Chapter 88 The Second Single
On the first day of the new year, Ryan's second single I.Believe.I.can.fly was officially released. Like he, there was no single release conference. After all, it would not be long before his first single was released. A solo album is about to come out, and all the enthusiasm should be accumulated until then.
Ryan has already made it clear that all the personal profits from this single will be donated to Princess Diana's charitable foundation. This is not Disney's cake, and they will naturally have no objection.
The intensive publicity has not stopped since December, and both the quality of the single and the album have given Hollywood record companies strong confidence.
Ryan also showed his influence among teens, with school holidays and a boom in record stores across the country.
The quality of this song is even better than he, and Ryan's voice has become more endearing after the voice change period.
I thought I couldn't hold on, life is just a melancholy song, but now I understand what true love means, I learned the most durable weapon in life, as long as I can see hope, I can succeed, as long as I I believe that I can do it, then nothing is impossible, I believe that I can fly, I believe that I can touch the sky, day and night, I'm imagining this scene, spreading my wings and flying high...
In the face of the hot sales, the owners of the record store played the song in the store one after another, attracting more attention.
This song in the previous life was the theme song of Slam Dunk in the Air. It was born for the basketball emperor. It is one of the best R\u0026amp;B songs in Grammy's history. Among them, the elements of black music did not affect the popularity of the song.
Even without that movie, it would still be a hit.
After the new week, the Hollywood record company is very busy. Unlike before, many people have a relaxed smile on their faces. They are so happy for the first time since the Hollywood record company was established.
Music director John Burns came to the CEO's office early, waiting for the latest sales statistics.
John, can you sit down? Sitting behind the desk, CEO Reed said dissatisfiedly, You walk back and forth like this, so I can't work with peace of mind.
Work? Do you still have the heart to work? John Burns curled his lips.
Okay, I'm in a hurry too...
The knock on the door rang at this time, and Reed's female secretary entered the office and handed the document to her immediate boss.
Is it a sales statistic? John Burns didn't care about the distinction between superiors and subordinates, he rushed to Reed's seat in two steps, and stretched his head to read the numbers on the document.
1...2...6, six figures, 211,213 sheets!
Reed and John Burns let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and then their faces showed uncontrollable excitement. For a single, it is already very good to have such a result in the first week.
Unfortunately, it didn't exceed the first-week sales of I.will.Always.Love.you. John Burns still has some regrets, I.Believe.I.can.fly in the other created by Riel Jenkins In front of a song, it can only be said to be a complete failure.
Come on, John. Reed was very open. For the record industry, Ryan can only be regarded as a newcomer. Whitney Houston is a superstar who has been famous for many years.
All right,
This result has actually exceeded our expectations. Now can we celebrate? John Burns turned his attention to the wine cabinet, I know you have a bottle of Martell in your collection, hurry up and take it out?
Are you sure you're going to celebrate now? Reed pushed him aside. Don't forget, Ryan's album is about to be released!
I'll let you go this time, and I'll celebrate when the album sells!
Apparently, the popularity of this single gave John Burns a lot of confidence.
At the same time, Ryan, who was enjoying the New Year's holiday, received a call from the record company to announce the good news. He just smiled lightly. This song was originally a golden song in his previous life. It is normal to sell such sales. Let's talk about it. , all the proceeds from the single were donated, and no matter how much he sold, he couldn't get a penny.
He still disdains such dishonest things as repentance and non-payment of donations.
After cutting off the phone, Ryan picked up the colored pencil and sketched it on the sketch. A sketch was about to be completed.
The painting is a thin girl in a striped short-sleeved shirt, with a dark brown bob covering a sad face, two lines of clear tears hanging from her bright eyes, and a silver-white sun-shaped pendant around her neck that stands out. .
Ryan made the final stroke, changed to a carbon pencil, and wrote 'Mathilda' on it.
The door was pushed open, and Nicole walked in with a few magazines, went to the easel, glanced at the pencil sketch, and then glanced at the photo frame in the glass cabinet, and asked, This is... special?
Ah? Nicole. Ryan looked at the painting a little fascinated, only then did he realize that Nicole came to him.
Scenario setting draft? Nicole was a little curious, she knew that Ryan was writing a script for Natalie, The script for Nat is finished?
The first draft is done. Ryan nodded, the script dragged on for months.
Here you are. Nicole handed over the magazine. The latest Billboard and Rolling Stone.
Ryan sat aside and flipped through the magazine, while Nicole flipped through the already drawn sub-shot setups, which were basically all portraits of little girls based on Natalie.
Wow~ Ryan let out a cheer, of course he was happy to get good results with the song he sang.
In the latest issue of the Billboard charts, I.Believe.I.can.fly took the runner-up throne, and on top of it is an impenetrable mountain, Whitney Houston's Iwillalwaysloveyou .
This is normal. Ryan has never thought that I.Believe.I.can.fly can be compared to Iwillalwaysloveyou, even if the two songs in this world are from him, not to mention, although his singing voice is becoming more and more mature, but There is still a certain gap than Whitney Houston.
Besides, Iwillalwaysloveyou has the movie Bodyguard to cheer, but I.Believe.I.can.fly lacks Slam Dunk. Although Ryan doesn't like basketball, he also knows that the basketball emperor is missing. It still has some influence on this song.
However, this song is more of a warm-up for the album, as long as the current momentum can be maintained.
Billboard Magazine also reviewed the song.
'I.Believe.I.can.fly' is Ryan Jenkins' second single, and unlike 'he', which is playful and sarcastic, this R\u0026amp;B song is inspirational taste.”
Ryan's clear singing has a hint of hoarseness. The first section of the song gives people a low-key and heavy feeling. As the tune progresses, his singing is like a sea of high tide, constantly rolling and jumping. , march toward the climax in the openness, and when you reach the peak, spread your wings and soar!
He opened the Rolling Stone magazine again. Compared with Billboard, Rolling Stone sometimes focuses more on the singer.
Ryan's singing is like a spark before the darkness disappears, with light, hope, pursuit, and finally light. He and his song are like shooting stars across the dark night sky, showing a brilliant The light, like a morning star in the darkness, points the way to the confused traveler.
This song is like Ryan's life, starting in the dark and cold, gradually moving towards the light, and finally flying high. This is one of the best R\u0026amp;B songs of all time.
From the few songs he has released, it can be seen that this boy is full of musical talent. Let's look forward to his first album in his life together!
After reading the two magazines that almost praised him, Ryan didn't bother to read the remaining ones, so he simply returned to the cloakroom, changed into a sports suit, and took Nicole to the gym to play pool. The combination of Yi is the king. He has been chasing Killer Leon these days, so it's time to relax.
I.Believe.I.can.fly has not stopped moving forward. With word of mouth and popular on-demand on the radio, the sales of singles in the second week not only did not decline, but instead ushered in a small peak. sold nearly 240,000 copies.
The Hollywood record company has been encouraged by the crowd, and they have also established the confidence to cut a piece of the cake from the record market.
While praising the song, many media also expressed their expectations for Ryan's first album.
Yes, I'm very much looking forward to Ryan's first album. I'm looking forward to that day coming as soon as possible. We can't wait. The fan who was interviewed by the TV station immediately expressed the thoughts of many teenagers.
Of course, there are not only praises, but also complaints.
Ryan's song is really good, but I would like to see the fourth episode of Harry Potter one day earlier, the new year has passed so long, neither Ryan nor the publisher have told us that the fourth episode will be published. Time, I'm worried that Ryan is giving his time to music and movies and forgetting that we book fans exist.
It's not just individuals, several fan organizations have also voiced their voices, hoping to see the fourth episode of Harry Potter as soon as possible.
At this time, some fans jumped out again, saying that Ryan has not taken any more film appointments since Terminator 2, and they would like to continue to see his superb performance on the big screen.
Despite the behind-the-scenes relationship between record companies and publishing houses, the hype has just begun, so how did it reach its climax? Ryan clearly feels that his influence among teenagers in the United States is getting wider and wider. This is a good thing, isn't it?
After entering the middle of January, the Alien Publishing House under the Alien magazine took the lead in jumping out and held a press conference to announce that the fourth episode of the Harry Potter series Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be released from the second edition. From the 1st of the month, it will be launched in major bookstores in North America and England.
Harry Potter fans were instantly overjoyed, wishing that tomorrow would be February 1st.
In this way, the Hollywood record company has an objection. The launch time of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire coincides with their publicity plan for a considerable period of time. It is difficult to say that it will not affect the sales of the album.
Ryan, it's better to delay the release of Harry Potter! Reed also called specifically for this.
I'm sorry, Reed, the contract for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has already been signed. Ryan sighed, it is impossible to delay, after all, the agreement for the novel was already signed in October last year. signed.
Is there no other way? Reed still didn't give up.
Ryan curled his lips. He didn't think the novel and the record would hold each other back. Instead, he felt that one plus one was greater than two. Besides, the contract in black and white was there, should he be required to pay the liquidated damages?
Reed, I've turned the press's North American signings down, that's the only thing I can do.
……The second more~~~ Tickets and collections come to some~~
