Perfect Life

Vol 3 Chapter 76: This is the coffee place

The backstage crowd gathered.

The so-called backstage is actually a large shed that was temporarily set up behind the stage by the organizer of the music festival a few days in advance. , stools, and there are long rows of row seats on the side, for people from all walks of life who come to the opening ceremony and performances to wait and rest.

When Li Qian, Liao Liao, and Zhou Hao came to the backstage, there were only famous and famous singers, and there were already thirty or forty people gathered here, plus accompanying musicians, managers, assistants, and other invited singers. There were two or three hundred people at the top of the record company, leaders of relevant departments, some famous or non-famous independent musicians, and the staff arranged by the organizer.

Actually this is not surprising at all.

Whether it is a music festival or a Golden Melody Award, every internal gathering in the industry will definitely have a more or less communicative effect in the end.

Qi Jie is not at home, this time Minghu Culture Company is led by Sun Meimei.

When Li Qian and the others got off the stage and came backstage, Sun Meimei, Wei Lan, Zhou Hao's manager Zou Wenhuai and assistant Liu Yan were already waiting at the entrance.

Li Qian said hello to Zou Wenhuai, and then entered the backstage.

Not to mention Liao Liao and Zhou Ai, it's just Li Qian, who has been in this circle for almost three years. Although basically they rarely make friends with anyone, they still have too much with this circle. intersection.

Many acquaintances of singers, musicians, and senior management of record companies came over to say hello. Li Qian responded with a smile on his face, and some of them even had a few small talk. Seeing Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Wang Huaiyu, he walked over, greeted them, bumped fists, and gave Wang Huaiyu a wink, Wang Huaiyu smiled and nodded at him.

Everyone has friends, both old and new. Meet at this time. Unknowingly, they gathered together, stood up and chatted together - in a sense, the circle of pop music is really not big. especially. The higher you go, the narrower the circle becomes.

Like Zhou Ye. Although he was the youngest in front of everyone, he still followed Liao Liao for a while. I joined the circle of Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu, although only occasionally interjected. But I suddenly felt that I was forced to be more than one level higher.

As for Zhou Ai, Huang Yuqing, and Zhao Xinfu, they are basically a circle. They are all about urban love songs and folk songs, and they all stayed together at Xinda Records. Naturally, there is a relatively common language.

Zhen Zhen is also here today, which is rare.

After chatting a few words with Cao Zhan and the others. Li Qian saw her and ran over to say hello and hello.

It should be said that before there is no personal contact. The impression that Zhen Zhen left to most fans, including Li Qian, was exceptionally tall. For example, in Li Qian's opinion, this eldest sister is not as good as Liao Liao, but in terms of courage and aura, she has to surpass Liao Liao by a lot. There is no way to do this. Who will let others be pioneers and pioneers? ! People are naturally entitled to the worship of the latecomers.

But after contacting him personally, saying hello and chatting a few words, Li Qian immediately felt that this eldest sister was not as arrogant as she imagined. In fact, if she is just chatting, she is more like a big sister. She treats people kindly and speaks slowly, which will give people an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Together with her husband, everyone chatted a few words, she took advantage of the situation to invite Li Qian to sing, and Li Qian agreed without hesitation.

Then, Xie Mingyuan beckoned him over.

Without exception, Mr. Xie Jinshun also came today.

The old man is the founder, founder and pioneer of the domestic pop music scene. He is still the honorary chairman of the Huaxia Musicians Association, the honorary chairman of the Huaxia Recording Association and the chief artistic consultant of Huaxia TV.

Respected, Taishan Beidou.

Li Qian has been in Beijing for nearly two years, but this is the first time to see him. Facing the old man, he was very respectful.

Standing with the Xie family and their sons, of course, there are no ordinary people.

Zhao Yigu, director of the Variety Department of Huaxia TV, Guan Liang, deputy director of Shuntianfu TV, Zhou Qi, vice chairman of the Huaxia Musicians Association and president of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and a director of the Ministry of Culture, surnamed Zhao, called Zhao Sicun.

Li Qian's age is undoubtedly the youngest.

He and Xie Mingyuan had known each other for a long time, and he had some friendship with Zhao Yigu. The two of them called him little brother, so apart from the old man Xie Jinshun, who was in his seventies, of course others had to call him little brother.

Before Li Qian came over, everyone was discussing the boycott of Chinese culture in Indonesia. Director Zhao quietly revealed that there will be a significant person visiting Southeast Asia in the near future.

In fact, as long as the incumbents are not extremely stupid, exporting their own culture to the outside world will be strongly supported. After Li Qian came, Director Zhao said straight to the point that he hoped that Xie Mingyuan and Li Qian would follow him when he went out to visit. And also directly revealed: This is the meaning of the top.

Xie Mingyuan is in charge of Sony Records, and he has always been the leader of the domestic pop music scene, while Li Qian has risen in the past two years, and Minghu Culture, founded by him, has gradually become one of the largest companies in the domestic pop music scene. Several of its singers are also overseas. A famous singer with a wide reputation both inside and outside.

When it comes to cultural export, both of them certainly have a say in record culture. The government wants to put pressure on several countries in Southeast Asia through visits, and bring them along with them, which is naturally the meaning of the title.

But Li Qian was a little hesitant when he heard the words, because regardless of his past or present life, he would always be subconsciously cautious when dealing with the government.

He can make music, make movies, make TV series, and try his best to promote and export Chinese culture, but in the end, he is just an artist, and does not want to be a mercenary for the government.

But after all, the other party is the director of the Ministry of Culture, and he is in charge of film and television, music, and art. National level, if you refuse, it doesn't seem to be very good.

So, he turned to look at Xie Mingyuan.

Xie Mingyuan smiled and said to Zhao Sicun: "How is it, Li Qian also hesitated? I'll just say it. Those of us who are engaged in art. In fact, we don't like to follow your official way. Doing things well, these official things are really not what we are good at. If you keep up with your head, don't embarrass us! "

Zhao Sicun chuckled. Promise to report it up, and the matter will stop there.

At this time, Zhou Qi, the dean of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, looked at Li Qian. Suddenly asked: "I just heard a few days ago that you have worshipped Mr. Cheng Yunshan as a teacher?"

Li Qian nodded yes.

Zhou Qi touched her hair. Dao: "Actually, when I finished listening to the album "The Sound of the Waves", I said, I should invite you to our academy. Even if you take an elective course first. Later, Huaiyu and the others recommended it. I've been thinking about it all the time. I even asked Senior Sister Lu personally, even your wife, and she highly recommended it. She even said the words 'introspection and avoidance of relatives', which is highly respected to you! How about it, do you want it? Think about it, take students with you in the past?"

Li Qian quickly smiled and waved, "Mr. Zhou, don't scare me, I'm still a student myself!"

Zhou Qi waved her hand indifferently, "I heard someone mention that students from the Film Academy came to our school to be professors, doesn't it feel a little wrong? I said that was nonsense! What happened to studying in the Film Academy? Can that cover up his achievements in music? There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher! Don't listen to some people's nonsense, at least me and our hospital are welcome to you! When do you want to come? Just give me a call, or tell Huaiyu to be a visiting professor first!"

Hearing this, Li Qian had no choice but to agree with a smile, saying that he would look back and think about it.

At this time, Mr. Xie Jinshun laughed and interjected, and said to Li Qian: "Go! This is not to add any honor to ourselves, whether we make music, make movies, or make literature or art. If you have this ability, you must pass on your comprehension and insights to the next generation, and pass them on! Only in this way can a good inheritance be formed, and our domestic culture can be better and better. it is good!"

Having said that, he looked at Zhao Sicun and said, "Tell me to say that this matter is as important as the promotion of Chinese culture to the outside world by your Ministry of Culture. One is internal excavation, internal cultivation, through generation after generation Cultural people, inherit, inherit, develop, do a good job of their own things, and then try to promote our culture through various means! Now your government is advocating and promoting the thinking of a great country, I see it like this To cultivate both inside and outside is the thinking of a great country!"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

But at this time, Li Qian said with a smile: "Master, to teach something, I am willing and willing, but I am still the 'next generation', I am not like you, I can't hold back. !"

Xie Jinshun laughed, waved his hand and said, "You can hold it! You can hold it! The things you make are top-notch in our country! How many people are your fans, if you still can't hold back, who can hold back? ?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

...

People are clustered together, and things are divided into groups.

This word has never been just a so-called "philosophy", it is truly reflected in all aspects of people's lives.

In the backstage at the moment, there are two or three hundred people gathered, large and small circles, as few as two or three people, as large as a dozen people, gathered together to chat, everyone's state is naturally relatively loose, and some To a certain extent, these so-called circles are always in flux—many people chat here and then run over there.

However, when Xie Jinshun, Zhou Qi, Zhao Sicun, Zhao Yigu, Guan Liang, Xie Mingyuan and others stood together, no one approached within a few meters. Even people who are close enough to speak, deliberately suppress their voices.

Big names in singers such as Zhen Zhen, Zhou Ai, Liao Liao, Zhao Xinfu, etc., know one or two people in this circle, have friendship, and can talk. After reaching it, they will be relatively respectful. Come over to say hello and say hello, but after a few words, he quickly flashes with interest. As for the juniors who don't have enough coffee positions, or who have less seniority, even if you are already popular enough, you don't even have the qualifications to come and say hello - such as Huang Yuqing, such as Li Xinru.

To put it simply, if the domestic music industry and the domestic pop music scene are likened to a pyramid, then this small circle of only six or seven people is the spire of the pyramid.

Everyone who is qualified to participate in this circle is a big man with a strong ear.

Liao Liao is the top singer among singers, and Zhou Hao is also a student of Mr. Xie Jinshun. It is said that they have already brushed the edge and are qualified to stand in this circle. But when they stood in this circle, they found that there were not many places for them to interject, so they were not comfortable to stay, after greeting the old man. Withdrew after a few words.

But when Li Qian came, he easily and freely integrated into this circle.

And strangely enough. Don't look at how young he is, but it happens, even from the perspective of a bystander. He was so young, standing among a group of old men and leaders. It didn't even feel inconsistent.

Even, in many people's hearts, they will feel: He stands there, worthy of the name!

only. Listening to Li Qian chatting happily with Xie Jinshun and others over there, there were even bursts of laughter from time to time. Among so many people in the background, how many people will have a feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, it is unknown.

...

Nine-twenty. The opening ceremony of the Changping Music Festival is about to begin.

Wang Xiaodao came back from the front, went to the backstage and glanced at it, and went straight to this direction. But there were still more than ten steps away, and when he saw Li Qian's profile from a distance, he was stunned for a moment, but suddenly stopped.

There are a lot of people in the backstage. You are talking to me, and it is very noisy, so even though it's only a dozen steps away, he still can't quite hear what is being said over there, but he can see clearly. His immediate superior, Director Zhao Yigu, was putting his arm on Li Qian's shoulder intimately, and he didn't know what he was talking about. In short, they all laughed out loud.

After walking a few more steps and getting closer, he began to hear that Director Zhao Yigu was saying: "My brother is good at drinking, but you have to pry slowly and soak him bit by bit before he dares to open it up. After drinking, that time I went to the TV production center with Lao Feng, Brother Feng, plus Qian, the three of us, from noon to the evening, he drank it, and he and the two of us had a drink. We both got drunk and he's all right!"

Wang Xiaodao's eyes suddenly widened and he stopped.

The eyebrows jumped a few times, and the center of the brain recited.

He paused in place for a few seconds, and then he stepped forward again, leaned over, and respectfully said: "Elder Xie, Director Zhao, Director Zhao, Director Guan, and Director Zhou, we are about to start, all of you should Get ready."

Everyone who was laughing and talking stopped when they heard the words and nodded.

Zhao Yigu also quickly retracted his arm, his face became serious again, and his leadership momentum returned to full force. He nodded lightly and said, "Understood, we will go over immediately."

Wang Xiaodao nodded and turned his head to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head subconsciously and glanced at Li Qian.

Coincidentally, because of his sudden arrival, Li Qian's eyes were falling on him.

The two looked at each other, Wang Xiaodao's heart suddenly tightened, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but Li Qian just smiled and nodded at him calmly.

Wang Xiaodao also smiled back at him, turned around and left.

Behind him, he heard what seemed to be Li Qian saying: "Master, I know that you must come to the music festival every year, so I specially prepared a song, please give me some advice, please don't leave early."

Then I heard the old man Xie laughing, "Okay! Good! So, are there any new songs to listen to?"

Wang Xiaodao took a deep breath, and then sighed again.

As an in-depth practitioner in the entertainment industry, Li Qian is of course well-known for a long time. He has always known that Li Qian is a famous songwriter and producer, and later became the lead singer of a famous rock band. But in his heart, he has always regarded Li Qian as a person on the same level as Liao Liao and Zhou Ai.

In addition, although Li Qian is very young, he also became famous at a young age. After graduating from college, he was directly admitted to Huaxia TV. In the second year, he began to act as the host of some large-scale variety shows. At the age of 25, he was already in the variety show department. He is one of the top three hosts, and he is well-known at home and abroad. He is also famous at a young age. Of course, he doesn't think that he is a famous host of the show, and his level is lower than that of Li Qian.

However, the scene he saw with his own eyes just now made him know clearly: it wasn't.

Now, at least for Li Qian, a mere songwriter, or producer, or the lead singer of a rock band, and the identity of the record company owner are no longer enough to represent his true status.

In the circle, everyone talks about the coffee position, so what is the coffee position?

The album sells a lot, the song has a good reputation, and it has a great influence among fans, or it has originality in style, even if the song does not sell well enough, but many high-level executives are willing to hold it... This is a coffee position.

However, it is no longer appropriate to use those things to measure the current Li Qian.

When he stood together with Mr. Xie Jinshun, Dean Zhou Qizhou, Director Zhao Sicun, Director Zhao, Director Zhao Yigu, Director Guan Liangguan, and Xie Mingyuan, and others, they could chat and laugh easily...

This is his coffee spot.

...

After Mr. Xie, several leaders finished their speeches in turn, and the Changping Music Festival officially announced the start.

Wang Xiaodao said very passionately: "There is such a band, they suddenly put out an album today when rock music has gradually declined, and from the first note, it ignited every drop of blood in our body! "

"His captain is one of the best bass players in the country, and he is also a well-known songwriter in the industry, as well as a well-known movie screenwriter, Cao Zhan, his rhythm guitar, and a well-known director in China, and Yu Bojun, his drummer, is The most famous super queen and national queen in China, Liao Liao, his keyboard player, is the top sheng player, suona player, pianist and violin player in China. He is also a professor at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and the principal of the Huaxia Chinese Orchestra. Sheng performer, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Wang Huaiyu, and his lead singer is the most famous top songwriter and producer in the industry, Li Qian!"

"It's these five people, it's them, in such an era when rock and roll is declining, they have carried the banner of rock and roll and brought us the best music enjoyment! Now, let's shout out their names together, they are…"

"Four beauties!"

"welcome!"

...

In the waiting area, listening to Wang Xiaodao's passionate introduction and the tsunami-like shouts of the audience, Li Qian turned his head with a smile, put his ear in his ear, and asked Liao Liao, "What are you doing?"

Liao Liao shook his head, "What are you doing?"

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he seemed to realize something.

But immediately, he shook his head slightly and whispered: "This person is too smart!"

Liao Liao shrugged, "I like smart people!" (To be continued.) Start a new website
