【…】

10 month 11 day.

The Qingying Studio was filled with joy and peace.

Shen Qing appeared carrying a stack of red envelopes, and the crowd applauded and cheered.

Shen Qing: "Liangying, this is a big red envelope for you, 19999.99 yuan. I hope you will continue to work hard and set a benchmark for the Chinese music scene, so that everyone can see what a true diva is!"

Zhang Liangying: "Yes, sir!"

……

Shen Qing: "Chen Liang, this is a red envelope for you, 8888.88 yuan. As our company's only employee, we hope you will become a versatile business professional and lead the studio to new heights!"

Chen Liang: "Loyalty!"

……

Shen Qing: "Rain God, you just started working at the company today, and the first light rain of autumn has fallen in Beijing. That's great! Autumn rain means a good harvest! Here's 8888.88 yuan for you. I hope you'll study vocal music more during this time. If you have any ideas, you can try writing songs."

Hsiao Ching-teng: "Wow, I got a red envelope on my very first day! Boss, I'm sticking with you for life!"

……

Shen Qing: "Yuanyuan, Bingbing, and Tiantian, you three have worked hard filming these past few days. I'll visit you on set when I have time. Here, there's a red envelope for you, 8888.88 yuan!"

The three people said, "Thank you, boss!"

……

Shen Qing: "Alright, the hot pot is ready, let's add the lamb!"

Jane Zhang: "Stop! It's my birthday today! I haven't blown out the candles on the cake yet. I want to make a wish."

Jing Tian: "Haha, Brother Qing punished himself with a drink. Sister Liangying didn't even make a wish. She's the birthday girl today."

That's right, today is both the studio's celebration day and Zhang Liangying's 22nd birthday.

Shen Qing originally wanted to throw her a big party, but Liangying wanted to celebrate in the studio. She said, "This is our studio, our warm little home. It feels like home to celebrate my birthday here."

My little nest, it feels like home...

Beautiful photos still need love!

Shen Qing, of course, would satisfy her, so he had Xiao Jingteng and Chen Liang, who had just arrived, buy the ingredients and pots for hot pot at the supermarket, and also went to the nearby vegetable market to get some fresh lamb.

Then she invited her three best friends, Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, and Jing Tian, ​​to celebrate Zhang Liangying's birthday.

Although there weren't many people, the atmosphere was quite lively.

Especially when talking about the sales of "As You Wish", the exclamations of surprise made Liangying and Shen Qing feel very good.

It's only been less than half a month since it went on sale, and sales have already reached 200 million units. If it weren't for the factory's machines smoking and production capacity being insufficient, it would easily have broken 250 million.

At the current growth rate, it's no surprise that this album will surpass 400 million copies sold.

After finishing his mutton and taking a sip of Sprite, Fan Bingbing said enviously, "350 million copies can earn 1 million. 'As You Wish' must earn 1.5 million this time, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "A lot of money."

Hsiao Ching-teng: "I've calculated it. If it's 400 million CDs, I can earn 1.2 million; if it's 450 million, I can earn 1.35 million. And that doesn't even include the money from selling cassette tapes..."

Jing Tian: "My God, if you include the cassette tapes, it must be at least 1.5 million, right?"

So many zeros, just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

All three women were incredibly envious...

With your first pot of gold, you can generate even more gold. If you invest that, you can earn more than ten times your initial investment if you're lucky.

Is a billionaire about to be born?
Even Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Xiaopang's dream man couldn't compare to her. Their little thoughts started to stir: "We're so envious of Zhang Liangying. Her sugar daddy is handsome, talented, and rich."

……

a few days later.

By the 20th, "As You Wish" had been on the market for a month, and its domestic sales had exceeded 280 million copies.

With the opening of promotional and distribution channels in Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea, sales there are gradually increasing, and Zhang Liangying has already amassed a considerable fan base.

According to Taihe Wheatfield's prediction, the final sales volume across Asia will definitely exceed 400 million, surpassing Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance", and may eventually reach around 450 million copies.

This data left other singers in despair.

One music critic wrote: "Ru Yuan is the last swan song for the physical record market in the Chinese music scene! With the rapid development of the internet and the iterative upgrades of mobile devices, digital records will gradually replace physical records..."

While seemingly predicting the downfall of the record market, this actually gives Jane Zhang a boost!
Fans: Is the record market going to collapse? Then hurry up and buy "Ru Yuan" (如愿), or it will become a collector's item. In this atmosphere, Shen Qing arrived in Xi'an with Zhang Liangying. Tonight, a grand gala will be held—"2006·Grand Ceremony Xi'an".

in fact.

This is a rehearsal stage for the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

The initiator was the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.

Previously, the Organizing Committee had carefully selected Xi'an, a city with a rich cultural heritage, from all over the country.

This gala, with the core concept of "dialogue between historical civilization and modern Olympics," built a bridge to integrate ancient Chinese cultural traditions with the Olympic spirit.

Jane Zhang is one of only two celebrities invited tonight.

The other one is Liu Huan.

Shen Qing and Liang Ying arrived at noon. As soon as they entered the hotel restaurant, Liu Huan greeted them.

He greeted Zhang Liangying, then shook Shen Qing's hand: "It's great to see the little genius again, haha, this album really impressed me."

Shen Qing: "Mr. Liu Huan, you flatter me. I just had a lot of inspiration this time."

Liu Huan: "You're too modest! I also wish I had lots of inspiration, but I don't have any... By the way, Liangying, you're the first to perform tonight. Don't leave after you're done, let's try some late-night snacks in Xi'an."

Just then, Zhang Yimou and Chen Weiya also came over.

As the directors of the gala, the two were extremely busy, but they still managed to take a moment to greet Zhang Liangying and Shen Qing.

This is the card!
Before leaving.

Zhang Yimou said, "Shen Qing, the theme song for the opening ceremony of the Olympics is entrusted to you. Don't let the audience around the world down."

Shen Qing: "Director Zhang, this is too much responsibility. I'm just a young man who's not even twenty years old yet. I can't handle this!"

Everyone: "Haha, Shen Qing, keep it up! We all believe in you!"

It may seem like a joke, but it also shows how important Shen Qing is in everyone's hearts. The fact that she was able to invite Zhang Liangying as one of only two pop singers to the stage tonight shows how highly she was ranked.

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The group arrived at the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City.

A stage has been set up in front of the largest building, and the CCTV-3 broadcast van has also set up its antenna.

When Zhang Liangying stepped out of the car, her fans, who had been waiting nearby, erupted in the loudest cheers of the day, shouting, "Liangying, Liangying, Queen Liangying..."

Zhang Liangying was both amused and exasperated.

Who came up with this slogan?

Could you please remove the word "Queen of Pop"? It's kind of awkward!

Liu Huan, Liu Xiang, Tian Liang, and others walking together suddenly lost their luster.

Seeing Liu Xiang's confident demeanor, Shen Qing felt quite sorry for him, as Liu Xiang had just achieved a personal best of 12.88 seconds at the Lausanne Athletics Super Grand Prix in Switzerland this year.

The entire nation is hoping that he will win an Olympic gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles for China in 2008.

But fate played a cruel trick on him. The intense training before the 08 Olympics caused a severe relapse of his pre-existing injury, leading to his unfortunate withdrawal from the competition.

Shen Qing chatted with Liu Xiang for a while, telling him to get more rest, but it's unclear whether he listened.
the other side.

Zhang Liangying is already rehearsing her stage movements.

Soon after, they began rehearsing with the band. Although they weren't going all out, their amazing singing still caught the attention of the staff, athletes, and tourists in the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City.

"Holy crap, they're singing live, and it's so good?"

"This voice is better than many singers with reverb enabled; it's unbeatable."

"She seems even more amazing than when she participated in Super Girl last year. Shen Qing is incredible for adjusting the image like this!"

"Look, isn't that Shen Qing? He's so handsome in real life."

……

But at 8 p.m., the live broadcast started on time. Countless fans sat in front of the TV waiting for Jane Zhang. After a 5-minute opening dance, Jane Zhang took the stage.

"Ahhh, Liangying is here."

"Wow, your makeup is so beautiful tonight, and this outfit is amazing too. It's both sexy and highlights the beauty of Hanfu."

"The live version will definitely be different."

now.

As the music began, six cameras were pointed at the stage.

Looking at the tens of thousands of tourists (audience) standing below, Jane Zhang slowly raised the microphone and sang "As You Wish" in front of thousands of people for the first time!
This feels completely different from the recording studio.

The ancient and solemn buildings, in particular, deepened Zhang Liangying's understanding of "As You Wish." She suddenly thought of a poem by a great man: "The east is about to dawn, do not say that you set off too early..."
