The meeting place was a noodle restaurant on the Bund, which Pang Xi had booked. After all, he was entertaining executives from a large company, so he was not very particular about cost-effectiveness. Yang Jingxing also introduced Huang Qianchi in advance. This director named Tang Shengfan was different from those stupid people like Hongxing, so he should still be there.

He is less than forty years old. He graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a master's degree and has worked in newspapers, magazines, television and online media. He is an expert at job-hopping. However, compared to Zhou Shenjian who can say with a clear conscience which famous artists he has participated in the creation of, Tang Shengfan can only be regarded as

Experienced some once famous platforms.

Yang Jingxing must at least affirm Tang Shengfan's industry acumen. He can judge what is not going to work and what is going to be popular. He is good at following the trend. If there is an opportunity, it would be great to invite such industry seniors to communicate with Eyang and his colleagues.

Speaking of exchange classes, Huang Qianchi also suggested that the company should review and require more lecturers in the future, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of having to fight on stage and off stage again...

It is said to be a high-end restaurant but there is no dedicated parking space. Yang Jingxing took him around to a nearby hotel before he found one. Thirty yuan an hour is really an inch of time and an inch of gold. Pang Xi also told him that they had arrived earlier, so he went even faster.

Click here to talk about our preliminary thoughts on standardizing "extra-class classes" in Eyang.

The restaurant is on the fourth floor of an old building, but Yang Jingxing saw people far away from the gate. The other party also noticed a few of them and strode down the steps.

When they met for the first time, it was like a victory meeting. The two men reached out to each other a few meters apart. However, they didn't really look like strangers. Yang Jingxing was still a young man who went shopping with his girlfriend in the morning and was dressed cheaply. On the other side, he was wearing a suit, leather shoes, and a dazzling watch.

Yang Jingxing: "Hello Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Tang Shengfan also waved his hand with certainty, but only smiled politely: "Mr. Yang, you're welcome, we have just arrived."

Yang Jingxing changed the person in time: "Long time no see, Miss Shang."

Shang Qi Hong was very bright: "Hello, Mr. Yang."

Tang Shengfan went to Pang Xi and said, "This must be Miss Pang..." His tone became affectionate.

Pang Xi was also enthusiastic and introduced Huang Qianchi to the other party. Shang Qihong followed the leader closely and praised Miss Pang for being more beautiful than her voice while waiting for Huang Qianchi's turn.

Tang Shengfan praised the music topic on Ruge.com and then turned to face Yang Jingxing who was laughing with him and reduced his expression: "Mr. Yang, please."

"Please." Yang Jingxing would also be polite: "I should have made an appointment at work..."

Go directly upstairs, the man enters the private room, and the woman should negotiate about the food and drinks outside. The private room area is very limited, but they still find a way to set up a small coffee table and sofa. Yang Jingxing invites the seniors again and steals the waiter's job of pouring tea: "

Mr. Tang is from Guangzhou?"

"Thank you." Tang Shengfan actually has no accent: "Yes, I was born in Qingyuan, went to Guangzhou for junior high school, and studied undergraduate and graduate studies in library and information science at Sun Yat-sen University."

What Yang Jingxing meant was: "I don't know if the food here is to your liking."

"Very good." Tang Shengfan carefully held the tea cup and seemed to observe it, and was surprised to find: "I thought that Cantonese cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine have something in common. Outside of Puhai, I have more opportunities to go to Quhang..."

Not long after, three women came in. The two men stopped talking about eating and drinking and invited each other's people to sit down. However, there were only four small sofas squeezed against the wall. Huang Qianchi and Shang Qihong rushed to move the chairs.

Tang Shengfan seemed to be in high spirits: "Where is Miss Huang from?"

"Jinshan." Huang Qianchi smiled.

Tang Shengfan didn't seem to understand much and could only nod his head in understanding.

Yang Jingxing remembered: "The last time Miss Shang asked me about it, Xiao Qiao went to Hongxing once. Cheng Yaoyao hosted her that day, and I was there, but there was no personal contact, so I don't know her current situation."

Shang Qihong nodded vigorously, "I know Mr. Yang's style and personality. Xiao Qiao may need to rest and adjust. Director Tang said that Xiao Qiao is a very good singer. I sincerely hope that she will develop better. We all wish her the best."

I just want to find an opportunity to chat with her. Apart from the unsatisfactory things we already know, what other opinions and suggestions do singers and artists have for our work?"

Pang Xi can understand: "In such a large company, many things cannot be controlled by one link or one department."

Shang Qihong nodded and also wanted to explain: "In fact, the boss of Shengtian and several directors are very capable and work very hard. The management is very experienced and capable. The company treats the people below well. In 2070, we really

I believe that Shengtian can become the flagship aircraft carrier of China’s entertainment industry and want to rush out of the country and out of Asia. At the annual meeting of 2,000 people, the big boss’s speech made many colleagues so excited that they shed tears.”

Pang Xide admitted: "Everyone had great confidence in Shengtian at that time."

"I was a workaholic in those years." Shang Qihong was quite nostalgic: "At most, the music department had one album a month and several concerts a week..."

We can't let our subordinates have the right to speak. Tang Shengfan invited: "I would like to ask Mr. Yang a question. If you were Xiao Qiao's producer, what would you do?"

Are these sentences clear? Yang Jingxing can only say: "After communicating with the singer to understand enough..."

"Of course." Tang Shengfan nodded: "I have no doubt about Mr. Yang's talent, but frankly

It is said that during the competition between Cheng Yaoyao and Xiao Qiao, we were not convinced at first, but only after paying a considerable amount of money did we understand what should be said to be a very simple truth, that is, everything should be done at the right time."

Yang Jingxing didn't quite understand: "Mr. Tang, can you be more specific?"

Tang Shengfan was unconvinced: "Xiao Qiao's starting point and foundation are very good, so we have a relatively high position for her..."

Yes, it was very expensive for Shengtian to produce the album for Xiao Qiao. Taiwanese producers, songwriters from all over Asia, and European and American arrangers, not to mention the top in the industry, are at least an advanced team with an international perspective, so Tang Shengfan thinks it is a musical concept

Being too advanced leads to incompatibility with the current situation of the local market...

Yang Jingxing asked: "Mr. Tang said that he is ahead of his time, does he mean that the local market will develop in that direction?"

"Inevitable." Tang Shengfan was convinced: "The backward people must learn from the advanced ones. Survival of the fittest is survival instinct."

Yang Jingxing was interested: "How to judge this backwardness and advancement?"

"Influence, creativity." Tang Shengfan answered fluently: "There are many measurement dimensions, just looking at these two points is enough. Mr. Yang himself is the benchmark in the industry in this regard."

"What's the purpose?" Yang Jingxing also thought: "What will it affect? ​​What will it create?"

Tang Shengfan thought for a moment: "...culture."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Isn't it all just to make a few bucks? It sounds so nice."

It was really vulgar, but a few people still laughed. Tang Shengfan also nodded: "Of course, individually speaking, most people do it for life."

Yang Jingxing said more seriously: "Mr. Tang is not a musician, and the concept of music is too general. I understand that the concept Mr. Tang talks about should be industrial value, which means spending more money and using more advanced technology. In fact, it is not.

Xiao Qiao's two albums in Shengtian are technically backward, and most of them are from the 1990s..."

Today's meeting and dinner was not very harmonious. Although they drank tea first and then wine, the two sides basically talked about differences. Tang Shengfan originally wanted to praise 402, although it is fully capable of making "Le Zong", which is in line with international advanced standards.

Although the song wisely lowered its stature to adapt to the market conditions, Yang Jingxing believes that "Le Zong" is a simple copy of the model, while "Childish Still" is based on the local market and strives for innovation, which is the real test of the level.

Tang Shengfan questioned that 402's "one-song-famous" model based on personal talent cannot be replicated and promoted, and it can easily lead to bad trends, making artists always want to take shortcuts. Yang Jingxing also feels that the current market is in the initial stage of exploring shortcuts and needs to be proven through the process.

Only when shortcuts are no longer advisable can we be more down-to-earth. What many people, including myself, do is just speed up the process a little.

Tang Shengfan said that it is precisely because we are in the primary stage that we need to learn to accept the advanced experience of others and integrate with the world as soon as possible. The same goes for technology and culture. Yang Jingxing insisted that technology and culture are different. If everyone wants to have a good material life, they can hold the same money.

Spiritual life is about seeking differences, so a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Among all walks of life, the one that is least afraid of competition and least in need of rushing to integrate into the world is the cultural industry.

Tang Shengfan said that history since the Renaissance has proved that... Yang Jingxing did not know how to evaluate Leonardo da Vinci and Shakespeare, but he dared to say without shame that Beethoven and Mozart's artistic achievements or so-called contributions to mankind were not as great as their reputations...

After all, one thing has to be admitted, that is, popular culture is dependent on the times, but the debate about what kind of era it belongs to now is even greater.

Although Tang Shengfan's eloquence was not flexible enough, he was obviously well prepared. He had a good understanding of 402 or famous composers and put forward targeted opinions one after another. Yang Jingxing had to say suddenly: "It's a quarter past eight...

…”

Want to run away? Tang Shengfan would not give up. He sent Mr. Yang to the parking lot all the way and kept talking about what he had and didn't have. He also wanted to make an appointment for next week, and even expressed his willingness to do his best to do something for the release of the "Easy" album.

So we must drink and talk again.

The young male driver arranged by Pang Xi seemed to be new to the industry. He had a lot of courtesy and good manners, but his skills were not very good. He parked the car while looking at the screen and hit it several times. He Peiyuan had already come downstairs to tell him not to stop.

As soon as his girlfriend said that the bag was filled with egg dumplings and egg rolls, Yang Jingxing had to go upstairs to greet his elders. He Peiyuan was a little shy. Was she going to be taken away in front of her parents so late?

The elders are not so boring. They care about the work of young people. How was the person they met in the evening? What did they talk about?

Yang Jingxing said that he is not bad, he has experienced big events and met big people, he is not ashamed to ask questions, and his thinking is not rigid, but he is really not suitable for music.

He Peiyuan's point of view is that it would be unreasonable for a company like Shengtian not to collapse. The last remake of a movie that was a complete waste of her and her partners' money and time was produced by Shengtian. It used so much money to make such a bad movie.

Things are so hyped and the box office is not as good as "Happy Dog". What are these people putting in their heads? There are even worse ones who invest huge sums of money to let their actors appear in the so-called big Hollywood productions.

In fact, they are just some B-grade popcorn chips that cannot be ranked high, and they are not cheap at all.

Yang Jingxing protected his girlfriend from being criticized by her elders: "Yuanyuan said

It makes sense. I have told them this point of view before. At least their efforts have proved that this road is blocked and it is also a contribution, but they don’t seem to understand..."

"You have been with this kind of person for so many years?" He Peiyuan was talking about Shang Qihong. She wanted to know: "Can you tell what the relationship is?"

Of course Yang Jingxing shook his head: "It's nothing different."

Fan Yali and her daughter have one thing in mind: Do they both have families?"

Yang Jingxing also found out that the director had two children. The older one was six years old and the younger one was four years old. They were both studying in Hong Kong. The assistant was married and had no children yet.

Fan Yali thinks that Pang Xi is almost thirty. She wonders if young people today are under too much pressure. Many of their old colleagues and friends are similar to Li Shunkai when it comes to children, and few are willing to start a family...

He Peiyuan was in a hurry to leave without even chatting for a while. The reason was that she had the courage to prepare the music materials before going to work tomorrow. The elders did not ask whether it was true or not and just told her to drive carefully.

He Peiyuan has the right to look down on those who do not strive for advancement. At this time in the afternoon, with the help of a few music sheets taken on her mobile phone, she can now sing the song "Your Happy Years Are with Me" while driving, and even pursues the details.

It's been dealt with. As for the overall stiff performance, it's due to limited talent and not a matter of attitude.

Yang Jingxing was so drunk in the passenger seat that he no longer wanted to be a safety officer.

After arriving at the International Garden and entering the house, He Peiyuan kissed her twice symbolically and rushed to record it again. She wanted to release the finished product to the public as soon as possible. The reason for the announcement was also well prepared, just to let her partners discuss this.

In terms of song creation direction, 306 does lack vocal works.

He Peiyuan also suggested to Lao Qi that she should give her ex-boyfriend a piano in the group...

It was eight o'clock on Monday, March 21st, when Yang Jingxing sat down in the Puyin Piano Art Center office after a long absence. He Peiyuan should still be in bed. Director Yang first took a look at the reports and documents accumulated on the table, and he

I have been absent or about to miss lectures, conferences, concerts, etc. It is really easy to offend people when there is so much business, and Lu Kaiping is probably too busy to handle it.

Song Yining, a third-year music student in the music education department, sent the sheet music in a brown paper bag and put it in a drawer. The teacher who transferred it had called and told Yang Jingxing to take a good look at it.
To be continued...
