Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Shen Yan's debut album is a hit even before its release, with 20 pre-orders igniting the record market.

Shen Yan's self-titled album pre-sales exceed 20 copies – the most anticipated new album of 2010

A super newcomer has emerged in the Chinese music scene: Shen Yan's debut album sells over 20 copies!

"..."

The next day.

The news that Shen Yan's new album sales have exceeded 20 copies quickly dominated the headlines of the entertainment sections of major portal websites, marking his first time appearing on the headlines of the four major portal websites.

Entertainment news headlines, and more!

Typhoon Gold has doubled its betting odds again.

the reason is simple.

The acquiring party is in a panic!

They're willing to pay a premium!

In fact, the acquiring party's primary goal was to sign Wang Fei.

however.

Wang Fei's comeback is only a "partial comeback." She has no plans to release a new album, nor does she intend to sign with any record company.

Besides Wang Fei, are there any other heavyweight figures in the mainland music scene?

In any case, the acquiring party doesn't want anyone else.

Instead of looking for a replacement for Wang Fei, it's better to cultivate your own superstar.

In this context, Zheng Donghan doesn't mind spending more money, because the money spent now will return many times over later.

At this moment, Zheng Donghan officially set his sights on the Golden Melody Awards.

We can't just make empty promises.

Public relations must be planned in advance!

Having worked in the Chinese music scene for so many years, his old face still retains some semblance of decency.

What a pity! If it had been ten years earlier, an extra name should have been added before "male Zhou" and "female Sun".

No, it should be even redder.

Shen Yan has better physical attributes and is a full-fledged creative artist.

It has huge advantages.

It's a pity they were born in the wrong era; the record industry today is no longer what it used to be, it's in a state of great decline.

In addition to the entertainment headlines on portal websites, music critics from all walks of life have also been making their mark.

Reviews of Shen Yan's new album were published one after another, either through newspaper columns, personal blogs, or other channels.

The day before the dealer listening session, Gold Typhoon also held exclusive appreciation events for music critics in Beijing and Taiwan.

Similar to the media screenings for films, invited music critics were able to hear the full album in advance.

then.

The intensity with which music critics praise a piece of music depends on the size of the travel expenses they receive.

Of course, not everyone who takes money will praise. If it's a more "tough" music/film critic, they won't praise a bad piece of work even if they're paid.

At most, they won't be "black".

If someone takes money and then publishes negative articles, they'll likely have a hard time getting by.

Given the quality of Shen Yan's debut album, some music critics would praise it even if they weren't paid.

therefore.

Positive reviews poured in like mushrooms after rain.

Renowned music critic Li Wan wrote on his blog.

Shen Yan's debut album of all original compositions is definitely a pleasant surprise in the 2010 Chinese music scene.

"..."

The "Mountains and Seas" chapter allows this album to break free from the constraints of petty romance.

The realistic resonance of "The Ordinary Road" lies in its acceptance and acceptance of ordinary life.

The psychedelic retro style of "Obsessed" is a bold attempt in terms of musical style.

"Toys" confronts family trauma directly, without avoidance or embellishment, making it especially valuable in popular creative works.

The self-torn and confrontational nature of "Shan Hai" is powerful and full of struggle; it is a direct collision between the inner self and the world.

"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" serves as a fitting conclusion to the entire album, leading from loneliness, trauma, and confusion to hope and perseverance.

Before the advent of the mobile internet era, the public opinion environment operated on an elite selection system.

Traditional media such as newspapers and television, as well as industries such as record and film, all have their content first screened and vetted by elites before being delivered to the public.

It exhibits characteristics of high centralization.

Ordinary people mostly rely on authoritative media and experts.

Music critics and film critics are also a kind of "opinion leaders," and many people obtain useful information from them.

With music critics giving it rave reviews, many music fans couldn't help but have high expectations for this album.

……

Hengdian.

Congratulations on wrapping up filming!

After filming the last shot, Shen Yan officially wrapped up filming.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Shen Yan accepted a bouquet of flowers from Lin Yufen and thanked her.

"Keep it up, I think you're great."

Lin Yufen patted his arm.

"As usual, there's a wrap party tonight, but I know you're busy, so we'll postpone it until next time."

"Okay, I'll write it down in my little notebook. If I don't find it, I'll bring the little notebook to you later."

Shen Yan laughed heartily.

"Anytime." Lin Yufen nodded with a smile. "Go ahead, I won't keep you any longer."

"Bye-Bye."

Immediately after greeting the rest of the crew, Shen Yan quickly ran to remove his makeup.

With his new album about to be released, he's incredibly busy.

hum!

hum!

While removing his makeup, Shen Yan's phone rang. He looked down at it.

Brother Xu?

"Hey, Brother Xu?"

"Filming wrapped up today, right?" Cheng Xu asked lazily on the other end of the phone. "When are you going back to Yanjing?"

"Tonight, but I have a show to record tonight."

"What time will it end?"

"It's probably past one o'clock."

"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. Your sister-in-law got you a gig on the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala. They're reporting on that song, 'The Ordinary Road.'"

"Wow, is your sister-in-law that amazing?"

The list of performers for the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala had been finalized long ago. Shen Yan never expected to be added to the list; was he being used because of connections?

"I'll send you a number. You can contact Director Liu later. We have to go through the rehearsal process eventually."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu, and thank you, Sister-in-law."

"Okay, that's all. Bye."

A short while later, Cheng Xu sent over the contact information, and Shen Yan immediately made a phone call to him.

half an hour.

He hung up the phone.

The communication went more smoothly than he expected. Is Mrs. Xu really that powerful?

He really didn't know anything about Sister-in-law Xu's background. Who the hell would ask about that? He only knew that she had a good family background.

soon.

After removing his makeup, Shen Yan immediately got into his van and headed straight for the airport.

The program he's recording tonight is "Entertainment Live," a show produced by Enlight Media.

His schedule was already packed for the next few days, with appearances on variety shows like "I Love Lyrics," "Rising Step by Step," and "Sunday is My Day."

In addition to television programs, he also received numerous radio interviews.

Now, with the addition of the Beijing Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, the schedule is even tighter.

Busy, busy, busy.

After returning to Yanjing, Shen Yan rested for less than four hours a day. Despite his extraordinary energy, he still felt a bit tired.

Despite being busy, the results were very encouraging. We participated in several radio interviews, and the popularity of our four main singles continued to soar.

On Baidu MP3's new song chart, he took first and third place, and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" also made it into the top ten.

At the same time, the fame of that "girl with the bun hairstyle" spread widely along with the popularity of the music video.

Many young girls have changed their QQ space backgrounds to screenshots from Nazar's music videos or selfies.

The peace sign and pouty lips are typical non-mainstream photo poses.

In the blink of an eye.

On February 3rd, Gold Typhoon held a grand album launch event in Yanjing.
