Jason trusted Liu Yan very much, and immediately sent her the recording file of the song through the social app, without worrying that she would leak this song that had not yet been released. If Liu Yan sells the song to the American paparazzi or Jason's rival company, it will make more than $20 million. Of course, Liu Yan is not a short-sighted person, and the benefits of establishing a friendship with Jason are far more than 20 million.

It is not easy to adapt the song, first of all, Liu Yan must be loyal to Jason's original work, and cannot change his thoughts, his emotional color, but also integrate Liu Yan's own understanding. Liu Yan first locked herself in a quiet room, and didn't even let cats and dogs in. She listened to the song 10 times on a loop, writing down the English lyrics — the first time she listened to it in Jason's hotel room, she didn't understand some sentences, and when she talked to Jason, she had to pretend to understand him very well.

Thankfully, music knows no borders, and her understanding and guesswork hit Jason's heartstrings.

Reading Jason's lyrics, Liu Yan found that it resembles a famous poem in the Book of Songs that has been passed down through the ages - "Guan Ju". "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman ......" replaces the ancient natural background in the original text with the modern Internet, Liu Yan is a fair beauty, Jason is not a young man who pursues beauty, Jason's lyrics also read: "I pray, I hope she can look at me" (I prey that you will look my way).

"I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning......" is simply Jason's psychological portrayal, long nights, tossing and turning, worrying day and night, and wanting to pursue the princess of the Han Dynasty with one heart, exactly the same as his lyrics "I stay awake at night" (I stay awake at night) and "I am haunted by her dreams" (You face is always on my mind),

"My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. The young man played the piano and drums in pursuit of a beautiful woman, and Jason wrote this song for Liu Yan, who in turn adapted the song with the guqin and gave it back to him.

The more Liu Yan looked at it, the more amazing it became, Jason certainly hadn't read the Chinese Book of Songs, but he inadvertently wrote about the state of mind that seemed to be familiar with the young man more than 2,500 years ago, probably some feelings from human nature, which are eternal and unchanging, and have nothing to do with skin color, nationality, faith and civilization.

Since the lyrics are similar, can she sing it in the same way as an ancient song? The ensemble also includes chords and harmonies, and if there is "Guan Ju" as a harmony, is Jason's new song still worried about the lack of Chinese elements? It's full of Chinese elements!

It's better to act than to move.

Liu Yan sat in front of the guqin, plucked the first note, and began to sing: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in Hezhizhou." My Fair Lady, Gentleman ......"

The next day, after Liu Yan finished her afternoon class, she immediately went back to the apartment to get the guqin and rushed to the hotel.

In Jason's room, Liu Yan met Scott, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby, medium build, just by looking at Scott's appearance and dress, he knew that his profession must be a businessman, a formal bow tie, full of shrewdness, and the skin on his face and shiny hair had a kind of oiliness characteristic of a Caucasian businessman.

When he saw Liu Yan, his eyes were a little critical, and he looked at Jason, as if to say, "She's the princess of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Everyone's tastes and visions are different, and Liu Yan, a girl with a shriveled figure, is not Scott's thing. However, Scott still greeted Liu Yan very solemnly and politely. For her, they gave up $7 million.

He wanted to see if she was really that talented.

Liu Yan has now dealt with all kinds of businessmen, she is not afraid of Scott's gaze, looks at him, and smiles dignifiedly, "Hello, I am Liu Yan......" Her self-introduction is not "Princess of the Han Dynasty", but Liu Yan, before she decided to cooperate with He Lushen, "Princess of the Han Dynasty" was not synonymous with her.

Her neither humble nor arrogant bearing is worthy of Scott's affirmation, at least worthy of the title of "princess". He has come into contact with countless young girls in their early 20s, who are either overconfident and flamboyant, and who treat themselves too seriously, or who are submissive, only know how to stutter, and cannot get on the stage.

Jason was intrigued by the long strip-shaped thing Liu Yan was carrying behind him, "This is your instrument?"

"Yes, it's a guqin," Liu Yan took off the case, and she specially customized a pure log case for her guqin, which was more expensive than her qin.

Liu Yan's guqin is still the copycat "Luqi" that was bought for more than 2,000 yuan in a hurry at the musical instrument store of Boss Li at the back door of the Conservatory. With her current financial resources, she can change to a better guqin, but this piano is the first piano she has obtained through this world, people always pour deep feelings into the "first time", Liu Yan is no exception, and she is used to using this piano, with a smooth hand, for a better one, the effect of playing is not necessarily much better than the cheap piano, the key to playing is to see the level and gas of the performer. Before she went to the recording studio to record the guqin part of the promotional film of "Autumn Moon", she used her own piano instead of the expensive paulownia guqin during filming.

Jason's room is very large, in addition to a bed, there is also a small living room, Liu Yan took out the piano from the piano case, put the piano on the coffee table, Jason and Scott both gathered around, curious to study.

Jason had only seen this instrument on YouTube videos, and he was fascinated by Liu Yan, who played the guqin. He asked Liu Yan, "Can I touch it?"

"Absolutely. ”

Jason reached out and carefully plucked a few strings for fear of breaking, and the strings emitted a long tone, making Jason smile with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, I just want this effect, some ethereal, some mysterious." Jason was really interested in the guqin, and he asked Liu Yan some questions about the guqin, such as how to play, music rules, etc., which involved several very professional questions, Liu Yan could not answer in English, and there were no corresponding words in English.

Seeing Liu Yan racking his brains to think of words, Jason said embarrassedly, "Am I too ignorant?"

"No, no, no, in fact, some Chinese do not understand our own musical instruments, we mostly write songs with modern music writing techniques, using the Western music theory system, these ancient instruments are gradually forgotten by everyone, so I thank you for your willingness to add guqin accompaniment to your songs, so that Chinese instruments are known by more Western foreigners." ”

Jason smiled, he is not as tall as Liu Yan said, he just wants to make his new song more perfect, get the first place on the billboard, and preferably win this year's Grammys to win more fame and fortune.

He asked Liu Yan to help him adapt and play with him, but he didn't pay her a penny, and she didn't make relevant requests, didn't he obviously take advantage of the other party? This is also the reason why he exempted Yu Zhan from the fee of 7 million.
