Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 47, "You're Going to Marry Me Today"

September 1th, evening.

Yanjing Century Theater.

The "New Millennium Global Chinese Music Chart Awards Ceremony" co-organized by CCTV and Hong Kong [V] Music Station was held here.

At that time, the much anticipated “Chinese Chart” will also unveil her mysterious veil.

"Big brothers" and "big sisters" level figures including Wang Jingfei, Tian Zhen, Na Ying, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Ren Xianqi were present.

"He was invited too?"

"He has taken all the heat at the end of the year. He will definitely have an advantage in the voting. He will probably be the best newcomer."

It was snowing in Yanjing and the temperature was extremely low, so the red carpet event was cancelled. The stars went straight to the backstage. The sisters Na Ying and Na Xing arrived late, and when they turned around and saw Shen Lang who arrived even later, they went in while whispering.

Shen Lang was not being late because he was acting like a big shot.

The car was skidding badly on the road and I didn't dare to step on the gas, so it took me several times longer than usual to get here.

Today he was wearing all black, a black turtleneck with a black windbreaker and black Martin boots, a perfect combination of fashion and handsomeness.

"Shen Lang, look here!"

"Shen Lang, how do you feel about attending your first award ceremony?"

"Shen Lang, are you confident that you can win the award?"

Media reporters, unafraid of the cold wind, waited outside the venue with cameras and video cameras.

Shen Lang's arrival undoubtedly set off a wave of enthusiasm. As soon as he stepped in, he was surrounded by enthusiasm.

Flashes of light came and went, and questions were heard everywhere.

"Thank you for your concern. It's cold and the ground is slippery. Please be safe. It's getting late. I'll go in first."

Du Ting's advice to Shen Lang was that he was too aggressive at the moment and it would be best for him not to respond to media inquiries to avoid being used as a topic.

However, we cannot adopt an attitude of turning a cold face and ignoring it.

So, Shen Lang gave the reporters a very heartwarming reminder with a smile.

When I entered the venue, I saw many familiar faces.

In his previous life, these people were his youth.

"Xiao Shen!"

Tian Zhen's textured voice came.

"Sister Tian."

Shen Lang walked towards her.

"Let me introduce you to the famous Mongolian singer Tengger, the famous Tibetan singer Han Hong, and the new singer Jin Haixin, who is as talented as you."

There are also various small circles in the Chinese music scene.

Take the four divas of the mainland music scene, Na Ying, Tian Zhen, Han Hong and Sun Yue, for example.

Na Ying has a good relationship with Wang Jingfei, so she always hangs out with that group of people in the Hong Kong circle.

Tian Zhen has been in competition with Na Ying since her debut, and there is a saying that "Na in the South and Tian in the North". Because of her straightforward personality, her friends are people like Xu Wei, Teng Geer, and Cai Ming.

Han Hong is a relatively low-key person and doesn't have many conflicts with others.

Sun Yue debuted much later, but she was the one who rose the fastest. She was directly promoted to a queen with her famous song "Wish You Peace". This song was originally written for Na Ying. She felt that the song was suitable for her, so she sold her house and borrowed money to buy the copyright for over 100,000 yuan, thus establishing her position in the mainland music scene.

Having strayed from the topic, Shen Lang greeted everyone one by one.

He is familiar with these people.

Jin Haixin is on the list of male and female duet singers in his new album and is currently the most popular new generation female singer in mainland China.

"I like your song "Jiangnan". I've been listening to it a lot recently. There are a lot of inflections in it, which is quite interesting." Teng Geer's kind face still exudes a kind atmosphere, making people feel the indelible innocence in his heart.

"If Brother Teng likes it, you can sing it anytime in the future." He is a singer that Shen Lang admires and likes very much.

Just kidding, in the future, the hardcore guy who will say “If you ruin my song “Paradise”, I will ruin your entire music scene”!

Brainwash songs such as "Wings of Steel", "The Sun Dare Not Set", "Black Plum Patina", "Ka Gouli", "Rolling Door Curtain", "De Jin'er" and so on, starting with the iconic angry voice at the beginning, open up a new world for everyone with one click, bringing a shocking audio-visual experience that completely subverts the original work.

Music should not lose its seriousness, but it should also not lose its entertainment value. In this life, let’s start with “Jiangnan”!

"I like your song 'Ten Years'. Can I sing it casually?" Han Hong joked on the side.

"Sister Hong, you can sing whatever you want." Shen Lang said generously.

Similarly, Han Hong is also a singer he admires and likes very much.

Han Hong's sincere and high-pitched singing voice is loved by millions of people.

He also helped countless people in need through his charity work.

This is what a “star” is.

"I'm right, he has a very good personality." Tian Zhen praised.

Jin Haixin did not participate. She and Shen Lang were peers, and it was their first meeting, so there were some things she could not say.

After chatting for a while, Shen Lang went to find a seat.

"Shen Lang, here!"

A clear voice with a hint of joy called out to Shen Lang. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was none other than Sun Yanzi.

“The organizers are really good at arranging things.”

Shen Lang happened to be sitting next to her.

Not only that, next door is Xiao Yaxuan, next door to the next is Cai Yilin, and even Jin Haixin is there.

The reason is simple, this row is full of newcomers who debuted in recent years.

After Shen Lang sat down, he looked her up and down and said, "Wow, your outfit today..."

Sun Yanzi pouted and sighed, "Isn't it ugly? It was chosen by the company."

She was wearing a fluffy cotton jacket today, which was actually quite fashionable, but it just didn't suit her very well.

Shen Lang commented: "It's not ugly, but compared to your previous simple outfit, the contrast is quite big."

Sun Yanzi was unhappy.

Shen Lang noticed it carefully and changed the subject, "Congratulations, you've become the female singer with the highest sales of a single album in Baodao Province in 2000."

Stefanie Sun instantly forgot about the clothes, her eyes curved, and she smiled, "It's all thanks to your song. Both Mr. Zhou and the teacher said that without "Meeting", it would be difficult to exceed the 30 copies of the previous album."

As of today, sales of her album in Formosa Province have reached 35 copies, ranking fourth in the year.

The top five are:
First, Tao Ze's "I'm OK" 42 copies;

Second, Jacky Cheung’s “Walking Through 1999” with 40 copies;

Third, Shen Lang's "Shen Lang Radio Love Song" 36 copies;

Fourth, Stefanie Sun’s “Meeting” with 35 copies;

Fifth, Jay Chou’s “Jay” sold 33 copies;

……

The song "Meeting" played a big role, but the sales volume was mainly due to Stefanie Sun's personal singing ability and the overall quality of the album.

Shen Lang naturally would not take credit for this, so he casually asked, "Are you preparing for a new album?"

Sun Yanzi nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, but it will probably have to wait until the second half of the year to be released."

Not everyone is as fast as him.

Shen Lang added: "I am also preparing for my new album. I have written a song and I want to sing it with you."

Stefanie Sun blurted out subconsciously: "Will We Meet Again?"

Shen Lang remembered that this was a question she asked him when he sent her to the airport last time. He joked with her that this was a good song title: "This song title is not suitable for the two of us because it doesn't make sense at all."

Then he jokingly said to her, "This song I wrote now is suitable for both of us."

Sun Yanzi didn't hesitate, but asked curiously: "What song?"

Shen Lang moved closer to her and whispered, "You are going to marry me today!"
