"That's right, you don't know my creative ability. It's not difficult to write pop songs, but why do it to them alone? Because the market positioning of this pair is a national group, and they are facing square dances and those Grandpa and auntie, and the more this style is, the more suitable it is for performing on major party stages. Tell Linghua, when they have completely established their status in the music industry, when will I consider changing their singing style!"
Liu Qingshan explained patiently.
"Haha, Ah Yi said the same thing as you. It seems that I don't understand you yet." Jin Xishan said with a smile.
"I revealed my thoughts to him before. You can't say this to Ling Hua in advance. With her fiery temper, why didn't she jump up and object on the spot?"
"Also, in comparison, Ah Yi understands the importance of market positioning better, and if it continues to develop in the form of a group, the pop music style obviously does not have more longevity."
"Is this what Ah Yi said?"
"Well, don't forget that he was Linghua's boss before. This group is a business to him, not just a singing group!"
"Haha, this kid has a good brain! Another thing is that they don't have the talent for acting. Getting invitations from variety shows and evening parties is their main source of income. Although traveling all over the country is a bit tiring, it's easy to worry about. Even the rehearsal process can be saved.”
"What's more important is the popularity of square dance and the non-replicability of their singing style. Very few record companies dare to consider this style of music for their artists."
"Yes, people have started to dance in the streets and alleys now. When this trend spreads from cities to towns, people will not agree to change the style of music."
"So that's what you thought about, how cunning!"
...
Three more days soon passed, and this day was the last day for the crew to stay in this film and television city.
However, Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan had already left a day early. They were rushing to Shanghai Satellite TV to discuss some cooperation projects.
The crew did not go into the city, but rushed directly to the film and television city in the outer suburbs of Shanghai.
They showed up at the TV station at ten o'clock that morning. Deputy Director Feng Weidao and Variety Department Director Nian Ran were already waiting in a small conference room.
In fact, the person closest to Liu Qingshan is Deputy Director Hou Taizhang, but this person is currently on a business trip in Kyoto, so he handed over this program negotiation meeting to Feng Weidao to host it.
"Currently, the market is clamoring for the second season of I Am a Singer, and the next one is the fourth season of The Voice. Regarding these, I would like to hear Director Liu's opinion."
After a brief greeting, Feng Weidao went straight to the topic.
Although the production rights of these two programs have been taken away by Shanghai Satellite TV, Liu Qingshan still has a firm say in the process design of the program. This is naturally to avoid the unpleasant things that happened in the original version.
Especially for Good Voice, he has always insisted on his right to speak and will never allow secret operations.
Therefore, he talked about the most content of this program; "I will not interfere in the production process, but I must eliminate all possible influence of human relationships, including the selection of audition singers. You are the one who chooses. It's just that if I hear something A singer came in through a relationship. Sorry, there will be no cooperation for the next season!"
Among the people currently working with mainland entertainment companies and TV stations, he is the only one who has the confidence to express his attitude.
Feng Weidao obviously knew this: "Don't worry, Director Liu, these four judges have also talked with our station, otherwise they will leave first."
Liu Qingshan's tone immediately calmed down: "The other issue is the selection of me as a singer. This is the first time your station has taken over the production of this show. According to the contract, I will occasionally appear during the production. This is no problem, but the specifics Regarding the selection, I don’t recommend choosing young popular singers.”
In fact, this issue was the main reason why he was invited, because Shanghai TV was involved in public relations and had the intention of selecting popular singers.
As expected, Feng Weidao began to look troubled: "Director Liu may not understand yet. This suggestion was made by our leader, and it is said that he also
I received a call from Kyoto, and I am also an intermediary! "
"Please don't forget what the purpose of our program is!" Hearing this, Liu Qingshan's face visibly darkened. "We will use all the efforts of Taiwan to gather senior singers, mainstays and new generation leaders in the music industry to create a unique A top luxury music feast. What is a leader? A truly powerful singer, not those popular singers who rely on traffic to support market attention. I think this is clearly stated in our cooperation contract!"
He began to come to his senses. It was most likely that Deputy Director Hou Taizhang's absence from home was intentional. The purpose was of course not to cause any rift or even conflict with him.
The expression on Feng Weidao's face became even more difficult: "Director Liu, please consider the difficulties of our station. After all, such a big stall has to be taken care of, instead of just one music show to do. Many things are connected. Since the hair is on Now that you’ve said it, we can’t pretend not to hear it, right?”
"Haha, I know that your business scope is very wide, and I have no plans to participate in other projects, but this variety show is my copyright, and it has been clearly reflected in the contract. I have the right to intervene in the specific selection issues, otherwise I have the right to take back the production rights, and only half of the copyright fees will be paid!"
"So, we are discussing with you, not making any arbitrary decisions. We can talk about anything. There is no need to go online like this, right?"
"Director Feng, do you think that strictly abiding by the contract is above the line? I'm sorry, I think there is no need to continue talking about today's meeting, because I don't feel the slightest sincerity from your station!"
"Mr. Liu, don't worry!" Nianran stepped forward to ease the relationship. "To be honest, we also have difficulties. It is said that someone has approached the ministry and wants to recommend their artists, and at the same time he has stated that he will help us find them. Here are two big investors that you may not know much about. It’s the end of the year and our station must have better economic performance data to report!”
"Why don't I understand? It was originally a project for next year. If you sign the contract at this time, you can use it to increase the data for this year. But this matter needs the help of the leaders above!"
"There's no need to be so straightforward, right?" Feng Weidao immediately joined in, "Director Liu, our station is indeed in trouble. This year's report data is not pretty, and we really need this money to cover it up. What I said You’re sincere enough, it’s a deeper meaning that only you can understand.”
Liu Qingshan tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart: "I know your difficulties, but are you not afraid that if you choose a popular singer, the reputation of the first season of our show will be lost?"
"It's not that serious, Director Liu, isn't there a replacement singer? At worst, the replacement will be done after two periods, so this problem can be avoided in time? Besides, there is something wrong with your attitude. Who said popular singers are not capable singers? General, your point of view is a bit too one-sided."
Liu Qingshan was still suppressing his emotions: "Director Feng, since you said that, do you understand the singer's ability? As long as you can ensure that there are no problems with him during the production process, I can consider taking a step back!"
"You're trying to force someone into a difficult situation. There are no specific judging criteria for literary competitions. Besides, I don't have enough time to understand each program in detail, let alone a specific person."
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingshan did not show any obvious mood swings, but Director Feng's tone became increasingly harsh.
Jin Xishan, who saw the secret, spoke at this time: "Director Feng, I am also from Xueyu Company, do I have the right to speak?"
"Of course, Miss Jin can express her thoughts at any time!" Nian Ran rushed to express his opinion.
"Director Feng, since you don't understand the general situation of me as a singer, why did your station come to talk to us? Can't you find someone more professional and who understands the entire program process better? Or, your appearance is just Is it your personal will and not the result of Shanghai TV’s high-level meeting?”
Jin Xishan planned to pick out Liu Qingshan and become the villain himself. After all, he was much more thoughtful than himself, and he could come up with follow-up recovery measures, which gave this dispute a way to advance and retreat.
If Liu Qingshan were to directly provide hard steel, any buffer would be lost.
It's like starting a war directly.
Deputy Director Feng's face immediately dropped: "Director Liu, is Miss Jin qualified to represent your opinions?"
Jinxi Shanggang was about to say something, but Liu Qingshan waved his hand to stop him.
He reached out and poured himself a glass of water, "Whether Sister Xishan is qualified or not is not a problem. The problem is that I heard it. You stood up this time and came to us in a hurry. It shouldn't be the result of the summit meeting, right?" In other words, someone mentioned this matter at the meeting, but they didn’t come up with a concluding written opinion, but just a verbal suggestion, right?”
Liu Qingshan has never been in the habit of letting others take the blame for himself, let alone his woman, so he is ready to make a decision.
Deputy Director Feng's expression became even more ugly: "As the first deputy director of Shanghai TV, don't I have the right to manage a certain program?"
"Oh? It turns out to be Deputy Director Feng." This time Liu Qingshan added the word "vice" in his title, which is equivalent to expressing his attitude. "I don't care whether you are first, third or fourth. Come on, yes Doesn’t it mean that if I don’t agree to your interference, I can stop this show?”
"Director Liu, you..."
"Director Liu? You want to call me sir? I have never worked with you before. You are not qualified to call me this more professional title! In addition, no matter how you operate and how much autonomy you have, regardless of this show, you are still Please reply to the so-called leader who assigned you. If you have anything to do, come to me directly and find a dog to speak out. Is it because I am not qualified or do you look down on me?"
