Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

After the New Year's Eve concert with the Lin Jiashu band was over, Su Yun was with the Wang brothers again, packed up and flew back to Xiangjiang.

"How does it feel to be here in Xiangjiang for the past few years?" During the trip, Su Yun carelessly asked.

"Sigh, brother-in-law loses his sister-in-law's love when he is in love, and he can't care about his purse if he can care about his thoughts. He is still groping." Wang Jiajun shook his head and sighed, "Don't even try to do something behind your back. Do you think I can't see what happened before?"

"I just think that the music scene in Xiangjiang can't catch up with your ideas." He could hear Wang Jiayun's implication that he already knew that he had secretly asked someone to take care of him. Su Yun quickly waved her hand, expressing that she didn't Do a lot.

"Forget it, we all know that you want to help us." Wang Jiaxiang was afraid that his elder brother would say the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly said something.

"I'm not trying to blame Susu, I'm just saying a few words in passing." Wang Jiayun hurriedly pushed him away.

After a while, Su Yun continued, "You know, most of the consumers are immature students and young people who have just started working. The music made by your band is a masterpiece that transcends the times. , They won't be able to appreciate it for a while."

"I also understand, so after going to the mainland of China with them before, I started to have other ideas." Wang Jiayun gestured and said, "I plan to expand more in terms of topic selection and interpretation. Like the "Earth" released at the end of this year, let other people in the band try to sing, not just me as the lead singer..."

"Then, try to strike a balance between commerce and art..." Although the family has already accumulated a certain amount of money because of Su Yun's fortune, the two brothers have basically been chasing their common interests with all their heart and soul these years. With the dream of music gone, the parents, older brothers and sisters have to work hard to support the family business.

It's also thanks to Su Yun's "secret care" for them, otherwise the first two years were almost stuck in pursuit of dreams, and it would have been difficult to survive.

"I don't have time to develop into music. Of course, I hope that someone can inherit my dream, and these people are still my good friends." Su Yun smiled, "What's more, the status quo of the Hong Kong music scene is already a little bit It’s close to killing the chicken and picking the eggs, I support you and Danny Zai and others in their efforts to insist on originality, and I also want to try my best to change this deformed situation.”

Su Yun was very displeased with the smearing remarks of later generations that "so and so feeds half of the Xiangjiang music scene".

This situation is obviously a stage in the development of regional music, just like the Dongying music scene in its early development, it also made a lot of references and covers of the well-developed European and American music scenes, so as to learn from other people's good things and then combine them with local conditions. , to develop their own unique music culture.

The current stage of the Xiangjiang music scene is just repeating the stage that the Dongying music scene has gone through.

However, because the Hong Kong music scene can rely on the current booming film and television industry to "take advantage", the demand for songs is far greater than the amount of creation, so they buy European and American songs, Japanese and Korean song copyright covers, or the corresponding music of the singers. The company's cross-border resource sharing... This is a fairly normal thing during this period of development.

It is not shameful to buy the copyright and pay for the "cover song", and even this "Chinese cover song" should be strictly regarded as the "Chinese original song"-in terms of song copyright in the current era, most of the copyright of the song belongs to the If the music company, songwriter and lyricist are not both composers and lyricists, the "original singer" singer is actually just a pawn to sing the song and can be replaced every minute.

But in the eyes of many people who don't know the inside story, the copyright of a song belongs to the "original" singer who was the first to sing the song...

In view of this phenomenon that only the singers do not know the various production participants behind them, the competition among singers in music companies is sometimes far more cruel than that in the film and television industry.

For example, whenever an album is about to be released, the song resources owned by large and small music companies are basically sorted from top to bottom according to the status of the singers in the company: big-name singers are the first to choose songs, and the obviously high-quality, popular songs are selected first. Those who have a high chance of being popular are selected; the remaining ones, even if there are "fish that slipped through the net", will always make the "fish that slipped through the net" become "relics in the music world" under the circumstances that various supporting resources are slightly poor.

This kind of top-down song selection situation, which in turn leads to the phenomenon of music singers fighting to the death all the time, is not what those big money are concerned about.

In fact, they are actually happy to see this kind of life-and-death situation--competitiveness can have enough motivation, and only then can the fans who can compete with each other grit their teeth and stomp their feet and buy a few more records. After gathering more sand into a tower, wouldn't the record sales be able to increase by another level?

Su Yun's face darkened when she thought of the past "two kings fighting for hegemony" to the recent "princess melee", and the future "Four Heavenly Kings" period that will become the glorious period and the last afterglow of the Xiangjiang music scene.

It is precisely because of these behind-the-scenes driving forces that a group of singers who used to be so close and have a good relationship are now always embarrassed when they meet each other.

So much so that Chen Boyang was smeared and frustrated physically and mentally, and finally had to go abroad for recuperation; so Tan Yunlun directly announced at the awards ceremony that he would no longer participate in competitive awards; it also made Zhang Querong, after two years of hard work, I also want to temporarily withdraw from the music world, and the return date is unknown...

In the eyes of these short-sighted people who only care about gains and losses, her real friends are just pawns that can earn them money.

And the film and television industry, which is related to the music scene, is it not the case?

On the surface, it looks like it is thriving and prosperous, and there is still a long, long way to go; as everyone knows, it is too late to eat up the dividends of the era when the time and place are harmonious, and it has been boycotted by the areas that have found capital loss everywhere. , Kill this era dividend directly from the source.

However, Xiangjiang Film and Television, which has lost the dumping of works in foreign markets and recovered funds, has declined at a rapid rate, even faster than Xiangjiang Music, which has not developed smoothly due to language restrictions.

Su Yun looked down at the thermos in her hand, and the wolfberry, chrysanthemum, and cassia seeds that had just been soaked in it mixed into a mass of bright and colorful colors: Just like the current situation in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, it seems that the flowers are flourishing, but in fact, it is deeply buried in the bottom. The undercurrent is raging, and it has begun to boil without anyone knowing it.

Make a point in the general direction, manage and control as much as possible, and then take advantage of the end of the golden age when you can still make money and fame, and try to make more money to pave the way for a comprehensive transformation in the future.

She and the people around her also need to work harder - only by raising funds and fame to the top of the industry can they have more say in the discussion of future development routes.

In order to have more say, besides starting a business with He Pingsi and trying to earn funds for transformation and development, it is also necessary to recruit talents who have the potential to go up as much as possible.

According to the route she has already planned, she basically has no shortage of money; the only thing she lacks with those who want to compete for the right to speak about the future development route is a "chess piece" that can have enough weight in the entertainment circle.

Therefore, in the past few years, while promoting herself to continue to go up, she has also challenged all kinds of important international awards for the people in her hands.

After mentally calculating the next arrangement, Su Yun secretly made up her mind.

This trip to Dongying, when I returned to Xiangjiang with my old friends again, it was already a new year.

After a short rest, Su Yun immediately began to exert the liver power of Xiangjiang's speed. She kept spinning day and night, hustle and bustle. At any rate, it was the eve of the Chinese New Year, and the two versions of "New Town" were ready. .

The version brought back to Zhao Liming for release in Shenzhen City is a more theme-oriented style and a more accessible storyline, which is used as ideological inspiration and policy propaganda.

The version that was sent to the Berlin Film Festival for the prize was a change from the harmonious and warm version of the previous version. The struggle in housing estates, and finally the implementation of new policies and the completion of "new towns" focused more on ideological and social confrontation...

This is precisely aimed at the Berlin Film Festival, which has long been known for its attention to political and social reality. Using changes in the circumstances of characters to express historical and political changes is in line with the Berlin Film Festival's consistent appetite.

Besides, Su Yun's film is not focused on the Golden Bear Award, the final award, but the relatively inferior Silver Bear Award for Mei Yanshuang to hit the Berlin Best Actress - she and Director Zhang and other Chinese have worked hard before Next, put in some effort and money for public relations, and it should be very promising.

After all, the Berlin Film Festival is the most "friendly" to China and the Chinese among the three major awards. Many Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers also rely on it, and use it as a starting point to gradually set off to the world.

Of course, there is another very important factor in the reason why Su Yun chose this Berlin Film Festival: her friend Luo Mi is one of the judges for this year.

This is a particularly crucial vote.

In the case of being able to win the prize, no matter how much assurance there is... Su Yun won't be rigid and not use some tricks in the dark.

After all, since the first time she won the statuette on the Oscar stage, she already knew how to use public relations methods to canvass votes for herself.

When the dust of an award ceremony was settled, Su Yun took the lead in applauding Mei Yanshuang after she knew she had won the award, seeing Mei Yanshuang's crying and laughing face.

By the way, it also mobilizes the people around me who can be mobilized——

Taking advantage of free time to accompany Luo Mi to be a judge, Zha Lan, who came here for a vacation, was dragged by Su Yun to be a guest cheerleader for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you short of money recently? I heard that you sold shares and took over the production of special effects for movies..."

If you have time to take other people's production business, you don't have time to take him!

Su Yun glared at him angrily: "What's the relationship between me and you? As for the comparison, if you really have something to do, will I not help? I took the special effects production business of "Future Water World" purely For its leading man, Kevin Costner."

"Oh, what are you going to ask him to shoot?" Although Su Yun's words are easily ambiguous, but I have seen Su Yun want to recruit the little fairy boy as a worker, and I will never think Su Yun Yun is interested in Costner rather than Costner's "talent".

"Well, I plan to let him be one of the male protagonists in the movie series adapted from my game "Resident Evil." Su Yun responded casually, "Because Costner is also an action superstar, it's not good to invite him." , that is, only such a resource exchange can take him down."

"By the way, have you found a model you like?" Su Yun said, looking towards Zha Lan again.

"I really don't understand why you care so much about my fur advertisement..." Zha Lan took out a stack of photos from his suit pocket even more speechlessly, "Here, here are the last batch of candidates. They are all left after several rounds of selection, if there is no accident, you should choose one of them."

Su Yun hastily took over the stack of photos, her hands trembling with excitement: Why do you care so much about Zha Lan's fur ad - because this fur ad is the debut of another French goddess!

This is what she is planning to use as "Jill", one of the heroines of "Resident Evil"!The supporting male lead "Chris" has already been obtained, and I must be in a hurry to get the female lead as soon as possible...

Sure enough, under another "introduction" by the French sun god, Su Yun quickly found the beautiful goddess she had been thinking about for a long time in the stack of photos.

"Yes, that's right, it's Monica Bellucci - that's the one I'm looking for, give it to me!"
