Chapter 269： Farewell, English Rose

Thanks to the authorization of the British royal family and the Spences family, as well as the support of Prince William, Warner Records soon obtained a large amount of Diana's video materials. Several editors worked overtime to edit the clips from them. Combined with some shots of Ryan in the memorial ceremony, it constitutes the picture of this mv.

For Ryan now, the recording of the song is not that difficult. On the basis of the accompaniment set by Warner Records in advance, the recording was completed in only one afternoon.

The song does not use multi-instrument mixing, but uses pure piano accompaniment, with Ryan's mature singing voice, and the image of Diana in the mv, which can easily arouse people's sad feelings.

Because this song was no longer born for another superstar, Ryan simply changed the name of the song-"Farewell, the English Rose"-so that the memorial meaning of the song is more obvious and pure.

The people of Great Britain who have always liked to cherish the memory will also untie their pockets more generously.

However, before the release of the single, Ryan specifically asked Pai Jinsli to issue a public statement that all the proceeds of "Farewell, the English Rose" will be donated to Diana's charitable foundation.

As for Warner Records, it is stepping up the production of singles, using its own channels, and quickly distributing it to all major markets around the world. Even though the quality of this song is undoubtedly, it has great timeliness.

After a week of intense preparation, the song was fully introduced to the market.

In conjunction with the release of the single, a spokesperson for Warner Records also issued a statement that after deducting related expenses for the song, the proceeds obtained by Warner will also be donated to Diana's charitable foundation.

Although there is no TV commercial and no publicity, this song has always been the focus of recent times. After all, nearly two billion viewers around the world watched the broadcast of the funeral mourning ceremony, and Ryan's singing left a deep impression on them. . This is already the best publicity.

You know, during the week of record production and distribution, Ryan’s personal website and Warner Records’ hotline were all asking about the sound of the song. People who like Diana need a channel to remember what they admire. people.

Although Diana was criticized for her private life, she couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for her. Regardless of the United Kingdom, the United States alone does not like the presence of the British royal family and many people who do not know Prince Charles, but Diana can win the favor of most people...

Also, don't forget who is the person who released this single?

The enthusiasm caused by Ryan with "Titanic" is far from dissipated, and no songs have been released for several years. His huge number of fans has long been eagerly waiting.

"Farewell, English Rose" went on sale in a quiet way, but it ushered in hot sales.

In North America and all the Commonwealth countries, people lined up in front of the record store a few days in advance. In just a few hours after the single was released, most of the record store’s inventory was sold out. Calls to urge the goods One by one, they hit Warner Music's offices in various places.

The regions where "Titanic" was screened and the countries Diana had visited. Sales are also very hot, and this song easily surpassed the momentum of "My Heart Is Eternal".

According to rough statistics on the first day alone, at least one million singles were sold. If the supply is not tight across the board, this number will even double.

This hot trend immediately stimulated Warner Records. They worked overtime to stock up, even if they claimed to donate related proceeds. In fact, there are too many operable places. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to further expand the influence and market share of Warner Music.

Without any suspense, the single-day sales record, the fastest record of breaking one million and the fastest record of breaking two million, all fell apart in front of "Farewell, the English Rose".

even. When the weekend of record sales hits, the major record chains in the English-speaking area have to put up signs saying "Farewell, English Roses" is out of stock...

It's not that Warner Records doesn't work hard. But the preparation time is too short and the market response is too hot. Even if they are the leaders in the recording industry, they cannot afford such a huge supply in a short time.

Even so, when the new week's single sales statistics were released, "Farewell, the English Rose" broke the single weekly sales record held by "I Will Love You Forever" without any suspense.

This song, composed by Ryan and performed by Whitney Houston, set a global single sales record of more than 130,000 on a single Saturday, including Ryan's own "Cup of Life" and this year's "Cup of Life". "My Heart is Eternal" couldn't shake this number, and it was once regarded by music critics as a record that could not be surpassed in the short term.

"Farewell, the English Rose" not only broke this record, the sales figures are still several times higher.

Four and one hundred and fifty thousand copies, not to mention pop fans and so-called experts from the outside world, even Ryan himself was speechless after hearing about it.

This record destined to be recorded by Guinness, I am afraid that no one can break it in decades.

No one knows better than Ryan that after entering the new century, the Internet will become popular, and the traditional recording industry is shrinking rapidly. Such weekly single sales records are no less than a godsend for later pop singers.

However, this is far from over. In the following month, Warner Records made full supply of the singles, riding the wind and waves like that big ship. In the stunned everyone, they sold more than 10 million sales, which will be a single in history. The highest sales record was embraced.

Everyone is sighing that 1997 in the entertainment industry was a year that completely belonged to Ryan Jenkins!

Of course, Ryan kept a sober mind while rejoicing. Needless to say, Big Ship, "Farewell, the English Rose" was able to make such a sensation because of the specific historical and social environment. Diana's contribution to it Far more than himself. After all, the rock star who disappeared inexplicably in this life has also created a unique record in his previous life.

"It is undeniable that "Farewell, the English Rose" can set a record, with specific factors, but this song is good enough, and the sadness and nostalgia in it directly touch the softest part of the heart. This can resonate and resonate Deep emotional music is good music. Ryan Jenkins did it this time!"

Professional music magazines gave this song a very high evaluation.

"Despite the great commercial success of "My Lover", the quality of those saliva songs is really unsatisfactory. This time Ryan has finally returned to the most essential music, creating and singing with his own heart and feelings. Maybe It was the death of this friend of Diana, which gave him endless sadness and inspiration to create such an excellent song in just a few days."

"Regardless of the quality of the songs, just look at the record set by Ryan this year. After collecting the film’s first week box office record and the global box office record, he seems to be unsatisfied, and once again put the singles in pop music. The weekly sales record and the total record are easily picked up. Perhaps we should call him Mr. Record Breaker? I believe that these records, especially those in music, will not be broken even in another 20 years."

Although he could not get money from it, it brought Ryan a huge reputation, and unexpectedly, it also stimulated the box office of "Titanic".

Perhaps entertainment is a good way to avoid grief. Since Diana’s funeral, "Titanic" has seen a small increase in the box office in North America and the Commonwealth of Nations, and "Farewell, the English Rose" has set a single record. One week, there was a huge rebound in the North American box office.

The nearly 80% increase has stunned all the experts, etc., causing the media to throw more praise on Ryan and "Titanic", and many theaters that are preparing to move down have changed their minds. , Re-signed a long-term contract with the issuer.

However, everyone is surprised and understands that such an upward trend will certainly not last long. How many box office numbers a movie can obtain in the end depends on the accumulation of time.

With the passage of time, the grief caused by Diana's accidental death gradually faded. Whether Wuchao was a single or a movie, it returned to its original stable state, and speculations about the cause of her death and the commercial behavior of making a lot of money, It's just started.

A lot of media focused on Ireland, because Ryan starred in another film officially started, this epic masterpiece that is said to commemorate the victory of the anti-fascist war, will it be as successful as "Titanic"?

This has become the most frequently asked questions by reporters around the crew in recent times.

In fact, everyone understands that this is just booing and hype. The success of "Titanic" is extremely difficult to replicate. Not to mention others, even Spielberg thinks it is difficult to do.

However, the collaboration between Ryan, Spielberg and Tom Hanks after "Cat and Mouse Game" was enough to cause a sensation. UU reading

The battlefield of the small town converted from an abandoned air force base was filled with gunpowder. The roaring explosions were endless. Teams of elite German and dirty American troops shuttled back and forth, sometimes hiding behind abandoned buildings. '.

Ryan was carrying the M1 Garland rifle, constantly changing his hiding place amid Tom Hanks's yelling of "shift".

In fact, he couldn't hear the sound of the scene at all, because the explosion was too loud. In order to protect the actor's hearing, earplugs were added to everyone's ears.

As for the role of Ryan, naturally the protagonist who is not the protagonist is the rescued soldier Ryan.

Originally, Ryan's favorite character was Urban, but under the strong opposition of Pai Kingsley and Nicole Kidman, he had to give up this plan.

In fact, there is some truth in what they say. The image changes too fast and too big, which may not be a good thing. If it cannot be accepted by others, it would be really a tragedy.
