Huo Xiwen on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect Lin Zhimo to answer like this, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lin Zhimo was joking with himself, and said angrily: "I can't help you, let me tell you, your album sales have started to grow again!" ”

Lin Zhimo raised his eyebrows, knowing that the increase that he could get Huo Xiwen to call to tell him that it must be a relatively large amount, so he asked, "Oh, what's going on?" It's already the end of the month. ”

Huo Xiwen did not directly pick it out, but said: "Because the 'super access' is broadcast." ”

Lin Zhimo had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked, "The impact of reversing the earth?" ”

“bingo！ Answer is correct! None of us thought that this song would be so popular with young people. Huo Xiwen said with some sighs, "It's a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity." ”

Lin Zhimo also sighed a little, if he knew that this song would be so popular with young people, Lin Zhimo would have sung "Reverse Earth" a few more times in the previous book signing meetings and variety show interviews, and now it is too late to regret it, there are already a lot of pirated CDs on the market, even if the sales growth may not be too much.

Lin Zhimo was mentally prepared and asked casually: "How much has the sales increased?" ”

Huo Xiwen sighed and said, "It's not too much growth...... It's only 300,000! ”

Lin Zhimo didn't have a good breath, he was stuck in his throat and coughed vigorously, and only after a long time did he ask in Huo Xiwen's giggles: "It's not much?!" Sister Wen, your heart is too big! ”

Huo Xiwen smiled: "Who told you to joke with me just now!" ”

As a qualified agent, he began to investigate the cause as soon as Lin Zhimo's album sales began to grow abnormally a few days ago, until today's investigation results came out, showing that Lin Zhimo's performance in the "Super Interview" played a great role as a catalyst.

In "Super Interview", Lin Zhimo's promotion of this album is to sing this song "Reverse Earth" whose audience is teenagers.

The age of Lin Zhimo's music audience Huo Xiwen has long been clear.

The main audience of Lin Zhimo's first album is those in their thirties and forties, who have strong purchasing power and are willing to buy genuine albums; Therefore, when creating the second album, Lin Zhimo's purpose was very clear, that is, to consolidate the middle-aged group while taking into account some young people who also have purchasing power.

Most of these young people have just entered college, or those who have just entered the workplace not long after graduating from college, they have too many fantasies about the future, and at the same time they will contribute to the music they like, so in response to this situation, Lin Zhimo has created many inspirational songs about the future and dreams in this album.

In fact, the sales volume during this period proved that Lin Zhimo's strategy was successful.

Some people may say that this album is not much worse than the sales of the first album? But don't forget, Lin Zhimo's first album was actually a coincidence, because a large part of that album was stained with the light of the ratings fire of Huanzhu Gege to achieve such dazzling results.

At the beginning, if it only relied on traditional publicity methods, and did not have the influence of Zhu Gege, it would have been quite good for an album to sell one million, after all, the people who buy music are mainly young people under the age of 30, in other words, the legend of Lin Zhimo's first album cannot be replicated, and it is caused by the combined effect of various external factors.

As for the song "Inverting the Earth", Lin Zhimo is more of an attempt in the style of music, as for whether ordinary people accept it, Lin Zhimo does not have much hope for it, even if the fans like it, but after all, they are teenagers, and their purchasing power will not be much...... All in all, at that time, the two agreed that they were not optimistic about the prospects of the song, so they did not put much effort into publicity.

But now the increase of 300,000 records proves that Lin Zhimo and Huo Xiwen's original estimates are all wrong! They underestimate not only the Chinese's ability to accept new things, but also the purchasing power of young people in this age group.

However, Lin Zhimo only recovered after being annoyed, things are already like this, and it is useless to regret it. So he continued to ask, "Sister Wen, what is the second good news you want to say?" ”

Huo Xiwen said playfully: "The second good news is that I sold you and Zhang Ziyi in a package. ”

"Sell?" Lin Zhimo was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he and Zhang Ziyi should be involved in the production of the same movie, and asked directly: "Which director's play is it?" ”

Huo Xiwen said softly: "Li An." ”

Lin Zhimo's breath stagnated.

Li An, a world-renowned director. In 1992, he directed his first film, "Pushing Hands", and brought it to the screen. This is a comedy that reflects the generation gap and cultural differences in the lives of a New York islander, and the film was nominated for eight awards including Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, and won the Special Jury Prize for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director. In addition, the film also won the Best Film Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

In 1993, he produced his second film "The Wedding Banquet". The film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Best Director at the Seattle Film Festival, and was nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In his hometown of Treasure Island, the film won the 30th Treasure Island Golden Horse Award for Best Work, Director and Screenwriter Awards, and the Best Work Award for Audience Voting.

Since then, Li An's reputation in the international film and television industry has skyrocketed, and he has jumped into the ranks of world-renowned directors in one fell swoop.

In 1994, he filmed "Eating Men and Women". The film was once again nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and also won the Best Work and Best Editing Awards at the 39th Asia-Pacific Film Festival, the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 77th David Griffith Awards, and won the Reading Power Production Award and the Outstanding Work Award at the 7th Taipei Film Awards.

In 1995 he directed his first English-language film, Sense and Sensibility. Based on Jane Austen's novel "Sense and Sensibility", written by Emma Thompson, the film's heroine, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including an Academy Award for Best Picture, which won the Oscar for "Best Adapted Screenplay", the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and several British Academy Awards.

The success of "Sense and Sensibility" made Li An famous in the international film and television industry, and as a result, he entered the ranks of Hollywood A-list directors.

In 1997, Li An began adapting Rick Moody's novel "The Ice Storm", which eventually won the "Best Screenplay" award at the Cannes Film Festival.

And now I have the opportunity to participate in the film of this international director?

Lin Zhimo stabilized his mind and asked, "Sister Wen, what type of movie is this, and what role am I going to audition for?" ”

Huo Xiwen said with a smile: "The movie is called 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', and it is a martial arts film. You're giving your mother a helping hand this time and playing a supporting role. ”

Lin Zhimo still felt a little regretful that he couldn't get the opportunity to play the leading role, but he quickly came back to his senses, he knew that his current achievements were mainly based on a TV series in Huanzhu Gege, and the movie "My Father and Mother" had not yet been released, so that his reputation as a musical talent is now louder than that of an actor.

However, no matter what aspect of fame, these achievements are not worth mentioning in front of Li An, Lin Zhimo corrected his mentality and asked, "Sister Wen, how is Ziyi?" ”

Huo Xiwen said: "Ziyi has passed the audition. She was blessed well, and after Zhang Yimou's recommendation, she got the opportunity to play the heroine, and finally won Director Li's approval...... I'm ashamed to say it, if it wasn't for Ziyi to mention it, I really didn't expect to fight for this opportunity for you. ”

Regarding Huo Xiwen's statement, Lin Zhimo didn't believe it at all. Didn't think to fight for yourself? How can it be! Huo Xiwen put a lot of effort into Lin Zhimo to get more opportunities to appear on camera, Lin Zhimo is clear.

So Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Wen, don't say good things for Ziyi, if you forget, who else will remember me in this world?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Lin Zhimo secretly regretted it, feeling that what he said was a little too ambiguous.

Sure enough, there was silence on Huo Xiwen's side, and just when Lin Zhimo couldn't help but want to apologize, Huo Xiwen's voice came in: "...... Zhimo, are you listening, the signal on my side is not good, hang up first! Then he hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Zhimo to react.

Listening to the sound of "beep" in the mobile phone, Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Sister Wen, shy is shy, but you haven't told me when you will go to the audition." ”

On the other side, Huo Xiwen's round and pretty cheeks were dyed red at this time, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, humming an unknown song softly, and briskly cleaning up the documents on the desktop.
