Perfect Superstar

"I think Xiangjiang should learn from the mainland in terms of original pop music."

It's really not surprising. Lu Chen didn't say much in front of him, but when he opened his mouth, there was an uproar. The crowd gathered around to listen to the lively Xiangjiang musicians. Thinking, and some suddenly change color.

Many people think that what Lu Chen said is ridiculous.

For a long period of time in the past, except for niche types of music such as national rock, mainland pop music has always been an imitator and follower of Xiangjiang pop music, and the latter has a huge influence on the former.

From the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the new century, many Xiangjiang musicians went north to develop, which greatly promoted the development of pop music in the mainland.

Therefore, to a certain extent, in terms of pop music, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiangjiang is a teacher in the mainland.

Although Xiangjiang's pop music is declining now, it is really unacceptable for Hong Kong's local musicians to say that Xiangjiang should learn from the mainland in turn.

Especially this sentence came from the mouth of Lu Chen, a singer and artist from the mainland.

For a while, the scene was full of emotions, and there was a tense atmosphere. If it weren't for the basic politeness in social situations, someone would have come out to scold Lu Chen loudly.

This kind of situation made Ye Xuan, who brought up the topic, cry secretly. He never expected that Lu Chen's words would be so straightforward, and he would suddenly fall into an embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan was also a bit quick-witted, so he simply continued the topic: "Why do you say that?"

If the discussion between the two is regarded as a cross talk, then Ye Xuan is undoubtedly playing the role of a supporter, so that he can take away the firepower and make others pay more attention to Lu Chen and forget him as the culprit.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Because in some respects, the mainland is indeed doing better than Xiangjiang."

His voice was not loud, even rather soft, but there was an unshakable confidence in his words.

Domestic pop music, in fact, is also facing similar problems as Xiangjiang. Plagiarism and imitation are commonplace, and local original strength is sluggish.

However, many domestic musicians have realized this problem early and have made changes in many ways. The simplest example is that in the past two years, domestic music talent shows have paid more and more attention to originality, and even launched programs such as "The Strongest Singer-Composer" "And so on.

Although "The Strongest Singer" is produced by Shonan Satellite TV, and there are strong commercial interests behind the support of the original, Lu Chen still supports the show itself.

Because it can make many excellent singers stand out and condense the power of original music.

Moreover, the remuneration of domestic songwriters has been greatly improved. With the recovery of the pop music market, capable authors are becoming more and more popular with entertainment agencies.

In contrast, Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is steadfast, without the courage and determination to change the status quo, obsessed with playing leftovers from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, frequently launching idol artists to hype and publicize, staring at the pockets of young people in Xiangjiang to make money , Never take originality seriously.

In particular, Xiangjiang's talent show, Miss Xiangjiang, Miss Asia and the Idol Awards, etc. occupy the mainstream. It looks lively and lively, but what's left inside the gorgeous and noisy coat?

Lu Chen said bluntly: "When I was young, I used to listen to many excellent and classic Cantonese songs, but now I still listen to those old songs."

"Isn't this a problem with Xiangjiang Pop Music's originality?"

Many people around fell into silence, because what Lu Chen said was completely true, which made it impossible for them to refute.

Some people were not convinced, and asked instead: "So the mainland original is really better than Xiangjiang?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm not modest, it's true. I'll take myself as an example. I'm also a songwriter. The current quotation from my studio is 1 million per song."

1 million a song!

Suddenly there were whispers and gasps all around, because the price was completely beyond their expectations. You must know that Ouyang Derong, the best songwriter in Xiangjiang, costs around 300,000 yuan for a song.

The height determines the thickness and level. With Lu Chen as the benchmark, the original value standard in the Mainland must not be low, at least it must far exceed the level of Xiangjiang.

Someone murmured suspiciously: "Is it real or fake?"

When Lu Chen first came to Xiangjiang, when he attended a charity auction, he took out a piece of work as a lot and sold it for a high price of one million.

This incident has also been circulated in the circle, but not many people take it seriously, because many charity auctions are just hype.

A so-called modern art painting with random graffiti may fetch tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Everyone in the industry knows the tricks in it.

But it's different now that Lu Chen said it himself. If he brags indiscriminately, it will become a joke in the circle.

"of course it's true!"

Someone categorically answered for Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu Chen is the most outstanding music creator in the mainland. As far as I know, his studio work creation has been scheduled until 2018, and appointments are temporarily suspended."

All eyes could not help but focus on each other.

"Mrs. Jin!"

It was Jin Mingxiu, the owner of Madam Entertainment, who came forward to prove to Lu Chen.

The questioner suddenly fell silent.

Jin Mingxiu was born in a famous family. When he was in his twenties, he founded an entertainment company, involved in the production of film and TV variety shows, and trained artists and singers. Over the past decades, he has provided a large number of talents to Xiangjiang's entertainment industry.

Famous actors Liu Jiaen, Gu Rong, singers Gao Mingfeng, Li Li, etc., all came from Mrs. Jin's sect.

In the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, she is definitely one of the top. She doesn't have the status of a superstar, but any queen of heaven will give her some face.

Her proof is naturally very important!

Jin Mingxiu ignored the surprised gazes around him, and smiled at Lu Chen, "Long time no see, Lu Chen!"

Then this well-known figure in the Hong Kong entertainment circle stepped forward and took Chen Fei'er's little hand, with a look of surprise after a long absence: "Fei'er, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Chen Fei'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Jin, it's because you are getting younger and younger!"

Mrs. Jin shook her head: "Don't make fun of Miss Jin. If I knew that you two were invited to the salon, I should have come here earlier."

Holding Chen Fei'er's hand, she looked around and said seriously: "I just listened to a few words, and I feel that Mr. Lu Chen's words are very reasonable. The current situation facing Xiangjiang pop music needs all of us to work together to change it."

"It's not enough to rely on words alone, what is needed is action. I suggest that all of us jointly create a competition to encourage and support original music. No matter how much you pay, it is worthwhile to reappear the glory of the songs and works!"

Mrs. Jin's aura is undoubtedly strong. She attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared, and also raised the topic caused by Lu Chen to a higher level.
