China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 504 Pretending to be a big one

After the award ceremony ended, as expected, Lu Yuan was besieged by the media.

Excluding some media who deliberately caused trouble, he answered all other questions that could be answered.

Including reporters and fans who were on site urging for updates.

Regarding the next album, Lu Yuan had already selected the songs, so he directly dropped the words on the spot.

The fourth English album will be released by the end of this year at the latest.

The sudden official announcement of the next album not only caught the reporters at the scene off guard, but also caught Lian Qiu's back.

At the end of last year, Universal was still urging for a new album.

The fourth album and the last album under the previous contract.

After releasing this album, the two parties will collaborate in the future.

Therefore, Sony and Warner have been excluded by Boss Lu.

It is also the 12th consecutive Billboard single.

of course.

Although Universal offered a high share of the revenue, Lu Yuan would never sign a contract that limited the number of tours and albums.

but.

Sony and Warner want to pry away Lu Yuan, the King of Pop, but they have requirements for tours and the number of albums.

For a period of three years, there will be 40 or 50 events, about ten per year, and it can be completed in two months with a sudden attack.

The original intention of launching the second tour was not to make money, but to give back to the fans.

In fact, Lu Yuan himself also has plans for touring.

Regarding the details of the new contract, there has been no agreement. Universal insists on signing a 100 tour contract and five album cooperation.

Before the tour, the new album has to be released.

This is a chorus song, and Boss Lu has not yet decided which female singer to collaborate with.

Once you sign a contract, you have to release movies and go on tour.

With this song, Boss Huang successfully surpassed the Magic Red Band and became one of the singers under Lu Yuan who suffered the most misfortune.

The first song, "Closer", a collaboration between The Chainsmokers and Halsey, topped the Billboard singles chart for 12 consecutive years.

Lu Yuan has already made a retirement plan. How can he have five albums left to release?
Two or three at most!
Therefore, the two sides froze.

From 14 to 16, he will launch a new round of tour.

Tours can be arranged and transfers can be made, but it depends on his arrangements.

The fourth English album has no theme, but has various styles. Just like the "Selected Collection", it is a pure collection of hot songs.

If there are no accidents, Universal will probably accept Lu Yuan's conditions.

The second song "Shape of You" is a single released by Ed Lanxi, Boss Huang in 17.

The third song is a Spanish song "Despacito", also known as "Come to the SPA to Wash Your Hair", a famous Xiao Huang song, the same as the song "Shape of You" above.

The original lyrics of the two songs were so explicit that translations could not be written.

Therefore, the lyrics had to be slightly changed. This part of the lyrics was changed by Lu Yuan himself. With the original version, it was not difficult to rewrite the lyrics.

As long as the rhymes are right, it's not a big problem.

"Come to the Spa to Wash Your Hair" has topped the Billboard charts for an astonishing 16 consecutive weeks.

It’s longer than Boss Huang’s Little Huang Song.

16 weeks, also breaking the 22-year-old record.

Tying Mariah Carey's 95 single record, the two songs share the record for the longest number of weeks on the singles chart.

The fourth song "Reality" is a relaxed and joyful electronic song.

This is a 'sampled' song. The so-called sampling means legally covering it, paying a copyright fee, and then singing it again.

However, the song "Send It" that it sampled has not been released yet, so there is no danger of a hit song.

Unlike the previous three songs, this song did not appear on the singles chart, and its performance was not very good, but its popularity was not low.

The fifth song "Love Me Like You Do" is the theme song of the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey". This song is much more popular than the movie. Typical bad movie drama.

It peaked at No. 3 on the singles chart. For a movie theme song to reach the top three, the quality is already ridiculously high.

The sixth song, the single "Believer" by Dream Dragon, is a powerful rock song that is very passionate and passionate.

As a well-known chart-topping band, Dream Dragon's singles are famous for their strong number of weeks on the charts. This song stayed on the charts for more than 50 weeks, and it took a full year before it was released.

In an era when rock music was in decline, "Believer" could break into fourth place on the singles chart. In the 70s and 80s, it would probably be no problem to go straight to the top.

The seventh song "Sofia" is a Spanish song released by Spanish pop singer Alvaro Soler in 16. It is a fresh love song.

This song also does not have a Billboard ranking. However, just because it does not rank high does not mean that the quality of the song is not good.

The original singer is an independent musician with little promotion resources. The success of "Sofia" depends on the quality and appearance of the original singer.

Alvaro Soler can be roughly compared to Peng Yuyan in the West, and he is more handsome than the other.

The eighth song "Don't Let Me Down" is a single released by the Chainsmokers in 16. It peaked at No. on the Billboard singles chart and No. on the annual chart.

Counting the song "Something Just Like This", The Chainsmokers also became the hardest hit area.

Therefore, in order to balance it out, Boss Lu once again picked up a song "Hymn For The Weekend" from the Lengxuan band.

Coldplay's single with Beyoncé was released in 15 and peaked at number 25 on the singles chart.

Except for the above nine songs, the remaining four songs are not the kind of hit singles. They are the kind that have good circulation but no Billboard rankings.

Compared with the previous three albums, the fourth album is definitely full of "shoddy" flavor.

but!

Lu Yuan will remind fans in the album title.

The title of the fourth album, "Songs Of The Lost", has the same meaning as the "Selected Collection".

The album introduction will also state that these songs are leftover songs from previous albums.

Well.

Three of the top singles for more than ten weeks were called "forgotten songs" by Lu Yuan, which really made him pretend to be a big one.

With those three songs, the sales of the album will definitely be guaranteed.

As for music criticism?

So be it.

I’ve won enough Grammys, who cares about the music critics, they can write whatever they want.

In fact, Lu Yuan was originally going to play Adele's "Hello", but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with it, but that he couldn't sing the taste of that song.

Adele is also one of the few singers that Lu Yuan can't stop.

Apart from the international version of the album, Lu Yuan also specially released a Japanese song in the Japanese area.

no way.

A Korean song was released on the last album, and Liben netizens reminded him to update it every day on his Twitter. He can now memorize the IDs.

So, let’s post a Japanese song.

"Lemon", a song written, composed and sung by Kenshi Yonezu, is the theme song of "Unnatural Death" and has topped the Oricon Electronic Singles Chart for six consecutive weeks.

……

After returning home.

Lu Yuan issued a summons again. The producers who had just taken a break were almost suffering from PTSD. Zhang Yadong and Xiao Ke called overnight.

Don't come again!
They've got pig brain overload!

Please, hurry up and harm other people.

They just want to be quiet.

Anyway, I won’t answer it!
