Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 84, All in Strength [15 more monthly tickets requested]

Warner Records has gotten out of trouble.

Now we have Na Ying, Zhang Huimei and Zheng Xiuwen as the three-day lineup.

There is also the superstar Aaron Kwok.

As well as powerful actors such as Leung Wing-kei, Park Shu, Lao Lang, Ye Bei, Wang Feng, Zhang Yadong, etc.

They are all very popular and the competition for resources is fierce.

Stefanie Sun's status has also changed as a result. In 2000, she was "Sweetheart" and now she is "Mrs. Niu".

Mrs. Niu, who can earn money for the company, will be treated well, but she is not valued as much as before.

Zhou Jianhui is very optimistic about Stefanie Sun, but to put it bluntly, as a president, he is also an employee.

This kind of record company that is in the global industry has a very complicated internal structure, and may even bully customers because of its size.

Many artists have become victims of internal factional struggles, and have been neglected and sat on the sidelines.

In fact, the same is true for Xinso Records.

It’s just that Shen Lang doesn’t need song resources.

If he was not a time traveler but a native, his second album would probably be a long way off.

Even someone like Jay Chou who can write songs had to work at Alpha Records for three years before he got the chance to release an album.

"When the day comes that Warner excludes you, come to my company." Shen Lang started poaching people openly.

He would eventually leave Shinso and start his own music company.

If a company wants to develop, it must sign artists.

Those who are capable and will become famous will naturally be on the list.

"If President Zhou heard what you said, he would definitely break up with you." Sun Yanzi covered her mouth and laughed.

"It's okay. I'll poach him too." Shen Lang vowed.

"That's great. Mr. Zhou will get what he wants." Sun Yanzi said with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with this description.

Zhou Jianhui admired Shen Lang very much and has always been upset about not signing him.

And going to his company is another way to fulfill my wish.

But these are just ideas.

Whether it can be implemented is not yet known.

At least not before the contract with Shinso expires.

However, the establishment of a film and television company is not affected.

Leave Tokyo and return to Yanjing.

Shen Lang registered a film and television company.

Named "Big Wave".

It means "huge waves that are unstoppable."

“Congratulations to both of you for becoming the founders of Julang. Let’s work together, starting small and then growing bigger, step by step, to become bigger and stronger and create more glories. Cheers!”

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Gao Yuanyuan thought the three of them looked like an unreliable makeshift team. After putting down her wine glass, she tugged at the corner of Shen Lang's clothes and whispered, "Your company doesn't seem very serious."

Shen Lang rolled his eyes and said, "Is there anyone who would discourage your boyfriend's entrepreneurial enthusiasm like you?"

Gao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, raised her fist and said, "Support! All-round support!"

Shen Lang gently squeezed her hand and said confidently: "Although our company has nothing now, I promise that as long as I am here, there will be bread, milk, and everything."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, looked at him intently, and said in a sweet voice, "I believe you."

Ning Hao was just eating his meal and didn't see anything.

As for whether he could "grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory" as Shen Lang said, he didn't know.

What he knew was that by following Shen Lang he would be able to live a good life and realize his dream of making movies.

The next day, Shen Lang and Ning Hao were busy again, as they still had three music videos to shoot. While he was busy, other people in the Chinese music scene were also busy.

On June 6, Fish Leong released her third solo album "Shining Star", which included 27 songs including "Unconditionally For You" and "The World I Most Want to Travel Around", but the response was mediocre.

On July 7, Mayday, which recently won the Best Band Award at the Golden Melody Awards, released their third music album "Life is a Sea". This album marks their temporary farewell to the music scene, as some members are leaving the band to study abroad.

On July 7, Cai Yilin released her fourth solo album "Lucky Number", but due to a contract dispute with the company, the album was not promoted enough, sales were dismal, and her status as a little queen was lost.

On July 7th, also in Formosa Province, the beautiful girl group 9 in love released their second album "Who's Afraid of Whom", which was also their last album as a group. The single "One Thousand and One Wishes" became a hit on major music charts. The one who did the best after the disbandment was Rainie Yang.

Also on the 9th, Stefanie Sun, who won the Golden Melody Award for Best New Artist, released her fourth album "Silence". The album's first title song "Silence" and second title song "Green Light" topped major music charts.

"Stefanie Sun is now the number one of the four divas. Shen Lang's four songs helped her take off."

"I feel sorry for Cai Yilin. Just when her career was on the rise, something like this happened."

"The only thing that can shake Shen Lang's top spot on the major music charts is Shen Lang's songs."

……

The male singers are relatively weaker.

The only audible ones are the song "I Believe" composed by Tao Ze, which was selected by Disney as the international Chinese version theme song of the animated film "The Lost Empire", Aaron Kwok's new album "New World", and Yu Chengqing's single "Love Is Not Helpless".

It seems like everyone has agreed to release an album around the end of the year.

"The known male singers include Zhang Xueyou, Zhou Huajian, Shen Lang, Wang Lihong, and Zhou Jielun."

"Bei Shenlang and Nan Jielun are facing off again. Who will win this time?"

"The good thing is that I can listen to a lot of songs, but the bad thing is that I have to empty my piggy bank all at once."

……

In fact, there are still many singers who want to release albums, and the competition is far more intense than what everyone sees on the surface.

At the end of each year, singers will flock to release their new works.

It’s not that everyone has made an agreement or has a tacit understanding.

In fact, this is part of the record company's business strategy.

First of all, the biggest advantage of doing this is that it is conducive to winning awards and arranging commercial performances.

The end of the year is the peak period for commercial performances and is also the deadline for awards on major music charts.

The better works you release later, the more impressive they will leave on the audience.

This will be reflected in the number of votes. The more votes you vote, the greater your chances of winning.

On the contrary, the songs released at the beginning of the year are relatively easy to be forgotten.

With new works that can quickly capture the market, they can attract attention and gain more commercial performance opportunities.

Secondly, it is also good for sales.

Around the New Year, society shows great vitality and vigor, and it is one of the periods with the strongest consumer purchasing power.

Younger generations buy it for older generations, adults buy it for children, and people buy it for themselves.

Therefore, it is also a golden opportunity for marketing in all walks of life.

If a singer releases a new work at this time, he or she can gain support from ordinary listeners other than his or her fans.

But this is not absolute.

If the singers' levels are similar, then the strategy of releasing an album at the end of the year will have a certain effect on winning awards. However, if the singers' levels are very different, then no matter what strategy is used, it will be useless.

Besides, no matter when a true first-line singer releases an album, there will be more or less songs that win awards at the end-of-year awards ceremony.

Moreover, each singer's record production cycle is different, so the opportunity to release an album just in time for the end of the year is rare.

Record companies naturally want to have the best of time, place and people, but if they just rush to release albums of poor quality, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Shen Lang didn't think so much, he just wanted to make money.

No, now it becomes paying back the money.

I got an advance of 1000 million from Xinsuo Records, and I have to release an album to make up for it.

However, some people have considered many factors that may affect the release of a new album, such as Na Ying.
