Chapter 412 Will There Be a Fight?

When Saloli and Olivia finished listening to "Someone Like You" for the second time, another group of customers came to the bookstore.

They were a few young people. As soon as they entered the bookstore, they walked towards the bookshelf in the front row, and then like the two of them, they took down the CD of the new single from the bookshelf.

Apparently, they came to Bear Bookstore early in the morning 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 surprised expressions on the faces of these young people, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with their personalities.

Salori laughed, "It seems 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. And these people are Kelly's fans at first sight, so it is impossible not to like the new song."

When a song comes out, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Some people like to listen to it, and some people don't like to listen to it. This is normal. It's just that the proportion of people who like to listen to it and those who don't like to listen to it 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, it would be even better if there is an album. It would be best if the entire album is composed of songs written by Y."

"It seems that you are more greedy than me. I read in the news that Y is going to make a new movie again. I don't know when this new movie will be released."

"The new movie will probably take a long time. The last time I read the report, it said that the movie has just started to be filmed. According to the normal speed, it will take at least half a year to shoot the movie, and then the movie will be released in China first. It will be released in the United States after it has been released in Asia. Maybe we won’t be able to see the new movie next year. It’s a pity that China is too far away from us, otherwise I really want to fly there to watch the movie.”

Salori laughed, "Do you have to fly there just for a movie? But even if you fly there, you won't be able to understand it. You don't know Chinese."

"Maybe I can try to learn a little 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."

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. Come out, like Sense and Sensibility.”

"We have no choice but to wait, but we can first look forward to "Titanic" directed by James Cameron. I heard it will be released next year. It is a blockbuster movie."

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, "Yes, 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 curled her lips, "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 a science fiction film. It is adapted from a true story and is a disaster film."

"I'm not interested in disaster movies either... If it's a disaster movie, there doesn't seem to be much to expect from the soundtrack. You know, those disaster movies are very homogeneous in terms of soundtracks. They all have scary sound effects. I I also hope that Zhou Yan can score some love-themed movies, such as "Sense and Sensibility". Only such movies can have good soundtracks. "

"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? Okay?"

"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 you look at it from the perspective of adapting songs, it is true that the soundtrack of "The Sixth Sense" is less popular."

"Hopefully James Cameron doesn't ruin Y's soundtrack."

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 they have a lot of fighting and killing content, which 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.

…

After listening to "Someone Like You" several times, Salori looked at the time and stopped playing, "Let's go, let's go pay and go home to wait for the new song MV."

"Okay." Olivia nodded.

Then the two went to the counter to pay together.

While paying for them, Kant smiled and said, "How is it, is the new song good?"

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't stay there and listen to it for dozens of minutes. What do you think of the new song?"

"Great, for me personally, this new song is better than "young and beautiful", the lyrics are more plain, and it can move me more."

Olivia disagreed. Although she thought the new song was good, she didn't think it was better than "young and beautiful". However, she didn't refute Kant for this, but smiled and said, "Anyway, there are finally new songs to listen to during this period. We have been waiting for this song for a long time."

"Everyone is waiting for this song." Kant nodded, "But everyone's waiting is not in vain."

"Indeed, but I don't know when I can hear the next song." Salori pouted.

"Whose song are you waiting for?" Kant asked with a smile.

"Who? What do you mean?" Salori asked puzzled.

"Let me ask you, are you waiting for Mariah Carey's new song or Y's new song?"

"Of course I have to wait for both. Do you mean, who will release new songs?"

Kant smiled, "I don't know about Mariah Carey, but Y may release new songs in a few months, and more than one."

Both girls were surprised. Olivia widened her eyes. "You mean, Y is going to release new songs? Who did he write the new songs for, or...he will sing them himself? No way."

"I don't know if he will sing them himself. His new movie is being filmed. I heard that there will be many songs in it, not soundtracks, but songs. And this movie is likely to be released within a few months, and after it is released in China, it will be released in the United States soon."

"Really? Where did you get the news?"

The American media also reported on Zhou Yan's new movie, but not much. The main reason is that the two countries are too far apart, the news spreads slowly, and the American media pays less attention to Zhou Yan's movie.

Most of the reports about Zhou Yan here are about Zhou Yan writing songs for Mariah Carey and composing the soundtrack for Titanic.

There are also many reports about The Sixth Sense, but after all, The Sixth Sense is just a remake, and the focus of the reports is still on director Martin Brest and several leading actors.

Therefore, the two girls know very little about the news of Zhou Yan's new movie. After all, the only channels for them to get news are those well-known media.

Kanter smiled and said, "Don't forget that our boss is good friends with Y."

This is of course bragging. Their boss Harry has only met Zhou Yan once, and they are not good friends at all.

However, Harry has contacted Zhang Youan quite a lot, 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 it.

Zhang Youan, of course, was also very happy. In this way, the two of them kept in close contact, and Harry could always get first-hand information about Zhou Yan.

For example, this time Zhou Yan was going to shoot a new movie, and Harry might know more about it than those Chinese reporters.

"Did your boss tell us when Y's new movie will be released? Also, what is the theme of his new movie?"

"I don't know when it will be released, but the main content of the new movie is about love. In addition, I have good news to tell you that Y directed and acted in this movie himself."

"Really?"

"Of course! He plays the leading role."

Hearing what Kant said, the two girls looked at each other. They were surprised and anxious.

Originally, they were looking forward to the new movie. Now that they know that the new movie is about love and Zhou Yan is directing and acting, they can't wait to watch the new movie.

"What else is there? Tell us."

"There is no other news... Oh, by the way, in fact, an episode in the new movie has been released. Y played it live when he opened a music show in Hong Kong."

"Ah, it has been played? Where can I hear it?"

Kant shrugged his shoulders. "Unfortunately, I don't have it 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 sincerely gratefully, "Thank you, Kant."

At this time, another customer came to pay with a new single, and the two girls did not delay Kant's work. They said goodbye and left the Little Bear Bookstore.

...

The song "Someone Like You" was warmly sought after on the first day of its release. This much-anticipated song did not disappoint the fans.

The main reason is that Mariah Carey has been too popular in the past two years. In terms of popularity, she has definitely been the top singer 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 nominated for the Oscar for best soundtrack, and the popularity of this song is certainly not bad.

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 has also accomplished an unparalleled achievement, which is to win four consecutive airborne number one singles. On the track of airborne number one singles, she is unparalleled, and it is difficult for anyone to match her. .

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 many filming locations 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.

It is not difficult to file a report. After all, there are no big scenes in their movie, and there are no dangerous shots. However, once the report is filed, the degree of freedom in shooting will decrease.

There is no way to modify what has already been reported. If you miss it, the crew will most likely need to file 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 photo exhibition, so his clothes have to be changed many times, and the supporting actors who pass the scene also have to be replaced in batches. of change.

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.

However, Xu Guanwen laughed at the side and said, "This is great. I heard that "Snow Flower" has also dominated the charts on Neon. In this way, Director Zhou, your two songs, one in the east and one in the west, will 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, and 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 is released on Neon." (End of Chapter)
