Li Qing's new album covers fifteen Chinese songs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Each of these songs can be taken out separately as the title song, so Universal Music has discussed the name of the new album for a long time, and finally gave Li Qing a serious suggestion - "Li Qing".

That is, the album of the same name.

Singers like Hua De'an and Leng Ling have all had the experience of releasing albums of the same name.

The benefit of the self-titled album is that it can greatly increase the recognition of the singer himself, which is very suitable for the artist's first new album.

Li Qing readily accepted this suggestion, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect,

When he arrived in Hong Kong, Universal Music began to shoot the music video for the fifteen songs from the album of the same name, "Li Qing".

If you want to shoot all the MVs, it's clear that seven days is not enough.

Therefore, while speeding up the filming schedule, it is natural that you have to cut out the music videos of a few songs.

It's just that as soon as Li Qing made this suggestion, he was strongly opposed by Zhang Zitao and others.

Li Qing was very puzzled, as for it?

In fact, unless it is a super first-line singer, under normal circumstances, few record companies are willing to shoot the music video for all the songs on a singer's new album.

Because in this way, the cost of manpower, material and financial resources will be consumed too much.

With an uncertain outlook, record labels should naturally be cautious.

Therefore, if a third of the songs in the albums released by these companies to their artists can be made into music videos, it will be a blessing.

For example, when Bao Yunyun's new album "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" was released, only three songs were made into MVs.

But it is clear that Li Qing does not fall into this category.

With Li Qing's current popularity, it is only a matter of time before he is a superstar.

How can the potential of superstars be comparable to ordinary artists?

Universal Music obviously understands this truth, so no matter what Li Qing asks, in this regard, Universal Music has no intention of making the slightest concession.

Li Qing later heard the news that the new album "Li Qing", Universal Records, seems to be priced at 35 yuan a piece.

When he heard the news, Li Qing's jaw dropped in shock.

You must know that in today's mainland record market, the sales price of albums is mostly 15 yuan a piece, and the cassette is still the mainstream of sales, and the price of the album "Li Qing" by Universal Records has more than doubled compared to the album of ordinary singers......

35 yuan for an album, in the whole era, is anyone really buying?

"You don't have to worry too much, as long as all of your fifteen songs have a music video, Hong Kong fans will definitely buy it. 35 yuan a piece is not too much, a popular singer in many overseas countries, an album is much higher than this number, if it is only released in Hong Kong, of course I will not spend so much money......"

Zhang Zitao explained: "This album, I decided to release it in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong at the same time, and then expand overseas, this is the first album released by Universal Music Hong Kong since its establishment, of course, we have to keep improving, we must produce a high-quality album. Considering the tariffs in various places, we have recently increased the cost and cooperated with local foundries in Taiwan and the mainland respectively, as long as you finish shooting the MV, it won't take long for you to start construction immediately......"

As the production cost increases, the selling price will naturally be higher.

Of course Li Qing understands this truth.

It's just that for an album of 35 yuan, even if he is full of confidence now, he will inevitably have some drums in his heart.

"Actually, there are a lot of people on the team who are a little weird. ”

Zhang Zitao diverted the topic and asked suspiciously: "The song "Glory" is really good, but this song seems to be a male and female chorus, so who is the other female singer? In this regard, I think it is better for us to negotiate with each other in advance, and it is best to sign a contract, otherwise the other party will be very troublesome if the other party investigates it afterwards. ”

Li Qing thought about it, and finally replied truthfully: "Her name is Han Han, my girlfriend, you don't have to worry, since I said yes, then it's okay, if something happens, I'll bear it alone." ”

Zhang Zitao was shocked by Li Qing's sentence "My girlfriend", and it took him a while to react, and he was surprised when he landed.

But he didn't know what to say, and after being silent for a while, he patted Li Qing on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Li Qing's first song to shoot the MV is called "Meet Again".

It's a typical rock 'n' roll song, and the shooting scene is very simple, just a standard band.

Guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, plus Li Qing, the lead singer, in the field, in the castle, on the seaside, on the open-air balcony, just one song, has changed countless scenes.

The filming of the MV of this song does not require any acting skills, in the words of the MV director, even if you don't look at the camera.

Therefore, the MV shooting of this song was quickly completed and entered post-production.

The second song is called "Dusk", the tone of the whole song is very sad, strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a sad love song belonging to men.

The lyrics describe the scene when men and women break up, and they have a strong sense of picture, and they were also frequent visitors to the KTV song list in their previous lives.

In the previous life, the popularity of this song was very bizarre, the original singer was a down-and-out Taiwanese singer, who was very talented in creation, but when he released his first album with enthusiasm, he never thought that it would sink into the sea for a time.

Frustrated, the original singer applied to the company for termination of the contract, and decided to give up his dream and honestly become a behind-the-scenes singer-songwriter.

But life is bizarre and dramatic.

Two years later, the original singer went on a business trip to the mainland, and suddenly found that the song "Dusk" was sung wildly in the streets and alleys of the mainland.

Strange to him, he walked into a few nearby video stores, and was shocked to find that the album he had released two years earlier had turned into dozens of pirated albums with different covers.

And according to his inquiry, the sales of these albums turned out to be very popular.

Combined, these albums sold nearly five million copies!

He was momentarily stunned and felt very strange.

But it didn't take long for this feeling to disappear, because his whereabouts were revealed on the mainland, and his life became busy in an instant -- several first-line TV stations threw olive branches to him, held free singing clubs for him, invited him to appear on various variety shows and talk shows, and his value instantly jumped to the top line.

For a time, his name became popular all over the country.

Later, at a concert in Singapore, he choked up: "I once thought ...... I won't release records anymore, until one day, on the streets of a foreign land, I heard a song of my own, which was constantly played in the streets and alleys, because of this song, changed me, because of this song, made me believe that as long as I persisted, even in the ice and snow, beautiful flowers would bloom.
