Chapter 107: Attending the ceremony
On the evening of March 15, 2013, the 22nd Crooked Dog Music Billboard Awards Ceremony officially opened at the Beijing Grand Theater.
Meng Wen, who was the last person to pay attention to this crooked dog music billboard, originally didn't want to participate. As a result, on the night before, Hao Shengtian, vice president of Crooked Dog Music, personally called to confirm whether Meng Wen could arrive on time. After all, it was the vice president of the hall who called in person, and Meng Wen couldn't help but give face to others, crooked dog music is one of the main channels for Meng Wen to get money now, so he can only agree to it.
Hao Shengtian only called Meng Wen in person, and he was indeed worried that Meng Wen would be absent because of previous disputes, in fact, it is inevitable that singers will be absent for one reason or another at the annual Billboard Awards Ceremony.
But not this time, the biggest difference between this year's Crooked Dog Music Billboard and previous years is that this Billboard is the first Billboard since the spin-off of Crooked Dog Group, and it is only ten days after the split of Crooked Dog. The company has repeatedly explained that it must ensure that this billboard is carried out smoothly, and the outside world cannot think that the crooked dog group has been spun off, and crooked dog music will not work.
That's why the company sent a vice president like him to be responsible for the preparation of the award ceremony. In the past, the ceremony was prepared by the marketing director.
This award ceremony is not only related to the outside world's perception of the crooked dog music after the spin-off, but also related to Hao Shengtian's opinion on the company's board of directors. Therefore, since the company's spin-off, Hao Shengtian has devoted himself to the preparation of the award ceremony to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
As an awards ceremony, the most embarrassing thing is that no one comes to accept the award when it wins the award, so people will think that this kind of list has no authority and influence.
Therefore, Hao Shengtian focused on the invitation of personnel, the more celebrities come to a ceremony, the more influential and authoritative your list is, and the more people will compete for this list. And the singers who have been nominated for various awards in these personnel are even more important. These singers all have the opportunity to accept the award on stage, but it will be embarrassing if one of them does not arrive, but they win the award again.
Hao Shengtian will choose some of the more influential figures in the music world and the more important figures for this ceremony, and invite them by phone. The rest of the minor ones will be confirmed by phone from your assistant. And Meng Wen is a more important figure for this ceremony.
Although Meng Wen was still unknown in the first half of last year, in the second half of the year, Meng Wen became a blockbuster and became the most nominated singer on the 2012 Crooked Dog Music Billboard. It stands to reason that whoever wins such an honor will be eager to rush to the award ceremony venue to accept this honor.
But this singer is too fast. It is too unexpected, and it has been attacked by countless people because of this list. Therefore, Hao Shengtian really couldn't be sure whether Meng Wen would be angry at the list because of this or would not participate for fear of causing controversy again.
This is why Hao Shengtian personally called Meng Wen.
After answering the phone, Meng Wen drove to Beijing the next morning, and first went to Tang Huan's Tianxing Entertainment Company, and the operating company of the online video platform was in the same building as Tianxing Entertainment.
As soon as Tang Huan saw Meng Wen's arrival, he couldn't close his mouth with joy. Regardless of the company's affairs, he took Meng Wen and went upstairs to see it every day. As soon as Meng Wen saw Tang Huan's expression, he knew that the development momentum should be very good.
After Tang Huan's introduction, Meng Wen learned that the current development momentum of the online video platform is really good, and after nine days of the prediction version being launched, the daily traffic has ranked sixth among domestic video websites. And now it is still maintaining a growth rate of 50%, and entering the top five is just around the corner. Tang Huan has decided that once the company enters the top five, he will end the current prediction version and let Tiantiankan officially go online.
At noon, Tang Huan invited Meng Wen to have a meal at a nearby hotel, saying that it was to celebrate, one was to celebrate the success of watching every day, and the other was to congratulate Meng Wen on the click of "Waste Wood Brothers 2" exceeding 100 million.
Poor Meng Wen's "Waste Wood Brothers 2" relied on the strong popularity of the first part to break through 100 million hits on the ninth day. You must know that the first part of "Waste Wood Brothers" exceeded 100 million hits in just six days, this is the gap between the online platform, although Tiantiankan is currently ranked sixth in the same industry, but the gap with Cool Movie, that is, the previous crooked dog film and television, is still very large, and the last nine of the top ten video websites are all estimated to be barely comparable to Cool Movie.
In Meng Wen's view, this second reason for congratulatory is really not a good reason.
In addition to Tang Huan and Meng Wen, there were also three beautiful singers signed by Tang Huan Tianxing Entertainment during the banquet. These three beautiful singers are still a group, called DRD. The three were also nominated for this year's billboard and will also attend the awards ceremony in the evening.
The three of them debuted just a year ago, although the three girls debuted earlier than Meng Wen. But the third daughter treats Meng Wen completely with the attitude of treating her predecessors, and she treats Teacher Meng one by one. made Meng Wen a little embarrassed, corrected it several times, and finally the three daughters also learned Tang Huan to call Meng Wen Long Shao.
Originally, at the beginning, Meng Wen really believed that Tang Huan invited three beauties to help the fun, but halfway through drinking, Tang Huan began to leak out the fox's tail, and kept praising Meng Wen for his talent, not only can make movies, but also compose music and lyrics first-class.
began to squeeze Meng Wen with words again, asking Meng Wen to compose a song for the three beauties on the spot in front of the three beauties, so that they could see Meng Wen's talent. And the three beauties drank and let go, and when they heard the boss's hints, they also began to toast Meng Wen non-stop.
Meng Wen also realized that Tang Huan brought these three beauties here, not just to cheer himself up, but to ask for songs from himself, and he didn't know what was special about these three beauties, which was worthy of Tang Huan's praise.
However, on the wine, in the face of the toast of the three beauties, Meng Wen really couldn't find a reason to shirk it, and in the end he had no choice but to agree, otherwise he would have to drink himself down in this wine. However, Meng Wen didn't make Tang Huan feel better, it's okay to write songs, but the three beauties must each give Mr. Tang a glass of wine, and they must all do it.
When Tang Huan heard this, he didn't say a word, he drank three glasses in a row, who told him to ask for help?
Meng Wen couldn't say anything when he saw Tang Huan so happy? Besides, writing a song was not a difficult thing for him? But Meng Wen didn't write it on the spot, but told Tang Huan to wait for his inspiration to write a song for the three beauties.
