Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 357 The last song "You Will Win Only If You Fight"

"..."

There is no doubt that this disconnected headline triggered unimaginable comments and even various expectations.

So far, the global box office record for Chinese-language films and television has been set by Infernal Affairs.

The global box office converted into US dollars is about 21.9 billion.

Therefore, Infernal Affairs has always been touted on the Chinese Internet. Coupled with the excellent plot design, the current Rotten Persimmon score is a terrifying 9.8 points.

It is still absolutely touted.

Even if the Wandering Earth appears now, it will still be difficult to compete with it.

The story of Wandering Earth is too simple.

This is the biggest weakness.

but……

When The Wandering Earth actually took an astonishing box office of US$19.45 billion in overseas markets, at least the voice at this stage changed.

Public expectations have also changed.

Nothing else, not one that grossed $30 billion worldwide, yes, not one.

The current global box office record is US$29.23 billion.

Leaving aside Wandering Earth, the second place only has 27.99 billion US dollars.

Although this data is affected by factors such as exchange rates, in short, it is arranged like this according to the exchange rate at that time, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So how much is the global box office of The Wandering Earth today?

According to the real-time exchange rate, it is US$29.45 billion, ranking first in global film history.

but!

However, this number is not shocking enough. It is not as impressive as the first movie with more than 30 billion US dollars to attract global attention!

Soon, netizens who did good deeds began to make calculations.

"Damn, it's a bit scary. According to the real-time exchange rate, the only one that is still being released is domestically, which means that the domestic box office will reach 75.288 billion, which is just enough to reach 30 billion US dollars."

"Now 11 days have passed in November, and it has just reached 71 billion, which is more than 4 million short. The half-day on the first day of release cannot be made up in two 19 days!"

"Is there hope? Is there hope?"

"There really aren't many people watching the Wandering Earth movie. Is it really impossible?"

“How about crowdfunding!”

"Forget it. If the venue was allowed to be booked this time, Xu Nian's rich fans would have booked the venue long ago."

"Yes, instead of crowdfunding, why don't you go to the cinema again to support it? A ticket is only 55 yuan now."

"..."

The craziness of netizens also surprised all parties, and then ended quickly.

Nothing else.

If something big happens, the whole blame will be on the wandering earth.

After all, this is all crowdfunded.

What about a minor who secretly swiped his parents' bank card to support Wandering Earth? What the hell...

After all, there are always a lot of such idiots.

In the past, it was all about games, but this wave of development trends has that flavor.

Therefore, the producers of The Wandering Earth were the first to express their stance, which probably means:

"We have noticed everyone's love for the small broken ball, and we are very grateful, but there is no need to do unnecessary things for some unrealistic reputation;

Believe in our ability to make better quality movies.

We must also believe in the power of regret. Only regret can force us to have better motivation to move forward! "

"..."

Then came the fate of Chinese-language film and television and other aspects.

It's basically a cooling operation.

Then...

The most appropriate solution.

The Wandering Earth jointly announced the release of The Wandering Earth with various distributors and theaters, and stated that it will soon be available on major online video platforms.

Very reasonable.

Rather than allowing it to ferment and then create a greater impact on public opinion, it is better to deal with it directly from the source.

Anyway, it’s not bad at the box office.

If it doesn’t exceed three billion US dollars, the Wandering Earth film crew doesn’t have any big expectations.

After all, it is already number one in global film history.

Leaving a little room for improvement in The Wandering Earth 2 will actually be more beneficial for now.

After all, the more controversial this thing is, the bigger the problem will be.

In the end, the blame lies with Wandering Earth, which is not necessary.

A very important issue is that sometimes the logic of the world's operation is relatively simple and crude to maintain a word called...

stable.

It cannot be said that it has no relationship with another word that people trust and even believe in, but it can only be said that it has little relationship.

…………

The great success of The Wandering Earth has long been a certainty, and naturally it is not within the scope of Mr. Xu's attention.

No matter how much the quarrel turned into, he was too lazy to spare the energy to pay attention.

In fact, there is no such time.

Because these days, he and Lin Jia Nian were wandering around the world and quarreling at the same time.

The last few songs were more difficult to perfect.

the reason is……

The later a song is selected, the more blurry Xu Nian's memories and impressions will be.

Yes, it's that simple.

It’s not the starting point that classics must be left at the end. After all, Mr. Xu has such a bad character that he rarely thinks about long-term development.

He is simply fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

With the exception of "Rogue", the songs that follow are the ones that are more likely to be chosen the more they are remembered.

So until now, many of the songs Xu Nian can think of are vague.

And Lin Jianian is a player with musical attainments, and she can hear the imperfection very well.

But Xu Nian couldn't remember it.

So the last four songs were changed again and again, and I even chose the song "Faith" whose name Xu Nian had already remembered.

Still not enough. Xu Nian also doubted his life.

Considering the relationship between Xu Nian and Lin Jia Nian, who can fight to the death from beginning to end, they are basically fighting three times a day.

Even if they fight like crazy, they will start fighting directly.

Fighting for life and death cannot affect the innocence.

No, Lin Jianian began to gnash his teeth again: "Xu Nian, if your brain is useless, throw it away!"

"You want to piss me off, right?"

"I'm not!"

"I can't remember that tonight I let you know what a woman's anger is!"

"I don't believe you can't threaten you!"

"This song "The Ordinary Road" must be included in your album. There is no room for bargaining. I think it's up to you to work hard, or I'll force you!"

"..."

In fact, there are only two songs left.

I had to choose from the penultimate choice, and finally decided on "The Ordinary Road".

Because both Xu Nian and Lin Jia Nian feel that it fits Xu Nian's current state very well. He has passed such a peak and should return to the ordinary.

But the current situation is far from ideal.

It's because the creative state of both of them is not ideal...don't ask, even a pig can learn to practice with a big boss.

What's more, Xu Nian is just lazy, not stupid. After being exposed to it for such a long time, he also has some artistic ideas in him.

This is beyond doubt.

Fortunately, nothing will always go wrong. As time goes by, the two people's ideas gradually begin to converge.

Then bits and pieces of impressions are pieced together.

Finally, Xu Nian's version of "The Ordinary Road" was formed, and then it was recorded...

…………

"Finally it's done!" After recording "The Ordinary Road", Xu Nian lay directly on the floor of the recording studio and muttered to himself while looking at the ceiling.

"Once you've finished this song, the rest will be much easier..."

Yes……

The last song is simpler.

Because the last song has already been defined, I have to choose a Hokkien song.

After defining the scope, Xu Nian could think of very, very few.

One day, I suddenly thought of an extremely classic old song...

"If you love to fight, you will win"

Just the title of the song made Lin Jianian adopt the opinion without saying a word.

As for whether Xu Nian can come up with better ideas to improve the song, it is not within Lin Jianian's consideration.

For example, at the moment, Lin Jianian said bluntly: "I believe in your ability and you will definitely not let me down."

"As long as you finish this song as soon as possible, I'll give you a surprise."

"It's not rare." Xu Nian was also very direct, "What surprises do I need now? Is there anything I don't have?"

Lin Jianian: "..."

She wanted to say one versus two.

But thinking about it carefully, I didn't seem to have the ability to convince Zhang Yawei, so I gave up.

"Pack up and leave, let's go to the Hokkien speaking area." Xu Nian greeted directly.

"I don't want to spend another minute in this shitty place again!"

Although this was Xu Nian's first time in this city, he never wanted to come again.

So speechless!

Of course, Lin Jia Nian had no objection. He simply packed up and left for Fujian immediately.

In fact, with the final song confirmed, all the songs for the new album have also been released.

They are:

"Thirty Thousand Feet", "Dusk", "Back to Back Hug", "Unromantic", "Maple Leaf", "Blue Lotus", "Jiangnan", "Can't Say Goodbye", "Excessive", "The Sea", " Only if you love to fight will you win", "The Ordinary Road"

Overall, the quality of the songs on this album is not as good as the previous one.

In the foreseeable future, sales volume will be difficult to surpass.

Xu Nian’s expected value is 5000 million.

I hope his popularity will be stronger.

.........

On November 11, Xu Nian and Lin Jianian came to a familiar city again and mingled with people who spoke more Hokkien.

Xu Nian did not hide this time.

Very generous.

Including Lin Jianian beside him.

They clearly told the outside world that they were collecting styles and working on a new Hokkien song.

Naturally, it became a hot search.

But it is incomparable to the hot scenes in the past. Netizens gradually became calm and no longer so excited.

Although...he is Xu Nian.

Compared to the torture I suffered while recording "The Ordinary Road", the recording of the song "Love to Fight Will Win" can be described as smooth.

It took about three days for Xu Nian to walk into the recording studio and start recording.

To be honest, Xu Nian has heard this song since he was a child.

There's an almost sudden familiarity to it.

It's easy to hum that tune.

"When you lose your ambition for a moment, you can't help but sigh..."

The beginning of this song raises all expectations, and you will become familiar with it as soon as you listen to it.

The most classic among them is...

"Life can be compared to the waves on the sea, sometimes they rise and sometimes they fall..."

Xu Nian's perception of life is exactly the same. He always believes that there are no waves that only rise but never fall, and there is no life that is always smooth.

It was probably this fit that made Xu Nian's recording so smooth.
