Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 720 "Poker-Face" Seizes the Moon Crown!
"Oh?"

The person in charge of the U.S. side was very surprised, "You mean, the rest of the songs are almost finished? Then how long have you been making these songs?"

"Not long!"

Li Zhifan said calmly, "Today, it's only been about ten days!"

"A dozen..."

The person in charge of the United States has repeatedly confirmed, "Day-or-Month?"

"Day!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "This cycle is probably the fastest since I have been in the industry for so long."

"Oh! Gosh, I'm going to apply for a world record for you!"

The person in charge of the US side asked, "Using this EP to apply will definitely make you more famous!"

"is it?"

Li Zhifan never thought about this issue, but the Americans in the video taught him another lesson. Sure enough, when capitalism grows up, it is different.

……

With the strong publicity and the help of the audience, "Baby" finally made it to this month's list three days later.

In addition, it also won No.1 on the download list of a certain smartphone music store.

At this time, Hua Na announced Li Zhifan's personal Irs on the official social platform, and also announced the release of the new EP, and "Baby", as the main feature of this EP, has achieved good results, and said that because of this EP The production cycle is only two and a half weeks, so it will be used to apply for a world record.

domestic.

After the release of "Baby", there was zero publicity in China, but with the enthusiasm of Li Zhifan's domestic fans, this song still got several good chart results.

As the end of the year approaches, there are a lot of singers releasing new albums, and they all want to grab the first place.

"Baby" only got No.14 on the first day of its launch, which is considered very bad in Li Zhifan's previous results.

Many netizens only found out when they were looking at the charts that Li Zhifan had released a new English single.

But after just one day, he jumped directly to No.4, and it was a paid song, which got this ranking. The top three are all free songs. Not likely in the short term.

As the song's performance on the US Billboard is getting better day by day, domestic netizens are also extremely excited.

"Into the top ten!"

"Haha, third!"

"No. [-] on the monthly list! That's awesome!"

"Look at the annual list, it appears at No. 77, it's amazing!"

"I'm afraid this year is out of the question, it's the end of the year!"

"Is there a master to guide me, how to bypass the wall to listen to songs and contribute to the ranking?"

"This is the first time a Chinese singer has achieved this result, right? The audience in the United States went crazy, saying that this is the biggest surprise at the end of this year, the biggest hit list."

"Li Zhifan has successfully entered the American music scene, and he will definitely have a good development in the future!"

"This time it's really an international superstar!"

"I heard from Hua Na on Irs that there is still an EP, and "Baby" is just the first wave of the flagship, so looking forward to it!"

"..."

11 month 12 day.

Li Zhifan's first full English EP released in the US is out.

There is no need for the word "finally" for this matter, because everything is developing too fast, it feels like it was decided yesterday, and the EP is released today.

This production speed is slower than George's commercials.

On the same day, Li Zhifan finished all the shooting of George's car and took the opportunity to rush to the United States.

In this Internet age, it is no longer necessary to go to the streets to promote EP, and there is no entity anyway, and a pure digital album only needs to participate in a few online interviews.

For Americans, in fact, they have long been accustomed to oriental faces. Around them, there are countless Asians, partners at work, and schoolmates, all of whom are also Asians, and they are mainly Chinese.

There are also quite a few Chinese descendants in the American entertainment industry, but most of those who can become famous are banana people, and outsiders will basically fail because they are not acclimatized.

Of course, as a Chinese who is hardworking, brave and willing to study, as long as he is willing to study the preferences of Americans, he will definitely gain their approval, but for Chinese stars, it is too much work to study these things. With a very high performing arts income, why do you still go to please the Americans?

Therefore, most of the people who go to the United States to develop are filmmakers. They are not for making money, but for gaining higher popularity and greater influence. They also have qualifications and resumes.

It is said that he came to the United States to promote, but in fact Li Zhifan spent most of his time at home with Little Cherry and Zhou Ke who was about to give birth.

"I went to the doctor for an examination yesterday, this time it may be twins!"

As soon as they met, Zhou Ke took out a report and handed it to Li Zhifan. Before seeing this report, she was still a relatively calm second-child mother, but after reading this report, she couldn't hide her excitement and excitement. Look worried.

After all, they were twins, and it was different from when she was pregnant with Little Cherry. She was even a little overwhelmed. With the arrival of these two little lives, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

And the thought of two little troublemakers coming to the family soon made my mood even more complicated.

Pregnant women have very turbulent moods. Zhou Ke now receives psychological counseling every day, reads some depression-related books, and listens to some soothing light music to ensure a good mentality adjustment.

On the other hand, Zhou Ke is still thinking about filming "Mulan" after giving birth. The current situation makes her worry that she can't let go for a while, so it will also have factors that affect her mood.

"Don't worry, you are the greatest mother in my heart!"

Li Zhifan comforted, "Time flies, and it passes in the blink of an eye. Maybe when you think about this feeling again, the child in your belly is already as big as a little cherry."

"Your comforting words are not professional at all!"

Zhou Ke said with a smile, "I suggest you also go to see Dr. Lisa, her psychological counseling is still very useful, and she is of Chinese descent, and can help you solve your troubles in fluent Chinese."

"What troubles do I have, I don't need to see a psychiatrist!" Li Zhifan shook his head.

"Yes!" Zhou Ke said, "I think you have anxiety, otherwise why do things so fast? I heard that your new EP is going to apply for a world record? If they know that your previous album is also very fast, they will make a movie TV dramas are faster, I don’t know what to think.”

"It's not anxiety, is it?"

Li Zhifan laughed. He was indeed very busy, but patients with anxiety disorders often procrastinated at work and couldn't concentrate, which obviously didn't match Li Zhifan's state.

"what is that?"

Zhou Ke thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Next time I see Lisa, I'll ask for you."

"Don't ask!" Li Zhifan spread his hands, "Even if she thinks there is something wrong with me, I won't go to see it. Besides, who is alive, who has nothing wrong with their mind? Including that Dr. Lisa you mentioned, There must be!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Ke smiled slightly, no longer entangled in this topic.

……

After the release of the new EP, Li Zhifan has gained great attention in the United States.

Many TV talk show hosts have mentioned Li Zhifan, and said that he is likely to become a popular figure in the United States in the next few years.

And the other six songs in the EP also harvested the audience's ears overnight.

Especially the song "Poker-Face" climbed faster than the original "Baby". .

The adapted male version of "Poker-Face" is still electronic music, but it also uses electro-acoustic instrumental music in the chorus to add rock elements, and Li Zhifan's vocals have also become wild, and his voice has not changed. , not to say that a hoarse voice must be wild, but in the strength and momentum of the voice.

In addition to the singing part of the EP, Li Zhifan's name is also written on the four parts of composition, lyrics, arrangement and production.

Probably only in recording, post-production and copywriting, not Li Zhifan. In this way, the achievements in these parts have attracted countless big-name musicians in the American music circle.

"Oh! Where did such a monster come out!"

"My God! A Chinese musician? Their ability to learn is too strong, almost grasping the essence of pop music!"

"I'm afraid it's not just learning. Even American musicians, how many can accomplish so much independently? In my opinion, his talent is also extremely high, probably the result of years of honing in the Chinese music circle. "

"I really want to work with him!"

"There is a song in his EP called "Rolling-In-The-Deep". You can listen to it. I think this level of production is the best song in the entire EP."

"Oh, I like "Shape-of-You" better, but I have to admit that Chinese musicians are still very advanced in the production of the melody part."

"I envy Ives, he can sing with Li Zhifan!"

"Similarly, what level was Ives before? Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also became popular again!"

"..."

domestic.

The name of this EP released by Li Zhifan is called "LI".

The cover of the entire EP is black, with the letters LI written in red in the middle, but the shape is a bit like a capital U.

This time the release was publicized in China, but it was not as bombarding as before. It was only on the front page of the major music platforms. Announcements were issued.

In addition, any behavior of contacting the media for hype or contacting publicity companies to hire trolls was never done.

Li Zhifan doesn't need these things at all now, and in recent years, he has rarely spent so much money on publicity. He would only publicize himself in the first three years of his debut.

Moreover, this kind of propaganda technology is too low-level, and it can be used in the early days of the Internet era. When netizens read more, they will know what is true and what is false, what is malicious hype, and what is really popular and powerful.

Compared with those star singers who also released albums at the end of the year, Li Zhifan's publicity campaign this time is much less dynamic, but the effect after the release of the EP is even more sensational than those people, and it really aroused the enthusiasm of netizens sensation.

"Li Zhifan can write such a song!"

"My God, this rhythm, this melody, this production, it is quite international!"

""Closer" is really nice, and Li Zhifan's harmony is really beautiful."

"It's still done by Li Zhifan, and it's really done by himself. He wrote the lyrics and music, unlike some singers who wrote two songs and three words in the album. They are named producers, so they dare to say that they are all done by themselves, ha ha! "

"This kind of bragging is too much. On the other hand, Li Zhifan's EP is unpretentious. How do you see his copywriting? - Li Zhifan, who loves music, was in contact with the United States during the production of "Coco" in the United States. When I was in the same industry in the pop music industry, it was inspired, so I came up with this EP. How low-key, how simple, I don’t want some stars, and obviously the lyrics and music of the song are professionals, so it’s not that I provided the inspiration. Written with inspiration."

"Oh, I just realized it when I read the copywriting, "Coco" is about to be released, and I haven't bought a ticket yet!"

"The tickets have already been bought, but it's a pity that there are too few films scheduled. In our imposing second-tier city, there are only three theaters showing them."

"Hehe, that's pretty good for you. We only have one cinema in our fourth-tier cities, and there are two shows every day."

"..."

I don’t know if this EP will play a role in the domestic box office of "Coco", but in North America, after listening to Li Zhifan's new EP, many people bought the pre-sale specifically for "Coco" Everyone wants to know how the animation film produced by this outstanding musician is.

Therefore, it can be seen from the box office websites of various colleges and universities that the attendance rate of "Coco" suddenly rose, breaking through 27%.

In the hearts of American audiences, there is not much awareness that "cartoon is only for children", and even those who have this awareness, they will position themselves as children in their hearts.

The "Li Zhifan craze" spread from the United States to the whole of North America, and then South America.

Then, the craze flocked to European countries.

The first to fall was England.

Today in 2021, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets more than 100 years ago, but has become very much like China's younger brother, so Chinese pop culture is very popular in the UK.

The "Li Zhifan craze" spread from Canada, a Commonwealth country, to the British mainland. Because Li Zhifan is Chinese, the EP "LI" immediately became a hit.

Even the "Li Zhifan craze" was discussed on a news program by the British BBC. From the content of the program to the attitude of the host, they all seemed extremely flattering.

……

11 month 15 day.

"Coco" was finally screened simultaneously in six countries including the United States, the Philippines, Croatia, Singapore, Canada, and Portugal, but because of the time difference, some were during the day and some were at night.

Because it premiered in Mexico 20 days ago, many people have already seen the movie and wrote many touching movie reviews.

Some American reviewers, in order to know the content of the film in advance, so as to judge the film before it is released in the United States, so they went to Mexico to watch the film earlier, but the feedback they brought back was that they used up two packs of tissues .

So as long as the viewers who follow these commentators know to prepare tissues in advance-this has become an unofficial reminder and guide for watching movies.
