Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

The next day.

Shen Yan, who hadn't slept all night, stood at the hotel entrance as a gleaming Alphard slowly drove up.

As he looked at it, he felt that the car's lines were not as good as those of a Maybach.

The Maybach's waistline is more refined.

Although it's not a new car, the bodywork is in good condition, and there are no obvious signs of dents or scratches on the exterior.

The two cars also share similarities, such as their squinting headlights.

Not bright enough.

However, its merits outweigh its flaws.

Luxury cars are luxury cars; their infotainment systems are much more intelligent than those of the Alphard.

The response time is also fast.

I'm still a little reluctant to leave.

However, Shen Yan had no choice but to leave; the activities were all arranged, and he would be flying directly to Guangzhou later.

There were several radio interviews and a book signing event by the Starry Sky organization.

In the current sluggish record market, Starway is one of the few large-scale record distributors in mainland China, and half of the sales in the offline legitimate market come from Starway.

Therefore, even if it means being stabbed, he has to leave.

A car?

With a successful career, you'll have everything.

"Brother Yan, you didn't sleep in a hotel last night?"

After getting on the bus, Zhang Dandan asked a question out of curiosity.

"Yeah, I'm going home."

It is home, but it is not his home.

"Oh, you seem a bit sleepy. Why don't you take a nap first? I'll wake you up when we get to the airport."

"it is good."

Shen Yan slept all the way to the airport without saying a word. After checking in and boarding the plane, he continued to catch up on sleep.

I'm so tired.

It's a rare treat to drive a Maybach, and I don't know if I'll ever get to do it again, so I couldn't resist the urge to have some fun.

"Brother Yan, we've arrived."

When Shen Yan woke up, the plane had already landed in Guangzhou. He rubbed his eyes.

"Has your Hong Kong and Macau travel permit been processed?"

"It's done."

"Okay, then you'll come with me to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."

After finishing his promotional tours in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Shen Yan will head to Hong Kong to attend David Tao's "Go to Space Concert" Hong Kong stop.

In addition to the concert, Gold Typhoon also arranged several other appearances.

Although Mandarin albums hardly sell in Hong Kong, whether they sell or not is one thing, and promotion is another.

After landing and meeting with the aliens, Shen Yan quickly got to work.

I slept lightly for three hours.

enough.

the other side.

Gao Yuanyuan woke up after sleeping until a little after 2 p.m.

Upon waking up, her first reaction was exhaustion, as if she had excessive lactic acid buildup.

After a while, she slowly got out of bed.

I barely slept last night, not until after six in the morning.

His energy is terrifyingly abundant.

No wonder some people like relationships between older women and younger men.

That's quite exaggerated.

She walked into the bathroom, looked up at the mirror, and froze on the spot.

wrong.

She leaned forward a few inches, and Gao Yuanyuan gently stroked the area around her left eye with her fingertips.

Have your crow's feet faded?

Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly relaxed, and they did look a bit lighter.

Having been in the industry for so many years, she knows very well what her strengths are.

She's always been called a pretty face, and she accepts it.

Even if she's just a pretty vase, she wants to be a beautiful one, so she pays close attention to her appearance.

After checking several times, she was certain that the crow's feet on both sides, the wrinkles under her eyes, and even the neck wrinkles had faded a little.

If she hadn't just recorded her status yesterday, she wouldn't have noticed this change at all.

What did she do yesterday?

wine?

Impossible, it's not like it's the first time she's drunk that alcohol, and the food she ate—barbecue, dinner—was all like that…

and many more.

As she thought about it, a smiling face appeared in her mind—a condescending, mischievous smiling face.

No way?

But what good is that thing?

Immediately afterwards, she took small steps to the bedroom, picked up her phone, ignored the missed calls and text messages, and dialed Shen Yan's number.

Several calls went unanswered.

She knew Shen Yan had an event today, so she sent him a text message.

I'm planning to go shopping in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Where are you staying?

Whether it's psychological or something else, she's prepared to try again.

There's no harm in giving it a try.

After sending the text message, she suddenly remembered something.

It seems like they didn't ask him if he had a girlfriend?

Forget it.

It doesn't matter whether it's there or not.

……

evening.

Backstage at the book signing event in Guangzhou, Shen Yan shook his aching right hand.

Damn it.

The autograph session was exhausting; I signed autographs for four hours straight, and my hands are almost numb.

After a short rest, he got into the car arranged by Xingwaixing.

Next stop, Guangzhou Radio!

During the journey, Shen Yan opened his phone and saw a text message from his older sister.

Ok?

Want a refill?

Shen Yan hesitated a bit. He had made plans to go to a nightclub with Tao Jiji to have some fun.

Hong Kong, a place of extravagance and decadence.

He quickly replied with an address.

JW Marriott Hotel.

While David Tao's party was great, the older sister's was just as good.

Especially the older sister, after continuous minor adjustments, has shed her youthful and naive look, and her facial features have become more refined and three-dimensional.

Thirty years old, the peak of one's life.

If it were a 20-year-old woman, Shen Yan would definitely hesitate for a few more minutes.

30岁？

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the "ideal man".

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan."

Zhang Dandan, who was in the front row, received the latest statistical report from Xingwaixing and couldn't wait to turn around and share the good news.

"Guess how many albums we signed today?"

"Several hundred, I guess?"

Shen Yan carefully recalled the whole process, from the beginning to the end, he had hardly stopped.

It was during winter break, and most of the people who came were high school and college students, mostly women. He also met the rich young woman in the core group who angrily bought 5000 albums.

She's a very cute little girl.

A photo and autograph will be provided; as for any other requests, that's impossible.

He never lays a hand on his fans.

It's risky and could easily hurt people.

"1075 images!"

Zhang Dandan showed her phone.

"Besides the autograph session, Starway also wholesaled more than 10,000 albums today. Sister Jia just sent me a message that Gold Typhoon is preparing to reprint them."

"30 copies aren't enough to sell?" Shen Yan asked, slightly surprised.

"Not many, maybe 50,000 more."

Zhang Dandan gave a truthful report.

"Moreover, there will definitely be returns later. Based on a 30% return rate, the album's actual sales should exceed 20."

If the actual sales really reached 20 copies, then Shen Yan would be amazing.

Among the newcomers who debuted in the last five years, only Chris Lee can probably outshine him, even though Chris Lee's sales have dropped a bit recently.

But the 06 album "Queen and Dream" was still amazing.

The final sales volume is guaranteed to be at least 4 to 50.

At that time, Chun Ge's popularity was explosive.

However, on the other hand, the record market in 05-06 was different from that in 09-10.

In a horizontal comparison, if sales of Black Iron Age exceeded 20, Shen Yan would not be much worse than Chun Chun.

of course.

It certainly can't compare in terms of national popularity.

A hit song, a popular person, and national popularity are three different things.

Finally, if the album sales exceed 20, Gold Typhoon will not only be able to recoup the album production costs, but also recover some of the promotion and distribution costs.

Based on a production cost of 200 million and a marketing cost of 500 million, Gold Typhoon is estimated to only lose 1-200 million.

Gold Medal Typhoon is probably laughing all the way to the bank.

……

Hong Kong.

Gold Medal Wind Headquarters

After Zheng Donghan finished tallying the accounts, his face, full of wrinkles, broke into a wide smile.

He estimated that his investment in Shen Yan would result in a loss of 3 to 400 million yuan at most, but if long-term returns were taken into account, he might even break even.

What he gained far exceeded what he gave.

Much, much more!

The latest offer from the acquiring party has reached 5 million, which is 5000 million higher than the first offer!

He felt he could still squeeze some money out of the other party.

After all, the acquiring party this time is very wealthy.

The real entity behind this acquisition of Gold Typhoon is an Italian capital firm founded by Silvio Scaglia, an Italian telecommunications tycoon.

In addition to acquiring Gold Typhoon, this Italian has also set its sights on Elite World, a global modeling agency giant.

This company is renowned in the global modeling industry.

Supermodels from the golden age of American supermodels, such as Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour, as well as Victoria's Secret Angel Gisele Bündchen, all came from this company.

Chinese supermodels Liu Wen and Sun Feifei, as well as hope Mengyao, who will soon walk the Givenchy Haute Couture runway at Paris Fashion Week, are all contracted models under Elite World.

Obviously.

Italians have their eyes on China's rapidly growing fashion market.

The more Zheng Donghan thought about it, the more he felt that investing in Shen Yan was a brilliant business deal.

If it weren't for the reminder from the Italian princess Zia Lai, he wouldn't have noticed Shen Yan's body proportions at all.

In the words of that little princess, even among the world's top male models, Shen Yan's head-to-body ratio, bone structure, and body proportions are outstanding.

A perfect clothes hanger.

Even wearing a tattered piece of cloth can look fashionable.
