Chapter 391 He will always exceed your expectations
Although, Wu Youjin felt that Xu Xiyu had never written a Cantonese song at all. But he has learned his lesson now and no longer calls Ali to do some fancy work.
The main reason is that it is meaningless. "Infernal Affairs" has become extremely popular.
Next, we just need to wait for the word-of-mouth of the movie to ferment, do a step-by-step promotion to maintain the popularity, and then wait for the box office to collect.
Of course, more importantly, he was really scared of being slapped in the face.
No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't stand being beaten again and again. It’s not like I was flirting, so how could I feel better after being slapped in the face?
However, just because Wu Youjin does not cause trouble does not mean that reporters will not "make trouble."
Obviously what Xu Xiyu said was "I have indeed written a Cantonese song. If I have the chance, I will publish it for everyone to listen to."
When I got to the reporter, the title of the press release that was sent out all changed to [Xu Xiyu said in an interview that she will soon release her first Cantonese album]
Not to mention, many netizens who didn’t watch the interview video were really deceived when they saw the news.
Especially the Cantonese-speaking netizens are even more excited.
After all, it’s been more than a decade since any well-known, serious Cantonese pop hit hit the scene. What you can hear now is still the same songs as before.
Xu Xiyu is a well-known music creation talent, and everyone still recognizes his creative ability. Therefore, many people are looking forward to seeing what kind of Cantonese songs he can write.
In this case, the entry #Xu Xiyu releases Cantonese album# went straight to the hot search terms.
When he saw this entry, Cheng Guangzu was already at the Pengcheng Hotel.
He excitedly said to Xu Xiyu: "Mr. Xu, let me see, why don't we release the theme song of "Infernal Affairs" you wrote in advance?"
Yes, the bilingual theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is so classic that Xu Xiyu will never let it go. He had already written it and gave it to the two lead singers, just like on earth.
However, these two songs are still under confidentiality and have not been released to the public.
According to the original plan, Xu Xiyu was thinking of releasing these two songs in the middle of the release of "Infernal Affairs", which is ten days and a half, to continue the topic of "Infernal Affairs".
Therefore, when Cheng Guangzu said that he would release these two songs now, Xu Xiyu smiled and asked: "Why release it now?"
"It's popular. Now everyone is discussing your writing of Cantonese songs." Cheng Guangzu said without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu stood up and patted his shoulder, walked to the window and stretched while saying: "Brother Zu, it's true that we need to be hot when doing publicity, but don't let the heat blind you."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Guangzu followed Xu Xiyu in confusion and also learned to do stretching exercises.
"First, "Infernal Affairs" is currently popular enough. Even if these two songs are released, they will not have much effect. Instead, we will lack promotional materials in the mid-term.
Second, the theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is closely related to the plot of the movie. People who have not watched the movie may not be able to hear the song. If it is released now, it may not achieve the expected effect.
Finally, although I asked you to arrange for reporters to stop me, the reporters downstairs in the company all came on their own initiative. In other words, the answer I just gave to the interview was a temporary reaction and the truth.
And those reporters who asked me if I had ever written a Cantonese song were also temporary responses, but sincere questions. in this case.
If we immediately pulled out a Cantonese song related to "Infernal Affairs", what do you think netizens would think? "Xu Xiyu stopped moving as he spoke and turned to look at Cheng Guangzu.
And Cheng Guangzu was not stupid. He immediately reacted and said: "Netizens will think that we are cooperating with reporters and creating hype?"
"Yes."
"But what's the problem with this? Making a movie for promotion is a reasonable and reasonable behavior!"
"There is a problem, and it is a big problem. Although everyone now knows that the movie needs to be promoted, there are some things that cannot make netizens think, 'Is he hyping up?'
Think about it, whether you or I, what is the reason why our reputation in Xiangjiang is gradually getting better now? Is it because "Infernal Affairs" is good to watch? ”
"Isn't it?" Cheng Guangzu asked with some uncertainty.
"Definitely not. Not many people have watched the feature film of "Infernal Affairs" now. How could this be the reason? Ultimately, the real reason is because the interview I gave was sincere.
Therefore, we have to ensure the purity of that interview and cannot try to gain popularity for "Infernal Affairs" on this matter. As long as we catch a little bit, all our words will become farts. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Cheng Guangzu's eyes widened.
Even Jiang Yue, director Liu Yongzhe, male lead Liu Weichi and another male lead Liang Yanyu who were chatting together in this room looked over in surprise.
Especially Liu Weichi and Liang Yanyu, they had few direct contacts with Xu Xiyu, and their understanding of Xu Xiyu was actually limited.
Therefore, what Xu Xiyu said now brought a great sense of surprise to the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other first.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Weichi said in disbelief to Liang Yanyu in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Hey, were you so thoughtful when you were his age?"
"When I was twice his age, I never thought so carefully. How about his entertainment business getting bigger and bigger? People are born to be bosses, and we are born to be artists."
"People also do art." Liu Weichi said with a smile.
"I think he can succeed in art or not." Liang Yanyu shrugged.
Just when the two of them were secretly discussing Xu Xiyu.
Cheng Guangzu's voice sounded again: "Xu Sheng, I've learned a lesson. What you said makes sense. I'm really impatient. It will definitely be better to wait for the release of these two songs."
After his words fell, Liu Weichi couldn't help but asked with a curious smile: "Xu Sheng, apart from "Infernal Affairs", have you written any other Cantonese songs?"
"I really wrote it. I wasn't lying in front of reporters just now." Xu Xiyu laughed.
Without waiting for anyone to reply, he continued to smile and said: "So, I will still release a Cantonese song this time. I have already asked someone to buy a guitar for me." "Buy a guitar? That's what you plan to do." Are you playing and singing by yourself?" Liu Weichi was stunned.
"Yes, many people in the comment areas of my various platform accounts now hope that I can post Cantonese songs. Therefore, we have to express an attitude.
Because everyone's enthusiasm was so high, in order to satisfy everyone's wishes, I temporarily recorded a song by myself, playing and singing in the hotel.
In this way, we not only successfully prevented some people from thinking that we were hyping up, but also were able to absorb the heat brought by this topic. "Xu Xiyu nodded.
Hear what he said.
There was an eerie silence in the room again.
Looking at the hesitant expressions of everyone, Xu Xiyu said happily: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No... no problem." Liu Weichi shook his head.
But in fact, he felt that no problem was the biggest problem. He didn't understand why someone could seize every opportunity and amplify the benefits?
What's wrong with this guy's brain? !
Cheng Guangzu and Liang Yanyu had the same idea as Liu Weichi at this time.
As for Jiang Yue, her eyes showed admiration again.
But what they didn't know was that Xu Xiyu's plan was much more than that. Now that someone had given him another chance, he would have a bigger battle after releasing the song this time.
Just when everyone in the room was having different thoughts, the "ding-dong" doorbell sounded.
After Jiang Yue heard this, he quickly got up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he realized that he had bought a guitar.
After bringing the guitar in, Xu Xiyu plucked the strings and tuned it, then said to Jiang Yue: "Just record it with your mobile phone."
"Is it about time to sing?" Even Liang Yanyu, who had never spoken much, was overwhelmed by the speed. Good guy, you really came as soon as you said you would, didn’t you need to prepare?
"Yeah, there's no time. I'm going back to Beijing soon." Xu Xiyu said matter-of-factly. He is not a starring role and will not participate in the road show of "Infernal Affairs".
"Wait, Xu Sheng, wait, I'll call the others over." Cheng Guangzu suddenly became excited. He felt that today's scene was particularly meaningful.
After saying that, he ran out while making a phone call.
Looking at his back that "seemed like he was back in his youth", everyone in the room laughed.
Xu Xiyu smiled and plucked the strings again to find the feel.
As the first Cantonese song he officially released on Blue Star, he naturally had to choose the song carefully.
There are several criteria for selecting songs. First, the content of the songs should try not to have anything to do with "Infernal Affairs".
Second, this song must be an absolute classic on earth;
Third, the connotation expressed by the song must have broad resonance and be able to hit the hearts of the audience in the shortest possible time;
Finally, the theme of the song will be unexpected to the audience who are waiting for Xu Xiyu to release a Cantonese song.
Based on these four criteria, Xu Xiyu chose a song without any hesitation. This song was also the first Cantonese song he had ever heard and could sing.
Just like this, after a while, all the leading actors from the road show of "Infernal Affairs" arrived, and the living room of this suite was suddenly full.
Not only that, everyone without exception was holding up their mobile phones.
Now, there are videos from all angles.
However, Xu Xiyu himself must still have a fixed camera position, so he only watched Jiang Yue's shots.
"Mr. Xu, what's the name of the song you sang this time?" the actress who played the psychiatrist in "Infernal Affairs" asked curiously, holding up her mobile phone.
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu looked up at her, smiled and said, ""Really Love You""
"Oh~~~" As soon as these words came out, the Xiangjiang "old fritters" present immediately began to boo in tacit agreement.
Fortunately, the actress was also a seasoned player. After hearing "Really Love You", she smiled without blushing and said, "A love song, is it written for Miss Ke?"
"No, it was written to Ms. Yang." Xu Xiyu smiled and shook his head.
"Ms. Yang?!" When everyone heard this, the figure of "Yang Xueqing" immediately appeared in their minds.
Especially Jiang Yue, who almost lost her grip on her cell phone.
I saw her winking at Xu Xiyu with an expression full of disbelief.
That look seemed to say: Brother, are you crazy? I know that Yang Xueqing's relationship with you is unusual, but don't say it so openly. Can't we keep it a secret?
Just when everyone was having complicated thoughts, Xu Xiyu added another sentence: "That is my mother, Ms. Yang Linqiu."
Good guy, as soon as this addition came out, the expressions of the people present were wonderful.
Obviously, no one expected that the first Cantonese song Xu Xiyu sang was for her mother.
When Xu Xiyu saw their expressions, he was very satisfied. They didn't expect it, so the audience must not have expected it either. Unexpected things are called surprises.
Moreover, although there are many parents in the world who are not human beings at all, "maternal love" is always the biggest common denominator that "resonates".
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu plucked the strings.
Soon, a burst of singing flowed from his mouth.
"An opponent that cannot be modified~~
Bring warmth always behind your back~~
Even if I am verbose, I always pay attention, but I feel guilty if I don’t know how to cherish~~
