Chapter 898: Accompaniment Cooperation
The throbbing is throbbing, but Liu Yan still feels as if something is missing after listening to the whole song.
Peter thought the song was very good, and it suited his taste, and gave him a warm applause, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy your new song first, oh how lucky." ”
Jason smiled and asked him, "What do you think of this song?"
"I'm not very good at music. ”
"It's okay, I want to hear your most intuitive feelings. ”
Peter thought about it for a while, and after carefully recalling it, he said, "I think the tune is more soothing, not as noisy as some music now, I personally have always liked the sound of this little harmonica, when the prelude sounded, I inexplicably thought of some of my childhood, probably because at that time, every afternoon, when the sun was setting, there were always entertainers playing the harmonica in the tavern near my house, playing English pop songs from forty or fifty years ago, or some Celtic ballads, you young people don't like to listen to them now." At that time, the drinkers sat outside on wooden chairs or stood with their glasses in their hands, and the feeling was very nostalgic. ”
Peter's comments weren't professional, he didn't know anything about blues and blues, he didn't know anything about pop music genres, but it made Jason feel inspired by his elders, and there was nothing that made him happier than the songs he wrote were appreciated.
Jason noticed Liu's expression, she seemed to be thinking about something, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you think this piece needs to be improved?"
Liu Yan didn't dare to say that she did sing a few pop songs, but the songs were all written by others, Xue Yunfei They just taught her how to sing and taught her some knowledge of pop music, how dare she point fingers in front of the godfather of American pop music?
Jason saw her concerns and smiled, "My song is not perfect, it is only a half-finished product, so I just simply recorded it, and did not put it in the recording studio, a single wants to be successfully released, and has gained countless fans who love it, at least ten times of revision, meticulous crafting, like oil painting, sculpture, it is also an art." ”
In his field of expertise, Jason is not the kind of person who is rigid and conceited, thinking that he is the best and everyone else is garbage. On the contrary, he often humbly asks different musicians some questions about music and discusses his own music with others, so the genre of his songs has been changing for 15 years, and each one is to innovate and not let fans get bored.
Since Jason said this, Liu Yan did not squirm, and said bluntly, "If my feelings are not wrong, I think you want to show some Chinese elements in this song." ”
Jason nodded, not denying it, "I wanted to imitate the melodic tune of 'Autumn Moon' and create a Chinese style, and I didn't know Chinese instruments, so I tried to replace it with a harmonica and a cappella." ”
"But it makes the song sound like an English ballad. What you show is what you understand and perceive retro, but it doesn't mean that as long as the ancient music is played, it is all Chinese, it has to do with the cultural background of everyone's growth, some things are deep-rooted, and I can't play English folk and American country music. ”
"The rhythm of Chinese music is completely different from that of Western instruments, traditional Chinese instruments only have pentatonic scales, and traditional Chinese repertoire cannot be performed by Western instruments at all, unless it is re-arranged, so your songs are essentially music with your own unique style, not Chinese style. This is just a little shallow opinion of mine, don't you mind. ”
"No, no, of course I don't mind. ”
Liu Yan's comment hit the nail on the head, not only did not make Jason angry, but also made a look of surprise in his eyes, he asked her, "Then how do you think I should modify this tune?"
Liu Yangang wanted to say that adding the accompaniment of Chinese instruments might be a little better, but felt that if she said so, would it seem that she was cheeky and rushed to play Jason's ensemble?
She fell silent.
Jason took out a stack of sheet music from his suitcase, pulled one out of it, and asked her, "You rearranged my old song "You Are My Love" very well, if I asked you to help me change this section into an ancient Chinese style tune, would you be able to do it?"
Liu Yan took it and quickly looked at the stave in front of her, which was the climax of "That Princess from Han", and said, "I can give it a try." ”
Jason waited for her to say, "Great, can you change it tomorrow?" ”
Forehead......
Liu Yan was embarrassed, it took her two months to adapt "You Are My Love" intermittently, of course, it was the whole song, and she had other work to do during the period, and it took so long to get it done.
She only needs to change the song "That Princess from Han" for a short time, and if she has enough energy, it is possible to change it tomorrow, but she has to go to school tomorrow, and tomorrow she will have a job in an online guqin lesson to learn how to write and ink.
However, Liu Yan still agreed to Jason's request, and she also took into account the interests of many parties, at this time, Jason's agent had not yet arrived in China, and they and Yu Zhan had not yet negotiated the price of cooperation, Liu Yan wanted to please Jason as much as possible, so that he could give Yu Zhan more room for bargaining on the price - the final result was as she wished.
On the other hand, if she can accompany Jason's new songs, she can also further improve her own international influence, her domestic Internet celebrity industry is basically about to reach its peak, driven by ambition, she wants to become a world-class Internet celebrity, and also wants to spread Chinese cultural symbols to the world, so that foreign netizens can also learn about those brilliant treasures of Chinese tradition.
And He Lushen called her alone last night, and he asked her if she was willing to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with them, and in the future, "Princess of the Han Dynasty" would be her account for overseas, and He Lushen's team would help her operate, and she would share fifty-fifty with them.
Liu Yan was a little moved by this proposal, and the misunderstanding was solved, Jason did not get angry and stinked the account of "Han Dynasty Princess", such as scolding it as a liar on the Internet, and the number of fans of "Han Dynasty Princess" rose to 400w+ because of the big news that Jason came to China, and it is really a medium-sized Internet celebrity on YouTube.
He Lushen did what he said, and he also registered an account with the same name on ins-the one who was preemptively registered, and was almost robbed by others. However, others are in the capital, and they haven't had time to operate this account yet. The account doesn't post any content, and the number of followers is only a few hundred.
Liu Yan did not immediately agree to cooperate with He Lushen, first, she was not satisfied with the ratio of 55 shares, and the share between Ai Live and her was 2 to 8; Second, she was worried that her sudden takeover of the "Han Dynasty Princess" would make Jason more hearty, and there would be some unnecessary misunderstandings.
