Li Qian thought for a moment and said: "Last time I gave you a folk song, the response was pretty good, but I still think that this path of folk songs, even if it's popular in the short term, won't last too long. With the development of the times, economic development, and the entry of foreign cultures, the tastes of domestic music fans are also changing. Everyone is liking newer things more and more, such as the fast song I helped Wu Xing Wu Su do. It won't take long before it suddenly explodes in the market, maybe even this year, 96. Or for example, hip-hop, which is very popular abroad but has only been done by a few people domestically and not very successfully. Or RB, also known as R&B. I believe these styles will become more and more popular in the future, but for now, over the next two years, I think folk songs still have a market... so... how about I do another folk song for you?"

  Liao Liao's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and her body unconsciously leaned forward, although the material on her chest wasn't particularly abundant, but as her body tilted forward, the thin dress couldn't cover it, and a water droplet-shaped seductive arc naturally fell down.

  Li Qian subconsciously glanced at him, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that tonight would probably be another one of those dreams that made him want to wash his underwear——the life of a virgin was really hard to bear!

  He let out a sigh and quickly shifted his attention by speaking, "The work is there, but you don't have to be so anxious about it, do you? I'll give it to you later!"

  Liao Liao nodded, satisfied with himself, and sat back down, unaware that his casual movement had stirred up the emotions of a reserved man.

  Li Qian said he had a work, then it must be something he thought was presentable, so Liao Liao didn't worry about the quality at all.

  "What else?"

  Li Qian thought for a moment and said, "If we do it again, from the response of 'Unfinished Love' and 'Half a Jar of Silk', I think in next year's market, this type of Chinese style will gradually heat up, so... how about doing another Chinese-style song?"

  Liao Liao nodded hastily and said: "This is great! It must be done!"

  Li Qian nodded and said, "I have some works here that are still a bit rough. I can do one more song for the new album!"

  Liao Liao nodded again, "Good!"

  Li Qian heard this and burst out laughing, "What I say you just agree with? Is it your album or mine?"

  Liao Liao was taken aback for a moment, then calmly spread his hands and said, "With you helping me worry, everything has been considered. What else do I need to say? I trust you more than I trust myself!"

  Li Qian shook his head and smiled, thinking for a moment before saying: "Your voice isn't suited for singing folk songs, it's a bit of a waste. I think you should sing more, so how about two folk songs?"

  Liao Liao nodded, "No problem!"

  He paused for a moment, as if afraid that Li Qian would think he wasn't taking it seriously. He then added another sentence, "I like folk songs!"

  Li Qian nodded and said, "That's the five songs, right? I'll add one more that's a bit more popular, and then there are four songs. You can collect your own favorite works or just bring out the songs you've written recently?"

  Liao Liao hastily waved his hand, "No, no! Compared to my own work, I still believe in those two big books of yours more! Great hero, benevolent master. Give me a few more poems, okay?"

  Li Qian heard this and shook his head with a smile, saying: "Then can't the whole album be my songs? Don't you plan to invite others for two songs or come up with two yourself? Didn't you just say that you recently wrote two good works?"

  Liao Liao waved his hand and said, "No! I want yours!"

  She paused for a moment, then said: "The one I wrote myself... I'll save it first. Save it, and next time I'll sing an invitation to you again, and when you're tired of it, I'll use my own song!"

  Li Qian heard this and chuckled, thought for a moment, and said: "Alright! Since you want it. I'll just wrap it up for you, no big deal! Let's do another folk song, that makes six... Do you want to try rock? If your vocals are fully unleashed, singing rock should be very energetic!"

  As soon as he heard this, Liao Liao's eyes sparkled even brighter than before!

  "Do you like rock and roll? Can you do rock and roll?"

  Li Qian pouted, "Isn't that a waste of words? Although 'Zhí Zhuó' and 'Wild Flower' are light rock and slightly pop-influenced, aren't they still rooted in rock at their core? Why can't I do rock?"

  Liao Liao clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling brightly, and her body unconsciously leaned in closer. As a result, Li Qian's eyes once again, intentionally or unintentionally, were forced to... well, they saw that enticing arc-shaped water droplet again.

  "Give me two rock songs."

  Generally speaking, rock music is something that anyone who makes music loves, and it can even be said that there's no one who isn't passionate about it! Because music is originally an art form of external expression, a way to directly convey emotions to the audience through sound, instruments, melody, and lyrics. And when it comes to expressing emotions externally, is there anything more extreme than rock?

  Li Qian just smiled, and in the instant he lowered his head, he casually raised his second leg to cover up some unscrupulous things, before saying: "Then I'll do two!"

  Bang!

  Liao's eyes sparkled with excitement as he slapped his palm suddenly.

  "It's settled then!"

  She stretched out her hand, bending her fingers to count, "Two rock songs, one folk song, two folk ballads, one light rock song, one Chinese style song, and... oh, plus one pop song? That's only eight songs in total! What about the other two?"

  Li Qian thought for a moment and said, "Can't lose the balance! Adding three rock songs together... You have to know that rock music, light rock is okay, but if the style is slightly heavier, it will affect the young audience's perception to some extent, it will affect their enthusiasm for buying albums. So... hmm, let's add a folk song! And then, let's add a pop song too, after all, the path of pop music is still the most popular one!"

  Liao Liao thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, it's settled then! You'll give me the song later, and I'll go back to Shun Tian Fu to practice singing honestly!"

  Li Qian nodded and said "good".

  At this time, Qi Jie, who had been watching from the side, looked at one and then the other, saying: "Is that it? You've reached an agreement just like that? An entire album comes out of it?"

  Liao Liao smiled upon hearing this, "Are you surprised? I'm telling you, it's not easy to make an album with him. If it were someone else, do you think it would be so simple? Not to mention other things. Last time before I came to Jinan and met him, that album wasn't even half done after working on it for over half a year, and he still wasn't quite satisfied."

  Qijie nodded slightly as if she understood, "Oh".

  But a moment later, she turned her head to look at Liao Liao and said: "Hey, Old Liao, we've bought your entire album in one breath. You have to tell your company that the price can't be lower than this!"

  Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, staring at her foolishly, and couldn't speak for a long time.

  Qī Jié shrugged her shoulders, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just doing my job!"

  …………

  Chatting and laughing, hehe haha.

  Three people chatted and forgot about the time, until Qijie suddenly remembered to look at her watch, only to find that it was already past one o'clock in the morning - outside the window, the snow fell silently, and the world between heaven and earth was quiet.

  During this time, Liao Liao and Qi Jie had a war of words, and they even verbally agreed on the price for Li Qian's help with this album: it was still a percentage split - 8% for sales below 3 million copies, 10% for sales between 3-5 million copies, and 12% for sales above 5 million copies.

  Because there was a contract with Wu Su in the past, this price is even somewhat friendly. However, considering that Liao Liao has now become famous and cannot be compared to Wu Su who was struggling at the time, overall, this price is basically beneficial for both parties and can be accepted by both sides.

  Of course. If you add the original share agreement between Liao Liao and Changsheng Records, if her next album really sells more than 5 million copies, Li Qian and Liao Liao will directly take away more than 24% of the share from album sales. This is a huge loss for any record company, so it's definitely hard to negotiate with Changsheng Records.

  Li Qian understood this very well, although Liao Liao repeatedly said she would help persuade the company, if all else failed, she would rather reduce her own share ratio to make up for it. Li Qian still insisted that this was just a bargaining chip, and if Changsheng Records really refused to budge, they could gradually decrease the price according to what was previously agreed upon, even decreasing by 2% was acceptable. After all, they were old friends, and everyone's goal was to make good music, so it didn't matter about this bit of money.

  Of course... if we compromise to this point and Chang Sheng Records is still reluctant, then the verbal agreement will be cancelled. We can wait until Liao Liao's contract with Chang Sheng Records expires, and then cooperate on her next album.

  It's late at night, and the cooperation of the new album has basically been settled. Qijie and Liao Liao took Liao Liao's things and were about to leave.

  Li Qian originally thought that before leaving, Liao Liao would definitely ask him about the two songs he wanted to listen to, but in fact, when the two girls were talking earlier, Li Qian was also considering which specific songs to choose. However, unexpectedly, until the two of them left the house, Liao Liao seemed to have forgotten about it and didn't mention a word.

  They went to the opposite door, Li Qian closed the door and couldn't help but sigh.

  This is Liao Liao!

  The more she came into contact with her, the more Li Qian discovered that although she was always laughing and joking, seemingly without a care in the world, and appeared to be a straightforward and optimistic northeastern girl, in reality, she was actually a very meticulous person.

  From the initial 400,000 yuan to buy five songs at a high price, on the one hand, it moved herself, and on the other hand, it forced Changsheng Records to not abandon the five expensive songs. The idea of killing two birds with one stone that came to mind in an instant has now become a verbal agreement for cooperation on a new album, and both parties can fully trust each other in this cooperation. However, before signing the contract, she tactfully didn't ask herself about the song's copyright...

  Even Li Qian, an old bird, had to admit that Liao Liao, this girl, did things in a way that made people have to praise her for being meticulous and wise beyond her years.

  So, a person can achieve success in a certain industry, and while there may be an element of luck involved, even if you exclude luck, the person who succeeded would still have succeeded.

  Success never happens by chance!

  Li Qian sighed and was about to calm down, wash his feet and go to sleep when he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door.

  He went over with some suspicion and opened the door, surprisingly it was Liao Liao.

  "Did you forget to bring something?" Li Qian asked.

  Liao Liao's face twisted in a mixture of embarrassment and entanglement, he hummed for half a day before finally opening his mouth with great difficulty: "That... I really can't hold it in anymore. Although I know this isn't very good, but... could you at least show me one song? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be tossing and turning all night and won't be able to sleep!"

  Li Qian heard this and was slightly surprised, his mouth opening slightly.

  Gotcha! I was just kidding you earlier!
