Chapter 274: Set a small goal and earn 500 million in two years!
The singing of "Call Me Maybe" resounded on the fully open MV filming set.
Compared with the original singing squatting girl in Wu Yuan's impression, Liu Yifei's singing voice is three points sweeter.
To be honest, Liu Yifei, who is in her early twenties, is still weird and charming with that little milk voice.
When she was a minor before, even because her voice was too milky and sweet, she needed voice actors to match her cold voice in "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Although her voice is a little more "mature" than when she was a teenager, it is not much more mature.
To put it bluntly, 21-year-old Liu Yifei is a sweet girl.
At least when she's jumping and singing, it's really super sweet.
Wu Yuan saw that his aunt smiled on his face.
Soon, after a short video clip of the MV was filmed, Liu Yifei put down the wired microphone in his hand, looked around the set, and immediately noticed Wu Yuan standing on the outermost periphery with his chest hugged.
"Senior brother, you're here~" With a bright smile on his face, Liu Yifei trotted into Wu Yuan's arms, completely undisguised.
The eyes of all the staff on the set followed her footsteps and looked at Wu Yuan.
βWawo~β
βDaniel WuοΌβ
βWhatοΌοΌβ
A suppressed exclamation sounded on the set.
Most of the people who do MV shooting work are half of the people in the film and television industry.
As a person in the film and television industry, even in North America, almost no one does not know Wu Yuan.
This is currently the sixth director in the world to enter the billion-dollar club at the box office!
Although Wu Yuan has not released many movies in North America, he has accumulated more than $1 billion at the box office in North America with just a few movies, and the total global box office is nearly $3 billion!
Such a director is simply a big name among the big names for this group of staff who are still at the bottom of the film and television industry such as MV.
Including the director of this MV, everyone immediately rushed up and greeted Wu Yuan warmly.
Liu Yifei, who hadn't seen Wu Yuan for a long time and wanted to say a few intimate words to him, had no choice but to puff out his mouth and give up the position next to him.
"Daniel, are you here to spy on Crystal?" James, the MV director with glasses and a beard, hugged Wu Yuan warmly and said quite complimentingly: "Crystal is the best Chinese singer I have ever seen. β
"But she's actually an actress." Wu Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh, of course I do." James also laughed: "She is one of the stars of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and I am very much looking forward to this work. β
"Actually, I'm a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, I love this series so much, Captain Jack is very charismatic, and Elizabeth is beautiful."
"Thank you." Wu Yuan nodded reservedly: "Is the shooting going well?" β
"Of course, it went very well, and Crystal did a great job."
The other staff members also stepped forward one by one to try to greet Wu Yuan, and the topic revolved around Liu Yifei.
The fact that Liu Yifei is Wu Yuan's girlfriend is not a secret between them.
After all, these songs and the cooperation with the record company were all promoted by Wu Yuan, and his personal assistant Daisy followed Liu Yifei throughout the whole process, almost becoming Liu Yifei's assistant.
Everyone tacitly agreed, so in front of Wu Yuan, they all praised Liu Yifei for his dedication and good singing.
Fortunately, after a lot of excitement, the set returned to normal order, and the staff returned to their posts one after another, and Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli had space to chat with Wu Yuan.
"You're here." Liu Xiaoli nodded at Wu Yuan with a smile.
Now she is more and more satisfied with this son-in-law, and she also knows that the young couple has not seen each other for a long time, and there must be a lot of private things to say, just after saying hello, she took Daisy back to the car to rest, leaving the space for the two of them.
"How is it, is it hard to record songs?" Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's hand and asked in a caring tone.
But looking at Liu Yifei's enthusiastic appearance, it seems that she is still quite happy.
Sure enough, Liu Yifei shook his head and said happily: "It's not hard, it's very interesting." β
"Singing is completely different from acting."
"Acting is more about the fulfillment of character building, but singing is all about showing yourself, and it's all fun."
"Well, if you like it." Wu Yuan nodded: "After the MV is recorded, these two singles are almost ready to be released, as soon as the publicity work is arranged, the major radio stations in North America will also play these two songs at that time, I believe that soon you will become famous in North America as a singer." β
Singers are not promoted in the same way as actors.
The plays performed by the actors are all screened through TV stations and movie theaters, and then attract the attention of the audience.
But singers, especially rookie singers, want to be well-known, all rely on various radio stations in North America.
As we all know, the United States is known as a country built on wheels, is the country with the largest number of cars in the world, and almost every household relies on cars to travel, so the car radio service in North America is very developed.
People in North America are also accustomed to listening to music stations while driving.
Popular singers like Britney, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and other popular singers in North America all relied on frequent radio shows to promote their songs at the beginning of their popularity.
For example, Taylor Swift's first music single "Tim McGraw" relied on Taylor Swift and his mother to recommend themselves to the radio station to get the opportunity to play and promote the radio, and then it became uncontrollable and quickly became famous in North America.
Later, in '09, she released the single "You Belong With Me", which was listened to 112 million times on US radio within a week of its release.
Wu Yuan doesn't expect Liu Yifei's first single to get more than 100 million radio broadcasts, but as long as the publicity runs diligently enough and has a few more radio programs in major first-tier cities in North America, it should be no problem for "Call Me Maybe" to get 50 or 60 million radio broadcasts a week.
With this amount of foundation, if this song is released as a MV again, the probability of becoming popular on the Internet will be very high.
That's how Liu Yifei will be very hard, flying everywhere between major cities in North America, which is comparable to a movie roadshow.
"The promotion of these two singles will be very hard, you have to be mentally prepared." Wu Yuan took a preventive injection in advance.
Liu Yifei's eyes rolled, and she didn't care about it, is it easy to be an actor, isn't it the same as breaking her leg during the promotion period of the work, she has long been used to it.
Instead, she remembered another thing, and leaned into Wu Yuan's arms with great interest, and said with a grin: "Senior brother, you are here all here, why don't you come to play the leading role of my MV?" β
"The model the director is looking for, although he is indeed in good shape, but it is still almost interesting compared to you."
"How sensational is it to say that the MV given to me by an international director to play the leading actor?"
Wu Yuan wordlessly pushed Liu Yifei's head away closer and closer, and said with a black line: "Sissi, don't make trouble." β
"You're planning to make our relationship public?"
"How else do you explain my appearance in your new song MV?"
"What's this?" Liu Yifei puffed out his mouth and said indifferently: "I invite you warmly, you are very gracious, can't you explain it like this." β
"Who can convince such a lame reason?" Wu Yuan asked angrily: "Besides, I still wrote the script of this MV, and the actor wants to show off his figure in the script, where do I have a figure to show off?" β
The original MV of "Call Me Maybe" is quite interesting, this MV was in Wu Yuan's dream at the time, and it also exploded around the world, with hundreds of millions of YouTube views, so Wu Yuan also copied it.
In the MV, Liu Yifei, the heroine, fell in love at first sight with the handsome, sunny and good male neighbor with eight-pack abs, and tried every means to get close to him, all kinds of.
Then she wrote the song, rehearsed in the garage with her band friends, and sang a confession to this "male god".
After the sweet confession was sung, I thought that I had completely mastered this male god, but I didn't expect the plot to be reversed.
Just as she was about to take out the sticky note and leave a phone number for the male god, the male god walked up to the male guitarist of the band, gave him a note with his phone number written on it, and made a "Call Me" gesture to him.
It turned out that the heroine was discharged in vain for a long time, and the male god who fell in love at first sight was actually a gay!
The MV ends with an extremely witty ending.
In the entire MV, this actor is the most important character, who needs to be handsome and in good shape, showing eight-pack abs and a male dog's waist, bullet muscles, and bat back.
Although Wu Yuan's appearance is still very good, as a director, his figure is really not so toned, he can only be regarded as well-proportioned.
Liu Yifei's proposal was rejected by Wu Yuan without the slightest hesitation.
"Don't mess around, shoot this MV honestly." Wu Yuan poked Liu Yifei's forehead: "Everyone has invited half of the male protagonists to play, and there is nothing wrong, how can there be a reason to change people halfway." β
"You are also an actor, don't you know how much damage this kind of behavior is to him?"
Liu Yifei, who was reprimanded by Wu Yuan, pursed her lips, and she also knew that her temporary intention was indeed a little inappropriate, so she had to pull her head deafly and mutter, "Got it." β
"Alright." Rubbing Liu Yifei's head, Wu Yuan shook his head and smiled: "You continue to shoot, I'm just here to see you, everything goes well." β
"I still have something to do, I have to go to the company, and I'll talk about other things when I get home in the evening."
Since Liu Yifei is all going well, Wu Yuan doesn't plan to stay longer, he has nothing to do here.
After instructing Liu Yifei a few words, Wu Yuan left the set again, didn't even bring Daisy, and went to the Light Age alone.
John had been waiting for him in the company for a long time.
Although the work of the light era is regularly sent to Wu Yuan's mailbox, if there is anything important, John will also have an online meeting or report by phone with him.
But Wu Yuan really can't not show up in front of the employees of the Light Age for a long time, since he came to the United States, he still has to go to the company for a turn.
By the way, talk to John about the next phase of the development of the Light Age.
With the gradual expansion of theaters and streaming media businesses in the era of light and shadow, Wu Yuan needs more and more funds.
And the light era, which is the most important cash cow in his hand at this stage, must plan the company's business in the next two or three years!
Set a small goal first!
Earn him 500 million dollars in two years!
