Early this morning, a well-known music circle person, Lantern Hoho, broke the news that Liu Zhou had been arrested and attached a verdict, which clearly stated:
Liu Zhou was convicted of misappropriation and sentenced to four years and six months in prison and fined 500,000 yuan.
I remember that 1 month ago, KaiGe posted a post on Douban that liu zhou owed money to others in our rhyming poetry crowd.
This post mainly tells the story of Liu Zhou's abduction and deception all the way, and incidentally also revealed the story of his three wives.
People like me who have come from the end of the world, of course, feel ridiculous at first. As a result, as soon as the news came out today, I didn't expect that this revelation was actually true.
After the end of "China Has Hip Hop", in addition to the rappers who participated in the competition and the fat tiger director who was promoted and raised, Liu Zhou should be one of the most rewarding.
As the signed boss of GAI, Liu Zhou relied on gai's reputation to finally realize his wish for many years, and founded the rap label door & key, claiming to have completed the signing of 50 artists.
However, in the six months since the establishment of Door & Key, except for seeing them make a noise when signing, all the rappers who signed seem to have said nothing about this label.
Only when the big dog started broadcasting "China New Rap" this year, he mentioned two sentences on Weibo, " The company's story is wonderful enough to make a movie, what mainstream artists, isn't it a fool who cheats and cheats.
Now it seems that big dog's Weibo points to Liu Zhou, and door&key seems to be like China's hip-hop boom last year, a bubble of nothingness.
Combined with what has happened in the past six months, Cui Yongyuan and Fan Bingbing to today's directors angrily spewed ratings to fake ratings, Liu Zhou went to jail, it seems that the entertainment industry is not very peaceful.
Remember that on "China Has Hip Hop", in front of the invincible gai grandfather, Liu Zhou acted as if he were an elder.
At 12 into 9, Gai and his wife quarreled on the phone, he did not want to compare, Liu Zhou pointed to the nose and scolded, so that Gai Grandpa gave up this idea.
Liu Zhou was the first mainstream musician to discover gai's unique talent, and at the beginning of "China Has Hip Hop", he found gai and hoped to sign a contract with it.
For the matter of going to the mainstream, Gai has no score in his heart, but he can't stand Liu Zhou's painting pie over and over again. What to carry the banner of rap, to lead the Chinese rap forward a flurry.
But when GQ asked what Gai asked about signing a contract with Liu Zhou at the end, Gai said: "I want to make money." Is this reason enough? ”
If you change this matter to a company, the dialogue between the boss and the employees is too normal, but in the music circle and the rap circle, although it is reasonable, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Liu Zhou is a musician and producer, but in essence, he is a businessman in the abnormal atmosphere of Chinese music.
He has a series of advantages and takes into account all the shortcomings of a businessman, he is shrewd and snobbish, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
He is happy to let gai participate in various commercial activities, whether he likes it or not, he will help gai change the song to better suit the "mainstream audience".
The song "Hot Pot Base" was changed from the classic trap to a small apple, for which he was not ashamed, but proud.
On Weibo, the original producer of the song, Lao Dao, expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that Liu Zhou was repeating the mistakes of the Phoenix legend.
In this regard, Liu Zhou also showed his own point of view: I am fire, I am reasonable.
Willing to release the original voice, and the old way to teach a high level.
This matter itself has no results, because including this hype, it is carefully planned by Liu Zhou.
Of course, he knows that the new version of "Hotpot Base" will cause dissatisfaction among many people, but by bringing more traffic through this dissatisfaction, the value of this song can be maximized.
Lao Dao is making music, Liu Zhou is doing business, things are so simple.
On "China Has Hip Hop", Liu Zhou's suggestion to Huang Xu also seems so "pertinent", persuading Huang Xu not to make such unpleasant music.
But he may have forgotten that not everyone is as quick to succeed as he is.
In the short development of the Chinese music circle, Liu Zhou should be regarded as a microcosm, he represents a large wave of musicians who have given up their art for money.
I understand them, in the long days of not eating, they learned how to cater to the audience, but also gradually lost themselves.
This is no different from the circle money movies that fans in the film circle are looking for, and they will eventually be eliminated by history. This year's movie box office is a good illustration of this.
Generally speaking, the transformation of the music circle in the entertainment field will lag behind the film and television circle, so will Liu Zhou fire the first shot of this change?
