A banquet was held in the banquet hall of Fuxing Hotel. In attendance were a deputy mayor who was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanhai Municipal Party Committee, the Minister of Propaganda, Lai Qun, the chairman of the Provincial Musicians Association, and a group of musicians from the southwest. Wang Zhonghua was the absolute core.
At this banquet, the deputy mayor frequently expressed the support of Wang Zhonghua and some musicians present for coming to Shanhai for the tourism festival and the music festival, and even used the phrase "bringing glory to my humble home".
In this era, Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment has always been ahead of the mainland. Yingchi Company, which has signed Hong Kong and Taiwan singers and artists to release records in the mainland, is well-known. In a prefecture-level city like Shanhai that has developed a tourism city strategy, if Wang Zhonghua can have a song written for Shanhai that becomes a hit, it will be a great boost to Shanhai's tourism industry. Therefore, the courtesy Wang Zhonghua received can be said to be grand.
After the meal, Wang Zhonghua and his assistant returned to the hotel room and confirmed their itinerary. After the assistant left, Wang Zhonghua stood up and stood in front of the French window, overlooking the city.
Over at the stadium, the main venue stage has begun to be built. With the main venue as the center, six venues are distributed in a semi-arc shape around it, every few hundred meters. However, due to the nature of the stage, the main venue is destined to be the core, while the branch venues can only serve as a foil.
Thinking of the banquet just now, and everyone's compliments and praise for him, Wang Zhonghua was at ease. He thought of Qin Xizhen again. In fact, he was not really a sex-hungry ghost for that woman. From Le Pinghong's recommendation and his observation, Qin Xizhen had a good foundation and good looks, and had potential. In this circle, beautiful women are resources. His position in Yingchi and his position in the music industry required him to cultivate a few people on hand to serve as a bridge for him to break through to the upper level. Therefore, in this case, what he actually pursued was good control.
How can you control Qin Xizhen, a woman who just stepped out of the ivory tower of the music school? Just by giving her resources and supporting her? The other party can only say that they are grateful to you, but they may not be under your control. What is more direct than occupying a woman physically and conquering her body and mind
Wang Zhonghua always looked down on those who wanted to have sex with women just by looking at their appearance and bodies. In his eyes, they were just idiots who lacked IQ and EQ and would be finished sooner or later. People should think strategically. If it was just a female singer who wanted to get ahead by relying on her body, instead of Qin Xizhen who he thought could be packaged well, he would just decline the matter.
However, Wang Zhonghua did not expect Qin Xizhen to refuse. Wang Zhonghua waited until four o'clock and fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, there was no sign that anyone had come to the room.
Wang Zhonghua shook his head again. There are so many capable people in this world, but how many of them can really seize the opportunity to succeed and become famous? Especially in his field, he can see it more clearly from his position. So what if they are from a music school? Every year, many people graduate from music schools. After all, how many people have been trained in formal music and become household names
Look at this music festival, there are all kinds of people, including bands and singers who came from far away to seek exposure. This is how the industry is. Those who are at the top are at the forefront of the storm and in the spotlight, and they are all walking on thin ice. Those who are at the bottom are desperately striving to move up. Countless people have set foot in this world of fame and fortune, but how many of them are mediocre and return with nothing. People often only see the fame of someone, but they don’t know that in those places where the spotlight cannot be found, there are thousands of eyes that can only look up silently.
It was because of this that Wang Zhonghua realized what kind of resources he had in his hands. The power in his hands was the power that could drive women crazy. This stupid woman, he had given her a chance, but she ruined it, so he couldn't blame himself for killing her.
So in the instructions I gave to my assistant just now, I had specifically asked him to inform the organizer that his previous recommendation of Qin Xizhen had been cancelled due to some unexpected matters.
Crossing Qin Xizhen's name off the list of main venues, Wang Zhonghua sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Those quiet venues will become bustling and brilliant when the music festival comes. On this stage, who knows how many people will soar to the sky, and how many will have their dreams shattered and their hearts broken.

Wang Shifeng had just got off the plane. The airport in Shanhai City was built in the 1970s and was transferred to the management of Chengdu Airport last year, in 1997. It is an aviation port with the highest number of take-offs and landings among the southwest branch lines.
Especially with the holding of the Shanhai International Tourism Festival, the air passenger traffic to Shanhai has become busy. Two airlines have even added flights to cooperate with this tourism festival that is intended to bring Shanhai into the world's vision.
However, the Shanhai Airport that comes into view cannot be compared with the airports in provincial capitals and big cities. It is basically just a hall. Many people coming out of the passage gather in this hall, which is very much like a bus station waiting for the shuttle bus.
Wang Shifeng can actually be barely considered a music critic. He is the host of the "City Sound" program on Southwest Radio. The program is about music, and he usually talks about the big and small things in the pop music scene on the program. This time he came to Shanhai to participate in the music festival, which can be said to be "publicly sent". This time he will be the "first scene" and link to the Music Sound live broadcast room. Together with his partner, a slightly plump but extremely beautiful voice girl, whose stage name is "Mina", they will produce this music festival live broadcast program.
Wang Shifeng has been the host of City Sound for three years. He also contributes to several famous domestic music magazines such as "Audio and Video World" and "Pop Music". He is quite famous. At least when people in the industry hear the name Wang Shifeng, they call him teacher.
Probably because the Shanhai Music Festival was approaching, Wang Shifeng saw several acquaintances on the plane that arrived. As soon as he came out of the passage, there was an assistant and even several staff members holding signs who came forward to surround a man wearing frog-eye glasses, about 35 or 36 years old, wearing a plaid suit. His name was Chen Yibo. He was not a star, but he was better than a star. He was the enlightenment person of the domestic pop music scene.
In this era, information acquisition basically relies on magazines and periodicals. Chen Yibo is the first pioneer in China to introduce European and American pop music and write reviews of popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is so famous that record companies need to try their best to please him. His pen is a weather vane. As long as he raises a big banner, countless fans and music critics will follow suit. He can almost influence the reviews of many songs. It is said that if a record company wants to make a new singer popular, he will charge tens of thousands for a good review. Tens of thousands of dollars for a song is scary, but there are record companies that accept this.
On the other side, a tall and thin man named Han Lei who was picked up by another group of people did not like Chen Yi-bo. They had even written articles in the "Light of Music" magazine to criticize each other. Their differences were clear.
Unlike Chen Yi-bo who uses money to promote people, Han Lei is a notoriously venomous snake, known as "Han Cannon". His style of evaluating music is mainly based on sarcasm and condemnation. For example, for this year's song "See You in 1998", Han Lei's "freshly-released" comment was "To be honest, this song gives me the same feeling as the live performance, like two country girls standing at the east entrance of the village shouting, one is called Cuihua, and the other is called Wang Pingguo!" He never stops until his words are shocking.
Despite his venomous style, Han Lei's books are selling very well. This supports his unbridled and unbridled bombing. But it is said that Han Lei now dares not appear in public in some big cities where fans gather. His words are so unpleasant that many fans of singers have threatened to cause trouble for him.
These two people are just the tip of the iceberg of the commentary group. Wang Shifeng has a hunch that the music stage will certainly attract attention, but the debate surrounding the first original music festival in China will also be doubly exciting.
Sorry for being late, I went back to my hometown and was busy attending various dinner parties with relatives and friends. Please bear with me during the New Year. I will try to update every day!
