Chapter 61: The First Single
With the school holidays in the United States, the hottest summer file of the year has come again, but after entering June, the most eye-catching thing is not the sci-fi blockbuster "Terminator 2" that will premiere on Independence Day, nor the red giant bear that is gradually moving towards the end of the empire, nor the Kuwait oil field that is still burning, the first thing that will detonate the entire summer file is a single.
"Listeners and friends, good evening, this is the National Public Radio music special, I am your old friend Mark Winster, music is a bridge between people, music can cleanse people's hearts, a natural song can make everyone have endless aftertaste, a good song can accompany you into sleep, what is a good song? Don't worry, listen to Mark's recommendations for you! ”
"Maybe people are complaining, Mark, what the hell are you recommending, it's all songs from the 80s! Can you stop recommending Madonna and Whitney Houston, I've heard enough! Well, today Mark has fulfilled your wish by recommending a new song, a new song for an eleven-year-old boy, from Ryan Jenkins, yes! You heard it right, this Ryan Jenkins is Ryan Jenkins, a boy from Los Angeles. Well, before you start playing the song, a word of advice to everyone, if you are eating or drinking, swallow it immediately, or you will bear the consequences. ”
"Please enjoy the super genius's first single "HE"!"
The playful and light music sounded through the radio and reached the ears of countless people, and just a prelude attracted the attention of a considerable number of people, but when Ryan's pure and hoarse singing voice sounded, most people began to open their mouths wide.
"He is the brightest star, he rises and speaks beautifully, but the beautiful language is frightening, it turns out that it is ten thousand years of cold ice that can hurt people!
The light flickered and the alarm bell rang for a long time, and he was like the eyes of an evil dragon, staring at innocent children and beautiful women, inflicting slanderous torture on them......"
He? Who is he? When people heard this song, a handsome face immediately flashed in front of their eyes, and the appearance of a smart and tricky boy, and they couldn't help but laugh.
The staff, who were overwhelmed by the heavy workload, were relieved of their burdens by laughter; Children who are haunted by the confusion of adolescence are re-cheerful in laughter; The workers, who were overheaded by unemployment, gradually regained their confidence amid laughter.
As countless music critics have said, great songs always resonate, and this song is catchy, playful, and full of irony, reminiscent of the conflict between Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise.
They seem to see a thin boy being bullied by an adult big star, but they are powerless to fight back, so they can only hum such a song and run away from the big star, leaving only a piece of ridicule.
With the help of Disney's channels, the single quickly sold in major record stores, and with such a boo, how could the tabloids let it go, they re-translated what happened between the two people, and several major TV stations replayed the video of the conflict.
For a while, Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise became well-known names in the United States, and even if they went to interview homeless people on the street, they could tell a thing or two about the past between the two.
But the difference is that Ryan is on the side of justice again, after all, there is not a single curse in the whole song, and the tune is not gloomy and vicious, more like a child's naughty work.
Tom Cruise has once again become the target of public criticism, I don't know which tabloid actually bought the best Jenkins couple, they took the initiative to break the news that they were not Ryan Jenkins's parents, and the reason why they did so was because they were instructed to get a lot of money.
Although there is no evidence pointing to Tom Cruise, the media still used vague words such as 'maybe', 'probably', and 'probably', and couldn't wait to put the hat on the head of the cream boy.
In order to attract attention, these guys will not care if they give Jehovah a false accusation, and besides, this matter may not be a false accusation.
I have to say that the evil consequences of Tom Cruise's lack of Pie Kingsley in this life have been revealed, and the current agent's crisis public relations ability is limited, making him more and more passive, and even his fans expressed their disappointment in their idols in interviews.
"I'm disappointed, I've always liked Tommy, but I don't understand, he's an adult superstar, weishenme wants to deal with minors so deliberately, such a person is not worthy of my continued worship!"
With such a topical and controversial song, it is difficult not to be popular, not to mention, the quality of this song is definitely the best choice, plus after more than a year, whether it is a book fan or a movie fan, Ryan has a large number of die-hard fans, these people can't help in his conflict with Tom Cruise, but they can support their idol by buying singles.
There are even many media who ask Ryan through various ways whether he is Tom Cruise, Ryan is not a fool, so naturally he will not admit it, anyway, everyone can just tacitly do it.
Maybe adults will put it aside after listening to it, but in the eyes of teenagers, this is a rare good song, especially this ingenious way of fighting back, which is more in line with their tastes, you know, now**Eminem has not debuted, little Taylor is not even Lori, this playful way of scolding without dirty words is extraordinarily eye-catching.
And teenagers are the main consumer group in the entertainment market, and Ryan is known as a super genius, and the sales of this single can be imagined.
After the first week, "HE" won 113,000 copies, which is incomparable with the singer who has been famous for a long time, but it is already a very good result for newcomers in the music industry.
The song became the first choice for swearing, and many teenagers changed the lyrics, added the object of their hatred, and hummed it around, making the song's reach continue to expand, and the number of on-demand broadcasts on the radio skyrocketed, further boosting the sales of the single.
After the latest issue of Billboard came out, "HE" sat directly in the seventh position.
It's just that compared to the song, almost all the media has focused on the singer, after all, the boy is so surprising, even since the video of his conflict with Tom Cruise was exposed, most people know that he also has extraordinary creative talent in music, but they didn't expect him to actually release a single, or in this jaw-dropping way.
After the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine was published, it only briefly evaluated the songs, and the main target was Ryan Jenkins.
"There is no doubt that "HE" is an excellent song, Ryan uses a relaxed hum to show the agility and mischievous nature of this song, even if his singing voice still has certain flaws, but don't forget, he is only 11 years old this year, and it is rare to be able to do such a thing at this age."
In addition, Ryan is not only the singer of this song, but also the songwriter, and this single should just be testing the waters, presumably the Los Angeles boy will soon release his own record.
Compared to other media, Mick Taylor of the Los Angeles Times once again got the scoop, revealing in a column for the entertainment section: "We know from within Disney that "HE" was written by Ryan after returning to the lounge after a press conference at Disney, and it took only half an hour to write. ”
"It's clear that Ryan Jenkins is God's masterpiece, he has a great artistic talent, he has shown extraordinary achievements in literature, film, music, etc., and he is a God-given gem to Hollywood."
A few days later, Hollywood Records also gave an interview to reporters, and music director John Burns said so.
"Yes, we signed Ryan to a record deal, and HE was really a test of the waters. What the? Sales? No, no, no, it's not at all out of our minds, how good this song is, how good Ryan is, I think all the people in America know it, isn't it? In my opinion, Ryan has a rare musical talent, even far beyond writing and acting, and he is the most haode among his peers. ”
"Yes, I have something to say to him, Ryan, you should put all your energy into music, and here you will achieve amazing things. Well, hopefully his book and movie fans won't be mad about it. ”
"Ryan's album? It will not be issued in the short term. Cause? Quite simply, he is now in the stage of voice change, and we must protect his vocal cords. Yes, as long as we get through the vocal change period, we will put the production of an album on the agenda. ”
"Songs? No, in fact, the song Ryan of the album is ready, that's right! All the lyrics and music will be done by himself. ”
As time went on, the song became more and more popular, and after the second week, "HE" unexpectedly reached the top of the Billboard charts, Ryan had his first number one single, and the single sold 250,000 copies, and Hollywood labels finally saw the light of day and found an opportunity to get a piece of the record market.
"Reed, the record company is ready, as long as Ryan Jenkins allows, immediately put the album on the agenda, no matter what the reason, I must have someone to provide him with services during the voice change period, and feedback his condition in time."
Disney is meeting a board meeting, and Reed Myers and Carter Eisner, who are leading the recent key projects, were allowed to make an exception to attend, and it was CEO Michael Eisner who spoke.
"Carter, when will preparations begin for a sequel to Home Alone?" He asked his nephew.
"Ryan has turned down the request to star, and he's already authorized us to write the script and make a sequel." Carter hurriedly explained, "Actually, Ryan has developed too fast this year, and he is really not suitable to continue to play this kind of funny and cute children's role, whether it is height or appearance." ”
Disney's directors recalled Ryan's current appearance and nodded, indeed, if he was allowed to star in a sequel, it might be a disaster.
"However, he recommended a suitable person to us." Carter added, "Macaulay Culkin, who starred in 'Uncle Buck,' we've been in contact with him, and it's okay, of course, not to Ryan. ”
