"Fantasy" won the championship in the first week of release, and it was the first women's "empty crown single" in history, Columbia Records originally thought that this single would continue to win for several weeks, but it never expected that it would be squeezed into second place in the second week.

But in the face of such a result, they are not sad at all, because it is the second first single "young and beautiful" from the "Daydream" album that squeezed it into second place.

"Young and Beautiful" has become the second women's "empty crown single" in history after "Fantasy", and Mariah Carey also became the first singer in history to win two consecutive empty crown singles with these two songs.

This week, Maria Carey has been killing all over the charts, with the top two songs on the charts coming from her new albums, and at the back of the charts, there are also some of her old songs.

When a singer releases a new song, some of the previous old songs will also become popular, which is normal.

Thanks to this song, "Yellow", which has been released for a long time, has once again squeezed into the 25th place on the singles chart, which is better than many new songs.

Columbia Records is also very realistic, they saw that "Young and Beautiful" squeezed "Fantasy" off the top of the chart, and they knew that the former must be more competitive later, so they immediately began to tilt promotional resources to this song.

How did it become a song?

By the second week, the song was still very strong, and once again it took the number one spot on the singles chart.

After listening to Zhou Yan's explanation, Briegman was very happy, he called to confirm this matter, he had to know whether the song was given to the movie first, or Mariah Carey first, if it was given to the movie first, it would be more conducive to their publicity.

"It's not early, our studio is all going to work at half past eight."

The movie was released at the same time as the theme album, and December 22 became especially important, and the neon reporters certainly didn't miss it.

Zhou Yan immediately understood what Brigman was planning.

"Director Zhou, I haven't been in touch for a few days, how are you doing?"

He went to report in a unified manner, and the process was a little easier.

These are all burdens for Zhou Yan.

For three weeks in a row, the top two singles charts were all Mary Carey songs, and this is also the fourth time in a row that this album has won the top song, during this time, Mary Carey has been in the limelight for a while.

This song is so popular now, if everyone knows that the song was written by Zhou Yan for the movie, it will definitely attract the audience to the cinema to watch it.

Most of the majors of CCTV are still more practical than classroom learning, and it is definitely a good thing for students to go out to perform more.

With so many people going to the United States, there must be a lot of information to prepare.

After hanging up Zhang Youan's phone, Zhou Yan went to the recording studio to tell the orchestra's juniors and sisters the news, asking them to prepare in advance.

Zhou Yan's music and movies have been a huge success in Neon, and now as long as it is related to Zhou Yan, Neon is very interested in it.

And interestingly, Zhou Yan's third theme music album "Yulin Bell" will also be released on December 22, when the album will be released simultaneously in Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Xiangjiang, Macau and other regions, as well as Neon.

"Well, that's a good idea."

The publicity was still very useful, and fans immediately became interested in the movie "Sense and Sensibility".

"Mariah Carey is still very tasteful, and maybe, when the movie premieres, she can be invited to sing this song live." Brigman said.

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Briegman also went on to say, "Then you mean that this song was given to us with the soundtrack first, and then sung to Mariah Carey?" ”

In the third week, the entire album was officially released, and several other songs from the same album also made the charts, but they did not shake the first place in "Young and Beautiful", or even the second place in "Fantasy".

On October 15, Briegman called Zhou Yan again, telling him that "The Sixth Sense" had started filming the day before yesterday and planned to finish all filming on November 16.

“……”

Interestingly, another song on the same album, "Fantasy", also chased after it and firmly pinned it to the second place.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes." ”

Hearing Breegman's words, Zhou Yan immediately realized something, and he asked, "Is "Sense and Sensibility" going to be released in mid-December? ”

Briegman didn't hide it, "That's the case, what do you think?" ”

Faced with the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yan hesitated.

Just when "Young and Beautiful" dominated the North American charts, "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" had also been sent to the Berlin Film Festival for exhibition, and the release time in the mainland was also determined.

Before he can do that, though, there is one thing that Brigman must be sure.

On December 22, the film will premiere in mainland China, and on the day of the premiere, Tomson Film Company will hold a premiere ceremony in Yenching, where media reporters from all over the world will be invited to the scene.

"No, you tell me the time, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"It's a pity."

And Zhou Yan has recently been thinking about arranging some foreign performances for the Piano Youth Orchestra, since he is going to the United States, he just brought the orchestra with him.

Columbia Pictures also publicly stated that Maria Carey's performance of the song is very good, and he looks forward to the opportunity for them to work together.

Brigman laughed, "That's right, "Sense and Sensibility" will be officially released on December 13, and the premiere will be held on the same day. ”

"So, when I go to the United States, I can still attend the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" by the way?"

Hearing Zhou Yan say yes, Brigman was very happy, "Since that's the case, then I'll arrange a trip for you." ”

But soon, he understood, because he heard that the composer of the song was Zhou Yan.

……

When this movie was released, in addition to the mainland, the most concerned was neon.

When Zhou Yan returned to the studio from school, he received a call from Yang Dongsheng again.

Briegman pouted, he hadn't even said when the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" was, and this refusal was really unhearted.

The song was written to the soundtrack of the movie, and it was impossible for Brigman not to hear it.

"We would like to invite the Chinese National Orchestra to perform "Memories of the Forbidden City", and you will play the bamboo flute in the middle, and of course, your position will be very high."

Since Zhou Yan asked directly, Yang Dongsheng didn't say hello again, "That's the case, this year I am fortunate to be a member of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala again, after the director team researched, I decided to invite you to participate in a show, because we have contacted before, so I will contact you this time." ”

Since the last "Yanjing Silent" concert, Zhou Yan and Yang Dongsheng have almost no contact, so Zhou Yan was quite surprised when he received Yang Dongsheng's call.

It seems that it was Zhou Yan who sold this song to Mariah Carey to sing.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, that's a good idea, you can arrange it." ”

"Well, keep in touch."

Hearing Yang Dongsheng's words, Zhou Yan suddenly remembered the previous chat with Yu Hua some time ago, when they had just talked about the Spring Festival Gala, but they didn't expect to receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Yan knew that Blegman's call across the ocean was definitely not just for the sake of congratulatory greetings.

"Congratulations, I listened to the new song you wrote for Mariah Carey, it is very good, and the lyrics are also very well written, and now this song is very popular in the United States."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Thanks to Director Yang, everything is fine, I don't know what happened when Director Yang suddenly called me?" ”

"Sense and Sensibility" was originally a masterpiece, and its fame is certainly not low, but with such publicity, the popularity will become higher and more down-to-earth.

Yang Dongsheng said with a smile, "You guys are a late program, but yours are not particularly nervous about this kind of program." ”

……

"This song was written for your soundtrack before, and speaking of which, I would like to thank you for the inspiration from the movie."

……

"Well, I'll send you the list of entourages in a moment. There's a part of the itinerary that you need to talk to Brigman. ”

Thinking about it carefully, I remembered, isn't this the soundtrack written by Zhou Yan for "Sense and Sensibility"?

Although it is the premiere of the movie, there will definitely be reporters who will ask some questions related to the album, after all, this is first-hand information.

"No problem, I'll give him a call right away. By the way, since I am going to the United States to hold a concert, I think I will simply add the first release region of "Yulin Bell" to North America, and the concert will be promoted by the way. ”

But this show, the most important thing is the song and Zhou Yan, if Zhou Yan is not allowed to show up, the effect will be much worse.

After discussing and discussing, I thought of this plan and let the Chinese national orchestra play, and Zhou Yan joined as a bamboo flute player, and the problem was solved at once.

The next day, the news came out that "Young and Beautiful" was the soundtrack to "Sense and Sensibility".

Therefore, Briegman immediately thought of using this song to promote it.

After that, he had to report the matter to the principal, and in December, when the school work was heavier, he needed to take leave himself, and many students also needed to take leave.

It is said that it invites media reporters from all over the world, but in fact, it is mainly Chinese reporters who are invited, as well as a small number of neon reporters, and there may be a few media from Europe and the United States.

Zhang Youan was also very happy after hearing this, "This is a good thing, I'll arrange it." ”

In fact, this kind of thing will not have any negative impact on the movie, and the soundtrack of many movies will sample some classic tracks, so you don't have to worry about having been listened to.

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't speak, Yang Dongsheng said, "Director Zhou, if you have any ideas, you can mention them." ”

Especially the soundtrack, although he can also make the soundtrack for the movie here in China, it is really not as convenient as him going directly.

And this wave of publicity is not only beneficial to the movie, but also very beneficial to the song, and people who know "Sense and Sensibility" will also pay attention to this song because of this news.

When Brigman heard the song on the radio, he immediately felt that the melody was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The result was just as Zhou Yan expected, and the school quickly agreed.

In fact, Braegman's request is not too much at all, not to mention the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility", the remake of "The Sixth Sense" As an investor, screenwriter and soundtrack director, it is indeed not good for him not to show up once.

This is a decision made by the director team after careful consideration.

And the Spring Festival Gala program is not trivial, there is no room for mistakes, so there are a lot of rehearsals, if you agree, then in the next few months, Zhou Yan needs to spend a lot of time to practice with the Chinese orchestra, and he also has to participate in several rehearsals of the Spring Festival Gala.

Could it be that the tune is leaked? It shouldn't be, after all, it's Mariah Carey who sings this song.

Although Zhou Yan can also work from home, he is still used to going to the studio, which will make him feel more worked, and he can communicate with them at any time about many things, and Zhou Yan prefers a regular life.

"I don't know what show the director team wants me to participate in?"

Brigman then asked, "Do you have time for the premiere then?" ”

"Y, you're going to the studio so early."

At the beginning, it was Yang Dongsheng who proposed that Zhou Yan could lead the troupe to perform "Memories of the Forbidden City", but after discussion by the director team, they thought that the piano youth orchestra was too young, and the attributes of the orchestra were not the most suitable.

"I'll probably be busy, so I'm afraid I won't be able to attend."

Since you're going, it's good to attend the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" by the way.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No, I just received an invitation suddenly, and I was a little surprised." ”

"Of course, the last time I was in a concert in London, I played this piece, and Mary Carey was listening to it at the time, and she thought it was very good, so she came to ask for this song." Zhou Yan explained the situation roughly.

It's a good thing for him to be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but at the end of the year, he is busy, and there will be conflicts in time.

After hanging up Briegman's phone, Zhou Yan called Zhang Youan and told him that he was going to the United States and was going to arrange music for the Piano Youth Orchestra.

On the contrary, as soon as this song comes out, it will have a positive impact on the movie.

"Okay, I won't bother you with your work."

Taking advantage of the time when he went to the United States, arranging one or two concerts can be regarded as opening up the market.

……

"The film will be filmed and cut at the same time, and the post-production work such as the soundtrack will start in December, do you have time to come to the United States in December?"

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Brigman called Zhou Yan, he first called Zhou Yan's house, but no one answered, he called the studio again, and this time the phone was connected.

……

"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you in the United States."

They can't control this matter, because when Zhou Yan signed the soundtrack contract with them, the copyright matter was stipulated, and Zhou Yan had the right to give the song to anyone to sing without notifying them.

In fact, in this regard, the school is still relatively relaxed, as long as it does not encounter more important things such as graduation performances, basically the school will let it go.

But Brigman couldn't debunk it, he just said, "That's a shame." ”

In fact, Yang Dongsheng is right, this kind of performance program has a lot more time, at least compared with language programs.

For language programs, the script needs to be new, it takes time to create, and there will be a lot of revisions.

But Zhou Yan and their show are different, the tunes are all set, as long as they practice. (End of chapter)
