Chapter 594: The Three Great Music Critics of Xiangjiang (Part I)
In the sound of music, the members of the program team helped push open the sliding door in front of Ye Zi, and Ye Zi walked into the live broadcast scene quickly.
A camera immediately followed Ye Zi and pulled a close-up shot. Tonight, this camera will be Ye Zi's "exclusive" camera, and any tiny gesture on Ye Zi's body, any subtle expression on his face, will be transmitted to the eyes of all the viewers in front of the TV through the lens of this camera. The silent "battle" has begun since the moment Ye Zi stepped into the door of the live broadcast room of "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking".
"Mr. Ye Zi, we meet again, thank you for accepting our invitation." Lin Liming politely got up to greet him and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand. The last time Ye Zi came to participate in the interview, she sat there motionless.
Ye Zi stepped forward quickly, shook Lin Liming's right hand hard, and then let it go.
"Sister Lin, this should be me, Ye Zi is very grateful to Sister Lin for inviting me again, this is my honor." Ye Zi was very polite.
Ye Zi knew that he was just an intruder in the Xiangjiang music scene now, and he had to remember to be cautious at all times, when Lin Liming had already taken the initiative to show his kindness and politeness, then he should repay the past with more polite words and actions. When you don't make a mistake, others will take a magnifying glass to find fault with you, once they find the wrong mistakes in these details, what awaits Ye Zi will definitely be a storm.
It is very difficult for any outsider to integrate into the local society, not to mention a place like the Xiangjiang music scene, which is drunk and golden, mixed with various interests, money, fame, etc., which attracts thousands of eyes, and it is even more difficult to integrate smoothly.
Be cautious in what you say and do, that is something that must be paid attention to at all times. Of course, you shouldn't be too cautious when it's time to make a move and miss your chances. The balance in this depends on each person's own grasp.
Lin Liming stretched out his hand to invite.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Ye Zi."
When Ye Zi sat down and said hello to the audience friends in front of the TV, Lin Liming said with a smile: "Mr. Ye Zi, I will interview you on behalf of the audience first." Recently, your name has appeared frequently every day in the Xiangjiang media, and the number of times is rare☆dǐng☆diǎn☆小☆Say,.2↑3.o≠s_(); , even the emperor superstar rarely appears in the media so frequently, I don't know what Mr. Ye Zi thinks about this? ”
Ye Zi was very vigilant about Lin Liming's "lifting": "Sister Lin, you are too award-winning, I am just a little singer who has not released a record yet, not to mention Sister Mei, Brother Xueyou, and Principal Tan, these emperor superstars, even any singer who has published an album I can't compare, don't make fun of a little singer like me." ”
As soon as the voice changed, Ye Zi said to the media: "Sister Lin, I have also seen the recent disputes in the media, to be honest, I am very uneasy." ”
"Oh? How does this mean? Lin Liming then asked.
"Sister Lin, what do you think, where is a little singer like me worthy of so many heavyweight experts to express their opinions? What is it not a sin for these critics to argue about the prospects for the first album of a young artist like me? ”
"Sister Lin, you said yes, right?"
Lin Liming praised it in his heart, Ye Zi's politeness and weakness now are just right, and he has a very good grasp of the proportions of his speech. Just like this sentence just now, Ye Zi only expressed that he was uneasy because of his own affairs, but he did not show any weakness about the prospects of his album.
This is just a kind word, Ye Zi's respect and politeness as a junior and as a new singer have all been done, this is the humility that should be had, but after careful consideration, these words actually did not destroy Ye Zi's own morale and confidence.
That's what you say.
Lin Liming said with a smile: "Don't be presumptuous, being able to cause debate among experts is where your success lies, and there will be three famous music critics in Xiangjiang to participate in tonight's program in a while, and you can ask them for advice when the time comes." ”
"As it should be." Ye Zi diǎn diǎn head: "I can have the opportunity to ask for benefits from the seniors in the Xiangjiang music critic industry, Ye Zi can't ask for it." ”
Ye Zi's words are also on the premise of being polite, and he does not show weakness at all.
The words of weakness had already been said at the beginning just now, and Ye Zi had already shown that he "didn't dare" to accept Lin Liming's comparison with the Emperor Superstar, which was the most correct attitude. But now that the show has already begun, and those music critics are about to appear, it will be completely unnecessary to show weakness.
"Okay." Lin Liming diǎn diǎn head, very happy in his heart. If Ye Zi is too humble and polite, and he doesn't dare to really express his thoughts, then the effect of this show will lose more than half, and now seeing that Ye Zi is so confident to "ask for benefits" from the experts, this is exactly what Lin Liming and the program team want.
"Audience friends, let's invite Mr. Chen Yichen, a new singer of Huaxing Records, who will officially release his first solo album in a week."
The music started again.
After greeting Lin Liming and the audience separately, without Lin Liming arranging, Chen Yichen consciously sat next to Ye Zi.
"An, I heard that your album will be released next week, how is it, do you have confidence in your first record? Can you get a gold record? Lin Liming asked with a smile.
Speaking of this album, Chen Yichen seemed very confident: "Sister Liming, I want to go for a platinum record with this album, and if I can't get a platinum record, I will fail!" ”
Chen Yichen's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Lin Liming was slightly stunned. Just now she said that the Golden Record was already secretly praising Chen Yichen, but she didn't expect this young man's spirit to be so high, and the first record was thinking about hitting the industry's highest standards such as Platinum Records. Although it sounded like he was not ashamed, Lin Liming heard a strong confidence from Chen Yichen's words.
For a young singer who is just preparing to release his first solo album, this is an extremely rare self-confidence.
Without waiting for Lin Liming to react, Ye Zi smiled and hugged Chen Yichen's shoulders and said loudly: "Sister Lin, just wait and see, I absolutely believe that this record of AN will definitely break the platinum number." My expectation is at least double platinum, Sister Lin, and we can come back to your show in two months to verify this result. ”
This is another statement with strong confidence, and this is the prediction that Ye Zi is making for Chen Yichen's album. Regardless of whether Ye Zi blindly believes that Chen Yichen's appearance will be very good, or whether he is really sure in his heart, such a mentality is extremely rare.
"Good, good, good!" Lin Liming clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Then I'll book a time with the two of you in two months now, well, just put it in ...... That weekend in early September was good. Mr. Ye Zi, if AN's new album really breaks the double platinum, I, Lin Liming, will celebrate you out of my own pocket! ”
Lin Liming has not been so passionate for a long time, with Ye Zi and Chen Yichen, two young people, strongly infected by their self-confidence, Lin Liming seems to feel that he is back in his youth again, and he is working hard day and night for his ideals. At that moment, nothing seemed to stop me from rushing towards my goal.
At that time, I was also so proud and confident!
……
"Okay, I talked to two young people for a while, and I felt like I was back when I was young, young...... That's really good! Lin Liming sighed, and then continued: "Next, I'm going to invite three music critics tonight. ”
"First of all, I invited Mr. Lei Ming, a columnist from the entertainment edition of "Famous Daily" "Weekly Music Review", a columnist from the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao", an associate professor of Western music history at Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a famous music critic."
After the introduction, Lin Liming stood up first, facing the position where he entered the door and greeted Professor Lei Ming's presence with a smile. Ye Zi and Chen Yichen also stood up, which is polite, and it is also a kind of courtesy that juniors in the music world should have.
In the sound of brisk music, Professor Lei Ming, who was white and chubby, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a scholarly demeanor, soon appeared on the scene in the live broadcast room. Lin Liming first shook hands with him, and then Chen Yichen and Ye Zi shook hands with Professor Lei Ming successively, and the two sides got to know each other.
When Lin Liming introduced Ye Zi, Professor Lei Ming deliberately looked him up and down, patted the back of his hand, and smiled gently. However, Professor Lei didn't say anything to Ye Zi, so he sat down on the sofa opposite Ye Zi and Chen Yichen, and looked at the two young people opposite him with a smile.
Ye Zi also looked at the other party with a smile, but in his heart, he recalled the message that Yutai Wenhui told him.
Professor Lei Ming, 41 years old, graduated from the Faculty of Arts of Chinese University of Hong Kong, majoring in Western music history, and has been teaching at the university since graduation, and is currently teaching Western music history at Chinese University, and was promoted to associate professor a few years ago. In his spare time, he has been running music review columns in many newspapers and periodicals such as "Famous Daily" and "Chengbao" for a long time. According to Wenhui, Professor Lei Ming's view of diǎn is relatively mild, and his commentary style is not too aggressive, and he is able to tolerate the existence of different opinions. His music critics have always been known for their professionalism, and are deeply loved and welcomed by the middle and high-end classes in Hong Kong.
He is very close to major record companies such as Huaxing, P, and others, and the requirements of these companies will generally be "completed according to the price and quality", and there will be no temporary price increases. In the Hong Kong critics' circle, if you select the ten most popular music critics among readers and audiences, there will definitely be a share of Professor Lei Ming, and if you change to five, there will still be his deposit. As for whether he can finish in the top three, there will be different opinions, but at least he will be a strong contender.
However, even if he does not enter the top three, Professor Lei Ming is also a very influential professional music critic. Lin Liming invited him to participate in this show tonight, probably because of Professor Lei Ming's professionalism in music. Since it is necessary to conduct targeted on-the-spot debates, the professionalism is of course an issue that Lin Liming and the program team need to consider. In the Hong Kong critics' circles, Professor Lei Ming's professionalism is well-known and admired by everyone.
"I am so honored to be here! Thank you for taking the time to say yes to the show's invitation. In the face of a senior and professional music critic like Professor Lei Ming, Lin Liming has no diǎn shelf, and he is very polite to thank him first.
Lei Ming smiled and shook his head: "Ah Ming, you are so polite, I am also deeply honored to be on your show." Maybe I'm on your show today, and someone will recognize my face as soon as I go out on the street tomorrow, and then I'll be famous with you. ”
"Speaking of which, I still want to thank you, Amin, there will be such opportunities in the future, but remember to find me again."
He is not a small celebrity, but his speech and demeanor are very modest and polite, this is the first music critic Professor Lei Ming tonight. (To be continued.) )
