Music critics gave the single "Something Just Like This" a high rating from MTV, which was overwhelmingly positive.
New York Times Entertainment Edition: This song is sung by a group of children, but it is for adults to see that there are countless tribulations in a person's life, and each tribulation may knock you down. How do we choose in the face of tribulation? It is to be knocked down.
Or work hard? The results speak for themselves.
Washington Herald: A group of children taught the entire American class a lesson. We don’t have the ability to create caricatures, but we should have the same ideals. With these ideals, the great American dream can be realized. Let us give this group of
Children pay tribute.
Los Angeles Entertainment Today: "Something Just Like This" continues to sell well, which shows that people not only pay attention to the beautiful melody and dazzling styling, but also conveys a powerful energy. This energy brings us the power of the soul. It is unimaginable.
It is the work of a child, and it is the work of a child that stands out in this complicated society. We need more works like this...!
Hollywood Visual News: The great director George Lucas has returned to our attention after two years of silence. His Industrial Light and Magic has created animated images that are so fake that they look real, which has impressed the entire film industry...!
Hollywood Film Factory News: If the Star Wars movie adopts the production techniques of Transformers, the box office may exceed one billion. It is obvious that Industrial Light and Magic's special effects production is already ahead of other companies. Of course, this is due to the vigorous efforts of Shengtang Company.
Investment has a lot to do with it. It seems that under the leadership of Jimmy Liu, a genius child from Stanford, Santang Company already has the capital to challenge Warner and Fox. Can they become another giant? We will wait and see!
Many mainstream media outlets across the United States have reported on the success of this song. Its intensity surprised everyone, and even Lucas found it a bit incredible.
Even though this song has achieved unexpected results, the number of records released alone exceeded one million in two months. But then again, there are many songs that have exceeded this number in the United States in the past two years. These songs
It also caused quite a stir, but it was limited to the entertainment industry and rarely reported by the mainstream media. Only super influential people like Michael Jackson would enjoy this kind of treatment.
Shengtang Company is just a small company, releasing a record for the first time, and even the singers are a group of amateur-level kids. How could it attract so much attention?
Lucas was puzzled, Ye Jinsheng and Lin Guodong were also confused, but Liu Lang had an expected expression.
"The reason? It's very simple! There are too many stories in this song, the most important one is that I am a seven-year-old Stanford graduate student, and I am also Chinese. There are some political factors behind this, and another
The reason is George. The Transformers you designed are really eye-catching. They are much better than the special effects in Star Wars movies. New things can arouse discussion. These two reasons together should be the reason!
"
"Well, Mr. Liu, you are right. The relationship between China and the United States is now very good. The exchanges between the two countries are very close. The newspapers in Washington have reported on this song. Obviously there are some high-level factors behind it. This is very important to us.
This is very good news.”
Lin Guodong strongly agrees with Liu Lang's statement.
"Jimmy, you are still awesome. I'm convinced. This single has sold one million copies in just two months. Calculating this, I'm afraid it will sell more than three million copies this year. This achievement will rank among
It’s in the top five on the best-selling list, and I think we have to win the Billboard Golden Melody Award this year, and the Grammy Golden Melody Award is almost the same!”
George Lucas said excitedly that he was previously afraid that releasing records would affect the production funds of "Toy Story". Now it seems really ridiculous. Sales of one million copies are sales of 10 million US dollars, excluding costs.
The net profit after expenses and various expenses reached more than eight million US dollars, and the rate of return was astonishingly high. Of course, this is because there are no big-name singers. How much money can a bunch of children have?
But Shengtang Company still donated 300,000 US dollars to the missionary school, 100,000 US dollars to the school, and the remaining 200,000 US dollars to be used for the future education expenses of these dozen children, and another 200,000 US dollars was given to Little Wayne.
U.S. dollars, after all, he is the leading actor, so this five hundred thousand U.S. dollars is the biggest expense.
The net income is more than 8 million US dollars. According to the agreement between Shengtang Company and Shengtang Music, the former takes 5 million US dollars, and the rest belongs to Shengtang Music. The money is at the disposal of Ye Jinsheng, and he can get 20% of it.
Put it into your own pocket, and the rest needs to be used for various expenses.
Not to mention Shengtang Music, Liu Lang decided to invest four million of the five million US dollars from Shengtang Company in the production of the "Toy Story" project, which means that George Lu will share the profits from the record.
Cass took a huge advantage.
Of course, it is not just Shengtang Music that has made a successful start, Transformers, which is under the supervision of Lin Guodong, has also gained a lot, and its sales have continued to rise. Especially in the past two months, the sales of toy models have surpassed DC for the first time, and the number one comic book giant Marvel
The company is not much different, and Shengtang Company's popularity is unparalleled in Hollywood.
"Brother Ye, how is it? Is my prediction right? This song became an instant hit, and now we have to take advantage of the victory. How is the song "Only Time" produced?
Seeing that everyone was happy, Liu Lang was naturally in a good mood.
"Mr. Liu, now the production of the MTV of this song has been completed, and it will be released to the public just waiting for your order. I have already discussed with Los Angeles Today Entertainment, and they are also willing to pay US$500,000 to buy this song.
The right to publish!”
Ye Jinsheng replied that he is now very high-spirited and has completely lost the decadence he had when he first arrived in the United States. He conquered the United States with just one song. This achievement is enough to make him full of confidence.
"Many people are paying attention to our second single now. Los Angeles Today Entertainment's offer of US$500,000 is considered fair. Okay, this price is no problem!"
This song "Only Time" was promoted as early as a month ago. The promotional plan designated by Ye Jinsheng is to focus on mystery. The external publicity is that this is a mysterious song that can bring people close to heaven. Another promotion focus is Liu Lang.
This is the second song composed and written by Liu Lang himself, and it is much more beautiful than the first song.
These two gimmicks once again attracted everyone's attention. Some TV stations have found Ye Jinsheng, hoping to be the first broadcaster of a new single. As the most famous local entertainment company in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Today Entertainment is naturally the first choice, and the other party also
A price tag of half a million dollars was proposed.
