Chapter 194 Eighteen Levels of Hell Wind New Album

The casting auditions for "Shaobao" are in full swing.

This also let many people know: Jiang Yan is going to start a TV series.

This matter is naturally welcomed in the eyes of fans.

After all, as fans, to put it mildly, idols’ poop smells good.

But many people in the industry see it differently.

As a popular singer, it’s reasonable for Jiang Yan to play a role, but why should he directly start working on a TV series?

From a professional perspective, they are naturally not optimistic about it.

As the screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs", you are very powerful, but that is a movie, which is very different from a TV series.

In addition, you can just cast Bao Qingtian, but cast a young Bao Qingtian. The actors are all young people and there are not many veteran actors. Can the quality be guaranteed?

So it’s just the fans who pay for it, right?

Then someone said that Jiang Yan had changed and he was starting to lose money.

In this regard, Jiang Yan felt that such a sound was normal.

After all, TV dramas are still in a stage of drastic change.

"Returning the Pearl" is a good start, and there will be more and more dramas similar to this youth idol style in the future.

But now is the era when 98 and 98 intersect.

It is true that "Returning the Pearl" is very popular, but the industry's view of "Returning the Pearl" is actually still a "case-by-case" attitude.

As for the youth idol trend, we have to wait until the terrifying ratings of more than 70% of "Return of the Pearl 2" come out before everyone will really understand that this is a trend.

Therefore, Jiang Yan, as a popular singer, gathered a group of young people before "Return of the Pearl 2" came out to make a TV series with a costume theme and obvious adaptation meaning. Except for fans, most people in the industry were

Not optimistic.

Such negative comments became more and more frequent as the auditions for "Shaobao" continued.

Is Jiang Yan under pressure? There is definitely a little pressure. He is afraid that public opinion will affect the review.

However, the leader of Lantai said that there was no problem, so Jiang Yan completely let go of his thoughts.

As for public opinion, he simply responded: Everything will depend on the work.

Therefore, the outside discussion about "Shaobao" has so far been considered within the normal range, and will only explode when the work is released.

So many people felt that Jiang Yan was holding his breath.

I stopped doing music, and all my thoughts were on making TV series, preparing to put those noises in the face.

Because of this, many friends called me.

The general meaning is to encourage and cheer.

Among them, Jia Jingwen even said that she would come to help him, and any role would be fine.

Jiang Yan said thank you for the kindness, but forget it this time. When the drama starts next time, I will let you be the heroine.

Jia Jingwen asked if the heroine this time is your rumored girlfriend Zhou Zhiruo?

Jiang Yan said no.

Jia Jingwen didn't know what to think after hearing this, but she hung up the phone happily.

In addition to her, Jin Qiaoqiao also called, but her purpose was obvious. She asked if she could get a role. Jiang Yan was on business, so he said he would come for an audition, and then nothing happened.

Then there were many people calling. Yu Feihong came up and asked why she wasn't given a role or whether she was a friend. Jiang Yan had to beg for mercy and said he would try to arrange one. Yu Feihong then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Jiang Yan was very touched, they were all friends.

But it was a pity that Zeng Li didn't call, and Jiang Yan felt a little disappointed.

Of course, in addition to these, there is someone who comes to urge for updates, and that is Zhou Jianhui.

.......

"I understand what you are thinking. I hold my breath and prove to the whole world that this is correct."

Zhou Jianhui advised, "But your main job is as a singer. We agreed in the contract that the first album will be released in March, but in this situation, is it too late?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "It's too late, don't worry!"

After a few words, Zhou Jianhui was fooled.

Is your main job a singer? That’s just to fool you.

Otherwise, can you get the film resources of the company behind you?

Besides, it’s just an album, how big a deal it is for him!

So Jiang Yan didn't worry much about it.

However, the next day, he saw Zhou Jianhui in Warehouse No. 1.

Zhou Jianhui came up and advised: "My dear Mr. Jiang, my life and fortune are all on you!"

Zhou Jianhui is indeed aggrieved.

After signing the contract, Jiang Yan directly transformed into a salted fish.

This salted fish refers to the salted fish in the music industry.

Jiang Yan pushed for various brand collaborations that were agreed upon.

The reason is also very strong, we have to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Jianhui is happy to see this happen. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is the largest stage in the country. If Jiang Yan can go up and roar, it will greatly increase his popularity.

So for Jiang Yan's "Salted Fish", he previously expressed considerable support, but just reminded him not to forget to write songs.

But now, he is actually working on a TV series!

This is not doing your job properly!

And it hurt his feelings!

So Zhou Jianhui was angry and anxious.

Of course, this alone would not make him come to the door and cry directly.

Because in the music world, the situation Jiang Yan faces is actually not very good.

.......

By the end of 1998, Jiang Yan's last album "DNA" had sold over 3 million copies, becoming the sales champion in the Chinese music industry in 1998.

Ranking second is Renxianqi's "Love in the Pacific", with sales exceeding 1.6 million.

This result is hundreds of thousands lower than the original time and space. The reason is naturally because of Jiang Yan, who made the timing of his release coincide with Jiang Yan.

However, Ren Xianqi has an advantage, and that is the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, and most of the 1.6 million sales also come from the Bayan market. On the other hand, Jiang Yan's sales in the Bayan market are almost non-existent.

Pirated discs, after all, Wheatfield is indeed much weaker than major record companies.

Therefore, judging from the genuine sales data, Jiang Yan’s suppression of Ren Xianqi is actually not that big.

However, everyone in the industry knows that after Jiang Yan cooperates with Warner, Ren Xianqi will not be so lucky next year.

Equally lucky was Yehenala.

Yehenala's "Conquest" has annual sales of more than 1.6 million.

She was lucky that the song was released in April, and she didn't know where Jiang Yan was at that time.

So we have dodged a disaster, but it will be hard to say next year.

But Yehenala is not stupid after all. She has already communicated with Jiang Yan that she will stagger him when she launches her new product next year.

However, Jiang Yan knew that in the original time and space, Yehenala's "Conquest" had exceeded 2 million, so it had little impact? They were overthinking it.

In addition, 1998 was actually considered the year of Queen of Heaven in the original time and space.

Because in addition to Ye Henala, there are also Li Wen whose two albums both exceeded one million, plus Wang Fei who performed well, and Peng Jiahui who became famous with one song, and later Gigi Leung, Cheng Huilin, etc., most of whom are famous

All are female singers.

However, it was also because of Jiang Yan's appearance that 1998 became the "Year of the King" in the industry.

Many people in the industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan are dissatisfied with the "Year of the Heavenly King".

When one person rises, he blocks the way of many people. Naturally, some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan will not feel comfortable.

So they started to rebel.

It is said that Jiang Yan, as a Chinese pop singer, has not sold well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so his achievements are all false.

This is just a stupid duck talking too hard.

Regarding the clamor of these clowns, the first person to sneer was Zhou Jianhui of Warner Bros.

He has calculated the data himself. According to the analysis, if Jiang Yan's partner in 1998 had been changed from Wheatfield to Warner, then the sales volume of the 3 million albums would have been at least 1.5 million more!
