Chapter 227 Who Will Sing "Dark Fragrance"?

After the song "The Great River Goes East", Qi Jie didn't speak, but just sat there with a smile on her face.

Lu Ruoying turned her head and glanced at Qi Jie. Seeing her expression, she knew that there were more.

To be honest, even though what she heard just now was just a sample song, it has to be said that the grandeur and softness of this song touched her at the very first moment - Liao Liao's singing, of course, was not worth it. Said, the most important thing is that this word, this song, and the certain unique temperament contained in this whole song are so perfect for "Love in a Troubled World"!

When listening to the song, she didn't wait for Liao Liao to finish singing the first time, just when she heard the climax of the B section, Lu Ruoying had already decided that this song must be included!

Then, she heard the second song!

When the piano started, there was another familiar voice.

She sighed casually along with the piano and sang: "The south wind brings coolness, and the nightingales sing together..."

Lu Ruoying frowned suddenly, and immediately let go.

... ... ...

After both songs were played, Qi Jie turned her head to signal to Lu Ruoying's secretary, the little secretary understood, walked over and turned off the recorder with a "snap".

But at this time, Lu Ruoying was leaning on the back of the sofa, narrowing her eyes slightly.

The level is the "pop", which means that all the works Qi Jie brought this time have been played, and she has not opened her eyes.

Qi Jie looked at her, and after a while, said tentatively, "Director Lu, please watch these two songs..."

Lu Ruoying opened her eyes, smiled and did not answer the question: "These two songs were sung by Liao Liao and He Runqing respectively, right?"

Qi Jie nodded and said, "Yes, the first song is called "The Great River Going East" and it was sung by Liao Liao, and the second song is called "Evening Fragrance" and it was sung by He Runqing. Are you satisfied?"

Lu Ruoying still didn't answer, but just smiled and said: "The strength of your studio is very strong!" After a pause, she smiled and said: "It's just that our funds are limited, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to pay for the price. Totally satisfied..."

... ... ...

Qi Jie, who had been suppressing herself all this time, waited until she walked out of the building of Huaxia TV Station, and then she couldn't help but suddenly clenched her fist and swung it fiercely, "Yeah!"

600000!

Since the establishment of Li Qian's studio, it was Qi Jie's first business as the studio's general manager, and the deal was completed!

It has to be said that at this moment, the sullen breath that has been pent up for half a year seems to be finally vented to its heart's content!

... ... ...

As Qi Jie returned to the studio with a smile on her face, the news that the soundtrack of the TV series "Love in Troubled Times" had been taken down spread like wind throughout Li Qian's studio.

However, when the atmosphere in the whole studio was good, many people in Li Qian's music director's office, including Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei and others, frowned slightly.

The reason is very simple. Although the business has been won, and the price is not too high, it is not too low after all. For Li Qian's studio, at least this single business should be profitable, which can be regarded as Not a bad start. But... the other party's request that Qi Jie brought back was three songs!

The other party appreciates "The Great River Going East", and said that it can be used as the opening song, that is, the theme song. At the same time, it is also the keynote of the soundtrack for the main theme and plot of the soundtrack of the entire TV series.

The other party also appreciates "Evening Fragrance" very much, and thinks it can be an episode, and even wants to re-shoot some scenes based on this song, cut this song directly into the story, and directly change the version sung by He Runqing. It is a work of a singer in the Republic of China era. For this reason, the other party asked Li Qian's studio to record an additional special version.

However, "Love in a Troubled World" is a heroic drama after all!

Even if there are large-scale love scenes in the play, it is still the hero who is in love!

So, how can there be no man's voice in the theme song and episode of the whole TV series?

In this regard, the other party's request is very clear, or, "The Great River Going East" will be sung by male voices, but the effect must not be worse than the demo version of Liao Liao's version. If this is the case, the other party promises to give 500,000! Or, Li Qian's studio must come up with a new song, and must make a demo, and give it to the other party for approval after listening to it. Will be out to 600,000!

At that time, Qi Jie almost didn't even think about it, so she agreed directly: We will give all three songs, and we want 600,000!

The thing is obvious, with Li Qian here, will we still be short of a song?

Moreover, without even thinking about it, Qi Jie subconsciously felt that as long as Li Qian's work can pass Ruoying's level, it will be absolutely fine!

You don't see that many major record companies are vying for the soundtrack of "Love in a Troubled World", but in the end, the demos they made were all killed by Lu Ruoying without exception, but Li Qian went from writing songs to teaching singing to recording It only took a day to produce the demo, and then...Lu Ruoying was instantly killed by his work!

But the problem is that Qi Jie didn't know if she was too excited at the time. She completely forgot one thing, that is, although Li Qian could easily come up with a new song with a very high standard, Li Qian's studio has so far , but not even a male singer!

Of course, if there is no male singer, you can go out to other record companies to borrow people. Other companies are hard to say, such as Zhou Ye, such as the singers from Changsheng Records. thing. Moreover, like this situation where only one song is recorded and used as the theme song for a film and television drama, the industry has long established a practice. It only needs to pay the singer a recording fee. The song does not need to be authorized to the other party, and the other party naturally cannot take it With this song, I will make an album and commercial performance.

But the problem is, when Qi Jie came back with such news, before anyone from the production department got the news and rushed over, Li Qian pulled a piece of paper to scribble and start writing songs, and then waited for Li Jinlong, Liao Liao, etc. People came, and his song was finished.

The statement announced to everyone is that I wrote this song last year, and I feel that it is not suitable for Liao Liao, nor is it suitable for the five elements and my principles, so I have never released it. Of course, Liao Liao, the only one who knew the inside story, was I understand in seconds.

Back then, uh, no, even now, Li Qian's two big notebooks still weighed on her heart like a shadow, Li Qian tore one song after another, It was one of the things that shocked her the most so far, how could she forget?

In her heart, Li Qian's two big notebooks are simply the big pockets of the Tathagata Buddha, and she can take out whatever she wants!

Then, Li Qian's "new work" will naturally be shown to everyone.

This song is called "Dark Fragrance".

It's not the kind of song that obviously picks the singer, especially when it comes to the gender of the singer, it's not picky at all. However, experts such as Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Li Jinlong, after reading it, can't help feeling: This song seems to be not challenging, but in fact, it should be quite challenging for the singer's singing skills!

Ordinary singers may not be able to sing this song well!

Of course, this is not a problem. There are so many singers with good singing skills in the domestic music scene, and it is definitely not a problem if they really have to spend money to hire someone. But the problem is, after listening to the other party's request and watching this work, everyone said: Isn't it a bit too wasteful to give such a good song to outsiders?

There is no doubt that whether it is Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei, or Liao Liao, He Runqing, after watching this song, they almost unanimously agree that this is definitely a golden song level work!

Therefore, once such a song is sung by other male singers, of course, the other party cannot include it in his own album, but Li Qian's studio can combine Liao Liao's "Great River to the East" and He Runqing's "Night Comes" "Incense", plus this song, they are made into a small disc and sold together, but once the song becomes popular, after all, isn't it cheaper for others?

But, once such a song is broadcast along with the TV series, is it possible that it will not be popular?

In this regard, Li Jinlong suggested, "Or, our studio considers signing a newcomer?"

This is a way to keep the fat and water out of the field—but, although there are many young people waiting to make their debut in the domestic music scene, and some of them still have some singing skills, the reason why no record company is willing to sign is largely in fact It's just that everyone's judgment on the development speed of the music industry has been biased in the past. Now, it is estimated that many record companies have already started to play with these people after seeing the current prosperity of the record industry, but you have to admit that these singers are After all these years of being in the underground music circle but not getting ahead, there is still a reason behind it.

Therefore, even if Li Qian's studio temporarily signed a male singer out of the consideration of not letting the money go to outsiders, there are doubts about whether the other party can really control the song "Dark Fragrance". And even if the other party sang, they sang very well, but for Li Qian's studio right now, even the two big cards in his hand, Liao Liao and He Runqing, have not yet been played. Is it really necessary to sign a newcomer?

So without waiting for others to speak, Sun Meimei, Li Jinlong's old friend, was the first to stand up and express her opposition, "Next year our studio will definitely focus on producing two discs by Liao Liao and Runqing. At this time, for a song Just signing a newcomer, instead of disrupting the plan all of a sudden, I don't think it's appropriate!"

Li Jinlong thought for a while and had to nod in agreement.

So, everyone frowned.

At this time, just when Li Qian was hesitating to think about whether to change to a simpler and more popular work, at least not to make everyone feel so distressed, he just looked up and saw the only one in the office who was not frowning. People - Liao Liao.

Seeing Li Qian's eyes swept over and landed on him, Liao Liao winked provocatively.

Li Qian smiled and looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Liao Liaohun said indifferently: "What kind of male singer, why go out to find someone, why sign a newcomer, tell me, it's not necessary! We have a male singer in our studio now! And what is certain is that his strength and The singing skills are all top-notch! If he comes to sing this song, he can definitely master this song to perfection!"

Before anyone else could react, Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head - at this moment, he suddenly understood why Liao Liao had such a provocative look just now.

From the time when Liao Liao was still at Changsheng Records, when the two of them worked together on Liao Liao's second album "The Sound of the Waves Still", Liao Liao kept muttering that he wanted to sing a song with Li Qian. But at that time, Li Qian refused to agree to it life and death, insisting that he hadn't practiced his singing skills yet, and he had no face to sing with Liao Liao.

And when Liao Liao's contract with Changsheng Records expired and she moved to Li Qian's studio, seeing that her third album was about to start preparations, and Li Qian really produced a few songs, Liao Liao chased after Li Qian again Start grinding, "Let's sing a song together, sing a song together, sing a song together..."

Li Qian continued to carry on, resolutely refusing to agree to give his voice!

But now, Liao Liao actually seized the opportunity and brought up this topic again!

At this time, even though they were one step behind Li Qian, the other people in the office gradually came to their senses, so everyone couldn't help turning their heads to look at Li Qian.

Even Qi Jie, a layman, looked forward to it.

For Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei, either they have worked with Li Qian, or they have long known Li Qian's extraordinary creative ability, but in fact, they have never heard Li Qian sing, so although Liao Liao's words After a while, they realized that Liao Liao was pointing his sword at Li Qian, but when he looked at Li Qian, there was a three-point hesitation in anticipation—of course, with their IQs, even if they were killed I won't tear down the boss' desk at this time.

Apart from the two of them, Qi Jie, He Runqing, and Liao Liao were obviously fans of Li Qian.

For Qi Jie, the most unforgettable song in her life was sung to her by Li Qian! That heart-piercing song, which hit her soul directly, also made her suddenly realize that "Little Bird" is what she is today, and it is still unforgettable for her!

As for He Runqing, although the only piece of Li Qian's work she has heard is a slightly weird Chinese-style rap, besides that, she only heard Li Qian when she was recording Wu Xing Wu Su. Occasionally taught him to sing a few lines, but she also quite recognized Li Qian's singing skills.

It's hard to say that the world is invincible, but at least, when he comes to sing the songs he wrote, he will definitely not be worse than anyone else!

As for Liao Liao, let alone!

For her now, coercing Li Qian to sing with her and letting Li Qian start to make his voice in front of fans is simply her greatest pleasure and pursuit now!

At this time, seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Li Qian smiled wryly and waved his hands, "Don't look at me, I don't sing! It's good to live an ordinary life like this, I don't want to be famous or something!"

Hearing what he said, others don't have much to persuade, but Qi Jie couldn't help but said: "You just sing, you sing so well, and it happens that our studio lacks male singers, so you can record one, okay? "

Li Qian's head shook like a rattle!

Liao Liao sneered and looked at him narrowly, "Hey, you can only see beautiful women in your eyes, so you won't sign any male singers. Anyway, as the studio's deputy music director, I recommend Li Qian to sing! "

Hearing this, Li Qian's head was full of black lines.

Just at this moment, He Runqing lowered her head and smiled when she heard the words, and then she turned to look at Liao Liao, and when they met, she quickly raised her hands like a primary school student, "I agree with Deputy Director Liao's suggestion!"

Qi Jie also raised her hand pretendingly, suppressed a smile, and said, "Agreed!"

Li Qian's mouth twitched.

At this time, Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei looked at each other, and Sun Meimei smiled and said: "Chat with Runqing, chat with Liao Liao, they all praise Mr. Li for your singing skills, but I haven't heard of it yet. Or, do you really want to play a song?" While speaking, she and Li Jinlong looked at each other again, and raised their hands with a smile, "I agree too!"

Li Qian curled his lips and turned to look at Li Jinlong.

And Li Jinlong raised his hand without hesitation, and said with a smile, "I agree too!"

Li Qian raised his hand helplessly and rubbed his brows.
