Li Mu just returned to the backstage, ready to drink saliva to wipe his sweat, but before he could sit down on his buttocks, he saw the stage, and Queen Wang suddenly smiled: "This song is really good, then, how about everyone listen to my version?"

Almost sprayed on the screen with a mouthful of water, Li Mu was speechless for a while, this was deliberate, right? Or did he learn it from Zhao Xuan?

Well, Miss Zhao Xuan innocently lay down on the gun..........

But there is one thing to say, this song, Queen Wang sings it is another taste, not that the rap is better than Li Mu, but that it has a completely different feeling, with a touch of bitterness and a hint of mature charm.

The same song, different emotional expressions, and vocal methods have created Wang Tianhou's unique singing characteristics, and at the same time, the live accompaniment band is busy enough, you must know that they have not rehearsed in advance, and they are completely following the emotions of the diva, which ordinary musicians really can't handle.

The three-hour concert is a difficult test for any singer, and after lip-twining, Wang Tianhou is exhausted when he finally gets off the stage.

However, looking at the satisfied expression on her face, Li Mu opened her mouth and swallowed some words of persuasion before she could say it, maybe this is the meaning of her comeback.

After entering the era of digital music, the biggest source of income for singers - record sales has become dispensable.

However, if you want to hold a concert in a first-tier city, you have to be a big name, and there are very few people in the entire Chinese music scene who can hold concerts in first-tier cities, such as Yang Sanjilang, all of his 32 concerts were held in second- and third-tier cities, and in fact, the number of fans in many shows is not much at all.

So the cake of the concert seems to be very tempting, but in fact, there are very few people who can eat it, of course, there are also people who are beyond their means, such as a musician who thinks he is very famous and dares to hold a concert in the Bird's Nest, but the audience at the scene is less than the security guard, and it once became a joke in the circle.

...........

Originally, this trip to the capital was over, and Li Mu's luggage was packed, but he unexpectedly received a call from Mr. Liu Dejiang, a folk music master he had worked with before.

For these masters who have studied national musical instruments all their lives and treated art as life for decades, Li Mu admires it from the bottom of his heart, and when he was invited by Master Liu, he naturally gladly went to the appointment, and even refunded the plane tickets he had bought.

As a result, when he arrived at the private room of the teahouse, Li Mu was stunned, there were too many people inside, and he originally thought it was a private party.

I didn't expect that several masters who had worked with me before were not to mention, and there was actually a director of CCTV, coincidentally, this invited him to the show a few days ago, but he refused, which is a bit embarrassing.

However, Li Mu has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, but he is thick-skinned, and he doesn't look at the director, but just greets several masters.

It made the director quite embarrassed.

After greeting for a while, Mr. Liu Dejiang finally opened his mouth: "Xiao Li, I heard that your work schedule has been a little tight recently, can you spare a little time to help our group of old guys?"

What kind of work is tightly arranged, in fact, Li Mu is fine at all now, it's just an excuse to perfunctory CCTV director, but people are sitting here now, they can't just slap people in the face, so they can only do it: "This, Liu Lao.......... Why don't you tell me what the hell is going on, I have a good idea in my heart?"

To be honest, in recent years, CCTV's variety shows have given Li Mu a really bad impression, especially the Spring Festival Gala, lip-singing is his bottom line, which is absolutely untouchable, this is a matter of principle.

Of course, CCTV's early variety shows are not what they are now, such as Zhengda variety shows, lucky fifty-two, happy dictionaries, etc., are all groundbreaking programs.

Especially the early Zhengda variety show, it can be said that it opened the horizons of a generation at that time, allowing many people who are not qualified to go abroad to appreciate the customs of other countries in the world.

Liu Lao said to the CCTV director: "Director Liu, why don't you introduce the situation of this show to Xiao Li, we don't know everything." ”

Director Liu nodded: "Mr. Li, in fact, in order to respond to the country's protection and inheritance of national culture, our CCTV three sets are ready to create a folk music column, but you also know that folk music is in decline, if it is just folk music, it is not very attractive to the audience, so we will consider whether to introduce some elements of pop music." ”

"In terms of pop music, we can't think of a second choice in the current Chinese music scene. ”

Even if Director Liu said this very politely, his tone was also a little flattering, but Li Mu still didn't plan to agree, it wasn't that he was embarrassed, the key was that as soon as he heard Director Liu's words, he understood that this was a political task, and the CCTV program team only regarded it as a political task to complete, and they had no similar experience at all.

It's not nice to speak, but now the requirements for the production team for the recording of variety shows have reached a demanding level, no matter how good the idea is, it can't be implemented, and it is always in the air, which is why Li Mu has not interfered in the production of variety shows for so many years.

Li Mu also has to think about his reputation, how can he not cherish his feathers when he gets mixed up in the entertainment industry, and participating in a bad show may ruin the good image of the business that he has managed so hard.

This is still a case where the studio is not listed, and if it is listed, it may even directly affect the company's stock price.

Seeing that Li Mu never spoke, Liu Lao glanced at the other masters: "Xiao Li, do you have any concerns? You might as well say it, or if you have any requirements, you can also mention it to Director Liu, or just because we owe you a favor..........

Li Mu waved his hand again and again: "Liu Lao, several masters, you are serious, of course I want our folk music to be good, but with all due respect, if you want to shoot such a large-scale folk music variety show now, it is not possible to shoot it with a single shot of the brain, from copywriting planning to real shooting, to post-editing, there is no similar experience in China." ”

"Not to mention anything else, folk music is different from ordinary pop music, and can only be shown in the form of pure music, but how many of today's audiences are willing to watch such pure music programs?"

"Secondly, since we are going to hold such a program, if it is just a simple display, it will be too monotonous? We must set up the competition link, how to set the rules of the competition, how to highlight the highlights of folk music, how to ensure the fairness of the review? Have you all thought about these questions?"

Li Mu originally thought that after saying a few words, he would be able to bluff everyone, and then everyone would go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lao suddenly laughed and said: "Director Liu, I'll just say, this show, find this kid as soon as possible." ”

"............." Li Mu came back to his senses at this time, and his feelings were all agitated before, no wonder Director Liu, as a CCTV director, was so "soft".

"Hehe, Liu Lao, I, this is all on paper........... Li Mu smiled, trying to struggle again.

Director Liu said: "Mr. Li, let me answer your question just now, first of all, it is precisely because this program is a political task that we CCTV will pay special attention to it, from the preparation of the program group to the selection of contestants, the best resources in the country will be gathered in our hands, at this point, I believe that it is incomparable to any satellite TV anywhere, only we CCTV have such energy!"

Director Liu's words were categorical, and there was a momentum in his tone, Li Mu couldn't help nodding secretly, this is CCTV's bearing.

I have to say that Li Mu was a little moved, it is true that the ship is too big to turn around, but when it comes to sailing in the open sea and conquering the stars and seas, it has to be such a giant ship, in fact, there are similar folk music programs in another time and space, such as "Chinese Music Ceremony", but unfortunately Guangdong Satellite TV can only be regarded as a second-tier satellite TV in the country, and the resources are actually very scarce, and they have little experience in large-scale variety shows.

was originally a very good program idea, but the result was unsatisfactory in all aspects, and it completely relied on the top performance of a group of folk musicians to support the ratings of the program.

In fact, this is a very failed variety show, but any popular variety show must be a bonus to the contestants, and the outstanding performance of the contestants is fed back to make the show more exciting, which is a virtuous circle.

"These are part of the contestants' information, all of which are folk music masters that we have invited all over the country, and this is the planning case that our program team has done, Mr. Li might as well take a look. Director Liu was secretly happy when he saw Li Mu's expression, this is a play, and quickly took out a stack of documents from his bag.

Li Mu hesitated, but still took it, and turned a few pages of the player's information casually, and couldn't help but sigh: CCTV is worthy of CCTV, these players are all folk music masters with unique skills, including many inheritors of folk music families, and many little-known musical instrument masters hidden in the folk.

Liu Lao glanced at the rest of the masters, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Li Mu, this kid is different from ordinary artists, he doesn't have so many scruples, and he behaves according to his own preferences, not to mention CCTV's new program, even the Spring Festival Gala has never seen him give face, and there is no shortage of money for this product, even if he gives him half of the program's funds, he may not be able to agree.

Fortunately, he still has a sense of awe for folk music, and such young artists are really rare.

However, when Li Mu opened the planning copy for less than three minutes, his face became ugly, and he sneered and put the document on the tea table, and was silent.

Director Liu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, are you not satisfied with this copy? ”

"There's no need to change it, let's push it to redo it. Li Mu waved his hand, it was not that he declared that he was taking the master, but that this planning copywriting was really bad.

"The rules of your game, after two duels, the six groups of players will be eliminated in the last place in the comprehensive score, and then the other players will fill the position, and it is completely a copied singer, and the copy is so bad, the audience score is not mentioned, and what is a good, very good, very good voting method that represents one to three points respectively, can the audience not scold his mother after watching it?" Li Mu also didn't save any face, in his opinion, this copywriting was not new, and he also made this kind of so-called "innovation" that was self-righteous , after reading it, he doubted how this copywriting and planning skills got into CCTV.

Director Liu was criticized by Li Mu and his face was a little unbearable, he actually reviewed this copy, and he thought it was not bad at the time, but what people said was indeed to the point, and no novelty was the biggest original sin of variety shows.

"Then, if it is based on Mr. Li, how do you think this competition should be set up?"

Li Mu didn't answer immediately, his right index finger kept knocking on the table, making a crisp sound, and Liu Lao and several masters also looked at him intently.

After a while, Li Mucai put away his right hand, snapped his fingers and said, "Director Liu, have you ever thought that we can play by ourselves behind closed doors like this, the pattern is a little too small?"

"Huh?" Director Liu was a little confused for a while, since it is a program to promote folk music, isn't it just to play in China?

A meaningful light flashed in the eyes of Liu Lao and the other masters, and they opened their mouths, but they didn't say anything.

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Liu Lao, you should also know that folk music has withered, and many musical instruments have even been lost in China, but they have been carried forward in Japan...........

Before he finished speaking, Director Liu was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Mr. Li, you, won't you want to invite Japanese folk music players to participate in our show?"

It's no wonder that Director Liu was taken aback, originally he just wanted Li Mu to propose amendments to the rules of the competition, but who would have thought that this thing would directly overturn all their previous ideas.

Seeing Li Mu's affirmative nod, Liu Lao and several masters also sighed, if this show is really held according to Li Mu's vision, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole society, and the attention of folk music will naturally rise at that time, which is indeed a good thing, but once the Japanese players are introduced, it means that the nature of the whole show has completely changed, and winning or losing will become a social issue.

The previous China-Japan-Korea Singer King Championship is a good example, if it wasn't for Wang Tianhou to win the championship in the end, I am afraid that all the Chinese players participating in the competition will be strongly condemned by public opinion.

This plan is too risky, of course, more importantly, in fact, Liu Lao and they all know in their hearts that the development of Chinese folk music has been stagnant in recent years, but the Japanese side has been committed to the promotion of folk music.

Moreover, the perception of the entire Chinese range is still generally in the idea that "folk music is our traditional musical instrument and has a rich heritage of 5,000 years", which is different from pop music, after all, Japan is a well-deserved NO1 in Asian pop music, even if you lose, you can still find a little excuse in your heart.

But if you lose in folk music, can you imagine what kind of shock it will cause?

Opening your eyes to the world is easy to say, but in reality, it takes courage to face reality! It is difficult for ordinary people to have such courage, and they often blame the players.

The sweat on Liu Dao's forehead came down, and he had been thinking about the feasibility of Li Mu's plan........... I have to admit that this scheme is very tempting.
