Chapter 147: Album Promotion
"Wu Ji" has had a very bad impact on the Chinese film industry, because of the failure of "Wu Ji", the domestic fantasy blockbuster is almost stillborn.
Before he was born, he was choked to death by "Wuji".
The signboard of "Chinese Fantasy", since "Wu Ji", has stinked on the streets of overseas film companies, and has also involved "Golden Armor" and "Night Banquet".
Later, Chinese filmmakers, because of "Wu Ji", rarely or almost never touched the fantasy genre.
Even if it is filmed, it is adapted by IPs such as "Journey to the West" and "Liao Zhai", and no one makes original fantasy.
Of course, we can't blame "Wuji" for the recession of domestic fantasy, and we must also take into account a series of problems such as the backwardness of domestic industrialization.
But it is still the same sentence, in the production environment of the domestic director-centered system, the director is the core leader of a crew, the movie is a big hit, the director's status and salary are rising with the tide, and the film has problems or even losses, and the director must be responsible.
Anyway, after watching the movie at the premiere, Zhang Yuanjun no longer paid attention to "Wuji" later.
Instead, he devoted his main work energy to the pre-promotion of the album.
The new album will be officially released next week, at least the publicity activities in the capital area will gradually be rolled out.
Today, he and producer Zhang Yadong will be a guest at Xinlang Entertainment, talk about his music dreams, and will interact with the fans and audiences at the scene and give gifts.
"Although I chose to perform, music has always been a dream in my heart," Zhang Yuanjun said, "Literature, music, art, it seems that everyone had more or less this idea when they were young."
"It just so happened that time Brother Yadong said, you sing well, let's make a few songs. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then in Xiangshan, when I was filming "Condor", the producer of Maitian took the initiative to come to me to talk about cooperation, and I thought about it, and I wanted to rest for a while after "Condor", so I agreed to release an album to try. ”
Zhang Yuanjun didn't know how many times he had said similar things during this time.
Later, when it came to the creation of lyrics and songs, the host asked Zhang Yuanjun why he wanted to take over the lyrics and songs himself.
Zhang Yuanjun said: "In fact, there is no package, most of the lyrics and songs I provide are samples or drafts, and a lot of perfect work is actually completed by Yadongge with his professional team." ”
Zhang Yadong took over: "Your draft is actually very perfect, and it can be completed smoothly when you get it to any music company." The two also humbled each other.
The host asked Zhang Yadong and Zhang Yuanjun how it felt to cooperate.
Zhang Yadong said: "Yuan Jun's album is the easiest I have ever done, he is a very assertive singer, because the lyrics and songs are written by him, so he knows very well what he wants when he enters the recording studio." All we have to do is adjust the machine to record him, and then make up for his shortcomings in some singing techniques. The whole album has 14 songs, and we recorded ......"
"Two months." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"No, forty days, counting the demo in Xiangshan, there are two months." Zhang Yadong counted the days, "For a music newcomer, this time is very fast. ”
"We all know that Yuan Jun is an actor, and now he has released an album, will there be a conflict between acting and singing? How do you balance acting and singing? ”
Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "Actually, it's okay." We finished recording the album before the filming of "Rise to Fame", and I was not busy after the finale, so I kept following the production team to make the album, and I was not nervous about the scenes behind, so it should not have any impact on my singing. Busy. ”
The host had obviously auditioned it, and asked him again: "I listened to the 14 songs on the album, and they are all very good." There is a question I have always wanted to ask, that is, I found that among these 14 songs, there seem to be very few mainstream love songs now, not even half of them, what kind of considerations were the original selection of songs? ”
This question was answered by Zhang Yadong: "At that time, Yuan Jun took over twenty or thirty songs, we usually set a theme for the album before choosing the song, discussed it for a few days, and decided to set a youth theme for the album. ”
The host obviously caught Zhang Yadong's words: "Yadong just said that Yuan Jun gave you twenty or thirty songs, and the songs that were not selected, do we the audience have a chance to hear them?" ”
The host's words drew cheers from the audience of fans at the scene.
Zhang Yadong and Zhang Yuanjun looked at each other and smiled, but Zhang Yuanjun said: "If I have a chance in the future, I will sing to everyone." ”
Next, Zhang Yuanjun and Zhang Yadong, under the guidance of the host, talked a lot about the production of the album.
Then came the most exciting audience interaction, with a small number of spectators and more than 100 people.
A male audience, one of Zhang Yuanjun's rare male fans, put forward his own request: "I especially like the song "Young and Promising". "There are already many fans who have bought the pre-sale album, "can I invite Yuanjun to ...... live"
As soon as the word "live" was spoken, it received a warm response from the audience.
"Can you please sing "Young and Promising" live?"
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and naturally agreed: "Okay." "There was already a singing session today," the music teacher gave a key. ”
The music teacher at the scene gave a tune.
"Okay," Zhang Yuanjun accepted the tune, "sing a chorus." ”
When the music started, Zhang Yuanjun opened his voice:
"It turned out that I felt sorry for me, I didn't understand it at that time.
"If I am young and promising, I am not inferior, and I know what is precious, those beautiful dreams will not give you and I will be ashamed of my life. If I am young and do something, I know how to advance and retreat, so I won't let you suffer for me, at the wedding, drink a few more glasses, and the one you are now. ”
Zhang Yuanjun jumped directly to the end: "At the wedding, drink a few more glasses, and wish me a promising youth." ”
Zhang Yuanjun knows that his singing skills are average, so since he decided to release the album, he has practiced his singing skills hard under the guidance of professional vocal teachers and has made a lot of progress.
The live ability is not like eating a CD, but at least it has reached the level of a professional singer.
He made preparations in advance for today's promotion, so this song was not sung.
Won the cheers of the audience.
Finally, the host ordered a female fan to come on stage and sing with Zhang Yuanjun.
The host asked fans to order the song themselves, and she said: "I like "Damn Tender" the most, this song is particularly good. ”
Zhang Yuanjun is very suspicious that this fan was arranged by the program team, this girl's singing skills cannot be said to be comparable to professional singers, but among ordinary people, it is definitely good.
The adjustment is very accurate, and there is no stage fright.
Zhang Yuanjun intended to fulfill this fan, and in "Damn Gentle", he let this fan sing most of the parts and accompany him.
After singing, Zhang Yuanjun took the lead in applauding her: "It's so good to sing." ”
The female fan smiled shyly: "Thank you." He hugged Zhang Yuanjun lightly and stepped down.
At this point, the show is almost over.
The host made a closing speech: "Although Yuan Jun is an actor, but this time he entered the music scene, the songs he brought are all very good, let us wish Yuan Jun's new album to be a big hit, and I also wish him to go further and further on the road of film and television." Thank you Yuanjun and Brother Yadong for being guests at Xinlang Entertainment today, and we'll see you next time. ”
After the shutdown, the publicity did not end.
Zhang Yuanjun will sign autographs, take photos, and give gifts to fans on stage, but this link is not cut in the feature film.
"Yuanjun, your album is very good, I bought 10 copies." The female fan who sang with him just now said when she asked for an autograph poster.
Zhang Yuanjun raised his head and smiled: "Why do you buy so much?" ”
"That's good, I bought it for a friend."
"Thank you." The album is about to go on sale, and Zhang Yuanjun can't ask people to buy less.
