I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 191. Jiang Chen participated in the program? Dominated the top ten of the monthly new song chart?
At this time, all the people who were following Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room were speechless when they saw the terrifying number of people online.

Guo Haitao was looking at the terrifying popularity of Jiang Chen's live broadcast room at this time, and his heart was filled with regret and envy.

He regretted not bringing Jiang Chen to the stage of his show earlier. Now that popularity is in his hands, he doesn't know how much benefit it can bring to him.

Zhou Ming said softly: "The influence of Jiang Chen's lucky draw this time is really beyond imagination. Many people in our circle participated."

Luo Sheng laughed and said, "Nonsense, who wouldn't participate if they knew the news? This is Jiang Chen's authentic work of "Jiang Jin Jiu"! Now there is a big boss in the collection circle who has said that no matter who wins the prize, he will offer 1 billion to buy the work. One hand pays the money, the other hand delivers the goods. This is a real 1 billion, not an estimated value!"

"There are so many glamorous big names in our circle, but how many of them have a net worth of one billion?"

"If I win the lottery, I'd like to retire right here."

Guo Haitao and Zhou Ming nodded after listening to this, their eyes full of emotion. They had been staring at the live broadcast room, also participating in Jiang Chen's lucky draw, and imagining that they could win the prize.

However, if they win the prize, they will most likely not sell Jiang Chen's works, but want to collect them for themselves. Although Jiang Chen's works are now priced at 1 billion yuan, they believe that there is still room for appreciation in the future, and it is also a good financial investment to preserve value. Whenever they are short of money in the future, they can cash it out.

Moreover, almost all the celebrity chat groups they were in were discussing Jiang Chen’s lucky draw. Almost everyone participated, and most people said that if they won the prize, they would retire directly and stop being celebrities.

After all, celebrities may look glamorous on the surface, but only they themselves know the hardships behind the scenes!
If they had billions in cash, they wouldn't bother with this hardship!

Zhou Ming asked: "Old Guo, have you made an appointment with Jiang Chen?"

Guo Haitao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I haven't made an appointment yet. I'll call him this afternoon to chat. There's Sichuan University's anniversary tomorrow, so I guess he'll be busy."

Zhou Ming nodded and said solemnly: "I don't know if Jiang Chen will agree. I don't know if he will change after coming to our stage!"

This time, European and American singers came with great force, and both Zhou Ming and Luo Sheng felt that there was little hope.

Even for Jiang Chen, it would be difficult to achieve anything, right?
after all!

Jiang Chen is also a latecomer. Even though he has top singing talent and his singing ability is no weaker than Zhou Ming, there is still a gap between him and the top talented singers in Europe and the United States!
Unless Jiang Chen still has talent and potential to be tapped and his strength can be improved to a higher level.

However, from the perspective of capital, Guo Haitao believes that as long as Jiang Chen is on his stage, he wins!

The benefits brought by this huge popularity are unimaginable.

As for winning or losing, as a producer, he just needs to do his best.

…………

If it was another internet celebrity anchor.

The live broadcast room is so popular that there are more than five million people online for outdoor live broadcasts. They will definitely not want to stop broadcasting and will insist on broadcasting as long as possible to maintain their super high popularity and get more reward income.

However, after lunch, Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room went offline.

Even so, the number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded 5.4 million.

Han Qing also went live without hesitation.

Because Jiang Chen was going to take a nap at noon, and they also had to go back to the hotel to rest.

Jiang Chen woke up from a nap at home. His parents were not at home. He washed his face and just sat on the sofa in the living room to rest when he received a call from Guo Haitao!

The last time they met in Beijing, Jiang Chen still remembered the producer of the singing competition.

"Hello, Director Guo."

Jiang Chen said politely.

Guo Haitao smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, don't be so polite. I'm in Rongcheng now. Do you have time to meet me? I want to talk to you!"

Jiang Chen: "What to talk about? About the show? Actually, we can just talk about it over the phone."

Jiang Chen doesn't like socializing very much. If something can be discussed over the phone, it can be made clear. There is no need to meet up for dinner and have awkward business talks.

Guo Haitao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, then I'll be frank! I came here this time to personally invite you to participate in our program. Our stage really needs young singers and musicians like you to bring vitality. Moreover, if you are familiar with the hot search news, you should know that since the start of our singing competition this year, the first place in each open competition has been a foreign singer!"

"Although their hard power is indeed very strong. However, I personally still hope that one of our own Chinese singers can win the final first place and the title of King of Singers! Otherwise, if the King of Singers born on our stage in the end is a foreign singer, it will be really embarrassing."

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't even want to meet him, Guo Haitao just talked on the phone. He estimated that Jiang Chen might not want to be on the show, so he immediately brought out the battle of dignity in the Chinese music scene, hoping to use it to attract Jiang Chen to participate. Or to put it bluntly, he wanted to use morality to kidnap Jiang Chen.

but……

Jiang Chen said softly: "Director Guo, I'm not a professional singer! It's not my turn to save the Chinese music scene, right? Besides, I haven't been paying attention to your show recently, so I don't know your specific situation. I don't think I'm qualified to save the Chinese music scene!"

"Of course, I personally hope that more people can hear my work. However, I just returned to Chengdu and I am a little tired from the journey. I want to have a good rest recently and don't want to participate in the show!"

"I'm sorry, Director Guo!"

Guo Haitao on the other end of the phone frowned. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to refuse so straightforwardly and impolitely.

In the entertainment industry, no one has spoken to him like this for a long time.

Guo Haitao said seriously: "Jiang Chen, since you want more people to hear your work, then you should come to our show. Now our show is the variety show with the highest ratings in the country, and it has broken the variety show ratings record in the past three years! If you come, I will increase the publicity for you and definitely let as many audiences as possible see your performance."

"As for your desire to rest, I support you. After all, a good rest will allow you to be in a better condition for the competition, right?"

"We're only halfway through our show, and there's still a month until it ends!"

Jiang Chen's heart was slightly moved after hearing this.

Hearing the other party say that the ratings are the highest, it allows more people to hear his work.

He was indeed somewhat excited, as this was one of the few goals in his life now.

"Let me think about it. I'll talk about it after I rest for a week."

Jiang Chen did not agree immediately.

Guo Haitao: "No problem, I will come to Chengdu to meet you in a week and have a personal talk. As for the remuneration, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you. Ten million per performance is definitely the highest price in the industry. Lao Zhou signed a contract for the whole season, and his income for a single performance is less than ten million."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I don't care about the money. We'll talk about it later. If I participate, you can discuss the price with Han Qing."

When Guo Haitao heard Jiang Chen's words, he knew that this matter was probably done, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Jiang Chen's words. He didn't know whether this was the artistic thought of an artist, who didn't value money that much. But...

Without money, what is art?
Guo Haitao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact Han Qing in a week to discuss the performance contract! Tomorrow, Lao Zhou, Lao Luo and I will go to Sichuan University to watch your performance."

Jiang Chen: "Thank you!"

Guo Haitao: "You're welcome. I wish you a successful performance!"

hang up the phone.

Jiang Chen turned on the TV and started watching. As soon as he opened the screen, he saw that it was indeed his father's favorite anti-Japanese war movie.

My dad has watched various anti-Japanese war films for half his life, but he never gets tired of them and still enjoys watching them every day.

Jiang Chen also started watching it, and suddenly he felt that the TV show was interesting.

……

On the other side, Guo Haitao hung up the phone, nodded to Zhou Ming and Luo Sheng's eyes, and said affirmatively: "Although it has not been confirmed yet, it is almost done. He wants to take a break, so he didn't agree immediately. Let's talk about it in a week. I gave him a price of 10 million per performance."

“By then, there will be only a few shows left, and he will probably get 30 to 40 million.”

"This price is already sky-high in the industry."

Guo Haitao felt that this price gave Jiang Chen enough face, otherwise Jiang Chen was after all just an internet celebrity anchor, a poet, a calligraphy master and the like, whose identities were worthless in the entertainment industry. No matter how big an internet celebrity anchor was, he could only be considered a half-newcomer in the entertainment industry, and his appearance price could not be too high.

If Jiang Chen participates in the singing competition, it will be his first time stepping onto the entertainment industry stage.

Logically speaking, the price given to a newcomer is about right, and two or three hundred thousand for a performance is quite fair.

but……

Guo Haitao directly gave Jiang Chen 10 million for each performance.

Zhou Ming and Luo Sheng frowned slightly after hearing this, but they were not too surprised.

because!

They watched Jiang Chen rise all the way, and watched Jiang Chen sing beautiful songs one after another during the live broadcast and write masterpieces one after another.

Watching the number of people online in Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room increase from tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, to several thousand, to more than five million now!

For a Jiang Chen like him, 10 million per performance is not too much of a price.

Even though Zhou Ming only received a performance fee of 50 million per season, and the price for a single performance was about 5 million, this was already top-level treatment for a superstar.

And Jiang Chen’s salary is twice that of Zhou Ming!
Zhou Ming was not unhappy, but just said softly: "Childhood and Lighting the Stars, which Jiang Chen uploaded the day before yesterday, have been downloaded over 10 million times in just one and a half days. Chengdu, which was uploaded just yesterday, has exceeded 4 million downloads in just half a day, and it is estimated that it will exceed 7 million in one day."

"Every single one of these numbers is real. There is no propaganda, no hype, no internet trolls, no false numbers... This is terrifying!"

"It's only right that he should be given 10 million yuan for his appearance fee."

Luo Sheng nodded: "Yes, from yesterday to today, the sales of the songs uploaded by Jiang Chen have skyrocketed. Almost all of the songs have sold over 10 million, occupying the top ten of the new song list this month, suppressing everyone else's new songs. This is very scary!"

"To be honest, Jiang Chen is way ahead of the current Chinese music scene."

On Penguin Music's monthly new song chart, Jiang Chen's new song has topped the list and occupied the top ten and most of the top twenty rankings!
After all, the previous top few rankings were all inflated, and their sales volume did not move at all afterwards, so they would naturally be slowly surpassed and squeezed out by Jiang Chen’s ever-increasing sales volume.

But no one expected it.

Jiang Chen will occupy all the top ten places!
This is the first time in the decades of history of Chinese music.

There has never been a case in the Chinese music scene before where a singer could be so far ahead of other singers.

It’s just that the Chinese music scene is now in decline, and entertainment information is too developed, so not many people pay attention to these Chinese music charts.

In addition, there is no capital operation or hype behind Jiang Chen, so his dominating behavior rarely appears in the news.

If it is a singer from other big companies, let alone occupying the top ten, even if they get into the top three of the monthly list, they can still hype it up and attract many crazy fans to brag about it!
If he could occupy the top three places, he would definitely be touted as the savior of the Chinese music scene, becoming the hottest new singer, and performing on various shows non-stop.

If a singer occupies the top ten positions, the capital behind him can probably be operated to the central bank, and he can be called the ruler of the Chinese music scene today.

but……

Jiang Chen dominated the top ten of the list, but there were few news reports and not many people discussed it.

because……

Many of Jiang Chen’s fans are relatively mature. Most of them just listen to the songs after downloading them and have never paid attention to any rankings. Many people don’t even know that these charts exist, nor do they know where to find them.

In addition, other companies in the entertainment industry deliberately ignored and dealt with the issue coldly, so naturally not many people discussed this.

Therefore, Guo Haitao is confident that once Jiang Chen joins the program, he will be able to use the resources of the program crew to heavily promote Jiang Chen, which will definitely increase Jiang Chen's popularity to a higher level, the popularity of his work will also increase, and the program ratings will also increase to a higher level!

…………

Jiang Chen was watching TV series at home and he felt it was quite enjoyable. This kind of TV show that didn't require much brainpower was enjoyable and it was very relaxing to watch.

Around six o'clock, my parents came home and started cooking.

Around seven o'clock, Yan Ruyu, Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and others came to Jiang Chen's house and sat together to eat again.

Yan Ruyu asked curiously: "Jiang Chen, where are we going to play later?"

Several people looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.

In a moment, Jiang Chen will give away authentic copies of The General’s Dinner by lottery, and they will all participate in the lottery in the live broadcast room. It would be best if they could win a prize, then they won’t have to watch Jiang Chen give the work away to others.

While eating, Jiang Chen casually said, "Let's go to the nearby park. I'm too lazy to go far. I'll take a walk and come back to sleep early!"

Jiang Chen's words made Jiang's father and mother speechless. This was more like retirement care for them than for the two of them.
