Chapter 248, The New Generation No. 1 Sister of Chinese Music [Seeking monthly tickets, seeking subs
At this time, Shen Lang was sitting at his desk, looking at the work summary report and financial statements of Jingtao Music and Julang Film and Television in the first half of the year, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
The statistical report shows the company’s positive efforts and achievements in business management. Whether it is Jingtao Music or Julang Film and Television, the development momentum of both sides is very good, presenting a booming picture.
However, since the number of singers under Jingtao Music is greater than the number of actors under Julang Film and Television, the income of Jingtao Music is much higher than that of Julang Film and Television.
Of course, the reason for this income gap, in addition to the difference in the number of artists, there is another important factor, that is, at this stage, the income brought by film and television dramas is much less than that brought by music works. This situation will only gradually change after 2008.
Shen Lang is not in a hurry about this. Next year, his focus will shift to film and television, whether it is investment projects or works in which he personally participates, whether they are for the domestic market or for the foreign market. In total, there are more than a dozen film and television dramas to be shot one after another. The preparation and promotion of these projects are enough to fill the three years of 2006, 2007 and 2008.
This is only the first stage of the entire film and television layout. Its main purpose is to enhance the reputation of Julang Film and Television, so that it can gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry and have a higher degree of popularity and influence.
As for making money, that is a matter of the second phase, the blockbusters after 2008 that grossed billions of dollars worldwide.
Now that Shen didn’t have to worry much about his two companies, he felt much more relaxed. So, he turned his attention to the major companies in which he had invested.
After some inspection, we found that the overall conditions of these companies are quite good. They have all smoothly overcome the crises they faced before. All work is being carried out in an orderly manner, showing a good development trend.
However, several of these companies have already started a new round of financing, which made Shen Lang ponder whether he should continue to invest money in them.
If you don’t invest money, your shares will be diluted accordingly, and then the weight of your voice in these companies, the profits you can get, etc. will be affected.
After weighing the pros and cons, I finally decided to invest some more money in it. After all, now is not the right time to cash out.
Actually, Shen Lang can make quite a lot of money every year, but in reality, he doesn’t save much money. Basically, all the money is spent by him and invested in various projects, under the euphemism of “investing in the future.”
After all, you are a time traveler. You cannot be satisfied with the current gains. You must have a long-term vision and grand planning, and through continuous investment and layout, you can reap greater returns in the future.
Therefore, even though most of the funds have been invested now, he still thinks it is worth it.
Another thing is that Shen Lang is a scumbag. If he doesn’t make more money, how will he have enough to share in the future?
Speaking of this, I had just spent a few days sweetly with Gao Yuanyuan, and now he’s with Stefanie Sun.
However, it wasn’t that he was hungry, but it was just the turn of the tour to move to the North Station.
The afternoon always brings a special kind of laziness and leisure, and the sun is hot and bright. In such weather, the swimming pool is undoubtedly a great paradise for summer vacation.
Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun lay leisurely on the hammocks by the swimming pool under the parasol. It was warm but not unbearably hot, as if every inch of their skin was enjoying this perfect comfort.
In their ears is the whisper of the breeze blowing through the leaves, in front of them is the sparkling water and the blue sky and white clouds complementing each other. At this moment, time seems to slow down, allowing them to forget the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy to the fullest this pleasant time that belongs only to them.
“By the way, do you know the sales of your new album?” Shen Lang turned his head slightly, looked at Stefanie Sun beside him, and asked casually.
“No.” Stefanie Sun shook her head and said, “After five book signings, I went to shoot three commercials. I didn’t get back until the day before yesterday.”
“Then I can ‘report’ to you.” Shen Lang raised his lips slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, “When I looked at the company’s financial statements yesterday, I saw that the sales in Asia in half a month have exceeded 80 copies, and the total sales are heading for 200 million copies. With this calculation, the sales of your albums since your debut have never been less than 100 million copies. You are definitely the new generation of the Chinese music scene.”
“Dark Sky” 150 million copies; “Meeting” 230 million copies;
“The Happiness I Want” 130 million copies;
“Silence” 250 million copies;
Leave: 210 million copies;
Start, 110 million;
“Need Someone to Accompany Me” sold 180 million copies.
Excluding the new album “I Remember”, the cumulative sales of Stefanie Sun’s personal records have reached 1260 million copies.
You should know that this achievement was achieved in just four years, and she was named the best-selling female singer of the year in Formosa Province every year.
Therefore, the title of “the new generation No. 1 female singer in the Chinese music scene” is well deserved.
“It’s all because of your songs, otherwise we wouldn’t have sold so many.” Stefanie Sun looked at Shen Lang with a sincere and grateful smile on her face, attributing all the credit to him.
There is indeed this reason. Among the albums she released, “The Happiness I Want” and “Start” did not choose Shen Lang’s songs as the title songs. As a result, the sales of these two albums just exceeded one million copies. The other albums used Shen Lang’s songs as the title songs, and their sales were much higher than the first two.
However, although the song has a certain influence, the main reason is that Stefanie Sun’s own strength is strong enough.
After all, songs and singers complement each other. No matter how good the song is, if the singer does not have solid singing skills, unique personal charm and strong stage performance, it will not be liked by everyone.
“So, in the second half of this year, do you want to take a break or release another album?” Shen Lang looked at Stefanie Sun with concern in his eyes. She has been very busy this year, with book signings, commercial shoots, and various performances. It was really hard, so he wanted to hear what her plans were.
“Hmm…” Sun Yanzi thought for a moment and said, “Take a break. One album a year is enough.”
Being popular has never been what she wanted, not in the past and not in the future.
She felt that Shen Lang was busy enough with touring this year, and she would not add to the burden.
She also needs some time to relax and adjust her state. Only by combining work and rest can she go long-term.
“How about you be my guest at three concerts in Europe next month, and then we can play there for a few days.” Shen Lang sat up slightly, with a doting smile in his eyes.
“Okay.” When Stefanie Sun heard this, a happy smile immediately broke out on her face and she agreed without hesitation.
