When Saloli and Olivia finished listening to "Someone Like You" for the second time, another group of customers came to the bookstore.
It was a few young people who walked towards the bookshelf in the front row as soon as they entered the bookstore, and then like the two of them, they took down the CD of the new single from the bookshelf.
Obviously, they came to Little Bear Bookstore early in the morning also for Mariah Carey’s new song.
This is normal. Normally, no one comes to the store so early.
But they paid the money first, and then unpacked it and started listening.
Salori and Olivia watched the new song for the third time while observing the expressions of the young people.
Soon, the two of them saw the expressions of surprise on the faces of these young people, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with their personalities.
Saloli laughed, "It seems that we are not the only ones who think it is good."
"Of course." Olivia nodded, "This song must have a very wide audience, there is no need to question it at all. . And these people are fans of Kelly at first sight, so there is no way they won’t like the new song.”
It’s impossible to satisfy everyone when a song comes out. Some people like it, and some people don’t. Listening, this is normal, it’s just that the proportion of people who like to listen and those who don’t like to listen are different.
But Olivia believes that anyone who is a Mariah Carey fan will not be disappointed with the new song. After all, this new song is so good.
"It's a pity that there is only one song. It would be great if it was an album."
"You are too greedy. It would be great to hear a new song... Of course, if It would be better to have an album. It would be better if the whole album is composed of songs by Y. "
"It seems that you are more greedy than me. I read the news before that Y is going to make a new movie. , I don’t know when the new movie will be released.”
“The new movie will probably take a long time. The report last time said that the filming of the movie has just started. At this speed, it will take at least half a year for the movie to be produced, and then it will be released in China. After it has been released in Asia, we may not be able to see the new movie next year. , it’s a pity that China is too far away from us, otherwise I would really like to fly there and watch the movie.”
Salori laughed and said, "Do you have to fly there just for a movie? But even if you fly there, you can't understand it, and you don't know Chinese."
"Maybe I can try Learn some Chinese," Olivia said seriously.
“I heard that Chinese is very difficult. Maybe you won’t even learn the basic vocabulary until the movie is released in the United States. I think you should just wait for the movie to be released in the United States.”
< br>Olivia sighed deeply, "That's too impatient. I was still thinking that after the new movie comes out, I can hear new songs. Maybe there will be some new songs in his new movie." The song comes out, just like "Sense and Sensibility""
"There is no other way but to wait, but we can first look forward to "Titanic" directed by James Cameron. Listen to the description. It will be released in 2018. This is a blockbuster film.”
Olivia patted her forehead, "Yes, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Y is also the soundtrack director of this movie. Is the movie being shot now?"
Saloli nodded, "Well, we are filming now. I heard that the investment in this movie is very large, more than 100 million US dollars. For a movie with such a high investment, the soundtrack must not be bad."
Olivia pouted. , "To be honest, I'm not looking forward to James Cameron's movies. I'm not interested in those science fiction films. I'm more looking forward to Y's soundtrack."
""Titanic" is not science fiction. The movie is based on a true story and is a disaster movie. "
"I'm not interested in disaster movies either... If it's a disaster movie, the soundtrack doesn't seem to have much to look forward to, you know. Those disaster movies are very homogeneous in terms of soundtracks, and they all have scary sound effects. I hope Zhou Yan can score some love-themed movies, such as movies like "Sense and Sensibility". Only movies like this can have soundtracks. It sounds nice.”
"We don't know what's going on right now. Let's wait until the movie comes out. You have to believe in Y. No matter what the subject of the movie is, he can make the soundtrack very nice. Look at the soundtrack of "The Sixth Sense", isn't it? Is it good?"
"The soundtrack of "The Sixth Sense" is indeed good, but to be honest, compared to other movies scored by Y, it is still a bit inferior."
"If it comes from. From the perspective of adapting songs, it is true that the soundtrack of "The Sixth Sense" is less popular."
"I hope James Cameron will not ruin Y's soundtrack."
< br>Hearing this, Olivia smiled. Although James Cameron is a great director, in their hearts, Y-chou still has a higher position.
Mainly those movies shot by James Cameron, the style is not what they like.
"Terminator", "Alien 2", "True Lies", these movies are all very famous and have very high box office, but they are all science fiction movies, and there are a lot of fighting and killing. Content, they prefer to watch some fresh movies.
For example, they both liked "The Flying Piano Boy", which was adapted from Zhou Yan's debut feature film "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", not only because of the soundtrack, but also the style of the entire movie. Addicted.
......
After listening to "Someone Like You" several times, Saloli looked at the time and stopped playing, "Let's go and pay, then go home and wait. New song mv ”
"Okay." Olivia nodded.
Then they went to the counter to pay.
While paying them the bill, Kanter smiled and said, "How about it, is the new song good?"
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't stay there and listen motionless for dozens of minutes. , what do you think of the new song? "
"Great, for me personally, this new song is better than "youngandbeautiful", the lyrics are more plain and touching."
Olivia had a different opinion. Although she thought the new song was good, she didn't think it was better than "Young and Beautiful". However, she did not refute Kanter, but said with a smile, "Anyway, this period of time is finally There’s a new song to listen to. We’ve been waiting for this song for a long time.” >
"Indeed, it's just that I don't know when I can hear the next song." Saloli pouted.
“Whose song are you waiting for?” Kanter asked with a smile.
"Who? What do you mean?" Salori asked confused.
"Let me ask you, do you want to wait for Mariah Carey's new song or Y's new song?"
"Of course you have to wait for both. What do you mean, do any of them want to release a new song?" "
Kant smiled, "I don't know about Mariah Carey, but Y may have new songs released in a few months, and there will be more than one song. "
Two. All the girls looked surprised, and Olivia's eyes widened. "You mean, Y is going to release a new song? Did he write the new song for someone, or...does he sing it himself? No way."< br>
“I don’t know if he sings it himself. His new movie is currently being filmed. I heard that there will be many songs in it, not soundtracks, but songs. And this movie is very likely to be in It will be released in a few months, and after it is released in China, it will not be long before it is released in the United States.”
"Really? Where did you get the news?" Regarding Zhou Yan's new movie, the media in the United States also reported it, but not much. Mainly because the two countries are so far apart that the news spreads slowly. Moreover, the media in the United States pays relatively little attention to Zhou Yan's movies.
Most of the current reports about Zhou Yan here are about Zhou Yan writing songs for Mariah Carey and providing the soundtrack for "Titanic".
There are also quite a lot of reports on "The Sixth Sense", but after all, "The Sixth Sense" is just a remake, and the focus of the reports is still on the director Martin Brest and several starring actors.
Therefore, the two girls knew very little about Zhou Yan's new movie. After all, the only channels through which they could get news were well-known media.
Kanter smiled and said, "Don't forget, our boss and Y are good friends."
Of course this is bragging. Their boss Harry and Zhou Yan have only met once, and they are not good friends at all. friend.
However, Harry had quite a lot of contact with Zhang Youan. Especially when Harry learned that Zhou Yan had a new novel to be released, he was very proactive and wanted to help Zhou Yan operate.
Of course Zhang Youan wanted it. As a result, the two of them had close contact, and Harry could always get first-hand information about Zhou Yan.
For example, about Zhou Yan's new movie, Harry may know more than the reporters in China.
"Then did your boss say when will Y's new movie be released? Also, what is the theme of his new movie?"
"I don't know when it will be released specifically, but the main content of the new movie is It’s about love. In addition, there’s good news for you. Y is directing and acting in this movie.”
“Really?”
“Of course! "Be the leading actor."
Hearing what Kanter said, the two girls looked at each other. They were both surprised and anxious.
Originally, they were looking forward to the new movie. Now that they know that the new movie is about love and that Zhou Yan also directed and starred in it, they can't wait to watch the new movie.
“If there is any other news, tell us quickly.”
“There is no other news... Oh, by the way, in fact, a song from the new movie has already been released. , it was played live when Y opened music in Xiangjiang."
"Ah, has it been played? Where can I hear it?"
Kant shrugged. "Unfortunately, I don't have one here either."
"Okay." The two girls said regretfully.
“Don’t worry, if there is any new news, I will definitely share it with you.”
Saloli said with sincere gratitude, “Thank you, Kanter.”
At this time, another customer came to check out with a new single. The two girls did not delay Kanter's work. They said goodbye and left the Little Bear Bookstore.
……
The song "Someone Like You" received enthusiastic response on the first day it was released. This much-anticipated song did not disappoint the fans.
The main reason is that Mariah Carey has become so popular in the past two years. In terms of popularity alone, she has definitely been the number one queen in the European and American music scene in the past two years, crushing other queens of the same period.
The last album directly pushed her popularity to a very exaggerated position.
In addition, "Someone Like You" was originally awarded the Oscar for the best soundtrack. Of course, the popularity of this song is no different.
The popularity is so high, and the quality is really good, so the sales of the single are also booming, and it has been sold out from the first day of sale.
In the first week after its release, this song successfully became the seventh number one hit.
At the same time, with this song, Mariah Carey also achieved an unparalleled achievement, which is to win four consecutive airborne number one singles. On the track of airborne number one singles, she is unbeatable. Dust makes it difficult for people to compare.
When Zhou Yan heard "Someone Like You" becoming the Billboard No. 1 single, others were already in Hong Kong.
They came to Xiangjiang a few days ago, and the crew has been working for two days.
Different from the shooting at the end of the scene, there are quite a lot of filming locations here in Xiangjiang. Although there are few big scenes, shooting is also more troublesome.
Not to mention anything else, if you are filming in an urban area, you need to consider reporting matters.
If they want to shoot at a certain scenic spot, they must first report to the relevant departments and obtain approval before they can shoot.
Reporting is not difficult. After all, there are no big scenes in their movie, and there are no dangerous shots. However, once the reporting is filed, the degree of freedom in shooting will decrease.
There is no way to modify something that has already been reported. If you miss it, the crew will most likely need to report it again.
In the past two days, the crew has completed filming the interior scenes of the male protagonist’s residence and workplace in Xiangjiang.
There are not many scenes in these two places. The key is that they are interior scenes and there are few actors involved, so the filming is very simple.
When he heard the news, the crew was filming a scene in which the male protagonist missed the female protagonist and went to a photo exhibition to wait for the female protagonist day by day.
The scene of this scene is the same, but it is not easy to shoot, because it has to reflect that the male protagonist has been waiting for many days at the photography exhibition, so he has to change many sets of clothes and act as a background actor. Actors also need to be replaced batch by batch.
Because the filming was in a hurry, Zhou Yan didn’t pay too much attention after hearing the news. He took the clothes handed over by the costume team and changed on the spot.
On the other hand, Xu Guanwen smiled beside him and said, "This is great. I heard that "Snow Flower" also dominated the charts in Neon. In this way, your two songs, Director Zhou, will be one in the east and one in the east. West, dominate the world.”
Ana Shen didn't know much about this and asked curiously, "Will Mariah Carey's new song be released on Neon?"
"Of course." Xu Guanwen nodded, "Mariah Carey is Neon’s most popular foreign female singer, her last album also dominated the Neon charts.”
“So, will there be a fight between Director Zhou’s two songs? "
"It's really possible." Xu Guanwen touched his chin and said, "It depends on when Mariah Carey's new song will be released on Neon." (End of this chapter)
