Chapter 68: Rolling Stones
He Hang, the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone Music Magazine in China, was sitting in his office, his slender five fingers grasping the fluffy bread and savoring the freshly baked food in his mouth.
There was a TV set in front of him, and the good voice of China was playing in it.
As a program that only started last year, The Voice set off a huge storm as soon as it was broadcast, and at the same time made several students popular, and also made a considerable number of students show their faces in front of the audience.
Such a program naturally got into the eyes of these music magazines, and its importance is still very high.
When he saw Su Ke's performance, he was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect such a strong person to appear at the beginning of The Voice!" ”
Listening, He Hang changed his opinion, "Although her strength is strong, she doesn't have the madness of rock and roll, but she is very smart to use her style and charm to cover up her flaws." ”
"It's just a pity that flaws are flaws, even if they are covered up in front of professionals, there is nothing to hide, this is a singer who is destined to miss the award."
The award is not important, but it is important to say that it is not important, and for singers who want to be crowned kings and queens, the recognition of awards is only one level lower than the importance of popularity.
Soon, the TV station showed the second cadet.
The second is Li Lin.
"It's a very casual match, if it's not that the stylist of their company is lazy, or the company behind him doesn't pay much attention to him." He Hang glanced at Li Lin and defined him.
As the editor-in-chief of the top music magazine 'Rolling Stones', he sees people in his own way.
And when Li Lin opened his mouth and sang "East Wind Breaking", Hehang's views were all overturned, "What kind of music style is this?" ”
"There is an antique feeling under the modern instrument performance."
"It's incredible."
Hehang's eyes were full of disbelief.
As the editor-in-chief of a music magazine, he has a considerable understanding of today's pop music, even the folk music in remote mountainous areas, he has dabbled in it.
But Li Lin's musical style at this moment is unheard of by him, and he feels that a new style of pop music will sweep the music world and bring unimaginable changes to the modern music scene.
"Convene." He Hang made a phone call while staring at the TV, "All the people above the editor-in-chief have come to my office. ”
But after a while, all the people in the company came over, and there were five or six people.
Looking at them, He Hang asked lightly, "Have you all watched the good voice just now?" ”
Suddenly, these editors-in-chief understood what He Hang wanted to say, and immediately an editor-in-chief in a plaid shirt pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, "I just watched the good voice." ”
"I think the singer named Li Lin sang "Dongfeng Break" is very worthy of our attention."
He Hang nodded when he heard this, "Talk about your opinion." ”
"It's a very classic song."
"The style of antique minor tunes, the perfect combination of erhu and pipa, and the traditional notation of ancient tunes made me wander in the ancient alleys filled with Tang and Song Dynasty poems."
"A song of the east wind breaks, whose childhood is on the wall? Yourself, or time? The piano is quiet, the people are quiet, and the pipa is broken by the east wind. At the end of the world, the blue sea and blue sky, a light of sorrow, a pot of wandering, a person is quietly telling about loneliness and desolation, but he is reminiscing about the world after the extension. ”
"Thin thoughts, unstolen time, as if I am reading heavy sorrow and bitter sorrow in the boundless life, and passing by every faint passerby who impacts the ancient and modern time and space."
As the editor-in-chief of 'Rolling Stone' magazine, the plaid shirt is very musically literate, and he put forward his opinion after listening to it only once.
He Hang nodded when he heard this, looked at the other editors-in-chief, and motioned for them to speak.
"The tunes are catchy, the words are engaging, the twists and turns are euphemistic, and the heart is warm."
"Singing ......."
"I give a classic rating of five stars."
Many editors-in-chief have exported and gave high praise to the song "East Wind Breaking".
As for the Chinese style, no one mentioned it, because everyone knows that it is Chinese style.
"Lao Gu, you can find a reporter to get the information of this singer, it would be better if you could hold an exclusive interview."
"Lao Li, the next 'Rolling Stone' music magazine will use him as the cover! ”
"No."
"Mr. He, please think again."
"There is no precedent for a newcomer to make a cover!"
Everyone stopped Hehang, and the small office became a vegetable market.
It's true that they like "Dongfeng Po", and it is not wrong that they have a high evaluation of "Dongfeng Po", but it is not okay for Hehang to put Li Lin, a rookie singer, on the cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine.
Unlike the roadside magazine, Rolling Stone magazine is the authoritative magazine in the music industry, and its cover is not on the top singers.
It's a tradition it's always had.
And Hehang wants to break this tradition and hand over the cover of the magazine to a newcomer who has just debuted, which has a very big risk, if Li Lin succeeds in the future, it is good to say that Li Lin succeeds in "Rolling Stone" is to know people, but if Li Lin fails, it will be miserable, other magazines will definitely laugh at "Rolling Stone" magazine in secret, and "Rolling Stone" magazine's own reputation will be disgraced.
The risk of 'losing fame' for the sake of a title of 'knowing people' is obviously unworthless in their minds.
So these editors-in-chief all persuaded Hehang.
He Hang looked at the editor-in-chief below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his decision could not be changed, but he still needed to convince these colleagues, "Everyone, please be quiet. ”
His words succeeded in quieting the office.
"People may think that I am in danger, and that a 'knowledgeable person' is not as good as a possible 'reputation dust', but don't forget that we are not the only top music magazine in China."
'Rolling Stone' originated from 'American Rolling Stone', and before its arrival in China, there was an authoritative music magazine called 'Contemporary Music Circle' in China.
After its arrival, Germany's 'New Music' magazine and Britain's 'Music Time and Space' entered China, becoming a situation of the four powers.
"What kind of reproach will we receive when they make Li Lin the cover character and become a big success?" Hehang looked around.
The reason why these editors-in-chief are reluctant to use Li Lin as a cover is because there is a risk, and they feel that there will be no risk if they remain unchanged, but if other top music magazines launch Li Lin as a cover character, then the 'Rolling Stones', which is at the forefront of music, will also be impacted.
After all, it's also a top music magazine, and if one discovers a new music style and the other doesn't, what will those musicians think and say?
