Perfect Life

There is still half a month before the annual Golden Melody Awards ceremony, and Minghu Culture Company suddenly received a special invitation - the invitation letter to be invited to the award ceremony was received years ago, and this time, What the company received was an invitation letter inviting Li Qian, Liao Liao, He Runqing and Cao Zhan as the guests of honor.

Starting this year, the Golden Melody Awards will be restructured, and the most important change is that it will be officially broadcast live from the previous recording and broadcasting.

For those who beg for food in the music circle, especially in the pop music circle, whether it is a producer, an author, or a singer, obviously very few people dare not to give face to the Golden Melody Award - not to mention the semi-official status of the other party, just The huge influence of the Golden Melody Award in China makes people dare not underestimate it.

In addition to the honors brought by the awards, being able to attend, preferably on stage as a guest of honor, is also a resource that is quite scarce in the eyes of the insiders. Because that means exposure.

This year, the media has developed, and everyone has begun to understand that exposure means fame and money.

But after receiving the invitation letter, Li Qian thought about it and refused.

Liao Liao and He Runqing should go to them. They are all singers and first-line celebrities who are standing at the forefront. Although they no longer need any affirmation from the Golden Melody Award due to their status, they still have a good relationship with each other. necessary.

As for Cao Zhan, as the bass player of the Four Beauties, Cao Zhan signed a contract with Minghu Culture, and of course he is an artist of Minghu Culture, but whether he will participate in the Golden Melody Awards or not, whether he will be a guest of honor or not, Li Qian puts his autonomy All the power was handed over to Cao Zhan himself.

In the end, the answer given by Cao Zhan is that the Golden Melody Awards are still to be attended, but the guests of the award are exempted.

This idea is exactly the same as Li Qian.

Golden Melody Awards, go. Although it went last year. But it's just a waste of time, but I'm still going this year. It doesn't matter whether he gives awards or not, as long as he gives his due attitude, it's fine. Anyway, he is not too keen on those awards. But the presenters are really forgettable.

then. Qi Jie's reply to the organizer of the awards ceremony was: Liao Liao and He Runqing could be the presenters, but Li Qian and Cao Zhan felt that they were not famous and didn't want to be too famous, so they couldn't be the presenters.

To be honest, although in the [style_txt; pop music world, there are not one or two people with personalities, but there are not too many people who have the courage to refuse the invitation of the Golden Melody Award, or are willing to refuse the invitation of the presenter.

this way. It's a bit shameless, but for Li Qian and Cao Zhan, if you don't give it, you won't give it. They don't think that the honoree of the Golden Melody Award is so revealing, and they don't think that there is anything wrong with declining the invitation of the other party. .

I thought it would be over if I refused, and the matter just passed, but what Li Qian didn't expect was. A few days later, he received a call from Feng Yumin, who was appointed by the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV.

Strange to say. Li Qian's identity in front of people is first as a gold medal producer and gold medal songwriter, secondly as the lead singer of the four beauties, and as a man of the two queens. Arguably, this every identity. They are all inseparable from the music circle, but unfortunately, he is very unfamiliar with the variety show department of Huaxia TV station, and he almost does not know each other at all. But they are very familiar with the TV production center!

The TV drama production center of Huaxia TV Station, as the ace team of domestic TV drama production, has a director and three deputy directors. These four people can be said to be the top superstars in the entire domestic TV drama production industry. , Li Qian actually knew all of them.

Among them, Li Qian has the most familiar relationship with Feng Yumin. He is the one who made friends with each other. He also established a certain relationship with Deputy Director Lu Ruoying because of the soundtracks of the two dramas "Love in Troubled Times" and "The Greatest Love". In the last half year, we have eaten together twice, and we have become more and more familiar with each other, and gradually began to be called brothers and sisters.

But the variety show department of Huaxia TV... Li Qian didn't know anyone.

Because they knew each other very well, Director Feng called and said straight to the point, "Lao Zhao from the Variety Department called me and said you rejected their invitation?"

At that time, Li Qian had just finished the recording of "Let's Go For A Time" for Liao Liao, and his emotions had not been completely removed. Hearing this, he was still stunned for a while, and then he asked stupidly, "Who is Lao Zhao...?"

Feng Yumin explained: "The director of our Taiwan Variety Department, Zhao Yigu. The Golden Melody Awards Gala is what our Taiwan Variety Department is doing. Of course Lao Zhao is leading the charge."

"Oh…"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses. He instantly remembered the award presenter, so he said, "It's not interesting to be an award presenter. Even if it's a live broadcast, I definitely can't talk nonsense, so I'll give it back, but the award I'll still go to the ceremony! What's the matter, he's looking for you? What does that mean?"

Feng Yumin said: "It's not interesting, Lao Zhao called me when he knew that my father and I were familiar with each other, and wanted to find a time to have a meal with you and sit down. As you know, there are variety shows all over the country now. If you want to reform, the audience will become more and more difficult to serve. The pressure on Lao Zhao is probably not small. He should be trying to play some tricks through the live broadcast of the Golden Melody Awards. You, now you are the best at music in our country. , of course he wants to get closer to you."

After a pause, Director Feng said again: "However, I'm just talking in the middle, what do you think, what he thinks, I won't interfere. You can see for yourself, and you can give me a message. Son, I'll go back to him again, and I'll explain this matter."

After thinking about it, Li Qian was really hesitant.

For music, especially pop music, at the moment, album sales rank first, concerts, commercial performances, etc., can only be placed in the back row. Variety shows are fantastic, at best, when a new album is released. As a way of publicity, its importance to singers can be said to be in a very low position.

And for Minghu Culture, whether it's Liao Liao or He Runqing, their wrists are already big enough that as long as they are willing to appear, all the shows will be waited for, and the release of the album by the four beauties belongs to the kind of people who absolutely disdain What to do with overwhelming publicity, what show to show on the last show, etc. As for album sales, let it go, sell as much as you like. Anyway, Lao Tzu's music is that you can hear it, it's your blessing, if you don't like listening to it or don't want to buy it, just pull it down!

Therefore, if you just look at it from the moment, it is even the variety show department of Huaxia TV. Li Qian was also not interested.

But what's next?

According to the company's plan, the next two years, namely 1998 and 1999, will be the two years for the company to make full efforts. Zhou Ye will not talk about it, after all, it has not been finalized yet, but the three newcomers signed by the company last year, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan and Zhuang Meiyue, will start releasing albums in the past two years, while Rose Although the power is born out of Wuxing Wusu. There is no lack of topics and influence in itself, but a certain degree of publicity is still necessary.

Not to mention that in the near future, with the advent of the Internet age, when the music industry can no longer survive by releasing and selling albums, the weight of variety shows will surely rise to a height that cannot be ignored!

In addition... In fact, although Li Qian himself has never had any direct connection with the Variety Department of Huaxia TV, Qi Jie represents Minghu Culture. The relationship with there is not bad, in the Spring Festival evening that just passed. Minghu Culture has sung two solo songs in one breath, which is definitely the only one in the entire pop music world.

It should be said that regardless of the fact that the other party is the absolute leader of the domestic variety show industry, he has always been very face-saving.

So, Li Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by calling... In fact, you want me to be the guest of honor?"

Feng Yumin said "Hi". Said: "I don't know if I want you to be the guest of honor, but I mean, Lao Zhao just went up not long ago. The roots are hard, and it won't come down for a while. You make music, follow He contacted him, everyone sat down together, had a meal, had a cup of tea, chatted, there was no harm! As for the award presenters, how big of a deal could it be? What if you don't go? Can he still put the knife on your neck?"

Li Qian laughed, "That's right! Thank you for always calling me!"

Feng Yumin laughed and wanted to say something, but suddenly said: "By the way, I almost forgot, I heard Lao Zhao reveal that, there should be a lot of your nominations for this year's Golden Melody Awards, as long as you go, There will probably be two awards for you. Liao Liao and He Runqing from your company, needless to say."

Li Qian smiled, nodded and said, "Okay then, see you then. You can talk to the other side and see the time, I can do it anytime."

Feng Yumin heard the words happily and said: "Okay, listen to you!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Qian thought about it, picked up the phone again, and dialed a number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Sun Ruoxuan pretended to be surprised: "Oh my God, I am so excited, boss, teacher, you are so rare! We have known each other for more than two years, and this is the first time you called me. Phone! Although I'm not as pretty as Bingbing, I'm not that bad either!"

Li Qian smiled, ignoring her ridicule, and just asked, "I remember hearing from you, you seem to be very interested in being a host? Do you want to develop in this area in the future?"

Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes! Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

She is a person with a very smart mind, and her words are very fast. Just after the last sentence, she continued carelessly: "But that's all for later, I'm just thinking about making the new album well. Don't embarrass the boss! Help the boss make more money!"

Li Qian smiled again, thinking that her mouth and her sensitive mind are really suitable for being a host.

After thinking about it, Li Qian said: "Go back and ask President Qi to help you find someone to contact you, go to the Broadcasting Institute to find a teacher, and make up the class! Go back... Well, there should be an opportunity in this regard."

Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a second when she heard the words, "Boss, is it true or false?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "Don't ask nonsense, in short, you just need to prepare yourself. Well, at present, in addition to making albums and singing, your most important task is to find a professional teacher to make up for you. Do the host's homework. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!"

Sun Ruoxuan's thoughts, after Li Qian's words were finished, she didn't know how many sparks of thinking exploded in her mind, so she answered crisply at that time: "Follow the purpose! Don't worry, I will ask President Qi to help me when I turn around. Contact the teacher, and I will definitely go to make up lessons!"

...

Three days later, Feng Yumin was the host, and Li Qian met Zhao Yigu in the private room of a restaurant.

Zhao Yigu looked to be in his forties. Bai Bai was fat, not tall, and looked very kind.

After meeting, we were polite, and everyone had dinner first.

On the one hand, they are colleagues who are not under each other, and on the other hand, they are friends. The dinner that Feng Yumin invited was not too extravagant. It was simple and a few side dishes, plus two stir-fries for a soup, and the Gusu fruit wine with a low concentration of half a catty per person was refreshing and refreshing. After drinking the wine, everyone started. Gradually become familiar with each other, and then one bowl of fried noodles, this meal is explained.

Have eaten. The table was taken down, put on a good pot of tea, and then we started talking about things.

More than half of the soundtrack for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been done, and it has been finished recently. Feng Yumin is still very satisfied with the work handed over by Minghu Culture, but the soundtrack is only a part of the TV series. As the producer of the first domestic TV drama with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and an investment of up to 300 million yuan. There is obviously a lot of pressure on him - if he succeeds and his word-of-mouth ratings are booming, he will undisputedly secure the position of the chief celebrity of domestic TV dramas, but if he fails, although he will not be kicked out, but this The play was inevitably going to be a major waterloo in his artistic career.

so. Inside and outside the words, Feng Yumin and Feng Dao were a little worried.

In recent years, the quality and reputation of variety shows on domestic TV stations have been on the decline. The main reason is that as the media becomes more and more developed, today's audience has become more and more knowledgeable and is no longer as easy to coax as before. As the leader of domestic TV stations, Huaxia TV, especially the variety show department of Huaxia TV, is obviously the target of public criticism.

Last summer, the previous director of the Variety Department was transferred, and Zhao Yigu took over. It has only been half a year. This year's Spring Festival Gala is highly rated and has a good reputation. It can be regarded as a rare bright spot in the context of the overall decline of the current variety shows. But the Spring Festival Gala is only held once a year, and the good reputation of this Spring Festival Gala alone is obviously not enough to reverse the TV audience's worsening view of variety shows.

So, inside and out, Zhao Yigu is also under a lot of pressure.

On the contrary, Li Qian, compared to them, seemed very leisurely.

The late stage of "The False Monk" has all ended, and it is about to be released. Liao Liao's new album "Women's Flower" has been completed for more than half, and the studio recording work will be completed in a few days, and it is expected to be ready in mid-March. After finishing the later stage, it was completely announced, and the song selection for He Runqing's new album "The Price of Love" has been basically finalized. Recently, I am going to give her the songbook. It will take about a month and a half to finish it... In short, Li Qian All the current work seems to be in order.

In fact, the three of them sit together, one is the leader of domestic TV dramas, one is the number one figure in domestic TV variety shows, and the other is the chief celebrity of the domestic pop music scene. Once familiar with the topic, the topic is simply Never finish talking.

So, this deep chat went directly from lunch to dinner.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the three of them changed to a restaurant.

This time, it was different from noon. As the richest local rich man among the three, Li Qian invited guests and ordered a table of dishes. What he drank was no longer fruit wine, which was similar to drinks. Authentic Shanxi Fenjiu.

Three people, Feng Yumin is nearly fifty years old, Zhao Yigu is about forty-three years old, and Li Qian is twenty years old after the new year, but he is a brother and a brother when he drinks. Yes, the tone of speech has also gone up.

However, from the beginning to the end, none of the three people mentioned that Li Qian was the guest of honor.

In this dinner, which lasted for nearly ten hours, the planning of several TV variety shows was born, and the soundtrack cooperation for a big drama on Huaxia TV was finalized. Along the way, the vision of a variety talk show was reached Cooperation intention.

Huaxia TV bought the right to broadcast the live video of He Runqing's national tour concert for a total of five concerts in the next year. Huaxia TV has also pre-booked the first broadcast rights of the live video of Liao Liao's first national tour concert, which is expected to be held from July to September this year. And Liao Liao and He Runqing, as well as the upcoming new album mv of the Rose Power Group, will get more broadcast opportunities on Huaxia TV and will be focused on publicity. Of course, in return, this year, Liao Liao and He Runqing, as well as Rose Power, must participate in several Huaxia TV variety shows to help boost the ratings.

Then, Li Qian promised to help the variety channel make a theme music, and at the same time promised to write a few songs of public interest and publicity for them.

At present, Minghu Culture has all the qualifications required to be a pop music and a record company, but if it is a variety show, or even a TV series and a movie in the future, it still needs a lot of procedures and qualifications. In this regard, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, both Feng Yumin and Zhao Yigu are obviously enough to kill Li Qian in seconds. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Therefore, as soon as I heard that Li Qian actually intends to get involved in variety shows and film and television dramas, the two big coffees agreed to help with the relationship and qualifications. Feng Yumin also repeatedly asked Li Qian what kind of film he wanted to make with great interest.

It was really unbearable, and Li Qiancai reluctantly spoiled, saying that he was going to make a "mythical love action movie in ancient costumes".

...

This banquet will be dispersed until the evening.

The next day, Minghu Culture once again received an invitation letter from the sponsor of the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, inviting Li Qian to appear as a guest of honor.

I knew that I couldn't hide from the quiet on Saturday, so I didn't dare to say it to death yesterday, and sure enough...

Fortunately, I still wrote 5,000 words. (To be continued.)
