China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 619 Shenxian Qian became famous and exported to domestic sales in North America
It's actually very simple for a singer to suddenly become famous.

One hit song is enough.

Just like Uncle Psy, his song "Gangnam Style" made him popular all over the world in an instant and became the most famous singer in the world.

Maybe this example is a little outrageous. Looking at the history of world pop music, if you count on your fingers, there are really only a handful of songs that can become popular in every country around the world with just one song.

As the old saying goes, it requires the right time, right place and right people, all three are indispensable. The ancestral grave must also be on fire, just emitting smoke is not enough.

With a hit song, it is relatively easy to break out in a single market.

On average, every year in the North American music scene, several singers suddenly become popular because of a certain single, and then take the world by storm.

For example, Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend", Justin Bieber's "Baby", Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", Adele's "Rolling In The Deep", Taylor Swift's "Love Story", etc. wait wait wait.

These are all very common things.

But now, this good thing has hit Liu Yifei's head.

Under the operation of Sun Yi and Warner, the single "Salt" quickly became popular in North America in less than a week. With more than one million weekly sales, it not only broke into the iTunes North American single sales list of the top ten, and there is a strong trend of spreading to the world.

After all, in Western countries, everything in the United States is the benchmark. Conquering the North American market is equivalent to conquering the entire world.

When Warner saw this scene, he couldn't sit still.

I originally thought that Liu Yifei was also a well-known actor and singer in China, although there was a high possibility that she would not be acclimatized in the United States.

But if there is no date and there is no date, if you hit one shot, she will become it.

They had nothing to lose anyway.

But I never expected that Liu Yifei not only succeeded, but also achieved such results that even the most optimistic producers within Warner could not imagine.

Warner also made a prompt decision and directly added fuel to the fire.

After getting the consent of Liu Yifei and Sun Yi, Xiao Nizi sang "stay here forever" and "Walk Thru Fire" in the trailer of "Pacific Rim" as a gimmick to give back to the fans, and sold them at half price. It is once again available on streaming media platforms such as iTunes.

At the same time, he used his influence on traditional platforms such as radio stations and print media to promote Liu Yifei more extensively.

At one time, Liu Yifei's sweet singing voice was everywhere on more than 100 well-known radio stations across the United States.

The major media also reported on her one after another.

In the second week after "Salt" was released, it directly topped the B singles chart.

The B list, also commonly known as the "Billboard" list, is the most valuable music list in North America. The specific ranking is determined by the sum of record sales in the country and the number of times singles are broadcast on the radio.

Liu Yifei's "Salt" directly landed in the top 50 of the singles chart, and then continued to climb up by several places every day.

At the same time, on YouTube, the number of views on the MV for "Salt" also exceeded 10 million, making it the most popular MV in the entire decade so far, ranking first on YouTube's music channel click list.

Don’t underestimate the number of 50 million, which is different from the hundreds of millions and billions of hits on popular videos on the domestic Internet.

That was contributed by hundreds of millions of netizens in China.
How many people are there in the United States? Counting them all together, they are not more than half the number of netizens in China.

The name Crystal was instantly popular on the Internet in North America.

Her information and photos, past film and television posters, fashion covers, various film and television works she has appeared in, and even the homepage of Domestic Renren Weibo appear frequently on the North American Internet.

She was quickly known to the general audience in North America, and her popularity even surpassed that of Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.

One of them has won various film and television awards in Europe, and the other has starred in the Chinese-language movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with a box office of over 100 million in North America. They are still well-known in the minds of Hollywood professionals.

But from the perspective of ordinary viewers, the two of them are a bit boring, and it is difficult to leave a deep impression on everyone.

Nothing else.

Just not pretty enough
As we all know, in this world, men love beautiful women and women love handsome men. This is human nature.

On one piece, to be honest, Xiao Nizi is a bit foul.

This face of hers can really be beaten to excess.

This ultimate oriental beauty is at the top level even in Europe and the United States.

The great road leads to simplicity, and different roads lead to the same destination. This is the same aesthetically speaking, just like we can also accept the beauties from Europe and the United States.

Audrey Hepburn, Isabella Adjani, Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau, Anne Hathaway and so on.

Who would say they are not beautiful enough?
No~
Therefore, beauty knows no boundaries and race.

What's more, the extremely individual, free and uninhibited temperament Liu Yifei expresses in her songs is so explosive in today's North America that it would kill both men and women.

Because I haven’t seen it before~
He is obviously a girl, but he can be so handsome.

It's so unique and stylish.

Young people in North America absolutely love her.

Not only did they spontaneously form a fan group, they also took the initiative to collect all of her previous works, including the upcoming "Pacific Rim", and then spread it widely.

Now, the various identities of Liu Yifei, the heroine of "Shelter" two years ago, the heroine of the trailer some time ago, the Chinese female lead of "Inception", and the new North American diva, are finally in the eyes of North American fans. The eyes blended together and became her unique label in the minds of fans.

Immediately afterwards, fans started to go crazy for Amway and started making tap water.

Even the popularity of "Pacific Rim" has increased by several levels.

For a time, "Pacific Rim", a Sino-US co-production, became the most anticipated movie among young movie fans in North America.

The effect was good and far exceeded Sun Yi's expectations.

It was obviously promoted in North America, but the effect was spread back to China.

The entire export is converted to domestic sales.

The domestic media were confused.

The two also met the public at the premiere of "Beijing Meets Seattle".

It hasn’t even been a month yet, so why have you become the new North American diva?

Thanks to the now very developed Internet, Liu Yifei's movements in North America were immediately transmitted back to China with only a delay of two or three days.

Along with this, there are also the song "Salt" and the related MV, as well as the related hot comments about Liu Yifei from mainstream North American musicians who have been translated by interested people.

This time, the country is also in a state of shock.

The promised national goddess turned out to be a peerless enchantress.

However, it is true that it makes my heart itch even more after seeing it.

Domestic fans once again took to Xiao Nizi's Weibo account. In addition to congratulating and praising her, they all wanted to kill Sun Yi.

"Sun Gou, return the fairy sister to me."

"In this life, if I don't kill Sun Gou, I swear I won't be a human being!"

"The hatred of seizing my wife hurts me~~~~"

Compared with the verbal and verbal criticism of Sun Yi by netizens and fans, many people in the industry have lingering fears for him.

Not only is this thing causing trouble in China, it can also cause such a big scene in the United States. A director who is not good at filming, but still plays music, he can play as he pleases, and he can casually create a new little diva.

How can they reason with this?

envy, jealousy, hate!

Regarding the verbal and written criticism from netizens, Sun Yi said that he was very unjust.

He doesn't favor one over the other at all.
When the "Trailer" was released in the United States, a version was also released in China.

The plots are similar, and are edited with the background story of the heroine Liu Yifei as the main perspective.

The only difference is that when the trailer was released in China, Sun Yi prepared a Mandarin song for the fans.

Liu Yifei sang "Broken Cocoon".

This song in the past life is the theme song of the 2020 version of the animation "Douluo Dalu". It is very passionate. The original singer Zhang Shaohan's singing has a feeling of passing through the clouds and directly hitting the soul, encouraging you to dare to tear open the barrier of darkness and welcome the light. arrival.

Now it is Liu Yifei who sings. Although her voice does not have as wide a range as Zhang Shaohan, and lacks some penetration and explosive power, it is more gentle.

Liu Yifei, who is only 24 years old, has a very sweet voice, not as mature as those after thirty years old. When she opens her mouth, her voice is gentle and crisp, which makes people feel tingling.

When she sings this song, it is like a stream flowing through her soul, bringing warmth to the softest part of her heart. The climax of the song brings her personal emotions, her unhappy childhood, her bumpy road of interpretation, until she meets After seeing Sun Yi, I really felt like breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

The singing is equally beautiful.

But even so, domestic fans were not happy and said Sun Yi was partial.

Why is there a single in the United States in addition to the soundtrack of the trailer?
Why doesn't it exist in China?

They didn't even think about it, Xiao Nizi had already released two Mandarin albums, so that wasn't enough.

The heated public opinion storm in China has even reached the stars.

Some radical fans even came to Star Image's headquarters to protest.

When Sun Yi first heard the news, his jaw almost dropped.

Not so!

"Why not? The commotion you made in the United States this time is too big. Xiaowei is not doing anything anymore. The entire public relations department is wiping the two of you online every day."

Yang Fan teased Sun Yi on the overseas phone call.

He is now suffering from the irrationality of some radical fans, but he is also happy with the current popularity of "Pacific Rim" in China.

That's really impossible to beat anyone.

Huayi's investment in the promotion of "Tangshan Earthquake" has been increased one after another, all of which are real money, but the effect cannot be compared to "Pacific Rim".

These days, there has not been a single entertainment headline. Apart from Sun Yi's "Huan Tai", there is information about Liu Yifei in North America. A lot of money has been wasted.

"I said, it's almost time for you to come back here. It's never better to be too careful." Yang Fan advised on the phone.

"Don't worry, my focus is definitely still domestic, because this time it will be released overseas at the same time, so it must be promoted separately for the two major ticket markets of China and the United States. The United States will do pre-screening promotion, and the domestic run will be after-screening."

"Well, I'm just reminding you, just have an idea in mind."

Yang Fan finally chatted a few words about the company's current situation and then hung up the phone.

Sun Yi counted the days at the moment. July was about to pass halfway, and there were only about ten days left before "Huan Tai" was released in China. This meant that he could stay in the United States for a week at most, and then No matter what, you have to return to the country.

As for the separate promotion strategy for both sides before and after the screening, it was decided together by the entire company.

Taking into account that Sun Yi and Liu Yifei have a large fan base in China, the publicity before the movie is released does not necessarily require their physical presence.

During the release period, running a road show can completely achieve the publicity effect.

But in the United States, this is not possible. The film must be well-known before it is released.

Looking at it now, the effect of the publicity is beyond imagination.

Then, there is only one dedicated North American premiere left, and then it’s time to prepare to return home.

Just when Sun Yi was planning the next arrangement, a pair of fair and pink arms wrapped around Sun Yi's neck from behind, and Liu Yifei's unique body fragrance also followed.

"What are you thinking about?"

Sun Yi sat on the sofa and turned his head slightly, his eyes happened to meet the two attractive pink lips.

It's like taking a bite.
"Nothing, just planning the next arrangements."

"oh oh."

Liu Yifei nodded in understanding. When she was with Sun Yi, she never wasted her brain cells on plans, arrangements, and such things.

Let me do whatever I want.

The main character is a well-behaved and obedient person.

At this time, Liu Yifei suddenly supported his shoulders from behind, leaned forward, and looked at Sun Yi with her pretty face half sideways, completely ignoring that the little white rabbit on her chest had been squeezed out of shape by Sun Yi's shoulders. Biting his lip, he asked Sun Yi with a mean look:

"Brother, have you seen my Weibo homepage?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"So many fans are talking about you, it's really annoying."

Liu Yifei's eyebrows were arched and she seemed to be angry.

But no matter how you look at it, her expression has nothing to do with disgust.

Okay, this is meant to mock me.

Sun Yi felt like a mirror.

In the eyes of Xiao Nizi's fans, she is definitely not a good person, and can barely be considered a human being. The hatred of seizing his wife is not just talk.

However, those fans are so high and far away that I can’t control them. You are right in front of me. Isn’t it bad to be so presumptuous?
Sun Yi smiled lightly and asked back.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

While asking here, he was already ready to give Xiao Nizi some color.

"No, it's nothing." Liu Yifei quickly denied that she was smarter now, and the heroine didn't want to suffer the loss. She immediately changed the subject, pouted her lips and said coquettishly to Sun Yi: "The effect of the song is so good this time, I I haven’t thanked you yet, brother.”

As he said that, a pretty face came up to her.

"Husband, thank you, give me a kiss, mua~"

Hey, the routine has changed, but the end is the same.

Sun Yi pursed his lips and made a direct move.

"Ugh! You're just kidding~"

　Thanks to book friend 20230209221054727 for the reward, thank you boss.
