Chapter 338

A gathering of heroes in the background.

The so-called backstage is actually a large shed temporarily built by the organizer of the music festival behind the stage a few days in advance. , stools, and there are several long rows of row seats at the side for people from all walks of life who come to the opening ceremony and performance to wait and rest.

When Li Qian, Liao Liao, and Zhou Mo came to the backstage, there were already thirty or forty people gathered here, including famous singers, accompanying musicians, managers, assistants, and various invited guests. Record company executives, leaders of relevant departments, some famous or not famous independent musicians, and staff arranged by the organizer, etc., there were two to three hundred people. It was noisy, and it felt quite overcrowded.

In fact, this is not surprising at all.

Whether it is a music festival or the Golden Melody Awards, every internal gathering in the industry will definitely have a more or less communicative effect in the end.

Qi Jie is not at home, this time Minghu Culture Company is led by Sun Meimei.

When Li Qian and the others got off the stage and came backstage, Sun Meimei, Wei Lan, Zhou Mo's manager Zou Wenhuai and assistant Liu Yan were already waiting at the entrance.

Li Qian greeted Zou Wenhuai, and then went backstage.

Not to mention Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, but Li Qian alone has been in this circle for almost three years. Although basically he seldom makes friends with anyone deliberately, he still has a lot to do with this circle. intersection of .

Many familiar singers, musicians, and record company executives came over to say hello. Li Qian responded with a smile on his face, and even chatted a little bit with some of them. Seeing Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Wang Huaiyu, he walked over, greeted them, bumped fists, and gave Wang Huaiyu a wink, Wang Huaiyu smiled and nodded at him.

Everyone has their own friends, both old friends and new friends. When they met at this time, they gathered together without knowing it, stood together and chatted together-in a sense, the circle of pop music is really small. . In particular, the circle gets narrower the further you go up.

Like Zhou Ye, even though he was the youngest in front of everyone, he still followed Liao Liao closely. After a while, he joined the circle of Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu. Although he only interrupted occasionally, he suddenly felt that he was out of line Raised more than one level.

As for Zhou Mo, Huang Yuqing, and Zhao Xinfu, they are basically a circle. They both focus on urban love songs and folk songs, and they all stayed together at Cinda Records, so naturally they have a common language.

Zhen Zhen is also here today, which is very rare.

After chatting with Cao Zhan and the others, Li Qian saw her and ran over to say hello and hello.

It should be said that before the personal contact, the impression left by Zhen Zhen on most of the fans, including Li Qian, was exceptionally tall. For example, in Li Qian's opinion, apart from being inferior to Liao Liao in appearance, this eldest sister has to surpass Liao Liao by a lot in terms of courage and aura. There is no way for this, who will let her be a pioneer and a pioneer? Woolen cloth! People are of course entitled to enjoy the pilgrimage of latecomers.

But after getting in touch with her in person, saying hello and chatting a few words, Li Qian immediately felt that this eldest sister was not as bold as he imagined. In fact, if it's just for chatting, she is more like a big sister. She treats people kindly and speaks slowly, giving people an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Together with her husband, we chatted for a few words, and she took advantage of the opportunity to invite Li Qian to sing, and Li Qian agreed without hesitation.

Then, Xie Mingyuan beckoned him to pass.

Without exception, Mr. Xie Jinshun also came today.

The old man is the originator, founder and pioneer of the domestic pop music scene, and he is still the honorary chairman of the China Musicians Association, the honorary chairman of the China Recording Association and the chief art consultant of China TV.

Virtuous and respected, Taishan Beidou.

Li Qian has been in Beijing for nearly two years, but this is the first time he has seen him. Facing this old man, he was very respectful.

Standing with Xie's father and son, of course there are no ordinary people.

Zhao Yigu, Director of the Variety Department of Huaxia TV Station, Guan Liang, Deputy Director of Shuntianfu TV Station, Zhou Qi, Vice Chairman of Huaxia Musicians Association and Dean of Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and a director of the Ministry of Culture, surnamed Zhao, named Zhao Sicun.

Li Qian's age was undoubtedly the youngest.

He and Xie Mingyuan have known each other for a long time, and he has some friendship with Zhao Yigu. The two of them call him little brother, so except for the old man Xie Jinshun who is over seventy, of course the others have no choice but to call him little brother too.

Before Li Qian came over, everyone was discussing Indonesia's resistance to the import of Chinese culture. Director Zhao quietly revealed that there will be a person of sufficient weight to visit Southeast Asia in the near future, and we will have to talk about it then.

In fact, as long as the ruler is not extremely stupid, he will strongly support such things as exporting his own culture to the outside world. After Li Qian came, Director Zhao said straight to the point that he hoped that Xie Mingyuan and Li Qian would follow him when he went out to visit. And also directly revealed: This is the meaning of the above.

Xie Mingyuan is in charge of Sony Records, and he has always been the leader of the domestic pop music scene. Li Qian has risen in the past two years, and Minghu Culture, which he founded with one hand, has gradually become one of the largest companies in the domestic pop music scene. A famous singer with a good reputation inside and outside.

When it comes to cultural output, of course both of them have a great say in the record culture. The government wants to put pressure on several Southeast Asian countries through visits, and bring them along with them, which is naturally the meaning of the title.

But Li Qian was a little hesitant when he heard the words, because no matter in his previous life or this life, he would always subconsciously be a little cautious when dealing with the government.

He can make music, movies, and TV series, and try his best to promote and export Chinese culture, but in the end, he is just an artist, and he doesn't want to be a mercenary of the government.

But the other party is the director of the Ministry of Culture after all, and he is in charge of film and television, music, and art. At the national level, if you refuse, it doesn't seem to be very good.

So, he turned to look at Xie Mingyuan.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyuan chuckled, and said to Zhao Sicun: "Well, Li Qian hesitated too, right? Let me just say, those of us who are engaged in art don't really like to follow your official form. What we need to do is Doing things well, these official things are really not what we are good at, just keep up with your head and don't embarrass us!"

Zhao Sicun chuckled and promised to report it to the higher authorities, so he let the matter go.

At this time, Zhou Qi, the dean of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, looked at Li Qian, and suddenly asked, "I just heard a few days ago that you have worshiped Mr. Cheng Yunshan as your teacher?"

Li Qian nodded yes.

Zhou Qi stroked her hair and said, "Actually, when I finished listening to the album "The Sound of the Waves Is Still", I said, I should invite you to our college, even if you take an elective course first. Later Huaiyu They also recommended it, and we have been thinking about it in our courtyard. I even personally asked Senior Sister Lu, who is your wife, and she also strongly recommended it. She even said the words "do not avoid relatives in internal promotion", which is very respectful to you. Yes! How about it, do you want to think about it and take the students there?"

Li Qian quickly smiled and waved his hands, "Mr. Zhou, don't scare me, I am still a student myself!"

Zhou Qi waved her hand nonchalantly, "I've heard people mention that students from the film school came to our school to be professors. Does it feel a bit wrong? I said that's nonsense! What's wrong with studying in the film school? Can that cover up his achievements in music? There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher! Don't listen to some people's nonsense, at least I, and our hospital, are welcome to you! When you want to come, Just give me a call, or tell Huaiyu that you can be a visiting professor first!"

Hearing this, Li Qian had no choice but to agree with a smile, saying that he would think about it later.

Mr. Xie Jinshun interjected with a smile at this time, and said to Li Qian: "Go! This is not about adding any honor to yourself, whether we do music, movies, or literature, or art. Yes, everything needs to be like this. If you have this ability, you must pass on your comprehension and insights to the next generation, and learn from them! Only in this way can a good inheritance be formed, and our domestic culture can become better and better. good!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Sicun and said, "Tell me, this matter is as important as your Ministry of Culture's promotion of Chinese culture to the outside world. One is internal excavation, internal cultivation, through generations. Cultural people, inherit, inherit, develop, do their own things well, and then, we must work hard to promote our culture through various methods! Now your government is advocating and propagating the thinking of a big country. I think it looks like this It is the thinking of a big country with both internal and external cultivation!"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

But at this time, Li Qian smiled and said: "Old man, I am willing to teach something, and I am also willing, but I am still the 'next generation', I am not like you, I can't control the situation !"

Xie Jinshun chuckled, waved his hands and said, "You can control it! You can control it! What you make is top-notch in our country! How many people are your fans, if you can't control it, who can control it ?”

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

…………

People flock together and things form groups.

This statement has never been just a so-called "philosophy", it is truly reflected in all aspects of people's lives.

In the backstage at this moment, there are two to three hundred people gathered in large and small circles, as few as two or three people, as large as a dozen people, gathering together to chat, everyone's state is naturally relatively loose, and, a certain To a certain extent, these so-called circles are always in flux-many people chat here for a few words, and then run over there.

However, when Xie Jinshun, Zhou Qi, Zhao Sicun, Zhao Yigu, Guan Liang, Xie Mingyuan and others stood together, no one approached within a few meters. Even people who are close to each other deliberately suppress their voices when they speak.

The famous singers such as Zhen Zhen, Zhou Mo, Liao Liao, Zhao Xinfu, etc. know, have friendship with, and can talk to one or two people in this circle. Come over to say hello and say hello, but after chatting for a few words, he quickly disappears with a sense of interest. And the juniors who don't have enough coffee, or have less qualifications, even if you are already popular enough, you don't even have the qualifications to come and ask for a good one—such as Huang Yuqing, such as Li Xinru.

To put it simply, if the domestic music and pop music circles are compared to a pyramid, then this small circle of only six or seven people is the spire of the pyramid.

Everyone who is qualified to participate in this circle is a big shot at the top.

Liao Liao is the top among singers, and Zhou Mo is also a student of the old man Xie Jinshun. It is said that they are already qualified to stand in this circle, but when they stand in this circle, they will find a place where they can intervene There were not many, so it was uncomfortable to stay there. After greeting the old man, he withdrew after a few words.

But when Li Qian came, he integrated into this circle very easily and freely.

And the strange thing is, don't look at him as too young, but even if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, he is so young, standing among a group of old men and leaders, he doesn't feel at all disobedient.

Even, in many people's hearts, they will feel: He stands there, worthy of the name!

However, listening to Li Qian chatting happily with Xie Jinshun and others over there, and even bursts of laughter came from time to time, among so many people in the background, how many people would feel a kind of envy in their hearts? The feeling of jealousy and hatred is unknown.

…………

At 9:20, the opening ceremony of the Changping Music Festival will begin soon.

Wang Xiaodao came back from the front, went to the backstage to take a look, and then went straight to this direction. But there were still a dozen steps away, and when he saw Li Qian's side face from a distance, he froze for a moment, but stopped suddenly.

There were a lot of people in the backstage, and it was very noisy, so even though it was only a dozen steps away, he still couldn't quite hear what was being said there, but he could clearly see Director Zhao Yigu, his immediate boss, was putting his arm on Li Qian's shoulder intimately, and he didn't know what he was talking about. In short, they all burst into laughter soon.

After walking a few more steps and getting closer, he began to hear that Director Zhao Yigu was saying, "My brother is a good drinker, but you have to pry him slowly and soak him bit by bit before he dares to open his mouth." I drank it. At that time, the three of us, Lao Feng and Feng Ge from the TV drama production center, plus Qian, drank it from noon to night, and he drank it. We both got drunk, and he's fine!"

Wang Xiaodao's eyes widened suddenly and he stopped.

The eyebrows twitched a few times, and the brain's center was spinning.

He paused on the spot for a few seconds, then he stepped forward again, leaned over, and said respectfully: "Mr. Get ready."

Everyone who was laughing and talking stopped when they heard the words, and nodded.

Zhao Yigu also quickly withdrew his arm, his face became serious again, and his leadership momentum returned to full. He nodded lightly and said: "Understood, we will go there immediately."

Wang Xiaodao nodded and turned his head to leave. Before leaving, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Li Qian before leaving.

Coincidentally, because of his sudden arrival, Li Qian's gaze was also on him.

The two looked at each other, Wang Xiaodao's heart tightened suddenly, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but Li Qian just smiled and nodded at him calmly.

Wang Xiaodao also smiled back at him, turned around and left.

Behind him, he heard what seemed to be Li Qian saying: "Old man, I know that you must come to the music festival every year. I specially prepared a song. Please give me some pointers. Don't leave early."

Then I heard Mr. Xie laughing, "Good! Good! So, there is a new song to listen to?"

Wang Xiaodao took a deep breath, and then sighed lightly.

As an in-depth practitioner in the entertainment industry, Li Qian is of course well-known for a long time. He has always known that Li Qian is a famous songwriter, producer, and later became the lead singer of a famous rock band. But in his heart, he has always regarded Li Qian as a person on the same level as Liao Liao and Zhou Mo.

In addition, although Li Qian is very young, he also became famous at a young age. He was directly admitted to Huaxia TV after graduating from university. In the second year, he began to host some large-scale variety shows. At the age of 25, he was already a member of the variety show department. Ranked in the top three hosts, well-known in the country - both became famous at a young age, of course he doesn't think that he, a famous host, is much lower than Li Qian's level.

However, the scene he saw with his own eyes just now made him know clearly: it was not.

Nowadays, at least for Li Qian, the identity of a songwriter, producer, lead singer of a rock band, or owner of a record company is no longer enough to represent his true status.

In the circle, everyone talks about coffee position, so what is coffee position?

Records sell a lot, songs have a good reputation, have a great influence among fans, or are original in style, even if the songs are not sold well enough, but many executives are willing to praise them... These are all celebrities.

However, it is no longer appropriate to use those things to measure the current Li Qian.

When he stood with Mr. Xie Jinshun Xie, Dean Zhou Qizhou, Director Zhao Sicun, Director Zhao Yigu, Director Guan Liang, and Xie Mingyuan and others, and they were still chatting and laughing freely...

This is his place.

…………

After thanking the old man, several leaders finished their speeches in turn, and the Changping Music Festival officially announced the start.

Wang Xiaodao said passionately: "There is such a band, they suddenly released an album when rock music has gradually declined, and from the first note, they ignited every drop of blood in our bodies! "

"His captain is one of the best bass players in the country and a well-known songwriter in the industry, and the famous film screenwriter, Cao Zhan, his rhythm guitar, is a famous director in China, and Yu Bojun, his drummer, is Liao Liao, the most famous super diva and national diva in China, his keyboard player is the top sheng player, suona player, pianist and violin player in China, and he is also a professor of Huaxia Conservatory of Music and the chief of Huaxia National Orchestra Sheng performer, Wang Huaiyu, and his lead singer is the most famous songwriter and producer in the industry, Li Qian!"

"It is these five people, it is they, in such an era of rock and roll decline, they carry the banner of rock and roll and bring us the most top-level music enjoyment! Now, let us shout out their names together, they are……"

"Four beauties!"

"welcome!"

…………

In the waiting area, listening to Wang Xiaodao's passionate introduction and the tsunami-like shouts of the audience, Li Qian turned his head with a smile, listened to him, and asked Liao Liao, "What are you doing?"

Liao Liao shook his head, "What are you doing?"

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he seemed to realize something.

But immediately, he shook his head slightly, and whispered: "This man is too smart!"

Liao Liao shrugged, "I like smart people!"
