Chapter Ninety-Five: Signing Itinerary

In order to grab a certain share from the record market, in order to make Hollywood record companies really rise, Walt Disney formulated a huge publicity jihua, put a lot of advertisements on the radio, newspapers, magazines, and even its own Disney TV station also pulled out, produced several special programs in the evening file, and began to play behind-the-scenes footage of the production of this album.

Even, with the personal intervention of Michael Eisner, the media dragged out the feud between Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise, not to mention, this kind of feud between celebrities is always outdated, and the effect is surprisingly good.

"We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Tom Cruise, perhaps because of his aggressive gesture, which forced Ryan Jenkins to burst into a sparkling musical talent and fight back against him with songs, thus bringing us this outstanding solo album."

This is a report in the California Independent, and although anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is grandstanding, it is extremely refreshing to watch.

No one will know what Tom Cruise, who returns to Los Angeles from the Caribbean, will think.

Since he has signed a record contract with Hollywood Records, Ryan will naturally do his duty to fully cooperate with the company's publicity, since he is not yet sixteen years old, the record contract can only be signed one by one, and the biggest trouble in the promotion is not from the media and fans, but from the children's association.

As one of the most well-known minors in the country, Ryan is certainly the focus of the Children's Association, from the working hours Disney has arranged for him to his learning progress.

This can be regarded as a happy annoyance, after all, having such an association from time to time to cast attention will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles before he is a minor.

The signing of Hollywood Records starts in New York and ends in Los Angeles, from east to west through carefully selected big cities, with Ryan's strong personal appeal and massive advertising, to promote record sales.

In fact, in the minds of John Burns and Reed Myers, there is an idea that no one else knows, that is, to make Ryan's book fans and movie fans become his fans as much as possible, not too much, as long as half of the people can buy the album, the sales will reach a terrifying number.

After two stops in Boston and Philadelphia, Ryan and his entourage came to Nashville, the mecca of music in the United States, where nearly 10,000 people gathered at the Tennessee Music Center, where the book signing was held.

Since I have come to the holy land of rural folk songs, the repertoire of singing is naturally indispensable for country-style songs.

"Hello friends from Nashville and Tennessee, I didn't expect so many people to come today, your enthusiasm makes me feel suffocated, and I'm about to be speechless, in that case, let's use music to communicate!"

Ryan is still dressed in a long-sleeved T-shirt with jeans and sneakers, and the whole person's temperament is unusually kind, ""Climbing, let's climb the highest peak in life together!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead in playing the acoustic guitar in his hand, and the heavy and jumping power of the song sounded.

"Life is like climbing, the road ahead is always full of obstacles, people who never give up, run forward with their heads held high, until they run to the highest and most beautiful place, reach the highest peak of life, where there is the strongest air current, where there are mottled rocks, where there is cold air, and here is the joy after the challenge is won...... Life is about climbing, as long as you work hard, you will always succeed......"

"Wow~"

At the moment when the song fell, the audience burst into almost crazy applause and cheers, in their opinion, just like those music critics commented, this inspirational song is the most beautiful summary of Ryan Jenkins in the past 12 years.

What's more, this song is still so beautiful and inspiring!

"Ryan! Ryan! ”

The shouts from the audience grew frenzied, and Ryan's poster was held high above their heads, forming a sea.

After the singing, it was a natural signing, and as always, Ryan maintained an communicative autograph style, and the benefits of this were obvious, and after passing through three cities, his reputation for being kind, kind, and unpretentious had spread among fans.

Some fans even queued up two days in advance in order to get their first ticket in their city.

Of course, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, fans and fans are getting more and more emboldened, and things similar to female fan sneak attacks are endless, which makes people unguardable.

Ryan once complained to Natalie on the phone, but he didn't expect to provoke the girl for a while.

"Ryan Jenkins, you're clearly showing off, well, you won't have to worry about not getting a girlfriend in the future."

Find your own fans to be girlfriends, unless I'm crazy! Ryan didn't pay much attention.

The rest of his vacation will inevitably be spent on the go, sometimes changing two or three cities a week, but fortunately he is physically strong and energetic far more than ordinary people, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

Hollywood Records can only be regarded as a middle-to-low music company, but it is backed by the mountain of Disney, and as the only leading singer, Ryan enjoys a lot of special care, such as the company mobilizes most of the resources to invest in him alone, which is absolutely unimaginable in a big record company.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the company sees his full of musical talent and strong influence among teenagers, which can bring real benefits.

Just a week later, the "Ryan Jenkins" album made Disney and Hollywood labels laugh crookedly.

After the first week, the album easily sold more than 643,500 copies, leaving other new singers and even established singers to hide their faces and cry.

All right! No one would consider Ryan Jenkins to be a newcomer, even if this is his first album.

"What, it didn't break one million in the first week?" Upon hearing the news, Ryan's eyes widened, bluffing Burns for a moment.

He wanted to say to him, it's 640,000! Not 64,000 sheets! Breaking a million in the first week? What are you thinking, or do you think you're Michael Jackson now?

It's no wonder that Ryan, in his previous life, he was in contact with the European and American music scene in the new century, and it was not uncommon for famous singers to break 100 in the first week at that time.

However, seeing Burns' smug look, Ryan understood that this result seemed quite good.

With the release of the album, the record company sent another single to hit the charts, but it was not a song plagiarized by Ryan, but the original "Climbing".

After the new issue came out on the billboard, this song did not squeeze Whitney Houston's "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" from the first place, but squeezed Ryan's other song "IBelieveICanFly" from the second place and firmly occupied the second place.

Ryan's trip continues, his vacation time is limited, and once school starts, the children's association will definitely come over to chirp, not to mention, Spielberg calls from Poland and informs him that it is best to go to Krakow at the end of February, and the movie will probably start in March.

Ryan has to admire him, for this movie, Spielberg not only drove himself crazy, but even his team was about to go crazy, more than two months of preliminary preparation time, for such a movie, how tense!

Of course, he has been planning for this for nearly ten years, and must have done a lot of preliminary work, and Ryan has also heard that since December last year, some of his team have actually gone to Poland, otherwise, such a fast speed, it can only be said that he has asked God for help.

Ryan passed through one city after another, and after the second week, not only did not lose sales, but because of the good word of mouth, he jumped again, winning more than 711,300 copies.

Two weeks later, the album had sold more than 1 million copies, and Ryan was a platinum singer in a broad sense, but that number had to be certified by the National Recording Association.

Another big surprise came from Billboard, where after more than 10 weeks at the top of the charts, "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" finally relinquished the top spot, and saw another song by the same author, "Climbing", take the first spot.

"Whether it is the tune or the lyrics, the climb is full of the taste of trying to persevere in the difficult situation and striving for xiangshang, which is so inspiring, this is the most haode inspirational song after entering the 90s, there is no one!"

- Billboard, Finn Rutgers

"Throughout the album, Ryan tried several music styles, whether it was pop, country, or R&B, he was very proficient, like a finger, although because of age and vocal cords, there are still some small flaws in singing, but it is already very rare, not to mention, all the songs on the album are all arranged by himself, which is enough to show his superb musical talent. This is a very rare album that brings great surprises, and in short, you will definitely not regret the money you shelled out! ”

- "Rolling Stone"

"We don't want to talk about how good the album is, as long as anyone who has listened to it knows how good the songs are. What we want to talk about is the song "Climbing", isn't this inspirational song a portrayal of Ryan Jenkins' life? He is the embodiment of the American Dream! As long as you persist, you will succeed! ”

- Mick Taylor, Los Angeles Times

Most of the media praised the album, after all, except for the wonderful "he", other songs, even a few original songs by Ryan, have their own characteristics, especially with a strong popularity.

At the same time, there are also people who are worried about the voice.

"There's no doubt about Ryan's artistic talent, but human energy is limited, and after being involved in fiction writing, screenwriting, and film acting, Ryan has mixed in pop music, and we're worried that it will distract him, after all, there is only one Barbra Streisand in Hollywood, and too much involvement in too many artistic fields may not be good for his growth."

"Also, let's not forget, Ryan's identity is a student, and if this continues, we suspect that his academic performance will plummet!"

After Ryan read the report on the plane, he casually threw it aside, they better take care of their children first!
