Each of these songs can be individually labeled as a title song. Therefore, Universal Records internally 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 such as Hua De'an and Leng Ling have all had the experience of releasing albums of the same name.
The advantage of an album of the same name is that it can greatly increase the recognition of the singer himself, which is very suitable for the singer's first new album.
Li Qing readily accepted this suggestion. He didn't attach much importance to this aspect.
When he came to Hong Kong, Universal Music Group began filming MVs for the fifteen songs in the album of the same name "Li Qing".
If we want to finish shooting all the MVs, obviously, just seven days is not enough.
Therefore, while speeding up the filming process, it is natural that we also have to cut out a few song MVs.
However, as soon as Li Qing put forward this suggestion, he encountered strong opposition from Zhang Zitao and others.
Li Qing was very confused, what about it?
In fact, unless they are top-tier singers, few record companies are willing to shoot MVs for all the songs in a singer's new album.
Because in this way, the cost of human, material and financial resources will be too much.
With an unknown future, record companies naturally have to be cautious.
Therefore, when these companies release albums for their singers, it would be lucky if one-third of the songs in the album can be made into music videos.
For example, when Bao Yunyun's new album "Heavy Rain and Pear Blossoms" was released, only three songs were filmed into music videos.
But obviously, Li Qing does not fall into this category.
With Li Qing's current popularity, he is only a matter of time away from becoming a first-tier superstar.
How can the potential of a super A-list superstar be comparable to that of ordinary artists?
Universal Music obviously also understands this truth, so no matter what Li Qing asks, Universal Music has no intention of giving in in this regard.
Li Qing later heard the news that Universal Music seemed to be pricing the new album "Li Qing" at 35 yuan a piece.
When he heard the news, Li Qing's jaw dropped in shock.
You know, in today's mainland record market, album sales are mostly priced at 15 yuan each, and cassettes are still the mainstream sales. Universal Music's price for the "Li Qing" album is more than double that of ordinary singers' albums...
At 35 yuan for an album, in this whole era, would anyone really buy it?
"You don't have to worry too much. As long as all of your fifteen songs have MVs, Hong Kong fans will definitely buy it. 35 yuan a piece is not much. For popular singers in many overseas countries, an album is much more expensive."
If this figure were only issued in Hong Kong, I certainly would not spend so much money..."
Zhang Zitao explained: "For this album, I decided to release it simultaneously in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and then expand overseas. This is the first album released by our Universal Music Hong Kong branch since its establishment. Of course, we must strive for excellence. We must
It takes a quality album to be produced. Considering the tariffs in various places, we have recently increased costs and cooperated with local foundries in Taiwan and the Mainland. As long as you finish shooting the MV, it won't take long, over there
We can start construction immediately..."
As the production cost increases, the selling price will naturally be higher.
Li Qing certainly understands this truth.
However, with an album priced at 35 yuan, even though he is full of confidence now, he still has some doubts in his heart.
"Actually, many people in the team are a bit strange."
Zhang Zitao changed the topic and asked doubtfully: "The song "Glory" is indeed good, but this song seems to be a male and female chorus, so who is the other female singer? In this regard, I think we should find someone in advance
It would be better for the other party to negotiate and sign a contract, otherwise it will be very troublesome for you and me if the other party pursues the matter later."
Li Qing thought for a while and finally answered truthfully: "Her name is Han Han, my girlfriend. You don't have to worry. Since I said it's okay, then it's okay. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it alone."
Zhang Zitao was shocked by Li Qing's words "my girlfriend". It took him a while to react, and he immediately looked surprised.
But he didn't know what to say. After being silent for a while, he patted Li Qing on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Li Qing's first song to shoot a MV for was called "Meet Again".
This is a typical rock song, and the shooting scene is very simple, just like a standard band.
Guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, plus the lead singer Li Qing, in the fields, in the castle, at the seaside, on the open balcony, just one song can change countless scenes.
The shooting of this song's MV does not require any acting skills. In the words of the MV director, it can be done even if you don't look at the camera.
Therefore, the filming of the MV for this song was quickly completed and started post-production.
The second song is called "Dusk". The tone of this song is very sad. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a sad love song for men.
The lyrics describe the scene when a man and a woman break up. It has a strong visual sense. In its previous life, it was also a frequent guest on the KTV song list.
In a previous life, the popularity of this song was bizarre. The original singer was a down-and-out Taiwanese singer who was very talented in composition. However, when he released his first album with enthusiasm, he never thought that it would disappear.
.
Frustrated, the original singer applied to terminate her contract with the company, decided to give up her dream, and honestly become a behind-the-scenes singer-songwriter.
But life encounters drama and strangeness.
Two years later, the original singer was on a business trip to the Mainland and suddenly discovered that the song "Dusk" was being sung crazily in the streets and alleys of the Mainland.
He was very surprised, so he walked into several nearby video stores, and then he was shocked to find that the album he released two years ago had turned into dozens of pirated albums with different covers.
And according to his inquiries, the sales of these albums are actually very hot.
Combined, these albums sold nearly five million copies!
He was momentarily confused and felt very strange.
But this feeling dissipated not long after, because his whereabouts were revealed in the mainland, and his life suddenly became busy - several first-line TV stations extended an olive branch to him, organized free fan clubs for him, and invited him to appear on
Various variety shows and talk shows, his net worth instantly jumped to the top of the celebrity list.
For a time, his name became famous all over the country.
Later, at a concert in Singapore, he choked up and said: "I once thought... I would never make another record, until one day, on the streets of a foreign land, I heard a song of my own, this song
The song is constantly being played in the streets and alleys, because this song has changed me, because this song has made me believe that as long as I persevere, beautiful flowers will bloom even in the ice and snow."
