The brown business car left the New York airport and was speeding on the road.
The day before the performance in Times Square started, Jiang Yuan took a flight to this city to prepare for the formal rehearsal of the performance the next day.
However, in the vehicle at this time, after a long flight, Jiang Yuan was not resting, but was holding a stack of postcards and signing his name on them.
It is a signature specially prepared for the lucky fans who pre-ordered the new album.
The final signature item was a postcard made of a special material with a suede texture, which ensured that the signature would not be easily spent and would also have a good touch texture.
"So far, counting orders from different countries, plus the total sales of different versions, the total pre-order sales of physical albums have officially exceeded two million."
While Jiang Yuan was signing autographs, Zhang Qing reported the pre-order results of the new album in a bright voice.
With the super luxurious configuration and cooperation, fans were already in a state of overwhelming buying during the pre-order period.
When the pre-order was about to end, the preview of the physical album finally changed from being covered by question marks to a real photo.
Judging from the released singles and album content, many fans or casual fans also chose to place orders during the pre-order period.
"The sales volume on the first day of official sales in the past should be like this, right?" After Jiang Yuan heard such a brilliant performance report, his mood improved a lot, and he even drew an extra heart on his signature.
.
"It has exceeded the first-day sales of some albums. By the first week of official sales, it will be very easy to top the sales charts in many countries with shipments." Zhang Qing replied with a smile.
I am very satisfied with Jiang Yuan's career that continues to grow.
For example, if a singer who has been debuting for a while releases albums consecutively in a relatively short period of time, it is already a very good performance if the sales of each album can be maintained at the same level.
Jiang Yuan not only maintained stable sales, but also maintained stable progress.
It also shows from the side that not only did Jiang Yuan have no fans running away during this period, but he even had many new fans join the circle to expand his fan base.
For a singer with Jiang Yuan's level of traffic, Zhang Qing's manager felt that there was a lot of room for improvement. Zhang Qing felt that the word "rare and rare" was the perfect word to apply to Jiang Yuan.
"That's good. It would also be great if we could continue this momentum into the New Year." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said.
The new year will begin just a few days after the release of the new album. If the market responds well, it is not impossible to dominate the charts from the end of the year to the New Year's Eve.
"Yes, by the way, after the rehearsal ends in the afternoon, we will record a video explaining the unboxing of the physical album."
"It just so happens that we have a little more time today." Zhang Qing touched her backpack again and said.
Jiang Yuan only received the physical album package before he officially set off from Shanghai, and he didn't even have time to look at it.
As for waiting until the performance in Times Square is over, because the new album is about to be released, there are many various itineraries that need to be attended.
It can be said that there are activities both at home and abroad. It can already be predicted that Jiang Yuan will perform the role of a trapeze artist in the next few days and will have to travel to many cities.
For tasks like this that can be completed in advance, it is indeed better if they can be completed earlier.
"Okay, let's shoot it when we get back to the hotel in the evening." Although I already know what the specific design of the album will be, the final product has just been received.
In order to ensure that the reaction effect of the unpacking video was realistic enough, Jiang Yuan also tolerated it for a while and did not open the package immediately.
The vehicle drove to the hotel where Jiang Yuan was staying, where he placed his luggage. Jiang Yuan had lunch and took a short rest before preparing to head to Times Square for the rehearsal.
Last time because of "World Song", Jiang Yuan was not too unfamiliar with the performance venue.
It's just that compared to the previous time when a large group of people came to prepare for the performance, this time it felt a little deserted to have only one person rehearsing.
But this thought could not stay in Jiang Yuan's mind for long, because when the car was about to stop, Jiang Yuan discovered that the square was not as lively as usual.
Jiang Yuan didn't react at first. After all, it was normal for such a bustling area to be lively.
But after Jiang Yuan got out of the car and showed up, he found that many people seemed to be coming for him.
As the performance approaches, the large-screen advertisements in Times Square rotate more frequently.
Therefore, it is difficult for fans living in the local area not to know the news. By the way, Jiang Yuan came to the scene to watch the rehearsal the day before.
In the end, I did successfully squat down to Jiang Yuan.
After greeting the fans at the scene, Jiang Yuan felt a little more confident when he went on stage for the rehearsal.
"There shouldn't be too many spectators at the venue this time," Jiang Yuan said as he took the elevator.
"Why do you think there will be fewer viewers?" Zhang Qing was a little surprised when she heard this.
"There were so many people at the last performance, wasn't it because all the members of the show team were present, and big names like Paul and Louis were also present..." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Emmmm, I think you've thought a little too much about this."
"The situation at the last live event was largely due to the fact that the performance of "World Song" was promoted relatively late. In fact, it is estimated that many fans did not have time to come over." Zhang Qing smiled and said that Jiang Yuan was really many
Considered.
"And our performance this time was officially announced many days in advance. Coupled with the recent momentum created by the new album, you have to have a clear understanding of your own popularity."
"The sales of real money and silver are all there. The scene will definitely be very lively tomorrow." Zhang Qing gave Jiang Yuan another reassuring look.
"It seems like this." Jiang Yuan adjusted himself after hearing this, and then relaxed.
I maintained a relatively good attitude, so the rehearsal process went smoothly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The estimated duration of this performance is actually similar to that of a music festival, and Jiang Yuan's performance will not be too long.
After all, it will be the length of the concert any longer, which is obviously impossible.
Jiang Yuan will only perform the new album tracks that have been publicly performed so far. At most, he will only add a solo version of "Senorita" and an unreleased track from the new album.
The performance is only about an hour long, and there is no choreography that needs to be coordinated.
During the performance, Jiang Yuan either stood still or improvised, and the repertoire was all songs that he was familiar with recently.
So it didn't take long before Jiang Yuan returned home.
On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Yuan also logged into Yuan Universe for a while. In addition to sharing some rehearsal photos with fans, he also took a look at the chat trends of fans.
I found that it was indeed a bit worrying as Zhang Qing said.
It is not difficult to see from the replies of some fans that many fans from other countries even flew here specially to watch this performance.
Jiang Yuan even accidentally saw some fans carefully preparing for on-site support the next day.
This also gave Jiang Yuan a relatively sufficient sense of security, and he devoted himself to the recording of the physical album unboxing video with a better mood.
Different from the casual and relaxed recording of the last collaborative album "Letter", this time the recording of the split album is obviously more formal.
The lighting and photography of the scene are on the same level as those of Jiang Yuan’s previous albums.
There are several album versions, and Jiang Yuan also shares and introduces all the configurations in the album like a sales anchor.
Because this physical album was frequently discussed in meetings during the production process, Jiang Yuan was very familiar with the material costs and even the craftsmanship of the album.
I didn’t forget to share this part of the content with fans during the introduction.
"How was it? Is the introduction okay?" During the break before recording the ending, Jiang Yuan asked Zhang Qing's opinion and felt that it was much more detailed than before.
"I believed you when you said you were selling the goods. With your introduction, I definitely feel that this album is even more valuable." Zhang Qing gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, took a sip of water, and once again devoted himself to the final recording.
By the way, some pre-order surprises were also revealed to fans in the ending section.
After the recording of the album is completed, the rest of the day is free time.
Because there was a performance the next day, Jiang Yuan did not continue to hang out with the team. He just had dinner at a nearby restaurant and prepared to rest.
The next day during the day, it was basically the same state.
After lunch, Jiang Yuan and his team got into preparations for the performance.
Hair and makeup, and finally arriving at the performance venue in advance to prepare for the performance.
This time the performance was set in the evening as always.
But some time before the performance started, Jiang Yuan heard a report from Zhang Qing, saying that traffic control had begun in the surrounding area and many spectators had already arrived at the scene.
However, Jiang Yuan was still pressed on the chair and fiddling with his hair style, so he was unable to observe the situation at the scene immediately.
But as soon as her hair was done, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but go to the window and take a look at what was going on in the square.
There was still an hour left before the performance started, and it looked like the audience was already in place.
In order to get a good seat to watch the performance, some fans even came to the venue in the morning.
Now that the performance is approaching, the venue is already packed with people.
Looking down from upstairs, Jiang Yuan also immediately noticed the support that fans had mentioned in Yuan Universe before.
A long light sign congratulated Jiang Yuan on the release of his new album. In addition, many light signs and cheering sticks could be seen.
Jiang Yuan observed for a while, and then used his camera to use a telephoto lens to take pictures of the fans' cheers.
Then I shared it on Yuan Universe to interact with fans and conducted some verification.
Not long after the photo was posted, Yuan Universe started to get excited.
[Wow wow wow, brother, I saw the support! Have you finished your makeup and hair? 】
[Ah ah ah, it was actually certified, the fans at the scene were so awesome!]
【Are there so many people at the scene already? It’s so lively! 】
[I really want to be there, but unfortunately I can only watch the live broadcast. I hope I can get tickets for the concert. 】
[The first stop of the concert has been sold out. Can other stops be officially announced? 】
…
As soon as Jiang Yuan appeared, the fans on Yuan Universe became particularly lively and their comments became even more enthusiastic.
Some other questions were also raised.
Because it was an overseas performance, many fans could not attend, and they were more concerned about the news about the concert where they could get tickets.
But because the studio has not yet fully decided on the concert schedule, Jiang Yuan could only reply with a positive reply.
In addition, I also revealed today’s hairstyle to fans on Yuan Universe in advance.
For today's hairstyle, the hairstylist gave Jiang Yuan a look with a dragon's beard on her back. All her hair was curled back, except for two strands of bangs that were separated from her forehead.
At the same time, she also sprayed her hair into a brown color, which is Jiang Yuan’s new hairstyle recently.
This style of sharing spoilers in advance also made many fans feel like they were treated as one of their own, and then there was a series of speeches that were expressed in different ways, but the essence of which was that they all liked it.
As Jiang Yuan interacted with fans on Yuan Universe, time began to pass bit by bit, and soon it was time for the performance to begin.
Jiang Yuan sent two final messages to fans, then started to stand by and adjust the equipment on site to prepare for the performance.
As the performance time approached, the scene became more and more lively.
The excitement was much more lively than the previous "World Song" performance.
After all, it was also a trailer that was played on the big screen in the square for a long time.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan's new album's attention has indeed risen to a new level thanks to a series of promotions.
Even many music critics, such as Aaron, made a special trip to the scene and became part of the large audience.
At the same time, the cooperative platform also prepared the live broadcast of the live performance as soon as possible.
This performance is also sponsored by Jiang Yuan's new endorsement brand.
As the performance time approached, the big screen in the square also entered standby mode and began to play some materials related to Jiang Yuan.
“It’s about to start, it’s about to start!!”
Suddenly there was such a cry from the crowd, and the whole place became noisy.
A countdown animation trailer also began to appear on the big screen.
A one-minute short film, like an athlete appearing on stage, captured the entire process from Jiang Yuan changing clothes to standing on the stage.
When this short video was played, Jiang Yuan was indeed standing on the stage fully armed.
After the short video ends, there is a countdown of the last ten seconds.
Ten, nine, eight...
The numbers flashed on the big screen, and the entire audience started shouting along with the countdown.
"...Three, two, one!!"
The shouts grew louder and louder until the countdown ended.
As soon as it ended, Jiang Yuan's singing sounded at the scene, announcing the official start of the performance!
