The new single that is to be released after the year has basically no interlude in the whole song, so when Deng Ge was editing it in the end, he directly edited a section of the verse.
Compared with some preview previews in the past, the 20 seconds or so of the live warm-up released this time can be said to be a very complete section, allowing fans to listen to it quickly.
Far away in Los Angeles, Aaron, as a professional music critic, has become a fan of Jiang Yuan in the eyes of many people.
Whenever there is a music update related to Jiang Yuan, Aaron will always receive a private message or @ immediately, which is one step faster than software push.
Aaron is not dissatisfied with this. He is indeed interested in Jiang Yuan's works.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan is about to restart the encore concert, and Aaron is also ready to make time to attend.
He just didn't know if he would receive an invitation. Aaron was thinking about it while checking the short video that was forwarded to his private message.
Because the video was indeed very short, only about twenty seconds, after confirming the duration, Aaron also took a look at the copy that Jiang Yuan brought with him when he posted the video.
The content of the copy is very concise. It just states that this is a special live of the new song. The live will be released two days before the new song is released. In addition to adding a song title, there is nothing else.
"Demons" Aaron repeated the song title, which literally means "Demons".
However, Aaron subconsciously took a look at Jiang Yuan's outfit in the live video. He was wearing a white jacket suit, and the background was a sunny rooftop view. It looked like a song with bright colors.
While thinking, Aaron quickly pressed the play button on the video.
In the end, regarding the choice of the trailer paragraph, Jiang Yuan and Deng Ge took a rough look at it and felt that the beginning of the song was the most suitable.
The screen directly showed a close-up of Jiang Yuan's upper body. There was no prelude. Jiang Yuan held the microphone and started singing.
“When the days are cold, and the cards all fold,
and the saints we see,are all made fold.....
(When coldness comes to the world, when hope destroys the world,
The saints we can put our hope in are just powerless golden statues...)"
Jiang Yuan's vocals were the first to appear, and then accompaniments gradually began to join in. There were not many special effects, making the music sound very immersive.
Aaron closed his eyes unconsciously as he listened. At the beginning of the song, Jiang Yuan's singing voice was very calm, as if he was explaining a phenomenon more intuitively.
“When your dreams all fail,and the ones we hail,
are the wrost of all,and the blood's run stale......
(When your dreams fall, when we can only worship power,
Underneath this unprecedented nightmare, even the blood becomes stale...)"
In the opening part, Jiang Yuan opened up the atmosphere of the song with a short chorus. Even the sky in the background of the rooftop was specially chosen to have a less sunny sky, which is a cold-toned scene.
Although Aaron guessed that as the song progresses, the atmosphere of the whole song will become a lot brighter.
But the pity is that this is just a live trailer. It is already very good to have such a long main song released.
If you want to hear the full version, you have to wait until the day the live version is officially launched.
Aaron's interest was indeed piqued by this verse, but he didn't immediately recommend it for a trailer.
I just silently made an appointment for the live video to go online.
Subconsciously, I began to feel that as the first track of the new album to be released in the new year, it should have some different meanings.
There are many listeners who have the same idea as Aaron. The slightly calm and low-pitched opening sounds to everyone as paving the way for subsequent changes in the song.
The number of reservations for the live video that was launched simultaneously gradually increased with the number of playbacks of the trailer.
Because the live trailer is relatively short in duration, the number of views has also increased very quickly, and it did not take long to become the most popular short video on many social media.
While Jiang Yuan was still busy with road show work, he noticed the response to the trailer of "Demons", which was not too surprising.
On the one hand, Zhang Qing had previously informed that the promotion of the new song this time required a lot more investment than the previous singles. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan was also very optimistic about the song "Demons".
The song comes from the band Menglong. Although the song is popular, both the song itself and the creative background are very meaningful. It is also a very warm song.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan chose this single.
At the previous album production discussion meeting, Jiang Yuan, Deng Ge and others also preliminarily confirmed the style and direction of the album.
After careful consideration, Jiang Yuan still wants to complete a song that can warm people's hearts and bring more positive energy to everyone.
In fact, the previously released tracks are relatively close to this direction.
"The keyword for the new album should be healing."
After one of the road shows, Jiang Yuan hurriedly accepted an exclusive interview with the magazine and gave this answer.
"Why do you want to complete the album with this theme?" the reporter in charge of the interview further asked.
"I personally think it should be a theme that was discovered unconsciously during the album production process."
"Of course, the final decision to start production in this direction was also a point that our entire team felt was very good after discussion."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As everyone's lives are very busy right now, if you put on headphones and listen to music in your spare time, I hope you can draw some nutrients and energy from it."
Jiang Yuan thought carefully for a while and answered, which was indeed the purpose of producing the latest album.
This interview was prepared for next month's magazine. In addition to customizing the interview to match the magazine's cover shoot, it also provided room for Jiang Yuan to promote his new album and movie.
It just so happened that the magazine itself was also interested in this topic, so the entire interview went smoothly.
"It's such a warm reason. Just after hearing this introduction, I can't wait to hear this new album. I feel that it can have a good recharging effect." The reporter also subconsciously expressed this emotion.
"I will give you one when the time comes." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh? Have you already thought about releasing a physical album?" After expressing his gratitude, the reporter was also attracted by Jiang Yuan's words.
"This is included in every album, but the production plan has not been confirmed yet." Jiang Yuan pondered and revealed the progress.
It has to be said that the efficiency of the studio is still very high. While Jiang Yuan was busy working on the movie, the album production team had already come up with several versions of album design ideas, and they were also waiting for Jiang Yuan to be free and then make a decision.
.
"I look forward to you bringing new works to everyone. During the recent Spring Festival period, we know that you have a very popular movie that is being released, right?" The reporter praised a few words and changed the topic to movies again.
.
In response, Jiang Yuan nodded naturally, "Yes, I just came over from the road show."
"Do you have any feelings about the movie being so popular during the Spring Festival?" the reporter continued to ask.
"There must be some. The most important thing is gratitude. I am very grateful to everyone for coming into the theater to watch our performance."
"At the same time, during the road show, I heard a lot of feedback from everyone, and I also feel that there is still some room for improvement." Jiang Yuan simply shared his feelings.
After the road show in so many cities, Jiang Yuan felt that he had gained a lot.
After talking with some viewers, I can indeed realize that the movie can be better.
This allowed both Jiang Yuan and He Jing to see a relatively large room for improvement. After realizing this, the two began to look forward to the filming of their next work and wanted to improve themselves in it.
Jiang Yuan did not hide this in the interview. After all, the theme of next month's magazine is directly named "Dialogue with Himself."
Subconsciously, Jiang Yuan became more sincere when answering questions.
"Because the movie that is being released is actually a completed work, it is natural to be happy and grateful to see that the movie has achieved such beautiful results so far."
"At the same time, it also plays an motivating role, making us want to invest in the production of new works more quickly, and look forward to returning new works to everyone as soon as possible." Jiang Yuan said seriously, looking in the direction of the camera.
Although magazine interviews are more often presented in the form of text in the magazine itself.
However, since there was a camera nearby to record, Jiang Yuan's ability to capture the camera was as sensitive as ever, and he was able to express his emotions appropriately.
"With "Tang Detective" achieving such great success, everyone hopes that you and Director He Jing can continue this style into the next work. Are you preparing a movie of this type?"
Because spoilers cannot be revealed, the reporter also adopted a more roundabout way of asking questions.
"No, this point has actually been answered at the road show." Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"Actually, the progress of our recent preparations is pretty good. So I should be able to announce some new information to you soon." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and added again.
The recent progress in the preparations for "The Wandering Earth" is mainly reflected in He Jing's work. Judging from what Jiang Yuan learned from He Jing, the entire production team has been assembled.
To achieve this, a lot of effort was put in behind the scenes. During the road show, Jiang Yuan noticed that He Jing needed to communicate with people on the phone from time to time to issue invitations.
At the beginning, it was a little frustrating, but as "Detective Chinatown" achieved amazing box office success during the Spring Festival, He Jing's invitation became much more convenient.
Even many people who had rejected the invitation before took the initiative to extend their olive branches after the new movie became popular, making the formation of the team much easier.
In addition, after a period of systematic study, He Jing already had his own experience on how to shoot "The Wandering Earth", so Jiang Yuan revealed this during the interview.
"I look forward to you bringing new surprises to everyone!" the reporter said enthusiastically.
The interview was not too long. It was only about half an hour in total. Most of the questions were questions that the family members could answer more comfortably.
After the interview, the day's itinerary came to an end, and it ended in the evening.
It’s around 9pm. More than three hours have passed since the trailer video for “Demons” was released.
A short trailer video serves as a good warm-up for the song "Demons".
It's obvious that the public is really looking forward to this song.
But you still have to wait for a while to hear the full version of the song.
The next day, Jiang Yuan probably had a heated discussion with the entire album production team, mainly about the design of the physical album and the arrangements for which songs would be filmed in MVs or performed live.
This is the second album production discussion meeting where all members of the group are present. The difference from the last time is that Jiang Yuan has already put together a playlist of songs included in the album after arriving this time.
If we talk about the last meeting, he mostly put forward his opinions through the songs that have been published, but in this meeting, everyone made more judgments based on Jiang Yuan's collection of songs.
As a result, the album production discussion meeting has indeed made a lot of progress. The song list and time of the entire album have been finalized, which will also make the production of this album much easier.
Most of the work was actually handed over to Jiang Yuan himself, such as the recording of songs and the shooting of MVs, etc.
The album production team is more responsible for some visual concept designs. For example, album pictorials and photo shoots are an essential part.
After the second meeting, the production schedule was roughly planned, and the recording time was basically left to Jiang Yuan's discretion.
But things like visual photo shoots are more complicated. After all, the team needs to carefully research and design the different makeup and clothing combinations for the photos.
But before that, Jiang Yuan had taken a set of concept photos in advance for the single "Demons".
While there was no sound source and no full version of the live video was released, the studio also released some of the previously taken photos and used them as promotional materials for the single.
The whole set of photos is in relatively cold colors, which just fits the temperament of the part that has been released.
The long-lost photos and different makeup styles are also deeply loved by fans.
Not long after the photo was posted, it has already become a global hot search trend. Generally, when Jiang Yuan posts such a nine-square photo, it is also the time when the data is the best.
Until the live video was officially launched, Jiang Yuan continued to release materials every day.
In this way, time came unknowingly to the day the live video was released.
