Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

The album "Too Softhearted" has been on the market for a full week.

Thanks to the large amount of promotional resources invested by Sony, and the already high popularity of the single "Too Softhearted".

Now, just one week after its release, sales in mainland China have already exceeded a staggering 500,000 copies!

Five hundred thousand!

This was simply outrageous in the mainland audio-visual market in 1996!

This data more than tripled the previous sales record in mainland China!

Even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the highest-grossing song in its first week, "Kiss Goodbye" by singer Jacky Cheung, is probably only at this level.

But that's the Heavenly King Zhang Xueyou!

This is Qin Sheng, who has just debuted!

Comparing these two people side by side is enough to illustrate the point.

At Sony Corporation, Chen Heping was looking at the data submitted by his subordinates with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

The album "Too Softhearted" is great in every way except for one thing.

That means the traffic is too scattered.

The radio station received song requests, some of which were "Sad Pacific Ocean," some were "Listen to the Sea," some were "First Experience of Love," some were "My Heart is Too Chaotic," some were "Quicksand," and some were "Love is Simple."

In short, the goal is to ensure that every song and dance performance is a hit.

The quality of these ten songs caused a major upheaval in the industry.

During the "Golden Autumn of 1996" pop music season, some music critics and singers sourly felt that Qin Sheng was just lucky and that his song "Too Softhearted" happened to become a hit.

But now that this album is out, everyone has shut up.

One person wrote the lyrics and music for ten hit songs. To say that it was just luck is a bit of an exaggeration.

Qin Sheng's reputation as a genius singer-songwriter resounded throughout the entire industry within a week.

In the past few days, Sony's phone lines have been ringing off the hook.

Record company owners and established singers all came to him through connections to request songs.

But Qin Sheng didn't agree to any of them.

Even though the price for a single song had reached over 100,000, Qin Sheng still refused without changing his expression.

What's the rush?

"Too Softhearted" has already gained momentum, but its current sales are less than one-twentieth of its previous peak.

At the very least, it will take at least a month for sales to reach the level of several million before their commercial value can be truly realized.

That's when I'll start accepting song requests.

The "sky-high" prices reported now will be found to be too conservative a month from now.

While external invitations can be easily declined, some people within Sony are not so easy to avoid.

In the past few days, when Qin Sheng went to the company to see Zeng Li, he encountered no fewer than five girls who expressed their affection for him.

They are all newly signed, fresh-faced newcomers to the company.

Qin Sheng and Zeng Li are a couple; this is no secret within the company.

Even so, it didn't stop the girls from throwing themselves at him even though they knew he was already taken.

To be honest, the girls are all pretty good.

Around twenty years old, handpicked by the company, how could they be bad?

In the eyes of ordinary people, they would all be called school beauties and would be pursued by everyone.

But within this circle, after their personalities are subtly distorted, they become ruthless in their pursuit of fame.

For example, right now.

As Qin Sheng walked normally around the corner of the corridor, a girl with long, flowing hair approached him.

This is a new employee who recently signed with the company. She's quite pretty and usually goes for a pure and innocent image.

As the two passed each other, the girl suddenly twisted her ankle and almost fell limply into Qin Sheng's arms.

"oops......"

That "Aiya" sound was so perfect, it was almost like Tao Zhe's voice. Qin Sheng almost wanted to call her the number one female singer in R&B!

At this moment, if Qin Sheng were to be sensible, he should reach out and embrace the other person's slender waist, then the two of them should look into each other's eyes and spark a little romance.

But how could a seasoned veteran like Qin Sheng easily fall into such a trap?

He nimbly took a big step to the side, putting his hands behind his back.

"Bang!"

The girl had expected Qin Sheng to dodge, but she didn't expect him to dodge so thoroughly.

Losing her balance, she fell heavily to the floor.

Qin Sheng looked down at her, his face full of concern.

"Are you alright? Be careful when you walk, the ground is quite slippery."

The girl's eyes were red, whether from pain or anger, it was hard to tell.

Qin Sheng chuckled and continued walking forward, seemingly unconcerned.

As a scumbag, he is certainly not an honest person.

But after so many years in the industry, Qin Sheng has come to understand one thing deeply: sleeping around is a very dangerous thing.

Have you not seen how many celebrities and even people from other industries in past lives got into trouble because of the revelations of their spouses?

Therefore, choosing a bed partner is actually a very important matter.

The first type of woman to avoid is one with an unstable mindset and immature mentality.

You never know when or what might cause her to suddenly explode in front of you.

The preferred choice is those mature, low-key, and knowledgeable older people who understand the rules of the industry.

For example, with Wang Siyi and He Qing, Qin Sheng wasn't worried at all that they would cause trouble.

Of course, as a reborn person, Qin Sheng has a unique advantage: he knows in advance which "old people" will not cause trouble.

For example, Zhang Ziyi, Teacher Zhang in her previous life must have had an incredibly rich experience, but she managed to keep it so secret that there was almost no concrete evidence.

Even if Teacher Zhang is only a newcomer in this life, I can be sure that the other party is safe.

These are the kinds of people you'd consider a jerk.

At present, Sony does not have a security personnel it is familiar with, so Qin Sheng does not intend to cause trouble within the company.

Just wait a little longer.

In one month, I will be starting my studies at the Beijing Film Academy.

Damn it, I almost forgot I'm still a student at the Beijing Film Academy.

A month later, the Beijing Film Academy will start its semester, where there will be plenty of scumbag boyfriends that I both like and feel safe with.

In the evening, when it was time to get off work, Qin Sheng and Zeng Li went home together.

As they walked, Zeng Li leaned on Qin Sheng's shoulder, her expression subtly shifting.

Qin Sheng's clothes were filled with the scent of girls.

Her heart tightened instantly.

After these days of turmoil, a subtle change has occurred in her mindset.

When they first met, she was attracted by Qin Sheng's good looks.

Later, he showcased his talent for writing songs for Liu Huan and Mao Amin at the bar.

Later, it was his mature way of dealing with people and situations.

In the end, he helped her sign the contract and gave her a "bride price" of 388,000 yuan, which relieved her of her worries and anxieties. Zeng Li felt that she had no way to repay him and had to marry Qin Sheng.

Then the two developed a deep relationship, and as a traditional girl, Zeng Li became even more determined that he was the one for her.

But unexpectedly, Qin Sheng became famous.

It's not just popular, it's wildly popular.

It became so popular that it was known to everyone in the country, young and old.

Sister Zhao once did a simple calculation for herself during a casual chat.

With his album "Too Softhearted", Qin Sheng could earn at least ten million yuan in a year!

Ten million! In 96!

What does this mean?!

Back in his hometown, he could probably be the richest man in the country!

After settling the accounts, Sister Zhao said to herself meaningfully, "If you protect Qin Sheng well, you'll never have to worry about anything in your life."

As for some minor details, don't worry about them.

At first, Zeng Li didn't understand what "trivial matters" meant.

But after smelling Qin Sheng's fragrance today, and considering the usual behavior of the girls in the company, Zeng Li felt she understood immediately.
