Verse 460: Airborne
USA Today is here again.
As a hot news nowadays, the follow-up to the official announcement of "Avatar" naturally affects the hearts of many people and is also the object of public attention.
Now that the matter will soon have a follow-up, USA Today will naturally not let it go, and immediately followed up and reported on the matter.
ββ¦β¦ Different from the traditional way, Shen Huan took a special way of responding, and he wrote a song for ...... 'If you don't believe it, just see', it can be seen that the star from China has a very strong confidence in his films...... So the question is, is he a singer or a director, or an actor, is Hollywood ushering in another Thompson?......"
Thompson Slater is a well-known star in the United States, known for his talent, has great attainments and achievements in screenwriting, directing, music, etc., and is also a famous playboy in Hollywood, and has emotional disputes with many female stars.
If you want to pick one from the entire American star, and you can only choose one "talent", then most people believe that they will choose Thompson.
"USA Today" compares Shen Huan to Thompson here, which is very face-saving, and naturally, this is also related to the style of "USA Today" - unlike the traditional three major newspapers, "USA Today", which has the largest circulation, is younger, bolder, and more civilian.
In addition, there is also a part of the role of capital behind it.
Meigao Pictures took the lead in investing in manufacturing costs of 1.1 billion yuan, and it was not stingy in publicity.
The promotion cost of "Avatar" was finally set at 1.5 billion yuan.
This is a rather scary number, but it is a must for Avatar, which is positioned in the global market and faces a lot of resistance.
And the current "Shen Huan incident" is the first step in the propaganda offensive, and the most important thing is that the investment in propaganda expenses in this regard will naturally not be stingy.
In addition to "USA Today," the three traditional newspapers also made special reports on this incident, and under the propaganda of several major newspapers, the people of the United States should know about this incident.
This is the traditional print media in the United States, on the Internet, the use of funds is more efficient, and major websites have reported on this matter, so be sure to send the news to everyone. In addition, in other markets around the world, the global propaganda team did not eat dry, and in various countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, the news was promoted and popularized.
At the same time, professional music media such as RS also made special reports on "UPTOWN FUNK".
It was in this hot media atmosphere that the second week's Billboard data came out.
β¦β¦
Billboard is an authoritative music chart magazine in the United States, founded in the 19th century, with a history of more than 100 years.
At the beginning of the publication, the Billboard was not called this name, and the content was not mainly about music introductions and rehearsals, but mainly about state events, carnivals, festivals, and entertainment performances. Over the course of more than 100 years, as the record industry grew, the focus of Billboard's business shifted to the point where it eventually became a weekly music magazine, which is what it is today.
Billboard with a long history, the selected songs are by no means ambiguous, and songs without some influence will never be selected into its list, which has great social credibility. Therefore, Billboard is also considered to be the most authoritative single chart in the pop music scene in the United States and even in Europe and the United States.
With the development of the times, the statistical method of billboard song ranking is constantly changing, for example, the number of online downloads is becoming an increasingly important part of the billboard statistical system, but what has not changed is the authority of the billboard in the eyes of the public.
The songs they pick out at the top of the rankings will always make the audience feel "it really is".
This time, after the Billboard was released, it was a surprise that people were surprised, and the reason for the surprise was the first place.
Billboard HOT 100, the first place of the week, "UPTOWN FUNK", from Chinese singer Shen Huan, is on the list number 1 week, and the first place is airborne in the first week......
If it had been placed a week ago, the American public would have been arguing and felt that the billboard would no longer have credibility.
The phenomenon of being airborne first in the first week is not very rare on the billboard, but a Chinese singer who was unknown in the United States and knew about it at all, landed first directly after the song was released, which makes people feel that it is not shady.
Even now, a week later, the public is still shocked to see this ranking, and you can imagine how amazing this ranking is. But after many people were surprised, they soon had the feeling of "it is true".
Yes, this is not a simple song, but combined with hot news events, it is an important part of it. Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, this hot song has been widely reported in the media for a week, played on the radio, and is everywhere on the Internet. After all, the song ranking of Billboard has never been judged only from the perspective of musicality: radio downloads, media playbacks, Internet downloads, which now account for an increasing proportion of the rating system, and media data, etc., are the judging criteria for Billboard.
The Billboard rankings have always been the most popular songs, and they are voted by the people, not the official selections such as the songs with the highest musicality.
From this point of view, it is only normal for "UPTOWN FUNK" to be airborne first in the first week.
Moreover, this song is indeed very good, and many European and American people have been brainwashed by the phrase "if you don't believe it, just watch it".
And the release of Billboard's new weekly magazine has also made many people who have not heard or know this song begin to understand this song and understand this name from China.

iTus is a built-in APP on the iPhone released by Blueberry, which is a music software on which you can listen to and download songs, and at the same time, iTus also has its own chart list to recommend high-quality music resources to users.
In this era that has entered the mobile Internet, iTus is the most used music APP by European and American users, accounting for a large share of Internet music, and its network download list is another more authoritative list, basically the ranking on the list, but also represents the current popular trend in the pop music scene.
Chen Wanxian also often finds some new songs to listen to on it.
On iTus, differentiated list subdivisions have also been made, such as European and American lists, Chinese lists, Japanese and Korean lists, and unified global lists.
MANY IHPONE USERS IN HUAGUO, MOST OF THEM USE THE CHINESE CHARTS TO FIND SONGS, BUT A SMALL NUMBER OF THEM WILL ALSO GO TO OTHER LISTS, SUCH AS CHEN WANXIAN.
She often looks at the European and American charts to see if there are any good new songs in foreign languages, especially after Shen Huan fell silent, many of her new songs on the song list were found in the European and American lists, and today she is the same, and came to the European and American lists to look for them to see if there are any new songs on the list.
Then she really saw a new name in the first three.
"UPTOWN FUNK" is currently ranked third in iTus's European and American download rankings.
This is a completely unfamiliar name, and Chen Wanxian is sure that the last time she came to look for songs, she had not seen this name in the top ten or even the top twenty. From this point of view, this should be a new song that is booming quickly.
With such a jump speed, it can basically be concluded that it is a new song launched by a certain big name in Europe and the United States, but I don't know which big name launched the new song......
Chen Wanxian thought so, looked at the singer's name under the song title, and then was stunned.
Shen Huanγ
In a group of European and American names, this pinyin name is really a bit confusing, and because it is not in the form of Chinese characters, Chen Wanxian couldn't react at once.
