The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 2 "Youth" (Please read!)

Time passed quickly, and it was soon March 1997. Some things that were supposed to happen finally happened.

An Shaokang and Liu Xiaoli still divorced.

Zhang Chen had thought about changing this matter, but at the age of 13, there was very little he could do, not to mention that it involved other people's family affairs, and he had no reason to interfere.

"Xiao Li, do you really want to take Xiao Feng to the United States alone?" Zhang Chen's mother, Sun Fangping, was saying goodbye while holding Liu Xiaoli's hand in the airport waiting hall. Zhang Chen also followed his mother here to see Liu and her mother off.

Perhaps the only thing that Zhang Chen changed was the relationship between the two families.

Over the past few years, An Feng was bullied by her classmates at school many times, and Zhang Chen always stood up for her. As a result, the relationship between the two families became closer, and they often visited each other during festivals.

Zhang's mother, who was a student at the middle school affiliated to Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, and Liu Xiaoli, who was also engaged in the performing arts career, became good friends who could talk about anything.

So today when Liu Xiaoli took Xiao Anfeng away, Sun Fangping, as her good friend, also came with her son to see them off.

"Well, I think the development over there is better, and Xixi can learn a lot there." Liu Xiaoli looked determined at this moment. She believed that the domestic educational resources were not as good as those in the United States, so she wanted to take her daughter to study there.

It cannot be said that she was wrong, it can only be said that it was the limitation of the times. Who could have predicted what would happen in the future?

"You even changed Xiaofeng's name?" Sun Fangping asked in surprise.

"Since you want to break up with him completely, do it thoroughly. Her name was changed by her grandmother. Her nickname is Xixi." Liu Xiaoli looked at the people who came to see her off, but did not see the person she wanted to see. Her tone was inevitably a little sad.

"You guys...ah." Sun Fangping wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. She had tried to persuade them, but the attitudes of both sides were too firm, and as an outsider she could not help.

Finally, Sun Fangping could only put on a smile, holding Liu Xiaoli's hand and saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Our Chenchen followed me here today because I have a gift for you and your daughter."

After that, he said to Zhang Chen: "Chenchen, take out your gift and give it to Aunt Liu."

After hearing what his mother said, Zhang Chen took out a Walkman and a tape from his pocket and said to Liu Xiaoli, "Auntie, this is my album that will be released soon. The tape in your hand is the first copy that has been burned."

Sun Fangping also smiled and said, "This kid has been studying with me for so long, and he has written a few songs by himself. I think some of them are suitable for Xixi to listen to, so I asked him to bring the album."

When Liu Xiaoli heard what the mother and son said, she couldn't help but become curious, but she was about to board the plane and had no time to ask in detail. She could only take the tape and walkman handed to her by Zhang Chen and say, "Chenchen, you are so thoughtful. Auntie and Xixi will listen carefully on the plane. Come, Xixi, say goodbye to your brother." The last sentence was said to Liu Xixi.

Liu Qianqian also returned to her mother from her mother's family at this time. After hearing her mother's words, she said to Zhang Chen with red eyes: "Brother Chen, remember to come and play with me~"

The 10-year-old girl didn't know how far away the United States was, nor did she know about her parents. She just thought she was going to school somewhere else and could stay away from those annoying boys in her class. So at this time, she seemed a little reluctant, but not very sad.

Zhang Chen listened to Liu Qianqian's words, was silent for a moment, touched her head and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

I don’t know if the little girl will cry and want to come back after living there for a while.

Zhang Chen was also grateful for the interactions between the two families over the past few years. He learned French from An Shaokang for a period of time, and Liu Qianqian naturally also learned English from Zhang's father for a short time.

In the previous life, it was said that when the mother and daughter first arrived in the United States, due to the language barrier, Liu Qianqian could not understand what the teacher said in class, and even did not know when her name was called. After a long time, the mother and daughter worked hard to make up for this shortcoming.

In this life, Zhang Chen made two preparations. The first was naturally to prevent them from running away, and the second was to allow them to safely get through the initial discomfort.

"Fang Ping, Chenchen, we're leaving now. If you have a chance, bring Chenchen to visit us in the United States." Liu Xiaoli saw that the time was almost up, so she said goodbye to Zhang Chen and his mother. "Well, Chenchen said he wanted to be on the bulletin board in the future. If that day comes, he will definitely go to the United States. I just don't know how long this kid will keep Xixi waiting." Sun Fangping teased her son with a smile.

"Really? Chenchen, then Auntie and Xixi are waiting for you in the beautiful country." After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli also gave her blessings. Even though the hope seemed slim to her, the youthful spirit could not be extinguished.

After everyone said goodbye, Zhang Chen and Sun Fangping also returned home.

After the two sat down in the living room, Sun Fangping said to her son, "Chenchen, Warner is asking about the exact release date of the album. What do you think?"

Thanks to her mother Sun Fangping, she had classmates at Warner who she could talk to, so Zhang Chen's first album was naturally handed over to Warner for distribution.

It is still quite troublesome for singers to release albums at this time. Record companies have to burn the songs on tapes or CDs to form physical albums.

Then, through distribution channels, it is distributed to various audio-visual stores, bookstores and other places where albums can be sold.

After that, the album will be promoted through radio, television and other channels.

Therefore, in this era, it is very expensive and labor-intensive for a singer to release an album, and this can only be done through a professional record company.

Fortunately, Warner Bros. was optimistic about Zhang Chen's album and was willing to distribute it on his behalf.

His album is called "Youth" and includes the following songs:

"Proud Boy"

"those flowers"

"Cherry Blossom Crossing"

"Youth Commemorative"

Your Answer

And five other songs to make up the number.

The first five songs were the ones he searched through his memory and found to be the most suitable for him to sing at his current age. Among them, "The Crossroad Where Cherry Blossoms Bloom" was originally named "The Crossroad Where Poinciana Flowers Bloom", but the original song was about the poinciana flower, the city flower of Ludao. Zhang Chen was in Jiangcheng, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom there, so he changed the song title and lyrics.

His family was relatively well-off, and they had planned to release the album with full funding, and bear the profits and losses themselves. However, Warner was very optimistic about the quality of the album, so they wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Since the market has turned from a seller's market to a buyer's market, the initiative is in the hands of Zhang Chen and his mother.

Although you still can't avoid record companies when releasing records now, Warner is not the only record company.
