Chapter 249: The Loneliness of a Genius (Ask for Subscription)

At the beginning of March, the Japanese album and the Korean album were released at the same time, and both single discs each had an R&B-style song, but neither was the main song, and the main theme was still the kind of soft-paced love song, which is also a genre that has been flourishing for a long time, and the audience is also the largest.

The reason why he released R&B's songs is to test the reaction of the market and prepare for future operations, and the second is to exercise his own grasp of this genre and better adapt to this. R&B is a type of rap music, and a better experience of it is also conducive to his better understanding of the most popular music styles in the black world.

The last Japanese single disc "Letter" because of the martial arts incident, although it is now considered a time pass, it still has not reached one million, and it has been almost two months, and there is a big gap between this previous expectations.

Because there was not much time for publicity, the trips to Japan and South Korea combined were only five days, but this time there were no extraneous incidents, and the five-day journey was completed peacefully.

There is no unnecessary interruption, the effect is good, when I left Japan on the third day, the title song of the single disc "Just Love You" has quickly appeared on the major on-demand charts, and the sales of the album have reached the top of the Oricon chart early in this season when sales are relatively light, but the sales volume in one day is only more than 60,000 copies, which is not much worse than the previous best time when the sales were as high as more than 110,000.

Compared with the oricon record of 1.33 million sales a week in history and the highest sales of 300,000 a day, it is even more unattainable, which is the helplessness of the off-season, which is also the reason why the average singer is reluctant to choose to release the film in March and April, these two months can be described as a taboo for singers.

At the end of March, twenty days after the release of the Japanese and Korean albums, the Chinese album "Simple. Love came out ten months after the release of the last Chinese album.

This is a Chinese album that is also full of a large number of R&B songs, in addition to the most orthodox love songs such as "The Trouble of the Moon", it also includes Tao Zhe's "Love is Simple", "Melody", "Love Me or Him" and Chen Jin's own two songs "Fate is You" and "True Love" written by Chen Jin.

When it comes to the forerunner of the R&B genre, our first reaction is Jay, but in fact, the real forerunner is Tao Zhe, a genius, and if it comes to singing, this one is even more powerful than Jay.

Well, speaking of which, Jay's fans must spray me, angry, I didn't deny Jay's meaning, I also like some of his songs, and even, he is also very talented, but he can sing skills, he is really not so sharp. Hehe, Jay Lun is more handsome than Tao Zhe, there should be no doubt about this.

As for popularity, Tao Zhe is even worse, so, sometimes, it is not good singing to be able to explain something, just say the simplest analogy, I think everyone will not dispute this point - Jay and Eason Chan compare singing skills, everyone should know who wins, but Jay's record sales are always better than Eason Chan, of course, this is talking about the whole of Asia, not just Hong Kong!

The promotion of Chinese records is even more simple, Chen Jin flew to Taiwan for two days, and then quickly rushed back to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", this film has the last fight left, to say, this film is so slow, in addition to Tsui Hark's own more requirements, Chen Jin took on four plays at once, and other miscellaneous things, so that he did not have enough time to shoot is also one of the reasons.

Tsui Hark likes Chen Jin a lot, but he likes it, he can't bear this kind of thing, but he can't do anything about Chen Jin, even if he wants to get angry, he will block Shi Nansheng, in other words, this is the best critical time!

Just spanned to April, this scene was finally filmed, Chen Jin was relieved, and the sales of Chinese albums did not have much impact because of this season, but seemed to be what everyone had been looking forward to for a long time, and the initial craze was a little jaw-dropping.

However, Chen Jin's relief was also temporary, or he was able to sneak into the Cova Italian restaurant in Pacific Place that afternoon to drink tea, chat with Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian and Fa Ge and a few others, chat and have some snacks. On the second day of April Fool's Day, all the crew members of "Love Hotel" held a simple opening ceremony in the conference room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong.

The reason why I chose this hotel is that it has a history of more than 30 years, as it says in the script, it is also an ultra-luxury hotel, and at the same time, it is also a hotel that combines classical and modern, Eastern and Western cultures.

Perhaps, it is not as luxurious and famous as the Peninsula Hotel, but it is very popular, many super celebrities including former US President Nixon, Princess Diana, etc., love it here, and at the same time, he also has his own characteristics, he has the largest and most luxurious rooms in Hong Kong, with super comfortable balcony design, super good restaurants and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is very sincere, unlike the Peninsula Hotel, which has so many rules, the hotel only charges a symbolic fee, and fully supports Chen Jin's filming, and is even willing to provide daily food and drink for the crew for free.

Chen Jin is of course happy to have such cooperation from the hotel, after all, this is a TV series where many scenes take place in the hotel, if you ask them to ask for everything before the start of the Peninsula Hotel, and this and that are not allowed, etc., it will be really blind, for this, in return, Chen Jin will use the name of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel without changing a word.

"Love Hotel" is a very good modern fashion drama, especially in this era full of martial arts, love and hatred in the turbulent era of the thirties and forties, family grievances and other TV dramas, it seems so novel and beautiful!

Although there are not many scenes in "Love Hotel", most of them are carried out in the hotel, but the plot is attractive enough, it has some things about the details of hotel operations, including room service, catering service, etc., these things are not unusual in the future, but in this era of low information and industry transparency, it is very attractive.

People have curiosity, especially for the kind of high-end hotel, usually haven't been in, it's good to see, not to mention such a detailed shooting, there is really an immersive feeling, even if it is blowing water, this can be regarded as a fresh conversation, and commenting on the life of a big man is also a hobby of small citizens!

At the same time, he also has some information on business acquisitions, although intrigues, love and hatred will still appear, but the plot is some popular fashion in the future, and the concept of love is also full of modern and future young people's fashion thinking, which is all novel, and the current mainstream is completely different, however, he is not alternative for the sake of alternative, he has his mainstream style, which is the most important thing.

Such a good TV series, no wonder the senior management of wireless agreed to Chen Jin's request as soon as he saw the script, although Fa Ge didn't say it, but he still admired such a script in his heart, as for Wang Zuxian, she was even more happy, and said to Chen Jin coquettishly, she can finally make such a fashion drama, and it is such a good drama, in order to repay Chen Jin for his kindness to her, she coaxed Chen Jin to do a lot of bad things that she usually doesn't agree to do.

Since you want to shoot such a period drama well, you must have more elements of the times, and when it is broadcast on TV stations, you can have more topics and form different fashion topics and fashion elements, and correspondingly, it can also make the TV series have greater influence.

This is also why Chen Jin paid 20 million to make this movie, the costume props scene is a luxurious feast, Chen Jin did not hesitate to use the later popular fashion elements in this TV series.

A very simple change can have a very good effect, for example, men's suits, which are still popular with single or double-breasted, but Chen Jin used the most popular three-button suit later, the three-button suit is very close-fitting, and he doesn't want to be so loose and loose as a single button, and he can't show the man's figure at all, and the three-button suit looks more elegant, when Chen Jin took this suit to Fa Ge to try, Fa Ge immediately liked him, Wang Zuxian and Zhou Huimin also praised him.

Obviously, this is a fashion that will become popular, and it is also a topic and a trend that will form when TV dramas are broadcast in the future.

As a producer and producer, as well as the identity of most of the director, Chen Jin can make full use of his rights to carry out all this, which has been decided a long time ago, or in other words, the real director is just an assistant, usually assisting and guiding Chen Jin how to shoot this scene.

As a director and an actor again, Chen Jin can be regarded as having experienced that the director's job is not easy to do, the director has to do, there are too many things to think about, and the feeling of really doing it is really too different from watching it on the set, even if Chen Jin is smart, there are things that he has never sat down, and he really can't even think of it.

Fortunately, there was no role for him in the first two episodes, which finally gave him some time to study and adapt, and he entered the double-sided role as soon as possible, and his adaptation speed is always amazing.

After a week of filming, everything was on track, and after the day's work was completed, Fa Ge patted Chen Jin's shoulder with a smile and said mockingly: "You really look like a chameleon, if something comes into your hands, it seems that it can become your own." ”

Chen Jin just shrugged his shoulders and then pouted, "The loneliness of genius is not something that a mediocre and jealous guy like you can understand. ”
