At sixty-eight weeks, "Cleopatra" returned to the top ten on the Billboard singles chart; at fifty-four weeks, "Ophelia" entered the top fifty on the Billboard singles chart. So contrary to the market Regular results are being performed with great vigor. 2011 is indeed the year where newcomers emerge in large numbers and strange things happen one after another. Is it true that after the 21st century enters the second decade, the music market is really going to rise again?？
However, in this vigorous wave of discussions, "firm belief" is the most eye-catching focus.
It has topped the iTunes immediate download rankings for five consecutive days! Topping Spotify’s daily playlist for six consecutive days! Topping YouTube's single-day views list for seven consecutive days - a trailer edited by fans. Audiences have watched it as a music video, but it cannot be counted towards the streaming points of the single.！
There is no doubt that "Believe In" is the absolute focus. With the multiple blessings of "The Tonight Show", "Crazy Love" and "Don Quixote", "Believe In" has won the title of "Cleopa" "Terra" and "Ophelia" had never achieved results before, dominating the single sales market in the second week of October with overwhelming momentum..
In the Billboard singles chart for the third week of October, "Believe In" dropped to No. 4 on the list.！
Once again, there are no music videos, no radio on-demand volume, and even the streaming data is only iTunes and Spotify. Just relying on the sales of digital music sources and physical albums, "Faithful" once again copied "Cliopa" "Tella" miracle, and broke the latter's previous record of No. 6, achieving the best performance on the folk single chart since the new century.！
Such an outstanding performance is simply jaw-dropping.
Renly Hall, this "amateur" singer's every move is breaking the history of American music. His unconventional strategies have led to unreasonable results, truly bringing out the essence of independent music. vividly：
There are only two singles in the top 30 that have not been filmed in music videos, there are only three singles in the top 50 that have not been released on the list, and there are only three singles in the top 100 that have not been released. The only three singles to receive no promotion of any kind - all from the same album by the same artist.
Since the birth of Billboard, radio on-demand data has always dominated the ranking system. After entering the new century, streaming media data in the Internet era began to rise, but radio on-demand data is still the most important part of singer promotion..
Every week, the radio on-demand list is controlled by top companies. There are a total of thirty songs on the list, more than 80% of which are pre-arranged, and the remaining 20% It is the radio host’s personal preference, but at least half of it depends on the radio host’s personal relationship with major record companies and top singers..
Contemporary commodity society and market economy are all about interests.
It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for independent music to get ahead. Even if Justin Bieber becomes famous through YouTube, this is only a once-in-a-lifetime special case..
Now, there are three singles in the album "Don Quixote" that have broken such a law. Not to mention the follow-up trend of "Faithful", but what is certain is that "Cleopatra" "Has made history.
2011Billboard's singles chart for the third week of October 2019, Adele's "Like You", Maroon-5's "Move-Like-Jagger", The Fosters "Foster-The-People"'s "Pumped-Up-Kicks" occupy the top three spots respectively, while Renly Hall's "Believe In" holds the fourth spot..
It is worth mentioning that "Fashionable Shoes" is an independent electronic rock single. The Foster Family is also an independent band. This single was released in early 2010. The band went on various tours , various music festivals, one performance after another, slowly accumulated, and finally made a name, and was used in "The Vampire Diaries", "Warehouse 13" and some advertisements. Nearly thirteen months after its release, it finally entered the Billboard singles chart, and six months after entering the chart, it climbed to the third place on the list..
Compared with Renly, this is an inspirational story. The independent band successfully achieved a breakthrough through unremitting efforts; as for "Convinced", this is another story style..
“The popularity of "The Tonight Show" and "Crazy" fueled "Believe's" rocket; but in turn, "Believe's" popularity fueled "Crazy's" box office performance.
“The song "Faithful and Undoubted" always expresses a kind of hesitation and confusion. The seeds of self-doubt and mutual doubt begin to sprout and grow. The helplessness, the helplessness, the sadness, the bitterness, like a black hole, slowly... Slowly swallowing up all the light of hope. But the tenacity and strength hidden behind the melody beat the heart time and time again, and was tempered into steel. After the despair of weeping blood, vast courage burst out, and he rose again..
That meager and sparse light has become the decisive factor for "undoubted belief" to create great achievements, and this has achieved a height that "Cleopatra" could not reach; at the same time, it also made people have "crazy love" ” Produce more curiosity – what kind of movie is this? What kind of story is told？
In the long history of Hollywood, it is not uncommon for movies to stimulate the sales of soundtracks. The album of the same name created by Prince for the movie "Pueple-Rain" not only made him a superstar in one fell swoop, but also the album It has also entered the hall of classics. Thirty years later, it is still an unsurpassed classic..
Not to mention that the soundtracks of movies such as "The Lion King", "Chicago", "The Breakout", "Suicide Squad", "Guardians of the Galaxy", etc. have all successfully topped the Billboard album chart, and not only for a week. Even Some soundtracks are more popular than the movies themselves.
But what about the other way around? Interested in movies because of the soundtrack? There are very few cases like this.
Ultimately, music is produced along with the plot. Excellent movie soundtracks are based on the plot and add color to the movie. When watching the movie, the introduction of the plot and the rendering of the soundtrack make it easier for people to resonate, but After stripping off the plot and becoming independent chapters, many soundtracks are not that outstanding. After all, the soundtrack is only part of the elements in the movie, not the real core..
Renly Hall is a special case. He is an actor, a pure actor. "Believe In" is a track tailor-made after inspiration burst out during the performance. The lyrics and melody are closely related to the movie. Listen to "Believe In" alone. The melody of "No doubt" makes people can't help but construct the outline of the story in their minds, generating countless derivative associations..
As music critics said, "Don Quixote" is not only an album, but also a book, a movie, and a life. The two discs tell the ups and downs of the story at a leisurely pace. Every melody, every lyric, and every interpretation has a meaning. It is not created for the sake of creation. The story behind it is the soul fragment of the entire album. This is why "Don Quixote" is so valuable. root cause.
Now, "Believe In" proves this. Naturally, people are more interested in "Love Crazy".
In the third week of October, Focus Features once again made a surprising move. "Crazy Love" expanded its screenings for the third consecutive week, although it only increased from 2,337 theaters to 2,564 theaters. time, the expansion was 227, which can only be regarded as a small increase; but for an independent film, especially for a special case like "Crazy Love", it is incredible and shocking. We can also see the strong confidence of Focus Pictures.
Why? Where does confidence come from? "The Tonight Show"? Of course not, it’s about theater ratings. After two weeks of screening and accumulating enough audiences, “Crazy Love” received an “A-” rating.！
This result can be said to be a passing score for commercial films, but it can be said to be an outstanding result for art films. This also means that people can look forward to "Crazy Love" creating "Juno" ", "Little Miss Sunshine"-like box office results. As a reference, "Juno" achieved a box office performance of 143 million US dollars in North America, while "Little Miss Sunshine" had a box office performance of 5,900 US dollars in North America. Ten thousand.
This is the confidence of Focus Features.
“After the "Tonight Show" aired, in addition to being "convinced", the tidbits that Jay Leno spent a lot of time spying on also triggered countless heated discussions on the Internet.！
Although the behind-the-scenes always make people curious, the interesting behind-the-scenes do not represent the quality of the finished film, and the wonderful behind-the-scenes' ability to boost the box office is minimal. However, this time, the "Crazy in Love" behind-the-scenes is more than just a movie. It’s just a sideshow, but it’s also a direct testament to the wonderful performances of the two actors..
After learning what was written in the notebook, and watching the clips of the movie emotionally, the intoxicating sparks between the two actors Renly and Felicity became more vivid and beautiful..
Experts know the ropes, while laymen watch the fun. "Excellent acting skills", the audience has only a partial understanding of this sentence. They only know that such a performance is indeed good, but they cannot explain a reason why, let alone distinguish the level of the performance. and high and low. But this time, they clearly saw the inner strength of the performance, especially Renly——
The light and intoxication of those deep eyes vividly displayed the grace and touchingness of falling in love, and were finally reflected in the two invisible lines of words on the notebook. At that moment, the audience sincerely wanted to believe: This This is the true face of love, from heartbeat to budding to addiction and finally falling.，
The tension, layers, connotation and power of the performance were clearly presented to the audience. Now, they finally know why film critics have been praising Renly, why Sundance is willing to award the Special Award to Renly, and why Renly was able to rise rapidly in just two years！
As a result, the reputation of "Crazy Love" exploded, and at the same time, Renly's reputation also exploded. Could this be a sign of the second Oscar nomination?？
