Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

This time Hong Kong invited mainland musicians to attend the meeting. Besides Yu Dongqing, the other one was Liu Weici.

Yu Dongqing knew about it in advance, but the relationship between the two was not good and they did not contact each other privately. It was normal for them to meet now.

Even if the normal relationship is not good, the due etiquette should still be maintained. Yu Dongqing nodded politely as a greeting and was about to pass by, but Liu Weici unexpectedly stopped him.

"Mr. Yu, please wait."

Yu Dongqing stopped and looked at each other.

"Mr. Yu, don't rush upstairs yet. How about we chat for a few words? I'm just waiting for you here." Liu Weici stood up and said.

What do we have to talk about?

However, he was still a little surprised to hear that the other party was waiting for him, so he nodded, walked over and sat on the sofa next to him.

"Mr. Yu, I believe you also know something. This time we participate in this seminar, someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, which will be detrimental to you and me."

Yu Dongqing knew what he was implying.

But from his tone, it seemed that he was not going to hold a seminar but to attend the Hongmen Banquet.

Yu Dongqing felt funny in her heart, but still nodded.

"I'm waiting for you specially to say that although there are some gaps between you and me, it's all a trivial matter! Now that you and I have come to Xiangjiang, we should put aside our grudges, share the same hatred, and unite to the outside world. This has a bearing on the face of our mainland music scene!"

Looking at Liu Weici's serious look, Yu Dongqing replied: "You are right! We should unite."

"Let's go up." Liu Weici had a smile on his face.

Yu Dongqing and Liu Weici took the elevator upstairs to the 24th floor. Under the guidance of the staff, they were stopped by a group of people as soon as they reached the door of the conference room.

It's a reporter.

In addition to the participants, there were also media reporters.

Seeing Yu Dongqing and Liu Weici coming at the same time, the reporters immediately focused their cameras on them.

Didn't it mean that Yu Dongqing and Liu Weici were at odds?

Why are we talking and laughing now like old friends?

A female reporter squeezed forward and picked up the microphone and pointed it at them and said: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Liu, I am Lin Meiwen, reporter of Xiangjiang Universal TV Station. Welcome to Hong Kong. As a famous musician from the mainland, would you like to compare the popularity of Hong Kong and the mainland? What do you think about music?”

Lin Meiwen?

She seems to be the female reporter who interviewed Huang Qihui?

Yu Dongqing went to the Internet to read this interview, and the reporter was called by this name.

I really like to create conflicts, lest the world not be in chaos.

And deliberately dug a small hole for us to jump into?

Yu Dongqing didn't bother to think too much and said directly: "I think everyone has their own strengths. We should learn from each other and make up for our weaknesses. This time we came with a learning attitude."

"Then what are the strengths of mainland music venues?"

"There is a wide range of music forms and themes. We not only have the usual popular songs but also folk songs, rock and roll, etc." Yu Dongqing replied.

"But some people say that folk music and rock music are too niche and cannot be considered popular music that the public likes." Lin Meiwen replied.

"That means he doesn't understand folk music and rock, let alone what pop music is!"

There was a bit of gunpowder in Yu Dongqing's words, and those present immediately understood who he was talking about.

Lin Meiwen felt happy.

It's better to say the name, it will be more exciting!

So he asked again: "Mr. Yu, can you tell me specifically who it is?"

Yu Dongqing looked at her and smiled slightly: "You just said, "Is there someone in the rock and roll folk music niche? Who do you think it is?" ! "

ah? !

Lin Meiwen did not expect that the opponent would kick the ball over.

Huang Qihui.

But in public, Lin Meizhen couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would really be sowing discord.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think?" Lin Meiwen suddenly looked at Liu Weici.

"I completely agree with Mr. Yu!" Liu Weici said quickly, but he was muttering in his heart.

Rock, folk music. It seems that mainland pop music is being snatched away by Hong Kong at this point. Music styles and types are diversified.

But this is what you, Yu Dongqing, are good at.

I don't know that!

But how can you tear down the other party's station in front of reporters?

Just now I was talking downstairs about the two of them wanting to unite.

This is peat.

Liu Weici felt very depressed.

Seeing that Lin Meizhen couldn't get anything out of her, she suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Liu, I have another question." According to rumors, some people say that you two are at odds. Is that true? "

"That's purely a rumor!" This time Liu Weici was the first to speak: "We are both musicians, have the same hobbies, and often communicate together. Our relationship is like old friends, aren't we holly?"

Liu Weici finally called Dongqing affectionately and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes! To say that we just have ulterior motives is slander!" Yu Dongqing also smiled and agreed.

Not long after Lin Meizhen's interview, staff members came to intervene because the meeting was about to start and asked reporters and other irrelevant personnel to leave.

Yu Dongqing and Liu Weici entered the conference room, where several people were already sitting. In addition to Xia Wenxi, whom he knew as the host of the meeting, he also saw a middle-aged man sitting by the window opposite the round table.

It was Huang Qihui.

I don’t know if Huang Qihui heard the interview that Yu Dongqing and the others were doing outside the door just now. When he saw them, his expressions were not very good.

Yu Dongqing pretended not to notice, then greeted Xia Wenxi, and the three of them chatted for a while.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Liu, welcome to Xiangjiang." Xia Wenxi said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, we come here with a learning attitude." Yu Dongqing was very humble.

"Haha, let's learn from each other. We also want to hear mainland musicians' views on Hong Kong pop music. We hope you won't be disturbed by the Internet some time ago and can speak freely."

"I will, I will"

Under the guidance of the staff, the two sat next to the round table, just opposite Huang Qihui.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the exchange symposium officially started.

There are about twenty people from Hong Kong participating in this symposium on the development of pop music in Hong Kong, including three generations of old, middle-aged and young people who are all famous musicians active in the Hong Kong music scene.

In addition to Yu Dongqing and Liu Weici from the mainland, three musicians from Wanwan also came. Everyone discussed the current situation of popular music in Hong Kong and how to develop it in the future. The atmosphere was very lively.

Yu Dongqing frowned more and more as he listened, feeling a little regretful.

This is not a seminar and exchange meeting, it is purely a praise and self-praise meeting!

The current Hong Kong pop music is not like the original time and space, which has declined and is still in the stage of prosperity. Whether it is Bayan or mainland pop music, it is still unable to compete with them.

This has inadvertently encouraged the arrogance and pride of some local musicians.

It can be seen from their speeches that they are all very ambitious and believe that the Hong Kong Pop Concert will be even better tomorrow.

Especially Huang Qihui, who is eloquent and eloquent, but how can he escape the principle of burning oil in the fire, blooming flowers, and losing money when the moon is full, and overflowing when the water is full?

Not to mention the influence of external factors such as economy, culture, politics, etc., as far as Cantonese songs themselves are concerned, do they not have their own shortcomings?

of course not.

But Yu Dongqing was too lazy to say anything.

People don’t like to hear it anyway.

But Liu Weici, who was sitting next to him, didn't think so. He couldn't wait to stand up after the Xiangjiang musicians finished speaking.

"My colleagues, Cantonese songs do have their advantages, but I think they have at least the following shortcomings."
