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

Chapter 92: How come you're so fast, man?
Are Cai Yilin and Fan Weiqi also releasing albums in May?

I've met a tough guy.

Cai Yilin is about to release her eighth solo album, "Dancing Girl". This CD is extremely famous, and I believe many people have heard the title track "Dancing Girl".

Especially the line "Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes," it's so catchy.

This CD sold 26 copies in Taiwan, earning double platinum status, 150 million copies in mainland China, and nearly 300 million copies across Asia.

Despite such outstanding achievements, he failed to win any awards at the Golden Melody Awards, not even receiving a nomination.

Slightly better than her is Jay Chou's "November's Chopin," released last year, which was nominated for a Best Lyricist Award (Vincent Fang/"Hair Like Snow"), but he did not win.

No wonder Jay Chou criticized the Golden Melody Awards back then!
Fan Weiqi's album "Our Anniversary" is also very good.

Among them, "One Like Summer, One Like Autumn", "Our Anniversary", "Half of Me" and "Black and White" are all pretty good songs.

However, her popularity cannot compare to that of Cai Yilin, and her sales are far behind.

Zhang Liangying's real rival is Cai Yilin.

If Zhang Liangying can beat this singer-dancer in sales this time, then she can declare herself a winner and firmly establish herself in the music scene.

……

In the following week, the pre-release hit "My Song" continued to rise in the rankings, surpassing "Poisonous Perfume" to temporarily take fourth place on the new song chart.

This song is now available in many karaoke bars.
Some pirates even brazenly list "You Exist in My Song" as the first track on their CDs; they're really not afraid of lawyers' letters...

Taihe Wheatfield also wanted to send its legal department to file a lawsuit, but when they investigated, they found that those CDs did not have a production company at all, and they did not know which small workshops they came from.

They don't even know who to sue!
Meanwhile, Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying worked hard for several days to record three main songs: "The One I Miss," "Dream It Possible," and "Little Happiness."

We can breathe a sigh of relief for now.

As for the remaining six songs, just record two each week.

In this era, many singers only focus on the title track when releasing an album, and they don't care much about the rest. They just need to make up the number of titles.

But Shen Qing couldn't do it...

After all, he's a reborn person, and he has too many good songs in his mind. Forcing him to find six trashy songs to fill the quota is actually harder than writing a hit song.

Who bothers to memorize obscure songs? Any song that gets remembered is basically popular... at the very least, it has a few lines of lyrics or a catchy melody.

These six songs are "Radiance" (Zhang Liangying), "Still Want to Be Happy" (Hebe Tien), "Chinese" (SHE), "Song of Wonderful Abilities" (Chen Li), "Thinking of You at 00:01" and "If Love Continues".

Recording should be completed by the end of April.

The first four songs fit the album's theme well, all having an uplifting and positive style.

The last two songs are love songs, which were included in Zhang Liangying's first two albums. In particular, "If Love Continues" was quite popular, and Shen Qing couldn't bear to throw them away, so she put them in.

In addition, the previously produced compilation only included ten songs, with "Warm," "Moonlight," and "Ten Thousand Frontiers" remaining.

Any one of these three songs could be the title track of an album, but since they were performed on the final stage, pirated copies were already rampant, so Shen Qing included them on the back of the first CD.

No extra charge!
This is another perk for the fans.

When the album is released, fans who have bought it will be overwhelmed with happiness. "Isn't Zhang Liangying amazing? She said there were 10 songs, but she crammed in 13! Love you!!"

……

Besides recording songs, the focus of my work for the next period of time will be on promoting the album and generating buzz!
After all, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

Currently, shows like "My Hero," "Super Boy," and "Absolute Singing" are extremely popular, and Shen Qing only needs to take advantage of the momentum from participating in "My Hero."

By occasionally pulling off some outrageous moves, you can consistently grab headlines!

In addition, the 4th Annual Music Billboard Awards Ceremony, hosted by Enlight Media in early April 2006, which is next month, will also be an excellent opportunity for publicity.

This awards ceremony was a star-studded event, with almost all of China's top singers, such as Wang Feng, Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi, Sun Nan, Yu Quan, and Yu Chenqing, in attendance, and it was also broadcast live on television.

It has a significant influence.

Zhang Liangying and Shen Qing were both nominated for several awards for the 13 songs they released last year.

If Zhang Liangying wins the 'Best Newcomer Award' or the 'Most Popular Female Singer Award' in Mainland China, and Shen Qing wins the Best Producer Award... it will definitely cause a sensation among fans.

At that point, it will be hard not to make headlines.

But winning this award is not easy, after all, the competition is fierce, and it depends on the judges' comprehensive consideration and the enthusiasm of the fans' votes.

……

end of June.

The preliminary rounds of the "Go! Good Boys" competition in Wuhan have concluded.

The preliminary rounds will be recorded soon, and the videos will be broadcast on Dragon TV. The moment of head-to-head competition with Hunan TV has begun.

Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying are about to head to Wuhan, and the other judge is Xiao Yaxuan.

Before leaving.

Liu Chuntai, the deputy director of the station, convened a meeting with director Li Jing, planner Long Danni, host Cao Kefan, and others. Shen Qing and Liang Ying were also invited to attend.

At the meeting, Liu Chunshan emphasized the theme song of "Go! Good Boys". He said, "The audition in Wuhan was well organized, but I always felt that something was missing and there was nothing memorable about it."

Liu Chunshan looked around, but no one spoke. He continued, "Super Girl and Happy Boy have theme songs called 'Sing If You Want,' which are very popular and many people like to listen to them, including myself. But we Good Boys don't have a song like that..."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying.

Good guy!
So that's why they called us both today?
Liu Chunshan: "Xiao Shen, writing a popular theme song shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Shen Qing: "..."

Liu Chunshan: "Mango TV is in a real mess right now because of us. The ratings for the first recorded episode didn't meet our expectations. If we were to use a theme song comparable to 'You Exist in My Song,' the popularity of 'My Hero' would definitely surpass that of 'Super Boy'..."

Shen Qing: "..."

That's true, but you need to show some sincerity!

Copying songs is also a form of labor!
Liu Chunshan: "By the way, songwriting requires inspiration! How about I have our station's new Fudan University beauty intern accompany you to Shanghai to look for inspiration?"

Shen Qing laughed, "Oh? That's so embarrassing..."

Liu Chunshan: "Don't like it? Then forget it... It's quite rare to see a handsome young man like you who doesn't like pretty girls. Not bad, no wonder you're a musical prodigy! I'll have Long Danni keep you company, she's more experienced."

Shen Qing: "..."

Old Deng, you son of a bitch, this is outrageous!

……

Shen Qing had heard of Long Danni in his previous life. She was the creator of "Super Boy", "Go Fighting! Boys" and "The Coming One", and even "Super Girl" borrowed her original idea.

But after the Super Girl competition became a hit in 2005, she not only didn't get any credit, but was instead transferred to Hunan TV's least popular economic channel to sit on the sidelines.

I can't stand it any longer.

Long Danni directly led her team to switch to Dragon TV and personally created "Go Fighting! Boys". It was broadcast at the same time as "Super Girl" in 2006. "Go Fighting! Boys" won the ratings by a wide margin, while the popularity of "Super Girl" on Hunan TV plummeted.

So the deputy director personally intervened, playing the emotional card and promising a series of benefits, before finally getting Long Danni back to organize the 2007 "Super Boy" competition.

This woman is incredibly powerful, capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of her wrist, making all the male contestants unable to resist her charm.

……

At this moment, Long Danni felt overwhelmed after hearing Liu Chunshan's arrangement. Writing a theme song seemed simple, but creating a hit song would be extremely difficult.

Long Danni would rather produce a male-centric drama than a theme song.

But the task just happened to fall into place.

Liu Chunshan said with a smile, "Don't feel pressured. Go for it and try your best to get it done before the finals. There's plenty of time."

Shen Qing: "Director Liu, I have a favor to ask."

Liu Chunshan: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Shen Qing: "I want to understand this competition in depth, only in this way can I find inspiration to create the theme song, but my current role is only that of a judge and vocal consultant, which makes it inconvenient to carry out my work in many situations."

Liu Chunshan: "Haha, that's it? Then you can go to the planning team and work with Long Danni. With this identity, it will be very convenient for you to communicate with any department of the 'Good Man' team."

The planner is the soul of "My Hero," wielding considerable power and able to modify the competition format at any time, making it a truly desirable position.

Shen Qing, who was always thick-skinned, raised the corner of his mouth and continued to ask, "Director Liu, what is your identity? I won't be able to answer if others ask."

Liu Chunshan: "Hey, you little rascal..."

……

Wuhan.

The preliminary selection recording for the "Good Man" competition is about to begin.

The related video will be broadcast on Dragon TV on Saturday night.

Zhang Liangying, Shen Qing, Long Danni, and Li Jing are on a plane to Wuhan. Another judge, Xiao Yaxuan, has also boarded the plane from Taiwan.

Long Danni said with a wry smile, "Planner Shen, we're relying entirely on you for this theme song. I can listen to music, but creating it is too much for me."

Shen Qing's current identity is a member of the planning team for "Good Man", nominally the third planner. The first is of course Long Danni, and the second is Long Danni's assistant.

Shen Qing turned her gaze away from the window, her expression complicated. She closed her eyes and said, "Sister Long, don't speak. I think I've had an inspiration."

Sitting on Shen Qing's other side, Zhang Liangying looked over in surprise, and Long Danni was also overjoyed. "How come your man is so fast..."

The two women didn't dare disturb Shen Qing at all. Like little chicks, they sat obediently on either side, quietly waiting for the man in the middle to finish.

About 5 minutes later.

Shen Qing said to Long Danni, "Get me some paper."

Long Danni: "..."

Shen Qing: "Write a song!"

Without wasting a moment, Long Danni immediately asked the flight attendant for tissues.
