Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 288 Chapter 286 "There is only a music scene in the Mainland, but no music scene."

Huang Qihui?
Yu Dongqing had heard of this name before.

Aged in his 40s, this Mesozoic musician in the space-time Hong Kong music scene is good at writing Cantonese songs. After the older generation of musicians such as Xia Wenxi and Liu Guoliang gradually retired, Huang Qihui became more and more active and gradually became a leading figure in the music scene. It is a bit like the original space-time Xiangjiang musician Wule City.

Huang Qihui is different from the older generation Xia Wenxi in respect and humility. He likes to express some personal views on entertainment, and sometimes speaks outrageously, but this does not affect his status in the music scene.

It seems that it took a lot of effort for Huangdu TV to invite such a character to participate in the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.

But Yu Dongqing just asked casually and didn't care too much.

I have seen the glory of Xiangjiang Music in the 90s in the original space-time eight. Even though Xiangjiang Music is not too hip in this time-space, it is still far behind.

Now that she has decided not to participate in this year's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Yu Dongqing has recently focused on writing those two fairy tale books.

Of course, there is no rush. We are not the online writers in the original time and space. We update tens of thousands of words every day.

Of course some people are anxious.

Xia Chunqiu, the general manager of Shengshi Graphics, once called to ask, but in the end, he only wrote [-] words in a few days. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Yu Dongqing didn't care, but the mainland music scene was talking about it. Having such a heavyweight Xiangjiang musician participate in the awards ceremony would undoubtedly increase the popularity and influence of the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards.

On March 3, the annual Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony was held in the Golden Hall of Building C of Yanjing Hotel.

Many famous musicians and singers in the domestic music scene all participated. Except for Yu Dongqing who declined due to illness, another member of the band, Zhang Yang, participated on behalf of the band.

Although Yu Dongqing did not appear at the awards ceremony, his name was mentioned repeatedly.

Ten of the new songs released by my band last year were shortlisted, not including the songs written by Yu Dongqing for other singers
For example, "Dream Awakening Ten" written for Xiangjiang singer Wu Jingqi, "Ordinary Song" written for the famous mainland singer Zhou Wei, and "Two Twos Looking at Each Other" and "My Future Is Not a Dream" written by three singers in his studio And the song "Sweet Honey" - officially sung by Zhao Yawen at the end.

The results of the awards were not unexpected. Five songs written by Yu Dongqing, including "Chengdu", "Looking at Each Other", and "My Future Is Not a Dream", won the top ten golden songs.

"Yu Banbi" really lived up to the name.

The award-winning singers thanked Mr. Yu Dongqing for writing such a good song in their testimonials when they came to the stage to accept the award.

In a word, although brother is not in Jianghu for the time being, there are legends about brother everywhere.

In addition, the arrival of Huang Qihui, a famous Hong Kong musician, has also become a hot spot in this awards ceremony.

It is also the target of reporters chasing after interviews.

After the awards ceremony, Zhang Xiaoyan from the entertainment channel of Huangdu TV finally seized an opportunity to squeeze in front of Huang Qihui and asked: "Mr. Huang, I am a reporter from the entertainment channel of Huangdu TV. How do you feel about your trip to the Mainland this time, sir?" ?”

"The mainland audience and fans are very enthusiastic, and the organizers have made thoughtful and meticulous arrangements. I would like to express my gratitude." Huang Qihui said in broken Mandarin.

"So what's your opinion on the top ten Chinese golden songs selected tonight?"

"Basically, they represent the highest level of the mainland music scene last year."

"How does that compare with your Hong Kong's top ten golden songs?" Zhang Xiaoyan raised a hot topic.

The surrounding reporters also cheered up, and their microphones were turned on Huang Qihui.

Huang Qihui was silent for a while, with a slight smile on his face. Instead of answering Zhang Xiaoyan directly, he asked instead: "Miss reporter, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's true."

"With all due respect, although mainland music has made great progress in the past two years, it still has a long way to go compared with Xiangjiang, including these top ten golden songs!"

"What does Mr. Huang mean to say, the top ten hits in the mainland are not as good as your top ten hits in Hong Kong?" Zhang Xiaoyan straightened out the words and looked at the other party.

Huang Qihui smiled, but did not answer.

But the expression on his face is enough to say it all.

Soon: "Famous Hong Kong musician Huang Qihui believes that the top ten golden songs in the mainland are not as good as the top ten songs in Xiangjiang" a news rushed to the trending search the next day, causing netizens to discuss.

Some people say that he is too arrogant, and some people say that although his words are a bit harsh, they are true.

The mainland music scene has made great progress in the past few years, but compared with Xiangjiang, there is still a lot of gap in the overall level.

Let's just talk about the top ten Chinese golden songs, five of which were written by the musician Yu Dongqing. It is said that if the Golden Melody selection committee hadn't restricted it privately, Yu Dongqing's songs would have won more awards.

But does this mean that there is a lack of talent in mainland music?
Looking at Xiangjiang, the older generation includes Xia Wenxi, Liu Guoliang and others, the Mesozoic Huang Qihui and others have already provoked the leading role, and a large number of new generation musicians have begun to emerge.

In a word, there are too few people in the mainland who can fight
What is the use of Guangyu Dongqing alone?

Of course Yu Dongqing also knew about this, and many fans left messages on his Weibo, expressing their indignation towards Huang Qihui, hoping that Yu Dongqing could stand up and say a few words for mainland music.

Yu Dongqing did not respond.

What Huang Qihui said has some truth.

Now the music in China and Xiangjiang is very similar to the relationship between the mainland and Xiangjiang in the early 90s.

Principal Tan and his brother's hegemony ended, Alan Tam faded out of the Hong Kong music scene, Leslie Cheung moved to the film industry, but the four kings turned out to sweep Hong Kong and the mainland music scene.

The female singers were Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian, and Faye Wong, who competed for the hegemony. Later, Peng Ling, Zheng Xiuwen, and Chen Huilin suddenly emerged. The Xiangjiang music scene has never lacked superstars.

At this time, there were stars such as Hacken Lee, Andy Hui, and Ronald Cheng.

On the other hand, in the mainland, the "northwest wind" has faded, campus folk songs are still limited to singing in schools, and rock and roll is still accumulating strength underground.

It's no fun to talk about it, everything has to be explained by the work.

However, the heat of this matter quickly disappeared after the awards ceremony. Huang Qihui is from Xiangjiang, and he is not the only Xiangjiang musician who looks down on the mainland.

Everyone got used to it.

But unexpectedly, another incident brought up the old incident again, causing even greater waves.

It actually comes from an interview.

After Huang Qihui returned to Xiangjiang, Ms. Lin Meiwen, a well-known reporter from Xiangjiang Universal TV, made an exclusive interview with Huang Qihui.

In Huang Qihui's luxurious office in his personal studio in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, the two drank coffee, chatted about music life, and naturally talked about mainland music.

"Mr. Du, you just participated in the award ceremony of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs held in the Mainland not long ago, and you were interviewed by a reporter from the Mainland. You think that the Top Ten Golden Songs in the Mainland are not as good as the music of Hong Kong's Top [-] Songs, and there is still a long way to go compared with Xiangjiang. Is it true that you want to go?"

Huang Qihui crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, that's what I said to be more polite, we also need to save face for others."

"Mr. Du, what would you say if you were rude?" Lin Meiwen asked:
"In the mainland there is only the music scene but not the music scene."
