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

Chapter 106: A Summer Miracle in the Mainland Music Scene, Yuanyuan Delivers Her Pen
Pan Xiaoshuai's upcoming album "Reverse Earth" is actually quite impressive, but it loses its luster when compared to "Zhang Liangying" and "Dancing Girl".

Media attention to it has clearly dropped a notch.

Many newspapers and websites on the mainland only gave him a symbolic section and did not provide much follow-up coverage. Even the media on the island did not give him many headlines.

Warner Music had to spend money to buy manuscripts.

This is another large expense...

Distressed.

On June 13, Pan Weibo came to Beijing alone to attend Zhang Liangying's celebration banquet. He walked the red carpet with Jay Chou, Zhang Yimou, and Gong Li, finally making headlines on Sina.

[Wilber Pan postponed his new album launch to support Jane Zhang's celebration party! He even squeezed onto the red carpet with the cast and crew of "Curse of the Golden Flower" who came to congratulate him. Netizens commented: "Wilber Pan is a master of riding on Zhang's coattails!"]

……

Beijing Hotel.

A magnificent stage was set up overnight yesterday.

Zhang Liangying stood on the stage in a black haute couture evening gown, surrounded by spotlights, looking radiant and dazzling, as if she were attending a grand concert.

Shen Qing, Song Ke, and Zhang Lu stood on either side of her.

At this moment, Jane Zhang, like a princess surrounded by stars, proudly announced to everyone present tonight: My musical era has arrived!
Tonight is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese music.

Perhaps many years from now, there will never be another moment of such glory. This is not just Zhang Liangying's glory, but also belongs to all singers in mainland China.

She was the first to defeat musicians from Hong Kong and Taiwan, standing at the pinnacle of album sales in the Chinese music scene.

All musicians in mainland China are proud of this!
In the future, when they attend events with Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians and talk about album sales, they will unconsciously straighten their backs a bit more.

For this reason, Taihe Wheatfield extended invitations to all the musicians for tonight's celebration banquet, and more than 300 musicians from all walks of life attended, making it the largest event in the history of mainland China.

Taihe Wheatfield wants to tell the mainland Chinese music scene: From now on, the number one spot belongs to our alliance of 'Taihe Wheatfield + Qingying Studio', who dares to disagree!?

In fact, such a grand celebration is a clear message to all singers: if you want to switch to my company, sign up as soon as possible! The first ten will have the opportunity to receive guidance from Shen Qing, and the first three can even commission songs!
Which singer wouldn't be tempted!
Almost all the singers who had collaborated with or were associated with Taihe Wheatfield attended the event.

Especially those "niche singers" who have been stuck in the second tier for several years, they are eager to break through their limitations and improve like Jane Zhang.

……

Ballroom.

Dozens of tables were packed full of people: record company owners, behind-the-scenes producers, music academy professors, veteran artists, music critics—nothing particularly noteworthy…

Those singers and actors received extra attention from the media.

Zhang Dahuzi, Huang Xiaoming, Han Hong, Sun Nan, Xu Wei, Na Ying, Qi Qin, Cui Jian, Huang Zheng, Pu Shu, Sha Baoliang, Phoenix Legend... and Gao Yuanyuan!

Each one is more famous than the last.

The people sitting at the front row banquet tables were all familiar to the audience.

Sina, Sohu, Beijing Daily, Entertainment Star World, China National Radio, Beijing TV, and many other media outlets are interviewing them with cameras and microphones.

The most attention-grabbing table was that of Chow Yun-fat, Jay Chou, Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, and Liu Ye, who belonged to the cast and crew of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Zhang Yimou also wants to capitalize on this wave of popularity.

After all, "Curse of the Golden Flower" only received significant attention when filming began, and it hasn't made headlines for a long time now, which must be making Zhang Yimou anxious.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Jaylen was celebrating Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying's success, he called Song Ke and said he wanted to come and celebrate with him too!
Song Ke certainly wouldn't refuse.

The entertainment industry is a place where you give me face and I give you face; everyone is happy to do things that add to the glory.

During a previous red carpet appearance, the media asked Zhang Yimou, "Director Zhang, it's said that you're celebrating Zhang Liangying's success this time because you want to invite her to sing the theme song for 'Curse of the Golden Flower'?"

Zhang Yimou first smiled, then his brows furrowed, and he said seriously:

"Yes, that's right!"

“I really like Liangying’s songs. I listened to her new album repeatedly. There are 10 new songs plus 3 songs that she sang in the competition. I listened to them from beginning to end without pausing.”

"I was stunned after listening to them! My God, how can there be such beautiful songs? Every single one is a masterpiece. I was almost certain at that moment that this was the sound I was looking for!"

“I couldn’t wait, so I immediately called Jay (laughs), because Jay is quite familiar with Shen Qing and Liang Ying, so I called him.”

“At three in the morning, I told Jay: Shen Qing should write our theme song, and you and Liang Ying should sing it together. It will definitely have an unexpected effect!”

"Jay was also stunned at the time. He said: Wow, this suggestion is great! A male-female duet sounds pretty cool. I'll contact Shen Qing tomorrow to ask for a song."

"I said yes, we must make an appointment in advance to give Shen Qing enough space to create."

"..."

……

on the stage.

Zhang Liangying and Shen Qing, among others, spoke one after another. They first thanked the friends present and then recounted the pleasant process of creating the album.

Fellow music producers: Bro, stop talking, stop talking!
Singer: I envy the beautiful scenery, but I am loyal to Shen Qing!

Although Liangying's singing skills are very strong, which of the singers present isn't a strong performer? They can still tell who's the best and worst.
now.

That concludes my speech.

During the Q&A session—

Beijing TV reporter: "Many media friends call Liang Ying a 'little queen,' Shen Qing, what do you think?"

Shen Qing: "This is a result that everyone agrees on, and I personally like it. It shows that Liangying's singing skills have not only been recognized by the audience, but also by her peers. This is an encouragement, and I hope Liangying will continue to work hard." Sina reporter: "Taiwanese and Hong Kong media said that you chose to release the album on May 12th to target Cai Yilin, so that Liangying could step on her to rise to the top. Shen Qing, as Liangying's manager, what is your response to this?"

Shen Qing: "As everyone knows, we first confirmed May 12th as the release date! Ms. Cai Yilin chose it later! This time, Ms. Cai Yilin's album sales are close to 2 million, setting a new personal record. She should be very happy. The idea of ​​stepping on her to rise to the top is pure tabloid nonsense."

NetEase reporter: "I saw Mr. Shen, the general manager of Sprite's marketing department, here tonight. Is Jane Zhang going to be the spokesperson for Sprite?"

Jane Zhang: "Thank you all for your concern. I am indeed in contact with Sprite. You will know the specific arrangements in a few days."

CNR Radio: "Director Zhang Yimou brought the cast and crew of 'Curse of the Golden Flower' to the banquet this time. I heard that he invited you to write the theme song for the movie. Can you tell us about the progress?"

Shen Qing: "I am very grateful for Director Zhang's appreciation. I have some inspiration so far, but I still need to go to the set to see for myself. This song should be released soon."

Entertainment Star World: "Phoenix Legends are here today, does that mean you've already started recording another theme song for 'My Hero'?"

Shen Qing: "It's coming soon. We'll be recording it soon and will announce it to the public at the appropriate time."

……

The celebration banquet lasted until 11 p.m., and many people didn't want to leave early because it was such an opportunity to meet big shots in the industry.

After seeing off wave after wave of guests, Shen Qing left Gao Yuanyuan standing alone by the marble pillar, so she walked over and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

Gao Yuanyuan brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "I'm waiting for you. I wanted to give you a fountain pen. I'm really sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night last time."

As she spoke, she took out a small black box with gold trim from her bag and handed it to Shen Qing. "This is a black fountain pen that I saw while I was filming and shopping in Hong Kong last month. I think it suits your musical talent perfectly. I hope I can write a song for you!"

Shen Qing asked in confusion, "A pen?"

She nodded eagerly, "Mmm!"

You would only offer your penis to a man you like, no... maybe a pen?
Yuanyuan, what are you doing?!

Don't you know about my relationship with Liangying? You don't simply think that Liangying is a singer I, Shen Qing, mentored, do you?
Uh……

That seems like a valid point.

Because Shen Qing has always maintained this public stance: "Liangying and I are not in a romantic relationship; you could say we are a talented horse and its discerning owner."

Of course, outsiders didn't believe it.

Many of Liang's fans, as well as Chen Liang who is about to start working there, believe that Shen Qing and Liang Ying are a couple.

do not care……

It's just a free pen, so having an extra pen won't make a big difference; it just uses up a little more ink.

……

Shortly after.

Yuanyuan waved goodbye, got into her car, and drove away.

Shen Qing also came to Zhang Liangying and Na Ying's side. Na Ying had been very close to Liangying tonight, and kept calling her "little sister" affectionately.

"Xiaoying, you can talk to Sister Na about any problems you encounter in the future. I can't guarantee anything else, but in Beijing or Northeast China, your Sister Na will find a way to help you sort things out."

"Haha, Shen Qing is here. Oh my, I'm so envious of Liangying. She has such a talented and handsome guy like you behind her."

"Shen Qing, tell Sister Na, how did you write your song? Sister Na isn't very educated, but I admire you cultured people."

"What? You only graduated from high school?! That still makes you more educated than me, I only graduated from elementary school..."

"I won't bother you tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day. Please be sure to come. I'll also introduce you to some of my good friends."

Sure enough, after becoming famous, I only met good people.

Shen Qing and Liang Ying smiled at each other, held hands and walked to the parking lot, then drove back to their 120-square-meter apartment.

The two had a one-on-one encounter in the bathroom, then sat on the beanbag chair on the balcony, enjoying the night view outside. Their mood at that moment was completely different from before.

Having money is awesome!
If the album's sales reach 350 million copies by the end of the year as predicted, it will become second only to Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance" (400 million copies).

The revenue from an album is typically split as follows: distributors take 30%, record companies take over 37%, value-added tax is 8%, and the remaining less than 25% is split between the songwriters and the singer.

However, Shen Qing established her own studio and adopted a collaborative model to release albums, thus eliminating the need for a record company.

Therefore, after deducting the 30% share from the channel provider and the 20% share from the partner (Taihe Wheatfield), Qingying Studio can actually receive about 50% of the revenue.

At 60 yuan per album, 3.5 million albums would earn you a small goal.

Even after deducting taxes and production costs, the revenue can still reach 9000 million.

Singers these days definitely earn more than actors.

Those actors, they must work themselves to the bone for half a year to earn a few hundred thousand, right?

Moreover, this is just the money from physical album sales; the subsequent revenue will be much greater, such as ringtones, royalties, endorsement fees, appearance fees, and concerts, with income flowing in continuously!
If this were in my previous life, how many haircuts would I have to do to earn this much?

I've never seen so much money before...

Shen Qing instantly felt his back straighten up. He pinched Liang Ying's cheek and laughed, "My darling, you're so good at making money."

Zhang Liangying smiled sweetly and said, "It's all because of the amazing songs you wrote, Commander. Even if I didn't sing them, anyone else could earn just as much."

Shen Qing: "I like someone like you who is good at talking and obedient!"

……

Once the album revenue sharing is deposited into his account, Shen Qing can leverage his 'capital + talent' to tear away the fig leaf of the entertainment industry and see what it's really like inside.
