Zhou Yan sang "Someone Like You" to Maria, and Zhang Youan was very happy.
He had told Zhou Yan before that if he could not find a more suitable candidate, he would sing this song to Maria.
On the one hand, Maria really wants to sing, and the conditions given will definitely be good. On the other hand, there are almost no female singers more popular than Maria now. Since the release of "Daydream", Maria's business influence has risen again.
Sing the song to Maria, the spread will definitely be higher.
In Zhang Youan's view, what is suitable or not is considered suitable only if it can be sold.
"One more thing, who do you want to sing the song "We Are Young"? When talking to New Balance, they mentioned this issue."
"I talked to William before When we were chatting with James, didn’t he say that he wanted to invite the Backstreet Boys to endorse their brand? It would be a good idea to give them this song to sing.”
“Okay, that’s what I told them. . And the lyrics, do you want to do it yourself, or give it to someone else?"
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll do it, and you'll have someone come over to pick it up tomorrow morning."
" Okay." Zhang Youan smiled, Zhou Yan's efficiency was really impressive.
......
The next morning, Zhang Youan ran to find Zhou Yan.
Opening the door to Zhang Youan, Zhou Yan was quite puzzled, "Why did you come in person?"
For such a trivial matter as lyrics, Zhang Youan could just send someone. After all, Zhang Youan is quite capable now. If you are busy, there is no need to waste your time on such things.
Zhang Youan said with a smile, "Originally, I was going to ask Karen to come and get it, but there was an unexpected situation."
"What's the emergency?" Zhou Yan asked as he went to get the score.
"Your scandal has been exposed."
Hearing this, Zhou Yan stopped, turned to look at Zhang Youan with a surprised expression, and said uncertainly, "You said that "Yes, a scandal?"
"Ang." Zhang Youan nodded.
“Here in the United States, or at home?”
"This way." Zhang Youan pointed at his feet.
Zhou Yan became more curious, "What kind of scandal can I have in the United States?"
Catherine's face quickly flashed in his mind, because he didn't know many women in the United States. And Catherine is the most likely one. Catherine came to see him at night before, and the atmosphere was quite ambiguous.
Zhang Youan said with a smile, "Yes, didn't Maria just come to see you yesterday?"
"Maria?" Zhou Yan never thought that the target of his scandal was Maria, he asked in surprise, "Isn't Maria married?"
Zhang Youan curled his lips and said, "You can't spread scandals with others if you are married? And they are getting divorced recently."
"What? Divorcing?" Zhou Yan didn't know about this at all.
No wonder Maria was not in the right mental state yesterday. It turned out that she was divorcing her husband.
Maria is the same age as Zhou Yan, but they got married very young, and they got married when their careers were on the rise.
"They were divorcing at the beginning of this year. The matter was quite big and many media reported it. I thought you knew."
"How do I know."
Zhou Yan didn't ask Maria why she got divorced, because it had nothing to do with him. What he cared about was the extent of the scandal between himself and Maria.
He is not afraid of ordinary scandals, but having an affair with a married woman is a bit too much. Even if he doesn't care, it will affect Maria and his wife, regardless of whether they are actually divorcing.
"How serious is this scandal?"
"Some photos leaked, of Maria entering the hotel and of you guys going out together. Although it is not intimate, the news is It’s very imaginative. It’s not very popular at the moment, but it’s hard to tell later. After all, it’s a sensitive period for Maria to get divorced.”
Zhou Yan immediately guessed what the news would say, which was simply that Maria came to Zhou Yan's hotel and stayed for an hour or two.
What is reported is the truth, and readers will definitely think more about it.
Zhou Yan usually doesn’t reply to this kind of thing, because it is very difficult to prove it yourself. Those who purify themselves will purify themselves. As time goes by, everyone will forget about this matter.
It is strange to say that when Zhou Yan was with Wang Zuxian and others, he was never photographed, but he was photographed more than once with other women.
Of course, it is reasonable to think about it carefully, because Wang Zuxian and others are more careful when they come to Zhou Yan, but Maria came here yesterday without covering up at all, and she was probably spotted on the road.
Even though he is so generous and generous, he has not escaped from scandals.
Zhang Youan was also relatively relaxed. He smiled and said, "This is not a big deal at all. There are far more gossips and scandals in the entertainment industry here in the United States than in China. You are just going to eat. If you are photographed passing by the hospital, , maybe it will be rumored that Maria is pregnant with your child.”
As he said, the level of outrageous gossip in the United States is beyond the reach of domestic gossips, so scandals of this level are not suitable for Zhou Yan. What impact will it have.
Especially for men, they have an advantage in this regard. It is perfectly normal for a male artist to have a romantic affair. In the minds of many viewers, this is even a plus.
“It’s better to ignore these news and don’t affect your cooperation with Maria. Just follow the normal process.” Zhou Yan said.
"Of course, the new song will not be affected in any way."
Zhou Yan glanced at Zhang Youan. He always felt that he and Maria had a scandal, and Zhang Youan was quite happy.
Had he not been quite familiar with Zhang Youan's methods, Zhou Yan would have doubted whether Zhang Youan was responsible for this scandal.
Actually, Zhou Yan didn't feel wrong. Zhang Youan was indeed very happy, because with this scandal, it would be good for the promotion of the new song.
"Someone Like You" Maria is going to release a single, and it will be out soon. If the scandal really attracts public attention, it will be a good time to promote a new song.
Many entertainment companies now also like to engage in this kind of marketing. Every time an artist releases a new work, they always release some eye-catching but innocuous news.
Gossip is the most commonly used method. Engaging in CP is not a new thing. It has been played very smoothly now. Many companies will also cooperate and let their artists promote scandals.
This trick is very useful, otherwise many companies would not still be using it thirty years later. Often the simplest routines are also the most useful.
Zhou Yan gave Zhang Youan the score of "We Are Young" and asked, "Let the Backstreet Boys record it for me first."
The implication is that if the Backstreet Boys If he can't sing well, he will consider other people.
"No problem." Zhang Youan nodded, and then asked, "Will the autograph session tomorrow morning be held as scheduled?"
This time Zhou Yan came over, and Zhang Youan arranged a autograph session for him. The promotion of the autograph session was not strong, the scale was not very large, and it was only arranged for two hours. If it lasted for a long time, Zhou Yan would not be able to sign it.
Arranging this autograph session is actually just to test the waters.
If the results of this autograph signing are good, when Zhou Yan and the others come back in the summer, they can increase the scale of the autograph signing.
"Let's proceed as normal. It's only two hours anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"Okay."
......
The Backstreet Boys received a call from Jeff Brown When we called, we were in Las Vegas, where they had just finished a three-day show.
Today's Backstreet Boys are no longer as popular as they used to be. They performed three shows in three days, with more than 30,000 people attending each show.
When receiving a call from Jeff Brown, captain Kevin Richardson said excitedly, "Jeff, you really should come to Las Vegas and see our scene. The atmosphere is really great."
“You did a good job.” Jeff Brown praised, and then said, “But there is nothing to regret, because I believe that soon you will be on a bigger stage. , hundreds of thousands of people gathered in one place to watch your performance."
Jeff Brown's words also made Kevin Richardson's blood boil.
The atmosphere of the 30 to 40 thousand people present was so good, it is hard to imagine what hundreds of thousands of people would be like.
Although they had three shows in three days, and the total audience exceeded 100,000, there is still a big gap between the total of 100,000 people for the three shows and the hundreds of thousands for one show, because there are many fans They all bought tickets for three games in a row.
Kevin was very excited when he thought that they might stand on such a stage in the future.
"Jeff, we will work hard, I believe that day will not be too far away."
"I believe it too." Jeff Brown smiled, "Your next stop is Phoenix, there will be three or four days of rest. During this time, you will go to Los Angeles."
"Go to Los Angeles, why?" Kevin looked confused.
They are not far from Los Angeles now. They can get there in half a day by car, but why do they suddenly want to go to Los Angeles at this time? Although the show in Phoenix is still three or four days away, it would be best for them to go there in advance and make preparations.
"Y wrote a song and wanted you to try it. His manager contacted me today. He originally wanted to give you the score and lyrics, but I thought that since you are not far from Los Angeles, then I happened to meet Y during the past trip. He is in Los Angeles now. "Is Y coming to Los Angeles?" Kevin asked in surprise.
In the hearts of these boys in the group, Y is very important. Although Y only wrote one song for them, it was this song that made them famous.
Their rapid development is inseparable from the success of "yellow".
Although the group currently has many songs, "yellow" is the most popular song every time they perform. Every time this song is sung, the chorus is the loudest.
Now this song has become the fixed last song in their program. As long as this song is sung, it means that the concert is coming to an end.
In Kevin Richardson's heart, apart from Jeff Brown, Y is the person he respects the most.
So he was surprised and happy to learn that Zhou Yanren was in Los Angeles. Even if Y didn't write a new song, he was willing to make a trip to Los Angeles to meet Y.
"Well, he came to attend the celebration party of "The Sixth Sense". You also know how popular this movie is now. I heard that the box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars."
"Yes, this movie is so popular."
After the movie came out, they also went to the cinema to watch it. It was indeed very good and the attendance rate was very high. Now they can often see news about "The Sixth Sense" in the news.
But every time he thought about Y being a talented director, Kevin felt that it was a bit unreal. It was already difficult for most people to do one thing well, but Y was able to do both music and movies. achieved great success in this field.
Kevin thought about the new song again, "Have you heard the new song? How do you feel?"
"I haven't heard it yet. You go and check it out first. Let's go tomorrow. , get this done as soon as possible without delaying Phoenix's performance."
"Okay, I'll tell the others right away."
After hanging up the phone with Jeff Brown, Kevin ran to tell the others the news.
The other members were excited when they heard that Y was in Los Angeles and had written a new song.
"What are the new songs like?" Nick Carter asked.
Kevin shook his head, "I don't know either. I'll find out when I go tomorrow."
"Did Y write it specifically for us this time?" Nick asked again.
"Probably not."
Nick was slightly disappointed, but soon became happy again, "Anyway, there is finally a new song."
In the past year, they have also Some songs have been released, and some of them are pretty good, but they feel they are not as good as "yellow". They always feel that the songs written by Y are very special, just different from other songs.
"Yellow" was not only popular as soon as it was released, but as time goes by, more and more fans like this song.
"Guess what type of song it will be? Will it be about love? Like "Young and Beautiful"?" Hoy said with a smile.
"Of course it's impossible. If it was the same song as "Young and Beautiful", it would definitely not be sung to us. Do you think we can sing "Young and Beautiful" better than Maria?" Brian said.
“Maybe, haha, we can also have a variety of styles.” Alexander said.
“Anyway, as long as it is Y’s song, I am willing to sing it.”
“Anyone is willing to sing Y’s song. I heard that many people want to sing his song now. , the song "Someone Like You" in "Sense and Sensibility", many people wanted to sing it, but no one gave it."
To put it into perspective, Zhou Yan has only had two songs in the United States. songs, but just these two songs have attracted major companies to compete for his songs. Everyone knows the goods, and of course they know that Zhou Yan's songs are extraordinary.
Besides, even the two songs that have been released have performed extremely well.
"Everyone have a good rest tonight. We will get up early tomorrow morning and set off to Los Angeles." Kevin said.
Nick rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I can't wait any longer, how about we go there tonight."
Kevin rolled his eyes, "Any time now, even if It’s midnight when we arrive in Los Angeles. How can Y see us?”
“We can go see him early tomorrow morning.”
Kevin did not accept the proposal, "Let's go to bed early."
"Okay..." (End of Chapter)
