China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 593 The music world is updated, Cao Tianwang first mentions [Tian Lai Award]

If they didn't feel deeply when they signed the contract, when the MV was filmed, they immediately felt the difference.

Wang Ya and Yu Shi are managers, a 27-year-old man with a crew cut, who drove them from the dormitory to the set in his own Toyota.

Ma Yuntao's manager is a chubby middle-aged woman who drives an Audi A4 with a calm face and a strong momentum.

Anze's agent didn't come, it is said that he was busy endorsement for Jiao Enjun, who is also under his banner, and sent an assistant to accompany him by car.

Sun Yanyan was the worst, the filming location was too far away, and taking a taxi was too expensive, so I took the subway with my best friend almost an hour in advance, and then took a taxi here.

When I arrived at the scene, I was still secretly heartbroken, Renyi's salary was not high, and she was a newcomer, so she got very little money.

As a result, the round-trip transportation fee is only 200 yuan a day, and the filming will not last for a few days at a loss, otherwise, she will have to live on earth before the crew settles the bill.

After they all arrived, Di Lirouba came in a hurry. Liu Rui led the team and got a Mercedes Benz.

Everyone else is stupid. They are all newcomers. Is there such a big difference in treatment...

Of course not so big, a pure newcomer like Di Lirouba is not qualified to be equipped with a car, let alone a Mercedes-Benz.

This car is the exclusive caravan assigned to Da Mimi by the company. Because the crew of "Fortune Inn" equipped her with a caravan, this car is idle in the capital. Liu Rui called it temporarily to support the new couple.

Liu Rui got out of the car with Di Li, and several other managers greeted her with smiles on their faces, especially the woman, who smiled like a flower.

"Manager Liu, why are you here in person?"

"Newcomer, take her to say hello."

Not long after graduating from university in 1999, Liu Rui joined Fanxing and worked as an assistant with Hu Jing.

With deep qualifications, outstanding achievements, and strong backing, she has a detached position in Fanxing. Apart from Vice President Jiang who is also the head of the artist management department, the two deputy directors have to give her a little bit.

"Rouba, this is Sun Ping. You call him Brother Ping. He brought Lan Xi. This is Teacher Wan, the manager of Liu Yan and Jia Ling."

Liu Rui introduced Di Lirouba to the two managers who were present today. As for the assistant who accompanied Anze, she didn't know him, and the other party introduced himself.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone arrived, and everyone went to the shooting scene.

Today is the MV of "The Year in a Hurry", and it is the only MV in which all six people appear on the stage. The theme is the youth campus, six people and three couples or ambiguous objects.

The director Chen Hanzhu just came over, and several agents brought people over to say hello.

For a group of pure newcomers, Chen Hanzhu was not very enthusiastic, and only when he saw Liu Rui did he show a smile.

"Xiao Liu is here too."

"Director Chen, I haven't seen you for two months. You are getting more and more energetic."

Liu Rui's position in the Fanxing Group is aloof, but not everyone ignores her. For example, in front of Chen Hanzhu, she would never dare to take it easy.

When she was Hu Jing's little assistant in the early years, Chen Hanzhu was already the contracted director of Fanxing. Hu Jing's early plays were all directed by Chen Hanzhu.

Now that Chen Hanzhu is the top executive of the company, Cao Xuan's hard-core confidant is in charge of the power, even if Liu Rui is protected by Hu Jing, his status will be much worse.

Of course, because of Hu Jing's face, Chen Hanzhu would not provoke her easily, after all, his confidants may not be as good as Pillow Wind.

The two have their own strengths, and there is no conflict of interest. Coupled with the relationship in the early years, the friendship is not bad.

In particular, Chen Hanzhu is responsible for reviewing and supervising the content of Fanxing Film and Television, which can also affect the casting to a certain extent. In principle, Liu Rui may still ask for help in the future, so his attitude is relatively low.

"Director Chen, this is my newcomer, please take care of me in the future."

Liu Rui is a qualified agent, so she seized the opportunity to help Di Li Rouba brush her face in front of Chen Hanzhu, who was also very face-saving.

"I remember this girl, she performed very well during the interview, and if I see a suitable role later, I will recommend it to the crew."

"Thank you, thank you, I will treat you to dinner later."

Liu Rui and Chen Hanzhu chatted happily, but the other managers didn't have such a big face.

The same "Director Chen takes care of you", Chen Hanzhu nodded with a smile, what he said was beautiful, but it didn't sound nutritious at all, but he didn't give the correct words directly like just now.

"..."

Although the few newcomers are not well-known, they have also been at the bottom of the house, and they easily guessed the tricks inside, and the eyes they looked at Di Li's flesh became more and more complicated.

Some people were sour and jealous. Although they didn't dare to say anything, they felt a little alienated and alienated Di Lirouba. At the same time, some people wanted to get close to Di Lirouba.

The only one who didn't make any moves was Sun Yanyan, or she didn't want to make moves, but she simply couldn't make it through.

No matter how they split up, they were still Fanxing's contracted artistes. As a non-staff member, she was directly ignored by the collective.

Sun Yanyan was very fortunate that he had tricked his best friend into coming here, at least he had someone to talk to, otherwise he would have died of embarrassment today.

After the roles were assigned, several actors began to put on makeup. They were all makeup artists for the crew, and Di Li Rouba was directly brought by Liu Rui as the company makeup artist, and was one of the ace makeup artists in the Fanxing makeup team.

The small dressing room suddenly began to smell the sour smell of lemon.

This time Di Li couldn't take it anymore, so she whispered to Liu Rui, "Sister Rui, isn't it a bit... extravagant, I'm just a newcomer after all."

Liu Rui rubbed her head and said, "You don't understand, the entertainment industry pushes high and flatters low, and puts on a posture so that people won't underestimate you."

Then Liu Rui took a look at the newcomers: "Don't worry, this time it's mainly about brightening up the muscles. In the future, I will abide by the rules in other crews."

In fact, Manager Liu did it on purpose today. Among the newcomers who signed in, Di Lirouba, the freshman, is the most tender. The others are not old-fashioned, but they have also been in the society. .

So Liu Rui intends to frighten her, whether it's jealousy or flattery, seeing how much she attaches importance to Dili's chubbyness and the resources in her hands, she doesn't dare to think carefully about her.

Of course, this was just a matter of convenience, and Liu Rui didn't take these newcomers too seriously.

Di Li Rouba followed her, which was equivalent to joining the Eastern Palace Party, and her resource status was no longer at the same level as these people.

Liu Rui was not in the mood to intrigue with them. Ever since she saw Di Li's chubby face, she had only one goal, which was to bring out another top actress in the entertainment industry.

"Rouba, remember what my sister said to you yesterday, after the MV is finished, you go to Shanghai to go to school first, improve your professional ability, acting is not everything in Fanxing, but without acting, the road will be bumpy.

As for filming, don't worry, if there is a role that suits you, I will naturally fight for it for you. "

Liu Rui attaches great importance to Di Li's chubby. This girl's appearance and figure are too good, and she is a natural star seedling. In her heart, she even ranks ahead of Zhao Xiaodao.

Hu Jing's fame had nothing to do with her, only Da Mimi was brought out by her, and it was also when Liu Rui was most proud.

If another "big honey" can be brought out, Manager Liu even thinks that Vice President Jiang can make way for her.

For the last time, she was appointed as the head of the artist management department that she also co-authored with. By then, she will be the number one manager in China with Fanxing's management department in hand...

Dili didn't know that Liu Rui was ambitious, but until now, she was still a little confused.

When she signed up for the MV audition, she really didn't have much hope, she just cast a wide net, she didn't expect to get through all the way, not to mention the role, she even signed a contract with Fanxing directly, and her manager was Hu Jing and Yang Mi's manager.

Even if she is a newcomer, she understands the benefits such an agent can bring to it.

As for today's incident, although she wasn't quite used to it, she did see Liu Rui's energy and the importance she attached to herself. Di Li Rouba felt that she should be obedient and wait to be led by Liu Rui all the way.

Liu Rui didn't let her down either. In "The Year in a Hurry" filmed today, she is the C female lead of the MV three pairs of CP, which is the main story line.

At the same time, Di Li Rouba also participated in the two MVs of "Paper Short and Long Love" and "Bird and Cicada", and is also the actor who starred the most in Cao Xuan's new album.

It's no exaggeration to say that the three MVs of Cao Xuan's new songs are starring, and he can catch up with a TV series with good results.

Especially for a pure newcomer like Di Li Rouba, the starting point is very rare, and it is even expected to enter the eyes of some directors.

However, when the filming started, Liu Rui's brows didn't relax much.

The MV story of "The Year in a Hurry" is very simple, it is a few classmates reunited and then recalled the story of youth.

Wang Ya and Ma Yuntao are a pair, they belong to Huanxi friends, they fight and fight, and Sun Yanyan and Yu Shi are a pair, they learn and progress together, and love each other for a long time.

Di Lirouba and Anze are the main storyline, and they are also the only stories in the MV that have experienced ambiguity, love, and breakup.

Dili Rouba in school uniform is still very beautiful, pure and lovely, any man who sees him will think of him in his heart in middle school.

But in terms of performance, it is difficult to call it unsatisfactory, and it can even be said to be the worst among the few.

However, it is also understandable that it is only October, and it has only been two months since Di Lirouba passed the exam. Apart from military training, she has not received much formal professional training, so poor foundation is inevitable.

Fortunately, it is an MV, and the requirements for acting skills are not so high, as long as you can perform a general meaning, you can pass the test.

And although Di Lirouba is poor, the other actors are not particularly good. They are really the best actor and actress, and they won't be struggling all the time.

Perhaps their overall level is better than some ordinary actors or ensemble performers, but they are not particularly outstanding.

Well, except for Sun Yanyan.

At first glance, this girl's acting skills are nothing special, but the advantage is that she is stable enough to go through all the scenes without picking out any obvious mistakes.

This kind of performance can be regarded as a good actor in normal times, let alone being complimented by other people. Several managers who didn't care much about her originally started to discuss it.

"I heard it was specially recruited by the boss."

"The acting skills are quite solid, as if he is an actor of human art."

"He looks good and has potential."

"..."

Discussions are discussions, and no one ran over to solicit. There are many capable and potential people in the circle, and none of them have become famous or famous.

If Sun Yanyan joined Fanxing or was particularly favored by Cao Xuan, they might still be tempted, but now he is not Fanxing's person, and Cao Xuan did not pay special attention to him afterwards. The situation is quite embarrassing, and everyone is too lazy to bother.

Liu Rui had a faint liking for him, but she already had a chubby Di Li in her hand, so she didn't care anymore.

The Eastern Palace Party has always focused on quality over quantity, so it can concentrate resources as much as possible.

Damimi is the most popular right now, focusing on movies, TV dramas are not top-level sources.

During her transformation, Liu Rui and Donggong Party mainly supply most TV drama resources to Zhao Xiaodao.

In the same way, when Zhao Xiaodao takes the lead, the resources of various supporting roles or heroines of ordinary dramas are saved, which is just right for the newcomer Di Lirou.

If there is one more Sun Yanyan to compete, the current rookie resources are enough, but as they gradually become famous, if the two are tied together, no one will have an advantage.

Liu Rui was able to push Da Mimi to the stage to confront Liu Tianxian head-on in a short time. Apart from Da Mimi's own fighting spirit, the Donggong Party's throwing resources at her alone was also a key factor.

If it weren't for the desperate efforts to support Da Mi Mi, Zhao Xiaodao should have started to take the lead 1 to 2 years earlier than now.

Of course, after two years of honing, Zhao Xiaodao's mentality and business level are better, and it is easier to shine after being promoted.

But in any case, with this lesson learned, Liu Rui has no idea of ​​bringing other people along for the time being, at least until Dili Rouba improves.

Sun Yanyan also noticed the indifference of the managers. To be honest, she is now constantly fighting between heaven and man.

On the one hand, after a lot of hard work and finally being admitted to the Humanities and Arts Department, he can have an iron rice bowl until retirement.

On the one hand, it is a great opportunity to become famous, and you can earn millions or even tens of millions a year.

Fortunately, Sun Yanyan is a girl, and her family conditions are not bad, otherwise she would have joined Fanxing long ago, but even so, the balance in her heart is constantly tilting like Fanxing.

After all, everyone is a reality. Not everyone can have the opportunity to earn tens of millions, but they are willing to chase their so-called dreams with a salary of 800 yuan.

Sun Yanyan originally thought that she was not an ordinary person, but today's incident agitated her a bit.

The difference in treatment aside, the key is that I can't even afford a car, so I pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

After the filming of "The Year in a Hurry", Sun Yanyan began to ask the unit to see if there was a way to get the best of both worlds. She had no choice but to resign.

.........

The MV was shot very quickly. After all, Cao Xuan only took a few shots by himself, and the others acted in groups, so the progress naturally took off.

By the end of October, several MVs have been successfully produced.

The album is officially confirmed to be released on time on January 2011, 1, so it is planned to start promoting the first promotional song at the end of October.

This album has many high-quality songs, so it is naturally more atmospheric. One song at the end of October, two songs in November, and two songs in December. A total of 10 songs will be released for promotion.

Prior to this, Cao Xuan had only two albums with such arrogance during the promotional period.

Chinese Fengshen album "Bright Stars".

English Fengshen album "Legend".

This time the new album "Dazzling" followed suit. I don't expect to replicate the miracle of "Bright Stars" back then, but I also hope to be able to match some of the benchmarks.

However, no matter whether this album can be compared to "Bright Stars", at least for the fans, it is really blessed.

When Cao Xuan reposted the promotion plan of "Xuan" on Weibo, the fans in the comment area rushed to tell each other and were very happy.

【Thank God, Cao Xuan finally remembered that he is a singer】

[5 songs in one breath during the promotional period, he really made me cry to death]

[This is the rhythm of playing Wang Zha, it seems that the boss is very confident in this album]

【Ahhhhhhhhh, why are there two more months?】

[I have already started saving money, I want to buy 100 collections]

[Upstairs is dreaming, I don’t know about it online, it would be nice if I can grab the physical album]

[Come on, let the Chinese music scene feel the dominance of the big devil again]

【Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

【Uh, didn't there be a piece of "Qing" last year?】

[I don't care, the English album doesn't count]

【…】

On the same day, Cao Xuan's new album was not even released, but the publicity plan made it to the top of Weibo's trending searches, which also silenced many singers.

According to incomplete statistics, after Cao Xuan announced the new album plan, in less than a week, a total of 21 singers, large and small, announced the rescheduling.

把2010年12月至2011年2月要发布的专辑单曲全部推后到2011年3月以后。

And as time goes by, it is very likely that singers will choose the same operation one after another.

Cao Tianwang's power is so terrifying!
Speaking of which, Cao Xuan has not released a new Chinese album for more than three years since the release of "Human World" in the summer of 2007.

However, although he has not released an album, his scattered singles and theme songs are still top-notch in Chinese.

"Welcome to the Capital", "My Dream", "Love Each Other", "Wan Jiang", "Chapter", "Fulfilling Your Wish", "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers", "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth"...

Pick any one at random, it is a song with outstanding influence in the past two years, and there are even some Chinese classics that have become the top ten or even the top five of the year.

Nowadays, the Chinese music scene is becoming more and more lonely, and the music scene has gradually begun to change.

The space for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers is gradually being squeezed by rising singers from the mainland.

According to a comprehensive calculation based on the Baidu song search index and related network popularity and playback volume, only Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Mou Wang and JJ Lin are Hong Kong and Taiwan singers among the top ten singers in the Chinese music scene this year.

Although it still seems to be half of the country, but compared to the early years, except for Cao Xuan who was firmly in the first place, singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan can almost monopolize the music scene, and the downward trend is visible to the naked eye.

Singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan fell into decline, and it was Fan Xingjie and Internet singers who rose instead.

Among them, Fanxing is the most important. In the previous list, six mainland singers won five of them under Fanxing. Cao Xuan, Gu Miaomiao, Phoenix Legend, Wu Gao, and Zhang Jie have become the most powerful presence in the Chinese music scene. .

The last one is Wang Sulong. He, Wu Gao, and Xu Liang form the Big Three of QQ Stars. They are the representatives of Internet singers nowadays. They can even suppress Jay Chou on the QQ Stars main platform. Even Cao Xuan sometimes avoids his edge.

The prevalence of Internet culture and the rise of Internet singers have advantages and disadvantages.

On the good side, Hong Kong and Taiwan have regained the right to speak popularly, and the Chinese music scene has gradually become the mainland, and many grassroots singers have even been born.

On the bad side, there are no taboos in Internet culture at present, and the works are good and bad. There are a lot of salivary songs, and even marginal works.

For example, in 2010, some of the hottest songs included "Brother is just a legend", "Business of Love", "Wrong Wrong Wrong", "11 Years", "Who Can a Broken Heart Love", "Little Three" and so on.

These songs are good or bad, different people have different opinions, but there is really no deep connotation.

If it is said that in previous years, these saliva songs and Internet songs can still be split [-]/[-] with those connotation songs, this year the ratio between the two is likely to reach [-], or even [-]/[-].

There is no doubt that saliva songs and Internet songs occupy the bulk.

Of course, popular songs are cultural entertainment in themselves, and Cao Xuan was also born in saliva songs back then.

Even when popular culture in Hong Kong and Taiwan was prevalent, there were quite a few salivary songs, but the packaging was more exquisite, and the lyrics and composition were more mature, but in terms of nutrition and depth, many songs were not even worth mentioning.

However, there is at least a lower limit for Hong Kong and Taiwan saliva songs. The production cost of the album is high, and the songs are carefully selected. Even the saliva songs have some merits.

And many of the popular divine comedies right now are produced in batches, and then cast a wide net to catch more fish, and even put together a few songs. .

Moreover, to a certain extent, it has affected the creative atmosphere of the Chinese music scene, and the entire music scene has become a little impetuous like never before.

This year when the Music Association held a general meeting, some people proposed to ban these divine songs on the Internet, so as to restore the Internet and the music world to a brighter future.

Cao Xuan objected with his real name, he thought blocking was better than sparse, let alone beating them all to death with one stick.

Any kind of pop style grew savagely at the beginning. When the pop music scene first came out in the early years, it was also criticized as a decadent sound, and there were many edge balls and bad songs.

If we want to correct the atmosphere in the music world and correctly guide the development of online songs, we must rectify the names of online singers, establish standards accepted by the industry and the public, and the rest will naturally align themselves.

To put it bluntly, it is Zhaoan.

These online singers are very famous now, but they are not valued by others. If the mainstream is willing to accept them, many people will come to join them.

At that time, we will establish a model and form an effective positive atmosphere. At that time, there is no need for the government to come forward to suppress, and those singers who continue to make trouble will be excluded internally.

How should I put it, pop singers back then, folk songs and hip-hop in the future all played this way, and it has been tried and tested.

As for how to accept it in the mainstream, it is actually very simple, let online singers appear more on TV shows and evening parties, and give awards.

Cao Tianwang, who had seen it so poorly, finally formally proposed the concept of the "Sound of Nature Award" for the first time at the Music Association Conference in the second half of 2010.

The sounds of nature, from "Zhuangzi·Qiwulun": "Women hear the sounds of men but not the sounds of the earth; women hear the sounds of the earth but not the sounds of heaven.

Lai refers to ancient musical instruments. The sound of nature is the sound of all things in the world. It is also the most natural and interesting sound in the world. To some extent, it can be regarded as the highest state of music. Nowadays, it mostly refers to the beauty of music or sound.

Regarding this new award, Cao Xuan thought about it for a long time. At first, he wanted to call it the Golden Phoenix Award, as it seemed that he already had this award.

I also planned to call it the Golden Lark Award, but I felt it was a bit too petty. The Golden Sound Award was not clear, and the Golden Microphone and Golden Record Player were not suitable, so I finally chose the term "Tian Lai".

In Cao Xuan's vision, Teana will be backed by publicity, sponsored by the Chinese Musicians Association, with the participation of the media and various TV, radio, and Internet platforms, to create the most authoritative pop music award in the Mainland and even China.

Of course, considering that one step is in place, the obstacles of all parties are relatively large, Cao Xuan has also made plans to take it step by step.

For example, now, his banner is to target online singer awards in the [Tian Lai Awards], such as original musicians, so that online singers can enter the mainstream and set a benchmark.

Cao Xuan planned to let the Music Association approve the project first, and then take over the matter himself. Once he has the power, he can slowly add private goods.

Cao Tianwang plans to end his career as a singer with two more albums. He hopes that after he retires, the [Tian Lai Awards] will be officially held. At that time, even if he leaves the music scene, he will still have work to do.
