"You are very popular now than when you met last time."
Speaking of the situation where a large number of fans supported the TV station building, Johnson naturally recalled the last time Jiang Yuan came to record the radio station.
At that time, although Jiang Yuan had already made his mark through the program "Ballad of the World" and had a certain popularity around the world, he was definitely not as good as he is now.
Especially after the release of the previous album, Jiang Yuan's popularity and recognition in Europe and the United States soared.
Johnson is also rarely seen singers like Jiang Yuan who can achieve such success by releasing his first English album.
Especially when Jiang Yuan is still a foreign singer.
In the past, there were some foreign singers who came to the European and American music scene to develop, but Johnson basically had no impression of them.
On the one hand, because like this radio program hosted by Johnson, there are very few foreign singers who can appear on the show for promotion.
Even being able to go to this radio station for promotion is considered a recognition and success.
On the other hand, it is also because these singers rarely make such a big splash like Jiang Yuan.
Even this splash continued until the upcoming second album.
"Many people are still looking forward to you taking this new album to the Glee Music Awards ceremony again." Johnson joked at Jiang Yuan, obviously thinking about Jiang Yuan's previous performance when he won the award.
Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed when he was cueed to this point in person.
It is mainly because it has been a long time since that time passed, and Jiang Yuan’s emotions are no longer in that state, so when I mention it again, I feel that it is a bit subtle.
"Hope." So Jiang Yuan just smiled and didn't respond to anything more.
"Then let's prepare to start recording." Johnson glanced at Time and said to Jiang Yuan.
"Okay." Jiang Yuan glanced at the camera that was started and sat a little more straight.
Jiang Yuan did not read the script in advance what exactly needs to be done in this radio program.
Or the program has not been given to the team's book at all.
Jiang Yuan also experienced this point once when she participated in the recording last time.
There is only one basic program framework for the entire radio program. What Johnson needs to do is to add bricks and tiles to this framework and enrich and expand the entire program.
“Welcome to….”
Johnson took the lead in looking at the camera and began to host the opening remarks of the show.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Jiang Yuan felt that after the recording began, Johnson’s entire emotions and state became much higher.
"This episode of our radio program is a guest on singers, actors, creators, and well-known writers..."
When introducing Jiang Yuan, Johnson also reported a lot of titles, which made Jiang Yuan's smile on his face froze for a moment, but he still didn't adapt very much to this kind of introduction method that seemed to be a lot of people appearing.
"......He is Jiang Yuan!"
After a series of titles and additional descriptions were ignored by Jiang Yuan, Johnson finally reported Jiang Yuan's name.
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Say hello to the audience on the radio."
Hearing Johnson's words, Jiang Yuan's eyes also focused on the camera, "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yuan. This time I came to the Sound of Music Radio to promote my latest English album."
I briefly introduced myself and explained the reason why I came to participate in the radio recording myself.
"Jiang Yuan is actually our old friend. The last time he released the album, he came to our radio station to promote it, right?" Johnson asked Jiang Yuan with a smile, obviously using the opportunity of interaction to help Jiang Yuan carry out some promotion.
"Sure enough, after the last time I came to promote it, the album was a great success, right?" After seeing Jiang Yuan nodding, Johnson asked with a smile again.
"Yes, thanks to the radio program, the last album received a lot of love, so I'm here again when I released the album." Jiang Yuan also responded to a joke with a smile.
"A very wise choice." Johnson nodded affirmatively and expressed his approval.
"So this time I came to our radio station, are there any special surprises for everyone?" Johnson asked.
"Some." Jiang Yuan nodded, "Today, it was actually specially prepared for the first publication of a new song for our radio audience."
Regarding this point, Jiang Yuan also told Johnson in advance that the current cooperation is to lead to this interaction.
"So will the first publication of this song be on our radio?" Johnson continued.
"Yes, it's the first time singing." Jiang Yuan nodded affirmatively.
"The audience today is lucky and will hear Jiang Yuan's new song as soon as possible." Johnson smiled and looked at the camera, then asked, "Are you going to prepare for the performance for everyone now?"
"No, I'm going to sing for you again at the end of today's recording." Jiang Yuan shook her head.
"Everyone heard it. If you want to hear the new songs sung by Jiang Yuan as soon as possible, remember to keep seeing today's radio program at the end."
This arrangement is actually to ensure that the radio program can maintain a relatively high viewership rate when it is broadcast.
"So, do you have anything to share with the audience about this new album?" Johnson looked at Jiang Yuan and asked.
It was also specially arranged for Jiang Yuan to promote his album for a short period of time, which is also very common on radio programs.
"Actually, before the recording started today, I also searched the Internet and found that some songs of your second English album should have been released on the Internet, right?" Johnson cueed in one direction.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Yuan nodded after hearing this, "Yes, as of today there are a total of...."
As he said that, Jiang Yuan also reviewed the songs that had been released on the second album with his fingers, which was also taken this opportunity to take stock of the promotion on the show.
"I didn't notice it when you didn't count it. It seems that I have heard every song here, and it seems to have been on the rankings, right?" Johnson asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes, the grades are pretty good." Jiang Yuan said and smiled.
"So what reason has so many popular singles been released in a scattered manner?" Johnson's tone was a bit exploring.
"Actually, I cue this album myself at the Glee Music Awards ceremony."
"According to the previous statement, I was actually going to be released last year, but due to the various aspects of the itinerary, the entire production and distribution cycle has become longer."
"So in order to let fans hear the new song earlier, I made an agreement to release a new single every month, and it has continued until now."
Jiang Yuan did not hide it and simply shared the real reason.
"So that's the case." Johnson said with a clear tone, and then said, "The results should be very good now, and everyone loves these tracks."
"I especially like the new song you performed at the festival recently, "Can't help falling in love"..."
Johnson said, and started singing directly in front of Jiang Yuan.
I sang a short passage in my cappella, and it was obvious that I had listened to this song very often on weekdays.
Jiang Yuan was not too surprised that this song was loved by many foreign listeners, as it was a very classic song.
And when I look at Johnson's age, I really seem to like this style of music.
"There is also the MV of this song. I heard that it was also directed by you personally. Before the recording, I realized that there were some scenes taken from Los Angeles."
After the a cappella and receiving the applause from Jiang Yuan, Johnson obviously became much more interested in topics related to this song.
"Yes, it was filmed in my spare time when I came to participate in the music festival." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"When the program is recorded, can you take me to the shooting place to take a look?"
"I also like the style of this MV, and the heroine in it looks like she matches you very much." Johnson recalled the MV clip and said.
"Of course, I can also review my previous filming experience."
"For the actresses in the MV, we actually filmed a love movie together before. If you are interested, you can also watch it." Jiang Yuan also took this opportunity to recommend the movie.
Johnson was indeed interested, asked about the name of the movie and recorded it, and then did not continue to dig deeper on this topic.
It also made Jiang Yuan feel a little relieved, feeling that if it were Molly who had an exclusive interview when filming a magazine, she might have asked about their relationship history just now.
Fortunately, Johnson probably did not do further information searches.
"I've watched your recent interview. You're about to shoot a science fiction movie, right?" Johnson continued to extend the topic with the movie recommended by Jiang Yuan.
"Yes, I think it would be a very good idea if the shooting could be achieved." Jiang Yuan naturally would not let it go if there was a chance to promote it.
"So have you ever considered letting your movies go to the world together like music? You know, you're in Los Angeles now," Johnson said with a smile.
"Actually, this is what I'm doing now, and I want to let everyone see these works more."
"Of course, this is indeed Los Angeles. I can get what you mean, such as foreign cooperation. With the help of Paul, there were also cooperations that were negotiated, but they are still in the preparation stage."
Jiang Yuan could hear that what Johnson wanted to say was actually why he didn't try to star in some foreign movies.
Maybe you may not be able to play an important role.
But with Jiang Yuan's current status, it is easier to negotiate if he wants to make a guest appearance in some blockbusters.
If you plan to break into the foreign market as an actor, it will indeed be a good casting.
However, Jiang Yuan did not want to take this route. If she wanted to shoot, she would do it herself.
"Oh? What kind of cooperation? Can it be made public?" Johnson asked curiously.
"This has to be kept secret for the time being. I have revealed too much work that has not been completed recently." Jiang Yuan waved her hand with a smile, rejecting further spoilers.
"Okay." Johnson could understand Jiang Yuan's answer.
——
The first half hour of the radio recording was basically spent in casual chats like Jiang Yuan and Johnson.
Although it was not long, Jiang Yuan felt that she had spent a lot of time and did all the various publicity expected before the recording began.
"It's time to interact with our radio audience soon. Is there anything else to promote your new album before?" Johnson previewed the follow-up arrangements and handed Jiang Yuan a message.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded decisively, "Yes, the physical album of my second personal English album has begun."
"And it will start pre-sales in advance in two days. I hope everyone will support it."
Jiang Yuan was not polite at all. He reported the album's pre-order channel, Kukudi, and made a very good advertisement.
"Okay, I remember, I will buy it." Johnson nodded, saying that he would support one too.
"This time the physical album is divided into multiple versions. Before the pre-order is officially launched, we will also release the album's playlist and the configuration details of the physical album." Jiang Yuan thanked Johnson and then outputted.
The radio program is recorded today and will be broadcast the next day. I can still promote it before the album pre-order is launched.
"Okay, let's enter the stage of the audience's message interaction next."
After Jiang Yuan finished introducing the article, Johnson patted his palm and entered the next process.
"From the trailer of the previous episode, many viewers knew that you were going to participate in this recording, so before the recording began, we also received a lot of comments from the audience."
"I'll read it now."
As he said that, Johnson also found some of the messages he collected and shared them with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan could hear that most of the messages were written by fans.
There were many words of wishes and some questions raised by fans. Jiang Yuan responded one by one and responded well.
After the end of the reading of the audience's message, Johnson also took a step further and prepared to let Jiang Yuan interact with some lucky audiences on the show.
Such communication is different from replying to some messages, and is considered a more direct conversation.
"These are also selected from the lucky audience who left the message. You can call." Johnson said as he handed Jiang Yuan a sticky note.
After the connection part ended, the recording of the radio station was almost over, and it was also the moment when Jiang Yuan promoted the first song for the new album.
