Compared to the mediocre Los Angeles premiere, the London premiere was ahead in all aspects from scale to format to highlights. Anyone with a discerning eye can feel that Universal Pictures attaches great importance to the London premiere. This is considered the end of the Oscars. Afterwards, Universal Pictures sent a positive signal of goodwill to Renly with practical actions..
Subsequent developments also proved Universal Pictures’ wisdom, and Ron Meyer made a right choice..
“The topic "Goodbye Brian, hello Paul" has successfully dominated the screens of major social network platforms. Paul's powerful effect can be felt inside and outside..

This is an unprecedented first time in Paul's career as an actor.
Along with this, the movie-watching craze for "Fast and Furious 7" also spread in a ripple-like manner, and its powerful influence detonated the market in one fell swoop..
Such a frenzy is a unique sight in the North American film market during the spring season. However, how much box office such a ferocious publicity campaign can generate is currently unknown. All that can be said at the moment is that Universal Pictures is promoting the film. Finally, there was a rare moment of toughness; however, before the film was officially released to compete in the box office market, the response from the music market was the first to reward Universal Pictures' courage and determination.——
“See-You-Again）！”
This song, written and arranged by Renly, with Wiz Khalifa participating in the lyrics and co-singing, after its live performance at the London premiere, easily dominated the top of the topic lists on major social networks, and even It was even more popular than "Goodbye Brian, Hello Paul".
As the host said, everyone is waiting for Renly's return album. Although Renly continues to climb the peak in his career as an actor, and has already initially entered the palace level, any praise seems to be inferior; As a singer, Renly's appeal has never faded..

The precipitation and baptism of time can remove the dross and leave the essence. Those excellent works will gradually be polished to sparkle with the passage of time, and eventually become classics..
Unfortunately, Renly has always insisted that his essential job is to be an actor, and his music career is even a little careless. If he hadn't released a "Drunken Country Ballad" movie soundtrack to alleviate the fans' desire and expectations, I'm afraid life would be over. More prolonged suffering.
Then, "The Time of Reunion" came on the scene.
As the theme song of "Fast and Furious 7", as Paul's farewell to Brian, as Paul's reflection on escaping death... and as "a little thought" before Renly's new album debuts, everything is happening. Let this song receive thousands of attention.

"Gentleman" does not require any words to make people feel the unparalleled appeal of the name "Renly Hall", even if it is just a video..
Later, the number of clicks on the live performance video soared, from 100 million to 500 million to 1 billion. The strong upward momentum was simply unstoppable..
A week later, Universal officially released the music video ahead of the general release of "Fast & Furious 7".
Renly Hall and Wiz Khalifa both appeared in the video to perform the song; at the same time, it also edited scenes from Paul Walker's past and present lives in the entire series of movies, and finally ended with Brian and Thomas. Ledo drove two sports cars side by side. After smiling at each other, they took two different forked roads and ran into the distance. This officially brought a perfect end to Brian O'Connor's journey..
“For-Paul - Goodbye Brian, Hello Paul,” the music video concludes with these words, ending the song..
Undoubtedly, this is the most perfect farewell. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time Renly has ever shot a music video. Even for his own album "Don Quixote", Renly has never released any A music video does not even have the action of being sent to a chart; this time, Renly rarely shows courage for Paul, which makes the music video even more precious..

In sixty-four hours, the YouTube views of "Reunion" easily exceeded the threshold of 100 million, breaking the original record in a devastating manner, and once again assigned another record to Renly's name, and this was just " Recording the beginning of "Harvester".
The fastest to break through 500 million, the fastest to break through 1 billion, the fastest to break through 2 billion... etc., etc., "Reunion" has shown unparalleled power and has long been at the top of the click-through rate rankings on the official YouTube website. The number one position remained untouchable for six months..
It was only after it exceeded 2 billion that it gradually began to decline, but the magical journey of music videos was still not over. In February 2017, "Reunion" had 2.894 billion views. It officially surpassed Psy's "Gangnam Style" and became the most played video on YouTube. After that, every click on "Reunion" became a step in history, pushing the wheel of the times forward..
The first video with more than 3 billion views globally.
The first video with more than 4 billion views worldwide.
If we look at the entire earth's population of 6 billion, "Reunion" is likely to become a video that everyone in the world has "seen". This powerful and sturdy record pull is simply appalling, even if Universal Pictures itself did not expect that the virus would have such a far-reaching impact.
Easily surpassing the viral pattern of the "Frozen" theme song the year before last, it has become a song that countless Internet celebrities around the world are rushing to cover..
The number of views on YouTube is just one aspect of the powerful influence of "Reunion". In fact, the single from the movie soundtrack also leads the way in sales..
After the single was officially released, "Reunion" unsurprisingly topped the Billboard singles chart, and remained unstoppably at the top for sixteen weeks, tying Mariah Carey's classic single "One-Sweet-Day" holds Billboard record for most consecutive weeks at No. 1！

The staying power surpassed the North American box office record of the series held by "Fast and Furious 5" and ended with a score of US$350 million..
The outstanding performance has become the biggest box office bomb in the spring season. Even the summer season can feel the impact of this heat wave..
At the same time, the film also performed exceptionally well at the global box office——
The Chinese market topped the list of the world's highest box office regions with US$390 million, even surpassing the North American base camp, and was a box office bomb; in addition, markets such as the United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany, Russia, Brazil and Australia also delivered A perfect answer, and the box office data is particularly gratifying.
In the end, "Fast and Furious 7" swept US$1.16 billion in overseas markets. This is also the fourth film in film history to have an overseas box office of more than 1 billion.
