"It seems...... Professor Lei is very fond of Mr. Ye Zi's new album, so can Professor Lei predict the future of this album with us? ”

Although Lin Liming still couldn't figure out what Lei Ming and Ye Zi were talking about, this did not prevent her from controlling the show, in a simple sentence, Lin Liming put aside the discussion just now, and the topic turned to another aspect.

Lei Ming's appreciation of Ye Zi's album is not a good thing for Lin Liming.

Diǎn diǎn head, Lei Ming smiled: "I do like this album very much, but I dare not say that I am very optimistic about the prospects of this album, which is the second small question I just wanted to discuss with Ye Zi." ”

"That's the language in which this album is sung."

"Professor Lei, what do you mean......" Lin Liming asked instead of Ye Zi.

"Yes, I mean it's a Chinese album, and although I like it very much, I'll buy one and keep it on my shelf, but I don't dare to have too much confidence in its prospects." Lei Ming's opinion basically represents the collective opinion of these music critics.

Speaking of this, Ye Zi was relieved, he was really worried that Lei Ming would find something wrong with the album again. This album has cost him a lot of effort and put all his feelings, if there is really any strict zhòng problem, then Ye Zi will really be deeply hit, and he will have to find a corner to cry bitterly.

Language?

In Ye Zi's opinion, this is definitely not a real problem, but Ye Zi still politely thanked Professor Lei Ming: "Professor Lei, thank you for your finger diǎn, can you ...... Is it more detailed to say a diǎn? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you what I think." Lei Ming pondered for a moment, and then continued: "In Xiangjiang, since the rise of Cantonese songs in the 70s, Cantonese albums have occupied the vast majority of the entire market, which is a fact, and any singer who comes to Xiangjiang to develop has to face this fact. ”

"If Ye Zi's album is a Cantonese album, I'm sure that this album will at least sell above the platinum number, and if I dare to predict it, I can consider double platinum, triple platinum or even four platinum. But in terms of Chinese songs, the prospects for this album are really not optimistic. ”

°Cdǐng°Cdiǎn°C小°Csay,.≧.o■s_(); "In my impression, it seems that the Chinese album in the Xiangjiang market has not sold platinum figures, whether this is the case I haven't had time to check the information, but I think it shouldn't be bad."

"If you look at the quality of the album alone, Ye Zi's Chinese album is no worse than any Chinese album that appeared in the Xiangjiang market before, but it's a pity that Ye Zi is still just a new singer who has just debuted, which is ...... It's more aggrieved. ”

"So let me be honest, I'm not very confident about the album, but I hope my predictions were wrong."

Lei Ming glanced at Ye Zi apologetically.

"Thank you, Professor Lei, Ye Zi has been taught again." Ye Zi diǎn diǎn head, the expression on his face did not change, just a simple answer, not at all like the excited reaction of Lei Ming when he pointed out the problem in the recording of his singing just now.

He was actually laughing in his heart.

Lei Ming is really a kind-hearted critic, and his speech and demeanor are really scholarly. What he just wanted to say was that Ye Zi's popularity was not enough, the Chinese albums of big-name singers could not sell well in the Xiangjiang market, Ye Zi, you are still a small singer, how can your Chinese albums sell well? It's just that Lei Ming took care of Ye Zi's face, and used a very Wanzhuan tone to explain his view.

But in Ye Zi's view, such an inference that "big-name singers can't do it, you definitely can't do it either" is problematic in itself, there is absolutely no causal relationship between the two, it's just an inductive experience. But any kind of experience that has no causal relationship, a kind of "experience" that is only obtained by the accumulation of times over a period of time, will one day be broken by facts.

However, Ye Zi was not ready to refute Lei Ming "based on reason", but simply recognized his view of Diǎn. One is that there is no need for this, music critics like Lei Ming will not admit that their experience is invalid unless Ye Zi puts the facts in front of them. The other is that Lei Ming has clearly shown goodwill, and when the other two music critics have not yet appeared, Ye Zi does not want to directly exchange fire with Professor Lei Ming.

In addition, for Ye Zi and Wenhui Entertainment, Professor Lei Ming is also a music critic who is very worthy of their efforts to win over as much as possible. Ye Zi also hopes that in the future Xiangjiang music scene, there will be a representative of the music critic who will speak on his behalf, although it is difficult to do this, but Ye Zi sees such hope from Professor Lei Ming.

……

"Well, thank you Professor Lei Ming for his wonderful review of the album of the two young people, and I would like to invite two experts again to let us hear what these two will bring us different opinions."

Seeing that the exchange between Lei Ming and Ye Zi had come to an end, Lin Liming did not delay and immediately prepared to invite the last two guests.

For the previous interview, Lin Liming's heart is still quite satisfied. Except that there was no direct conflict between the guests, the three of them chatted well, especially Professor Lei Ming's comments on Chen Yichen and Ye Zi's albums, there was a strong professional flavor in every place, and there were even comments that she couldn't understand as a host.

This is the effect that Lin Liming needs, and it is this kind of use that Professor Lei Ming was invited to send, and in this interview just now, this purpose has been fully achieved.

Then it's time for a big meal.

"Let's invite Mr. Huang Zichen, the chief writer of the "Daily Entertainment Quick Review" column of the entertainment edition of "Star Daily" and a well-known critic in Hong Kong, and Mr. Huang Zichen, director of the board of directors and chief commentator of "Pineapple Weekly".

Lin Liming did not invite them one by one as before, but directly invited the last two guests at the same time.

Huang Zichen is over the age of six, short and thin, but when he greets the audience, his voice is loud and sonorous. Ye Zi learned from the introduction of Wenhui that Huang Zichen is an old courtier of Xiangjiang's "Star Daily", who has worked in this newspaper for 35 years and has witnessed the rise and fall of this newspaper several times. In the Xiangjiang critics' circles, Huang Zichen's comments are known for being outspoken and uninhibited, he dares to say anything, he dares to offend anyone, and he has a sharp eye and unique insight, and his views on a matter are often different from others.

What really made him shine in the Hong Kong critics was his forward-looking prediction in the early 80s for two young singers who had just debuted, one of them was his brother Zhang Guorong and the other was Mei Yanfang. In particular, his comments on Zhang Guorong are particularly impressive.

In the early 80s, Zhang Guorong's career did not improve in either singing or film and television. In terms of singing, Polydor Records' avant-garde, rebellious, and romantic positioning for him is not acceptable, and the movies "Bravo", "Youth on Fire", "Drummer" and other films he starred in during this period have not made him really popular, and he only received a nomination for Best Actor at the 2nd Xiangjiang Film Awards, and nothing else has been achieved. At that time, Zhang Guorong was very depressed for a while. In 82, Leslie Cheung followed his mentor Li Xiaotian to Huaxing Records, and then met Mrs. Chen, the agent who helped him a lot in the future.

When Huang Zichen had just switched to Huaxing Records, Huang Zichen published a series of review articles in "Star Daily". Contrary to the comments at that time, which were all about Zhang Guorong's behavior of switching to the company, Huang Zichen strongly supported Zhang Guorong's approach, believing that "this is a change of historical significance." S himself has the potential to become a superstar, and now his combination with Hua Xing has made this potential infinitely expanded. I dare to assert that we are about to witness the whole process of a singer who is a superstar in the music scene, and we will see it in a year. ”

The review was ridiculed by many critics at the time, but within a year none of them could laugh. Zhang Guorong's first new album "The Wind Continues to Blow" after switching to a flower star was very popular, and he suddenly changed from a little singer who was not treated well by fans to a popular one who was in the limelight. Singer. At this time, Huang Zichen commented again: "S's "The Wind Continues to Blow" is just the beginning, he is walking on the road to the emperor's superstar, and nothing can stop him. I'll say the same thing, and we'll see within a year. ”

In less than a year, Zhang Guorong's new album "S" broke through the four platinum sales, and the song "ONA" in the album was selected as one of the top ten Chinese golden songs and top ten golden songs of the year, truly establishing his status as a superstar in the Xiangjiang song scene.

Huang Zichen's comments and predictions all came true, and he became famous. Subsequently, a series of his comments and predictions on Sister Mei were also realized one by one, and his popularity soared like a rocket, and it was difficult to find a lot of money in review articles.

In the Xiangjiang music critic circle, Huang Zichen's reputation and status far exceed that of Professor Lei Ming, a good old man. If it is difficult to form a consensus on whether Professor Lei Ming can enter the top three, Huang Zichen is among the top three. If it weren't for the fact that Huang Zichen has become more and more advanced in recent years and rarely writes music criticism articles anymore, he would be the well-deserved number one critic in the music criticism industry in Hong Kong.

Lin Liming's show tonight can invite Huang Zichen to appear, which is extremely rare.

Huang Zichen was not polite, after Lin Liming's introduction, he didn't shake hands with Ye Zi and Chen Yichen at all, he sat down directly on the sofa, and squeezed Professor Lei Ming to the edge of the sofa. Professor Lei Ming greeted him politely, only to get a soft snort from Huang Zichen's nose.

On the contrary, another music critic, a foreigner, treated Ye Zi and Chen Yichen very politely.

Even...... More polite than Professor Lei Ming. (To be continued.) )
