Chapter 347 Our Boss Is Very DIAO!
Monday, May 29.
The second week of the record battle between Liao Liao and Zhou Mo has just passed, and Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings for the previous week will be announced. Normally, this morning, whether it is for major record companies, various singers, or for For the entertainment reporters of countless media across the country, this is what they should focus on.
However, today, with a series of shocking gossip spreading rapidly at the speed of viral spread, the music scene is rapidly stirred up.
The major record companies were in a state of panic, and the reporters of the major newspapers and media were moved upon hearing the news.
Sony's strength is well known. Since the domestic music industry liberalized the policy, this Sino-Japanese joint venture record company has rapidly grown into a leading large-scale record company in China. And until today, it is still a giant that no one can surpass in the domestic music scene. First there was Xinda, then there was Huage, and recently there was Minghu Culture. Although they are all powerful, they have always been in the position of pursuers and failed to achieve success.
With such a position in the industry, it can be said that any move by Sony Records will attract the attention of the entire music world, not to mention, the gossip this time is still so amazing!
Zhen Zhen, Zhou Mo, Huang Yuqing, Zhou Feng... One after another, famous singers were involved. There was a queen of music, a prince of love songs, and a potential front line. It was rumored that they would all sign a contract in the near future. , or renew Sony!
This is definitely news like an earthquake!
It is said that at 8 o'clock in the morning, before the major companies officially went to work, the office address of Sony Records was completely surrounded by as many as hundreds of reporters.
And the mobile phone numbers of many celebrities involved in this matter, which were disclosed to the public, were harassed by the reporters before nine o'clock, and they were forced to shut down their phones to escape.
In the midst of such chaos, at a quarter past ten in the morning, Li Qian drove his off-road vehicle to the company.
The atmosphere in the company is fairly stable.
Qi Jie was walking around in the office area. From the looks of it, she seemed to be showing her calmness and tranquility to the staff, and was trying to suppress the slightly gossip and flustered atmosphere in the company by sitting in person.
But when Li Qian walked in, the receptionist stood up and called out "President Li", but she immediately looked up at the sound.
And I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked up at the first time.
The panic and bewilderment in Qi Jie's eyes, and the excitement, apprehension, and panic on the faces of so many company employees are so obvious that they can't be concealed—in fact, what Li Qian understands is that although the company has never put "catching up with Sony", Slogans like "Beyond Sony" are on the lips, but everyone knows that although the company is small, every signed singer is a big star. Both record companies and Cinda are left behind, and there is only one Sony left in front of them. It is of course the consensus of every employee in the company to catch up with him and surpass him.
And just today, just as the entire company was smugly preparing to formally challenge the dominance of the domestic music scene with carefully crafted records one after another, trying to pull down Sony, a giant, Sony suddenly broke out.
Zhen Zhen, Huang Yuqing, Zhou Feng, and even Zhou Mo, and even other big names in the music world who may not have been disclosed, once Sony explodes, it will immediately come fiercely!
At present, the group of people in Minghu Culture, from general manager Qi Jie to ordinary staff, copywriters, front desks, drivers, etc., have all joined the company in the past one or two years. A period of work experience in other record companies, but most of them are absolute newcomers to the record industry.
Although under the leadership of Qi Jie, they have created the current Minghu culture from scratch, but they have never experienced such a huge change in the industry, so they will be apprehensive and confused when they encounter a huge change. .
Li Qian was dressed casually, nodded and smiled at the little girl at the front desk in a leisurely manner, but did not stop on his feet, and walked straight to the office area - the corner of his eye, and the sixth sense that humans are born with, Let him know clearly that when he walks this way, many people's eyes are chasing after him.
Qi Jie greeted her.
She wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, but she just said: "Liao Liao is practicing singing. The sales list is probably... coming out soon?"
Li Qian smiled.
While speaking, Huang Wenjuan happened to push the door out of the second office in the corridor, holding a stack of papers in her hand.
Seeing Li Qian and Qi Jie standing in the office area, she froze for a moment, then subconsciously stopped, wondering if she should go over.
Li Qian smiled and waved at her.
Huang Wenjuan walked over quickly, handed over the information in her hand, and said, "Brother, the ranking list is out."
Li Qian took it casually, glanced at it, and turned around with a smile.
Countless eyes quickly avoided, and many people lowered their heads, pretending to be working hard.
Li Qian thought for a while, and said loudly: "What's wrong? Just a little gossip scares everyone like this? Isn't it so?"
No one answered.
However, many people boldly raised their heads and looked at their big boss.
It seemed that he wanted to see more things from Li Qian's expression.
There was a click of the door lock, and someone pushed the door out of a lounge in the corridor. Qi Jie turned her head to look, and saw that it was Zhuang Meiyue. Li Qian also turned his head and saw her more than twenty meters away, smiled and waved to her.
Zhuang Meiyue seemed to turn around and say something to the person inside the door, and then walked over quickly.
A moment later, He Runqing also opened the door and came over.
At this time, Li Qian had already continued: "Spending a lot of money to poach people is a very simple and easy thing to do. But I have always disdain to do that. Frankly speaking, the head of Sony, Xie Mingyuan Mr. Xie has always disdained to do this. He cares more about the return on investment than I do. But, obviously, Sony has already sensed the crisis. This crisis is the pressure we put on Sony! So, everyone has heard It’s over, Sony has exploded, and it’s poaching people with a lot of money!”
After a pause, he turned his head and saw Zhuang Meiyue, He Runqing, Ge Rilen and others standing at the entrance of the corridor, so he smiled at them, and then continued: "It sounds scary at first glance! Zhen Zhen It should have been taken down, and Zhou Feng is about the same. It is estimated that Huang Yuqing's side should also have been taken down. Oh, yes, and Zhou Mo, Sony directly offered 50 million yuan for 30 songs Buyout at a high price...I am not willing to give her this price!"
Someone laughed lowly.
But more people are still like How Runqing, with faint smiles on their faces.
Having said that, Li Qian looked back at He Runqing, and suddenly asked, "Where is Sister Liu Mei? Have you received the offer?"
He Runqing thought for a while, although it seemed that this was not something that should be discussed publicly, but since Li Qian asked in front of so many people, she still decided to tell the truth, nodded immediately, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Watanabe and Mr. Yi called me personally, just like Zhou Mo, 30 songs, 50 million."
Li Qian shrugged, "Sony is really rich!" He smiled and asked He Runqing, "Have you moved yet?"
He Runqing smiled lightly, and then said: "I'm excited...not really, I just thought, now it's all right, maybe my boss will give me a salary increase! Or let me directly get the promotion to exceed this price! "
Many people laughed, and Li Qian laughed even more.
After laughing, he looked down at the sales chart in his hand again, then looked away, shook the thin sheets of paper in his hand, and said proudly: ""Women's Flower" ranked first, 42863 copies, "Witch's Tears" "Second place, 33168!"
After a pause, he handed the sales chart in his hand to Qi Jie, with arrogant eyes, and pointed at Zhuang Meiyue, "Zhen Zhen is an absolute big sister in the music industry, I personally respect her very much, but I think, if everyone Release an album, this girl, Zhuang Meiyue, her album, a newcomer, her first album, you can directly compete with Sister Zhenzhen!"
Speaking of this, he saw countless people showing surprised expressions, and when he turned around, he saw that even Zhuang Meiyue herself was surprised, so he smiled again and said: "Besides, Zhuang Meiyue will win! I promise !"
Countless people looked at Li Qian in surprise, and after a while, they all looked at Zhuang Meiyue in surprise.
At this moment, Zhuang Meiyue had a complicated expression on her face.
If anyone else said this, saying that her first album as a rookie could directly compete with the queen of the music industry, Zhen Zhen, and that she could win with confidence, she would not believe it, and no one would believe it, but unfortunately, this statement came from Li Qian's mouth, but it is naturally beyond doubt - he has done it many times!
Therefore, she was a little surprised, a little confused, and a little surprised.
Li Qian said that, and he said it in public, so doesn't that mean... his new album is bound to be a hit?
At this moment, many employees of Minghu Culture had complicated expressions.
Ever since he entered this company, and since he met the big boss Li Qian for the first time, everyone has known about his legend and the miracles he has created one after another in the music world. However, he has always been extremely low-key. of. In the company and in front of the media, he has always given people the impression of a handsome, slightly silent big boy.
Basically, he has never been like the big boss who everyone imagined must be young and frivolous, a big genius!
But today, for the first time, the unbridled aura on his body was clearly revealed!
For the first time, he became so arrogant, so confident, and so domineering.
However, his arrogance gradually calmed down everyone's hearts unconsciously.
At this time, he said again: "Yes, Zhen Zhen, Huang Yuqing, Zhou Feng, plus Zhao Xinfu, Feng Feifei, and Zhang Chang, who already existed, are scary. But we have Liao Liao, He Runqing, Rose For strength, we still have Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Rilen, and Zhao Yuan, Sony wants to recruit people and integrate resources, let him dig, let him integrate, what's the big deal?"
He snapped his fingers, "Who can make better music and whose album will sell better, let's compare and see!"
The atmosphere is a little serious.
But just such a simple sentence made everyone feel back to their souls and feel less panicked.
Some blood boiling feeling.
Someone wanted to applaud, but the atmosphere was too serious, and there was no first applause for a long time.
At this time, a familiar voice said: "We still have four beauties."
Everyone suddenly turned their heads and saw the person standing next to He Runqing talking. Many people laughed, and some began to applaud, "Long live the boss, long live the boss lady!"
…………
Li Qian's appearance, Li Qian's calmness, Li Qian's arrogance.
It has to be said that although everyone knows that Mr. Qi Jie is the top leader of the company and is in charge of all the company's affairs, but in Minghu Culture, Li Qian is still the real helm of the company in everyone's mind.
It is also a source of confidence for the entire company.
As a result, after speaking in public for just ten minutes, the atmosphere of Minghu culture quickly calmed down.
Everyone will still pay attention to the news related to Sony and the gossip in the industry at any time after work, but they will no longer be flustered in their hearts. For some shocking news from the outside world, they have been able to take it lightly.
Anyway... so what if you take Zhen Zhen down?
Our boss can train Zhuang Meiyue to wrestle with Zhen Zhen!
So what if you take Huang Yuqing?
When everyone sees Zhenzhang after the album is released, our Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen may not lose to him at that time!
What's more, our proprietress has already been alone in the domestic music scene, and our other proprietress, at present, has become stronger and stronger.
In addition, we also have the queen He Runqing, and we also have the flag bearers of domestic rock music, the Four Great Beauty Bands.
To put it simply, why is our Minghu culture DIAO?
Because our boss is very DIAO!
Our boss won Liao Liao, the queen of the country with one hand, and our boss helped He Runqing complete a magnificent turn around with one hand. Our boss won the popularity of Wuxing Wusu, and now he will hold the power of red rose again, and continue to hold the red Zhuang Meiyue, Gerri Leng and Zhao Yuan. And our boss's own band is also at the level of a king, okay?
The entire domestic music scene is rambling, Sony, Cinda and Hua Ge, so many well-known producers and musicians in the industry, are they qualified to wrestle with our boss?
…………
After quickly calming people down, Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan, Wang Jingxue, Xie Bing, and Sun Ruoxuan were all sent away by Li Qian. He Runqing chatted with Liao Liao for a few words and wanted to leave, but Li Qian took the initiative to stop her, and when everyone left, he asked with a smile, "Want to raise your salary?"
He Runqing smiled, very calmly, "Just kidding! I told you when I came here to ask you to sign a contract, earning money is no longer the most important thing to me. Now, I just enjoy singing , I’m enjoying the feeling of being a superstar who is sought after by others. So, don’t think about my affairs, if you need me to renew the contract, just give it to me at any time, and I’ll just sign it for you!” When she said this, she suddenly said: He slapped his forehead, "Oh, yes, if it is about salary increase...don't forget, you have promised for a long time that you will come to my house for dinner, and I am still waiting to show you my cooking skills!" After finishing speaking, She smiled, turned and walked away.
Li Qian smiled and stood where he was, watching her walk away.
Then, he suddenly said: "I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time, can you do it?"
He Runqing stopped, turned around, and said with a smile, "No problem, I'm good at cooking!"
The two looked at each other and both laughed.
…………
The recording in the morning went well.
Although the pop music scene outside is in the most chaotic and disorderly state in more than ten years, Li Qian and Liao Liao's moods are quite calm.
After several times of recording, Liao Liao gradually entered into the kind of emotions and feelings that Li Qian needed, and by the last two times, it had become more and more perfect——after the second recording was over, Li Qian stood up and applauded, saying: "You can call it a day!" Already!"
In fact, although this is only the piano version, and it was produced with great care, in the final analysis, it is still a small sample for comparison, and it is enough to reach Liao Liao's current level of performance.
In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, many Chinese people subconsciously believed that Europeans and Americans were born with good voices, so superstars came out in large numbers, while domestic singers could only be abused by foreign superstars in terms of voice, but In fact, that's never been the case. Many domestic singers are not inferior to European and American singers in terms of innate voice conditions.
The difference is only because European and American singers are more suitable for singing songs in English or Spanish, but this so-called innate condition is largely due to the relationship between language and atmosphere.
And in fact, the domestic pop music scene is relatively impetuous to a large extent. Although there are countless superstars, almost all of them sing popular styles such as pop, rock or folk songs. It is difficult for many niche music to start in China. It is difficult to become popular, but the European and American music markets are relatively mature, and they have greater tolerance and support for various types of music. Therefore, many foreign music styles of small groups can emerge some outstanding singers with unique singing voices.
In fact, in Li Qian's opinion, Liao Liao's voice level is not inferior to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Sharab Lehman and many other powerful queens. It would be an exaggeration to say that they surpassed them, but keeping pace with them was not a problem.
Therefore, Liao Liao's version of "My-Heart-Will–Go-On" is not inferior to Celine Dion's version in the slightest.
After Li Qian announced that the recording of this single had been completed, Liao Liao went back and listened to it several times before he was convinced that he had really performed well this time, and then the two officially called it a day.
It wasn't until this time that they returned to Li Qian's music director's office, the two of them sat down and drank a few sips of water, and then picked up the freshly released Dongguan Bookstore sales rankings again.
