Chapter 316 Banquet
Before the arrival of the new year, apart from the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala and the news of various programs, the 48th Tian Lai Awards Ceremony held at the Royal Hotel in early February is the most concerned.

Ning Sheng's Mandarin album "White Dove" once again won six awards: Annual Production, Annual Album, Annual Song, Best Rock Singer, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album.

At the 44th Huaxia Music Awards in September, Ning Sheng's album also won Best Artist, Best Single, Best Male Singer, Best Tour Singer, Best Rock Singer, and Best Rock Album Although Ning Sheng was busy with filming and Ding Xuan was often NG at the beginning, so Ning Cheng did not attend the awards ceremony, Mr. Zheng still sent someone to take back the other five awards for him except the best artist. jackpot.

At the award ceremony of the Teana Award this time, apart from being the nominated guest, Ning Sheng also had the task of award presenter and intermission performance.

Ning Sheng went on stage many times this night, one time to give awards to others, one time to perform on stage, and the remaining five times to go up to present awards. The six nominated awards, except for the annual production lost to the rock Dou Dashen, the other All five awards are in the bag.

Ning Cheng has gotten used to winning awards, and even the words of thanks were prepared by his manager, Sister Lin, for him.

After the awards ceremony was over, Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan, who was not nominated as an award presenter, participated in the subsequent banquet together. Basically, those who won the award and those who did not win the award would come to the banquet to show up, not just to chat with people in the circle , the banquet itself is also the last part of the awards ceremony.

Some people who were unable to enter the awards ceremony on the previous red carpet because they did not have an invitation letter can still hold a banquet at night by being brought to the banquet by friends to chat with the big names in the circle and make connections Outside the hotel, the short aisle is similar to the red carpet before the awards ceremony.

Celebrities who are willing to expose more can pay more attention to it, accept interviews from reporters, and ask them to take more pictures. If they don’t want to keep more, just walk quickly into the hotel.

Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan were naturally the focus of media attention, especially because of the relationship between "Swordsman", the reporters wanted to interview them with a lot of questions, but they didn't intend to accept the interview, and strode past the media directly In front, he entered the hotel without looking back.Let the media reporters and other stars who want to increase their exposure breathe a sigh of relief.

At the banquet, Ning Cheng and the other singers chatted a few words with other singers, if they felt they could talk a little more, if they didn't want to talk, they could just find an excuse and walk away.

Because Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan met their "brother" Zhang Guorong in the film crew before, and they talked very well, so at this banquet, the two went directly to say hello to their brother.

In the past, although the two had met their elder brother a few times, but because they were not familiar with each other, and because he had a higher status than them, there were always seniors of the same level around him, such as the four heavenly kings, several queens, etc., so Ning The two of Cheng had been watching from a distance before, never getting close.

But this time it was the first time he took the initiative to say hello.After all, my elder brother really took good care of them, and Qi Ning Cheng's status has been continuously improved over the years, and they can stand straight in front of these seniors.

The elder brother was very happy with the greetings of Ning Cheng and the two of them, and he pulled them to introduce them to his friends, such as the queen Mei Yanfang, Wang Fei, Liu Tianwang, Zhang Tianwang and other senior celebrities.

"Xiao Sheng, how is the filming of your movie going? Has it finished?" Brother asked with a smile.

Ning Sheng said, "It's finished, but the post-production is estimated to be completed in April or May next year."

The elder brother smiled and said, "How about it, how much box office do you estimate in your heart for this movie? Can you break the record of your "Dragon Inn"?"

Ning Sheng smiled and said humbly, "It's probably difficult. I think it's more than 20 billion anyway, so I can make some money. Just don't lose it."

Mei Gu on the side said, "Xiao Sheng is so humble, let me tell you the number I estimated in my heart, is there 50 billion?"

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "I'm really not sure about this, but I think 30 billion should be about the same."

Ding Xuan said from the side, "If my acting skills are not scolded by the audience, Xiao Sheng's script is so wonderful, I don't think the ticket release will be too bad."

Brother smiled and said, "I think you have acted a lot. Except for those who are deliberately looking for trouble, I think ordinary audiences will like your performance. The role of Linghu Chong is really interesting. Next time Xiaosheng has such a good script, remember to think about me. ah."

Mei Gu also said with a smile, "Ah Rong likes the character so much, so you must watch it carefully. When your movie is released, I will definitely go to support you." Said, Ning Cheng on the first floor of Mei Gu joked with a smile on his shoulder "You guys are what Ah Rong likes, and that's what my Aunt Mei likes. From now on, we'll all be friends. If you have a good role, don't forget that we can be friends! Hahaha——"

Ning Cheng repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, if there is a chance to cooperate with Meigu and Rongge, I will definitely come to invite them personally."

Meigu patted Ning Cheng on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You are on the right track, let's have a toast!"

Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan smiled and toasted with these seniors. In this life, Mei Gu was diagnosed with illnesses in advance, and Huaxia’s medical level was at the top of the world, so she was lucky to be completely cured. Mei Gu started a new life even more. Cheerful, he has always been a very good person with his brother in doing things, so even though there are few works in the past few years since his comeback, he is still one of the best big names in the circle, and a senior superstar respected by everyone.

"Xiao Sheng, do you have any plans for the new year?" Liu Tianwang chatted casually.

Ning Sheng said, "Release a Mandarin album in the new year, and then make up three solo albums, and then get the status of the king of the music world. After that, if there is time and more, then the second album of "Swordsman" It's all done."

"Is there a second part of "Swordsman"?" My brother said if he had realized something, "I said that many characters and plots in the script have not been fully explained, so is there a third part? The background of the supporting characters and the relationship between the characters are arranged so meticulously, the story of the whole world should be very big, right?"

Ning Sheng said, "That's right, I actually adapted the story of this movie from the novel, but there are only two movies. When the movie is finished, I will publish the novel and let people make it into a TV series."

Brother nodded and said, "So that's it. Have you finished writing your novel? Can you let me read it first? I'm really interested in your story of "Swordsman". The martial arts in the story can also be regarded as Is it our life? No matter who wants to really be the Swordsman, it is really difficult!"

Ning Sheng said, "I haven't finished writing the novel yet, I only finished writing the scripts of the two movies. Next year, the people in the studio will help to finish the novel as soon as possible. When it's finished, I'll mail a copy to my brother right away. "

"There are us, Xiao Sheng, whoever sees it has a share!" Aunt Mei and the others beside him also laughed and participated. "We also want to read stories that can make my brother so interested."

Ning Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, each of the seniors has a book, I will never forget it."

Afterwards, everyone talked about music again, and the girl groups that have developed a lot in recent years.

"Korean girl groups are now popular all over Asia, and even have a lot of fans in Europe and the United States. It is said that next year, South Korea's SM company will bring the entire company's artist group to the United States for a concert. Our Chinese girl group is not as good. Just like the previous boy groups, they are always inferior, do you think we are really not suitable to be a team?" Senior Tan Yongle, known as the "principal", is a singer of the same generation as his brother, and now because he opened an entertainment company , Also set up the Conservatory of Music, so it is called the principal.

Principal Tan's school has many good-looking men and women. Originally, it was the most convenient and best way to make a debut in a group. However, in the previous attempts, the results were not satisfactory, so I couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Tianwang said, "Perhaps, those Korean boy groups and girl groups, in fact, apart from the so-called hip-hop movements, I think the biggest selling point is not music. Except for a few good works, most of their music is nothing. High-quality fast food music, or even accompaniment music for MVs and concerts. I think the reason why their team artists are popular is mainly because of their appearance, various personalities, and various cool An idol who makes fans like him, but it never lasts long, if we can’t learn it, then let’s not learn it.”

Wang Fei smiled lightly and said, "Brother Zhang, it's easy for you to say. Principal Tan has a school to arrange for children and his own entertainment company to operate. He wants a solution?"

Zhang Tianwang shrugged and said, "I don't understand this!"

"I think the most popular men's groups in China are not bad. They are basically maintained at the front line. Although they don't make as much money and have so much exposure as popular Korean groups, but as a successful group, they are still good. It’s okay, but girl groups are not so good, especially Korean girl groups are now generally attracting attention with sexy and seductive dances, our girl groups may not be able to learn from it!” Mei Gu commented.

Principal Tan shook his head and said, "The first-line boy groups in China are all supported by the resources of large companies. I am a new company, but I can't find a gold medal producer for each album. The production fee for each album is good. A few million, I can't afford it. As for the girl group, we really can't learn those shameless dances, otherwise, even if the group is really popular for a while, the future of these girls may be ruined, and if it happens At that time, the public opinion was too harsh, I am afraid my school will be shut down!"

There is no way, the Huaxia in this world, especially the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, has stricter requirements on girls than Ning Chen's previous life.

In the early 80s, even when some foreign female singers came to China to perform, they were restricted in what they wore, such as not showing their thighs and so on.

However, with the increasingly close exchanges in the world, some restrictions in China are gradually being lifted, and some requirements for girls are gradually being lifted. However, even now, there seems to be no taboo for foreign female artists to come to China, unless you really do something too extreme Expose things, otherwise no one will take care of them.

But for Chinese domestic artists, especially female artists, some final bottom-line questions still remain in everyone's minds. For example, some time ago, a Korean-Chinese female singer had naked sexual-suggesting movements in her performance. So she was directly commented and notified by the relevant department of the empire, and then she was banned from any performances within one year, and said that she would be banned from performing on stage for life next time!

Facing the strict order of the empire, some people support it and some oppose it, but before this regulation is abolished, no one in the empire dares to touch it anymore.

Principal Tan said that if they learn the movements of the Korean girl group, play around the corner, and use some inconspicuous movements to become popular, but once public opinion criticizes their dance, it will attract everyone's attention. Under the condemnation of the mainstream voice, these girls The future is really dangerous.

Therefore, Liu Tianwang also sighed, "There is no way. Almost [-]% of the Korean girl groups are based on that unorthodox approach. The only Girls' Generation rose suddenly at the right time, place and people. And they A lot of MVs are also starting to lean towards this approach, so it can be seen that cuteness alone can’t be mixed, unless there is very good music, otherwise the girl group is not particularly attractive, and it is more difficult than its boy group!"

"Xiaosheng, among these people, only you and Xiaoxuan are from a group, and your Chaoyang group was so popular in Asia at the beginning, and the Twelve Girls Band launched by your company has also become a world-renowned girl's band. How do you feel about this group?" Do you have any opinions on this situation?" The elder brother looked at Ning Cheng and asked.

Ning Sheng didn't mean to hide it, and said some of the experiences he had summed up from his previous life, "The model of Korean men's and women's groups is difficult to copy. It is formed by their special social environment and working conditions. Our performance method is different from their environment, and the mainstream thinking is also different. I think that if our group wants to develop, we must work hard on the music itself, such as lyrics and music. Of course, we can also absorb some Japanese and Korean stage performance styles. The few good combinations all have very good song quality, and they are all based on excellent works. Other types of combinations, such as combinations that are completely based on appearance, even if they look prosperous for a while, they will disappear in less than a year. People pay attention, there is never a shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in this circle, so in the final analysis, it is still the core of the work, and the others are useless in the end! Even Japanese and Korean groups are the same!"

This evening, Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan chatted a lot with these seniors, and Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan also learned a lot from it, and this was the only banquet they stayed until the end.

As the new year is getting closer, Ning Cheng is helping his parents prepare for the new year, while carefully planning the debut and future development of Ning Tong's three girls.

The Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on time. The whole family happily watched TV, ate snacks, and listened to Ning Tong holding the phone and talking to her two little sisters about their New Year's plans. Ning Cheng gently stretched his body, lying on the On the sofa, I fell asleep without knowing when!
