The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 281: The memory of the times, the king bomb starts
On July 7, fans around the world, who had been kept in the dark for a full half month, finally welcomed the premiere of "Singer".

This is extremely rare in previous program or movie promotions.

Because for a variety show, as long as they invite big names, they would like the whole world to know about it, so as to maximize the publicity effect and also fix the fans of the big names as the audience of the show.

But "Singer" did the opposite and filled the atmosphere with mystery.

I only tell you that there will be a big shot, but I won’t tell you who it is.

This has led many fans who think their idols are big stars to start paying attention to this program.

However, this is also due to the influence of Morning Light Music in the global music scene, especially in China. Whenever fans go to their idols' Weibo or Facebook to ask if they are participating in "Singer", all the singers' responses are surprisingly consistent: pay more attention to the show.

This is a tacit understanding, and no singer would openly break it.

Even the dumbest singer will not break this tacit understanding if reminded by his agent.

The reason is that "Morning Light Music" is now another job for many singers around the world.

Offending "Morning Light Music"?
Then their album won’t get much exposure on Morning Light Music.

Now that the Internet is on the rise, exposure = traffic, traffic = sales, and sales = revenue.

No one can resist money.

At 7: p.m., Yanjing time, China, in the Chenguang community.

Today, many employees of the Chenguang Group, especially the artists, got together.

"Yifei, don't you often stay with the boss? Do you know which singers are invited to the show?"

Since returning to Morning Light, Fan Bingbing has focused on managing the relationship with artists in the same company.

Today she also invited the Morning Light artists to a gathering at her home.

Her house is different from others.

After being allocated the house, she went to Li Xiaoping to apply, took out all the money she had earned over the years, and bought all six floors of the building.

After connecting all the units, the area of the house reached 500 square meters.

So this time, even though we invited so many people to the gathering in the living room, it didn't seem crowded.

"I've been pestering my brother for half a month, but he just won't tell me!"

Liu Yifei picked up a bag of potato chips angrily and started to bite them, as if she mistook the chips for Zhang Chen, and she bit them very hard.

"I called Ruyi too, but she said she had something to do today, so it's unlikely."

“The show has begun.”

Fan Bingbing wanted to use the Chen Guang artists who were not present to analyze which Chen Guang singers participated in the show, but Gao Yuanyuan's words interrupted her analysis.

She glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned her gaze to the screen.

She didn't care. After all, during this period of time, she had a good relationship with all the artists in Chen Guang. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who would come to the party for her sake.

She is determined to win the title of "Morning Light No. 1 Sister"!
While thinking about something, Chen Guang's old friend, Teacher He, appeared on the TV.

"Hello, everyone who is watching the live broadcast this morning."

“Ladies and gentlemen”

Because it is a program for the whole world, we chose to have dual hosts from China and England.

"I guess everyone has been guessing during this period of time which singers we have invited to participate in our program." Teacher He smiled brightly at the camera, "Many fans also left messages on my Weibo, wanting me to tell everyone in advance."

“But Zhang Chen said that it would be more interesting to add a little mystery so that everyone could witness the answer themselves.”

After Teacher He finished speaking, many people in front of the TV spat.

"Bah! I don't want to guess."

Liu Yifei spoke on behalf of the public.

The artists around were all looking at each other, and no one dared to express their opinions.

That's what their boss wants, who would dare to do that?

Only Liu Yifei dares to do that.

"Yeah, that's it!"

Is there actually anyone who responded?

Even Wang Baoqiang, who looked silly, thought this man was a warrior.

However, when they saw that it was Shu Chang who was speaking, they felt it made sense.

This is Liu Yifei's little follower. The two of them often appear in various occasions, and have been photographed shopping by reporters more than once or twice.

While they marveled at Shu Chang's courage, they couldn't help but envy the relationship between her and Liu Yifei.

If he could establish a good relationship with Liu Yifei in the Chenguang Group, who did not have a specific position but whose status was unreasonable, then he would not be able to walk sideways in the Chenguang Group, but at least he would be able to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Even if we put aside Liu Yifei's position in the Morning Glory Group, her net worth of nearly 20 billion RMB alone makes her a powerful figure.

With various thoughts in their minds, everyone focused their attention on the TV.

At this time, Teacher He and the host from the United States had already introduced the features of the program and reported on some sponsors.

The only thing worth noting is that the title sponsor this time is not Coca-Cola of "The Voice of China", but Pepsi.

I don’t know how much money Pepsi spent to bite off such a big piece of meat from Coca-Cola.

"My brother is also good at making money. Pepsi is bleeding a lot this time."

"Ok?"

"A full $10 million in naming rights fees, plus advertising for more than a dozen other products, the advertising fees alone exceeded $1.5 million. That money-hungry guy is really a vampire."

"Uh"

When everyone was marveling at Zhang Chen's ability to make money, the first contestant also appeared.

"real or fake?!"

"How can it be!"

Even the star Fan Bingbing looked incredulous, not to mention the ordinary audience watching TV.

Because this person is so, so famous.

"Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,

"

When the lights on the stage came on, two gray-haired singers played and sang a song from the 60s in the center of the stage.

Even if today's young people were not born in that era, they will hear this song on certain occasions.

Even though 40 years have passed, this song is still a monument in the history of world music.

The song is like the earnest teachings of two elders to the younger generation. The melody is graceful and the lyrics are full of inspirational meaning.

“Na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude
"

There is nothing after that, just this simple line of lyrics or call is repeated over and over.

Later, the judges from all over the world and the fans who watched the TV at any time of day or night to find out the answer all started to sing along with the lonely old man on the stage. Some of the elderly audience members even had tears in their eyes while singing.

Because this is the eternal memory of their generation.

This memory has been buried for too long.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr
Audiences in China may be unfamiliar with this name.

But as long as you mention the band he and several other singers formed, they will instantly remember who they are.

The Beatles
They are the first band to become a symbol of an era in the name of rock music. Their large number of music with profound themes and wide-ranging content can spiritually embody the true essence of rock music.

As a band with great influence in the history of pop music, they have made great contributions to the development of rock music worldwide. They have influenced the music and ideas of rock bands since the 20s and directly affected the transformation of rock music.

In the United States, they brought a wave known as the "American Invasion", which fundamentally impacted the foundation of American music and influenced the subsequent development of American pop music.

In front of them, even the current world pop king Michael Jackson has to call him senior.

Even though two of the four members of the band have passed away, the remaining two members

"Hey Jude"

It was Paul McCartney, one of the two people on the stage, who created it for band member John Lennon.

The inspiration for the song came from the fact that John Lennon separated from his ex-wife and fell in love with Japanese singer Yoko Ono, which dealt a heavy blow to John Lennon's son Julian, so he wanted to compose this song to comfort Julian.

John Lennon is dead.

This song is not only a classic song of the Beatles, but also their remembrance of John Lennon.

When they finished singing, everyone at the scene stood up and paid their most sincere tribute to these legends.

"I don't think I need to introduce the two of you on the stage any further, right?"

Teacher He came to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, greeted them, and said to the public judges: "The beautiful memories of several generations, I hope that all the fans who watch "Singer" today can recall those days at this moment."

"Okay, before everyone votes, I believe everyone is curious about why the two of them came to participate in the show, so let me ask for everyone."

After another host translated, Paul and the others also understood what Teacher He meant.

Paul looked strange: “I received a call that day saying he was Leon.”

"Oh?"

“Then I hung him up.”

"This"

Not only Teacher He and the audience were stunned, even Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and others in front of the TV were stunned.

It was Shu Chang who asked curiously, "So there are still warriors in this world who dare to hang up on their boss?"

Liu Yifei nodded with a strange look on her face: "But if someone called me and told me that he was the Queen of Ying Country, I would probably hang up the phone."

This metaphor.
Everyone thought about it and it seemed reasonable.

Returning his gaze to the TV, Paul continued, “After hanging up three times, it was Lingo who reminded me to confirm Leon’s identity, and then I believed it.”

"Hahahaha, then what happened? What reason did he use to convince you to participate in the show?"

"He said that he liked us very much and hoped that we could participate in the show. We are also very honored to be recognized by this genius of Lyon."

"No, no, no, even though I think Zhang Chen is amazing, you guys are the idols of fans all over the world."

"I'm getting old." Paul sighed softly, "We don't have the energy to make a living like we did when we were young. If we can perform songs that our fans have heard before on this show, I believe that's what they want."

Everyone knew who Paul was referring to.

"Thank you both. Let's go to the backstage lounge to rest first. It's time for everyone to vote."

"Hahaha, okay, I also want to know whether old guys like us are still liked by today's fans."

The two smiled at each other and walked backstage.

At Fan Bingbing's house, everyone listened attentively to Paul and others' memories.

Only Liu Yifei was holding her phone and texting frantically.

"Yifei, what are you doing?"

Shu Chang, who was sitting next to Liu Yifei, looked at her best friend's fingers flying up and down curiously. In her peripheral vision, she accidentally saw a number - $1000 million.

"Nothing, just continue watching the show."

Liu Yifei put away her phone calmly.

What she just asked was already known to everyone, so as to avoid having everyone's filter broken.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that in the entertainment industry, it seemed that many problems could really be solved with money.

"Even the Beatles came out, the singers at the back."

Although Li Bingbing is not a music star, she is aware of the influence of the Beatles in the world.

Apart from the late Queen lead singer, Teeth, there was really no one who could compare to them in that era.

“Well I’ve always wanted to ask, who are the Beatles?”

While everyone was thinking, a weak voice came from the corner.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the unknown person in the morning light who had remained silent and had a very low sense of presence - Wang Baoqiang.

That silly look seems like he really has no idea what era the Beatles represented.

"The Beatles are just that." Liu Yifei frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable adjective. "It's the Beatles!"

Said and not said are the same.

But others couldn't seem to find a suitable adjective to describe them.

All I can say is that people who know about it will definitely know how great they are, but people like Wang Baoqiang who know nothing about music may not be able to explain it clearly even if you explain it for a long time.

"There are the Beatles among foreign singers. What about us Chinese?"

The person who raised this question was Zhang Shaohan.

She is a singer who has participated in the world tour of "The Voice of China".

At the beginning, although the singers from the two countries seemed to be on good terms with each other on the surface, they were actually competing against each other secretly.

Although they are not as famous as Michael and Madonna from "The Voice of China", these Chinese singers are definitely the most enthusiastic in the concerts.

What we are fighting for is just a breath of air!

"This"

When the others heard the question raised by Zhang Shaohan, they also frowned, and they also understood what Zhang Shaohan meant.

Even the thick-skinned Liu Yifei and Shu Chang put down the potato chips in their hands.

After this problem arose, they suddenly felt that the potato chips in their hands no longer tasted good.

"My brother shouldn't be that bad, right?"

　Finally caught up. I had a long trip today, sorry!
