Asia, and one game will give you 80,000 yuan, you agree to that?"

In the past year, especially after completing the release of two albums by herself and achieving success, Qi Jie is gradually experiencing and growing up, and now she already has a very strong aura of a strong woman.

When it comes to music, of course she still believes in the theory that "Li Qian is absolutely right", but when it comes to business, she has become more and more daring to deny Li Qian's ideas and decisions.

After thinking about it, Li Qian still patiently explained: "Going out this time is no longer a matter of making money or not. Don't you understand? That's Southeast Asia! Even if you lose money, as long as time permits, as long as you have the opportunity to go If you are doing commercial performances, performances or events there, you must go there!"

Qi Jie was very puzzled when she heard the words, "Why? You have to go to lose money?"

Li Qian simply turned around and explained to her seriously: "The entertainment and music in our country started late, and there have been civil strife all the time, so, at least in terms of distribution channels, even if it is Xinda and Huage, There is not much influence in that area. There is only one Sony, through Sony Japan, which has a certain distribution capacity there. For the time being, we can’t think too much about channels. In fact, in that market, we put Once the album distribution agent sells it, they won’t be able to earn a little more money, but if they earn less now, it doesn’t mean they won’t be able to earn all of it back in the future!”

After a pause, he continued: "There are so many people in Southeast Asia, and many of them are Chinese-speaking overseas Chinese. It can be said that that area is naturally a consumer circle for Chinese culture. Our domestic music and songs include Movies and TV series have always had a certain influence there. It’s just that our domestic market is huge, and the domestic market alone has already given everyone enough to eat. In addition, the country doesn’t pay much attention to culture. Exporting this matter, therefore, although the Southeast Asian market is already very fat and very attractive, no one in China has vigorously developed it.”

As he spoke, his expression became more and more serious, as if he was talking about something important to the nation, "But no one is doing it now, it doesn't mean that no one will do it in the future. In the future, with the intensification of competition , for our domestic companies engaged in the art and cultural industry, it is very likely that it will be a situation of "the one who wins Southeast Asia wins the world"! Therefore, even if there is no money to make, even if it loses money, the artists in the company, including Liao Liao and He Runqing, as long as there is a chance, we must go there to get acquainted! Because at this stage, what we have to do is to cultivate the centripetal force of this market for Chinese culture!"

After a pause, he said again: "Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if there is no such market for the time being, we can still eat enough, and we can not be afraid of anyone, but at least, as you know, the export of European and American culture is getting bigger and bigger. It is getting stronger and more turbulent. With the advent of globalization and the development of the Internet, even if we can't enjoy the sweetness there for a while, we can't let such a large natural market be pried away by the Americans bit by bit. Put it on your own plate?"

This kind of big thinking that looks at the world and wants to compete with Europe and the United States, which is desperately exporting their own culture, for Xie Mingyuan, who has a high level of artistic achievement, has lived abroad for a long time, and is still in charge after returning to China. For people in a large company, it is natural to have it. This is the so-called national cultural awareness.

And Xie Mingyuan firmly believes that people who have reached Li Qian's level must be able to speak clearly. In fact, after experiencing the pain of Chinese culture in another time and space retreating again and again, Li Qian did understand Xie Mingyuan's words as soon as he heard it. deep meaning.

So, the two of them met and hit it off.

But before this level of things, Qi Jie had almost no chance to think carefully before, so when she heard it now, she immediately felt an inexplicable sense of grandeur.

So, Li Qian Barabara said, it was almost a long speech, but Qi Jie's eyes widened when he heard it.

In a trance, it seems that a larger world has opened up in front of him.

Yes, what Li Qian said is right, Southeast Asia has such a good foundation of Chinese culture, it is a natural place for the export of Chinese cultural art, audio-visual products and entertainment products!

Wanting to understand this point, she clapped her hands, which startled Li Qian.

Then, Qi Jie looked extremely excited and said, "Succeed, then promise them! When the two of them pass by later, I will follow!"
