Chapter 317 Listed
On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the dragon raises its head.
The annual Golden Melody Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.
As in previous years, there are still five joint sponsors, the Huaxia Recording Association, the Huaxia Musicians Association, the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, the Huaxia TV Station, and the Voice of China Radio Station. However, unlike previous years, the awards ceremony will be broadcast live from this year onwards. .
It is even said that the initial planning of the ceremony included many celebrities walking the red carpet, but because it was the first year of live broadcast, the organizers, mainly the Variety Department of Huaxia TV, did not dare to make it too big for fear of causing trouble, so this year it is temporarily I didn't walk the red carpet, and I plan to join this session next year or the year after.
Minghu Culture Company got a total of ten admission tickets. Among the many record companies in China, it must not be many, but the people who appeared on the stage seemed to be very important.
Li Qian, Qi Jie, Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei, and Liu Mei are the management and behind-the-scenes producers representing Minghu Culture. Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Rose Power's Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan, and Wang Jingxue are the singers representing the company.
Among them, only Li Qian, Liao Liao and He Runqing will appear as award presenters.
A gold medal producer, two queens, plus a rose power group that has not yet released an album, but it is not to be underestimated-this kind of cast, among all record companies, is definitely the top few one of them.
Other than that, Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu, as in previous years, attended alone as songwriters and musicians association members respectively. And although Yu Bojun now plays in a band and is considered a part of the music circle, his main business is movies after all, and playing in a band can only be regarded as a ticket, so the Golden Melody Awards did not specially give him an invitation letter, and he didn't bother to take care of it.
The live broadcast of the ceremony should be considered a success.
Of course, the current situation in China is like this. Even if it’s a live broadcast, whether it’s the award presenters or the winners giving their speeches, even if there is no prior communication, everyone agrees to sing praises from the beginning to the end, even a little too much joke It's not easy to say much - in short, he is kind and flat.
As the most popular singer in China today, Liao Liao was first responsible for presenting the award for the best new male singer of the year. Coincidentally, this award was awarded to Zhou Ye, and then she gave the irrefutable award with "Grateful Heart" Word-of-mouth and sales are both booming, and it won the best album of the year of "Grateful Heart" in one breath, and the first place in the top ten golden songs of the year for the single "Grateful Heart".
Of course, for the former, the award recipient is the producer Li Qian, while the latter is herself.
And He Runqing, who successfully completed the transformation in the past year, after awarding the best album of the year award to Li Qian, also won the third title in her career after a lapse of six years. Best Female Singer of the Year Award. In addition, the single "Dream Chaser" also undisputedly entered the top ten golden songs of the year and became the third place.
As for Li Qian, he is in charge of presenting the award for the best female singer of the year, and what made the audience burst into laughter is that there are four candidates for the best female singer of the year for this year's Golden Melody Awards, except for Li Xinru It can be regarded as having nothing to do with him, Liao Liao and Zhou Mo are his women, and He Runqing is also his signed artist.
Therefore, on the TV director screen at that time, Li Qian's expression was quite wonderful.
Fortunately, the final result did not embarrass him too much. Awarding the award to He Runqing, for the organizer of the Golden Melody Awards, is certainly affirming He Runqing's successful transformation this time, but for Li Qian, this result is to help him, the award presenter, resolve a very possible situation. There will be family conflicts.
So, when the four candidates appeared on the big screen and introduced one by one, the audience burst into laughter in tacit understanding, and when the awards were finally decided, the audience burst into laughter again in tacit understanding.
The Best Male Singer of the Year was voted down by Zhao Xinfu again, and this time, he was crowned king for the second time. Among the male singers, he is currently second only to Liu Mingliang's four crowns, and Flying Band's three win the championship. In addition, He Runqing, who was sealed three times, also surpassed him. And Zhen Zhen and Liao Liao, both of whom had been crowned empresses twice, were on the same level as him.
Congratulations to the winners, those who failed to win the award, facing the live broadcast camera, could only squeeze out a smiling face to show their freedom.
Li Xinru lost the Best Female Singer again this year, and she was quite disappointed. Even though Li Qian and the others were seated a long way away, they could still notice that her manager was constantly comforting her.
Compared with her, although Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan may be more disappointed, after all, starting from this year, the Golden Melody Awards began to set up the Best Group of the Year Award, and the first winner in history was Wu Xing Wu Su . So, the three of them could only sit on their seats eagerly, watching Zhou Pingping, who is now the captain of Wuxingwusu, take the stage to accept the award.
But after all, they all know in their hearts that their future is very bright. Even if they don't get it this time, they are very hopeful to get this award next time.
So, of course there is loss, but they have attended the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony for the third time, and they did not show any gaffe in front of the camera.
When the awards ceremony ended, they won the first, third, fourth and sixth places of the best female singer of the year, the best album of the year, and the top ten golden songs of the year, and Li Qian won the best lyrics of the year in one breath After the best composer of the year, compared to last year's almost empty-handed return, this time, Minghu Culture can be said to have returned with a full load.
But Li Qian knew that if he only wanted to talk about winning the prize, this was just the beginning.
This year, as Liao Liao and He Runqing's status in the arena has been completely stabilized, and as new groups and new singers continue to exert their strength, next year's Golden Melody Awards Ceremony will be the time when Minghu Culture will really kill the Quartet.
You know, the massive classic works from another time and space in his hands are just opening a hole, and there are still many good works to come!
... ... ...
Three days after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, Li Qian received a call from Zhao Yigu. According to him, the feedback received from this live broadcast, whether it is the audience's evaluation or the most intuitive ratings, is quite excellent.
So... everyone rejoices.
... ... ...
Before the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Liao Liao's new album "Women's Flower" has completed the recording in the studio stage, and officially entered the post-production stage, and what followed was the song practice of He Runqing's new album "The Price of Love" and recording.
As the first album after a successful transformation, there is no doubt that for He Runqing, the importance of this album cannot be overemphasized-she in this period needs an album that continues her style and completely stabilizes herself. Great album in style.
Therefore, Li Qian, who is well aware of her current state, has been extremely attentive since the song selection stage. Although there is a strong library of golden songs in her hand, those that are suitable for her current new style, that are suitable for her to sing, and that are relatively sure to be loved and accepted by her current fans after singing, are not So good choice.
In the end, after repeated struggles, the works Li Qian selected for her new album "The Price of Love" are: "A Good Man's Life Is Safe", "Follow Your Feelings", "Dear Child", "The Price of Love" , "Where Does the Wind Come From", "A Thousand Words", "Just Like Your Tenderness", "Water Town in Dreams", "Proverbs of Love" and "Don't Pick Wild Flowers by the Roadside".
Among these ten works, "The Price of Love" is a generation of golden songs, and its fineness is naturally unquestionable. As the first hit of the album, there will be no problem with its warmth and timelessness, and its popularity. He Runqing It is also extremely safe to control it with a unique voice and singing skills. As the second title of the album, "Water Town in Dreams" is a Chinese-style song that Li Qian has listened to since he was a child, and he also likes it very much. There is no need to doubt its classic level. Not to mention that He Runqing's singing skills are many levels higher than the original singer of this song.
Then, "Where Does the Wind Come From", "Proverbs of Love" and "A Thousand Words" are all representative songs of the sweet song queen Teresa Teng, but like Cai Qin's version of "Just Like Your Tenderness", Li Qian is going to help He Runqing deal with it. Into the direction of the "classic female voice". There is only one song "Don't Pick the Wild Flowers by the Road", Li Qian still intends to treat it as a sweet song route.
It can be said that for He Runqing, the way of these songs is not only to review the previous sweet song line, and strive to attract the old fans before, but also to stabilize the current new style.
Li Qian firmly believed that this way would also have no problems.
Then, "A Good Man's Life Is Safe" as a classic folk song, has been popular in another time and space for several years. Coupled with its good meaning and full of positive energy, although it is a slow song, it Folk songs in China, especially good folk songs, will never lack a market and fans. Therefore, Li Qian believes that in this time and space, this song can also become popular, and even become a radio station in the next few years. On-demand hits, and in the future, like what it once did in that time and space, it will become a classic memory of an era.
So far, these eight songs, in Li Qian's opinion, are not only powerful, but also quite stable, which should be enough to help He Runqing hold up her achievements. At least, it is not a big problem to stabilize her current style and status in the world. .
But in the end, he still took out two songs to support her entire album.
"Follow Your Feeling" is an absolute classic golden song, the representative work of a generation of queen Su Rui, and her other song "Dear Child", as a heart-warming divine song, has been sung by countless singers until 20 or 30 years later. It can be seen that the quality of its classics is sufficient - such two diva-level works, in Li Qian's opinion, are enough to successfully support the quality of the entire album, and help the album continue to increase the total sales in the later stage.
In fact, Li Qian had already handed over such a playlist to He Runqing in mid-February. After He Runqing read it one by one, she was extremely satisfied.
So, while helping Liao Liao to produce her new album "Women's Flower" together with Li Qian, she has already started practicing songs. When "Women's Flower" is completely recorded, she will start post-production. Her new album will be recorded Then start.
But this time, Liao Liao, in turn, became one of the producers of her album together with Li Qian.
However, in the middle of song practice, she found Li Qian on purpose, and said that in comparison, she personally prefers the style of "Follow Your Feeling", so she likes to change the title of the album from the relatively warmer "The Price of Love" , changed to the more casual and free-spirited "Follow the Feeling".
Li Qian could understand what she meant, and knew that she was still a little worried, and still wanted to work hard towards the direction of catharsis and freedom in the current domestic music scene, and was still very afraid that she would be left behind by the times. Although in Li Qian's opinion, using "The Price of Love" as the album title would be more meaningful and classic, but since she put forward an idea, Li Qian no longer insisted on it. After all, "Follow the Feeling" as the album title and the first There is nothing wrong with a main attack.
In the final analysis, there is no difference in the grade and classic degree of these two songs, only a slight difference in style.
So subsequently, the album was renamed "Follow the Feeling", and this song was added as the third title song. However, the previous two title songs "The Price of Love" and "Water Town in Dreams" have not been adjusted at all, and they are still the first and second title songs.
In early March, "Follow Your Feeling" began to enter the recording stage.
After experiencing so many album recordings, the current Li Qian has accumulated quite a lot of experience in album production, making it more and more smooth. Coupled with He Runqing's 12-year career as a professional singer, he has recorded more than a dozen albums successively. His singing skills, state of the art, and even his rich experience are definitely among the best in today's domestic music scene.
Therefore, after more than a year of various cooperation between the two, although the degree of tacit understanding may be slightly inferior to the combination of Li Qian and Liao Liao, they are already in a state of smooth operation.
In addition, there was Liao Liao helping the staff, this album was recorded with high efficiency and fast speed, and the standard was maintained at a very high level from the beginning.
Of course, the three of them are busy making an album here, except that Li Qian still needs to go back to school and take time to learn drama every week, it is almost a kind of total devotion that keeps the ears off the window , but with the arrival of March, the focus of the entire Minghu Culture Company's work has begun to shift to the distribution business.
Facing the company's first album of the year, especially the first album with its own boss as the home stage, the entire Minghu Culture Company, from the general manager Qi Jie down to the most ordinary employees, put in all their strength and effort. shot!
Although the big names of the Four Great Beauties unanimously decided not to do any publicity, it is obviously impossible for the company to let this album go on the market so quietly.
After all, as the first shot of the year, the entire company has high hopes for the boss's album!
As a result, as early as the end of February, the company's entire set of publicity plans had been fully rolled out—although these publicity methods, because of the lack of the participation of the four beauties themselves, no matter how hard they tried, there was nowhere to use them. The only thing is to ask someone to write some soft articles, do publicity or something. The other is to edit the performance clips of the four beauties bands at He Runqing's concert into a single MV, and send them to major TV stations for repeated playback.
In Qi Jie's view, the effect will be different with or without publicity.
Although the Four Great Beauty Bands and their "No Place to Shame" and "Nothing" had already opened their way through pirated tapes before, in fact they had already been sold and popular all over the country.
But because of this, the market for those two songs is almost saturated.
This time the new album is released, in addition to promoting rock feelings and arousing the love of rock in the hearts of countless rock fans in China, it is also working hard to promote it so that those who have already bought pirated copies will buy genuine ones.
Of course, the most important thing is to praise other songs in the new album.
Under such circumstances, shortly after the end of the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, on Tuesday, March 14, the first album "Fake Monk" of the Four Beauties was officially released nationwide.
It's just different from Liao Liao, He Runqing and others who run around with great fanfare every time a new album is released, the release of the album "Dream Chaser" hardly caused any disturbance.
Especially in the relatively low season of record sales in mid-March, although this album has attracted the attention of the entire pop music industry since its release, for the vast majority of fans, it is completely useless. voice to describe.
However, for some interested people, after listening to such masterpieces as "Nothing" and "No Place to Shame", it seems that there is no need for any publicity, because they are always staring at any news related to this album .
At least, on the day the album was released, almost every record company in the country, almost all singers, almost all professional musicians, arrangers, and songwriters chose to buy the album in the first place.
Because everyone is extremely curious and eager to hear, after "Nothing" and "Landless", what kind of works will the four beauties, or Li Qian, a great talent, come up with!
What kind of work is it that makes them feel so relieved about this album, even when two popular works such as "Nothing" and "No Place to Shame" have been completely occupied by pirated copies of the market, they still feel at ease They are included in it, and even an album with only eight "new songs" dares not to do the slightest marketing promotion!
Can their new works really give them such confidence?
