You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 405 Jiang Sang, when will you come to Neon
Regarding the Grammy nomination, Jiang Yan also communicated with Warner, nothing else, just asked whether the award is stable.

In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he wins an award or not, but he has already been nominated, so he has to make a strategy.

Warner also gave an accurate reply, let alone other awards, more than [-]% of the Grammy's "Best Newcomer Award" is Jiang Yan's, and the rest is still in public relations.

In fact, the performance of Jiang Yan's "Joey" this time is very impressive. It is no joke that it is close to [-]th platinum. If it is an American singer, it has already won the three Laomei music awards.

But because of his nationality and race, Jiang Yan was even faintly suppressed in the Billboard charts. An album plus a single, a total of four songs, the second second, never won the first place, let alone music The award, the discrimination is written on the forehead.

Even with Warner's help, the difficulty is not small.

Originally, Jiang Yan was expected to be nominated for the "Billboard Awards" and "American Music Awards", but later Warner took the initiative to help Jiang Yan give up, exchanged some resources, and then went all out to tackle the Grammys.

This was also agreed by Jiang Yan. Although the above two awards are as famous as the Grammys in the three major American music awards, their influence is obviously inferior to the Grammys.

It's okay in the old American mainland, but it's much worse in the world.

Although Jiang Yan would not take these two awards for nothing, but in the case of a choice, Jiang Yan would definitely give priority to the best Grammy.

In addition, although Jiang Yan doesn't pay much attention to music, winning several Grammy awards has significantly improved Jiang Yan's status in the world music scene, especially in Asia and China, where he can almost be called a god.

But the influence of the other two awards obviously can't do this, so even if Warner doesn't make a choice, Jiang Yan will take the initiative to ask for full publicity of the Grammy.

If you win the best newcomer in the four major categories, you will get the best single of the year or one of the best male singer in rock and the best male singer in pop.

The title of "International Superstar" on Jiang Yan's body is truly solid.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, he doesn't care too much, and Jiang Yan doesn't mind coming to the list a few more times when he is happy.

The Chinese rankings are slaughtered, but the European and American rankings cannot be slaughtered?
Jiang Yan's nomination for the Grammys not only caused a sensation, but also happened at a very clever time.

The 25th happened to be the premiere of "The Mountain" in Beijing.

So the premiere, which was already getting a lot of attention, now has a lot of attention.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, nearly 500 people squeezed into the screening room that could only accommodate 800 people. In fact, Jiang Yan originally wanted to switch to the auditorium to broadcast, but there was no time, so he had to make do with it.

Among the 800 people, most of the extra are media.

There are inside and outside, some yellow-skinned faces inside, listen carefully to what they say, and there are a few neon media among them.

So the influence of Grammy really cannot be underestimated.

But looking at this fiery scene, Jiang Yan felt that this time, he should be able to get rid of the neon distributor in one fell swoop.

. . . . . .

In this era, the film market is in the so-called period of "the rise of blockbuster movies and the prosperity of comedies". The original "The Man in That Mountain, That Dog" has no stars, no big scenes, no sense of historical vicissitudes, and no funny. Not at all favored by publishers.

Now that Jiang Yan is here, at least it won't be a problem for "The Mountain" to be released in China, and it may even be a hit.

As for a big hit, don't expect it, as I said before, this is a literary film, there are no big scenes, no exciting plots, and it's unlikely that it will be a big hit in this era.

But Neon is different. The original space-time movie has exploded in Neon.

What do professional film critics say?

"This is a very simple film. People not only appreciate the beautiful green scenery of the southern countryside, but also experience the long-lost father-son relationship in Neon, which happens to be the most lacking in Japan."

Not only that, but the social impact of this film is also great.

After the original time and space was released in Neon, because the movie was loved by the audience, under the impetus of the movie, the Japanese version of Peng Jianming's novel collection "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", including the original novel and six other short stories, was sold in Japan for nearly 14 copies. book.

Many Nihong people who have watched the film began to learn Chinese, and film folk groups in the Kansai region of Japan have requested to have discussions with the crew. As of October 2001, this book has been reprinted five times.

Some government agencies and individual political parties in Neon required their employees to watch the film as an educational film, and a poster of the film was even pasted on the outer wall of the studio of the Post Office.

So Jiang Yan will naturally not give up on the neon market.

Because of this, he contacted the neon person who released "The Mountain" in the original time and space in advance.

Soon the premiere ceremony started, Jiang Yan appeared on stage, and there was deafening applause and cheers.

King of Asia, Best Screenplay at the Academy Awards, Light of the Chinese, Conducting Artist, and currently a new Grammy nominee.

In addition, Jiang Yan himself is handsome and low-key, and rarely appears on the show except at certain times.

Now that the first starring movie is released, it naturally attracts a large group of fans, movie fans and fans to come to join in.

Soon the question and answer session of the premiere will begin.

In addition to routine questions, Jiang Yan also specially answered a few questions in Japanese with several Neon reporters.

"This is a literary film, I don't ask for much box office, just word of mouth."

When the neon female reporter heard Jiang Yan answering her in Japanese, she was taken aback on the spot, and then covered her mouth in surprise.

After waiting for a while, she replied in Japanese: "Jiang Sang, your Japanese is really good, I can't hear your Chinese accent at all."

"Of course, my language talent is not bad. Currently, I can learn English, Japanese, and French, and I may learn Russian and German in the future."

Jiang Yan took the opportunity to do some marketing, and gave the female reporter a charming smile after speaking.

The Nihong female reporter felt her knees go limp at the scene, and it took a while before she continued to ask: "Jiang Sang, will you go to Nihong, Nihong has many fans of you, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time. "

"Go to Neon, I think I will definitely go next year, and I'm already preparing the plan, and I'm still preparing a few Japanese songs for this." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Really, Jiang Sang's song must be very nice." The female reporter completely forgot that she was a reporter.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, expressed his thanks and then turned to deal with other issues.

For the neon market, he has risked everything.

Neon is not big, but the film industry is more developed than it is in China now. It is currently the largest ticket warehouse for Hollywood movies in Asia. Jiang Yan is not only Hong Kong and domestic films, but also Hollywood movies, so it is important to maintain a good relationship with Neon. strategic.

But Jiang Yan naturally won't use licking to build a good relationship.

As the king of Asia, the great Jiang Sang naturally wants to be licked by Neon fans. . .cough cough. . .

Anyway, that's the situation.

Neon always bows to the strong, and Jiang Yan wants to go to Neon, so he will naturally descend as an empire destroying dragon.

After the half-hour questioning session ended, Jiang Yan, Teng Rujun and other main creators returned to their seats, waiting for the movie to start.

The reporters and the audience also refreshed their understanding of Jiang Yan once again.

Jiang Yan is not only handsome, low-key, and artistically talented, but also has really good foreign language skills.

According to the fallen Nihong reporter, Jiang Yan no longer has an accent in Japanese.

And the same is true for English.

So this is really "Jiang Shen"!

It's really not easy to break into Oscars and Grammys without a few brushes.

Everyone wrote down this Easter egg in their notebooks, and then began to wait for the movie to start.

They can't wait to see what kind of movie Jiang Yan said is "suitable to calm down and watch slowly".

In the first row, Jiang Yan was whispering this to a neon man sitting beside him.

This neon man is Kazuo Fukasawa who was in charge of publishing "The Mountain" in Yuanshikong.

. . . . . .

In the original time and space, the domestic distribution of "The Mountain" was blocked, and only one copy was sold nationwide, and the box office was almost zero.

Kazuo Fukasawa, a senior distributor of Neon, saw this film by chance, and found the director Huo Jianqi, expressing his willingness to do the distribution work of Neon for this film.

Kazuo Fukasawa used to be the general manager of Toho Towa, and also worked as a screenwriter for animated films. Famous directors such as Yamamoto Eiichi and Takahata Isao have cooperated with him.

He has a strong interest in Chinese culture and has devoted himself to cultural exchanges between China and Japan for many years. He has a unique vision in the field of film and television drama distribution. He introduced the 86 edition of "Liao Zhai" to Neon.

After purchasing the distribution rights of neon, Kazuo Fukasawa immediately cooperated with Iwanami Cinema, "Xunbao", Toho East and jointly operated and distributed, and the neon trip of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was in an unusual way. It unfolded under careful deployment.

So far, the 48 yuan obtained from selling the domestic TV broadcast rights to the movie channel, plus the 8 US dollars sold out to the Japanese side, is the total income of the film producer.

At this time, no one would have thought that this domestic "no one wants to see" movie would sell 8 million yen at the box office at Neon.

This also has a lot to do with the seriousness, carefulness and professionalism of the distributors of Neon.

They collected all the information about "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", including the relevant information of the main creators, and even the birthday of a supporting character. It introduces the background of film creation and the knowledge of human geography in western Hunan where it was filmed.

Yanbo Cinema also bought the copyright of six short stories from the original author Peng Jianming, and launched a collection of Japanese versions of Peng Jianming's novels together with "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

After nearly a year of publicity, the box office of "The Mountain" was gratifying after its release, and soon broke the overseas box office record of Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother".

And Jiang Yan fell in love with Kazuo Fukasawa, in addition to his careful and conscientious way of working, he also meant deep cooperation.

Because he is definitely going to make a movie in Neon, it will definitely be much more convenient to have a local in-depth partner.

Of course, Warner also has related channels in Neon, but they mainly make music. At present, the movie is not even smooth, so it is obviously more free to find another partner. There is no need to rely on Warner all the time. .

But for now, one of the first things to do with Kazuo Fukasawa is Jiang Yan's popularity.

This has actually been resolved. Even if there is no Grammy nomination, Kazuo Fukasawa knows that Jiang Yan is very popular, otherwise he would not come here.

And the second step is to let the film speak.
