HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 327 [327] Who is it! Such a big entourage! Ah, it's Qi Yuan, then it's alright.
"You're Beautiful" and "Baby" broke into the top ten on Hong Kong Commercial Radio with the help of "Bouquet".

At this time, the people and media in Hong Kong discovered a terrifying fact.

Looking around, it seems that the entire Hong Kong Commercial Radio is almost entirely controlled by Qi Yuan.

The current top ten rankings are as follows: "You're Beautiful" is number ten.

Dr. Chen ranked ninth in "King of Karaoke".

"Love Wrong" ranked eighth.

"Baby" ranked seventh.

Liu Dehua's "Men Don't Cry" ranked sixth.

The Princess's "Love Letters to Myself" ranked fifth.

"Far Away" ranked fourth.

"Today You're Marrying Me" came in third place.

Chen Huilin's "Flower Universe" (Second Place)

"Exaggeration" ranked first.

Qi Yuan alone occupied six of the top ten spots, completely outshining all the other superstars in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Commercial Radio is one of the three major radio stations in Hong Kong and is also the most popular radio station among young people.

On the other two major radio stations, Qi Yuan's record was equally impressive.

Qi Yuan occupied five of the top ten spots on Hong Kong Radio.

Metro Radio primarily features Cantonese pop songs, and Qi Yuan's dominance is somewhat weaker, occupying only three seats.

The Hong Kong film industry has just experienced a major upheaval, and now it's the Hong Kong music industry's turn.

Hong Kong's singers and music industry has collapsed.

There was a time when Hong Kong pop music dominated the mainland market and topped the radio charts.

Today, Qi Yuan, a mainlander, has broken into Hong Kong and now controls half of the Hong Kong radio stations. No, he's more than half! Don't they have any pride?

Jay Chou, who is based in Taiwan, is also a little frustrated because his song "Back to the Past" was squeezed out of the top ten by two English songs by Chi Yuan.

Previously, "Back to the Past" was a top ten contender on Hong Kong Commercial Radio, ranking ninth or tenth, a position it held firmly.

The album "Octave Space" does not have any songs that are particularly popular, and its overall quality is not as good as "Jay" and "Fantasy".

Because of this album, Jay Chou received the same treatment as Qi Yuan, and was criticized by Hong Kong and Taiwan media for having lost her creative spark.

The difference is that the media's claim that Qi Yuan had lost his creative spark came before the release of his album.

After the album was released, everyone noticed that Qi Yuan was innovating every time, and everyone fell silent.

Jay Chou was criticized for losing her creative spark after the album's release.

The media and music critics gave their reasons: "Octave Space" lacked innovation and merely copied the success of "Fantasy," and its quality was not as good as "Fantasy."

To be complacent and stagnant is tantamount to having exhausted one's talents.

Jay Chou is very dissatisfied and is said to be preparing to do something big.

……

Just as Charlene Choi was about to contact Qi Yuan, she discovered that Qi Yuan had left Hong Kong for Taiwan.

She stomped her feet in frustration, having missed another opportunity.

It's all Wang Pangzi's fault! What was a grown man like him doing asking Qi Yuan to dinner last night? If he had just given her the chance to treat Qi Yuan to dessert, she would have easily won him over.
Wang Jing, who was working on a novel at his company, sneezed. Strange, who was cursing him?

……

Taiwan.

Qi Yuan first went back to Warner.

Zhang Hao asked Qi Yuan to give Dai Pei Ni a piece of his mind. Dai Pei Ni had recently come up with a pretty good song and planned to include it as the lead single on her new album.

Zhang Hao was a little worried and wanted to ask Qi Yuan to listen to his opinion.

If that doesn't work, then ask Qi Yuan to help write one.

Qi Yuan knew which song it was as soon as he heard the intro; it was the song he sang while pinching his thigh, called "How".

After listening to the song, Qi Yuan said to Zhang Hao, "It's very good. I think it can be the title track of the album."

Zhang Hao completely trusted Qi Yuan's judgment and taste; if Qi Yuan said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

Qi Yuan's past achievements are there for all to see and can be checked at any time.

Dai Pei-ni is a very interesting person. She has her own principles when it comes to music, which can also be described as being particularly stubborn.

In her past life, she had a principle: she only sang her own songs. Despite repeated defeats at the Golden Melody Awards, she never considered seeking outside help, making her a truly stubborn person.

After being nominated for the award for thirteen years, she finally got her wish and won the Best Album Producer Award that she had always dreamed of.

This is related to her family background. Her father is the principal of Southern College in Malaysia. She was born into a scholarly family and excelled academically and was multi-talented from a young age.

Perhaps for her, music is truly just a hobby, something that makes her feel comfortable.

She knew that if she asked Qi Yuan to handle the project, she could become as famous as Zhang Shaohan and Sun Yanzi. She just wanted to make herself comfortable and sing the music she liked.

It's perfectly normal for children from well-off families to have their own artistic pursuits.

Zhang Shaohan is the kind of girl who is terrified of poverty. She clearly only wants to sing, but the company arranges for her to act, so she has to act. They arrange for her to play close sisters with people she doesn't like, so she has to accept it. She has no resources and no background, so she has no choice at all.

……

The next day.

November 25th is the day "The Bouquet" was released in Taiwan.

Jia Jingwen and her friends had been paying attention to the movie "Bouquet" for a long time, and Media Asia had done a lot of promotion in Taiwan.

Two months ago, Jia Jingwen wouldn't have had time to pay attention to any information from the outside world.

She was also an unlucky person, with similar early experiences to Zhang Shaohan.

In her early years, Jia Jingwen followed her father to Beijing to develop her career. Her father did business in the mainland, and she studied at an art academy in Tianjin. She was also admitted to the 93 class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, where she became classmates with Xu Jinglei.

Less than a year later, her father's business failed and he was diagnosed with cancer. She had to drop out of school and return to Taiwan to take care of her family and work to pay off their debts.

She's been incredibly busy these past few years, filming 16 TV series in two years. Recently, she finally paid off all her debts, and now she has the mood and time to go shopping and watch movies.

To be honest, Jia Jingwen felt a little apologetic. In the past, when she had to pay off debts, she would only buy pirated copies of Qi Yuan's records in order to save money.

Just then, Qi Yuan's new movie was showing in Taiwan, and she decided to support Qi Yuan with two movie tickets with her friends.

Movie tickets in Taiwan are not cheap, costing around NT$260, or about RMB65.

After watching the whole movie, Jia Jingwen thought it was pretty good. The good-looking combination of Qi Yuan and Fan Xiaopang was pleasing to the eye, and the movie visuals were beautiful.

Jia Jingwen felt that the artsy and intellectual personas of the male and female leads were a bit pretentious.

In her opinion, these two people weren't poor enough; they were both under twenty and burdened with debt, just like her, so they were guaranteed to be free of any pretentious, artsy attitudes.

After the movie ended, the lights in the theater came back on, and the audience who had been clapping just moments before suddenly started screaming uncontrollably, with several girls even cracking their voices.

Jia Jingwen and her friend looked around and saw more than a dozen security personnel dressed in black escorting two men and a woman into the theater.

My friend was a little annoyed: "Who is it! Such a big entourage, needing more than a dozen people to protect him, what contribution did he make... Ah! Qi Yuan! Qi Yuan!! Qi Yuan!!! I love you!!!"

Jia Jingwen: "..."

She finally witnessed what it meant to change one's expression in the blink of an eye.

She saw the person's face clearly: handsome features, bright eyes, and a commanding presence. It really was Qi Yuan.

Jia Jingwen was a little surprised. She came to see a movie and the main creative team surprised her by showing up in the theater? This was definitely worth the ticket price.
