Chapter 83: The Rise of Lincoln (3)

"Hey~ man, have you heard? Linkin Park's latest creation. ”

"You mean the One-Step-Closer?"

"Haha, yes, it's One-Step-Closer. It's exciting! ”

"yes~ I love that guy Mike Nobuta's rap."

"No~No~No~ My favorite is the orgasmic roar."

"It's a pity that this song was not released as a single. I really don't know what CBGB thinks. I've always been optimistic about this band when I was in the American Superband Championship, I was fascinated by their metallic texture, and they weren't any worse than Magic Red. ”

"It's not easy to get a single."

"How?"

"You've heard of the latest remake of Linkin Park's One-Step-Closer! "One-Step-Closer" is a website download, as long as you download the song to your computer and then pass it through the CD burner, you can burn the song into a single record. ”

"Can this really be? Isn't Linkin Park afraid of the copyright theft of their songs? ”

"I don't know about that, I just know that everybody is doing it, and everybody is keen on it."

"Nothing will be a problem, will it?"

"There shouldn't be any problems. Need a blank disc? I happen to have a few, I'll give you one. ”

"You should give me a disc of the single you burned."

Beginning in mid-May, One-Step-Closer, published on Linkin Park's official website, began to quietly become popular on the Internet thanks to comprehensive recommendations from MSN, CBGB and Draghi reports, using nascent streaming technology. In just one week, tens of thousands of posts about One-Step-Closer appeared in the blogosphere and Yahoo fan forums.

Because the official Linkin Park website also offered a download function for the songs, it didn't take long for rock enthusiasts to burn "One-Step-Closer" into a single disc, and the trend quickly spread from the Internet to reality. Soon. Almost all the rock teenagers on the street have a record of the "One-Step-Closer" single.

Linkin Park has gained popularity in a short period of time.

As a result, Warner Records also called manager Chloe Scott, meaning that Warner Records was willing to sign Linkin Park if they didn't have a record deal at the moment. It's a pity that the renamed Xero band still belongs to CBGB.

Joseph of Glendale High School made up his mind after listening to "One-Step-Closer" and finally agreed to Mike Nobuta's request, and the assembly at Linkin Park was officially completed.

After gaining super popularity, the production of the band's first album is also on the agenda.

"I'll write a song for you, but. All the other songs are up to you. Jerry, who holds the title of a producer, still can't relax his demands on Mike Nobuta and Rob Bardem, "If you can't come up with a good work, I'll still say that, and the album will continue to be delayed." The time is ripe, and it depends on your ability to do it or not. ”

Mike Nobuta and Rob Baden rub shoulders.

The momentum is like a rainbow.

Who made the streets fill the streets with the melody of "One-Step-Closer"?

The rap frenzy of new metal really fascinated everyone!

Natalie, who was sitting next to Jerry, closed the book and held her chin. Looking at Jerry's side face, the guy was writing something. Natalie discovers that Jerry, who has actually returned to her, seems to have become a different guy, not at all as lazy as he used to be. The hippie-smiling scoundrel, now he is always busy. Busy reading books, busy writing songs. It seems that he is still busy reviewing the script. However, I don't know why, it's such a guy. is such a guy who is busy with concentration, but it makes her more and more obsessed.

Natalie really didn't know how this guy's head grew, and it was just a plan that she couldn't even understand that made Xero a household name.

Scarlett, who is almost not interested in heavy metal, will actually come up with a "One-Step-Closer" lyrics or two.

"What's wrong?" Jerry inadvertently looked up, only to find Natalie staring at him intently, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

Natalie smiled and shook her head, when did this guy change so much? "Wouldn't you do that and it wouldn't bother other the record companies?"

Jerry knew that Natalie was talking about the free download of One-Step-Closer, "Whether other record companies bother or not, that's not something I should be thinking about." I just wanted to expand the visibility of Linkin Park through such a program, and if there was anything we didn't expect, it was that we've changed the habits of music lovers to a certain extent. ”

"Huh?" Expanding the popularity of Linkin Park, Natalie is well aware, and he did, but changing the habits of music lovers? Natalie didn't understand what Jerry meant for a moment.

"What would you do if you supported a band?" Jerry asked with a smile as he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Buying the band's singles and albums, of course." This is something that everyone knows.

"What if I like both Magic Red and Linkin Park, and I want my CD to have both Magic Red and Linkin Park songs?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to buy two CDs at the same time."

"That's too much trouble. Besides, even if I like Linkin Park, I don't necessarily like all the Linkin Park songs. In this world, a masterpiece of meteors is always the majority. ”

"What then?"

"If you can provide a website that allows you to download all your favorite songs and then burn your own CDs as you wish." Jerry paused, waiting for Natalie to digest what she had said.

Natalie's eyes widened, she really couldn't understand this guy's whimsical thoughts, if that's the case, maybe he can really change the habits of music lovers, but how to solve the copyright problem? And if it really happens, won't other music companies have more trouble?

"There is always a solution to the problem of copyright." (To be continued......)
