Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 86: Successful bid for the Olympic Games and the popularity of PHS
On July 7, a sudden rain came again in Moscow at night.

Shen Lang appeared as a guest in the Phoenix TV studio at the Moss venue on the night of Yanjing's Olympic bid.

Also present were stars like Li Wen, Zhou Xingchi, Simon Yam, Tian Qiwen, Dou Wentao, and Lu Yu.

"Alang, you said we would definitely succeed, right? We have done it so perfectly."

"Sister CoCo, trust me, I will succeed 100 percent of the time. If I fail, I will quit the entertainment industry."

Shen Lang can set this flag.

Li Wen smiled and said, "When you say 'stable', it really feels stable. I am not nervous now."

Shen Lang followed with a smile and said, "This time, we are invincible."

At this time, Lu Yu came over to join in the fun and said, "Really? I don't believe it."

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Don't you think so?"

Lu Yu said with a grin, "I'm just kidding. I don't believe you will really quit the entertainment industry."

Shen Lang was speechless and said, "Because they won't give me this opportunity."

Zhou Xingchi also came over and said in his unstandard Mandarin: "Aren't you nervous? My palms are full of sweat."

Lu Yu stretched out his hand and said, "I'm nervous. Look, my hands are shaking."

Li Wen smiled and said, "I was nervous just now, but after talking to Alang, I feel much better now."

Ren Dahua, Tian Qiwen, and Dou Wentao came over one after another.

After talking for a while, it was nine o'clock in the evening and the live broadcast began.

The five cities were listed in order, with Yanjing ranking fourth.

The delegation joked that it was a good omen, as "four china" sounded like "for china", meaning destiny belonged to China.

When Yang Lan made her presentation, she originally wanted to start with the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but the international experts hired by the team pointed out that not everyone has seen this movie and that most "dragons" in the West are evil dragons.

So Yang Lan started with Cuju instead: "We women started playing football in the Song Dynasty, so now the Chinese women's football team is very strong..."

Laughter broke out in the venue.

At the end of the presentation, Yang Lan said: "700 years ago, someone asked Marco Polo, is your description of China true? He said, I only described half of what I saw to you. Come to Yanjing and discover China with your own eyes!"

The voting process was long and arduous.

Whether it was the Chinese delegation on the scene or the millions of Chinese people outside the venue, they were becoming more and more nervous.

In the Phoenix TV studio.

Shen Lang and others stood up from their seats and watched the broadcast on TV intently.

After the voting was over, Samaranch came on stage. After looking at the results, he smiled slightly and first thanked all the bidding cities.

Chinese people around the world held their breath.

After a moment, Samaranch read out: "(English) The city that won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games is - Yanjing!"

Cheers echoed throughout the audience.

For a moment, the entire China Millennium Monument was boiling, the entire Yanjing City was boiling, and the entire China was boiling!

At this moment, screams were heard everywhere in the Phoenix TV studio.

Shen Lang was hugged by Li Wen and Zhou Xingchi on the left and right.

The eardrum seemed to be shattered.

He looked calmer, but there were tears in his eyes.

Shen Lang thought he knew the result, so his emotions didn't fluctuate much.

However, when the word "Yanjing" came out, cheers and screams were heard.

He was very excited.

Perhaps it is because you have experienced it that you will be more moved.

Everyone jumped and danced, shouting "Yanjing", and many people shed tears.

Because, the century-old dream of us Chinese people has finally come true at this moment.

After the successful bid for the Olympic Games, China has set off a craze for learning English.

In the Yanjing taxis, the drivers are all listening to English tapes.

Xidan Book Building sold 1900 English books in a single day. The most popular ones were "100 Sentences for Yenching People to Learn English" and "300 Sentences for Yenching People to Learn English". The English corner in the building was always packed.

The Olympic atmosphere is everywhere.

When the bid for the Olympic Games was successful in the previous life, Shen Lang was still young and in Chengdu, so he did not feel it particularly deeply.

Now that he is in Yanjing, he can personally experience everyone's excitement and excitement.

However, he came a little late. If he had come a year or two earlier, he would have invested in more than just one song.

But there are still seven years before the Yanjing Olympics, and there is still a lot that can be done.

------------

Qiongzhou in August is hot and bustling with tourists.

Mobile phone stores of all sizes are also very popular.

Since the province implemented the construction of Xiaolingtong communication base stations on April 4, China Telecom began to officially release numbers to the public in Haikou, triggering a buying spree.

Meng Xue is an urban white-collar worker who has just graduated from college and entered the society half a year ago. Mobile phones are very important to her work, but her current salary simply cannot afford it.

But now there are alternatives.

She came to the commercial street and entered a mobile phone store called Vico. She asked, "Boss, do you have PHS?"

The boss said with a smile: "Yes, we have them all here, take a look and see which one you want."

Meng Xue wiped her hair and blushed as she asked, "Do you have the one from the advertisement 'darling, darling, darling...'?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, you are talking about the ZTE model endorsed by the celebrity Shen Lang."

Meng Xue nodded hurriedly. She didn't mention Shen Lang because she was worried that the boss wouldn't know him. But it turned out that the boss knew him, and all the awkward humming just now was in vain.

Since its launch, Xiaolingtong has had two characteristics.

One is "holding a pager in hand, standing in the wind and rain, switching from left hand to right hand, the right hand can't get through, Hello, hello? Fuck!", the signal is not very good.

One is that compared with mobile phones, Xiaolingtong phones have the advantage of "wired charges, wireless enjoyment". The one-way charge of 0.10 yuan per minute is only 1/5 to 1/10 of the two-way charge of mobile phones, or even more.

For people of average financial status like Meng Xue, the 10-fold price difference between Xiaolingtong and mobile phones makes all its shortcomings insignificant.

"Here you go, walk slowly."

"Ah."

Meng Xue walked out of the mobile phone store, playing with the newly bought PHS in her hand.

"It's pretty good looking, and its appearance is not much different from a mobile phone."

The reason why she chose this ZTE model was entirely because of Shen Lang's endorsement, as she knew nothing about these electronic products.

Among the dozens of cities across the country that have launched the Xiaolingtong service, there are many people who have made the same choice as her.

Some people like Shen Lang, and some people like it because of the star advertising effect.

How popular is ZTE's Xiaolingtong? The fact that they set an internal annual operating target for Xiaolingtong from 8 million yuan was adjusted to 12 billion yuan shows how well it is selling.

Some dealers could not wait for the goods, so they made various appointments with ZTE's senior leaders and put pressure on the production line through them.

Once, in order to get a Xiaolingtong mobile phone, a dealer wanted to kneel down when he met the product line leader. Of course, he didn't kneel down, but he scared the product line leader.

In the original time and space, the global telecommunications business faced an unprecedented low in 2001, but ZTE earned nearly 24 billion yuan in revenue from its Xiaolingtong products, capturing nearly 2002% of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone market share in one year. In 40, it exceeded 2003 billion yuan, and in 70 it exceeded billion yuan.

The better the sales, the more advertising.

The more you advertise, the more you sell.

Shen Lang took advantage of ZTE's big wave to make his presence felt in front of the general public.

Of course, his influence also brought ZTE a considerable amount of income.

This time, Shen Lang and ZTE can be said to have achieved a win-win cooperation.

At the same time, the humming version of "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" also became popular.

Moreover, ZTE has also made this the built-in ringtone of this Xiaolingtong phone.

This song can be heard on various occasions and at various times.

"Is this voice Sun Yanzi?"

"Ah? Uh, yes."

Gao Yuanyuan pinched Shen Lang's face and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Lang remained calm and said, "I'm not nervous."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and said, "By the way, the songs 'Silence' and 'Green Light' in her new album are pretty good. I asked Sister Du, and she sold over 30 copies of her album, so it's estimated to be in the millions again. Now the saying 'Shen Lang for men, Stefanie for women' is finally confirmed."

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, took the opportunity to change the subject, and said: "Isn't it 'Shen Lang in the North, Jie Lun in the South'?"

Gao Yuanyuan pinched his face again and said, "I won't say anymore. You'll find me annoying later."

Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun didn't really have much to say. At most, they were spiritual friends, not physical friends. But in front of Gao Yuanyuan, he didn't talk about it if he could. He said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. Sister Mei's application for a concert in mainland China has been approved in advance. She's scheduled to be in Beijing on August 8, Shanghai on October 31, and Guangzhou on December 10. Which one do you want to go to, or all of them, so I can get tickets for you."

Gao Yuanyuan lay in his arms, her eyes flickering as she asked, "Which show are you a guest at?"

Shen Lang raised his hand to push away the messy hair on her forehead and replied, "Yanjing venue."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll go to Yanjing Field."

Shen Lang nodded.

I had promised Anita Mui a long time ago that I would be a guest at the concert.

It would be a good thing to go and attract some of her fans.
