Six hundred and seventieth chapters save the Cantonese music scene
Hong Kong Island Entertainment Circle.
This is a circle that once dominated an era of Asia with brilliant stars shining.
Although the mainland's entertainment industry has been seriously weakened and has lost its dominance as it used to be.
However, the most glorious generation of kings in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have not yet completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry.
Although these glorious and golden generation Hong Kong kings are now almost fifty years old, there are still many active in the entertainment industry.
After all, Hong Kong artists are really famous for their dedication.
It also has something to do with the small places in Hong Kong and the living environment of artists that were not very good.
At that time, the four kings in the Hong Kong music scene, two Zhang and one Liu, are still half of them are still active. They always participate in the program three or five times a year and appear in front of audiences across the country.
Although the remaining half has been half retired and enjoys a semi-retired life at home, it only takes a call once a year or two, it is precisely because their exposure has decreased that many Chinese people who have experienced that glorious era miss them very much.
I have to say that the planning project of "Cantonese King of Singers" was just right.
If most Hong Kong and Taiwan artists were still active in front of the Taiwan stage a few years ago, they were not as good as "memory killing".
If I were a few years later, then the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s who have experienced the influence of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles will almost completely lose their popularity. The world has become the world of the 2000s, and no one will remember the golden generation of the Hong Kong entertainment circle back then.
But now, it just happened to be a time when the Hong Kong music scene was glorious for a few years, and the public still missed and reluctant to leave them.
If Guangdong Provincial Satellite TV set up a program like this, it seems that it is really interesting.
In the conference room of Guangdong Provincial Satellite TV, the leaders participating in the conference kept whispering to each other, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time.
A long time later, a bald leader wearing glasses said with some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Gu, your planning plan does sound good."
"But just painting big cakes is not enough."
"Didn't you say that our Taiwan will seize the advantage of Cantonese in the future and take the special route of our Taiwan?"
"But if this show invites all the old seniors who resounded in the Hong Kong entertainment industry back then, although there are gimmicks, it's just nostalgia!"
"When the program is over, the audience will do whatever they should do. They will only remember that our station created a program that brings together the old seniors in the Hong Kong music scene."
"Look at the "King of Singers" next door. Every season, young people who are just starting out compete in the arena or make up for the seats as guests."
"Every season, one or two excellent new generation singers will emerge, and they are well-known and accepted by the public."
"If we want to revitalize the Cantonese music scene, we must also invite some new generation of Cantonese singers to participate in this program. It is best to launch a few new generation of singers who can represent the Cantonese music scene!"
"There are always a few seniors from Hong Kong Island. No matter how powerful they have, they are yesterday's glory. The past is glorious and cannot be relied on for a long time!"
"We should rely on this program and the influence of these old kings in Hong Kong and Taiwan to discover a new generation that can take over for the Cantonese music scene that is not popular in the Cantonese music industry!"
Nearly half of the middle and senior executives of Guangdong TV station present were from Guangdong Province.
And most of them are up to the age of 40 and have completely experienced the glory of the Hong Kong entertainment industry back then.
They also like the popular Cantonese songs that were sung all over the country.
If they have the opportunity to revitalize the Cantonese music scene and have new and excellent Cantonese songs appear, they will naturally be happy.
After all, people in Guangdong Province do not support Cantonese songs, so who else can I expect to support them?
Therefore, they were a little unsatisfied with the invitation of only the Golden Generation of Hong Kong Island in this planning case.
This will indeed be very gimmick, but it will only have nostalgia and will not have any positive effects on the development of the Cantonese music scene.
There are these old faces every year, and there is no fresh blood, so how can it be!
Gu Bei, who submitted the plan, muttered in a low voice: "I clearly included in the non-closing band on the guest list."
"They are local bands in our Guangdong Province, and they also have representative works in Cantonese."
"The most important thing is that they are very young, just graduated from college."
Hearing him say this, the bald leader burst into laughter.
"Xiao Gu, don't you think the band is still a new generation without closing, right?"
"Although they are really young, they can no longer be defined by words such as the new generation, the Mesozoic generation, the older generation, etc."
"They are unique, not only their popularity, but also their positioning in the circle."
"The only band in China that is famous all over the world is top-notch. You don't want them to represent the Cantonese music scene and be the leader in the Cantonese music scene, right?"
He sighed and said with a pity: "Although I hope this is the case, in fact, the Cantonese music industry is really not worthy of catching up with other people's high points."
"There is a Chinese music scene in China and an Asian music scene in the international community. It has become so weak that only a few kittens are left, so it is really not worthy of making inlay flowers for others."
"It's not certain whether you can invite others to participate in the show."
"I heard from colleagues in the circle that their invitations to Rainbow Project were rejected, saying that the band's next trip was very full and they were going to hold a world tour, and there were dozens of events at the same time."
"So don't expect them."
"It is harder to invite a band that is open now than to invite the four kings of Hong Kong Island and two Zhang Yiliu Quan."
"Yes." Master nodded in agreement and interrupted: "Xiao Gu's idea is still good."
"But the planning project needs to be changed."
"We can learn from Youtai's successful experience."
"On the one hand, we can learn CCTV. If we want to do it, we will create a Cantonese original song type program, and invite the long-famous Cantonese queens to bring their new songs to compete on the same stage."
"This can also bring some new Cantonese songs to the music industry. Now, there has been no excellent Cantonese songs in the Chinese music industry for a long time."
"In addition, you can also learn the ways of "Singer" on Mango TV!"
"We not only want to invite old seniors, but also new generations."
"Although the Hong Kong music scene is declining now, picking and choosing can still select a few excellent new generation singers. You can ask them to challenge the old seniors in the form of a kick-start!"
"This can also discover some new generation of Cantonese singers. What if they can produce a "Lei Tiger"?"
Lei Laohu, who was mentioned by the director, is a dark horse in the second season of Mango TV's "King of Singers". As an unknown niche singer, he not only succeeded in playing the studio, but also won the King of Singers of the season!
He was the most popular singer in China that year, and his popularity lasted for two or three years. Until now, he is still a stable top-tier popular singer!
If this "Cantonese King" can bring out another leading figure in the Cantonese music industry, then the subsequent series of special programs centered around Cantonese in Guangdong will be a big deal!
