For the first time tonight, Cui Jian's face showed an expression of emotion, although it was full of incomprehension: "Shanzi, this is all going nowhere, please let me slow down first, I have to understand the ins and outs of this matter. !”
In fact, the conversation between the two people was not mindless and abrupt. They just looked at each other blankly, and suddenly burst into laughter at a certain moment.
The two grown men seemed to be in this burst of laughter, and their relationship with each other seemed to suddenly become much closer.
But Cui Jian is a person who is obsessed with rock music. The next topic naturally turned to music: "Shanzi, don't mention to others that I am your idol in the future. It's too embarrassing! You are amazing now. Thomas Holopani and Chester Bennington have become your little brothers, and many of their works are recognized as avant-garde music types in our mainland rock circles!"
One of these two people is the core of Nightwish, and the other is the lead singer of Linkin Park, and they are not much younger than Cui Jian in terms of qualifications.
Uncle Ge, who introduced Cui Jian here, spoke at this time: "The key is that every song of Shanzi can basically break into the top of the major charts in Europe and the United States. This is the most terrifying thing!"
Cui Jian nodded in approval: "That's true. Shanzi continues to inspire the global music scene with his sensitivity and pioneering nature in music. This is the pride of all Chinese people!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "My music can only be said to be too commercial, too obvious in its intention to cater to the market, and lacks a unified expression of the core of my personal thoughts. Unlike Brother Jian, who is a singer with a big soul, to a certain extent It is said that his thinking has reached the core of our impoverished era. His greatness should be compared with that of Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I am not even close! "
His words are not just compliments, but reverence from the heart. For example, he has almost no thoughts of plagiarizing Lao Cui's songs. It's not that he doesn't dare, but he is in awe.
But Cui Jian seemed to have heard too many similar comments, and he responded as calmly as ever: "These are all nonsense and have no practical effect! I think your future works should be in line with the social culture of our country." Closely connected to express as many voices as possible of the Chinese youth. Or you can learn from our traditional poetry expressions and try more, but this is not to take a clear stand against the influence of Western music, but to find a mutual integration What a great idea!”
Before Liu Qingshan could answer, Jin Xishan was already explaining to him: "There will be many such works in Shanzi's first solo album. Currently, he only has time to record one song, mainly because he is too busy!"
Cui Jian's eyes lit up: "Pop song or ancient song? Is it possible for me to listen to it?"
"It's easy!" Liu Qingshan laughed, "It was recorded here. The style is somewhat similar to Jay Chou's music style on the Bay Island, leaning towards ancient pop music. What I am most satisfied with is not the melody, but the lyrics! "
He recorded here and signed a confidentiality agreement with the staff here in advance. Therefore, despite the constant flow of people in the circle, no one got any information.
The sound source was in Liu Qingshan's laptop, and he told Shi Hui to take Cui Jian to a recording studio on the second floor. He couldn't leave himself, so as not to attract other people's attention.
So he and Uncle Ge took their wine glasses and walked around the other tables, while Jin Xishan went straight to the female artist's side.
She and Na Ying were still dating normally as usual, but they were no longer involved in music projects.
Today there are more female singers. For example, there are no less than ten or six students from Gu Yun’s group.
Most of the actresses Jin Xishan knows are in the crew of "Know or Not", and many more people have not yet had the opportunity to meet them.
Moreover, most of the famous actresses belong to Zhongyi. Today's situation is different from the application for roles in Director Feng's family. They don't dare to openly go against the wishes of the company boss.
However, the male actors in Zhongyi are relatively free, such as Chen Daosheng, Zhang Hanyu, Hu Jun, and Jiang Wu. Because they cooperate with Liu Qingshan and their agents are Wang Jinghua, these people are much tougher than those actresses. Today In the evening they sat at the same table.
There are exceptions among actresses, such as Liu Jialing, who doesn't care about the attitudes of Zhongyi's two bosses, because she and her husband have such a deep foundation in Hong Kong.
She was the most active at this table at the moment. Seeing Liu Qingshan's arrival, she even opened her mouth to complain: "Every time you make a move, it makes half of the entertainment industry shake. This was the case with the previous premiere of "Kung Fu". The same is true for the opening of Domain. The health center will open again tomorrow, and "Let the Bullets Fly" will premiere next. Do you have to alarm so many people every time?"
Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly: "At least your arrival tonight is not specially invited by me, right? I am afraid of disturbing everyone, so I have tried to keep a low profile!"
Director Feng spoke for him: "I prove this. I asked him before if he wanted to do something big, and he refused at the time. Unfortunately, the reality is out of his control. He can't drive people away!"
Chen Daosheng put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his head and said, "Shanzi, it doesn't matter whether you are intentional or not. Sister Ling's words are not without origin. If you should be low-key, keep a low profile. If you are too public, you will easily attract jealousy!"
Liu Qingshan's attitude is very upright: "Yes, yes, I don't even plan to hold the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly", otherwise it will be easy to become a standout in the industry!"
"It has to be done. After all, it is your first directorial work, and the meaning inside it is greater than the box office."
"Forget it, I'm too busy during this period, with two TV series, three movies, and I still have to find time to record my first album!"
"You just kept quiet and made a big splash! You have rushed down the current mainland market, causing many people to cry wolf. Of course, this is the last thing the capital side wants to see!"
This is true. For any project involving Liu Qingshan, the capital parties that can participate are actually his old connections. For example, Qinghuang and Huaying are all traditional industry giants.
It’s not that others can’t see the market flow he brings, but he himself is an investor, and it’s not easy for others to get involved in his project.
If you can't eat grapes, you will naturally complain about sour grapes. It is inevitable that more people will become rebellious towards his project.
It's just that they don't dare to make big moves on the bright side. Xiangdong Group is an example. It has been repeatedly criticized and has become a real teaching material.
What's even more frightening is that there is too much incomprehensibility in Liu Qingshan's way of coping. Let's go head-to-head with such a person. At least for now, no one dares to come blatantly.
Moreover, he has almost a monopoly on domestic film special effects technology, which is why other established production companies have been unwilling to step forward.
They can obtain the same technology through other channels, but it requires at least twice the production cost. For the capital side that regards profits as their lives, no one is willing to be taken advantage of.
Therefore, the current domestic entertainment industry is adopting a wait-and-see attitude. After all, the industry impact brought by Liu Qingshan is still in the filming or preparation state. Perhaps after his first movie is officially released, some emotions will be aroused. Fluctuated.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan said: "No matter how hard I work, it is just to develop my own career. There is no doubt about this, right? The eight major Hollywood film companies, all of them can only stare at the scripts I come up with other than taking the initiative to cooperate." , what’s more, my hard work has been wasted? My own works will impact their market in the future. Even if they want to unite to hinder my development, they must first unite with those companies that have obtained my scripts, right? But those few films They all have my copyright, but I broke the contract in anger. What will happen to their investment? That’s an investment of more than one billion US dollars!"
Director Feng slapped his thigh: "Let me tell you, why did you provide them with the script for no reason? It turns out that the trick is here!"
"Foreign capitals are all cannibals. They will rush in when they see the benefits. Even if they know that I have other intentions, they will stare blankly. Otherwise, don't be so enthusiastic about my script! The same is true in the domestic market. , if you can't accept my interference, you can only come up with works that can compete with each other. I have seen many other dirty tricks. Once I catch a handle, I will definitely make you bankrupt! I am young, But you should never act recklessly. Only by being harmonious and making money can there be mutual benefits. Suppressing and smearing is useless to me. At worst, I will mess up the situation, withdraw my stall and go out to develop!"
"Not to mention, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, only you can do it right now, and there won't be much loss in the future market!"
"Why I chose to go abroad first is because of this consideration. Whether I do the opposite or find a new way, the first thing is to build on my own strength. If you have the ability, you can also produce songs to impact the European and American markets, or Do you think it is reasonable to take out scripts and let Hollywood compete for them? As far as the domestic market is concerned, I have not broken industry rules, and I have not brought in external forces to infect Chinese culture and disrupt market conditions. What excuse do you give? To target me?"
"Having said that, your appearance has taken away a lot of market resources. Although this situation has not really happened yet, your potential market appeal is enough to show that you are about to rise suddenly!"
"There is no way. The question goes back to the topic just now. The market is based on the works. In fact, the situation in the domestic cross talk circle is the most realistic manifestation of this problem! Why can Lao Guo's Deyun Club sell tickets? ? Why do those so-called artists, sitting on the status of an industry that guarantees income despite droughts and floods, launch rounds of accusations against Lao Guo? If you have the ability, you can also sell tickets to make money. Is this a normal market reaction? "
"I also know the person you mentioned. I heard that he has a good relationship with you. Why haven't you seen him today?"
"Deyun Club is in its infancy. They have a performance tonight. I called and told them to go there tomorrow!"
