Chapter 265: The Cotery
Sushi, sandwiches, fruit salad, smoked salmon sashimi, herb lamb, sizzling steak...
The reception dinner held in the banquet hall of the Olympic Sports Hotel was also in the form of a buffet, Luo Kai did it himself, brought a few things that looked very appetizing on the plate, and found a place to sit down with Cheng Xuan.
There are a lot of celebrities and artists at the scene, everyone is quite reserved, no one will eat and drink to ruin their image on such an occasion, many people are chatting and laughing with a glass of champagne or cocktails.
Luo Kai ate two sandwiches, plus a steak and it was about the same.
Asked the waiter to remove the plate, and he asked for a pot of black tea to drink slowly.
Although Luo Kai was able to recognize most of the singers and stars present, he basically didn't have any friendships, so he naturally wouldn't go up to talk to others.
At this year's [Pop Music Chart] award ceremony, Dream Media came over alone, Dream Media experienced a painful civil strife and split last year, and naturally there was nothing that could be done.
But Li Mengru Li said that by next year's [Pop Music Chart], if the singers under Dream Media Media do not have three, five or seven nominations, then she will write her name upside down.
Of course, Luo Kai himself is not very fond of socializing, especially in this kind of vanity fair, where most people wear a mask and say insincere words.
He was happy to hide in the corner and enjoy the silence, he wouldn't stay here for long anyway.
According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, after the reception dinner, the celebrities present will take the courtesy car provided by the hotel to the Olympic Sports Center to participate in the red carpet ceremony.
"Brother Kai..."
Cheng Xuan saw that the time was almost up, and said to Luo Kai: "Then I'll go first." ”
He is Luo Kai's assistant and will not take the courtesy car with Luo Kai, so he has to walk to the Olympic Sports Center in advance.
The Olympic Sports Hotel is only a few hundred meters away from the Olympic Sports Center.
Luo Kai nodded: "Okay, let's meet over there." ”
As soon as Cheng Xuan walked on the front foot, a handsome young man walked over on the back foot and said politely: "Teacher Luo Kai, I am Ms. Cheng Yuwan's assistant, Ms. Yuwan wants to invite you over to chat, I don't know if it is convenient for you?"
Cheng Yuwen?
Luo Kai couldn't help but be stunned.
Cheng Yuwan knows that she is a very famous talent in the pop music world, her lyrics are written very well, and what she is best at is love songs, and several representative works can make people cry.
In addition to writing lyrics, she is also a best-selling author, and many of her works have been adapted into film and television dramas.
Luo Kai listened to Cheng Yuwan's songs and watched the movie adapted by her, it was seven or eight years ago, but he really didn't know Cheng Yuwen in his life.
"Since it was Ms. Yu Wan who invited you..."
After thinking for a while, Luo Kai got up and said, "Then I'll go and visit." ”
The handsome assistant smiled, "Please follow me." ”
Under his guidance, Luo Kai came to the other side of the banquet hall, where three rows of sofas were half-enclosed.
There were more than a dozen people sitting there chatting, some of them were gray-haired, some were young and beautiful, some were elegant and gentle, and some were crazy, and they were talking lively.
One of the graceful women sitting in the center is Cheng Yuwen.
Cheng Yuwen is in her forties this year, but she is well maintained, she looks like she is in her early thirties, her appearance is not beautiful, but she has a very special temperament, gentle and easy-going.
In fact, Cheng Yuwen is also a quite romantic figure, she has been married three times before and after, and she is still single.
When Luo Kai looked at the other party, Cheng Yuwen raised her head as if she was conscious, just opposite Luo Kai's gaze, she smiled, got up and said, "Mr. Luo Kai, hello." ”
"Hello, Lady Feather. ”
Luo Kai still admires Cheng Yuwen's talent very much, he looked at Cheng Yuwen's photos on the Internet, but compared with the real person, it was really a lot worse, mainly because the photos couldn't capture her unique temperament.
The next moment, the eyes of everyone present focused on Luo Kai.
Curious, surprised, indifferent, excited, and so on.
But Luo Kai doesn't know any of these people, and I don't feel like they are celebrities, including the pretty girl.
Cheng Yuwan probably saw Luo Kai's doubts, and said with a smile: "These are all songwriters in the circle, as well as arrangers and producers, who were invited to participate in the award ceremony of the list." ”
No wonder...
Luo Kai suddenly came to his senses and nodded to greet everyone.
"Sit, sit, sit..."
Cheng Yuwen said: "Let me introduce you, this is Mu Sunset..."
"Hello, hello. ”
Cheng Yuwan introduced Luo Kai one by one from left to right, most of them are songwriters, some Luo Kai has heard the name, some feel very unfamiliar, and the two producers don't know each other, they should be quite famous.
This is mainly due to the fact that Luo Kai has been in the entertainment industry for too short, and the scope of his communication is usually very small, so it is normal to meet people without knowing anyone.
Of course, he will still say the polite words of Jiuyang.
In fact, this is a small circle dominated by Cheng Yuwan, and everyone here, well, is a cultural person.
After all the introductions, Cheng Yuwan said with a smile: "Luo Kai, there is no other meaning to invite you over this time, that is, everyone knows each other, and they are all engaged in music work, so it will be convenient for communication in the future." ”
Having said that, Luo Kai felt that her purpose of inviting herself to join this small circle was probably not so simple, and she always felt that her smile was a little weird.
But there was clearly no malice.
At this time, Tao Jun, the oldest person present, said: "Luo Kai, you are a very talented singer-songwriter, you can be nominated for the best composition, and it is also the recognition of you by the [Pop Music Chart], you will continue to work hard to achieve better results in the future, and the future still belongs to you young people." ”
His words were old-fashioned, with a bit of condescension.
Luo Kai didn't like the other party's attitude of relying on the old and selling the old, but he still smiled on the surface: "Teacher Tao praised it falsely." ”
This Tao Jun is a veteran songwriter, and he belongs to the seniors in the circle, and Luo Kai has also admired him for a long time.
It's just that it's better to be famous than to meet.
And Luo Kai also heard another meaning in Tao Jun's words, that is, the best composition did not fall on him.
Tao Jun is the judge of the [Pop Music Chart].
"Luo Kai..."
A middle-aged man sitting on the right asked, "I heard that you are asking for a million dollars for a song now?
It doesn't seem to be very convinced, with a smile, but also a little disdainful,
Luo Kai remembered that this seemed to be also a composer, and it seemed that Sun Jingtong was coming.
He smiled and said, "Almost..."
Luo Kai's heart is bright, this is probably the so-called literati light-I worked hard to create a song and sell it for 100,000 yuan, and the price of a song of yours is ten times that of mine, is the quality also ten times that of mine?
He continued: "The original 500,000 songs were bought out of copyright, but recently because there were too many people who came to invite songs, the price has increased according to the laws of the market. ”
The smile on Sun Jingtong's face stiffened.
Luo Kai's answer was an understatement, as if he was explaining an insignificant little thing - I went to eat steamed buns for three yuan today, and my appetite has risen recently, and I ate five buns for three yuan, and that's it.
But when he heard it, he didn't feel right, a kind of powerlessness and grievance that was completely crushed.
Sun Jingtong is also a well-known composer in the circle, writing a song for about 100,000 yuan, he heard others talk about Luo Kai's offer before, so he didn't believe it much.
Now that I have seen Luo Kai himself, I naturally have to ask, and I also have the intention of piercing the cowhide.
However, Luo Kai directly knocked him with a smack, so that he almost didn't suffocate on the spot.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.
Tao Jun frowned, obviously a little displeased.
Luo Kai was unconscious, and unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
He doesn't need to look at anyone's eyes to live, his face is given by others, and his face is lost by himself.
Cheng Yuwan looked at him with interest, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "Well, I see that the time is almost up, let's go down first, shall we?"
This is the end of the conversation in this small circle.
