Chapter 179 Jiang Yan, yes, I am simple and unpretentious
December 15th.
Jiang Yan and Warner Records held a signing ceremony in Beijing.
This matter has received huge attention in the industry.
As a popular star, Jiang Yan debuted as a singer.
Now that we are cooperating with Warner, we will definitely create an even bigger storm in the future.
What is Jiang Yan's current record as a singer?
The sales volume of a single and an album are the highest ever among mainland singers.
The "DNA" album has been on the market for two months now and has already sold nearly 3 million copies.
This number can be said to be beyond the reach of mainland singers.
Some people feel that the mainland pop music scene has entered a period of rapid development.
However, knowledgeable people know that this sales volume is actually just an example, and it has little to do with the market.
Because the propaganda method used by Jiang Yan cannot be copied by others.
After several rounds of storm building, it was tied to a top Hong Kong movie for marketing.
As a result, the sales curve completely deviated from the market rules and rose against the trend several times.
This kind of gameplay is really impossible for anyone without any strength to learn.
However, many people across industries regard this case as a classic marketing case.
I don't know what can be analyzed from it.
Having said that, if the original album sold three million, the sales of pirated copies would be at least six times more.
The overall sales performance has confirmed Jiang Yan's dominance in the mainland pop music scene.
Many media have identified Jiang Yan as the mainland king.
Mao Ning, Wang Jie’s era has passed!
Regarding this statement, Mao Ning generously expressed congratulations, because he had been here during the premiere in Beijing, and he and Jiang Yan knew each other well, so naturally they would not say anything weird.
Wang Jie disagreed. He said that Jiang Yan was still young and could not bear the title of Heavenly King.
Jiang Yan said that Wang Jie was right. To become king cannot be determined by sales volume alone.
It also needs recognition from the industry, that is, awards.
The difficulty of the award is Wanwan’s Golden Melody Award.
In this era, the Bayan Chinese Golden Melody Awards are still the most valuable in Chinese pop music.
As a pop singer, it is truly deserving of this award.
At next year's Golden Melody Awards, Jiang Yan's biggest rivals will still be Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. However, Maitian's influence is limited. If Wanwan is a little biased, Jiang Yan will leave empty-handed.
This is also the reason why Zhou Jianhui said that Jiang Yan still has one major left to go.
Because Zhou Jianhui's Warner Asia headquarters is in Wanwan. When the next album comes out, based on the quality of this year's album, the chances of winning are huge.
Of course, if the quality of the next volume is too poor, or if another genius emerges by then, that's another story.
Jiang Yan felt relieved upon hearing this.
The man hasn't come out next year yet.
Even if it comes out, the man still needs to develop for another year or two.
...
After the signing ceremony, Jiang Yan accepted interviews from various media.
Most of the questions revolve around the new album and movies.
These are all routine issues, no one is making trouble.
Also, I have met almost all my opponents in the industry.
Yehenala, this person has not paid back what he owed Jiang Yan last time. If he comes out again now, he will be beaten.
There are some unscrupulous reporters, but there is currently no black material on Jiang Yan, and no black material has been forcibly fabricated.
Even if it were available, Jiang Yan would still be willing to use it for military training.
The Hengdian Pizza Hut team is currently being formed, and they are just waiting to be hired.
However, Jiang Yan knows that the biggest reason why he has not been consumed by the mainland media so far is partly because he keeps a low profile, partly because he has a "background", and partly because Jiang Yan is on the rise.
After all, the Mainland's card is, and now that the Chinese music scene is surrounded by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, any well-fed Mainland media who would frantically smear Jiang Yan is the public enemy of the Mainland.
Those who are really smearing are only some Hong Kong and Bayan media.
But the intensity was not too great, and after today, the media in Hong Kong will start to brag about Jiang Yan again.
Because the adaptation rights to "Infernal Affairs" were sold for US$2 million!
The next day, the Xiangjiang media reported the incident extensively.
2 million US dollars for the adaptation rights, which is history-making.
At the same time, this also means that there will definitely be an A-level production in Hollywood in the future.
This is another historic moment for Hong Kong movies to go to Hollywood.
Going to Hollywood, or even becoming famous internationally, is something that has never happened before.
But they are all action movies, such as "The Heroine" and Wu Yuseng's "A Better Tomorrow."
There are also Hong Kong stars who have become famous in Hollywood in their personal capacity, such as Bruce Lee, Fang Silong, Lien Kit and Yunfa.
But they are all based on their status as action stars.
Therefore, this time "Infernal Affairs" has become an international hit with a drama and police film theme, so it has naturally received great attention from the media.
So for a time, "Infernal Affairs" once again surpassed Fang Shilong in terms of reputation since the double murder of Fang Shilong.
You see, "Rush Hour" is awesome and has exploded at the box office, but it's only for you.
But "Infernal Affairs" is awesome, that's from Hong Kong Film!
The meaning is different!
Then the media once again automatically ignored Jiang Yan's identity as a "mainland screenwriter" and started to hype it up.
“Style enough to squirt juice!”
A certain media used photos of the signing ceremony in Beijing, gave them explosive headlines, and printed various photos of Jiang Yan on the back page.
Then this man who sings well, is a great screenwriter, has money, and most importantly, is handsome, has once again won many awards.
But there is something even more exaggerated.
This time I’m not talking about Jiang Yan, but about “scandalous girlfriend” Zhou Zhiruo.
When talking about Zhou Zhiruo in the past, she was just an actress who was lucky enough to pursue Jiang Yan.
This time it was an exaggeration. People who said Zhou Zhiruo was Jiang Yantong's bride-in-law came out.
The article even gave a serious introduction, saying when Zhou Zhiruo started dating, and how the two of them were a perfect match for each other. Finally, the topic changed, saying that a child bride would not affect Jiang Yan's continued search for a girlfriend.
In short, it is just a roundabout way to consume Jiang Yan.
This also made Zhou Zhiruo so angry that he called and cried for more than an hour.
But Jiang Yan was very happy after seeing it. The opportunity to train troops has come!
Jiang Yan: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of pushing a big star into a desperate situation?"
So he directly asked the Hengdian Pizza Hut team to head south.
...
The impact of the signing ceremony on the mainland not only made Jiang Yan's halo more stable, but also brought Jiang Yan a little trouble.
Jiang Yan's "Small Target" company is kept secret from the public, so it is one thing for everyone to know that Jiang Yan is rich, but it is another thing to know how much money he has.
Regarding Jiang Yan's net worth, everyone used to just guess, but now that "Infernal Affairs" has sold for 2 million U.S. dollars, everyone has a clear idea that Jiang Yan is rich.
2 million U.S. dollars, which in this era is 16 million soft girl coins. Add in the box office share of "Infernal Affairs" and album sales, and those who are interested will know that Jiang Yan's current net worth is definitely more than 50 million.
This does not include the money from endorsements and commercial performances, because Jiang Yan has not received a single endorsement or commercial performance.
And once he takes it, it won't take long for his net worth to exceed 100 million.
In this era, a net worth of over 100 million is quite an eye-catching figure.
If not, you might become a target and get hit.
However, the public didn't react much because the Entertainment Pioneer came forward to correct it.
He said that Jiang Yan invested too much during the "Wukong" period and had to deduct more than 10 million, as well as various taxes, and divided the cake among all parties. He wrote it in great detail.
Then to sum up, Jiang Yan's album and movie were all based on his own talent, and as a result, he is worth at most 10 million.
This net worth still seems to be very high, but the Entertainment Pioneer also made a horizontal comparison of the net worth of Wang Jie and a number of other famous celebrities.
This comparison is very obvious. Compared with others who are worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, Jiang Yan looks very shabby.
The article also commented with some annoyance that Jiang Yan's appearance fees are currently among the top in the country and he could have easily earned more. After all, commercial acting endorsements account for more than half of a star's income.
But Jiang Yan refused and refused to accept any of them, instead using his top talents to make small money.
It’s simply too low-key and simple!
Not only that, the article also detailed Jiang Yan’s donations. So far, Jiang Yan has donated a total of more than 5 million!
In other words, rounding off, Jiang Yan basically made no money.
The other celebrities named rarely donate money, which is thought-provoking.
As soon as the article came out, many media outlets followed suit and reprinted it.
So in a short period of time, "simple and unpretentious" became Jiang Yan's new label.
And those celebrities who pull out their backs are labeled as "having no mercy for the sake of wealth".
Then Jiang Yan naturally has more fans.
Who doesn't like stars like this?
As a result, the public's focus has returned to Jiang Yan's movies, songs and other works, and various brands have also raised their prices one after another, hoping to win Jiang Yan's "first time".
Of course, celebrities such as Wang Jie also came out to refute the rumors.
Wang Jie and many celebrities who had used dirty tricks on Jiang Yan expressed their opinions: I don’t have that much money, and I also donated...
In short, everything is going crazy.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly.
You really have to pay a price for messing with me!
