Chapter 321 Just for Fun?

Huage Records, audition room.

When the last song ended, Huang Dazhong rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Du Xiaoming, saw that his eyes were still closed, looking intoxicated, he couldn't help feeling another block in his heart, but he still reached out to touch him helplessly.

Du Xiaoming opened his eyes and looked at him, Huang Dazhong looked at him, thought for a while, stood up, faced everyone in the audition room, and said: "After listening, this is the big four that Li Qian personally came out with." The first album of the Beauty Band, you are all experts, let’s talk about it, let’s talk about it, what do you think of his album?”

No one spoke.

Not to mention the senior management of Huage Records in this audition room, even outside, they all know the extreme disharmony between their boss and Li Qian. At this time, let them evaluate Li Qian's things, how should they evaluate?

Of course you can't boast!

Isn't that looking for trouble? To offend the boss because of someone else's album is at least to make the boss unhappy, so why bother? Can't do it, right?

But... If you don't boast, then you have nothing to say!

So, facing Huang Dazhong's scrutinizing eyes, everyone turned their eyes away or lowered their heads one after another.

After a while, Huang Dazhong could only look away helplessly, looked at Du Xiaoming, and said helplessly, "Old Du, tell me?"

With a swipe, everyone turned to look at Du Xiaoming.

Regardless of whether you are convinced or not, at least at the moment, everyone has to admit that Du Xiaoming is the company's top knife in music affairs, and he can probably be regarded as the most qualified and level person in Huage Records to evaluate this album .

Moreover, everyone knows that Du Xiaoming is an avid rock fan!

When he was young, he even went on the road alone, following in the footsteps of the Flying Band's national tour, and spent seven months accompanying them all over China!

Facing Huang Dazhong's gaze, Du Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and said, "I... have nothing to say!"

Huang Dazhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly became a little emotional. He questioned: "What do you mean there is nothing to say? Good or bad? What is your judgment on its market prospects? How can there be nothing to say?"

Du Xiaoming nodded when he heard the words, and then, unexpectedly, he stood up, following Huang Dazhong's example, and looked at the senior executives of Huage Records on the seats behind him.

Then, he called the names directly and asked, "Old Chen, do you think it's okay?"

When Lao Chen was named, he hesitated for a moment, with a tangled expression on his face, but in the end, he nodded and said frankly: "To be honest, in my opinion, height, depth, breadth, popularity, We have them all. Whether it is from an artistic point of view, a technical point of view, or a commercial point of view, this album... how should I put it, anyway, in my opinion, even when the Flying Band was at its peak, That’s how it was at the time of “Driving a Pig West”!”

This evaluation is exceptionally high.

When Huang Dazhong heard the words, he immediately looked worried, but Du Xiaoming was extremely calm, as if he was not surprised at all.

But then, he looked at the other person, and said again: "Fourth, tell me?"

The fourth child who was named also hesitated when he heard the words, and then said "Hi", "Okay, let me talk. I said... Hey, what else can I say? Isn't Lao Chen finished? Just That's what he said!"

After a pause, he said again: "Li Qian, this kid...is the same as before, all I can say is, since he made "Sister and Sister Stand Up" for Wu Xing Wu Su, he has been like this, with all kinds of styles. Mix it together for you, but he has those things in his mind! You can’t play with ordinary people, but he can come up with all kinds of good things and put them all into an album for you! This time, he still plays pretty!"

After thinking for a while, he said again: "I just... how should I put it, I only listened to it once, and I'm not familiar with it yet, but in my opinion, this album should probably be divided into three or four by him. In short, the ten songs in an album have a very clear division of labor! Some are responsible for carrying the flag, promoting word of mouth, and some are responsible for promoting sales and hitting the charts!"

"In short, it's still the same sentence. What Old Chen said is reasonable. This album needs depth, depth, height, and sales...I guess it's not far behind! It should be according to the current domestic record. If you calculate it based on the popularity of the market, and consider that this kid has always been gossip-ridden and has a lot of attention... I guess, five million! At least five million, this album can be regarded as meeting the threshold! "

Huang Dazhong's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.

Du Xiaoming didn't call the third person's name, but turned to look at Huang Dazhong.

The two looked at each other, and he spread his hands together, saying: "Although we are now in a hostile relationship with that side, but as a musician, I still have to say, I love this album."

Huang Dazhong pursed his lips.

However, after a pause, Du Xiaoming continued: "Forget about foreign countries, the music environment is different, and the social background is also different. As far as China is concerned, the status of the Four Great Beauty Bands in my heart is already second only to the Flying Band. !"

Speaking of this, he smiled helplessly for the first time, and then said: "As for the others, evaluation, sales, etc., my opinion is similar to that of Lao Chen and Lao Si. It's just that I am better than Lao Chen in terms of sales. Four is a little pessimistic, I think that when it reaches four million copies, this album has almost reached the count, and it has reached the threshold."

After a pause, he said with emotion: "Rock music has been on the decline for many years. Although we all know that the pirated versions of "Nothing" and "A Place to Shame" are very popular, I still can't be sure what the current domestic fans are. What kind of results will this album give. And everyone knows that I am a rock fan, so... I am more pessimistic about rock works and albums."

Hearing the words, Huang Dazhong took a deep breath, nodded slowly, his face paled slightly.

But... four million, especially for a rock album, if it can really sell for four million, that would be scary enough!

Thinking of this, Huang Dazhong couldn't help but sighed again.

Then, he waved his hand and was about to say "let's go", but Du Xiaoming suddenly said, "Boss Huang, even if it's four million, I think it's enough to spark a rock craze. Shall we..."

Huang Dazhong immediately turned his head to look at him, shaking his head like a rattle, "Don't even think about it!"

After a pause, maybe because he felt that his attitude was too strong, he quickly explained: "He is Li Qian!"

There were only four words in this sentence, but he spoke it in a cadence and ups and downs!

However, for the rich meaning contained in these four words, everyone present almost understood it in seconds!

Yes, he is Li Qian!

Just because he can play, doesn't mean we can too!

The same is rock and roll, people can play three to four million, or even four to five million in sales, but if we follow suit, we may just hit it!

Therefore, Mr. Huang's meaning is very clear: it's okay if you can't take advantage of him, at least you can't let him be taken into the pit!

Du Xiaoming, who also understood in seconds, heard the words, although he nodded at Huang Dazhong and forced a smile, the brilliance in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Is Mr. Huang now so evasive of snakes and scorpions? He's so afraid of him?"

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sighed, and thought helplessly, "Maybe this is another kind of acknowledgment to Li Qian? Well, yes, fear, helplessness, of course it's an acknowledgment!"

... ... ...

Almost at the same time, in the audition room of Sony Records, when the last note of "Good Night, Jinan" fell, Xie Mingyuan raised his hand, turned off the player, and exchanged glances with Watanabe. The two nodded knowingly, and then They stood up one after another, turned to look at the executives of Sony Records and the singers behind them.

But at this time, before the two of them could say anything, they saw that Zhou Mo had adjusted her clothes and stood up. Seeing that, she was about to leave.

Xie Mingyuan and Watanabe looked at each other, and Xie Mingyuan couldn't help but said: "Mom, wait! How about giving a review before leaving? You should have heard this album a long time ago, right?"

With a swipe, everyone turned their heads to look at Zhou Mo who stood out of the crowd.

Even Zou Wenhuai, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help looking up at her curiously at this moment.

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I haven't heard it, and it's the first time I heard it. We agreed that work is work and life is life. If it was his own album, he might take it back. Let me hear it first, but this is their band's album, of course I can't hear it in advance."

After a pause, she shrugged her shoulders and said casually: "As for the evaluation... Do I still speak ill of him?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Yes, do you still expect Zhou Mo to say that Li Qian is not good?

Xie Mingyuan also laughed at that time, but before he could speak, Zhou Mo continued: "Of course, what I said is not what you think. I won't speak ill of him because In my heart, his music has always been like this..." While speaking, she raised her thumb high and proudly said: "absolutely number one in the world!"

Many people laughed kindly again.

Of course, no one refuted.

In fact, no one is qualified to refute anything.

Even Xie Mingyuan just smiled when he heard the words, shrugged helplessly, and then nodded again.

At this time, Zhou Mo had already left her seat, and walked out as if there was no one else around, and said, "Then I'm leaving!"

After thinking about it, Xie Mingyuan suddenly called out to her again, "Mom..." When she stopped and turned around, he asked, "Do you think your own music is not as good as his?"

Zhou Mo frowned, then shrugged naturally, "Of course!"

Xie Mingyuan was speechless.

Zhou Mo's arrogance is well known in the entire singing world. Although Xie Mingyuan probably guessed that she would answer this way before asking this question, he never expected that she would answer so simply, so naturally, and so unquestionably.

But after a pause, she thought about it, then suddenly smiled and said, "But, besides him, I am second in the world!"

After finishing speaking, she smiled again, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

The room was silent.

You know, others won't talk about it, at least Zhao Xinfu is sitting in this room!

However, Zhou Mo actually said it so directly, "Li Qian is number one in the world, and I am number two in the world!"

So after watching Zhou Mo leave in such a floating manner, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xinfu Zhao—Xinfu Zhao smiled awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Li Qian...is indeed very powerful!"

Unlike Zhou Mo's acknowledged low EQ and being cold and arrogant, Zhao Xinfu has always been well-known in the circle no matter how he behaves, and he belongs to the category with a particularly high EQ.

Xie Mingyuan smiled when he heard the words, turned his head and looked at Kazuo Watanabe, then sighed, and said: "Okay, I've finished listening, and I think everyone knows the evaluation, so I won't ask. Come on, what should we do! As for the sales of this album, let's stop guessing and wait and see the results!"

... ... ...

That's what he said, but after returning to his office, Xie Mingyuan still couldn't hold back, picked up the phone, and dialed out.

Li Qian was in the rehearsal room at that time, and the rehearsal and recording of He Runqing's new album were in full swing.

Huang Wenjuan knocked on the door carefully, and opened the door after getting the answer from inside. Seeing that the three people were all looking back at her, she shook her phone in embarrassment and said, "Brother, Mr. Xie from Sony is calling you. Hang up, he said he would call back later, and said he had something to talk to you about."

In the current situation of Minghu Culture, Huang Wenjuan, as the little sister who started with Liao Liao, has been greatly reused. Up to now, besides Sun Meimei and Liu Mei, the brokerage department of the entire Minghu Culture is counting on her. She's not yet a deputy manager, but everyone regards her as the third person in the brokerage department.

There was no other reason. As the general manager, Qi Jie was too busy to take care of Li Qian's management affairs. In addition, considering that Li Qian and Liao Liao wore a pair of pants or not, Huang Wenjuan It is much more convenient than others, so now the little girl is taking care of both Li Qian and Liao Liao's brokerage affairs.

In the current situation, when Li Qian or Liao Liao were about to enter the rehearsal room or recording studio, they would hand over their mobile phones to her for safekeeping.

At this time, she opened the door and walked over, handed the phone to Li Qian, and asked, "Why don't I hold it for you and call you later?"

"Mr. Xie?" Li Qian was thinking about why Xie Mingyuan called suddenly. Hearing this, he raised his head, shook his head and said, "No, let's put it here first. It's not a recording studio anyway."

After a pause, he saw Huang Wenjuan promised to go out, so he stopped her again and asked, "Did he say anything?"

Huang Wenjuan shook her head, "I didn't say anything."

At this time, Liao Liao suddenly interrupted, saying: "Call me at this time, why not talk about it, it must be related to "Fake Monk"!"

Li Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed, and patted his forehead, "I forgot! Today is the release of "Fake Monk", right?" Then he nodded himself, "That's right!"

While talking, the phone rang suddenly.

Li Qian took a look and said with a smile, "It's him!" Then he pressed the answer button, got up and walked out.

"Hello, Mr. Xie."

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan said in a loud voice, "I've listened to "Fake Monk". I just finished listening to it. It's great!"

Li Qian laughed, took it to the door casually, walked towards his office, and said with a smile: "Thank you." After a pause, he added: "You called just to compliment me?"

Xie Mingyuan laughed twice, and said, "I want to follow your style and make two rock and roll albums. What do you think?"

Li Qian was surprised when he heard this, and immediately laughed, "Hey, my colleagues are enemies, you ask me this question?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled indifferently when he heard the words: "You and Hua Ge are colleagues or enemies, but Sony is not. The two of us are not. Am I wrong?"

Li Qian stopped in his tracks when he heard the words, and couldn't help laughing, "Success! You are right, I can't say that we are also enemies, right? But... it's not impossible to do rock and roll, but I personally think it's better to be a little more cautious .Of course, if you think you can do a good job, then say something else. A good thing is always a good thing, and you are not afraid that it will not sell!"

Xie Mingyuan pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and nodded slowly on the other end of the phone, "It makes sense. That's fine. Let's wait for you to sell it first, and see the market's reaction when the time comes, and we'll make a decision."

Li Qian gave a "hmm" and said immediately: "What to do, you can still do it, maybe it's not easy to make a lot of money, but in this year's rock and roll, if you don't lose money, you can earn it, right? The right is to make a fortune for rock and roll Work hard! Besides, your Sony family has a big business, even if you lose money, it’s not unstoppable! Only when everyone is doing it, will there be more good works, and this market, the rock market, will be more popular. Right?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan nodded again when he heard the words, and said "um".

After a while, he smiled and said: "I understand what you mean. I won't talk about it for now. I'll hold a meeting later and discuss it first. But you have some doubts about the prospects of this album." Are you sure? Is this your official debut?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, "Official debut? No, it's just the Four Great Beauties who debuted! You know the reason. Didn't I tell you the last time I had dinner? I just talked about it with Brother Cao and the others. On a whim, everyone formed a band to have fun. You know, we even have a director in this band! It’s just for fun!”

He said it easily, but he didn't know that Xie Mingyuan on the other end of the phone had a serious expression on his face.

After a while, he hesitated and asked: "So, next, you will release an album yourself?"

Li Qian was surprised when he heard the words, and asked back: "Yes, why not?"

But after a pause, he said again: "Of course, let's see. I'm not sure yet. I can only say that maybe one day, I suddenly want to release an album, so let's do it."

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan nodded with a serious expression, and said slowly: "Yes, I understand."

... ... ...

After hanging up the phone, Xie Mingyuan rubbed his brows in distress.

Then, he casually grabbed a piece of paper, took out a pen, and wrote on the paper: Zhao Xinfu, Zhou Mo, Feng Feifei.

After thinking about it, I added a few more names after Feng Feifei: Zhen Zhen, Hu Yang, Huang Yuqing. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he added another one: Sima Duoduo. But after thinking about it, he rowed away again.

Then, under the names of Hu Yang and Huang Yuqing, he put a question mark respectively.

Then, he started another line and wrote down a few names correspondingly: Liao Liao, He Runqing, Four Great Beauties, Rose Power. After thinking about it, add Li Qian.

Of course, a question mark soon appeared under Li Qian's name.

Holding a pen, he measured it, the pen tip dangling on one name after another.

As a result, the more shaken he was, the tighter his frown became.

"It's just for fun?" He shook his head and laughed "hehe", "Is this just for fun?"

After a pause, he picked up the pen, drew a circle on Li Qian's name, and circled his entire name, then the tip of the pen paused twice again, and he couldn't help but sighed.
