Chapter 510: Immodesty
"I think that in terms of original pop music, Hong Kong should learn from the mainland. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
It was really not shocking, Lu Chen didn't speak much in front of him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it caused an uproar, and the Xiangjiang musicians gathered around to listen to the excitement, some were dumbfounded, some sneered and disdainful, some thoughtful, and some changed color.
Many people think that Lu Chen's words are simply ridiculous.
For a long time in the past, except for niche genres such as Guoyao, mainland pop music has always been an imitator and follower of Xiangjiang pop music, and the latter has a huge influence on the former.
From the late 90s to the beginning of the new century, many Hong Kong musicians went north to develop, which promoted the development of pop music in the mainland to a large extent.
Therefore, to a certain extent, in terms of pop music, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiangjiang is the teacher of the mainland.
Although Hong Kong's pop music is now in decline, it is really unacceptable to say that Hong Kong should learn from the mainland, so that they are local musicians.
Especially this sentence came from the mouth of Lu Chen, a singer and artist from the mainland.
For a while, the crowd at the scene was surging, and there was actually a bit of tension in the atmosphere, if it weren't for the basic politeness of the social occasion, I'm afraid someone would have come out to shout at Lu Chen.
Such a scene made Ye Xuan, who brought up the topic, secretly complain, he didn't expect Lu Chen to say it so bluntly, which made him fall into a rather embarrassing situation all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan was also a little anxious, so he simply continued the topic: "Why do you say that?"
If the talk between the two is regarded as cross talk, then now Ye Xuan is undoubtedly playing the role of a supporter, so that he can take away the firepower and make others pay more attention to Lu Chen and forget about him as the culprit.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Because in some aspects, the mainland is indeed doing better than Xiangjiang now." ”
His voice was not loud, even soft, but there was unshakable confidence in his words.
Domestic pop music is actually facing similar problems as Xiangjiang, plagiarism and imitation have become a trend, and the local original power is sluggish, and it is deeply influenced by Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.
However, many domestic musicians have long been aware of this problem and have made changes in many aspects, the simplest example is that in the past two years, domestic music talent shows have paid more and more attention to originality, and even launched programs such as "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" and so on.
Although the producer of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" is Shonan Satellite TV, there are strong commercial interests behind the support for originality, but Lu Chen still supports the show itself.
Because it can make many excellent singer-songwriters stand out and condense the power of original music.
And now the treatment of domestic songwriters has been greatly improved, with the recovery of the pop music market, powerful authors are becoming more and more popular with entertainment brokerage companies.
In contrast, Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is complacent, has no courage and determination to change the status quo, obsessed with playing Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, frequently launches idol artists to hype and publicize, stares at the pockets of young people in Xiangjiang to make money, and never takes originality seriously.
Especially in Xiangjiang's talent show, Miss Xiangjiang, Miss Asia and the Idol Awards, etc., occupy the mainstream, which looks lively and lively, but what is left in the gorgeous and noisy coat?
Lu Chen said bluntly: "When I was a child, I used to listen to many excellent and classic Cantonese songs, but now I still listen to those old songs. ”
"Isn't this a problem with Hong Kong pop music in terms of originality?"
Many people around fell silent, because what Lu Chen said was completely true, and they had no way to refute it.
Some people were not convinced, and asked rhetorically: "Then the mainland original is really better than Xiangjiang?"
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Immodestly, it's really the case, I'll take myself as an example, I am also a songwriter, and the current quotation from my personal studio is one million songs." ”
1,000,000 a song!
There were sudden soft shouts and gasps all around, because this price was completely unexpected by them, you must know that Ouyang Derong, the best songwriter in Xiangjiang now, is only about 300,000 yuan for a song.
The height determines the thickness and level, with Lu Chen as the benchmark, then the original value standard of the mainland must not be low, at least far beyond the level of Xiangjiang.
Someone will be suspicious and mutter, "True or false?"
When Lu Chen first came to Xiangjiang, when he attended a charity auction, he took out a work as a lot and sold it for a high price of one million.
This matter is also rumored in the circle, but not many people take it seriously, because many charity auctions are just hype.
A so-called modern art painting with graffiti may fetch tens of millions of dollars.
Among them, everyone in the industry knows it.
But now that Lu Chen said it himself, it would be different, if he bragged indiscriminately, it would become a joke in the circle.
"Of course it's true!"
Someone replied categorically for Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu Chen is the most outstanding music creator in the mainland, and as far as I know, his studio work creation has been scheduled until 2018, and the reservation is temporarily suspended." ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on each other.
"Mrs. Kim!"
It was Kim Myung-so, the owner of Mrs. Entertainment, who came forward to prove it to Lu Chen.
The skeptics were dumbfounded.
Kim Myung-so was born in a famous family, founded an entertainment company in his twenties, got involved in the production of film and television variety shows, and trained artists and singers, and has sent a large number of talents to the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang for decades.
Like the famous actors Liu Jiaen and Gu Rong, singers Gao Mingfeng, Li Li, etc., are all from Mrs. Jin's disciples.
In the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, she is definitely a member of the top class, and she does not have the coffee position of a celestial star, but any king and queen will give her some face.
Her proof is naturally very weighty!
Jin Mingxiu ignored the surprised gazes around him and smiled at Lu Chen: "Lu Chen, long time no see!"
Then this well-known figure in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry stepped forward and grabbed Chen Fei'er's little hand, with a look of surprise at the reunion after a long absence: "Fei'er, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
Chen Fei'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Jin, it's because you're getting younger and younger!"
Mrs. Jin shook her head: "Don't make fun of Sister Jin, I knew that the two of you were invited to the salon, then I should have come over earlier." ”
Holding Chen Fei'er's hand, she looked around and said very seriously: "I just listened to a few words, and I feel that what Mr. Lu Chen said is very reasonable, the current situation faced by Xiangjiang pop music needs all of us to work together to change. ”
"It's not enough to just talk about it, what is needed is action, I suggest that all of us co-create a competition that encourages and supports original music, and it is no problem to use the form of a reality audition, as long as it can bring back the glory of Heungjiang's pop music and Cantonese songs, it is worth paying more!"
Madame Jin's aura was undoubtedly powerful, and as soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, and also raised the topic caused by Lu Chen to a higher height.
