Perfect Life

In Li Qian's office. ?(?([[

Two cups of tea, two people sitting opposite each other.

Xie Mingyuan's sitting posture was slightly tense, he looked around and asked with a smile, "Last time I heard from President Qi, it is said that the TV series in your hand is about to finish?"

Li Qian nodded, "Come on, by the end of this month, I will try to get it all done!" While speaking, he sighed and smiled helplessly: "However, it's not the end when it's done, there is so much money before and after. If you invest in it, you have to sell the film to get the money back, right?"

Xie Mingyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, although I still don't know how your filming is, but to be honest, you are making money while filming, and the risk is uncontrollable. , compared to your making music, but it's far worse."

Li Qian pursed his lips and smiled.

He understood what Xie Mingyuan was referring to.

So after a while, he replied, "But what if the record won't sell in a few more years?"

Xie Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight, put away his smile, and said solemnly: "When I saw the document you gave me, I wanted to discuss this issue with you. I know you have been there all the time. I'm worried about piracy on the Internet, but...why do you think piracy will harm the music industry so seriously? You know, our country's crackdown on piracy is not as strong as in Europe and the United States, but it has always been a heavy hand! Online piracy , will it be so powerful? Also, with the Internet, everyone just listens to pirated copies in front of the computer? Don’t buy CDs? Don’t buy tapes?”

Li Qian smiled and said, "There are already some mobile phones that can support a variety of complex functions, such as music playback!"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and shook his head, "This time I went to France, I went to buy a mobile phone, and the salesperson also recommended that kind of new mobile phone to me. It is said that the mobile phone can store more than 20 songs. I listened to it at the time, and frankly, That kind of sound quality is simply terrible, it can't be popular! After I went back, I also deliberately searched for relevant information. It is an Internet music format, which is heavily compressed and called mp3. It is characterized by a special volume after compression. Small, easy to store in your phone, but…”

Li Qian suddenly interrupted him and said, "But if one day, a mobile phone, or other equipment, is very portable, so small that it can be as big as a playing card, or even as portable as a key hanger, it is very easy It can be carried with you, but it can provide hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters of storage capacity, so that people who like to listen to songs can store dozens of hundreds of music files with low sound quality, and there is a re-architecture It can restore about 60% to 80% of the music's texture, and can even get closer and closer to the CD-level sound quality... The most important thing is that you only need to buy such a player, and then listen to what song , you can download pirated copies from the Internet for free without spending a penny... What should I do?"

Xie Mingyuan opened his mouth slightly and fell silent.

After a while, he asked: "Will that be the case? Your judgment, I mean, you made this kind of plan at the moment, TV series, movies, variety shows, all rolled out... Is it based on your judgment?"

Li Qian shrugged, leaned on the backrest, and smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, the first official conversation we had after you took office was that I needed to tell you that I think the record market only has a few golden years left. ...Even, maybe only three or four years."

Xie Mingyuan raised his hand and slowly rubbed his chin.

After a while, he asked, "Will it be useful for us to contact the various record companies and ask the government to increase the crackdown on online piracy? I mean...if your judgment is really realized."

Li Qian shrugged again and said, "It's useful! But it's limited."

After a pause, he explained again: "Now, this is not just a domestic problem, in fact, this is a common problem faced by the entire world record industry! In fact, up to now, although I do not have relevant detailed data at hand, but I'm also a frequent surfer, and I've noticed that piracy of music albums is quite serious on the Internet now."

"It's just like you said, firstly, although those mobile phones support mp3 playback, firstly, they are high-end mobile phone functions, the price is too expensive, and they are not popular for the time being, and secondly, their playback sound quality is really bad, so , In a short period of time, in fact, this kind of online piracy has a relatively small impact on the sales of physical records. Most people, even if they buy pirated copies, are still more used to and prefer to listen to tapes and CDs. However, we It should be seen that this is a development direction. In the near future, we can expect that with the advancement of technology and the overcoming of technical difficulties one by one, the online piracy of music is almost uncontrollable. And..."

Having said this, Li Qian paused for a while, then smiled helplessly, and said: "You must know that although CDs are gradually becoming mainstream, most young people still use cassette players, listening to Although tape, mp3, the network format on the computer is heavily compressed, the sound quality is not as good as that of CD, but with a little improvement and some bit rate increase, it will not be worse than tape.”

After a pause, he added: "There is one more point that cannot be ignored, your ears, my ears, we are all used to listening to high-end music equipment, and we ourselves have high requirements for the quality of music, but you You know, most ordinary fans don't have such high requirements for sound quality, and they won't care about the slightly worse sound quality of mp3 when they can save a lot of money on record purchases every year. Yes, compared to tapes and CDs, the format of mp3, or downloading from the Internet, and then playing this way of listening to music is really convenient, far more than listening to netbsp; "So, in general, As long as any big company can complete the resource integration in this regard, and can launch a portable player with sufficient weight and standard that can play mp3, then our world can declare that it has entered the era of online piracy at any time! "

Speaking of which, Li Qian couldn't help but think of which artifact was born in the last life - the iPod!

Apple Computer in this time and space is also a very good company. Although the first company to launch such a portable device may not be them, and this device may not be an iPod, but this trend is no one can reverse it. .

This time, after a long time, Xie Mingyuan asked again, "So, in your opinion, the music industry, or the record industry, is about to become a sunset industry?"

Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "Of course not! Never! People's lives can never be separated from good music! And as long as everyone needs to listen to music, the industry we are engaged in will never decline. The difference It's just that the way we make money has changed."

Xie Mingyuan came here with excitement, but who knows, at the beginning of the conversation between the two, before he asked if Li Qian wanted to have an album, Li Qian poured a big pot on his head. cold water!

For a while, his face was a little ugly, and people couldn't help but fall silent.

The tea soup is clear and bitter.

The tea currently stored in Li Qian's office was recently sent to Xie Bing by Xie Bing's father. It is said that the tea they drank by local tea farmers in Huzhou Prefecture was self-drinking. She likes it, and she doesn't drink tea much. At first, she wondered why her parents suddenly sent her a large bag of tea leaves. Later, Li Qian tasted it once, but she thought it was good, and heard Xie Bing say that this kind of tea is good for her. The stimulation of the voice was very small, so only a small part was left for her, and most of the others were taken to the company.

Xie Bing's parents already knew what happened between them, and they knew about it last summer, so, considering that her parents must know that she doesn't drink tea, Li Qian knows, ten have, that one. The big bag of tea is sent to myself.

Xie Mingyuan drank the tea in the cup, and Li Qian picked up the sea of ​​tea to help him pour it.

After a long time, Xie Mingyuan let out a long sigh with a helpless look on his face.

He came from a musical family and has been making music and records for half his life. Therefore, when he heard Li Qian say that the record industry will soon be destroyed by online piracy, his first reaction was not to believe it, but when Li Qian put him He put out his ideas one by one, but he found that he was completely powerless to refute—that was indeed the future direction of development!

Holding the cup and taking another sip, he looked up at Li Qian and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that He Wei told me that the sales figures of the newcomers launched by the company this year were slightly lower than the company's previous expectations. This matter, You know that, right? Then..."

Li Qian smiled and interrupted him, "You want to ask, is it related to online piracy, right?"

Xie Mingyuan nodded.

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "To say that it is completely irrelevant, it is definitely not. Piracy spread everywhere on the Internet has already begun to have an impact on the physical sales of the record industry, but to say the most fundamental, I don't think this is the case. "

Xie Mingyuan asked, "What is that?"

Li Qian tapped lightly with his fingers on the coffee table a few times, and said with a smile, "I think the main attraction of my music is starting to decline."

After a pause, he explained: "In 1995, the things I took out, for our domestic fans, there are quite a few styles, all of which are very novel, such as "Perseverance", such as the later "The Sound of the Wave" Still", you also came here from that time, I guess at that time, you didn't study these songs of mine less, right?"

Seeing Xie Mingyuan nodding, Li Qian continued: "But now, it's impossible. This world exhibition is too fast, and our connection with foreign countries is also connected with the Internet, with the increasing reach of communication and logistics, trade. It's getting better and faster. Five or six years is enough to make fans lose their freshness to these styles."

"So..." Li Qian took a sip and said, "Everyone still likes good things, but after losing that fresh feeling, their motivation to buy albums will be less. Especially when these people It's still a newcomer. Therefore, Zhuang Meiyue, Zhao Yuan, and Ge Rilen, who is going to be in August, can also be popular and can get up, but it will be slightly lower than our original market expectations. "

Xie Mingyuan nodded, his sitting posture relaxed, and his body slowly leaned on the back of the sand, looking thoughtful.

Li Qian stopped talking, just drank tea slowly, leaving time for him to think.

After a long time, Xie Mingyuan suddenly said again: "Then, what new things are you going to bring out next? Are you ready? Then, what about the overall idea of ​​music in the future? Let's... talk? "

Li Qian smiled, "Okay, let's talk!"

After a pause, he said again: "Even if you don't find me, I will have a deep talk with you!"

Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard the words.

Then, Li Qian said: "Make a new style, yes! On the one hand, it needs to be closer to popular pop, which is actually the way Rose Power is now, and on the other hand, it needs to bring out some new styles to domestic fans."

Xie Mingyuan smiled, "r&b? Hip-hop? Or..."

Li Qian replied: "All."

Xie Mingyuan nodded and asked again: "As soon as Liao Liao's album came out, I knew that you are not only good at what you used to be, you can still be very good at r&b, but there is one thing that must be considered in advance. , that is the degree of recognition and acceptance of r&b and rap in China. Moreover, domestically, there has been no r&b that has been particularly successful before. Who are you going to let the first try? ? How big is the grasp?"

Li Qian smiled and asked, "I myself, okay?"

Xie Mingyuan laughed, but after thinking about it, he still nodded, "You go into battle yourself, I have nothing to worry about, I am also looking forward to your new style, but... are you busy? ?"

Li Qian said with a smile: "There's nothing too busy to come by, next, in July, after finishing the TV series, in August, try to find a way to sell it, and at the same time, Sun Ruoxuan's talk show should be launched earlier. , because there are not many talk shows in China~www.wuxiaspot.com~ go online sooner, so I can get a little more advantage. Then, I want to supervise a few films, but I will not be the director for the time being, I only do Just be a producer, start this winter, and do your best to make an album!"

Xie Mingyuan was shocked when he heard the words, "Do your best to make an album?"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "I haven't been serious about making an album for a long time. Next, make one for myself, one for Emily, and one for each of Xiaobing and Jingxue."

The smile on Xie Mingyuan's face became brighter, and he was simply relaxed.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "That's great, in this case, I'm a good music director!"

But after a pause, he put away his smile, thought for a while, and asked, "So, what's next? In the next few years, in addition to new styles, your thoughts on music, or in other words, right? What is the future exhibition idea of ​​the entire Minghu culture?"
