Recapture the Entertainment Industry

Luo Ding didn't know that a watch on his wrist had caused such a commotion, and he was taken to his seat, the third row, by the crowd.Not very far ahead.

Pan Yiming was sitting in front of him on the right, that is, the second row from the bottom, and the first row was full of sponsors of the show, heads of big brands, and heavyweights from various entertainment companies.As the owner of Yaxing Studio, Gu Yaxing was present as Luo Ding's agent, but after evaluating the value of Yaxing Studio and Gu Yaxing itself, the organizer still reserved a seat for him in the first row.

The success of an enterprise often depends on these small opportunities.Luo Ding's popularity is like a boulder thrown into a pool of stagnant water, setting off huge waves. The twilight of Yaxing Studio has long since come to an end. Only a few months after Luo Ding went abroad to film, Gu Yaxing borrowed Luo Ding With his certain influence, he signed a large number of newcomers with great potential, and also won many commercial activities for other artists under his banner that Luo Ding didn't like.Gu Yaxing seized the tail of this fleeting opportunity, and he succeeded.

In the circle of businessmen, there is no artist who pays so much attention.

Qualifications, popularity... all stand aside.When the assets come up, these things will fly to you consciously with wings.

Sitting next to Gu Yaxing was the boss of a small brokerage company, who was once dubbed a "gold broker" when he was young.The other party was very good at communication and dealing with things. After recognizing the person sitting beside him as Gu Yaxing, he immediately exchanged greetings with him, revealing special respect for Gu Yaxing in his words of conversation.

Gu Yaxing is not a lonely person. He was treated coldly by others when the company was on the verge of crisis.He was also highly sought after by people, and that is now after Luo Ding became popular.He has experienced all the ups and downs in life, and his mind is mature enough that he will not be easily shaken by a small change in the outside world.The two parties chatted happily, and soon called each other brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, they were about to discuss work, but suddenly another guest who didn't know each other interrupted their communication.

Jiang Changfeng frowned and observed the two enthusiastic people from a distance for a long time, but he still couldn't understand why Gu Yaxing was so gentle and polite to this old manager who couldn't be named.In fact, he hasn't seen Gu Yaxing's smiling face face to face for many years. Gu Yaxing always seems to be forcing himself to suppress the disgust in his heart when his eyes meet. Frowning into pimples, he lowered his head and walked in all directions in trouble.

The radiant and charismatic young man who stood on the stage many years ago has become more and more silent and serious. Jiang Changfeng thought he just changed his personality, but now it seems that the other party obviously doesn't know how to laugh, but just doesn't want to confront him. He just laughed.

Jiang Changfeng approached the two of them, patted the old manager's shoulder, and his eyes were threatening.

The other party quickly and wittily changed seats with him. No matter if it was a performing arts studio or a small brokerage company, it was a dead end to compete with a behemoth like Universal Entertainment.

The moment Gu Yaxing saw Jiang Changfeng, he restrained his smile and looked away blankly.

"Luo Ding was shortlisted for the best newcomer award?" In the end, Jiang Changfeng spoke first, his tone as always dismissive, "Let me do the math, how long has it been since he debuted? He was nominated now? The mellen group has won a lot in Korea. awards, and my own..."

Gu Yaxing interrupted him: "It's none of your business."

Jiang Changfeng wanted to talk to him more, but when he was choked back by such a mouthful, he immediately became furious: "Oh, just because of a rookie award?"

"I said it's none of your business."

"It's none of my business? Yes, it's really none of my business. Who said it's going to take care of you." Jiang Changfeng's expression was blunt, and he approached Gu Yaxing and said, "It's been so many years that you haven't made any progress. You are putting all your money on Luo Are you determined? So you are sure you can win? How much did you spend on this EP for him? Are you not that willing to part with yourself? Who is he to you?"

Gu Yaxing clenched his fists: "Do you think I'm as dirty as you?"

"I'm dirty?" Jiang Changfeng looked down at him with inexplicable eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand towards his face, but was caught and thrown away the moment he touched Gu Yaxing's earlobe.

Gu Yaxing's face was full of disgust: "Stay away from me!"

Jiang Changfeng stared at him, and suddenly sneered: "Do you really think your wings are stiff?"

"My wings have always been hard." Gu Yaxing finished speaking every word, and got up to leave.

Jiang Changfeng quickly grabbed his wrist, and dragged him back, the anger in his eyes was so intense that he couldn't hide it: "Just wait and see, it's just a nomination, any one of the shortlisted singers has more qualifications than yours." That is so deep, I don’t know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!”

"Mr. Jiang." A clear and pleasant male voice suddenly came from beside him. Jiang Changfeng looked sideways at the movement of pinching Gu Yaxing's wrist. Luo Ding had been standing there with a smile since he didn't know when.

Luo Ding stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of Jiang Changfeng's hand. His fingers were slender and slender, seemingly soft, but in fact they were surprisingly powerful, pinching Jiang Changfeng's hand until he lost all strength.

"Boss Gu and I still have some things to discuss, so I'm sorry."

As Luo Ding said, he gave Gu Yaxing a wink, and took him back to the third row to sit down: "What's the matter? Why does he always find you so unhappy?"

Gu Yaxing shook his head and didn't want to say more. With his head hanging down, he could see a few tufts of hair that couldn't be suppressed at the back of his head.Luo Ding was both emotional and soft-hearted, reached out and patted the opponent's head, turned his head, and looked at the group sitting on the other side of him.

Eight men and eight women, the girl chattered non-stop since they were seated. The young men were divided into factions. Those with good relationships sat close to each other, and those with bad relationships sat farther away. You can guess which group they belong to by looking at the camp. .

Mellen was shortlisted with an album at the beginning of the year. Although they are all Korean singers, they have undoubtedly established a solid foundation in the Chinese music scene.

The young man sitting closest to Luo Ding can speak Chinese, and I had exchanged a few words with him just now. After asking Luo Ding's name, his attitude changed immediately. He ignored him and kept squinting at Luo Ding. Ding whispered to his companion sitting next to him.

Not polite, but not impulsive enough to directly cause conflict.

Sure enough, he is a young man of this age, full of enthusiasm and vigor, but also has the little cunning accumulated in the entertainment industry.The seniors in the second row turned their heads to remind the girl team that when the discussion was quieter, the entire group was very humble and polite. The reason why they were so indifferent to Luo Ding was that they were the seniors in terms of seniority, right?

Luo Ding remained calm, as if he didn't know that he was being provoked, and the smile on his face seemed to be born with a mold.

Of course he knew where the other party's hostility came from. After the album was released, Gu Yaxing relayed to him a series of actions that Universal Entertainment was forced to stop.In order to compete with his new EP for rankings, Jiang Changfeng hastened the production of the mellen group's album, hoping to use mellen's original popularity to stabilize Luo Ding.Ke Luoding's sales figures quickly climbed to a level that made him realize that he could not compete anyway, and Mellen's album, which was processed and rushed, had to be delayed by one month.

Even the most die-hard fans can feel the shoddy and shoddy processing compared to the careful production in the past.Fans who felt they had been fooled were a little unhappy this time, and the response to the new album was not very good. Generally speaking, it was much worse than expected.

The mellen group obviously knew why the company would speed up the production of the album, and the first shot of cooperation with Universal Entertainment was dumb. It's no wonder they had a good voice towards Luo Ding, who indirectly caused their own failure.Relying on this album to compete for next year's best newcomer award is completely uncompetitive. Fortunately, they released an album at the beginning of the year. Although it is all in Korean, there is only one Chinese song in it. There is no chance to miss the newcomer award. No one will be reconciled if they don't come to fight.

In short, no matter how resentful the other party is, they can only yell at the safe periphery. If they are not arrogant enough to directly provoke, Luo Ding can turn a blind eye to them all.This kind of occasion does not depend on who has the most people or who has the loudest voice to win. Under the watchful eyes of the public, the quality of a person will always fall into the eyes of the onlookers.

The members of the mellen boy group looked at each other, holding their breath in their hearts.

They came to China from thousands of miles away, and they are unfamiliar with the language and the language. Compared with the local artists, they have put in more effort than the local artists.After finally being able to cooperate with a top big company in China to produce an album, Luo Ding's birth turned out to disrupt their original development plan into a mess.

The Chinese Music Festival is the pinnacle of Chinese music awards. Missing the Newcomer Award will have a great impact on their qualifications. If you want to develop in China, popularity alone is not enough.But the new album has already failed miserably, and the old album would not have been shortlisted if it wasn't for Universal Entertainment. It's no surprise that they can be calm when they meet Luo Ding, a strong rival, after their name is not right!

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly stagnant, and everyone was determined to perform well in the group performance in the second half, and to use as much strength as possible to make the judges change their minds before the awards were announced.

With the lights on and off, a group of 16 people can occupy nearly half of the stage just by standing at an equal distance.

The host introduced mellen's popularity and album sales on the small stage. Jiang Changfeng, who was sitting below, was just listening with his feet up. When the prelude to the music sounded, his mind suddenly paused.

He glared at the assistant: "What are they performing?"

""Superman", this song is the most popular song in their album, and the sixteen people danced very well. It is definitely more dazzling than Luo Ding's performance at the last online music awards." Ever since Jiang Changfeng gave the order to kill Luo Ding, their assistants began to look for countermeasures.The dance that Luo Ding danced at the Internet Media Music Awards Ceremony caused a sensation, making that awards ceremony set the highest ever record for rebroadcasting on the Internet. According to the traffic registration in the background, Luo Ding The dancing scene was the most replayed and paused in the entire program, and the peak of the peak line almost pierced the sky.

Isn't it just dancing?Sixteen people dancing together, could it be that it is not as powerful as a solo dance?In particular, the song "Superman" has a wide range of singing in China. The rhythm and composition are all composed by the most qualified rock bands in Europe and America, and the rhythm is quite strong.As for mellen group, they have been trainees for a long time before their debut, so don't be too experienced in dancing and group cooperation.

The assistant felt complacent after accomplishing a major event. Jiang Changfeng stared straight at the stage. The slim men and women on the stage turned around, and their slender legs and arms cooperated to draw a beautiful arc.

"Damn it! Pig!" He slapped the assistant on the back of the head hard, got up and left.

From the moment Luo Ding heard the prelude to the dance music, he knew that Mellen must suffer this time, and he didn't know how their manager and planners handled things. He didn't even have a deep understanding of the national conditions, so he just let the group dance for granted.

That's right, live performances are dances that can arouse the enthusiasm of the audience, and people's emotions are easily driven by the intense rhythm and accompaniment. This is the main reason why Luo Ding chose to dance such a big dance at the online media music ceremony.

But don't forget, that ceremony was attended by fans.

Although the annual music festival was also an awards ceremony, it was held in a semi-outdoor venue. Apart from the seats for the shortlisted guests, there was no auditorium for the audience to enter.The outside world wants to know the grand occasion in the grand ceremony can only be broadcast through TV.

Who is this atmosphere in mellen for?

You are either a fellow singer or a member of the judges. No one will scream like fans, or even calmer than passers-by watching. All they have to do is analyze your singing, your articulation, your breath and treble. standard.And these most important factors, no matter how good the physical strength is, once you start dancing, you will definitely not be able to take care of it perfectly.

There is another reason why experts tacitly do not speak out.Luo Ding didn't want to admit it, but he knew that in the domestic music scene, dance music was the least popular among all song genres and was not accepted by traditional culture.From the perspective of old-school singers, it doesn't matter if you dance a few times while singing. If you spend nearly half of your attention on dancing, can you still sing well?Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

In addition, very few people will sing foreign language songs at the Chinese music festival. If Mellen didn't have a Chinese song in the last album, they would not be shortlisted for this year's award competition despite Universal's superb skills.After finally getting in, getting a quota, but starting to sing English songs in front of a group of judges who insist on the status of Chinese music?

Did they make a mistake in their busy schedule or do they really not understand China's national conditions?

Gu Yaxing was a little worried: "They danced well."

Oh, Luo Ding understands.

It turned out that not everyone knew about this, he thought it was common sense.Gu Yaxing used to be a singer and didn't understand these taboos. The music industry under the name of Universal Entertainment doesn't have much business, so it's understandable that he didn't understand these things.

It's just a pity for mellen, Korea's packaging industry is really good, and the men and women of the group can only be regarded as pretty if they look closely.But the excellent clothes and suitable hairstyles make them look very fashionable at first glance. Their dancing skills are also really good, and their gestures are very powerful. From the small movements, it can be seen that they must have practiced the basic skills for many years.

At the end of the song, there was sparse applause off the stage, because there were too few people, and the sound wave was not formed.

Mellen came off the stage profusely sweating, dancing and singing exhausted their energy, they were taken backstage by their managers to touch up their makeup and change their clothes.

The singers who were nominated for the best newcomers were all sitting in the third row. Luo Ding had a panoramic view of everyone's appearance. Most of them were staring at the back of the mellen group leaving, with a look of nervousness on their faces.

It's time for Rodin to play.

Gu Yaxing became nervous, grabbed Luo Ding's arm and wanted to tell him something, but Luo Ding patted his head to comfort him.He was a little annoyed that Luo Ding, who was younger than him next year, put on a senior face like this every time, but the tension in his heart was indeed relieved a lot because of the other party's easy-going posture.

Luo Ding's program has already been reported, piano solo, plus the rhythm of the live small band, trying to show his voice advantages as simply as possible.

He sang "Concern" which is the most popular song in the EP.

Anxiety's soundtrack is relatively simple, almost relying on his vocal range to perform that kind of sadness throughout the whole process, because his voice is too smooth, after the EP became popular, many people vowed to guarantee that this song must be modified countless times in the later stage.There were even some professionals in the music industry among those who spoke. The basis for their conjectures was that the strength and proficient singing of this song were completely beyond what a singer in his 20s could possess. .

The huge stage became much more empty due to the departure of the mellen group. The lights condensed into a bunch and fell from the middle of the stage, and the pure white grand piano was moved to the center.

The host's witty words kept the scene from being too silent.

"Mellen's dance made my blood boil. I thought I could see Luo Ding perform another dance today. I was not able to attend the last online media music awards ceremony, but I watched the replay. I was really fascinated. Today Do you want to present playing and singing? Luo Ding, can you still play the piano?"

Luo Ding walked out of the dark backcourt with a smile, and put on a tuxedo jacket that matched his suit, white gloves, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and in the flickering lights, he looked quiet and very present.

He also smiled, with a natural and generous attitude: "Sister Xian asked me two questions at once, and I don't know which one to answer better."

He Xian's eyes became quite soft all of a sudden, and finally he met a newcomer who didn't stammer tremblingly. The worst thing a host feared was meeting guests who were too nervous to answer a question. Very hard work, okay?

"Then answer the first one."

"Yes." Luo Ding stood still in front of the piano, bowed slightly to the audience, then turned around and smiled at the host, "Sister Xian, why don't you guess which song I'm going to sing?"

"I saw your playlist backstage."

There was a slight laugh from below, and Luo Ding also laughed a few words, and sat down on the piano bench very gracefully.

Because the music was chosen to be so quiet, the people off the stage did not whisper like they did when Mellen was performing, but they all fell silent and turned their eyes to the stage.

The first key sound fell, like a cool wind blowing from outside, with a light and soft rhythm.Thin and fragile, like continuous rain, from dots to pieces, gradually continuous.

Gu Yaxing's eyes widened when he heard it in the audience. He knew that Luo Ding could play the piano, but Luo Ding learned the electronic piano after joining the company. When did he play it so well?

Obviously, the gentle rhythm gradually calmed the restless hearts of the audience due to dance music two.

I don't know when Luo Ding's voice appeared, and it blended so perfectly with the sound of the piano.One was slightly deep, and the other was soft and brisk, because his voice was smooth enough to be unobtrusive at all.

Since it was played and sung live, there must be no argument that the mic cannot be turned on. The sound at the awards ceremony was good enough, and Luo Ding's current voice must be the result of his performance on the spot.

The soft voice sounds like whispering, disturbing and worrying, because the indistinct love can't distinguish one's own heart.

The thin drums and the vast strings of the violin slowly blended in.

Farewell, reunion, reunion, parting.Human emotions are so turbulent and ups and downs, wanting too much, losing more, no matter how tightly the hand grasps, the fine sand will eventually fall clean from the fingers.

The soft music seemed to have been suppressed for too long, and suddenly broke out.

Whispers turned into shouts, mixed with unwillingness and hesitation, hoarse and so short.In an instant, as if the vitality had been completely consumed by this momentary explosion, the blooming epiphyllum withered.

Worries came and went, and in the end, I still didn't get what I wanted.

One's life seems to be bound by all kinds of concerns. In career, love and even the most trivial life, you can find scenes that fit the context of this song.

It is precisely because of the strong resonance that this song was able to beat the popularity of songs with a more catchy rhythm in the same period.In the venue of the award ceremony, there are many people who are being hindered by all kinds of troubles.

The keys of the piano are as gentle as they were at the beginning, but the bass that seems to be passing through it inexplicably makes the rhythm a little more gloomy and sad.

The song is over.Luo Ding stood up, bowed, stepped back, and left.

It wasn't until he walked near the host stage that the people in the audience came back to their senses and began to applaud sparsely.

The applause lasted for a long time, and more and more people joined in the end. Although it was still not as lively as the one at the online media ceremony, it was much more enthusiastic than when the mellen group left the stage just now.

Luo Ding returned to his seat, and when he passed the first row along the way, many guests nodded and said hello to him.

Gu Yaxing asked him in astonishment: "When did you play the piano so well?"

Luo Ding didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the stage, and he couldn't find any guilt on his face: "Did you forget that there is a piano in the newly rented house? Practice, it's just a song and I still can't practice it?"

Gu Yaxing was fooled again, and excitedly patted him on the arm: "You are so handsome!"

"Handsome?" Luo Ding grinned at him, "Don't worry?"

Gu Yaxing shook his head: "I have more and more confidence in you."

When the Mellen team came back, they didn't know if the manager had already conveyed the reprimand to them, but they all had an abnormally gray expression on their faces.The way they looked at Luo Ding could not be called kind.Fortunately, Luo Ding is not a person with a flamboyant personality, so he ignored them directly, which made them even more aggrieved without causing conflict.Angry with both the company and the opponent.

The most annoying thing in the world is being held back by pig teammates.

There is no need to watch the following whole show. Among the guests nominated for the Rookie Award, the only group whose popularity can be compared with Luo Ding is mellen. If the subsequent performances add points to me, mellen obviously failed to do it On the contrary, it was Luo Ding, a piano piece that wiped away the rumors of repairing tone and fully reflected his singing skills.

Gu Yaxing was very happy. He took the distorted trophy and wiped it over and over again, and then placed it on the top floor of the display cabinet dedicated to displaying trophies in the company office.Not many artists from Yaxing Studio have won awards. The highest award they received before was the TV Newcomer Award. Although it seems to be higher-end than the music circle, but because the awarding unit is not authoritative, there is no annual music festival. Such gold content.

Luo Ding was also quite happy, but not for long.He originally came back with a plug-in, and he has already won all the honors he deserved in his previous life. This time, when he received a newcomer award, he felt a little embarrassed when he received it. Almost happy.

As the leading music awards in China, the annual music festival is naturally not comparable to the scale of the online media. The next day, the entire content of the festival was refined and put on the central music station.Just relying on the star-studded point, it attracted countless old fans who squatted in front of the TV and waited to watch.

The fact that Luo Ding won the award spread among the fans within 5 minutes after the ceremony was announced. Naturally, the fan circle was full of joy. Anyone with a little knowledge of the weight of the annual award would know it.There is a promising and powerful idol, and fans are particularly confident in chasing stars.

The reasons for the failure of Mellen's new album have long been circulated among the fan circles of the mellen group. As singers of the same period, the fan circles of the two groups are not very harmonious.Mellen's fan circle at this year's annual music festival had great expectations for the idol to win the award, but when the result came out, many people couldn't accept it, crying and crying that there must be a shady scene.It must be that the Chinese music scene is suppressing foreign singers from abroad.

The performance of the mellen group played at the ceremony made them more sure of their guess. Mellen's performance was obviously very good, the dance was powerful and stylish enough, the songs were sung in a wide range, and the influence of fans was so great, so they won't win any awards. How harsh are the conditions for the award!

Naturally, many people became hostile to Luo Ding who had won the award.

A lot of people began to attack Luo Ding indiscriminately for using the back door and opening the backstage, and the awards were not worthy of the name. They relied on their Chinese talents to collude with those narrow-minded judges and stepped on the mellen group to reach the top.

But which passerby's eyes are not sharp?Anyone who was attracted by such gossip and went to watch the grand ceremony program, no one was not attracted by Luo Ding's playing and singing after mellen.Except for the fans who are blinded by love and refuse to accept the reality, anyone can see that Luo Ding and Mellen's two performances are hard to distinguish in terms of typhoon rendering power, and no one can beat the other.

The difference is that Mellen's performance is passionate, while Luo Ding's is quiet and sad.

But the mellen group has sixteen people!The hot-blooded group asked sixteen people to perform together, but in the end they still couldn't beat Luo Ding, who played and sang alone on the empty stage, which in itself had already lost.

What's more, although the dance is gorgeous, but when it comes to music alone, Luo Ding's is really better. The mellen group is probably to show their strength, but they still dance whole wheat, because the dance is too physically demanding, and sometimes they will be out of breath when they sing intensely.

No one denies their strength, if there is no Luo Ding, this newcomer award will definitely be in their pocket.

It's a pity that they collided with Luo Ding. If they lose, they lose. It's better to lose nicely and generously. How can they blame their opponents for being too strong?

Luo Ding's fans became more and more calm. The voices of various officials and passers-by supporting Luo Ding made them feel that it is better not to participate in self-degrading activities such as fighting.Mellen's fans, because there are too many lolitas and too much blood, are still not convinced after losing the award this time. They are full of ideas to win a game and discredit their opponents. On the contrary, it makes passers-by even more disgusted with the atmosphere of their circle.

Luo Ding's fans are busy licking Luo Ding's piano pictures.

There are not many official photos of Luo Ding's performance, and most of them are distant views.On the pitch-black stage, only the light fell in the middle. The thin young man was wearing a tuxedo suit, and his sitting posture was very good-looking. His fingers were slender and long sliding on the keys. He probably sang his feelings. Sadness, the picture is black and white, inexplicably makes people feel long-term sadness.

Luo Ding is so amazing!

Put the piano picture and the dance picture side by side, who can recognize this is a person? !ah? !Apart from being equally handsome, from head to toe, what else is the same between the two pictures? !

Playing the piano is a very attractive quality. Luo Ding has never advertised that he has this specialty before. Now that he is exposed for a while, it is no less than dropping a depth bomb.

-

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"I won't give it to you!!!"

"I won't give it to you!!!"

Luo Ding frowned and finished reading the few comments in the popular fan circle, thinking in his heart who the hell gave me to him, it was simply unconvinced after a while.

Yuan Bing had just finished an event and was busy touching up her makeup.The crew made an appointment to meet near the film festival venue, and Luo Ding went to pick her up before coming.

The others were waiting in the hotel next to the venue, and when they saw that they had finally arrived, they greeted them one after another.

"You guys are finally here!" Huo Xie's voice was loud, his eyes swept back and forth between Yuan Bing and Luo Ding, and he smiled inexplicably, "Oh, I like the new and dislike the old in pursuit of fresh meat."

Yuan Bing rolled his eyes: "I'm tired of seeing your old faces."

"It's really sad." Duan Xiubo's voice came from a distance, lazily, with a bit of joke and serious anger.

Luo Ding looked in the direction of his voice. The tall man was sitting in the rest seat not far away, holding a teacup in his hand and looking sideways at the direction of the door. His eyes were squinted, and the emotions in his eyes were unclear.

Luo Ding rolled his eyes when he thought of the remarks on the Internet these days, and didn't want to pay attention to them.

However, when he inadvertently glanced at the woman in a long black dress sitting next to her, Luo Ding couldn't calm down any more.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

Yan Jingjing!The so-called official partner in the previous life who unilaterally held a group and hyped him before.

It's really a narrow road to enemies, and you can't hide in two lifetimes!
