You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 707 Music doesn't matter

A "Flag Opening Victory", English name "Wavin`flag", is a song by Jiang Yan from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In fact, there are really not many songs to choose from for the World Cup.

It must be adapted to Chinese, but also suitable for adapting Asian elements, and it cannot be changed to "Waka Waka" or "Dud Da Da" in Dakar 2022, which have regional characteristics. In addition, the melody must be catchy and catchy. "Flag Opening" is the most suitable one.

Now that "Flag Opening" is officially released, the response in China has not been unexpected and it has received a lot of praise.

At the same time, Jiang Yan in China also received a call from a group of friends immediately. The content of the call was highly unified, that is, asking for help to get a signature.

Jiang Yan doesn't care whether they really want it or it's just for show, anyway, he will give it anyway, after all, he has too much in stock.

In the few days in Europe, his aura of affinity was in full swing. In addition, Jiang Yan also took the time to make three "three treasures", and picked up Zidane, Beckham and Ronaldo, three of whom he was interested in. The favor of the stars, especially Ronaldo, this guy's Brazil team will win the championship this year, and Jiang Yan wants to use his face to touch the Hercules Cup to pretend to be a comparison.

In short, under the influence of Jiang Yan's high-power activation skills, it would be disrespectful for all the star friends to leave dozens of autographs. At the same time, Jiang Yan also signed a lot for them. " is also quite resounding.

So now facing so many people asking for autographs, Jiang Yan can handle it.

Of course, how to give it must be particular. It is too cheap to give it to anyone.

After the domestic version was released, a few hours later, the global English version of "Wavin`flag" was also released in Europe. Not surprisingly, this also caused a huge response.

In a pub in England.

The fans watched superstars appear on TV one by one, and with the passionate drumbeats, everyone's attention had already been attracted.

In the picture, after the soccer ball passed under the feet of a group of superstars, it finally came to the top of Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan jumped high and stopped the ball with his chest. After landing lightly, he turned around and passed straight. Give another kick, and at the same time as the football flies towards the goal, the singing just hits Gao Chao:
"WE ALL SAY
let's talk
When I get older I will be stronger
When I grow up, I'll be stronger

They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' flag
They set us free like that flag flies

. . . "

After the goal, Beckham made a passionate kneeling, and his teammates Jiang Yan, Zidane and others all rushed over to celebrate together.

The camera flashed, the fans in the stands, the Chinese-looking students in front of the TV, and the tens of thousands of people in front of the screen in the big square, all of them cheered for the goal except the one who was scored.

This promotional song has not been played until now, but it can already be seen how much it cost.

For Jiang Yan's promotional song, Pepsi spent a lot of money, almost using all the stars under its contract.

Jiang Yan also spent two days in Europe before, taking turns filming clips with more than a dozen European stars, and then handing over to editors and special effects artists to work overtime to complete.

During the period, due to the issue of playing time, there were still many differences between some superstars. Fortunately, Jiang Yan's friendly aura is not vegetarian. In the end, it was a friendly negotiation between friends and then everyone was happy.

Of course, everyone is happy, but in fact there is still some emphasis. For example, the scene of Beckham's appearance will definitely take a few seconds longer.

This is not only because of his handsome parents, but also because Beckham is already on the business route, and he fits perfectly with Jiang Yan, the son of wind.

In addition, "Flag Opening Victory" is not only available in pure Chinese, Chinese-English bilingual, and English versions, but also in French, Spanish, and Arabic. The English version will be available in mainstream European and American markets after the Chinese version is released. Release, be regarded as the official version.

And the editing of each language version will also have some emphasis on the stars. For example, in the UK, Beckham’s time will be longer, and it will be adjusted accordingly in other countries. After all, you can’t broadcast someone’s deadly rival in a certain country. The MV that takes up the majority is going to have an accident.

In this regard, Jiang Yan and the Pepsi team also signed another agreement. If something goes wrong, Jiang Yan can be picked out, and secondly, he can also receive huge compensation. . .

Having said that, so far, the MV has shown off Pepsi's superstar team, but this is the promotional song for the World Cup after all, and it has to express the atmosphere of the World Cup.

So at the end of the MV celebrating the goal, Jiang Yan danced on the beach with bands of various races and a bunch of children of all races.

"Flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
. . . "

At the end of the MV, there is a close-up of Pepsi's big logo and its slogan at the end.

Then the fans all over the world sighed, Pepsi is awesome, it can actually get the son of the wind and there are so many superstars!

Of course, during this period, many people will naturally ask: "Who is the Son of the Wind?"

At this time, those who didn't know Jiang Yan shook their heads, and then said: It looks like a Chinese, I saw the national flag, and it's not a starlet.

This is also true, can a small star cooperate with so many football superstars?
And those who know some of the deeds of the wind child began to popularize science:

"Do you remember the Zonda Tour that caused a global sensation last year? I don't know, but do you know who defeated the Dream Team in the Sydney Olympics? Don't watch basketball? Well, have you heard of "Ma Yi Ya He"? What about "Freeloop"? Have you ever heard "you are beautiful"? Yes, it's all his songs! Awesome? That's right, he's a 'son of the wind', what does 'son of the wind' mean? Come and let me talk to you..."

At this time, similar scenes not only appeared in the UK, but also in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and even Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay in South America, China, Japan, Korea, and Africa in Asia...

The fame of "Son of the Wind", coupled with Pepsi's huge channel capabilities, coupled with the fiery atmosphere approaching the World Cup, made this song quickly spread around the world.

In less than a week, "Wavin`flag" became the second song of "Children of the Wind" to go out of the circle around the world. As for the first song, it is naturally "Mo Yi Ya He" that is still being played in brainwashing. . .

. . . . . . .

After Pepsi's "Wavin`flag" advertisement was released globally, it brought a huge boost to Jiang Yan's popularity.

The most intuitive manifestation is the ranking of "Wavin`flag" single on the billboards of various countries and the sales of Jiang Yan's past works.

The song "Waving Flag" is extremely popular, the melody and rhythm are quite brainwashing, and the lyrics are not difficult to remember. Even if you can't sing after listening to it two or three times, you can still hum a few tunes.

At the time when the World Cup is approaching, the energy of a brainwashing and passionate song doubles instantly in this environment.

At the same time, "Wavin`flag" also has multi-language versions. Under the bombardment of publicity, this song quickly went out of the circle, and directly spread from a simple advertisement promotion song to the World Cup and even the entire football field.

Pepsi itself invested a lot in channel promotion for this song, and immediately increased its investment after achieving good results in the early stage.

So a week later, "Wavin`flag" successfully topped the British Billboard's single-week chart. At the same time, "Wavin`flag" also performed well on other pop music charts in Europe, almost all of which entered the top ten.

As the popularity of "Wavin`flag" increased, the sales of Jiang Yan's "Joey" series also increased again. According to Warner's news, by May 5, that is, three weeks after the promotional song was released, Jiang Yan's "Joey" series "The sales volume of the three albums in the series exceeded 20 in these three weeks.

Although this figure is spread across three albums, it doesn't seem very high, but compared with the horizontal comparison at the same time, Jiang Yan's sales are simply outstanding. Take Michael Jackson as an example. In the past three weeks, all his old The combined sales of albums do not exceed 5 copies, which shows that the popularity of the World Cup is terrifying.

But this is not over yet, because "Wavin`flag" is very popular, and the on-demand volume of "Wavin`flag" in as many as 13 languages ​​and its global spread are also very popular. During this period, the Japanese and Korean parties jumped the most. , "Waving Flag" was broadcasted in rotation by TV stations in a large number of countries, and its popularity directly crushed the real promotional songs of Japan and South Korea, making fans in many places think that this is the genuine World Cup theme song.

So of course the relevant people in the two countries did not agree, especially South Korea. The other party immediately sent an email to Xingchenhai, saying that you, Jiang Yan, were clearly trying to catch the heat and squeeze their wool for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

Jiang Yan ignored it, so what if he rubbed against him?Or is it a crime to rub the heat?My "WavingFlag" is popular, what can I do, if you have the ability, you can get a more popular one.

At this time, FIFA came to a wave of assists. They started negotiations with Pepsi at the end of May, and two days later, they officially confirmed the seat of "Wavin`flag" as one of the official theme songs of this World Cup. .

Now the relevant units in Japan and South Korea have jumped even more, but there is no way, FIFA is looking at the interests, it is Mane!The purpose of using such a popular promotional song as one of the theme songs is to make money, and make a lot of money, so I need to listen to your opinions?

With the official seal, "Wavin`flag" soared into the sky, directly reaching the top of the Billboard champion list in six European countries in the fifth week.

At the same time, Jiang Yan's past albums also ushered in another surge in sales. Within a month, the total sales officially exceeded 150 million, and with the sales of new singles, Jiang Yan's total album sales reached 7000 million, successfully entering the history of European and American music circles The top 20 album sales list!
For a while, the European and American music scene was once again shocked, because Jiang Yan was the only Chinese in the top 20, which also attracted many old antiques to shout: Our own culture has made outsiders, don’t we have no one? Yet?

But such voices are actually not heard by many people. Europe and the United States still represent openness, and they all make money, so who cares?

In addition, Jiang Yan is currently in the top 20, but this position may not be maintained forever. After all, sales are changing every year. If you want to stabilize your position, every singer including Jiang Yan must continue to work hard. This is also the vitality of the European and American music scene. source.

Of course, in the future, Jiang Yan may indeed encounter more overt and hidden resistance when he releases songs in Europe and the United States, but one thing will not be erased, that is, strength can break everything. If you are strong, you don’t have to be afraid of these things, but your strength It's not good, and it's an outsider, without much real foundation, who is to blame if it loses quickly?

It was precisely because he understood this truth that Jiang Yan didn't worry much at all.

Having said that, the benefits brought to Jiang Yan after the single became one of the official theme songs are also huge. Warner has calculated it. If nothing else, just take the sales of "Wavin`flag" single and the global copyright share as an example. , Jiang Yan will have at least 500 million US dollars in after-tax net income this month, and it will break 1000 million when the World Cup is over.

In two months, just one single made a net profit of 1000 million US dollars, which is at least 10 times higher than that of "freeloop" in a single month.

However, the two heads of Warner and Pepsi said that this is still not the limit.

"If you can perform at the opening or closing ceremony, the bonuses you will get will be unimaginable!"

Facing the two guys whose eyes are full of money, Jiang Yan couldn't help being moved.

This is the World Cup after all, and Jiang Yan already has a lot of fans around the world, but this time, just taking advantage of the wind around the World Cup, Jiang Yan's fan coverage has expanded again, which is a visible increase in fame.

If there is an opening or closing ceremony, the benefits are indeed quite attractive.

But in the same way, it is not easy to obtain such top-level resources. After all, this is the "World Cup in Japan and South Korea". Jiang Yan is an Asian, and he is even more Chinese.
But this is not what Jiang Yan wants to consider. Warner and Pepsi intend to do this to gain greater benefits, so they will use all their strength to find various breakthroughs. If they fail to get it in the end, Jiang Yan will not feel it is a pity. And if they really seize the opportunity at that time, Jiang Yan will naturally be interested in launching a saturation attack so that everyone can earn more.

Of course, the most important thing for Jiang Yan is not music, but film and television drama projects.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the World Cup, it would be a pity not to fire up my project.

So on May 5th, the first trailer of "My Sassy Girl" was officially released on several TV channels in various parts of Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as on Youtu website. . .
