Chapter 277: Cultural Differences
After the interview, Ye Tian held a banquet at the Diaoyutai Hotel in Yanjing to welcome Robin and his party, after all, Robin is not just a reporter who came across the ocean to interview him, he is now the general person in charge of the New York Times docking with him, and his support is indispensable for publicity and promotion in the United States in the future, so most of the people who came tonight are more important figures in Allure, such as Lu Rongchu, Cao Yang, Liu Shuying and other executives should be present.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation, and I believe that Allure Media and the New York Times will achieve a win-win situation."
"Haha, okay, okay, I know that you have a saying in China, there are friends from afar, we are happy, pour, we will be friends in the future, rest assured, we will help you handle all economic matters in the United States"
"Come, let's toast Robin again"
......
By the end of the party, Robin was already drunk and was being helped back to his room by two assistants.
"I really didn't expect that before we took the initiative to go abroad, the Americans took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate," Cao Yang, who was sitting on the chair, threw a peanut into his mouth and said with a smile
"Chance may be so peculiar, who would have thought that Mr. Ye would be able to become famous in the United States with a song? This is something that many singers can't do in their lifetime," Lu Rongchu said with some emotion
Sitting around the dinner table, everyone in Allure Entertainment nodded with some feelings, this news is really too sudden for them, before they have made a clue about domestic affairs, suddenly an American reporter came, and he is also a senior editor of the New York Times, not only interviewed Mr. Ye, but also signed a cooperation agreement with Allure, they have just started their business for half a year and are going abroad?
"Speaking of which, we haven't heard Mr. Ye's song yet, what's the name?" Ling Ling asked with a frown
"How about AS long as you love me, the title of the song is very tasteful, and the translated words are as long as you love me, haha, I didn't expect Lao Mei to eat this set" CAO YANG LAUGHED AND REPLIED, THERE WAS STILL A LITTLE PRIDE IN HIS TONE, NOW CAO YANG IS INDEED THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE ALLURE ENTERTAINMENT, AFTER ALL, THIS SONG WAS BORN FROM HIS HANDS, AND IT WAS ALSO PUBLISHED BY HIM ON YOUTUBE, IT CAN BE SAID THAT NOW IN THE WHOLE OF HUAGUO EXCEPT FOR YE TILT, HE IS THE MOST FAMILIAR WITH AND KNOWS THIS SONG, IN FACT, TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHEN HE RECORDED AND POLISHED THIS SONG FOR YE TILT, HE DIDN'T THINK THAT THIS SONG WOULD ACHIEVE MUCH IMPACT AND EFFECT AT ALL, BECAUSE THE STYLE AND SINGING METHOD OF THAT SONG WERE NEVER HEARD BY HIM, AND IN HIS EXPERIENCE, THAT SONG WOULD NOT MAKE ANY WAVES IN HUAGUO AT ALLAt that time, he also told Ye Tian his opinion, but he didn't expect Ye Tian to tell him that this song was not released in China, and he planned to use this song to explore the European and American markets first.
He still clearly remembers what Ye Tian said to him that day, Ye Tian said, he knows that the current music market in China is not suitable for the style of this kind of work at all, and even English songs have not yet been popularized in China, let alone the RAP and electronic music style, if he releases this song in China first, not only will it not be loved by fans, but it will be criticized as deviant, so he plans to put it in the American market, at that time in the recording studio to listen to Ye Tian explain, Cao Yang did not say anything more, although he has worked in the recording industry for more than ten years, but he has no understanding of the music market in Europe and the United States, what RAP, electronic music is even more ignorant, so he agreed with Ye Tian's idea to throw an English song to test the water in the United States, and there will be no loss anyway.
After the recording was completed, he also listened to this song several times, and he originally listened to very few English songs, listening to AS long as you love me Later, Ye Tian instructed him to put this song into the European and American markets, and he thought that Ye Tian would allocate some publicity funds to him, but he didn't expect Ye Tian to tell him that the company had no publicity funds and promotion plans for this song, and Cao Yang, who had little confidence in this song, was even more interested in this song AS long as you love when he heard this sentence I lost all confidence and invested 0 to let myself go to the European and American markets to put a song?
Rao is Cao Yang is experienced and can't help but be a little depressed, depressed Cao Yang went home after work, and finally his wife gave him an idea, she said, "Look at Mr. Ye's attitude, I'm afraid it's just thinking about singing an English song to have fun, I don't really want to make money from this song, since the bosses are so casual, what are you afraid of? I THINK THERE'S NOT A SOFTWARE CALLED YOUTUBE IN THE UNITED STATES, THEY AMERICANS ARE LISTENING TO SONGS AND WATCHING VIDEOS ON IT, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON IT, AND THEN PUT THAT SONG WHAT LOVE." ME's song can be passed on, so that it meets the 0 cost that Mr. Ye said, and meets his requirements for launching in the European and American markets, killing two birds with one stone."
BEING TOLD BY HIS WIFE, CAO YANGMAO IN THE DEPRESSION SUDDENLY OPENED, HE IMMEDIATELY BAIDU THIS THING CALLED YOUTUBE, IT TURNED OUT THAT THIS IS A MUSIC AND VIDEO SHARING WEBSITE, THE AUDIENCE AND INFLUENCE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE COMPARABLE TO TENCENT'S QQ, BUT HE TINKERED ALL NIGHT AND DIDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THIS YOUTUBE SHOULD BE CREATED AND HOW TO UPLOAD SONGS, NO WAY, HE CAN ONLY GO TO THE PLACE WHERE THE NETWORK GODS GATHER- Internet café, let the owner of the Internet café help him download YouTube and create an account, the owner of the Internet café asked him what name he wanted, he said a word, and then logically uploaded the song AS long as you love me, after completing this task, Cao Yang turned his head and forgot about it, if it wasn't for the New York Times reporter who took the initiative to come to the door this time, he didn't remember that he had ever recorded and published this song.
AFTER LEARNING EVERYTHING FROM ROBIN'S MOUTH, CAO YANG IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE INTERNET CAFÉ AND ASKED THE BOSS TO HELP HIM DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL YOUTUBE LIKE LAST TIME, BUT AFTER THE INSTALLATION, HE ENCOUNTERED AN EVEN MORE EMBARRASSING THING, THAT IS, HE FORGOT THE LOGIN PASSWORD! AFTER TRYING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, HE FINALLY GOT THE CORRECT PASSWORD TOGETHER, AS SOON AS HE LOGGED IN TO THE ACCOUNT, CAO YANG WAS DIRECTLY STUPID, THE COUNTLESS MESSAGES AND FRIEND APPLICATIONS MADE HIM FEEL THAT THE PHONE BECAME HOT FOR A WHILE, ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOUTUBE, BUT THE ENGLISH WAS STILL SO-SO, HE READ THE MESSAGE, AND ROUGHLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT MEANT, AND THEN HE HURRIED BACK TO THE COMPANY AND HANDED OVER THE YOUTUBE ACCOUNT HE CREATED AT RANDOM TO THE PERFORMING ARTS AGENCY DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT NOW THIS ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER A SIMPLE PERSONAL ACCOUNT, WHICH WILL BE RELATED TO YE TILT AND THE WAY OF ALLURE MEDIA TO GO ABROAD。
After knowing the name of the song, Ling Ling hurriedly continued: "Then let's listen to it, don't talk about other people, even we, the employees of Allure, haven't heard this song yet."
Ye Qian nodded to Lu Rongchu, Lu Rongchu clearly used the mobile phone player to come to the song, as for why it was handed over to Lu Rongchu instead of Cao Yang, it is naturally a different planning of responsibilities, in Allure Entertainment, any music work is responsible for the music production department before it is published, but once it is publicly announced, the ownership of the music work will be fully handed over to the performing arts agency department.
“As long as you love me”
When the first sentence was played out of the mobile phone, Liu Shuying, Ye Shan and others were all dazzled, if they didn't know that this song was sung by Ye Tian, they couldn't believe that this was Ye Tian's work, it was really because the style of this first sentence and Ye Tian's previous style could be described as very different, and even if they listened to it from the perspective of outsiders, they could hear that this song was in a different way in production, and the end note deliberately had a little vibrato and seemed to add a melody similar to electronic music, so that the listeners couldn't help but stand in horror when they heard this first sentence。
“As long as you love me”
“As long as you love me”
“We're under pressure”
“seven billion people in the world trying to fit in”
“Keep it together”
“smile on your face even though your heart is frowning”
“But hey now, you know girl, we both know it’s a cruel world”
“But I will take my chances”
“As long as you love me, we could be starving”
“We could be homeless, we could be broke”
“As long as you love me I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold”
“As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me”
“As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me”
.......
If the previous melody and rhythm only surprised them, then this continuous and fast LOVE simply made them feel deeply amazed and shocked, and this kind of singing and music style is simply to break all the shackles of Chinese pop music.
.......
“As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me”
“As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me”
It is naturally difficult to understand the feelings conveyed by Ye Tilt's song if he is not good at English, but Liu Shuying, Ye Shan and other women have all graduated from one or more universities, and their English skills are needless to say, they can not only hear the melody and style that they have never heard before, but also the desperate obstruction for love in Ye Tilt's singing. A hard-blooded man who swears to be with the person he loves, in the lyrics, the male protagonist has always emphasized that he has the ability to bring happiness to the girl, and flying in the sky with her not only sings the love concept of many people, but also sings the deep affection of the admirer.
“I don't make if this make sense”
“But you're my hallelujah”
“Give me a time and place, I'll rendezvous”
“I'll fly it to it, I'll beat you there”
“Girl you know I got you”
“Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without you”
“No we on top of the world”
....... Big Sean
Since the moment the music was played, Ye Tian had actually been observing everyone's expressions, and sure enough, when the RAP part of the song sounded, the faces of all the women were a little surprised and puzzled, as if to say why they wanted to join such a rap in, it was just... It's just a serious pull down the level of this song.
Ye Tian looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that whether it is 09 or 19 years, most Chinese people still find it difficult to appreciate or even accept the musical expression of RAP."
In the previous life, as long as you love me this song is not to mention the popularity of the song, almost 90% of Chinese people are through this song to know Justin Bieber, the musical genius, this song was included in his third solo album "Believe", "Believe" in the first week of release in the United States with 374,000 copies of the record, and airborne to the top of the US Billboard 200 album chart, became the first week of the US record market in 2012. At the same time, this sales is also Bieber's record for record sales in the first week.
YE TILT CHOSE TO USE THIS SONG AS THE FIRST WORK TO TEST THE AMERICAN MUSIC MARKET, NATURALLY BECAUSE OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THIS SONG IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT THE WORK BORN 4 YEARS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE ACTUALLY ACHIEVED MORE BRILLIANT RESULTS IN THE AMERICAN MARKET THAN IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, AT LEAST IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF VIEWS ON YOUTUBE, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS SONG WAS POPULAR BEFORE HIS REBIRTH, THERE WAS ALWAYS A PLACE THAT WAS CRITICIZED AFTER IT WAS TRANSMITTED TO HUAGUO, THAT IS, THE RAP PART OF THE SONG, YE TILT DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY MUSIC SOFTWARE COMMENT AREAS HAD SEEN CRITICISM OF THE RAP PART IN IT, I think that adding RAP makes this song difficult to describe with perfection, for such a situation, Ye Tilt can only be explained by cultural differences, the RAP part that is criticized in China is in the United States but is sought after by fans, in the eyes of Americans, officially because of the creative addition of RAP elements, this song can be called perfect.
Before deciding to record this song, Ye Tilt also considered whether to delete the RAP part, but in the end he decided to keep this masterpiece of the music genius Bieber in his previous life, not only for the respect for the original author, but also for the respect for American culture, although the RAP in this may not be conducive to the spread of this song in China, but Ye Tilt still did it, and now the results also prove that his decision is correct, if he really deleted the RAP part for the Chinese market, then this song will not be able to set off such a big wave in the United States today。
