Chapter 277 Set a Small Goal and Make 500 Million in Two Years!

The voice of "Call Me Maybe" resounded in the fully open MV shooting set.

Compared with the original singer squatting girl in Wu Yuan's impression, Liu Yifei's voice is even sweeter.

To be honest, Liu Yifei, who is in her early twenties, is still very charming with her baby voice.

When she was a minor, she even needed voice actors to match her cold voice in "Dragon Babu" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" because her voice was too babyish and sweet.

Although her voice is a little more "mature" than when she was a minor, it is not mature enough.

To put it bluntly, 21-year-old Liu Yifei is a sweet girl.

At least when she jumps and sings, she is really super sweet.

Wu Yuan smiled like an auntie when he saw it.

Soon, after a short MV clip was shot, Liu Yifei put down the wired microphone in her hand, looked around the set, and immediately noticed Wu Yuan standing at the outermost edge with his arms folded.

"Brother, you're here~" With a bright smile on her face, Liu Yifei trotted into Wu Yuan's arms, not hiding it at all.

All the staff on the set followed her footsteps and looked at Wu Yuan.

"Wawo~"

"Daniel Wu!"

"What?!"

Suppressed exclamations rang out on the set.

Most of those who work in MV shooting are half-film and television industry insiders.

As a film and television industry insider, even in North America, almost no one doesn't know Wu Yuan.

This is the sixth director in the world to enter the billion-dollar box office club!

Although Wu Yuan has not released many movies in North America, he has accumulated more than $1 billion in box office in North America with just a few movies, and the total global box office is nearly $3 billion!

Such a director is a big shot among big shots for this group of staff who are still at the bottom of the film and television industry such as MV.

Including the director of this MV, everyone immediately rushed up and greeted Wu Yuan enthusiastically.

Liu Yifei, who hadn't seen Wu Yuan for a long time and wanted to say a few intimate words to him, had to puff her lips and give up the seat next to her.

"Daniel, are you here to visit Crystal?" James, the MV director with glasses and a beard, hugged Wu Yuan enthusiastically and said flatteringly: "Crystal is the best Chinese singer I have ever seen."

"But she is actually an actor." Wu Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh, of course I know." James also smiled and said: "She is one of the leading actors in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". I am very much looking forward to this work."

"In fact, I am a fan of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. I like this series of movies so much. Captain Jack is very charming and Elizabeth is also very beautiful."

"Thank you." Wu Yuan nodded modestly: "Is the shooting going well?"

"Of course, it went very smoothly. Crystal took a great shot."

Other staff members also came forward one by one to try to greet Wu Yuan, and the topic revolved around Liu Yifei.

It was no secret between them that Liu Yifei was Wu Yuan's girlfriend.

After all, these songs and the cooperation with the record company were all facilitated by Wu Yuan, and his personal assistant Daisy followed Liu Yifei throughout the process and almost became Liu Yifei's assistant.

Everyone knew it, so in front of Wu Yuan, they all praised Liu Yifei for her dedication to work and her good singing.

Fortunately, after the excitement, the set returned to normal order, and the staff returned to their posts one after another. Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli had time to chat with Wu Yuan.

"You are here." Liu Xiaoli nodded to Wu Yuan with a smile.

Now she is more and more satisfied with this son-in-law. She also knows that the young couple has not seen each other for a long time, and they must have a lot of private things to say. After just saying hello, she took Daisy back to the car to rest, leaving space for the two of them.

"How is it, is it hard to record the song?" Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's hand and asked in a caring tone.

But looking at Liu Yifei's enthusiastic look, it seems that she is still enjoying it.

As expected, Liu Yifei shook her head and said cheerfully, "It's not hard, it's very interesting."

"Singing is completely different from acting."

"Acting is more about the sense of accomplishment in character creation, but singing is completely about showing yourself, both are very interesting."

"Well, as long as you like it." Wu Yuan nodded: "After the MV is recorded, these two singles will be released. All the publicity work has been arranged. Major radio stations in North America will also play these two songs. I believe you will soon become famous in North America as a singer."

The promotion method of singers is different from that of actors.

The plays performed by actors are all shown on TV stations and cinemas, and then attract the attention of the audience.

But singers, especially new singers, want to become well-known, and they all rely on running various radio stations in North America to promote.

As we all know, the United States is known as a country built on wheels. It is the country with the largest number of cars in the world. Almost every household relies on cars to travel, so the car radio service in North America is very developed.

People in North America are also used to listening to some music radio stations while driving.

Popular North American singers like Britney, Avril, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, etc., all became successful by frequently appearing on radio programs to promote their songs when they first started to become popular.

For example, Taylor Swift's first personal music single "Tim McGraw" relied on Taylor Swift and her mother to recommend themselves to the radio station and get the opportunity to be played and promoted by the radio. Then it was out of control and quickly became popular in North America. famous.

Later, her single "You Belong With Me", released in 2009, was listened to 112 million times on US radio stations within one week of its release.

Wu Yuan does not expect that Liu Yifei's first single will get over 100 million radio plays, but as long as the promotion is diligent enough and there are a few more radio programs in major North American first-tier cities, "Call Me Maybe" will get more than 100 million radio plays in a week. Fifty to sixty million radio plays should be fine.

With this volume, if this song releases a MV, the chances of it becoming popular on the Internet will be very high.

It's just like this that Liu Yifei will have a hard time flying around major cities in North America, which is comparable to a movie road show.

"The promotion of these two singles will be very hard, you have to be mentally prepared." Wu Yuan said, taking precautions in advance.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and didn't care about it. Isn't it easy to be an actor? She also broke her legs during the promotion period of her works. She has long been used to it.

Instead, she remembered another thing, and moved into Wu Yuan's arms with great interest, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here, why don't you come and play the male lead in my MV?"

"Although the model the director found is indeed in good shape, she still doesn't look good compared to you."

"A big international director gave me the leading role in my music video. How sensational would this be?"

Wu Yuan wordlessly pushed away Liu Yifei's head, which was getting closer, and said with a black line on his face: "Qianxi, don't make trouble."

"Are you planning to make our relationship public?"

"How else would you explain my appearance in your new song MV?"

"What's the big deal?" Liu Yifei puffed up her mouth and said nonchalantly: "I invite you warmly, but it's hard for you to refuse. Isn't this the best explanation?"

"Who can be persuaded by such a lame excuse?" Wu Yuan asked angrily: "Besides, I wrote the script of this MV. The male protagonist has to show off his figure in the script, so where can I show off my figure? "

The original MV for "Call Me Maybe" is quite interesting. This MV was in Wu Yuan's dream at the time and became a global hit. It has hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, so Wu Yuan also copied it.

In the MV, the heroine Liu Yifei fell in love with her handsome neighbor next door with a good figure and eight-pack abs. She tried every means to get close to him and acted like a nymphomaniac.

Then she wrote this song, rehearsed in the garage with her band friends, and sang her confession to this "male god".

After the sweet confession singing ended, I thought I had completely figured out this male idol, but I didn't expect the plot to take a turn.

Just when she was about to take out a note and leave her phone number for her boyfriend, he walked up to the male guitarist of the band, gave him a note with his phone number written on it, and said "Call Me" to him. action.

It turns out that all the time spent with the heroine was in vain, and the man she fell in love with at first sight turned out to be gay!

The MV ends with an extremely humorous ending.

In the entire MV, the male protagonist is the most important role. He needs to be handsome and in good shape, showing his eight-pack abs, male waist, bullet muscles, and bat back.

Although Wu Yuan is still very good-looking, as a director, his figure is really not that toned and can only be considered well-proportioned.

Liu Yifei's proposal was rejected by Wu Yuan without any hesitation.

"Don't be ridiculous, just shoot this MV honestly." Wu Yuan poked Liu Yifei on the forehead: "The male lead has already been invited to play half of the role, and nothing went wrong. There is no reason to replace him midway."

"You are also an actor, don't you know how much such behavior hurts him?"

Liu Yifei pouted after being scolded by Wu Yuan. She also knew that her impromptu idea was indeed inappropriate, so she could only pull her head and mutter: "I know."

"Okay." After rubbing Liu Yifei's head, Wu Yuan shook his head and laughed: "You can continue shooting. I'm just here to check on you. As long as everything goes well."

"I still have something to do and I have to go to the company. I can talk about other things when I get home in the evening."

Since everything went well with Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan didn't plan to stay any longer. He had nothing to do while staying here.

After giving Liu Yifei a few words, Wu Yuan left the set again, without even taking Daisy with him, and headed to the Age of Light alone.

John has been waiting for him at the company for a long time.

Although the work of Light Times is regularly sent to Wu Yuan's mailbox, John will also have online meetings or phone reports with him on any important matters.

But Wu Yuan really couldn't stay away from the employees of Light Times for a long time. Since he came to the United States, he still had to visit the company.

By the way, let’s talk to John about the next stage of development in the light era.

As theaters and streaming media businesses in the light and shadow era gradually expand, Wu Yuan needs more and more funds.

As for Light Times, he currently holds the most important cash cow, so he must carefully plan the company's business for the next two to three years!

Set a small goal first!

Earn him $500 million in two years!
