Chapter 134: The Outbreak of a Flower
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A single is often released a week or two in advance, and the same is true for SMAP, although there is less publicity, most of the information programs and music programs still give a lot of attention, especially with the release of the Kamikimura TV series "HERO", although I can't see SMAP people for a while, but there is a feeling on TV that they still occupy the TV station.
When the single was revealed, both the news of Kimura and the gimmick of the 18-year-old genius Zhou Xiao Zuò and the quality of the songs were excellent, and all kinds of topics came together, and SMAP was looking forward to getting quite good results on the first day of sales of the new single. And after the pre-sale was revealed,The response to this song is also very good,There are people on the radio on demand,The ratings of TV programs that will play this song will also increase significantly,A week ago, when Mu private net sang this song on SMAP,MS's ratings got the highest value of regular broadcast in recent months!
Finally, when the first day's sales came out, everyone was scared.
3o thousand! This number can't be compared with the success of AKB in later generations, which was one million a day at every turn, but today's single sales curve is not comparable to that of AKB's era.
310,000! On the second day of the World Flower Sale, the sales volume did not decrease at all, but increased by 10,000! Don't think that the sales of 600,000 in two days are low, there is still a difference between this song and Zhou Xiao's "Powder Snow".
Zhou Xiao's popularity is very high, but he is still a newcomer, his popularity has not been consolidated, and few of his fans will support him for a long time. Such a distribution of fans makes Zhou Xiao rush to buy the single when it is sold. SMAP has been debuting for a long time, most of their fans have been fixed, this part of the fans will not pursue the first day to get the single, and SMAP is more advantageous in that they are not just a new singer, they represent. It's a habit and national nature, many people who are not smap fans, are likely to go to the CD store to buy a copy after hearing that this song is very good, but if this person is replaced by Zhou Xiao, there may be few people who do this.
In short, although the sales in the first two days looked similar to Zhou Xiao, on the third day, the gap between the national group and the newcomers was reflected.
290,000! After three days, the total sales of the world's flowers reached 9o thousand! And the company also quickly announced that the weekly shipment of SMAP has reached 120,000 copies. This means that the first million-selling single of 2oo1 is about to be born!
Zhou Xiao knows very well that smap plus the horror of the world flower, 12o million is not the end of this song at all, 2oo million is! Maybe it will take a month or two to reach this number, but this has already shocked the eyes of a group of critics, and many people are surprised by the energy of Zhou Xiao, this kid, the first single is 2oo million, and the second single now seems to be a million sales, and then even if you make a song for others, it can actually rush to two million sales?
Quite a few music critics. Especially people who selfishly like SMAP or Zhou Xiao came out to comment: "It's absolutely true that SMAP is popular, how high is their popularity and topicality?" I think even if they don't have any sound in the CD, maybe they can sell hundreds of thousands! But SMAP isn't everything, and fans aren't idiots. Hundreds of thousands of sales may be reached, but millions of sales are not something that anyone can swipe.
The same is true of Zhou Xiao's appeal, as the hottest new star from last year to this year, his songs have excellent quality. But no matter how good the quality is, I am afraid it will be absolutely difficult to reproduce the glory of "Little Love" that sold 2oo yuan just by relying on the music element. Reality can prove it, although his second single was also at least a million sales. But in addition to the reason why the song is good, the main reason for this million is the pandemic of movies. That's right, SMAP himself can't do it, and Zhou Xiao himself can't do it, but if it's SMAP plus Zhou Xiao, plus the right timing, it's really possible to create Zào history! And we will all be witnesses to this historic single! ”
With the hot sales of the world's flowers, in just one week, Zhou Xiao has an income of nearly 100 million yuan, and this income is not the company's income but his own.
Hundreds of millions of yen were put in his pocket, and Zhou Xiao, who became rich, almost found someone to tie his hands, so he finally couldn't bear to squander all the money. Don't think that this is Zhou Xiao's tyrant who has never seen money, in fact, too many people have done this, and some songwriters who have become rich can only or even may earn more than 2o billion yen a year! What is so much income for? Not everyone will save it, and some people will book the best bar in Ginza with a wave of their hand, and call all the barmaids in the bar to play with everyone, and a night like this can cost a full 20 million yen, from chartering the venue to opening champagne to the cost of the bartender!
As for Zhou Xiao, after he became rich, he actually squandered it, but in addition to eating, he had no interest in wine and didn't like Ginza and the wine girl, so he hadn't found any suitable way to squander it for the time being, so he .................. I went to Akihabara and bought a set of the most advanced computers in Japan.
It's really advanced...... It's almost one-fifth of the work computer he used in later generations......
In addition to the royalties of smap songs, Zhou Xiao's income in other aspects is also very amazing, his new single has millions of sales, and the money he finally gets may be less than that of smap, but I'm afraid it won't be much less, and the movie box office, he himself still has a box office share of 5%, originally as a rookie director, it is almost impossible to get a box office share, but who makes him still the boss of the company, as the only boss of AZX, it can be said that he is the investor of the movie, Coupled with the multiple identity bonuses of the film's screenwriter and director and even the actor, taking this 5% share is actually not much at all.
With a box office of 2o billion, five percent of it is another 100 million yen, and eighteen-year-old Zhou Xiao has already begun to make money in units of 100 million when his peers are still looking for jobs in college, which has also attracted a lot of attention.
"A Liter of Tears" is really a hit. And this fire also burned a lot of people, first of all, the so-called film critics who jumped out sneering just a few days after the daily box office came out.
In fact, after this movie came out, the critics did not criticize it one-sidedly, there were still some people who said good things about the movie, and even some film critics who were not invited to participate in the screening or test screening would stand up and say good things, Zhou Xiao didn't know if these people really saw the goodness of the movie, or got any benefits or what, but in short. They are indeed saying good things about the movie. And this kind of behavior has made them get quite a lot of praise from readers, as for those who can't wait to come up and say bad things, readers give bad reviews one-sidedly, this is not clear, just the box office came out on the first day, and they were in a hurry to sing about each other, and now that they are popular, what are you going to do?
Of course. Some critics are also unrelenting, and they have come forward and tried to state that this phenomenon is not their own fault. And those who do it are fine if they just attribute the problem to the market or luck. But some people are not sensible, they did not attribute the problem to luck, but said directly: "Although this movie is popular, I think its essence can still be regarded as not high-style." So the people who really like to watch it are probably people who don't have a good style, which makes this movie popular. In fact, it is not the level of the movie but the general viewing of the public that is too low, but this is also understandable, after all, not everyone understands movies like us, understands movies, and the vast majority of people, watching movies in the cinema, are actually just going on a date, and talking about art with such people is equivalent to playing the piano to the cow......"
If you want to talk about how to provoke a person, it is undoubtedly the easiest way to disdain the other party's suzhì......
Now it's not the time when you want to scold a person's mother, you can only write letters to each other, and for a while, all kinds of movie magazines that published such things have been called by readers, and the magazine website that has just been opened not long ago has also been filled with a full page of messages from all walks of life, and there is a posture of Zhou Xiao's guards.
As for whether there are people behind this who are AZX propagandists, they are fueling the flames...... I'm afraid that only Zhou Xiao, who knows the power of the navy, knows.
And the TV circle has also been affected a little, Zhou Xiao is engaged in movies, at first there will inevitably be a lot of doubts on the TV side, especially now that Zhou Xiao has no power or power, and it is impossible to find anyone to affect his own reputation, when these comments came out, Zhou Xiao had to be unheard, but now it is different, I want to invite him, a new director, and at the same time, it seems that there are no taboos, and the popular young man who can do anything is discharged from afar, and naturally no one will come up to find him uncomfortable, Say what Zhou Xiao can't say.
"A Liter of Tears" movie to say what the big truth is not told, this movie from beginning to end, there is only one touching and incomparably tear-jerking story, and Zhou Xiao figured out what guò this movie told everyone, and figured out what guò this movie presented, in addition to this sad story, there is also the heroine Yayena's unparalleled love for life.
The audience can see this, and of course the critics can see it, but unlike the average audience, these critics can think of more things.
After the release of "A Liter of Tears" for a period of time, many Japanese film critics began to compare the film with the pessimism that the Japanese have always had and the "poignant death" culture, and even a magazine interviewed experts specializing in China issues, these experts didn't know what to think, they said: "Zhou Xiao is Chinese rather than outright Japanese, although he has never returned to China, although he has received a Japanese education since he was a child, but we know, His parents did not relax his education about China, so he spoke Chinese very well.
It can be seen that he still has the temperament of Chinese civilization or Big 6 culture, and the Japanese are very fond of the culture of death, whether it is cherry blossoms, bushido or even those who commit suicide lying on the subway are good proof of this. But the big 6 civilization does not have this characteristic, they love life incomparably, just like Yaya in the movie, although she likes falling cherry blossoms, she prefers blooming roses, although she likes the sunset, but prefers the warmth of noon. She or he is very open-minded, and even says that as long as they can barely get by, they will get by. Maybe Japanese songs and movies can make Zhou Xiao like and deeply fall in love with the beauty of this culture, but we can't assimilate him from the most fundamental point, even if he is Japanese. Even though he is so fascinated by Japanese culture, he is still Chinese. ”
Zhou Xiao was a little speechless when this China expert's comment was made, to say that this comment was actually quite poetic, and the content was also very good, a lot of analysis about the Japanese and the Chinese was in place, and even about what kind of character the Chinese were said very well, if this person suddenly stood in front of him and said it, Zhou Xiao estimated that he would suspect that the other party had seen through his identity as a traverser, but the most critical problem was. Zhou Xiao didn't think about it this when he made the movie, could it really be that the Chinese culture in his heart played a decisive role in it? Zhou Xiao couldn't be sure of this.
After this article came out, all kinds of things about Zhou Xiao and "One Liter of Tears" were brought to everyone's eyes again, and even many people who didn't care much about this movie at the beginning and were not interested in watching it went to the cinema to watch it, and many people who thought they were interested in China went to the cinema to study the character formation of "Japanese-Chinese" and the influence of Japanese culture on Chinese culture. And the Chinese in Japan are also very concerned about this movie. Although this is a very pure Japanese movie, since experts who study China have said it, many Chinese people will naturally feel that this movie has a Chinese flavor, and the news that they are vying to watch it has even spread back to China. has made the big 6 fans pay a lot of attention, but now the number of places for the introduction of movies in China's big 6 is limited, and it is also difficult to apply, so Zhou Xiao has never moved the idea of taking the movie to the big 6 for release.
The various discussions about "A Liter of Tears" have two more contradictory ideas for Zhou Xiao. On the one hand, he didn't bother to listen to what those people had to say about himself and his film, but on the other hand, he felt that the more comments like this, the better. Because the more comments, the more attention, of course he is not the kind of person who wants to be famous at the box office, but if it is just this kind of discussion between both sides and ambiguities, Zhou Xiao still thinks that the more the merrier. As for the real director of this film, Koto Nagata...... At this moment, no one pays attention to her, because this movie has been branded too deeply, about Zhou Xiao's branding, maybe when the movie first appeared, someone would pay attention to the so-called Iwai Shunji's stop and disciple gimmick, but at this time, no one cares about this anymore.
Time flies quickly, and in March, Sister Sakai Izumi, who has been missing for most of the year, finally returns.
She's back for a new single.
In fact, in the history that Zhou Xiao experienced, Sakai Izumi would have performed her 33rd single in November 2ooo, but Zhou Xiao's appearance caused some butterfly effects, and she went to China instead of doing these 33 singles. In the months since he disappeared, Zhou Xiao didn't know what Sakai Spring was doing, the only thing he knew was that when he saw this sister who had the grace of knowing him again, he was a little shocked by the appearance of the woman in front of him.
Sakai Spring Water is originally a very beautiful woman, especially the kind of confidence she has as a star, which makes people feel very aura, but now Sakai Spring Water, even if she hasn't seen her for so long, Zhou Xiao still feels the kind of weak temperament she has.
"What's wrong, sister?" Zhou Xiao asked. The woman in front of her will be diagnosed with cancer in 2oo6, so Zhou Xiao is particularly worried about the changes in her body.
"My health hasn't been very good lately, so I'm going to come back this time and I'm going to release a single and an album and then I'll continue to recuperate." Sakai Izumisui said as he took off his glasses.
With this removal of her glasses, Zhou Xiao felt even more that she was in a bad state now, her eyes were almost not bright, and the bags under her glasses were even bigger and a little scary.
"Did you encounter anything in China? Or ......" Zhou Xiao wanted to ask my sister if you were out of love, but he couldn't say it.
"No, I haven't encountered anything in China, I lived in Wudang Mountain for a month, it's so cold on the mountain, the food is not good, I sleep on the kang every day, but there is still nothing!" Sakai Izumi held his head and said.
"Or what do you want to encounter?" Zhou Xiao felt very puzzled by this, why did it sound like the sister in front of him went to China to go to Wudang Mountain with whom she made an appointment? However, for the deterioration of Sakai Spring's health, he seems to understand some of the reasons, living on such a high mountain for a month, or in the case of winter, even an eighteen-year-old man like him may not be able to bear it, with this sister's body, it can be called extraordinary perseverance to resist for a month.
"Zhou Xiao, you...... Hey, forget it, don't talk about this, let's talk about you, I really didn't expect it, you have been so powerful for more than half a year! Sakai Spring finally turned the topic to Zhou Xiao without saying anything about himself.
As for Zhou Xiao, although he called his sister, the relationship between the two was actually not so close that Cheng Dù could ask directly, so although he cared about the woman in front of him in his heart, he still reluctantly couldn't help but didn't ask anything more.
As for what happened to Sakai Spring during this time? Let's start slowly. (To be continued!)
