Chapter 286 Southbound Moonlight's New Album

Xu Mingxia is going to the capital, and Xiao Qian only cares about one issue.

"Mom, if you leave, who will be the music director of the company?"

Obviously Xu Mingxia has already made arrangements.

"I have discussed with Mr. Weng, and Qing Jue will take over this position."

Looking at the girl next to her chewing chicken legs, Xiao Qian felt bad.

"Is that possible?"

Li Qingjue made a show of poking him with a chicken leg.

"Don't look down on people, you can be an art director, why can't I be a music director?"

Xiao Qian then remembered that this girl was extremely arrogant and quickly changed her approach.

"I mean, didn't you get an invitation letter from Berklee College of Music? Are you not going to study abroad?"

In the Global Youth Music Competition, Li Qingjue did not get any rankings. But her performance of "The Street Where the Wind Lives" was so classic that it caused a sensation.

After listening to the music, Berkeley sent a special invitation to Li Qingjue.

"Not going."

Li Qingjue was very determined, which was quite surprising.

"That's Berkeley, one of the best music schools in the world. If you can go there, you will definitely learn a lot."

Xiao Qian couldn't bear it and continued to comfort him.

Li Qingjue turned his head and looked at him seriously.

"Dad, if mom leaves and I leave too, you will be very lonely."

Xiao Qian was moved to tears. With a daughter-in-law who always thinks about herself, what more could a husband ask for?

Before he was moved enough, Li Qingjue's next words came again.

"Besides, there are more and more goblins in the company, so I have to watch you."

Xiao Qian looked embarrassed, making the adults laugh wildly.

As he gets older, adults are also very worried about Xiao Qian's situation.

This child becomes more and more beautiful as he grows older, and his temperament becomes more and more outstanding. Coupled with his high position and power, his young age and rich wealth, he is comparable to the meat of Tang Monk.

Put it into society, this will make countless women fascinated and obsessed, pursuing and tempting them at all costs.

Privately, Xu Mingxia has been teaching her daughter how to guard against thieves.

Of course, Li Qing had no intention of going to Berkeley, and there was another important reason.

"I found that I can learn more things no matter where or when I am with you. With you here, I will not be worse than anyone else."

This was the girl's absolute trust, which really moved Xiao Qian.

"Yes, then we won't go."

Berklee College of Music is indeed famous and has produced countless top talents. But if you think about it carefully, at the level of Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue, they really don’t necessarily need that layer of gold plating.

Xiao Qian is now a well-known musician in Asia with a successful career.

Li Qingjue is also steadily improving, and what Xiao Qian can teach her, although not a profound theory, is extremely practical.

Now Li Qingjue is going to take over Xu Mingxia's position and become the music director of Starlight Music. He will definitely follow the path of a producer in the future, and there is no need to go to the academy for theoretical study.

Throughout May, Starlight Music was very busy.

Wenyi is planning her comeback, Qu Qi is holding a concert tour, Tu Xiaogang is performing commercials everywhere, and there is a group of singers that cannot be ignored.

That is Southbound Moonlight.

This pair of simple singers encountered great difficulties because of their simple ideas, but in the end they managed to survive and were absorbed by Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian was very busy during this period and had no time to take care of them. They were not annoyed or making trouble, and just made their own music quietly.

"The Opium War" is about to enter the busiest period of post-editing. Xiao Qian must deal with the company's affairs before entering the state. Southbound Moonlight is the last part he needs to solve.

"I haven't been paying attention to your activities. I've kind of ignored you."

Xiao Qian made an appointment with Feng Zhe and Ah Hao, and together with Liu Zhihao and Li Xiaohan, they formed a strange team and chatted while eating skewers.

In the past two years, the food stall business in Magic City has gradually begun to boom, with stalls popping up everywhere, which has also caused the Municipal Government of Magic City to scratch their heads.

However, it also makes people’s daily necessities more convenient.

Feng Zhe and Ah Hao can drink some beer and eat barbecue, so they are not so restrained.

"It doesn't matter to us. Mr. Xiao has given us an environment that allows us to make the music we like. We are very happy."

"There is just one title song missing, so it may take a while for us to return."

Li Xiaohan and Nanxing Yueguang were not familiar with each other, so their first meeting was quite unexpected.

"Hey, you guys make your own music. If you have any problems, go to Mr. Xiao, he can solve them."

Xiao Qian was not angry.

"You think I am Tathagata Buddha."

Li Xiaohan chuckled evilly.

"You are responsible for all the music in the company. Everyone says you are the god of music."

His words moved Feng Zhe and Ahao's hearts.

As a folk singer-songwriter, Nanxing Moonlight has always been busy making music. If there are any problems, the two of them will discuss and solve them themselves.

Starlight Entertainment provided a separate studio for the two of them. It was very large, advanced, and well-equipped. The two of them stayed in there day after day, and did not see anyone except during meal times.

Except for their managers, everyone in the company has almost forgotten that there is such a group of artists.

The two of them were enjoying themselves and didn't think there was any problem. They completely forgot that music creation is actually an industry that requires extensive cooperation.

"Mr. Xiao, how about you give us some advice?"

Of course Xiao Qian's purpose is also this.

"Tell me about your ideas for the new album."

An album is basically divided into two types: album and mini.

An album is a regular album, containing about ten or more songs, or even twenty to thirty songs.

The production cycle for such an album must be very long, usually one year or more.

With the development of the times, albums appear less and less frequently, because the investment and reward are not proportional.

There are so many songs in an album, and in the end, only one or two songs may be remembered by the public. The rest, despite their hard work, can only be ignored.

Except for loyal fans who will know that the singer performs at his concerts, almost no one cares about him.

Under such circumstances, mini albums are more popular in the market.

There are about five to seven songs, which greatly reduces the production workload and allows the singer to devote more energy to the title song.

Since the establishment of Starlight Entertainment, under the leadership of Xiao Qian, it has never produced an album.

Even if it is a mini album, Xiao Qian insists on strictly controlling it within seven songs.

This is true even for a compilation album by many singers.

Southbound Moonlight’s new album was also produced based on this framework.

Feng Zhe and Ah Hao had already produced four songs and got stuck on the title song.

Originally, the two of them were thinking of doing seven songs, but because of this problem, they had to lower their expectations and just thought of doing five songs.

Feng Zhe took out the notebook from his bag and handed it to Xiao Qian.

"The two of us have too little experience, and most of our time was spent on Nan Piao. Therefore, the content produced is all about the past. The title song certainly cannot deviate from this category."

Xiao Qian nodded to express understanding.

The creations of most producers are actually inseparable from their own life experiences.

This is why some people are good at folk music, some are good at rock music, and some are good at electronic music.

Feng Zhe and Ah Hao went south with their dreams in mind and went to Yangcheng in their best years, experiencing all kinds of life. It would be strange if their songs had nothing to do with this experience.

Xiao Qian looked at the music score and found that almost all the songs they had prepared were like this.

The only thing missing is a title song that can rock the show.

"Tell me your story? How did you and Ahao meet? From your accents, it seems like you are from the same place."

Xiao Qian has a lot of good songs in her hand, and they are all campus folk songs, but if they want to fit the theme of Southbound Moonlight's return, they must be carefully selected.

Getting to know the two of them more will help with song selection.

Sure enough, when Feng Zhe and Ah Hao talked, Xiao Qian realized that their meeting was also a kind of fate.

Feng Zhe is from Shu Province. After graduating from high school, he did not go to college and his family was poor, so he went south to work in Yangcheng.

He has carried sacks and worked as a small laborer. He has endured all kinds of hardships and fatigues.

But because he won a prize in a school music competition when he was in the third grade of junior high school, this became a lifelong thought for him.

Even if I wander around, I can't let go of my dream of music.

By chance, he met Ah Hao who was performing on the street, which aroused Feng Zhe's hidden factors.

It was at that time that the two sang a song, which became the fate of their acquaintance and companionship.
