HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 445 [445] English Second Album Selection Songs, Even a Cheater Would Get Goosebumps!

Fan Xiaopang also chatted with Qi Yuan about her recent work.

After gaining fame with "Bouquet", she got twenty or thirty endorsements, including a whole bunch of plant essence shampoos, skin creams and milk.

She's always been like this; as long as the product quality is fine, she'll accept any endorsement, big or small.

If Qi Yuan remembered correctly, this woman had 130 endorsement contracts at her peak, making her a true workaholic.

As the company's boss, Qi Yuan wished he had more employees like this.

With his 20 or 30 endorsements, Fan Xiaopang earned tens of millions of yuan in endorsement income this year, before splitting the profits with his company.

After paying the taxes, she still received a considerable sum of money.

This has made female celebrities in the industry extremely envious.

Fan Bingbing's "My Sassy Girl" has become a hit again, and her endorsement income will become even more outrageous.

Previously, Fan Xiaopang mostly sought endorsements from down-to-earth everyday consumer products, but now he's getting offers from the fashion and home appliance industries.

Qi Yuan's advice to her was to stay calm and make the most of the success of "My Sassy Girl" before making any further moves.

In her past life, that troublesome South Korean actress became famous throughout Asia thanks to this film. The following year, she went to China and secured a multi-million dollar endorsement deal, breaking the record for South Korean stars' endorsement fees in China.

Fan Xiaopang has captured her luck, and with the added boost of "Bouquet," he's bound to surpass her.

Fan Xiaopang was already happy enough about his own success, but unfortunately, his old rival Zhao Yanzi recently suffered a setback.

Just this month, Zhao Yanzi's magazine promotional photos taken in the United States this summer were exposed by the media, instantly causing an uproar online, with netizens across the country condemning her.

Under pressure, Zhao Yanzi publicly apologized to the people of the whole country through a program interview a few days ago.

This incident severely damaged Zhao Yanzi's reputation, forcing her to reduce her activities to avoid further backlash.

"You wouldn't actually be Ziwei Star, would you? Why did she have to have an accident during the release of my movie of all times?"

Even Fan Xiaopang found it amazing.

Qi Yuan: "..."

He wanted to say that Fan Xiaopang was overthinking things; what did this have to do with him? In his previous life, Zhao Yanzi also had an accident around this time.

However, Wang Jing's decision to release "My Sassy Girl" during this time period seems somewhat coincidental, perhaps due in part to good luck.

In short, the movie was a success, the arch-rival suffered, and the series of good things made Fan Xiaopang extremely happy.

Judging from her expression, she genuinely believed that Qi Yuan had brought her good luck.

It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't!

Fan Xiaopang then actively reciprocated by thanking Qi Yuan, his lucky star. Qi Yuan sat on the sofa watching TV, and she slowly lowered her head...

……

The next day.

Qi Yuan and Zhang Hao discussed his second major in English.

"You can rest assured about the Grammys' public relations. President Zhou flew to the United States twice to talk with the headquarters, where they have hired the most professional public relations team."

Coca-Cola and Volkswagen will also lend a hand, and with your successful bid for the Olympics and China's entry into the WTO, you're guaranteed at least one or two gramophone trophies.

Zhang Hao said confidently.

Qi Yuan nodded. He decided to leave the Grammys to Warner Bros., as Warner Bros. wouldn't be careless when it came to their interests.

Qi Yuan is currently focused on her second major in English. The Grammy Awards will be held on February 27, 2002, which is about three months later.

To maximize the benefits of their second English album, the best option is to release it within a month of the Grammy Awards, reaping the rewards of the awards. Qi Yuan has already written the tracklist for the second English album, which, as he previously stated, will primarily feature rock and R&B.

This album continues Qi Yuan's naming style for English albums, which is simple and clear: it's called "24".

The core concept is the psychological journey and emotional changes of a young person pursuing their dreams.

This young man stood on the complex edge of success and collapse, hope and despair, noise and loneliness.

First, the album's first song, which is also the opening declaration, is Menglong's "Natural," establishing the strong stance of the survival of the fittest and the born king.

The second song, "Counting Stars" by the Republic, continues the theme of striving, struggling between ideals and reality.

Because of this song, the Republic Band was jokingly called the "Star-Counting Band" by Chinese netizens, which shows how popular the song was.

The third song, also Imagine Dragons' "Believer," transforms pain into strength and is the emotional outburst.

The fourth song, "The Phoenix," which defeats the boy, follows the previous one and symbolizes rebirth from the ashes, full of a fighting spirit.

The fifth song, "Happy," is the theme song for "Rush 2." It's a joyful anthem often referred to as the second national anthem of France. It's a perfect song to celebrate success after hard work.

The sixth The Weeknd's dark R&B hit, "The Hills," showcases the loneliness, indulgence, and self-loss that come with fame.

The above six songs make up side A of the album, telling the story of a born king who struggles and rebels, achieves success, and finally loses himself.

The A-side of this album is already amazing.

The second English album is an important album for Qi Yuan to establish his status as a global superstar and king of pop. He will definitely go all out in terms of energy.

Let's move on to side B of the album.

They are Linkin Park's "Numb".

Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love".

Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You".

Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez's "We Don't Talk Anymore".

Sasha Alex Sloan's "Dancing With Your Ghost".

The second side delves into the inner world, exploring numbness, pain, and reflection, and finally concludes with reconciliation.

Apart from "Happy", the other ten songs on this album are all new songs.

Qi Yuan is very satisfied with his song selection; his second English album is no weaker than his first.

No Western superstar could be as extravagant as him, managing to cram so many hit songs into a single album.

Seeing Qi Yuan's confidence, Zhang Hao knew the songs would be of high quality, and he reminded him.

"You already have eleven songs, why not add one more to make it twelve? Your first album didn't have an extra song version, adding one more song could sell for a few more dollars!"

When Qi Yuan was producing his first English album, the unscrupulous Warner Music tried to persuade him to add one or two more songs to create an extra-song version and make a fortune in US dollars.

If Qi Yuan is too lazy to write it himself, they can hire professional lyricists and composers to do it for him.

Qi Yuan refused at the time, feeling that the ten songs on his first album were already quite balanced and there was no need to add more songs.

This time, he was somewhat tempted, because the album's A-side could easily include Usher's number one single "Yeah!" without disrupting the balance of the A-side.

After sending Zhang Hao away, Qi Yuan wrote "Yeah!", completing the twelfth song.

If an opponent were to release this album, even Qi Yuan, a player with an extraordinary talent, would be terrified!

If nothing unexpected happens, it should bring a wave of shock from the East to the Western music scene!
