"It's a song about love at first sight, and I think everyone has probably had that experience of wanting to get close to someone but stopping because of timidity, and I have had it anyway."

Liu Yifei introduced: "So, there is this song that encourages everyone to bravely step forward and leave a phone call for him when they see the boy they like." ”

Owen's radio program is not long, only 40 minutes in total, plus he has to share five to eight songs in each episode, and then gag, in fact, Liu Yifei and him don't talk much.

The two also chatted about the recording of this song, the MV shooting process, mentioned that the MV ending was very reversed, and also mentioned "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" by the way.

There's no way, Liu Yifei can't talk about much in the United States, and the American people have never paid attention to anyone and anything outside North America, so she can only talk about "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Liu Yifei is also proficient in English, plus he has interview, Owen and his interview went quite smoothly, although the listening rate of the show did not skyrocket like that of well-known singers, but it was about the same as his listening rate in the same period.

Her performance was already beyond Owen's expectations, not as boring as he imagined Asians, but rather rather memorable.

At the end of the show, Owen also played the sound source of "Call Me Maybe" again, which was considered to be full for her to play.

"With Crystal's "Call Me Maybe", that's all for today's radio show, thank you all for listening!"

"We'll see you tomorrow this time! Bye-bye~"

Owen disconnected the radio stream, removed the headphones, and said lightly, "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Crystal, I have a hunch that your song will definitely be a hit in North America!"

Liu Yifei had a bright smile on his face.

As a well-known music radio DJ in New York, Owen's musical aesthetic vision is definitely more professional than most music critics.

To be praised by him, Liu Yifei was of course very happy.

Senior brother is really powerful, not only is he great at making movies and writing scripts, but he is also so good at writing songs!

After the recording of the radio program, Liu Yifei will immediately rush to the next program activity.

She had a busy schedule for the next week, not only running four radio programs, but also one TV music program, which was very busy.

Of course, in other radio programs she didn't participate in, the record company also stuffed up the money.

Most of the radio programs in North America are private DJs, not the kind of official TV stations in China, so they are also relatively easy to operate.

On average, a radio DJ can play "Call Me Maybe" once for $3,000, and record companies have paid at least 120 well-known radio DJs across the United States.

From March 3rd, the song "Call Me Maybe" can be heard everywhere in private cars running on the streets from the West Coast to the East Coast.

On March 6, at eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Yifei had just finished recording an evening music radio program.

This time to participate in the radio program, Liu Yifei was completely recorded under the praise of the DJ, and even the radio listening rate was the first in the same period.

The reason is nothing, that is, the list of Billboard for the new week is out.

With 86,000 copies sold, "Call Me Maybe" landed at No. 15 on Billboard.

Rookie singer, the first English single, directly airborne on the Billboard 15.

This achievement is undoubtedly extremely unbelievable.

Because in the B-list ranking formula, sales only account for 25 percent, and the majority is still radio.

In the case of 86,000 singles, it landed on the Billboard fifteenth, which obviously shows that Liu Yifei's song has been played in large numbers by major radio stations in the United States in offline radio programs, and after the broadcast, it has been ordered by many listeners again.

As a rookie singer, Liu Yifei has no past popularity and popularity bonuses!

The fact that she was able to achieve such good results in the first week of her new song on the shelves can only show that the song "Call Me Maybe" is really liked by Americans, a song that is very suitable for appetite, and its own strength is strong enough.

With a relaxed melody, simple lyrics, and Liu Yifei's sweet voice, listeners fell in love with the song as soon as they heard it on the radio.

Many listeners who only turned on the radio in the middle of the way and only heard the second half of the song called the radio station to ask about the song as soon as they finished listening, or looked it up on the Internet according to the lyrics they had memorized.

The MV for "Call Me Maybe" released on YouTube, after just one day of no attention, the number of hits also skyrocketed, breaking one million on the 3rd, three million on the 4th, and 10 million views on the 5th.

Listening to this song with the MV is much more enjoyable than just listening to this song.

The lyrics of this song tell the story of a woman who has a crush on a man and wants to confess but is ashamed to say it, which sounds a bit old-fashioned.

However, the MV jumped out of the routine of "girls and boys live happily ever after".

In the MV, Liu Yifei plays a girl who is obsessed with a beautiful gardener.

Under the guidance of her friend, she sang this confession song for him in the garage, and successfully attracted the attention of the beautiful man.

And just when she wanted to give her phone number to the beautiful man, the bloody came.

The gardener took the lead and stuffed his phone number to ——— not Liu Yifei, but her band member, who was still a man.

So the girl Huaichun MV - the MV that turned into a passionate MV in seconds.

Originally, the song was good enough, and the MV was so memesay, "Call Me Maybe" quickly exploded on YouTube, rushing into the top 10 of the weekly video list and the first place on the real-time click list.

Well, now it's not just listeners who are used to listening to the radio that know about the song.

Young Americans, who are accustomed to surfing the Internet and watching YouTube videos, also know and love the song.

Undoubtedly, "Call Me Maybe" is a light song suitable for all ages, and it has the characteristics of brainwashing and communication.

Even the 23-year-old MV actor was repeatedly asked by a group of rotten girls on the Internet, wanting to know who this handsome guy is and what works he has.

When it comes to this point, the explosion of "Call Me Maybe" on the Internet has become an established fact, and the momentum is no longer stoppable.

And because the MV of this song is so stalked, almost every fan who listens to this song will watch the MV repeatedly.

As a result, Liu Yifei, a star who is very unfamiliar to most Americans, quickly entered the public eye.

Although, many Asians look the same way when they look at Europeans and Americans, and conversely, many Europeans and Americans are also face blind to Asians.

But this range does not include handsome guys and beautiful women.

Eastern and Western aesthetics also have something in common in many cases.

For example, Anne Hathaway, Audrey Hepburn, Sophie Marceau, and other top European and American beauties are also very beautiful in the eyes of Asians, and there is no problem of face blindness that cannot be recognized.

And Liu Yifei, a top oriental beauty with top bone and skin appearance, is also quite recognizable in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

Liu Yifei, who sings and dances in the MV and has a sweet smile, has really soared in popularity in North America this time.

The search volume for the words "Crystal Wu" and "Liu YI FEI" on Google is also skyrocketing.

Some of the online videos made by Liu Yifei's previous Chinese movie clips have also been transmitted from the Internet in mainland China to North America.

It was at this time that Filipino fans in mainland China learned that their idols had gone to the United States to release new English songs, and the results were very good, which aroused the enthusiastic response of European and American music fans.

Many music critics in mainstream music magazines in North America also noticed this song, noticed this newcomer in the North American music scene, and commented on "Call Me Maybe" in their column

The editor-in-chief of American Music commented: "Crystal's voice is slightly nasal, sweet but not greasy, and Call Me Maybe's melodies are catchy, and the arrangement is retro and playful, and it is a good pop love song that will be repeated when you listen to it." ”

"Rolling Stone" describes the tune of the song as absolutely brainwashing: "Can you imagine a fresh Taylor Swift meeting a bad Robin?"

"It's a folk tune with a pop and disco flavor."

An MTV commentator said, "I can't tell you how many times this song has been repeated on my iTunes, but I can't stop just pressing play." ”

A good and easy-to-sing song may not necessarily be a hit.

But if there is enough publicity exposure, it will definitely become a hit.

When Call Me May debuted in Canada on September 20, 2011, it sold only 604 copies due to a lack of publicity.

So how did this song become popular all over the world?

This is thanks to the squatting girl's fellow countryman, Justin Bieber, who is also from Canada.

In December 2011, Canadian king Justin Bieber walked into a café while he was dating his girlfriend at the time.

The manager of this café happens to be a fan of Squatting Girl, and it is this song "Call Me Maybe" that is displayed in the store.

As soon as Bieber heard this song, he immediately thought it was really good. So he publicly stated on Twitter: "This is probably the most attractive song I've ever heard." ”

It was such a coincidence that Justin Bieber, the world's top and scandalous little king at the time, heard this song and turned into tap water.

Bieber really likes this song very much, he not only tweeted, but also mentioned in various public occasions that it is his favorite song recently, led his fans to sing it together, and even appeared at the performance of the squatting girl to sing with her.

Under Bieber's personal promotion, this song entered the public eye, and then it became a hot mess.

And this time, Liu Yifei sang this song, although there was no support from a little king like Bieber, but Wu Yuan was willing to spend money and bought the publicity of more than 100 radio stations in the United States, which can be said to have directly skipped the early difficulties encountered by the squatting girl.

In March 2008, this virus-like divine comedy successfully ignited the entire North America, and even the entire European and American world.

And not only in the United States, "Call Me Maybe" has started to sell like crazy all over the world.

Thanks to the very developed Internet, although Liu Yifei is a newcomer, he has become popular across borders on the Internet very quickly.

In its second week of release, Call Me May has topped the singles charts in Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

On the billboard, after the 15th place in the airborne, the second week of the ranking was released, and "Call Me Maybe" directly rushed into the second place, sitting on the second place!

Flowers bloom outside the wall, and fragrance is also fragrant inside the wall.

When the news of Liu Yifei and "Call Me Maybe" exploded on the Internet, it was returned.

In those mainstream music magazines in North America, music critics and editors-in-chief commented on the song and Liu Yifei were translated into Chinese and posted back to major forums in the mainland.

"Call Me Maybe" also quickly became popular in China, and became a huge hit, and the song became the hottest background music in major shopping malls across the country, and the song was played back and forth in various shops in the streets and alleys.

"Call Me Maybe" and Liang Jingru's "Breathing Pain" have become a must-have playlist on the streets and alleys in March this year!

Liu Yifei, who was originally just playing tickets, really confirmed his identity as a singer this time.

And when she came up, she directly crossed all kinds of domestic competition and became a supernova sweet song diva who became popular all over the world!

It's numb, it's numb.

This time, not only the film industry, but also the music circles across the Taiwan Strait and the three places were also stunned.

Wu Yuan, who is a director and plays with cameras, how did he run an international sweet song diva!

Is there any reason for this?!
