On March 2, Liu Yifei's first wave of English single "Call Me Maybe" is scheduled to be officially released today.

Because it's a single, not an official album, and not even an EP, the song doesn't have any physical DVD releases, it's just on online streaming platforms.

In the United States, music streaming media developed much earlier than in China, and the genuine mechanism is relatively sound.

Apple's iPods have been on sale for seven years and have gone through six generations.

iTunes' streaming music platform has become the largest online paid music platform in North America and even in the world.

"Call Me Maybe" was released on iTunes Music at 1 p.m. on March 2nd.

Because this is an English song, before it was launched, Wu Yuan did not arrange for the company in Huaxia to do any publicity work for Liu Yifei.

At present, Apple's iTunes business is not very sound in China, and almost no Chinese people use iTunes to download songs.

Although, the iPod also sells very well in China, and it is considered the most advanced MP3 player.

But you know, you know, there are free song sources on the Huaxia Internet, who spends money to download music?

Even when the iphone is popular all over the country, there are very few Chinese users who use iTunes, and when some domestic singing and dancing singers want to rush to Europe and the United States, their fans will organize iTunes to buy single sales for their brothers.

A new song was launched, and the sales results on iTunes on the day it was put on the shelves overwhelmed Rihanna, stunned the North American old iron, and then it was reported, and it was directly removed from the list.

Wu Yuan didn't want to throw this face abroad ten years in advance.

Therefore, the launch of "Call Me Maybe" on iTunes this time is very low-key, just spending money to brush up on the sales of about 10,000 copies to support the scene.

Even after the MV with the song was released on YouTube, it didn't cause any waves.

However, the cold reaction when it was put on the shelves does not mean anything.

How can there be so many songs in the world that can quickly become popular without investing any publicity costs, and become popular by word of mouth from fans?

According to the arrangement of the North American record company that Wu Yuan found, Liu Yifei flew to New York on the 2nd.

On the morning of the 3rd, Liu Yifei and several team members came to the downstairs of a radio station in New York.

Introduction.

The Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, which is often referred to as the Billboard chart.

Billboard rankings are determined by the sum of record sales in the United States and the number of times a single has been broadcast on the radio.

Therefore, the number of radio broadcasts is crucial to whether it can break into the billboard list.

On the American side, influential big radio DJs can really decide whether a song can hit the billboard charts.

Like Liu Yifei's "Call Me Maybe", the cooperative record company in the United States has stuffed money for many well-known radio DJs in North America to let them play this song on demand for more than a week in the next week.

This kind of operation is a bit like the feeling of posting pictures and texts or making evaluation videos on the Internet after the development of online social platforms in later generations.

I don't know if it's because the money is in place, but when I met this legendary radio DJ who is very famous in New York at the radio company, he was very enthusiastic.

"Hey, Crystal, right?" , a white DJ who was dressed very casually and wore a fancy rimless glasses, greeted Liu Yifei very enthusiastically as soon as he saw him:

"Wow, you're really beautiful, the most beautiful Asian girl I've ever seen."

"I listened to your new song yesterday, and it's really good."

"This kind of sweet saliva song is still quite popular with listeners, which is in line with the positioning of our radio station."

Saliva song is actually not a derogatory word.

The so-called saliva songs are actually more routine, easy to be sung, and when you listen to them, the audience will hum them with the singers, and it is easy to spread popular songs.

Like "Call Me Maybe", this DJ can basically sing after listening to it two or three times, and the melody of this song will pop up in his mind from time to time in his free time, making him subconsciously hum a few words.

That's why he thinks that this song is likely to become popular in North America, and he is also more enthusiastic about Liu Yifei.

Even if you are collecting money to do things, as a professional DJ, you want to recommend some really good songs to the audience, instead of feeding the audience!

"Thanks for the compliment." Liu Yifei smiled reservedly, refused his warm hug, and just reached out to shake him.

Not being able to hug the beauty disappointed the white DJ a bit, and he shrugged his shoulders and joked, "Well, I know you Asians don't seem to be very used to greeting each other with hugs." ”

"Just introduce yourself, just call me Irfan, don't be too out-of-the-envelope."

Looking at the time on his watch, Owen whistled, "Alright, beauty, our radio show is about to start, come with me to the recording studio." ”

After entering the recording studio, Owen stopped giggling, and began to seriously introduce to Liu Yifei that this button could not be touched, that button could not be clicked, and after roughly going through the radio program process with her, a smile resurfaced on his face.

As a radio DJ who can make his mark in a big city like New York, Owen certainly has a few brushes, at least when it comes to his shows, and he takes it very seriously.

Looking at Liu Yifei, who honestly put the headphones on his head and sat in front of the microphone obediently, after he took a look at the time, he gently pushed the signal and turned on the radio.

"Yo, listeners and friends who are standing in front of the radio, good afternoon, did you have a good day?"

"This is Owen's Music Patty!"

"Today, we have a very special guest for our radio station."

"She is the main actor of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and is a superstar from China!"

"She is the queen actor of Hollywood director Daniel Wu in China!"

"And today, she's coming to our show with her debut English single 'Call Me Maybe'."

"She's Crystal Liu from Huaxia, oh, forgive me, this Huaxia surname is really hard to pronounce, let's just call her Crystal."

"So, before today's show officially begins, let's listen to this new song "Call Me Maybe" from Crystal!"

At the beginning of the radio program, Owen first put on Liu Yifei's new song, which can be said to give her a lot of face.

At this moment, there are about one or two million listeners in New York, listening to his radio program on time.

On Manhattan, the most prosperous district of New York, John, who was waiting for a traffic light on Fifth Avenue, stopped at the intersection and skillfully turned on the radio, and heard Owen's words.

“Crystal？” He muttered to himself in confusion, realizing that he didn't know this Chinese superstar at all.

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that when he was paying attention to the news of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", it seemed that he did see a Reuters photo of an Asian actress participating.

Although he is still very new to this singer, for the sake of Daniel Wu's face, as a loyal fan of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he still chooses to continue listening to it.

Soon, a light music sounded in the carriage.

“I threw a wish in the well.”

[I made a wish to the Wishing Well]

“Don’t ask me I’ll never tell.”

[Don't ask me what I promised, I'll never say it]

“I looked to you as it fell.”

[When I look at you, it's like falling in love]

“and now you’re in my way.”

And now you are in my life.

The light melody and sweet voice immediately attracted John's attention.

Originally, he was still a little careless, but unconsciously shook his head up and down to the melody, and hummed along with his mouth.

I have to admit that the song "Call Me Maybe" is really brainwashing, especially the chorus, which is unforgettable after listening to it once, and keeps repeating it in my mind.

Liu Yifei's singing skills are actually not very powerful, after all, she has only received one year of professional training, to say how professional she is and how many singers she is, it must be nonsense.

But in such a sweet song with a low treble, a low bottom, and no difficult transposition throughout the whole process, her singing skills are absolutely enough.

“Hey I just met you~”

[Hey, I just met you]

“and this is crazy！”

[It's crazy]

“But here’s my number~”

[But here's my phone number]

“So' Call Me Maybe！”

[So maybe you can call me]

No skill, it's all about the voice!

The sweet singing voice made John smile unconsciously at his aunt.

It wasn't until the horn sounded in the back car that he came back to his senses, and it turned out that the green light was already on.

Humming a light and sweet chorus to the rhythm of the music, John stepped on the gas pedal and got back on the road.

Not only him, but millions of people in New York at this time were intoxicated by this light and sweet song because of the appearance of this song.

The 3 minutes and 13 seconds of the song was quickly played, and the radio microphone was back in Owen's hands.

"Wow! Do you think this song is awesome? ”

"Yes, I think so too, so the first time I heard this song, I shared it with you."

"Within two days of the single's launch, more than 10,000 copies have been sold online, and it has reached the fifth place on the iTunes real-time popularity chart."

"As a Chinese singer, this is quite a remarkable achievement."

"Listeners who are listening in front of the radio station, if you haven't heard enough just now, you can go to the iTunes website and pay for this song to listen to it."

"Remember, this song is called Call Me Maybe, and it was sung by Crystal Liu, so let's do it!"

It's a good radio music program, and Owen makes it look like he's doing some kind of TV sales.

I can't help it, I've received the money.

Liu Yifei listened to his boasting, and his cheeks were also a little red.

The more than 10,000 copies sold on iTunes were almost all swiped by record companies.

A single costs $2, and more than 10,000 copies cost more than $20,000.

It's not that Wu Yuan is stingy and unwilling to spend more money, but this water injection is also skillful, Liu Yifei is a newcomer in North America, and 10,000 brushes are really up to the sky, and if you brush more, you will be criticized by other companies.

"Okay, that's all for recommendations."

"Today, we are fortunate to have the original singer of this song, let Crystal say hello to everyone and talk about the interesting things about this single!"

Owen continued to host the radio show, and Liu Yifei also had a smile on his face.

"Hello listeners of Owen's Music Patty program, I'm Crystal Liu, an actress and a singer."

"It's an honor to be a guest on Owen's radio show."

“……”

Brothers, I have a cold and fever, I really have black chicken mackerel, and I have a low-grade fever all day.

Today's first two are more stable, rest assured, said that it will be done three times a week (seven days), and it will be done if it is not enough.
