Liu Qingshan's words are satisfactory. The people in the band actually understand that they only serve as Liu Qingshan's personal band. In addition to the basic salary, the way to make money is performance fees. This person is very busy. So far, he has not even completed an album. Well, where can we get more performance opportunities?
Besides, his current work focus is on film production. They have been in China for half a year and have not even had a chance to make their official debut.
If Ajie hadn't occasionally helped them find performance opportunities at some music festivals, they would have been able to stay in the practice room as if in seclusion for the past few months.
These people all have development directions. Although the fixed salary given by Liu Qingshan is high enough, it is obvious that the current situation is not what they need.
Having a job of composing and selling high-quality songs not only solves their problem of having nothing to do temporarily, but also makes their pockets bulge. Their boss is thinking of them, and if they understand this, they will of course be grateful. .
Besides, it’s easy to make popular high-pitched songs in nightclubs in China. Just find the copyrights of some of the most popular online songs and adapt them.
With their professional abilities, they can adapt several songs in one day. It is really easy to make this kind of money.
Future sales issues? Liu Qingshan's name is engraved in the four words "Produced by Xueyu", and there is no possibility that works related to him will not be sold.
Before ten o'clock, the group arrived at the relevant hotel. The annex of the hotel was a huge performance hall, where today's press conference was held.
The members of Night Wish were all here, and they were naturally eager to see Liu Qingshan.
The previous female vocalist Taya has been fired. Annette Olsen was originally the lead singer of the Swedish classical rock band Alison Avenue. Her voice has more advantages than the professionally trained and sophisticated singing voice of the previous lead singer Taya. , can bring Nightwish to a wider range of fans.
Thomas, the soul of the band, is still as cool and handsome as ever, with long golden hair shawl and a foot-long goatee under his chin.
European and American rock music is universally admired and has been integrated into the daily life of society. Therefore, Thomas's style is quite popular in western Europe, especially among motorcycle parties on the highway. It is the most common imitation.
Originally, Nightwish was only well-received and well-known in Europe and the United States, but its influence has spread to other continents, especially Asia, thanks to Liu Qingshan's strong promotion of it at the Los Angeles Music Festival.
With a strong classical foundation and an elegant soprano, the hybrid style of heavy metal and elegant classical music is powerfully delivered with the majestic and upright momentum of symphony. It has not only captured the hearts of metal fans, but also fans who have never been exposed to heavy metal. Underneath its beautiful vocal skirt.
Not to mention their commercial performance, which includes repeatedly winning European metal awards, and their record sales, which often break gold records, they have won many successes, and they have also created a trend for female lead singers in European heavy metal music.
Their musical style has been described as theater metal and nu metal, and highlights melodic heavy metal with female vocals. However, the departure of the first vocalist Taya Turunni this year inevitably caused the band to suffer a major crisis.
There are different opinions on the reasons for this crisis. Even if Liu Qingshan had the ability to predict future generations, he could not find more conclusive information.
In fact, he himself is not a very gossipy person, but the Nightwish band is one of the main reasons why he fell in love with rock music. He has a strong curiosity in his heart, so he found an opportunity to pull Thomas aside and quietly asked him about it. .
Thomas's answer finally made him understand the mystery: "Alien, you know? Taya and I are old childhood friends. We have known each other since we were students! This incident almost made me collapse. Everything It was all because of her husband, a well-known businessman in Argentina, who was deeply influenced by him. Some time ago, he had been working on commercializing the band, and started to develop independently from the team. As a result, the purity of music before was gradually replaced. Overtaken by cultural differences and greed, speculation, and love.”
Liu Qingshan sighed: "In the final analysis, your band members themselves lack sufficient communication and communication, otherwise they would not be so easily infected by external influences!"
"Well, a few of us have begun to reflect on this issue. In fact, when we last came to Kyoto to record your song, there were already signs of it, but we didn't pay much attention to it at the time!"
“The show about Oslo was the final trigger?”
"Yeah, she knew the tickets were sold out but insisted on canceling it just because she needed to rehearse for her solo concert, see friends, and watch a movie. I can't imagine a more selfish way to distance herself from her fans. Now, Nightwish is a way of life and a job that has a lot of responsibilities for each other and the fans. If we continue to be with her, we can't continue to fulfill these responsibilities."
"Okay, what do you think of Annette now?"
"Annette is an elf singer, while Taya was an epic singer before them. Their voices and styles are different. Taya is an opera major, and her years of hard training have made her a high-pitched and rich voice; while Annette is entering Nightwish had formed a band by herself before, and they only sang some rock and choir songs. Therefore, many of the previous songs were almost tailor-made for Taya. Of course, it would not be possible to achieve good results if sung by Annette. ! In the future, we will gradually begin to change the arrangement in a direction that she can adapt to."
"I have a song here. After I saw your open letter to Taya half a year ago, I was worried about whether Nightwish could still hold on. This song was inspired by my feelings!"
The song he is talking about is "The Poet And The Pendulum", which is translated into Chinese as "The Poet And The Pendulum". There are always references to Edgar Allan Poe's works in the whole song.
The lyrics are also tailor-made for Thomas. He has an unrequited love for the lead singer Taya, but unfortunately Taya falls in love with another entrepreneur.
Marriage was hard to come by, and in the end the band, which Thomas regarded as his spiritual home, became torn apart.
Taya's departure completely vented Thomas's depressed anger and deep helplessness.
Therefore, the connotation of this song is a summary of all Thomas's emotions, including anger, despair, pleading, regret, helplessness, and even gradually calming down, seeking redemption or escape, and rebirth. It is not so much rebirth as indictment of oneself through living. emotion.
This work was prepared by Liu Qingshan a long time ago, and after the original work was officially released in 2007, it was called a masterpiece and one of Nightwish's best works.
The switching of various singing methods and the use of various techniques make the song very full and have a strong sense of immersion. The entire song style ranges from sadness to helplessness, from anger to calmness. It is indeed a masterpiece of art. The next moment Liu Qingshan handed it to Thomas, he just saw the lyrics, and the other person immediately felt tears in his eyes. It was obvious that this piece of music should have been written by his hand, and it had a pain that penetrated his heart. Feelings arise spontaneously.
But Liu Qingshan had no intention of letting him reveal his feelings at this time. After all, many people were waiting not far away.
Thomas listened to his dissuasion and didn't say much nonsense. He just reached out and patted his shoulder heavily, stuffed the music sheet into his pocket casually, and turned around to leave.
At this time, Wang Huansheng, who had not been seen for a long time, came over and said, "Let's go, Mr. Podolsky has an invitation, and I have to say a few words to his big boss!"
Liu Qingshan nodded and smiled, and asked him on the way: "Have the procedures for the two properties been completed?"
"I should say seven. Did you forget to buy a unit?"
"Yes, yes, your name is under the company account?"
"Well, only the courtyard house is in your name, and Director Fu said that only if you are the head of the household can you get the loan! But we are not short of money at the moment, why did you think of this way? I remember Kram Before leaving China, I told you that if you have any problems with capital turnover, you can go to him directly!"
"That's what Mr. Fu meant. There may be a deeper reason. I'm also curious about it, but after he scolded me for being childish, there was nothing more to say!"
Wang Huansheng was relieved all of a sudden: "The old man has said something, and there must be some secret in it. It doesn't matter if he understands it or not, just follow it. Anyway, the old man will not harm us!"
"Well, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's too nerve-wracking! Have you met that Podolsky? What's your impression of this person?"
"The way he deals with people is a bit like your Uncle Martin. He's a bit forceful, but he knows how to hide. He also likes to be direct when speaking. He doesn't seem to appreciate hiding things!"
"First Evolution"
"Real capital bosses are very averse to intrigues and intrigues in the shopping mall. This is especially obvious with Daddy Bumi."
"That's because they don't need to pretend to negotiate. They have tens of billions of dollars in capital and live money on hand at any time, which can be mobilized at will. Such an owner will be popular wherever he goes, and his investment will will not just focus on one person. Two projects, besides, business opportunities are created, not fought for!"
"Aren't we following the same path? Although we are far inferior in terms of economic strength, each of our projects is our own."
"This is why Director Huang and I are willing to work with you. You also know that the current Yihe Law Firm is basically operating around the snowy area, and other small cases are handed over to the novices!"
"If Director Ge hadn't informed you in advance, I'm afraid you wouldn't have fallen to my side so quickly, right?"
What Liu Qingshan said was the truth. Huang Qiqiu was only the first partner of Yi He. Among the other partners was Ge Daquan's brother-in-law, whose qualifications in the legal profession were much deeper than that of the new generation Huang Qiqiu.
That person was considered to be the consultant of the entire firm, so what he said would naturally be effective. Otherwise, why would Yi He hire a full-time lawyer to take charge of the legal affairs around him when Liu Qingshan was still Sanwu at that time?
