Xiangjiang has two major wireless stations, Xiangjiang Satellite TV and Asia Television, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized cable stations. It launches countless variety entertainment programs every year, including various reality talent competitions.
However, there has never been a competition specifically for original pop music, so Mrs. Kim’s previous initiative was not recognized by many people, and she felt that she was a bit whimsical.
However, Liu Gangsheng's support and participation made this whimsical idea suddenly very feasible. He is willing to serve as a judge, and I am afraid that both satellite TV and ATV will rush to host it.
You know, as the top celebrity in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Liu Gangsheng rarely appears in variety shows, and at most he appears in high-end interview programs.
His firm attitude makes people speculate that this king may have had the same idea.
What is really surprising is not Liu Gangsheng's statement, but his appreciation for Lu Chen!
Liu Gangsheng has always had a reputation in the industry for being willing to support newcomers, and many popular stars have been recommended and recognized by him.
However, his appreciation for Lu Chen obviously exceeded the ordinary level.
Letting Lu Chen name this competition and sincerely inviting Lu Chen to serve as a judge is tantamount to elevating Lu Chen to a position almost equal to his!
How could He De, a young artist from the Mainland, be so favored by King Liu Tianwang?
The gazes he cast on Lu Chen included those of shock, confusion, jealousy, and were so hot that they seemed to melt gold and iron!
If it were any other Xiangjiang artist, even if he was originally unknown, as long as the news spreads, he would definitely appear in a prominent position or even the headlines of major entertainment sections, becoming famous overnight.
It’s like a big pie falling from the sky!
Lu Chen himself was surprised, and even felt a little incredible, but what he saw in Liu Gangsheng's eyes was true appreciation and sincerity.
"Thank you, Brother Sheng"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll start by giving you a name. How about calling it "Xiangjiang New Song"?"
"Hong Kong's new song?"
Liu Gangsheng's eyes lit up and he nodded in approval: "This is a good name, easy to understand, and has a good meaning."
"You all, tell me, how about using "Xiangjiang New Song"?"
King Liu Tianwang has approved and praised it, who can not say bad things about it? Besides, the name is really good, it is simple, straightforward and catchy, which is very conducive to publicity and promotion.
"Not bad, not bad!" "Xiangjiang's new song, good name!" "I agree!"
The gaze he looked at Lu Chen became more and more intense. If the original music talent competition "Hong Kong New Song" can really be held and be successful, then Lu Chen will undoubtedly engrave his name in the history of Hong Kong pop music.
He left an indelible mark on the music scene.
Liu Gangsheng was very satisfied: "Since everyone supports it, let's use this name!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from around him.
More and more guests gathered around Lu Chen and Liu Gangsheng. Almost all the people in the circle gathered around. When they understood the ins and outs of the matter, they all felt like they were witnessing history.
Lu Chen said: "I would like to make a suggestion. I believe that the specifications of "New Sings of Hong Kong" must be the highest, and we cannot be stingy in terms of rewards. Therefore, on behalf of Lu Chen Studio, I will donate 5 million as the competition reward fund."
One of the characteristics of Hong Kong's talent show is that the rewards are quite stingy. Even in the most popular Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia competitions, the reward for the winner does not exceed one million, and at most it is only in terms of reputation.
As for other ordinary talent shows, tens of thousands are considered to be very good, and the invited guests and judges only receive an announcement fee, which is completely incomparable with the situation in the mainland.
"Xiangjiang New Singing" aims to encourage and support originality. If there are no generous rewards, how can we attract more capable and talented singers and authors to participate enthusiastically?
It is not enough to rely solely on Liu Gangsheng's signature. It is said that under heavy rewards there must be brave men. This is a truth that has never been changed through the ages.
It's just that his good suggestion made many people present feel a little embarrassed. They know their own affairs and the virtues of Xiangjiang TV. How could they, the insiders, not understand it?
Liu Gangsheng smiled and said: "Then Hong Kong Media donated 10 million!"
Gangsheng Media is Liu Gangsheng's own company, which is basically similar in nature to the studio, but is larger in scale.
Lu Chen has donated 5 million. As a top celebrity in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and a superstar in the pop music world, it is impossible for him to donate less than Lu Chen.
10 million!
Everyone present knew that Liu Gangsheng was serious this time, because he never told lies.
Mrs. Jin then said with a smile: "Then our Mrs. Jin Entertainment will also support five million."
That’s 20 million!
Even as a reward fund, this figure is quite dazzling, not to mention it is just the beginning.
Many people couldn't stand immediately and immediately expressed their opinions.
"We at Oriental Records support one million!"
"I personally support half a million!"
"Chen's Media supports one million!"
"us"
Filia Chen smiled and said: "I personally support two million."
Just for those who expressed their support on the spot, the total amount has steadily exceeded 50 million. There are still many people who need to report to their respective companies, and the amount will definitely increase in the future.
This music salon with the theme of "The Past, Present and Future of Hong Kong Pop Music" turned into a fundraiser for an original talent show, which made people feel a little bit ridiculous.
However, if we explore the essence through the appearance, although there is a large accidental component in such a situation, there are also inevitable factors.
That is the musicians in Xiangjiang. They are very worried about the present and future of popular music in Xiangjiang. They are also seeking changes and explorations. The emergence of "New Songs in Xiangjiang" comes at the right time.
There is another reason that most people cannot explain, which is to learn from the mainland.
"We at ATV are willing to host "The Voice of Hong Kong" with high standards!"
At this time, a middle-aged man squeezed out from the crowd and said loudly: "Guaranteed to have the same specifications as the Asian sister selection!"
Everyone recognized that this middle-aged man was Liu Hanyang, the music director of ATV Variety Channel.
"Haha, can Sister Asia compare with Sister Hong Kong?"
Before he finished speaking, another slightly hoarse voice immediately sounded: "Such a program should be hosted by our satellite TV to have the best effect!"
Opposing Liu Hanyang was a short and stocky man.
And this is Li Mingyuan, the producer of Xiangjiang TV Music Channel!
