Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Chapter 178 A New Victim: Zhao Min from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"

In the eyes of many people in the industry, time seems to have sped up since Shen Can debuted.

It's as if the Creator pressed the "fast forward" button on the world.

It's important to know that celebrities who are currently enjoying a successful career are very busy. They have to attend commercial performances, film movies, hold concerts, participate in official events, brand events, and so on. They are either rushing to attend events or on their way to attend events.

This is how people like this perceive Shen Can.

Late September: "Wow, a new talent has emerged in the music scene, and their songwriting is quite good."

Mid-October: "This newcomer is pretty impressive."

Late October: "What the heck? You're telling me this is a newbie?"

Early November: "Damn, is he going to challenge Li Yuchun and Jay Chou to a duel? Is he trying to slay gods and prove his worth?"

Mid-November: "Holy crap, this is a real big shot, I'm bowing down!"

The upgrade was too fast.

Before anyone could react, Shen Can had already reached the maximum level.

Generally speaking, newcomers can only anxiously try their luck on the outside of the music scene, knowing the entrance but finding it difficult to delve deeper.

Shen Can, on the other hand, charged straight in, seemingly unimpeded by any obstacle.

Now, Shen Can has actually given his song to Wan Qian.

Admittedly, this is not a surprising thing in the music industry. It is normal for singer-songwriters to write songs for others. Jay Chou has also written songs for other singers, such as Jolin Tsai, Eason Chan, Jordan Chan, and Snake Band.

But how long have you been in the industry, Shen Can?

You've just reached the top of the music scene, and you're already praising others?

What I'm saying is, can't we give the music industry a little breathing room? It can't take this kind of relentless criticism.

Of course, there was more envy and jealousy.

At this moment.

In Huang Ling's QQ group, countless messages flooded the screen.

"Why not me?"

"I want retirement insurance too!"

"Wan Qian was given to Shen Can, wasn't she? Otherwise, why would Shen Can treat her so well?"

"Wan Qian is quite shrewd."

"I'm an older sister too, I can do it too."

"This is an instant hit! It's so good it makes my eyes water. It's more profitable than winning the lottery!"

'

The messages in the group chat were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Some people are not optimistic about Wan Qian's songs.

Beijing.

Wang Feng sat in the computer chair, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

"Being famous on your own and promoting others are two different things."

"Jay Chou is a great songwriter, but did he make Landy Wen famous? Landy Wen is the original singer of 'Rooftop,' but in everyone's memory, this song is still sung by Jay Chou."

"Does Wan Qian want to become famous with just one song by Shen Can?"

Wang Feng shook his head.

After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, "Shen Can has only been in the industry for a short time, yet he's already reached the top of the music scene—"

at the same time.

On the other side of the capital.

In a corner of the music scene that no one paid attention to, Hu Jing let out a long sigh.

"Go ahead and roll it, roll it all up, it'll kill me!"

"You don't even see me!"

Hu Jing's voice is that of a mature, sophisticated woman, but it is filled with a sense of melancholy.

In November, not only did Jay Chou, Shen Can, and Li Yuchun release new songs in the Chinese music scene, she did it too.

Moreover, it was released as an album called "Scorpio," which was produced and strongly supported by renowned Singaporean musician Lee Si-song and top domestic producer Zhang Yadong.

She spent over a year working on this album, including song selection, recording, learning dance, and filming music videos. She even went on stage to promote the album while ill.

Finally, the album was released on November 8th, avoiding the peak period of intense competition at the beginning of the month.

However, Shen Can, that crazy guy who loves to cause trouble, went to Beijing and came back to fight with the anti-China intellectuals, which directly suppressed the popularity of her new album.

Following closely behind, Shen Can released a new song, "A Hundred Years in the Human World," and is now about to release two more new songs, "Underwater" and "The Ordinary Road." Wan Qian is also releasing a song soon.

Her album will fare even worse.

Shen Can didn't target her, but he brought her an unexpected disaster.

Hu Jing's inner thoughts were: "Shen Canzhen, just keep pinning me down and rubbing me in the ground! Can't you just leave me alone?"

"The music industry is just too tough to survive in."

"6

Hu Jing felt a little sad and really wanted to cry.

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

On the island of Taiwan, Cyndi Wang breathed a sigh of relief. The "Sweetheart Queen" patted her well-proportioned chest, secretly rejoicing and even feeling like she had survived a disaster.

Her new album will be released at the end of November. She's not worried about anything else, but she's afraid it will clash with the release date of Shen Can's new song.

Although Shen Can has only been in the industry for a short time, he is really terrifying.

Despite his young age, he exudes a terrifying aura of a music industry tyrant.

"We missed each other! Thank goodness." Wang Xinling patted her chest again, her legs feeling slightly weak.

It's not that I'm afraid of Shen Can; it's just that I avoid fighting him if I can avoid it.

"He's releasing new songs on the 24th and 26th, so it's impossible for him to release another new song at the end of November, right? As for the song that Shen Can wrote for Wan Qian, I heard it's an album, but the specific release date hasn't been set yet, so it probably won't be released anytime soon."

The female assistant standing next to Wang Xinling looked at her and said in a sweet Taiwanese accent, "Sis, what if he specifically targets you? Just like he did with Jolin (Tsai Yi-lin)?"

"Hey, don't jinx it."

With Shen Can's terrifying record of "Three-Rider Queen" still fresh in her mind, Wang Xinling had no intention of being "Rider Master" by him.

Although she will inevitably clash with Shen Can on the music charts after releasing her song at the end of the month, she released her song later while Shen Can released her song first, so there is no chance that Shen Can will surpass her from behind for the time being.

Although Shen Can will still surpass me when he releases a new song in December, by then it will have been a while since I released my album, and netizens won't be paying attention to it.

Her request wasn't high; she just hoped that online discussions about "Shen Canqi, the leader of the cult" would stop, as it was too offensive and embarrassing.

"I hope this young man can be a good person," Wang Xinling said.

Online, fans of Shen Can and casual viewers didn't care what the singers in the music industry thought; they were all excited.

"Finally, we're going to hear 'Under the Sea' and 'The Ordinary Road'!!"

"And there's 'Sheng Sheng Man,' I never expected that Wan Qian would sing this song."

"As a fan of Boss Wan, I thank Shen Can on behalf of my wife."

"If the moon hasn't come yet in the novel, and the title is given to Jiang Wanning, will it also be given to Wan Qian in real life?"

"Some people say that Shen Can and Wan Qian have some kind of shady deal. I want to say that you think too dirty about the entertainment industry. How could that be? You can tell from the fact that Shen Can helped Yang Rong write marketing posts that Shen Can knows how to repay kindness. Boss Wan has appeared in Shen Can's music video, so it's normal for Shen Can to write songs for her."

"Brother Volcano, will you be writing a gossip post about your new song release? I'm itching to know!"

"Shen Can, let's talk about this. With your and Wan Qian's good looks, how about we make a movie together? I'd love to see it."

"I'm very interested in the song '囍' from the novel. It must be a very festive song. I'm currently planning my wedding and would like to use it at the ceremony. When will you be able to write it?"

"Shen Can, we're begging you, please write 'Love O2O'! Stop keeping us in suspense!"

'

""

Shen Can's blog received more than 10,000 comments in a short period of time.

This is the popularity of Shen Can, the rising star in the music scene!

As time went on, November 24th arrived, the day "Undersea" was officially released.

At 8:30 a.m., Shen Can arrived at Blue Phoenix.

Good morning, Chan-ge.

The receptionist, Huang Ying, greeted Shen Can.

"Have you eaten? I have extra steamed buns," Shen Can said.

"I've eaten," Xiao Huang waved his hand.

While the internet has been buzzing with activity these past few days, Shen Can hasn't been idle either.

Regarding his driver's license, Shen Can has completed the second part of the driving test and is preparing for the third part.

As the saying goes, if your skills aren't up to par, avoid traveling to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.

Having driven in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan for many years, his skills were definitely up to par, but unfortunately, there were limits to the number of hours he could take to get a driver's license, so he had to complete the required training.

He can only take the next test after completing the course; otherwise, he could get his driver's license directly.

In terms of novels, he has completed the plot related to the two songs "Sheng Sheng Man" and "If the Moon Has Not Yet Come".

In terms of songs, he completed the production of the instrumental track for "If the Moon Has Not Yet Come".

It's worth mentioning that he plans to perform this song with Wan Qian, learning from Xu Liang's techniques to help female players rank up.

What was that saying again—"When Xu Liang brings a girl along, his magical power doubles"?

He not only wants to follow Xu Sangao's path, but also Xu Liang's path.

This song is also one of the songs in his upcoming debut album, "Life's Journey".

After the release of "If the Moon Hasn't Come Yet", only three songs remained to be produced for the album: "Horse Herding City", "The Wind Rises" and "Big Fish".

Regarding the number of song ringtone downloads:

"Rice Fragrance": Over 900 million views.

"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky": Over 920 million views.

"People Like Me": Over 860 million views.

"What's Wrong?": Over 940 million views.

"Fairy Tale Town": Over 430 million views.

"Sorrow": Over 960 million views.

The Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion has been viewed more than 1000 million times.

The total number of downloads for all released songs as ringtones has exceeded 5000 million.

The main users of ringback tones are concentrated in the 15-25 age group, and the user group of Shen Can's songs is also concentrated in this age group.

In addition, it's worth mentioning the financial aspects as well.

Shen Can received his income for the month, which included the ringtone revenue from all his songs in October and the copyright revenue from music platforms, totaling approximately 14.6 million yuan before tax. After tax deductions, he received 913 million yuan.

With the addition of the 3.5 million yuan from Starlight Brilliant Company, the total after tax is 219.35 million yuan. Shen Can now has savings of over 10 million yuan, approaching 13 million yuan.

but----

"1.5 million."

Inside Blue Phoenix Company, Shen Can sat in a chair, thinking about the number of ringtone downloads, and sighed softly.

He's already considered an expert, but when it comes to making money with ringback tones, there are people even more daring than him!

Zheng Yuan garnered 1.5 million ringtone downloads with just one song, "Ten Thousand Reasons".

In addition, songs like "Two Butterflies" and "There's a Kind of Love Called Letting Go" have also seen high download numbers for ringtones, with the former reaching over 100 million and the latter 80 million.

He himself accumulated 5000 million downloads by releasing several hit songs in succession.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that his songs have not been released for long.

Even the earliest two books, "Rice Fragrance" and "A Person Like Me," were only released two months ago.

However, what made Shen Can happy was that he had finally caught the bus of the golden age of ringback tones.

In the future, after the era of ringback tones ends, he will still have exclusive copyright income from songs to earn.

It's worth noting that by the time Jay Chou was 25, his song copyright revenue alone was in the hundreds of millions.

No wonder he has no motivation to write songs and just wants to lie down.

When a singer reaches the top of the music scene, what could be easier than making money?

Doing nothing all day but lying in bed playing on your phone, you can still earn money continuously.

If you drop 100 yuan on the ground, you won't even bother to pick it up.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Can opened his laptop and logged into his blog and Tianya forum.

He's releasing a new song today, and he plans to write a gossip post about a celebrity to gain some popularity points.

He had already exhausted himself by redeeming fourteen rewards, and needed to accumulate more as soon as possible for a rainy day.

"Slap slap slap—"

Shen Can's hands flew across the keyboard.

In the blink of an eye, the title had already been typed out.

[The most beautiful woman under 170cm in height on Taiwan—Zhao Min!]

To be precise, it's Alyssa Chia, the actress who played "Zhao Min" in Gao Yuanyuan's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Shen Can hadn't originally planned to write about her, but Gao Yuanyuan mentioned her when he spoke to her on the phone yesterday.

This woman is best friends with Gao Yuanyuan. Gao Yuanyuan gossiped on the phone that Jia Jingwen and her husband have a lot of conflicts and may get divorced.

Shen Can knew about the divorce.

Ten years later, Alyssa Chia divorced her husband, Sun Zhihao.

He thought for a moment and decided to just write a gossip post about Alyssa Chia.

To be fair, writing gossip posts about Alyssa Chia is actually quite suitable. She has many scandals, is beautiful, and is very popular.

As for Alyssa Chia's "married woman" attributes—well, he doesn't intend to "confess" anyway, so he can just write it like he wrote about Liu Tao.

He believes there should be a group of netizens who enjoy watching it.

Some people, on the surface, proclaim, "I would never want to marry a married woman," but when they actually meet a married woman, they can't help but blurt out, "My lady, would you be willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

Shen Can began writing the main text:

I'm sure you can guess who I'm going to write about today just by seeing the name "Zhao Min".

Yes, it's her.

Although she and my Yuanyuan are "love rivals" in the play, in real life they "developed feelings for each other on set" and became best friends.

Because she's a friend's best friend, and also my best friend, I'm writing about her today.

Before we go any further, let me add a disclaimer: I have no feelings for her whatsoever; my heart belongs to Tianxian, Tianxian's mother, and Yuanyuan.

Closer to home.

In 1974, the "Devil Muscle Man" first fought in Southeast Asia, while Zhao Min was born into a wealthy family in Taiwan and was a pampered little princess from a young age.

Her father owned a famous hotel in Taipei, where the famous actors "Double Qin and Double Lin" had once patronized the place, so she saw many big stars when she was very young.

The term "Double Qin and Double Lin" may be unfamiliar to many young people today. It refers to Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Brigitte Lin, and Lin Fengjiao.

At the age of 16, the naturally beautiful Zhao Min grew into a graceful young woman. She was discovered by a talent scout on the street and invited to film her first GG, "Jia Jia Fu".

Later, in order to improve her acting skills, she followed her father to her ancestral home of Tianjin and entered the Beijing Film Academy.

She graduated from the Beijing Film Academy in 93, and was classmates with Xu Jinglei, Liu Lin, and others. Her class teacher was Yu Feihong.

However, before the end of her freshman year, Zhao Min had to give up her studies and return to Taiwan to take on family responsibilities because her father's business failed, leaving him with a mountain of debt and a serious illness. She worked tirelessly filming to pay off her father's debts.

A few years later, she won the Golden Bell Award for Best Newcomer for her role in "Four Daughters," and began to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

But her father's condition was worsening, and Zhao Min began to consider a question: should she let her father suffer for a long time or suffer a short, sharp pain?

She chose the "short-term pain"—she personally pulled out her father's oxygen tube.
