Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

"Brother Lang is awesome!"

"Brother Lang is invincible!"

"Brother Lang, I love you!"

The shouts rose one after another, echoing in the air of the Capital Airport, full of enthusiasm and passion. The fans expressed their love and admiration for Shen Lang in the most direct way.

"Shen Lang, how do you feel after winning seven Grammy trophies?"

"Shen Lang, how do you feel about becoming the most successful person in the history of Chinese music?"

"Shen Lang, do you have anything to say about the doubts raised by some European and American media?"

The media reporters couldn't wait to throw out one question after another, like a string of cannonballs, and the airport passage was suddenly filled with noise.

In this lively and chaotic scene, in order to avoid affecting the normal passage of passengers, Shen Lang brought out the excuse he had prepared in advance.

His words were steady and powerful, expressing his gratitude for everyone's support and revealing his confidence and expectations for the future.

When everyone heard that a press conference and a fan meeting would be held later, they no longer crowded here, but waited with anticipation for the next reunion with Shen Lang.

Also, because he was now an obvious target and the paparazzi would definitely follow him, he did not go directly to the villa where Stefanie Sun was, but returned to the courtyard first.

"I thought you would only come here in the evening. Our 'King of Pop', please come in." Seeing that it was Shen Lang, Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

He came here to live after the Chinese New Year, leaving that sad place in Hong Kong.

I listened to the entire live broadcast of the Grammy Awards ceremony and felt happy and excited for Shen Lang's winning.

He also called the day before yesterday and said that a few good friends were waiting for him in the courtyard to come back for a drink.

"The celebration banquet is scheduled for tomorrow, so let's take a rest today." Shen Lang put away his luggage, took a shower, and went next door.

"They were playing mahjong in there." Zhang Guorong was referring to Wang Jingfei, Liu Jialing, Lin Qingxia, and Liang Chaowei.

In the Hong Kong circle, they are the only ones Shen Lang is familiar with, and he had known them through Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui.

This courtyard seemed to have become a warm harbor where friends gathered to share Shen Lang's glory and joy.

The sound of mahjong is crisp and pleasant, and laughter fills the air, making people feel the strong friendship.

"Do I need an introduction? My Nie Xiaoqian, Wang Zuxian."

"Hello."

"Hello."

A "newcomer" came into the room, who was also an actor that Shen Lang liked very much in his previous life.

In 1983, 17-year-old Wang Zuxian was still in high school. He was spotted by a director and starred in the romance film "The Lakeside Will Be Very Cold This Year", officially entering the film industry.

When Hong Kong films were at their peak, Wang Zuxian could be seen in almost every movie. Despite her frequent appearances, none of them brought her any awards.

The label of "vase" was carried on her shoulders for more than twenty years.

Everything changed until the appearance of "A Chinese Ghost Story". One day in 1987, after Wang Zuxian saw the information about "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the newspaper, she determined in her heart that this was a drama with a female lead, and the strong desire drove her to give it a try.

Coincidentally, Tsui Hark and Nansun Shi called her to talk about filming a movie, so she asked Tsui Hark to let her give it a try. In the end, Tsui Hark could only let her audition.

Unexpectedly, Tsui Hark was quite satisfied.

This also became an important turning point in her career, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" became the pinnacle of Wang Zuxian's acting career.

With this one movie, she became known as one of the "Four Famous Actresses" of Hong Kong film industry along with Maggie Cheung, Cherie Chung and Rosamund Kwan in the early 90s.

Even Leslie Cheung's elegant nickname "Brother" originated from "Nie Xiaoqian"'s nickname for "Ning Caichen".

Therefore, she was nicknamed "the most beautiful female ghost" by netizens.

Because of this, Wang Zuxian once dominated the Hong Kong circle.

However, the road of life is not always smooth, just like the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story": "The road of life is like a long dream, the road is windy and frosty, the wind and frost blow on the face, in the world, how many directions does the dream have? Find the love in the dream, the road is endless..."

Due to relationship problems and being tired of life in the entertainment industry, in 2001, she suddenly announced at the press conference of the movie "Dream in the Garden" that she would quit the film industry and go to the United States to study.

At the beginning of this year, I returned to Hong Kong because of Anita Mui's passing. After knowing that Zhang Guorong settled in Yanjing, I chose to follow her to play.

She didn't know much about Shen Lang, but she knew from Zhang Guorong that he was a very talented rising star in the music industry.

Winning a Grammy is equivalent to winning an Oscar, which is a very difficult thing. Needless to say, their strength is very important.

Appearance and talent are certainly one aspect, but the main thing is that Shen Lang has a good personality. When you get along with him, you will feel like you are bathing in the sun. He is full of positive energy, optimistic and cheerful.

To be honest, Wang Zuxian quite likes this kind of life living in the courtyard during this period.

It is much more comfortable here than in the United States. It is quiet and full of warmth.

So, she asked Shen Lang about the price of the courtyard house, and unexpectedly it was quite cheap, which made her think of settling down here.

After Wang Zuxian set the precedent, Lin Qingxia, Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei also wanted to follow suit. After all, courtyard houses were not expensive, so they just bought one and kept it there. When they got tired of living in Hong Kong, they would come here to relax.

Just like that, Shen Lang will have a few more neighbors.

He felt it was a good idea to think that the courtyard house would become more lively in the future.

With more friends, it becomes more lively, and this vibrant atmosphere is what the courtyard house lacks.

In the early morning, the mahjong game ended. Shen Lang disguised himself and went out carefully.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the villa.

In the early morning, the mahjong game ended. Shen Lang disguised himself and went out carefully.

Under the cover of night, he was like a mysterious traveler.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the villa.

Sun Yanzi thought that he had just come back and had dealt with things before coming here, so she went to bed early.

However, in the middle of the night, a man sneaked into the bed and almost scared her to death.

At that moment, fear shrouded her heart, but when she saw it was Shen Lang, she was surprised and happy.

They were naked and hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

On this crazy, muddy night, the air was filled with ambiguity and warmth.

They shared their thoughts about each other and talked about their experiences during this period.

"I have a very mature idea." Afterwards, Shen Lang hugged Sun Yanzi and his voice was quite gentle.

"What idea?" Sun Yanzi raised her head slightly, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"I've become the 'King of Pop', so you must have a 'Queen of Pop'." Shen Lang said with a smile in his eyes.

"You mean, you want me to sing English songs to develop overseas markets?" Sun Yanzi was very smart and immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, recently, I have written a lot of English songs for those overseas artists, and you can help me share some of the burden." Shen Lang said as he pinched the elastic part, his eyes full of doting.

"Okay, then I'll do my best to help you share some of the burden." Sun Yanzi said with a smile.

That night, they not only had an intimate exchange between lovers, but also made new plans for their future musical journey.

Shen Lang hopes that Stefanie Sun can shine even brighter on the music stage and become a "pop queen" standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Sun Yanzi also felt Shen Lang's trust and support for her, and her heart was filled with sweetness and motivation. The next morning, the two slept in the warm bed until noon.

If there wasn’t a celebratory banquet in the evening, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed in the afternoon.

Shen Lang got up first, dressed and washed, then left.

Sun Yanzi was not in a hurry. She dressed herself up beautifully and went to the hotel where the celebration banquet was held near the evening.

Today, dozens of celebrities came to the Yanjing Hotel, including singers and actors from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, representing half of the entertainment industry.

"Zhang Guorong!"

"Zhang Xueyou!"

"Jackie Chan!"

"Li Wen!"

"Tian Zhen!"

"Zhang Guoli!"

……

Shouts echoed in the air, and the arrival of the stars made the entire hotel sparkle.

Passersby were all shocked, thinking there was some kind of party going on here.

The gathering of stars is not only a celebration of Shen Lang’s achievements, but also a rare opportunity for communication and cooperation.

Gao Yuanyuan also rushed over from the crew of "The Untold Story".

This was not the first time she and Stefanie Sun met.

In fact, both of them were vaguely aware of something, but they deceived themselves and did not delve into it further.

At this time, Angela Zhang quietly asked Wang Xinling next to her: "Should we go toast to the boss?"

Wang Xinling thought for a moment and said, "Out of courtesy, we must go, but I see that except for a few big guys, no one else has moved yet. Let's wait a little longer."

They, a group of new employees of the company, sat at a table, whispering to each other in groups of three or four, observing the situation around them with excitement but also a little nervousness.

However, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang didn't care about others and just walked over with their drinks.

"Brother Lang~"

Two sweet, sticky voices came. Shen Lang saw their expressions and knew that they were here to toast him. He immediately joked with them, "Isn't this a bar?"

When Shu Chang heard it, he quickly replied, "It's Sprite."

Liu Yifei pouted and said, "You and my mom are very strict with me, how dare I do that?"

It’s not a matter of adulthood, it’s better to drink less alcohol.

Shen Lang smiled and drank a drink with them. It was impossible for him to drink tonight. With so many people around, if everyone toasted him with a glass, even the god of wine would not be able to resist.

When they saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang leaving, Zhang Shaohan and others also went over to toast Shen Lang.

At this celebration banquet, everyone expressed their congratulations and respect to Shen Lang in their own way.

The cautiousness of the newlyweds and the liveliness and cuteness of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang added a different color to the night.

In this joyful atmosphere, everyone celebrated Shen Lang’s brilliant achievements and looked forward to better development in the future.

Time flies, and a new day comes.

Early in the morning, Shen Lang went out and bought a stack of newspapers and magazines.

I'm taking a day off today, so I have time to read some of the domestic media reports about him.

Opening the Southern Metropolis Daily, the headline "46th Grammy Awards, Shen Lang crowned the winner!" is particularly eye-catching, as if announcing the birth of a music legend.

The Yanjing Entertainment News used the words "7 Grammy trophies, Shen Lang writes a miracle for Chinese singers!" to emphasize the extraordinary significance of Shen Lang's achievements.

The Morning News used "Gossip 'sticks' to the Grammys; the competition between Shen Lang and Beyonce has risen to a competition between the music circles of the two countries!" as the headline, triggering people's in-depth thinking on the exchange and competition of music culture.

"Huaxia Television News" stated that "Shen Lang has an album that is popular all over the world. His strength speaks for itself. The Grammy Award is not an unreachable peak!" It affirmed Shen Lang's outstanding strength and the hope he brought to the Chinese music scene.

"Shen Lang is conquering the world music scene with his success in both Chinese and English!" from "China Pop Music" demonstrates Shen Lang's powerful influence in different language music fields.

And "Star" magazine made an in-depth analysis from multiple angles including appearance, talent, character, and achievements, "Detailed account of how Shen Lang reached the top of the pyramid in four years!".

……

All the newspapers and magazines, whether well-known or not, gave Shen Lang their front-page headlines.

First of all, this is the biggest news in recent times;

Secondly, reporting this will increase sales.

As for the content, it is indeed hyped up even more than that in foreign countries.

It's understandable. After all, he's one of our own. It's not easy to come up with a top singer, so we must praise him.

Shen Lang put the book down after reading a few articles. Although it was very satisfying, it was easy to become proud and complacent if he read too much.

After the Grammy Awards, there is a "Grammy effect", that is, the winning singers, songs, and albums will become very popular.

He can also enjoy this bonus, and the sales of the album "Shen Lang·Towering Waves" has a chance to reach 2000 million copies.

Moreover, the second English album is about to be released, which just happens to catch this bonus, so the sales prospects are very good.

In addition, record companies in many countries are also taking advantage of the Grammy effect to introduce some award-winning albums.

For example, Beyonce's album "Dangerous Love", the second biggest winner of this year's Grammy Awards, won five major awards including Best R&B Female Vocalist and Best Contemporary R&B Album, and has been introduced to more than 5 countries.

In addition, Coldplay's "Blood" won the Best Rock Album of the Year, Justin's album "Loving You" won the Best Pop Album, and the soundtracks of the movies "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" all received considerable attention.

In China, except for Beyoncé's "Home" by the Dixie Chicks, "Brazil" by Yo-Yo Ma, and "Falling" by Evanescence, which won the Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance awards, most of the other copyrights have been acquired by Jingtao Music and will soon be available on Qianqian Jingting.

Because Shen Lang has a "contract renewal" grudge with Sony, the other party will not choose to cooperate with his company.

Companies like Universal Music don't have this concern. They can't make it in the Chinese market anyway, so they might as well sell it and do Shen Lang a favor.

At present, the progress of promoting online music charging is relatively slow.

Because there are so many pirated copies, even more so than physical records.

Since there are free ones, why listen to the so-called "paid genuine ones".

Therefore, the copyright fees are now borne by Shen Lang himself.

In other words, excluding the ringback tone business, Qianqian Jingting is currently losing money.

This matter cannot be rushed, it can only be corrected slowly.

Another big event today is the finale of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. (End of this chapter)
