Chapter 251 'Joey' and the Madison Garden Opening Show
Chapter 251 "Joey" and the Madison Garden Opening Show
Although Quentin couldn't understand those awkward names of the exercises, he was excited to death.
It’s really a secret skill!
But after being excited, I feel regretful because people don’t teach me.
But after the regret, he was excited again because Jiang Yan was willing to teach him kung fu that ordinary people can use.
This one up and down, it can be said that there is a bright future in another village.
But he also asked: "What is the style of cropping?"
"It's just simple kung fu." Jiang Yan said calmly.
"Um, can't you teach me something more advanced?" Quentin was disappointed again.
"Don't be too ambitious. You can learn to speak later!"
"Okay, I'll learn!"
So Jiang Yan put his hands behind his back and continued to ask with a smile: "I have a sword technique and a stick technique, which one do you want to learn?"
Quentin: "Can I live forever..."
Ahem, "Learn! Learn everything!"
Jiang Yan smiled and said: "I can only learn one, but in order to make your choice easier, I will demonstrate it to you."
Quentin: "Is it the kind of Kung Fu performance?"
"Of course not!" Jiang Yan said disdainfully, "Stop insulting me with that thing!"
"That's good!" Quentin breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan asked again: "Do you have any weapons?"
"have!"
Quentin said as he took out a collection of Chinese cold weapons from his warehouse.
He is indeed a Kung Fu fan.
Jiang Yan didn't waste any time and took an unopened knife and a stick.
Then he asked Quentin to stand still on the front lawn.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was no nonsense. He used the "Twelve Styles of the Golden Sword" as a practical killing sword technique. With his current body, he could cross a distance of three meters with a single pull and dodge, and in one breath, he could kill Quentin.
Six cuts were made.
It was twice as improved as what was drawn on Zhang Jin before.
After the stroke, Jiang Yan put away the knife. Quentin frantically touched his neck, ribs, abdomen, and thighs. He found that nothing was wrong, but cold sweat still poured down.
Too fast, too precise, too strong!
If this is within a few meters, you can't deal with it even with a pistol, right?
Is this just a simple crop?
Want to learn!
So the next second, he directly clasped his fist at Jiang Yan: "Master!"
...
Before Jiang Yan could use a stronger stick technique, Quentin completely became a fan.
To be precise, he chose to think of himself as a guard with a sword.
Jiang Yan said that you should never leave your body with a knife to cultivate your sword sense.
There are some places in the United States where you are not allowed to carry knives, so Quentin got a plastic prop knife of about the same weight.
With some fancy patterns painted on it, it can pass through various security checks as a work of art.
Why did he have to go through the security check? Because Quentin decided to be inseparable from Jiang Yan during his upcoming promotional trip.
Li Xiuxiu felt that Quentin was somewhat sick.
She didn't know anything about sword skills, but she asked herself, if she were a boy and saw Jiang Yan could do such handsome kung fu, she would probably fall for it, but she would definitely not be as stupid as him.
Li Xiuxiu doesn't know how to use swords, but the four bodyguards who are with her do.
They also compared it themselves.
Finally, a conclusion is drawn.
Within five steps, the boss's sword is faster, and beyond five steps, the gun is faster.
But they didn't know whether the boss knew how to use a gun.
The two days of rest passed quickly, and Jiang Yan and his party boarded a plane to New York.
Next, Jiang Yan will start from New York, run all the way west for promotion, and return to Los Angeles. The trip is expected to be a week and a half. If the situation is good, it will be extended appropriately.
March 27, Saturday morning, Warner Headquarters in New York.
Jiang Yan entered the building with Quentin Li Xiuxiu and Warner Zhou Jianhui.
Warner's Henry and several music department executives were already waiting here.
"Hi Joey, welcome to New York."
Henry came up enthusiastically and gave Jiang Yan a big hug.
Joey is Jiang Yan’s English name and also the album name.
"Joey" and "Jiang Yan" have similar homophonic sounds, so Jiang Yan directly used this one.
"Henry, you look good." Jiang Yan responded with a smile.
"Of course, because today is a good day, come on, come in and talk."
Henry greeted, and then he noticed that there was a tall man holding a gaudy Quentin.
"Oh, sorry, are you...Quentin?" Henry asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Mr. Henry, we have met." Quentin took off his sunglasses and greeted with a smile.
Henry smiled directly: "Welcome, I didn't expect you to come."
Quentin is a potential new director in Hollywood, and Henry is an entertainment veteran, so naturally they know each other.
But when Henry learned that Quentin was now Jiang Yan's apprentice, Henry couldn't hold back the questions in his mind.
Apprentice? What to teach, music?
Quentin studies music?!
Henry almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
After entering the building, Henry got down to business:
""Joey" has been put on the shelves in video stores everywhere today. Our itinerary is..."
"Joey", this is the name of the album, using Jiang Yan's English name.
Jiang Yan originally wanted to continue using the DNA series, but Warner's opinion was that people should be the first priority, and the singer himself is the most valuable point.
Jiang Yan is from China, so it is best to use a personal name for his first album.
Jiang Yan naturally understands this truth. The first album of Milk Tea Week was "Jay", and the first album of Stefanie Sun's debut was "Stefanie". There are many similar cases.
Moreover, Jiang Yan only has three songs this time and cannot dominate the charts. He cannot create a storm like in China, so it is right to listen to Warner's professional opinion.
The release of the "Joey" album is global. It will be released in the United States today, and in Europe three days later, mainly in English-speaking areas such as Great Britain.
It will be released in Asia in four days together with Jiang Yan's Chinese album "DNA2".
By then, the two albums in English and Chinese will add up to a rhythm that will sweep the world.
Henry and Zhou Jianhui had enough confidence in this.
What follows is the focus of publicity.
The first is the radio station. Each major radio station must run at least five stations in more than a week.
Henry predicted that based on the quality of the songs, if they are released today and Jiang Yan makes an appearance on a New York radio station in the evening, all three songs will be on the on-demand charts at noon tomorrow.
The on-demand chart and the Billboard Hot 100 are not the same.
To put it simply, the on-demand list means local "fire".
The Hot 100 Singles Chart means "fire" in the United States plus "high quality". That is the true meaning of fire.
And if Jiang Yan's song can be locked in the top ten on the New York radio on-demand chart, then at least the top eighty on the Billboard will be stable.
In addition to radio promotions, Warner also arranged many special promotional activities.
Concerts, opening shows, TV interviews, etc.
Concerts and TV interviews Jiang Yan knows what the opening show is.
Henry replied: "You know, the United States is a big sports country. Football, baseball, and basketball all have high ratings."
Henry explained that for the three major sports in the United States, if you sing and perform as a guest performer once, the effect can be equivalent to visiting radio stations in several states.
Of course, this refers to the teams with the highest exposure.
And this is what the Warner team customized for the only rock song among Jiang Yan’s three songs.
"hall for fame", hall of fame.
It fits well with sports.
The other two songs are more lyrical and not suitable for sports situations, so they will focus on radio.
Jiang Yan nodded after hearing this. He had to say that professionals are different.
Henry then added: "Let's go on the New York radio station tonight to get used to it, and then go to Madison Garden Stadium to open the show tomorrow night."
"The most exposed team in the NBA, the New York Knicks, will face the powerful Los Angeles Lakers at home tomorrow night."
"This is known as a preview of the finals. The seats will be absolutely packed tomorrow. Jiang, are you confident?"
Madison Garden Stadium is full, which means it can seat nearly 20,000 people, and it is live broadcast.
In addition, the location is all around, which puts a lot of pressure on the performing singers.
Jiang Yan had not performed many live performances, and Henry knew this, but the matter had already been decided, so he had no choice but to give Jiang Yan a warning.
However, after Jiang Yan heard this, he asked: "Is Warner Road so wild? Can it handle this kind of game?"
Henry smiled proudly and said: "Of course, we are Hollywood giants. Even if you want to meet the team's star alone, you can do it."
When Jiang Yan heard this, he raised his brows and said, "Is it true or false?"
Henry spread his hands and said: "Of course it's true, tell me, who do you want to see?"
