Inside the listening room, many people who were originally extremely surprised also regained their composure and sat back calmly.

  Although no singer has released a nursery rhyme class work in their own album in the domestic music market before, people familiar with this area understand that the nursery rhyme market is actually always there and quite large. In an album of ten to twelve works, taking out one to try the water is not too much.

  And such a nursery rhyme that is not only excellent in both lyrics and melody, but also full of positive energy, is sung by Wu Suo, a group composed of five young and beautiful girls. They actually managed to bring out a hint of heavenly and sacred flavor... You can't help but think that this is quite a brilliant idea!

  Just think about it, if Wu Yifan can become the big sister in the hearts of hundreds of millions of young people across the country... how many fans they will have in the future is another matter, at least for now, this will definitely make this album a bestseller!

  Besides, nursery rhymes have never appeared before. Is it like the previous one, "Sister and Brother Get Up", is it just some ordinary goods that can be seen on the road?

  Li Qian's music journey has been a winding one, from folk to light rock, then from light rock to a new Chinese style, and from there to youth fast song, and finally from youth fast song to children's songs... The path may be strange, but at least according to the judgment of so many professional ears in the recording studio, no one dares to say that he absolutely can't make it work!

  …………

  Soon, "Let's Row" was over.

  For a moment, the listening room fell into thorough silence, forming the most striking contrast with the noise before playback began!

  General Manager Huang Dazhong was absent-minded for a moment, exchanged a glance with Du Xiaoming beside him, and then said: "No need to go to the conference room, it seems that everyone is a little excited, just here, what do you think, say it."

  As they spoke, he and Du Xiaoming stood up one after another and walked towards the front of the audition seats.

  At this time, Wu Su saw his sisters standing in a row at the door, hand in hand. He pointed to them and said: "You go out first and wait for the result outside."

  The sisters had no choice but to reluctantly open the door and leave.

  Large companies have their own rules, and in events like this audition meeting, it's inevitable that people from various departments will comment on the work, both positively and negatively. It's better if the singer doesn't hear these comments, after all, they're just two small samples, and no matter what others say, it's all about considering the work and future sales. If some people have a narrow mind and end up holding grudges, then that's really unnecessary.

  As soon as the five of us, including our agent, left the door, someone immediately stood up and said: "In my opinion, the first song absolutely has huge market potential! This style has not appeared in the market yet, but I predict it will definitely be popular. Releasing a song like this now, nine out of ten will make it an overnight sensation!"

  Huang Dazhong nodded in agreement, this statement was very close to his own judgment.

  He then turned his head and exchanged a glance with Du Xiaoming, seeing that the other party also nodded seriously, he waved his hand to indicate that the speaker could sit down, and asked: "Does anyone have any different opinions? Come on, let's talk."

  The scene was quiet for a moment, then someone spoke up and said: "I agree with Lao Qian's view on the first song, but I have some doubts about this second song, that children's song... Of course, I'm not saying that children's song is bad, actually I think it's quite good, from the lyrics to the composition, to their singing, everything feels just right. But what I'm wondering is, if we put these two songs on the same album, won't they clash in terms of style? Won't they... disrupt the theme that should be highlighted?"

  Huang Dazhong nodded and asked: "What's your point then?"

  He said: "My intention is to choose one of the two songs, I think either song is excellent and has the potential to be popular in the market. However, if both are included on the same album, it would be a bit discordant. So, let's choose one as the main hit for this album 'Wu Su' and also set the direction for the whole album around that style. Of course, I suggest choosing the first song, its market potential is not only big but I think it has a higher chance of becoming popular in the market. As for the other children's song, don't waste it, let's help them record two more children's songs and make a small album or just release a single to test the waters. If the market reaction is also very good, then we can give them a separate children's song-style album!"

  Huang Dazhong nodded upon hearing this and thought for a moment before saying: "Is that all? Does anyone else have anything to say?"

  He paused for a moment, seeing that no one else in the room intended to speak, and knew that the above two views basically represented the two different opinions of everyone, so he nodded slowly and turned his head to look at Music Director Du Xiaoming.

  Like all companies, the configuration is similar. Those who serve as general managers of record companies, especially those like Huang Dazhong who are in charge of a large record company, are often not the most professional individuals. The most professional musician in a record company is often the music director or artistic director.

  In Chinese singing, of course, it's Du Xiaoming.

  But at this moment, Du Xiaoming's face had a strange expression, he furrowed his brow, as if he was struggling with something.

  Huang Dazhong thought for a moment and said, "Adjourn the meeting."

  Everyone heard this and got up to leave.

  Huang Dazhong rushed to Li Jindong and beckoned him over. As the other approached, he asked, "You also heard just now, what did Li Qian mean? To put these two songs into an album?"

  Li Jinlong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It should be like this. From my observation of his intention, he doesn't want Wuxingwusu to become the kind of image that only sings fast songs and then dances. Moreover, he also said that if he is in charge of producing the album, not just this children's song, he will arrange a few more slow songs for Wuxingwusu later on."

  Huang Dazhong nodded, paused for a moment, and said: "He... has some standards, and I can feel it. He's good at more than just light rock, folk, Chinese style and so on. Like that fast song, he did a great job, and... he seems to always sense that there must be a market, but somehow we haven't been able to make an outstanding example of that kind of music yet..."

  He paused for a moment and asked: "What price does the other party want?"

  Li Jinlong was thrilled to hear this, and then said very cautiously: "Let him be in charge of producing the entire album, and he will also be responsible for creating at least five of the works. If sales are below 1 million copies, he won't get a single cent!"

  As soon as he heard this, Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up immediately.

  Even Du Xiaoming, who had been frowning and thinking deeply beside him, was suddenly attracted over, and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" He exchanged a glance with Huang Dazhong, and smiled: "You're really confident, aren't you?"

  Huang Dazhong nodded and asked, "Then what?"

  Li Jinlong said: "Then, over one million, he wants five points, one hundred and fifty million is six points, two hundred million will want seven points, then, two hundred and fifty million is eight points, three hundred million is ten points, finally, if more than five hundred million, he wants fifteen points."

  Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming heard this, and a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression appeared on their faces at the same time.

  Huang Dazhong turned his head and looked at Du Xiaoming, laughing: "The lion opens its mouth wide!"

  Du Xiaoming nodded and said: "It should be heading for 2 million copies, if it really sells 2 million copies, Wu Xuan can be considered to have thoroughly fired up and come back to life. Giving him seven points... isn't a big deal! Moreover, I think that from the quality of those two songs just now, he must have had a good plan in mind, this sales figure seems very promising. As for 5 million copies... haha, I reckon he's just trying to show off his confidence in this album, mainly to give us some confidence, as for actually selling that many... I don't think that's very likely."

  Huang Dazhong nodded in agreement with Du Xiaoming's words.

  It's just a small trick often used in business negotiations and cooperation, nothing special.

  Moreover, as Du Xiaoming said, the other party's estimate is also aiming for sales of around 2 million copies. At this level, not to mention the profits that Hua Ge can get from subsequent commercial activities after "Wu Xing Wu Suo Huo" becomes popular, even if we only calculate the profit from selling records, giving them a 7% copyright fee is completely worthwhile.

  Seven points, 20 million copies, that's just 14.5 million, compared to the 40-50 million profit that the whole album might make, it's just a small part.

  Of course, although it's only a small part, after all, it's sharing the profits from Huage Records. If it were someone else, Huage Records wouldn't have given such a high price. The main problem now is that except for Li Qian, no one dares to guarantee and indeed no one has the ability and confidence to make Wu Xingshu sell two million copies!

  So... actually, even if the other party raises the price a bit higher, as long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line, Huang Dazhong will definitely nod and agree.

  It's expensive, of course!

  If you don't pay a price that moves people's hearts, why should others make an album for you?

  But at this time, Du Xiaoming finished speaking, and his eyebrows frowned again. Then, he looked at Li Jindong and asked: "Jindong, have you been in contact with that Li Qian? Has he... I mean, during your contact, did he mention any ideas about the combination of Wu Xing Wu Su? For example, about creating them, creating this album's thinking?"

  "Huh?" The sentence suddenly stumped Li Jinlong, and for a moment, he furrowed his brow, but didn't know how to respond, so he said: "Isn't it... the vibrant, youthful road?"

  Du Xiaoming nodded slowly, but his expression was still full of doubt.

  At this time, seeing Huang Dazhong looking over, he shook his head and said: "Actually, I just asked casually, I always feel that based on the standard of these two songs he brought out, it's obvious that we can all see the problem of inconsistent style. I don't think he would not feel it. But since he felt it, why did he want to add a nursery rhyme to this album which is obviously going to be a youth-themed album? This...can't quite figure it out..."

  It seems that these few words woke him up, and Li Jinlong suddenly brightened his eyes and said: "I remembered, I seem to have heard her sisters mention a sentence, it seemed that when Li Qian took out this nursery rhyme, her sisters also had doubts, but Li Qian's explanation to them was to cultivate them into all-ages popular national girls.

  "National Treasure Girl?"

  Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming were both shocked at the same time.

  How arrogant!

  Up to now, the pattern of the entire music scene is that you have the ability to sing a song well, and then you really get a good song, so you can become popular, like Zhen Zhen, Zhou Mei, Liao Liao, they are all like this.

  So, strength is paramount.

  It's clear that Li Qian has created two songs for Wu Xuan, "Sisters Stand Up" is a fast song and doesn't need to be mentioned, even the latter one "Let's Row Together", as a children's song, has a comfortable and smooth rhythm, but with five girls singing together in unison, regardless of their singing skills being good or bad, after making the record, it makes fans not easy to distinguish.

  So Li Qian didn't emphasize their singing skills when making this record for them?

  Only emphasizing melody?

  So how can he unify various works of different styles that are obviously not very cohesive into one album?

  In a daze, Du Xiaoming only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly he felt as if he had grasped some kind of secret.

  Then he couldn't help but ask again, "National Treasure Girl? Did he really say that?"

  Li Jinlong nodded and said: "It should be no mistake. Otherwise... call them in and ask?"

  Du Xiaoming waved his hand, furrowed his brow in deep thought for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing. Then he said to Huang Dazhong: "I should have guessed what Li Qian was thinking..."

  Huang Dazhong and Li Jindong turned their heads to look at him simultaneously upon hearing this.

  "What did you say?"

  Du Xiaoming's hands, which had played the piano for thirty years, unconsciously gestured as he smiled and said with a hint of doubt, "Actually, it's very simple. If an album contains many styles, just find one piece that can overwhelm all the other styles, and that's it! I don't care how messy the whole album is, whether it's fast or slow, rock or children's songs... I'll just put this one song at the end and use it to stun everyone. That way, people won't feel like the album is chaotic, but rather that it has rich content..."

  Huang Dazhong and Li Jindao both took a deep breath in unison upon hearing this.

  Huang Dazhong is fine, but Li Jindong can't help but say: "You mean that kind of work that will be directly regarded as a classic as soon as it comes out? That level of work... isn't that easy to come out, right?"

  Du Xiaoming shrugged and spread his hands, "He's Li Qian! Who knows? Maybe he has the confidence to do it?"

  Li Jinlong suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.

  Thinking carefully, Li Qian's works so far are not many, but each one seems to be a uniquely new style compared to the current music scene, and each one has a considerable degree of maturity and listenability. So... if this were someone else, it would definitely be ridiculed, but with Li Qian, it really makes people dare not jump out and question it at first!

  Although you are amazed, although you are almost frightened, however... You can only be filled with expectation in doubt!

  At this time, Huang Dazhong slowly let out a breath and suddenly had a clear and bright expression. He smiled and said: "I told you so, it's like that, who would put all the ultimate moves directly at the beginning? That kid, he indeed has a hidden hand!"

  He thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, saying: "His terms, we won't change a single word. Golden Dragon, you go back to the legal department and have them draft the contract. You keep an eye on it, make sure it's done exactly as Li Qian intended. Once the contract is ready, bring it to me and I'll sign it! We'll give him all the benefits... in full!"

  Du Xiaoming also smiled on the side: "For this album, for that big work, I really can't wait to see what it's like! This kid's thinking... is quite unique!"

  Hearing the two big brothers' words, Li Jinlong suddenly felt relieved and quickly nodded.

  Then, as if suddenly enlightened, he spoke again: "Don't worry, two bosses, I will definitely get along well with Li Qian and strive for the future... Hehe!"

  Du Xiaoming heard this and slowly started laughing.

  Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up, and he rarely stretched out his hand to warmly pat Li Jindong's shoulder, laughing: "Well said, Jindong! Doing a good job with this matter and winning over this little music genius will be your greatest achievement!"

  …………

  Outside the audition room, people who came to attend the audition meeting kept coming out one after another. The sisters wanted to go in, but soon discovered that neither President Huang nor Supervisor Du had come out. After a moment of hesitation, everyone tacitly stopped and stood still.

  They were eager to know if the company could make a new style for their new album with Li Qian, but they also knew that it was not enough for the company to agree, as Li Qian had not signed a contract with the company yet!

  So, is this what they're discussing inside?

  Moreover... almost no one uses if, a few people can guess, it's likely that they are talking about this!

  So everyone was anxious and impatient, but just stood outside waiting silently.

  At last, after about ten minutes or so, the door of the audition room opened again, and Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming walked out one after another.

  When he came to the door, Huang Dazhong unexpectedly walked in front of several girls and smiled: "Your performance is very good, these two songs are also quite good. When you go to Jinan Prefecture next time, help me bring a message, just say that I'm here to prepare good wine and good dishes at any time, and welcome Li Qian to come over at any time!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away.

  Several girls stood there, all of them stunned for a moment, and no one reacted to respond with a sentence.

  Then Du Xiaoming walked over, smiled and looked at the five girls one by one. He said: "Hold on to that little guy, if my eyes are not wrong, he can make you red for at least ten or twenty years!"

  After finishing speaking, he smiled and walked away.

  Five girls stood there, continuing to be stunned and looking at each other in dismay.

  Today's two big brothers... are so gentle!

  Then Li Jinlong came out.

  He smiled and glanced at Huang Dazhong and Du Xiaoming, who were gradually moving away. He then turned to the five girls who were staring blankly at him and said with a smile: "The conditions Li Qian proposed, Huang agreed to every single one of them without changing a word! So... haha, it's okay, you can all laugh out loud and cheer now!"

  "Huh?"

  "Hurray!"

  ***

  This is Chapter 1, over 5,000 words!

  After getting up today, I've been cheering myself on to try and write three more chapters! So, can everyone give me some encouragement? (.)
