Chapter 425: Decision

Minghu Culture Company, ninth floor, editing room.

After finishing a long paragraph, Li Qian went back to read it twice, nodded in satisfaction, "It's great!" Then, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked at his watch, and said with a smile: "Da Liu, take a break, everything is fine." It's been two hours."

Liu Qing also nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, then I'll go smoke a cigarette!" After speaking, he rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Big Liu, Liu Qing, is not yet 30 years old this year, and entered the industry halfway, but Yu Bojun's several films in the past two or three years have been edited by him, and the work is quite good. This time, he cut "New "Legend of the White Snake", Li Qian borrowed it without any hassle. Up to now, less than 20% of the work has been done, but it can already be seen that he belongs to that kind of person with special aura. Simply put, talented.

After he went out, Li Qian rubbed his eyes again, and leaned back on the chair relaxedly. After resting for a while, he sat up and wanted to go through the work just now, but unconsciously remembered John When Daisy and Michael Johnson came over, I couldn't help being a little distracted again.

Yes, he didn't agree on the spot, but he didn't refuse either. He just said that he needed to think about it and see if the time could be arranged.

In fact, whoever does things first must see who is more important. Therefore, as long as the things in the United States are important enough, then of course, you can make time if you don’t have time, and put everything to Then it will be postponed for two or three months.

So, do things matter?

certainly!

Whether it is the soundtrack of the big ship is not so important, but it is extremely important whether it can get the global sales support of Rolling Stone Records-the cultural gap between the East and the West has always been there, and it is quite deep. It is not an easy task for Eastern singers to go to the Western world to make a big sale!

What I have to admit is that despite the fact that the albums of the four major beauty bands seem to be selling like crazy in the Chinese cultural circle, it seems that the market in the Chinese cultural circle itself is already big enough, but in fact, people with a little knowledge will understand, Today's world is still a world where Western culture occupies a strong position.

To put it simply, no matter how well you do Chinese music, it can only be sold in the Chinese cultural circle. In the United States, it can be sold in Chinatown at best, but as long as English music is done well, it can cover all cultural circles in the world-this is the difference.

Moreover, the market in the English-speaking cultural circle is many times larger than that in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle.

The two main markets are North America and Europe, plus almost any place in the world is an English-speaking sales market... Well, even outside of the traditional Europe and North America, just an English-speaking India, and In South Africa and other places, all of these are added together, and the overall magnitude of the English-speaking cultural circle market is much higher than that of the Chinese-speaking cultural circle in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, making an English-focused album for Liao Liao or He Runqing has always been in the plan, but this opportunity came a little suddenly.

Therefore, Li Qian really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Li Qian or Liao Liao, it’s okay to talk to Rolling Stone Records by themselves. After all, they are no longer ordinary people. It’s normal to want to enter the global market and make an English album. We have to talk about it slowly, and it is certain that we will suffer, but now, because of the addition of Dachuan, considering the influence of 20th Century Fox and Time Warner behind it, and considering that this album will be released with "My-heart" -will-go-on" is the main title song, and you can borrow a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, which will definitely have the advantage of investing in a huge publicity offensive. For Rolling Stone Records, in terms of conditions, it will not be overwhelming. So powerful.

This matter is of great benefit to all three parties!

It's just... If you accept it, then "Legend of the New White Snake" will inevitably miss the summer vacation.

Li Qian stroked the slightly prickly stubble on his chin, a little hesitant.

For this play, he really put too much effort into it, and really wanted to see how it was finally completed sooner.

Moreover, a lot of money has been invested in this drama. To be honest, even Li Qian, who has the most confidence in it, feels the pressure is as heavy as a mountain, and every day that passes, this pressure will become heavier. point.

After a while, Li Qian sighed, stood up and walked out.

In the smoking room at the end of the corridor, Da Liu opened the window and was puffing at the window.

The current imaging department on the ninth floor, that is, Han Shunzhang will come here every day. Apart from him, there are almost no office staff, so the smoking room is also empty.

Li Qian walked over, "Da Liu, do you still have cigarettes, give me one."

Liu Qing quickly took out a cigarette, Li Qian took out one, and lit it with his fire.

Take a deep breath and spit it out.

The sunset outside the window was all over the sky, reflecting the whole street and the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of glittering gold.

In the distance and near, there are tall buildings.

Like Liu Qing, Li Qian was lying on the window, smoking while looking at the world outside the window.

After a while, Liu Qing finished smoking. Seeing Li Qian's pensive look, he left without bothering him. Li Qian didn't even notice it, but kept smoking until the smoke burned down. Only the butts remain.

He put out the cigarette butt, closed the window, and walked back slowly.

Liu Qing has continued to work.

To be honest, regardless of his young age, his qualifications are very low in the field of editors, but he is very dedicated to doing things, the outline given by Li Qian, and there is also an extremely important storyboard script for reference. , basically speaking, Li Qian only needs to take a look at what he has cut, and adjust the details roughly. In some places, Li Qian doesn't even need to adjust.

To be honest, if he wasn't Yu Bojun's person, Li Qian would have started poaching him long ago.

After going back and sitting down, Li Qian thought for a while, then stood up, patted Liu Qing on the shoulder, and said, "I still have something to do, you cut it first, and I'll come back later."

Liu Qing readily agreed, "Okay."

So Li Qian got up and left the ninth floor.

In his office on the eighth floor, Zhou Mo came here at some point. Li Qian opened the door and went in, stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Why are you here? You didn't even say hello."

Zhou Mo was reading a magazine and listening to music. Seeing him coming in, she didn't get up. She just said, "Old Zou said you agreed? Do you really want me to go to the concert?" Li Qian nodded and walked over, hugged her on the sofa, and kissed her face. He kissed his son, and then said: "Old Zou wants to do it, and Sony also wants to do it. I guess it is because Liao Liao made too much money last year? Then you can do it."

After a pause, he continued: "It just so happens that the contract you signed with Sony expires in the second half of this year, and if you finish this concert tour around the summer vacation, it means you don't owe Sony anything. .I think it's quite good... Didn't Lao Zou say you would too?"

Zhou Mo shrugged, flipped through the magazine in her hand, and said, "I haven't figured it out yet!"

Li Qian was about to speak when his computer beeped suddenly on his desk. Li Qian got up and went over to see that it was an instant email——In China, QQ has already had a very strong installed capacity and usage rate, almost monopolizing it. Of course, Li Qian is a staunch supporter of QQ, the instant messaging software in China. However, Xie Mingyuan went to France last year and left Li Qian his email address before leaving. Chat software, in the past six months, Xie Mingyuan and the others have been in contact almost every now and then, but recently, because Li Qian is too busy, the number of chats between the two has gradually decreased.

The email was sent by Xie Mingyuan - "The album has been received, it's great! The old man is full of praise after listening to it."

Li Qian smiled and replied at that time: "Thank you! How is the old man? How do you feel about spending this Spring Festival in France?"

After a while, Xie Mingyuan replied: "It's okay! It's just that I want to go home recently!"

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, but he didn't put his finger down. Then, he raised his head to look at Zhou Mo, just in time Zhou Mo also looked over, the two of them looked at each other, Zhou Mo closed the magazine, and asked, "What's on your mind?"

Li Qian pursed his lips, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "At the critical moment, I'm actually not a very courageous person!" While speaking, he patted the table and said with a smile, "Go ahead, your concert will also Don't think about it, it's just a bit of hard work, and it will be finished in a few months. As for me, I am going to go out recently, go to the United States, and pick up the soundtrack of an American movie. Push it out and let her go to the international arena to give you a trip first."

Zhou Mo blinked, but said nothing.

Li Qian got up and walked over, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Actually, I haven't considered it too clearly yet, whether I should stick to this market, work hard, and lay a solid foundation, or go out now." Going out, while stabilizing the existing market in hand, while opening up new markets and audiences for Chinese culture. However, I think this is a good opportunity, so there is nothing wrong with it, so I decided to go This step is only half a year's work, just right, let me see how Sony will play this game of chess, even if it is... a late attack!"

Zhou Mo squinted at him, and waited for him to finish his long speech, then looked away, and said, as if he didn't listen at all, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. . . You do coolies for a few months."

Li Qian smiled and said: "Actually, a few months later, when your contract with Sony expires completely, we can do it ourselves. There is no reason for Sony to take 30% of it all at once, but how should I put it... ...I don't want to do this kind of thing that takes advantage of all the advantages. Even if the opponent is Sony, my main opponent, I don't want to take advantage of them. So, Sony wants to squeeze a little more profit from you, so let Let him squeeze it! When they make money, I will feel that I am not in debt."

Zhou Mo smiled, "Guess what?"

Li Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at her. She smiled and leaned over, kissed her loudly, and said with a smile, "That's what I like about you!"

…………

After making an appointment with Zhou Mo to pick her up in the evening and go out for dinner together, Li Qian sat back in front of the computer again.

Now that the matter is settled, my heart is open.

Li Qian made a few phone calls before typing on the keyboard, and said to Xie Mingyuan: "I have something, you have to help me."

After two or three minutes, Xie Mingyuan replied: "Say. I will help if I can."

Li Qiandao: "I want to accept the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie, and the condition is that the other party is willing to facilitate the cooperation between Minghu Culture and Rolling Stone Records to make an album for Liao Liao and distribute it globally. Therefore, I may leave for the United States, Europe and the United States in a few days." It's your place, think about it, come and help me!"

…………

Xie Mingyuan needs to think about it, but Li Qian won't wait for him. He has made up his mind and will inform Qi Jie later that he can talk about treatment with John Dyce.

Then, there are a lot of things at home, and it will take some effort to arrange them properly.

Jin Han's new film "On the Road" has basically finalized the cast and crew, and the final production crew is only a few days away. Li Qian is certainly relieved that Han Shunzhang will be his big housekeeper. So...Of course, Huang Wenjuan must still be sent out, with two treasurers in charge of holding on to the money bag. This way, Li Qian can feel more at ease.

Preparations for He Runqing's concert have already started after the Chinese New Year. In this regard, Minghu Culture has already had a very successful example ahead. With Qi Jie and the others in charge of managing everything, Li Qian can feel at ease.

As for the debut albums of the newcomers... it is not always easy for newcomers to make their debut, but fortunately, their albums, from Zhuang Meiyue to Ge Rilen to Zhao Yuan, Li Qian followed from the beginning . Most of the songs in their albums are also given by themselves, so he is also confident in the quality of the album itself, so the basic sales will definitely not be bad. The choice of the market is not something that can be decided by oneself.

It's just...Wang Jinglu's place, he was a little worried.

So, it was obvious that he was the one who went out and left his hometown and home, but before he left, he was the one who repeatedly told Wang Jinglu this and that——

"What did your mother say, don't take it to heart, wait for me to deal with it when I come back."

"Know it!"

"The matter of the house is based on the drawings anyway. If you feel unsure, ask Teacher Qi to give you a reference. If you are both unsure, then you can do whatever is expensive. At most, let someone kill you. Better than regretting after using bad materials.”

"Know it!"

"After joining the group, Lao Jin is an acquaintance, and I will definitely take care of you. In the performance, don't be brave, just follow the director's instructions. In addition, Juanzi... Huang Wenjuan is with the group. If there is anything, you can ask her to help you. .”

"Know it!"
