Liu Qingshan obviously underestimated his influence. Now Ajie has rejoined the band after releasing only one solo album. Currently, there are constant announcements of performances, all in the form of a band.
Especially the Kyoto TV variety show channel with which he has the best relationship, they almost regard the Chessboard Band as their official band. Whenever a program needs live accompaniment, they will be contacted immediately.
Moreover, for every overseas performance, the words related to Liu Qingshan will be prominently marked on the promotional posters, and the names of each of their members will often appear on web pages or forums about him.
However, even though they have earned more money, they are still far from their ultimate ideal. The Chessboard Band has always dreamed of being like Beyond, and their idea of becoming a professional Cantonese rock band has never changed.
It's just that the Chessboard Band's fame is limited to a few big cities in the north, and it doesn't even have the market appeal to cross the Yangtze River. It's obviously not the right time to return to Xiangjiang.
People like them who came out of the Aidi Music Studio in Xiangjiang, and Aidi's daughter Lin Wanyi, are slightly more famous than the Chessboard Band, but they are only known to the outside world through the theme song of the public service announcement. .
She is currently in the real stage of keeping a low profile and Liu Qingshan is rushing to create a second princess. Regarding her future development plan, Snowland Entertainment has formulated a complete set of training plans, which are now being implemented step by step.
"I'm usually too busy to take care of your affairs. If you have any questions in the future, please directly ask Sister Huizhen, including various needs! The development prospects of the band are promising now, but whether it is the Mainland or Hong Kong, the development of rock music is still in its infancy. It’s a very embarrassing stage, so don’t be too impatient about some things!”
Ajie nodded, "We are in a good state of mind right now and have been working hard on composing Chinese songs. We will consider whether to release a film only when we have the right opportunity!"
"The future of Chinese language is infinitely broad. I am planning to promote Chinese songs to the world. This matter is bigger and more difficult, but I still have a very firm determination. I hope you can persevere too!"
Wang Yu, the only mainlander in the Chessboard band, took over: "The boss's song "Stars" is the first work to open up overseas markets, right? This song is great, we listened to it almost all morning today!"
Xing Wei sighed: "Shanzi, your voice and creative ability are enough to be called an artist, don't you know? Now the Internet has exploded, and even the "People's Daily" has published a front-page headline! "Star" The recording version hasn’t been made yet, right? Come here to record it another day? Then I’ll find you a symphony orchestra to accompany you live!”
"I have this idea, but I haven't had time to think it through yet, but the symphony orchestra forgets it. I always feel it's a bit too exaggerated."
Xing Weiwei shook his head: "On the contrary, this song is classic enough, and it is almost certain to be widely circulated! If it is covered by foreigners and then created on a large-scale opera performance scale, you will not be able to perform in this area again. . Don’t shake your head. Haven’t we done enough to inspire people with Chinese music? Finally, you have a work that can hit the world. It is no longer your job alone. Have you ever thought about this?"
"Is it that serious?"
"It's so serious! I started receiving calls asking about you one after another since yesterday afternoon. At that time, someone was already thinking about your song. One of the senior executives of Polygram Records in China even said bluntly, I want to buy the rights to use this song for seven figures!”
"Why are you contacted? Why haven't my people received similar calls?"
"Because everyone in the industry knows that you are used to coming to my place to record songs. They know that you haven't recorded the official version yet. Who are they to look for if they don't call me? If your people haven't received the call, it's not time yet. I'm afraid it will start tomorrow. The calls are endless. Not many people could see the live video of your performance yesterday, and most of them are abroad. When the video is returned to the mainland, you and your people will start to get busy! "
Liu Qingshan thought about it and it was really like this. If he didn't pay attention to it, some people would make a fuss about this song.
And he agreed very much with what Xing Wei just said. The Chinese music market has always followed suit, especially in the Mainland. How many songs were created by people here? Most of them are songs from Wandao and Xiangjiang that make waves in the market. The occasional flash in the pan in the mainland music scene is mostly ethnic style and serious music that sings praises.
Nowadays, in the pop music market, a mainland "original" song that can enter the music palace suddenly appears. It would be strange if the public does not compete for it.
So he made a decisive decision: "The day after tomorrow, the time will be set at two o'clock in the afternoon. I will try my best to push aside the things at hand and record this song as soon as possible!"
"What about the symphony orchestra? They need to receive the score in advance so that they can have time to rehearse!"
"You help me find it?"
"I know that you have a close relationship with Master Gu Yun, but two days are too late to go through the normal process. This requires the use of personal relationships. Fortunately, I am very familiar with several senior members of the National Symphony Orchestra, and Cui Jian is Being from that band, he can get you people and instruments even if I can’t!”
"That's it, I'll leave this to Viagra. You'll leave me an email account later. I'll sort it out and send it to you when I get back!"
"Okay, and it doesn't cost much. With your name alone, you can actually do it yourself. I guess 20,000 yuan is enough to cover the expenses!"
"You can hire a whole orchestra with only 20,000 yuan? But it also costs a lot of money to transport the instruments back and forth, right?"
"You don't understand public affairs. Being able to do a favor to someone like you is much more important than paying the orchestra's one-month bonus!"
Jin Xishan, who had not interrupted until now, spoke at this time: "This favor is big enough. If you have works suitable for the orchestra's performance in exchange, I don't think you even need to pay 20,000 yuan, and you can pay it back on the spot. A favor!"
Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up and he looked at Xing Wei.
Xing Wei immediately understood the meaning in his eyes and said in surprise: "Do you really have such a work? My God, this is the first time I have heard of such a young artist, even right in front of my eyes!"
Liu Qingshan knew that this man's eloquent talk was about to start again, so he quickly interrupted him: "Let's change the plan. Tomorrow, no, it should be today, Viagra, is there any way you can invite that band?" Someone who can talk the talk? I’ll treat him to dinner, wherever they choose!”
Seeing the solemn look on his face, Xing Wei immediately paid attention: "Can you guarantee that the quality of the work you produced is enough to be performed in the auditorium?"
"Don't worry, I don't dare to joke about this!"
Xing Wei lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist, "It's just before five in the morning, maybe after eight-thirty, I'll give you an accurate message! But you're still sleeping at this time, right? How about changing it to noon?"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I'm not sleepy. Please work hard for Viagra. You can rest after eight-thirty."
The matter came to an end at this point. Liu Qingshan and others returned to their cars and immediately left with their chosen people.
We went to the hotel to make arrangements for Andilia, and it was already dark when we got home.
Taylor insisted on following her. She was about to take a flight back to China tonight. Her reluctance was understandable, but she just spent more time making up excuses with her mother.
Liu Qingshan's schedule is also full today. He is going to Kyoto Station to meet a few people in the morning. Moreover, the first season of "Super Girl" has ended for more than a month. By the way, he also needs to take Park Hye Jin and Li Juan to handle the final matters. Dividend issue.
In the afternoon, I went to Feng Zhigang's home to discuss the filming of "A World Without Thieves". This project bypassed Zhongyi, and I had to coordinate many things with Xueyu Entertainment.
I have to rush to Fu Haomin's work at about three o'clock, and then pick him up to go to the bank to sign some documents.
I was originally going to attend an actor recruitment meeting for the crew of "A World Without Thieves" in the evening. After receiving a call from Xing Wei on time at 8:30, I had no choice but to give Jin Xishan a temporary replacement.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, we rushed to the airport to see Taylor and his friends off the plane.
But the day's work arrangements were not finished until midnight. After returning from the airport, he had to rush to the building rented by Xueyu Entertainment to do the post-editing of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the editing room.
The people Xing Wei found happily agreed to the dinner in the evening, and it could be seen that they were very interested in the cooperation requirements. If Liu Qingshan was not so pressed for time, he would have rushed to their unit to negotiate this matter in the morning. It's over.
At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, he showed up at a hotel near the National Symphony Orchestra on time.
This time he only brought Taylor and Fan Shengyang with him. Jin Xishan had other tasks, and Taylor couldn't bear to miss him for a few hours, so he followed him willfully.
In the private room on the second floor, besides Xing Wei, there were three other people, all in their forties. One of them, an old man with gray hair, was called Bao Qiming. He was the leader of the National Symphony Orchestra, a world-renowned musician, conductor.
After a brief exchange of compliments, the topic was brought up by Bao Qiming: "Everyone knows Mr. Liu's creative ability in music. Our group's current situation is a bit special. There are big problems in performance management. Can you think of it?" Can’t you help us?”
The predecessor of the National Symphony Orchestra was the Oriental Orchestra, which is also a national-level performance unit.
It was one of the top internationally renowned symphony orchestras in the country, and Liu Qingshan was curious about what kind of business difficulties they would encounter.
It wasn't until Bao Qiming explained it in detail that he gradually understood that the greater the reputation, the more famous actors were poached abroad.
Now, in order to protect themselves, this orchestra, which once toured all over the world, has adopted a series of measures, including canceling or reducing opportunities for foreign performances as much as possible.
As a result, the originally huge reputation will naturally fall a lot.
"Don't those signed contracts work?" Liu Qingshan asked strangely.
