Chapter 217： Platinum Sales

, The MV of Crazy World was shot by Ai Nubel for an afternoon. She didn't wait for the light and didn't deliberately hurry. It only took more than four hours to shoot before and after, and it was completed. But before the shooting, Evan Bell thought on and off for nearly a month. In order to show the thoughts in his heart, especially the connotation of "crazy world", Evan Bell thought for a long time.

Once the MV was released, it was widely praised. Today, the Eleven Music Blog, which has more than 500,000 page views every day, has countless people leaving comments praising "Crazy World".

In "Death Illusion..., in this movie, a song "Crazy World... can be said to be a goddess that expresses all the ideas of Richard Kelly incisively and vividly, and this song also becomes "Death Illusion" The love of professional filmmakers: In the eyes of professional music critics and songwriters, this song has a very high completion, and its artistic conception is even more moving. The emotion contained in it may not be as direct and profound as "just a dream", but it is better than the lasting appeal. , leaving more infinite thoughts in my heart.

After the "Crazy World" line in the applause, Japan contributed 140,000 downloads on ITUNES, breaking ITUNES's daily download record again. The explosive power of the digital sound source is mainly due to the great contribution of the faithful filmmakers of "Illusion of Death".

What's more, "Crazy World" is really amazing in the lasting ability of ITUNES, in 2002

Before the arrival of the year, it occupied the first place in the download rankings, won the download championship for 50 consecutive days, and broke the previous record of "just a dream" for 43 consecutive days.

"Crazy World" has created 100,000 to 200,000 downloads within 50 days on ITUNES, and it is also the fastest single with over 10,000 downloads since the commercialization of digital music.

In terms of physical singles, "Crazy World..." is less powerful than "Tonight Tonight", but more reflected in the long stamina. The sales figures of 120,000 per week have successfully entered the top ten of the Billboard singles chart. , Kankan suppressed the "Tonight Tonight" head and ranked fifth.

As a result, within the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, there are still three positions that belong to Evan Bell's "Just a Dream" and are still in the top ten, while "Broad Ocean" and "Behind the Nose" are still in the top ten. Strong tǐng within the first twenty.

In the second week, the sales of 130,000 rose slightly. "Crazy World" also moved up one place on the list: in the third week, December has quietly come and "Crazy World" once again won the eleventh 10,000 sales, although the number has dropped a little, but the position of the list has come to the third place.

At the same time, the joyous atmosphere of Christmas has finally arrived, dispelling a lot of the sadness that filled the air in September, and the entertainment market has been lurking for more than two months and has regained its vitality again.

In the fourth week, "Crazy World" successfully topped the Billboard singles chart with sales of 160,000, becoming Evan Bell's third number one after "Broad Sky" and "Tonight Tonight". single.

It is worth celebrating that an album can have a number one single, and it is a success for a newcomer to have a number one single. Evan and Bell not only did both, but also managed to make five singles within half a year. Three consecutive number one singles. At this moment, Evan Bell has far surpassed Alicia Keys to become the most shining newcomer in 2001!

"Crazy World" was still too sad after all, and slipped to the runner-up position before Christmas, making way for the Christmas song. At the same time, in the festive atmosphere of Christmas, "Just a Dream" finally fell out of the top ten on the Billboard singles chart. Although it is still in the top twenty, its momentum has finally weakened. On the other hand, "Tonight Tonight" is very suitable for the celebration of the party. The sales volume has actually risen again, and it has also climbed one place in the top ten, from the eighth place last week to the seventh place.

The weekly sales of "Crazy World" almost remained at around 100,000 in the following weeks, showing an amazing follow-up ability. Even in the last issue of the Billboard singles chart in 2001, the sales also exploded for a while, and then recovered. . It also allowed "Crazy World" to successfully remain in the top five on the Billboard singles chart until the end of 2001.

Although the physical single of "Crazy World" created 10,000 sales before the end of the year, it was difficult to squeeze into the top of the singles chart at the end of the year because the running time was too slow. However, the 10,000 sales were also successfully certified platinum, making it one of the best-selling singles.

After the five single trips, Evan Bell did not turn down all the promotional schedules, but squeezed out some time according to his own academic arrangements. In addition, on the weekends, he participated in a series of promotional activities, which also made Claire-Days Was overjoyed.

Radio, TV shows, live performances, Evan Bell has been familiar with it recently, and even held a signing party because of the good response of the single and album, which also received a warm response from the song mí.

Undoubtedly, Evan-Bell's greatest achievement in 2001 was to break through the sky in terms of music: the film that started its activities first got a newcomer because only "Death Illusion..." was released for the time being. . 's name,

But I believe that with the release of several other films, the exhibition of things will definitely bring surprises again.

When it comes to movies, we have to mention Evan Bell's latest work "Adapted Screenplay".

When Eden-Hudson learned that Evan-Bell actually took on the role of a fifty-year-old ruffian, and was still a supporting role, he took off his iceberg appearance and laughed eccentrically. Indeed, different from the character of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" this time, both in terms of age, mentality, and state, they are all far away from the age of 20.

After laughing, Eden Hudson also had to admire Evan Bell. In the face of various challenges, his friend's attitude could always easily win his respect. Moreover, laughing after laughing, Eden-Hudson knew that if he hadn't had an idea, Evan-Bell wouldn't have taken this role at will. To give the simplest example, Evan Bell's current level of mountaineering is only moderate. He can't rashly climb such a difficult mountain range as the Himalayas. This is not an adventure but a courtship for death. Self-knowledge, Evan Bell has always been very aware of his own weight.

Before joining the "Adapted Script" crew, the Evan Bell School thing finally came to an end.

The graduation thesis in psychology has been revised. This is already the fifth draft of Evan-Bell, but Muller-Lance still did not nod to approve it. However, Evan-Bell knows that there is no problem in the general direction, but we still need to continue digging in the conclusion, and it is estimated that it will not be long in the next semester.

This winter vacation, Evan-Bell only needs to take time out to prepare for the teaching of basic psychology. Although there is still more than half a year before the fall semester of 2002, Evan-Bell does not want to be in a hurry at that time, nor does he want to mislead his children.

As for the plans for the new World Trade Center building, Evan Bell did not make any changes, which does not mean there is no progress. Evan-Bell has inquired about various information, and has already had a preliminary idea for the revision of the drawings, but before it is implemented, the design drawings can only be regarded as standing still. But there is still a lot of time, and Evan-Bell can make a **** to slow down his pace and craft it carefully.

There are also French and German "Damn German." This is Evan Bell's [answer]. Because French has been studied for a long time, it is not bad to pick it up again, but German, Evan Bell feels that he has a brain Half of the cells are dead here. Fortunately, Evan-Bell knows very well that learning a language cannot be rushed, only slowly.

Before the end of the fall semester, Evan-Bell met his two tutors again, and instead of talking about his studies, he started chatting. Regarding Evan-Bell's busyness like a top, the two tutors agreed. It is definitely a correct rate to study a lot while young, and Evan-Bell is still enjoying it, which is the best.

After leaving Harvard, I was accompanied by Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson. Jason Mayez had already returned to his hometown in Virginia for Christmas. Eden Hudson did not mention it. Evan-Bell didn't ask about going home for Christmas. By the end of November, he asked, "Would you like to go back with me for Christmas? Catherine said it several times.

"On Eden Hudson's birthday, Catherine Bell also called to congratulate her.

Eden-Hudson was not pretentious, and simply nodded and agreed, "After the festival is the New Year, and the office urged me to go there."

The two of them didn't talk any further, Eden-Hudson didn't mention his parents, and Evan-Bell didn't ask any furtherEvan-Bell knew that, although he said that he missed his parents every time during the festive season. , but if after returning home, the huge house is empty and only oneself is alone, and the unpopular house will only make the excitement of the festival a joke. Eden-Hudson was the same traveller as he was in his previous life.

Evan Bell knew very well that, in such a situation, a close friend **** everything else. In fact, they don't need much, but many times, even a greeting is a luxury. He and Eden-Hudson were friends, and Catherine-Bell and Teddy-Ale also liked this iceberg very much, so it was normal to invite friends to spend Christmas together.

"I'm going to shoot a movie next, so I'm probably busy. Please help Catherine with the renovation of the Eleventh Studio." Evan Bell mentioned this matter, and the house at No. 11 Prince Street has been cleaned up. , Investing in the decoration, Catherine Bell has been busy with decoration, and has to take into account the transfer of the eleven dry cleaners, as well as the preliminary preparations of the design studio. She has been too busy for the past two months. Obviously things would be a lot better with Eden-Hudson's help.

Eden-Hudson did not refuse, but said coldly, "If the interior design is not satisfactory, I will point fingers."

Evan-Bell smiled, "Welcome advice."! .
