Music Variety Show Plan

"It's always better to find out something yourself than to be found out by others."

This sentence was said by Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan is very satisfied with the crew's response speed this time.

Some things may seem like a trivial matter to you, but they can also be like a butterfly flapping its wings, and eventually turn into a tornado on the other side of the ocean.

When it comes to matters involving Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan always adheres to the principle of "nothing is trivial".

After knowing that Lu Yanhe was touched by this incident, Chen Ziyan just laughed.

"Reflection is a good thing, but I'm not surprised that you did that before." Chen Ziyan said, "That was your first time as a director, and you felt guilty. Your whole state was that as long as the film could be filmed, , a lot of things, one thing is worse than one thing less. If you really don’t mind, I don’t believe it.”

Lu Yanhe: "Actually, apart from this reason, I had another idea at the time."

"What's the idea?"

"I feel that people are saying it behind my back, but I just heard it. Who wouldn't say a few bad words behind other people's back? And, the most important thing is, I understand their resentment. I work hard every day, but I can only earn a small salary, but I enjoy the best treatment in the crew, and my income is countless times higher than theirs.”

"You just feel a little guilty. I've discovered it a long time ago. You always feel that you deserve everything you get." Chen Ziyan said, "Of course, you are indeed in an industry that enjoys social dividends, but This is not something you steal. This industry exists here. If you don’t make this money, others will. Those industries and positions with low incomes are not caused by the existence of this industry and you. The income is low. You must change your mentality.”

Chen Ziyan’s words are always to the point.

She knew very well the crux behind Lu Yanhe's various thoughts.

"At first, I thought you were a bit of a saint and too tolerant of others. But later I realized that it was not the case. You said that you were at peace with everything you did. You felt at ease with yourself. No matter how cruel your behavior seemed to others, you did not You can do things that you don't feel comfortable with, even if everyone scolds you Holy Mother, you are also struggling." Chen Ziyan said, "You are a person who thinks a lot, which is a good thing. Of course, in fact, it is difficult for us to understand and empathize with your situation and situation, but this time You can reflect on your previous behavior, which makes me a little worried."

"What are you worried about? I thought you were going to praise me for my progress and realize that my previous behavior was actually wrong. I shouldn't let go of those who slandered me behind my back." Lu Yanhe said.

"But your reflection itself makes me worried." Chen Ziyan said, "I would rather you be a person with a less high moral sense, or you could be a true saint who defends your moral sense from beginning to end. Okay, I will protect you, but people are most afraid of The thing is that you can't touch both sides, and you are touching both sides, and you have frequent internal friction. Do you still remember that your mental state was too tense before, which made you lose control of your facial expressions? , your mental endurance is actually not very high.”

Lu Yanhe wanted to defend himself.

He wanted to say that he hadn't had this problem for a long time.

Chen Ziyan: "It's been so long, and you can still be hit by a boomerang, which means you didn't really let go of the matter at that time and didn't care about it with them."

Lu Yanhe: "When you say that, why do I feel that my mental problem is a bit serious?"

"Then you are taking things too seriously. At least on this issue, in the final analysis, you actually feel guilty for getting so many things now." Chen Ziyan said, "So, you can't feel at ease."

Lu Yanhe felt like he had been hit hard.

So accurate.

Chen Ziyan said: "It's okay. I'm just telling you where your crux is. As for whether you can change it or not, I said you may not be able to change it now. You need to adapt to it slowly. You are still getting rich quickly. Too fast and unreliable. Look at those rich second-generation people who were born with golden keys in their hands. Do any of them feel uneasy and confused because of their good background? I believe you understand the truth. You just need time to adjust. "

Chen Ziyan suddenly asked again: "Do you sometimes feel that your personality is quite annoying?"

Lu Yanhe hummed, "How do you know?"

"Because this is not unusual." Chen Ziyan said, "How can you be a top actor without internal conflict, dilemma, and emotional relapse? I tell you so much. First, I hope to tell you that your situation is nothing. , it’s not a problem. Secondly, I hope I can let you know that you don’t actually need to change these, you can accept it. , you yourself are a contradictory person, a repetitive person, a person who wants everything. If one day, you become a set of principles, combine knowledge and action, become a saint, or simply abandon those morals You may become a more popular star, but you may not be able to be a top creator.”

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

She didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would end up here at this moment.

"Internal friction is nothing, but you should talk to the people around you more and don't keep it in your heart." Chen Ziyan said, "As long as you don't keep it in your heart, internal friction should be internal."

"Sister Ziyan, I thought you would persuade me to stop internal friction."

"Is this because I persuade you not to be internally conflicted, so you can do it?" Chen Ziyan said, "I know you can't do something, so why should I persuade you?"

Lu Yanhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Ziyan say this.

He actually knows his own problem.

-

"I think the luckiest thing for you as an artist is to meet an agent like Ziyan who understands you. When you are so popular and can write scripts, making money is never the first priority for working with you. One goal.”

After Chen Siqi listened to Lu Yanhe's comments on his recent "philosophy of life" on the phone, he accurately summarized the most practical parts of these comments that needed to be refined.

"Sometimes, like her, I worry that like many outstanding artists, you will become more detached from the world and fall into your own mental state as you get further behind." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "Although everything seems normal to you now "

Lu Yanhe couldn't believe it.

"Isn't it?"

Lu Yanhe never thought that he was a potential "mental patient" in the hearts of Chen Ziyan and Chen Siqi?

Chen Siqi: "Think about it, Yan He, how much have you done in the past few years? You have acted, written songs, and written scripts. What you have produced in the past five years may be more than what five people have produced in a lifetime." More. We all know that when creators are at their peak, There is no way to treat it as ordinary people, but we must also pay attention to your mental condition. Sister Ziyan has been working hard to let you be more in a state other than creation. I am the same, we are all afraid of you. I was immersed in it and finally became more and more unable to extricate myself. ”

Lu Yanhe was really dumbfounded.

He knows that sometimes he will devote himself 100% to the creation of a work because of time constraints or when the feeling comes. For example, I wrote "Longmen Inn" that night.

However, he is not a normal creator. Those stories are not his works, he just transported them.

However, he couldn't explain this to others.

In the eyes of others, he is a genius.

A perpetual motion machine that keeps churning out great scripts.

And this, in the eyes of those who care about him, becomes a hidden danger that cannot help but worry about him.

Lu Yanhe said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't come to that point."

-

There are drama addicts in acting, and there are even actors who can't get out of a role half a year after finishing it.

Lu Yanhe is not this type of actor.

He does sometimes fall into a certain role, but usually two or three days after the filming is completed, it will be fine, and it can only be a week at most.

The same goes for creation.

Lu Yanhe dare not say that he has never experienced the feeling of being in a deserted place. It is true that he has, but he often only tastes it.

He himself will realize that he cannot stay in that state for long.

Lu Yanhe didn't think he would really have problems in this area because he knew that he was actually not that "genius". He was just an ordinary person with ordinary problems. To say that because he can create different types of stories and different characters, he has the potential to be sophisticated...

Even if everyone thought so, he knew very well that it was not the case.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that a small matter that was just a discussion about whether he had too high demands on himself and was a bit internal would eventually make him suddenly realize that the people around him still had such hidden concerns about him.

-

The day "Legend of Sword and Fairy" finished filming.

Luo Yuzhong patted him on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job this time. Compared with the time in "Golden Age", it's much better. You are already a mature actor."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Thank you, teacher."

This time filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", overall, there was no challenge for him. He prepared in a down-to-earth manner and acted conscientiously. In addition, the crew was very good in all aspects. Luo Yuzhong and he were very satisfied with the overall effect.

Of course Lu Yanhe no longer needs to rely on this drama to fuel his career.

However, Lu Yanhe is still very satisfied with being able to complete a role well.

This sense of accomplishment in completing a role is a feeling that truly belongs to him and is unique to him.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both have to continue filming on the crew.

Yan Liang will not finish filming until mid-to-late November, while Li Zhibai will finish filming later, until December.

Filming a TV series, especially a long-running TV series like this, is very time-consuming.

After Lu Yanhe finished filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he took two days off and went back to participate in the recording of the last stage of the season of "Young Days".

He could still catch up, but Li Zhibai and Yan Liang couldn't.

Originally, Lu Yanhe wanted to say that he might as well not participate in this season.

But Li Zhenzhen contacted him many times and kept telling him that if he could return in the last few episodes, it would definitely be a surprise for fans of this show.

Furthermore, Lu Yanhe hadn't met Liu Zhiyin and the others for a long time.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe finally decided to go.

By the way, we talked about the collaboration between Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin on two OSTs.

-

Just look at Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin to see how declining the music industry is now.

The two of them already belong to the younger generation of musicians, and their image, fame and talent are among the best.

However, because the overall influence of the industry is decreasing, the status of the two of them in the circle has always remained in a tepid position.

After several years of debut, everyone's impression of them is still that of a singer who has just debuted. Of course, this also involves deeper reasons.

Qin Zhibai is relatively better.

He is a rich second-generation, and the main reason for coming to the entertainment industry to be a singer is that he loves singing and music.

But Song Linxin's family is not as rich and well-connected as Qin Zhibai.

She really has to make a living from this job.

Of course, she can't say that she can't make a living now.

It's just that Song Linxin often has a sense of powerlessness in the past two years. I don't know how to improve my sense of powerlessness. She has one or two new songs that are popular every year, and the data in all aspects are very good. However, this is of no avail. No one denies that she is a popular singer. She is invited to various activities and commercial performances.

But then what?

If an actor wants to be a movie emperor or queen, what is the dream of a singer?

Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, everyone wanted to be a king or queen.

At that time, there were people on the throne, and there was a clear path. Singers who were not popular enough and whose status was not high enough had a goal to catch up with.

However, now, the so-called kings and queens are the products of that era.

There are no kings and queens now.

Not only is there no such thing, but the music industry does not even have a professional and influential award.

TV series and movies have three major awards, and pop music... Sorry, those awards have been abandoned in some corner, and they are probably moldy.

Song Linxin is always at a loss.

I don't know what I am fighting for.

Compared with Qin Zhibai, if the commonality is that both of them have excellent musical talents and love music, then the biggest difference between them is that Qin Zhibai just loves music. He doesn't care whether music can bring him those worldly rewards, such as industry status and generous income. He doesn't rely on this. But Song Linxin cares.

So, is she short of money now? No, she is not as good as the best, but better than the worst. Does she lack fame now? Not really. Among the younger generation of singers, she is doing quite well.

However, she lacks a career goal, a goal to keep moving forward.

The road ahead is unclear, and there is no benchmark.

Of course, she can't tell her agent Zhou Meng about these things.

In Zhou Meng's view, the kings and queens are all false. The real thing is the popularity of the songs and the people. The real thing is the sincerity and money.

Maybe Song Linxin will continue to be so popular and will not be able to become a legend in the past era, but so what? Being a popular first-line star, earning eight figures every year, and bringing her generous dividends, what else do you want?

Song Linxin can only talk about her troubles with friends in private.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Yanhe came to ask her for a song.

Song Linxin sighed and said, "I really don't know if I can write it."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yanhe also saw the melancholy and trouble on Song Linxin's face.

Song Linxin: "I'm too lazy to tell you. You won't understand even if I tell you."

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"

Song Linxin and Lu Yanhe stared at each other.

"Okay, okay." Song Linxin still told Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe: "Well, your question is a bit big."

Song Linxin rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe, "I told you a long time ago, but you didn't understand even if I told you."

"Who said I don't understand? I just said the problem is big, not that I don't understand."

Song Linxin: "..."

Lu Yanhe: "Although I, like you, have always felt that the music industry is a bit unclear about how to play in the Internet age, but I don't think that people's demand for music has decreased."

Song Linxin: "That's what I said, but to be honest, look at the companies and singers who are seriously making music now, how many are there? They have all become vassals of your film and television industry."

"Who can you blame? You messed up your previous authoritative awards, either not held or become watered down. Now when people want to find some good songs to listen to, they open a few music apps and see that there have been few songs for hundreds of years. They are all those old songs. Not to mention the new song list, half of them are idol artists' hit songs, and the other half are film and television OSTs."

"Who doesn't know how to complain." Song Linxin said.

"In fact, if "Little Song Gathering" could continue, at least there would be a chance for you singer-songwriters to promote your songs, but this program is gone."

"All the music variety shows now are covers, so there is no room for original works." Song Linxin said, "Look at how many music variety shows I have participated in. I can't even sing my own songs. They are all covers."

Lu Yanhe said, "Original works have no popularity and no traffic."

Song Linxin: "Desperate, I even think I should just act. But I don't have the talent for acting."

Lu Yanhe: "What do you think of idol artists now? Compared with a few years ago."

"Of course, they are so popular. Now, in addition to the program "Idol Era", with the popularity of these idol performance stages, various activities and programs have begun to invite them, and they have taken over a large part of the music platform."

"What do you think of their music?"

“Well… I can understand why their songs are so popular, but I don’t really appreciate that kind of music.” Song Linxin said, “They are basically some strong rhythm songs, some rap, very new generation.”

“You are only in your early twenties, why are you pretending to be old?” Lu Yanhe laughed, “But, you see, the OSTs of movies and TV shows are still your old lyrical tunes, right? It can’t be said that the position of lyrical songs is gone and no one wants to listen to them.”

“But the reality is that the investment cost of making a single, according to the current market situation, is likely to make a loss. Singers like Qin Zhibai and I who have a certain number of fans and fans are better off, but most of them are not famous at all. In the past, record companies had stable channels to promote new singers, but now, which record company still has new singers? "

Lu Yanhe said: "The essence is that there is still a lack of a market recognized by the industry and the market, so no one is willing to take risks. "

"Yes, you see me making an album, I am not exaggerating, making an album at this time, I will definitely lose money. It's just that as a singer, I have an obsession, and I must release an album to be a real singer. "Song Linxin said, "Especially for a creative singer like me, without an album that can represent my own musical aesthetics, how can I introduce myself to others? "

Lu Yanhe: "Are you interested in doing something together?"

"Ah?" Song Linxin was stunned.

"In fact, I did plan a program before, but after listening to your confusion, I was also thinking, maybe, we can change our thinking. "Lu Yanhe said.

Song Linxin looked at Lu Yanhe with some doubts.

Lu Yanhe: "Just like there is a program called "Idol Era" for idol artists, since you singers, especially creative singers, lack a stage to sing original songs, why don't you make one?"

Song Linxin: "There is no platform to do it."

"Then do it yourself." Lu Yanhe said bluntly.

Song Linxin was stunned and looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.

Lu Yanhe said: "Do you want to try it together?"

"A program like "The Birth of the Actor"?

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "But to be honest, I don't know if this program can be popular, because there is a biggest risk in making original songs. The songs may not be good and may not be able to impress the audience. There are many covers in music variety shows because those golden songs have been tested by time. As long as the singers perform well, the quality of the stage can reach a certain standard and impress the audience. For the original stage, eight or ten songs in one episode, even if two songs impress the audience, this is not enough, but can you find so many good original songs in one go?"

Lu Yanhe's words made Song Linxin confused.

"Then... if you say so, it's very risky to do this program." Song Linxin said, "Are you willing to do it?"

"Let's give it a try. The worst that can happen is failure. You don't have a successful original music program anyway. If it fails, it fails." Lu Yanhe said, "But if it succeeds, it doesn't need to be as successful as "Idol Era". Even if it can continue and not lose money, for your music industry, won't it have another channel to deliver original singers and original works?"

Song Linxin couldn't deny that her heart was stirring.

After all, it was Lu Yanhe who proposed it. If Lu Yanhe wanted to do this program, maybe there was really a possibility of success.

At this time, Li Zhenzhen suddenly appeared.

Lu Yanhe and Song Linxin found a place in the small courtyard outside and chatted quietly.

They took off all the radios on their bodies because they didn't want to be recorded in the program during this chat.

Li Zhenzhen came over, and they thought they were away from the program recording for too long, so they asked them to go back.

Who knew that Li Zhenzhen walked up to them and said, "Can I be included in the program you mentioned? Let my team do it?"

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Song Linxin: "... Sister Zhenzhen, are you eavesdropping?"

Li Zhenzhen pointed behind them speechlessly.

They looked in the direction of Li Zhenzhen's finger and found that there was a camera under the eaves over there. They didn't find it because of the night.

It's a pity that they had spent a long time looking for this place where they thought they could chat.

"..."

Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhenzhen hesitantly and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, does your team... understand music?"

Li Zhenzhen: "We can cooperate with people who know the industry, but I just heard your positioning and expectations for this program, and I want to join in. I have a hunch that this program will become a milestone program."

Song Linxin looked at Lu Yanhe.

This program was proposed by Lu Yanhe, and she would not be stupid enough to speak at this time.

Lu Yanhe smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, I can't give you an answer now. I have to call a friend first."

-

Lu Yanhe has long wanted to make a music program.

In fact, Lu Yanhe's first choice was "I Am a Singer". It brings together outdated singers to compete. The explosive point and selling point of this program are very clear.

However, Song Linxin's words suddenly reminded Lu Yanhe of the program "Sing My Song in China".

This program is equally magical. If "I Am a Singer" makes many singers popular again, then "Sing My Song" really makes many original songs become popular overnight in China.

For example, "Wukong" by Dai Quan, "Wild Child" by Su Yunying, "Rolling Pearl Curtain" by Huo Zun, and "Slow Times" by Liu Hutie, a singer who is not very famous but has a very famous song.

Of course, of course, there is also Lu Yanhe's first golden finger in this world, "Remember", which also came from this program.

Between "I Am a Singer" and "Sing My Song", after listening to what Song Linxin said, Lu Yanhe chose the latter without any hesitation.

People always want to do something meaningful to this industry.

Similarly, Lu Yanhe has always wanted to do such a program to repay the director Hou Jun of "Little Song Gathering" who gave him the opportunity.

Lu Yanhe's first choice for the director of this program is Hou Jun.

After the show "Little Song Gathering" was discontinued, Hou Jun almost became the exclusive director of the large-scale evening parties of Northern Lights Video, because the "Graduation Season" series and "Year-End Celebration" series he made received very good responses.

However, Hou Jun has always wanted to do a music variety show again.

He himself is a person with extremely high musical literacy. In the soundtrack of the movie "Love Letter", it was almost all Hou Jun who followed Lu Yanhe's requirements and found the top musicians in the industry to make the dubbing of this movie.

Lu Yanhe called Hou Jun.

-

Hou Jun was very depressed.

A music variety show plan he submitted two days ago was killed by Northern Lights Video.

The reason was that the budget was too high, but there were too many homogeneous programs on the market, and the senior management was not optimistic about the market feedback of this program.

Northern Lights also killed programs with too low budgets, but the reason was different, because it was too much of a waste of talent for Hou Jun.

Hou Jun knew very well that Northern Lights was not short of good directors for variety shows, but there were not many directors who could make evening parties and ceremonies in Northern Lights. He was the one who was caught in the crossfire. The evening parties he made were well received. Every year, the graduation season series, one evening party, could attract over 100 million yuan in investment.

Therefore, Northern Lights did not want him to be distracted, and basically all the director work for various large-scale events was given to him.

Hou Jun could not say that he was doing these jobs reluctantly and was not happy. Northern Lights was not a stingy company. His income in the past few years was much higher than that when he was doing the show "Little Song Gathering".

However, sometimes people just make enough money, and after going around in circles, they still want to do what they love.

He still wanted to make a music-related program.

A music program that could be continued.

He was drinking with his old friend in a bar outside to relieve his depression, and his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was his friend who saw it first.

His friend was a little excited and patted his shoulder.

"Lu Yanhe called you!"

I felt dizzy all day today. It might be influenza A. I have to go get tested tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
