HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 346 [346] The industry is stunned when the song wins the championship!
12 month 20 day.

A highly influential domestic newspaper published an article that included a reporter's interview with Qi Yuan in the United States.

The content was so explicit and the remarks so explosive that they caused an uproar among fans and onlookers in China.

Some people in the industry and the media almost vomited blood when they saw it.

That's outrageous! How dare he?

In the past, which artist didn't try to please us? They even had to give us money during promotional periods, and even the most popular superstars were no exception.

When they can't stand being harassed by our paparazzi anymore, they might curse at them, or, if they have a bad temper, kick them a couple of times.

Qi Yuan is the first person in the Chinese music scene to dare to directly criticize the media.

The newspaper's editors all thought Qi Yuan had gone mad.

We live in the age of print media now. Aren't you afraid we'll smear you beyond recognition? Aren't you afraid we won't write about you and you won't be exposed?
Qi Yuan addressed this point in the interview, stating that he was truly not afraid.

Qi Yuan made it clear that even though he called them dogs, they still had to write his reports to make money, because people would only buy his newspapers and magazines if they wrote about him.

Damn! Utterly arrogant!

What's even more outrageous is that Qi Yuan was telling the truth.

Qi Yuan is the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene, and also the most successful Chinese singer to break into the US market.

Qi Yuan is currently at the very top of the top. Not to mention domestic media, even South Korean and Japanese media are scrambling to report on Qi Yuan's news.

Newspapers and magazines that write about wishing for good fortune sell very well.

At the end of the interview, Qi Yuan mentioned that he had written a new song in the United States these past few days, which he dedicated to his friends in China, and he hoped that everyone would listen to it when it was released.

In addition, Qi Yuan made a final request to the reporter that not a single word he had said should be changed.

"66666, succeeding in the US really makes a difference, that's tough!"

"Well said, some media outlets are dogs, I suggest they be investigated."

"Awesome! Qi Yuan not only criticized the domestic media, but also the American media. Even Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie wouldn't dare to do that, right?"

"I was indifferent to Qi Yuan before, but after reading this interview, I decided to become his new fan."

……

Taiwan Warner.

Zhou Jianhui was somewhat surprised by the opinions people had gathered about Qi Yuan.

To be honest, he was a little worried at first, as there had never been such a tough artist in the industry before.

He now realizes that Qi Yuan's criticism of the media has not only failed to lower his public image, but has actually improved it, and his fans have become more loyal.

Young people, especially, whether in mainland China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong, overwhelmingly support Qi Yuan.

Whether young people are still in school or have entered the workforce, they are still in the growth stage and are in a vulnerable position.

They must abide by school rules at school, follow their parents' arrangements at home, and abide by social rules when they enter society.

Qi Yuan, a young man of similar age to them, did what they wanted to do but dared not, or what they were unable to do.

This kind of protest against the media satisfies young people's natural aversion to convention.

Countless young people became fans, boosting Qi Yuan's record sales and box office revenue.

Originally, "The Bouquet" had already stalled at the domestic box office, earning only tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan a day, and was not far from being taken off the screens.

After Qi Yuan's scathing criticism of the media was published, the next day, the daily box office of "Bouquet" in mainland China rose to more than two million yuan, and it was approaching the 90 million yuan mark. Breaking the 100 million yuan mark was not impossible.

People in the industry were shocked.

Feng Xiaogang, hailed as the most commercially successful director in mainland China, was dumbfounded by this move. Is this any sense of reason? Can attacking the media really boost box office? Is "The Bouquet" really going to break 100 million?

His film "A Sigh," released in September, only grossed a little over 30 million at the box office. Qi Yuan and Chen Kaige's film outperformed his three films in one.
No, if you include overseas markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, it's one film that can rival ten.

This makes Huayi Brothers hesitant to claim that Feng Xiaogang is the best commercial film director in mainland China.

It's all Qi Yuan's fault! Why did you have to meddle? Didn't Chen Kaige ask you to direct a TV series? Why didn't you just do it? Why did you have to write a movie script out of your own whim?

If "The Bouquet" really does gross over 100 million yuan, then it will be the uncrowned king of the mainland box office this year.

Many organizations have been organized to watch and learn from "Life and Death Choice".

"The Bouquet" relied entirely on real audiences to push its box office to 100 million yuan, which will definitely boost confidence in the mainland film market.

Master Han hurriedly called Chen Kaige and Fan Xiaopang back from Japan, determined to get the film's box office to 100 million even if it meant running themselves ragged.

Qi Yuan? Third Master Han doesn't plan to call Qi Yuan back.

Qi Yuan is performing at various venues in the United States, and with no big-name singers to stop him, he is planning to launch a number one single.

If Qi Yuan succeeds, he will have made history once again.

A Chinese singer released an English song that outperformed all the European and American musicians of the same period, winning the number one single.

In 2000, it was no exaggeration to say that this was a great honor for the country.

……

After Chen Kaige returned to the mainland, the production team of "The Bouquet" released a report claiming that the total box office in Asia had exceeded 3 million yuan in order to boost the box office.

The country is in an uproar again.

"Holy crap! That's incredible! I remember Qi Yuan was called the '100 Million Yuan Male Lead' in 'Infernal Affairs' earlier this year, which grossed over 100 million yuan at the box office in mainland China and Hong Kong. In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan has become the '300 Million Yuan Male Lead'? And Fan Binbin has gone from a maid to a '300 Million Yuan Box Office Female Lead'?"

"Where are those two princesses' fans? Come out and say something."

"Was I the only one who thought Fan Binbin was prettier than the other two? I've always been confused as to why everyone calls her a maid. I suddenly remembered a story: King Wei was very handsome, but the man holding the knife by his bedside was a true hero. As it turns out, my judgment was correct."

……

These comments from netizens really pleased Fan Xiaopang.

Well said, very well said. She secretly replied to those who spoke up for her by opening a new account on Tianya.

It's a pity that online payment isn't available, otherwise Fan Xiaopang would have transferred the money. One yuan per item, absolutely no credit.

At the same time that "Bouquet" was gaining popularity at the box office in mainland China, Qi Yuan, who was in the United States, once again stunned Warner Bros., or more accurately, the entire industry.

"You're Beautiful" reached number 1 on the German pop music charts, number 1 on the Canadian music charts, and number 1 on the Australian charts.

Sugar ranked 7th in the UK, 4th in Canada, 2nd in Australia, and 4th in France.

"Baby" ranked 3rd in the UK, 5th in France, and 2nd in Canada.

The worst part was that on December 21st, the US Billboard charts were updated again.

"You're Beautiful" has climbed to number one, officially becoming the number one single.

"Sugar" came in second place, with Qi Yuan taking both the first and second place.

"Baby" climbed to fifth place.

Qi Yuan occupied three of the top ten spots on the list of the top 100.

The entire European and American industry was stunned.

You released a small EP and got a number one single, with three songs in the top ten of the charts. If you were asked to release a full-length album, would you want to fly to the sky?
Also, I heard that Chrissy released her first English EP, and she's considered a newcomer in the Western music scene? Whose newcomer is that amazing?
