Chapter Ninety-Five Autograph Session Schedule

  In order to grab a share of the record market and make Hollywood Records truly rise, Walt Disney formulated a massive publicity plan, investing heavily in advertising on radio, newspapers, magazines, and even pulling out its own Disney TV station, producing several special programs in the evening slot, starting to play the behind-the-scenes footage of making this album.

  Even under Michael Eisner's personal intervention, the media dragged out the feud between Ryan Jenkins and Tom Cruise again, not to mention that this kind of star feud is always in style and has an unexpectedly good effect.

  "We should thank Mr. Tom Cruise, perhaps it was his intimidating attitude that forced Ryan Jenkins to burst out with brilliant musical talent, using songs to counterattack him, and thus brought us this excellent personal album."

  This is a report from California Independent Newspaper, although everyone knows that this is to attract attention, it looks particularly refreshing.

  No one would know what Tom Cruise thought as he returned to Los Angeles from the Caribbean.

  Now that Ryan has signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records, he will naturally fulfill his obligations and cooperate fully with the company's promotional plans. Since he is not yet sixteen years old, the recording contract can only be signed one by one, and the biggest trouble in promotion does not come from the media and fans, but from the Children's Association.

  As one of the most famous minors in America, Ryan is naturally a focus for the children's association, from the work schedule Disney has arranged for him to his academic progress, all are things they check on.

  This can be considered a happy trouble, after all, having such an association will occasionally cast attention, and before he comes of age, it will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

  Hollywood Records' promotional plan was to start in New York and end in Los Angeles, going from east to west through carefully selected major cities, using Ryan's strong personal appeal and massive advertising to boost record sales.

  In fact, John Burns and Reid Mallett had an idea that no one else knew about: to make as many of Ryan's book fans and movie fans also become his music fans. The number didn't have to be too large, just half would do, and the sales volume would reach a terrifying figure.

  After Boston and Philadelphia, Ryan's group arrived in Nashville, the music capital of the United States. The signing venue, Tennessee Music Center, was packed with nearly 10,000 people.

  Since we have arrived at the holy land of folk music, the songs performed naturally include those with a country style.

  "Hello, Nashville and Tennessee friends! I didn't expect so many people to come today. Your enthusiasm is suffocating me, I'm about to lose my voice. In that case, let's communicate through music!"

  Ryan still wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, paired with jeans and board shoes, the whole person's temperament looked exceptionally approachable. "Climb, let's climb to the highest peak of life together!"

  After he finished speaking, he strummed the wooden guitar in his hand, and a heavy yet lively tune started playing.

  "Life is like climbing, the road ahead is always full of obstacles, but those who never give up run forward with their heads held high until they reach the highest and most beautiful place, the peak of life. Here there are strong winds, here there are rugged rocks, here there is cold air, and here there is also the joy of victory after overcoming challenges... Life is climbing, as long as you work hard, you will always succeed..."

  "Wow!"

  The moment the song fell, the whole audience erupted in a near-frantic applause and cheers. To them, this inspirational song was just like what those music critics had evaluated - the best summary of Ryan Jenkins' twelve years.

  What's more, this song is so melodious and so inspiring!

  "Ryan! Ryan!"

  The shouting from below grew more and more frenzied, with Ryan's posters being held high above their heads, forming a sea.

  After the concert, it was natural to sign autographs, just like in the past. Ryan still maintained his interactive signature style, and the benefits of doing so were obvious. After going through three cities, his reputation for being kind, gentle, and down-to-earth had already spread among fans.

  Some fans even lined up two days in advance just to get the first signature in their city.

  Of course, the disadvantages of doing so are also very obvious, that is, the fans' guts are getting bigger and bigger, similar to the frequent occurrence of female fans sneaking up, making it impossible to guard against.

  Ryan once complained about Natalie on the phone, and unexpectedly provoked the girl's ridicule.

  "Ryan Jenkins, you're just showing off, okay, you won't have any trouble finding a girlfriend from now on."

  Finding a fan as a girlfriend? Unless I'm crazy! Ryan didn't seem to care.

  He will inevitably spend his remaining vacation days on the road, sometimes changing two or three cities in a week. Fortunately, he is physically strong and has more energy than ordinary people, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

  Hollywood Records is only a mid-to-low-tier music company, but it has the backing of Disney, and as its sole flagship artist, Ryan enjoys many special privileges, such as the company allocating most of its resources to him alone, which is unimaginable in major record companies.

  Of course, all of this is based on the company seeing his great musical talent and strong influence among young people, which can bring tangible benefits.

  Just one week later, the album "Ryan Jenkins" made Disney and Hollywood Records smile.

  After the first week, the album sold over 643,500 copies, making other new and established singers weep in shame.

  Alright! Nobody would think Ryan Jenkins is a newcomer, even if this is his first album in life.

  "What? The first week didn't even break 10 million?" Upon hearing this news, Ryan's eyes widened in shock, leaving Burns stunned.

  He really wanted to tell him, it's 640 million! Not 64 thousand! Breaking 1 million in the first week? What are you thinking, do you think you're Michael Jackson now?

  It's no wonder Ryan, in his previous life, had contact with the European and American music scene was already a new century, at that time, the first week of a famous singer breaking 100 was not uncommon.

  However, seeing Burns' triumphant expression, Ryan understood that this score was actually quite good.

  With the release of the album, the record company sent another single to chart, but it was not Ryan's plagiarized song, but the original "Climb".

  When the new Billboard came out, this song didn't push Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" down from the top spot, but it did push R. Kelly's other song "I Believe I Fly" off of second place and firmly took over the silver medal position.

  Ryan's schedule is still ongoing, his vacation time is limited, once school starts, the children's association will come over to make a fuss. Moreover, Spielberg called from Poland to inform him that he should go to Krakow by the end of February, and the film may officially start shooting in March.

  Ryan couldn't help but admire him, for this film, Spielberg not only drove himself crazy, but also nearly drove his team crazy, two months of pre-production time, how tense it was for a film like this!

  Of course, he planned for nearly ten years and definitely did a lot of preliminary work. Ryan also heard that since last December, some people in his team actually went to Poland. Otherwise, at such a fast speed, it can only be said that he asked God for help.

  Like a fleeting glance, Rayne went through one city after another. After the second week, album sales not only didn't decrease but also rose again due to good word of mouth, with over 711,300 copies sold.

  Two weeks later, the album sold over 1 million copies, in a broad sense, Ryan can also be considered a platinum singer, but this number still needs to be certified by the American Recording Association.

  Another huge surprise came from the Billboard, after occupying the top spot for more than ten weeks, "I Will Always Love You" finally gave up the championship throne and saw another song by the same author, "Climb", occupy the first place.

  "Climbing, whether it's the melody or lyrics, is full of the flavor of striving to persevere in adversity and striving upwards, it's so inspiring, this is the best motivational song since entering the 90s, without exception!"

  Billboard - Fionn Regan

  Throughout the album, Ryan tried several music styles, whether it's pop, country or R&B, he was very skilled and proficient, although due to his age and vocal cord issues, there were some minor flaws in his singing, but it was already quite impressive. Moreover, all the songs on the album were done by himself, which showed off his exceptional musical talent. This is a rare album that brought great surprises, in short, you won't regret spending money on it!

  Rolling Stone

  "We don't want to discuss how great this album is, anyone who has listened to it knows that the songs are incredibly catchy. What we want to say is that 'Climb' is a song that is a perfect reflection of Ryan Jenkins' life - isn't he the embodiment of the American Dream? As long as you persist, you will succeed!"

  Los Angeles Times Mike Taylor

  Most of the media have a positive attitude towards the album. After all, except for the weird "He", other songs, even those written by Ryan himself, each have their own characteristics, especially with strong catchiness.

  At the same time, some people also expressed their concerns.

  "Ryan's talent in art is unquestionable, but human energy is limited after all. After being involved in writing, scriptwriting and film acting, Ryan has also dabbled in popular music, which we worry will disperse his energy. After all, Hollywood has only produced one Barbra Streisand, and excessive involvement in too many artistic fields may not be beneficial to his growth."

  "Also, don't forget that Ryan is a student. If this continues, we suspect his grades will plummet!"

  Ryan threw it aside after reading the report on the plane, they should take care of their own children first!
