Cao Zhan is an author of this level, in the popular music scene not the top, but definitely second-tier first-line, of course, why he is not one of the top people, it's not that his works are not good enough, or that he can't write good enough things.

  But however

  Firstly, his works have a strong tendency towards artisticization, and if you listen to them carefully along the timeline, you'll find that it's getting more and more serious. Especially in recent years, his music has become more profound and unique... What is meant by "unique" is that insiders in the music industry will be amazed, but if you let a singer turn it into an album for sale, sorry to say, ordinary people won't be able to appreciate its brilliance, they'll just think, hmm, not catchy enough!

  Secondly, as a songwriter, he has never written a song that can make someone famous with just one song.

  Of course, even with such a serious problem, in the domestic popular music scene, he is still a musician who no singer and record company dares to underestimate.

  It's just that his price didn't reach the highest.

  Li Qian took back his song "Love Me!" and faxed it to Li Jinlong, who was busy recording accompaniment in Shuntian Prefecture. After receiving the fax, Li Jinlong immediately called back with great enthusiasm, highly praising the work.

  Then, in the afternoon of the same day, a cash transfer of 1.2 million had already been remitted to Cao Zhan's account.

  However, compared with Cao Zhen, Li Qian currently does not have a suitable position in the music scene.

  His works are few, just starting out, with only five songs.

  But coincidentally, these five songs appeared on the same album and all topped the Chinese Music Chart! Moreover, they are currently ranked first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

  This obviously represents absolute creative power.

  What's even more astonishing is that these five known works of his, belong to three small music categories - light rock, folk and Chinese style, which obviously represents a comprehensive strength.

  So, saying he is the top-notch songwriter in the domestic music scene, no one would have any objections. But, even for those top-tier people, there's always a rough price tag, while Li Jian's works are priceless.

  Even so, except for a handful of people who are particularly keen. Currently in the domestic music scene, although there are countless people, countless singers, and countless record companies that want to get in touch with him, want to get works from him, but even if they bend over backwards, really can get in touch with him, there are still only a handful of people.

  Yes, the price Liao Liao gave him for those five songs is no longer a secret in the circle. The problem is that facing him now, not to mention 80,000 yuan per song, there are people willing to grab it even if it's 180,000!

  Are you trying to offend someone with 80,000?

  So on the second day, after Cao Zhan called to take away Li Qian's account, there were 300,000 more in his bank card!

  This handwriting is obviously not small!

  Even with the addition of a composition fee, among domestic songwriters, excluding those who receive royalties, there are only seven or eight authors who can get this price.

  Obviously, He Runkui extremely likes this song "Half a Jar of Silk".

  However, when Li Qian went to the bank to check his account and found that he had received such a large sum of money, he called Cao Zhan and laughed, saying it was too much. Cao Zhan just slowly said: "It's not bad for them to be not too stupid."

  Li Qian smiled and paid for it.

  Yes, they're not too stupid after all.

  It was originally possible to become a good relationship, but because of the rigid way the other party invited songs, it made Cao Zhan and Li Qian both feel uncomfortable. It's equivalent to offending two authors with one song at the same time, and they are not weak in terms of strength. This approach is obviously not smart.

  Li Qian's response was to give them a song that was excellent in both lyrics and melody, but which had not achieved corresponding success in the market during his lifetime.

  Is "Half a Loaf" a good work?

  Of course.

  Will "Half a Fairy" definitely be popular?

  That's not necessarily true.

  However, after the other party received the work, although it is absolutely impossible to detect the small buried pitfalls that Li Qian had made on the work, whether it was He Runying or the musicians around her, they would only repeatedly praise this Zen-like Chinese-style work by Li Qian. But they seemed to have also detected that their previous approach was somewhat inappropriate and easy to leave a small knot in the other party's heart, so there was such a high song usage right buyout fee.

  Li Qian... accepted with a smile.

  At least helped Cao Zhan return a favor, got such a large sum of money, and finally dug a not-so-big hole for others... what more do you want?

  In addition, in the days without Teresa Teng, he was a fan of He Rundong.

  However, the sudden appearance of 300,000 yuan in his account set Li Qian's heart racing once again.

  Buy a car? Not buy a car?

  …………

  Eight o'clock in the evening.

  Li Qian could only helplessly sigh again after listening to the six songs he had recorded earlier from the beginning.

  It's not that it's completely lacking in sensuality, but rather, the tone is just too low.

  According to Li Qian's plan, in the current domestic popular music scene where there has never been a successful female group, the new album he is creating for Wu Xing Wu Su must have fast songs and slow songs, with youthful style and children's songs. It can be said that it has strong inclusiveness and does not really define a very clear path for this combination.

  But the tone must be high!

  Just for this, just to unify the various styles of works in the entire album, he even took out a classic work that can almost certainly be determined to appear and will shock everyone, at least let people pass it down for decades.

  So, absolutely cannot let these low-taste works drag down the entire album's... aura.

  Think about it, in this album of Five Elements Music, there are memories of childhood, encouragement and guidance for children, a more courageous view of love for young girls, charming Chinese style, beautiful and vibrant young girls, magnificent and elegant masterpieces that have been sung for centuries, and even some exotic flavors... At this time, suddenly a song that can't help but move one's hips and buttocks pops up, it really is a bit too much of a drop in style!

  After some hesitation, Li Qian turned to the third page of the simple song list and made a tick on the paper.

  Charge! Charge! Charge!. I'll just leave this one song behind.

  Although it's just an ordinary mouthwatering song, although it can't enhance anything, under the foil of those powerful songs, it's not enough to bring any negative impact. It can be ignored while making up numbers, and at the same time save production costs for the record company, and also save a song for itself... This is its greatest significance.

  It's just that I've decided to continue using this one, plus the recent acquisition of "Love Me!" from Cao Zhan. Adding to the five songs that have already been taken out, Wu Su's album only has seven songs.

  So at least three more songs are needed!

  Yes, of course, these three songs, Li Qian had already made preparations, and even the arrangement was done, just waiting for the previous five songs to be recorded, and then they can be released together with Cao Zhan's "Love Me!"

  After making up his mind to use "Charge! Charge! Charge!", Li Qian put down the songbook and pen, walked over to turn off the portable CD player and amplifier, poured himself a glass of water, then carried the glass back to sit down again, preparing to write another tune before going to sleep.

  Because the contract with Huaying Records has been signed, Wu Suo currently has a new song and is practicing it repeatedly. Li Jindong is recording accompaniment in Shuntianfu, so Li Qian's time is much more relaxed compared to when he recorded two songs before. He only needs to go once every other day to guide Wu Suo on one song.

  Adding Saturday and Sunday all day, this progress schedule is already fast enough.

  Preliminary estimate. Li Jinlong's side needs to thoroughly complete the accompaniment of five songs, which will take at least two weeks, and that's assuming Li Qian doesn't ask for a re-recording.

  So, in the midst of a tense study life, Li Qian finally had some time to write songs again.

  Moreover, recently, although being disturbed by the sudden acceleration of footsteps. But for some reason, Li Qian felt that his creation was even more abundant, and he wrote out some fragmented songs recently, which he hummed back to himself when reviewing them, and even he himself thought they were quite stunning - speaking with the conscience of a musician with a 20-year history of creation, this is not self-flattery.

  And so, Li Qian has recently decided to try stringing these scattered songs together to find inspiration and strive to write his second mature work after coming to this time and space as soon as possible.

  Yes, his first work is called "Facing the Sea with Spring Blooms".

  So at this time there was still a while before sleep, he picked up his guitar and tried to start composing.

  But before he could gather his thoughts, a noise from outside the door interrupted him.

  "Slow down, slow down, I've been raising this pot of flowers for ten years, don't hit it..."

  "Hey, no, put this here, put it here..."

  Li Qian's brain, which was originally extremely excited, suddenly became a bit dull, and with just these few words, all his thoughts and inspiration were instantly disrupted.

  "When I get into university in the future, I must buy a house near the university and make the soundproofing top-notch!" He thought helplessly to himself, then shook his head and continued to play the strings.

  But then, with a loud crack.

  "What's going on with you guys? You're supposed to be professional movers!"

  "Sister, this third floor of yours has no elevator, and you're only giving us 300 yuan. That's an old broken-down thing, we'd be doing well to move it up here for you!"

  "What's wrong with you?!"

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he's just a kid, doesn't know how to talk, don't be angry, it's just... you know, no other meaning, three hundred is really a bit little, or else, can you add fifty more? Oh, of course, of course, this broken one, we'll compensate for the money, absolutely compensate!"

  “……”

  Okay, Li Qian reluctantly put down his guitar.

  Then he took a sip of water, walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole.

  The opposite door is open, and several people are moving things in.

  About seven or eight days ago, a young couple who used to live across the hall moved away. From then on, Li Qian knew that he would soon be welcoming new neighbors.

  After some thought, he picked up the key and opened the door to go out.

  "What's with the move?"

  The woman who was directing the movers in the room suddenly turned her head around, and then the two of them stared at each other, both frozen in place.
