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

Chapter 227 226. Arrived in Shonan and joined the program team!

When Guo Haitao, Zhou Ming, Ye Lan and other people from the Xiangnan TV Singing King Contest program team appeared, many people at the scene noticed them.

On the contrary, no one paid attention to Director Li and the two station directors because ordinary people didn't know them.

Many media reporters who were stationed at the airport quickly picked up their mobile phones and cameras to start filming. Some people who wanted to come forward for interviews were stopped by the accompanying staff.

Everyone was curious about who they were going to pick up and why it was such a big deal. The program director and several big names all came to the airport.

After some confusion, everyone quickly remembered—Jiang Chen was coming!

The program team officially announced yesterday that Jiang Chen would join the King of Singers competition. They didn’t expect that Jiang Chen would come to Shonan Airport at this time.

When Jiang Chen appeared with Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others, the airport was instantly in an uproar and everyone rushed to the exit.

"Jiang Chen, it's really Jiang Chen who is here."

"Lao Jiang is really here, and Xiao Qingzi is here too. Wow, Yan Ruyu is prettier in real life than in the video, and her temperament is so good. And Xiao Jia and the others, Lao Jiang is surrounded by beauties. If anyone says that Lao Jiang entered the entertainment industry for beauties, I will be the first to disagree."

"Take a quick picture."

"Old Jiang is here..."

"Lao Jiang..."

Gradually, uniform shouts were heard at the airport.

"Lao Jiang..."

"Lao Jiang..."

"Lao Jiang..."

"Old Jiang..."

Groups of people gradually blocked the exit.

Jiang Chen met up with Guo Haitao and the others, and before they had time to talk, they quickly walked outside, worried that if they didn't leave now, they would not be able to leave later.

Jiang Chen waved to everyone and left at a quick pace.

The crowd behind him, except for a few reporters and idlers who followed him out, all the others came to the airport for business, so they didn't leave, but just looked at Jiang Chen and waved to him.

After being escorted to the car by a group of media reporters, Jiang Chen, Guo Haitao and others felt a little more relaxed.

Guo Haitao half-jokingly said: "I have worked in Xiangnan for many years and received many celebrities. Many big-name celebrities have a lot of fans gathered at the airport to meet them. But like you, you didn't announce your schedule, no one knew about it, and you still made so many people crazy about you. You are the first one."

Jiang Chen nodded to Guo Haitao: "Thank you Director Guo for the reception."

Guo Haitao shook his head: "This is what I should do. Come, let me introduce you. These are the two directors of our station, Director Zhang and Director Yang. This is Director Li. You are the first one to have three leaders come to pick you up at the airport."

Jiang Chen smiled and extended his hands to the three of them: "Hello, Director Zhang, hello, Director Yang, hello, Director Li!"

The three of them also looked at Jiang Chen carefully and shook hands with him one by one.

Director Zhang said with emotion: "I have watched your live broadcast and know that you are very young, but I didn't expect that you would look even younger in person than in the video. It is hard to imagine that you have achieved such a unique achievement in history at such a young age. It is amazing. I have read and studied every piece of your calligraphy and poetry, and even copied them, so I understand your amazingness even more."

As Director Zhang spoke, his face flushed with excitement.

Director Yang also nodded and said, "The leaders of several universities in southern Hunan were supposed to come to pick you up today, but we stopped them. We know you like quietness."

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "You're overpraising me."

Director Li smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration. Your achievements are worthy of praise. The praises of you in the future will only be more exaggerated."

All three of them like calligraphy and traditional culture, so they have studied Jiang Chen's works many times and copied them. As a result, the more they like Jiang Chen's works, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Jiang Chen's fans.

Faced with such praise, Jiang Chen could only smile.

Han Qing and Yan Ruyu were sitting in another car. In these two cars, Jiang Chen was the only one facing Guo Haitao and others.

After chatting for a while along the way, Jiang Chen looked at the scenery of southern Hunan outside the window. This was his first time in southern Hunan.

Guo Haitao and Director Li both enthusiastically introduced Jiang Chen to the street scenes of southern Hunan outside.

Then, we came to a five-star hotel near Shonan TV. This hotel cooperates with Shonan TV almost all year round, and the stars invited to the show basically stay here.

Guo Haitao booked a room for Jiang Chen yesterday, the best presidential suite, which costs about 100,000 yuan a day, and this is the price after the discount for the long-term cooperation with Xiangnan TV.

Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and others stayed in slightly inferior rooms, but the daily rent for each person was as high as tens of thousands, so their treatment was no worse than that of Zhou Ming, Ye Lan and others.

The news of Jiang Chen's arrival at Shonan TV had already spread at the airport and the entire Internet was already discussing it, so when Jiang Chen arrived at the hotel, many local Shonan fans had already come to greet him.

Many people held up Jiang Chen's signs, and when Jiang Chen got out of the car and showed up, they immediately started shouting at him.

"Jiang Chen, Xiangnan welcomes you!"

"Lao Jiang, don't leave in Xiangnan!"

"Lao Jiang, I love you..."

"Lao Jiang..."

"Old Jiang..."

……

Director Li and the two station directors did not get out of the car. They watched Guo Haitao, Zhou Ming, Ye Lan, and Luo Sheng get out of the car to see Jiang Chen off. They looked outside and saw that thousands of people had gathered in front of the hotel and were shouting. They listened to their shouts and the calls for Old Jiang. The three of them had strange looks on their faces.

Director Li said softly: "They all call Jiang Chen Old Jiang, but Jiang Chen is actually only thirty years old!"

Director Zhang nodded, "Yes, he is only 30 years old, but he is already the best calligrapher in history, and he is even striving to become the greatest literary giant in history. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. It's incredible! I even had the urge to ask him for an autograph just now."

Director Li slowly raised his hand, holding a notebook, and said with a smile: "I just asked Jiang Chen to sign an autograph for me!"

The two directors were stunned for a moment, then looked at the notebook together, only to see the two words "Jiang Chen" written on the first page. It was indeed Jiang Chen's handwriting. Although it was written with a hard pen, one could definitely see the charm of calligraphy. They knew that these two words could be sold for hundreds of thousands.

The two station directors smiled bitterly, regretting not asking Jiang Chen for an autograph. If they wanted one later, they would have to do it in the station, where there would be too many people and it would be difficult for them to show up.

At this time, Guo Haitao, Ye Lan, Zhou Ming, Luo Sheng and others escorted Jiang Chen and others to the top suite.

Ye Lan smiled and joked, "This house may not be available for a few days a year. Even if we come, we can't afford it. The price is more than 200,000 yuan a day."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you Director Guo for your hospitality."

Guo Haitao: "It's good that you can come. It's our duty to entertain you."

Several people escorted Jiang Chen to the door of the room, and Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, and Chen Xiaojia helped put down the things.

Guo Haitao said to Jiang Chen again: "Jiang Chen, are you going to the station tomorrow? Or should we go around in the afternoon to get familiar with it?" Jiang Chen looked outside and saw most of the scenery of southern Hunan. He was in a good mood and said: "Let's go and take a look in the afternoon, get familiar with it as soon as possible, and get into work mode as soon as possible."

Guo Haitao was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's serious attitude: "That's great, I'll send someone to pick you up this afternoon."

Jiang Chen: "Okay!"

Ye Lan looked at Jiang Chen expectantly: "See you in the afternoon!"

Zhou Ming: "See you in the afternoon!"

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled at Jiang Chen without saying anything.

He waved to a few people and watched them go out. Then Yan Ruyu closed the door and quickly helped Jiang Chen pack up his things and put away some of the daily necessities he brought. This was the division of labor she and Han Qing had discussed.

Han Qing is more responsible for Jiang Chen's work matters, while Yan Ruyu is responsible for Jiang Chen's life matters, one as a work assistant and the other as a life assistant.

Of course, if something is busy, both of them can do it together.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing went downstairs with Guo Haitao and his friends. Their rooms were downstairs and they were neighbors with Ye Lan and his friends.

After chatting for a few words in the elevator, Pu Yuexi and the other three went out of the elevator to put their luggage in the room.

Guo Haitao, Ye Lan, Zhou Ming, and Luo Sheng took the elevator and left, returning to the station to discuss subsequent performances.

This has been their normal state recently. Except for sleeping at night, they have not been in the hotel at other times. They are busy in the production crew, trying to respond with the best performance state and fight for the chance of winning.

But, so far, they haven't done it.

Luo Sheng said softly, "Many people say that Jiang Chen came to the program to make money. Haha, they know nothing about Jiang Chen. His music download sales are as high as more than 2 billion a month. The number of plays of all his songs on the entire network has reached tens of billions, and the average number of plays per song can reach about 1 billion. Just from these plays, he can get hundreds of millions of shares."

"He earns more than 2 billion a month purely from his music."

"The fee for a single performance is 25 million. For him, it can be considered a friendly performance."

Ye Lan, Zhou Ming and Guo Haitao all smiled bitterly after hearing this. They all knew these figures, so they all understood that although Jiang Chen's performance fee was extremely expensive in the circle, it was really not worth mentioning to Jiang Chen himself.

Therefore, they all kept a low profile in front of Jiang Chen.

……

afternoon!

Jiang Chen woke up from his nap and at around four o'clock, he took Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others downstairs, got on the car arranged by the program team, and went to the studio of Xiangnan TV Station to produce the King of Singers Contest.

At this time, the King of Singers Contest was the core program of Shonan TV Station. Many resources were prioritized towards this program team. They gave whatever they wanted, and the hardware and software were almost all at the top level in the industry.

It is rumored that the arrangement of the on-site sound equipment alone cost tens of millions, and even if it were placed in the whole world, it would be the top stage sound effect.

The lighting, costumes, props, backing band, etc. are all top-notch in the industry.

When Jiang Chen's car arrived at the program crew, Guo Haitao came out again to greet him in person, accompanied by a young woman with great looks and temperament, who stared at Jiang Chen with anticipation and curiosity.

"Jiang Chen, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Pan Yao, who was a guest performer on our show before and is now the guest host."

Guo Haitao introduced Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen knew as soon as he heard it that this person was of some importance, so Guo Haitao did not dare to offend him and forced him to stay on the stage to increase his popularity and fame.

"Hello, Jiang Chen, I have been to both Magic City and Beijing to watch your performances live. I am your loyal fan."

Pan Yao took the initiative to speak to Jiang Chen, looking a little excited.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Hello, thank you."

After saying that, Jiang Chen followed Guo Haitao inside. Yan Ruyu, Han Qing and others quickly followed Jiang Chen's pace.

Pan Yao followed behind, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and then she followed the pace. This was the first time she encountered such indifference, but she knew something about Jiang Chen's character, so she quickly accepted it.

Jiang Chen even ignored fairy-like figures like Li Wenjun and Yan Ruyu.

When he walked into the program set, he suddenly saw many more people, and they all greeted Jiang Chen.

Guo Haitao knew that the people in the program team found various excuses to sneak out to see Jiang Chen, and it suddenly became as lively as a fan meeting.

After a while, it finally quieted down a bit.

Guo Haitao then brought Jiang Chen and others to the lounge and introduced to Jiang Chen several singers who were still performing with the program.

The program has been running for more than a month and is now entering its final stage. Many talented singers have been eliminated. Now there are only four domestic singers left, Ye Lan and Zhou Ming, as well as two other powerful top singers, Chen Xun, who is also a superstar of the older generation, and Yuan Caiyi, a solid and powerful singer of the new generation.

"Hello, Jiang Chen, I finally meet you in person. I'm your fan, you're so awesome."

Yuan Caiyi, who is only in her thirties, was quite excited to see Jiang Chen and took the initiative to admit that she was a fan of Jiang Chen.

Chen Xun was more steady. He looked at Jiang Chen curiously and said with a smile, "You are younger than in the video. That's amazing. Please give me more advice."

Chen Xun is an older generation superstar singer from Hong Kong Island.

Yuan Caiyi is a middle-aged singer who debuted in mainland China ten years ago. She is known for her powerful performance and has been relatively low-key in the past ten years. She has no scandals or hype and is focused on music. However, such singers are generally not well-known, but their works are widely spread. She is a typical example of a singer whose songs are popular but she is not. The number of views of her works on the Internet has reached billions, and her singles have been played over 100 million times, with the highest cumulative download volume of singles reaching more than 20 million.

It seems that the cumulative download volume of the single is over 20 million, which is far less than Jiang Chen's songs. Jiang Chen's songs have only been uploaded for about a month, and the shorter ones have only been uploaded for more than a week.

However, Jiang Chen's live broadcast has accumulated a lot of popularity, as well as calligraphy, poetry, etc.

Yuan Caiyi has always been relatively low-key, with no publicity or hype. The downloads of her songs rely entirely on word of mouth. Over the years, she has accumulated sales of more than 20 million, and millions of sales a year. Among singers who rely purely on their strength, this is a very good result.

Jiang Chen also greeted the two: "Hello, I have heard all your songs. I never thought I could perform on the same stage with you. This is also an opportunity. This is my first time on a variety show stage. If there are some things I don't understand, please give me some advice."

Yuan Caiyi and Chen Xun both responded with smiles, and they both had a very good impression of Jiang Chen.

Such a talented, capable young man with explosive income and yet such a humble attitude, which is something they have rarely seen in the circle.

Those young handsome guys just rely on their popularity. They have no other skills or abilities. They look up to the sky every day and ignore other people.

The room door was pushed open again.

Several people walked in, led by a man and a woman, both foreigners, followed by five or six people, including translators, assistants, etc.!

They are the two foreign singers from the program team, male singer Axel and female singer Kailin!
The two walked in and ignored Guo Haitao, Jiang Chen and everyone else in the room. They just walked to the sofa in the middle and sat down, took out their mobile phones and started looking at them, as if no one else existed. The way they looked at this moment was completely different from how they looked on camera.

Ye Lan, Zhou Ming, Yuan Caiyi, and Chen Xun all looked normal, and they were obviously used to it. Moreover, being in the entertainment industry, they were not surprised by such things.

Being alone in front of the camera and alone outside the camera is the most normal thing in the entertainment circles at home and abroad.
