Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

In Kyoto City, a somewhat boring meeting of the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards judging panel was going on silently.

The person presiding over the meeting was the newly appointed team leader last year, Wu Changqing. He is in his fifties and is considered a relatively young team leader, so his thinking is more open and advanced, unlike the conservative old-school leaders in the past.

Wu Changqing was born in an academic school and is currently the dean of the School of Popular Music at the highest level of music school. He has taught many well-known singers and stars. He is also an excellent composer himself and has written many classic pop music, including several The song has almost become a household name, so it is more than enough for him to serve as the head of the jury for the Chinese Music Golden Melody Award.

However, with the decline of the entire Chinese music scene, it is very difficult for this group leader to be a leader. Although he tried his best to promote some reforms, it is still difficult to change the rules accumulated over the years.

But he still made some achievements after all. For example, in this year's selection of best male singer, he voted the most important vote for Lin Yuan, who is not very famous.

In fact, the overall vote count at that time was almost 50-50 between Liu Zile and Lin Yuan, but Wu Changqing's vote broke the balance, and eventually Lin Yuan won with a slight advantage.

Wu Changqing was happy for a while.

Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this and believe that such selection results will cause public outrage, which is not good for the Chinese Golden Melody Awards.

But Wu Changqing insisted on recognizing the voting results, and finally awarded the award based on this result.

Because Wu Changqing feels that the declining Chinese music scene really needs some different music to change the status quo.

Isn’t Liu Zile good?

It cannot be said that it is not good, but it is too popular, so popular that it loses its own soul and characteristics. This kind of music cannot have any emotion.

Is Lin Yuan really good?

It cannot be said that he is perfect. After all, although his national style works are indeed excellent, they have not been seen and accepted by more people because of their unpopularity.

However, comparing the two, Wu Changqing felt that Lin Yuan was more suitable to win the award.

Because the emergence of Lin Yuan will bring a new trend and style to the Chinese music scene, and will broaden the development direction of the entire music scene. Moreover, the quality of his latest album is indeed excellent, and it has even caused quite a stir abroad. The response is a rare thing.

so,

There is nothing wrong with giving the Best Male Singer of the Year award to Lin Yuan.

Even though Wu Changqing had already expected that such a result would arouse many people's doubts, he still did not let the judging panel re-vote.

Why vote again? Is it okay to cast a result that can cater to the mainstream public?

That would be even more meaningless.

Moreover, the judges of the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards have never been influenced by the mainstream public. The judging panel naturally has its own set of standards and rules. It is impossible to re-vote directly just because the selection results do not meet the public's expectations.

But precisely because of Wu Changqing's persistence, public opinion on the Internet has now overwhelmingly criticized the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards as worthless.

Many people have even begun to directly attack the judges on the judging panel, calling them shady, calling them lack of vision, and calling them a disgrace to the music industry.

In short, it is as unpleasant as it sounds.

But what about the jury? They can only be responsible for judging the awards. As for the public evaluation after the awards, they are powerless.

…

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy, because no one was not angry because he was scolded so hard.

Wu Changqing was sitting in the middle, looking down at his cell phone. There were some extreme remarks about him on it.

Some other members of the judging panel also lowered their heads silently, not knowing what to say on such an occasion.

After a while, Wu Changqing raised his head and said, "I'm really worried for these people. I've been scolding them for so long, but they haven't gotten to the bottom of it. This shows that most people don't understand the meaning of the awards at all."

After Wu Changqing finished speaking, some people secretly looked up at him, while others continued to lower their heads unmoved. The reaction from everyone was not very strong.

This is also expected. After all, Wu Changqing is the leader of the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards jury. Although the final award result is voted for by everyone, if the result does not satisfy the public, of course the leader is still the one who bears the main responsibility.

Therefore, many people feel that Wu Changqing is to blame for being scolded, especially those who originally voted for Liu Zile, and they feel that they have been wronged.

Those who chose to vote for Lin Yuan could only remain silent.

After a while, someone finally whispered.

"What difference does it make between scolding or not? Anyway, we judges are the ones scolding."

Although this sentence was said in a low voice, everyone still heard it.

Wu Changqing sighed.

"I hope those who are criticizing will focus on the comparison of the quality of their songs, rather than the so-called comparison of their fame. In the final analysis, so many people are dissatisfied with the selection results, but in fact, they have not yet carefully studied why. With such a result...this is what we should be angry about."

After Wu Changqing finished speaking, everyone remained silent. Everyone understood the truth, but when such crazy abuse came to him now, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Why are you being unique? If you just follow the popular trend, won't everyone be happy?"

Finally, someone expressed their dissatisfaction directly.

The person who spoke was an old member of the judging panel. He had been a judge many times and his qualifications were relatively high, but at the same time he had become even more of a jerk.

Because of this, he was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing was not angry when he heard the other party's direct complaint. He just shook his head and said.

"Everyone is happy, and then everyone will be buried with the Chinese music scene. A happy burial?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became even more silent.

After a while, someone else asked: "Now that public opinion has become like this, what can we do to reverse the reputation? The Chinese Music Golden Melody Award for so many years cannot really fall into our hands, right?"

Indeed, this is the biggest problem that everyone is currently facing. After all, the results of this selection have caused too much negative comments on the Internet. If this continues, I am afraid that the authority of the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards will be completely lost.

That's why everyone will continue to sit here and discuss solutions. Otherwise, given the current public opinion situation, they would be too lazy to meet each other again.

Wu Changqing naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, but what could he do?

Lin Yuan's works are really good, but the mainstream public doesn't recognize them for the time being, so how can we convince others?

Unless... Lin Yuan comes up with a piece that can ignite the entire music world in a short period of time.

This is so difficult.
