Chapter 394 English Album Enters the Final Stage

Although He Jin has been paying attention to the sales of VCD, his focus is not on it.

He completely handed over this matter to Zheng Donghan.

And his focus is on the shooting of "Fast and Furious" and the production of the English album.

"The Fast and the Furious" was okay, he, the investor, had to look over many things during the pre-shooting.

But the filming entered the middle and late stages, and after the filming went smoothly, he was not required to be on the set at other times, except that he had to be on the scene when he had a part in the scene.

And these free time, he used to make English albums.

Oh, and in addition to the English album, he also produced the episodes needed for "The Fast and the Furious".

The name of He Jin's English album is easy to remember, it is called "You and Me".

Compared with the albums made by other people who like to use the title song as the title of the album, He Jin doesn't like to do this too much.

The main reason is that his album songs generally have several titles.

In this case, which capital to use is not reasonable.

Therefore, he simply chose a name that fits the artistic conception of the album's songs.

Most of the songs on the album "You and Me" are love pop songs.

Therefore, it is relatively appropriate to use the names I and You.

He Jin and PolyGram plan to release the English album "You and Me" from the end of May to the end of June.

Because He Jin's previous anti-war English songs aroused good response.

So, this time, Polygram's plan is to have the album released globally simultaneously.

In other words, this album will be released on the same day in all countries such as the UK, Australia, and the US.

Although Zheng Donghan resigned from PolyGram and joined Huaxing after turning around, the relationship between PolyGram and He Jin dropped to a freezing point for a while.

But this does not affect the two parties to continue to cooperate on He Jin's English album.

The entertainment industry has always been like this.

Perhaps the two parties will be enemies in one matter.

But in a blink of an eye, on another matter, the two parties will become close partners again.

In the world of adults, interests are paramount.

He Jin's last English single "I'm Not a Zombie" has created a total of [-] million copies worldwide.

This data may be a little worse than that of the world's top superstars such as Michael Jackson.

But it was also this data that made his international status soar, from being unknown to a second-tier to first-tier singer.

In fact, when it comes to statistics, he is already a proper first-line singer.

But because this is the first single album, although the sales volume is high, but to a large extent, the name of He Jin has not been well known.

Fame is something that is sometimes very mysterious.

Someone can quickly become popular all over the country because of a song, and become a popular spicy chicken.

There are also people who have released several classic songs in a row, and many people have even heard his songs, but they just don't know this singer.

When He Jin was in Asia, he should be regarded as an instant hit.

At the beginning, the first song "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" made him quickly become popular in the Chinese music scene, and then the second Cantonese album, the songs such as "Love Story Part [-]" and "Red Sun" completely made him popular in Xiangjiang Station. Stand firm.

Maybe it was because I ran out of luck before and waited for He Jin to go west. Although the three anti-war songs were very good in terms of word-of-mouth and sales.

However, his popularity is actually rare and the spread is very low.

Although his songs have been played in street shops, he has never been well known.

It is also for this reason that when He Jin made an English album, he chose pop songs.

His purpose is very simple, that is to spread the popularity as soon as possible.

April tenth.

With the completion of the recording of the last song, the album "You and Me" has officially entered the final stage.

Next is the MV.

It is different from the previous album that only needs to shoot the MV of the title song.

After VCDs gradually began to circulate in the market, singers would choose to record every song when recording MVs.

Regarding the MV of the album "You and Me", PolyGram had a suggestion with He Jin.

What they mean is to find a foreigner to shoot.

They believe that Asians are easily discriminated against in the West.

MVs have always been cards that represent singers, and audiences generally substitute singers for MV performers.

And if He Jin plays the leading role himself, he will undoubtedly lose a large number of people.

Polygram is not wrong to say this.

Shooting the MV with foreigners makes it easy for people to think that the person who sang the song is a foreigner.

This will greatly help the sales of the album.

For this, He Jin would naturally not be willing.

He sings English songs, not for the real money, he also has the idea of ​​promoting Chinese music to the world.

Who said Chinese people can't sing English songs well?
Who said the Chinese have no sales?
These are all things he wants to prove.

Therefore, even though he knew that PolyGram's method was good, He Jin still refused.

Even if the sales volume of the album is a little less, he still wants to let people know that Chinese people can also sing English songs, and they can sing very well.

Even, because of Polygram's reminder.

He Jin, who originally planned to only appear in the MV of the title song, made a decision that he would appear in the MV of all songs.

He just wants those foreigners who listen to his songs to know.

I sang this song, I am Chinese, I am yellow, if you disagree, please come and argue...

To be honest, fortunately the contract signed by He Jin and PolyGram is that they are only responsible for the release and have no right to intervene in anything about the album.

Otherwise, if PolyGram has the right to intervene, then it is unknown whether He Jin's idea of ​​acting in himself can be realized.

As the filming of "Fast and Furious" enters the later stage, almost all the scenes are now concentrated in the evening.

This also gave He Jin time to do other things.

First of all, there is no need to say much about the MV.

Since he wants to play the role himself, he must take the time.

And now "Fast and Furious" is shooting at night, which just gives time.

Because He Jin didn't plan to invest too much in this album, just a normal level is fine.

Therefore, it took almost no time for the MV shooting crew to plan.

At noon the next day, He Jin entered the MV crew and started filming.

The first MV filmed was "You're Beautiful".

The MV for this song doesn't have any supporting roles, and there won't be any storyline or anything like that.

Its shooting was very simple. He Jin and others found a tall building, and he stood on the side of the building and sang to the camera.

"Ah Jin, it's raining, do you want to stop shooting first?"

Shortly after filming, the sky began to drizzle.

He Jin looked up at the sky, the raindrops were not heavy, but enough to wet his clothes.

"Keep shooting!"

Glancing at the sky, He Jin signaled to continue shooting.

Then, he began to sing and move to the camera.

clap la la...

He Jin wore a wig, and the raindrops fell, completely messing up his neatly combed long hair.

He Jin ignored it and continued filming in the rain. At the same time, singing and singing, he simply took off his clothes one by one, revealing his muscular body.

jingle...

Not far away let He Jin fall to the rhythm music, and the song ended.

He Jin also stopped lip-syncing and looked up at the sky.

"Snap, snap!"

The photographer who had already started collecting equipment was urged by the director to capture He Jin.

"Ah Jin, you are so handsome. If this shot is released, it will definitely become a competition among major magazines."

When He Jin came over, the MV director said excitedly.

As he spoke, he showed He Jin the scene just now.

In the picture, the raindrops have completely wet He Jin's hair, and the water drops keep falling on his face.

While that's cool and handsome, it's not enough to make the director so happy.

What made him happy was the scene where He Jin looked up at the sky at the end.

In that scene, He Jin was like a person who was extremely lonely, the feeling of looking up to the sky was simply tingling.
