Chapter 909 Theme Announcement
The new single is scheduled to be released after the New Year. Since there is basically no interlude in the whole song, Deng Ge directly edited out a main song during the final editing.

Compared to some previous previews, the twenty seconds or so released for the live pre-release can be said to be a very complete segment, allowing fans to listen to it as soon as possible.

Far away in Los Angeles, Aaron is a professional music critic, but in the eyes of many people he has become a fan of Jiang Yuan.

Whenever there is music news related to Jiang Yuan, Aaron will always receive a private message or @ at the first time, which is even faster than software push.

Aaron had no complaints about this, as he was genuinely interested in Jiang Yuan's works.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan is about to restart the concert encore, and Aaron is ready to make time to attend.

I just don’t know if I will receive an invitation, Aaron pondered while checking the short video that was forwarded to his private messages.

Because the video was indeed very short, only more than twenty seconds, after confirming the length, Aaron also took a look at the copy that Jiang Yuan included when he released the video.

The content of the copy was very concise, just stating that this was a special live of the new song, which would be released two days before the new song was released. Apart from that, there was a song title and 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. She was wearing a white jacket and the background was a sunny rooftop view. It looked like a song with bright colors.

While thinking, Aaron quickly pressed the play button of the video.

Finally, regarding the choice of trailer segment, Jiang Yuan and Deng Ge roughly discussed it and felt that the beginning of the song was the most appropriate.

The screen directly gave a close-up of Jiang Yuan's upper body. Without any prelude, Jiang Yuan held the microphone and began to sing.

“When the days are cold, and the cards all fold,

and the saints we see, are all made for gold
(When coldness descends upon the world, when hope dies out,

The saints we can place our hopes on are nothing more than powerless golden statues.)"

Jiang Yuan's vocals came in first, and then the accompaniment gradually began to join in. There were not many special effects, making the music sound very immersive.

Aaron closed his eyes unconsciously while listening to the song. At the beginning of the song, Jiang Yuan's singing was very calm, as if he was explaining a phenomenon in a relatively intuitive way.

“When your dreams all fail, and the ones we hail,

are the wrost of all, and the blood's run stale
(When your beautiful dream is shattered, when we can only worship the powerful,
Under the unprecedented nightmare, even the blood is gradually becoming stale)

In the opening part, Jiang Yuan set the atmosphere of the song with a short chorus. Even the sky color of the rooftop background was specially chosen to be a sky where the sun is not so bright, creating a cool scene.

Although Aaron speculates that the mood of the song will become much brighter as it progresses.

But the pity is that this is just a live trailer. It would have been great to have such a long main song released.

If you want to hear the full version, you can only wait until the live show is officially launched.

Aaron's interest was indeed piqued by this main song, but he would not recommend a trailer immediately.

I just quietly made an appointment to launch the live video.

Subconsciously, I began to feel that as the first song released from the new album in the new year, it should have some different meaning.

There are many listeners who share the same idea as Aaron. The slightly calm and low-pitched opening sounds like it is paving the way for the subsequent changes in the song.

The number of reservations for the live video that was released simultaneously gradually increased with the number of views of the trailer.

The live trailer’s playback volume increased very quickly due to its relatively short duration, and it soon became one of the most popular short videos on many social media platforms.

While Jiang Yuan was still busy with his roadshow work, he noticed the response to the trailer for "Demons," which was not too surprising.

On the one hand, Zhang Qing had previously informed her that the promotion of this new song would require a lot more investment than the previous singles. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan was also very optimistic about the song "Demons".

The song is from the band Imagine Dragons. Not only is the song popular, but both the song itself and the background of its creation 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 tracks released previously are quite close to this direction.

“The keyword for the new album should be healing.”

After one of the roadshows ended, Jiang Yuan rushed to accept an exclusive interview with a magazine and gave this answer.

"Why did you want to complete the album with this theme?" the reporter in charge of the interview further asked.

“I personally think it was a subtle influence, a theme that I found unconsciously during the album-making process.”

“Of course, the final decision to produce in this direction was also a point that our entire team felt was very good after discussion.”

"As everyone's lives are very busy right now, if you put on headphones and listen to music in your spare time, I hope everyone can draw some nutrients and energy from it."

Jiang Yuan thought about it seriously for a while and gave an answer, 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 direction of the magazine cover shoot, it also provided more 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 very smoothly.

"What a heart-warming reason! Just by hearing this introduction, I can't wait to listen to this new album. I feel it can recharge me well." The reporter also unconsciously expressed such emotion.

"I'll send 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 something that every album will have, but the production plan has not been confirmed yet." Jiang Yuan pondered and revealed the progress.

It has to be said that the studio is very efficient. When Jiang Yuan was busy with the movie, the album production team had already come up with several versions of the album design ideas and were waiting for Jiang Yuan to be free to make a decision.

"We look forward to your bringing new works to everyone. We know that you have a very popular movie currently being released during the Spring Festival, right?" The reporter praised you and shifted the topic back to the movie.

In response, Jiang Yuan nodded naturally, "Yes, I just finished my roadshow and came here."

"What do you think about the movie being so popular during the Spring Festival?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Of course there is. The most important thing is gratitude. I am very grateful that everyone came to the theater to watch our performance."

"At the same time, during the roadshow, I heard a lot of feedback from everyone, and I felt that there is still some room for improvement." Jiang Yuan briefly shared his feelings.

After roadshows in so many cities, Jiang Yuan feels that he has gained a lot.

In conversations with some viewers, I was able to realize that there were areas in the film where better work could have been done.

This made Jiang Yuan and He Jing both see a lot of room for improvement. After realizing this, they began to look forward to the filming of the next work, wanting to improve themselves in it.

Jiang Yuan did not hide this point in the interview. After all, the theme of next month's magazine was directly named "Dialogue with Oneself".

Subconsciously, Jiang Yuan became much more sincere when answering questions.

"Because the movie that is currently being shown is actually a completed work, I am naturally happy and grateful to see that the movie has achieved such a great result so far."

"At the same time, it also serves as a motivator, making us want to invest more quickly in the production of new works, in the hope of returning new works to everyone as soon as possible." Jiang Yuan looked towards the camera and said seriously.

Although magazine interviews are mostly presented in the form of text on the magazine itself.

However, since there was a camera recording nearby, Jiang Yuan's ability to capture the scene was as sensitive as ever, and he was able to express his emotions just right.

"With Detective Chinatown being such a great success, everyone hopes that you and Director He Jing can continue this style in your next work. Is this the type of movie you are preparing?"

Because they couldn't reveal any spoilers, the reporter adopted a more roundabout way of asking questions.

"Not really. This question has actually been answered at the roadshow." Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"In fact, our recent preparation progress is pretty good. So hopefully we can announce some new information to everyone soon." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and added.

The recent progress in the preparations for "The Wandering Earth" is mainly reflected in He Jing's work. According to what Jiang Yuan learned from He Jing, the entire production team of the crew has been assembled.

To achieve this, a lot of effort was put in behind the scenes. During the roadshow, Jiang Yuan noticed that He Jing needed to communicate with people by phone from time to time to send out invitations.

At the beginning, there was a slight setback, but as "Detective Chinatown 3" achieved amazing box office success during the Spring Festival, it became much easier for He Jing to get invitations.

Even many who had previously rejected invitations took the initiative to extend their olive branches after the new movie became a hit, making it a lot easier to form a team.

In addition, after a period of systematic study, He Jing has already gained his own insights on how to shoot "The Wandering Earth", so Jiang Yuan revealed this during the interview.

"We look forward to you bringing new surprises to everyone!" the reporter said enthusiastically.

The interview was not too long. It took no more than half an hour in total, and most of the questions were ones that the family members were comfortable answering.

The interview ended and the day's schedule came to an end, and it was already evening.

Around 9 p.m., more than three hours had passed since the trailer for Demons was released.

A short trailer video serves as a good warm-up for the song "Demons".

It is obvious that the public is indeed full of expectations for this song.

But you still have to wait for a while if you want to hear the full version of the song.

The next day, Jiang Yuan and the entire album production team had a heated discussion, mainly about the design of the physical album, and which songs would be filmed for MVs or arranged for live performances.

This was the second album production discussion with the entire team present. The difference from the last time was that this time Jiang Yuan had already put together a list of songs for the album.

If we talk about the last meeting, he mainly expressed his opinions based on the songs that had already been released, but in this meeting, everyone mainly judged based on the songs included in Jiang Yuan's collection.

In this way, the album production discussion will indeed make great progress. The song list and time of the entire album will be 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 recording songs and shooting MVs.

The album production team is more responsible for some visual concept designs, for example, the shooting of album pictorials and photos is an indispensable part.

After the second meeting, the production schedule was roughly planned, and the recording time was basically arranged freely by Jiang Yuan.

But visual photo shoots are more complicated. After all, the different makeup and clothing combinations for the photos still need to be carefully studied and designed by the team.

However, before that, Jiang Yuan had already shot a set of concept photos for the single "Demons".

When there was no audio source and no complete live video released, the studio also released some of the photos taken previously as promotional materials for the single.

The whole set of photos are in relatively cool 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 popular search trend around the world. Generally, when Jiang Yuan posts a nine-square grid photo like this, the data is also the best.

Until the live video was officially launched, Jiang Yuan continued to release materials every day.

In this way, time passed unknowingly and it was the day when the live video was released.
