Chapter 269 Farewell, English Rose

Thanks to the authorization of the British royal family and the Spence family, and the support of Prince William, Warner Records quickly obtained a large amount of Diana's video materials. Several editors worked overtime to combine the clips edited from them with some shots of Ryan at the memorial ceremony to form the picture of this MV.

For Ryan now, recording the song is not difficult. On the basis that Warner Records completed the accompaniment in advance, it took only one afternoon to record it.

Instead of multi-instrumental mixing, the song uses pure piano accompaniment, paired with Ryan's mature voice, and the image of Diana in the MV can easily arouse sad feelings.

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

The British people who have always like to remember will unpack more generously.

However, before the single was released, Ryan deliberately asked Pai Jinsley to issue a public statement that all the proceeds from "Farewell, British Rose" will be donated to Diana's charitable foundation.

In terms of Warner Records, it is stepping up the production of singles, using its own channels, and quickly distributes goods to major markets around the world. Even though the excellence of this song is undoubtedly great, it has great timeliness.

After a week of intense preparation, the song was fully launched into the market.

In conjunction with the release of the single, a spokesperson for Warner Records also issued a statement that after deducting the relevant fees, the profits obtained by Warner will also be donated to Diana's charity foundation.

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

You should know that during the week of recording and distribution, Ryan’s personal website and Warner Records hotlines were asking about the sound of this song. People who like Diana need a channel to remember the people they admire.

Although Diana is criticized for her private life, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for her. Not to mention the United Kingdom, only the United States, there are many people who don't like the British royal family and do not know Prince Charles, but Diana can win the favor of most people...

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

Ryan's popularity has far from dissipated with "Titanic", and his songs have not been released for several years. His huge number of fans have long been waiting for it.

"Farewell, British Rose" was launched quietly, but it was a hot sales.

In North America and all Commonwealth countries, people lined up in front of record stores a few days in advance. In just a few hours after the single was released, most record stores were sold out, and the calls urging goods to Warner Records' offices set up in various places were called one by one.

The sales are also very popular in the region where "Titanic" was released and the countries Diana has visited. This song easily overwhelmed the momentum of "My Heart Eternal".

With a rough statistics on the first day alone, the singles sold at least one million copies. If the supply of the entire line was not tight, this number would have even doubled.

This hot trend immediately stimulated Warner Records. They worked overtime to prepare stocks, even though they claimed to donate the relevant income. In fact, there are too many operational areas. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to further expand Warner Records' influence and market share.

There is no suspense. The first-day single sales record, the fastest record of breaking one million and the fastest record of breaking two million, collapsed in front of "Farewell, British Rose".

Even when the weekend of record sales came, major record chains in the English-speaking area had to hang out signs of "Farewell, British Roses" out of stock...

It’s not that Warner Records is not working hard. It’s that the preparation time is too short and the market reaction is too hot. Even if they are leaders in the record industry, they cannot afford such a huge supply in a short period of time.

Even so, when the single sales statistics for the new week were released, "Farewell, British Rose" broke the single week sales record held by "I Will Love You forever".

This song written by Ryan and performed by Whitney Houston once set a global single sales record of more than 630,000 singles per week. Even Ryan's own "The Cup of Life" and this year's "My Heart Eternal" could not shake this number. It was once considered by music critics to be a record that could not be surpassed in the short term.

"Farewell, British Rose" not only broke this record, but also sold several times more than it was.

Four hundred and fifty thousand pictures, let alone pop fans and so-called experts from the outside world, even Ryan himself was shocked after hearing about it.

This record, destined to be recorded by Guinness, may no one be able to break it within decades.

No one knows better than Ryan. After entering the new century, the Internet will become popular and the traditional recording industry shrinks rapidly. Such weekly single sales records are no less than a natural barrier for later pop singers.

However, this was far from over. In the following month, Warner Records was fully supplied, and the singles were riding the wind and waves like that big ship. In everyone's stunned, they sold 10 million in sales, bringing the highest single sales record in history into their arms.

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

Of course, while Ryan was happy, he still kept a clear mind. There was no need to say that the big ship was able to have such a sensation in "Farewell, British Rose" was caused by a specific historical and social environment. Diana's contribution to it was far more than her. After all, the rock star who disappeared inexplicably in this life also created a unique record in his previous life.

"It is undeniable that "Farewell, British Rose" can create records, with specific factors, but this song is excellent enough, and the sadness and nostalgia touches the softest part of the heart. This kind of music that can resonate and deep feelings is good music. Ryan Jenkins did it this time!"

Professional music magazines gave this song a very high evaluation.

"Although "My Lover" has achieved great commercial success, the quality of those saliva songs is really uncommon. This time, Ryan finally returned to the most essential music and wrote and sung with his heart and feelings. Perhaps the death of Diana's friend gave him endless sadness and inspiration to create such excellent songs in just a few days."

"No matter how the quality of the songs is, just look at the records Ryan set this year. After winning the first week of the movie and the global total box office record, he seemed to be unable to satisfy him. He once again easily took off the single week of pop music sales and total records. Maybe we should call him Mr. Record Breaking? I believe that no one can break these records, especially music records, even in twenty years."

Although he was unable to make money from it, he brought Ryan a huge reputation, which unexpectedly stimulated the box office of "Titanic".

Perhaps entertainment is a good way to avoid sadness. Since Diana's funeral, the box office of "Titanic" in North America and the Commonwealth region has risen slightly, while "Farewell, British Rose" set a single record, and the box office in North America has rebounded sharply this week.

The increase of nearly 80% made all experts stunned, causing the media to throw more praise on Ryan and "Titanic". Many theaters that were preparing to step down changed their minds and signed long-term contracts with the publisher.

However, everyone was surprised and understood that such an upward trend would definitely not last long. How many box office figures can the movie achieve in the end depends on the accumulation of time.

As time goes by, the sadness brought by Diana's unexpected death gradually faded. Whether it is a single or a movie, Wuluo returned to her original stable situation. The speculation about the cause of her death and the business behavior that made a fortune have just begun.

Many media focused on Ireland because another movie starring Ryan officially started filming. Will this epic masterpiece, which is said to be a commemoration of the victory of the anti-fascist war, achieve the same success as "Titanic"?

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

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

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

The battlefield of the small town converted from an abandoned air force base was filled with smoke, and the rumbling explosions were heard. Teams of elite German troops and dirty American troops were shuttled back and forth, and occasionally hiding behind abandoned buildings to "fire".

Ryan was carrying the M1 Garland rifle and constantly changed his hiding place as Tom Hanks shouted "shift".

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

As for Ryan's role, he is naturally the protagonist who is not the protagonist, that is, the rescued soldier Ryan.

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