"Oh?"

The person in charge of the US side was surprised, "You mean, the rest of the songs are almost all made? So how long have you been making these songs?"

"Not long!"

Li Zhifan said lightly, "As of today, it's only been ten days!"

"More than a dozen ......"

The person in charge of the US side has repeatedly confirmed, "Day-or-Month?"

“Day！”

Li Zhifan smiled, "This cycle is probably the fastest production speed since I have been in the industry for so long." ”

"Oh my God, I'm going to apply for a world record for you!"

The person in charge of the US side asked, "If you apply for this EP, it will definitely make you more famous!"

"Really?"

Li Zhifan never thought about this problem, but the Americans in the video taught him another lesson, and sure enough, capitalism grew up differently.

……

With strong publicity and the help of listeners, "Baby" finally made it to the monthly chart of the month three days later.

In addition, it also won the first place on the download list of a smartphone music store.

At this time, Hua Na announced Li Zhifan's personal Irs on the official social platform, and also announced the release of the new EP, and "Baby", as the main hit of this EP, has already achieved a lot of results, and said that because the production cycle of this EP is only two and a half weeks, it will be used to apply for the world record.

Domestic.

After the release of "Baby", there was no publicity in China, but with the enthusiasm of Li Zhifan's domestic fans, this song still got several good list results.

Approaching the end of the year, there are a lot of singers who release new albums, all thinking about grabbing the first place.

"Baby" only won the fourteenth place on the first day of its launch, which is very bad in Li Zhifan's past results.

Many netizens also found out when they looked at the list that Li Zhifan had released a new English single.

But after just one day, it went straight to the fourth place, and it was as a paid song, and it got this ranking, the top three are all free songs, Li Zhifan wants to squeeze out the three, unless it is free to make it public, but this is unlikely in the short term.

As the performance of this song on the American Billboard is getting better and better day by day, domestic netizens are also extremely excited.

"Hit the top 10!"

"Haha, it's the third!"

"No. 1 on the monthly list!

"Look at the annual list, it appears in the 77th place, it's amazing!"

"I'm afraid it's no drama this year, it's the end of the year!"

"Is there a great god to guide me, how to listen to songs over the wall and contribute to the ranking?"

"This is the first time that a Chinese singer has won this result, right? The audience in the United States is crazy, saying that this is the biggest surprise at the end of this year, the biggest miracle list. ”

"Li Zhifan has successfully entered the American music scene, and there will inevitably be a good development in the future!"

"It's really an international superstar this time!"

"Listen to Hua Na on Irs, there is also an EP, "Baby" is just the first wave of the main hit, so look forward to it!"

“……”

November 12th.

Li Zhifan's first all-English EP released in the United States has been released.

There is no need for the word "finally" in this matter, because everything is developing so fast, it feels like it was decided yesterday, and the EP was released today.

This is slower to produce than a commercial for George Motors.

On the same day, Li Zhifan finished all the filming of George's car and rushed to the United States.

In this age of the Internet, there is no need to go on the street to promote EPs, and there is no physical one anyway, and purely digital albums only need to participate in a few online interviews.

For Americans, in fact, they have long been accustomed to the face of the East, around them, there are countless Asians, work partners, school classmates, also Asians, and mainly Chinese.

There are also many Chinese Americans in the American entertainment industry, but most of the people who can be famous are banana people, and outsiders will basically fail because of the lack of adaptation.

Of course, as hard-working, brave and willing Chinese, as long as they are willing to study the preferences of Americans, they will definitely gain their recognition, but for Chinese stars, it is too laborious to study these, obviously there is already a very high acting income in China, why do you want to please Americans?

Therefore, most of the people who go to the United States for development are filmmakers, and they are not to make money, but to gain higher popularity and greater influence, and they also have qualifications and resumes to talk about.

said that he came to the United States to promote, but in fact, Li Zhifan spent most of his time at home with Xiao Cherry and Zhou Ke, who was about to give birth.

"Yesterday I went to the doctor for a check-up, this time it could be twins!"

As soon as they met, Zhou Ke took out a report and handed it to Li Zhifan, if she didn't see this report, she still belonged to the kind of relatively calm mother of the second child, but after reading this report, it was difficult to hide her excitement and worry.

After all, they are twins, and they are different from when they were pregnant with little cherries before, she is even a little overwhelmed, and she really doesn't know how to deal with the arrival of these two little lives.

And the thought that there were about to be two more trick-or-treaters at home made my feelings even more complicated.

Pregnant women are in a very volatile mood, and Zhou Ke now has to receive psychological counseling every day, read some depressive books, and listen to some soothing light music to ensure that she adjusts her mentality.

On the other hand, Zhou Ke is still thinking about filming "Mulan" after production, and the current situation makes her worry that she can't let go for a while, so it will also affect her mood.

"Don't worry, you're the greatest mom in my heart!"

Li Zhifan comforted, "Time is very fast, it passes in the blink of an eye, maybe when you think of this mood again, the child in the belly is already as big as a little cherry." ”

"Your comforting words are not professional at all!"

Zhou Ke said with a smile, "I suggest you also go to see Dr. Lisa, her psychological counseling is still very effective, and she is a Chinese who can help you solve your troubles with fluent Chinese." ”

"I don't need to see a psychiatrist for any troubles!" Li Zhifan shook his head.

"Yes!" Zhou Ke said, "I think you have an anxiety disorder, otherwise why do you do things so fast? I heard that your new EP is going to apply for a world record? If they know that your previous album is also fast, and you make movies and TV series faster, I don't know what they will think." ”

"It's not an anxiety disorder, is it?"

Li Zhifan laughed, he is indeed very busy, but anxiety patients often procrastinate at work and can't concentrate, which is obviously inconsistent with Li Zhifan's state.

"What's that?"

Zhou Ke thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Next time I go to see Lisa, I'll help you ask." ”

"Don't ask!" Li Zhifan spread his hands, "Even if she thinks I have a problem in my heart, I won't look at it, besides, people are alive, who doesn't have any problems in their hearts? Including the Dr. Lisa you mentioned, there must be one!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Ke smiled slightly, no longer entangled in this topic.

……

After the launch of the new EP, Li Zhifan gained great attention in the United States.

The talk show hosts of many TV stations talked about Li Zhifan, and also said that he is likely to become a hot figure in the United States in the next few years.

And the other six songs in the EP also harvested the ears of listeners overnight.

In particular, the song "Poker-Face" climbed faster than the original "Baby", and the brainwashing effect wiped out all men, women and children, and actually surpassed "Baby" in a short period of time and won the monthly crown in November.

The adapted male version of "Poker-Face", although it is still electronic music, also uses electroacoustic instrumental music to add rock elements in the chorus, and Li Zhifan's singing voice has also become wild, and his voice has not changed, not that the hoarse voice must be wild, but the strength and momentum of the voice.

In addition to the singing part, the four parts of the EP, including composition, lyrics, arrangement, and production, are also written with Li Zhifan's name.

Probably only in terms of recording, post-production and copywriting, not Li Zhifan, as a result, the results of these parts have attracted countless big-name musicians in the American music industry.

"Oh!

"Oh my God! A Chinese musician? They are so good at learning that they almost capture the essence of pop music!"

"I'm afraid it's not just about learning, even if it's an American musician, how many of them can do so much independently? In my opinion, his talent is also unusually high, and it is estimated that it is the result of years of training in the Chinese music circle. ”

"I really want to work with him!"

"There's a song in his EP called "Rolling-In-The-Deep", you can listen to it, and I think it's the best of the whole EP. ”

"Oh, I prefer 'Shape-of-You', but I have to admit that Chinese musicians are still very advanced in the production of melody parts. ”

"I envy Ives, he can actually sing with Li Zhifan!"

"Similarly, what level was Ives before this? Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also followed another wave of fire!"

“……”

Domestic.

The name of this EP issued by Li Zhifan is "LI".

The cover of the whole EP is black, with the letters LI in red written in the middle, but the shape is somewhat like a capital U.

This time the release was publicized in China, but it was not as bombarded as before, but it was on the homepage of the major music platforms, and Timeline, Hua Na's official blog and Li Zhifan's personal blog also issued release notices.

In addition, any contact with the media to hype up or contact the propaganda company to hire a water army was not done.

Li Zhifan doesn't need these at all now, and in recent years, he has rarely spent so much money on publicity, and he will hype himself up in the first three years of his debut.

And this kind of propaganda technology is too low-level, it can be used in the early days of the Internet era, when netizens see more, they will know what is true, what is false, what is malicious hype to wash the floor, and what is really popular and powerful.

Li Zhifan's publicity action this time is much smaller than those star singers who also released albums at the end of the year, but the effect after the release of the EP is more sensational than those people, and it really caused a sensation among netizens.

"Li Zhifan also wrote such a song!"

"Oh my God, this rhythm, this melody, this production, it's properly international!"

""Closer" is so good, and Li Zhifan's harmony is really beautiful. ”

"It's still Li Zhifan's single-handed, and it's really single-handed, the lyrics and songs are all written by him, unlike some singers, who wrote two songs and three words in the album, and the nominal producer, I dare to say that I did it by myself, hehe!"

"There is too much of this kind of blowing, on the other hand, Li Zhifan's EP is unpretentious, you see how his copywriting is written?—— Li Zhifan, who loves music, was inspired by the inspiration when he came into contact with his peers in the American pop music scene during the production of "Dream Travel" in the United States, so there is such an EP. How low-key, how simple, I don't want some stars, Mingming's lyrics and songs are all professionals, not to say that he provided inspiration, and the songwriter wrote it according to his inspiration. ”

"Oh, when I saw the copywriting, I thought that "Dream Travel" is about to be released, and I haven't bought a ticket yet!"

"The tickets have been bought, but unfortunately there are too few films, and in our second-tier city, there are only three theaters to show them. ”

"Hehe, you're already very good, we only have one theater in our fourth-tier cities, and we have two shows a day. ”

“……”

I don't know if this EP will play a role in the domestic box office of "Dream Travel", but in North America, many people who have bought advance tickets for "Dream Travel" after listening to Li Zhifan's new EP, everyone wants to know how the animated film produced by this excellent musician is.

As a result, it can be seen from the box office networks of various colleges and universities that the attendance rate of "Dream Travel" has suddenly increased, exceeding 27%.

In the hearts of American audiences, there is not much awareness that "cartoons are just for children", and even those who have this kind of consciousness will position themselves as a child in their hearts.

The "Li Zhifan craze" spread from the United States to all of North America, and then to South America.

Then, the craze spread to all over Europe.

Britain was the first to fall.

Today, in 2021, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets more than a hundred years ago, and has become very much like China's little brother, so Chinese pop culture is very popular in the UK.

The "Li Zhifan craze" spread from Canada, a Commonwealth country, to the British mainland, because Li Zhifan is a Chinese, and the EP "LI" immediately shined.

Even the "Li Zhifan craze" was brought to the news program by the British BBC to talk about it, from the content of the program to the attitude of the host, it seems extremely flattering.

……

November 15th.

"Dream Travel" was finally released simultaneously in the United States, the Philippines, Croatia, Singapore, Canada, and Portugal, but because of the time difference, some were during the day and some at night.

Because it premiered in Mexico 20 days ago, many people have already seen the film and written a lot of touching movie reviews.

Some American critics, in order to know the content of the film in advance and make a judgment on the film before its release in the United States, went to Mexico to watch the movie one step earlier, but the feedback they brought back was that they used up two packs of tissues.

As a result, as long as the audience who pays attention to these critics knows to prepare tissues in advance - this has become an unofficial reminder and guide for watching the movie.
