Chapter 184 Word of Mouth and Box Office Loss
.
"Three consecutive tyrants who are ahead of the world!"
"There is no song that can surpass you when you are in a horizontal sword!"
"Love of the World" is still an album with twelve songs, released together with "Love of the World", and two other songs! One is "Turning around and leaving only the back", and the other is "Capture Spring". The former is a love song, telling the fact that the speed gap between oneself and the loved one is so big, one walks fast and the other walks very slowly, and if you don't pay attention, you will only have your back to see it. This song is actually a description of the love of urban people, with a too fast pace. The latter song is a fast song, which uses spring to suggest love.
If you can be released in the first wave, these two songs are definitely not much different. Moreover, Chu Yue's songs are usually higher than those of other singers. These two songs are probably the first major feature in other people's albums.
In "The Only Back of Turning Back", Chu Yue did not use his own unique singing style, but sang the song in a nearly a cappella way. A kind of desolation, a kind of indifference, and a kind of rhythm difference was perfectly reflected in his singing. Lin Rui was indeed a very outstanding producer in this regard.
On the contrary, Lin Rui actually didn't pay much attention to the song "Capture Spring". He felt that the song was not as good as the previous one in terms of level. However, he also understood that the song "Capture Spring" was more catchy than the previous one.
As he expected, besides the "Translation of Love", which was praised as a shocking song, the remaining two songs, "Capture Spring" is indeed much more popular. On the contrary, "Calling the Back" is too difficult to sing and difficult to hear in the public's mouth because it is too difficult to sing. However, "Capture Spring" is different. This outstanding joy is easy to master and very brisk.
For a time, Chu Yue's song "Capture Spring" was sung by Chu Yue on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places and even Asia, and became another popular song. You can hear it almost everywhere you go, whether it is a record store or an ordinary store.
As the first mainstay, "Translation of Love" is extremely powerful. It was officially launched in one day and rose to the top three of the major rankings. Within three days, it officially completed its domination of major Chinese rankings. What's even more terrifying is that it can't stay in the championship position, and no song can surpass it. This song won the music chart for nine weeks. After losing the championship, it still lingered in the top ten for more than 40 days, reaching more than 100 days of listing time! It once again broke the previous record of Chu Yue's list!
What's even more terrifying is that the sales volume of the single "Translation" reached 9.1 million in the Chinese version, which means that if it is a single disc, then the sales volume of this single disc will be 9.1 million! This is a number that no one can imagine, a terrible number that has never been achieved in Asia. If it were not fully implemented, a new channel that can eliminate piracy in almost the next few years, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such a number. Even if it is executed, it is almost impossible to imagine such a number.
Nine million! Liyin Group was completely shocked. The Western music industry never thought that Asian music could reach such an amazing height. Of course, as a single, it was sold in the West for tens of millions. It was not difficult to change it ten years ago, but today it was also quite incredible sales. The voices that were dissatisfied with the group's senior management attaching importance to the Asian market and Jiasheng's importance to the attention of Jiasheng disappeared instantly, and no one could ignore this number!
Liyin was shocked, and the Asian music industry was even more shocking. Especially in the Chinese music industry, nine million was like a magnitude seven earthquake! The top singer’s single was only sold for one million yuan the year before yesterday, and Chu Yue’s “Fighting Movement” was only sold for one million yuan. In two years, nine flips happened. It turned out that the feeling of no pirated version was so beautiful, and the business without pirated version was so easy to do!
With the sales of nine million, the Asian music industry was full of food, and every company became crazy! From this moment on, excellent composers and lyricists became the most popular - Ya's Chu Yue can be so crazy with good songs, lyrics, and interpreted them well, so why can't we?
Only Jiasheng Company sneered. The number of nine million is indeed a bit surprised them, but they are confident that they can turn this number at least again in the next few years! Think about how many people there are in the mainland. Even if it is not considered a rural area with weak desire to buy, the purchasing power of the urban population alone will make people's eyes red! By then, it will be no problem to sell a song for 20 million to 30 million. Of course, the premise is that it must be a singer with corresponding influence and popularity, such as kevin!
Nine million, this is just the sales volume of the Chinese version! The English version is indeed not as good as Lin Rui's Chinese lyrics in terms of lyrics, but the impact is not too great. The English version sold 2.3 million in Asia - Japan accounted for 800,000!
With the rapid popularity of "Translation of Love", to be precise, this song was popular before it even came out. Now it is just relying on all the results to push the song to the extreme. After Liyin got the sales figures and reputation of "Translation of Love" in Asia for half a month, she confirmed that it was the most popular song in Asia this year, and immediately decided to hand it over to Liyin's distribution company in Europe to conduct the European market!
In September, "Translation of Love" officially landed in Europe and the United States. For this song, Liyin and Jiasheng spent a lot of money in Europe and the United States! Unfortunately, this song may not be popular immediately in Europe and the United States due to timeliness, but slowly sold it with reputation. So, it accidentally created a record for Chu Yue - eight months of sales, and the total sales volume in Europe and the United States exceeded 5 million! Unfortunately, it was only songs, not people!
A single has a global sales of more than 16 million! Is such a horror number really created by Asian singers? Is it really created by Chinese singers? When nine million Asian sales came out, a few Japanese media couldn't wait to praise Chu Yue as the number one singer in Asia - I don't quite understand why this statement comes from Japanese!
Lin Ling was so depressed that she felt that she had failed in negotiations for the first time and she lost too much! But this song "The Legend of Love" created a turnover of 40 million in Asia, almost approaching the price of an album by Chu Yue! This time, she lost too much!
However, no one knows that Chu Yue, who is now touted as the number one singer in Asia, has no creative feeling now, and he has made bad songs in his eyes! His inspiration for composition has been emptied. Is an empty space really worthy of the glory of the number one singer? If he doesn’t have a good work next, he will definitely be kicked off the altar!
Just as Chu Yue once again set off a music storm and was so red that it turned purple, what happened next caught everyone off guard!
In late September, "The King of Heroes" was released. Whether intentionally or not, Xie Junrong's new drama "Yangguan" directed and acted by himself was released at the same time! "The King of Heroes", which was not budgeted for re-filming, once again set a record for Chu Yue's single-day highest box office, reaching 5.3 million!
However, on the second day, the box office of "The Forbidden" quickly fell by half, only more than two million! On the third day, the drama was criticized by various film critics and media, and its reputation among the public quickly spread. It fell by one million again. The local box office of this drama ended up being only 12 million, the box office in the mainland barely exceeded 30 million, and the box office in Taiwan was only 15 million. It set a new low since Chu Yue played the male lead! The only thing that can be comforted is that the box office of this drama in Japan was lucky enough to reach 15 million US dollars.
The media is at a loss, the public is at a loss, fans are at a loss, and the film company is at a loss...
Just when Chu Yue became a star, he used the shocking song "Translation of Love" to shine on the road ahead.
Just when he once again consolidated his position as an Asian superstar with "Translation of Love" and shocked the world again. Just when he was crowned the number one singer in Asia.
His play actually set an unprecedented box office low, with extremely poor reviews!
Such results are almost a good result for any actor. Even if Hua Zai and the others get such results, they will not be too surprised.
However, Chu Yue is so popular now, and it is the most glorious moment. If anyone is in his current position, it is probably impossible to be so far away. So, what is wrong?
Faced with such achievements, the media became silent, the Light and Shadow Company was also silent, and fans were silent. In fact, everyone has a big question mark in their hearts. What happened?
What happened? Chu Yue knew very well that if Light and Shadow had been willing to add 20 million to make a resurgence, and don’t rush to determine the release date, then this drama would never be so bad!
Although he really didn't want to go to the theater to watch this drama, he went there to remember his painful lessons deeply! When he walked out of the theater, he was gloomy and had a black face. He had only one comment on his second directorial work: "I don't know what's up!"
"I still say the same thing, don't think too much, you can master it. If "Lost" can succeed, it proves that you are not lucky. It's just that you have taken the wrong path for a while, but as long as you see your position clearly and look back, no one can stop you!" Lin Ling sighed softly, not even knowing how to persuade Chu Yue.
Chu Yue reluctantly smiled at his muscles: "Don't worry, I'm fine. One blow will be a piercing me. I will definitely remake this movie if I have a chance in the future!"
Is it really okay? On this day, Chu Yue disappeared! The next day, Lin Ling, facing questions from thousands or hundreds of reporters, still gracefully gave the answer: "kevin needs to think about why he failed and why there is such a huge contrast. If everyone wants, then give him a peaceful space to think!"
The media is about to go crazy. At this critical moment, Chu Yue actually ran away like a coward! They also wanted to ask Chu Yue what he thinks about Xie Junrong's success. Yes, Xie Junrong picked up an unprecedented huge advantage. Chu Yue's new play aroused everyone's mood to watch the play, but it was ruined. People devoted their enthusiasm to "Yangguan" released at the same time!
However, this kind of drama "Yangguan" has a unique style and a bit European literary atmosphere, but there are also many local literary and artistic characteristics! There are no big stars, and the box office in the local area has reached 16 million and the box office in China has reached 80 million!
The most fatal thing is that "Yangguan" is like "Lost", which has received praise from most film critics, believing that Xie Junrong obviously has his own unique understanding and directorial ability in this regard.
Chu Yue's failure made Xie Junrong's success, one failed and the other succeeded. How could the media not know about such a wonderful comparison! And at this moment, Xie Junrong seemed to deliberately cross with Chu Yue. His new album was officially sold. His first main title "Shock Wave" was very powerful, which was hidden a bit when Chu Yue debuted in the music industry. "Shock Wave" and three other songs sold three million a week, and the sales volume was close to Chu Yue's second main title! For a time, Xie Junrong became the focus of all media in the few days when Chu Yue disappeared! He became famous overnight, although he was very famous. Especially Liu Jiachun, who was very familiar with Chu Yue, after fiddling with the information, he accidentally discovered that Xie Junrong's road to popularity was very similar to Chu Yue, but there were not so many twists and turns!
"Mr. Rong: The second kevin?"
Such a title is very eye-catching and exciting! It is indeed very similar. Xie Junrong is just because his family background is very good, so there is no such thing as Chu Yue being forced to be banned by the underworld. In addition to missing these twists and turns, Xie Junrong also has records and movies together - the movie is said to be invested by him, so I don’t know the records.
Chu Yue's first drama was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Xie Junrong won Best Newcomer in his first drama. Chu Yue's first record sold quite a first-line singer, while Xie Junrong's first record sold less a first-line singer. Moreover, the most similar thing is that both of them are both actors and singers and directors! The difference is that Xie Junrong should not be able to compose music, and his memory should not be as bad as Chu Yue!
In this comparison, the major media immediately rushed over like a dog that found a feces! For a moment, Xie Junrong was fired until he flew up, filling the gap of Chu Yue!
However, major media are still quite polite in the face of Chu Yue's miserable defeat in the new drama. Even if Chu Yue is a superstar, it may not necessarily prevent his own box office defeat. Moreover, this is only the second failure of Kevin's drama - the first time is "Dielianhua".
Therefore, in this case, although Xie Junrong is very outstanding, he is still far from enough for the media to exert his association ability. Even if he occasionally thinks about it, he will be kind and not to speculate. No matter what, Xie Junrong is a little proud of a rich child, which is obviously not something to please people. Especially compared with Chu Yue's affinity, Xie Junrong has almost never won the hearts of people in the media. What won the hearts of people is his money!
