Top-notch artist in entertainment

Chapter 675 Full album release
Two concerts in one week successfully received a lot of praise in the peninsula.

After leaving a huge reputation, Jiang Yuan got on the flight to Sakura and prepared to rehearse for the next stop of the Asian tour.

Arriving at Sakura Airport, Sakura fans have been looking forward to it since the official announcement of the concert.

After the announcement of the new song list of the Peninsula Concert two days ago and the online dissemination of several new songs on stage, everyone's expectations have been raised again.

The pick-up scene was also extremely welcoming.

After arriving at Sakura, in addition to rehearsing for the concert, Jiang Yuan spent more time filming the MV.

In line with the tour schedule, several MVs were set in the city of cherry blossoms.

During the process, Jiang Yuan also took the time to attend a brand endorsement dinner event.

In addition to Jiang Yuan's daily schedule, the release promotion of the album "Voice" is also going on in an orderly manner on the Internet.

The production of the entire album has actually been completed, and all the tracks from the album have been officially released online.

Even several individual killing part videos have tens of thousands of views on the Internet.

The promotion cycle is actually to coordinate with the release process and plan. After all, the printing and production of physical albums also takes a certain amount of time, including the post-production of the MV, which is still rushing to meet the final deadline.

Before Sakura's tour started, it was time to release photo posters.

In addition to photos of different looks at the concert, well-known photographers were also specially invited to take location shots.

Although it is not as massive as the previous English album and has a huge team of photographers to support it, compared with the visual shooting of other artist albums, it is still a dimensionality reduction blow.

"This is the latest pre-order sales, and "The Invisible Guest" is almost ready for release."

Two days before the start of the tour, Jiang Yuan rarely took time to sit in a coffee shop and order desserts to taste. Zhang Qing also reported on his recent achievements at this time.

Jiang Yuan himself has been paying attention to the sales of physical album pre-orders. After all, sales are related to the completion of the achievement task.

"It's exceeded two million!" Jiang Yuan was also quite happy after seeing the latest real-time data.

Although the world of records is still prosperous, it is still very impressive to achieve this figure in the pre-sale stage.

But such sales are definitely incomparable to Jiang Yuan’s last English album.

Although it may seem like a step back at first glance, the former's investment in all aspects of promotion and production can be regarded as the highest among Jiang Yuan's several albums.

Moreover, the audience of the album will be much wider, so it is also a normal situation.

"But after the sales officially start, the sales volume shouldn't increase too much." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Generally, people who buy albums after the pre-sale period are more likely to be influenced by the release of new songs.

But for this time's "Voice", it can be said that all the songs in the album have been announced in advance.

So those who paid for music have basically paid.

"But we still have a regular version that has not been officially launched yet." Zhang Qing reminded.

Although the two versions are only slightly different in terms of cover craftsmanship and album interior pages, never underestimate the appeal of this difference to fans.

"That's true." Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, and suddenly felt that there was still a lot of room for growth in sales.

Then looking at another important message, Jiang Yuan's domestic performances of the movie "The Invisible Guest" have ended since it was released during the Spring Festival.

It has been released for nearly three months, which is a relatively long release cycle.

During this period, I managed to survive one or two other relatively golden periods.

Recently, the film schedule and attendance have dropped significantly, so we are not planning to extend the release.

As of the time of release, the film's total global box office has successfully exceeded 2.4 billion, which is 200 million more than the 2.2 billion originally predicted by professional organizations.

The 200 million box office is a relatively solid long-tail effect in the later period, and it also benefits from the fact that the movie is quite popular in the global market.

Although the box office champion during the Spring Festival that year has nothing to do with Jiang Yuan and others, compared with the influence and popularity of the movie as well as word-of-mouth and other multi-dimensional data, "The Invisible Guest" can be said to be not bad at all.

It is even the only movie whose popularity abroad completely overshadows several other Spring Festival films.

Regarding the final data, after He Jing excitedly sent a message to Jiang Yuan, he also published a long article again to thank the fans and audiences for their support.

The box office of 2.4 billion can be regarded as a relatively complete result for the movie when it was released.

"In addition, the nomination list for the IMA Music Awards was also announced today. We have successfully been shortlisted for six major awards!" Zhang Qing continued to inform Jiang Yuan of the good news in an exciting tone.

"Oh?" Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

After hearing the news, I suddenly felt that the rainy season outside the window became a lot more refreshing.

The IMA Music Award is a relatively important award that Deng Ge and Jiang Yuan had previously popularized, and it can be regarded as a relatively high-value award worldwide.

According to Deng Ge's previous statement, being shortlisted for this award is a certain recognition, which means that Jiang Yuan's album released last year is qualified to be on the table.

"So there will be one more trip to attend the award ceremony next month." Zhang Qing added with a smile.

Although whether you can win the award or not is a matter of debate, being shortlisted is something that only a few people can achieve.

"There is a lot of discussion about the nomination of this harvest on the Internet now." After saying that, Zhang Qing showed Jiang Yuan the discussion interface of related topics.

The nomination list of the IMA Music Awards has attracted relatively high attention, and even many music bloggers have reposted related information.

Among them, Jiang Yuan was nominated for six major awards and has actually overshadowed many singers.

After all, the number of nominations is limited, and those who can be shortlisted are relatively well-known singers, or albums or tracks that received relatively high attention around the world last year.

Jiang Yuan also looked through the interface displayed by Zhang Qing and found that the discussion was indeed quite lively.

[With so many IMA nominations, is Jiang Yuan considered stable? 】

[It’s hard to say whether it will win or not, but being nominated for so many awards has already overwhelmed many singers, which shows that it is really popular and has high recognition! 】

[It feels normal, right? Jiang Yuan’s song last year was so powerful, and nothing beats it in terms of melody and smoothness. 】

[It’s officially on the table, but there may be an operation in which no prize is awarded in the end. 】【Anyway, we have won a lot. 】

【Get another award and recognition, and this album will be officially considered a god! 】

[Anyway, this nomination is really exciting! 】

-

The overall attention to the IMA nomination is still very high. Jiang Yuan, as the only domestic singer nominated for a pop album, is obviously highly anticipated.

"I guess the awards ceremony will be quite lively then." Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully after returning the equipment to Zhang Qing.

After all, the awards themselves attract a lot of attention, and with everyone's high expectations, there should be many people watching the live broadcast.

"Well, the brand contacted me as soon as I heard the nominations were announced. They said they had prepared several sets of clothes for us to choose from, so we could wear them to attend the event." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

As a spokesperson who has just been officially announced and whose contract will not expire for a long time, Jiang Yuan's salary from the brand is still very high.

For example, attendance at various large-scale events, including some of the costumes at concerts, has been arranged, and many high-end costumes are the first to be worn in the world.

"In addition, IMA is also in the process of communicating about performing at the awards ceremony." Zhang Qing continued.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and took a step back and said, even if he doesn't win the award, being able to perform at the award ceremony is still a stage that attracts a lot of attention. At least it won't be a waste of participation. There will still be a chance to win recognition. More of them.

After the topic about the IMA Music Awards came to an end, Zhang Qing quickly chatted with Jiang Yuan about "The Return of the Great Sage" and the previously scheduled Omega global signing event.

Mainly because the fields Jiang Yuan was involved in were relatively trivial, and Zhang Qing could not find a more suitable time to report.

As a result, the original afternoon tea leisure time eventually evolved into a work meeting.

But fortunately, except for the autograph session that has not yet started, basically all the work reports have been completed, and they basically sound like good news.

In addition, Jiang Yuan only listened, so his mood was not ruined.

After "Your Name", the post-production work of another previously invested project is finally almost completed, and it is also targeting another upcoming popular schedule.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look forward to the possibility of the movie being released in the summer season. After all, many box office legends were created during the summer season, and the potential of the film is not necessarily worse than the Spring Festival season.

After the rare free time ended, another weekend arrived, and Jiang Yuan also started the Sakura tour in a fully loaded state.

The set list is basically the same as the Peninsula show, with only slight changes in order.

For example, the opening song was changed to "LOSER", etc. In addition, the Japanese versions of the three latest tracks released at Peninsula Station were also performed at the concert, which also fully surprised fans.

For Jiang Yuan, it was just a different version of the lyrics. Apart from the harmony, the accompaniment was basically the same, so no big changes were needed.

Peninsula officially announced the release of a new Korean album, and Sakura also gave a certain surprise. The Japanese versions of three new songs will also be released simultaneously in the form of digital EPs.

The Cherry Blossom Field tour was still hot, and Jiang Yuan was in full condition for two days in a row.

In addition, Haruka Arimura was invited as a guest to sing live, and the animation elements of "Your Name" were used as stage animation during the performance, which was also reported in the news as one of the highlights of the concert.

Similarly, after the performance at Sakura Station, Jiang Yuan did not stay too long. Instead, he continued to other Asian countries and carried out the tour schedule in an orderly manner according to the established itinerary. At the same time, he also lit up more chapters, tour map Becoming wider and wider.

The playlist of the Asia Tour is mainly composed of tracks in four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. However, following Sakura, there will be two consecutive stops. When traveling to other countries, Jiang Yuan will also learn a few words in the local language to start conversations.

Or they specially learn a pop music in the local language and perform it as a limited number, which fully demonstrates the sincerity of the performance.

Compared with the kind of singers who only say hello with two simple greetings when performing in other countries, sincerity is more fully highlighted and has become one of the key reports on the local tour.

After the fourth stop of the Asian tour, the release promotion for the album "Voice" has just ended, and it is the eve of the official release of the album.

On the eve of the album's release, it still had a relatively high level of attention on the Peninsula Internet.

However, after Jiang Yuan's last concert severely involved Peninsula Entertainment, it also suffered a certain amount of suppression.

For example, when "Voice" was officially released this time, many companies chose to let popular artists within their companies return to attack Jiang Yuan.

It even incited public opinion and caused some controversy.

For example, just the news that Jiang Yuan's album music participated in the Peninsula Song Competition voting has become a controversial post.

Because this time the entire album was released together, and there was a physical collaboration with a local entertainment company, I was able to participate in the sound source voting.

This is also the main reason why the rhythm is brought up.

After all, while Jiang Yuan is very popular on the peninsula, there are also many people who don't like him that much.

In addition, the general pattern of peninsula netizens is not very big, so a confrontational scene formed in the comment area for a while.

[Why do you still need to participate in the audio source voting? 】

[It’s just a Korean album. When promoting it, I won’t say that I am a representative of kpop. The songs are actually just like that. 】

[Although, with so many idols returning at the same time, you may not be able to win prizes even if you participate, right? 】

【ah? Are the previous comments serious? Besides you idols, Jiang Yuan doesn’t care about anyone in China, right? 】

[It’s so funny that you don’t worry about your idol’s performance when you say that songs are just like that. Let’s look at the list before talking. 】

[Xiba, why don’t you guys support local artist groups?]

[When talking about songs, just say whether you can sing, right? And you idols went to the concert yourself. 】

[See you on the list, Xiba will see who is Da Wu, the list will not lie. 】

-

Despite some minor controversies, Jiang Yuan's fan group is still very united. After all, he has just had two grand concerts and a new album, and his popularity is very stable.

However, this time all the major entertainment companies came together to suppress the music source, which also made the scene on the day when Jiang Yuan's new album was released very lively.

That morning, a lot of news related to the return of various idols came out.
