Until the beginning of December, the popularity of the album "Chopin in November" remained high, and the album sales in the past month were officially released, totaling 24 million copies, with total sales of up to 700 million.
.
Even excluding the share of the platform and the optical company, Han Sen can still get 350 million before tax.
Even after tax, there are still 200 million.
This does not include the income from the copyrights of other works under Han Sen's name. Therefore, Han Sen is well-deserved to be listed as the number one person under the age of 30 on the Huhai Elite List.
There was half a month left before the Golden Deer Awards Ceremony, and at this time, Han Sen received the first joint rehearsal invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program team.
This rehearsal faced hundreds of artists and units across the country. The program audition review alone took a week. Because of Han Sen's wonderful performance in the Spring Festival Gala last year and the special approval relationship with the Spring Festival Gala director Ao Yan, Han Sen
I skipped the audition and went directly to the waiting list.
After this week's joint rehearsal time has passed, the Spring Festival Gala program team will determine the final list of selected programs.
Before that, Ao Yan also called Han Sen and communicated. She hoped that Han Sen could sing a Chinese style song on the Spring Festival Gala again this year, just like last year's "Blue and White Porcelain", so that these people could sing on New Year's Eve.
The song spread all over the world.
Of course, Han Sen immediately agreed to sing a song at the Spring Festival Gala, which lasted only five minutes. In addition, with Ao Yan's special approval, he was exempted from traveling back and forth for rehearsals. Such treatment, even the gods could not ask for.
Of course, Han Sen will not be pretentious. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is the world's largest stage and the most watched party program in the world.
Not only in China, but also in Southeast Asia and even throughout Asia and North America, China's Spring Festival Gala programs are very popular and attract attention. "Blue and White Porcelain", which appeared on the Spring Festival Gala last year, quickly spread all over the world after the program was exposed.
everywhere, making this song even more famous.
What's more worth mentioning is that because of "Blue and White Porcelain", Chinese porcelain has also become very popular in the past two years. At many overseas auctions, the price of blue and white porcelain is 20% to 30% higher than in previous years.
This reflects the influence of the Spring Festival Gala and even more the influence of Han Sen’s works.
"You have to carefully select the program to sing in the Spring Festival Gala this time."
Ao Yan thought for a while and gave her own advice on the phone: "Although I don't quite understand the content of the songs in your new album, it seems that young people these days like to listen to "Nunchaku" and "Dragon".
"Dragon Fist"? These two songs, just by their names, have a Chinese-style feel, but to be honest, the Spring Festival Gala is for all ages and all walks of life. "Dragon Fist" and "Nunchaku"
It’s too aggressive and not suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala.”
Han Sen hesitated to speak. He didn't quite agree with Director Ao's words. Moreover, in his previous life, the song "Dragon Fist" was also featured on the Spring Festival Gala.
Moreover, the lyrics of "Dragon Fist" are also closely related to the regional characteristics of Chinese civilization, and use the creation of Dragon Fist as a metaphor for the growing rise of the Chinese nation. It is a very good piece of Chinese martial arts style.
But obviously, Ao Yan doesn't like this song very much, including "Nunchaku".
Han Sen made a suggestion: "How about singing "Chrysanthemum Terrace"? Or I can sing "Thousands of Miles Away" with teacher Deng Zehai?"
Ao Yan was obviously quite familiar with Han Sen's works. After hearing this, she said: "These two songs are very good, but I think you have to come up with something different this year and promote some real Chinese culture, such as "Blue and White Porcelain"
"This song has made audiences across the country and even the world aware of blue and white porcelain and its value, and enhanced the international status of blue and white porcelain..."
"Director Ao, you think too highly of me. The increase in the value of blue and white porcelain has nothing to do with my songs." Han Sen said with a smile.
Ao Yan also laughed: "Do you believe these words?"
Han Sen said helplessly: "That's what you say, right? I now understand roughly what kind of program you want. I would like to ask what the theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala is?"
"Boost national morale." Ao Yan seemed to be beaming when she spoke: "This year our country's athletes have achieved gratifying results in the Olympics, winning global gold medals and ranking first in the double list of total medals.
With the morale of the people high, we should revitalize the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and let Chinese culture follow this trend and become famous all over the world..."
Han Sen thought for a while and said: "Director Ao, the two songs "Dragon Fist" and "Nunchaku" both have Chinese characteristics..."
"You cannot promote violence."
Ao Yan said seriously: "For the Chinese New Year, both fists and nunchucks are used. Our Spring Festival Gala is not "Chinese Martial Arts", so there is no need to fight and kill."
"Chinese Martial Arts" is a free-fighting sports program launched by Zhongyuan TV. It has many loyal fan groups and has greatly promoted Chinese martial arts and spread Chinese culture. However, it actually has no practical effect in promoting Chinese martial arts overseas.
Far less influential than Han Sen's song "Nunchaku".
At least when "Nunchuck" was released, the Chinese weapon nunchaku that appeared in the song was not only out of stock domestically, but also set off a wave of frantic buying abroad. This shows how popular Han Sen's work is.
This is something Ao Yan values of Han Sen very much.
Because Han Sen's own influence is already amazing enough.
"Songs that promote Chinese characteristics..."
Han Sen lowered his head and thought for a while, and soon had the answer, "Then I probably know what it is. Director Ao, I will make the song first, and I will go to the scene to discuss it with you in detail during the next rehearsal."
"New song?" Ao Yan was a little surprised, because what she just said was just a casual mention. If there is no other way, then the song "Dragon Fist" can be reluctantly included.
After all, although the lyrics of this song cannot be heard clearly, if you look at the lyrics, it will make every Chinese son and daughter excited. Even if it cannot be promoted to the outside world, it is definitely a great internal propaganda song, which is enough to raise awareness.
Boosted national morale.
Han Sen nodded and said: "It's a new song. It will take about a week to make. If you are not very busy recently, you can probably write it some time in advance."
"Your creative ability is a bit scary."
Ao Yan was a little surprised. Then she seemed to remember something and suddenly whispered: "Han Sen, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Say." Han Sen was startled and lowered his voice on the phone.
Ao Yan said: "The "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty" I filmed last year achieved good ratings. The theme song "Manjianghong" you wrote for me was very good, and it added a lot of help to "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty"
, I have completed another TV series this year, which is expected to be broadcast after the year. Time is running out, so I want to ask you for a favor..."
As soon as Han Sen heard Ao Yan's words, he knew what he was planning.
In fact, he is still a little reluctant. After all, the last song "Man Jiang Hong" is equivalent to being prostituted by Ao Yan, and his current worth is almost completely different from his worth a year ago. Back then, one song cost a lot of money.
One hundred thousand, now a song requires at least one zero.
However, Ao Yan had always been in love with him, and she invited him to attend the Spring Festival Gala twice in a row, and even made special arrangements for herself, so that Han Sen did not have to attend the irrelevant rehearsals before the Spring Festival Gala.
This alone is enough to reflect Han Sen's privilege.
After thinking about this, Han Sen did not hesitate any more. After all, some favors cannot be measured by money. He quickly agreed: "Okay, Director Ao, I will help you make it as soon as possible. You can make it later."
Send me the theme and story outline of the TV series, and I’ll try to get a feel for it.”
"That's great."
Ao Yan smiled and said, "I knew I was right about you. Han Sen, don't worry. If you need help in the future, just say it. Although I, Ao Yan, am not a senior figure in the film and television industry, I can still say something."
of."
Han Sen quickly said: "Director Ao is joking, I don't dare bother you so easily."
Ao Yan smiled and joked: "That's right. With your influence in this circle, others don't dare to embarrass you. Okay, I'll send "Ups and Downs" to your email later. I'll look for an opportunity later.
Let’s have a meal together and let me thank our Chinese superstar.”
Han Sen didn't even dare.
After hanging up the phone, it didn't take long for Han Sen to receive relevant clips and the entire script of the TV series titled "The Ups and Downs".
Han Sen was dumbfounded when he saw the nearly 100,000-word script. Fortunately, there was a synopsis of the script "The Ups and Downs" at the back, which prevented Han Sen from staying up late to read the script.
The story is told from the perspective of three generations of a family named Jiang in a provincial capital city in northern China. It depicts the ups and downs of life experienced by more than a dozen ordinary people in the past 50 years, and comprehensively displays the history of China in the past 50 years.
experienced tremendous social changes.
Han Sen briefly read some synopses of the story, then clicked on the relevant sample film of "The Ups and Downs" and watched the changes that three generations experienced from young to old.
Each protagonist in the story is a microcosm of all living beings of that era. Through the depiction of their growth and transformation in life, the historical situation of Chinese society in the past fifty years is shown through the small and large.
In the story, the protagonist's unremitting pursuit of love and the deep and restrained family relationship with his parents and children are all moving.
Life is inherently simple and ordinary, and the stories of ordinary people are often the most touching, because everyone can find their own shadow in their stories.
The story does not have bloody plots or thrilling plots, but only reality and vividness.
Han Sen never expected that a director who could produce an epic and ups and downs work like "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty" could also produce a work as smooth and delicate as "The Ups and Downs".
This is probably the strength of the famous director, who is eclectic.
It’s no wonder that he was re-elected as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive terms.
However, in Han Sen's opinion, the title of "Ups and Downs" is not profound enough.
Although the story is about the ups and downs of each character's life, from young to old, but in the context of the overall environment, Han Sen felt that another name might be more suitable for it——
"Human World"!
This kind of work is just like the mighty life flow of a river, writing about the majestic changes in the development of the country and the lives of ordinary people in the twists and turns of fifty years. The friendship between people shown in it is touching and worthy of mention.
It is said to be a visual and spiritual epic of contemporary China.
And a song that fits this work is also called "Human World".
Because when watching the sample film and the script outline, Han Sen kept thinking of the light singing from the theme song of the large-scale reality-themed TV series "In the World" in his previous life.
Because of this chant in his mind, Han Sen felt an uncontrollable emotion when watching the sample film.
Han Sen's thoughts on each character in this work are just as described in the lyrics of "Human World":
"I wish you to ride through a thousand waves
Can stay by your lover's side
When my mother gets old
Listen to her slowly talk about her childhood
I also wish you never forget your youthful self
Don't be afraid of the gray hair
We are like seeds
Live your life toward the sun—"
The sound of this song seemed to ring in his ears. Han Sen's hair went numb and he immediately turned on his computer and wrote down the lyrics.
He can't sing this song.
Because this song needs to be performed with a brighter and high-pitched voice, so that it can be more shocking.
There are many voices and sounds that match this song, such as Zong Qingzhen, Guan Tingjiao, etc., who are popular female singers on the market.
But obviously, Han Sen has a more suitable candidate in mind.
…
UK, London, Royal Academy of Music.
Ge Qingqi was listening to the lecture and taking notes in class, but soon her phone vibrated twice, and the envelope from the email attracted Ge Qingqi's attention: "Brother Sen?"
She put down the pen, glanced at the spitting professor on the podium, and casually opened the contents of the envelope.
What was written in the envelope was a song.
[Song title: "Human World"
Lyricist: Han Sen
Composer: Han Sen
Grass and trees will sprout and children will grow up
The train of time does not stop for anyone...]
Ge Qingqi's heart skipped a beat, "Brother Sen's new song? Maybe it's written for me?"
Thinking of this, Ge Qingqi was excited and wanted to call Han Sen back immediately, but he quickly restrained the urge. After calming down, he closed the cap of his pen, picked up his phone and looked at it carefully.
The first thing she read was the lyrics.
Just the first few sentences, it is warm, simple and seems to contain unlimited energy.
And when Ge Qingqi read the entire lyrics, not surprisingly, Ge Qingqi was moved by the lyrics of the song. These words seemed to take her through the four seasons and read the spring and autumn. The words exuded the warmth and sadness of the world.
The insights into life are moving.
The chorus part is even more clear and translucent. The person who wrote these lyrics seems to have broad feelings and the warmth and romance of human fireworks.
Every word seems to soothe every soul that is sinking under the wave of fate.
"Good words!"
Ge Qingqi's face was full of emotion. Ge Qingqi loved this heart-warming words, but she also knew the Chinese music scene. Such lyrics did not seem to be in the category of pop songs.
In other words, this may be a well-received piece of work.
But who told Han Sen to write this song?
The word Hansen is synonymous with fire!
At this moment, Ge Qingqi couldn't hold it any longer.
After being abroad for more than half a year, she has long since disappeared from the music scene.
And now, she wants to return to her country more than ever.
Because many people have forgotten the female singer who once sang "Crescent Bay", "Our Love" and "Millennium Love", and they have forgotten that she also has a pair of songs that are not inferior to those of popular female singers Zong Qingzhen and Guan Ting.
The natural singing voices of Jiao, Li Yaoqin and others.
