Chapter 333: The Future Sky Group

Just do what you say, even though Liao Liao's upcoming new album "Women's Flower" has already signed the global sales agency rights outside China to Sony Records in advance, it can be said that this one is destined to let Sony Records It was earned, but since she was determined to be in the Southeast Asian market, Qi Jie quickly booked a flight to Singapore on Wednesday, and she will rush there with a number of company executives and professional accountants , Don't play any falsehoods, just rush to cooperate and talk.

You know, at the beginning, I signed the global agency rights for four albums to Sony at one go. Because of the temporary and sudden addition of "Fake Monk", He Runqing's new album is no longer included in this list. Recently, especially after Qi Jie went to Southeast Asia, Sony has been chasing and asking to renew the agency rights for five more albums.

Obviously, neither Li Qian nor Qi Jie wanted to sign anymore.

But unfortunately, He Runqing's new album will be released in July.

If you do it yourself, Southeast Asia can be listed later. This is no problem, although domestic pirates are omnipotent. Basically, after about two weeks after the pirated version is listed in China, they will pull the pirated version to Southeast Asia in a container. That's right, and the pirates in Southeast Asian countries are also very good. If the original version arrives late, it will mean that the sales will be greatly reduced. But since this matter is to be done, it is tolerable to sacrifice some profits for a short time.

Just...not too late.

If domestic piracy and local pirates in Southeast Asia work hard, all kinds of piracy will flood the market, and basically there will not be much sales of genuine copies. The pioneering effect that the album of He Runqing, the number one superstar in Southeast Asia, can bring is really wasted-this kind of waste cannot be measured simply by the loss of economic benefits of an album.

Therefore, Qi Jie's attitude is very clear, precise positioning, direct negotiations, unimportant concessions, no differences in fundamental interests, let them go as they should, and at least win Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia before the end of May. A piece of the block market. Before the release of He Runqing's new album in mid-July, we must get all three countries over there.

In a word, we should take advantage of He Runqing's banner to let Minghu Culture's first shot in the Southeast Asian market sound first!

As for the national policy level, to be honest, don't say that the record industry has not been involved yet, even if it is involved, it is obviously not something that Qi Jie can solve alone. What she is thinking about now is her own affairs.

However, just after she had a meeting here to study the past list, Liao Liao came to her and asked her to bring Huang Wenjuan with her. The meaning of Liao Liao was very simple. When going out, it is still necessary to have someone who can help Qi Jie worry about small things, so that the family can feel at ease.

And in fact, in the past two years, Huang Wenjuan was basically a wild card.

The little girl has no academic qualifications. If you really want to talk about culture, it is actually limited, but she is careful in doing things, and she can't do big things, but when it comes to taking care of people and being a counselor, she is a good hand. And in the past few years, as she has been exposed to more scenes, her horizons have become more and more broadened. Some things, she stands outside the door, and she does not see them in detail, but it is easier for onlookers to see. Some things, some of her suggestions seem simple. , In fact, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Over the years, she initially worked as an assistant for Liao Liao at Changsheng Records. Later, when Qi Jie came to Shuntian Mansion, Liao Liao had a lot of things to do, so she would often be assigned to Qi Jie, asking her to lead the way and help in Shuntian Mansion. Yes, and later, she came to Li Qian's studio with Liao Liao, and became a versatile little assistant shared by Liao Liao and Qi Jie.

In the future, with the merger of Li Qian's studio and Minghu Culture, the stall will grow bigger and bigger. Qi Jie, the general manager, is too busy to spare too much energy to serve as Li Qian's manager. Therefore, this part was handed over to Huang Wenjuan without hesitation. Qi Jie was only responsible for some major issues, and Huang Wenjuan was busy with specific minor matters.

In this way, despite the fact that the little assistant is not astonishing in appearance and does not overwhelm the public, she has quietly become the assistant of Li Qian, Liao Liao and Qi Jie—whoever is busy, everyone will first think of: Let Juan Let me give you a hand!

Now that Qi Jie is the general manager of the company, the secretary has already matched her, and that little girl graduated from college, with a neat dish, a ponytail tied up, and a suit, and she attends a scene or something. As far as being energetic and face-saving, it’s okay to handle some documents and official business. It’s very meticulous and smart, but it’s not as caring as Huang Wenjuan when using it.

Especially the personal life assistants—please, Liao Liao, Qi Jie, Huang Wenjuan, they are all those who can drink and chat naked in the same room. How can this relationship be compared with just recruiting a secretary?

So, it was finally decided that Huang Wenjuan would follow Qi Jie to Singapore.

Liao Liao, on the other hand, decided to use a girl named Wei Lan whom the company had just recruited last fall as an assistant, and began to lead her from head to toe.

According to the plan in her heart, from now on, Huang Wenjuan will be let go, let her experience both administrative affairs and brokerage affairs, and see which aspect is more suitable, and then completely turn over in the future.

…………

It has been less than a week since the release of Liao Liao's new album. Qi Jie, the general manager who should have stayed in Shuntian Mansion, has gone to Southeast Asia. According to common sense, the company's business will be somewhat chaotic.

However, I have to admit that although Qi Jie started very late and even made many low-level mistakes when Li Qian's studio was first established, she has always maintained a rapid progress along the way.

Up to now, the entire Minghu Culture Company has been managed quite smoothly by her. Although she was not there, according to the plan she and the distribution department made in advance, the release and listing of "Women's Flower" was progressing steadily and orderly, and was not affected by her temporary business trip plan.

As for the production department, the albums of the three newcomers are under intense preparation. At present, Ge Rilen and Zhuang Meiyue are progressing smoothly. They have already practiced the song given by Li Qian quite well. And after the company has gained a firm foothold, it already has a pretty good social circle in the circle of musicians, so it's not a big problem to ask for songs for them.

It's just that there is something wrong with Zhao Yuan.

He is a very talented singer, his voice talent is not too outstanding, but he is very good at using it, and what is rare is that he is also a singer-songwriter. It can only be said that it is limited, and it has not reached the level of releasing an album, but the strength of a singer-songwriter is not just reflected in songwriting.

So far, he has mastered the three songs given to him by Li Qian quite well, even better than Ge Rilen and Zhuang Meiyue. However, when it comes to the arrangement, he has an opinion with the producer Li Jinlong. It was different, but in the end no one could convince anyone, and in the end the matter came to Li Qian, and it was not over until Li Qian came up with another version of the arrangement for him.

But the consequence was that Li Jinlong was very unhappy, even though the first thing Li Qian did after learning about this incident was to ask Zhao Yuan to publicly apologize to Li Jinlong. Negotiate slowly, there is absolutely no reason for open quarrels, or even disputes. However, although Zhao Yuan also apologized, Li Jinlong still doesn't like his unruly temper - despite his handsome appearance, his temper is quite stubborn.

In short, although he is a newcomer, he is self-reliant and a bit arrogant, so much so that even though the producer Li Jinlong holds great power, he still can't hold him down at all!

Of course, bad examples can't be opened, and Li Qian obviously can't take over just because of such an incident, otherwise, where will Li Jinlong put his face? Besides, once this example is opened, will Li Qian take over if everyone makes trouble with Li Jinlong in the future? How could he be so busy? But, then again, it was true that Li Jinlong couldn't suppress him.

Therefore, Li Qian, Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Li Jinlong discussed briefly and decided that Liao Liao and He Runqing would join forces to take over the production of Zhao Yuan's new album. Liao Liao's new album will be released soon, and she will definitely Going out to run publicity, so He Runqing is the main one. When Liao Liao comes back from the publicity, it will be the two of them teaming up!

The two queens teamed up to help a newcomer, Zhao Yuan, make an album. The face was too big. Of course, Zhao Yuan had nothing to say, and even felt a little worried after being flattered.

After all, no matter how proud he is in his bones, he is a newcomer after all!

However, in this way, will it open another bad example?

Obviously not!

Even if it can, Liao Liao will make it impossible!

Because after the meeting that day, the matter was settled, she and He Runqing had a brief discussion, and did not do other things first, the first thing was to call Zhao Yuan to the lounge, and it was a reprimand.

He Runqing has been a queen for twelve years, and Liao Liao is the absolute number one superstar in the domestic music scene, and both of them are the company's deputy music directors. Let alone a newcomer like Zhao Yuan, even Zhou Ye A well-known second-tier singer signed here. If they dare to do something too much, if the two of them stop there, they will definitely scold you without discussing it!

For the contracted singers of Minghu Culture, apart from Li Qian, they are basically the biggest!

Therefore, when Liao Liao crackled through the training, Zhao Yuan blushed and couldn't speak directly, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes again and again—but, with Liao Liao's wisdom, training is training, and she even deliberately loudly , so that everyone who passed by the lounge door could hear it, and it spread quickly in the company, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys. , but always start from Zhao Yuan's point of view, so that Zhao Yuan obviously received a general training, but he felt that Liao Liao was thinking about himself from the beginning to the end...

Afterwards, He Runqing smiled and said: After being trained by Liao Liao, it is estimated that Zhao Yuan will not dare to raise his tail in three or two years!

…………

Over there, Liao Liao and He Runqing took over Zhao Yuan's new album. Here, Li Qian has already prepared for Rose Power's first album and selected all ten songs of the entire album.

Wednesday, May 10, afternoon.

Minghu Culture, Music Director Office.

After knocking on the door, three girls, Sun Ruoxuan, Xie Bing, and Wang Jingxue, filed in.

As soon as she entered the door, Sun Ruoxuan smiled and said, "It's not easy, Mr. Boss, you finally think of us. If you don't call us again, my hair will turn gray."

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and while letting them sit, he took out three identical songbooks from the drawer, and walked over with them, and sat down on the sofa himself, but put the songbook on the tea table in front of him, He was not in a hurry to hand it over to them. Instead, he put on a gesture of heart-to-heart talk, and said with a smile: "It was agreed at the beginning. After you sign up, you will receive half a year of training. How about this half a year? Is there any progress?"

When it comes to business, Sun Ruoxuan nodded with a serious face, and first said: "The teacher pointed out a lot of mistakes before, and there are many small details that I didn't even notice before. Well, I feel that the harvest is still there. Pretty big."

Li Qian nodded with a smile, and said: "That's good. This is the use of letting you train and learn first." Then he turned to look at Xie Bing and Wang Jingxue—but it was useless, Xie Bing just nodded, Said: "I also gained a lot." Wang Jingxue, who sat on the farthest side, was even more powerful, just nodded and said, "Yeah."

I don't know whether she is agreeing with Xie Bing's words, or answering Li Qian's question just now.

But Li Qian didn't care, just nodded, and then asked: "Then... do you have any thoughts about the new album? For example, the three of you usually chat together, do you have any ideas about the style of the new album?" Idea?"

The three girls looked at each other when they heard the words, and then looked at the songbook on the coffee table in unison.

That's obviously prepared for them, okay?

It's not a year or two, once or twice to deal with everyone. Everyone is very familiar with Li Qian's style of doing things. Basically, as long as he agrees to take over, he must have considered everything. And the so-called overall consideration not only included all ten songs that he picked up casually, but even the arrangement and singing style had already been considered in his heart.

Basically, to make an album with him, all you need to do is to practice the songs honestly, and then follow his guidance to find the feeling he wants you to give and the effect he wants, and that's it .

Let it out, it is designated that there will be a red song!

So, when he asked this question, even Sun Ruoxuan, who was usually the most quick-spoken, hesitated for a while and didn't make a sound.

At this time, it was Xie Bing who smiled sweetly and whispered: "We all follow your orders. We can come here as you arrange."

Sun Ruoxuan nodded, Wang Jingxue lowered her head as usual, as if she had no intention of getting involved at all.

Li Qian glanced at Xie Bing, smiled, and then looked down at the songbook himself, knowing that they must be very itchy at this time, and they must want to see what songs he has given, but they are not in a hurry Showing it to them, he just said: "Then you are too good at saving trouble? More or less, you should have some thinking on your own."

Sun Ruoxuan curled her lips, "Boss, don't make things difficult for us? You have prepared this song! We are all old people who have been with you for several years, okay? How can we not know you?"

But after a pause, she still thought about it and said: "As for the style, the three of us have also discussed it. Dodo has gone to Sony. According to what we know about her, she must be going into a literary style. She usually I just love that. After the three of us left, Wuxingwusu must be incomparable to what it was then. Therefore, the market for youth songs has no strong signs at present. In addition, the three of us came from Wuxingwusu , many fans know it, so if you have to ask, I can only say that the three of us guessed that the style you developed for us must still be a youthful song!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this.

In fact, Sun Ruoxuan is quick-spoken, but she is not the kind of "outspoken" that people often say. In fact, she is quite a smart person. Her mouth is fast, mainly because her brain responds quickly.

And not only fast, but also quite insightful.

Therefore, even though she was not the best in singing, figure, and beauty in the original Wuxingwusu, she was not even the best in dancing, but it still did not prevent her from becoming a five-year-old girl. The de facto backbone.

So, when we had dinner with director Zhao Yigu of the Variety Department of Huaxia TV Station, when we talked about variety shows, Li Qian wanted to plan a variety show, and when he took stock of the people he could use, the first thing he thought of was Sun Ruoxuan.

To put it simply, she naturally has the basic elements to be a host.

Being able to grasp the topic, be able to cut the depth, and have incisive insights, plus a certain appearance-in fact, this is almost the same, what is lacking is the training in actual work and the accumulation of experience.

As for what she said just now, she was basically more than half right.

Therefore, Li Qian laughed and said: "In general...that's right. After the three of you signed up, I had one idea, that is to continue the thinking at that time and make you a first-day Chinese group, which has not changed until now. However, the style of music and ideas still need to be slightly changed. Specifically, it is necessary to narrow the scope of your style of music, so that you can be more targeted. Instead of requiring more and more complex music as before. The style of music has changed. Because now, the times have changed, and people’s ideas have also changed, and you don’t need some relatively thick works to cover up your fast songs.”

While speaking, Li Qian calmly pushed the three playlists on the coffee table beside him.

"Here, let's have a look at your new song!"
