Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

There were 5 people inside the venue and 5 people outside, and everyone was rushing to a music festival.

When the lights on the stage suddenly lit up, Shen Lang appeared in that extremely gorgeous costume and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. He was like a king of music, fully displaying his talent and passion on the stage. Every movement and every look seemed to tell of his deep bond with music.

The audiences were all deeply moved by his moving singing and immersed in the familiar and moving melodies, the majestic atmosphere of "Dragon Fist", the graceful beauty of "Jiangnan", the freshness and refinement of "Chengdu"... Behind each song, there are stories that are warm, exciting, or touching, allowing people to regain the emotions that were once lost in the corners of time.

In addition to these well-loved classic old songs, Shen Lang also brought us new songs from his new album "Xian". Thanks to the popularity of the two TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" and "The Lotus Lantern 1", the songs related to them have also been loved by everyone.

New songs and old songs were performed alternately, giving the audience an unparalleled musical experience between nostalgia and freshness.

Among them, the interaction with the audience remains a highlight of this concert.

Among the many interactive sessions, song requesting is the most popular.

When Shen Lang smiled and asked the audience which song they wanted to listen to, the raised hands and enthusiastic shouts from the audience pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Overall, Shen Lang's tour in Hangzhou was undoubtedly a success. It not only broke the audience record for Hangzhou concerts, but also touched the hearts of countless people with the power of music.

"Do you feel that Brother Lang's singing skills seem to have improved a lot compared to before? Now when you listen to him singing, it feels even more appealing." Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of appreciation, and she sighed softly.

"Yeah, I feel the same way." Shu Chang nodded repeatedly, then analyzed thoughtfully, saying, "I think it has something to do with his 'relaxed' state when singing, which makes the singing skills that he couldn't do or didn't do well enough before now come out very naturally."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have been guests at several of Shen Lang's concerts. They watched each one of them carefully and never got tired of listening to them.

On the one hand, it is because they like Shen Lang from the bottom of their hearts and have a sincere admiration and love for him. On the other hand, it has to be said that listening to Shen Lang singing live is really a super enjoyable experience. His singing seems to have a kind of magic that can go straight into people's hearts and make people intoxicated.

Of course, Shen Lang’s improvement in singing skills is also one of the important reasons why everyone thinks his singing is getting better and better.

Shen Lang has always been hailed as the King of A4, because within his vocal range of A4, especially when he sings at full power at the pitch of A4, the coordination of various resonance cavities will achieve a seamless balance, which can be described as top-level texture.

However, correspondingly, when he sings above A4, the quality of his voice will begin to decline. He can sing excellent long notes at Bb4, but continuous articulation will become more and more difficult, and the texture will tend to be more like shouting. When it comes to B4, he will completely lose control, and whether he can sing up to that level basically depends on luck.

It is precisely because of this that many malicious haters often use this as one of the black spots to attack Shen Lang. However, now, his Bb4 is becoming more and more stable. Not only is the quality of long notes better than before, for example, when singing "Sha Po Lang", he has a deeper low-position support, and the participation of chest resonance is becoming more and more obvious; what's more terrifying is that the problem of continuous articulation has been completely overcome by him. For example, when singing "Full Fire Power", the one Bb4 after another in the chorus does not show any signs of fatigue, and is always under efficient and stable control.

You should know that for high notes of the same pitch, continuous articulation is usually more difficult than long notes. The reason is that continuous articulation means that the vowels are always changing, and the corresponding internal state of the mouth is also constantly changing, which ultimately makes the movement trajectory of the vocal cords and larynx more complicated.

All of this shows that Shen Lang's strong mixed voice ability is still improving.

After all, if you want to become the "world pop king", good songs, outstanding image, good voice and excellent singing skills are all indispensable.

Good songs are the foundation, able to trigger emotional resonance in the audience, allowing people to immerse themselves in beautiful melodies and moving lyrics;
A good image can leave a deep impression on people visually, attract the public's attention, and enhance one's own charm and affinity;

A good voice is like a precious musical instrument, an important carrier for conveying music and capable of producing pleasant and melodious sounds;

Excellent singing skills are the key to a perfect interpretation of the song. Through superb techniques and delicate expression, the music is more infectious and shocking.

Only by possessing all four can one stand out in the fiercely competitive world music scene.

This is also the reason why Shen Lang is not satisfied with the status quo and constantly strives to improve himself.

The title of "World Pop King" is a money-making tool.

Having this title means having extremely high popularity and influence in the global music market, being able to attract a large number of fans and listeners, thus bringing rich commercial returns.

On the night the concert ended, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli returned to the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" without stopping, Shu Chang also rushed back to the crew of "The Lotus Lantern 2", and Shen Lang also did not stay in Hangzhou for too long and went directly to Taibei.

This time he is going to shoot the MVs for the songs "I Remember" and "Honey Honey" because Stefanie Sun wants him to be the male lead. Naturally, he will do his best to fulfill this wish of his lover.

He could take this opportunity to bring them the title songs of the new albums of Angela Chang, Corey Wang and Yang Zongwei, and also give them some professional guidance.

"Xinling, good morning."

"Morning, Shaohan."

Angela Chang and Xinling Wang arrived at the company early and started chatting.

Zhang Shaohan blinked and asked casually, "What do you think Brother Lang wants us to do?"

Wang Xinling thought for a moment and guessed, "Concert guests?"

Zhang Shaohan shook her head and said, "But the Taibei Station is in June." "Then..." Wang Xinling frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Could it be a new album or a new play?"

This group of signed singers had a clear development plan in the first two years and released an album every year.

In addition, Wang Xinling, Angela Zhang and Fiona Sit are pursuing the dual routes of singer and actor, and will have a drama every year.

Last year, "Heaven's Wedding Dress" starring Wang Xinling and "Dolphin Bay Lovers" starring Zhang Shaohan achieved extremely dazzling results in Taiwan Province, winning the first and second place in the annual ratings respectively, thus setting off a wave of idol dramas.

Fiona Sit also starred in Jackie Chan's "Baby Project", in which she played the wife of Louis Koo's character.

In just one year, these three people quickly rose to become the new generation of divas in the entertainment industry thanks to the high-quality song and film and television resources provided by Shen Lang.

As for their new album and new drama, since they have only started a few months this year and they know that Shen Lang is busy, they are not in a hurry, but they are still full of expectations.

"It's possible." Zhang Shaohan nodded slightly in agreement.

"I'm so looking forward to it!" Wang Xinling showed a bright smile on her face.

The two of them chatted casually. In fact, the relationship between them could only be described as average. After all, they were just colleagues. However, because they were of similar age, they had relatively more topics to talk about.

Shen Lang's attitude towards the artists under his company is relatively open-minded. He will not force everyone to be good friends, but let nature take its course. In his opinion, competition is a normal phenomenon. After all, those who are more capable will get more rewards. However, what he absolutely cannot tolerate is artists "playing tricks" behind his back.

This management method not only gives artists a certain amount of free development space, but also clarifies the bottom line, which helps to create a relatively healthy competitive environment and allows capable and talented artists to stand out.

After a while, Yang Zongwei came. He greeted Angela Chang and Wang Xinling, and after exchanging a few words, he stopped talking.

In fact, the relationships between celebrities are mostly the same, most of them are "surface friends".

In the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, friendship is as precious as a giant panda. In their eyes, there is only interest. Under the trend of interests, any problem can be solved and anyone can be a brother or a best friend. However, as long as their own interests are damaged, no matter how good a brother or a best friend is, they will eventually become enemies.

Such situations occur quite often, and Zhang Shaohan has experienced it.

In the original time and space, she and Fan Weiqi were artists from the same company when they first debuted. The two had a very harmonious relationship in the company. Later, when her development was better, she often took the initiative to mention Fan Weiqi on important occasions to help increase her popularity. On many occasions, the two of them could always be seen inseparable, which became a true friendship in the entertainment industry that is touching.

However, all this changed after an accident.

In 2008, Angela Chang went to Canada for treatment of her family's hereditary heart disease. During this period, her mother spread rumors, claiming that she made a lot of money but was not filial to her, which led to her being criticized by the public.

As her best friend, Fan Wei not only did not defend her, but instead stepped on her, further deepening the public's disgust towards Shaohan Zhang. Her behavior was out of her own selfish motives. Not only did she snatch Zhang Shaohan's business and endorsements, she even poached Zhang Shaohan's agent.

As a result, Angela Chang recovered and returned to the entertainment industry. After she gained a foothold, she revealed the whole story of what happened that year. It turned out that her mother thought she had a heart disease and might not be able to work and make money like her father, so she and her lover took away all her money. Thus, her mother and Christine Fan's disguises were torn off.

The complexity of the entertainment industry is far beyond imagination, and the friendship between stars may collapse in an instant because of a certain incident.

But this is not absolute, there is also true friendship, such as Hu Xuan and Yuan Hong.

In the original time and space, the two were college classmates. They hit it off at first sight, and then they slowly got to know each other, became more and more familiar with each other, and finally became inseparable.

After graduation, Hu Xuan became famous and signed with Tangren as an actor. However, Yuan Hong's development was not smooth and he was still an unknown little actor. In the end, Hu Xuan gave him a hand and introduced Yuan Hong to Tangren.

However, an accident happened. Hu Xuan suffered a serious car accident while filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He had more than 100 stitches on his neck and right eye. His assistant died on the spot in the car accident, and he also suffered great physical and mental damage.

That year, Yuan Hong turned down all the work, which was a huge loss for an actor who was on the rise. For a whole year, he accompanied Hu Xuan to chat and talk with him, and took him out to relax, helping Hu Xuan to get out of his emotional low.

Hu Xuan once said in an interview: "Without Yuan Hong, there would be no me today." Yuan Hong always responded humbly: "Come on, why are you so proud? I will surpass you sooner or later!" This close brotherly relationship conveys deep friendship and trust.

In fact, Shen Lang also has such good friends, such as Zhang Guorong, Yang Junyi, and Wang Lihong. Precisely because this friendship is so precious, he has always cherished it very much.

At 9 o'clock, Shen Lang showed up on time. He first asked about the recent situation of Angela Chang, Wang Xinling, and Yang Zongwei, and then got to the point: "This is the title song of your new album. Go back and get familiar with it. We will start recording the day after tomorrow afternoon. Time is a bit tight. If there are any questions, we can talk about it then."

The three of them said that there was no problem. They all knew that two days was indeed a bit short, but they were full of confidence. After all, it was just one song, not a whole album, so the pressure was relatively less.

This time, the songs Shen Lang selected for them all highlight their respective characteristics, namely "Invisible Wings" by Angela Chang, "Honey" by Xinling Wang, and "Actually Nothing" by Alfred Yang.

First of all, the song "Invisible Wings" is so amazing that it defeated a series of big names such as Jay Chou, Eason Chan, and JJ Lin to win the 2006 Song of the Year Award, and also made Angela Chang appear on the 2007 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Secondly, the song "Honey" is also a classic, with sales of 120 million copies across Asia, thus establishing Wang Xinling's status as the "Sweetheart Queen".

Finally, the song "Actually Nothing" is less popular because it does not have complex instruments, too many chords, a big plot, or distinct layers. However, Yang Zongwei sang out a story, a painting, and a journey of the heart with the most primitive love and strength, and successfully won the "Channel [V] Best Song of the Year" award at the 18th Global Chinese Music Chart.

As long as the three of them perform normally, their fame and popularity will rise to a higher level after this album. (End of this chapter)
