Chapter 22 Reluctantly, willing to be the music director of the rookie singing contest

The next day, Gu Jiahui and Li Xiaotian directly took Li Lecheng to meet Yang Jianen, the program supervisor of the Rookie Singing Contest.

TV stations like to record programs at night, and it is common to record them in the middle of the night, because this industry gets up late in the morning, and after work, it is necessary to set up a set up and debug the rehearsal, and usually start recording at night.

When the three of them passed, Yang Jianen happened to be "working".

Yang Jianen specializes in producing music programs on TVK, and the Rookie Singing Contest is held every summer.

"Golden Songs" is so long-lived, it is the longest-lived music program on Hong Kong Island, from its inception in 81 years to before Li Lecheng's rebirth.

This show is very important to the Hong Kong Island music scene, because it will award the famous "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year" award every year. In addition, they also have the "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Season" award, which is often delayed due to statistical reasons, such as the second season's top ten quarterly selections announced in early August. There are 40 songs in the four seasons of the year, and then ten of the 40 songs are selected as the top ten golden songs of the year, of which the first place is also set up with a gold award.

Is there any gold in this award?

The gold content is naturally very high, otherwise there would not be so many people who tear it apart, but the water inside is also very deep. For example, in the sixth session of the future, the golden song of the year was Amei's "Sunset Song", instead of "Thousand Thousand Que Songs", which was also shortlisted for the top ten in the same year. The same tune, the former sold 200,000 copies in Hong Kong that year, and the latter 350,000 copies, and all Chinese people can sing it, obviously "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is more popular and more classic, and the existence of the top 5 in the Hong Kong Island pop music scene, but the winner is "Song of the Sunset".

This result naturally caused an uproar, a shady turmoil, Chen Huixian's fans exploded, and Amei's fans were in full swing. The final result was that Chen Huixian held a concert, sang the most classic "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" scene, bid farewell to the music scene in tears, and retired directly!

That's how things are going on the rivers and lakes.

At this time, the Hong Kong Island music scene is very strange, as if the rule is that only one person can be allowed to reach the top. Xu Guanjie had to make way for Tan Zhang and had to retire; Tan and Zhang can only save one, and Zhang temporarily retired from the entertainment industry to live overseas...... In the end, everyone felt bored.

Therefore, Li Lecheng chose to help Chen Huixian.

However, at this moment, Yang Jianen saw Gu Jiahui leading Li Lecheng over, and the first thing he said to Li Lecheng was "congratulations".

"What is there to congratulate?" Li Lecheng was puzzled.

"The second season is selected as the top ten, and the song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" must be the first place!"

Li Lecheng is very calm: "I don't think it's difficult, Leslie released "Love for You" in May, which sold very well, much better than Alan's "Love Trap" at the beginning of the year. ”

In the end, this year's "Love for You" sold 550,000 in Hong Kong, "Love Trap" 400,000, and "Love Trap" won the gold award. Sales, popularity, and classicism have nothing to do with whether they win the award or not, Leslie is still from Huaxing, so what reason does Chen Huixian have to win the first prize?

Li Lecheng's words made Yang Jianen choke, and he didn't know what to say, Li Xiaotian was right in front of him, could he tell them that his show did love Tan Yonglin more with his elbows out? But the sales situation that Li Lecheng said is also true......

"Oh, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is just a single, it has been included in the album, and the sales and quality of the album are the official time to see the real chapter...... Whoever wins the first place still has to look at the results of the whole album! Li Xiaotian snorted, but he made a pun, with a sword in his words.

He's upset that last year's "Monica" and "Love for You" were made for Leslie. Then last year's sales were the same as Tan Yonglin's, and the gold award was awarded to Tan Yonglin, if he did this script again this year, he would be angry.

Yang Jianen was speechless, did Li Xiaotian come to force the palace? He is the producer of the show, and he is not in charge of the awards!

Li Xiaotian was in a much better mood when he saw Yang Jianen's deflated appearance, he gave Li Lecheng a look of "thank you for the assist", and no matter what Gu Jiahui and Li Lecheng thought, he said that he had escorted Gu Jiahui over and had said goodbye in advance.

Gu Jiahui shook his head, he knew more about Li Lecheng, and knew that he really didn't have that heart, so he could hand Li Xiaotian a sword.

"Lao Yang, it's none of his business."

"I know, Lok is an honest person, and he doesn't have a heart to speak, how can I take it to heart." In addition to his TVK work, Yang Jianen is also known as the godfather of concerts by later generations, he has coordinated and organized many celebrity concerts, and he has known Li Lecheng for many years.

Gu Jiahui nodded: "I fell like this, this rookie singing contest can only sit on the judging stage as a judge, I think the work of music director and conductor band will be handed over to Ah Lok." ”

"Can he do both? Will he be a conductor? …… I was going to find Xu Riqin to be the conductor......"

"Oh, you are willing to go far, Ah Lok is from a classical music background, being a conductor will only be a little more professional, he is the apprentice of Fu Sir and Master Cai, the arrangement he made for "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" is too powerful, and the arrangement for Danny Tsai's cover song...... It's just that Xiao Xu can't do it, let people get it, but that song hasn't been out of the street yet, if you're curious, you can find Xiao Xu to play it to you. ”

Xu Riqin and TVK also have a close cooperation, anyway, the circle is so big.

Yang Jianen touched his chin: "In this way, who is in charge of the lead guitar of the live band?" ”

"I recommend my friend Ah Hua. I can't do the on-site command, I have to go to work every morning, and I don't have to sleep when I record at night...... Let's let Xu Riqin come. Li Lecheng said very seriously.

He's not stupid, how much money does the band conductor get, and how much does the music director get, if he takes both jobs, TVK will definitely only pay him for the job of being the music director, after all, the big head is taken, and you are made the music director, you don't know each other, and you don't know each other? In this way, Xu Riqin can also be sold a favor.

Li Lecheng's arrangement made Yang Jianen very satisfied, and he simply passed it on the spot.

Gu Jiahui still can't understand it, Yang Jianen is afraid that he had promised this errand with Xu Riqin before, but now he has retained his reputation and earned his favor, and he can be regarded as promoting Li Lecheng, he is naturally happy.

On the second day, Li Lecheng came to TVK to officially sign a contract and serve as the music director of the entire competition, with a remuneration of 38,000. After signing the contract, Yang Jianen directly called several main creators of the program group to hold a pre-planning meeting.

In fact, it is Yang Jianen, Gu Jiahui, Li Xiaotian, Li Lecheng and Su Xiaoliang, the coordinating manager of the preparatory committee.

Yang Jianen was responsible for leading the meeting: "Brother Hui is injured, Ah Lok is the music director, and Brother Hui is only the guest referee this time...... Everyone is from the first to the current original team, so I won't be verbose, and everyone has any comments and suggestions. ”

It's still the same, 30 players have been selected from the audition at the beginning of the year to participate in the official TV competition, mainly two games, one is the 30-in-15 semi-finals, and the other is the final.

"I don't know why, I feel that the influence of the champion is weaker than the last......" Su Xiaoliang touched his chin, they were all his own people, and he was blunt. This program is jointly organized by TVK and Huaxing, and the selected people will be sent to Huaxing.

Li Xiaotian was also puzzled: "Yes, in fact, the overall strength of each session is getting stronger and stronger, after all, there are more people who have signed up, but the star-making effect is average......

Gu Jiahui: "Ah Lok, what do you think?" ”
