The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 80 Yao Beina

Of course, Zhang Chen didn’t do nothing in these few months.

He is going to hold a concert next year, so he needs to have a sufficient music library.

As early as the beginning of this year, he had already started working on two new albums.

Releasing two albums in Chinese and English for two consecutive years has become a habit for him and his fans as well.

This time he planned to release two albums directly, but there was no other way. If he remembered correctly, he would enter the voice change period, which should last for about two years. He didn't know whether learning vocal music since childhood in this life would change the time of the voice change.

He can only finish recording the album before his voice changes, but he doesn't know if he can fulfill his promise of five concerts before his voice changes. If he can't, he will have to wait another two years.

After that, you can only wait patiently for the voice change period to pass.

"Chenchen, you canceled the fan meeting in the United States, which caused the sales of the album "Rock" to drop sharply." When Zhang Chen was concentrating on recording songs, Sun Fangping found her son who came to the company.

"Is it serious?" He also put down the work in his hands and sat next to Sun Fangping.

"It can't be said to be very serious, but there is still an impact." Sun Fangping sighed.

After Zhang Chen announced the cancellation of his tour, the first thing that happened was Billboard. All of his songs fell out of the top 20 on the subsequent new singles chart.

It also forced his number one single "Natural" to end its 6-week championship streak.

Another thing is the album sales data. From the end of March to the beginning of May, Zhang Chen's album sold the best.

Originally in March, the album's sales in North America had exceeded 800 million copies, and in April it exceeded 1200 million copies. However, after Zhang Chen announced the cancellation of the fan meeting in May, sales figures dropped sharply.

Now it is the end of September, and the sales data in North America has barely reached 1500 million copies. Although the sales data in other countries have not declined as severely as North America, they have still been affected to a certain extent.

Currently, this album has sold about 2400 million copies in total, which is still a lot less than the sales of the previous album which exceeded million.

"It's okay, as long as there is enough money to spend." Zhang Chen didn't care. This incident had an impact, but the impact was not particularly big.

With 2400 million album sales, plus copyright fees, the total revenue after tax deduction is nearly 5000 million US dollars.

As for having enough money to spend, it is because it is soon time to sell Apple stock.

That’s nearly $4 million in cash.

What he is worried about now is how to invest the money so as to keep his wealth growing rapidly.

"By the way, someone came to the company today. He was introduced by Xiaoli. You should have met him several times." Sun Fangping talked about the reason for coming to find Zhang Chen.

"Who is it?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"Your sister Yao, you must have met her a few times when you went to their compound to play with Yifei." Sun Fangping's words evoked Zhang Chen's not-so-distant memories.

Yao Beina, a talented singer with a tragic fate.

Like Zhang Chen, she was also born in Jiangcheng and grew up in the same compound as Liu Yifei. Her mother was also a colleague of Liu Xiaoli.

But after Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei away from Jiangcheng, the two families visited each other less frequently.

"Why did she suddenly come to the capital?" Upon hearing the news, Zhang Chen put down his pen and put away the half-written music score.

"She is going to apply for the music conservatory next year and will come to the capital then, so your Uncle Yao should let her come to the capital first to familiarize herself with the environment." Sun Fangping helped Zhang Chen tidy up the messy desk.

"Xixi is here too?" After Zhang Chen finished packing, he followed Sun Fangping to her office. "Not only that, Xiaoli, your dad, and your uncle Yao are all here too."

Zhang Chen hasn't been to the company for a while, and now the entire company is no longer a small company.

The entire company has moved towards formalization.

We currently have departments such as marketing, production, publicity planning, marketing, brand operation, human resources, finance, and legal affairs. We also recruited a strong manager this year.

"Mr. Li, are you adapting well now that you've just arrived at the company?" When Zhang Chen and his companion arrived at the core area of the company, they met Li Xiaoping, who had been working at the company for two months.

After feeling the busyness of the entertainment industry in the past two years and feeling that she did not have enough time to spend with her husband, Sun Fangping began to think about retiring behind the scenes.

At the same time, we also need to find a helmsman for Chenguang Entertainment.

At this time, Li Xiaoping, who had just left the central bank, came into Sun Fangping's sight.

In order to recruit this promising general, Su Fangping not only offered him an annual salary of nearly 500,000 yuan, but also gave him shares in the position.

If the company's predetermined goals can be achieved, annual revenue exceeding one million will not be a problem.

"I've adapted quite well to the situation. My colleagues in the company are all very cooperative with my work." Since Li Xiaoping took the position of vice president of Morning Glory Entertainment, he felt that this is the place where he can truly display his talents, and he has also developed a strong passion for his work.

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you have any difficulties." Although Sun Fangping is still the president of Chenguang Entertainment, many matters have been handed over to Li Xiaoping. When the time is right, she will promote Li Xiaoping to the position.

"Professor Zhang and the others are already in the office, so I won't disturb your reunion. I also have to check on the progress of the company's preparations for next year's drama." Li Xiaoping knew that Zhang Chen and his mother had to reunite with their hometown people, so he tactfully found an excuse to leave.

"Mom, what drama will the company shoot next year?" Zhang Chen was a little curious. He hadn't paid attention to the company's development for a long time.

"This year, the company bought the adaptation rights of Xi Juan's novel from Wandao, and it is expected to be filmed next year." Sun Fangping is still aware of the company's actions next year.

"Also, Ms. Chen is going to produce another drama next year, but this time she didn't ask us to invest."

Zhang Chen and Sun Fangping were referring to another novel by Qiong Yao, "Deep Love in the Rain", a drama with a somewhat distorted outlook on life.

Qiong Yao was short of money when she was filming Return of the Condor Heroes 2, but now she is making a lot of money after the two dramas, so there is naturally no reason for her to look for more investment.

As for the company's drama, it should be "Marrying the Wrong Man in the Right Carriage", which is a TV series with good reputation and ratings.

Now Chenguang Entertainment is pursuing a small-step strategy to seize a place in the slowly emerging mainland market.

"Let's go. Don't make your dad and the others wait anxiously."

In Sun Fangping's office, Zhang Zhiguo, Liu Xiaoli, Yao Beina, Yao Beina's father Yao Feng, and Liu Yifei who was chatting enthusiastically with Yao Beina, all turned their eyes to the door the moment the office door opened.

"Sister Na, Zhang Chen is here, you have to help me." Before the adults could speak, Xiao Liu started to complain to Yao Bei.

　The protagonist is about to enter a period of voice change, which also means that his singing career will come to a temporary end. The plot will also quickly go through the nearly two years, and the book will officially enter the main storyline.

　　The foreshadowing was a bit long, which was something I didn't expect. I originally planned to cover the years 97-02 within words, but when I actually started writing it, I found that if many things were not explained completely, the subsequent plot would be a bit hollow.

　　Thank you all for following here.

　　It won’t be long before various supporting characters and love scenes are added to the plot.

　　I'm not bragging, but as someone who works in the wedding industry, I'm very good at writing love stories.
