Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 22, Honorary Radio Host

The next day, the news of Xinsuo Records' cooperation with Shen Lang was exposed by the media.

His album "Shen Lang·Radio Love Song" will be released in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other parts of Asia in a week.

This was revealed to the media by Chen Yaochuan.

Appropriate hype is an effective marketing tool.

To put it bluntly, hype is similar to advertising.

Advertising requires meeting three conditions:

Someone has to say you can do it, the person who says you can do it has to be able to do it, and thirdly, you have to really be able to do it.

The small stone thrown by Chen Yaochuan caused a huge wave.

Sony Music is backed by Sony Music, one of the world's three major record companies.

Shen Lang is touted by the media as the future of the mainland music scene.

This cooperation is equivalent to a powerful alliance.

Some people in the industry speculated whether Shen Lang had already signed a contract with Xinsuo Records.

"It is said that he had rejected Warner before."

"It's just gossip. The conditions he offered are very harsh."

"A newcomer is negotiating terms with a company? Warner Music, one of the world's three largest record companies?"

"That's brave, isn't it?"

"But having said that, his strength is indeed quite amazing."

"Not necessarily. There's still a follow-up. There are many people who were praised as geniuses when they debuted, but fell from grace after just one song or one album."

……

Everyone is waiting and watching.

Only Na Ying was being beaten.

I am still thinking that the sales of my album in the mainland will be affected, so I will rely on Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other parts of Asia.

Now that Shen Lang and Xinsuo Records have done this, everything will be affected.

The book signing event was held and it was packed.

It seems to have little effect on boosting album sales.

Most of the people who come here are fans who have already bought the album.

In comparison, Shen Lang's first autograph session had a huge impact.

——【Love came too "big", Shen Lang was hugged by fans and buried in their chests, almost suffocated! 】

——【At the book signing event, a fanatical female fan's breasts overwhelmed Shen Lang! 】

——【Shen Lang had an intimate contact with a female fan 36D, and he looked unsatisfied afterwards! 】

Look at the front page headlines of these entertainment news, which have attracted a large number of onlookers.

Shen Lang can be said to have become famous.

For him, this way of making fire is better off not having it!

Yanjing:

"Phew... I'm so tired... Boss, quickly, three tapes of "Shen Lang Radio Love Songs"!"

"Young man, take your time. Don't worry. The goods were just delivered this morning. There are 1000 tickets. You can buy them."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have had to run."

……

Spring City:

"Boss, do you have Shen Lang's album?"

"I'm late. The last CD was bought by that little girl just now. Do you want Fei Xiang's new album "Loved You" that was just released on National Day? It's also very good?"

"No, my pocket money is for Shen Lang, and Fei Xiang's is for my mother."

……

River City:

"Boss, 'Ten Years'! No, it's 'Shen Lang Radio Love Song'."

"Is he really that popular? Over ten people came to ask about it this morning."

"Ah! His new song has been on the charts for more than ten days, didn't you know?"

……

Due to such high popularity, the second batch of 15 tickets were sold out in just a few days.

Fortunately, we got 200 million from selling the distribution rights, and the third batch of 15 copies is on the way early.

However, there will be pirated copies now, so we can't stock too much. Several large audio and video publishing houses in the mainland have also come to Shen Lang to negotiate the purchase of distribution rights.

Finally, it was sold exclusively to Yenching Global Audio and Video Publishing House for a lump sum price of 50 yuan.

The company was founded in 1993 and is affiliated with the Central Conservatory of Music.

Shen Lang did not bargain. The distribution rights for a single region were roughly this price.

"Morning, Shen Lang."

"morning."

When Shen Lang returned to the radio station to work, he was no longer the same person as before. He would greet everyone he met, whether he knew him or not.

This is reality.

How does the saying go? A poor person living in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich person living in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.

During the National Day holiday, Shen Lang's wallet became fatter and fatter.

After deducting the share given to the station and paying my own personal income tax, there was still more than one million left.

This was 2000 million in 100, enough to buy an apartment in Yanjing.

If it were 2024, this money would not even be enough to buy a toilet in Yanjing.

When life gets better, your mood will naturally be better.

"Good morning, Brother Wu, Sister Zhao, and Brother Zhang."

"You still come to work?"

Zhang Zhong seemed a little surprised.

Shen Lang was surprised and said, "Today is the 8th, the holiday is over."

Seeing that he didn't understand what Zhang Zhong meant, Zhao Xue explained, "What he meant was that now that you're famous, you should just focus on being a singer and give up your job at the radio station."

Shen Lang's eyes suddenly became bright and lively when he heard this, and he grinned and said, "How can I be considered famous? I'm still far from it. Besides, you guys are so good to me, I can't bear to leave."

He is a man who sees things through to the end. If he really doesn't want this job anymore, he will go through the resignation procedures.

Wu Zhoutong laughed and joked, "Whether you are Xiaohong or Dahong, you have to treat me to lunch."

Shen Lang has received a lot of help from them in the two months he has been here. In the past, he was financially strapped, so he mostly expressed his gratitude verbally. Now that he has money in his pocket, he naturally wants to thank them properly. He immediately said, "Of course."

We chatted and laughed until work.

At eleven o'clock, Director Yang Lin called Shen Lang to his office and conveyed the leader's affirmation and praise.

It was a bold attempt that made the station earn money and fame, and the people at the top were in a very good mood.

Especially Yang Lin, there is hope for promotion.

"Xiao Shen, there is something important to tell you." Yang Lin restrained his smile and said seriously.

"Director, please tell me." Shen Lang saw this and knew it was no small matter, so his expression became serious.

"Are you going to be in the entertainment industry? Just answer truthfully." Yang Lin asked.

"Yes." Shen Lang nodded.

"It's such a pity. You are a top student from the Broadcasting Department of Communication University of China. You will definitely make a name for yourself here. But since you want to go into the entertainment industry, you naturally can't attend this class normally. The station has its own rules and regulations, you know that..." Yang Lin said slowly.

It's a pity.

But I’m not a top student, I just have good grades. I have always been in the top three in my grade from elementary school to university, and I have received various scholarships.

But upon hearing this, Shen Lang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Isn't this going to fire me?

We just had a pleasant collaboration.

But Yang Lin is also right.

Now it’s because I’m not busy, but once my career in the entertainment industry gets on track, I won’t have the time and energy to come to the station.

Forget it, don’t worry about these things, you will leave sooner or later.

After a pause, Yang Lin continued, "We have just held a meeting and decided to hire you as the station's 'honorary radio host'. You don't have to come to the station to work, but as long as you need, you can come to the station's program at any time to release songs, and cooperate with the station to release an album."

Isn’t this exactly the same as the “Honorary Principal” in school?
Inviting national celebrities to take the position is generally in name only and they do not participate in the actual management. The purpose is to leverage the "celebrity effect" to expand the company's visibility.

The station actually wanted to lock Shen Lang here.

He is a money printing machine.

But the problem is that I can’t keep it.

What both parties signed was a labor contract, and they could resign and leave at any time. It was not a contract like that signed by a celebrity, where leaving before the term is reached would be considered a breach of contract.

In this case, then let’s make him an “Honorary Radio Host”. Even if Shen Lang leaves now, his fame will be preserved.

Who came up with the idea?
Talent!
Shen Lang thought this would be good for both himself and the station, so he said, "Director, I will obey your arrangement."

Yang Lin had expected that he would accept it. This was a win-win result, so there was no reason to refuse. He smiled and said, "I wish you a bright future and smooth career."

Shen Lang looked relaxed and said calmly, "Thank you, Director. I appreciate your good words."
