Chapter 174 New Album Release: Su Yang's Poetry
"Shuyao, consider these endorsements. Do you want to take them all? I've screened them..."
In the studio, Su Yang was recording a single while Tang Qing discussed work with Qin Shuyao. She had turned down offers for commercial performances, variety shows, TV dramas, and movies. After sifting through the advertising endorsements, she kept a few that offered higher salaries and better brands.
As for whether to accept these advertisements, it depends on Qin Shuyao's own choice.
Qin Shuyao looked at the information carefully, and after reading it, she began to think seriously. Finally, she picked up a pen and crossed out a few, leaving only three advertisements.
"I'll ask Su Yang later and ask for his opinion. If he's willing, we'll take on these three ads. If not, forget it..."
Qin Shuyao said with a smile. Looking at these three advertisements, Tang Qing looked at Qin Shuyao with resentment. You two young couples are really enough. You show your love even in the advertisements.
For these three ads, the other party asked Qin Shuyao and Su Yang to shoot the film, and the price they offered was also the couple's quotation.
An advertisement for chocolate, an advertisement for cosmetics, and an advertisement for a clothing brand.
The quotes for the three advertisements were also very high. Among them, a famous chocolate brand directly offered the couple a high endorsement fee of 30 million.
The endorsement fees offered by the cosmetics and clothing brands were not low, 26 million and 24 million respectively. This was a high price, considering it was for a year. Tang Qing had bargained hard to come by this price. And this wasn't the final price; if Qin Shuyao's popularity increased significantly after releasing her new album, the price would continue to rise.
In a year, the two of them took on three commercials and easily earned 80 million in endorsement fees. This is the money-making power of the entertainment industry. This is also why Bai Yue and her husband are reluctant to announce their divorce two years ago. It is really because fame in the entertainment industry is too profitable.
Qin Shuyao now had her own independent studio, so she didn't need to share the profits with the company. Besides paying taxes, she would give Tang Qing a share, and the rest went into her own pocket.
"Husband, take a look at these three ads, are you willing to take them?"
After Su Yang finished his work, Qin Shuyao told him what happened with a smile.
"Answer it, why not? Only a fool wouldn't answer it with so much money..."
Seeing the price, Su Yang's eyes lit up immediately. Shit, free money, only a fool would refuse it.
"Why are there only three? It would be better if there were more..."
Su Yang's money-obsessed look made Qin Shuyao and Tang Qing laugh.
"You can't just accept random ads. Doing so will only erode your popularity. The more popular an artist is, the less likely they are to accept random ads."
Qin Shuyao said with a smile.
For an artist, especially a major star, accepting commercials is a skill. Each ad requires careful consideration. Some offer high prices, but sometimes the money is too much to handle. A single, ill-conceived ad could potentially derail a career.
Artists need to protect their reputations. The more famous they become, the less likely they are to act recklessly. They must carefully select endorsements and other work, much like actors choose roles. However, the greater their fame, the higher their commission. A single ad might command a higher price than ten or even dozens of other artists, completely departing from the principle of winning by sheer volume.
Look at the endorsement deals of top artists. A single brand's endorsement fees can easily reach tens of millions per year, often in US dollars or euros. These artists don't need many endorsements; just a few can bring in a staggering amount of annual fees. Only these artists can be called top stars.
"Sister Qing, if you have anything during this period, please call me or video chat."
After a busy day in the studio, Qin Shuyao and Tang Qing said goodbye. Today, their album was officially released. Tomorrow, their honeymoon officially began.
The two of them didn't have a specific timeline or a specific number of days to play. They just went wherever they wanted and came back when they were tired. As for when to start work again, they would decide when the time came.
"Okay, have fun."
Tang Qing nodded, but with a hint of envy in her heart.
When will I be able to find someone I truly love, and then, like Qin Shuyao, travel with the person I love and enjoy life.
Tang Qing actually had some yearning in her heart, but the older she got, the more she felt she couldn't find the right person. Especially after her recent relationship with Su Yang, Tang Qing felt that her standards had become even higher. She looked down upon ordinary men, and often Tang Qing would subconsciously compare some of the people around her with Su Yang.
After the comparison, Tang Qing found that those so-called excellent men immediately became cheap and not worthy of her attention at all. This made Tang Qing very distressed. She even feared that one day she would do something that even she could not forgive herself.
"My new album, 'Because of Love,' will be released simultaneously on all major music platforms tonight at 8 PM. Please give it your full support. Love you all..."
At noon, Qin Shuyao released the news of her new album on Weibo.
After Qin Shuyao posted on Weibo, Su Yang also posted on Weibo, and there were more than one. However, compared to Qin Shuyao's simple words, Su Yang showed off his literary talent again. A poem called "Because of Love"
If we had never met, perhaps my heart would never be heavy.
If you really miss it, I'm afraid you will never feel at ease in your life.
One glance is enough to make the heart pass through the hurricane.
In the barren land, you can understand the scenery more deeply.
A long journey is enough to make a weak heart withered.
Every time I glance at the ripples of autumn water, I can't help but shed tears.
How can one not die calmly?
How can love be indifferent?
As long as we love each other once, our life will be without regrets.
"A poem for everyone, I hope everyone's life will become better because of love. My wife's new album "Because of Love" will be released on major music platforms at 8 o'clock tonight, everyone remember to support it."
"By the way, I re-recorded some of my old songs and made an album called 'Our Memories'. It's also available on major music platforms tonight at 8pm. It's on sale now, only two yuan, everything is two yuan, every item is two yuan, you can't get a bad deal on two yuan, you can't get cheated on two yuan, everything is two yuan (dog head)."
Su Yang posted three Weibo posts in a row. The first one was a beautiful modern poem. The second one was to promote his wife's new album. The third one was to promote his own album.
But these three Weibo posts almost made Su Yang's fans burst out laughing.
Damn, what kind of personality does this bastard have?
Looking at the first Weibo post, this is a talented person with outstanding literary talent.
Look at the second Weibo post. This is a good man who loves his wife.
Looking at the third Weibo post, this is a completely inappropriate joke.
"Nimma, I'll die of laughter on Su Yang's Weibo sooner or later..."
"Hahaha, you funny guy, but I really like this poem..."
"Support, of course I will support it. I have to support my sister-in-law's album. Can your album be cheaper? How about two cents..."
"Hahahaha, yes, make it cheaper. It's a clearance sale, two cents a pop is not enough..."
"I only have a dime, can I not..."
"Fuck, you guys are so greedy, I gave you two pieces and you're still not satisfied..."
"Hahahaha, support, support, let's go support tonight..."
"There's a surprise, and there's no more Late Night Show. Buy ten tickets..."
Su Yang's Weibo became lively, and his fans were extremely frivolous. Su Yang was not a serious person, so how could his fans be serious?
Although they are not serious, their fans are very active. These people often say funny things, but they really support when they should.
Qin Shuyao’s Weibo was also very lively, with many fans expressing their support.
"Qin Shuyao's new album will be released tonight, and Su Yang will be the sole bearer of this responsibility..."
"Su Yang wrote twelve new songs for Qin Shuyao. Qin Shuyao's new album will be released tonight..."
"Qin Shuyao's career is experiencing a second spring, and her blockbuster album has been released..."
"With a successful marriage and career, Qin Shuyao is the biggest winner..."
Many media outlets also began to publicize this matter, including some media outlets contacted by Tang Qing and some media outlets that came to attract traffic on their own initiative.
The news of Qin Shuyao releasing a new album quickly became a hot topic, which directly suppressed the news of Bai Yue's divorce. This can be regarded as a disguised compensation.
In one afternoon, news of Qin Shuyao's new album release spread across the internet. This was part of their promotional strategy: focus on promotion in the afternoon and release it directly in the evening.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when night falls, many people who are interested in this album go to their usual music platforms.
On the homepages of these music platforms, Qin Shuyao's new album "Because of Love" is featured high on the banner. Seeing the album was released, many netizens couldn't wait to click in.
Of the twelve songs, except for "Finally Waiting for You" they had heard before, the other eleven were all new songs. The most important thing was that all twelve songs were written and composed by Su Yang. His talent was incredible.
The song at the top of the list is the title song of this album, called "Because of Love." Surprisingly, the singer is not Qin Shuyao herself, but a duet between Qin Shuyao and Su Yang. Few singers would choose a duet as the title song of their album. Qin Shuyao did it today. This is not a new album release, but a continued display of affection.
Damn, I bought an album and was fed dog food again. Enough of this. Ever since I became a fan of these two, I've been fed this dog food every day. But some fans just like this kind of dog food.
In Guangzhou, Li Wenting is a post-90s generation.
She works in finance at an internet company and enjoys listening to music, but she's not a fan. She follows celebrities she likes and downloads and buys songs she likes. But she never joins fan clubs; she's a typical rational person.
During this time, Li Wenting was a fan of Su Yang. She not only liked Su Yang's singing, but also his personality and talent. This handsome, talented, inspiring, funny, protective of his wife, and full of justice, this boy was like a hero.
So after work, Li Wenting curiously opened her usual music platform. After seeing Qin Shuyao's album, she opened it curiously. She was curious about the quality of the songs Su Yang wrote for Qin Shuyao. After all, the songs Su Yang had written recently were of excellent quality, so the quality of the songs he wrote for his wife should not be bad either.
Opening the album, Li Wenting immediately spotted the song "Because of Love." She clicked the preview button, put on her headphones, and comfortably leaned back on her small sofa, gazing at the night view outside with a smile on her face. Listening to the song, gazing at the night view, and enjoying the beautiful day—perhaps this is the simple beauty of life.
