Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

As this shocking concert came to a perfect end, another wave in the music market - the release of the new album - began under the attention of everyone.

Jingtao Music Company put all its efforts into launching an all-round, blanket publicity campaign several months ago.

On social media, album trailer posters are everywhere, with very attractive copywriting, constantly impacting the fans' vision;

On the homepage of the music platform, the preview clips of the new songs were played in a loop, and the moving melody was like an invisible hook, firmly hooking the listeners' hearts;
Traditional media such as television and radio also gave their support, with talk shows and music recommendation sessions all cheering for this new album.

Driven by such a powerful publicity matrix, the expectations of Shen Lang's fans around the world have already been pushed to the peak, and they are eagerly looking forward to the moment when the album is officially released.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight had not yet completely dispelled the coolness of the city, the entrances of major audio and video stores were already bustling with activity.

Customers arrived early and surrounded the video store.

Outside a well-known music store in Los Angeles, USA, two young fans are talking enthusiastically.

One of the guys wearing a baseball cap had a look of regret on his face, shaking his head and sighing: "(English) If I had known that they were going to sing new songs at the Miami concert, I would have bought a ticket to watch it no matter what."

The girl with ponytails beside him shrugged and responded helplessly: "It's not certain that you can get a ticket. My friend queued up in advance, but he didn't get one. The concert was so popular that it was hard to get a ticket."

At this moment, the shutter door of the video store slowly rose.

"It's finally open!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the already restless team instantly became excited. Everyone subconsciously rushed forward, their eyes full of desire for the new album.

……

Across the ocean, in London, England, the same scene is happening.

In front of a retro-style music store, several fans were queuing and discussing.

A man wearing a British-style trench coat spoke up: "(English) I saw on the Internet that the songs in Shen Lang's new album are mostly chorus songs."

A lady standing behind him pushed up her glasses and continued, "Who cares what song it is, as long as it sounds good. Shen Lang's music has never disappointed us."

At the front of the line, a young man stretched his neck to look around and couldn't help complaining, "It sounds good, for sure, but for our line, I don't know how long we'll have to wait in line."

But even so, they did not move at all, and stood firmly where they were, waiting for the moment to enter the store and buy the album.

……

In Seoul, South Korea, in Asia, outside a music store on the street, a group of young fans were excitedly communicating in Korean.

"(Korean) I didn't expect that Samsung would ask an idol to write its commercial song." A girl with pink hair said with surprise.

The boy next to her in a trendy sweatshirt nodded quickly: "Yes, I watched the press conference yesterday. The song is called "What Makes You Beautiful". It's very nice, with a lively melody and energetic lyrics. I was hooked as soon as I heard it."

Another girl wearing a baseball cap frowned slightly, with a hint of regret in her tone: "The only pity is that the idol didn't go to the press conference. It would have been perfect if I could see him in person."

……

In the current music market, the decline of the physical record industry has become an indisputable fact.

With the rapid development of digital music, people have more convenient ways to obtain music, and physical records have gradually lost their former dominant position.

Album sales can no longer accurately measure a singer's popularity and influence as they did in the past.

Releasing online singles, quickly attracting traffic with the power of the Internet, holding concerts to get closer to fans through shocking on-site experiences, switching to the film and television industry, expanding career territories, etc., seem to have become new ways out for singers in the new era.

However, the situation is different for those singers standing at the top of the music pyramid.

Thanks to the solid fan base they have accumulated over the years and the consistently high quality of their music, they are still able to achieve good sales in the physical record market.

Shen Lang is undoubtedly the best among them.

Thanks to his huge fan base around the world and the new album's blend of diverse styles and carefully polished high-quality songs, the album has shown strong sales momentum since its release.

However, Shen Lang's mentality at this time is very different from when he first debuted.

When he was just starting out, he kept a close eye on the sales data. Every fluctuation in the data would pull at his heartstrings and become a barometer of his emotional ups and downs. But now, thanks to the meticulous market research by the company's professional team, he has a good idea in his mind and can roughly estimate the album sales within a reasonable range.

But Shen Lang didn't care. Someone did care, and very much so.

Especially his competitors in the European and American markets and in the Grammy Awards competition. These people usually show their talents and compete secretly in the music circle. Now that his new album is out, they have naturally become the focus of their attention.

Some of them stare at the sales data of Shen Lang's new album every day, looking so anxious, as if the data concerns their life and death.

When they finally learned the results, all they saw were two simple words - hot seller!
This time, in Shen Lang's carefully crafted English version of "The Most Beautiful Voice" album, each song contains a unique charm, and the overseas singers under Jingtao Music are all excellent in singing skills. They use their highly infectious voices to interpret these songs to the fullest.

Therefore, once the album was released, it quickly sparked a buying frenzy in the European and American markets. The sales of physical records and digital albums soared. The number of album plays and collections on major music platforms also continued to rise, receiving rave reviews.

More importantly, every song in the album has reached a very high level in terms of innovation, depth of emotional expression, and singing skills, and has the strength to impact major music awards. Whether it is a popular song with a cheerful rhythm that makes people want to dance, or a lyrical masterpiece with deep affection and touching heartstrings, they all show extraordinary quality, as if they were tailor-made for winning awards.

But this is not the most depressing thing for competitors. What is most difficult for them to accept is that Taylor's second album, which was released at the same time as Shen Lang's new album, is also extremely popular around the world.

As Shen Lang's favorite student, Taylor has made rapid progress in music.

The title song of her second album, "Baby", quickly caught the ears of listeners with its catchy melody and youthful lyrics.

After the song was released, it spread quickly like a virus and became popular all over the world in a short period of time.

Whether in the streets of a bustling city or in the shops and cafes of a quiet town, you can hear people humming the classic lyrics "baby, baby, oh".

With these two albums, Master Shen Lang and his apprentice have further expanded their influence in the music field, becoming the focus of attention of music fans around the world. They have successfully topped the music charts in many countries, and their musical status has been consolidated.

At the same time, it also leaves competitors far behind, and they can only continue planning the next competition in secret jealousy and helplessness.

After finishing his overseas trip, the first thing Shen Lang did when he returned to Yanjing was to rest.

Because, next, he will go all out and carefully prepare for the last two domestic concerts of this tour, Ice City and Yanjing.

"There are only two shows left in your tour. Time flies so fast." Gao Yuanyuan curled up on the soft sofa, flipping through a script casually in her hand. She looked up at Shen Lang who was fiddling with the computer, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She has no urgent work arrangements at this stage, so she stays in this courtyard full of the atmosphere of fireworks, studying the script, figuring out the role, and making full preparations for the filming of next year's film and television dramas.

Shen Lang has ended his long and busy overseas tour, and is now happy to be back and reunited with his lover.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Shen Lang's face, which was slightly tired but could not hide his excitement, and her heart was full of heartache and love. These days, she cooked herself and made sumptuous meals for her lover.

She used to be a novice in cooking, but her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds since she has been with Shen Lang. In order to let Shen Lang taste the warmth of home, she often stays busy in the kitchen for a long time, constantly trying new recipes and studying cooking techniques. Now she can skillfully make a table of delicious dishes.

"Yeah, it's so fast." Shen Lang put down the mouse, raised his head slightly, his eyes full of emotion.

In a blink of an eye, four years have passed since he traveled through time.

In these four years, his life has been like a fantasy legend, with earth-shaking changes. From being confused when he first arrived to now shining in the music industry, holding global tours, and winning the love and pursuit of countless fans, it is like a dream.

"By the way, there are only two concerts left. Do you want to go on stage and sing with me?" Shen Lang looked at Gao Yuanyuan tenderly and asked softly.

"Me?" Gao Yuanyuan was slightly startled when she heard that. She subconsciously raised her hand and pointed at herself. Then she fell into a brief thought. She bit her lower lip lightly. A picture suddenly appeared in her mind. She was standing on the stage in front of tens of thousands of people, with the lights shining brightly on her. There were dense and expectant eyes from the audience... So, she shook her head gently and said, "No, I'll just watch from the audience."

In fact, she had her own considerations in mind.

Firstly, she has a clear understanding of her singing level. Although she hums songs on weekdays, she has given up the idea of ​​performing in a concert in front of tens of thousands of people.

Secondly, although deep down she longed to shine on the stage with her lover and show their sweet love to the whole world, her reason told her that now was not the right time.

"Okay." Shen Lang shrugged slightly, still with a gentle smile on his face, and there was no trace of loss or dissatisfaction in his tone.

He treated Gao Yuanyuan and Sun Yanzi with the same respect and never forced them to do anything they didn't want to do. Everything was guided by their wishes.

Although Gao Yuanyuan chose to support silently from the audience and was unable to sing on stage, she will not have any regrets because the two will have many collaborations on film and television dramas next year.

As for Stefanie Sun, she will definitely be on stage as a guest.

The ice city in October is already shrouded in the deep atmosphere of autumn, and the increasing temperature difference between day and night has become the most notable climate feature at this time.

However, the temperature gradually dropping to single digits did not in the least reduce the enthusiasm of the people of Ice City for Shen Lang's concert.

In everyone's mind, this concert has long become the most anticipated event in late autumn. It carries people's love and yearning for music, and no external factors can stop it.

On this day, the International Convention and Exhibition Center Stadium in the Ice City welcomed its first concert since its completion.

And this performance is Shen Lang's highly anticipated tour.

This newly built stadium is magnificent and can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. Its modern facilities, spacious and comfortable space, and excellent acoustic effects have attracted countless people's attention since its construction.

No one had expected that its first opening would be such a grand and highly anticipated musical feast.

Outside the stadium, fans began to arrive since dusk. Although the wind was cold and hurt people's cheeks, everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest. Bursts of laughter could be heard from the crowd from time to time. They were enthusiastically discussing Shen Lang's past classic works and were full of anticipation for the upcoming concert.

As time went by and the concert got closer, the crowd outside the stadium became more and more crowded. The staff were busy maintaining order and guiding fans to enter in an orderly manner.

Inside the stadium, the stage was beautifully built, with a huge LED screen, dazzling lighting equipment, and a top-notch sound system. Everything was ready, just waiting for Shen Lang to take the stage and ignite this night of music.

At this time, all the domestic artists under Jingtao Music have arrived backstage. They will all perform on stage tonight. (End of this chapter)
