Chapter 21
Principal Lu smiled and said: "In which year did the program of our School of Communication disappoint you, Old Chen?"
"But let me tell you, the last show is the most popular this year. You can see that many fans have started to support it."
Mayor Chen glanced back and said with a smile: "The School of Communication and Huahai Entertainment have done a good job in training her. This child Yu Caiwei is indeed very good."
Huahai Entertainment Li Wenrui smiled and nodded.
Dean Lu smiled and said: "Don't forget Yinghong Entertainment. This time, Mr. Li specially asked a team from the company to perform in friendship. On behalf of the School of Communication, I would like to thank Mr. Li here."
"I don't want to take it. It's just a matter of effort." Li Dapeng laughed and said suddenly: "In my opinion, times have changed now. It's not enough to just stand there and sing dryly."
"I think Huahai President Li's methods still need to change a lot. It's better to sign Yu Caiwei to our company. The achievements will not be limited to this."
As soon as Li Dapeng said these words, Li Wenrui's face turned cold, but out of self-restraint, he refrained from choking on the spot.
He started pinching again, and Principal Lu sighed secretly.
However, Mayor Chen seemed not to notice the subtle atmosphere between the two, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Li has some high opinions? Why don't you tell me?"
Li Dapeng said proudly: "What era are we in now? The digital era! Performances that can catch people's attention are the most marketable."
"Like a singer from Li Corporation, no matter how good a song is, if others can't understand it, no one listens to it, and there is no market, what's the use? In the end, isn't the large investment in vain?"
Li Dapeng talked endlessly and everyone could see the insinuations he meant.
Li Wenrui snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You don't even look at the works your company produces. How can they be called songs?"
Li Dapeng chuckled and said: "Making money is the last word. It's all for the market."
Indeed, Huahai and Yinghong are both among the top ten entertainment companies in China. Originally, Huahai has been deeply involved in the music industry for many years, while Yinghong is rich in film and television, and the two are equally powerful.
But in recent years, Huahai Entertainment's music career has suffered setbacks again and again, and Yu Caiwei is a rare success story. While Yinghong Entertainment is strong in the film and television market, it is also ambitious in the music industry and wants to catch up.
The girl group that assisted at the graduation party today is a singing and dancing group created by Yinghong Entertainment with a lot of money.
Regarding the argument between the two, Mayor Chen remained calm and asked with a smile: "Lao Lu, you are a professional, what do you think about this aspect?"
Principal Lu sighed softly in his heart and said: "The market is indeed very important. After all, those who engage in music and art are good, and they all have to eat."
Li Dapeng's face lit up.
"However," Principal Lu added, "sometimes the pursuit of medical skills and the market trend are not completely consistent. When encountering this situation, my personal view is that we cannot lower our pursuit of art for the sake of the market without a bottom line."
"For example, some vulgar works are now popular in the market, but I will never allow media students to produce these works."
Principal Lu said it euphemistically, but the meaning was very clear, that is, he did not agree with Li Dapeng’s market-only theory.
Li Dapeng looked unhappy, but Mayor Chen already chuckled and said: "Old Lu is still very good at what he said. I have learned a lesson."
"Watch the show, watch the show, it's starting."
Hosted by a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, the party performance officially began after the leader's speech was completed as usual.
Recitation, sketch, folk dance, chorus...
I have to say that the professional quality of the students at Huahai University of Communication is indeed very good. Every program is decent, and some of them are not inferior to professional standards.
But now is the information age, and young people have not watched any popular programs online, so the on-site response can only be considered mediocre.
The performance was tepid in the middle, and it was the turn of the Yinghong Entertainment girl group to appear.
The moment seven beauties wearing ultra-short hot pants and extremely cool tank tops appeared on the stage, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Violent music, blurred eyes, plus chest thrusting, hip twisting and other seductive and obvious movements...
The reaction of the student audience was the most direct. At the end of the show, the whistles and screams were louder than any previous performance.
"That's what the market chooses."
Li Dapeng looked proud, while Huahai Entertainment Li Wenrui looked calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
As for Principal Lu, his eyes were obviously filled with displeasure.
In the eyes of these academics who have their own pursuit of art, instead of calling it a performance, it would be more appropriate to call it posing.
Mayor Chen was smiling as always, with no apparent attitude.
At this time, in the backstage area, Ye Zhiqiu returned to Yu Caiwei's resting room with satisfaction.
There were sofas and drinks here, and it was much more comfortable than the public waiting area outside. Ye Zhiqiu stayed here consciously.
Yu Caiwei, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and suddenly asked, "Where were you just now?"
"Let's watch the show. It's my third show from the last. It's still early."
"The performance of the Yinghong Entertainment girl group?" Yu Caiwei continued to ask.
"Yeah." Ye Zhiqiu answered without thinking.
"What do you think?" The voice is still cold and pleasant.
"It's so white...no, it's pretty."
Ye Zhiqiu's mind was still filled with the scene of seven pairs of big white legs shaking just now, and he almost spilled the beans, and quickly corrected: "I mean, after all, I have made my debut, and my professional skills are very professional."
"Really?" Yu Caiwei's face was calm, and her cold tone showed no emotion.
Suddenly, Yu Caiwei stood up and said, "I'm going to change clothes, please go out for a while."
"Huh?" Ye Zhiqiu, who was throwing a grape into his mouth, was stunned, looking at the costume that Yu Caiwei had just tinkered with for a while and fell into deep thought.
Yu Caiwei's eyes were stern, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining with thousands of years of ice towards Ye Zhiqiu.
For some reason, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly shuddered, and he opened his mouth to say something but then he took it back.
"oh."
The owner of the lounge spoke, and Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to leave obediently.
After the hot dance by the Yinghong Entertainment girl group, the party performance returned to a regular rhythm again, and it soon came to an end.
The next program is Ye Zhiqiu's solo performance.
In the audience, Li Hongfei looked grim and said to a few people around him: "Wait a minute for that kid to finish singing, and you can just tell me to 'get off the stage'!"
"No matter how unpleasant it is to scold me, it's best to bring up the emotions of the audience and shout together without saving him any face. Do you understand?"
These people were all the drivers, attendants, etc. who came with Li Dapeng, so they naturally agreed to the young master's request.
"Okay, Mr. Li."
"Leave it to us, we will definitely disgrace that kid."
Soon, the host's announcement ended.
"Come on, come on! Fourth's show!"
"Wait a minute, brother, these screams must be enough, cheer up the fourth brother!"
Chapter completed!
