After hanging up the phone with Mariah Carey, Zhou Yan didn't take a break and started writing the score of "Bleeding Love" directly.
This thing is really simple. It took less than ten minutes for Zhou Yan to finish the score.
After finishing writing, he put the score aside and prepared to send it to Mariah Carey tomorrow.
Then he picked up the book and returned to the sofa to continue reading.
Zhou Yan waited until the Spring Festival Gala ended before going to wash up and go to bed.
In the next few days, he followed his family to visit relatives. It was the same as in previous years, nothing special.
……
Mariah Carey has been thinking about the new song since she talked to Zhou Yan on the phone.
Fortunately, Zhou Yan didn't keep her waiting too long, and sent her the score a day later.
After getting the score, she sight-singed directly.
After singing it only once, she realized the excellence of the piece and immediately called Watera Vansev.
Waltera Vansev is one of the producers of the new album and is also her old friend. They have co-produced many previous songs.
After receiving a call from Mariah Carey, Walter knew it was related to the new album, so he smiled and said, "Maria, do you have any new ideas for the new album?"
The new album is progressing well. The twelve songs have basically been finalized, and some songs have begun to be recorded, so Huatea is very relaxed now.
This album is probably the most relaxing one he has ever made.
Sometimes he secretly lamented that Maria's divorce was really good. After the divorce, Maria was very energetic in making albums.
"I invited another new song," Mariah Carey said.
"New songs?" Huatea was very confused. "Aren't the songs already decided? Are you planning to increase the number of songs to thirteen?"
They had discussed the number of songs in the album before, and it was finally decided that there would be twelve songs, but they may add songs when they are released in other regions, and the songs added in other regions will all be old songs.
"The quantity remains the same. I want to replace one of the twelve songs."
"Change? Which song do you want to change?"
"I didn't think about it, so I called you to discuss this matter."
"Are you sure you want to change?"
What Huatea meant was to ask if it was worth changing the song now. After all, they had put a lot of thought into the previous twelve songs.
"Of course, this is Y-chou's new song." Mariah Carey laughed.
As soon as he heard the name Y-chou, Huatea didn't hesitate at all and said immediately, "Change, must change, so let's replace the song "thebeautifulones"."
"TheBeautifulones" is not an original song, but a cover from Prince, so Walter thought it could be replaced directly. No matter how good the cover is, it will not be as good as the original.
"Well, that's okay. Let's add that song when it's released in other regions."
"Then it's settled. Tell me quickly what style Y's new song is. Have the lyrics been released?" Huatya asked eagerly.
"Let's go to the company if we have time in the afternoon, and I'll sing it to you. Lyrics Y have been completely written, and I don't have anything to change."
"Okay, let's see you in the afternoon."
……
Mariah Carey is busy working on new songs, and Celine Dion and Sony have negotiated with ABC about the rights to play the concert.
This matter has been discussed a few days ago, and now it is finally settled.
Originally, ABC wanted to lower the price, but the news about the new song "All of Me" has become more and more popular recently, and they were afraid that if they didn't negotiate, they would be snatched away by other TV companies.
In addition, although the 80 million yuan box office of "Space Traveler" is not very impressive from the perspective of Hollywood, after all, it broke the box office record in mainland China, which is considered a small gimmick, which also affected the negotiation process.
One final point, in a few days it will be Valentine’s Day on February 14th.
If they can get the right to premiere the love song "allofme" at this time, it will undoubtedly guarantee the channel's ratings.
After the cooperation was negotiated, ABC began to publicize the news that Celine Dion's concert and "All of Me" would premiere on February 14th.
……
"You mean, ABC is promoting Celine Dion's concert now?"
Bantam Group, Dante Self looked at his assistant Cambot, "And the most talked about song in this concert was written by Y?"
"Well, it's not just written by Y, but it's also an episode in Y's new movie. Some time ago, Celine Dion attracted a lot of attention after her first song in New York. However, because the song was not officially released, she had to go to the concert Only the audience has heard this song, no one else has.”
Dante nodded and said, "In other words, how about this song that everyone wants to hear now?"
"Yes, so the popularity is very high. "Billboard" published an article before and spoke very highly of this song."
"Sure enough, our choice at that time was right."
Dante Self smiled and said, "Go and announce the news. Just say that Y's new book will be released soon."
"Should we advance the release date of the new book?"
"When will "Shutter Island" be released in April?"
"It's April 18th."
"Just stick to the original time, no need to change it, and the promotion plan will also stick to the original one. By the way, when will Y's new movie "abouttime" be released in the United States?"
"I've asked, but it hasn't been decided yet."
“Continue to follow up later.”
"Understood."
Under normal circumstances, Dante Self would not pay too much attention to the release of a novel. After all, their group is so big and there are too many new books released every year. If he pays attention to every book, Too tired.
But Y's situation is different. Although this is Y's first novel published in the United States, Dante always feels that this book can be a big seller, and Y's potential is definitely more than that.
Therefore, whenever he has free time now, he will pay attention to the situation of "Shutter Island".
Now it seems that his decision to buy "Shutter Island" with a million copies of the first printing was a wise one. The promotion of "Allofme" this time, coupled with the release of the subsequent "About Time" and "Shutter Island" movies, the whole year The heat won't be low.
As long as it can maintain its popularity, even if the sales volume is not particularly high, there is not a lot of pressure to sell the first million copies, at least it will not make a loss.
"Also." Dante asked again, "When is the premiere?" "It seems to be February 14th at seven o'clock in the evening."
"Oh, this is a good time. I'll go and have a look later."
……
Time turned and it was February 14th.
Olivia and Salori stayed in front of the TV early, waiting for the premiere of Celine Dion's concert.
Today is Valentine's Day, but both of them are single, and they didn't go out on a date, so they just watched TV at home.
Although they had heard the concert live, after learning about the premiere, they decided to watch it again without hesitation.
After listening to "allofme" last time, they have been thinking about this song. Unfortunately, this song has not been released and cannot be heard usually. Today, they can finally listen to it again.
Like them, there were many people waiting for the concert to play on the TV, and there were even many couples. Jessica and Hardison were one of them.
Instead of going out to play today on Valentine's Day, they chose to watch TV at home and wait to listen to "AllofMe".
Valentine's Day happens every year, and as long as two people love each other, every day is Valentine's Day.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
But if you miss the premiere of Y’s new song, you’ll miss it.
The two of them have been waiting for this song for a long time. Some time ago, they even went to the previous record store and asked if they could find a record from China, but they were told that there was no record. Even if this song was included in "Time Traveler" 》There is no complete version in the movie.
When it comes to "Time Traveler", they are in a state of disbelief.
Not to mention "Space Traveler", even "Spring of the Cowherd Class" has not been officially released in the United States.
Why does it take so long for every new Y movie to be released in the United States?
Can't it be released in China and the United States together? Is there any technical difficulty in this? Wouldn't it be enough to just make the subtitles appear? The review here in the United States should not be very strict.
Is it because no company is willing to represent Y’s movie?
This shouldn't be the case. After all, Y has proven his box office capabilities. The previous "The Sixth Sense" did very well at the box office.
Now they can only hope that "Space Traveler" can be released in the United States as soon as possible. Even if it is not released, they must make a video as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you want to see it, you have to go through special channels.
Don't be like "The Spring of the Cowherd", which was neither released nor released on video.
Sometimes Jessica and others feel that it is too difficult to be Y music fans and movie fans in the United States. Even if they are not compared with Chinese music fans and movie fans, they are still very miserable compared to Neon music fans and movie fans.
They are particularly envious of Y fans in Neon, because Y’s works spread the fastest in Neon outside of China.
In Neon, you can see almost all of Y’s works.
Let’s talk about movies first. Y’s movies are usually released in China first and then quickly released on Neon, so Neon fans don’t have to wait too long.
Let’s talk about music. Although Y’s album is basically released in the United States at the same time as Neon, Neon fans can still get more than European and American music fans. For example, last year’s Neon hit “Snow Flower”, and The songs sung by Shizuka Kudo before are difficult for European and American fans to hear, and most importantly, there is no English version.
Finally, there is the literary aspect, which is what European and American fans lack the most.
Y has published novels in Neon, so Neon fans basically know that Y is a novelist, but many European and American fans don’t know that. They only know that Y is a musician and director. Yes, most of them even I don’t know that Y is still an actor, but they haven’t watched “Raise the Red Lantern” or “Green Snake”.
Of course, Jessica and the others can also understand. After all, China is the origin and center of East Asian culture, and neon is so close to China. These are all normal.
They are just a little regretful. It would be nice if the United States could be closer to China.
"It's about to begin."
Hardison's voice rang in her ears, and Jessica looked up at the TV.
Without any foreshadowing, Celine Dion’s concert started playing directly on TV.
In fact, they already knew that "All of Me" appeared at the end of the concert, but they still listened to the songs at the beginning of the concert seriously. Celine Dion's performance in this concert was indeed very good.
Until the end of the concert, Celine Dion returned to the stage dressed up and said with a smile, "The song I am going to sing next is a new song that you have never heard."
Hearing this sentence, Jessica and Hardison's expressions perked up. They knew that "all of me" was coming.
Sure enough, Celine Dion on the TV began to introduce the song, "This song is called "All of Me" and it is an episode of "About Time"..."
Hardison smiled. Celine Dion was such a good friend that she promoted Y's new movie so hard at the concert. But after her promotion, they wanted to watch it even more.
I believe that after today's concert is broadcast, more people will want to watch "abouttime".
After the introduction, Celine Dion started humming like a celestial voice.
Hearing this humming, Jessica closed her eyes and was immersed in this heavenly sound.
The melody is so good and Celine Dion’s voice is so good.
After the humming ended, Celine Dion began to sing formally.
"whatwouldidowithoutyoursmartmouth."
……
After the first line of "All of Me" came out, Harry Kane felt goosebumps rising on his body. He expected that the song would be good, but he didn't expect it to be so catchy and moving as soon as it started.
He usually doesn't watch TV, but today he stayed in front of the TV and watched the concert for more than an hour because of Y's new song.
And at this moment, after hearing the first sentence, he understood that all the waiting ahead was worth it.
And the surprise is yet to come, this song is performed impeccably from section A to section C.
After listening to the whole song, Harry Kane smiled. ABC chose to premiere this song at a great time, which happened to be Valentine's Day.
"Allofme" is indeed very suitable for Valentine's Day, especially the chorus line "'CauseallofmeLovesallofyou" is so memorable that I can't forget it after listening to it.
Even Harry Kane couldn't help but want to sing a line.
Starting from this sentence to the following paragraphs, it is especially suitable to sing to a lover, or to express love.
In fact, Harry Kane was right. After the song was played on the TV station, the chorus quickly spread, and countless people sang this song to their loved ones that day.
They may not remember how to sing the entire song, but they can remember the chorus lines.
And ABC was very considerate. Not long after the concert ended, it played "All of Me" again alone.
In fact, Sony did not authorize ABC to play the single, but ABC had the right to play the highlights. It was a sideshow. Sony naturally knew about it and turned a blind eye.
In addition to TV broadcasts, there will also be radio broadcasts. Sony will definitely charge money for this part.
For Sony and Celine Dion, this is equivalent to the release of a new single. (End of chapter)
