Perfect Life

Vol 2 Chapter 37: Taking shape

Night, the editorial room of Artist Weekly.

The lamp above the head is bright, but there are only a few people in the editing room who are still rushing manuscripts.

Hu Lifu was smoking a cigarette, letting the smoke condense into a cloud of smoke above his head, but he just frowned tightly.

The computer screen was on, the blank document was open for a long time, but he still didn't write a word.

Next to the keyboard, is a large notebook, which is being spread out at the moment. It is full of news reports cut from various newspapers and magazines, about Liao Liao, about He Runqing, and about Wuxingwusu. of. They were carefully sorted by Hu Lifu, and they were posted one by one in chronological order.

For ordinary readers or fans, these are just some normal reports about their favorite singers, or they may be contrasting, sensational, or amazed.

However, in the eyes of an expert, for example, Hu Lifu, in his eyes, this is not just a simple report of a few singers selling their albums. Behind these reports, there is a genius and a thrilling wrestling.

And now, what he wants to do is to sort out these stories hidden behind the reports that are not known to ordinary people, and to organize the genius who has always been hidden behind the scenes and the awesome things he has done. , made public.

About him, about the super collision of the three domestic female voices in the early summer of this year, there is some information, and the clues are also in his mind. Hesitating.

It is not difficult to write it out, but the difficulty is in the current social environment, how to get the editor-in-chief to agree to publish his own manuscript

After all, although everyone in the industry knows his strength and status, he is not well known in the public. And, to be honest, there is hardly any news breaking point.

He hadn't finished smoking a cigarette, and another person in the editing room was busy. Turn off the computer, say hello to the few remaining people, push the door and leave.

Hu Lifu sighed, suddenly felt a little sore in his waist, and couldn't help feeling that he was really old. Especially in the line of editors and reporters, who often stay up late to write manuscripts, and he is only in his early thirties, and he already has a feeling of old age.

He shook his head, raised his hand to snuff out the **** of the cigarette, and was about to return to the question he had just thought about when suddenly, a flash of light flashed by, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He slapped his thigh sharply, and he quickly dropped his hand on the keyboard. Began typing.

"What were you doing when you were eighteen"

This is the first line.

That's right, the selling point is here.

Nothing is more convincing and more explosive than age.

Although in the past year, it has nothing to do with age, just the things that that person has done are already strong enough, and in Hu Lifu's heart, it is enough to support his "in-depth report". But no, to attract readers, or to put it bluntly. If you want the editor-in-chief to pass and give the page, you have to catch some gimmicks that are more likely to arouse the curiosity of the public. Is it scary enough? Is it attractive enough?

Hu Lifu felt that it must be enough.

then. All his energy was quickly devoted to the computer in front of him, and the sound of typing was crackling. Although the introduction of computer office in China has only been in the past two years, newspapers, magazines and other writing institutions must be an earlier batch, and, As a well-known veteran editor of Artists Weekly, Hu Lifu was one of the first to be specially approved to be equipped with a computer for office work. Naturally, his typing speed has been practiced long ago.

So, after about two hours, he was the only one left in the entire editing room, and finally, an article with a length of five or six thousand words was finally completed under his hands.

Looking back at it, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Pulling the document to the front, he hesitated for a long time, and typed a line in the blank of the title. He is only eighteen years old, and his student is Liao Liao.

After he finished writing, he checked it again and felt that there were no mistakes, so he saved it, and then sent an email directly to the editor-in-chief.

The next morning when he came to the newspaper office, Hu Lifu put down his things and didn't even bother to drink water, so he knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief.

"Editor-in-chief, the article I sent you yesterday"

The editor-in-chief's surname is Su, he is fat, and he belongs to the chubby and chubby style.

When he looked up and saw Hu Lifu, he frowned and said unceremoniously, "Old Hu, are you making trouble?"

"Uh" Hu Lifu was stunned when he heard the words, "How do you say that?"

We have worked with each other for many years and are very familiar with each other, so Fatty Su is not polite, and directly approves, "You are the old editor of our weekly newspaper, do you still know what I mean when you say you made this, can I post it? Does anyone like to watch it? I know, I don’t need you to tell me, whether it is the history of Liao Liao’s rise, or the **** stories of Wuxing Wusu, they are all good materials, but you can’t misplace the focus. Ah, who can focus on Liao Liao, Wuxing Wusu, even He Runqing, but if you write about Li Qian, go to the street and ask, who knows who Li Qian is?"

Hu Lifu licked his dry lips, hesitated, and said, "What do you mean?"

Fatty Su just said: "I mean, I mean your manuscript, it's dead."

Hu Lifu was silent.

After a while, he tentatively asked: "Is it okay to give a secondary page? Or, I'll cut it out for you to give a half page."

Fatty Su looked at him, with a look of hating iron but not steel, and sighed: "Old Hu, you are such a brain, really look at you, how many new editors, the writing is far worse than yours, that analysis Your ability is also far worse than yours, but who doesn't earn more money than you? You are an old editor, and you let a bunch of newcomers step on you. Do you know why they earn more than you? Because they understand a very simple truth. , that is, the manuscripts that can be published are good manuscripts, what manuscripts are good to publish, can get bonuses, hotspots, hotspots, hotspots”

After a pause, he glared at Hu Lifu and said, "You go back and rewrite the manuscript. Just write, anyway, the main point of view and the protagonist must not be Li Qian, as for Liao Liao. , and then, let me play chess or the next issue, and I will give you half of the version. Right. You know this circle very well, and you have a very in-depth understanding. Regarding the comeback of Zhou Hao, you don't Willing to write an in-depth interpretation or something"

Hu Lifu hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said: "Well, I'll go back and rewrite it. It's this Zhou Hao, I won't **** it from them, Zhou Hao's things, I guess everyone can steal it."

Fatty Su glanced at him helplessly. He sighed and waved his hand, "Then you go"

Hu Lifu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say "please think about it again". He turned to go out and closed the door. He saw Zheng Guochang smiling at him from a distance, so he shook his head helplessly.

Zheng Guochang came over and asked with a smile, "The manuscript is dead."

Hu Lifu nodded, "Shut up, let me rewrite it. When writing the history of Liao Liao's rise, you cannot write about Li Qian."

Zheng Guochang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The situation is like this. The common people know who the producer is, they care who writes the song. As long as the song is good, just remember who sang it."

Hu Lifu nodded and smiled helplessly, "Then write Liao Liao."

Liao Liao went viral, Huang Yuqing went viral, and He Runqing terminated the contract. Zhou Ai came back.

Li Qian's studio has opened.

Before the official opening, Qi Jie had already started planning to recruit people. After the studio officially opened, the recruitment advertisement of Li Qian's studio was soon published in several newspapers.

Of course, this type of recruitment is for clerks, front desks, and professional managers.

At present, the studio has only roughly put up a basic office shelf. In fact, the specific music business cannot be carried out for the time being. As the boss, Li Qian can only take time to go to Longevity Records to give Lin Xiufeng. A few of their supervisory productions are considered to be earning a little extra money, but the ordinary staff who should be recruited still have to be in place as soon as possible.

So, for the next week or so, Li Qian was busy working as a producer at Changsheng Records, while Qi Jie stayed in the studio every day, responsible for contacting and interviewing candidates.

By the beginning of October, people were basically recruited.

The first is a professional manager named Duan Yuguo. He is 33 years old. He looks very calm. He worked as a financial reporter for a few years before resigning. Managers, recruit him, mainly in charge of personnel and administrative management. At present, his ability is not obvious, but his work is slow and fast, and he is very organized. Li Qian also met and felt very satisfied, so he was appointed as the back office supervisor, with a monthly salary of 8,000 and bonuses.

Then there are one treasurer and cashier, one accountant, one front desk, and two clerks.

Including Li Qian, the music director, Qi Jie, the general manager, and Li Jinlong, the artist department manager who plans to go to work in the studio by the end of October, there are a total of nine people in Li Qian's studio, and the framework is initially set up.

Of course, at present, the studio basically has no substantive business, so for Qi Jie, it is to start to gradually exercise and learn management skills, and for the new group of people who join the studio, the main business is That is to say, there are two major parts: first, keep an eye on, sort out, and summarize the dynamics of the entertainment industry, especially the music world; second, keep track of the arrival of the batch of equipment that the company has ordered.

But in any case, everyone has gradually become familiar with it, and the work that is currently extremely easy at hand has begun to gradually get used to it. Moreover, as they become more and more familiar, when everyone hears that after the New Year's Day, the most famous music in today's music circle. After the singer Liao Liao will sign a contract with the studio, the passion and confidence are at an all-time high. Obviously, everyone knows that a newly established studio can actually attract big names like Liao Liao to join. degree of optimism

That is to say, at least the job that he has just got so far will not be lost soon. At least, this studio doesn't seem like the kind of thing that's going to close in the blink of an eye

And then, when Liao Liao, who came back after going out to participate in several commercial performances, really came to the studio, after proving that Mr. Qi's words were not made up, the situation seemed to become clearer.

A Liao Liao is not enough to support this small studio. Everyone knows that big singers can make money very well.

In fact, Liao Liao's attitude is very modest, so modest that a group of 20-year-old boys and girls are surprised to sign autographs, autograph photos, and group photos. No problem, group photos in the studio are no problem.

Of course, the biggest problem at present is that it has been several weeks, and these newly recruited people, except for Duan Yuguo, the only manager-level person, have not seen the boss yet.

People just heard he's still in college, and he seems to be spending all his spare time doing albums for other people lately. Then, um, it is said that the boss is handsome and has a great position in the circle.

In fact, when he just recruited people, at the first plenary meeting, Qi Jie first showed his boss's resume. , his great deeds are easily remembered by the new staff of the studio.

Well, several albums and singles related to Li Qian. In short, a total of twenty-four songs in all his works have been listed, including three albums and one single, all of which have been distributed to everyone for free by Qi Jie One serving per person.

There are no other advantages to working in this studio. The biggest advantage is that you can listen to songs openly while you are at work, and even Qi Jie, the general manager, simply put forward relevant rigid requirements, which is to require all work Personnel, at least listen to the twenty-four songs several times. You don't need to know how to sing.

Of course, in fact, those songs have been popular all over the country in the past year. Even if she doesn't ask the young men and women in the ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ company, most of them have heard it.

So, why Liao Liao came to this studio is clear.

So, I originally thought that the singers were amazing, but these laypeople, who were completely ignorant of the so-called producers, had a deeper understanding of the greatness of the studio owner.

Well, in Liao Liao's words, Qi Jie's brainwashing work is quite good.

In mid-October, the first batch of music equipment ordered by the company arrived, and they were busy talking for several days. All the installation and debugging were completed. Facing those musical instruments, recording equipment, and electronic equipment, laymen in the whole studio did not understand. Immediately, I felt that the image of this studio became more and more tall.

However, at this time, when music, gossip, and the boss's great deeds evolved into the rhythm of the studio's life, the studio suddenly ushered in a man wearing a The mysterious guest in sunglasses.

Hurry up and hurry up, it's still after twelve o'clock. To be continued.
