Chapter 408 Expert Meeting
Before the official recording of each season of "The Road to the King of Singers" begins, a high-level expert meeting will be held.
This expert meeting is basically for the chief director and some media people and musicians to discuss and determine the candidates for the first singer.
At the conference, He Shan, a music professor at the Central University of the Arts, said: "This season, we should still discover some long-lost singers and give those older generation singers a chance to become popular again. The more popular they become, the more it proves the success of our program!"
He Shan, an elderly and experienced music professor, obviously prefers the older generation of singers. He feels that the more old singers with strong singing skills there are, the more it can reflect the professionalism and style of the program "The Road to the King of Singers".
However, director Gong Tao said: "I think there should still be a younger voice, and the audience also likes to see dark horses make a comeback."
Gong Tao then naturally mentioned "Gu Qingge." He said, "In the past two years, our Chinese music scene has seen the emergence of a very young singing queen. Last year, she won many awards at the China Golden Melody Awards and the Music Annual Chart. The Chinese and ancient music styles she pioneered are extremely popular in the pop music scene. Her name is... Gu Qingge."
After Gong Tao finished speaking, He Shan, a professor at the Central University of the Arts, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Who is she? I've never heard of that name."
He Shan is over 60 years old, so it is normal that he has never heard of "Gu Qingge". When this expert meeting was held, Gu Qingge had not yet performed on the Spring Festival Gala.
It's not just He Shan, there are also some other older musicians, and even the president of a music company under the Sky Entertainment Group, one of the Big Four, who actually said "I really haven't heard of it".
It's no wonder that the Sky Entertainment Group is so lagging behind in the music field. Gu Qingge is now a truly promising super star in the Chinese music scene, who is a great writer, singer and has an unbeatable appearance. I've never heard of him before, so can this music company really discover talented new generation singers?
Wang Yingfeng, a music professor at Huaxia University of the Arts, couldn't help herself. She was only forty years old, and she knew Gu Qingge, who was a student at Huaxia University of the Arts and was the pride and business card of Huaxia University of the Arts, very well.
She said, "Gu Qingge is a top student at our Huaxia Arts University, the top scorer in the Jiangnan Province liberal arts college entrance exam, and a current top singer. You haven't heard of her? I can only say that you are too ignorant. If she participated in our 'Road to the King of Songs', we wouldn't have to worry about the ratings."
You Woxing, a top musician and the recognized "Father of Music" in the pop music world, said: "Gu Qingge is a post-2000s. I went to see her Qingge Music Festival. Her live performance was very strong. Her band Queen is also a top-notch band. My daughter Ruoyu is the lead guitarist in her band."
You Woxing has messy long hair and a not-so-handsome face, and wears a pair of black-framed glasses. His clothes are also very abstract and artistic, but when he mentioned his daughter "You Ruoyu", his tone became unusually gentle.
Apart from music, You Woxing is a cold-hearted person in real life, a representative of a scumbag. He also has no feelings for his offspring and chooses to make up for everything with money.
However, when You Woxing saw his daughter playing the electric guitar and shining on the stage, he was still touched. After all, at that moment, You Ruoyu was the embodiment of music.
Given You Woxing's status in the music industry, as long as he just gives a few greetings, You Ruoyu will have a very smooth career in the entertainment industry.
When You Ruoyu goes on music variety shows, she is basically praised by other singers, judges, etc.
Of course, she herself was ignorant and thought that the world was so beautiful, or that with Gu Qingge's protection, her development in the music industry would be smooth sailing.
However, she did not expect that You Woxing had also spread the word privately that he would definitely protect You Ruoyu, the daughter of his deceased ex-wife, and he had also expressed his appreciation for the entire Queen band on many occasions.
This is certainly not just because of You Ruoyu, but the music produced by the Queen band is really amazing. Gu Qingge, the talented singer-songwriter who emerged out of nowhere and is the soul of the Queen band, can be said to have single-handedly placed the band on the altar.
"In short, with Gu Qingge's singing skills, there is no one else in her age group who can match her," You Woxing concluded.
You Woxing's words were still very important. After he said this, the chief director Gong Tao, who had originally been very fond of Gu Qingge, was naturally overjoyed, and Gu Qingge naturally took the opportunity to determine one of the seven starting singers.
Only He Shan from the Central University of the Arts was a little unhappy. He felt that Gu Qingge was still too young. It was outrageous that she had appeared on "The Road to the King of Singers" before she was 20 years old. The youngest singer who had appeared on this stage before was 25 years old.
Gu Qingge's background as a graduate of China University of the Arts also offended He Shan. After all, he was from "Zhongyi", and Zhongyi and Huayi had always been at odds with each other.
He said, "Actually, I also support the new generation of singers. For example, Li Jie, who graduated from the Vocal Music Department of the Central University of the Arts, is a better choice than Gu Qingge. Her singing skills are quite good, and she is very popular. She has already held more than five large-scale concerts. With her current qualifications, she can definitely represent the new generation of singers and participate in 'The Road to the King of Songs'."
When Gong Tao heard He Shan suggest Li Jie, he was immediately happy, because this female singer was also in his consideration, and she could definitely be molded into a rival of Gu Qingge, because Li Jie also won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, and it was inevitable that she would win the Golden Melody Award in the future.
Gu Qingge was crowned queen at such a young age, which is inseparable from her pioneering spirit. Li Jie still lacks a lot in originality.
In addition to Li Jie, some people also suggested Hong Kong's new generation singer Qiu Ziyue. Unfortunately, because of Gu Qingge and Li Jie, she was not considered this season. But in the next season, Qiu Ziyue, who is also very talented and has good singing skills, will definitely be there.
In addition to Gu Qingge and Li Jie, there is another candidate who is also quite controversial. He has more experience than the previous two and is also a new generation of "little king of the music world" An Mingxun.
This "little king of the music world" An Mingxun is naturally a well-deserved top star in the music world. Although the quality and popularity of his works are far inferior to Gu Qingge, he is good at hype and has a lot of gossip. His "chicken blood, ghost crying and wolf howling" stage performances have also been praised as "god-level".
In addition, An Mingxun made no secret of his romantic and amorous nature. His favorite targets were various talented female singers.
