Chapter 259: Rave reviews
A week has passed, and the sales volume of the first week basically determines how much your total sales are, which is the data that everyone cares about, and Yang Lin is no exception. He has now returned to Hangzhou, and his next stop is his hometown, Jinhua, where he has lived for more than ten years.
He is now living in a hotel by the West Lake, he is now on the phone, a busy person, someone calls from time to time, and now he is chatting with Jay Chou.
"Is your album ready? I'm just waiting for your album right now to see if we can compare. Yang Lin stood on the windowsill, looking at the sparkling West Lake, and then looked up at the bright moon like a hook.
Jay Chou was sitting on the sofa watching the report about Yang Lin on TV. The media kept releasing news about Yang Lin, and the popularity of the album can be imagined.
"Hehe, it's still early, eight songs have been included, and three have already been recorded. I'm not as efficient as you. ”
Yang Lin put the phone next to his left ear, and he said with a smile: "My efficiency is high? Your quality is high, I didn't expect you to call me. What a surprise. ”
Jay Chou was also speechless, he didn't know what he thought, after seeing Yang Lin on TV, he wanted to ask him about sales, but he didn't expect to be forgotten by him. "Okay, finally ask about your sales, it should be six or seven hundred thousand now, right?" He was not worried that he would be surpassed by Yang Lin, which was almost impossible at this stage.
After all, Jay Chou's sales are not limited to China, he is the king of Asia, every album will be the focus, two or three million sales are not a problem, this is where his confidence lies, and the Asian sales champion for many years is not covered.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Lin returned to the house and looked at Zhang Qian, "How is it?" Is the final count out? No need to use my micro this time. Bo, right? ”
"Fortunately, 660,000, a very auspicious number." Zhang Qian smiled, "The other singers in the company were shocked, okay, now you are a veritable first brother." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm still far from my first brother, I can't take it seriously." Yang Lin waved his hand, "You don't want to go around preaching now, I don't want to be targeted." ”
"Hehe, Huayi has a sister, and now there is a brother, who dares to say that we are just divas. Palace's. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm going to watch the comments edited out by He Hong, she's really hard. When will you find a helper for her? Yang Lin waved his hand and walked towards the table.
On the table are the comments that He Hong took the time to collect specially collected, which are the most professional, with praise and disapproval, but they are still rave reviews.
Zhao Hanyi: This is an album that surprised me, just because of the song "Old Boy" in it, this should be the best song in recent years, Yang Lin is worthy of being a musical talent, and being able to create such a good song, not only me, but even my wife was moved when she heard it. This song is absolutely five stars. And the rest of the music on the album is not bad, there are three or four traditional urban love songs, all of which are of high quality, and the cover of "Sigh of Ease" is better than the original, which is the second highlight in my opinion. Yang Lin is very suitable for Chinese-style songs, which can be seen from his long temperament and timbre.
"Music Weekly": The appearance of Yang Lin has made up for the gap in the mainland music scene, he is a singer with great potential, and his good creative ability allows him to go further. He is the only person in the mainland who can compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan pop singers, after this album, Yang Lin's title is just around the corner, the future king of music! This album has a rating of 85, and there are not many amazing songs in it, but each song is of extremely high quality, and any one is the title song. The style of this album is a bit complex and changeable, and Yang Lin easily controlled it. In addition to "Old Boy", he and Liu Yifei's "Only Feel for You" is another highlight.
Tianfu Daily: The appearance of this album has made me seriously doubt Yang Lin's creative ability. He is a 21-year-old man, but he expresses in "Old Boy" the artistic conception that only mature people can understand, which is not something that a hairy young man can write. I suspect that Yang Lin was ghostwritten, but of course this is just speculation, not real evidence.
Southern Weekly Electronic Edition: We have witnessed Yang Lin's growth, will this be the next Jay Chou? Yang Lin has always been the focus of attention, we can often see Yang Lin in newspapers and on TV, he is a veritable king of scandals. But we can't deny his achievements in film, television, and even music. This album first went through various song selections and recordings, and was leaked and released ahead of schedule before it was released. All this did not affect his sales, and the pre-sale of 340,000 yuan was a satisfactory answer he handed over to us. The total sales of this album must have exceeded one million, and he is the only person in the mainland who has exceeded one million record sales after the new century, and he is destined to go down in history.
Liang Feng: The album rating ★★★★, the inclusion of songs seems to be a bit problematic, he is good at only one original Chinese-style song, and urban love songs account for a large proportion. "You Are Not Really Happy" in it seems to be a temptation for him, a temptation to other genres. I didn't play concept music, which was unique in the big trend and had a bit of a retro feel. Yang Lin showed his skillful singing skills in singing, and we heard a different Yang Lin. In the end, "Old Boy" is undoubtedly one of the highlights, it doesn't matter if there is no MV, we can imagine our own experience in our hearts, and you will feel a sense of substitution.
Yang Lin yawned while reading the comments. He said to Zhang Qian, who was watching TV: "The recent comments are all one-sided, I just want to find some shortcomings." ”
Zhang Qian stood up, he walked to the opposite side of Yang Lin and picked up a edited newspaper, "Well, indeed." I think it's mainly because your sales are scared of them, and if they say your album is not good, isn't it their own smoke? ”
Yang Lin pursed his lips and nodded undeniably. He stretched his waist and said, "I have to go to bed early today, sign the sale tomorrow, and at the same time rush back to Jinhua to sign the sale, and then I have to come back here, it's really troublesome." ”
He looked out the window, it was indeed time to go back and see, even if there was no home of his own, it was the place where he was born and raised, not to mention his only relative? When he thought about it, he felt a little impatient.
He took his mobile phone and pressed the landline phone of his uncle's house, but he didn't dare to dial it out.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Lin was a little nervous and looked forward to dialing it out, and then listening to the voice, he didn't know how to tell them that he hadn't gone home for two years, and now was it considered a return to his hometown?
"Hey, who are you looking for?" A familiar voice came, a thick male voice with a slight hoarseness. Hearing this voice again, Yang Lin wanted to cry a little, I don't know how long I hadn't heard it, from the time he was a trick in his previous life, until this life, a full twelve years!
He turned around, not wanting Zhang Qian to see his tears, he held his mobile phone but couldn't open his mouth.
"Hey, who the hell are you looking for? Is there a mistake? Sitting on the sofa, Yang Haibo asked suspiciously. He looks to be in his forties, and the years have not left many traces on him, but have added to his charm. The excellent genes of the Yang family can be seen from him and Yang Lin.
"Old Yang, who the hell is it?" Sitting across from him was a middle-aged woman with excellent maintenance, although she was not a national beauty, but her temperament made up for the problem of appearance.
Yang Lin couldn't help but whimper when he heard these two familiar voices. "Uncle, I, I'm Yang Lin." Yang Lin followed his mother's surname, so they all had the surname Yang.
If there was a lightning strike, Yang Haibo was shocked, and he held the earpiece with some trembling, "What, you, you are Yang Lin?" ”
He didn't expect that Yang Lin, who hadn't called him for two years, would call back. "Uncle, it's really me, I'm coming back."
Without superfluous words, he gently raised his head to prevent tears from falling.
"Is it really a cousin? Great, great. A lovely voice came, if Yang Lin remembered correctly, it was his cousin, who should be fourteen years old this year, right?
"Old Yang? Is it really Yang Lin? Yang Lin's aunt shook Yang Haibo's hand and asked softly.
didn't expect them to care about themselves as always, Yang Lin is love in his heart. "Uncle, aunt, I'll go back to Jinhua tomorrow, and I'll come to see you."
His aunt snatched the microphone, and then said distressedly: "You kid, you won't come back to see us during the New Year." If we hadn't been able to see your news on the news every day, we wouldn't know what to do, and you just left like that, how do you let us explain to your mother, she entrusted you to us. ”
For a long time, this aunt has taken good care of Yang Lin and treated him as her own son, and now after hearing Yang Lin's voice, she couldn't help crying.
"You've grown up and become a big star. I thought you had forgotten about us. She wiped her tears, and then glanced at Yang Haibo with relief.
"How can it be, I'm just too busy right now to have time to come back. I didn't have the face to come back before, but now I just came back to do a book signing for the album. Yang Lin hurriedly explained that he didn't want to be misunderstood.
"Brother, I want your autograph. I told my classmates that you were my cousin, but no one believed me, now it's okay. His cousin Yang Tingting cheered a little.
"Okay, my brother's signature will definitely be given to you, what kind of gift do you want?"
"Don't have a gift, just come back." She said sensibly.
This is the inseparable blood relationship, for them it is two years, but for Yang Lin, they have not seen each other for twelve years.
Tomorrow, go home. If there is another place in the world that can be called home, Yang Lin thought, it is in Jinhua, at his uncle's house.
