The time came to May 1, and more than a month had passed since the cyber war.

Today, the number of "E.L.F." has reached 1.07 million, of which 500,000 are contributed by the Xiangjiang area, 200,000 are contributed by Baodao, and the third place is actually RB, which contributed 100,000 tickets!

The number of people participating in the lottery also reached 700,000, and Shao Diheng also fulfilled his promise to select 10 fans from it and invite them to participate in the shooting of the next album MV.

1.07 million copies, directly breaking the highest sales record in the Asia-Pacific region since the launch of GOGO Music!

Shao Diheng can be said to have become a first-line singer, but he may be the most idle first-line singer ever!

Why?

Because to be rich is to be capricious!

It's not that the family has money, but he has become a millionaire himself!

He single-handedly handled the lyrics and singing of "E.L.F.", and Emperor Records also gave a fifty-fifty percent of the first-line standard, so the physical record and digital album brought him more than five million income, which is how many first-line singers have earned money after a year of hard work!

In addition, the companies he signed with are all his own, and the commercial performances he doesn't want to go to are pushed, and the endorsements he doesn't like are also pushed!

So he has become the most idle person in the whole company and even among the newcomers, if it is not for the fact that he still needs to go to school from Monday to Friday to cope with his studies and exams, he plans to write a web novel of "The Star Life of Salted Fish" at home.

But today he still got up early, and after an hour of practicing vocal training, he came to the lawn of Shaw Manor in full dress, and he will be interviewed by Time Magazine later!

He has also been interviewed by other magazines before, but they are all local magazines, and this time Time Magazine is a magazine owned by an American media group, and he still attaches great importance to it.

Because sooner or later he will go to the other side of the ocean to expand his territory, Shaw Brothers only has one fifth-ranked cinema chain in the industry there, and the media influence is almost zero, so it is still very necessary to establish a good relationship with the media there as soon as possible.

Founded in 1923, Time was one of the first newsweek magazines to appear more than half a century ago, and has a considerable degree of influence both in North America and internationally.

Just as Time evaluates itself, its reports on various fields are not written specifically for experts in the field, but for all readers who want to understand the world through the window of Time.

Now he is interviewed by Time Magazine Asia, and with E.L.F. breaking a series of records in the Hong Kong music scene, he finally has the opportunity to appear on the cover of Time Magazine Asia!

However, the American edition and the Asian edition are two levels of newspapers, and magazines of this level like the three major American magazines generally have sub-editions all over the world, and the American edition is the core, and it is also the brand of this magazine.

The Asian edition of Time Magazine is actually not much different from the local magazine, but the American edition is different, which really means that the star has attracted the attention of the American public.

Just after nine o'clock, a lady in a white suit and a man who looked like an assistant walked over under the guidance of the butler.

"Hello Mr. Shao! I'm Han Lin, a reporter for Time Magazine in the Asia-Pacific region!" Han Lin took the lead in introducing herself and handed over a business card.

"Hello Miss Han!" Shao Diheng stood up and took the business card, and shook hands with Han Lin.

Han Lin pursed her lips and smiled: "If Mr. Shao has no problem, let's start directly, it won't delay you for a long time." ”

After getting Shao Diheng's consent, the interview soon began.

Turning on the voice recorder, Han Lin asked the first question.

"Let's start with a question I'm very curious about, the English name you gave yourself is E.L.F., so does that name mean anything?"

"Oh, you're the first person to ask this question, E.L.F. is an abbreviation in English!" Looking at Han Lin's curious eyes, Shao Diheng said: "Ever Lasting Friend!

Han Lin clapped her hands and said: "This meaning is so warm, I believe your fans will be very moved when they know it! The second question, most of the public's understanding of you comes from "The Voice of Dreams", can you ask why you participated in this show in the first place?"

"Everyone knows that the producer of "The Voice of Dreams" is Baozhu Channel, Baozhu Station is a company under my grandfather's name, once I went to Baozhu Station to play as usual, and I thought it was very interesting to hear that the program team was preparing this variety show, and I also wanted to try my level, so I signed up to participate. ”

Shao Diheng has long been familiar with interviews with reporters, so the answer has long been thought of in his mind.

Of course he wouldn't be stupid to say that I came up with that show for my debut, right?!

If he said that, he was afraid of being beaten up when he went out on the street......

Han Lin asked again: "So you're actually ready to make your debut before participating in the show?"

Shao Diheng smiled, and gave an uncertain answer in a half-joking tone: "Actually, I wasn't very confident in myself at that time, after all, several mentors are really powerful, what if I was knocked out of the stage for the first time......

After hearing this answer, Han Lin and his assistant couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouths.

After a pause, she continued to ask: "We all know that you have been studying music with Mr. Dai Shicong and Mr. Huang Hailin since you were a child, what is the reason why you made up your mind to follow the path of music at such a young age?"

Shao Diheng said: "If I have to think of a reason, all I can think of is the genetics in my bones, my grandfather is a very successful entertainment businessman, when I was babbling, he held me to watch other people's records and movies, and gradually when I was sensible, I liked this kind of art under the lens very much, the story in the song." ”

Han Lin's eyes lit up: "So, do you think interest is the best guide?"

Shao Diheng nodded and said, "Sort of." ”

Han Lin asked again: "You just heard the movie, so can I understand that you will develop into the film and television industry?"

"Of course, in fact, when my singing career stabilizes, I will systematically learn directing knowledge, and Shaw Brothers is the best school in Xiangjiang, where there are the best film instructors in Xiangjiang, and it is also the biggest treasure trove of Xiangjiang films!" Shao Diheng affirmed.

"I hope to see Mr. Shao's masterpiece as soon as possible!" Han Lin flipped the notes he was carrying to the next page and continued to ask, "Do you have any plans for the future?" including studies and work. ”

Shao Diheng thought for a while and said: "The next most important thing is, of course, the Xiangjiang Advanced Level Examination, hoping to be admitted to a good university, as for work, the next album has no clue for the time being, but recently Baozhu Channel is planning a variety show, and I should be a guest in several episodes." ”

Han Lin asked curiously, "Is it a singing variety show?"

"No, it's a puzzle variety show, which is very interesting. Shao Diheng explained.

"Hmm...... Although it may be a bit inappropriate for me to ask a newcomer who has just debuted in this way, Mr. Shao is not an ordinary newcomer!, so I wonder if Mr. Shao has any expectations for the Xiangjiang music scene, or what expectations does the Xiangjiang entertainment industry have?" asked Han Lin after a moment's hesitation.

This question is too high to answer.

It was a moment before he answered.

"When Mr. Huang was dying, several of our disciples were by his side, and at the last moment, he placed great hopes on me! So my expectations are also Mr. Huang's expectations, and we all hope that the Xiangjiang music scene will continue to be brilliant! I also hope that the title of 'Oriental Hollywood', which has been lost for ten years, can return to Xiangjiang! Let more people in the world know Cantonese songs and can sing Cantonese songs, and let more people in the world accept our oriental culture!" This is Shao Diheng's most sincere sentence after being interviewed.

The interview lasted for more than 20 minutes, and later Han Lin asked him a lot of questions related to his works and creations, and Shao Diheng also answered selectively.

At the end of the interview, Han Lin asked one last question.

"Next is a personal question that I, as one of your fans, would love to gossip about, and this one won't be in the magazine...... E.L.F. Do you have a girlfriend?" Han Lin even changed her name.

Shao Diheng really wanted to put on an "embarrassing" emoji, how could you bear to ask this question to a fifteen-year-old boy?

Shao Diheng wanted to deny it directly, but Deng Shuying's fleshy little face appeared in his mind, so he snorted and said, "What do you think?"

Han Lin showed a GET look, pursed his lips and smiled, "There is one last thing I need to ask you for." ”

Shao Diheng pretended not to understand her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"If you don't mind, we'd like to take a picture of you to be the cover of the next issue of Time magazine. But I'm not shooting here, when do you have time in the afternoon?"

That's it.

Say.

Shao Diheng smiled slightly and nodded happily.

"Absolutely. ”

He has always been very confident in his handsomeness.

After agreeing on a time and place to shoot the cover, Han Lin left with her assistant.

As she said, the whole interview did not occupy him for long.

As soon as Han Lin walked on the front foot, Deng Shuying came in on the back foot, and the two sides passed by.

Han Lin secretly glanced at Deng Shuying with his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

Deng Shuying asked curiously, "Who are those two people?"

Shao Diheng replied casually: "A reporter from Time Magazine." ”

Deng Shuying was surprised: "Are you going to be on Time Magazine?"

"Sort of. Looking at Deng Shuying, who admired him, Shao Diheng smiled and said, "It's just the cover of the Asian version of the weekly magazine, and the stars on Xiangjiang can't be counted on ten fingers, and when you make your debut, I believe they will also come to interview you." ”

Just the cover of the Asian edition of the weekly?

Deng Shuying: "......"

Shao Diheng has been good everywhere since he was a child, and the only fly in the ointment is that he often "forced" gas leakage.

And every time she pretended to be speechless.

Shao Diheng asked: "By the way, after the exam next week, I am going to go to the United States, do you want to go together?"

Deng Shuying immediately asked, "Do you have something to do next week?"

Shao Diheng nodded and said, "Weilong's "Captain America 1" has been filmed, and I am going to go over and take a look." ”

In fact, of course, Deng Shuying could not follow Shao Diheng to the United States, and now her family does not allow her to go home later than 12 o'clock, and it is even more impossible to go abroad.
