Chapter 361 The first album is launched, how deep is the water
When we returned to the hotel, it was already past one o'clock. Before Lin Peng returned to the room, he asked Hu if he wanted to go to her room for a drink to celebrate the completion of her scene.
Her part of the scene was completed in two days, which shows that after receiving the script, she really thought about the role a lot, and she knew those lines by heart.
Otherwise, the filming would not have gone so smoothly.
This is indeed the case. During the filming, it was basically other people who had minor problems, and Lin Peng himself did not have any major problems.
Otherwise tonight, and last night, they would be shooting faster.
But it was already done, and this woman even extended an invitation. Wu Hu estimated that this woman was coveting his beauty. After all, he thought he could compare with Xu Gong in the north of the city to see which one was more beautiful.
But this woman was introduced by eldest brother Cheng, so it's best not to move around.
What's more, the feeling this woman gave him was not as big as the cake-making girl. The fleshy cake-making girl was the best.
So Wu Hu smiled and shook his head, "No, it's quite late. You should go to bed early. Good night!"
Lin Peng was a little embarrassed after being rejected. He said good night and turned around to enter the house.
Xiao Luo, who was not far behind Wu Hu, walked up, smiled and joked in a low voice, "A beautiful girl invites you! You actually refused. This is a bit unlike you."
Wu Hu walked back to the room and said, "I can't even compare to the maids around me. Who do you think I am? Besides, in this country, is it not easy for me to have a woman?"
"What a stinker!" Ronaldinho muttered in a low voice, and finally realized, "You are such a black-hearted capitalist, you really treat me like a maid. No, I want a raise!"
Wu Hu turned around and pressed her face, pushed her out of the door, and said ruthlessly: "Go back and wash up and sleep! You can dream about anything!"
…
In the following days, Wu Hu lived a fulfilling life. After filming, he occasionally gave advice to three young directors and showed off his "directing talent".
The three young directors have long been accustomed to this. What's more, Wu Hu's "pointing fingers" are not without meaning. Everyone is doing it for this movie to be better!
Warner Records' promotion of his album also reached the Kimchi Country.
At the end of November, Wu Hu accepted Da Gao Niang's invitation and recorded her new single "Audio Hallucination" together. There was a male rap voice in it, Da Gao Niang decided to invite Wu Hu.
The two of them had not contacted each other for a few days since the last time the cake-making lady came back missing.
Wu Hu didn't take the initiative to contact her, and she didn't bother him either. He let Wu Hu recuperate for a few days and was thinking about finding another woman who played his wife in the play to discuss the script. So,
Seeing this woman, Wu Hu remembered that night.
Recording this song was very simple. This woman had practiced this song very well and probably practiced it a lot in the past few days. So it only took them half an hour to complete the recording.
Anyway, he had already asked for a half-day leave from the crew, so Wu Hu simply did not go back. He sent away the grumbling little assistant, and Wu Hu asked the cake maker to take him around the city.
In the nearly half a month since he came to Seoul, Wu Hu rarely went out. He was basically either on the set or in a hotel. He didn't look like a fun-loving young man at all.
However, because of this, the other three major investors are becoming more and more relieved about him. Isn't a young man who is devoted to his work not reliable enough?
So, the kimchi girl took him around Seoul, including art museums, Seoul Tower, Dongdaemun... enjoying the food culture of kimchi country.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock that the two of them carried large and small bags and prepared to go home.
Of course, I went back to the cake maker’s residence.
When he returned to her residence, the cake-beater transformed into a tigress and rushed towards him. Wu Hu transformed into a tiger-beating hero, drew out his stick, and chased him fiercely.
After several battles, the fierce tiger turned into a cute cat and lay in Wu Hu's arms, allowing him to experience the happiness of cat-sucking gangsters. "Oppa, do you want to come here to develop?"
Wu Hu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and shook his head, "I never thought about it! Your country is too small for me.
.I have opened a market in our country, how could I give up such a big market and come to your side to be a despised outsider?"
"You are such a cruel man, you are not even willing to lie to me!"
"Aren't all scumbags like this? You know clearly that I'm not a good man, and you still want me to coax you with sweet words. Do you dare to believe those words?"
The cake maker, who had regained some strength, couldn't help but hit him a few times.
Seeing this, Wu Hu smiled and said: "It seems that your strength has recovered a lot, then let's start the second battle!"
"No, Oppa, let's chat for a while! Otherwise I will die."
"How could it be? There are only exhausted cows!"
"Are you willing to trick me now?"
"..."
...
In early December, Wu Hu's first album was finally released. The sales in the first week in the mainland exceeded 50,000, the sales volume in the Bay Province exceeded 5,000, the entire Asia exceeded 100,000, and the global sales exceeded 200,000.
Wu Hu, who received the news from President Chen, felt a little embarrassed after looking at the data. Compared with those albums with sales of hundreds of thousands, the difference was too big.
Not to mention the new album "Eighteen Martial Arts" released by the King of Mistakes in the Flower Field a few months ago, which has skyrocketing sales.
With sales of over one million in the first month, I’m asking you if you’re afraid.
The only thing that gives Wu Hu some comfort is that since the album was released, the available popularity value on his system panel has been rising like a rocket.
In just one week, his available popularity value increased from more than 60 million to more than 80 million, and he was about to reach 90 million.
He felt that he could activate all his master-level skills at will. Even the skills above the master level, he could find a chance to try them out and see what it felt like.
At this time, he was just like those billionaires, in one word: rich and arrogant!
But Wu Hu's achievements are very good to President Chen of Warner Records. After all, this is a physical album. Nowadays, the sales of physical albums are getting worse.
Moreover, this is only the first week, and although the sales are based on pre-sale sales, as the reputation of this album spreads, the sales of the album will definitely increase.
Although the initial promotion of an album or a movie is very important, it can only be supported by the popularity of the star. In the later stage, it depends on quality.
What's more, this album is selling well in Europe and the United States!
As for the album sales of King of Mistakes, President Chen's answer is that just look at this kind of data. The data promoted by major record companies are all the same as the flood of gold.
For example, they are now announcing that the sales volume of Wu Hu's album will exceed 100,000 in the first week in the mainland, 500,000 in the first week worldwide, and is expected to exceed 1 million in the first month.
So, you can imagine how deep the water is here.
Wu Hu actually understands that by next year, album sales will shrink even more.
Take Milk Tea Lun, for example. This year, his album "Super Era" has sold more than one million copies in Asia. Next year, the sales volume of his new album will be cut in half.
And there is still water in it. You can imagine how much impact online downloads have on physical albums.
Although this is data from another time and space, in comparison, in this time and space, the IT industry of flower growers is more developed. The result of this can only be that the physical album will reach a time when it cannot be sold, and it will be worse than other times.
A time and space is faster and further ahead.
And this situation cannot be reversed at all.
At the same time, we can also understand why there are fewer and fewer singers releasing albums later.
In the download ranking list of music websites, Wu Hu's album, except for the song "A Zhen Falls in Love with A Qiang", several other songs have appeared in the top ten of the list. Several English songs are even more popular.
Domineeringly dominating the first four weeks of the week, the show was in the spotlight for a while.
However, the reviews of Wu Hu's album on the Internet are mixed.
Some people say that in terms of style, the style of this album is too chaotic.
Inspirational songs, emotional songs, rock style, lyrical style, and even ancient style...
In terms of quality, the four English songs completely outperform the six Huayu songs. It feels like Wu Hu focused all his energy on those four English songs.
Some people even labeled Wu Hu as a foreign-advocating *** because of this.
People who are not familiar with Wu Hu have no idea that Wu Hu showed off his angry youth many times in the program "Celebrity Wilderness Survival Show".
However, in the Weibo posts posted by Wu Hu when his album was released, there were many voices praising him.
"Although Fat Tiger often doesn't do his job properly and doesn't do human affairs, I have to say that I still like some of the songs in this album, especially "The Wind Rises". I didn't feel that good when I first listened to it, but the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.
I have a feeling that it can easily bring me back to the regretful but high-spirited youth. Fat Tiger, ****!"
"Although I have long known that Fat Hu is talented, I never thought that Fat Hu's talent would be so great! Fat Hu, you should just release an English album. The six flower-planting songs have completely hindered the four English songs.
real!"
"Isn't anyone paying attention to the album MV? Those hot English songs, coupled with the scenes of the national players winning the championship and Dayao dunking, are so touching. Once you listen to it, your pores will tremble. Especially when you see the national players on the field.
When I won the championship, my nose felt sore because I didn’t live up to expectations!”
"Isn't anyone paying attention to Fat Hu's voice? I can only say that Fat Hu is indeed a studio singer! His voice sounds much better than before!"
"It seems that Taoist fellow Daoist has never heard Fat Tiger singing live!"
"Isn't anyone paying attention to my iron wife? That MV is so touching, and my wife is so beautiful..."
"I have a question right now. Is the calligraphy skill that Panghu showed in the "Uncommon Words" music video serious? Is that the kind of calligraphy that a man in science and engineering can write?"
"I have reason to suspect that you are discriminating against men in science and engineering!"
After reading the comments from these troll netizens, Wu Hu finally felt a lot more at ease.
...
Over the weekend, he took time to appear on the Kimchi Country interview program "Healing Camp", and he accepted the invitation with the cake maker.
At the end of November, Dagao Niang released a single - "Audio Hallucination". The sad style of music captured the hearts of many boys and girls.
And there is Wu Hu’s voice in that single.
The three hosts came up and asked Wu Hu and the cake maker if they were lovers in private?
Wu Hu directly used "Don't say that, otherwise I may become the public enemy of all men in your country" as a shield for the other party to continue asking.
The cake maker covered her mouth and giggled happily because Wu Hu was praising her.
Then the host asked them about the source of inspiration for the song "Auditory Hallucinations". Wu Hu told that little story again. As a result, after seeing the show, a certain Kimchi Country screenwriter's eyes lit up and he started talking
I made a call to MBC TV station.
When MBC heard the news, they were extremely happy. The script that had been in the dust for more than two years was dug out, and they were ready to take advantage of the popularity and start filming the TV series.
They even wanted to invite Wu Hu and Da Gao Niang to star in this TV series. On the show, Wu Hu and Da Gao Niang had already started to sing the song together.
Then, the interview content gradually turned to Wu Hu, talking about his road to fame, starting from "Celebrity Wilderness Survival Show", and then talking about him going on stage to box with people.
The three hosts also wanted him to perform kung fu, but Wu Hu refused and told them that if they wanted to know more, they could look up some videos of him when he participated in previous shows. There were videos of him doing various boxing techniques.
However, Wu Hu didn't mind showing off his strength. At the show, he directly picked up the female host and the cake maker with one hand and carried them on his shoulders and arms.
Seeing Wu Hu doing this so easily, many women at the scene exclaimed.
The men howled like wolves, and some even whistled.
Then he talked about the movie he made, and finally about music... After all, the main people involved in this show
The reason is to promote his album.
Wu Hu also used this show to change his somewhat arrogant and domineering image in front of the world, especially after he sang the song "unstoppable" on the show, with his inspirational lyrics and
The explosive music style instantly captured the hearts of countless young fans.
Compared with the original female voice from another world, the version he sang is actually okay if you don't have any preconceived ideas.
But in Wu Hu's own opinion, compared with the original version, it always feels a bit boring.
Fortunately, in this world, there probably won’t be a female version in the future.
That night, after the show ended, the sales of his album "Fire" increased a lot in Kimchi Country.
...
The next day, Sister Su, who had been back in China for many days, called him and said that Kimchi Country MBC (Kimchi Country Television Station) had contacted him and wanted to cast him in a TV series.
According to MBC, the reason why they invited him was precisely because of the single "Audio Hallucination" that he and Da Gao Niang created. They felt that the song and the story were very interesting and worth a try. Even the script was ready-made, and
The story he told is very similar, but more exciting.
But Wu Hu refused. Although it was a good drama, he didn't have a schedule. President Chen had been persuading him to take time to visit Europe and the United States!
And there is also a supporting role in "Xiu Chun Knife". In addition, Yahuazi is still waiting for him to go back to film "The Star", how can he find the time?
If the other party is willing to cooperate, then his company is very willing to invest.
But when it came to investment, the other party declined directly.
They felt that Wu Hu's studio had too little qualifications. Even if they wanted to cooperate, they would find a big film and television company with more powerful producers.
Although the other party didn't say it directly, Wu Hu could understand what the other party meant.
But he does not have the resources of a TV station.
…
In mid-December, two weeks after the album was released, he took the time to return to Beijing.
At this time, the global sales of his album have exceeded 350,000 copies, and the data looks pretty good, especially in Europe and the United States.
The four English songs are already around the top 100 on the Billboard charts.
Although the ranking seems low, Wu Hu is not from Europe or the United States, and has never even appeared in Europe and the United States. With this result, President Chen is already very happy.
He even felt that if Wu Hu was not so willful and the entire album was in English, sales in Europe and the United States would definitely be much better than now.
When the news spread to China, many people began to praise Wu Hu. It is not easy for a flower grower to make a splash in the European and American markets.
From this, it is not difficult to see how strong the culture of worshiping foreigners was during that period. However, Wu Hu naturally could not say this, after all, he still had to make money.
If you make a profit, it can be regarded as bringing glory to the country!
Walking on the street, you can hear some of his popular English songs at any time. Occasionally passing some shops, you can also see some of his music videos.
With the release of Wu Hu's album, Tie Tie has become popular again. After all, her appearance in a red robe and playing the pipa is so stunning.
And Tie Tie also started to "return to work" by taking advantage of this shareholder trend, because she had already been admitted to the People's Art School. Although she did not take any roles, the People's Art Theater had drama performances. As for advertising endorsements, she was already waiting in line. Therefore, Wu
When Hu came back this time, he did not see her in the capital.
When he came back this time, he was called back after being repeatedly called by President Chen. The purpose was to promote his album and sell as many points as possible. It was all money. If he hadn't been filming, I guess President Chen would have wanted to tie him up.
Let’s go travel around the world for a week.
But Wu Hu couldn't spare the time. He was the leading actor in that drama, and the entire crew was waiting for him! Therefore, President Chen could only choose a few programs for him to appear on.
And the interview program "A Date with Luyu" he appeared on was his first target. During the interview, the big-headed beauty opposite him dug a lot of holes for him.
For example, "In this album of yours, there are four English songs. Some people in the industry think that the quality of your four English songs is much better than the six flower-language songs. Do you put most of your energy into it?"
Are you spending all your time writing English songs? Why did you think of writing English songs in the first place? Do you think English songs are better?"
Because those English songs are top-notch songs that cost a lot of money to redeem! How can the quality not be high? As for those songs in the flower language, weren’t they just sung casually?
Of course, you cannot say this directly, otherwise you will be considered crazy.
