Chapter 1011: New Song Leaked
Cohen has a big shelf and is often late for all kinds of sleepy and breakfast and other reasons, but like today, he was more than an hour late, which was very unusual, Jason waited left and right, the coffee was all drunk, and the people didn't arrive yet!
He asks Amanda to call Cohen, who reluctantly finds his number:
"Sorry, the number you dialed is invalid. ”
Amanda looked at the name on the screen in confirmation, it was Cohen, yes! she called again, and the number was still invalid.
She told Jason about the strange situation, "How could it be, I saw him yesterday! You must have misremembered his number," Jason said, pulling out his phone to call Cohen with the same beep.
Jason was surprised, what was going on?
At this time, an employee ran in in a panic and told them, "Our new single has been leaked online!"
The news was so sudden that both Jason and Amanda were stunned, and the nerve centers didn't even have time to express their shock. Soon Jason reacted, "f#@*&k, you're not kidding, are you?"
Frightened by Jason's hideous face as he spat out the fragrance, the employee took a step back, held up his phone, and stammered, "Yes... It's true, the preview file of the full track appeared on the Internet, and it seems that it has already spread. ”
Jason snatched his phone and looked at it, #JasonHarmer新曲 "ThatPrincessfromHan" was the first to audition#, #J曲风大变, and teamed up with the princess of the Han Dynasty to interpret Chinese style#......
The screen is full of such eye-catching titles, attracting netizens to click, especially Jason's fans, his idol has not released a new song for so long, which can be described as "grinding a sword in the past two years", and is branded as the princess of the Han Dynasty - Jason has never publicly mentioned that he will work with Liu Yan this time, let all kinds of conjectures from the outside world, he just doesn't admit it, his intention is obvious, and he keeps the surprise at the end.
So, of course, netizens don't care about the truth or not, and download it as soon as possible. And they didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was a gimmick, so they clicked the play button casually and auditioned to see.
In the ears is a piano prelude......
The prelude doesn't seem to be too important, the prelude is good, it doesn't mean that the song is good, but the song is good, its prelude must be the most able to catch people's hearts at the beginning, people can't help but calm down, continue to listen, European and American pop songs are not uncommon to use pure piano music as a prelude, but usually have a strong sense of rhythm and bright style, because young people now like to listen to music that is a little more energetic.
And this new song starts from the prelude, the style is very different, different from other singers, and different from the songs Jason has written in recent years, which makes people feel like going back to thirty or forty years ago, when American folk songs were prevalent. While the listeners were wondering if there would be a little harmonica or guitar accompaniment in the next section, a male voice that was unique to Jason sounded:
“Ipreythatyouwilllookmyway;”
“Istayawakeatnight;”
......
His singing voice is so gentle, so gentle that it reaches the bottom of everyone's heart, and everyone seems to see a pair of gentle eyes, looking at the girl they like.
"Oh my God, it's so good, J can sing love so warmly, it's so different from his own style!
"Originally, I just listened to it casually, but somehow, I remembered the first girl I liked when I was in middle school, and I also dreamed of her face at night, listening to this song and reminiscing, it was really a lot of emotion. ”
"The piano is very good, but I think the accompaniment is a bit thin if it is only the piano, as if something is missing. ”
As soon as this netizen finished writing a comment, the sound of another unfamiliar instrument sounded in the player, which blended into the sound of the piano, and the sound of the piano gradually became smaller, becoming a supporting role, and the new instrument dominated. Jason's singing continued, and at the same time, everyone also heard a very light female harmony, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good......"
"Wow, this is definitely the sound of the guqin of the princess of the Han Dynasty!"
"She really came to the U.S. to collaborate with Jason!"
"She sings harmony too, it's the first time I've heard her sing!"
Ninety-nine percent of these Chinese lyrics are incomprehensible to listeners, and even Chinese who understand Chinese are not sure what to sing, after all, who would have thought that she would sing "The Book of Poetry" in American pop songs!
But this did not prevent netizens from being amazed by the sound of the guqin and her singing.
If the main lyrics are Jason's confession, then Liu Yan's harmony is more like a bystander, representing the tranquility and indifference of the sea, the calmness and leisureliness of the wind, and a fresh and free heart, in short, it is erratic, which Jason cannot touch, just like the name of the song "The Princess from the Han Dynasty of China".
A love song, with her Chinese-style harmony and accompaniment, the theme is sublimated, and the artistic conception is different.
"I want to emphasize that I'm not a fan of Jason, I don't like his old music, that's not my style, but I should be a fan of him because of this song!"
"Nowadays, American pop music is like a mass-produced commodity on an assembly line, nothing new, and this song has made my ears enjoy, and I would like to praise it! ”
"The first time I heard Chinese in an English song, the wonderful experience, it turned out that Chinese was sung, it was so beautiful, I didn't need to know what it meant, I just knew that it was beautiful." ”
......
Netizens praised this song wildly, and forwarded it to their relatives and friends, and the good songs should be shared together. They ignore the very important issue of Jason's record label not releasing his new singles, and they unwittingly contribute to the spread of piracy.
It's not that they don't have copyright awareness, it's that this piece doesn't look like piracy at all!
Almost every popular singer will be targeted by pirates, and the track and content of a new album will be classified as top secret by the record company before it is released, but many singers still have the experience of having their songs leaked, and Jason suffered one more than a decade ago.
But piracy is piracy after all, compared with the regular and formal sound source, the sound quality of the leaked version is relatively poor, and there is a big gap with the final song, and the ears are slightly pointed, and the listener with a more critical taste can recognize it.
The early version of "ThatPrincessfromHan" is almost perfect, the sound quality is clear, the production is well-made, the emotions are abundant, and the singing-songwriting and instrumental performance level are all online, how can such a song be pirated?
Everyone thought that this was a deliberate leak of the new song by Jason and the record company in advance - this is also the hype trick used by some small record companies for less famous singers, first warming up on the Internet, and waiting for a few days for the official release of the single, so that there can be a little fan base.
