1990: Starting From Baojia Street

Chapter 545 You Guys Treated My Concert as a Team Building

Of course, after listening to these two songs, Jessica thought that there must be many more good songs in "About Time", which made her look forward to the early release of "About Time" in North America.

Unfortunately, so far, they have not heard any news about the release of "About Time" in North America.

While Jessica was letting her mind go, the performance on the stage was still going on, and the song had been sung for two-thirds.

Wang Lihong, who was standing next to Nick, spent most of the time holding his guitar and singing with his head down, looking very cool.

He looked only about 20 years old, very young, and now standing with Nick and the others, he looked like a member of the Backstreet Boys.

In fact, Wang Lihong was not really cool, he was just a little nervous because it was his first time on such a big stage.

Before he came, he heard that there were more than 17,000 spectators on the scene today, and he was still imagining what a stage with more than 17,000 spectators would look like.

Before Wang Lihong was on the biggest stage, there were only 5,000 or 6,000 spectators in the audience, and he felt that it was already a lot at that time, and this stage would be tripled.

Now that he has actually stepped onto the stage, he finds that the calculations he made in his mind before are meaningless.

A stage with 17,000 spectators is completely different from a stage with a few thousand spectators, and cannot be simply compared by multiples.

Standing on the stage, Wang Lihong felt that the audience was like an ocean, with no end in sight.

There were only more than 17,000 spectators, what would it feel like if there were 100,000 people?

Because he was nervous, Wang Lihong did not look up, making others mistakenly think that he was cool.

However, although he was very nervous, his cooperation with the Backstreet Boys was very successful.

They only met for the first time yesterday afternoon, and they did not rehearse for too long, but the effect of the cooperation was very good.

Wang Lihong's solo and the harmony version with the Backstreet Boys, it is hard to say which one is better, but for an occasion like today, the harmony version is obviously more suitable and the atmosphere is better.

After the performance, Wang Lihong did not hang around on the stage, greeted the audience, nodded to Nick and others, and then retreated.

After "How Long Will I Love You", there was only one song left, and the concert ended at regular time.

Afterwards, the audience sang an encore, and they returned to sing four more songs before the concert finally ended.

After the concert, Jessica and Hardison walked out of the theater, and happened to meet Linda, a reporter from "Billboard", who stopped the audience for an interview.

Linda also glanced at the two of them and immediately ran over with a microphone.

"Jessica, wait a minute."

Hearing Linda calling out her name, Jessica stopped and said with a smile, "You actually still remember my name."

Linda laughed, "This is the third time we have met, of course I can remember your name."

It was also fate, Linda had interviewed Jessica and her friends twice before.

Of course, it was not just fate, but also because Jessica and her friends were really good-looking and could be seen at a glance in the crowd.

"What do you want to ask today?" After two experiences, Jessica has taken the initiative to cue the process.

Linda smiled and nodded. It was easier to interview acquaintances.

"You should be sitting in the front again today, right?"

Linda likes to interview Jessica and the others because they always sit in the front.

"Yes, in the front."

"How did you feel after watching today's concert?"

"It felt very good. I have been following them for a long time. In recent years, their singing skills have been getting better and better, and their stage style has become more mature."

"Do you have any suggestions for them?"

Jessica smiled and said, "I suggest that they come to Los Angeles more often so that I can see them more often."

"Haha, I'm afraid fans in other cities have the same idea as you. Today's concert has a special guest, Leehom Wang, who sang a new song. You should be very happy, right?"

The first time Linda interviewed Jessica was at Zhou Yan's concert. She knew that Jessica was a fan of Zhou Yan.

"Of course." Jessica nodded excitedly, "We have been waiting for this new song. It was supposed to be released yesterday, but two days ago, we were suddenly notified that the release would be postponed. We were quite disappointed. We didn't expect to hear it live tonight. It happens that the new song will be released tomorrow, and we can listen to it again."

"It seems that you are very satisfied with this song."

"You must be satisfied, even beyond my expectations. This new singer performed very well. Is he Chinese like Y?"

Linda shook her head, "I don't know his specific situation, but I will interview him soon. Remember to pay attention to the column on Billboard later, and you will see related articles."

Jessica nodded, "Well, I have read all your recent articles."

Linda has almost become a "Y expert". Now all the articles related to Y on Billboard are written by Linda.

A few days ago, Celine Dion sang "all of me" at a concert, and Linda also wrote an article specifically analyzing this song.

After Linda goes back today, she will definitely write an article about the new song.

"Thank you for your support. Do you have any suggestions for my article?"

"I suggest you write more, especially recently, everyone is paying attention to the soundtrack of Y's new movie."

Linda nodded, "No problem, we are also following up, and we will not let you down. Can you still remember the lyrics of the song just now?"

"I can remember the sentence "How long will I love you."

"Haha, I believe that everyone who has listened to this song will not forget this sentence. When you listen to this song, do you think of any picture in your mind?"

Jessica tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "I actually don't think of any picture. When I listen to the song, I feel that my whole head is empty, and my thoughts flow with the melody."

"I just interviewed a few passers-by, and two girls recalled the scene of being confessed."

"Confessed... This song is indeed very suitable for confession, or wedding."

"Well, wedding, there is one last question. When "About Time" is released, will you go to the cinema to watch it?"

"Of course!" Jessica immediately gave a positive answer.

Linda nodded. She knew the answer when she asked this question.

As loyal fans of Y, Jessica and the others couldn't miss going to the cinema to watch Y's new movie.

"Okay, thank you for accepting the interview. I hope we can meet again next time."

"Maybe next time will be at the entrance of the cinema." Jessica smiled.

"If we can meet at the entrance of the cinema, I will definitely arrange an interview for you two." Linda smiled.

It is more likely to meet at concerts and music concerts. After all, there are few such events and there is only one place. As long as they all come to participate, there is a good chance of meeting.

But movies are different. Not to mention the whole country, there are countless cinemas in Los Angeles alone. Unless you make an appointment in advance, it is difficult to go to the same cinema.

And even if you go to the same cinema, the show times may not be the same.

Linda said this because the possibility is extremely small.

...

Zhou Yan received a call from Xu Xiangjie at around ten o'clock the next morning. During the call, Xu Xiangjie reported to Zhou Yan about Wang Lihong's situation at the Backstreet Boys concert.

"Lihong's performance was very good, and the response was also very good. We have prepared the press release and will send it out tomorrow."

Since Wang Lihong is going to be promoted in Europe and the United States, we naturally have to be careful. As early as when Wang Lihong was confirmed to be a guest at the Backstreet Boys' concert, Huanyin had already contacted some media to prepare for the promotion.

This time, with the popularity of the Backstreet Boys and the theme song of "About Time", it is easy to promote.

In fact, Zhou Yan originally planned to let Wang Lihong and Mariah Carey sing "Bleeding Love" together, so that Mariah Carey could help Wang Lihong increase his popularity.

But later, after thinking about it seriously, he still felt that the effect of the two of them together might not be good, so the duet should be put aside for now.

After hearing that everything was going well on Wang Lihong's side, Zhou Yan gave a few simple instructions and hung up the phone.

Not long after he hung up the phone, the phone on the table rang.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

He picked up the phone and said, "Who is this?"

Zhang Manyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's me, Maggie."

When he heard it was Zhang Manyu, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows.

He rarely talked to Zhang Manyu on the phone, and Zhang Manyu's call at this critical moment was probably related to the Forbidden City concert.

Sure enough, before Zhou Yan could speak, Zhang Manyu immediately said, "Do you still have tickets for your concert in May?"

Zhou Yan smiled and asked, "How many do you want?"

Zhang Manyu didn't expect Zhou Yan to ask her directly how many tickets she wanted, and was stunned for a moment. She thought about it and said, "Just one."

"Okay, I'll save one for you. Do you want to arrange your seats with Guorong and others together?"

"That would be the best, I just heard him say it and found out about your concert."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes. Zhang Guorong, this guy, had promised him not to promote it to others, but he turned around and ran to tell Zhang Manyu.

"Then will you come together at that time?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Not necessarily. He may go there a few days in advance. I will probably arrive on the same day or a day in advance. Of course, if I have nothing else to do during those days, I will consider going with them."

"I didn't expect you all to be free at this time."

"Well, I'm also quite free during this period."

Maggie Cheung is indeed quite free during this period. Since the second half of last year, she has basically not taken any work.

They have taken fewer roles in the past two years. On the one hand, they are indeed tired and want to rest. On the other hand, it is related to the return of Hong Kong.

Seeing that Hong Kong will return in a few months, the film companies in Hong Kong are also very cautious and dare not arrange too much work.

After the return, we don't know what will happen. Don't shoot the movie now. If it can't be released at that time, or if it encounters big trouble after the release, it will be more than worth the loss.

Maggie Cheung and others want to come to Zhou Yan's concert, which is more or less related to the return.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yan should be considered their strongest connection in the mainland, although they don't know that Zhou Yan's real background is far beyond their knowledge.

"If you come over at that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

"I understand, you must be very busy during that time. I will ask them to pick me up first... By the way, will Xiaoxian go? Do I want to ask her for a ticket? I don't know if they have followed her She said. ”

Zhou Yan smiled on the end of the phone. Joey Wong knew the news earlier than all of them. As for the ticket, Zhou Yan had already left it for her.

"She's coming, yes, I can let her take care of you. It's natural for my sister to take care of her sister."

Zhang Manyu is a few years older than Joey Wong, but in "The Green Snake", Joey Wong plays Zhang Manyu's sister, so Zhou Yan said so.

"Then your brother-in-law can't neglect your duties." Zhang Manyu said as Zhou Yan said.

"Don't worry, when you come here, I will give you food and accommodation. You can stay in our staff dormitory and eat in the cafeteria." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"So you're so stingy."

"It's not okay if you don't sting a little bit. My studio consumes a lot of money every day. If you don't sting a little bit, how can you make a movie?"

"You have to pay for your own money when you make a movie? I'm afraid there are many people looking for you with a lot of money, and you don't want to ask for it."

"Haha, if they don't want to share the money, I don't mind taking it away."

"...Okay, I won't disturb your work anymore, keep the ticket for me."

"No problem, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan took out the notebook in the drawer and wrote Zhang Manyu's name on it.

After Zhang Manyu called, until five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yan received five more calls, all of whom came to ask him about the concert tickets.

Among them, the three links were all called from Xiangjiang, namely Tony Leung, Du Zichi and Zhang Xueyou.

After Zhou Yan asked, he realized that the fact that he was going to hold a concert in Taimiao had spread in the entertainment circle in Xiangjiang.

It's only less than a day, which shows how small the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is.

Du Zizhi heard what Zhang Xueyou said, Zhang Xueyou heard what Anita Mui said, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung heard Gong Li, and Zhang Manyu and Leslie Cheung both heard what Leslie Cheung said.

At this stage, the source of the news is Gong Li.

At six o'clock, Anita Mui called again.

When Zhou Yanren received the call from Anita Mui, she was irritated.

He complained directly on the phone, "Sister Amei, you are treating my concert as a team building. The key is, team building is just team building. Can you please vote together? Don't give it to everyone I made a phone call, and I can't even pay the phone bill."

Anita Mui laughed, "The key is that we didn't expect so many people to go at the beginning, so that's why. After saying one, one called you."

"Okay, then how many tickets do you want?"

"I didn't ask for votes for myself. One of the two tickets he wanted was given to me."

The atrocity she said was nothing but Leslie Cheung.

"Who do you want it for?"

"Farewell, I'll ask for two tickets for her."

When he heard that Anita Mui was asking for a vote for Faye Wong, Zhou Yan didn't say anything and simply agreed, "No problem." (The end of this chapter)
