Chapter 663 Two Singers with Sales of Tens of Millions

The awards ceremony held after each Haiyun Music Festival has now become the most authoritative rock music award in China.

Awards such as albums have also been added.

Since last year, Liaoning TV has been broadcasting the awards ceremony live, and this year the scale of live broadcasts has expanded to five stations.

Five satellite TV stations in Liaoning, Jilin, Beijing, Tianjin, and Shandong broadcast the event live.

This is free advertising for both Haiyun Music Festival and Pingshan Film & Television, so naturally they want to make it look professional.

Therefore, this year's music festival awards ceremony was made more grand and was moved to the evening. After receiving their awards, the winning bands and individuals performed their winning works, and the TV stations that chose to broadcast the event live achieved very high viewership ratings.

The music festival officially ended after the awards ceremony.

Liang Liang, drenched in sweat, played a football match with several bands from Lianwan that hadn't yet left.

"I'm not playing anymore! You bastards are playing at a professional level now. It really hurts when the ball hits you. I'm not playing with you anymore."

Lianwan is a football city, and these guys probably play football together often. Their skill level is far beyond Liang Liang's reach.

"Mr. Liang! The national team will be heading to Japan and South Korea in a few days. We'd like to put on a concert to support and send them off. What do you think?"

This year marks the first time the national football team has qualified for the World Cup finals.

Lianwan, a football city, has three or four players selected for the national team.

It's not surprising that these people have this idea.

"What objection would I have to you if you want to hold a concert? If you think it's okay, then go ahead and organize it."

"Mr. Liang! Do you think our national team will be able to advance from the group stage in the World Cup?"

Liang Liang quickly reached out and felt the head of the person who asked the question: "You don't have a fever! Why would you ask such an unrealistic question?"

"You don't have high hopes for our national football team?"

"Our level is far behind that of other countries in the world. Our team should just be able to score one goal and get one point in the World Cup. We shouldn't have any unrealistic ideas."

"Your expectations are too low, aren't they?"

"Being low-key has its advantages. As a great man once said: 'Humility makes one progress,' being humble and low-key is a good thing."

After the football match, Liang Liang and Luo Lin took a car back to Lianwan, and then Liang Liang saw Luo Lin off at the airport.

The album "The First Snow of 2002" became an instant hit across the country, and after a full week on the market, it has already sold over 3 million copies.

At this sales rate, it shouldn't be a problem for this album to sell over ten million copies.

Even the rock bands in Taiwan who love football still held a concert, taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese national football team had made it to the World Cup for the first time.

The performance will be held at Lianwan Stadium.

People in Lianwan really bought into it; tickets priced between 15 and 30 yuan sold over 20,000 tickets.

The Lianwan Football Team was also invited to watch the performance.

Liang Liang felt obligated to show his support for this event, so he naturally went on stage for a guest performance.

After the performance, he also had a chat with the members of the Lianwan Football Team.

Haiyun Company also sponsors the Lianwan Football Team, and he is quite familiar with many of the team's leaders and players.

He interacted with almost all of the team members, except for the one who would later be called "Cannon," with whom he barely spoke, only offering a perfunctory greeting.

Although this person is considered the top star in the country, Liang Liang is not interested in him at all.

The reason is simple: more than a decade later, this guy became a public intellectual, and he looked down on him.

He was a beneficiary of the system, but later he kept finding fault with everything, which left Liang Liang speechless.

Liang Liang already knew the answer in his heart regarding the Chinese national football team's performance in the World Cup, so he didn't pay much attention to the team when the World Cup started.

On the contrary, he paid a lot of attention to the other participating teams, and also gave them special attention through people in the gaming industry in Hong Kong and Macau.

So, while the Chinese people were still lamenting that the national football team hadn't scored a single point or goal after the World Cup ended, he was already counting his money.

This World Cup brought him hundreds of millions of US dollars in revenue. This money entered the mainland through the Xianggang Company's account, allowing Liang Liang to pay off all the loans for his investments in cinemas and film studios, and still have a considerable surplus.

Life is so carefree when you're debt-free.

Last year's The Voice of China received thunderous applause, and this year's The Voice of China will naturally reach even greater heights.

After the World Cup ended, the second season of The Voice of China kicked off in the studio of the film and television city.

This year, advertising revenue for The Voice of China reached 300 million yuan, which made Liang Liang very satisfied.

This show must be made into the best show, and it can't ruin its reputation like Canxing did in the previous life.

The singers who debuted on The Voice of China last year have all achieved considerable success after a year of development.

Several of the more popular singers have already released albums, and they've achieved good sales.

The most representative examples are the singers signed by Haiyun Company, whose albums have sold between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of copies each.

Although the numbers aren't particularly impressive, it's enough to have established a firm foothold in the music industry.

This has led to a geometric increase in the number of singers participating in the auditions for The Voice of China this year.

The singers who made it to the finals were of a higher caliber than those from last year.

This year, the stakes for the four mentors have risen to 500,000.

The money isn't much for these mentors, but it greatly boosts their reputation.

There are some singers in China now who would like to clearly state that they are willing to become teachers on "The Voice of China" even without being paid.

This shows that the program has already achieved brand recognition.

With the boost from these brand-name programs, Pingshan Film and Television City has become the undisputed number one film and television city in China.

The film and television city management told Liang Liang that the city is expected to receive more than two million visitors and host about two hundred film crews this year, generating a profit of nearly 100 million yuan.

Liang Liang wasn't too concerned about how much profit the film studio could generate right now. The day when the film studio would make money was yet to come; for now, he just needed to avoid losing money.

He is currently concerned about the progress of The Voice of China and the sales of the two albums produced by his company.

Zhao Lunjie's album sales stopped at nine million in China, just three million short of ten million, which is a pity.

However, including sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, the album has sold over ten million copies.

Zhao Lunjie's name has become well-known throughout mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asian Chinese-speaking regions.

At Haiyun Company, achieving sales in the tens of millions is considered being a top-tier celebrity.

Looking at the domestic scene, almost all the singers whose album sales have reached tens of millions are now under Haiyun Company.

Blue Shark, Sea Waves, Xu Wei, Zhao Lunjie.

Next up is Dao Lang's "The First Snow of 2002," an album that will sell over ten million copies in mainland China by August.

He will become the fifth singer in Haiyun Company to achieve sales of over 10 million before September.
