Chapter 660 This Is Really a Sad Story!

"This is really a sad morning!" Li Qian said with emotion.

Liao Liao smiled, reached out and gave him a light thump.

Several people stood on the steps in front of the door, watched the three cars drive out of the villa, and watched the door slowly close before turning around and walking back.

"The song Millie Fairy wrote for you is good." Xie Mingyuan said seriously.

Liao Liao nodded, and Li Qian also nodded.

"But when she was about to leave, she was very unwilling." Xie Mingyuan said again.

Liao Liao laughed, while Li Qian shrugged.

Yes, it was a sad morning. After flying for nearly a day, I finally landed. I couldn’t sleep, and I couldn’t hug my wife and kiss and grope. In the end, I was forced to play the piano and sing for others, and even gave a girl to me. She sang and cried—crying so loudly, because she thought of her grandma.

The old lady who took care of her growing up, bought her the first musical instrument harmonica in her life, liked to smoke, liked to speak German, but was forced to speak English with a very inaccurate Texas accent.

So, no one mentioned whether there is a game or not. No matter how hard Millie Fairy scratched her heart, it was impossible for her good friend to mention a second song when her good friend was sad like that.

So, after a lot of crying, Jon and Millie volunteered to drive Serena home, but in the end it was Serena who drove herself, and the three of them came and went together.

We had lunch together at noon. After lunch, Liao Min was very energetic. Sun Meimei took her out to visit Los Angeles, especially Hollywood. Xie Mingyuan is fluent in English and French, and he is also very helpful in Los Angeles. Some good friends borrowed a car and decided to go out for a stroll.

In fact, it is equivalent to saying that everyone tacitly left time and space to Li Qian and Liao Liao.

Although this villa is big enough and has enough rooms, but... two people are better.

On the second day, everyone was going to have their own fun, but Millie Fairy and Serena Twain called so blankly that Li Qian and Liao Liao had to find a place to have lunch in a hurry. Hurriedly back to the villa, chatting with the two American girls about Eastern and Western music until the evening.

On the third day after arriving in the United States, Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan were finally about to start work.

After all, the two of them came here with heavy responsibilities.

In an audition room, Liao Liao gave each of them a printed song page and a pen.

It is said that there are a total of 26 songs. Of course, all of them are English songs, but there are still only demos, some of which have a little simple accompaniment, such as guitar, piano, or simple tambourines, and some are simply vocals without accompaniment.

The task of Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan is to listen to 26 songs in one go, and choose eight to ten candidates from them. In the end, there will be about two or three of these eight to ten songs, which will be finally selected by Liao Liao. 's new album.

Rolling Stone believes that Liao Liao's insistence on putting four Chinese songs in the album has a huge impact on the global sales of the album. They believe that listeners in so many countries around the world buy English songs and they don't understand Chinese. , then for these fans, there will of course be a huge gap in the appeal of six English works and ten English works.

Therefore, they once asked to restart the relevant contract negotiations, hoping that China's Minghu Culture can abandon the placement of Chinese songs in such a global album, and change to an album of all English works sold around the world, and then release an album of Chinese works Specialize in sales of Chinese cultural circles.

However, before the matter reached Li Qian's ears, Liao Liao and Sun Meimei directly vetoed it - if you think this model is not good, we can terminate the contract peacefully at any time!

The tough attitude of Liao Liao and Sun Meimei shocked the Rolling Stones!

Although the family has a big business, but the sales and influence of a singer at the level of Liao Liao, for the Rolling Stones, that is absolutely not willing to give up!

And the most terrible thing is that there is only one album left in Liao Liao's contract!

If the relationship is not handled well, after the release of this album, Liao Liao can freely sign with any record company at any time - Liao, who has already won the title of "Oriental Goddess" in Western society, is there any record company that is not greedy? ?

Therefore, the Rolling Stones quickly said: No problem, continue with four Chinese songs and six English songs!

In fact, it is difficult for them to understand that this is not because Liao Liao and Li Qian want to be lazy, nor is it impossible to make a Chinese and an English album at the same time and sell them separately. It is necessary to pass on some Chinese culture through Liao Liao's voice and influence. In Liao Liao's view, keeping a small half of Chinese works in his global album will not only fulfill Li Qian's idea of ​​promoting ethnic In addition to cultural obsession, the most important thing is to always remind yourself not to forget your roots!

Therefore, her new album, the initial plan is still six English songs.

Of course, the maximum capacity of an album CD can actually accommodate twelve, or even thirteen or fourteen songs. Therefore, if there are really many good songs, it is not a problem to add one or two more songs. .

…………

Liao Liao's singing came from the audio speakers.

Although it is only a sample, but the recording is quite particular.

Liao Liao was sitting next to Li Qian, Xie Mingyuan was on Li Qian's side, and in the back row were the pretending Liao Min and Sun Meimei.

After each song was played, Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan picked up pens and made marks on the songbook in their hands.

This listening lasted for more than an hour, and a CD was changed in the middle. When the playback ended, Sun Meimei went to open the curtains, and Liao Liao's eyes were already looking back and forth at Li Qian and Xie Mingyuan.

Of the group of people she could trust most, these two were clearly the best when it came to musical ability.

Xie Ming has been traveling in Europe for many years. He is a violin master and has been in charge of Sony Records for many years. He has a deep understanding of global pop music and unique insights. His own musical ability and business vision cannot be underestimated.

And Li Qian...well, needless to say.

At this time, the two of them were slowly turning back their songbooks, as if they were recalling the rhythm and melody of that song one by one as they flipped through.

Xie Mingyuan was the first to turn back to the first page, raised his head, and said, "The first one feels more ordinary."

Li Qian didn't speak, and continued to turn the pages slowly, and finally turned back to the first page. He nodded, "Well, cut this one down!"

Then it was Xie Mingyuan again, "The second song, this country style, I don't think it suits Liao Liao."

Li Qian thought for a while, nodded, "Yes, cut it off too."

Liao Liao was still full of expectations, but when he heard this sentence, he sighed helplessly.

Sun Meimei hid in the back row and laughed.

Li Qian looked over and asked with a smile, "You wrote it?"

Liao Liao nodded.

Xie Mingyuan chuckled, "It's too blunt!"

…………

Review and review, one by one, if there is uncertainty, hesitation, or disagreement between the two, just listen to it again, and discuss its advantages and disadvantages with each other enthusiastically.

The two of them chopping songs were really slashing, which made Sun Meimei feel a little distressed - many of the works in this list were actually specially collected by the record company, and some of them were specially given by friends in the circle. It doesn't matter if you say it's a close relationship, or you say it's a sincere friendship, in short, it's not a simple thing to buy with money, it's all about human feelings!

However, if you say you will die, you will die.

But thinking about it again, this is inevitable.

After all, there are only six English songs in an album, and it can be expanded to seven or eight songs, and Li Qian's works must occupy half, or even more - when he makes a move, it is the work like yesterday, which can be heard The two American queens both cried and gave up in despair. Whether it is Liao Liao or Sun Meimei, they really wish that the whole album could be arranged by Li Qian!

The point is, there is a circle everywhere, and if you want to get along like a fish in water in the circle, you have to go out and make friends! Therefore, if you choose a song written by a friend with a high level, you still need to use two songs!

In contrast, it has to be said that Millie Mayfair is indeed a new generation of queen who has stood out in the European and American music circles in recent years. Her creative ability is indeed quite outstanding!

That guy Jon also had a song, which was highly praised by Xie Mingyuan and Li Qian, but... the style and color of that song were a bit dark, and it was really not suitable for Liao Liao to post.

Not to mention that Liao Liao created a healthy and sunny image in her last album. It is simply not suitable to say that she currently represents the face of the Chinese music scene in the world. A gloomy work like this is not suitable.

Of course, the song is really good!

In the end, twenty-six songs were discussed. In the small notebook recorded by Liao Liao, there was only one song that Xie Mingyuan and Li Qian agreed to use absolutely. There were as many as six spare songs, and the rest Yes, including the wonderful piece by Jon Bridges, all of which were shot down.

Liao Liao looked hopeless.

Judging from her expression, she knew that all of her own works that were anonymously stuffed into these twenty-six songs must have been killed.

This is certainly something to be sad about!

…………

On the same day, at night, in a mansion in Los Angeles.

A private party party.

When Jon Bridges was holding a wine glass in his hand, he was there vividly describing the story of Qian, the lover of the oriental goddess Liao, playing the piano and singing a song that made Serena Twain cry , Among the people listening to the story, there was a middle-aged man who looked thoughtful.

When the story was over, the man went over, put his arm around Jon's shoulders, walked to a place where there were relatively few people, and asked, "Hey, Joe, the Qian you're talking about is the one who made the score for Titanic." Modest?"

There were stories and wine, and there were always audiences beside him. Jon was already drunk, and said immediately after hearing the words: "Yes, that's him! The magical oriental musician!"

The man nodded and said with a smile: "Could you introduce me some other day? You know, I think that if the Mr. Qian you mentioned can take over the matter in my hand, it should be a good result. "

Jon froze for a moment before realizing, "Oh, my God! Disney..."

The man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Trust me, that movie will definitely impress him! My friend, introduce him to me!"
