this man is not calm

Chapter 42 Comparison produces gaps
Regardless of the outcome of the talks, on the surface, Zhang Yingyong seemed quite satisfied.

Satisfied with wine and food, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

At about ten o'clock, after Director Zhang declined the suggestion of "transferring" to another place to continue having fun, Nan Dabiao called a taxi to take him back.

It was neither early nor late, the Jin family father and son, Nan Dabiao, and Dai Yiqin were sitting in the booths in the lobby chatting and sobering up.

After the distinguished guests left, the conversation between acquaintances became much easier.

"Uncle Da Biao, what's going on today? It's good to have a relationship with CCTV, why is it a sports channel?"

After hearing Jin Shang's question, Nan Dabiao smiled and replied:
"The start-up department is full of troubles. You don't know that this sports channel is a mess inside, and the struggle for power and profit is fierce."

Jin Shang can also understand this point. Except for the basic manpower, the newly established Yamen has to start from scratch. To a certain extent, it is both a risk and an opportunity.

There is no dispute at this time. When the overall framework is roughly stabilized, it will be too late to make further troubles.

"The General Department of the Sports Channel, where Director Zhang works, is a 'panacea' department that can manage everything, but whether it can really manage it depends on whether it has enough resources and whether the leadership is strong enough. Our Changdi Culture It's just one of the many partners. When discussing the authorized cooperation of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", why do you need a cadre of this level to discuss it in person? To put it bluntly, I still want to chat with you to find out whether the Internet is deep... ..."

"Well, I roughly understand."

After hearing the words, Jin Shang understood the general idea after a little thought.

For Zhang Yingyong and his sports channel general department, bigger is stronger, more is better, and more people are powerful, so the right to speak on the sports channel is naturally more important.

If there is an additional network and new media department, two or three research groups will be arranged, and ten or twenty establishments will not be a problem.

Lao Jin also belatedly echoed:

"The suggestion you gave is that you can start the layout, but you can't expect too much. It's more appropriate. For a unit like theirs, personnel is the foundation, and political performance is the boost. We don't care about the former, and the latter, no matter what he is doing now. Believe it or not, Xiao Shang’s judgment, as long as you prove to be right in the future, sooner or later you will leave a deep impression on him.”

"The future will be long, don't rush for a while."

Jin Shang also understood that it would be nice to have a common language when dealing with each other for the first time.

In this meeting, in addition to the authorization of music songs as an introduction, there are also some advertisements and endorsements. Zhang Yingyong also promised that the "CCTV Sports Network" that will be established in the near future will conduct a series of "Northern United Online" under Jinxi Culture. Cooperation in the fields of technology and information.

How to build a decent website requires not only technology, but also product design and planning that keep up with the times.CCTV has talents, and Jin Shang knows the future trend. The cooperation between the two can be considered to be what they need.

"It just so happens that my website plans to be officially revised the day after tomorrow, so that these high-achieving students in the system can have a good experience of how to play the Internet at the forefront of the times."

They were all on their own, and Jin Shang was no longer the restrained attitude he was before, and his tone of speech became louder and louder. Anyway, all the people present were laymen, and no one could refute.

Lao Jin laughed a few times, curled his lips in distaste, changed the subject, and asked Nan Dabiao:

"The movie took three months, how is it going?"

"The progress is not bad. The first film is almost finished, and the other two are also okay. It is cost-effective and fast, but the producers, directors and actors have to work harder. By the way, Xiao Dai also There's a character in it, showing his face, and it's a good publicity stunt..."

Dai Yiqin waved his hand modestly:
"It's better than a cameo role. It's familiar. After all, I haven't been on the big screen for many years, and I'm a lot rusty. It takes a while to get used to it."

With an investment of more than 1000 million, even Nan Dabiao, who made the decision to support Dai Yiqin, would not dare to entrust him to take the lead.It is hard to be too cautious about the pioneering work of planting a flag and establishing a career.

"When the album is released smoothly and becomes popular, we can keep up with the subsequent operations. We need to let the funder see the commercial value of becoming popular again, so that we can increase the announcement fee."

"How's the album production going?"

Speaking of this, Jin Shang became interested. After all, there is also his own share of it. Once it is sold, it will be a lot of money.

"It will take some time. Generally speaking, it will be smooth. But..."

After Dai Yiqin breathed out a few breaths, he responded with a little concern,

"I always feel that the other songs in the album are much more mediocre than "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", and there are not many 'hot spots'. Fans who bought the single may not necessarily have the motivation to buy the album."

After all, the only song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is popular, and the motivation to pay for it may not be strong enough.

"I'm used to eating delicacies, so I don't look down on simple food."

Jin Shang joked with a smile,
"Good songs are rare, and it is impossible for an album to contain all the classics of a generation. "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" takes advantage of the right time, place and people. Another time may not be so popular."

"I understand, I just don't want to be reconciled! It's not that the selected songs are bad. Only when there is a comparison, people will feel regret unconsciously."

Nan Dabiao seemed to have some understanding of this, and sighed slightly:
"Luo Yang also mentioned to me whether he needs to find someone to write a better song, otherwise, it will be difficult to promote it."

It's about this time, and when I go to select songs and invite songs, whether the quality can be guaranteed is another matter for the time being, I will definitely be slaughtered by someone.

"Life is unsatisfactory, and nine times out of ten, even if you choose a relatively good song, you may feel that it is not rock and roll, and it does not cut the theme. By the way, what is the name of the album?"

"The theme currently set is 'First Dream', betting on inspiration, and also want to bring back the memories of old fans. The youth of a generation, nostalgia is right."

"Huh? This... seems a little familiar."

Jin Shi shook his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Jin Shang,

"I remember, did you create a... I don't know the name, but there is this sentence in the lyrics?"

creation?

Ok!

Jin Shang moved a bit because of sitting for too long, his neck was a little stiff, after a slight nod, he complained with a little dissatisfaction:

"There is indeed a song with the same name! Dad, you have installed a surveillance camera at home, have you secretly listened to it?"

"Still eavesdropping?"

Lao Jin, who seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, replied very frankly,
"That house has been around for some time. It used to be a historical building in terms of real estate. The ownership was ours. The family could live in it, but it might be difficult to sell it. It's a lot looser now, but all the facilities are still in use. down..."

After working for a long time, not only the house was inherited, but also some "historical relics" in it are still there.

Surveillance does exist, but it is not for eavesdropping and peeping, but to prevent criminals from breaking in and causing damage.

"Fine!"

Jin Shang reluctantly agreed with Dad's explanation.

That old house was not the most valuable property left by my grandfather.Nowadays, the location is a bit out of the way. In the past, it was a garden built in the countryside, occasionally for the owner's family to play and cultivate one's morality.

When grandmother Xian Guizhen and grandfather Huang Xiumin broke up, the remote house and the surrounding land were brought over like this. After several repairs and reconstructions, it became what it is now. The villa looks quite western on the outside, but still retains a lot of antique flavor inside. charm.

In the movie that the Nan brothers are shooting, many scenes are taken from the old Jin family house. The location where the protagonist of the story lives is also one of the gimmicks.

"Are there many buildings like this in the capital?"

Nan Dabiao led Lao Jin to answer Jin Shang's question.

"Wealth and culture have been accumulated for hundreds of years. In some years, there were quite a lot of courtyards. There are several palaces in the city center, the palace of the general, and the government office. Now they are all cultural relics and cannot be tampered with. They are relatively well preserved and privately owned. There are not many houses that can be sold and used, and that are more livable.”

"I didn't expect that the house that looks okay is actually a rare commodity."

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Jin Shang couldn't help but secretly regret that he didn't know how to cherish when he was a child, and smashed a lot of furniture decorations of unknown value and unknown use, as well as tables, chairs, tea sets, pots and pans that Lao Jin boasted were gifts from the emperor. Wait, now that I think about it, some of them might be true.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Shang's heart was cut like a knife.

The price of Wenwan has not been raised this year, and in another 20 years, those "junk" that are thrown away can probably be sold for a good price.

Jin Shang, who was sighing inwardly, uncovered this, and the topic returned to Dai Yiqin's album.

In order to make Dai Yiqin's name even more resounding, there is no doubt that Nan Dabiao attaches great importance to his comeback debut album.During this period of time, whether it was song selection or recording, a lot of energy was spent, and a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed.

Because of this, the songs stuffed in the same album as "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" are definitely not bad.

It's just that, for Dai Yiqin and the Nan brothers, who are striving for excellence, it seems that it's not interesting.

"The song "First Dream" is inspirational enough, but it is not rock-and-roll, and the shock may not be enough."

Dai Yiqin asked with great interest:
"Xiao Jin is also interested in rock and roll?"

"How many of you who have played in a band don't have a rock dream in your heart? Since its birth, this thing has been associated with rebellion and showing individuality. It fits the catharsis and expression of youthful youth by arrogant young people."

Traditional music is actually a very serious subject. Whether it is domestic or foreign, after thousands of years of integration and development, a set of extremely mature music creation methods has been formed.

The birth of rock and roll was almost inevitable in the development of the times. Early rock and roll musicians broke through the tight encirclement and flourished in the music circle with strict rules and regulations. The former strengthens the latter.

Such a change has lowered the threshold of music creation a lot. The audience of serious traditional music is much smaller in comparison, and rock has become a trend pursued by non-mainstream youths in the streets and alleys.

The more repulsive the mainstream, the more rock youths like to express their intransigence with extremely shocking rhythms.

As for later rock and roll was associated with darker, negative emotions, etc., it was not that there was a problem with rock and roll, but that there was a problem with the soil in which rock and roll took root and grew.

At one time, some people even felt that the ears of Chinese people could not bear the noisy rock music. Of course, no matter in the previous life or in this life, this prejudice was overthrown by talented rock and roll youths one by one.

It's not that Chinese people don't like rock, but they don't like rock that deviates too far from their own values.Rock and roll music nurtured by a foreign cultural background is indeed unacceptable when it spreads to China, and it can still become popular.

As for how to carry forward domestic rock and roll, that is another level of question.

For Dai Yiqin, being a popular singer all over the country is already considered a success, but if he really wants to gain a firm foothold in the music circle, straighten his back, and withstand the pressure of those traditional musicians, he must gain a lot. A large number of diehard and fanatical rock fans waved the flag for themselves.

A past artist who has become popular and inherited the popularity and influence of the past will naturally attract criticism from the past.

The "black fans" back then were able to scold Dai Yiqin for almost retiring from the circle, would they think that Dai Yiqin who has come back is provoking them?

Vanity Fair, anything is possible.

While several people were talking, Nan Dabiao asked the bar staff to bring a guitar, and Jin Shang took it unceremoniously, played and sang by himself, and played "The First Dream" again.

With a little alcohol, Jin Shang's performance was a little wild, but it still showed the characteristics of this song.

"Indeed, it is a very inspiring and good song."

Dai Yiqin applauded in admiration.

Judging by the standards of a young man playing tickets, Jin Shang's performance is quite satisfactory, not bad, but not too good; what stands out is the song "First Dream", Jin Shang's relatively immature playing and singing , cannot hide the beauty of its melody.

"It turned out to be like this."

The first time I heard Jin Shang finished the whole song, Jin Shi also said with great emotion,
"It has both a sense of age and fashion. Even a middle-aged man who is over [-] years old thinks it is very good. If Xiaoshang didn't start his own business, he might have achieved something in the mixed music industry."

Of course, there are also shortcomings. As Jin Shang said, the songs are of high quality and have impact, but they are not outstanding enough, not as strong as rock rhythms.

Nan Dabiao and Dai Yiqin looked at each other, nodded secretly, and said to Jin Shang:
"Let Xiao Dai sing this song. The conditions are still the same as before. You are not an outsider, and you will never treat Xiao Shang badly. If there is a good song in the future, I will show it to Uncle Da Biao in advance..."

“Rock and Roll Best!”

Dai Yiqin interjected half jokingly and half solemnly,
"There are so few good rock songs these days, and many half-understood fans in the industry are lamenting that rock is dead. This is bullshit. Rock advocates freedom more, and requires more talent from rockers. Blindly showing individuality, promoting non-mainstream, divorced from the masses, and deserved to be abandoned."
