Chapter 1026: Important Guest
Jason's new single was also officially released on June 1 on all major music platforms, and people had to spend $3 to download and listen to the song. In the first time it was launched, nearly 3 million people around the world bought the song, but then the growth rate gradually slowed down, and die-hard fans bought everything they should have bought, and the rest were passers-by who could or could not listen to it.
As Scott's previous pessimistic predictions, this time there were far fewer people paying than Jason when he released his last single the year before, everyone has already downloaded the pirated version, there is no need to spend extra money, isn't it delicious to eat a few pieces of barbecue for $3?
Scott said to Jason worriedly, "Hopefully option C will work." ”
Jason is much more optimistic than he is, he is reading the reviews of genuine users, "No matter how bad it is, isn't there more than 3 million people who have bought it? There were 10 million dollars in sales on the first day, which is good!"
"Oh my God, why are you so low in your self-esteem! Look at Warren (a male singer on the same level as Jason) who released a new single last month, he reached 700 million people on the first day of paying!"
"It's normal, he's younger than me, and he's really talented, I'm not going to be jealous of him, isn't there a big difference between 7 million and 3 million? Isn't it also millions, besides, you don't know that consumers now like younger fresh meat, and they can't gnaw on old cucumbers like me!"
Scott was speechless, "You can't rest on your laurels, or you'll be surpassed by other singers sooner or later." ”
"Transcendence is sooner or later, how can there be a myth of eternal fall? There will always be a day when people will die, and in another thirty years, the new audience may not even know who I am." ”
"Don't talk about those distant things, let's just look at the present, don't you want to compete for the billboard?"
"If I don't want to compete, where did I get Plan C? Isn't the physical single still on sale? I can't say who will have the last laugh," Jason sneered, "It's time, we should go to the club and call Amanda and the others too!"
Jason only announced the 20 audience places for the show, and the remaining 40 people, he and He Lushen split in half, and the employees of his recording studio were all able to attend, and he also invited some of his friends who had excellent friendships, such as Bang, and Scott invited several colleagues in the music industry, as well as entrepreneur friends.
He Lushen has invited a lot of big people here, he discussed carefully with Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe, and drew up a list of invitees, except for Maria's father and daughter, Tom and others who are used to repay favors, the other guests are all carefully considered. Yu Zhan first sent an invitation to the Micro brothers, who are now partners, and the Micro brothers have left New York, but readily agreed to be an audience.
This was also expected by Yu Zhan, who felt that the black-haired Mr. Harvey seemed to have a fascination with Chinese culture, and he said on the phone that the content of the performance was all Chinese elements, and the other party agreed without any hesitation.
It just so happened that Harvey also wanted to meet Liu Yan, and they hadn't talked about filming yet.
Yu Zhan also asked Li Xiaoru to invite Mr. Martin of the Juilliard School and several well-known professors in his own name. After Liu Yan arrived in the United States, she visited Mr. Martin in Julia, and she thanked Mr. Martin for taking care of Li Xiaoru. Mr. Martin wanted her to hold a small folk music concert at the school, but she was too busy to say yes immediately, and the person behind her was injured, and there was no way to mention it.
It's definitely unrealistic to talk about folk music concerts now, there are so many repertoire in one performance, how long it takes to prepare, Liu Yan has to hurry back to China after finishing the MV and prepare for the final exam, she still has a bunch of work to do in China! So Yu Zhan thought of inviting Mr. Martin to the scene to make up for this regret, and by the way, let Li Xiaoru please a good relationship among several professors and teachers, which will be beneficial to her later piano competition.
The professors also gave Li Xiaoru a lot of face, and didn't make excuses to say that they were busy - they were also really busy, but they were all willing to come and cheer for her. Of course, they may value Jason's status more than anything else, as well as Scott's alumni. The news introduced Cohen's resume, highlighting his experience studying at Juilliard, and some headlines were directly "How did the outstanding Juilliard graduates of the past fall to this?"
Ordinary people just watch the excitement, and they don't really think that Julia is a scum and it is a garbage school, but it is really embarrassing to lose face, otherwise why do many famous schools have a scandal, and the first thing to do is to suppress the news? Julia urgently needs a chance to quickly correct her name. At this time, they took a fancy to Li Xiaoru, if Li Xiaoru can become a blockbuster because of Jason's accompaniment, then can't the news headline become "Juilliard Exchange Student Becomes Jason's Most Effective Pianist"?
For example, even if Li Xiaoru wins a famous piano competition, it will not occupy much of a section in the news, let alone in the United States, even in China, it is impossible to make headlines, at most to a very small area, two sentences. Unless she does something unexpected at the piano competition, such as smashing the piano, or scolding the judges, it can really be a hit.
And what she is doing now is also a big thing, Jason has a super topicality, whoever rubs him is popular. She is just one step away from the Busoni Piano Competition.
He Lushen invited several Internet celebrities who are very popular in the United States today, including singing, makeup, cooking, and funny, each with tens of millions of fans on YouTube, ins and other social platforms.
His point of view has not changed, hype is the best way to publicize, Internet celebrities are the best publicity medium in these years, their traffic is no worse than that of celebrities, but the shelf is not as big as celebrities, as long as they give money, the task is not illegal, let them do anything. Their task at the performance site is super simple, which is to show their faces as much as possible, and by the way, just post a few status messages on the Internet and write a few words of praise. Such a cool job, and being able to meet Jason Harmer up close, wouldn't be a fool not to agree.
In addition, He Lushen also wanted to invite Katie, the host of Katie's talk show, and her husband, who was suddenly inspired after answering Maria's call, Katie and her team actually helped him indirectly, if it weren't for the influence of the show, he wouldn't have been released on bail so soon. Katie's husband is also one of the members of the behind-the-scenes team of the show, the popularity of the two of them is no worse than that of celebrities, and the appeal is even more terrifying.
I just don't know if Katie wants to participate.
He Lushen didn't look for Maria again, got Katie's phone through other channels, and called her in person to ask her, with a consultative tone.
