Chapter 1012: Trapped
The problem is that Scott Records is one of the largest in North America, and Jason is not one of those unknown 18th-tier singers, so they don't need to use this kind of active self-loss to hype themselves up just to accumulate popularity!
On the contrary, this self-destructive hype will seriously affect the sales of Jason's new single, and his losses will be at least tens of millions of dollars, if not more than - because Scott has already invested millions of dollars in advertising on the promotion of the song, and everyone is ready to start operating just three days before the official release of the song. And Scott has already paid part of the funds for the MV - ask the director and crew, if you don't give the money first, people will definitely not work.
Now, there's a good chance it's all gone down the drain!
If it weren't for the fact that netizens knew the goods and the comments were all good, Jason might not be able to suppress his anger at all, and he would have overturned the roof of the recording studio!
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and the ringing of the phone made him even more angry, "f@#%ÂĽk, who f#ÂĽ%@k call me now......" As a result, seeing Liu Yan's caller ID, he had to press the remaining swear words into his throat, and actually squeezed out a smile and said, "Man, are you okay?"
Amanda and the others were amazed by the speed at which their boss changed face and how much he valued Liu.
Liu Yan, who was all about tearing up with Richard early in the morning, didn't know about the song leak, and she asked Jason, "Good morning, Mr. Harmer, are you in the recording studio now?
"No, no, I don't have to work for a while. â
Liu Yan: "????"
She thought Jason was referring to her untimely injury, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delaying your work." â
"It really has nothing to do with you," Jason said, unable to contain his anger and gritting his teeth, "Damn Cohen Bell!"
Liu Yan finally heard that something was wrong, "What happened to you?"
"Our new song, maybe he sold it, released it on the Internet in advance," the music file has been spread everywhere, Jason only glanced at it a few times, and did not carefully find the original source, he naturally deduced that the uploader of the song is the biggest beneficiary of the song after it was leaked, it may be a pirate, or it may be their rival company.
Liu Yan was taken aback,
Oh my God, they're not done yet! What's wrong with Jason......
This is simply to add insult to injury! Liu Yan has followed Xue Yunfei and them to release several singles, and she can be considered to have a general understanding of the profit model of modern music. Whether it is an album or a single, it is divided into two sales channels: offline records and digital records.
Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and the sales of most singers' offline records are relatively bleak, except for top singers like Jason, whose record CDs are collectibles and are treasured by fans. However, the majority is still digital records, that is, electronic versions of songs released on the Internet, and listeners have to pay to listen to them through music software if they want to listen to them.
Liu Yan herself relied on several digital records such as "Listen, the Sound of the Wind" and "Flying Birds", earning millions of yuan, she is not a professional singer, holding the title of Internet celebrity, her fame at that time was not high enough, and the audience was only Chinese mainland netizens, and Jason's songs were released to the world, with a gap between billions and billions of people.
Therefore, the copyright of digital recordings is particularly important. The documents were leaked to the Internet, except for die-hard fans, who would beg for money to buy genuine music in the future? After all, most people listen to songs just to listen to the fun, so why not take advantage of them without spending money?
Liu Yan didn't even have to think about it to know that this was not an ordinary loss!
"Why would he do that?"
"I don't know either!" Jason genuinely fucks up, he's been working with Cohen for almost a decade, and he thinks they're good friends, and while they do have different opinions in some ways, that doesn't stop them from sharing a musical pursuit. Scott is no slouch for Cohen, the highest-paid music producer in the company.
Jason found it hard to believe that he had betrayed them.
Not just Jason, but the entire studio couldn't believe that Cohen had something to do with the leak, the problem was that his phone couldn't get through and people weren't coming to work.
"What if he changes his number?" one employee whispered.
"If you change your number, you'll be like this, and you won't tell anyone, and people will disappear out of thin air? It's a serious working day!" Amanda said resentfully, Cohen had been acting very unusually during this time, and she concluded that Cohen had betrayed them all, and all their hard work was ruined. Their winnings are gone!
"You calm down first, we don't have any evidence, and it is possible that someone else leaked it. â
"Listen carefully, the music files on the Internet should be mastered, the balance is not mediated, the frequency is not corrected, the sound is not beautified enough, this is not the final demo, I think the leakage problem is probably in the middle and late processing of the song - the mix," an employee gave a very professional analysis, their ears are sharper than netizens, and the slightest problem can be heard.
His words reminded Amanda of last weekend night, when he was doing the mixing, all the work was done, everyone was gone, Cohen was alone in the studio for half an hour, what the hell was he doing?!
Another employee said, "If it's a master, many people have done it, except for Cohen, J, Scott, Simon (MV director), ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Jason, who was still talking on the phone, and his voice became a little quieter, "The princess of the Han Dynasty and her friends should also have it." â
His words aroused Amanda's great disgust, "You suspect Liu Yan, it is better to directly say that Jason himself posted the song on the Internet!"
"That's right, Liu Yan doesn't do her any good doing this kind of thing, besides, she was injured and hospitalized, and her friend was arrested at the police station, she still has the heart to do this?"
"And what was Cohen's motive?"
A question that quiets everyone down.
At the same time, Jason also ended the call with Liu Yan, to be precise, Liu Yan hung up the phone in a hurry, at this moment, how did she open her mouth and let Jason help him get out of the way? It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight! She had to comfort Jason in turn to calm down.
Jason couldn't be calmer! He first ordered Amanda to call the police, and then asked his assistant to contact the major websites immediately to delete the pirated music files, and he went to Cohen's house to find him in person.
He had just walked to the gate when he met Scott, Scott's face was also ugly, and he said to Jason, "You don't have to look for it, I just came from Cohen's house, his door is locked, there is no one in the house, he has already run away!"
