Chapter 913: Departure for the Music Festival

After He Jing published a long article in response, everyone could see his determination to shoot from the lines.

But at the same time, this is also direct confirmation that Jiang Yuan and He Jing are indeed preparing to enter the field of science fiction films.

Apart from anything else, just this piece of news alone makes this an extremely sci-fi episode in everyone's eyes.

After He Jing published the long article, although everyone was still not optimistic, it was undeniable that they were indeed curious about this work whose name had not even been revealed.

Many media even wanted to interview Jiang Yuan directly to see how Jiang Yuan would respond, but not to mention that Jiang Yuan’s own schedule could not be coordinated, he himself was unlikely to accept an interview.

So in response to this hot search, Jiang Yuan simply forwarded He Jing's long article without giving much further explanation.

After all, "The Wandering Earth" is still in the preparation stage.

Even if the early shooting is completed, the actual post-production is the most time-consuming, and it is expected to be a relatively long period.

Therefore, there is no need to hype up the topic too much at the moment, and it is enough to just leave it at that. However, He Jing's long article did receive support from many friends in the circle, such as some directors he knows and actors he has worked with, who all expressed their support for He Jing below.

Jiang Yuan simply forwarded He Jing's long article and then returned to his photo shoot again, without paying much attention to related news.

“We have completed three sets of album photo shoots so far. We are planning to take a set of concept photos for each song, so there is still a lot of work to be done.”

When finishing work, Zhang Qing was also discussing the production of the album with Jiang Yuan.

In the absence of other work such as filming a movie, Jiang Yuan's latest album is the most important project for the entire studio.

Especially before the album began production, Jiang Yuan had already made harsh remarks at the award ceremony, which made Zhang Qing and others feel that this was an album that could not withstand failure.

Because of this, the team pursues very high standards in all aspects of production and wants to achieve perfection.

Just like photo shoots, when there are many makeup and scenes, there are generally always some key points to choose from, such as which set of photos will be used as the main styling and you will spend more time thinking about it.

As the protagonist of the photoshoot, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel that the studio put a lot of thought into almost every set of photos this time.

From the costumes to the shooting scenes.

Jiang Yuan certainly would not dislike this pursuit of exquisite production method. The only thing he cared about was that the production cost was indeed increased a lot.

With Jiang Yuan taking on most of the production work himself, the album's production budget successfully caught up with the production cost of a regular pop album.

“I think when shooting the MV, we can also take pictures of all the styles so as not to waste them.” Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully.

“Of course.” Zhang Qing nodded. “There are indeed some concept photos corresponding to the songs. We also designed them directly based on the MV scenes.”

“We should be able to finish shooting most of the two music videos before the encore performance starts.”

"And according to the team, it would be best to go to a music festival to promote our new album, just like when we recorded "World Songs" before." Zhang Qing said as he flipped through the schedule to check.

"Music festival?" Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard that.

"Yes, it's a music festival abroad. Many European and American celebrities will attend, such as top bands like the Blue Light Band, and some pop singers."

Listening to Zhang Qing's introduction, Jiang Yuan roughly got a grasp of the level of this music festival.

It’s almost at the level where domestic idols can start bragging about their popularity abroad when they receive an invitation.

For a music festival of this level, the number of live audiences and online attention will not be too small, so it is indeed feasible to simply mention the information about your new album during the performance.

"So have we received the invitation?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Yes, they have officially announced the first batch of guest lists."

"If we agree, we will be on the list of mysterious guests to be announced next."

As Zhang Qing was speaking, the first official lineup poster of the music festival appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

Although there are still some unfamiliar names in Jiang Yuan's eyes, the comments under the official announcement of the lineup clearly do not show that view.

The audience of the music festival thought that this was a lineup of gods, and the first wave of lineup was already like this. There were two words marked in very conspicuous colors on the poster - And more
Jiang Yuan was temporarily in that more.

"The performance will last for half an hour and will not be performed until the evening." Seeing that Jiang Yuan was interested, Zhang Qing further explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan touched his chin again. Being able to perform in the evening could also show how much the music festival valued him.

Being able to wait until dark before appearing in a roster of this level is indeed quite impressive.

"If the time is right, then yes."

Recently, I have been rehearsing for the encore performance and am in the hot performance state.

The performance at the music festival only lasted thirty minutes, so Jiang Yuan’s physical strength was still very strong.

"The timing is not a problem. The reason why I considered this music festival is because we are shooting a music video and we just need to go to this country for the location shooting."

"It just so happens that I can perform on the way. It's also a good opportunity." Zhang Qing said, feeling that he was a little bit overwhelmed.

If I had known that I would be able to participate in a music festival of this level, I would have definitely agreed to it immediately no matter when I performed.

In the eyes of many artists, this is a stage that they would love to get on even as a guest performer in the chorus.

As for such a stage, Jiang Yuanshuo performed it directly in the evening show.

To some extent, this is actually an opportunity for Jiang Yuan to improve his status. Singers who can perform at this period of the music festival have basically debuted for many years and have many high-quality albums.

As for Jiang Yuan, although he has only released one English album, this one album is already very impressive. In addition, he is both an actor and a writer, and he won the Golden Dagger Award and the Grammy Award within a year.

Together with the previously popular "World Songs", one performance after another made many people remember Jiang Yuan's face.

"When we announce the playlist, let us know that we will be singing new songs." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, he felt that they should not waste the opportunity of this music festival and should organize some more shocking performances, so as to achieve better publicity for the album.

After the theme of the new album was determined, Jiang Yuan quickly gathered the singles to be included in the album, allowing the entire production process to proceed in an orderly manner.

Therefore, there is plenty of time to prepare for performing new songs at the music festival.

"Okay." Zhang Qing nodded and started to get busy in the car. A large part of the work in the studio was coordinated by Zhang Qing. Despite being so busy, Jiang Yuan also offered a very high salary level.

It was so high that Zhang Qing was certain that even the top agents in the industry might not be able to get such a salary.

In addition to the salary, since Jiang Yuan began to rise, Zhang Qing also began to feel the joy of being an agent. While realizing her self-worth at work, she also felt a sense of accomplishment.

For Jiang Yuan, having spent most of last year performing around the world, he did not feel much before the performances officially started.

This is also true even though this music festival can be considered one of the best in the world.

But whether it is fans or some passers-by, the reaction is obviously not the same.

After the festival officials completed the coordination with the studio and confirmed that Jiang Yuan could perform, they also directly added Jiang Yuan's name when the second lineup was officially announced.

Moreover, among the second batch of artists, Jiang Yuan’s name was also in the line marked in bold using a special font.

Although Jiang Yuan's performance time was not directly marked, it allowed everyone to feel how much importance the music festival attached to Jiang Yuan, which was a very intuitive expression of his status.

Along with the official announcement of the music festival, related news and information were also released.

Although Jiang Yuan did not accept the interview directly, a lot of information was revealed when the studio contacted some media.

For example, news like Jiang Yuan will perform songs from his new album at the music festival and will also shoot a music video in the city where the music festival is held, etc., were all written directly in the news headlines.

However, it successfully attracted a wave of traffic to promote the new album before the music festival started.

On the external network, the discussion sparked by the official announcement of the music festival and related information about the new album was still quite heated, and it became a hot search trend.

[Awesome lineup. Finally I have the chance to see Jiang Yuan perform again. ]

[The lineup of the music festival is perfect again, so which day will Jiang Yuan perform? ]

[I heard that the theme of Jiang Yuan's new album will be very healing, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. 】

[Fuck, after being a stay-at-home for so long, I finally get to see Jiang Yuan perform. ]

[If you haven’t tried this music festival, will it be hard to get tickets? 】

[During the MV shooting, is it possible to meet by chance on the street? 】

Related discussions were also very lively in the local community, and many international students were also interested in Jiang Yuan's performance.

This also made the official Weibo account of the music festival's release of Jiang Yuan's poster the most popular post among the second group of official guests.

After receiving such strong feedback, Jiang Yuan began to think about the arrangement of the music festival during rehearsals.

The performance lasted only half an hour in total. For Jiang Yuan, who was used to three hours of high-intensity performances, this could almost be regarded as just a part of the concert.

Jiang Yuan sat alone in front of the mirror in the practice room, thinking about how to fill up the half-hour time so that the audience could feel the charm of his performance as quickly as possible.

After all, after reading the discussions under the official announcement post, there were indeed quite a few audience members who bought tickets just for me, which shows that they had high expectations for my performance.

In addition, at this music festival where many big names gather, Jiang Yuan also hopes that his performance can reach the highest level.

It is absolutely unacceptable to perform poorly. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan wrote and drew on the tablet, carefully selecting the more suitable songs that had already been rehearsed.

Precisely because the performance lasted only half an hour, there was no need to choose too many songs, allowing Jiang Yuan to make a choice relatively quickly.

The final strategy, in addition to using performances to convey the theme of the new album, was more focused on rocking the place.

After all, it’s a live performance, so the more exciting it is, the better.

After the direction was clear, Jiang Yuan also made a playlist, and the half-hour schedule was fully scheduled.

At this time, a musician from the orchestra walked by, took a look at the music festival playlist arranged by Jiang Yuan, and couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".

Being familiar with each of the songs above, everyone knows how great it will be to perform these songs together live.

Of course, it will also consume more physical energy accordingly.

"I guess only you can perform this." After careful study, the musician commented on the playlist.

Time passed quickly. For nearly half a month, Jiang Yuan went out, either to the shooting site or to the company for recording and rehearsal.

The biggest change in this kind of life is reflected in Jiang Yuan's appearance.

In just half a month, Jiang Yuan has changed his hairstyle several times. Although he is very satisfied with the photos and MV clips he took, he is still somewhat worried that such a change will cause loss of his hair volume.

In addition, what can better reflect the passage of time is the box office performance of "Detective Chinatown 3".

One month after its release, the film's daily box office had been overtaken by some newly released films. After the total box office exceeded 2.8 billion, the growth rate slowed down completely, and the daily box office shrank to around 10 million.

However, with this performance, there is still hope of breaking through 3 billion, so everyone discussed and decisively chose to postpone the key and continue the release. Many movies in the same period also made the same choice.

“The festival went well!”

At the Shanghai Airport, Jiang Yuan was receiving letters and blessings from fans before the flight was about to take off.

"Everyone, let's go home quickly." Jiang Yuan nodded and greeted the fans.

This time, Jiang Yuan set off three days in advance in order to complete the filming of the MV before the music festival began.

It just so happened that Jiang Yuan was also performing on the last day of the music festival.

After bidding farewell to the fans who came to see him off, Jiang Yuan headed to the departure lounge, where he used the time waiting for takeoff to think about the script for the MV.

After having the experience of directing a movie himself, Jiang Yuan has improved a lot. This time he streamlined the crew and decided to be the director of the MV himself.

He pondered for a while, until Zhang Qing reminded him. Jiang Yuan packed his things, checked in and boarded the flight to Los Angeles.
