Chapter 55 Donkey Temper (Part 2)

Huage Records, rehearsal room.

After practicing for a few days, the Five Elements Wusu Group practiced the basics of the new song they had just received. It happened that the accompaniment had already been made, and they recorded a rough demo in the morning. After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and just after 1:30, they came to the rehearsal room one after another, chatting and waiting for the appointed dance teacher.

So far, their new album has six songs, and each song has this rhythm. First get the song book, practice the song here, arrange the arrangement and record the accompaniment there, and then record Demo, and then dance practice... and this time, this song is said to be the most important, because this song is likely to become the first hit of the album.

In other words, even if there are only two songs on the MV disc released with the CD, this song must occupy one.

For this reason, the company has put in a lot of effort. It is said that they specially invited dance directors from other companies to help with the choreography, and the leader, the dance teacher who will be here this afternoon, has a lot of background.

It is said that she is a famous belly dancer in China, and she has also won the runner-up in the international pole dance competition... There is no doubt that the choreography of this song must be extremely beautiful!

In the rehearsal room, several girls were wearing short shirts and hot pants, sitting in the rest area casually chatting without manners. Only Wang Jingxue sat quietly on the far side, dazed in a daze.

Suddenly hearing someone call her name, she looked up in a trance and heard Sun Ruoxuan, who had the best relationship with her, ask: "Xiaoxue, have you listened to Liao Liao's album? Which one is your favorite?" head?"

Even Sima Duoduo, who is the most arrogant among the five-member group, has to admit that in their group, Wang Jingxue's voice and singing skills are absolutely the first, so when Sun Ruoxuan asked this question, the others were also curious. Look over here.

Wang Jingxue nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The whole album is very good. If I say I like it the most, well, it should be the song Wild Flowers. I like the unspeakable energy in the lyrics."

Zhou Pingping immediately agreed after hearing the words: "Like me, I also like wild flowers the most, and I also like the lyrics of the song Wild Flowers the most! Hey, by the way, sister Wu still said in the morning that the five songs by Liao Liao The songwriter of the song on the on-demand list... Yes, his name is Li Qian, doesn’t it mean that he is still a high school student? And it seems that he is still in the second year of high school? Do you think this is true or not?”

If you want to say that the most popular album in the pop music scene is "Liao Liao", of course, as a new star in the pop music scene, all kinds of gossip related to Liao Liao are endless, among which the people in the circle are particularly concerned about her five The songwriter of the first song on the list is not only the same person, but that person is also a high school student.

At this time, Zhou Pingping seriously spread the gossip she had inquired about, saying: "It is said that the news came from Changsheng Records itself, and it should not be fake! I heard that Liao Liao spent 400,000 yuan to buy it. After returning to the company for those five songs, everyone felt that she was cheated by a high school student, and the boss of that record company insisted that Liao Liao go to get the money back! Finally, he reluctantly agreed. And when it was first released, it was said that Changsheng Records only prepared 200,000 yuan for this album. At that time, the company agreed that this album would be good if it didn’t hit the street. No one expected it. She turned so red with just a swipe..."

As a music maker, who doesn't look forward to being famous? Especially the newcomers and prospective newcomers who have just entered the industry, who hasn't had the dream of becoming popular?

But now, there is such a person who has realized this myth of overnight popularity in front of him. How could it be possible for the girls in the Wuxingwusu group who have just entered the entertainment circle for a year or two not to be shocked, not Envy envy worship?

Therefore, in the past few days, as long as Liao Liao is mentioned, everyone's desire to chat will instantly become stronger.

At this time, Sima Duoduo couldn't help but said: "I have to admit that if a person is lucky, any good thing can happen to him. You said, then Liao Liao went to Jinan Mansion to spend a trip. I spent 400,000 yuan, but I came back with five top ten songs on the on-demand list, isn't this luck?"

Wang Jingxue actually wanted to say, "Liao Liao's singing skills are also very important. Although the song is good, it must be sung by her voice to be perfect!", but she knew that it would be too unpleasant for her to speak like this. Yes, so I endured it and didn't say anything.

But at this time, the other girls nodded unanimously when they heard the words.

Is it luck? A bit of luck indeed!

In everyone's mind, if Liao Liao didn't go to Jinan, if Liao Liao went to Jinan, he didn't see Li Qian by mistake, or he saw Li Qian but didn't hear him sing... In short , even if there is a slight mistake, it is obvious that her "Liao Liao" is just the most common rookie album on the market.

It was precisely because of Liao Liao's luck that he met Li Qian, and immediately offered the newcomer a "sky-high price" of 400,000, which moved him and bought his five songs. Therefore, Liao Liao became the Liao Liao he is today!

Therefore, she is very popular, and she is very beautiful!

Seems to have thought of these in unison, several girls sighed almost at the same time.

Then, Xie Bing, who was the most beautiful among the five, couldn't help but said: "Tell me, it would be great if that Li Qian could write us a few songs! Maybe once this album is released, we will be popular too!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and dragged her cheeks, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked like she was deeply in a dream, which made Sun Ruoxuan laugh, "Ah, ah, our little Bingbing is mad...Look quickly Look! Hahaha, hey, I said Bingbing, why don't you just go and seduce him, just exchange for a song for us!"

"Ah...go to hell! This girl is not... But, a high school student, I think he must be very handsome! Well, Xiaoxuan, you are responsible for finding out his address and telling me, I will try to seduce him !"

"Hahaha, it looks like she is really flirting..."

"Not only flirtatious, but also nympho..."

"Hey, Miss Xie Bing, please be more reserved, okay, even if you want to seduce, don't say it so openly?"

The sisters were laughing, and the manager, Sister Wu, opened the door and came in. Seeing everyone looking so happy, she couldn't help but ask, "Why is this? What's so fun about it?" Hearing that everyone was raving about Xie Bing Sister Wu couldn't help laughing as soon as the nympho said, "Okay babies, don't dream! The company has already contacted Changsheng Records. Li Qian is indeed still in high school and has no plans to debut at the moment. , and they even refused to disclose their contact information, so... obediently get up and warm up, your dance teacher will be here soon!"

Several people lazily stood up one after another, pressing their legs and rubbing their ankles. After a while, the producer Li Baolong opened the door and walked in. Behind him was a beautiful girl who looked to be in her twenties.

Seeing them coming in, Sister Wu clapped her hands, and the five immediately got together and stood in a row.

Li Baolong first introduced: "You have also recorded a demo of the new song, so the next step is the dance of this song. The company has spent a lot of effort on this choreography and invited many experts in the circle, so, Everyone must practice carefully with the dance teacher. Whether this album can become popular depends largely on this song! OK, let me introduce to you, the choreography of your song is also your next My dance teacher, Weny, teacher Wu Xiuqiong! Welcome everyone!"

The five sisters applauded one after another, and Weny smiled and nodded at everyone.

Then, Li Baolong introduced the names of Wu Xing Wu Su to the dance teacher Wu Xiuqiong one by one, and then solemnly introduced: "You may have already heard about it, Mr. Weny is our domestic belly dance and pole dance teacher. Master, so, let’s study hard next, okay? Then... Weny, can you please give a demonstration to everyone? You know, I also want to be honored to see you show off your dancing skills!"

This Weny is obviously a person who doesn't talk much. Hearing the words, he just nodded lightly and said "OK".

Then, receiving the look from the album producer Li Baolong, Sun Ruoxuan hurriedly ran to turn on the power of the CD and speakers, and soon, a dynamic electronic sound came out.

At this time, Wu Xiuqiong had already taken off her outer shirt, only wearing a tank top and shorts, dancing to the music.

As one of the three giants in the industry, among the musicians under Huage Records and its partners, there are naturally many master arrangers. The arrangement of this electronic dance music is also quite dynamic, and it is also a belly dancer and a pole dancer. Once Wu Xiuqiong, the head of the two families, moved to the music, her proud figure and sexy dancing posture instantly made the eyes of several people in the rehearsal room shine.

But then...

The girls with five elements and five elements were slightly embarrassed on their faces.

Because several movements in this choreography that Wu Xiuqiong showed... are too much!

Wu Xiuqiong is a master of belly dance and pole dance, and these two dances have always been known for showing the charm of women's bodies, so...

Compared with this set of dance moves, the girls suddenly felt that the choreography that they thought was very glamorous and sexy was actually quite conservative!

This is simply naked sex. Provocative!

If you connect it with the lyrics of this song...

Although everyone knew from the day they joined the company that the company's positioning for their group is to take the sexy route, but sexy is not the same as sexy. Although the choreography of the last album was also rushing to show the sexy figures of the sisters Go, but that level of display of sexiness isn't offensive, and this...

A song was played within three minutes, Wu Xiuqiong stopped, album producer Li Baolong smiled and applauded, manager Wu Jie also applauded along with him.

But the girls looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they hesitated to applaud.

Wang Jingxue was expressionless, but there was anger in her eyes.

Xie Bing, Zhou Pingping, and Sun Ruoxuan all had worried expressions on their faces, but they were also secretive.

Even Sima Duoduo, who has always been the boldest and most open-minded among the five sisters, looked a little unhappy at this time.

Considering the conservative aesthetic taste of most people in the country, the choreography of this song is not popular. If it is really popular, they don’t know if they will be labeled as sexual (harmonious) ? Will it be called indecent?

But obviously, judging by the appearance of producer Li Baolong, he should be very satisfied with this dance.

After admiring Wu Xiuqiong's dancing posture, he turned around and told the girls in the Wuxing Wusu group to study hard, and then he said goodbye and left.

The five girls all turned their gazes to the manager, Sister Wu, as if they were asking for help.

Sister Wu was a little embarrassed and was hesitating whether to chase her out to say something, but Wang Jingxue had already stepped out and coldly chased her out the door.

Wu Xiuqiong had already noticed the strangeness in the rehearsal room, but she was only paid to teach the dance moves, and she naturally pretended not to see the internal affairs of the company. Therefore, when Sister Wu showed her an apologetic smile, she just smiled and didn't care, but said: "The lunch is a bit salty, I'm a little thirsty, go have a glass of water first, everyone take a rest first, wait Start practicing again later!"

So the few girls who stayed in the rehearsal room thanked them repeatedly.

When Wu Xiuqiong went to the rest area to drink water, everyone gathered together to look at the door of the rehearsal room, but they dared not chase it out. But after a while, they heard the sound of arguing outside the door, and they didn't care about any taboos anymore, they walked to the door one by one and opened the door to look out.

…………

In the corridor, Wang Jingxue quickly caught up with producer Li Baolong, and said, "Mr. Baolong, isn't the choreography of this song too provocative?"

Li Baolong stopped, smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "This is the company's arrangement! You also know that your last album did not sell well, so the company thinks that instead of continuing to collect slow songs for you, it is better to create a few more fast songs Come out with electronic dance music, coupled with sexy dances...you will definitely have more commercial performances at that time! The company is also thinking about you, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Wang Jingxue still didn't even have a smile on her face, she just said coldly: "But I don't want to be a porn (harmony) star! I don't want to be scolded as indecent! The lyrics of this song are just bad. , I disagree with this choreography!"

Hearing this, Li Baolong's face suddenly turned ugly.

Perhaps in those small and medium-sized record companies, there will be more respect for the artist's own wishes, because the way the company makes records is to take a personalized route, and the will of the singer and the producer's thinking have conflicted. In many cases, they may not follow the producer's method in the end, but in a big company like Huage Records, the company's absolute strength when facing artists will give the producer an authority that cannot be challenged.

Especially when the other party is just a few girls with mediocre record sales and no bright prospects in the future!

Li Baolong gave Wang Jingxue a cold look, and said, "Look at your arrangements for the company, and you have a lot of opinions about my work!"

Wang Jingxue looked at him coldly, refusing to budge an inch, "The company wants us to take the sexy route, that's fine, but being sexy doesn't mean we need to turn us into pornographic (harmonious) stars! Pole dancing Whether it’s belly dancing or belly dancing, it can be both sexy and good-looking without being offensive, so why does the choreographer have to add those sexually provocative movements?”

Li Baolong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice gradually became louder, "Wang Jingxue, are you criticizing me?"

Wang Jingxue took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly lowered her head, and said, "I didn't mean that, I just disagree with this choreography!"

Her attitude seemed to have dropped a lot, but the anger on Li Baolong's face did not abate in the slightest. He sneered and said, "Yanwu? Yan (harmony) star? Do you know how much money the company invested in cultivating you guys? But how did you repay the company? Don't you know how much the last record was sold in total? "

"Tell you Wang Jinglu, as a producer, I am implementing the development direction set by the company for you! And I also want to tell you that in order to collect songs for your album, my legs are running thin, and my face is frozen from laughing! Do you think the song is bad? Don’t like it? Do you think it’s Yanwu? Don’t want to be a prostitute? Okay, then go out and collect songs yourself! Fang Ling, Mianmian, Lubian, Niu Wulang, Cao Zhan...any one will do, They can write songs that will make you popular without having to dance, so go find them to invite songs! I, Li Baolong, will leave the word here, as long as you can ask these people to come, I will go to the company Speak for you!"

Wang Jingxue fell silent.

Not far away, Wu Xing Wu Su and her girls, who were hiding at the door and eavesdropping, all bowed their heads.

Yes, their last album sold so poorly, and their word-of-mouth was not very good. Apart from their sexy dance, it seems that they really have nothing to say about their strengths, so the company is not very good at accepting songs for the new album. Smooth, so when making the album, I can only go a little more extreme in the direction of sexy...

Big-name musicians like Fang Ling, Mianmian, and Cao Zhan, if you think about it, you know that even if a big company like Huage Records came forward to invite songs, they would definitely not agree to give their high-quality goods to a few "basic music fans". Can't sing, only a few thighs are worth seeing" the girl spoiled...

Yes, when their first album was released, a music critic did say that, he said: "I really don't know why this group needs to release an album. For girls who can sing, it seems that only those thighs are worth seeing!"

Thinking about it this way, everyone feels that the future is really bleak...

At this time, seeing that there was an outrageous noise outside, and even people from other rehearsal rooms had come to the door to watch the excitement, Wu Xingwusu's manager Wu Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out, pulled Wang Jingxue hard, and said in a low voice. Said: "Xiaoxue, stop messing around, and apologize to Mr. Li! No one else knows how much Mr. Li has put in for your album, but you don't know? Hurry up..."

Hearing what Sister Wu said, the expression on Li Baolong's face softened slightly, but he still stared at Wang Jingxue coldly, as if he was waiting for her to apologize - so many people have heard it, and it will spread in half an hour The whole company, if Wang Jingxue doesn't apologize to him in public, will he be able to survive as a producer in the future?

But at this time, Wang Jingxue just lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Sister Wu quickly pushed her as a reminder, but Wang Jingxue remained motionless.

This time, Li Baolong's face suddenly became uglier than before!

He already knew that Wang Jingxue was a thorn, but he didn't expect her to be so ignorant! Perhaps, when the contract expires, I should suggest that the company terminate the contract with her directly? Then sign a girl to make up the number?

Taking a deep breath, although he was already suppressing the anger in his heart, he was still furious when he spoke, "No need! Apologize? I dare not ask Miss Wang Jingxue to apologize to me as a small producer! She will be a big producer in the future. star!"

Full of cynicism!

But at this moment, Wang Jinglu raised her head and looked at him, but there was no sign of anger on her face. On her usually expressionless face, there was a little bit of entanglement and struggle that was rarely seen.

Then, she suddenly said: "If... if I can find someone to write songs for us... Li Qian will do it?"

Li Baolong, who was waiting for her to apologize, only heard the first few words and knew that the other party was going to fight him hard, so he couldn't help but sneered, and subconsciously said: "Li Qian? Ha..." But the sneer only After laughing halfway, he suddenly came back to his senses, the expression on his face changed, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Which Li Qian are you talking about...?"

If a few weeks ago, there seemed to be no one named Li Qian in the music circle, but now, this name has become the hottest existence in the entire music circle!

At this time, Wang Jingxue relaxed when she said the words, and she calmly replied, "It's that Li Qian! The Li Qian who wrote songs for Liao Liao!"

Li Baolong stared at Wang Jingxue with wide eyes in surprise, and he didn't recover for a while. Then, he blinked, continued to stare at Wang Jingxue, and said, "You mean...the Li Qian who wrote "Perseverance" and "Wild Flowers"?"

Wang Jingxue nodded calmly.

Then, she saw Li Baolong's Adam's apple seemed to make a swallowing movement.

"Do you know Li Qian?"

Wang Jingxue nodded again.

Suddenly, Li Baolong raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the forehead.

Then, he continued to stare at Wang Jingxue, still with that unbelievable tone, and asked, "You... know him very well? I mean... I mean, can you get his song?"

Wang Jingxue nodded again, and said calmly, "Yes!"

Li Baolong's Adam's apple made another swallowing movement.

Then...he suddenly slapped his hands, "Then why don't you say it earlier!"

Wang Jingxue looked at him in astonishment when he heard the words, only to see that at this moment, the black cloud-like anger on his body just now had dissipated without a trace. I also forgot to hold grudges, and just kept saying: "Okay, okay, very good! Xiaoxue, you tomorrow... no, now! From now on, I will give you a vacation. It is said that Li Qian seems to be still there. Jinan is studying in high school? Buy a ticket now and go to Jinan, go find him and invite him to sing!"

"...As long as you can get his song, as long as it is a good song, don't worry, we will give you as much as he wants! 80,000 is not enough for one song, then 180,000! You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it Go report to the company! By the way, as long as you bring his songs, your new album, set the tune according to the songs he gave you!"

…………

After finally waiting for Li Baolong, who was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, to report to the leader, Wang Jingxue completely ignored all kinds of complicated gazes from the door of the rehearsal room beside the corridor, turned and walked back to his rehearsal room.

With a snap, the door closed behind her and her manager, Sister Wu.

A moment later, there was a sudden burst of screaming in the rehearsal room that was loud enough to explode the ears of normal people!

"Well, you Xiaoxue, it's so hard for us to hide it from us. Just now, Bingbing said that she was going to sacrifice herself, but you can't say anything! Sisters, come on, get rid of her!"
