Chapter 876: Memories
Before New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuan rehearsed alone on site for most of the day.
In addition to making new arrangements for the stage, the evening party can be said to have also invested heavily in stage design.
Anyway, according to Liu Shenglun, the indicators spent on the stage performance of Jiang Yuan's several songs were several times that of other singers, and were comparable to the stage design of a concert, rather than just a simple sound, light and electricity composition.
The promotion of the new single will also be carried out in sequence according to the previously announced promotional arrangements.
On New Year's Eve, the single's cover and preview were officially released.
The cover does not feature a portrait of Jiang Yuan as usual, but instead uses a photo taken by Jiang Yuan himself.
This is also a photo taken by Jiang Yuan imitating the original cover of the single. It is a slightly old cardboard box filled with records, shoe boxes, clothes and other items. On the box is the name of the single written in handwriting - "Memories"
The single that Jiang Yuan finally prepared for New Year's Eve was this classic song from the band Maroon 5. In Jiang Yuan's opinion, this song was very suitable for the atmosphere at the end of the year.
The preview was released early in the morning of the day, and many fans opened the Yuanyuzhou app as usual to check in daily and heard part of the new song first.
The moment I opened Yuan Universe, a pop-up window of a vinyl player popped up on the homepage.
Then, before the fans could touch the screen, a vinyl record with the word "Memories" engraved on it was placed on the record player and began to be read, simulating the texture of a real vinyl record player.
After a rustling sound, the music officially started.
Because it was still early in the morning, the air was a little chilly in late December, and many people woke up officially with the sound of music.
The trailer captured a small clip of the song. It did not specifically select a certain part of the song, but directly played the beginning of the song for the fans.
"Here's to ones that we got,
Cheer to the wish you were here but you are not……
(Fill a glass of wine, salute the guests,
Raise a glass of wine and remember my confidant...)"
The record slowly spun, and Jiang Yuan's singing voice rang out along with the slightly cheerful accompaniment.
The rhythmic melody makes the audience nod their heads involuntarily, and then react a little bit later to check the lyrics.
“Cause the drinks bring back all the memories,
Of everything we've been through...
(It’s just that alcohol makes our past memories emerge one by one…)”
The audition part only had the first four sentences, and it ended before the fans could react, which inevitably left people with a feeling of wanting more.
I had to exit Yuan Universe and click in again to listen to it again. I pondered the lyrics while listening. The melody caught my ear at the beginning, and then turned into some feelings related to the lyrics.
[The new song is so good. 】
[Early in the morning, it was a cheerful melody but somehow it was a little sad. ]
【Combined with what the party organizers revealed, there will be some different stage designs, I really want to listen to this song live. 】
[I feel this is a song that is very suitable as the theme song of the chapter tour. 】
[This song is so suitable for summing up the year. It gives me goosebumps.]
[If I want to listen to it again, I have to exit the universe and re-enter it? ]
[It seems so. The surprise pop-up window of Yuan Yuzhou should be an advance listen. The preview preview was released at 12 noon...]
-
On Yuan Universe, fans were buzzing about the new song preview.
At noon, the audition video was released simultaneously on Jiang Yuan’s accounts on all platforms.
Long before the official preview was released, fans had already searched the single title of "Memories" to the top of the music platform's search list.
Not long after the preview was officially released, it also topped the global hot search trend. Foreign fans were also very interested in this single that Jiang Yuan prepared as a New Year's gift.
The dynamic news related to Jiang Yuan updated on the external network during the New Year's Eve concert also received many times more likes than the account's previous dynamics.
In the absence of a simultaneous release of the song's MV, the new song's first performance was still broadcast live on stage, and was regarded by fans as a substitute for the MV.
"The movie's box office data this week is pretty good, and has already reached the predictions of many media accounts for our final box office."
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Fu Yunshen spoke with Jiang Yuan as usual.
On the weekdays when the movie was released the following week, although they did not participate in any activities related to the movie promotion together, Fu Yunshen still maintained contact with Jiang Yuan every day.
In the past few days, they used chat software to send messages, but the New Year's Eve period is approaching, which seems much more important, so Fu Yunshen also chose to make a phone call.
Hearing Fu Yunshen's voice coming from the receiver, Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, the box office has reached 500 million."
During the weekdays, although "Love Letter" did not become particularly popular and achieved any exaggerated box office data, it basically held the title of daily box office champion.
The box office has also been growing steadily, reaching as much as 500 million, once again reaching the professional organization's last forecast for the film's final box office.
"The final box office forecast figures have been changed by us again." Fu Yunshen was also somewhat happy. After the box office of "Love Letter" exceeded 500 million, these institutions immediately changed the forecast data in real time.
However, due to the New Year's Eve period, the number of screenings of "Love Letter" has been reduced, and many other movies specially prepared for the New Year's Eve period have been released one after another.
It can be said that this is a huge impact on the movie box office, and whether it can withstand it is indeed a question mark.
"We can actually see some clues tonight."
"It's a pity that our scheduling today doesn't have much of an advantage."
After reporting the good news, Fu Yunshen sighed again on the phone.
"Of course, this was expected earlier." Jiang Yuan was not too surprised. In a new schedule, new movies are about to be released, which is obviously more exciting than movies that have been released for many days. It is understandable that theaters give these new movies a schedule.
"But fortunately, it doesn't leave us no space at all."
Although a box office revenue of 500 million is already satisfactory enough, obviously no one would think that the movie's box office performance is too good.
"Yes, today's screenings still account for about 12%, so there is still some hope." After hearing Jiang Yuan mention it, Fu Yunshen also became more energetic.
"Once we launch the New Year's Eve event, coupled with Yan'er and I promoting it together tonight, it should be able to stimulate some box office growth." Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fu Yunshen responded repeatedly on the other end of the phone. Obviously, this was another purpose of calling Jiang Yuan.
They exchanged views on the movie's box office performance and chatted for a while, then Jiang Yuan hung up the call.
Since the finale performance was in the evening, it was almost the last moment of the New Year's Eve party.
Jiang Yuan naturally would not go to the party venue early to wait. He still stayed in the hotel to rest in the afternoon, just preparing to ask the hairdresser to do his hair in advance.
As for the departure scene, they planned to wait until nightfall.
Although Jiang Yuan did not move, his fans were already holding their tickets and preparing to check in and enter the venue.
After the official announcement that Jiang Yuan would be the finale of the show, many fans rushed to buy tickets for the New Year's Eve party, preparing to go to the scene to cheer for Jiang Yuan.
Although the New Year's Eve concert restricts fans from bringing light sticks into the venue, it does not restrict fans from bringing official cheering sticks. So when queuing to enter, everyone can still identify the fans' identities at a glance by the cheering sticks they carry with them and the purple cheering-color clothing they wear.
The number of Jiang Yuan’s fans who showed up also made fans of other artists who were also waiting in line feel like they were surrounded by a purple ocean.
However, most of the compilation concerts where Jiang Yuan has appeared have always had such a scene, so the fans themselves did not have any great feelings about it. However, many fans of other artists have taken photos on the Internet, expressing their feelings about the entrance situation at the scene.
When Jiang Yuan’s fans saw this post, they all received the reply “Don’t be stupid about basic operations”.
Because there were too many people posting, Jiang Yuan also noticed the attendance of fans on site through the Internet before leaving for the event, and the number of fans was still much more than Jiang Yuan had imagined.
After all, the official announcement of the New Year’s Eve concert was not too early, so Jiang Yuan thought it would be good enough to have some fans attend.
But judging from the repo that was leaked in advance, the scene could basically be said to be half of his home court, which made Jiang Yuan feel that performing only three songs that night seemed a little insufficient.
For the fans, the New Year’s Eve concert that night until Jiang Yuan’s appearance will be a relatively long wait.
At about the same time, all the audience had already entered the venue. In order to ensure the quality of the live broadcast, the venue of the party was also chosen to be held in the gymnasium.
There were more than 1 seats at the venue, which was quite lively. Although Jiang Yuan's fans accounted for nearly half of the people at the venue, the fans had already turned off the cheering lights in their hands before the New Year's Eve concert began.
On the one hand, I didn't want to steal the show, so I waited until Jiang Yuan appeared on stage before turning on the cheering lights. On the other hand, the cheering lights do consume a lot of battery. For the purpose of saving, I didn't turn them on.
After the party started, Jiang Yuan also officially set off for the party venue.
In one afternoon, Jiang Yuan worked with the stylist to trim his hair a little, and it looked a lot more refined than before.
After completing his hairstyle, Jiang Yuanren arrived at the scene and was on standby, while also cooperating with the makeup artist to start makeup preparations.
The New Year's Eve concert was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the originally scheduled program.
Jiang Nuan was putting on makeup and getting ready backstage in a separate lounge, where she could hear the live performances and feel the atmosphere of the audience.
Under the direction of the well-known host, every interactive session of the evening party went smoothly, except for the various performances, on-site feedback and live broadcast ratings, which were all different.
The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve concert also conforms to the law of popularity. Whenever an artist with high traffic performs on stage, the ratings will naturally be better.
However, in the view of Liu Shenglun backstage, the growth in ratings has always been in line with expectations, without any major deviations or surprises.
If this pace continues, the popularity of this New Year's Eve concert will be surpassed by other satellite TV stations.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan's existence provided Liu Shenglun with a reassurance.
Everyone knows that no matter how the show's ratings develop, they will still reach a peak when Jiang Yuan appears.
After Jiang Yuan finished her makeup backstage, she had to socialize. Many artists would knock on the door of Jiang Yuan's lounge to visit her before or after their performances.
Although he knew that these visiting artists had no ill intentions, Jiang Yuan still felt a little disturbed by the constant knocking on the lounge door.
So when her makeup was basically completed, Jiang Yuan escaped from her lounge and came to an audience seat specially prepared for guests under the stage to experience the atmosphere of the scene up close.
But because the stadium was relatively small, some sharp fans noticed Jiang Yuan not long after he appeared in the audience, which made everyone a little distracted while watching the performance.
Many fans even raised their phones and aimed at Jiang Yuan to take pictures, completely ignoring the performance on the stage.
The live broadcast of the party would occasionally cut to Jiang Yuan's face, as if to remind everyone that Jiang Yuan would be the finale of the party tonight.
What Liu Shenglun didn't expect was that he cut a few shots for Jiang Yuan, and the effect was still very significant.
Soon, there were more and more messages and discussions related to Jiang Yuan, asking when he would perform.
Before Jiang Yuan even appeared on the stage, he had already become the first hot search of the night.
Jiang Yuan did not feel the feedback from offline and online very clearly. However, after staying in the audience for a while, Jiang Yuan finally returned to the backstage to rest.
The main concern is that sitting in the audience for too long will drain my energy, resulting in the subsequent performance not being 100% full.
After seeing Jiang Yuan leave, the fans at the scene finally focused their attention on the performance again.
Fortunately, watching the performance had already killed some time, making Jiang Yuan's waiting time seem less difficult.
Time passed little by little, and the last day of the year was coming to an end.
Until Jiang Yuan appeared on stage, the overall ratings of the evening party did not change much.
But the ratings will increase as the time gets closer to Jiang Yuan's appearance. Apparently, there are still many viewers who will click into the live broadcast of the party and wait for Jiang Yuan's appearance.
Backstage, Jiang Yuan also let her stylist touch up her makeup so that she could be fully prepared to go on stage.
