There is still half a month before the annual Golden Melody Awards ceremony, and Minghu Culture Company suddenly received a special invitation - the invitation to participate in the award ceremony was received a year ago, and this time, the company received an invitation letter inviting Li Qian, Liao Liao, He Runqing and Cao Zhan as award guests.

Starting from this year, the Golden Melody Awards will be restructured, and the most important change is that it will officially change from the previous recording and broadcasting to live broadcasting.

For people begging for food in the music circle, especially in the pop music circle, whether it is a producer, an author, or a singer, it is obvious that few people dare not give face to the Golden Melody Awards - not to mention the semi-official status of the other party, the huge influence of the Golden Melody Awards in China alone is not to be underestimated.

In addition to the honors brought by the awards, being able to attend, and preferably being a guest on stage, is also a scarce resource in the eyes of insiders. Because it means exposure.

In this year, the media developed, and everyone began to understand: exposure means fame and money.

But after receiving the invitation letter, Li Qian thought about it and still refused.

Liao Liao and He Runqing should go to them, they are both singers and first-line celebrities standing at the forefront, although with their status, they no longer need any affirmation from the Golden Melody Award, but it is still necessary to have a good relationship with each other.

As for Cao Zhan, Cao Zhan, as the bass player of the four beauties, signed a contract with Minghu Culture, and of course he is also an artist of Minghu Culture, but whether he wants to participate in the Golden Melody Awards or not, whether he wants to be an award presenter, Li Qian gave all the autonomy to Cao Zhan himself.

In the end, Cao Zhan's answer was that the Golden Melody Awards still had to be attended, but the award presenters were exempted.

This idea is exactly the same as Li Qian.

Golden Melody Awards, going to go. Although I went last year. But it's just a trip for nothing, but I'm still going to go this year. It doesn't matter if you give awards or not, as long as you have enough of the attitude you should have, it's fine, anyway, he's not too keen on those awards. But the award presenters, it's really forgotten.

Thereupon. Qi Jie's reply to the organizers of the award ceremony was: Liao Liao and He Runqing can be award presenters, but Li Qian and Cao Zhan feel that they are not celebrities and don't want to be too famous, so they can't be award presenters.

To tell the truth, although in the pop music world, there are not one or two people with personalities, but there are not too many people who have the courage to refuse the invitation to the Golden Melody Awards, or in other words, they are willing to refuse the invitation of the award presenter.

Do so. It is inevitable that there is some facelessness, but for Li Qian and Cao Zhan, if they don't give it, they won't give it, they don't think that the presenters of the Golden Melody Awards show their faces, and they don't think that there will be anything wrong with declining the other party's invitation.

originally thought that if he refused, it would be over, and the matter passed like this, but what Li Qian didn't expect was. The next day, he received a call from Feng Yumin from the Huaxia TV drama production center.

Strange to say. Li Qian's identity in front of people is first of all a gold medal producer and gold medal songwriter, followed by the lead singer of the four major beauty bands, and another identity, that is, the man of the two queens. It can be said that each of these identities. is inseparable from the music industry, but on the contrary, he is very unfamiliar with the variety show department of Huaxia TV, and he almost doesn't know each other at all. But it's very familiar with the TV drama production center!

Huaxia TV's TV drama production center, as the trump card team of domestic TV drama production, has a total of one director and three deputy directors, these four people, it can be said that they are standing at the top of the entire domestic TV drama production industry, Li Qian actually knows them all.

Among them, Li Qian has the most familiar relationship with Feng Yumin, and he is the kind of friend who forgets the year, and the deputy director Lu Ruoying, and because of the soundtracks of the two dramas "Love in Troubled Times" and "The Biggest Love", they have established a certain connection, and even in the last half a year, they have eaten together twice, and they are getting closer and closer to each other, and they gradually begin to be commensurate with each other.

But Huaxia TV's variety show department ...... Li Qian didn't know anyone.

Because they know each other very well, Director Feng called and went straight to the point, saying, "Lao Zhao of the variety show department called me and said that you rejected their invitation?"

At that time, Li Qian had just finished the recording of "Walking in Style" for Liao Liao, and his emotions had not been completely withdrawn, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then asked stupidly: "Old Zhao...... Who is it?"

Feng Yumin explained: "The director of our Taiwan variety show department, Zhao Yigu. The Golden Melody Awards Gala is what our Taiwan Variety Show Department is doing, and Lao Zhao is of course the leader. ”

"Oh......"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, and instantly remembered the matter of the award presenter, so he said: "The main thing is that it is not interesting to be an award presenter, although it is a live broadcast, you must not talk nonsense, so I will give it back, but I will still go to the award ceremony! What's the matter, he is looking for you? What does this mean?"

Feng Yumin said: "It's not interesting, Lao Zhao knows that we are familiar with each other, so he called me and wanted to find a time to have a meal and sit with you." You also know that now the whole country is shouting that variety shows are going to be reformed, and the audience is becoming more and more difficult to serve, and Lao Zhao's pressure is estimated to be not small, he should want to play some tricks through the live broadcast of the Golden Melody Awards. As for you, you are now the best at making music in our country, and of course he wants to get closer to you. ”

After a pause, Director Feng said again: "However, I will just string a word in the middle, and I will not mix it up with what you think about and how he thinks about it." You watch it yourself, you give me a word, and I'll give him a back, and I'll explain it. ”

After thinking about it, Li Qian was really a little hesitant.

For music, especially pop music, at present, record sales rank first, concerts, commercial performances, etc., can only be in the back row, variety shows are at best used as a way to promote when releasing new albums, and its importance to singers can be said to be quite low.

And for Minghu Culture, whether it is Liao Liao or He Runqing, their wrists are already big enough to wait for all programs as long as they are willing, and the four major beauty bands release albums, and they belong to the kind of overwhelming publicity that they absolutely disdain to do, what shows their faces on the last program, as for album sales, let it go, sell as much as you like. Anyway, Lao Tzu's music is DIAO, you can hear it, it's your blessing, if you don't like to listen to it, if you don't want to buy it, pull it down!

Therefore, if you look at it from the moment alone, even if it is the variety show department of Huaxia TV. Li Qian was not interested.

But what next?

According to the company's plan, the next two years, that is, 1998 and 1999, will be the two years of the company's full strength. Zhou Ye won't say it, after all, it hasn't been finalized yet, but the three newcomers signed by the company last year, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan and Zhuang Meiyue, are going to start releasing albums in the next two years, and although the power of roses is born from the five elements. There is no lack of topics and influence in itself, but a certain degree of publicity is still necessary.

Not to mention that in the near future, with the advent of the Internet era, when the music circle can no longer survive by releasing albums and selling albums, the weight of variety shows will inevitably rise to a height that cannot be ignored!

Other than that...... In fact, although Li Qian himself has never had any direct connection with the variety show department of Huaxia TV, Qi Jie represents Minghu culture. The relationship with that side is not bad, in the past Spring Festival Gala. Minghu Culture even brushed two solo songs in one go, which is definitely the only one in the entire pop music scene.

It should be said that don't look at the other party as the absolute boss of the domestic variety show industry, but he has always been quite face-saving.

So, Li Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by making you call...... Actually, you just want me to be the guest of honor?"

Feng Yumin said "hi". said: "I don't know if I want you to be the guest of honor, but I mean, Lao Zhao just went up not long ago." The roots are hard, and they can't come down for a while. You make music, contact him, sit together, have a meal, drink tea, and talk, it doesn't hurt! As for the award presenter or something, how big can it be? Everyone sits down and talks, and you can talk, you can call you brothers, what if you don't go? He can still put a knife on your neck?"

Li Qian laughed, "That's right! Thank you for calling me up!"

Feng Yumin smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly said: "By the way, I almost forgot, I heard Lao Zhao reveal what it means, this year's Golden Melody Awards, there should be a lot of nominations from you, as long as you go, there is probably a chance that you will be given two awards." Liao Liao and He Runqing of your company, needless to say. ”

Li Qian smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then see you." You can talk back to the other side and look at the time of other people, I can do it at any time. ”

Feng Yumin said happily when he heard this: "Come on, listen to you!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Qian thought about it, picked up the phone again, and dialed a number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Sun Ruoxuan pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh my God, I'm so excited, boss, teacher, you're so rare! We've known each other for more than two years, and this is the first time you've called me! Although I'm not as beautiful as Bingbing, I'm not so stumbling!"

Li Qian smiled, ignored her ridicule, and just asked: "I remember hearing you say that you seem to be quite interested in being a host, and you want to develop in this area in the future?"

Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "Yes, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

As soon as she finished the last sentence, she continued with a big grin: "But that's all for later, I'm currently thinking about it, do a good job of the new album, don't embarrass the boss!"

Li Qian smiled again, thinking that her mouth and sensitive mind were really suitable for being a host.

After thinking about it, Li Qian said: "Go back, you ask Mr. Qi to help you find someone to contact, go to the Broadcasting Academy to find a teacher, and make up the class......! Well, there should be an opportunity for this to go back. ”

Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Boss, is it really fake?"

Li Qian smiled: "Don't ask nonsense, in short, you just need to prepare yourself." Well, at present, in addition to making albums and singing, your most important task is to find a professional teacher to make up for your homework as a host. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!"

Sun Ruoxuan's thoughts, Li Qian's words were finished, she didn't know how many sparks of thought had crackled in her mind, and she replied crisply at that time: "Obey the order!

…………

Three days later, Feng Yumin was the east, and in the private room of a teahouse, Li Qian met with Zhao Yigu.

Zhao Yigu looks to be in his forties. White and chubby, not tall, and looks very kind.

After meeting, we were polite, and everyone ate first.

On the one hand, it is his own colleagues, or the peers who do not belong to each other, and on the other hand, he is a year-old friend. The dinner invited by Feng Yumin was not very extravagant, it was simply a few side dishes, plus two grabbing and stir-frying a soup, and half a catty of Gusu fruit wine with a very low degree for one person, which was refreshing and refreshing, and after drinking the wine, everyone began to gradually become familiar with it, and then one person and one bowl of fried noodles, this meal was explained.

Eaten. The table was removed, replaced with a good pot of tea, and then the conversation began.

The soundtrack of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been done for more than half of the time, and it has been finished recently, Feng Yumin is still very satisfied with the work handed over by Minghu Culture, but the soundtrack is only part of the TV series. As the producer of the first TV series in China with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and it is also an investment of up to 300 million. There is obviously a lot of pressure on him - if he succeeds and the word-of-mouth ratings are popular, he will undoubtedly sit in the position of the chief celebrity of domestic TV dramas, but if he fails, although he will not be kicked out, this drama will inevitably become a big Waterloo in his artistic career.

So. Outside the words, Feng Yumin and Feng Dao were a little worried.

In recent years, the quality and reputation of variety shows on domestic TV stations have been in a continuous decline, which is the essence. The main reason is that with the development of the media, the current audience is becoming more and more well-informed, and it is no longer as easy to coax as before. As the boss of a domestic TV station, Huaxia TV, especially the variety show department of Huaxia TV, is obviously the target of public criticism.

Last summer, the previous director of the variety show department was transferred, and Zhao Yigu took over, and it has only been half a year. This year's Spring Festival Gala has a high evaluation and a good reputation, which can be regarded as a rare bright spot in the context of the overall decline of variety shows. But the Spring Festival Gala is held once a year, and relying on the good reputation of this Spring Festival Gala alone is obviously not enough to reverse the TV audience's view of the worsening variety shows.

Therefore, outside of the words, Zhao Yigu also looked very stressed.

On the contrary, Li Qian, compared to them, seems to be very leisurely.

Liao Liao's new album "Woman Flower" has been done more than half, and the studio recording will be completed in a few days, and it is expected that the post-production will be completed in mid-March, and the song selection of He Runqing's new album "The Price of Love" has been basically finalized, and I am ready to give her all the songbooks recently, about a month and a half, which is enough to finish...... In short, all of Li Qian's current work seems to be in order.

In fact, the three of them sat together, one is the leader of domestic TV dramas, one is the number one real power figure in domestic TV variety shows, and the other is the chief celebrity in the domestic pop music scene.

So, this deep chat went straight from lunch to dinner.

Seeing that the sky was dark, the three of them changed to a restaurant.

This time it was different from noon, as the richest landlord among the three, Li Qian invited a treat, ordered a table of dishes, and drank no longer fruit wine similar to a drink, but authentic Shanxi Fenjiu.

Three people, Feng Yumin is nearly fifty years old, Zhao Yigu is forty and three, Li Qian is twenty years old after the New Year, but when he drinks wine, he is called a brother, two bottles of Fenjiu are in his stomach, one person is six or seven taels, his face is red, and the tone of his speech has also gone up.

It's just that from beginning to end, none of the three of them mentioned Li Qian as an award presenter.

At this dinner, which lasted for nearly ten hours, the planning of variety shows on several TV stations was born, the soundtrack cooperation of a major drama on Huaxia TV was finalized, and the long-term cooperation intention of a variety talk show was also reached.

He Runqing's national tour concert has a total of five live video broadcast rights in the next year, and Huaxia TV bought it. Huaxia TV has also booked the premiere rights of the live video of Liao Liao's first national tour, which is expected to take place from July to September this year. And Liao Liao and He Runqing, as well as the next new album MV of the Rose Power Group, will get more broadcast opportunities on Huaxia TV and be promoted. Of course, in return, this year, Liao Liao and He Runqing, as well as Rose Power, must participate in Huaxia TV's variety shows a few more times to help pull the ratings.

Then, Li Qian promised to help the variety channel make a theme music, and at the same time promised to write them a few songs of a public welfare and promotional nature.

At present, Minghu Culture has all the qualifications needed to make pop music and record companies, but if you want to do variety shows, or even make TV series and movies in the future, you still need a lot of procedures and qualifications. And in this regard, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, whether it is Feng Yumin or Zhao Yigu, it is obviously enough to kill Li Qian in seconds.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that Li Qian was actually interested in getting involved in variety shows and film and television dramas, the two big names agreed to help with relationships and qualifications. Feng Yumin also asked Li Qian again and again with great interest what kind of film he wanted to make.

couldn't resist it, Li Qian reluctantly spoiled, saying that he was going to make a "costume myth love action movie".

…………

This banquet will be dispersed in the evening.

The next day, Minghu Culture received an invitation letter from the organizer of the Golden Melody Awards ceremony again, inviting Li Qian to appear as an award presenter.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to hide from Qingjing on Saturday, so I didn't dare to say anything yesterday, and sure enough......

Fortunately, I still wrote 5,000 words. (To be continued.) )
