Chapter 226: Tomorrow Will Be Better
As Zhang Yao participated in activities everywhere, these months have become the busiest period since he became a singer, singing, dancing or being interviewed, and his life has been busy and boring.
Even so, he did not forget to draw comics, selected songs from BeyoncΓ©, Taylor Swift and other female divas to Zheng Xiaoyi and released albums to him.
By the time he returned to Qingxi, the album "Can't Forget Love Songs" had been taken off the shelves, with a total sales of more than 7 million in Asia, 2 million in Hong Kong and Taiwan, more than 3 million in the mainland, and nearly 2 million in Singapore and Malaysia combined.
Such a number is unprecedented, and it has broken the highest sales of local albums everywhere it goes, and according to the news from the world, all overseas regions have combined to sell more than 4 million, and global sales have exceeded 10 million.
If you don't count it cumulatively, this is the only album in the Chinese music scene that has sold more than 10 million copies, and Zhang Yao finally penetrated into the hearts of every Chinese in the world with this album.
Zhang Yao's English album is more popular than this, but English is always English, and for Chinese people or Chinese, the identity is far less high than Chinese, but because he is from the Celestial Empire, he is looking forward to his breakthrough in Chinese music.
"How does it feel to be called a god, is it so proud that your tail is about to."
After Zhang Yao came back, Ai Xiaoqi asked, as an assistant and agent, Ai Xiaoqi did not go out with him this time, and went back to accompany his parents, and it is said that he also went to their company's company for a while.
Ai Xiaoqi gave this opportunity to Christine, and let the American who came from afar go to see a different Celestial Empire everywhere, of course, the result of this is the resurgence of lace news. Change to an ordinary American girl. Perhaps others will think that it is Zhang Yao's assistant hired in the United States. Christine is also a well-known star in China.
Although Christine also acted as Zhang Yao's assistant with great interest during this time, in the eyes of others, this is more like a virtuous helper, and more important messages have become indispensable.
"Another one, and this time it's a Yanmar, what should Ai Xiaoqi and Zheng Xiaoyi do?"
"You said there is one less, and Asuka Hoshino, a very well-known manga artist in the island country."
"That's why I said it again. Although the entertainment industry generally gets married late, Zhang Yao should also be the age of marriage, what will become of the end if he mixes up like this? β
"It's not our turn to worry about it, is it? Well, Zhang Yao has never had a girlfriend publicly, and it is estimated that he himself feels that he has no choice, and maybe it is his girlfriend. β
Fans are anxious for Zhang Yao, as people in the entertainment industry, they have long learned to ignore all kinds of lace news, but Zheng Xiaoyi doesn't seem to be completely like they didn't see it after watching it.
"Sister Xiaoyi, what are you looking at. How's your album going? β
In the office, Zheng Xiao was also watching the news. He raised his head and said: "I'm watching the news, the album has already completed pre-production, you have been out for so long, how can it not be finished." β
"That's right, I'm confused."
Zhang Yao scratched his head, leaned closer and asked, "What kind of news is so fascinating?" β
"The war in the Middle East has expanded, and this time it's no longer just about airstrikes, it's about starting a war on a large scale."
Zheng Xiaoyi said: "You don't know such a major news, and now the international community is arguing. β
"Well, when I open the newspaper, I always see a scandal or something, so I almost don't pay attention to it."
Zhang Yao said: "Fight it, fight it, anyway, the United Nations can't control it, and we are helpless, what else can we do except watch the news?" β
"Your consciousness is really low, don't say this kind of thing casually outside."
Zheng Xiaoyi glanced at it with disdain and said: "Ironically, because of the commemoration of the end of World War II, this year has just been designated as another year of world peace, and as a result, the war broke out immediately. β
"I've heard about the World Peace Year."
Zhang Yao nodded, and Zheng Xiao also said: "Because of this, the people's reaction has been stronger, many countries have held anti-war demonstrations, and there are singers in Europe and the United States who have recorded public welfare songs to call for world peace." β
"Before this time, this kind of thing is actually indispensable."
Zhang Yao didn't care much, he admired and supported people who were anti-war and did public welfare, but he didn't feel anything about it, maybe he really didn't have a high consciousness.
"Shall we also initiate it, with your appeal, we will definitely be able to gather many stars."
Zheng Xiaoyi suddenly proposed, saying, "I think this idea is good, at least it can improve your consciousness." β
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Zhang Yao stared at Zheng Xiaoyi to confirm that Zheng Xiaoyi's eyes did not blink, women are always more emotional, and as soon as Zheng Xiaoyi's proposal came out, he immediately got Ai Xiaoqi's support.
"Since everybody says so, what else can I do?"
The impression given to Zhang Yao in the Middle East is that the war never seems to have stopped, this country is not chaotic, that country is chaotic, and it can be appealed to this once a year, where to appeal.
But he finally agreed, and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, you go and send invitations to other record companies, and I will write the song as soon as possible." β
If you want to write it, you can only throw away the messy ideas, and the song that calls for world peace, the most successful in Chinese music is "Tomorrow Will Be Better".
This is a song from Taiwan in the 80s in the original time and space, that year was also the year of world peace, and the singers of this song included almost all the singers in the Taiwanese music scene at that time.
Li Youwei and Truman are old friends, and they will come over soon to say hello, in fact, it doesn't matter if they don't know each other, because it is a public welfare activity, and Zhang Yao is now a big enough name, just like Zheng Xiaoyi said, it is not a problem to call on people at all.
It is impossible for such a big action not to attract attention, and this is a public welfare, the more people who pay attention, the better, Zheng Xiaoyi has also been taking the initiative to release the news, which king and queen are involved in this.
For this song, Zheng Xiaoyi's album was also temporarily shelved, naturally it was initiated by their studio, and they must be responsible for the production themselves.
There are more than 20 stars on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and no one has enough songs to score, but no one cares about this.
Despite this, Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi still have a headache about how to arrange these people, people give face like this, of course, they should also think about others, and they can't sweep other people's faces.
"It's not simple, whoever is a big name can show more."
Ai Xiaoqi made a move, and Zheng Xiao also said: "Don't have bad ideas, such words don't fall on the medicine, to put it mildly, I am now bigger than them in the world, in this case, we will be gossiped." β
It's really not good to launch your own activities and let others accompany you, Zhang Yao said: "It's better not to be like this, don't care about the influence, directly rank the seniors, and the older ones have been mixed in the music and film circles for a long time to sing a solo, which can be regarded as respecting the seniors, and the juniors will sing together, how about we do the same?" β
"I don't care, that's it."
Zheng Xiao also nodded, they didn't mind being a foil, and others would have nothing to say, so the plan was decided, and Zhang Yao entertained the celebrities who came from afar, and decided the matter.
The seniors were very modest, but everyone thought that this method was the best, and they didn't say anything after they couldn't shirk it, and after deciding to make it, they began to work intensively.
Each of them is a big name, and they are busy with their own things, and they need to record the song and shoot the MV within three days, and the time is also advancing, and in this process, the reporter has been following.
Gently wake up the sleeping mind, slowly open your eyes, and see if the busy world is still there, and the loneliness does not stop
It only took a week for the song to be fully produced, and when people turned on the TV, they found that CCTV had started broadcasting the song during commercial breaks, and it was still the full version.
A few days after CCTV broadcast, the song also began to go viral on the Internet, and the participating stars were not paid, and Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao also wanted to release a single and then donate the income.
Think about it, since it is to promote public welfare and call for world peace, maybe this free vigorous promotion is more effective, so in addition to retaining copyright, anyone is allowed to reprint, as long as it is not used to make a profit, even if it is really a platform like Kubo and Yuedong, the download is also free.
Who can ignore their homeland, put aside the childhood in their memory, who can bear to look at the sorrow of yesterday, take away our smiles, youth incomprehensible red dust rouge stained with dust, let the tears that have not been seen for a long time moisten your face
As a result, everyone was able to sing a few words, and more people knew what the Year of World Peace was all about, and therefore paid more attention to the wars in the Middle East.
Originally, like Zhang Yao before, people who didn't care about the war that didn't happen to him, in addition to being good, the biggest fun of this song is to count which stars and their idols sang that song.
There are many people involved, not only is the lyrics not easy to distribute, and shooting the MV is a troublesome thing, but this is a song calling for peace, so naturally it has to be interspersed with some disaster scenes brought about by the war.
As a result, the already small amount of time is compressed again, and most people are fleeting, and if they blink their eyes, they will miss it, and they need to pause to confirm whether they have just appeared or not.
Because of the relationship between Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi, overseas media have also reported on this matter, and the song has also spread all over the world through YouTube, but unfortunately because of the relationship between the Chinese language, the influence has always been limited, and more foreigners still only know that the stars of the two of them organized the Celestial Empire sang such a song.
However, this also added firewood to the lively call for peace, but in fact, it did not have much impact on the war, and it will not stop because of this. (To be continued......)
