Chapter 933: Cost-Effectiveness Expertise

The vlog shot that day was released on Yuan Universe, which was a great surprise for fans.

Even fans who left messages asking Jiang Yuan to vlog for several days did not expect that the vlog they had agreed to the day before would be posted immediately the next day.

Moreover, the title of the vlog was chosen as the day when the album was made, which is related to the album information. On the day when the recording was announced, it also attracted much attention from fans.

The vlog lasted a few minutes, and Yang Miaomiao also clicked on the video before going to bed.

Although because her father is Jiang Yuan's editor, Yang Miaomiao's star-chasing life has undergone tremendous changes in the past year. For example, during the Spring Festival, she and Jiang Yuan also exchanged Happy New Year.

But for Jiang Yuan, his idol filter did not break because of the closer relationship, but his love for him deepened.

Seeing that my father and Jiang Yuan are so familiar with each other, they have even reached the point where they can be considered family members.

After all, Jiang Yuan's name is mentioned frequently at home every day.

Now I am watching Jiang Yuan’s latest vlog, which is also from the perspective of Jiang Yuan’s selfie, and I can learn more about Jiang Yuan’s daily life.

The latest news about Jiang Yuan that I can hear from Yang Chao is that there is no more news except that he is not planning to release a new song for the time being.

While Yang Miaomiao was thinking about it, the vlog also started playing.

The opening of the screen started directly in the dressing room of Jiang Yuan's home. Jiang Yuan wore pajamas and stood in front of the mirror to take a selfie and introduce the vlog.

"Because you have seen a lot of messages in recent days that people want to watch the vlog, so I will take a video for you today."

"Today's work is to finish the recording of the second English album. Let's start the day together."

Jiang Yuan introduced the details of the vlog as the opening remarks, and then as soon as the camera went dark, the scene successfully transitioned to the nanny's car.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had also changed his clothes.

It was already the spring season, and even when there was no filming to attend, Jiang Yuan also wore more comfortable private clothes.

A simple hooded sweatshirt and jeans are very convenient for movement and make Jiang Yuan look like a young man.

"I'm on my way to the company now. The weather outside is nice. I'm going to buy some coffee for everyone when I get there."

Jiang Yuan took a cell phone and took a picture outside the window. The sun was indeed bright that day.

After another scene transition, Yang Miaomiao also followed Jiang Yuan's perspective and came to the coffee shop opposite the Xingyuan Entertainment Building.

This scene is very familiar to Yang Miaomiao, or many Jiang Yuan fans who have been to Magic City.

Because they knew that Jiang Yuan would frequent the store, fans would check in at this store from time to time, allowing the coffee shop to reap a lot of dividends from the fan economy.

And basically all the music played in the store is Jiang Yuan’s music.

After Jiang Yuan placed the order, he also commented on the music played in the store, "New songs will be played after a while."

After buying coffee, Jiang Yuan took the lead in going to his practice room to start his daily practice.

After practicing his vocals in the practice room and completing his daily practice, Jiang Yuan went to the recording studio and explained to his fans that this was an exercise he did almost every day.

After arriving in the recording room, Jiang Yuan basically did not interact with the camera, and just let Deng Ge film a scene of himself recording in the studio with headphones.

Only Deng Ge commented with admiration on Jiang Yuan’s singing of this song.

It feels like it will become a historical rock song. Such a sentence immediately made Yang Miaomiao full of curiosity about the new song Jiang Yuan was recording.

In the vlog, even the scene of Jiang Yuan and Deng Ge taking photos together and posting updates was recorded.

After having dinner with Deng Ge, we returned to the company again. The part about checking the physical album proofing took up most of the vlog, and it was also a part that Yang Miaomiao was very interested in.

When it comes to unpacking the album, there are question mark stickers on the album screen.

So if you want to understand the configuration of the album through this video, most people can only know how many versions of the album there are, and others look more like watching a very new air demo album.

However, this was the first time Yang Miaomiao saw the discussion on the album cost and production in a vlog.

Compared to many artists who don't even know what the design of their physical albums is like, Jiang Yuan, who went directly into the production costs, did have a somewhat rich discussion.

In this process, what Yang Miaomiao could clearly perceive was Jiang Yuan's attitude towards the production of physical albums.

It basically looks like he is preparing gifts for his fans.

Although the production cost was discussed, the final process materials selected and the configuration provided were basically as high as possible.

From the expressions of the production team staff, you can clearly see some painful expressions.

Although we don’t know exactly what the physical album will be like, just watching Jiang Yuan’s discussion has already made fans very eager to buy it.

Yang Miaomiao even wished that she could directly open the pre-order for the new album and upload a new link that night.

This is actually the same as the fact that many anchors will release the details of their bargaining with brands before bringing goods to live broadcast.

After confirming the production of the physical album with Jiang Yuan, it was time for Jiang Yuan to end the day and go home to rest.

It seems like an ordinary vlog to Jiang Yuan, but fans extracted a lot of information from it.

Yang Miaomiao scrolled through the comments on the video and found that while she was watching it, many fans had already watched it and left comments.

Up to now, the Yuan Universe app has relatively complete functions.

After the function is officially completed, fans can see a lot of information about Jiang Yuan on Yuan Universe for the first time.

Including some news, Jiang Yuan will often publish it on Yuan Universe for the first time, and then synchronize it to other platforms.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, as the functions are improved, Jiang Yuan also begins to release content selectively.

For example, the audio sources of songs, official videos, and MVs will still be released on other public platforms first.

After all, Yuan Universe is more like private traffic belonging to Jiang Yuan alone.

Sometimes, the performance of a lot of data still needs to be obtained from other platforms, and everyone is already very accustomed to this.

Therefore, for the content that Jiang Yuan alone publishes on Yuan Universe, everyone will default to sending it directly to fans and not spreading it too much.

[It’s great, the last song is actually rock, I love it!]

[I really want to lend Deng Ge’s ears to me. I also want to listen to the new songs in advance!!]

[The vlog shots are really good, I recommend taking more shots @江元]

[Who knows, the first half of the video really looks like a conversation. I suggest you take more first-person perspective shots in the future.]

[Looking at this discussion about physical albums, I’m really excited!]

[Staff: The cost of production is very expensive...

Jiang Yuan: Give the fans the best!】

[Please go to the link, we are all ready to go!!]

[The vlog stickers are so well blocked that no one can see the album at all.]

——

Yang Miaomiao browsed through it briefly and found that everyone's response to the vlog was very enthusiastic.

As a fan, Yang Miaomiao can basically empathize with every comment and likes them one by one.

After reading the vlog, I gained a lot of positive energy from these messages, spent a relatively good day, and fell asleep with a good mood.

On the other hand, Jiang Yuan also received feedback from fans when he returned home.

As an idol who is very obedient to advice, Jiang Yuan is indeed planning to shoot and record more vlogs in the future.

Although the vlog was only posted on Yuan Universe, as Yuan Universe successfully grew bigger and stronger, there were still many internal entertainment spies lurking.

In the middle of the night when the vlog went online, a marketing account intercepted a video clip discussing the cost of the album and posted it online.

The next day, a topic entry was even linked, with words related to the cost of Jiang Yuan’s new album, attracting some passers-by to click on the entry.

What surprised Jiang Yuan and his team was that after such a topic became a hot search topic, it actually played a certain role in promoting the album.

At least among passers-by and various groups that pay more attention to entertainment, it has received relatively good reviews.

【You can see that they really put a lot of effort into making the album.】

[It would be great if my artists could care so much about their own albums. Being your own boss would be really different.]

[It feels like it has a lot of configurations and is a great value for money.]

[Passers passing by, looking at it, they almost want to buy it.]

[No, are your album sales so transparent? Even the cost is directly stated? 】

[I own a factory. I can only say that the cost price mentioned in the video should be the price that can be reduced for a relatively large order quantity. It is indeed very realistic from this point of view. 】

——

On the way to take photos, Jiang Yuan looked through the discussions under the entry, which was a bit strange.

I never expected that the first word associated with my physical album would be cost-effectiveness.

Especially after analyzing the song list of the second English album that has been released, the public unanimously concluded that this is a great album with great value for money.

"It's a bit surprising. I didn't expect to get such a review. Everyone still needs to buy it as needed."

On the way to the shooting, Jiang Yuan was still filming the vlog, and also shared his feelings and mood in real time.

The unexpected hot search has led to a wave of pre-publicity for the physical sales of the new album, which can be regarded as an unexpected blessing. It may attract some passers-by to buy it.

As usual, he shot a short scene in the nanny's car and saved the video. Jiang Yuan also made a video call to He Jing in the car, mainly to communicate about the casting of "The Wandering Earth".

This is also the most important task before the filming of "The Wandering Earth" begins, although it is basically left to He Jing and the casting team.

But as Jiang Yuan is the core of the entire crew, he naturally synchronizes the film's casting progress with He Jing every day.

"How is the progress?" Jiang Yuan and He Jing asked in unison as soon as the video was connected.

Although the questions are the same, both of them know that the content of the questions is slightly different.

He Jing asked Jiang Yuan about the preparation progress of the complete script of "The Wandering Earth", while Jiang Yuan asked about how the casting work was going.

"It's almost finished. I should wait until the end of this week to finish everything." Jiang Yuan thought about it and gave an approximate time.

"In addition, regarding the script, we plan to release a single volume in the form of a physical book by then."

With that said, Jiang Yuan also shared his thoughts with He Jing.

After all, the movie script has already been written, so there is no need to leave behind the original work. You can also create some new KPIs in the writing area.

"That's good." He Jing breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Yuan explained the progress of the script and the approximate completion time.

"What's going on over there?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously. This was also the most important question in making this video call.

"It's okay." He Jing thought about it for a moment and just gave a vague answer.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's puzzled expression, He Jing also started to explain one by one.

Mainly some important characters in the movie.

When He Jing's latest movie "Detective Chinatown" was released and achieved a total box office of 3 billion, his standards for selecting movie actors have also been raised a lot.

Many roles are targeted at some actors that they like and have relatively high status.

"If we arrange it this way, won't the pay be too expensive?" Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said.

After all, if you are doing serious filming, a large part of the funds will directly become the actors' remuneration.

For example, although Jiang Yuan was not familiar with some of the names He Jing mentioned on the phone, he could probably tell the actor's status by observing Zhang Qing's reaction when he heard some names.

"That's true."

"The main reason is that our movie is a bit too expensive. I'll see if we can reduce the budget more in this regard." He Jing also nodded in agreement.

He Jing has recently experienced how expensive it is to shoot this movie.

Even before the filming officially started here, a lot of money has already been spent.

Listening to Jiang Yuan's suggestions, He Jing also decided to implement the principle of saving money when he can.

"Currently, the casting director and I have made a list of suitable candidates. We have recently communicated one by one and sent out audition invitations."

"But judging from the current replies, there is a problem." He Jing also told Jiang Yuan some of the situations he encountered recently.

"When we invited some well-known actors, although they expressed some wishes, the responses they received were basically that they wanted to read the script in advance before making a decision."

Listening to He Jing's explanation of the situation, Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, "This is quite normal."

"After all, it is a science fiction movie, so everyone will feel a little unsure, especially such a famous actor, who is afraid of being saddled with a historical bad movie."

Jiang Yuan can probably imagine what these actors think, which is more humane.

After discussing it with He Jing, we decided to give out a part of the script first and then check the sincerity.
