Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 105: First Application to Join the Ranks! Sales Explode!
Gao Yuanyuan finally couldn't resist and sent Shen Qing a text message.

at this time.

Shen Qing was riding a happy little rocking horse, swaying back and forth.

Feeling good~
Shen Qing, on the other hand, was relatively free. He didn't put in much effort, and now a text message had arrived. Shen Qing was quite curious as to who was so lonely as to send a text message at such a late hour!
When I opened my phone, it was Gao Yuanyuan...

Beaver!
She's been plagued by negative news lately, she must be feeling pretty down.
After reading her short essay, Shen Qing shook her head, looked at the little wooden horse, and said, "Private, I'm going to make a phone call. Don't make a sound."

Zhang Liangying immediately stopped, saluted, and said, "Yes, sir. Private First Class will absolutely obey your orders and will not utter a sound, because I am no longer a rookie in the recruit camp!"

Shen Qing: "Little wooden horse, I'm fucking satisfied with your answer."

Zhang Liangying: "Sir, is it wood or mother?"

Shen Qing: "Private, Ying, you've asked another excellent question. So let me ask you, do you prefer wood or mother? Answer me loudly!"

Zhang Liangying: "Reporting, sir...!"

Shen Qing: "Nice! Now, continue your gallop!"

……

Subsequently.

Shen Qing dialed Gao Yuanyuan's number.

Yuanyuan was still curled up in the recliner, holding her phone, when she suddenly saw an incoming call. After hesitating for a long time, she answered and said in a slightly panicked voice, "Ah, Teacher Shen Qing, you...you're still awake?"

Shen Qing: "Let me explain to you that there were other concerns when we didn't choose you as the female lead in the music video. It wasn't because we looked down on you, so don't overthink it."

Gao Yuanyuan's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

When she sent the text message, she only felt wronged and upset.

Now that Shen Qing has actually explained it to her, she feels ashamed instead.

Gao Yuanyuan: "I'm sorry, Teacher Shen. I was just in a bad mood. Please don't take it to heart. I didn't mean to blame you. I'm not like that."

Shen Qing: "Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep early."

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, seemingly reluctant to end things so quickly. "Oh, goodnight! By the way, Ms. Shen, when are you free? I'd like to invite you for coffee..."

"Liangying's album was just released recently, so I've been a bit busy. Let's talk when I have time."

"Okay, sure~"

You could tell that Yuanyuan was a little disappointed.

But that's exactly the effect Shen Qing wanted. If you agree to everything she says, then who's the soldier and who's the officer?

The primary and secondary points should not be confused.

The more indifferent you are to Yuanyuan, the more attractive she finds you and the more she wants to get closer to you.

To put it bluntly, I just like being controlled by the CPU.
Let's keep her interested for now, and then we'll take advantage of the right moment...

The most important thing right now is the album!
After all, this involves money.

In the entertainment industry, you can lack singing skills, acting skills, and connections, but you can't lack money.

hang up the phone.

Zhang Liangying immediately saluted and asked with a pained expression, "Reporting, sir!"

Shen Qing: "Speak!"

How could she possibly describe her beautiful appearance?
During the minute she was on the phone, Liangying barely heard anything; it was even more unbearable than standing at attention during military training.

……

On May 17, just seven days after its release, "Zhang Liangying" topped the list of best-selling albums in mainland China with an overwhelming 800,000 copies sold, far exceeding the second-place album's 450,000 copies.

The second place went to Hu Yanbing.

He was stunned when he saw the sales figures.

His album "Music Code," released in March, sold 250,000 copies in its first month, which was already impressive. But Zhang Liangying sold 800,000 copies in a week. Is she even human?

Moreover, 10 out of the 13 songs included in "Zhang Liangying" made it into the top 30 of Baidu Music's MP3 chart.

Among them, "Warmth", "The One I Miss", "Little Happiness" and "Chinese" squeezed "I Don't Want to Grow Up", "Serious Snow", "Big City, Small Love" and "Peach Blossoms in Full Bloom" out of the top ten.

Meanwhile, songs like "In My Song," "Moonlight," "Ten Thousand Borders," and "If Love Continues" also surpassed songs like "Curved Eyelashes" and "Cherry Blossom Grass" to enter the top 20.

As for other music platforms, they were also swept aside, with no one able to withstand them.

Moreover, all the songs in the album have firmly occupied the top three positions on the radio request charts, especially during prime time. As long as you turn on the radio, you can hear fans requesting Jane Zhang's songs.

The fans are amazing!

With fans like these, how could the album not sell well!?
Walking through the streets and alleys, you can hear songs like "Chinese," "The One I Miss," "My Song," and "Warmth" everywhere. There are also many businesses playing "Dancing Diva," but it's hard to make a living on its own.

For a time, the children on the street seemed to know only that there was a beautiful woman in the music scene.

During this period, Shen Qing took Zhang Liangying to do promotions and autograph sessions every day. When they returned to the hotel, they would check the MP3 charts to see the rankings. Every time they found 'Cai Yilin' among the dense list of Zhang Liangying's names, they felt a pang of sadness.

Of Cai Yilin's new songs that made it into the top ten, only "Dancing Girl" made it in; "Madrid Unbelievable" is already outside the top 50.

On May 20th, 12 days after the album's release, "The One I Miss" and "Little Happiness" broke into the top three, surpassing "Invisible Wings," "Nocturne," and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Singers from mainland China have remained silent.

That Eagle: Luckily I haven't released an album in a few years, otherwise I would have been incredibly embarrassed.

Han Hong: Zhang Liangying's singing is so energetic! I don't care anymore, I want to sing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," Yala So...

Yang Kun: I'm definitely not going to be in the top three of the Chinese music scene this year. I'll release another album next year!
Wang Feng: I'm too busy this year to make headlines.

……

On June 2, Tanya Chua released her album "T-time".

On her tenth anniversary in the industry, she felt so lost for the first time, as she hadn't attracted the slightest attention from mainland media, and no one had reported on her. June 12th marked one month since the release of "Zhang Liangying".

On this day, the total sales of the official album across Asia approached 230 million copies, surpassing the 200 million copies sold in the first month of "November's Chopin" last year.

The total number of ringback tones played has reached the top three.

This data is terrifying!
This directly announces the arrival of a new pop diva in the Chinese music scene!
Even established singers were still a bit stunned at that moment.

They've released so many albums over the years, and none of them have sold this well. Why is Zhang Liangying so amazing?!
Actually, the reasons are simple, there are only three points: a large and loyal fanbase, strong and excellent songs, and casual listeners also like to listen to them!
There is no other way.

The media updates the news almost every day.

Every day, as long as there is a report on Jane Zhang's new album, the number of clicks will exceed the previous levels, and the traffic is stronger than ever before.

After all, it's been almost a year, and the fans have been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Now that the new album is out, people are going crazy for it. They not only buy the album, but also leave comments and upvote posts on various forums. Their frenzy is even greater than during the era of internet traffic.

……

Hong Kong.

When Hong Kong media saw the monthly sales figures for "Jane Zhang's Album," they used an unprecedented, jaw-dropping headline: "The Only Queen of Pop Has Arrived in the Chinese Music Scene; For the Next Ten Years, Jane Zhang Will Be Unrivaled!"

Hong Kong singer: ? ? ?
……

Mainland China.

The media was equally eager, pulling out all the stops to create sensationalism.

[Zhang Liangying, the 2005 Super Girl champion, saw her debut album sell over 230 million copies in its first month, surpassing Jay Chou to top the charts.]

[Zhang Liangying makes a triumphant return after a year; album sales are devastating]

[With 230 million copies sold in its first month and over 500 million pirated copies, who exactly is buying this album like crazy?]

[Jane Zhang's self-titled album "Jane Zhang" is expected to sell over 350 million copies across Asia this year, earning a staggering 2 million yuan from just one album, rivaling Jay Chou's earning power.]

[Zhang Liangying, known as the "workaholic," held 16 autograph sessions in 16 cities over 16 days, signing a total of 12 CDs, and was so exhausted that she had to be hospitalized for an IV drip.]

[EE-Media Announces: Li Yuchun's debut album "Queen and Dream" will be released on September 15th, and pre-orders will begin on August 1st.]

[Zhou Bichang's record company revealed that the album "Who Moved My Strings" has been completed and will be released throughout Asia on August 12.]

【…】

Although everyone knows that Zhou Bichang and Li Yuchun are trying to ride on Liang Ying's popularity... the media still enjoys comparing the two of them with Liang Ying.

Because this will generate clicks.

The fans were outraged when they saw this, and they complained about it on forums and news articles.

"What are these media outlets up to? What makes those two brothers think they can be compared to Zhang Liangying? Do they even deserve it? One song, 'Chinese,' is enough for them to study for a lifetime."

“Super Girl only has Jane Zhang and 'others'.”

"If you're smart, release the album next year. If it doesn't sell more than 50 copies this year, people will laugh their heads off."

"..."

Although 50 photos are much fewer than Zhang Liangying's...

But actually, among mainland singers in 2006, they would have easily ranked in the top three.

The music scene in this era is so polarized.

Top-tier singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan can easily sell over a million albums, while for mainland artists like Wang Feng and Sun Nan, it's extremely difficult for their albums to sell over 50 copies.

Wang Feng's best-selling album is "Blooming Life," released at the end of last year. Half a year has passed, and it has only sold 56 copies. It is estimated that it will reach more than 60 copies by the end of the year.

……

Taipei, EMI Records.

Cai Yilin had been sitting by the window in a daze for half a day, unable to accept that her sales were being crushed by Zhang Liangying.

Moreover, it was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

She poured all her efforts into creating "Dancing Diva," hiring an Australian music producer and studying dance in the United States, yet it barely sold 170 million copies across Asia.

Zhang Liangying has 60 more photos than her.

This is even after she has been in the industry for many years and has become famous throughout Asia.

Moreover, even in Taiwan, Zhang Liangying's album has sold over 100,000 copies, almost catching up with Wang Leehom's "Heroes of the World".

The newcomers this year can only be described as terrifying.

Chen Zebing appeared behind her at some point and said, "Jolin, don't be sad. You and Zhang Liangying are only missing Shen Qing. He is the key to determining sales."

Seeing that Jolin was still somewhat depressed, he continued, "Without Shen Qing, could she have written those songs? If Shen Qing were your music producer, you could sing those songs. Then, you, Jolin, would be a true queen of transformation."

Cai Yilin smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I feel much better after hearing your words of comfort. I'm not so sad anymore. Anyway, I'm already number one on the island. It doesn't matter if I can't beat them on the mainland. After all, they have Shen Qing..."

In fact, this blow was quite significant for her.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted……

Cai Yilin doesn't know if she'll have the courage to keep pushing forward next year; at least not now. She just wants to find a place to sleep.

For the past month, she has been running around promoting her work and has held 20 book signings. She is exhausted.

……

Taipei, Warner Music.

Pan Xiaoshuai had just finished a phone call with Shen Qing and was now rubbing his temples, feeling a little aggrieved. "Qing, Ying, the way you guys are doing this makes me look like a noob. Jay Chou and the others are just talking big, but I really am releasing an album in a few days..."
