Li Zhongsheng and Luo Dayou were very familiar with each other, and they were always indifferent to each other when greeting each other. However, the more this happened, the more it seemed that the relationship between the two people was so good that there was no taboo at all.
However, he had never met Elaine, so after the introduction, he hurried forward to say hello, and finally there was a smile on his face.
But there was still more surprise than curiosity, which could be seen from the way he frequently looked at Luo Dayou inquiringly.
Luo Dayou wouldn't explain to him: it wasn't until the food and drinks were served that he had his first words: "Zhongsheng, come and develop in Xiangjiang. The fast pace and relaxed atmosphere there make me very relaxed and very relaxed." I feel like I’m living like a fish in water!”
Li Zhongsheng didn't listen to his deception: "The circle in Xiangjiang is too small. You will have different psychological feelings in the mainland and in Xiangjiang, which will also be very beneficial to music creation. Listen to Shanzi's music. Only by looking at the overall situation and the big picture can This is the future direction of music. The relatively narrow thinking that is partial to one corner can no longer keep up with today’s social progress.”
Liu Qingshan strongly agrees with this point of view: "The mainland changes almost every day. It doesn't take long for you to leave a certain city. If you go back in two months, it will be a different experience!"
Li Zhongsheng nodded: "It is developing so fast that it can be described as changing with each passing day. Take Kyoto as an example. If I don't go out for a few days, I might get lost. You may find it a bit unbelievable, but it is indeed my personal experience. !」
"Is it so magical?" Luo Dayou's attitude became serious, "I've heard that the mainland is developing very fast, but it can't be that exaggerated, right?"
Elaine glanced at him with a smile: "It's so exaggerated. Many of my colleagues go there frequently. According to them, the experience is different every time. It's very exciting!"
Liu Qingshan took the opportunity to add: "As far as music is concerned, I am more optimistic about the development of the mainland. Although Hong Kong and Taiwan music still dominates the mainstream market, this situation will be reversed in a few years!"
"I believe what you said, because your music has surpassed the current overall trend of music in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially in the Bay Island. Many young singers are imitating your music form." Li Zhongsheng said this.
Then he looked at Luo Dayou: "You haven't been back for more than a year, right? The works of us old guys have become a thing of the past. Except for TV variety shows, most radio stations rarely play the songs of our era. Unless it’s a special program that recalls classics!”
Luo Dayou smiled bitterly: "It's the same in Xiangjiang. Shanzi's songs are sung everywhere, including all his English songs, which have now become songs in many primary school students' P3."
Liu Qingshan has always been embarrassed when others praise him in person, so he quickly changed the subject: "Our vertical line will hold its first concert in March. If the recording effect of this song is good, it can be put on the playlist. A must-sing piece."
Luo Dayou laughed loudly: "According to what Elaine said, our entire group has to take credit from you. This song will definitely become popular again with your movie. Just because of this song, the audience will buy our tickets." It won’t be a loss!”
Li Zhongsheng deeply agrees: "If someone told me about this way of becoming famous before, I would just sneer at it, but this guy is different. Any of his works have terrifying virality. Coupled with the popularity of Ip Man 2, everyone There’s nothing wrong with Brother You’s point of view. I didn’t expect that as we both get older, we will eventually have to ride on other people’s popularity to become popular!”
Just as Liu Qingshan was about to express something, he stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Don't be embarrassed, we are all old, and losing the mainstream market is inevitable. We don't feel uncomfortable ourselves, and we don't need you to cover it up for us!"
Luo Dayou also didn't want to show any sign of decadence: "What about Jackson? His status in the industry is much higher than the two of us. But now the European and American market is the market for new generation singers like Taylor and Justin and black music. He The sales of hundreds of millions of records that lasted for more than ten years have now become obsolete albums and no longer have significant growth. This is the reality, and we understand it very well!"
"The scary thing is that Taylor and Justin are singing the songs written by Mr. Liu, including those black music, and the new style of music inspired by him that is combined with pop music is also popular!" This is Elaine's opinion.
Seeing that his attempts to change the topic had no effect, Liu Qingshan simply talked about the movie: "Am I not the God of Medicine and watched the movie that is being released now? How do you feel about it?"
As expected, Li Zhongsheng was the first to fall for the trick: "I don't know about other places, but the one on Wandao has a deep feeling. The most common saying at present is that the subject matter is well chosen. It has the criticality of Hanguo movies and the Tianzhu movies. It is interesting, but the most fundamental reason why it can touch so many people is that it is authentic. This is a realistic work based on the lives of the Chinese people."
Elaine then added: "Hong Kong is also a general view. What it allows us to see is a real portrait of China. A bottle of patented medicine costs 40,000 yuan, and most ordinary people cannot afford it. Life has become a Family burden, this kind of problem may appear in more families in various countries. The dilemma of having a life-threatening disease and no money for medical treatment can easily arouse the empathy of the audience. "
Luo Dayou gave a thumbs up: "I just watched it the day before yesterday, and I started crying in the middle of it. From hope to despair, it is a process, a kind of psychological endurance. In the face of death, we all It's so small. Faced with survival, it brought everything down! Shanzi, brother, I have to say, you really dared to film. It comes from reality and reflects the truth of society. I wonder how your film was approved in the first place. ?」
"The mainland is not as miserable as you outsiders imagine!" Liu Qingshan was surprised by Luo Dayou's reaction, but he did not forget to explain in time, "In fact, the official circles are deeply disgusted with this kind of deformed social phenomenon! I I'm not praising the mainland government. Otherwise, why would they give me a pass and why would they organize official movie viewings? These all show that they actually care about people's livelihood, but they have never been able to stand up and slap themselves in the face before. !」
"Don't they think of you as a gunman?" Luo Dayou's tone was somewhat meaningful.
Liu Qingshan chuckled and said, "If it's because they want to make a change, I'll be used as a gunman. Not only will I not object this time, I will also be a gunman without hesitation in many more times in the future." , because I think it has nothing to do with politics!”
Li Zhongsheng raised his eyebrows at Luo Dayou, "You heard it, this is why Shanzi has more appeal than we did back then. He has a very terrifying pattern concept, and his broad vision also determines that he can create more It’s an atmospheric work. Now think about it, will you have a deeper feeling when you listen to his song "Lonely Warrior" again?"
Elaine seems to prefer hearing others praise her idol: "Also, Mr. Liu has donated more than 200 million to charity alone. You must know that these donations are what he has achieved in four years since his debut. Who among you artists has such courage and courage?"
Liu Qingshan suddenly felt that his little idea failed again, and somehow it turned a corner and ended up on him again.
He quickly dominated the conversation again: "When you go to the set one day, I will secretly show you a wonderful scene from Ip Man 2. I'm sure your teeth will be blown away!"
Luo Dayou immediately became interested; "There are rumors outside that you are going to create the world's first real kung fu movie, which will not use any special effects for practical effects. We will go to the studio tomorrow, no, it should be today!"
Elaine said equally excitedly: "Then you eat quickly, eat early and go to bed early, and rush there as soon as work starts in the afternoon!"
Li Zhongsheng rolled his eyes at Luo Dayou: "We are here to do business, let's get the song recording done first, especially the arrangement. We have to adapt it to something different from the original version, and try to fit the movie as well as possible. The atmosphere and something I want to express!”
Luo Dayou laughed loudly: "Because of this, we should see what he actually filmed. I think we will go visit the class today, but Elaine, you have to pretend to be Zhongsheng's staff and stand upright." Stay away from me!"
Li Zhongsheng was no longer willing: "It's a good idea of yours to get away from yourself, but drag me into the scandal! But it's okay to do this, just let Elaine really be my girlfriend for a few days, I'm not afraid Scandal!"
"A friend's wife should not be bullied. Is there anyone like you who is a brother?" Luo Dayou was furious. "The elder brother is like father, and the elder sister-in-law is like mother. I don't know. Call me daddy and mommy!"
"Go away, you can't take a joke!"
"You can't joke about this kind of thing. I'm still counting on Elaine to give me a beautiful daughter!"
"Are you really emotional? Okay then, I won't compete with you, but if Elaine changes her mind, you can't blame me!"
Elaine responded to such ridicule with ease: "If I change, I will only change to look younger. If Mr. Liu says that, I can give it a try!"
Luo Dayou picked up the wine glass and took a big sip: "Elaine, I want to kill you, it will hurt your self-esteem!"
...
The meal did not last long. Liu Qingshan arranged accommodation for the guests and rushed to the studio far away in the suburbs before the morning rush hour.
On the way, Shi Hui was still chattering to him: "Sister Yi Lian is so beautiful. Even though she is over forty, people who don't know will believe her even if they say she is in her twenties!"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "You are good at everything, but you are a bit gossipy. Look at your boss, I never worry about other people's private lives!"
"Hurry up!" Shi Hui gave him a look of disdain. "On the way back from the airport, I saw it through the rearview mirror. You were asking people a lot of gossipy questions, and there was a smile on your face. Obscene!"
