In the traditional media circle in Hong Kong, there is no doubt that Xiangjiang Satellite TV and ATV are real enemies.
The grievances between the two wireless overlords can be traced back decades. The entanglement between them can be enough to make a story-length drama with hundreds of episodes. The competition between them has been throughout the history of Hong Kong TV screens.
It is normal for the guests attending this Bell Tower Music Salon to include people from Satellite TV and ATV. Whether it is Liu Hanyang, the music director of ATV Variety Channel, or Li Mingyuan, the producer of Satellite TV Music Channel, they can be regarded as part of the Hong Kong pop music scene.
As musicians, no one is a fool to be in their respective positions now.
It originated from Lu Chen's topic, Mrs. Jin's idea, and then Liu Gangsheng's expression of support, and finally evolved into a grand event in which Hong Kong musicians participated. Both Liu Hanyang and Li Mingyuan keenly smelled the opportunity.
When it comes to variety shows, Satellite TV and ATV are undoubtedly the best organizers. Every year, the ratings of Satellite TV's Hong Kong Miss Selection and ATV's Asian Miss Selection have never been lower than 20%.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the ratings of the two major "sisters" selections are declining year by year. Last year, the ratings of the final round of the Miss Hong Kong selection once touched the bottom line of 20%. Hong Kong Satellite TV spent a lot of effort and resources to finally not break the limit.
The red line.
The situation of the Asian sister selection is not much better either.
The reason is very simple. Under the impact of the Internet trend, traditional media are not having an easy time. After decades of selection of Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia, there are no new tricks, and the audience is beginning to get tired of it.
Under such circumstances, seeking novelty has become the pursuit of the program staff of the two major wireless stations.
"Xiangjiang New Singing" is undoubtedly an excellent program.
It has ideas, funding sources, and the support of kings like Liu Gangsheng
It’s hard to fail!
It's like a golden hen that just popped out of the wild. Who wouldn't want to take it home?
Liu Hanyang and Li Mingyuan suddenly turned into aggressive cocks, glaring at each other and refusing to give in.
If anyone misses out on this promising draft competition, it will be difficult for whoever returns to explain.
The smell of gunpowder between the two is getting stronger and stronger.
Liu Gangsheng was still experienced, and he smiled and came to the rescue: "You two don't argue for the time being. "Hong Kong New Sing" is just a preliminary idea. It's best for you to make a plan first, and then let everyone see whose plan is better.
Whichever one you choose, what do you think?"
Liu Tianwang is worthy of being Liu Tianwang. He easily resolved the dispute between the two and set a new benchmark for "Xiangjiang New Song", which greatly increased its operability.
Whether it is satellite TV or ATV, whichever has an excellent plan will be chosen. Supporters of the project will vote on the plan, which is fair and reasonable.
Liu Hanyang and Li Mingyuan had nothing to say, and the guests present all applauded and agreed.
I don’t know who started it, but warm applause rang out in the bar again, because everyone witnessed the birth of a grand event in the Hong Kong pop music scene, which is likely to change the future of the Hong Kong music scene.
Lu Chen, Filia Chen, Liu Gangsheng and Mrs. Jin were surrounded by everyone, and the applause was given to them.
Some of the people around them are well-known singers in the music industry, some are seniors in the industry, and some are media executives. People like Ye Xuan cannot squeeze into the first two levels of circles.
As for Jiang Wei, who had previously promised to defeat Lu Chen, he could only huddle in a corner with a few friends.
Compared to Liu Gangsheng, they are not even as good as the stars under the bright moon.
Liu Gangsheng's admiration for Lu Chen made Jiang Wei's previous provocation seem ridiculous.
At this time, Guo Huaian, the host of the music salon, finally appeared and said with a smile: "Everyone, our chef has prepared today's special dishes for you. Talking is important, but eating is equally important!"
One of the traditions of the Bell Tower Music Salon is to entertain dinners, which are usually Western-style buffets. The chefs are hired by famous master chefs in Hong Kong, and these Western chefs will bring out their most popular creations during meal time.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed, everyone was chatting and laughing, and each went to taste the delicious food.
Liu Gangsheng said to Lu Chen: "How about eating something first, and then we sit down and chat?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for it more!"
Liu Gangsheng looks like he is only in his forties. He has a face that leaves a deep impression on people. He is handsome and resolute, and he has maturity and confidence accumulated over the years.
In fact, this Hong Kong celebrity is already 54 years old.
Lu Chen saw the shadow of Tan Hong in this superstar. The two were very similar in many aspects.
They both became the best in their respective fields and were so weak in winning awards that they lost interest. However, Tan Hong chose to retire early, while Liu Gangsheng was active in the music and film circles.
But fame and fortune are no longer important to this king of Hong Kong. He sincerely wants to do something practical for Hong Kong's pop music and save Cantonese pop songs that are currently in danger.
This is the most important reason why Liu Gangsheng admires Lu Chen, because what he sees in Lu Chen is the future hope of Chinese pop music.
For Lu Chen, it felt really amazing to be able to communicate face-to-face with his childhood idol like this. There was a kind of dream come true that was more than a wish fulfillment.
"I very much hope you can stay in Xiangjiang"
The king of Xiangjiang said to Lu Chen seriously: "Create more and better Cantonese songs. If you can't keep them, please create more Cantonese works in the future."
"A great song like "The Love of My Life"!"
Lu Chen nodded and replied solemnly: "I will definitely work hard."
Liu Gangsheng smiled and gave Lu Chen his personal business card: "You can come to me anytime if you need anything."
Liu Gangsheng's personal business card is rarely given to others, except for true friends.
Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "I will take a photo for you to keep as a souvenir."
Liu Gangsheng, who was about to leave first, readily agreed. Not only did he take a group photo with Lu Chen, but he also took several photos with Filia Chen and the three of them.
Then several of the photos were uploaded to her blog by Filia Chen on her mobile phone.
It immediately caused quite a stir in her and Lu Chen's fan circles.
"King Liu Tian!"
"Two handsome guys, old and new, took a photo together, so cool!"
"Ah ah, is it possible that Liu Gangsheng will also make a cameo in the new movie? I like him very much!"
"I am so talented Chen La, King Liu Tian must appreciate it very much!"
"Looking forward to my cooperation with Chenwofei and Liu Tianwang!"
"Cooperation +1"
No matter how much the Internet is buzzing, the Bell Tower Music Salon has undoubtedly become a key step for Lu Chen to integrate into the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Two days later, Filia Chen left Hong Kong after finishing all filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Lu Chen's first movie has therefore entered a rapid sprint stage.
On December 29th, "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially wrapped——
