Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 65: Is the album not worth buying? (Please read and vote)

"You're going to release an album?" Tang Wei said cheerfully, "You need to shoot a lot of music videos, right? I'll be the female lead in your music videos when I go back."

Tang Wen: Then Gao Yuanyuan will bite me to death.

He smiled and agreed: "Okay, but I guess you don't have time."

"How come? I'm so free that I want to go back to school."

"I just sent a script to your mailbox."

Tang Wei, who was lying on the bed, sat up suddenly: "You finally thought of me!"

"Movie, you are the heroine. I asked someone to find you a teacher at the Magic City Drama Theater. You can go and hone your acting skills."

"Really?" Tang Wei screamed.

Tang Wen moved his phone slightly away: "I'll start filming after I release my album. This drama is going to win awards, so you should pay attention to me."

"Got it, Director! I promise I won't let you down." Tang Wei instantly became full of energy, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Really? When you visited the set, you said you wouldn't let me down. You only lasted a few rounds?"

Tang Wei's face flushed, and he started arguing with him, saying:
"Being strong first is not being strong"

"You just rely on your youth. In a few years, you will be walking against the wall."

"Ask someone who has been there before, don't be too arrogant"

"..."

"Hahahahahahaha", the phone was filled with Tang Wen's happy laughter.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wei decided to practice yoga hard and completely forgot to ask him who he wanted to find to shoot the MV.

Summer is here, and not only the weather is heating up, but also the music market.

The singers are busy preparing their own albums.

Zhang Yadong has just signed a contract with Pulai Culture, an independent music brand under Warner Music.

Tang Wen’s record business signed an exclusive contract with Warner.

Of course, he is not an ordinary singer, and all the music copyrights are in his own hands.

Warner is interested in signing a contract with Tang Wen Music and is willing to show sincerity and invest resources in this album.

"Director Tang, have you decided on a name for the album?"

"Well, how about The Celestial Kingdom?"

"what?"

This doesn't make any sense. The Warner staff thought they had heard it wrong.

Tang Wen thought for a moment and said, "The Rhythm of Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, okay, this is good. The Celestial Empire, that sounds a bit arrogant."

"Arrogant?" Tang Wen glanced at him and said, "I plan to keep the name for my English album."

staff member:……

Zhang Yadong smiled and said, "Sure, give foreigners some music shock from the Celestial Empire!"

Staff: You two are really bold.

"Which songs should we release for chart-topping songs? Three will be enough. Director Tang's Jiangnan, Fairy Tale, and Running are still on the charts."

Zhang Yadong thought for a moment and said, "I think any three songs will do."

Two days later, Tang Wen took Gao Yuanyuan to start filming the MV.

It is worth mentioning that Li Wei, the photographer with whom I often collaborate, was not available.

He recommended a junior fellow student, Ning Hao, who was a student at the School of Photography.

Gao Yuanyuan read through the scripts one by one, and gradually became confused: "Why do all the MVs have kissing scenes?"

Tang Wen: "Oh, it's mainly to let you and I develop a lover's feeling."

"Does this need to be trained?" Gao Yuanyuan glared at him.

"Mainly because we've never kissed in these romantic settings."

The scene of the MV includes the Jiangnan water town and falling cherry blossoms.

Gao Yuanyuan was moved, but her face turned red and she said nothing.

Ning Hao was watching from the side and thought to himself that he had learned something.

A great director is a great director.

On the same day, Warner invested resources to promote the new song.

"Once you"

"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword"

"Look at the prosperity of the world"

The first word captured the man's heart.

Who hasn’t thought about traveling around the world with a sword when they were a child?

Not to mention a sword, even if you pick up a straight stick, all the foxtail grass within a three-mile radius will be destroyed.

And which woman doesn’t want to see the prosperity of the world?

The lyrics are catchy.

The melody is high-class and beautiful. In addition, Tang Wen is quite famous. The new song was released in just two days and directly ranked in the top ten of the charts.

At this time, the major music charts are dominated by:
It is Zhou Chuanxiong's "Dusk"

Faith by Zhang Xinzhe

Mo Wenwei: The Fruits of Midsummer

King Liu: It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry

Guangliang "First Time"

……

A few days passed and Warner didn't start to make any efforts, but "Once Upon a Time" topped the list.

During the same period, other artists who released albums included King Leon Lai and Fish Leong, but unfortunately the quality of their albums this year was really average.

After the new hit song was released, it was only a short round on the charts and both songs fell out of the top ten.

And Taiwan's Yu Chengqing's song "Love Is Not a Choice" made it to the charts.

Eason Chan's "Bicycle", Tingfeng Xie's "Jade Butterfly", Penny Tai...all made it to the charts.

People who lived in the golden age of music felt that there were so many great songs.

No one realized that the peak of Mandarin music was coming.

In order to compete for the student body.

Tang Wen released "Class 2, Grade 3".

Plus "Fairy Tale" and "Jiangnan" which were originally on the list.

He had a total of four songs that made it into the top ten.

"Once You" and "Fairy Tale" took turns to rank first.

"Jiangnan" is hovering between third and fourth place.

"Class 2, Grade 3" barely made it into the top ten.

The top five occupy three positions.

Entertainment reporters are celebrating like it’s Chinese New Year.

There is daily hype about Tang Wen competing against different singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

It seems like Tang Wen is a "beating maniac" who would knock a famous singer to the ground at any time.

Paparazzi chased Tang Wen to take pictures every day.

As a result, he had to stay at home and didn't even dare to go out on a date with Gao Yuanyuan.

The singers felt even more uncomfortable: You know, Tang Wen is the director!

Although he started out as a singer, he went to film after releasing three songs.

Later, he became famous through the Golden Bear Award, movies, and Hollywood.

It is obvious that he will become a famous director.

Why did you suddenly release another album?
And the quality is so damn high!

A few days later, no one could shake his position on the leaderboard.

The MV for the new song has been shot and is ready for recording.

Warner's President Xu personally made the decision to directly prepare one million copies.

The channels have been fully rolled out and are ready to be sold simultaneously in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Piracy is rampant these days, but that was also the heyday of physical albums.

If the album sales can exceed one million, then you are a first-rate singer.

In July, the MTV Music Festival was held in Beijing.

Tang Wen was invited, and each of the three songs he released last year was nominated.

The hall was starlit.

I don’t know if it was because of Tang Wen’s identity as a director, but his seat was very close to the middle.

On the left is Sun Nan and on the right is Tian Zhen.

The award ceremony begins.

The three major awards, Mainland's Most Promising Singer, Mainland's Best Single of the Year, and Music Festival Newcomer Award, were given to Tang Wen.

The best single is "Fairy Tale".

In the past few months, thanks to the tragic love MV, "Fairy Tale" has become very popular.

They are placed in the streets, supermarkets, and hair salons.

Tang Wen deserves all the three awards.

The title of the most promising male singer in Hong Kong was given to Edison Chen.

The title of Asia's Most Outstanding Male Singer was given to Zhang Xueyou.

Tang Wen met Wang Lihong, Han Hong, and Yu Quan...

After winning the grand prize, his album began to be distributed.

Suddenly, rumors spread:

It is said that Tang Wen has put all his best songs on the charts, and the album is not worth buying at all, everyone can just listen to it for free!
