Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 66: There is no peace before the storm
The development of hip-hop music in China can be traced back to the 80s, when hip-hop music was mainly introduced by black music lovers.

In 1993, Xie Dong released a rap album called "Someone". This album did not cause much sensation at the time, but during this wave, Chinese people began to hear about rap music.

At that time, the concept of rap in China was not a complete musical style, but an element. With this element, things would become very cool.

To be precise, the musician who is truly the most popular in China should be Tao Ze, who is known as the "Godfather of R&B Music in the Chinese Music Scene."

In 1997, his first self-titled album "David Tao" was released. The moment the plane engine started, he officially opened the door to R&B for the Chinese music scene.

The younger generation in the mainland, as long as they like music, are more or less familiar with this style of music.

It's difficult. You have to pronounce words clearly, quickly, rhythmically, and sound nice.

Shen Lang debuted with a love song, and a few days ago he sang "Dragon Fist" which shocked everyone and also announced that he could perform Hip-Hop.

This is another bombshell for the mainland music scene.

Now, here comes another song "Marry Me Today".

Although Hip-Hop is just an embellishment here, it is like the icing on the cake, making the whole song more three-dimensional and interesting.

"What a sweet song." The bride felt as sweet as honey in her heart after hearing it.

"It's simply the perfect wedding song." The groom liked it too.

"I want to play it at our wedding." The bride has already imagined the happy scene.

"Uh...but Brother Lang's album hasn't been released yet." The groom smiled bitterly.

"Although Brother Lang's album hasn't been released yet, you can call the hotline of Yanjing Music Radio Station and order this song." The best man, who was a bystander but not a familiar figure, spoke up.

As a result, an interesting scene occurred at the wedding.

The groomsmen and bridesmaids, those who had cell phones were dialing on their phones, while those who didn't were dialing on landlines.

As luck would have it, I finally got through just as the wedding was about to start, and clicked on the song "Marry Me Today".

The light and cheerful melody and the warm and sweet lyrics gave everyone present a warm and happy feeling.

This scene is being played out at countless weddings across the country.

As a result, the song quickly topped the major music charts.

In just a few days, the attention to Shen Lang's new album "The Most Beautiful Voice" has reached a new level.

Many people can't wait to buy it.

Taibei, Warner Records.

"This Shen Lang has a lot of tricks, so I'll try my hand at it too. I'll release it on May 5st and set sail on his big wave."

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Jianhui decided on the release date of Stefanie Sun's new album "The Happiness I Want".

This song was previously replaced by Shen Lang's "Meeting", and now 9 more songs are put together to make an album.

Others are afraid of a collision with the popular Shen Lang, but Sun Yanzi is not afraid.

Not only are they not afraid, they also want to leverage the momentum of Shen Lang's new album "The Most Beautiful Voice" to boost sales.

Because there are rumors that Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun are the golden boy and girl of the Chinese music scene, they have to take advantage of the popularity.

"OK, then will Stefanie ask Shen Lang to collaborate with her again on her album in the second half of the year?" asked the secretary.

"How many copies of Elva's album 'Love's Theme Song', which was released on the 1st of last month, were sold?" Zhou Jianhui asked instead of answering.

"The first batch of shipments to Taiwan Province alone reached 15 copies, and all of them were sold out. Later, in order to thank the fans for their support, a special "Thank You Memorial Edition" was launched, limited to 10000 sets. Together with the sales of the paperback version, a total of 20 copies were sold, and the total sales in Asia have exceeded 100 million copies." The secretary reported.

"Among the four little divas, she has another successful start?" Zhou Jianhui secretly thought that he had miscalculated. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will talk to Shen Lang. Stefanie's album sales in the second half of the year must exceed theirs."

There is no way, the current situation is that Shen Lang's songs = big sales. If you don't find him, someone else will find him.

Seeing others making money is more painful than losing money yourself.

At this time, in an apartment.

"Sister, are you having an affair with this Shen Lang?"

"Did you deserve a beating?"

"Seriously, this guy is tall and handsome, quite good. If you don't like him, you can introduce him to me."

Sun Yanzi glared at her sister Sun Yanmei and snorted, "You little brat, do you know what love is?"

"You understand what I don't." Sun Yanmei pouted unconvinced, and added: "You are famous now, Daddy is always around you and doesn't care about me and my sister."

Sun Yanzi was silent for a moment, then said, "I will talk to my dad and ask him to go back to Singapore. I can take care of myself here."

Sun Yanmei didn't dwell on the matter any more and said, "Remember what you promised me."

Sun Yanzi looked at her sister and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Yanjing, Grand View Garden.

The crew of "Love Across Time and Space" finished filming at Feiteng Film and Television Base and came to the next filming location.

When Shen Lang came out of the makeup car, he didn't see Gao Yuanyuan. She usually waited for him here, but why didn't she appear today?

Following the main group to the set, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly jumped out from somewhere, scaring him.

"Here, your breakfast." Gao Yuanyuan handed him the bag.

Shen Lang reached out to take it, but before he could say "thank you", Gao Yuanyuan asked him a fatal question.

"Shen Lang, can you tell me what it feels like when a man and a woman sing a sweet love song together?"

This……

Jealous?
Shen Lang had already figured out that Gao Yuanyuan must have heard the song "Marry Me Today" on the radio.

Recently, because of filming together, his relationship with Gao Yuanyuan has become closer, and they are just one step away from breaking through that layer.

And Stefanie Sun is one of his rumored girlfriends.

Shen Lang just raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Do you want to hear a lie or the truth?"

"Really..." Gao Yuanyuan opened her mouth and then changed her words: "It's a lie."

Shen Lang said without changing his expression: "I don't feel anything, it's just work."

Gao Yuanyuan frowned, obviously not believing it. That’s right, it was a lie. She immediately asked, “What about the truth?”

Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not as good as when we filmed the MV for "Fairy Tale"."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect that his true words would be this. Her face instantly turned red and she said, "Why are you dragging me into this?"

Shen Lang pretended to be displeased and said, "You asked me what sweetness feels like."

"I mean the duet..." Gao Yuanyuan saw the smile that flashed across his eyes and immediately realized that he was teasing her. She snorted and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. You just know how to bully me."

Shen Lang pulled her to sit down and said softly, "I'll write a song someday, and we can sing a sweet duet together, and you'll know."

Gao Yuanyuan's anger was immediately dispelled. She bit her lip and said, "Who wants to sing with you?"

Shen Lang looked at Gao Yuanyuan who was coaxed into doing good and felt that he was a bit of a scumbag.
