Chapter 303, Xiangjiang's talk show!
Next.
Jiang Lun woke up with a splitting headache.
When he woke up, he realized that it was not in the hotel, and he didn't know where it was, but it was indeed a bedroom.
"Are you awake?"
Suddenly hearing someone talking in his ear, Jiang Lun turned his head to look, only to see Wu Chaoyang walking in from outside.
Breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, "Angkor...... You're here in Xiangjiang, where is this?"
"This is Li Zhiqing's house, I just got off the plane in the morning, and I went to the hotel where you stayed, but McNugget told me that you didn't go back at all last night, and you didn't even take your mobile phone, Ding Cheng couldn't get through to their phone, and I asked a lot of people before I found here!"
Wu Chaoyang didn't have a smiling face, but he wasn't angry, he stood there with his arms crossed, and kept educating Jiang Lun, "They are all old artists, how to play it is like that anyway, you are different, there are still good years ahead, don't be blinded by those flowers and plants, don't be confused!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Lun agreed, rubbed his temples and got up, and only asked after Wu Chaoyang finished his education, "Brother Ang, why are you here?"
"I'll take you to two TV shows, although Xiangjiang's programs don't have much influence in the mainland, but they are still very strong in the local area, they sent an invitation this time, I'll accompany you to it!" Wu Chaoyang said, "Wash up and take you to eat something, don't delay the recording!"
"What time is the announcement?"
"Twelve o'clock at noon!"
"What?"
Jiang Lun was stunned for a while, "Twelve?"
Wu Chaoyang didn't explain much, "This show is like this, you'll know when you go!"
With that, he turned and left.
Jiang Lun shook his head and smiled bitterly, what kind of program is actually arranged at twelve o'clock at noon, is it a program dedicated to eating?
In fact, it is.
When Jiang Lun was brought to the recording site of the show by Wu Chaoyang, it was actually a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
I found out after listening to the introduction in the car. This show is called "Gourmet Beauty", which is to take celebrity artists to eat food and interview at the same time.
And the show will change a restaurant every time, and today because Jiang Lun is a mainlander, it is arranged in this tea restaurant.
Both from the outside and from the inside. It is not the same as those tea restaurants in Hong Kong films, but it is more like a general restaurant in the mainland.
As soon as I entered the door, a middle-aged woman in a red cheongsam shirt greeted me with a smile on her face.
The woman had wavy shawl hair on her head, a thick layer of powder on her face, and a large, black, round, mole on the side of her nose.
Although Jiang Lun doesn't know this woman, he looks a little familiar, as if he has seen it in some Hong Kong dramas, in fact, so far, he has not even watched a complete Hong Kong drama. I've seen a lot of Hong Kong films, including the latest ones released this year, action comedies, absurd comedies, or police and gangster films starring some veteran Hong Kong stars, but there is no such familiar face in these films.
"Sister La!"
Wu Chaoyang was obviously very familiar with this woman, and as soon as they went up, the two of them held each other's hands and said with a hehe. "I finally saw you, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, right?"
"Hmph. You're embarrassed to say, you're making a comeback now, and you're blessed to be old, and you've forgotten my old friend!"
This woman called Sister La actually pouted and sprinkled coquettishly, which really disgusted Jiang Lun.
But he didn't say anything to his face, let alone make any disgusted expressions, just stood aside in a proper manner. I always have a smile on my face.
"Oh!" Sister La and Wu Chaoyang whispered a few words, and finally turned their heads to see Jiang Lun, "This is Jiang Lun, right?
"Haha! Jiang Lun!" Wu Chaoyang seemed to be happy and pulled Jiang Lun over. "Let me introduce you, this is the most famous host in Xiangjiang, the first sister of Jade TV Zhou Lala, Sister Lala!"
"Sister La, hello!" Jiang Lun smiled and nodded to her in greeting.
"Hello, hello!"
Sister La looked happy, "Let's hurry up and record the show, and when the show is finished, if we have anything to say, let's finish the show!"
"Let's go!" Wu Chaoyang made a gesture of please, and asked Zhou Lala to lead the way in front.
The three of them went up to the second floor together and found that there were already many people upstairs.
And when these people saw Jiang Lun and the three of them coming up, they all applauded and welcomed.
"Today, the second floor of the restaurant was reserved by us, and it was specially used for video!"
Sister La explained, and then said to a nearby staff member, "Coral! You only have ten minutes to take the guests to make up!"
"Okay!"
The girl immediately walked up and took Jiang Lun to put on makeup.
Sister La's English accent has some problems, she said "buckle meat", and compared to the English name, Jiang Lun couldn't think of which one, and couldn't help but ask the girl with him curiously, "Is your name Cora or Coral?"
"Coral, of course!" the girl blushed and corrected seriously, her accent was still quite authentic, probably because of her own name, so the pronunciation was very accurate.
"Oh!" Jiang Lun smiled and nodded, after all, in addition to being a personal name, Cora also means virgin in Greek.
It's no wonder that Coral blushes, I think Jiang Lun is not the only one who has asked her this question, right?
In less than ten minutes, after finishing the makeup, Jiang Lun walked towards Wu Chaoyang and Zhou Lala and sat down beside them.
Zhou Lala looked at her watch and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer, there is still a host who hasn't come!"
"Oh?" Wu Chaoyang said curiously, "You are not hosting this show alone?"
"I have always been alone before, but recently I have added a new assistant host, after all, I am old, sometimes the jokes I tell are too old-fashioned, young people don't like it, and some stalks have to be laid by newcomers!"
"Oh!" Wu Chaoyang nodded, "Yes, it will be the era of young people in the future, we can't keep up, alas, this entertainment industry can develop into what it is now, how to say that we also have our credit, but in the end, we found out that we were the first people to be abandoned by the entertainment industry!"
"Don't be so pessimistic, isn't it good now?"
Zhou Lala said, looking at Jiang Lun, but her words were still to Wu Chaoyang, "You are a treasure, when you were the Four Heavenly Kings a few years ago." Everyone in the circle envies you, and now you are Jiang Lun, it will not be a problem to create a little king in two or three years!"
"Hehe, you're exalting me too much!"
Wu Chaoyang waved his hand, "In fact, the artist's own strength is strong, including Zhang Yu and Ding Cheng at that time!"
"Everyone in the circle says you're a human spirit. Talking without leaking, it's true!"
Zhou Lala smiled, at this moment, a staff member came over and whispered a few words in Zhou Lala's ear, Zhou Lala frowned slightly, nodded, and then said helplessly to Wu Chaoyang and Jiang Lun, "Let's start recording first, right?"
"Yes. Yes!"
Wu Chaoyang looked at his watch, the time was not early, and it had been more than ten minutes since the agreed twelve o'clock.
Jiang Lun and Wu Chaoyang didn't ask the assistant host, there must be something wrong, and they couldn't come temporarily, after all, this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Lala clapped his hands and said to the people around him. "Let's get ready to start filming and execute the production. I'm sorry for you!"
"Okay!"
The executive producer doesn't know where the person is, but that's the sound of it anyway.
Then, in addition to the camera and lighting, the makeup artists, assistants and other staff members just now, holding drinks or food and pretending to be diners, were seated everywhere.
After the official start of filming. Zhou Lala said the opening remarks to the camera with a kind face, "Hello! Hello audience friends in front of the TV, this is the daily episode of "Gourmet Beauty" program! Today we have invited two guests, one is an old friend of our Xiangjiang entertainment circle, Wu Chaoyang!"
Wu Chaoyang said with a smile. "Hello Sister La!
"The other one is our new friend, Jiang Lun, who has been holding a concert in Xiangjiang these days!
"Hello Sister La! Please take care of me when we meet for the first time!" Jiang Lun stood up, the junior posture was very sufficient, and after shaking hands with Sister La, he greeted the audience in front of the TV before sitting down.
After the smooth opening, Zhou Lala asked Wu Chaoyang in a homely tone as soon as he came up, "Old Wu, do you feel any different from the previous company in Yida?"
"Are you sure you want to interview me first?"
Wu Chaoyang looked at the cameras around him and sorted out some clothes.
Zhou Lala smiled and said, "Old friend, let's talk casually first, I'm very concerned about your current situation!"
"Hehe, okay!"
Wu Chaoyang didn't think much about it, and came casually, "Actually, what should I say, Yida, as one of the artist production bases in the mainland, in fact, what they are best at at the beginning is creation, especially his film and television artists, which is also the focus of Yida's packaging and key creation." The Yida brokerage where I am now is actually a creative brokerage company, and it is also doing service work, and it is too creative, which affects the service, but Jiang Lun is a special case!"
"Oh, what do you say?" Zhou Lala said curiously.
Even Jiang Lun, who was sitting on the side, was a little curious, and wanted to hear what Wu Chaoyang had in this regard.
Wu Chaoyang explained, "In fact, to put it bluntly, creative agents or brokerage companies are praised, they will use a lot of resources to smash you, tailor-made film and television dramas, songs, and even variety shows for you, while service-oriented agents are responsible for arranging work after the artist becomes popular, and the right to make decisions is handed over to the artist, Jiang Lun belongs to the latter type, and it is also a unique category of Yida now!"
With such an explanation, everyone understands, even Jiang Lun himself understands.
He had never actually bothered about brokerage, and he hadn't thought about jumping out and taking control of his own brokerage contracts.
First, things are too cumbersome, he has so many things to worry about, if he worries about his own brokerage, even if Wu Chaoyang still gives him an agent, he may not be able to do well.
Second, there is a specialization in the art industry, the Yida brokerage team is very large, very meticulous, and very professional, and Jiang Lun's brokerage arrangements have always been to go to the road of first-line big names, and some platter star concerts are almost not picked up for him, unless the relevant state departments arrange public welfare performances.
As an almost all-round artist, coupled with his status as a director of Rainy Day Music, he is much more relaxed than other artists in the same company in terms of many conditions, which is why Jiang Lun is willing to stay in Yida all the time.
Thinking about it from another angle, even if you set up your own brokerage team, will the cost and employee salary be less than the share drawn by Yida?
"Then are you serving Jiang Lun alone now?" Zhou Lala asked again.
"Yes!" Wu Chaoyang said bluntly, "Twenty years ago, when I took the four majors, I had exhausted almost all of my energy, and the four of them needed you to create and serve, but Jiang Lun was different, he only needed you to serve, his own creative ability was extraordinary, he could be called a genius, and I was also old, so I used my experience to serve him, which made me more handy!"
"As a service-oriented agent, what I am most afraid of is to restrain the artist, you are brought by me, you have to listen to me for everything, this concept is not right. The biggest feature of Yida Brokerage is that it is not restrictive, and it is precisely because this policy is in line with my point of view that I can stay comfortably!"
In fact, when Wu Chaoyang said this, Jiang Lun had to think of Liu Xiahui, as the helmsman of Yida's entertainment industry, his thinking has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, not to mention Jiang Lun, and the same is true for those artists who are popular with his own hands.
There are even some talked-about examples in Yida, for example, many actors whose contracts expire will try their best to keep them, and those who can't keep them will also take the initiative to recommend them to other performing arts companies, of course, the premise is that Yida has earned enough profits on them, which is also the effect of the contract, and those who are popular and can be grateful to stay and continue to sign will definitely be more popular, like Gao Zishan is one of them.
"Let's talk about music, this time Jiang Lun came to Xiangjiang to hold a concert, which also made many of our Xiangjiang fans and artists in the entertainment industry see the charm of mainland musicians, and they are not without feeling the rapid development and rise of the mainland pop music scene in recent years, especially Jiang Lun, who has been on tour for two years after his debut and released two records, which is not for nothing in the heyday of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, but now in the entire Chinese music scene, I am afraid that only Jiang Lun can do this!"
Zhou Lala changed the topic, "Jiang Lun, I also went to your concert last night and listened to you sing a newly written Cantonese song, what kind of mood did you have in mind to write such a song?"
Jiang Lun talked about the meaning of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", combined with his own regret about the current situation of the HK Phil and the end of the Cantonese song era, including the feelings of helplessness and struggle in the Hong Kong music scene that he wanted to express in "Sea, Sky and Sky", and finally said, " In the past, Chinese music was mainly based on Cantonese songs, and there were only a few million people in the Xiangjiang market, and everyone made the same kind of music, but now Chinese music is facing the entire Chinese community, with more than a billion people in the mainland alone, a wider audience, a larger group of singers to serve, and more types and styles of music required.
