Jiang Yuan's first concept video for his English debut album. Because it is very short, the completion rate of the video is very high.
The extremely high completion rate also caused the number of views of the concept short film to skyrocket within an hour of its launch.
Fans are also eagerly discussing the message revealed in the short film.
Just after finishing the morning's movie shooting, Jiang Yuan also curiously logged into his account and took a look at the content of the short film while taking advantage of his lunch break.
Although it is true that I shot it myself, I was busy shooting the movie for several days and really had no time to care about the final effect of the film.
This resulted in Jiang Yuan having to watch the official concept film much later than the fans.
In order to highlight the concept of life, the short film itself is also very life-oriented.
The shooting location was also decorated like an apartment. The first shot was of Jiang Yuan wearing casual home clothes. He inserted a blank tape into the recorder and pressed the record button.
The recording officially started, and the clock on the wall pointed to eight o'clock in the morning.
In the picture, Jiang Yuan picked up a guitar and started playing and singing. At this time, the accompaniment of the new song officially started playing.
As the time on the clock on the screen passed quickly, Jiang Yuan took out the tape that had been recorded and put it into a tape box that had been made.
The box has a designed cover, which is the new single that has been released online.
After loading the tape, Jiang Yuan took out a blank tape and put it into the tape recorder, and started recording again.
As time went by, the number of tapes on the table began to increase.
At the same time, the light in the picture also changes from dawn to dark, and then to dawn again.
Until the hour hand turned twice and stopped at eight o'clock again, Jiang Yuan put down the guitar and took out the last tape from the recorder.
The picture shows a close-up of the tape. Unlike the first one, this one does not have a complete cover.
Instead, Jiang Yuan wrote the words No. 17 with a marker pen.
After finishing, Jiang Yuan put the tapes on the table into a music box one by one.
There were seventeen tapes in total. As the seventeen tapes were placed neatly, Jiang Yuan closed the lid of the music box.
At the end of the screen, the official release date of the album is revealed, which happens to be Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas.
The short film ended here. Jiang Yuan exited the interface and nodded subconsciously, feeling that the effect of the short film was quite good.
By the way, let’s refresh the hot comments discussed by fans under the video.
【Seventeen songs? Good, good!】
【I am looking forward to the Christmas Eve gift now.】
[So what is the concept of this album? 24 hours? 】
[Will the only single that will be updated next be "Counting Stars"? Only the new song and this one have a finished cover.]
[I don’t know if you have tried to adjust the color, but suddenly I discovered that there are other song titles in the album that have also been revealed [picture]]
After a quick glance, Jiang Yuan found that his fans were quite microscopic.
In the final close-up, the unreleased single is mostly replaced by its number.
But in fact, the name of the single was written in pencil on the side cover of the tape.
As long as you have a screenshot from a fan and slightly adjust the parameters of the photo, you can see this more clearly.
Basically, the album's track list was previewed in the first trailer video.
But fans discovered it much faster than Jiang Yuan expected.
Soon, Jiang Yuan also discovered that his name and the words "new album's playlist" had been on the hot search.
But in addition, there are many Easter eggs hidden in this first video. Jiang Yuan is thinking that if fans watch more, new topics may be discovered in the future.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan forwarded the post where fans discovered the playlist, and left a comment saying "There are Easter eggs too".
Putting down the phone, Jiang Yuan began to close his eyes and rest his mind, and by the way, he began to think about the scenes to be filmed in the afternoon.
A relatively important scene was about to end and enter the next stage of filming. Jiang Yuan started to take a lunch break while writing the script.
While Jiang Yuan was taking a lunch break, many fans fell into the joy of being busy.
Some were busy ranking new songs, some clicked on "World Songs" to watch the new songs live, and some started repeatedly pulling up the progress bar of the concept short film because of a comment by Jiang Yuan, trying to find it.
to new easter egg content.
As soon as the penultimate feature film of "World Songs" was released online, the number of views began to soar.
Compared with the previous two issues, the feature film style of this issue is more similar to the style of the earlier issues.
After all, the first two feature films basically revolved around the performance from the beginning. Although there were financial restrictions on Jiang Yuan and others, the scenes of traveling and relaxing were inevitably reduced.
But the last trip, the trip to Iceland, was relatively average.
In addition to completing two performances in succession, Jiang Yuan and others' travel arrangements were also very satisfactory.
Many fans of the show felt healed by the scenery as soon as they started the show, and began to enjoy it quite relaxedly.
Because each guest has a separate camera, apart from the clips where everyone is in the same frame, the program often looks a bit like a large vlog, which is very interesting to watch.
Even music critic Aaron, who had to stay up late to watch the show due to jet lag, subconsciously stopped pulling up the progress bar.
Involuntarily, he was attracted by the relatively daily travel clips of Jiang Yuan and others. Looking at the program, Aaron couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning to travel with him.
I thought that I was ready to stay up late to write a music review of Jiang Yuan's new song, and watching the entire feature film would only take more than two hours.
Everyone had to stay up all night, so Aaron simply continued watching, thinking that in addition to relaxing a little, he could also transition to Jiang Yuan's performance more naturally, and he might have more feelings about the new song.
With this idea in mind, Aaron gradually became immersed in the show.
After the song list hidden in the concept film was discovered by fans, it immediately spread all over the Internet. Aaron naturally also saw this song list, and his expectations for Jiang Yuan's new album have once again increased a lot.
While thinking about it, I saw Jiang Yuan's spoilers about the new album songs on the show, and like a fan, I became a little curious about the song that suited the snowy atmosphere.
The subsequent transition from traveling to performing was much smoother than Aaron imagined.
Apart from the pity that I couldn’t see Jiang Yuan’s complete rehearsal footage in the program’s feature film, I was quickly attracted by the scenery of the performance venue chosen by Jiang Yuan.
The faint sunlight shines on the calm sea, reflecting the sparkling waves.
Jiang Yuan appeared in the picture carrying a violin, instantly catching Aaron's attention.
I saw Jiang Yuan holding a violin in the rehearsal clip before, but I didn't know how he would perform it.
In the picture, after Jiang Yuan arranged the equipment, the camera scanned the surrounding environment.
Compared with previous performances, there were only twos and threes of local spectators watching.
Although it is not that lively, it has a bit more of a street performance atmosphere. Compared to the previous scenes where a lot of audiences gathered, the number of audiences is more similar to an ordinary street performance.
As for the audience at the time, they almost regarded Jiang Yuan as an ordinary street performer.
Aaron watched Jiang Yuan set up the equipment, then started with beatbox and recorded the drum beats in the accompaniment.
Then the violin played. Although Jiang Yuan's violin skills were not very strong, it was not a professional concert after all, and it was just enough for the accompaniment of the song.
The accompaniment was produced in the form of a loopstation. After watching several performances like Jiang Yuan's, Aaron also fell in love with this form of performance.
Compared with formal sound sources, it gives the whole live a sense of vitality of playing music.
In one minute, Jiang Yuan completed the preliminary recording of the accompaniment, leaned into the microphone and started singing.
At the same time, the title of Jiang Yuan's new song "Girls like you" also appeared on the screen.
The song comes from Maroon5, which is relatively not the most popular among their works.
But it just fits Jiang Yuan's definition of "light" songs in the album. It is a very small and fresh song, and at the same time it has a nice enough melody to not be too bland.
“Spend 24 hours I need more hours with you,
You spent the weekend getting even ooh~
(Staying with you 24 hours a day is still not enough for me, you stayed with me all weekend...)"
At the beginning of Jiang Yuan's singing, he used a singing style specially used when singing this kind of songs, with a clear and sweet feeling.
An unusual candy, like the thin velvet skin of a peach being gently peeled away, and the trace of water vapor mixed with the peach fragrance gives people a feeling.
The camera scanned the small audience at the scene, and everyone's reactions were very real.
It was like the kind of person who didn't have much expectations, but was shocked by Jiang Yuan's singing voice, and his eyes immediately changed from casual to interested.
“We spent the late nights making things right between us,
But now it's all good babe...
(After countless days and nights, we finally got on the right track, and now everything is fine...)"
In terms of singing the song, Jiang Yuan's tone is slightly different from the original singer's slightly gorgeous or coquettish singing tone.
The whole thing matches the scene very well, and the singing also has a bright and sunny texture.
Before Aaron could have any thoughts, his face showed an expression of enjoyment. This was a natural reaction of his body.
“roll that backwood baby,and play me close.....
(Come to explore the future with me, stay with me...)"
Jiang Yuan just immersed himself in the scene, singing easily and comfortably, and quickly transitioned to the chorus of the song.
“Cause girls like you run round with guys like me,
til sundown when I e through,I need a girl like you yeah yeah......
(Because girls like you are often pursued by boys like me, I tried my best to finally capture your heart...)"
During the chorus, Jiang Yuan sped up the singing rhythm.
The song is not like a rock song that can blow up the entire audience, but the chorus still has the magic of making the audience smile subconsciously and sway gently along with it.
“Girls like you love fun and yeah me too,
What I want when I e through,I need girl like you yeah yeah~
Yeah yeah yeah~
(Girls like you like boys with a sense of humor like me, and I finally got everything I wanted...)"
The camera moves from a close-up of Jiang Yuan to the background of the sea behind him, and then to the expressions of the audience.
The few audience members have already begun to be fascinated by Jiang Yuan's singing.
The scenes shot by the program team made Aaron feel like a beautiful movie scene when watching it in front of the screen.
It's like a beautiful empty mirror in a movie, paired with a nice soundtrack song.
In fact, Jiang Yuan did include this scene in the shooting of the MV.
When I was in Iceland, I happened to shoot the MV for the song "Girls like you".
This single itself does not have an official MV, but this song is not just a single from Jiang Yuan's album.
Part of the reason why this song was included in the album is because they also recorded a chorus version of this song together in their previous collaboration album with Shang Yan'er.
In addition, the MV shooting is relatively simple, so I took advantage of my time in Iceland to complete the shooting of this song MV.
“I spent last night on the last flight to you.....
(Last night, I caught the last flight to you...)"
Jiang Yuan's singing transitioned smoothly to the second verse.
The lyrics of the song itself are about love and are very sweet words.
Such words paired with Jiang Yuan's singing made Aaron couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, as if he had watched a fresh love movie.
The entire song lasted for more than three minutes, and Aaron almost didn't feel the passage of time.
I just felt that I had only swayed slightly along with the song twice before Jiang Yuan stopped singing, which made Aaron feel that the performance ended too suddenly.
I simply pulled back the progress bar and listened again.
"I need a girl like you."
After listening to the last line of Jiang Yuan's song again, Aaron hit the space bar to pause the playback and began to think about it.
Although this song "Girls like you" is not like Aaron's listening to Jiang Yuan's recent songs, he was ignited by the whole song in the middle of the night. He felt that the performance was so explosive that he had to write a music review in the middle of the night.
But after listening to it, Aaron had to admit that he really enjoyed the performance.
Maybe it’s because the whole picture is so beautiful, the song itself has a great melody, Jiang Yuan sings it very well, and other factors.
All in all, Aaron just loves it.
As if to match the positioning of this song in the album, Aaron also wrote the music review very relaxedly, writing the article while watching the rest of the show.
Finally, the title of the music review was set as a necessary spice for a good album.
It’s unclear what Aaron’s final music review will be, but the easter eggs that Jiang Yuan left in the fan post video were quickly discovered.
For Jiang Yuan, just after taking a nap, he saw a complete analysis post in Yuan Universe.
While the makeup artist was applying makeup, Jiang Yuan clicked on the post.
