Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 290: He made a music video with just one woman, is there enough music to go around?

Gao Yuanyuan raised the feather duster in her hand and started hitting Tang Wen.

When the force landed on him, it became so light that it couldn't even kill a mosquito.

it is good!
You're going to hit me with a stick, aren't you?

You'll see how I repay you later.

He stuck out his neck, giving the impression that he was either going to kill him or he'd do what he said and call me a bitch...

Seeing him act shamelessly, Da Meiyuan was both angry and amused. She glared at him and went into the kitchen.

Eh?
What do you mean?
Did he go to get a kitchen knife?

Certainly not.

Yuanyuan is a gentle girl.

Gao Yuanyuan went to boil water.

Ten minutes or so later, the water for washing feet was ready.

She took a small stool from the kitchen and sat down opposite Tang Wen:

"My young master, shall we test the water temperature?"

Tang Wen put down his phone and frowned: "I'll do this myself."

Gao Yuanyuan: ...How come I never noticed before that he was so annoying?
"Moreover, woman," Tang Wen suddenly became domineering, lifting the beautiful woman's chin from above, "I don't like the title 'young master'."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed in exasperation, gritting her teeth as if she wanted to bite him, but still wanting to hear just how outrageous he was, she asked cooperatively, "Then what should I call you?"

"You haven't washed Dad's feet yet, so I'll take the loss... Hey, Yuanyuan, what are you doing with those scissors?"

"I'll cut it off for you and wash it thoroughly!"

Tang Wen quickly pulled her back, and the two rolled around on the sofa.

Deep down, Da Meiyuan didn't mind washing Tang Wen's feet.

Tang Wen has always helped her in every aspect of her career and life.

Aside from Ming, she did almost nothing for him.

He got off the sofa and straightened his torn clothes.

She pulled her long hair up, pursed her pink lips, and made a request: "I'll help you wash, and you have to help me wash later too."

Is there such a good thing?
Gao Yuanyuan's feet are beautiful, perfectly proportioned, white and long.

She's just as good as any other woman around her, well, except for Lin Chih-ling.

"It depends on your performance."

"..."

Da Meiyuan lowered her head, her slender hands dipping into the basin of water without the slightest hint of disgust: "Your feet are quite pretty."

The sound of water rushing.

After washing for a while, Tang Wen commented with satisfaction: "Not bad, but your technique is a bit clumsy. You'll get better with practice."

"Dream on! It's your turn to wash them!" She pulled out a tissue to dry her hands and started taking off her socks.

Tang Wen checked his watch and realized it was getting late. He picked up the basin of water and went to Gao Yuanyuan's bathroom, but didn't come out for a while.

"It takes so long to get water?" Meiyuan complained.

"There seems to be something wrong with your faucet."

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan got up suspiciously, slipped on her slippers, and walked into the bedroom.

"Hey! Why are you all naked?"

clack.

The bedroom door closed, and Tang Wen, swaying his three-and-a-half-pound frame, said, "Of course you need to take off your clothes to take a shower. Didn't you want to wash your feet? Come on, I'll help you."

"No need, I don't need you," Da Meiyuan said, resisting verbally, but her eyes had their own thoughts, turning into Doraemon, unable to look away.

“How can I not do it? I’m a man of my word.” Without waiting for a reply, Tang Wen pulled the man into the bathroom.

The door slammed shut.

"Sigh, I'll take it off myself, you don't need to."

The sound of water sounded.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

"Hey? Why are you lifting my foot so high?"

"Let me wash your feet."

"It hurts, I can't do the splits."

"Now I have to criticize you..."

Other actresses can do it, but you can't. How will you improve in the future?

I know that Da Meiyuan has a special physical condition.

His feelings of pity and chivalry were dispelled.

The opportunity to spend the night in one's boudoir is rare.

The person was so hydrated, and then stood up and kicked all night.

The storm has passed.

The next day, when Tang Wen woke up.

I saw several tear tracks on Da Meiyuan's face.

I put my hand under the covers and indulged my urge for a while.

Da Meiyuan was still fast asleep, ignoring his antics.

It looks like he won't wake up until the afternoon.

But Tang Wen had to leave; tomorrow was the seventh day of the lunar month, and he needed to get to Jiangnan tonight.

After he got dressed, the driver brought breakfast to the door. He quickly ate his breakfast, left a portion for Gao Yuanyuan, and went straight out.

Inside the Mercedes-Benz van, Xia Tian was sitting in the back seat, along with Zhang Ran, who was in charge of the real estate sector.

"Good morning, Chairman Tang."

"Thank you both for coming with me." Tang Wen didn't have time to keep an eye on things in Jiangnan; it involved a huge investment, and Xia Tian, ​​a young and beautiful girl, couldn't handle the situation.

Zhang Ran, a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, will be accompanied by professional supervisors hired by a third party to oversee the construction in Jiangnan for a period of time.

Tang Wen had explained to him the special nature of this project.

Upon learning the identity of the person from Jiangnan, Zhang Ran gladly accepted the long-term business trip assignment.

In fact, with such a landmark project in a province, and with Secretary-General Zhang personally overseeing it, no one dared to cause any trouble.

Some minor aspects are unavoidable.

As long as the quality and construction period can be guaranteed, Tang Wen will naturally turn a blind eye to some things.

"You two have already eaten."

The two nodded, and Xia Tian handed them a document.

Yesterday was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day his Chinese album was released.

The document contains information sent by Warner.

Warner Music prepared inventory in advance and distributed millions of records across Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

During the Lunar New Year holiday, the tape factory worked overtime and was not idle at all, rushing to produce tapes and CDs.

With rampant piracy, for a record to sell well, it must capitalize on the first few weeks after its release.

When pirate companies in various regions reach full production capacity, cheap pirated tapes will devastate the legitimate market.

This is almost an unsolvable problem.

"Everyone at Warner Music is very optimistic about your new album and has a lot of confidence in it."

Tang Wen nodded. He didn't do commercial performances, so even if his album was a hit, it wouldn't generate much profit.

The car left the capital and headed south.

The three of them chatted about work in the car.

At noon, Tang Wen received a call from the president of Warner China.

The conversation naturally revolved around the album.

His second Mandarin album is called "The Splendor of the Tang Dynasty".

Tang Wen's favorite name—"The Celestial Empire"—was never used.

"The Splendor of the Tang Dynasty" also has ten songs.

Besides "The New Drunken Concubine" and "Blooming Life" which appeared on the Spring Festival Gala,

There's also "Seven Mile Fragrance," a song he co-wrote with Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan.

It is one of the main products.

Sparrows, summer, saury, tomatoes... The lyrics are not like lyrics, but more like a modern poem about youth.

In fact, Fang Wenshan had the same feeling when he first saw Tang Wen's lyrics.

In the original timeline, Jay Chou's album "Seven Mile Fragrance" sold over three million copies in Asia.

This solidified his status as an Asian superstar.

Tang Wen's album is even stronger than the original "Seven Mile Fragrance" album.

As for the two songs Jay Chou wrote for Tang Wen, the Cantonese song "Dedication" was given to Wang Zuxian to sing.

Her new single for the new year will be released in a while.

"Broken String" was given to Fan Bingbing.

After a period of training by a professional vocal coach, both of them have decent singing skills.

As long as one is not tone-deaf, with proper training, most people can reach the level of a beginner singer.

If you can't sing rock, you can sing pop; if you can't sing pop, you can sing folk...

There are always songs that suit the characteristics of your personal voice.

The album's second single, also by Jay Chou, is "Hair Like Snow".

A representative work of traditional Chinese style.

Both the lyrics and the music are beautiful.

The images of Langya Moon, beautiful women, and bronze mirrors are recombined to tell a beautiful story.

The high notes in this song reach C5.

For Tang Wen, it's a piece of cake. But for Jay Chou, especially Jay Chou one or two decades from now, it would be very difficult for him to sing.

Tang Wen: Jie Lun, don't blame me. I just took a song from your future album that you couldn't sing well.

The third and final single was finally not Jay Chou's.

Lin Junjie – "A Thousand Years Later"

The inspiration for this song comes from Star Wars.

According to the original author, it tells the story of a robot (number 89757) who wakes up a thousand years later to find that everything has changed and his loved ones are no longer by his side.

In its original timeline, it held the number one spot on the global Chinese music charts for 12 consecutive weeks.

At the same time, it is considered a sign that JJ Lin has transformed from a talented singer into a national singer.

JJ Lin is from Singapore and won the local most popular song of the year, becoming the first pop song selected by the Singapore Ministry of Education as a case study for Chinese language teaching materials.

Given Tang Wen's background, this song is unlikely to become a teaching example.

Not counting the two songs that became popular after the Spring Festival Gala.

The album still has three main tracks.

The quality of each song is getting better and better.

Its artistic content is at least several stories high.

Apart from Tang Wen and Wang Zuxian's previous album.

Almost incomparable.

No rivals!

Life in Full Bloom

The New Drunken Concubine

Seven Mile Fragrance

Hair Like Snow

Besides "A Thousand Years Later", there are five other poems.

Two songs by Xiao Gang and Zhou Chuanxiong: "Lonely Sandbar" and "The Window That Can't Be Closed."

It is a classic of sad love songs.

These days, there's no such thing as a "simp"; deep affection has a market in the dating world.

Many girls fall for this.

Even Taiwanese idol dramas have used many sentimental tropes...

Jie Lun and Lin JJ copied it, so naturally they didn't let Wang Lihong off the hook either.

I also picked up two classic songs:
The Sun and Moon in My Heart

If you're not a fan of Wang Leehom's songs, you might not be able to remember how they're sung just by looking at the song titles.

But as soon as they see the lyrics, most people can immediately hum along:
Holding a Gesang flower in my hand
So beautiful that I forgot to take it off.

The other song, "A Simple Song," is less popular.

It remains a youthful memory for those born in the 80s and 90s.

For the last song, Tang Wen hesitated for a long time between Jay Chou's "Retreat" and his acquaintance Zheng Jun's "Run Away".

In the end, they let Jeremy Lin go.

I chose the rock song "Run Away".

This song was released in 06 and features a variety of singing styles, including Tibetan chanting style and Shaanxi crying style.

The verses feature low-pitched chest resonance, while the chorus explodes to a powerful C5, showcasing impressive virtuosity.

Later, it was selected as a textbook for lyrics research in the Chinese Department of Peking University.

It is highly regarded in the music industry.

Tang Wen personally thinks it's better than "Life in Full Bloom".

Unfortunately, the name "Runaway" was destined to never appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The album was released on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, discussions about the album on Renren.com had already become quite lively.

The first singer to receive a review was Wang Fei, who had recently joined Renren.com.

[Highly recommend Tang Wen's new album "The Splendor of the Tang Dynasty"! I listened to it all night long! I didn't even play mahjong! Another amazing album, he's truly a singer-songwriter genius!]

Princess is also a legend in the Chinese music scene.

Although she hadn't been on Renren for long and hadn't done much promotion.

Music lovers and fans, still attracted by the scent, came knocking.

After the first week, she had over 20 followers!
Guided by Renren.com, many young people with artistic tastes wrote their feelings about music and long reviews on her homepage.

Similar to what was written on NetEase Cloud Music in later generations.

She exclaimed in admiration, and the first batch of fans who bought the album quickly followed suit.

Each song is more stunning than the last.

I thought I was the only one who stayed up late listening to the lyrics, so excited I couldn't sleep. I didn't expect even the diva did it!

【…】

As Tang Wen's good friend, Zhou Xun has also joined Renren.com.

Someone left a message on the Princess's homepage: 【Princess, how can we steal a few good songs from Old Tang?】

She is known for her love of music.

As soon as the album was released yesterday, I had my assistant buy 20 copies.

I'm planning to get Tang Wen's autograph and give it to him as a favor later.

Despite Tang Wen's albums selling millions of copies, autographed albums are extremely rare on the market.

Even those in the industry find it very difficult to obtain one.

Most of them were lost to Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Bingbing, and a few other women.

Aside from them, it's very difficult for anyone else to get a signed copy of Tang Wen's album.

Scarcity drives up value, and the album has already been resold for several hundred yuan a piece.

There's a price but no market for it.

[We've captured Young Master Zhou alive!]

[Zhou Gongzi has joined Renren.com? When did this happen?]

[What's the big deal? Just think about her relationship with Tang Wen.]

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xun saw this comment and personally responded: "Old Tang and I are just friends."

Netizens got excited.

Some people believe it, some people don't.

However, most people still believe it.

Firstly, Tang Wen's women all rushed to reveal their identities, afraid of falling behind, unlike her who went to such lengths to explain.

Secondly, Zhou Xun's romantic rumors were also rampant.

Entertainment news followed up with reports on Tang Wen's album.

Friends and acquaintances in the industry, including Liu Huan, Tian Zhen, and Zhou Jielun, all called to congratulate Tang Wen.

During the interview, they also helped promote the product.

Not to mention women like Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Jingwen, and Fan Bingbing.

Buying hundreds of tapes and CDs at once.

They also made their announcements on Renren.com.

Dong Xuan was the first to come up with a creative idea.

Accompanied by the music of "Hair Like Snow," she put on a white wig and danced a traditional Chinese dance, which she then filmed and posted on Renren.com.

[Sugar Dong] CP fans are as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.

Many people said that Dong Xuan should be the one to direct the music video for this song.

Dong Xuan is the true love, the rightful wife!

The other women weren't sincere...

Dong Xuan was secretly satisfied; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Let's see if anyone still dares to say she's "out of favor"!
But her move undoubtedly sparked a new round of conflict.

Netizens who envied Tang Wen gloated: "Tang Wen's new album has 10 songs in total. Assuming he only has one music video per woman, is that enough songs?"

The topic quickly gained traction.

Netizens, always eager for drama, flocked to the pages of a group of female celebrities, leaving comments asking them which music video they were going to film.

Renren.com did not intervene; instead, it happily watched as netizens made fun of their own chairman.

And that's how the hype started, isn't it?

Once this wave passes, Renren's valuation will rise again!
Tang Wen was unaware of this.

On the way to Jiangnan, Warner CEO Xu was on the phone with him the whole time.

They were talking about pirated albums.

Tang Wen's performance of "Red-Clad Ladies" on the Spring Festival Gala made many people realize that he had powerful connections.

Mr. Xu is one of them.

He called to test Tang Wen, to see if he intended to influence the promulgation of some policies to curb the rampant piracy of cassette tapes.

Tang Wen was speechless.

If he's determined to pull strings, given his current influence, he could indeed launch an anti-piracy campaign.

However, the losses outweigh the gains.

Even after the setback, what if the album sells ten million copies?

It's just a few tens of millions in income.

However, the relationships that need to be established and the favors owed cannot be compensated for with this amount of money.

Faced with Mr. Xu's sighs and lamentations, Tang Wen came up with an idea: "Let's think of a way to make everyone proud to buy genuine products."

"Mr. Tang, do you have any good ideas? Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to a drink." Mr. Xu said hopefully.
