Entertainment from Divorce

Beijing, General Administration of Culture.

Inside the top-floor conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and serious, with everyone present listening attentively to the leader's speech.

In the center of the main seat, Ye Wen, director of the General Administration of Culture, was arranging work for this week.

The General Administration of Culture and Art is the highest department in China that manages the film, television, culture and entertainment industries. It can be said that all artists, stars and product publications in China are involved in this department.

As the director, Ye Wen is naturally in a high position of power, and her every move in the conference room is full of the aura of a superior.

However, Ye Wen was under a lot of pressure. Many years ago, China's cultural industry was often impacted by foreign culture. Especially in the past few years, Japanese and Korean culture became popular among young people in China. They had gorgeous long hair in the style of "Shamatte", and there were more and more sissy people in their daily style.

As for film and television works, almost all those shown in domestic theaters are foreign blockbusters, and local products have no competitiveness at all.

The situation has been good in the past two years, and the domestic entertainment industry has gradually begun to prosper. Several blockbuster works have been launched, represented by Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue of Brilliant Entertainment Company, which has gradually improved the situation of local entertainment.

Ten minutes later, the meeting was over and Ye Wen came out with her notebook. After the meeting, she had to go back to the office to handle official business.

After returning to the office, Ye Wen called the secretary in and said:

"Xiao Wang, go sort out some of the recent inquiries and give them to me."

"be quick!"

The secretary agreed, then walked to the secretariat and began to instruct his colleagues to sort things out quickly, as the director's instructions could not be delayed.

It is unrealistic for Xiao Wang to sort out all these consultations in a short period of time by himself. In addition, as the secretary of Director Ye Wen, Xiao Wang also has a high status in the entire General Administration of Culture. He is the director of the secretariat and is in charge of the work of the entire department.

In the director's office, Ye Wen was concentrating on handling official business. With the improvement of the domestic entertainment industry, the wrinkles on Ye Wen's face became less and her complexion became better.

Not long after, Secretary Xiao Wang pushed the door open and walked in, handing the sorted recent information to Ye Wen.

Ye Wen stopped the work at hand and looked through the information. As the director in charge of the entertainment industry, she must know some information about the domestic entertainment industry.

After watching the first few, most of them were about what new movies were recently released in China, what concerts that celebrity held, etc.

Ye Wen continued to scroll down and saw the news that Tan Yue released a new album. She suddenly became curious. She thought to herself, isn’t Tan Yue a movie director? Why is he releasing a new album? Has Tan Yue also crossed over?

With this question in mind, Ye Wen continued to read on. When she saw that the album sold nearly 200,000 copies on the first day of its release, her face was filled with disbelief.

Because there are also stars in the film and television industry who cross over to become singers and release albums. This is very common and not surprising.

But the album sold nearly 200,000 copies on its first release, which is a bit incredible, because in China, even a top music star like Zhang Wenhua only sells this number.

Although Tan Yue has great fame and influence, that was all accumulated in the film and television industry. He is just a newcomer in the music industry.

Suddenly, Ye Wen became more interested in this matter. She called her secretary in and asked him to get a copy of Tan Yue's new album and to pay special attention to the developments of Tan Yue's new album in the near future.

…………

Beijing, Bright Entertainment Company.

On the top floor, in the vice president's office, Tan Yue had just sat down at his desk.

It has been a month since the album was released. During this month, Tan Yue has become more cautious when going to and from get off work every day.

Since the release of the album, Tan Yue's popularity in China has increased. Crazy fans have found out Tan Yue's license plate number. On the way to and from get off work every day, many fans block Tan Yue's car to ask for autographs, which has caused great trouble to Tan Yue's work and life.

Tan Yue simply bought another car, changed the license plate number, and wrapped himself more tightly when going out. Only then did he finally calm down.

But in this hot summer of August and September, I am almost getting prickly heat all over my body.

Chen Ye pushed the door open and walked in. He brought in the documents to be processed this morning and placed them on Tan Yue's desk. He then brought Tan Yue a cup of iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat.

Tan Yue took a sip and found the drink cool and refreshing, which made him feel relaxed both physically and mentally. Then he started to work.

Two hours later, when Tan Yue finished processing the documents and wanted to go to the balcony to rest, Chen Ye pushed the door open and walked in, saying:

"Mr. Tan, Director Wu is here to report to you."

  Seeing this, Tan Yue, who wanted to go to the balcony to rest, had to stop and said:

"Well, let him in."

Then he walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for Mr. Wu. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be here to report on the sales of the album this month.

Not long after, Engineer Wu pushed the door open and walked in. He said respectfully, "Mr. Tan," and then sat down on the sofa at Tan Yue's gesture.

  Before Tan Yue asked, Engineer Wu spoke first:

"Mr. Tan, I'm here to report on the album's sales this month. From August 23rd to now, Morning Star has sold a total of 5,360,000 copies, firmly occupying the first place in the album sales chart for the same period!"

Tan Yue was very happy to hear this data. He was very happy to have this data for his first music album. After all, he was not a professional singer. He was just a newcomer in the music scene. In terms of seniority, he was still a newcomer in the music scene.

Tan Yue is very satisfied with this achievement, but this is only his first step into the music industry, and there will be greater challenges waiting for him in the future.

Moreover, the popularity of the album will slowly decline after about a month, which means that the album sales will drop a lot in the following month.

But this is not a big problem. After all, Tan Yue is already very satisfied with the album sales in the first month.

With Tan Yue's permission, the album sales data was released around noon.

During lunch, many employees in the company cafeteria were discussing this topic.

"Oh my god, did you know that Mr. Tan's album has sold over five million copies, ranking first in the sales charts during the same period!"

"Of course. Mr. Tan sings so well. I think five million copies is not enough!"

"It's amazing. Just after releasing an album, the data is like this. How great will Mr. Tan be in the music industry in the future!"

  3.

News reports, first month sales.

…………

In the afternoon, after being authorized by Brilliant Entertainment, major media, social networking platforms and short video platforms rushed to report that Tan Yue's album's first month sales data was 5.63 million copies. This immediately caused a sensation among netizens, after all, this data was too explosive! You know, Zhang Wenhua's most popular album sold only more than 5 million copies in the first month two years ago.

  As soon as Morning Star's album came out, it immediately surpassed a number of veteran stars in the music scene, which makes people sigh, is this the power of genius!

On Weibo, netizens were having a heated discussion about Tan Yue's first month album sales.

Because this data is too unbelievable, just over 5 million albums sold? How can others survive with this?

"Oh my god, more than 5.6 million! This, this, this"

"I have listened carefully to every single by Teacher Tan Yue. They are all heavenly sounds! I am not surprised to achieve this result."

In addition, many people have questioned this data. There is no way around it. The data is too dazzling and there will always be people who don't believe it.

"This data can't be fake, how is it possible? How can a new artist sell more than 5 million copies in a month? This can't be a gimmick."

However, once this statement was released, it was drowned out by greetings from netizens.

"Those who say it's fake, have you ever been to the scene to take pictures of the team? There weren't even this many people there when Zhang Wenhua released his album."

"Yes, that's right. I bought five tickets by myself. How can you say it's fake?"

"What? No wonder I didn't get one. It turns out you bought five by yourself."

In the music scene, many singers expressed their opinions after seeing this data. Some expressed admiration, some envy, and some jealousy.

"After listening to Teacher Tan Yue's songs, I feel that the songs I sang before are no longer up to par."

"I just crossed over and sold over 5 million copies. It's so exciting. I can't even add up all my sales over the years. I've decided to quit the music industry from now on."

"Haha, it's just a trick, not presentable."

Beijing,

Outside a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, there are red walls and green tiles, and imported sycamore trees planted all around. Not far away is a neatly trimmed lawn, and next to it is a private golf course.

The furniture and decorations in the courtyard are full of classical Chinese style. As you enter the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is the grape trellis, which forms a natural shade in this hot summer.

There are flowers and plants on the west side of the yard, and a small basketball court on the east side.

There is a bluestone table next to the basketball court. A young man is holding a mobile phone and singing along with the sound on it. If you listen carefully, you will find that the song is very familiar. It is a song from Tan Yue's album.

The famous actor Fan Shan was reading a book in the study room of the courtyard. The title of the book was "Actor's Skills". After reading for a while, he felt that some of the content in the book made a lot of sense and couldn't help but teach it himself.

However, when Fan Shan was completely absorbed in it, he was awakened by a voice in the yard.

It turned out to be Fan Shan’s grandson, the young man singing by the stone table, singing Tan Yue’s "Glorious Years" and sang the climax.

Fan Shan felt very disappointed. He would not allow anyone to disturb him when he was honing his acting skills, not even his own grandson.

Fan Shan walked into the yard with an angry look on his face, patted the young man on the head, and said:

"What are you doing?"

"Don't you know how to keep your voice down?"

The boy was singing happily when he was patted. He turned around and saw that it was his grandfather who always loved him. He said aggrievedly:

"Grandpa, I'm singing."

"Everyone in my school is singing this song. I want to sing it too. I borrowed a Tan Yue album from a classmate and want to practice it at home."

Fan Shan, who was originally angry, immediately calmed down when he heard that it was Tan Yue's album. He had collaborated with Tan Yue many times, especially on the movie "The Godfather", and was deeply impressed by Tan Yue's talent.

But as far as he knew, Tan Yue was a movie director, so how come he was also so talented in singing? From the few lines sung by his grandson just now, Fan Shan felt that this song was extraordinary.

"It's okay, just keep singing."

Fan Shan touched his grandson's head, then turned and walked into the study.

  The grandson was left standing there with a confused look on his face, wondering, what happened to grandpa today?

Fan Shan turned on his computer and found the electronic version of Tan Yue's album online. After buying one and listening to a few songs, he was deeply shocked. This was no less than that of a first-line singer. Although the words were easy to understand, they made it easy for people to be immersed in the scene when accompanied by music.

Especially the song "Ten Years", which reminded Fan Shan of the beautiful girl he met when he was supporting the border. They knew each other, fell in love, and later broke up for various reasons and became friends afterwards.

Fan Shan's eyes became moist unconsciously.

After a long time, Fan Shan sent this album to his best friend in the entertainment industry, Ma Guoliang, and then called Ma Guoliang.

  After a while, the call was connected. Before Ma Guoliang could speak, Fan Shan said anxiously:

"Xiao Ma, please listen to this album. It's the new music album released by Director Tan Yue."

On the other end of the phone, the man who was working out in the gym didn't notice the message Fan Shan sent him, but he immediately picked up the phone when he heard Fan Shan's call.

After listening to Fan Shan, Ma Guoliang quickly checked the message and found that it was indeed Tan Yue’s album, but he had already heard it.

So he replied to Fan Shan:

"Uncle Fan, I've listened to this album. Every song in it is great. I really admire Mr. Tan's abilities."

In the music forum, many people are also discussing the topic of the first month sales of Morning Star album. However, most people have heard the Morning Star album and are quite impressed with the songs in it. They are also very impressed that Tan Yue can achieve such data by crossing over to the music scene.

After all, no matter where you are or what industry you are in, the strong will always be the king. When your strength reaches this level, any doubts will become so ridiculous.

  At this time, the latest news in the comment section, Chang Lei, a well-known musician, a first-line singer in the Chinese music scene, and known as the evergreen of folk music, commented in the comment section:

"I originally thought that my folk songs were already unique, but after listening to Teacher Tan Yue's "Chengdu", I admired her from the bottom of my heart. None of my songs can express the feelings and love for a place so deeply like this song, and it can gain such popularity!"
