The Bell Tower Music Salon was a gathering of Hong Kong musicians, but the invitees were not limited to Hong Kong musicians. In addition to singers and songwriters, there were also many executives in the media and entertainment industry.
But in Hong Kong's pan-entertainment industry, they undoubtedly stood in a high-level position.
The atmosphere in the Music Salon was very relaxed, and there were not many rules and regulations. The initiator of the Salon would choose a theme, and then the participants would be free to express themselves, talk, discuss, and even give impromptu speeches or performances on the stage. The theme of the exchange would never change.
However, it was rare for Mrs. Jin to make a clear and unambiguous proposal here.
And this proposal was very sensitive to everyone.
Since the beginning of the new century, the domestic entertainment industry had developed rapidly. Influenced by the entertainment trend in Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, domestic reality talent shows had emerged one after another. Although there were many voices of criticism, a large number of talent show stars had emerged, and many of them were eventually promoted to A-list positions.
Many artists from Hong Kong's Treasure Island were envious of them and rushed to the mainland to fight for their lives.
On the surface, it seemed that Hong Kong's entertainment industry did not care much about this, and even a little disdainful. But in fact, many entertainment media companies had cooperated with Hong Kong TV stations to launch talent shows and singing competitions, but they either ended in failure or embarrassment, and did not have much influence.
The reasons were the lack of capital investment, the poor publicity of the TV stations, and so on.
The most typical example was the judges of talent shows. Their appearance fees were often very low, and it was difficult to attract the real big stars to participate, or even if they participated, they would not work hard.
As for the rewards won by the winner, it was not worth mentioning compared to the winner of the domestic talent show.
All kinds of problems made Hong Kong's talent shows, except for Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia, were not good enough, and had no influence in the mainland at all.
Therefore, although Mrs. Jin's proposal was lofty, it instantly caused an awkward silence.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say directly.
They each had their own positions, and each represented their own interests. It was really unrealistic to want to unite and organize a talent show with the theme of encouraging and supporting original music.
Mrs. Jin's idea was a little too idealistic.
It was not that they did not want to give face to Mrs. Jin, but this matter was really too complicated.
There were few people who agreed.
Madam Jin sighed to herself when she saw this scene. A look of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
The influence of the Bell Tower Music Salon in Hong Kong's entertainment circle was constantly weakening, which had a lot to do with the fact that most of the participants could only talk and did not know how to act. Now, it had basically become a social gathering within the circle.
What's the difference between this and other gatherings?
She had been in the entertainment industry for decades and knew the current situation in the industry like the back of her hand. Just now, after listening to Lu Chen's words, she couldn't help but stand up and really wanted to do something for Hong Kong pop music.
The result was still so disappointing.
Lu Chen said, "I think Jin's suggestion is very good. Lu Chen Studio is willing to contribute to it."
Madam Jin smiled gratefully at Lu Chen who helped her out.
It was a pity that Lu Chen came from the mainland and was destined not to belong to Xiangjiang, otherwise …
"Count me in!"
At this moment, a warm and mellow voice rang out from the crowd.
Who is it?
Everyone could understand why Lu Chen supported Madam Jin. After all, the latter had just supported the former, and the two were supporting each other.
But who agreed with Madam Jin's unreliable idea?
Everyone wanted to see.
As a result, everyone was dumbfounded!
The person who said "count me in" looked like he was in his forties. He was not tall and had a faint smile on his face, but no one present dared to look down on him.
Because this middle-aged man was the top big shot in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, the most popular Heavenly King – Liu Gangsheng!
No one expected that Liu Gangsheng would also participate in this music salon, but it was actually normal for him to appear here, because Liu Gangsheng was one of the founders of the Bell Tower Music Salon.
At that time, the young Liu Gangsheng was already one of the leading figures in Hong Kong's pop music world.
The head of the Heavenly King, the chief idol of Asia, Hong Kong's non-official Justice of the Peace, and Asian superstar …
There were too many titles and honors on this person. The voice he made, in a sense, represented the will of Hong Kong's entertainment circle, which no one could compare with!
"Brother Sheng!" "Hong Kong student!" "Mr. Liu!"
Whether in the entertainment circle or outside, regardless of their status, everyone present greeted Liu Gangsheng.
Liu Gangsheng responded to them one by one with a smile.
Under everyone's gaze, he walked in front of Lu Chen and took the initiative to reach out to the latter. "Hello."
Lu Chen quickly shook his hand. "Hello, Brother Hua!"
This was one of his idols when he was a child. Today was the first time he saw him in person, so he was really excited.
Liu Gangsheng said with a smile, "I'm here today to see a music genius like you. I'm not disappointed."
There were low exclamations of surprise around.
A music genius!
Liu Gangsheng's evaluation of Lu Chen was very high.
Lu Chen said modestly, "Brother Hua, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Liu Gangsheng nodded with a smile and looked at Chen Fei 'er. "Miss Chen, we meet again."
Chen Fei 'er reached out and said, "Hello, Brother Hua!"
She was a Heavenly Queen of the pop music world in the Mainland, but in terms of influence, she was not as influential as this person in front of her.
The two had met when they participated in a large-scale cultural performance.
Finally, Liu Gangsheng looked at Mrs. Jin and said, "Sister Jin, you will organize this competition. I can spare some time to be a judge."
Mrs. Jin was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you, Hong Kong student."
The two were old acquaintances, but they could not be regarded as real friends.
Liu Gangsheng came out to support her, obviously not because of this shallow friendship, but because of his support and love for Hong Kong's pop music.
If Mrs. Jin's previous proposal was just a flashy idea, then now with Liu Gangsheng's participation, the idea suddenly became practical and highly operable.
Many people's minds suddenly became active.
Liu Gangsheng looked at Lu Chen again and said, "Lu Chen, since Sister Jin's idea is because of you, you can think of a name for this pop music competition, and I also hope that you can be one of the judges!"
In an instant, it was as if another bomb had exploded in the crowd, and many people were shocked.
