China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 130 Rejected Liu Tianxian and the album is coming

Huaxia Entertainment has several stages of development. In the eighties and 90s, music and movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan were the hottest.

After 2000, the domestic Mandarin music scene developed even better.Around 2010, the music scene became less popular, and there were fewer and fewer good music and singers.

Then it was the turn of variety shows to shine, and various variety shows sprung up.

After many years of popular variety shows, the short video app was launched. At this time, short videos and live broadcasts attracted the most attention.

This is 2012, just when the music scene is not so hot anymore; at this time, even if some new singers become popular, it can't change the fact that the music scene is going downhill.

After all, no matter which industry, there must be some celebrities or representatives there.Just like the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, it is true that it is not as brilliant as before, but God E is still very good at playing.

So why is the domestic music scene declining?Why is the music chart that so many people paid attention to before no one cares now?Why can't there be so many powerful phenomenal singers at the same time now?
When the Chinese music scene was hot, a series of top singers appeared, such as Jay Chou, Lin Xiaojie, Tao Jiji, Xianglihong, Jolin Tsai, Sun Yanzi, May Band, SHE, Xiao Yaxuan, etc.; this name can be longer... ··
So why is this happening now?In Li Jingkun's personal opinion, he thinks there are two major reasons:
First, people don't like to buy physical albums anymore, and the online album and song charging system is not so perfect, and there are many pirated copies; therefore, many middle- and low-level singers cannot make money for a long time.

Since there is no money to be made and the prospects are not good, then there will not be more people investing in this industry, so naturally there will not be so many good singers and good works.

Second, there are more and more entertainment items, people have more and more choices, and attention has been attracted away.

Music is not a necessity of life for most people.If you don’t listen to music, there are games, movies, variety shows and other entertainment options to choose from.

Then at this time, Li Jingkun's Mandarin album "22" was released.

The songs in the "22" album are actually similar to the songs he selected before, with both more complicated and simpler arrangements.As mentioned in the previous article, the songs "created" by Li Jingkun revolve around a "good-sounding" premise, and don't care about the complexity of the lyrics and arrangement.

Therefore, I dare not say that all of his albums are excellent, but most of them can make people feel good, which is a basic fact!

Therefore, after "22" was launched, it once again caused a sensation like "Very Convergent", and it became very popular on the Internet.

There is no way, even Jay Chou has not released an album for a long time, only one or two songs are not good!

But "22" obviously barely managed to do this!
Of course, in terms of quality and classics, it is definitely not comparable to those of Jay Chou's albums, but in recent years, the album sales charts must be able to occupy a place!

In addition to the first two songs, the album also includes songs such as "Happy Cloudy Sky", "The Wind Rises", "The Most Beautiful Expectation", "Accident" and "Annual Ring".

"Beautiful! I blew up this album! It's really worth it! I thought it was worth the money because of the two title songs just released, but I didn't expect there to be more surprises in it! Almost There are seven or eight songs that I like very much! I am stunned!"

“It’s been a long time since an album has so many songs that I can’t get tired of listening to! I really like it!”

"At first I liked "Your Answer" very much, but when the second title song came out, I fell in love with "11". After buying the album, my God! "The Most Beautiful Expectation" and "The Wind Rises" also Good to hear······"

"Is Li Jingkun really going to use up all his talent? Is he making it as the last album? Just take out a few of these songs, and you can make a few more albums!"

"I used to think that Li Jingkun chose "22" as the album name, which represented that the work he produced at the age of 22 was a bit too pretentious. I just got this album..."

After all, "22" is a Mandarin album, and the quality is good, so since its release, the popularity it has aroused is not weaker than "Very Convergent", and the sales volume is even higher than this mini-album.

······
As early as before the album was released, Li Jingkun asked people to help send some albums out.So a lot of celebrities got the album before it was released.

However, Liu Tianxian hadn't heard these songs because he wanted to run a publicity campaign.A few days after the album was released, she just returned to her home in Kyoto.Only at this time did I receive three albums from Li Jingkun.

Many celebrities often travel around because of work.Therefore, for the convenience and comfort of living, I will buy some real estate in many cities.Cities such as Kyoto, Modu, Xiangjiang, and Hengdian are relatively popular places, among which Kyoto is more popular.

When Liu Tianxian returned to her villa in Kyoto, there were already many of her packages waiting for her to unpack.Some are sent by friends or family members, some are sent by fans, and very few are bought by myself.

Most of these are of course not sent here, many of them are sent to the company, and then they are screened and sorted before being brought over.

She quickly opened the albums sent by Li Jingkun, and took a look at one of the albums. It contained a cover, a CD, a lyrics book and two folded posters.

She first looked at the cover, it was a recent personal photo of Li Jingkun, of course it was very handsome and stylish, and then wrote his name and the title of the album in artistic characters in the lower left corner.

Then she flipped through the lyrics book and the poster, but there was nothing in the lyrics book, and the poster was of course his personal photo and album information.

Then she stopped unpacking other packages and went directly to the TV in the hall, put the CD into the DVD player, and turned on the speakers.

"The light of dawn

will pass through the darkness

break all fear i can

Find the answer..."

·····
"Cause you know
Love is like heavy rain, how can it make people not worry
How are you doing, can you hear what you want to say..."

From "You's Answer" to "11", from "Happy Cloudy Day" to "The Most Beautiful Expectation", Liu Tianxian couldn't stop at all.

Later, she couldn't help finding out her phone and sent a text message to Li Jingkun: "I've been listening to your album, and I like almost every song! It's so good! I also like many lyrics! Good! I envy you, and I also admire your talent! I will definitely recommend this album to you a lot!"

Yes, although Liu Tianxian hasn't opened the scarf yet, he usually accepts a lot of interviews when promoting movies, and he can say a few words for him casually, and can help him heat up a little casually.

As for the scarf, this album has already received a lot of hot topics, and the names of many songs are directly a topic!
Teacher He also wrote a paragraph on the scarf:

"It's been almost a year since Jing Kun came to "Happy Camp" last year. At that time, our happy family was promoting new songs online on the show, but now he just threw out two Wang Zang albums. Really Special surprise!

I like the two music albums very much. People from the Happy Family also said that Jing Kun is really amazing, and I must invite him to sing live in the future!
The new albums "very restrained" and "22" are recommended to everyone! "

······
Liu Tianxian sent him a message, and it just so happened that he had already finished working at the company, so he quickly replied to her.

Maybe she really likes this album, and asked a lot of questions, such as the meaning of the album name, the meaning expressed by the song "11", what "Cloudy Happy" is about, and so on.

If you want to explain this to her, you will definitely talk about the things you did with the black fans before, which really resonated with her, after all, she was hacked too badly a few years ago.

Of course, there are still a lot of black fans, but the most difficult period should be counted in the past - after all, the movies made in recent years are not as popular as the previous TV series, so the degree of being black will naturally decrease.

In the end, he might have had a good chat, and asked him the next day if he liked cats.

"It's okay, most cats are quite docile and well-behaved."

"Then do you want to raise it? I have a lot of cats. If you like it, I will give you one."

"I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of it. You know I will occasionally go out to film a movie. Once I leave for at least a month or two, no one will take care of it."

"Is there no one else in your family?"

"I am from Guangdong Province, and my family is in Guangdong Province. I live in Kyoto alone."

"Then did you invite auntie?"

"I didn't ask for an aunt, at most I asked for a cleaning aunt once or twice a month."

"Okay then, I wanted to say that I received two gifts from you, and returned one to you."

Liu Tianxian currently has more than 40 cats, most of which are stray cats she took in.

She felt that Li Jingkun gave her his good works, and it was twice, and it seemed that it was not good for her not to return some gifts.

So after thinking about it, these cats are also her works, so she wants to give this back directly.

In fact, she has given away many cats over the years, some to relatives, some to friends, and some to fans.

Who knows that Li Jingkun is not suitable for keeping cats at present, so he can't force it.

After all, raising a pet does require a sense of responsibility. If she doesn't think about it, she generally doesn't recommend others to adopt it.

In many cases, the cats she sent out would make return visits and home visits from time to time.

·······
After rejecting Liu Tianxian's move to send the cat, Li Jingkun regretted it that day.

Because after the chat, he figured out some things: If she wants to send the cat over, is it possible to meet him?How about a few words?

Then, back and forth, I would ask her about how to raise cats later. Isn't there another excuse to chat and contact?

And if I really want to leave Kyoto to film in other places in the future, wouldn't it be enough to entrust the cat to a friend or a pet store?It's even fine to entrust Liu Tianxian directly!
As a result, after the rejection now, they have no reason to send messages in the next few days.

After all, each other has work to do, and it is impossible to chat all the time without a special reason...

The popularity of "22" is still very high, but it is inevitable that there will be some different voices. After all, Li Jingkun has indeed taken up too much traffic in the past two or three months.

If too much traffic is taken up, it means that many stars have been robbed of their popularity, and their fans and companies will naturally be unhappy. This is one of them.

The second is that it is easy to be jealous if it is too popular, whether it is a colleague or an ordinary netizen. After all, there is no one person or work that everyone likes.

Especially seeing how many people praised him so much, many people have long been displeased with him.

Third, after so many years of debut, he has already accumulated some black fans.

So after the album sold well for a while, more and more people hated him.

There is no way, it is indeed a bit too hot, and things will be reversed when they are extreme.

Many celebrities also suffer the most criticism and black spots when they are the hottest and most popular.For example, Jay Chou, in the hottest years after 2000, was also the time when he had the most black fans.

There are many, many such examples, both at home and abroad, one is the relationship of interests, and the other is the relationship of normal development laws.

As much love as you get, you often have to suffer as much criticism.

"Speechless, I admit that one or two songs in the album are not bad, but recently I have been too annoying to their fans, and they all blow him up to the sky! Many songs in it are not difficult to create, just any music such as composing and arranging Professional students can write it!"

"Yes, just take any song out, such as "Accident", the lyrics are not nutritious at all, and it is completely moaning for nothing, can this also be played?"

"There are also people who say that this album is the same as Jay Chou's previous albums, almost the whole album is very good, there are only one or two songs I don't like... I am speechless, all of this can rub off on Jay Chou's popularity, you Said that Jay Chou can take an album at will, can't kill this "22" in seconds?"

······
Li Jingkun understands this "law of nature", and he also knows that some people make reasonable comments, but there are also people who simply hate it.

"22" is of course an excellent album, after all there are so many excellent songs in it.But when it comes to classics, he himself feels that they are not as good as Jay Chou's early albums.

Because he himself loves "JAY", "Fantasy", "Octave Space" and other albums...

It's just that he is the person involved after all, and it is impossible to completely ignore criticism and bad reviews.

So recently, he has become more low-key, although he didn't hold any signings or anything, it was just a normal promotional channel for promotion.

And in fact, some new news came back during this time, and he asked the company's people to suppress it first, so it's better not to be too showy for the time being.

On June 6, "Suddenly This Summer" was officially completed.

After returning to the company, he continued to invest in the new company. The first main task this time was to audition and screen the young male protagonist of "Detective Chinatown".

After the initial and re-examinations, the selection of the leading actor was successfully concluded.They also picked a suitable candidate.

However, in order to keep a low profile, they did not announce the candidate on the scarf.Besides, this boy himself is a newcomer, and no one will know him if he talks about it, so let's save it for later publicity.

Of course, "Chinatown" is a series of movies, and the leading actor is also a pure newcomer, so naturally he has to sign an artist contract with Longqi Film and Television.

The name of this new artist is Bai Jingting.

In June, the students of grade 6 will have their graduation photos taken, so Li Jingkun must go back.

As a result, going back this time caused quite a stir.

After all, due to the impact of the two albums this time, his reputation has increased a lot; plus this time he came back to take graduation photos, which means that if you don’t ask him to take photos, sign or chat with him now, there may be very few such people in the future. Here's the chance.

Therefore, after the graduation photos were taken that day, many male and female students from other departments and grades came over to chat and take photos.Some even brought their parents along...
"Jing Kun, happy graduation!"

"I bought both of your albums, I really like them! I've been listening to them recently!"

"Brother, can you sign me? It's on the album!"

"Can you take a photo with me? I'm also your fan."

He can only thank them all the time and interact with them seriously.

Even if they are not all his fans, he will take it seriously.

Because life is alive, to be able to study in the same school really requires a very, very great fate!
He is an "experienced person" and knows how precious this is.

And no matter whether they are in the same class or not, many people will never see each other again after graduation.

At most ten or eight years, I chatted a few words in the Penguin group or the Weixin group, and some of them were not even in the group, or even if they were in the group, they would never send a message.

Therefore, after a long delay, he finally came to Su Zhijun's office to look for him.

"Why do you feel that your reputation has increased a lot this time?"

"It is indeed easier for singers to expand their fame to some extent."

A song is only a few minutes long, and it can be played repeatedly, so it is naturally easier for ordinary people to see it than actors and directors.

And he didn't just become popular with one or two songs, but several songs in a row were very popular, so it is impossible for a singer not to be popular.Moreover, several MVs have been released, so it is difficult for everyone to know what the singer looks like.

So this is one of the reasons why many actors will release songs and albums across borders. Good songs are easier to increase their popularity.

But today, the teacher naturally didn't ask him to chat or express emotion, but had business to ask him.

"I probably won't consider taking a postgraduate entrance examination."

"Why? It shouldn't be difficult for you, right? And this was suggested by the department head before." Su Zhijun said.

It turned out that Wang Rui had been thinking about this matter before, and he told Su Zhijun about it in advance, and Su Zhiqiang also called him to chat with him a while ago.It is said that you can take the postgraduate entrance examination first, and then you can stay in school to teach and so on.

"I should have missed the time, right? Didn't the postgraduate entrance examination start around December last year?"

"You can take the exam after you graduate, and you can take the exam at the end of this year. Needless to say, these reasons, I want to know your main reason."

Su Zhijun had known him for so long, so he couldn't tell that he hadn't told the truth.

Li Jingkun thought for a while and said: "The main reason is that I don't really need this honor or these degrees... I don't think it's necessary. It's better to leave the resources and places to those who need it more."

This is the main reason. He already has so many resources and wealth. He really doesn’t need to take up a postgraduate place in the school, and he doesn’t need to take up a master’s or teacher’s place in the future.

Today, he doesn't need an establishment, and he really doesn't have time to continue studying for a degree; in the time outside of work, he would rather leave it to himself to fish, keep healthy, have fun, and so on.

And let alone studying for a master's degree, he has often asked for leave in the past two years of his junior year and fourth year; if he takes up the title of a graduate student again, it is estimated that many people will come to challenge his degree in a few years——for several years in a row With so many works, there is still time to go to school and graduate school?I'm afraid they didn't go through the back door, did they?

So for various reasons, he could only reject the teacher's proposal again.

······
Li Jingkun wants to continue to keep a low profile recently, but more and more news and news have come out, and he can't even cover it up if he wants to continue.

At the beginning of June, the film "Hummingbird" was nominated for two international film festivals, and a few days later, it was nominated for another two...
The reason why I can't hold back recently is because a film festival held in China can also announce the list of shortlisted works, this is the Shanghai International Film Festival.

So far, "Hummingbird" has been nominated for two international B-category film festivals and two international A-category film festivals, as well as a Seattle International Film Festival.

The two B-category film festivals are Kip International Film Festival and Valencia International Film Festival, and the A-category film festivals are Moroste International Film Festival and Modu International Film Festival.

However, it is a pity that most of the finalists are not the main competition unit, including the Shanghai International Film Festival just announced; "Hummingbird" was shortlisted for the Asian Newcomer Award and was nominated for the "Asian Newcomer Award for Best Director" .

It's also a bit strange, he has made several movies, how can he be nominated for this newcomer award?
Strictly speaking, however, it is actually normal. Of course, he is now considered a new director, and after all, it is the first time he has been shortlisted for this film festival. It is not surprising to nominate him as a new director.

His senior brother Ning Hao has made several films since 01, such as "Thursday" and "Incense", and has already won some film awards, the first of which is "Best Director" at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival .

But in 05, he was still considered a newcomer at the Shanghai Film Festival, so he was awarded the Asian Newcomer Award-Most Popular Film.

·····
Although most netizens don't know or even heard of these film festivals at all, it still shocked many people to get five international nominations at once.

"What's the situation? Why didn't you hear the news at all before? This time, you suddenly said that you got so many nominations?"

"Me too, I only found out because I saw the news about the Shanghai Film Festival this time, although I didn't pay attention to the Shanghai Film Festival before..."

"What kind of pheasant film festival are they? They don't have any reputation at all. Did Li Jingkun spend money?"

"Hehe, the IQ on the right is really in arrears. You said that one or two were charged. Maybe I was skeptical, but all five were charged? Not to mention whether Li Jingkun has this ability, even if he does, it's a matter of How much does it cost?
And if I'm not wrong, "Hummingbird" should be a literary movie, and the box office will not be high by then, right?If it really cost money, I don't know if the money can be recovered from the box office at that time! "

"I don't know about other awards, but the reputation of Shanghai International Film Festival has not been very good, right? It is said that it will take special care of Chinese films, and you can win awards when they come..."

"Li Jingkun's fans don't need to brag too much, he is also omnipotent. The Shanghai Film Festival is not shortlisted for the main competition unit, and some of the directors nominated there are also people who play music and bands. I don't need me for the gold content. Say more?"

Many people commented that these film festivals are not well-known, which is true in fact; after all, in the end, there are only two or three large film festivals in the world that are famous all over the world.

So this news is nothing in the eyes of ordinary netizens, and many black fans continue to sing bad news.

But even so, the fame of "Hummingbird" spread in the film circle.

But what Li Jingkun didn't expect was that in order to hack him more forcefully, some black fans even helped investigate his competitors...

It seems that sometimes black fans pay more attention to celebrities than true fans.

Maybe some fans will pay attention to a few hard-working black fans in order to understand the idol's dynamics more easily...
After the shortlist of the film festival was announced, he also went to find out about his competitors, and indeed found a film director who was born in music.

Peng Sanshi, the lead singer and songwriter of the rock band.Their band is not well-known in the eyes of the general public, but they are still well-known in rock circles.

If there are no major changes in the world, in a few years, they will become popular because of a variety show called "Band Summer".

Li Jingkun also got to know some domestic rock bands through this program; but he did not expect that Peng Sanshi is also very good as a director, and he was nominated for the "Best Director Award" of the Asian Newcomer Award.

It seems that there is nothing special about Li Jingkun being a singer and director. Many people can do both well.
