Chapter 566: Don't talk about politics
Accompanied the two beauties to sleep in the hotel until three o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon, Han Jin was followed by people from EMI Records to attend the press conference.
He is now a world-renowned singer, and his new album "Rock-TT" has been released in the UK, and it has sold very well, reaching 500,000 copies in the first week, becoming a veritable gold record. And it is expected that with the concert, the sales of this record will still increase, and it is estimated that it may exceed two million copies.
This result, even for a British singer, is still quite a good result. Therefore, there are many reporters who came to the scene today, such as "The Times", "The Sun", "London Post", etc., and even the media of France, Germany, Sweden, Italy and other countries across the sea also came to interview.
Han Jin's albums are very popular in France, Germany, Italy, Norway and other European countries, especially in Sweden, which is known as the "country of dance music".
Swedish dance music is famous all over the world, such as the Dancing Elves Group, ABBA Group, Abba Youth Group, etc., all of which have gone from Sweden to the world.
The musicians of this country seem to have dance music cells all over their bodies, and they have an unimaginable talent for dance music. Even the most rhythmic blacks have a hard time competing with them. One-third of the world's top 100 DJs are from Sweden.
Originally, the people of this country thought that their country's dance music was cool enough, but when they heard Han Jin's dance music, they suddenly realized that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky.
Like "Rabbit Dance", "Butterfly Dance", "Colder Than Ice", "Cousin Louie" and many more. It has become the favorite dance music of the Swedes, making them simply crazy about Han Jin's dance music.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome Han!" The host stretched out his voice and shouted, and then Han Jin was in the applause of the media. He walked into the venue with a smile and sat down in front of the reporters and cameras.
"Good afternoon, everyone!" Han Jin said to the reporters in the audience with a smile.
He couldn't help but be very happy to see so many reporters at the scene.
"Thank you all for being here today, I'm very happy. In a few days we will have my first concert in the UK, and I hope everyone will be there by then. I will also do my best to give you the best performance. Han Jin said with a smile again.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!!!
The reporters politely applauded.
"Okay, now for the free question session." After Han Jin finished greeting everyone. The host took the opportunity to say.
"I'm a reporter for the London Post, and I would like to ask if I recently heard that you have become a shareholder of Sony Records, is this news true?" A reporter took the microphone and asked.
Han Jin smiled and nodded, "I can tell you very responsibly." It's true. ”
"Wow!!!" The reporters in the audience couldn't help but exclaim when they heard him answer so happily.
"Okay, next reporter!" The moderator added.
"I'm a reporter for The Times, and I'd like to ask, how did you become a shareholder of Sony Records?" A reporter took the microphone and asked again.
"I said I wanted to be a shareholder of Sony Records, and they decided it would be a good deal, so they asked me to be it." Han Jin said with a smile.
"Uh......" Hearing him say this, the reporters in the audience couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Are things in this world so simple? I want to be a shareholder of Sony Records, why doesn't he let me be?!
"Okay, next reporter!" The host hurriedly said.
"I'm a journalist for the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. I know that Sony Records has a billion-dollar market capitalization, and it is not easy to become a shareholder in it, so I hope you can explain the process in more detail, okay? An Italian journalist asked in Italian.
The interpreter on the scene was about to help him translate, Han Jin waved his hand to him, and then replied in fluent Italian, "Actually, the whole process is very simple. I wrote some songs for Sony Records and then made some money. Then he used the money to take a stake in Sony Records. So I became a shareholder of Sony Records. ”
Seeing that Han Jin can not only speak fluent English, but also be able to speak Italian so fluently. Many reporters present couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Italian reporter who asked the question was even more surprised, he didn't expect that Han Jin's Italian words were so straightforward, which was completely unexpected by him.
"Okay, next reporter!" The host waited for Han Jin to finish answering, and then said.
"I'm a reporter for Der Spiegel in Germany, and you just said that you wrote some songs and made some money, and then used that money to invest in Sony Records. I would like to ask, how can you make so much money by writing all those songs? A German journalist asked in German.
The translator was about to help Han Jin translate, but he waved his hand again, "What songs have been written, it's inconvenient for me to announce them here now." But I think there will be new songs coming out soon, and everyone will be able to know by then. Han Jin replied in German again.
Seeing that he even spoke German so fluently, the reporters present couldn't help but be more and more surprised.
"Okay, the next reporter~" the host reminded again.
……
Several reporters have been given the opportunity to ask questions, from France, Sweden, Spain, and even Norway, as if they want to verify Han Jin's foreign language ability, they all asked questions in their own languages.
To their surprise, Han Jin answered in the language of their country, which made all the reporters present stunned.
In just twenty minutes, Han Jin has successively shown six languages including English, Italian, German, French, Swedish, Spanish, and if you add Cantonese, which he originally knows, it is seven languages.
Many people in Europe know two or three languages, because the countries are so close to each other, many countries are not as big as one province in China, and the so-called languages are more like dialects. It is of the same origin, so it is relatively easy to learn.
But even so. There are not many people like Han Jin who can understand seven languages, which makes people can't help but be surprised, and they also praise his language talent.
"Alright, guys, on how I became a shareholder of Sony Records. I'll leave it at that. If I continue to do so, I'm afraid I'm going to leak trade secrets. Han Jin said with a smile, "Let's talk about the upcoming concert, okay?" ”
"Han, what tracks will you perform at your concert?" A reporter asked with a smile.
"I mainly perform energetic songs and dances, and dance music is inevitable, such as "Colder than Ice", "Rabbit Dance", "Cousin Louie". I'll also make a cameo as a DJ. Let the fans enjoy the nightclub-like feeling. "Of course, I'm also very good at lyrical songs, so I think I can sing a few lyrical songs." ”
"Sounds great, but what do you think is the highlight of your concert?" Another reporter asked.
"Actually, the biggest highlight is me, if I'm not mistaken. I'm afraid I'm the first Hong Kong person to do a concert in the UK, which in itself is a very meaningful thing. Han Jin said with a smile.
Hearing him say this, all the reporters present had a feeling of sudden realization.
Seeing him speak so fluently in foreign languages before, people almost thought he was European, but now I remember that he was originally from Hong Kong.
"It seems that Hong Kong will be returned to China in 10 years, will you choose to immigrate then?" A reporter suddenly asked.
Han Jin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled, "Let's talk about music." I don't want to get involved in politics. ”
He doesn't want to talk about his own immigration, he doesn't want to immigrate. There is no country in the world that is more comfortable with its own home.
The so-called golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. No matter where you go. Or your own home is best for you.
Besides, immigration sounds good, but in fact the ending can be brutal.
In addition to different cultural backgrounds and unsuitable eating habits, there are also deep-rooted racial discrimination in Western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. and high taxes.
If Han Jin immigrates to these countries, it is estimated that he will cause great losses to himself. He knew it after the subprime mortgage crisis in O7. The impoverished U.S. government has dramatically expanded the scope of taxation.
As long as the income of Americans is foreign, they have to pay high taxes. forced many people to voluntarily renounce their American citizenship. It also makes many rich people choose to emigrate to other countries to avoid paying taxes.
Han Jin didn't want all the money he made in the future to be taken away by the U.S. government, and he cheapened those Yankees for nothing.
When the reporters present heard him say this, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Because in Western countries, there are very few musicians who do not participate in politics, especially rock singers, who are known for resisting power, encouraging resistance, and advocating freedom. They are like an angry bull who takes pride in storming the existing order, and for doing so, they gain the support and adoration of many fans.
Unexpectedly, Han Jin now said that he doesn't like to participate in politics, which is indeed very different from the style of mainstream musicians, and it also makes many reporters puzzled.
"Han, participating in politics is the best way for singers to get attention, why don't you want to get involved in politics?" A reporter asked curiously.
John. The reason why Lennon is more evaluated in the music world than Paul. McCartney is tall because he actively participated in the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the United States, and also held a "love and peace" sit-in demonstration with his wife Yoko Ono, which made him the most high-profile musician in one fell swoop.
Rock singers gain attention by criticizing social injustices and win the support of fans, which is also one of the shortcuts to fame.
"This may have something to do with my personality." Han Jin said, "Can we change the topic again?" ”
Han Jin knows that it is fashionable for singers in the Western world to talk about politics, and it is also the best way to sensationalize. Because young people in the Western world are generally dissatisfied with the government, singers talk about politics and attack social injustice, and it is easy to win their sympathy and thus win their support.
From John. Lennon to Bob. Dylan, from the Scorpions to the Gun Flowers, from Sting to Bruce. Springsteen, everybody is proud to talk about politics.
However, this phenomenon is estimated to end here, Han Jin knows that in the past two years, rock music is about to reach its final glory, and then it will be the world of teenpop (teen pop).
Ten years after the end of the Vietnam War, a new generation of children is about to grow up. They have not experienced war, and they will not understand that pain. Coupled with the economic prosperity of the West, they enjoy a rich material life.
So hedonism is the theme, and rock, which satirizes politics sharply, and those who are radical musicians, will no longer be popular with teenagers.
They will like backstreet boys, Britney and other idol singers with good looks, gorgeous dance moves and good music.
Therefore, although Han Jin's abandonment of talking about politics may disappoint some fans, it can help him attract another group of fans who are not very political.
Moreover, Han Jin plays all dance music, and dance music is actually hedonism, so the fans who like him are the kind of people who like to enjoy and be happy, and I believe that he doesn't want him to criticize politics at every turn. (To be continued)
