Chapter 275: The East Is Not Bright, The West Is Bright?
On the morning of the third day after the recording, outside the No. 1 conference room of Allure Entertainment, all the employees were outside the glass door layer after layer, everyone's face was full of excitement and curiosity and a hint of pride, but the strange thing is that it is now work time, but no executive came to reprimand them.
The cause of this strange incident has to start from a document three days ago, Ye Tilt received an interview request from the New York Times after recording because of love, and after confirming the authenticity of the interview fax document, Ye Tilt asked Lu Rongchu to send a message to the New York Times newspaper on the other side of the ocean according to the phone number on the document.
Through this transatlantic phone call, Ye Qian finally understood the motivation for the New York Times to interview him, it turned out that the song AS long as you love me he recorded last year became popular in Europe and the United States, and it was not an ordinary fire, according to Robin, the senior editor who was in charge of the interview with him opposite, his current AS long as you love me has been viewed more than a billion times on YouTube, which means that almost all Americans have heard his song if you convert it purely by population.
FOR SUCH A PLAYBACK, YE TILT'S FIRST REACTION WAS CONFUSED, AND HIS SECOND REACTION WAS STILL CONFUSED, WHEN HE FIRST RECORDED THIS SONG, HE SIMPLY WANTED TO SING AN ENGLISH SONG TO TEST THE WATER IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES, SO HE DID NOT CARRY OUT SPECIAL PROMOTION AND PUBLICITY FOR THIS SONG, AND BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND RAP ELEMENTS IN THIS SONG, HE DIDN'T EVEN RELEASE THIS SONG LOCALLY IN HUAGUO, BUT HE JUST ASKED CAO YANG TO OPEN A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT AND UPLOAD THE SONG, BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT THE SONG HE VALUED THE LEAST BECAME HIS FIRST WORK WITH MORE THAN 1 BILLION PLAYBACKS, AND ACHIEVED ONE BILLION ON YOUTUBE IN HIS MEMORY, THE SONG WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VIEWS ON YOUTUBE SHOULD BE THE JIANGNAN STYLE THAT WILL COME OUT AFTER 3 YEARS, THIS SONG IS THE FIRST MUSIC WORK IN HUMAN HISTORY THAT IS TRULY POPULAR ALL OVER THE WORLD, UNDER THE DEMONIC VOICE OF UNCLE BIRD, WHETHER IT IS THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OR THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, WHO HAS NOT DANCED THE HORSE DANCE ON THE TOP? THIS FIRST DIVINE COMEDY IN HISTORY HAS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 5.51 BILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE, WHICH SHOWS THAT AS Of course, if it weren't for such exaggerated results, the New York Times, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, probably wouldn't have traveled across the ocean to interview him, a Chinese.
After an hour of telephone exchange, Ye Tian agreed to the New York Times' interview request, no way, in order to conquer the European and American entertainment circles, Ye Tian must first adapt to it, and the New York Times is the best tool to open his popularity in Europe and the United States.
The New York Times, formerly known as the New York Daily Times, was founded in 1851, and was changed to the New York Times on September 14, 1857.
At the end of the phone call, the two sides agreed to conduct a formal interview three days later, and the reason why all the employees of Allure Entertainment were so excited was naturally because the New York Times Robin and his party had arrived in Allure, although they could not hear what was being said in the conference room, but it did not hinder the curiosity and enthusiasm of these young employees.
"Mr. Ye is too good, isn't it! Even Americans have come to interview him?"
The New York Times, this is the New York Times, not an ordinary small newspaper, this newspaper's influence and status in the United States are similar to that of our country's Guangming Daily."
"Damn, so awesome?" exclaimed the people who were watching around, they only knew that it was a reporter from the United States, but they didn't expect it to be such a newspaper
The man who spoke obviously knew a lot about the American newspaper industry, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were on him at this moment, especially when he saw the girl he had always had a crush on also looking at him curiously, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and vanity prompted him to continue to speak: " Of course, there are three major newspapers in the United States, namely the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, in terms of influence, status and authority, they can correspond to our country's People's Daily, Guangming Daily and Huaguo Daily.
"Yes, if you think about it, I haven't heard of any singer in our country who has been interviewed by the three major newspapers in the United States, and as for the recognition of music works by the mainstream in the United States, it seems that there is no such thing."
A female employee from the human resources department nodded and said: "That's right, after all, we have a big cultural difference with the United States, we like to listen to it, Lao Mei doesn't necessarily like it, it's not easy for our country's songs to be popular in the United States, but Mr. Ye can actually get mainstream recognition, I can't believe it, there is no influential Chinese singer in the United States now, but there are a few actors."
Everyone else also nodded in agreement, all along, I can only hear that American singers are highly sought after in China, and I have never seen anyone who has reported that Chinese singers have responded in the United States, and now influential Chinese artists in the American entertainment industry are also concentrated in kung fu actors, like Brother Chenglong, Li Lianjie are such outstanding representatives, but there is no singer.
......
While everyone was still whispering about Chinese and American singers, the preparations for the interview in the conference room were almost completed.
"Then Mr. Ye, let's officially start the interview now?" asked Robin, a senior editor of the New York Times who was about 40 years old and looked like a typical American, while sitting across from Ye Tian.
Hearing this sentence in English, Ye Qian nodded with a smile and replied, "OK"
After getting Ye Tilt's affirmation, Robin started his interview process in front of the camera, maybe because this is an introduction before the interview, so his speech speed is very fast, but Ye Tilt's English skills are very good, so although the speed of speech is very fast, Ye Tilt can still roughly understand the content of his words, which probably means that what he is interviewing now is the mysterious "qing", and then introduced Ye Tilt's identity and basic information to the American audience.
AS FOR WHY IT'S CALLED QING, THERE IS A LITTLE STORY FULL OF DRAMA, WHEN CAO YANG CREATED A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT, HE ONLY WROTE SUCH A LETTER IN THE ID COLUMN, PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEARNED PINYIN CAN NATURALLY SEE THAT THIS IS A PINYIN WORD WHEN THEY SEE THESE FOUR LETTERS, AND PEOPLE WHO KNOW YE TILT CAN NATURALLY SEE THAT THIS IS THE PINYIN COMBINATION OF THE WORD TILT IN YE TILT'S NAME, CAO YANG DID THINK SO AT THE BEGINNING, TAKING QING AS YE TILT, BUT AMERICANS HAVE NEVER LEARNED PINYIN, SO IN AS LONG AS After the song You Love Me exploded, the excited and curious American people wanted to see who sang the song, and found that the singer column was written with the four letters "q", "i", "n" and "g", and they couldn't read what the name was, and then they were even more surprised and collapsed in the composition of the song, and the two columns of the lyrics were also written "q", "i", "n", "g" With these four letters, the curious American people will certainly not let go of other clues, so they began to look for other information, but the later results made them completely speechless, because in As long as you love There is no one in the post-production list of the song they know, even if they search Google and Yahoo, they can't find anyone's name, and it's really hard for the American people, but who made Ye Tian and Cao Yang and all the employees of the music production department have English names?
It took Robin five minutes to finish the opening of the interview, and the long foreshadowing time was enough to see how special the name qing is in the United States right now.
"Okay, tilt, please say hello to the fans and friends in the United States first"
Ye Tian smiled confidently at the camera, and then said in fluent English: "HI, American fans and friends, hello, I am As long as you love me, first of all, thank you very much for As long as you love." I love this song, thank you for your support, and I know that because the name I left on YOUTUBE has made you guys have troubled, so now please allow me to make a formal self-introduction, my name is Ye Tilt, you can call me Tilt ......"
......
The interview went very smoothly, Robin's questions were very interesting, and Ye Tian also answered very well, but because of the limitations of the communication technology of the times, this was not a live broadcast, but a recorded broadcast, according to the New York Times, they needed to take advantage of the opportunity of the first interview with Ye Tian by the American media to make the sales of the New York Times reach a new peak, for these, Ye Tian did not have any ideas, and he and Allure Entertainment did not expect to be popular in the United States with a song, so they did not establish any propaganda agencies in the United States in advance, plus Ye Tian They do not know much about the entertainment industry and national conditions in the United States, so Ye Tian signed a two-year publicity brokerage contract with the New York Times, which roughly means that all the publicity of Ye Tian in the United States in the next two years will be taken care of by the New York Times, as for why the two sides only signed a two-year contract, there are naturally their own considerations.
For the New York Times, Ye Tian is a foreign singer who suddenly became popular, no matter how many he sang in China, but in the United States, he only has such a masterpiece as AS long as you love me, who dares to guarantee that he is not a flash in the pan? In addition, there is no precedent for a Chinese singer to be truly crowned a god in the United States, so they naturally will not bet on Ye Tilt in one go, two years can not only allow them to enjoy the dividends brought by Ye Tilt's popularity, but also ensure that they will not sign a burden with no future.
For Ye Tian, two years is also a very suitable time, first of all, the sudden explosion in the United States was indeed unexpected, he did not make any follow-up preparations, but now that he has become popular, then he must not miss this golden opportunity, after all, although he still has a lot of English songs that will become popular in the future, no one can guarantee that he will be able to explode again like this time, so if he can take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the European and American music circles, he must not miss it, but it is not so simple to completely gain a foothold, and the follow-up publicity must keep up in time, otherwise his current popularity will only slowly dissipate, so he decided to cooperate with the New York Times, let them do the current promotion and publicity for themselves, but he didn't want to hand over his propaganda brokerage contract in the United States to the New York Times forever, Ye Tian is confident that he can establish his own media network in the United States in two years, after all, outsiders will always be outsiders, and it is most secure to take the contract involving himself.
