On June 12th local time, Jiang Yan landed in New York.
Coming with him were two future domestic heavyweights.
One is the future successor of Chinese music, Jay Chou, and the other is Dayao, the future pillar of the men's basketball team.
Jay loves basketball very much. After learning that one of Jiang Yan's trips to Laos was to watch the finals, he expressed his admiration.
Jiang Yan also caught this change in his mood and directly invited Jay to come with him. At the same time, the black men Liu Genghong and others were not left behind either.
Naturally, Jay was very happy about Jiang Yan's invitation, but he still had album promotion to do and was worried that there would be conflicts.
As a result, Mr. Wu almost cursed his mother on the phone. It was Jiang Yan, and he was watching the NBA with him. What publicity can compare to this?
So a few people went directly, but the price was that Jiang Yan had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars more for tickets.
Tickets for the first row of the finals are quite expensive, but it doesn’t matter, it’s just a small amount of money.
For him, money has reached its current level. Calculated in tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands are really just drizzle.
And he actually didn’t have to pay. For the opening concert in the sixth game of the finals, his appearance fee was more than one million, including two first-row tickets, so he spent no money this time, and he could also promote it.
Just release a new song and make a lot of money!
In addition to Jaylen, Dayao also went to Lao America to watch football games with him.
Jiang Yan had chatted with Dayao as early as the start of the NBA playoffs and asked him if he wanted to go together. Of course Dayao agreed.
It's free, why not go?
But this is only one of the reasons. Another bigger reason is that he needs to adapt to the rhythm of the United States in advance.
Because Dayao has already decided to enter the NBA, whether he will enter next year or the year after has not yet been decided, but it is definitely right to find out in advance.
He had come to the United States to participate in a Nike training camp before, and even played with Jordan, but they were all in a hurry, and there was no in-depth understanding.
Now that Da Zhi is here, Yao will adapt to NBA culture faster than before.
Speaking of Dazhi, the situation in Dazhi is not very good recently.
This season, Dazhi has played a total of 30 games in the Lakers' regular season.
For a regular season with a total of 82 games, 30 games is somewhat unqualified.
However, less than half of the reasons are due to injuries.
The NBA regular season schedule is definitely much tighter than the CBA, and the intensity is much higher.
So generally speaking, in addition to performing well in the first few games, there were big ups and downs later on.
His physical fitness was not up to par, and his integration with the team was also a problem. His playing style was also uncertain, which resulted in a somewhat unclear positioning. In addition, he later encountered a rookie wall. To make matters worse, Da Zhi even sprained his ankle for a while.
So this season has not been smooth for Da Zhi.
However, from a data point of view, Da Zhi's performance is actually quite remarkable. He averaged 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in the regular season. This data may seem very low, but being ranked in the top 15 among this year's rookies is completely worthy of Da Zhi.
Zhi's draft rankings.
But then again, Da Zhi's team is a wealthy team and a championship-winning team. Such a team can give rookies room to grow in the regular season, but it will not be so relaxed in the playoffs.
Therefore, the current game has reached the fourth game of the finals. Including the previous games, Da Zhi has only played twice, and it was in garbage time.
So he will definitely be depressed, but what can be done? He is a player, and all he can do is train hard to improve his strength.
After landing in New York, because Jiang Yan still had things to do, he told Dayao and others that the tickets had been purchased, and then assigned an assistant to each of the two groups and let them make arrangements on their own.
The assistant will pay for some of the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the two groups of people. Anyway, as long as they don't be pornographic, it won't cost much.
After the separation, Dayao will go directly to Los Angeles. He will move with Dayao in the past few days to deeply experience the NBA atmosphere.
Jaylen and the others will also be free to move around, and Jiang Yan will join them on the court in the sixth game of the finals.
Why is it the sixth game? Because it was the sixth game in the original time and space to decide the championship. Why is Jiang Yan so sure that it is the sixth game? Because even if the Lakers come to this time and space, the two teams in the finals will not change from the original time and space.
.
This is a good thing for Jiang Yan to use his skills as a magic stick, but it is really embarrassing for Da Zhi.
The change in Dazhi's fate actually has no impact on the alliance. Do you think this should be sad?
And if the "spoiler" is Dayao, Jiang Yan will definitely not dare to take a guarantee now.
After the few people separated, Jiang Yan went directly to Warner headquarters. He wanted to personally confirm the performance arrangements for the next few finals. Because it was a new song and it was the first time to sing it, many factors had to be taken into consideration, such as live recording.
, such as cooperative bands, etc. If these factors are not in place, the quality of the songs will be compromised no matter how good they are, let alone songs of poor quality.
The quality of Jiang Yan's new songs is definitely guaranteed. Recently, he has also improved a few singing skills, which is enough to ensure that even if the microphone is broken, he can sing a cappella at a high level on the spot. Therefore, even if there are slight flaws due to factors other than himself,
Not a big problem.
But it would be best if it can be perfect. In short, it is to make it a hit, so it is natural to pay more attention to it.
However, after arriving at Warner headquarters, Warner Henry immediately apologized after seeing him: "I'm sorry, I really tried my best..."
When Jiang Yan saw this, his brows suddenly furrowed. The first thing that came to his mind was not music but movies.
If something goes wrong with the music, he doesn't think much about it, but if something goes wrong with the movie, he might go berserk.
Fortunately, after Henry's explanation, it was not the movie that had a problem, but the music.
Henry explained that it turns out that Warner has been experiencing some shocks recently, and the top management is unstable, which leads to the instability of the employees and artists below.
However, such turmoil is not a problem for a few leading artists.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The top artists are the company's face, which are important assets. No mature company will touch them easily.
But there is something special about Jiang Yan.
Because he is not a contracted singer, but a co-singer.
So some people think that too much is given to Jiang Yan and the company gets too little. If this continues, there will be problems.
This kind of worry actually existed before when Jiang Yan and Warner reached a cooperation, but Warner was stable at that time, and Jiang Yan himself was upbeat, so there has never been any problem, but it is different now.
As soon as the voice came out, someone immediately took advantage of it and said that we should allocate Jiang Yan's resources to our own singers. Jiang Yan is a cooperative, and he will not be able to feed him if he is given too much.
What resources, for now, are naturally the resources for singing songs in the NBA Finals.
Jiang Yan has two performances next, which are the fifth and sixth performances of the finals.
The NBA Finals is a best-of-seven game, and every performance will feature singers or other performing groups.
Jiang Yan has a good relationship with the Lakers, and Jiang Yan also has a good relationship with NBA officials, so he got two performances this time.
But this actually involves gambling.
If the finals ends in four games, then Jiang Yan won't have to perform.
Of course, if a singer finishes his performance and the home team he supports happens to win the championship, then the singer will also receive additional rewards. At the same time, the championship of one of the three major competitions in the United States will actually have a huge bonus for the singer.
of.
In short, in the United States, you can often play with anything, and it is very entertaining anyway.
But this time, someone wanted to take away one of Jiang Yan's performance opportunities.
There are three reasons. The first one has already been mentioned and is the result of the upper-level game.
The second one is that the Lakers are currently leading the Pacers 2-1. Obviously, they cannot win the championship in the fourth game. So which one is more likely, the fifth game, the sixth game, or the seventh game?
The odds on the market and the media's predictions tell everyone that Game 5 is the most likely, because the combination of O'Neal and Kobe is unstoppable.
Kobe was injured due to a malicious step in the second game, but the Lakers still won. In the third game, Kobe was absent, and the Lakers only lost a little bit. In the fourth game, Kobe will come back with full blood, so the answer is almost obvious, the Lakers
There is a high probability that they will win the championship 4-1 in the fifth game.
In this case, Jiang Yan's sixth game would be meaningless, and the singer's profits would be huge.
How much commercial improvement will the champion singer receive?
If it works well, the improvement will be huge. Next, the singer may be able to use this as a stepping stone to perform at the Super Bowl halftime performance. That is a stage at the level of the Old and American Spring Festival Gala, and it is the top resource in the world.
As for the third reason, it is a bit of a personal grudge against Jiang Yan, because the person who robbed him of his resources was the old American singer Christina Aguilera. This person was originally the best new artist at this year's Grammy, so the answer is also very
Obviously, this is a grudge.
"If I remember correctly, Warner, the NBA and the Lakers can now cooperate so closely. I have a lot of credit, right? Is this how Warner treats its heroes?"
After understanding the general situation, Jiang Yan put pressure on Henry. This time he directly used "staring". He didn't want to say any more nonsense.
"Things are more complicated. You told me before that when it comes to music and film and television dramas, if there is a situation where you have to protect one, you have to protect the film and television dramas. That's what I do." Henry said helplessly.
"So what kind of compensation is there in film and television dramas?"
"We are still talking." Henry looked at Jiang Yan and said.
"You mean I will give it after I compromise?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
"Then I compromise, you go and talk."
"...Don't fight for it anymore?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." Jiang Yan withdrew his "gaze" and then smiled.
Henry understood the general idea instantly, so he also said with a smile:
"I hope Lady Luck is still on your side."
After saying that, he turned around and went to fight for resources.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, turned directly to meet Lao Fan.
As for the NBA, he is not worried at all. After all, who in the world knows better than me?
