The backstage is full of heroes.

The so-called backstage, in fact, is a large shed built by the organizers of the music festival a few days in advance, temporarily behind the stage, the area is not small, hundreds of square meters, there are hundreds of chairs, stools, and a long row of seats on the side, for the opening ceremony and performances of all walks of life to wait, rest.

When Li Qian, Liao Liao, and Zhou Yan came to the backstage, there were only famous singers here, and there were already thirty or forty people, plus accompanying musicians, agents, assistants, plus invited senior executives of various record companies, leaders of relevant departments, some famous or non-famous independent musicians, and staff arranged by the organizer, etc., there were two or three hundred people.

Actually, it's not surprising at all.

Whether it is a music festival or a Golden Melody Award, every internal gathering in the industry will definitely have a more or less communicative effect in the end.

Qi Jie is not at home, this time the Minghu Culture Company is led by Sun Meimei.

When Li Qian and the others got off the stage and came backstage, Sun Meimei, Wei Lan, as well as Zhou Yan's agent Zou Wenhuai and assistant Liu Yan were already waiting at the entrance.

Li Qian said hello to Zou Wenhuai, and then went backstage.

Liao Liao and Zhou Yan don't say it, it's just Li Qian, who has been in this circle for almost three years, although he rarely deliberately makes friends with anyone, but he still has too many intersections with this circle.

Many singers, musicians, and record company executives came to say hello, and Li Qian responded one by one with a smile on his face. Some of them have to make small talk. I saw Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Wang Huaiyu. He walked over. Greeted them, bumped fists, and threw Wang Huaiyu a look, Wang Huaiyu smiled and nodded at him.

Everyone has their own friends, both old friends and new friends, and when they meet at this time, they gather together and stand together and talk - in a sense. The circle of pop music is really not big. In particular, the further up you go, the narrower the circle becomes.

Like Zhou Ye, although he was the youngest in front of anyone, he still followed Liao Liao closely, and after a while, he joined the circle of Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu.

and Zhou Yan, Huang Yuqing, Zhao Xinfu. They're basically a circle. They are all ways to focus on urban love songs and folk songs, and they have all been together at Xinda Records. Naturally, there is a common language.

Zhen Zhen is also here today, which is rare.

After chatting with Cao Zhan and them, Li Qian saw her and ran over to say hello and hello.

It should be said that before the personal contact, Zhen Zhen left an impression on most fans, including Li Qian, who was extremely lofty. For example, in Li Qian's view, in addition to being inferior to Liao Liao, this eldest sister is not as good as Liao Liao, but in terms of courage and aura, she has to surpass Liao Liao a lot-this can't be helped, who makes the family a pioneer and a pioneer! People are naturally eligible to enjoy the worship of latecomers.

But after contacting him in person, saying hello and chatting a few words, Li Qian immediately felt that in fact, this eldest sister was not as heroic as he imagined. In fact, if it's just chatting, she's more like a big sister, kind and slow-talking, which will give people an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Together with her husband, everyone chatted a few words, and she took the opportunity to invite Li Qian to sing, and Li Qian agreed without hesitation.

Then, Xie Mingyuan beckoned him over.

Without exception, Mr. Xie Jinshun is also here today.

The old man is the initiator, founder and pioneer of the domestic pop music scene, and is still the honorary chairman of the Chinese Musicians Association, the honorary chairman of the Chinese Record Association and the chief artistic advisor of Huaxia TV.

Respectable, Taishan Beidou.

Li Qian has been in Beijing for nearly two years, but it is the first time he has seen him. In the face of this old man, he was very respectful.

Standing with the Xie family's father and son, of course, there are no ordinary characters.

Zhao Yigu, director of the variety show department of Huaxia TV, Guan Liang, deputy director of Shuntianfu TV, Zhou Qi, vice chairman of the Huaxia Musicians Association and president of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and a director of the Ministry of Culture, surnamed Zhao, is called Zhao Sicun.

Li Qian's age is undoubtedly the youngest.

He and Xie Mingyuan have known each other for a long time, and he has some friendship with Zhao Yigu, the two of them call him little brother, so except for the old man Xie Jinshun, who is already in his seventies, of course everyone else has to follow and call him little brother.

Before Li Qian came over, everyone was discussing the Indonesian side's resistance to the import of Chinese culture, and Director Zhao quietly revealed that there would be a powerful figure to visit Southeast Asia in the near future, and when the time comes, we will talk about it.

In fact, as long as the people in power are not extremely mediocre, they will vigorously support the export of their own culture. After Li Qian came, Director Zhao said straight to the point, hoping that Xie Mingyuan and Li Qian would follow when the time came to visit. And it was directly revealed: this is the meaning of the top.

Xie Mingyuan is at the helm of Sony Records, and he has always been the leader of the domestic pop music scene, while Li Qian has risen in the past two years, and Minghu Culture, which he founded single-handedly, has gradually become one of the largest companies in the domestic pop music scene, and several of its singers are also famous singers with a wide reputation at home and abroad.

When it comes to cultural output, both of them certainly have a lot of say in the area of record culture. It is natural that the government should exert pressure on several Southeast Asian countries through visits and bring them with them.

But Li Qian was a little hesitant when he heard this, because no matter in his previous life or in this life, he would always be subconsciously cautious about things that needed to deal with the government.

He can make music, movies, TV series, and try his best to promote and export Chinese culture, but in the end, he is just an artist, and he doesn't want to become a mercenary on the part of the government.

But after all, the other party is the director of the Ministry of Culture, and he is in charge of film and television, music, and art. Since it is said to be a heavyweight. So to say the least, it has to be a vice-national level. If you refuse, it doesn't seem very good.

So, he turned his head to look at Xie Mingyuan.

Xie Mingyuan smiled when he saw this, and said to Zhao Sicun: "What's the matter, Li Qian also hesitated, right? I'll just say, those of us who are engaged in art actually don't like to follow your official to this form." What we need to do is to get things right. These official things are really not what we are good at, if you keep up with the head and talk back, don't embarrass us!"

Zhao Sicun smiled and promised to reflect it upwards, and the matter would be stopped.

At this time, Zhou Qi, the dean of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, looked at Li Qian and suddenly asked, "I just heard a few days ago that you worshipped the old man Cheng Yunshan as a teacher?"

Li Qian nodded yes.

Zhou Qi touched his hair and said, "Actually, when I finished listening to the album "The Sound of the Waves Remains". I said, "I should invite you to our academy." Even if it's an elective first. Later, Huaiyu and they also recommended it, and we have been considering it in our hospital, and I even personally asked Senior Sister Lu, that is, your wife, and she also highly recommended it, and even said the words of 'internal lifting does not avoid relatives', and I respect you very much!

Li Qian hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Teacher Zhou, don't scare me, I'm still a student myself!"

Zhou Qi waved his hand disappreciatively, "I've heard people mention that the students of the film academy come to our institute to be professors, doesn't it feel a little wrong? I said that's nonsense! What's wrong with studying at the film academy? Can that cover up his achievements in music? There is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher! Don't listen to some people's nonsense, at least I, and our academy, are welcome to you! When you want to come, just give me a call, or tell Huaiyu that you can be a visiting professor first!"

When Li Qian heard this, he had to agree with a smile, saying that he would think about it later.

Old man Xie Jinshun interjected with a smile at this time, and said to Li Qian: "I want to go! This does not mean adding any honor to ourselves, whether we are making music, making movies, or doing literature, or doing art, we all need to do this, if you have this ability, you must pass on your understanding and opinions to the next generation, pass them on and learn from them! In this way, we can form a good inheritance, and our domestic culture can get better and better!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Sicun and said, "Let me say, this matter is as important as what your Ministry of Culture wants to do to promote Chinese culture abroad." One is to excavate and cultivate internally, and to inherit, inherit, and develop our own things through generation after generation of cultural people, and then we must strive to promote our culture through various means! Now your government is advocating and propagating the thinking of a great power.

Everyone smiled and nodded yes.

But at this time, Li Qian said with a smile: "Old man, I am willing and willing to teach something, but I am still the 'next generation', I am not like you, I can't control the field!"

Xie Jinshun smiled, waved his hand, and said: "You can hold it! You can hold it! What you make is the top in our country! How many people are your fans, if you still can't hold it, who can stop it?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

…………

People gather by like, and things by groups.

This statement has never been just a so-called "philosophy", it is really reflected in all aspects of people's lives.

At this moment, in the backstage, there are two or three hundred people gathered, large and small circles, as few as two or three people, as large as a dozen people, gathered together to chat, everyone's state is naturally relatively loose, and, to a certain extent, these so-called circles have always been flowing - many people are chatting here and then running there.

But on the contrary, when Xie Jinshun, Zhou Qi, Zhao Sicun, Zhao Yigu, Guan Liang, Xie Mingyuan and others stood together, no one approached within a radius of several meters. Even people who are closer to each other deliberately suppress their voices when they speak.

Among the singers, big names such as Zhen Zhen, such as Zhou Yan, such as Liao Liao, such as Zhao Xinfu, etc., know one or two people in this circle, have friendships, and can speak. And the juniors who don't have enough coffee positions or have less qualifications, even if you are also popular enough, you don't even have the qualifications to come over and ask for a good word - such as Huang Yuqing and Li Xinru.

In simple terms. If you compare the domestic music industry and the domestic pop music scene to a pyramid. So. This small circle of six or seven people is the spire of the pyramid.

The people who are qualified to participate in this circle, every single one, is a big man who is in charge of one side.

Liao Liao is the top among singers, and Zhou Yan is also a student of Mr. Xie Jinshun, so it is said that they are already qualified to stand in this circle, but when they stand in this circle, they will find that there are not many places where they can interject. So I didn't feel comfortable staying, and after greeting the old man, I withdrew without a few words.

But when Li Qian came, he easily and comfortably integrated into this circle.

And the strange thing is that he is too young to look at him, but even from the perspective of a bystander, he is so young, standing in the middle of a group of old men and leaders, he does not feel disobedient at all.

Even. In the hearts of many people, they will think: he stands there, worthy of the name!

It's just that. Listening to Li Qian chatting with Xie Jinshun and the others over there, and even bursts of laughter came from time to time, among so many people in the background, how many people would have a feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, it is unknown.

…………

At 9:20, the opening ceremony of the Changping Music Festival is about to begin.

Wang Xiaodao came back from the front, went into the backstage to glance at it, and went straight to the direction of this side. But there were still more than a dozen steps away, and when he saw Li Qian's side face from a distance, he was stunned for a moment, but suddenly stood up again.

There are really a lot of people in the background, you say a word, and the noise is very noisy, so although it is only a dozen steps apart, he still can't quite hear what is being said over there, but he clearly sees that his immediate boss, Director Zhao Yigu, is intimately putting his arm on Li Qian's shoulder, and he doesn't know what he is talking about, in short, they all laughed quickly.

After walking a few more steps, getting closer, he began to hear, it turned out that Director Zhao Yigu was saying: "My brother has a good amount of wine, but you have to pry slowly, and soak him little by little, so he dares to drink openly, that time I and Lao Feng and Brother Feng of the TV drama production center, plus Qian, the three of us, from noon to night, he drank open, and he drank with the two of us, and in the end, he drank both of us, and he was fine!"

Wang Xiaodao's eyes widened and stopped.

The eyebrows jumped a few times, and the center of the brain was electrified.

He paused in place for a few seconds, and then he walked forward again, leaned over, and said respectfully: "Old Xie, Director Zhao, Director Zhao, Director Guan, and Dean Zhou, it's about to start, you should be prepared." ”

Everyone who was laughing and talking stopped hearing the words and nodded their heads.

Zhao Yigu also quickly withdrew his arm, his face became serious again, and the leadership momentum returned to full strength, and he nodded lightly: "Got it, we'll go over immediately." ”

Wang Xiaodao nodded, turned his head to leave, and before leaving, the ghost envoy subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Li Qian.

Coincidentally, because of his sudden arrival, Li Qian's eyes were also falling on him.

The two looked at each other, Wang Xiaodao's heart suddenly tightened, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but Li Qian just smiled and nodded at him very calmly.

Wang Xiaodao also smiled back at him, turned around and left.

Behind him, he heard what seemed to be Li Qian saying: "Old man, I know that you must come to the music festival every year, I specially prepared a song, please give me some advice, don't leave in advance later." ”

Then I heard Old Man Xie laugh out loud, "Okay! Okay! So, there's a new song to listen to?"

Wang Xiaodao took a deep breath, and then sighed lightly.

As an in-depth practitioner in the entertainment industry, he has certainly been famous for Li Qian for a long time, and he has always known that Li Qian is a famous songwriter, producer, and later became the lead singer of a famous rock band. But in his heart, he has always regarded Li Qian as a figure at the same level as Liao Liao and Zhou Yan.

In addition, although Li Qian is very young, he also became famous at a young age, he was directly admitted to Huaxia TV after graduating from college, and began to act as the host of some large-scale variety shows in the second year, at the age of twenty-five, he is already the top three hosts in the variety show department, well-known at home - he also became famous at a young age, of course he doesn't feel that his famous program host is lower than Li Qian's level.

However, the scene he saw with his own eyes just now made it clear to him that it was not.

Nowadays, at least for Li Qian, the identity of a simple songwriter, or producer, or the lead singer of a rock band, and the owner of a record company is no longer enough to represent his true status.

In the circle, everyone talks about coffee position, so what is coffee position?

The record sells a lot, the song has a good reputation, and it has a great influence among fans, or it is original in style, even if the song does not sell well enough, but it can't stand the willingness of many high-level executives to praise it...... It's all coffee bits.

However, it is no longer appropriate to use those things to measure the current Li Qian.

When he stood together with Xie Jinshun, Mr. Xie, Dean Zhou Qizhou, Director Zhao Sicun, Director Zhao Yigu, Director Zhao, Director Guan Liangguan, and Xie Mingyuan, he could still talk and laugh at ease......

This is his coffee position.

…………

After thanking the old man, several leaders finished speaking in turn, and the Changping Music Festival was officially announced.

Wang Xiaodao said passionately: "There is such a band, they suddenly came up with an album today, when rock music has gradually declined, and from the first note, it ignited every drop of blood in our body!"

"His captain is one of the best bass players in China, and a famous songwriter in the industry, and a famous movie screenwriter, Cao Zhan, his rhythm guitar, is a famous director in China, Yu Bojun, his drummer, is the most famous super diva and national diva in China, Liao Liao, his keyboard player, is the top sheng player and suona player in China, Pianist and violinist, as well as a professor at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music and the principal sheng player of the Huaxia Chinese Orchestra, Wang Huaiyu, and his lead singer is the most famous top songwriter and producer in the industry, Li Qian!

"These are the five people, they are the ones who have carried the banner of rock and roll in such an era of decline of rock and roll, and brought us the best music enjoyment! Now, let us shout their names loudly, they are ......"

"The Four Beauty Bands!"

"Please!"

…………

In the waiting area, listening to Wang Xiaodao's passionate introduction in front of him, and the tsunami-like shouts of the audience, Li Qian turned his head with a smile, followed his ear, and asked Liao Liao: "What are you doing?"

Liao Liao shook his head, "What are you doing?"

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, and after a moment, he seemed to have an understanding.

But immediately, he shook his head slightly and whispered, "This person is too smart!"

Liao Liao shrugged his shoulders, "I like smart people!" (To be continued.) )
