……

The next morning, the front pages of entertainment newspapers across the country were all occupied by Shen Lang.

He won twelve awards alone, covering all aspects of being a musician.

In a sense, Shen Lang is no longer just a singer.

"Drizzle" is the first pop song in the Chinese music scene. The song was sung by female singer Li Minghui, which opened the curtain of the Chinese music scene.

In 1967, Teresa Teng made her debut, becoming the first landmark figure in the Chinese music scene and influencing an era.

In the 70s, the mainland opened the era of Cantonese pop music with Li Xinyi's "Homesickness", Hong Kong entered the era of Cantonese pop music with Xu Guanjie's "Half a Catty, Eight Taels", and Taiwan Province's Luo Dayou's "Childhood" became popular all over the country.

The 80s can be said to be the era of superstars. Singers such as Alan Tam, Rosina Pang, Anita Mui, Danny Chan, Wang Jie, and Natalie Tong were the brightest stars of this period.

In the 90s, the Four Heavenly Kings, namely, Zhang Xueyou, Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau and Lai Ming, emerged and dominated the entertainment industry for nearly a decade.

In mainland China, Liu Huan and Na Ying became the first generation of superstars in the mainland music scene.

Since the beginning of the millennium, the Chinese music scene has entered a period of flourishing, with new generations of singers emerging in large numbers.

However, despite their unique personalities, they are said to perform worse than the Mesozoic singers.

Some media even said bluntly: "Divine songs keep refreshing the charts, and all kinds of monsters and demons have created a relatively prosperous Chinese music scene, but it is a false prosperity. There are only a few works that can maintain their popularity and remain popular."

It was not until the end of this year that Shen Lang made his debut.

He has made original music and diverse styles gain attention, including R&B, Chinese style, rap, rock, ancient style, folk songs...

He has brought dozens of hit songs to the Chinese music scene.

Today, Shen Lang has surpassed his predecessors in terms of public popularity and number of honors.

So he is no longer just a singer, but a revolutionary genius of the era.

Many people inside and outside the industry believe that he will usher in a new era in the Chinese music scene!
At this moment, Shen Lang had no idea that he was being praised to the sky.

I drank until three in the morning last night.

I came back and fell asleep immediately.

I didn't get up until eleven o'clock.

I ate the breakfast that Gao Yuanyuan had carefully prepared, which was already lunch.

"Shen Lang, you are so awesome!"

In the study, Gao Yuanyuan looked at the display shelf that was two-thirds empty yesterday, but today it was mostly full.

She was amazed, happy and excited.

Because it was her man who did all this. "You thought I was going to the award ceremony? Actually, I was going to 'buy goods'!"

Shen Lang said jokingly.

There's nothing wrong with that either.

There were more than thirty prizes in total, and he took one third of them. He just used it to purchase goods.

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes were sparkling with little stars of love and admiration. She put her arms around Shen Lang's neck, stood on tiptoes, and gave him a sweet kiss.

However, how could one sweet kiss be enough? Not long after Shen Lang got up, he returned to bed.

Three poles in the sun.

Take a bath and get dressed.

A day later, the two came to the Yanjing Hotel again.

This time, Shen Lang was going to host a banquet for the friends who were not invited last night, including Zhou Xun, Ning Hao, Yang Junyi, Chen Yaochuan, Zhang Songwen, as well as Qian Guosheng, Fang Wanhua, and Qian Yufei's family of three.

"Uncle Lang, our whole class was talking about how you swept the Chinese music scene last night this morning. It was amazing that you won twelve awards in a row. My parents and I almost couldn't hold back our laughter when we saw you speechless on the stage." Qian Yufei praised Shen Lang as soon as she arrived.

"If you don't know the result in advance and you're not prepared, it will be the same no matter who comes." Ning Hao followed.

"Yeah, if it were me, I would be even more confused and would probably just cry with excitement." Yang Junyi also interjected.

"I've been on and off the stage so many times that I've forgotten what I said before." Shen Lang expressed helplessness.

"Your situation is unique in any award ceremony. Next time you should write a dozen or twenty acceptance speeches in advance and read them when you go on stage." Zhou Xun gave a suggestion.

"Sister Xun, it's impossible to be so lucky every time." Shen Lang said with a smile.

"Luck is a humble word used by the strong, because good luck only comes to those who are prepared." Chen Yaochuan doesn't think so.

"You are just too humble, lacking some of the pride and edge of today's young people." Fang Wanhua also spoke.

"Everything has its pros and cons. If a person is too aggressive and arrogant, the result will be unsatisfactory. Young people, it is a good thing to be more thoughtful and less aggressive," said Qian Guosheng as a person with experience.

"As the saying goes, 'A mountain does not reveal its height, which does not affect its towering above the clouds; the sea does not reveal its depth, which does not affect its ability to accommodate all rivers.' In fact, a person's value and ability cannot be demonstrated by external edge." Zhang Songwen holds the same view.

Everyone was chatting and eating, having a great time.

In the afternoon, Shen Lang went to the company.

Du Ting has a lot of work to report.

"Endorsements, advertisements and commercial performances are all these, and I have strictly screened them all."

"Can you arrange the schedule? The filming of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber will start tomorrow."

"I have discussed the filming schedule with Mr. Fang, and all the scenes have been scheduled at times that don't include your scenes."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Then accept them all."

Du Ting turned to the next page of the document and said, "The two songs "Too Much" and "One Glance for a Thousand Years" have been chosen by five TV series and they want to buy them as their theme songs and ending songs, but the price is relatively low."

As he said this, he took the page down and handed it over.

Shen Lang took a look and said, "Add 50% to this number. Since it's not the first release, the price can be lower, but it can't be too low either."

Movie and TV songs can be reused, but you can’t just give them away if you have money, because that would lower your status.

Of course, it can't be too expensive. The budget for music in general film and television dramas is not very high, and those with a high budget will directly find someone to tailor-make it for them.

So, we need to find a reasonable price that both parties can accept.

"I'll go talk to them later." Du Ting then took a few pages out of the folder and handed them over, saying, "These are the design plans for the nine concerts. See if there are any that need to be changed."
