Chapter 519: "JAM" Voice of America Reaches the Top
Li Chencan roughly locked on three film companies as his targets.
The bankruptcy of these three film companies is not far off, roughly within five months, and they are all relatively young companies.
For example, the Tsunami Film Company, which was only founded in January of the year before last, had certain assets with the rapid distribution of several small-budget films, but then fell into bankruptcy in an instant because of the investment mistake of a large-budget film, directly filed for bankruptcy protection, and then began to be auctioned by the US government.
This kind of film companies that rely on small and medium-cost film production and distribution to survive are actually not very capable, and the most terrifying point is that they are prone to self-confidence and then start to get involved in big film production.
If you're lucky enough to get through it, the company might be able to grow, but if you're unlucky...... Then it would be tragic.
A film company is likely to be dragged down directly!
Unless it is a person like Li Chencan who obviously knows what kind of movie can be popular and then makes this kind of movie, otherwise, who is not trembling when investing in movies? Although the movie has a high income if it succeeds, if it fails, the consequences are also very serious.
The original "Cleopatra" almost dragged Fox down directly, and the film investment was so high and the return was so low that people almost committed suicide...... There are many similar things...... Under the glory of the winners, there are also the remains of countless losers.
And this Tsunami Film Company is also a victim of such a failure.
The other two film companies are in much the same situation, and there is a lot of similarity.
The main question is the choice of investment. It's not that there is a problem with the organization of the company itself, but this is also in line with Li Chencan's requirements - he doesn't have to worry about choosing movies at all. I have so many classic movies in my head, I don't believe that I can't let such a company get up.
However, Li Chencan is now mainly browsing the information of these film companies, and as for the specific decision, we have to wait to see what happens after that......
Then, Wei Ansheng also came to the United States.
During this period of time, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were still rising, and in Europe, after sales, they were as hot as the American market. This is very surprising.
From Li Chencan's point of view, he was not so surprised...... After all, he knew that Harry Potter in his previous life was a British work, and it was in the United Kingdom that it first became popular...... So it's all well explained.
In such a situation. The publication of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is also really starting to get into the making.
After Wei Ansheng came to the United States, Li Chencan quickly handed over the matter of dealing with film companies to make choices.
And Li Chencan himself is preparing for the publication and distribution of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
In addition, he is also ready to continue to consolidate his previous ranking in the music scene.
Li Chencan's previous rankings on the Voice of America rankings have improved by leaps and bounds, and he wants to stabilize this ranking trend.
Thereupon. After the start in June. Li Chencan released a new single "JAM", which is still "Michael. Jackson" is one of the legendary works that became famous, but this single, Li Chencan also selectively modified it slightly when choosing.
There is also no doubt about Li Chencan's ability to compose music......
In fact, he has never created his own music, the reason is that he now maintains a fabulous record - basically none of the songs he wrote are truly ordinary and mediocre, which is particularly important to Li Chencan's current status in the rivers and lakes, so he does not want to risk creating his own music to challenge the audience's acceptance.
After all, after Li Chencan came to the other world. His ability to learn is quite terrifying, and his reading speed and ability to memorize will make everyone drool over it. In addition, he spends most of his free time learning these things. So in the past few years that Li Chencan has been here, what he has learned may be equivalent to forty or fifty years of learning by others, because other people learn things and do not have such a strong memory, and they need to study many times to deepen their impression, but Li Chencan only needs one time, which is his huge advantage.
In this way, Li Chencan's ability to compose music is also very strong now, but he has not revealed it.
This time, in the face of "JAM", he also began to use his ability to compose music.
After all, the song "JAM" is still very controversial, and after its release, the song came at a price, and the rankings in the US and UK music charts did not meet the expected goals...... However, Li Chencan's great thing is that he is standing on the shoulders of many predecessors. Although people at the time may not have known exactly what went wrong with the song, Michael. Jackson is so famous, naturally there are a lot of people who are doing after-the-fact analysis of this song.
There are two main reasons why this song did not meet expectations on the charts, the first is that some unfamiliar sound effects are incorporated into it, which are similar to Michael. Jackson's early singles are very different and unacceptable for the time being. But in this time and space, in the 21st century, there is certainly no problem with everyone's acceptance of this sound effect. The second problem is that the intro of the song is a little long.
What Li Chencan improved was to modify the prelude slightly......
He reduced the prelude a little, but out of prudence, he spent days trying to change the prelude in this way, and he kept thinking about it, spending most of his time and energy on it.
Li Chencan can really understand the difficulty of creating an original song, and he also knows why he has such a high status now - he just fine-tuned the melody at the beginning of the song, and it took so much energy and time, so if it is purely original, how long will it take? However, Li Chencan has created such popular songs in just a few years, and he sang them himself! How can such a demon not have a high status?
After Li Chencan's slightly fine-tuned songs, they also showed a very strong vitality.
"JAM" is not a love song, nor is it a very pure party music, but the song has something to do with skin color.
In this time and space, because of the rise of China, no one in the world dares to have racial discrimination against yellow people, so racial discrimination is mainly pressed on black people. Indeed, there are some flaws in the black personality that neither the yellow race nor the white race have, and there was even a black leader who tearfully said that God did not give us love at all, and that we were not born to create. However, it has to be said that a very important reason for some black problems in the world, especially in the United States, is the indifference and isolation of white people from the heart.
Even if they are polite on the surface, the estrangement in their hearts is sometimes more hurtful than the scolding on the surface.
So Li Chencan sang this song, and also had a bit of a sense of the previous Matru. Pitt and his duel are a bit of an outlet, although he is not black, but Maitroux deliberately made himself an enemy of the American music scene, as long as the smart person should be able to hear his own meaning in the song.
Li Chencan also specially filmed the MV for this song, and after the previous song that reached the top, he now has more knowledge of the MV, so this time he mainly invited Curt, a very famous black star in the NBA, to participate in the MV.
For such a song, Curt certainly wouldn't say no...... In addition, the MV of the original "JAM" was already excellent, so this MV was quite good.
From beginning to end, the music video follows a basketball that magically jumps through the street before being taken into a building...... In short, it continues the style of the MV in another time and space, so the MV plus this song is very fast, and there is a very intense dance in the MV, which makes the MV have a very explosive performance ability......
Soon, "JAM" has rushed to the top 10 of the charts!
Li Chencan also saw his ability in composition in such a success, and he has indeed gradually possessed a prototype, and is gradually perfecting his wings along this prototype.
After the appearance of this song "JAM", everyone was surprised again to find that in front of Li Chencan, it was difficult to find someone to resist him...... Even in the American music scene. Of course, Li Chencan is now mainly relying on the explosion of a few songs, and for the time being, he will definitely not have the same background as he does in China.
But at such a time, a lot of things are enough.
Li Chencan's ranking in the American Vocal Artists Chart has reached the top 50, and this song "JAM" has also reached the top a week after its release! As a result, another song by Li Chencan appeared in the Voice of America singles list, although it has been released for a long time, "thriller" and "BAD" are still in the top ten, which makes the top ten of this chart have four songs by Li Chencan, which is jaw-dropping.
Sure enough, the American music scene in this time and space has the same high tolerance as the American music scene in another time and space. In another time and space, pop music in the American music scene is very tolerant, unlike the Chinese music scene in that time and space, pop music is basically locked in the aspect of love and love, and has almost entered a dead end.
The two pieces of music reached the top, making Li Chencan's status in the American music scene higher and higher, of course, more people are eyeing him, after all, if there is another top music, Li Chencan's songs will be crowned three times in a row. (To be continued......)
