Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 171, TV King and TV Queen [ words for monthly votes]

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are indeed lucky, but they are also nervous at this moment.

"Brother Lang, we didn't see much discussion about this online. Did he just go to his grandmother's house?"

"Brother Lang, the first week's sales data hasn't come out yet. Are you hiding it from us because you're afraid we can't handle the blow?"

Every day, the two of them surrounded Shen Lang, one on each side, and asked the same questions over and over again.

Shen Lang was overwhelmed. For the first time, he felt how painful it was to be accompanied by a beautiful woman. He looked at Yang Junyi for help, hoping that Yang Junyi would find an excuse to get them away. Unexpectedly, Yang Junyi spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help. Shen Lang could only sigh and say, "Xixi, Xiaochang, for..."

At this moment, he saw Chen Yaochuan coming, as if he had seen a savior, and shouted: "Brother Chen, here!"

Chen Yaochuan walked towards them with a smile on his face and said, "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Shen Lang: "Good news!"

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang: "Bad news!"

Both parties shouted at the same time, and Chen Yaochuan said in embarrassment: "Who should I listen to?"

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"

Chen Yaochuan chuckled and said, "Let me tell you the good news first. So far, you and Yuanyuan are far ahead in the voting for the 'Most Popular Actor and Actress' at the Golden Film Awards. You are five times more likely to win than the second place Sun Haiying and Lv Liping. The voting will stop at 8 pm. You are sure to win the award."

The 12rd China TV Golden Eagle Art Festival will be held in Star City from December 19th to 22nd. On the last day, which is tonight, the 20th China TV Golden Eagle Awards ceremony will be held.

Shen Lang, Chen Daomin, Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guoli and Sun Haiying were nominated for the Audience's Favorite Actor Award, while Gao Yuanyuan, Lv Liping, Xu Qing, Tao He and Wang Qian were nominated for the Audience's Favorite Actress Award.

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan have aired three TV series this year, and their current ratings are first, second and fourth in the year. With Shen Lang's top popularity in the music industry, there is no suspense at all for this kind of award that is determined by the number of people.

Moreover, this number of votes is far from the limit. After all, most people failed to participate, otherwise the difference in votes would be exponentially greater.

In addition to this award, Shen Lang also won two other awards. The theme song of "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" "The Crossroad Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" and the theme song of "The Story of a Noble Family" "Blue and White Porcelain" were shortlisted for the audience's favorite TV drama songs.

Liu Yifei was delighted and clapped her hands, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Lang!"

Shu Chang stared with his eyes wide open, exclaiming, "Wow, Brother Lang is amazing. He has only been an actor for two years and he has already won the Best Actor Award!"

Shen Lang chuckled and said, "How can it be called TV King if it's won through voting? What's the bad news?"

Chen Yaochuan shook his head and sighed at Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and said in an extremely disappointed tone: "The sales of Xixi and Xiaochang's EP "87 Girls, Don't Want to Grow Up"...sigh...are gone..."

The smiles on Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's faces suddenly became stiff, and their eyes revealed deep loss and confusion, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Shen Lang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by 'sales volume is gone'?"

The three songs "Don't Want to Grow Up", "No Tears in Moscow" and "Cherry Blossom Grass" cannot be compared with the ones he sang himself, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's voice and singing skills are not top-notch, but selling tens or hundreds of thousands of copies is not a problem. How come it failed?
Chen Yaochuan's expression changed, and he laughed, "The sales volume is gone, that is, the first batch of 10 copies have been sold out."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence, absolute silence.

Liu Yifei had a face full of question marks.

Shu Chang stood there in a daze.

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yaochuan with a look that said "you're looking for a fight". Since this guy joined Jingtao Music, his life has been better than before, his work has been easier than before, and he is in such a good state that he even dares to joke with his boss!
"Mr. Chen, are you telling the truth?"

"Mr. Chen, you are not here to comfort us, are you?"

"real."

After confirmation, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang screamed, hugged each other, jumped and danced, and were extremely happy.

Shen Lang wanted to laugh when he saw them, because they were both wearing makeup, that is, Wang Yuyan and Tianshan Tonglao were making trouble.

When they got tired and stopped, Chen Yaochuan continued, "The sales in the first two or three days were not very good, and there was not even any data. I was very worried at the time, thinking about whether to stop the second batch of goods and cut the loss in time. But considering that it might be a problem of insufficient publicity, I decided to observe for another two days. As more and more radio stations requested it, word of mouth gradually fermented, and the sales rose sharply. The first batch of 10 copies were sold out yesterday, and the second batch of 10 copies started to be sold today."

Liking the roles played by Liu Yifei and Shu Chang in “The Story of a Noble Family” does not mean that you will buy their EP.

It wasn't until the news of the press conference spread and people knew it was Shen Lang's song that attention began to rise. In addition, after hearing the song "Don't Want to Grow Up" on the radio, people bought it after they no longer had to worry about the quality.

With the Chinese music scene collectively silent at the end of this year, the three songs in this EP are already quite listenable.

Shen Lang said to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang: "Don't be proud."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lang, we will be like you, neither arrogant nor impatient!"

Shu Chang echoed: "Yes, we will continue to work hard!"

After work in the evening, they borrowed the hotel owner's computer and went online to see if there was any discussion going on.

The two little girls were 15 years old and had never experienced the real red and fire, so they were curious.

I want to know what it feels like and how others will comment on it.

Tianya Community:

"It's great, it fills the gap of the mainland's lack of sweet girl groups."

"I don't want to grow up, because when I grow up I will have my period (﹏)."

"I woke up feeling numb. Wang Yuyan and Tianshan Tonglao made their singing debut."

……

Sina Forum:

"I don't know if there are tears in Moscow, I just want to ask Shen Lang why he doesn't release a new album!"

"The singing voice is sweet and the MV is beautiful. I like it!"

"Just singing? I thought they were going to learn from Korean girl groups and do singing and dancing, that's boring."

……

Listen quietly:

"87 Girl, what does this name mean? Is it a homophone for '霸气'? But it doesn't look domineering at all."

“It’s interesting that you can comment on a music player.”

"'The cherry blossoms in the lover's arms, the heartbeat in the chest', after listening to it several times, I suddenly realized that the thumping sound in the prelude was actually the heartbeat in the lover's chest. How many people still remember the ignorant and shy heartbeat in their youth?"

……

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at several popular website forums, and the ratio of positive reviews to negative reviews was 7:3. They were very satisfied.

What I have always worried about is that people don’t like their teamwork, their voices, and their singing.

At this moment, my heart finally settled down.

At this time, Shu Chang glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer monitor and said, "It's almost eight o'clock. Let's go and watch Brother Lang and Yuanyuan receive their awards."

Liu Yifei nodded, closed all the websites, and said to the boss: "Thank you, boss, we are done."

The two held hands and trotted back to the room.

At 8 o'clock tonight, Shonan TV and Shuchuan TV's film, television and art channels will broadcast the closing ceremony of the Golden Eagle Festival and the Golden Film Awards ceremony.

On the festive and grand red carpet, the starlight was a little dim. The only big names walking slowly were Tang Guoqiang arm in arm with Tao Chen, Zhang Guoli hand in hand with Wang Qian, Sun Haiying and Lv Liping and their spouses, and Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan.

The absence of Chen Daomin and Xu Qing made this year's Golden Eagle Awards and Golden Film Awards the ones with the fewest guests.

Many viewers don't quite understand the meaning of "the most popular actor and actress among the audience". This award actually has nothing to do with the "Golden Eagle Award Top Ten Actors". It is a special award set up by the organizer of the Golden Eagle Festival. At the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, the audience selects two from the "Golden Eagle Award Top Ten Actors" as the "most popular actor and actress among the audience".

Since the award was not announced until the last minute of the awards ceremony, it was full of suspense.

At the first Golden Eagle Awards, Zhou Xun and Lu Yi were elected, but because the number of audience votes was not announced at the time, the result was considered to have been predetermined.

The second Golden Eagle Awards set up a special television monitoring for this purpose and invited a notary public. The election of Cao Ying and Pu Cunxin was convincing.

This year is the third session, and Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan are leading by a large margin in votes without any doubt.

First of all, the two are the most popular actors in the TV circle this year, no doubt about it. Whether it is Gu Yuetao and Pei Pei in "The Sky of 18 Years Old", Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", or Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu in "The Story of a Noble Family", they have all received countless praises.

Looking at the scene again, more than half of the audience came for them.

So it is quite normal to get so many votes.

Tonight, the two of them were dressed to imitate the styles of their respective characters in "The Story of a Noble Family". Shen Lang wore a white retro suit and Gao Yuanyuan wore a blue cheongsam. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They looked like the prince and princess in a fairy tale. They were really a perfect match.

The fans of this on-screen couple were laughing throughout the whole show.

"What a bargain for this kid Shen Lang!"

"You're crazy. It's a match made in heaven. What's the point of talking about whether it's cheap or not?"

……

"Are they together?"

"Who knows? Brother Lang has a lot of rumored girlfriends. A while ago, it was reported that he was very close to Liu Yifei on the set."...

"Three dramas a year, as productive as a sow, it would be unacceptable if I didn't win an award."

"No, it has both production and quality, it deserves the title!"

……

Everyone was chatting, including Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan who had just walked the red carpet.

They haven't seen each other for more than two months. When they were filming in Yanjing, Shen Lang could drive back to the villa at night to spend time with Gao Yuanyuan. Since he went to Dali, they have been separated by two places.

Shen Lang asked in a low voice: "Tonight..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Yuanyuan knew what he was going to say, and said, "Not tonight. I have to catch a plane back to the crew after the party. I have a scene tomorrow morning."

The romantic film "Turn Left, Turn Right", which was originally scheduled to start shooting early next year, started shooting in Tiaobei ahead of schedule. Although she is the leading actress, she cannot take a long vacation just a few days after starting, as it would have a bad impact.

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll call the director and tell him there's a celebration party and ask for an extra day off."

Julang Films is one of the investors and has this privilege.

Gao Yuanyuan said awkwardly: "This is not good."

Shen Lang smiled faintly and said, "I'm just kidding. I'm almost done filming there. I'll come visit the set then."

Gao Yuanyuan said happily: "Okay."

At this moment, the two of them were holding hands openly. What's the matter? They played lovers in all three dramas.

When I got backstage, I found quite a few familiar faces there.

"Teacher Guoli, long time no see! You look energetic and charming as always!"

"Hello, Teacher Guoli."

"Hello, hello." After responding to Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Guoli looked at Shen Lang and said, "You are still so sweet, boy."

Shen Lang said calmly: "I'm telling the truth."

Zhang Guoli laughed and said, "I can congratulate you in advance. You are the most popular actor and actress and you deserve the title."

He was not jealous of this award at all. It was originally a competition of popularity, and now who could compare with Shen Lang?

Shen Lang smiled and said, "We took advantage of the fact that there are so many dramas. The audience actually likes those three pairs of characters and those three dramas, not us. If we win, it will be a great love from the audience."

Zhang Guoli likes people who are neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing, and immediately said, "No, no, no, I have a lot of dramas, including "Happy Marriage", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 2", and "My Life". You don't have to be too modest. You and Yuanyuan acted very well. If the characters are not deeply rooted in people's hearts, the audience will not come so far to support and vote."

This made Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan feel embarrassed.

After chatting with Zhang Guoli for a while, I went to chat with Hu Bin, who was the award presenter today.

Soon, the award ceremony began. As expected, Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan won the Audience's Favorite Actor and Actress awards respectively. Shen Lang also won the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Song Award for "Blue and White Porcelain".

No matter whether he won the award because of his popularity or not because of his acting skills, he is the Best Actor no matter what.

Shen Lang also made it through the television circle, and for a moment he seemed to have nothing to pursue.

Gao Yuanyuan was very excited. She tried her best to control her nervousness when receiving the award, but she still shed tears. She choked up as she thanked her parents, the directors of several dramas, and finally Shen Lang.

After receiving the award, according to the procedure, the two of them were guests in Sina's guest chat room and chatted face to face with netizens.

Host: "Hello, everyone! Welcome to Sina Guest Chat Room. Today we have invited Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan, who just won the Most Popular Actor and Actress awards at the Golden Film Awards."

Shen Lang: "Hello everyone, I am Shen Lang."

Gao Yuanyuan: "Hello everyone, I'm Gao Yuanyuan."

After the self-introduction, the host was greeted by an overwhelming amount of messages from netizens.

After the opening ceremony on the 19th, actors were invited every day. This is the first time that netizens have been so active.

When facing the boss, since Shen Lang became one of the shareholders after acquiring Sina shares, the host only picked positive and easy-to-answer questions.

For example, ask them which role they like best, whether they will work together again in the future, whether there will be a sequel to "The Sky of 18 Years Old", etc.

This also made Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan feel much more relaxed, and they gave the host an admiring look.

After this part, the two went to the airport in the same car, and then one went to Dali and the other went to Taibei.

Back on the crew, Zhang Jizhong arranged a celebration ceremony and presented flowers to Shen Lang.

He looked even happier than Shen Lang.

why?
Shen Lang winning the Best Actor award is a great thing for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", as it will allow him to sell it for a good price in the subsequent sales.

There are bonuses, which is why actors all want to win awards. It is not only a personal honor, but also a proof of their ability.

The shooting progress of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is faster than planned and has now entered the final stage.

Everyone is working overtime, striving to wrap up the film around New Year's Day.

Three groups shot during the day and at night.

Finally, at 1 p.m. on January 5, the last shot of the entire drama was completed.

"Everyone has worked hard. I declare that the filming is complete!"

As soon as Zhou Xiaowen finished speaking, cheers and applause followed.

The filming was completed more than a month earlier than expected in February, so we can all go home and celebrate the New Year happily.

In the evening, the crew booked a banquet hall and held a large wrap-up party to celebrate everyone's hard work over the past four months. After tonight, everyone will go their separate ways.

At the banquet, Zhang Jizhong, several directors and several leading actors became the main targets of toasts.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were minors and drank beverages instead of alcohol.

Younger people like Yan Danchen and Jiang Xin took a sip to show their appreciation.

Everyone else drank quite a bit, and some who couldn't hold their liquor were carried back to their rooms.

When leaving the restaurant, Yan Danchen caught up with Shen Lang and said, "Brother Lang, thank you for taking care of me these days."

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. You've taken care of me a lot."

Yan Danchen pursed his lips and said, "Last time I said I would treat you to a meal, but after joining the crew, I was busy filming and didn't have the chance."

Shen Lang had forgotten about this, but he was indeed busy, leaving early and returning late every day. When he had no scenes to take a break, Yan Danchen had another scene to start working on, so the schedules didn't match: "Remember this first."

Yan Danchen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember it first."

Parting is always sad.

The filming of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils took a very long time. There were so many actors in the play, which meant that each actor spent a long time together. Over time, feelings developed among everyone.

They are mortal enemies in the play, but good friends outside the play.

Shen Lang and Ma Yuke have become brothers, and he also has a good relationship with Xu Qing.

But men are fine, they don’t shed so many tears.

Several women cried.

Liu Yifei and Yan Danchen, Shu Chang and Chen Hao, Jiang Xin and Liu Tao, hugged and talked at the airport, reluctant to leave.

All good things must come to an end, and the only words of comfort to each other are "parting is for a better reunion."

Shen Lang, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and Liu Xiaoli took a flight back to Yanjing.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are both studying. Winter vacation hasn't started yet, so they have to go back to continue their classes.

Liu Yifei was admitted to the Yenching Film Academy, while Shu Chang was a senior at the Yenching Yuying Middle School.

Shen Lang couldn't rest either because he had a new job.

1 is to attend the company's annual meeting;
2 is to visit Gao Yuanyuan in Taibei;
3 is to continue filming the unfinished "Love Call Transfer", and there are still scenes with 8 actresses left;

4. He was invited to participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Sheep. The program team also hoped that he would bring new songs, so he needed to prepare.

Shen Lang took a day off and attended the company's annual meeting on January 1. The next day, he boarded a plane to Tiaobei.
