Chapter 459

Waking up early the next morning, Lin Xianjun followed Qin Xulin to Minghu Culture with high spirits.

He Wei received them personally, and spent more than 40 minutes to conduct a comprehensive test and understanding of her intonation, timbre, range and musicality, etc. After that, Lin Xianjun came out after the test and felt that she was very good. Refreshingly, when Qin Xulin asked how she was doing, the girl was so confident that she said, "No problem!" After a pause, she made a point of showing off, "That teacher scared me a lot!"

But in fact, less than ten minutes after finishing the test, a girl named Xu Min from the artist department at Minghu Culture came over to call them by name. Said the result: can not sign!

As for why, Xu Min said that I was only in charge of brokerage affairs and had no right to decide whether to sign a contract.

Both Qin Xulin and Lin Xianjun were a little confused.

But it didn't block the road over there, and left a gap.

If Lin Xianjun agrees, they are willing to give a chance, that is, Minghu Culture will help her contact the teacher, let her go to the class, and carry out a higher level of systematic study. When the study period expires, she will combine her teacher's suggestion and go through another interview. Then decide whether you can sign a contract to join Minghu Culture.

To put it simply: You are not close yet, but you are a good seedling, we are willing to cultivate you!

But the problem is, in Lin Xianjun's view, he is no longer a seedling, he is clearly a phoenix, so he should lend strength to a branch, and then take off, soaring nine days!

So she felt humiliated.

Although people did not agree to sign directly, but at least they gave the opportunity. Qin Xulin still had some expectations for sending this little girl to Minghu Culture, but it turned out that the little girl directly stuck her neck in front of the other party's manager. He said, "You will regret it!" Then he slammed the door and left.

When the news came back, He Wei was very helpless.

The new album of Rose Power is still practicing songs, and the preparations for He Runqing's concert have been completed. The only difference is that he goes to different cities to perform every weekend. Recently, he was planning to put together the single sentences of his previous fragments and write some new songs, but because of this matter, his mind was a little confused for a while.

After thinking back and forth in his office for a long time, he still got up and left the office, wandered around, ran to the door of the new music director's office, and knocked on the door.

When Xie Mingyuan in the room said "come in", he opened the door and went in.

Xie Mingyuan has been in office for more than a month, but before that, he was mainly busy with the later stage of Liao Liao's new album, so now, he is actually just familiarizing himself with the situation here. He is in the process of taking over, and the specific business is still with He Wei.

Of course, they had been partners for many years during Sony Records, and they had a good relationship and cooperated with each other tacitly. At this time, continuing to work together in the new company will naturally be of great help to Xie Mingyuan's integration into and taking over the music department of Minghu Culture.

Xie Mingyuan is looking at the file, and it is a document on the classification, main promotion direction and internal positioning of the singers under Minghu Culture's senior management. Obviously, the main author of this level of document can only be Li Qian, and those who are qualified to read it are also It must be director level or above. As far as the entire Minghu culture is concerned, in terms of music, there are three people, Li Qian, Qi Jie and Xie Mingyuan, plus an artist director Zou Wenhuai.

Liao Liao, He Runqing, and He Wei are all deputy music directors, but they are not qualified.

Looking up and seeing He Wei coming in, Xie Mingyuan waved his hand, "Sit."

He Wei sat down on the sofa and didn't speak for a while.

The document in Xie Mingyuan's hand has actually been read many times, but it is just the current and future positioning of the singers under his banner in this document, and Li Qian revealed between the lines his future development of the domestic music market and entertainment market. The possibility estimation and direction analysis made Xie Mingyuan feel that this document is worth reading and re-reading.

He used to be the top leader of Sony Records, so he naturally has his own judgment and insights about the future development of the domestic record market and the entertainment industry, but it has to be said that his way of thinking is somewhat different from Li Qian's. With these differences, it is still impossible to verify who is right and who is wrong. It can only be judged by the development of the matter itself as time goes by.

However, now that he has taken over the position of music director, and on the basis of not contradicting Li Qian's general idea, he still decides to think about it seriously, find a suitable opportunity, and have a deep talk with Li Qian, at least to put his different opinions, There are different opinions, and they are all explained. If Li Qian still insists on his judgment, then he must still focus on his thinking.

Of course, this kind of thing requires long-term thinking, and it is definitely not something that can be figured out by patting the head in a short time.

He Wei came in and sat there without speaking, making Xie Mingyuan unable to concentrate for a while. In the end, he simply put down the documents in his hand, sorted them out, and put them away. Then he looked at He Wei with a smile on his face and asked :"what happened?"

He Wei said with a sad face, "The girl... I finished the test."

Xie Mingyuan smiled, got up and walked over, sat down, and then asked again: "Look at you...you must be talented?"

He Wei nodded, "Not only is it good, it's just..." After thinking about his words, he said with some exaggeration: "The tone, range, and sense of music are simply outstanding! From bass, to midrange, to treble, She’s really beautiful! She’s no worse than Liao Liao! Let me put it this way, as long as she walks the right way and keeps her footing steady, maybe in a few years, she will be the second Liao Liao!"

Xie Mingyuan raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard the words.

He Wei has always been prudent and down-to-earth when doing things and speaking. To get such a recommendation from him and to praise her like this shows that the girl's standard is indeed not low.

So, after a pause, Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "So, I really don't understand why you don't want to sign her, right?"

He Wei lowered his head, and nodded after a while.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyuan laughed and asked, "It's okay if you don't understand Li Qian's decision. Do you want to know how I made the decision?"

He Wei looked up at him.

Xie Mingyuan put away his smile and said seriously: "I won't sign her either."

"Why?" He Wei asked puzzled.

Xie Mingyuan smiled, recalling the passages in the document he had read just now, as well as some things he had done in Sony Records over the years, he said with emotion: "Remember when you asked me, Feng Feifei obviously had no call It’s hard, why do I have to push her into that seat? I remember that I answered you with two words: order! Right?”

He Wei nodded.

Xie Mingyuan said again: "Then now, I still have to answer you: order."

After a pause, he sighed, and explained: "Liao Liao and the Four Great Beauties are responsible for breaking through in two directions. Liao Liao is responsible for international reputation, international routes are responsible for breadth, and the Four Great Beauties are responsible for the depth of word of mouth. , This is the power at the top. He Runqing and Rose Power are responsible for grasping the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people in China, especially young people! Then next, there are Zhou Ye, Zhuang Meiyue, Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen. This is the moment The singer structure of the company! Next, when Zhou Mo comes over, he will strengthen the strength of the middle management, but the strengthening is still in the direction of women. Therefore, what our company lacks now is not a female singer who is talented and arrogant, but a female singer who can rush To a male singer with both strength and idol qualities that are on par with Rose Power! Only then will the company's singer power be the most balanced!"

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly, and said: "At present, it is not easy to push Zhao Yuan and Gerilan to the level of He Runqing and Rose Power. Zhou Ye has some potential, but in fact, I most want to What I did was also listed as the first major thing I did when I came to be the music director, which was to urge Li Qian to release a solo album. But, you also know that instead of intending to release a solo album, he is planning to Make an album for Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing each, and let the two of them try to go solo on the basis of keeping the combination... In this way, the company will become even more bloated in terms of female singers!"

After a pause, he looked at He Wei helplessly, and asked, "Then tell me, if you sign that girl, how should you position her next? And how should you push her out? What's more, her temperament is just like that." You can tell from this incident, once the positioning you give doesn't meet her psychological expectations, what will be the consequences? That's not kindness, it's hatred!"

He Wei rubbed his forehead, speechless for a while.

He can make music, but when it comes to these big structures and overall thinking, it is not his strong point.

After a long time, he could only say helplessly: "I just... just think it's a pity!"

Xie Mingyuan smiled, and said: "I think that signing her now and making her popular will be the only way to hurt her!"

After a pause, he said: "The talent is great, but one's own wisdom is not enough to control and control this talent. Then, it may not be a good thing to become popular too early! After being popular for a few years, it quickly disappeared. There are still fewer geniuses? Those who really gain a foothold and continue to be popular are like the waves washing away the sand, and the ones left in the end are all extremely talented and emotionally intelligent."

Having said that, he breathed out, patted He Wei's knee on the side, and said, "Wait for two years, let her beat and beat."

He Wei was speechless and could only nod his head.

But soon, he raised his head and asked, "You said...you want Li Qian to debut and release an album? Did you tell him? What did he say?"

Xie Mingyuan breathed out helplessly when he heard the words, "I didn't say anything, look at him now, he's stuck in the ninth floor every day and doesn't want to come out, how can I speak?" After a pause, he breathed out helplessly, "Wait back, it's said That TV series is almost finished, and when he is finished, and when Zhou Mo and He Runqing's concert is almost done, I will have a deep talk with him when I have some free time."

He Wei nodded when he heard the words, and said with emotion: "The company is indeed a little weaker when it comes to male singers. And..." After thinking for a while, he frowned again and continued: "These two newcomers in a row pushed Going out, the market feedback was slightly lower than our prior expectations, and this situation seems a bit wrong? Although I made the album, Li Qian listened to it and gave us opinions, and we re-adjusted a lot It was not completed until he finally approved it. Ordinarily...it shouldn't be!"

Hearing this, Xie Mingyuan's face became serious, and he nodded slowly, before he said, "We had dinner together a few days ago, and I also mentioned this issue. It was me, Li Qian, President Qi, and Liao Liao at that time. At that time, Li Qian He said a word, and now I feel a little confused about what he meant, until you came in just now, I was still thinking about that sentence."

He Wei couldn't help asking, "What did he say?"

Xie Mingyuan frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation: "He said, it's time for something new?"

He Wei also frowned upon hearing this, "New thing, what new thing?"

Xie Mingyuan said: "I didn't quite understand it at the time, so I asked him, and he said that he could clearly feel the changes in the domestic music market in recent years, and this change and the enrichment of the market have always been accelerating, so the old-fashioned Things, attractiveness and freshness, are slowly declining... In the end, I thought what he said was quite reasonable, but when I looked back and thought about it, I suddenly realized that he didn't answer my question at all, so until now , I don’t even know what the so-called new stuff he’s talking about is new stuff!”

He Wei shrugged when he heard the words, but suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and whispered: "It's been a while since I said this, and it was just after the new year this year, probably in the first month, I don't know if it was him that day Tired of editing TV dramas, I went to the musical instrument room, played the pipa for a while, and sang a section. I didn’t care at first, but when I felt something was wrong and ran over, he had already finished singing. I’m curious. , asked him to do it again, he refused to say anything, and said that I would know when I made the album later. You said... Could he actually have written the songs for the new album for himself? Just wait for the time Send it again when we arrive?"

Xie Mingyuan turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, his eyes brightened, "Hearing what you said... I seem to understand a little bit."

After a pause, he continued: "No wonder when it came to Wang Jingxue's new album that time, he was rarely hesitant, saying that it would be unsafe to let Wang Jingxue be the first to eat crabs..."

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, "Looking at it this way, it seems that he is going to eat this first crab in person? Has he taken a new path?" Having said this, he looked at He Wei with a little excitement, " Do you remember what kind of style he sang that day?"

"Uh..." He Wei hesitated for a moment, frowned and thought hard, but finally spread his hands, "I really didn't hear clearly, but when I passed by the door, I heard a few words, which seemed a bit R&B style."

"R&B?"

Xie Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he smiled slowly and said: "When it comes to musical talent, when it comes to the control of various types of music, including the ability to judge the market, his talent is still unquestionable. It seems that he should It has a bottom line."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "I suddenly couldn't wait any longer! No...he's up there now, I'll go up and check on him!"
