Chapter 75 New Neighbors

An author of Cao Zhan’s level is not considered the top in the pop music world, but he is definitely a sub-top one. Of course, the reason why he is not the top few is not that his works are not good enough, or that he cannot write. produce something good enough.

but--

First, his works tend to be quite literary, and if you listen carefully according to the timeline, you will find that it is getting more and more serious. Especially in recent years, the more he writes, the more connotative he writes, and the more he writes, the more refined... The so-called refined, expert musicians are shocked when they hear it, but you use it to let singers make records and sell them, right? Live, the common people can't hear any clever things in it, so he thinks, um, it's not pleasing to the ear!

Second, since his debut as a songwriter, he has never written the kind of work that can make someone famous with a single song.

Of course, even with such a serious problem, in the domestic pop music scene, he is still a musician that no singer or record company dares to underestimate.

It's just that his price tag can't reach the highest level.

Li Qian took his song "Love Me!" "Take it back and fax it to Li Jinlong who is busy recording the accompaniment in Shuntianfu. The other party calls back happily after receiving it, and highly praises this work.

Then, that afternoon, the cash transfer of 120,000 yuan had already been credited into Cao Zhan's account.

But compared with Cao Zhan, no one can give Li Qian a proper position in the music scene.

His works are very few, just debut, only five songs.

But it happened that these five songs appeared in the same album, and all of them were on the Voice of China's Golden Songs on Demand list! Moreover, they currently rank first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

This obviously represents absolute creative strength.

What is even more surprising is that the only five known works of his currently belong to the three small music categories of light rock, country songs and Chinese style, which obviously represent the overall strength.

Therefore, no one will have any objection to saying that he is the first-level and top-notch songwriter in the domestic music scene, but even the top-level people have a rough price tag, and Li Qian's works, There is no price tag.

What's more, except for a very few caring people, although there are countless people, singers, and record companies in the domestic music scene who want to contact him and get works from him, even if they beat around the bush, they can really get in touch. There are still only a few of his people.

Yes, the price that Liao Liao gave him for the five songs was no secret in the circle, but the problem was, facing him now, let alone 80,000 yuan a song, there were plenty of people willing to grab 180,000 yuan!

Give 80,000, do you want to offend someone?

So, the next day, shortly after Cao Zhan called to withdraw Li Qian's account, his bank card had an excess of 300,000!

This handwriting is obviously not small!

Even if an arrangement fee is added, there are only seven or eight songwriters in the domestic music scene, except for the few who receive dividends and royalties, who can get this price!

Obviously, He Runqing really likes the song "Half Pot Sha".

However, when Li Qian went to the bank to check the account and found that he had received such a large amount of money, he called Cao Zhan and said with a smile that it was too much, but Cao Zhan just said slowly: "It's not that they are not stupid. .”

Li Qian smiled.

Yes, they are not too stupid.

It could have turned into a friendship, but Cao Zhan and Li Qian felt a little uncomfortable because of the blunt way the other party used to invite songs. It was like offending both of them for one song. Not only two authors, but also two authors with fairly strong status. This approach is obviously not smart.

And Li Qian's solution was to give them a song that was excellent in terms of lyrics and music, but it happened that in the time and space he lived in, he didn't really win the corresponding success in front of the market.

Is "Half Pot of Yarn" a good work?

of course.

Will "Half Pot Yarn" be popular?

Not always.

However, after the other party got the work, although it was absolutely impossible to detect Li Qian's small ambush on the work, no matter it was He Runqing or the musicians around her, they would only praise this Zen song by Li Qian again and again. Modest Chinese-style works, but they also seem to have realized that the previous way of doing things was a little inappropriate, and it is easy to make the other party feel small, so this is why they have such a super high buyout fee for the right to use the song.

Li Qian... smiled and accepted.

At least he helped Cao Zhan repay a debt of favor, then got such a large sum of money, and finally dug a small hole for him... What else do you want?

Besides, in the days without Teresa Teng, he was a fan of He Runqing.

However, there was a sudden addition of 300,000 yuan in the account, which made Li Qian's heart restless again——

buy a car? Don't buy a car?

... ... ...

eight pm.

After listening to the six songs recorded by Wu Xing Wu Su from the beginning again, Li Qian could only sigh helplessly.

It's not that it's completely sexy, the key is that the style is too low.

According to Li Qian's plan, since there has never been a successful girl group in the domestic pop music scene, the new style album he wants to create for Wu Xing Wu Su must have fast songs and music There are slow songs, youthful styles, and nursery rhymes. It can be said that they are very inclusive and do not really set a very clear path for this group.

However, the style must be high!

Just for this, in order to unify the works of various styles in the whole album, he even did not hesitate to come up with a song that is almost certain to shock everyone when it appears, at least it has to be sung by people for decades classic work.

Therefore, we must not let these works with too low a style drag down the... forceful style of the entire album.

Think about it, in this album of Wu Xing Wu Su, there are memories of childhood, encouragement and guidance for children, young girls with a more courageous outlook on love, charming Chinese style, and youthful and beautiful girls. There are poignant and soft, majestic masterpieces that have been sung for hundreds of years, and even some exotic flavors... At this time, a song that can't move your thighs and butts suddenly pops up halfway, which is really too downgraded!

After hesitating again and again, Li Qian turned to the third page of the simple playlist and put a check mark on the paper.

"rush! rush! rush! ", just leave this one alone.

Although it is the most common saliva song, although it can't improve anything, but against the background of other powerful songs, it is not enough to bring any negative effects. It can be ignored by everyone while making up the numbers, and it can also save The production cost of Huage Records, and it can save me a song... This is its biggest role.

However, I am determined to continue using this song, and I recently got the song "Love Me!" from Cao Zhan. ", plus the five songs that have been put out before, the album of Wu Xing Wu Su only has seven songs.

So, at least three more songs are needed!

Well, of course, Li Qian has already prepared these three songs, and even the arrangement has been done. Just wait for the previous five songs to be recorded, and then they can join Cao Zhan's "Love Me!" " and took them out together.

Do a good job of keeping "Chong! rush! rush! After making this decision, Li Qian put down his songbook and pen, walked over to turn off his Walkman and speakers, poured himself a glass of water, and then went back to sit down with the water glass, ready to write a piece of music before going to bed.

Because the contract with Huage Records has already been signed, Wu Xing Wu Su has got the new song and is practicing it over and over again, while Li Jinlong is recording the accompaniment in Shuntianfu, so Li Qian’s time is compared to the previous recording of the two songs. At that time, it was a lot more relaxed. He only needs to go there every other day to guide a song for Wu Xing Wu Su.

Coupled with the full day on Saturdays and weekends, this schedule is fast enough.

It is preliminarily estimated that it will take at least two weeks for Li Jinlong to complete the accompaniment of the five songs. This is on the premise that Li Qian will not be beaten back to re-record.

Therefore, after the intense study and life, Li Qian finally has some time to write songs.

And in the recent period, although he was disturbed by the sudden acceleration of his pace, for some reason, Li Qian felt that his creative desire was more vigorous. Humming it out, even I feel quite amazing-speaking from the conscience of a musician with a history of 20 years of creation, this is really not smug.

Because of this, Li Qian has recently decided to try to string together these scattered songs to find inspiration, and strive to write his second mature work after coming to this time and space as soon as possible.

Well, that's right, his first work is called "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms".

So, there was still some time before going to bed at this time, he picked up the guitar and tried to start composing.

But before he could figure it out, he was interrupted by a sound from outside the door.

"Slow down, slow down, I've been raising this potted flower for ten years, don't hit it..."

"Hey, don't, put this here, put this here..."

Li Qian's mind, which was originally extremely excited, suddenly withered a little, and just a few words immediately disrupted all his thoughts and inspirations.

"When I am admitted to university in the future, I must buy a house near the university and make the sound insulation the best!" He thought helplessly, then shook his head, and began to pluck the strings again.

But, snap.

"Ah...what's the matter, you guys, are you still moving professionally?"

"Sister, you're on the third floor, and there's no elevator, so you can just give me 300 yuan. It would be nice for us to move an old car up for you!"

"Hey, what are you talking about!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he's a brat, he can't speak, don't be angry, it's just... what, it doesn't mean anything else, three hundred is really little, why don't you add another fifty? Oh, of course, of course, we will lose money for the broken one, absolutely!"

"..."

Well, Li Qian reluctantly put down the guitar.

Then he took a sip of water, walked to the door, and looked out through the peephole.

Well, the door on the opposite side is open, and several people are moving things inside.

About seven or eight days ago, the young couple who originally lived in the opposite door moved out. From then on, Li Qian knew that he was about to welcome a new neighbor.

After thinking about it, he took the key, opened the door and went out.

"Moving this is?"

The woman who was standing in the room directing the mover to put things away suddenly turned her head when she heard the words, and then the two of them looked at each other, both stunned.
