Chapter 137 Xie Mingyuan

The place where the three met was a music cafe.

The place was chosen by Xie Mingyuan, it is not big, it is the kind of small roadside shop that you can usually see, but when you walk in, you can see that the environment is very elegant, and there are not many customers, so there are only two or three tables of guests sitting here and there. The appearance of deputy three or two friends holding tea and chatting.

Xie Mingyuan came over half an hour early and waited. When Li Qian and Liao Liao opened the door and came in, he caught a glimpse of them and immediately stood up to say hello.

Singers who have reached the level of Liao Liao must be fully armed as long as they go out, because with the development of contemporary media, many fans are very familiar with the appearance of their favorite singers. Seeing it, I immediately dared to gather around and ask for my autograph.

On the contrary, Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan, regardless of the actual coffee positions in the circle, can at least surpass Liao Liao by one level, but when they walked on the street, no one knew them.

When the album "Liao Liao" was released earlier, Xie Mingyuan's father, Mr. Xie Jinshun, wrote an article to praise it. Although it may not be of much help to the sales of the album, in the circle, it is equivalent to giving Liao Liao a direct blow. Extremely high praise, to be honest, thanks to the influence of the old man in the circle, he has praised it very much, other people have opinions, and it is not easy to say, and it is impossible to get too many people's approval. For Liao Liao, it was naturally a favor.

So when Chen Changsheng wanted to hold a celebration banquet for her after going out to publicize and returned to Shuntian Mansion, Liao Liao personally went to Mr. Xie's house to invite her. At that time, she and Xie Mingyuan, the actual director of Sony Records, Already had a relationship. Later, taking the opportunity of everyone getting together to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, Xie Mingyuan met Liao Liao again, and directly proposed to invite Liao Liao to sign with Sony Records. The so-called 30 million offer for 40 songs was given by Xie Mingyuan at that time.

And now, this is the third time they have met within a year.

Seeing Xie Mingyuan standing up and beckoning from a distance, Liao Liao called Li Qian to go with him, took off his sunglasses and beret after a few steps away from him, and then shook hands with Xie Mingyuan very politely.

After Liao Liao, it was Li Qian.

Xie Mingyuan held Li Qian's hand tightly, shaking it again and again.

"The times are changing, the market is changing, the current domestic pop music scene, only the king and the ear!"

The evaluation of this sentence is very important!

When green plum cooking wine was regarded as a person in the world, Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, said this and praised Liu Bei strongly. Later, the two became the second heroes in three parts of the world.

It can be said that being able to say this as soon as they meet each other shows that Xie Mingyuan thinks highly of himself, and it also shows that he really appreciates Li Qian to the extreme - of course, whether it is admiration or not is another matter.

But even if it is a compliment, this is definitely the highest level of compliment.

In the domestic pop music scene, there are at least dozens of regular record companies, other large and small so-called record companies that are not in the mainstream, even leather bag companies, and even so-called record companies that do not make records but only commercial performances. It is estimated that there are two to three hundred companies together, and the largest and most prestigious ones are the three giants of Sony, Huage and Cinda.

Among the three giants, Sony Records, a Sino-Japanese joint venture, is the leader.

And in Sony Records, Xie Mingyuan is the well-deserved number one person, even the general manager of the Japanese side can't hold him down as the music director!

Therefore, although Xie Mingyuan is still a little arrogant in terms of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, he still deserves his name to some extent, but he uses Liu Bei, the future emperor of Shu Han, as a metaphor for Li Qian, for Li Qian who is only a freelance musician at the moment, who has only made two newcomers famous, and is still a newcomer himself, it is absolutely overrated.

Everyone in the world loves to listen to good music. For ordinary musicians, if they can get Xie Mingyuan's evaluation, they will probably be so happy that they can't sleep for three days, and they can brag for a lifetime when they look back. After all, Xie Mingyuan's status is there. What he said , still have sufficient credibility and persuasion.

So upon hearing these words, Liao Liao, who was entering the booth sideways and was about to sit down, turned his head and looked over in surprise.

But when Li Qian heard the words, he just smiled faintly, patted Xie Mingyuan's hand, and said, "Mr. Xie is too good!" Then he changed the subject lightly: "This place is not easy to find, and we will delay for a long time I kept you waiting." But he didn't answer Xie Mingyuan's words at all.

After swiping, Xie Mingyuan felt a little cold in his heart.

Of course, given Xie Mingyuan's age and the city's government, even if there is some fluctuation in his heart, it will never be seen at a glance. He let go of his hand, smiled, and while giving up his seat, he called the waiter over and asked Li Qian and Liao For Liao Liao's preference, I ordered a pot of Biluochun for Li Qian and himself, and an extra glass of soda for Liao Liao - Liao Liao had just finished recording an album, and it was when his voice was the most tired and sensitive, so he didn't dare to drink green tea Yes, it is easy to stimulate the vocal cords.

Well, after ordering tea, I ordered a few more refreshments. The three of them sat down relative to each other. Xie Mingyuan first asked about Li Qian's exam situation with a smile - for the three of them, this was actually the easiest and easiest Topics that do not require taboo and thinking.

Of course, when talking about Li Qian's admission to the film school, Xie Mingyuan couldn't help but have various thoughts one after another, because Li Qian's reaction was really too strange.

He responded like this, although he had a little flattery, but it was too light?

Is it because I know that I want to lure him into Sony, but in fact I don't want to come, so I put down my attitude as soon as we meet, so that I won't be too kind later and he won't be able to refuse?

Or... Liu Bei, who is a three-point world, is not in his eyes at all?

If that's the case, then he is even more proud than himself!

In fact, before this official meeting, Xie Mingyuan had already started to pay attention to Li Qian when Liao Liao's album was first released. Even when the "Liao Liao" album became popular, other record companies were busy everywhere. When he asked who Li Qian was and what Li Qian's contact information was, with Xie Mingyuan's ability and influence, he had already obtained Li Qian's contact information early on, and it has been seven or eight months so far. As time passed, although Li Qian avoided the music scene, he still had various contacts and interactions with this circle.

He Runqing got "Half Pot of Yarn" from Li Qian through detours through Cao Zhan. He knew the situation clearly, because He Runqing was originally a signed singer of Sony Records, and he personally dug it out. There is some friendship between them.

Li Qian followed Wang Huaiyu to learn suona. As soon as he heard the news from the circle, he immediately called Wang Huaiyu's mobile phone-the two were old classmates and old friends. Disciple Li, this kind of thing doesn't involve any secrets, how can he not talk about it?

Of course, Li Qian helped the little girls in Huage to make albums, even including the contract signed between them, he was almost the first person in this circle to get the exact content except the related people of Huage .

Therefore, after seven or eight months of various understandings, he actually thinks that he already knows Li Qian quite well.

But obviously, the Li Qian he met was a bit different from the Li Qian he had imagined - more modest, but more aloof.

So Xie Mingyuan didn't quite understand.

He smiled and said: "Whether it is me or my old father, I have been in the art circle for many years. Although making music and making movies are two different professions after all, some old friends still have Yes, would you like to invite some old friends out for you to have a meal together?"

Well, although this remark is a bit exaggerated and ostentatious, it can be regarded as a friendly word.

Xie Mingyuan felt that if Li Qian was really aloof, then he would have some resistance in his heart, and after that, there would definitely be a little bit of displeasure between the brows on his face and his words.

But to his surprise, Li Qian just smiled plainly when he heard the words, and said, "I'm just giving it a try. If I really can't pass the exam, forget it. Anyway, I have a bowl of food to eat now, and I don't have to go to college." .”

Xie Mingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly laughed.

That's right, isn't it just a film school? Didn't you see that Li Qian just ignored the visiting professor of the music school who was likely to get it? If he couldn't get into the film school, wouldn't he still be an important figure in the music circle?

It seems a little fussing to ask him about his film school entrance exam so staring at him.

So, he changed the subject and asked Liao Liao, "Feifei's album has been released for two weeks. How is it? Have you heard it? Do you have any comments that I should pass on to Feifei?"

Just at this moment, the waiter brought tea. Although Liao Liao didn't drink tea, she still stood up and poured tea for the two men consciously. After pouring the tea, she returned to her seat and picked up her glass of soda, and then she smiled. Said: "Sister Feifei's albums have always been listened to a hundred times. Her voice alone is enough to fascinate me. What else do I need to comment? Oh, yes, if you have to comment, please help me with Mr. Xie In a word, just say that my sister has been urging me to ask me for an autographed photo of Sister Feifei, hoping she can give me one for me to pay for a job, ah... I can exchange mine with her!"

Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard the words.

This is also in the teahouse. If it were changed to the office, he would probably burst out laughing.

However, this obvious joke shows that Liao Liao has no resistance to Sony Records-this is a good start.

For this kind of thing, of course he agreed. Then, he turned his head to look at Li Qian, and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Young Master Qian?"

If there was only this one sentence, it would be a topic of obvious compliments, and Xie Mingyuan specially invited Li Qian and Liao Liao here, obviously not to let them praise Feng Feifei, even though Feng Feifei is a very important singer under Sony.

So at this time, without waiting for Li Qian's answer, he sighed again, and asked himself the answer: "It's a pity, Feifei is already in decline!"

Liao Liao was surprised when he heard the words, but Li Qian even smiled and said: "Mr. Xie expresses his emotion for no reason. Feng Feifei's album was directly listed in the top five sales rankings of Dongguan Bookstore as soon as it was released. This is also true. Calling the rivers and rivers going down?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said: "From the songs you wrote to the record you made, I can clearly know that you are a rare person in this circle who understands, but I don't think I am confused. Why, does Young Master Qian feel that some things are inconvenient to say?"

After a pause, he didn't wait for Li Qian's answer again, and said to himself: "Zhen Zhen, Run Qing, Fei Fei and Zhou Mo are recognized as the four queens of the domestic music scene in the past ten years. This is true, but In the next ten years, Zhenzhen, Runqing and Feifei will definitely fall behind gradually. Again, the times are changing and the market is changing. The economy of our country is getting better and better. Music fans are getting richer and richer, so the market capacity will definitely continue to grow. However, with the improvement of living standards and more and more integration with foreign cultures, the feelings of family and country, and some majestic However, it is destined to be replaced by themes such as personal emotions and personal life! So... the future of this market belongs to Zhou Mo and Liao Liao, and their urban love songs will be the mainstream of the market in the future— —How does Qian Shao think what I said?"

Seeing what Xie Mingyuan said, Liao Liao couldn't help but look at Li Qian with concern.

But Li Qian was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea from his cup, and finally nodded slowly.

This is really an unavoidable topic in the current music scene, that is, a new era has really come.

Although Zhen Zhen once led an era, sang the strongest voice for female singers, and greatly improved the status of female singers in the market and society, but as Xie Mingyuan said, with the development of the times, more and more Personalized emotional expression is the mainstream of the entire society, and will naturally be the main direction of future music development. Therefore, Zhen Zhen's slow, generous, and lyrical approach is destined to go further and further in the future market. narrower.

Of course, the narrower and narrower it is, it does not mean that there will be no market, but that it will become smaller and smaller.

Similar to her situation, there are He Runqing, the queen of sweet songs who has been singing sweet songs all the way to the present, and Feng Feifei, who has a mixed way, although he mainly focuses on folk songs, but also takes folk songs and love songs.

Of course, unlike Zhen Zhen and He Runqing, Feng Feifei has been in Sony Records since his debut. With the help of Sony Records' strong contacts and reputation, Feng Feifei has been the most famous singer of theme songs for film and television dramas in China for the past ten years. Add it all together, although no one has counted it specifically, but it is said that the theme songs and episodes of film and television dramas she has sung total more than 200 songs-basically as long as you turn on the TV and turn through the channels, at least one of them The theme song of the TV series was sung by Feng Feifei.

Based on this, no matter how the market changes, as long as Sony continues to support her, she will at least be able to keep her title of "Golden Song Queen" above her head from being snatched away.
