Chapter 537 Lady Diplomacy
At nine o'clock the next morning, "We will rock you" was officially released on overseas music platforms!
Lin Fan originally thought that since he was a complete outsider and it was his first time releasing a song here, even if the quality of the song was very good, the download data on the first day would not be very high.
At least I have to wait until I participate in a few ranking events and cooperate with Galaxy’s overseas branches to carry out publicity and promotion activities before the overall data can catch up.
But who would have thought that as soon as this song was released, the download data would surge. Although it was not comparable to the download data in China, it was much better than other songs released at the same time! At the release conference of the single "We will rock you" at the Galaxy Concert Hall.
Yang Hongxia looked out from the backstage and saw that under the stage, in the first row, there was a row of beautiful ladies with elegant postures and outstanding temperaments sitting neatly. Of course, hidden among them was Xia Yan herself.
But that's not the point.
The point is: "The third person from the left is the wife of the chairman of a well-known jewelry company, right? Last time, in order to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, their company even specially launched a jewelry item named after her!
Is the person next to her a famous designer of a certain brand? Also, is the person next to Mrs. Xia the editor-in-chief of one of the top five magazines?"
Lin Fan said: "I don't know, Auntie said those are her little sisters, who came here specially to show their support for me today."
Yang Hongxia looked at Lin Fan speechlessly: "Do you know how high these people's appearance fees are? We may not even be able to invite them to the B list's year-end awards ceremony!"
Lin Fan shook his head honestly. He really didn't know. Besides, they were all called by Xia Yan's mother, for free! Moreover, Xia Yan's mother's sister group also planned to book all the events that Lin Fan attended. Lin Fan didn't dare to tell Yang Hongxia about this, lest it would be too exciting and cause him to lose an excellent agent and partner.
Of course, after much persuasion from Xia Shaozhang, Xia Yan's mother finally gave up the idea of booking the entire theater, which not only made Xia Shaozhang, but also Lin Fan feel relieved.
Otherwise, I always feel like I am not promoting a new song, but performing for my mother-in-law and relatives during the Chinese New Year! And I don’t get any red envelopes!
It’s not worth it! Xiao Wan sighed: “This is what is called madam diplomacy! Xia Yan’s mother is amazing!”
you do not say!
Originally, such new single release conferences were not large in scale, and the attendees were usually the media or fans. In addition, Lin Fan was an outsider, and most of his fans were in China.
Wang Lingli and the others wanted to fly over overnight to support Lin Fan, but were stopped by Lin Fan through Xiao Wan.
Lin Fan was unwilling to do such a thing as bringing people from China to save face. As many overseas fans as wanted to come, they could come. There was really no need to fly from China! Lin Fan was even prepared for half of the seats at the press conference to be unfilled.
But Xia Yan's mother gave Lin Fan a surprise first, and directly brought over her group of little sisters. There were not many of them, but their quality was so high that as soon as they showed up, the media went crazy!
Quick, quick, take photos, interviews and group photos!
This is big news! At the same time, after the news spread, more media were on their way to the press conference. Of course, the press conference had already begun, and it was impossible to let other media in halfway through, which would affect the entire process and would also be a bit distracting.
Therefore, the media that arrived later could only wait outside the venue and wait until the press conference was over to see if they had a chance to grab this big news. However, it is an indisputable fact that the popularity of Lin Fan's new song press conference has been rising rapidly.
The second surprise came from overseas students.
International students and Chinese people who work and live here snapped up all the spots for the press conference!
There are quite a few Chinese artists who release English songs here, but only a handful of them have received such treatment, and Lin Fan is one of them.
The first wave of downloads of "We will rock you" after its release was also contributed by this group of people. Unlike other artists, this group of people did not just come to help support the show for the sake of their compatriots, they really liked the song and were real fans.
With this group of fans around, the effect of the press conference can be imagined.
In addition, with the presence of the sister group brought by Xia Yan's mother, the media and music critics invited by Xinghe also received generous travel expenses, so of course they were more respectful.
So, as soon as the press conference was over, Xinghe immediately posted the press release, group photos and other promotional materials on the Internet. There were also people specifically responsible for the promotion on social platforms. Apart from anything else, the clickbait titles were so catchy that people would want to click on them after seeing them.
But when I clicked on it, I found out: [The richest man’s mother is a high-ranking official: Hey! This song was sung by a Chinese! I thought it was Jia Shili’s new song! ]
[The green hat is pretty, why don't Chinese people like to wear it: The above commenter is too slow, this song was very popular on social platforms half a month ago, but because there is no overseas copyright, everyone can only release their own small cover videos, without the official audio source. But the people who recommended it said that this is a Chinese song. ]
[The United States will eventually be occupied by haters: I know, I know! This Chinese person is very popular in their country! Just like XXX here! ]
There are also those with a more distorted focus: [If there is no freedom, then march: Wow! Isn’t this Mrs. XX? Isn’t this designer XX? Isn’t this the editor-in-chief of Ellie’s fashion magazine? Oh my god, they are all my idols! They are my life goals!]
[There are just too many foreigners: However, your idols are fans of a singer from China...]
[The above is not from our country: Impossible! This must be hype! This must be fake! ]
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In short, there are all kinds of sounds.
In this regard, Xia Shaozhang was worried that Lin Fan had always been in a domestic environment and had received too much praise, so he could not accept such controversy for a while, and he specially reminded him: "Your base is in China, and this is your first step towards the international market. Naturally, there will be different voices from all sides, which is normal. Foreigners' aesthetics and thinking patterns are quite different from ours.
Besides, the achievements you have made in China now are also the result of slowly laying the foundation with one work after another, coupled with a lot of publicity and public relations, as well as the control of fans’ comments, to achieve the final effect. "
Lin Fan understood: "I know, this is all normal. When I first released a song, it was also accompanied by all kinds of voices. This time it is still overseas, without a large number of fans to maintain and promote it, all kinds of reactions are likely to appear.
I won’t get lost in the admiration of my fans. If I don’t even have the courage to face these voices, how can I talk about going abroad and entering the international arena? "
Everything has two sides.
The enthusiasm and admiration of fans are a recognition of the artist, and also a reflection of the artist's status and commercial value in the entertainment industry. But at the same time, these things can also corrupt the artist's mind and will, causing the artist to lose sight of their true self and lose themselves.
But Lin Fan wouldn't.
Lin Fan always knows clearly that his work is the foundation of his life.
Without these classic works, Lin Fan is nothing.
