Perfect Life

After the time entered May, the film and television department of Minghu Culture finally started to get busy again.

Han Shunzhang and Huang Wenjuan are two of the best producers in Minghu Culture at present. Han Shunzhang is stable. After a few dramas, he can definitely be on his own. Huang Wenjuan has been thrown into the "Legend of the New White Lady". " and the crew of "On the Road" may not be able to be on their own until now, but they are already a very competent deputy.

So, Jin Han led people around to choose the scene, and Han Shunzhang and Huang Wenjuan started to prepare bit by bit for the shooting of "Meteor Garden".

It is planned that by the end of this month, casting for this new drama will begin, and filming will start in mid-May. Since there are only 20 episodes, the amount of filming is not too large. It is planned to complete the filming in about 50 days.

Li Qian will serve as the producer and supervisor of this play. In addition, he is of course the screenwriter, but that's all. He is not prepared to interfere in this play from pre-production to mid-shooting to post-editing.

For him, firstly, he believed in Jinhan's level, and secondly, he was not afraid even if the path went a little crooked, just to further temper Jinhan's ability to shoot this kind of commercial production.

From the beginning, he had high hopes for Jin-han, so as long as he does it, he is not afraid of his mistakes.

At present, Li Qian's main job is not only to continue to stare at Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing's new album recording, but also to intervene in the production of Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao's new album. The selection is only halfway through. He will take time to fly to Changsha House every week to supervise the editing and processing of the later stage. Each episode must be signed and approved by his chief planner and first producer. broadcast.

Of course, in addition to this, he has a very important job recently, that is, under the introduction or leadership of Teacher Chen Kefang, he will seriously visit several brothers and sisters one by one, and discuss them one by one seriously.

Then, soon, the screenwriter team of Minghu Culture Film and Television Department was established.

At this time, the Voice of China radio station released another week's golden song on-demand list, and then, even though Li Qian was already mentally prepared for this, he was forced to temporarily turn his attention back to the music scene.

However, the subsequent development of the matter made even him stunned!

To the current level of Li Qian, with his long-standing reputation, status in the music world, and people's inner positioning of him, whether it is fans or music critics, the evaluation standard for him is already another dimension. Most of the other singers in the country are different.

From the standpoint of a higher, or the highest requirement, is "The First Experience of Love" a success or a failure?

No one can draw a conclusion.

To judge an album of Li Qian, its sales volume is of course still an extremely important measure, but it is not the only one.

Because you can always come up with some fresh and good works, everyone hopes that you will be able to come up with other fresh and good works one after another, and these works should be praised by everyone.

Li Qian did not disappoint. He took out "Jiangnan", "First Experience of Love", "William's Castle" and "Indian Old Turtledove", which once again expanded the domestic music genre. width.

But Li Qian is also disappointing, because this time, he is unusually aggressive.

In another time and space, Jay Chou had just made his debut, and several consecutive albums were selling well, but in a wider market, in fact, the mainland market, he has always been the youngest and most fashionable part of the fans. The person who will like it, for other fans, for his cool, alternative music, um, mainly the rap part, of course, there is also the problem of his slurring of words, everyone I don't want to accept it, I have heard it, I don't like it, I want to complain, and more people don't want to listen to it at all.

Until then, several Chinese-style R&B songs continued to become popular, and a group of singers headed by him continued to cultivate the niche music of rap and singing in the past few years. In the end, more and more People are willing to put aside their prejudices and listen to his works seriously. Then, they first like his Chinese style R&B, and then everyone even began to like Zhou's rap.

Then again, rap is still a niche, but almost everyone knows it, and most fans have basically no prejudice against it and completely accept it. The reason why it continues to be a niche is mainly that after Jay Chou, there is no one or even more singers with sufficient standards to continue to cultivate.

In contrast, Jay Chou, who just debuted two years ago, is incomparable to Li Qian in 2000, regardless of his status in the world, his influence in the music world, and his influence on fans.

A reluctant analogy is roughly equivalent to Jay Chou releasing his first album doing rap, which is similar to Mr. Liu Huan’s sudden release of a new album for rap—this album was released by Jay Chou, and can be classified as a very distinctive and Characteristic newcomers, but the same album, if it is released by Mr. Liu Huan, its meaning and message to the music world will definitely be completely different!

The latter seems extremely aggressive!

Therefore, although Li Qian is known as "the leader", and not only the leader of the fans, there are probably only a very few people in the music circle who do not recognize this title in their hearts, and more people, even opponents, are also concerned about this. I am very convinced, and the sales of this album are not bad. In the first two weeks and 12 days, the sales volume of Guangdongguan Bookstore has exceeded 100,000 copies, which is definitely the top sales. But this time, for this album, most of the industry has a "reserved opinion, temporarily silent" attitude.

Even among fans, you can feel the quarrel between the two tit-for-tat factions on the forum, and the evaluation of this album is indeed mixed.

When this week's golden song list came out, "Castle William" and "Old Indian Turtledove" actually made it to the list, and they were directly on the list in a way that made a big leap forward. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this should have proved that The excellence of these two songs proves that fans actually like these two works, and to some extent, it also proves that Chinese rap is not a dead road.

It can also be said that at this time, those comments that were originally intended to praise these two songs have come to be boldly thrown out, and the comments that were originally intended to be criticized can choose to keep their mouths shut.

But the reality is often so unexpected.

On the day that the Voice of China Radio Station's Golden Songs on Demand list just came out, Shuntian Yinyue Channel's "Big Guys Say Big Guys" took the lead!

Moreover, the guests in this issue are not ordinary musicians, they are professors of Shuntian Conservatory of Music and visiting professor of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Zhou Zhibin——

"Rap is good. Its popularity and popularity in Europe and the United States have proved that it is an indispensable genre of contemporary pop music, but what should rap, especially Chinese rap, do? I think Li Qian has opened a new genre. Bad head, especially in terms of his appeal and influence, the head he opens will have a particularly bad influence... Does rap mean slurred speech and babble?

I know that Li Qian has formally studied with a teacher and learned Beijing opera, and coincidentally, my teacher is his wife, Mr. Cheng Lu Shuming, so to a certain extent, I can call him a little junior brother. of.

Last year, I heard his "Rap Facebook" and his "Paradise". It was really amazing. I can say that it is the best Chinese contemporary pop music has developed in the past few decades. One of the best batches of works that came out, the songs he made for Liao Liao have been released internationally. I personally feel honored! And you can feel it, he really worked hard to learn Beijing opera! Although it is hard to say whether he can perform on stage, his research on Peking Opera is definitely not shallow!

When the teacher was celebrating her birthday, I went to pay her respects and chatted with her old man. She also praised Li Qian very much. My teacher, Mr. Cheng Yunshan, Li Qian's teacher, was also very pleased.

I remember that the old man personally told his disciples and us disciples of Lu Shi that Fang Shaobai, as the eldest disciple, had inherited all his skills and pursuits in Beijing opera, and could be regarded as the representative of the old students of the Cheng School, while Li Qian Tong is a disciple. Although it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to sing Peking opera in the future, in the matter of disseminating Peking opera culture and canvassing for Peking opera, he is no less energetic than Brother Fang Shaobai. !

At that time, Li Qian was said to be abroad and didn't come back. It was a girl who went to pray for Master Lu's birthday on his behalf, so I didn't have the chance to see him. It was a pity at the time. To be honest, I personally didn't even care about him for a long time before. It is admirable! I think he is a great genius sent by God to the Chinese music scene!

But as soon as "Castle William" came out, as well as "Old Indian Turtledove", I was completely stunned when I heard it. At that time, I couldn't help but ask: Li Qian, have you really learned about Beijing opera in recent years? Did you go to your heart? What about the Peking Opera chanting skills that Cheng Shigong taught you? Where did you run to? Rap, rap, what is rap? If you want to rap, there are so many domestic dramas, all of which have narration, you can't learn it, you have to copy and copy foreign ones? And foreign rap is not your routine..."

The next day, "Shuntian Daily" suddenly exerted force and published a signed article by Zhou Zhou, a well-known musician in the industry, with the title of "Deformed Combination of Chinese and Western——The Failure of Talking".

The article is written very professionally, from the lyrics, to the music, to the singing skills, the analysis is straightforward, and the criticism of Li Qian is also to the level of dog-blood sprinklers. This article, for ordinary readers who are not music majors, has a very unfriendly reading experience. It is said that this does not conform to the consistent tone of "Shuntian Daily Supplement", but the final conclusion of the entire article is that everyone can It is clear to see that the song "Fort William" is a complete failure except for the lyrics that are barely worth watching.

This is the most severe criticism Li Qian has encountered in the industry since he debuted in 1995 with Liao Liao's "Perseverance" and other headless works!

Therefore, this time, the supplement not only gave the front page headlines, but also gave a large introduction title on the front page guide of this issue of "Shuntian Daily".

As a result, the "Shuntian Daily" that day is said to be out of stock.

And at the same time, "Oriental Entertainment Daily", "Huaxia Variety News", etc., have followed up unexpectedly - you know, in terms of domestic music and entertainment circles, these newspapers are quite influential. , by no means can it compare to those entertainment tabloids that only report some gossip and scandals all day long!

And the many people who made their debut this time are by no means comparable to the so-called free music critics who write some manuscripts every day to earn manuscript fees. They are all well-known people in the music circle. Each has a certain influential "big man".

So, this time, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

All kinds of criticisms came one after another.

TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, online forums, etc., etc., when all kinds of news were collected by the propaganda department of Minghu Culture and put on Li Qian's desk, he took time to read it and could only smile bitterly.

From an objective point of view, even if he doesn't have the foundation to learn Peking Opera, and only talks about Li Qian's habit of singing, his rap will definitely not fall into the category of "unintelligible articulation".

But the problem is that most people in China, including quite a few professional musicians, have very limited exposure to niche music like rap, and Chinese rap is more in their eyes. "It's hard to be elegant", so when Li Qian, who sang "Once You", went to sing "William Castle", the feeling it gave them was obviously disappointing.

But after thinking about it, he still decided not to make a distinction. When he was blocked by reporters in an underground parking lot, facing countless microphones, he said: "I am in charge of writing songs, and I can also be in charge of singing, but I am in charge of writing songs. I'm not responsible for quarreling with people. When the song is released, whether it sounds good or not, let time judge!"

And when Li Qian's answer was published, the voice of the crusade suddenly became many times louder!

Negative words such as arrogance and self-righteousness were originally only a few people's comments on Li Qian, but now, more and more people began to detain them on Li Qian's head.

Two rap songs, set off a storm!

But that's not a bad thing for album sales.

On May 15th, Dongguan Bookstore's album sales chart was released. The first experience of love in its third week of listing sold more than 13,000 copies more than last week, with a weekly sales of 80,416 copies, continuing to hold steady. First!

But for the domestic music scene, this is not the most important news.

Even the merciless criticism of so many big people is no longer important.

On Tuesday, May 16th, the small newspaper "Yanjing Entertainment Life", which has always been known for its ability to discover celebrities, suddenly published a full two-page feature article - "The Woman Hidden Behind Li Qian!" 》

The full text is accompanied by a large number of blurry or clear pictures, arranged according to time and date. The closest one is Li Qian and Wang Jinglu walking hand in hand at the vegetable market. In the photo, the two are talking and laughing, each holding hands With shopping bags, fish, meat, and vegetables, the time distance is a little bit further. It is a photo of the two whispering at this year's Yangcheng Film Festival. At that time, Li Qian was lying in Wang Jinglu's ear and saying something. Wang Jinglu's eyes were slightly sideways. , a pair of clear big eyes glittering, bright and unpredictable.

Further ahead, there are photos of two people eating together in a restaurant, and there are photos of two people walking into the corridor together. Some are clear, some are fuzzy, but the body shape and appearance can be clearly distinguished.

Moreover, the timeline can be pushed back to September last year!

With these photos as evidence, no need to speak, everyone can instantly know the relationship between two people!

But at the very beginning of the two-page report, it was an interview.

And the person being interviewed was the professor of the Sainty Conservatory of Music who was the first to criticize Li Qian, Zhou Zhibin——

Reporter: I have heard your remarks when you were a guest on "Big Guys Say Big Guys". You have a negative attitude towards Li Qian's two recent Chinese rap works, "Castle William" and "Old Indian Turtledove". Right?

Zhou Zhibin: Then it's not called a song.

Reporter: According to what you said in the program, you are Mr. Lu Shuming's disciple, and Li Qian is Mr. Lu Shuming's husband and the disciple of the famous Peking Opera master, Mr. Cheng Yunshan, right?

Zhou Zhibin: Yes.

Reporter: You mentioned one of Mr. Lu's birthday banquets, saying that Li Qian didn't go at that time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ entrusted a girl to represent him to pray for Mr. Lu's birthday. Is it Liao Liao? Or Zhou Ai?

Zhou Zhibin (frowning): Neither. But Liao Liao also went.

Reporter: So, is that Ms. Qi Jie, the general manager of Minghu Culture? Do you know Ms. Qi Jie?

Zhou Zhibin (frowning): I don't know her, but I know her, not her. ... what are you asking?

The reporter took out a photo and asked: Is it this girl? (Note: The reporter took out the second picture)

Zhou Zhibin: Yes.

Reporter: So do you know what identity she went to?

Zhou Zhibin (frowning): Of course, it represents Li Qian! Forget it, don't ask, you're just asking for gossip! You go out, I don't accept your interview! go out!

(After Professor Zhou refused, the reporter of this newspaper had to interrupt the interview, but kept the recording of the interview at that time, and can provide evidence at any time.)

It should be said that from an outsider's point of view, the reporters of "Yanjing Entertainment Life" have basically sorted out the entire life line between Li Qian and Wang Jinglu from September last year to the present. Coupled with the interview with Zhou Zhibin and a large number of pictures, the facts are almost directly confirmed!

Moreover, they actually went to Jinan House, interviewed a few classmates in Li Qian and Wang Jinglu's class, and got some other corroboration: the classmates of the two people personally confirmed that the two of them started from the second and third year of high school, and some people said that they were Since the first year of high school, they have been very close, and everyone thinks that they are in love.

And then, it's Wang Jinglu's information that gets to the bottom!

According to various information, "Yanjing Entertainment Life" presumes that Li Qian and Wang Jinglu have been living together in a two-bedroom and one-hall in a residential area of ​​Shuntian Prefecture at the latest in the autumn and winter of 1998 or the beginning of 1999!

As soon as the newspaper came out, the world was in chaos!

came back. (
