The breath of hot summer is still in the air, and August is slipping away quietly.
At the Shanghai Airport, Jiang Yuan waved and greeted the fans who came to pick him up, and then got into the nanny car heading to Xingyuan Entertainment.
During the break between the crew of "The Invisible Guest", Jiang Yuan immediately ran back to the Magic City non-stop to prepare for the recording of the new album.
"After today's recording, I will fly to Sakura early the next morning to attend the premiere road show of "Your Name"." Zhang Qing also sat in the car and reported the schedule to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, expressing his understanding.
"Your Name" has been promoting for the past few months, and it's finally time for its official release.
Although the dubbing roles of Jiang Yuan and Haruka Arimura have brought a lot of attention to the movie, so far, this selling point has been the most popular in the movie's marketing.
Therefore, before word-of-mouth officially fermented, the film schedule given by Sakura theaters was not ideal.
In China, because it was not released simultaneously, except for fans, other passers-by did not pay much attention to the movie.
What we know more about "Your Name" is only the extent to which Jiang Yuan participated in the dubbing.
Although I know that "Your Name" has successfully achieved very dazzling results at home and abroad in its previous life, it is difficult to say whether there will be any variables, so Jiang Yuan will try his best to participate in the promotion that needs to be coordinated.
After the vehicle left the airport, it quickly arrived at Xingyuan Entertainment.
In the recording room, Deng Ge has been waiting for a long time.
As the producer of Jiang Yuan's works, Deng Ge was not idle at all during Jiang Yuan's filming. For example, Deng Ge was responsible for the recording of accompaniment of various musical instruments, and the later mixing was also integrated by the other party.
.
"Are you going to fly over the cherry blossoms tomorrow morning?" Deng Ge took the coffee brought by Jiang Yuan and asked curiously.
"Yes." Jiang Yuan responded, unable to help but sigh in his tone.
The energy consumed in filming a movie is much more tiring than participating in variety show recordings.
During the filming period, you have to be highly concentrated. When you are not playing your part, you are always immersed in the story, thinking about your role, and thinking about how to act in the next scene.
It wasn't until he finished filming a stage of the scene that Jiang Yuan took a break.
But what follows is a journey with no end in sight.
"You need to take a rest before you start recording..." Deng Ge adjusted the equipment and asked back.
He stopped abruptly after asking half a question. After a while, Jiang Yuan had collapsed on the sofa.
"I'll be recording in the company for the next day, so let's take a break first." Jiang Yuan waved his hand lazily.
The other hand had already taken out the phone and started scrolling.
"Okay." Deng Ge didn't have any objections. After all, Jiang Yuan's recording efficiency was really high and he wasn't in a hurry.
Scanning his phone, Jiang Yuan also saw his name on the hot search terms.
Today happens to be the time when the main film of "World Song" is aired, and Jiang Yuan's accounts on various platforms also forwarded the two cooperation stages of this issue one after another to promote it.
In addition, there is also a release poster for "Your Name".
The feature film aired in this issue, "No Big Deal" sung by Jiang Yuan and Haruka Arimura, was released the day before "Your Name" was released, which can be regarded as heating up the movie.
Whether at home or at Sakura, the collaboration stage has gained a lot of popularity.
I have to mention here that Jiang Yuan's previously released Japanese album "Log" still occupies a place in Sakura's rankings in both music and physical sales.
When the first stage of "No Big Deal" was released, it naturally succeeded in attracting many fans and became a hot search topic in the Sakura Entertainment section.
【The live version sounds better!】
【Ah ah ah ah, come to Sakura tomorrow, you can hear Yuan-kun’s voice in the theater! 】
[The two-person duet version is also super nice, and the original soundtrack sounds so good that it’s hard not to look forward to the movie.]
[Why don’t movie theaters arrange more movies? The theaters near my home can no longer buy good seats.]
[Please hold the concert in Sakura, "Log" is my album of the year!]
[The cycle has been repeated, and it has fallen. Everyone should support the movie more, tomorrow...]
The comments under Sakura-related posts are basically fan promotions.
Through these comments, Jiang Yuan also paid a little attention to the good news about the movie.
Although the film's schedule was not very generous, the fans were still very enthusiastic, and the attendance rate on the first day of the film was still very good.
Judging from this trend, there will still be a lot of opportunities once word-of-mouth grows.
However, the stage of "No Big Deal" is still more popular in Sakura. In China, more popularity is still given to the duet between Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er.
This time the two also collaborated on an unreleased new single from the collaborative album.
Different from "Under the Sea", this new single is Shang Yan'er's solo song in the album, and Jiang Yuan only joined the chorus during the "World Song" road show.
The single was also officially released on the same day as the main film of the program was aired. It had been previewed for several days before, and several teaser posters were released one after another.
Shang Yan'er even shot a MV specifically for this, obviously to promote it as the first hit of the album.
The name of the single is - "Red High Heels"
Although the song was somewhat controversial in its previous life, it has to be said that the song is really popular.
Jiang Yuan released this single very early on, but it was a bit abrupt because he suddenly came out to release "Red High Heels", so it was kept in the music library until he and Shang Yan'er made the album.
It was dug out at that time.
The cool thing about the system is that the song gift package also includes the controversial original song "Take it from me"
Jiang Yuan also packaged it up and gave it to Shang Yaner for inclusion in the English version.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I haven't heard this new song yet."
While Jiang Yuan was thinking about browsing the hot searches, Deng Ge curiously clicked on the exclusive version of Jiang Yuan's performance.
Since Jiang Yuan sent this song directly to Shang Yan'er at that time, it is considered a rare track that was not produced by Deng Ge.
Deng Ge connected to the Bluetooth speaker in the recording room, and when he pressed the play button, the intro of the song started playing.
The prelude of guitar and string music sounded, and Deng Ge nodded subconsciously.
Then he looked at the performance and couldn't help but blurt out, "So beautiful!"
The final feature film of the program also directly introduced the concept short film shot by Jiang Yuan into the feature film.
Especially the panoramic picture introduced in the prelude, Deng Ge couldn't help but be attracted to it.
He even temporarily put the new song aside and began to ask Jiang Yuan about the scenes in the performance, preparing to include it in his travel plan.
"How can I best describe you and what can I compare to you to be considered special?
I feel strongly about you,
But I don’t know much about it, so I just rely on intuition..."
At the beginning of the singing, the arrangement directly adopted the mode of male and female duet singing.
The duet between Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er immediately caught Deng Ge's ear. He temporarily put aside discussing travel topics with Jiang Yuan and listened attentively.
"You are as comfortable as nestling in a quilt, but you are like the wind that cannot be grasped.
Like the scent of perfume on your wrist, like the red high heels that you can’t put down.”
The singing section ended quickly, and Deng Ge nodded again.
The arrangement of "Red High Heels" is different from that of quite a few songs. It starts with the chorus right from the beginning of the song.
The next two sections only have slight changes in melody, but overall they are pretty much the same, thus forming a song that lasts more than three minutes.
So it is essentially a very brainwashing song that is easy to get addicted to.
In the road show version on "World Songs", Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er sang half of the Chinese version together, and after a slight pause, they sang half of "Take It From Me" in a different key.
Although the two songs are very different in arrangement and overall direction, there are still slight changes in the music.
But the theme of the song is not much different from the content of the lyrics.
“What can I pare you to,A favorite pair of shoes.....
(How should I describe you, compare it to my favorite pair of shoes...)"
After listening quietly to the stereo for a while, as Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner looked at each other and sang "We've get a good life" together, the performance of "Red High Heels + Take it from Me" came to an end.
"The melody is catchy and easy to remember, and I think it will be popular." After listening to it, Deng Ge commented.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The sound source of "Red High Heels" was released simultaneously with the feature film of "World Song".
Thanks to the previous publicity and the bonus of the hit song effect, it has already started to dominate the charts not long after its release.
Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner's duet stage also attracted many CP fans who were addicted to CP.
【Who knew, I could drown in the eyes of the two of them!】
【Xianle!】
【The roadshow picture is so beautiful!】
[Both versions sound great!]
[I really want to make a formal chorus version of the sound source.]
[I’m already on top, and I’m even more looking forward to the full program.]
——
Jiang Yuan briefly browsed through the comments, then turned off his phone.
At the same time, I started to lose my mind and think about another thing.
Now that "Red High Heels" sung by Shang Yan'er is already becoming a big hit, Jiang Yuan has also begun to think about what kind of song to give to Wang Xicun.
After all, if I were Wang Xicun, I would also want a song that is not inferior to this.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Yuan couldn't come up with an answer yet. After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan stood up and said hello to Deng Ge, "Let's start recording."
"Okay!" Deng Ge also jumped up from the sofa and started the operation with great enthusiasm.
Recording begins.
I haven't recorded for a long time, and the time it takes to record new songs is much longer than before.
It was already nightfall before Jiang Yuan walked out of the recording room.
After returning home and simply tidying up and resting, Jiang Yuan didn't stay in Magic City much longer. He showed up at the airport again the next morning and boarded a flight to Sakura.
At Tokyo Airport, before Jiang Yuan's flight arrived, many fans had already put up banners and were waiting to pick Jiang Yuan up.
I haven’t been here for a long time, but the scale of the pick-up was much bigger than the last time Jiang Yuan came.
Jiang Yuan's flight arrived on time, she straightened her hair a little, and Jiang Yuan followed Zhang Qing and her group out of the airport.
As soon as I walked out, I saw my Sakura fan group. I was pleasantly surprised at first because of the number of people present.
But then he saw various styles of support banners in the hands of fans, and after carefully reading the words on them, the corner of Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched subconsciously.
Such a familiar painting style!
The last time there was a middle-level title, no one was left behind. Even because Jiang Yuan appeared in a movie for the first time as a voice actor, a new cheering slogan was specially added, and it was placed in the most conspicuous position.
[Welcome to the rising star in the voice acting industry...(a long list of secondary modifications) His Highness Jiang Yuan!]
Jiang Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly approached the fan group, and silently rolled up the banner under the excited eyes of the fan group.
But in the eyes of the little cherry blossoms, this was a sign that the support had been recognized by Jiang Yuan, and they then sent a bouquet to Jiang Yuan.
Ignoring the exaggerated support, the whole relationship is still very warm.
Jiang Yuan listened to the cordial greetings from fans and congratulations on the movie, and received some letters.
After cooperating as much as possible to take photos and sign autographs, we got into the vehicle and left the airport.
"Are we going directly to the cinema now?" Jiang Yuan asked after stuffing the banner into his backpack.
"Go to the nearby beauty salon first. The first scene of the movie will be officially released in about an hour."
"There are about three hours of preparation time for the first road show we are going to participate in." Zhang Qing looked at the time and reported.
Jiang Yuan has to run a lot of road shows with Haruka Arimura today, and the time is quite tight.
Jiang Yuan nodded and checked his phone for a while in the car.
The pick-up event for Sakura fans just now has been quickly shared with Yuan Universe.
Everyone was still laughing happily at the work done by Sakura fans.
But besides being happy, there is also a lot of envy.
The road show of "Your Name" in Sakura is a publicly ticketed event.
Fans who participated in the airport pick-up basically got tickets for the road show and were able to meet again today.
The news of Jiang Yuan's arrival at Sakura quickly appeared on Sakura's website, attracting a lot of attention and serving as another small promotion for the movie.
The vehicle quickly arrived at the beauty salon, and the accompanying styling team borrowed a venue to quickly help Jiang Yuan complete her styling.
In line with the fresh style of the movie, Jiang Yuan's overall look is also full of youthfulness.
The clothes are also directly related to the movie.
After Jiang Yuan finished styling, Arimura Haruka also joined them.
Also arriving at the same time were the director and some more important creative staff.
When everyone gathered, it was already time for the movie to be officially released.
After everyone thought about it, they finally decided to go to the cinema first to see the effect of "Your Name" being broadcast in the cinema.
At the same time, many audiences came to the premiere of "Your Name" in major theaters.
