As the first heavyweight award ceremony of the pan-entertainment industry in 2016, the end of the 16th Asian Chinese Songs Chart was undoubtedly a major event in the entertainment industry, especially in the pop music industry.
The next day, February 19, the headlines of major entertainment newspapers and websites were basically occupied by the content related to the award ceremony. All kinds of gossip and commentary articles flooded the media to bid farewell to the authoritative music awards that had lasted for more than a decade.
[After ten years of hard work, Zhang Linzhi finally won the title of Best Female Singer on the Chinese Songs Chart!]
[Chen Fei 'er lost to Zhang Linzhi and faces a difficult transition!]
[The end of an era. Tan Hong left the pop music industry with the Chinese Songs Chart!]
[Lu Chen lived up to expectations and won the Best Newcomer Award on the Golden Songs Chart.]
[First won the Best Newcomer, then won the Best Composition. The music genius Lu Chen shocked the Chinese Songs Chart!]
…
In the morning, Lu Xi deliberately emptied the file cabinet in the office and solemnly put the two Golden Lark Awards in it. She also inserted the glass of the cabinet door so that it could be seen more clearly.
This was the first time that Lu Chen had won a music award, and it was two very valuable awards.
Her sister wanted to treasure this honor of his as a memento forever.
In addition, she also posted the video clip of Lu Chen's interview with CCTV's 15th Music Channel on Lu Chen Studio's blog.
Like many star artists, there were currently three accounts related to Lu Chen on Waves's blog.
The first was Lu Chen's own account, Lu Chen FMX, which had more than 15 million fans. It was a celebrity's personal blog, and most of its blog posts were about life and entertainment.
The second was the official account of Lu Chen Studio, which was registered two months ago, with more than 3 million fans. It mainly published news related to Lu Chen, such as he was going to release a new song or participate in a certain endorsement event.
The last one was Lu Chen's fan club (Lu Jiajun), with more than 5 million fans.
The first two blogs were mainly managed by Lu Xi, especially the official V of Lu Chen Studio. Her sister personally completed the daily content updates.
The situation of the last support group was relatively more complicated. There were several managers, including Li Mubai.
With the continuous appearance of Lu Chen's music and film works, his fame grew, and his influence on the Internet and in real life also grew. In less than a year since his debut, he had faintly become an A-list celebrity.
Of course, the world was so big and complicated. It was impossible for any celebrity idol to be liked and worshipped by everyone. Just as there was light, there was darkness. There were real fans, but there were also haters. There were people who supported them, but there were also people who sold them.
On the entertainment channel of one of the largest portals in China, the headline of the day was [Best Composition on the Chinese Golden Songs Chart: The Biggest Upset or the Biggest Shady Deal?]
Among the four major portals in China, the Easy Net had always been famous for its boldness. It often stirred up sensitive controversial topics in advance to earn more traffic and attention.
Many national and current affairs, entertainment gossip, military and economic news headlines were extremely eye-catching. The editors were often unscrupulous with their personal opinions, which made a lot of jokes. Therefore, many netizens jokingly called it "Pig Farm."
For example, when reporting the Asian Chinese Golden Songs Chart, the Easy Net Entertainment Channel was obviously not willing to be the same as other media, so it directly set up Lu Chen as a target. The article attacked him by innuendo, and the title was quite shocking.
In this article, the editor first mentioned the other three composers who were nominated for the Best Composition Award, introduced the identity, qualifications, and works of Dong Zhen, Zhang Keyi, and Tang Xiya respectively, and then downplayed Lu Chen.
In this way, if readers who did not know the truth read it, they would feel that the first three were better than Lu Chen. How could Lu Chen win the Best Composition Award? Was there really a shady deal?
The article would not tell readers that in 2015, Lu Chen's works, whether in quantity or quality, had steadily surpassed the three competitors. It also did not clearly tell readers that Lu Chen won the award because of the popular song "I Love You, China."
Attacking CCTV, attacking Lu Chen, and at the same time provoking the relationship between Lu Chen and the seniors in the circle, the headline of the Easy Net Entertainment Channel almost made Lu Xi, who had just seen the news online, explode with anger. "I'm going to sue them!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Ignore them. The more you ignore them, the more fun they will make."
It was a very profound knowledge for stars and artists to deal with the media. Some stars were discredited by the media, while some stars were doted on by the media. How to put it, was it because there was a huge difference in the character and morality of the two?
The answer was completely no. Those entertainment agencies had a public relations department, which was responsible for dealing with the media. Agents of stars also had this responsibility, which was a very important daily work.
For ordinary entertainment reporters who came to interview, it was necessary to give them a red packet. For large media, sending some benefits was equivalent to paying a protection fee. In case of any scandal of a star artist, how to deal with the emergency public relations was actually very important.
Lu Chen's rise was too fast, so Lu Chen Studio really lacked a lot of experience and network accumulation in this aspect. Even if they wanted to spend money, they had to spend it in the right place. Otherwise, they would only be treated as a fool.
The headline of the Easy Net Entertainment Channel was actually a wake-up call for him.
Of course, as Lu Chen said, there was no need to pay attention to this matter at all. The more he defended and refuted, the easier it was to be discredited. As for the lawsuit, it was purely Lu Xi's angry words.
Lu Chen was really not angry. The dignified Easy Net came to discredit him, which showed that he had a bit of influence.
Easy Net was too lazy to waste its space on Tom, Dick, and Harry!
Lu Xi also understood: "In fact, they were jealous and retaliating. Our album wasn't released on Easy Net before, and our TV series weren't broadcasted by them."
EasyNet owns EasyNet games, EasyNet music, EasyNet video, EasyNet live broadcast, EasyNet YY and so on. When LuChen's album "You Who Sat Next To Me" was released online, EasyNet music also took the initiative to contact it, and the online premiere rights of "Autumn in My Heart" were also contacted by EasyNet video.
But Lu Chen chose the more powerful QQ Music and QQ Video. It would be strange if Easy Net didn't have any grudges! Even Senqi, which Lu Chen's spokesperson, advertised on the QQ portal.
If the album release of "You Who Sat Next To Me" was a mosquito's leg, but "Autumn in My Heart" was simply a big piece of fat meat. So far, the total number of views of this 20-episode TV series on QQ Video has exceeded 3.5 billion, setting the highest average number of views of a series!
Relying solely on video advertising and new members, QQ Video has made a lot of money, which made many peers envious, jealous, and hateful. Easy Net Video was undoubtedly one of them.
Now, it was normal for Easy Net to discredit Lu Chen.
Of course, the moral integrity of this kind of media is basically negative. If Lu Chen sells the online premiere rights of his new TV series to Easy Net Video, he will definitely be praised to the sky immediately!
Lu Xi said thoughtfully: "We need to hire a professional media public relations."
As mentioned earlier, Lu Chen's rise was too fast, and Lu Chen Studio couldn't keep up at all. So far, there were only two or three members. Not to mention that Lu Xi had to work hard herself, she also had no scruples in many aspects.
It was imperative to hire more professionals to join. Only in this way could Lu Chen be better supported.
Lu Chen agreed: "Then let's recruit people, and our studio will also have to change places."
Not only should the number of people be increased, but the scale of the studio should also be expanded. Lu Chen has already talked to Lu Xi about the establishment of the recording studio, and Lu Xi also agreed.
The key to determining the superstructure was the foundation. With a strong team and its own foundation, it would not be easily controlled by others.
The only question now was, where would the new studio be opened?
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, coupled with the need to build a recording studio, the new studio must have a large area of space, as well as the potential and space for follow-up development.
In the capital, where every inch of land was expensive, such a place was not easy to find, unless they moved to the outer suburbs.
Lu Xi said, "I have asked Director Lin to help me see if I can find a place in the Art Park."
The New Era Art Center was established in 2001. It was located between Haidian Park and Beijing University. It covered an area of nearly 700 mu. It was one of the key construction projects of Beijing's art and culture.
After more than ten years of development, the New Era Art Park gathered a large number of well-known domestic film and television, music, literature, and art production units. Big and small companies and studios were as many as thousands. It could be called a place where people gathered.
For Lu Chen Studio, there was no place more suitable for development than the Art Park. But the problem was that the place was too good. There was no vacant space at all, unless other companies withdrew.
This required luck and connections. Otherwise, even if there was a place to rent, it might not be a turn.
Lu Chen felt a headache thinking about it. He had promised Wang Hui to build the recording studio as soon as possible.
"I'll ask Sister Fei 'er again. She should know someone who knows about it."
Compared with Lin Zhijie of Flying Stone Records, Chen Fei 'er's connections in the circle were undoubtedly stronger.
Tap! Tap!
At this time, the door of the manager's office was gently knocked on.
Lu Xi and Lu Chen turned their heads at the same time and saw Lu Xi's assistant, Chen Xin, appear at the door and said, "Sister Lu Xi, Brother Lu Chen, Miss Chen Fei 'er is here."
Chen Fei 'er?
Lu Xi and Lu Chen looked at each other in dismay – speak of the devil and he will come!
Lu Chen immediately jumped up from his seat: "I'll go and greet him."
Previously, Chen Fei 'er called Lu Chen and knew that he was in the studio, but he didn't expect her to come directly now.
Then she must have something important to do.
