Perfect Life

Vol 4 Chapter 163: decision

Minghu Culture Company, ninth floor, editing room.

After finishing a large section, Li Qian looked back twice, nodded with satisfaction, "Great!" Then, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked at his watch, he smiled and said, "Liu, take a rest, everyone It's been two hours."

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

Da Liu and Liu Qing, who are not yet thirty years old this year, have entered the industry halfway, but Yu Bojun's films in the last two or three years have been edited by him, and the work is quite good. "Legend of the White Snake", Li Qian borrowed it and cut it up to now, less than 20% of the work has been done, but it can already be seen that he belongs to the kind of person with special aura. Simply put, there is talent.

When he went out, Li Qian rubbed his eyes again, and leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner. After a short rest, he sat up and wanted to go through the work just now, but unknowingly he remembered John in the morning. The matter of Dais and Michael Johnson's coming, couldn't help but get a little distracted.

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 be more important, so as long as things in the United States are important enough, then of course, if you don't have time, you can make time to put everything on the table. 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 if it is not able to 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. There is no way, no way. It is not an easy task for oriental singers to go to the western world to sell well!

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 of the Chinese cultural circle itself is big enough, but in fact, people who are a little more expert will understand, Today's world is still a world in which Western culture occupies a dominant position.

To put it simply, no matter how well you do Chinese music, you can only sell it in the Chinese cultural circle. When you arrive in the United States, you can sell it 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 of only English-speaking cultural circles is many times larger than that of Chinese-speaking cultural circles.

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

Therefore, making an English-based album for Liao Liao or He Runqing has always been planned, but this opportunity came a little suddenly.

Therefore, Li Qian really did not want to miss this opportunity.

Li Qian or Liao Liao, of course it's OK to talk to Rolling Stone Records by themselves. After all, they are no longer ordinary people. It is normal to want to enter the global market and make an English album, but the conditions and treatment, We have to talk about it slowly, the loss is certain, but now, because of the addition of the big boat, considering the influence of 20th Century Fox and Time Warner behind it, and considering that this album will be titled "My-heart" -will-go-on" is the title song, and you can borrow a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions. It will definitely have a great propaganda campaign. For Rolling Stone Records, in terms of conditions, it will not be overwhelmed. So powerful.

This matter is of great benefit to the three parties!

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

Li Qian rubbed the stubble on his chin slightly, and was a little hesitant.

He really put too much effort into this play, and really wanted to see how it was finally completed earlier.

Moreover, a lot of money has been invested in this drama before and after. To be honest, even Li Qian, who is most confident in it, feels a lot of pressure, and every day that passes, the 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 suffocating at the window.

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

Li Qian walked over, "Da Liu, do you still have a cigarette? Give me one."

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

Take a deep breath and spit it out.

The setting sun outside the window is full of sky, and the whole street and the whole city seem to be covered with a layer of golden light.

In the distance, there are high-rise buildings.

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

After a while, Liu Qing finished smoking. Seeing Li Qian's thoughtful appearance, he didn't bother and walked straight away. Li Qian didn't even notice it, he just kept smoking cigarettes until the smoke burned. Only cigarette 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 age, in the field of editors, his qualifications are very low, but he is very devoted to his work. The outline given by Li Qian, plus an extremely important scene script for reference , Basically, what he has cut, Li Qian only needs to look at it again, and roughly adjust the details to be OK. In some places, Li Qian doesn't even need to adjust the adjustment.

To be honest, if he wasn't from Yu Bojun, Li Qian would have already started poaching.

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

Liu Qing happily agreed, "Okay."

So Li Qian got up and left the ninth floor.

In his office on the eighth floor, Zhou Concubine didn't know when he came. Li Qian pushed open the door and went in, stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Didn't say hello."

Zhou Ai was reading a magazine and listening to a song. When she saw 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, put his arms around her on the sofa, and rubbed her cheeks. The son kissed and said, "Old Zou wants to do it, and Sony wants to do it too. I guess it's because Liao Liao made too much money last year? Then you can do it."

After a pause, he said again: "It just so happens that the contract you signed with Sony will expire in the second half of this year. If you complete this concert tour around the summer vacation, it means you don't owe Sony anything. I think it's pretty good... Didn't Lao Zou say you would like to?"

Zhou Hao shrugged, flipped through the magazine in her hand, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

Li Qian was about to speak when his computer suddenly rang on the desk. Li Qian got up and looked over. It was an instant email. In China, QQ has already had a very strong installed capacity and usage rate, and it is almost a monopoly. Of course, Li Qian is a firm supporter of QQ, a domestic instant chat software. However, Xie Mingyuan went to France last year. Before leaving, he left Li Qian his contact email address. Li Qian also installed a foreign instant chat software. Chat software, in the past six months, the two of them have been in contact with Xie Mingyuan almost every once in a while, 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 the time: "Thank you! Is the old man in good health? How does it feel to spend this Spring Festival in France?"

After a while, Xie Mingyuan replied: "It's okay! It's just that I'm going home recently!"

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, but his fingers didn't drop. Then, he raised his head to look at Zhou Ai, who happened to be looking at him too. The two looked at each other. Zhou Ai closed the magazine and asked, "Is something 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, "Do it, your concert will be too. Don't think about it, it's just a bit of hard work. It's done in a few months. As for me, I'm going to go out recently. I'm going to the United States to pick up the soundtrack of an American movie. At the same time, I'll take advantage of this movie to make Liao Liao first. Push it out and let her go to the world to give you a trip first."

Zhou Hao blinked and said nothing.

Li Qian got up and walked over, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about it too clearly yet, whether to stick to this market, work hard, and lay a solid foundation, or go out now. Step 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 I can’t go wrong, so I decided to go. This step. It's only half a year's work, just right, let me see how Sony will play this game of chess, even if it's... a late attack!"

Zhou Cong squinted at him, and when he finished talking at length, then he looked back, as if he didn't listen at all, and said, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. ... Well, then I'll go and give it to me. You work as a coolie for months."

Li Qian smiled and said: "Actually, a few months later, when your contract with Sony expires completely, it's not impossible for us to do it ourselves, there is no reason for Sony to split 30% of it all at once, but, how can I say it... ...I don't want to do this kind of thing that takes advantage of everything, even if the opponent is Sony, my main opponent, I don't want to take advantage of them, so if Sony wants to squeeze a little more profit from you, then let He squeezes it! When they get the money, in my heart, I don't think I owe it."

Zhou Ai smiled, "Guess what?"

Li Qian raised his brows and looked at her. She smiled and leaned over, kissed him loudly, and said with a smile, "I just like you!"

…………

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

Now that things are settled, my heart is open.

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

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

Li Qian said: "I want to pick up the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie, on the condition 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 release it globally. Therefore, I may be leaving for the United States, Europe and the United States in a few days. It's your site, 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 here, and he will notify Qi Jie when he turns around, and he can talk to John Days about the treatment.

Then, a big mess at home naturally requires some effort to arrange them one by one.

Jin Han's new film "On the Road" has basically finalized the cast and crew, and it is only a few days before the final crew is established. Li Qian is of course relieved that Han Shunzhang will be his big housekeeper. So...of course, Huang Wenjuan must still be sent out to join the team with the two financial officers, responsible for keeping the money bag tight, so that Li Qian is more at ease.

He Runqing's concert has already started preparations after the new year. At this point, Minghu Culture has already had a very successful example ahead. With Qi Jie and the others in charge of everything, Li Qian can be relieved.

As for the debut albums of several newcomers... It's not always easy for newcomers to make their debut, but fortunately, their albums, from Zhuang Meiyue to Gerileng to Zhao Yuan, all followed Li Qian from the beginning. . Most of the songs in their album are also given by himself, so he is also confident about the quality of the album itself, so the basic sales are definitely not bad, as for whether it can be a big hit~www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Then it often depends on the choice of the market, not what you can decide.

It was... Wang Jinglu was a little worried.

So, he was clearly the one who went out, left his hometown and left home, but before he went out, he was the one who repeatedly warned Wang Jinglu of this and that——

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

"Know it!"

"Everything about the house is based on the drawings anyway. If you feel unsure, ask Teacher Qi to give you a reference. If both of you are unsure, then how expensive is it? At most, let someone kill it. It’s better to regret later than using poor materials.”

"Know it!"

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

"Know-dao--!" (To be continued.)
