Chapter 465: The Problem Halfway Up the Mountain
Lu Manqing admits that she is not a good-tempered person, even in her previous life, in such a difficult working environment, she did not learn how to compromise and endure well, no way, her family gave her enough confidence and security, so that she could be more self-conscious, instead of wronging herself.
After arriving in this world, it is even more so, Lu Manqing may have gone smoothly all the way, and he was the most angry before, and it was nothing more than when he took Ling Jingtian to the audition, he encountered a little bit of difficulty that was not difficult, and in the end, she simply shook her hand and left.
But now, in the face of such ridicule from this man named Kenny Bennett, Lu Manqing only felt that there was a fire burning wildly in her chest, almost burning her reason, but Lu Manqing still restrained himself from getting angry.
She kept reminding herself that this was the Grammys' lounge, she was facing international unfriendly people, and this was not an occasion for her to make a fuss, and she was provoked to lose her mind in a few sentences, and it was not what a mature agent should do.
After silently reciting the self-made heart mantra countless times in his heart, Lu Manqing finally calmed down, pulled a smile on his face, and said, "People's minds and patterns are related to the level of people, and the judges of the organizing committee are all very good people, so they naturally have such a mind, not to mention, music has no borders, no matter which country people are, their appreciation of music is the same." ”
"Oh, of course, there are stupid pigs in the world who don't know how to appreciate the beauty of music, but they are in the minority, you say, Mr. Bennett. Lu Manqing couldn't hold back a sarcastic sentence in the end.
Kenny Bennett's eyes were about to release knives, and he could naturally hear Lu Manqing's ridicule, just like music knows no borders, scolding people doesn't seem to know any borders, as long as it's not good, even if you say it with a smile like a flower, people who can listen to it have a surge of emotions.
It's a pity, just as Lu Manqing is reluctant to make trouble here, Kenny doesn't have the courage to make something happen in the Grammys' lounge, although he gritted his teeth, Kenny still snorted coldly, took out the recorder and notebook he brought, and prepared to start the interview.
Lu Manqing suddenly asked, "These two, don't you want to introduce me, Mr. Bennett?" Lu Manqing pointed to the two staff members who came with Kenny Bennett, followed by the one at the back, with a big camera hanging around his neck, and he knew that this must be a photographer.
Although New York Fashion Weekly has a high circulation and is quite popular in the United States, it is only a magazine after all, and it does not need to record any video, so there is no need for a videographer, as long as the photographer follows the shooting.
It stands to reason that a combination of a reporter and a photographer is completely sufficient, and the combination of three people Lu Manqing really doesn't understand it, thinking that in Bennett's situation, there should be no need for an assistant.
"Hello Mr. Lu, I'm Sam Dick, a reporter for New York Fashion Weekly, this is my first time at the Grammys to learn how to interview, I hope you don't mind. Kenny didn't mean to introduce at all, but the young man behind him, who was suspected of Lu Manqing's identity, automatically stood up and introduced himself.
"Hello, Sam, welcome. Lu Manqing's smile was like a spring breeze, and he directly called the other party's name, instead of calling the other party's surname and Mr. like Kenny Bennett, this attitude is clear.
"It's my pleasure. Sam is also pleasantly surprised, he has been a member of New York Fashion Weekly for almost five years, from an intern reporter all the way to today, Sam has also put in a lot of hard work, and he is quite excited to come to the Grammys for an interview, even if he is just an assistant, or even, it can be said that he is a listener.
After confirming the identity of the other party, Lu Manqing didn't completely leave Kenny alone, and after a polite greeting, he signaled for the interview to begin.
Kenny snorted coldly again, turned on the recorder, and his face became two points more serious, "May I ask Mr. Ren Xiangyang, is the original songwriter of your shortlisted song a Chinese?"
"That's right. Ren Xiangyang was concise and to the point, and he also didn't have any good feelings about Kenny Bennett.
"Where's Mr. Season End's songs?"
"Same. At the end of the season, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were also cold.
"Then I have a very curious question, I don't know if the two of you can answer it, as far as I know, there have not been any excellent pure English songs in the Chinese music scene for many years, oh no, maybe I can be more accurate to say, the Chinese music scene has never written a pure English song that can sell well in Europe and the United States, I want to know, how did you get such an excellent work?" Kenny said with his eyebrows fluttering, and seeing the face of the person opposite him becoming more and more condensed, he was excited in his heart.
"The question is simple. Lu Manqing said, this kind of question that obviously smells of gunpowder is not suitable for his own artist to answer, "The reason why you are so curious is entirely because you don't have enough knowledge and have too little awareness of Huaguo, which leads to your narrow vision." ”
"There are countless excellent creators in China, and there are countless excellent music, just because our creators have put more energy into the creation and research of Chinese style music, so over the years, we have not focused on Western music, and with the development of Chinese music, we have also incorporated Western music into our efforts with the same broad mind, I think in the future, there will be more excellent English music in China, and excellent singers have come here." ”
Lu Manqing's answer was not leaky, but his face was really not good-looking, this Kenny Bennett's gunpowder smell was too much, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was full of hostility to them, not to mention the current confrontation, Lu Manqing was sure that when this one went back, the articles he sorted out would definitely be able to blacken them to the point that they were completely skinned.
How much effort will it take to solve it at that time, to go to public relations, Lu Manqing just thought about it, and felt that his brain was buzzing, and when he looked at Kenny Bennett again, his eyes were even more condensed.
Since she failed to solve the problem fundamentally, she can't wait until the end to solve the problem, and Lu Manqing doesn't like it very much......
