Chapter 1012: Being Tricked
The problem is that Scott's record company is one of the largest in North America, and Jason is not an unknown 18th-tier singer. They don't need to hype themselves up in such a way that they actively sacrifice their own interests just to accumulate popularity!
On the contrary, this self-destructive hype method will seriously affect the sales of Jason's new single. His loss will be at least tens of millions of dollars, and far more than that - because Scott has invested millions of dollars in advertising fees for the song promotion, and everyone is ready, just waiting to start operating three days before the song is officially released. In addition, Scott has already paid part of the funds for the MV - if you don't pay the director and crew first, they will definitely not work.
Now, it is very likely that all this money has been wasted!
If netizens hadn't been so discerning and hadn't made all positive comments, Jason probably wouldn't have been able to suppress his rage and would have blown the roof off the recording studio!
At this time, his cell phone rang. The ringing made him even more angry. "F@#%￥k, who the f#￥%@k calls me now..." But when he saw Liu?'s caller ID, he had to suppress the rest of the curse words in his throat, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Man, are you okay?"
Amanda and the others were amazed at how quickly their boss changed his attitude and how much he valued Liu?.
Liu, who had been concentrating all her energy on quarreling with Richard in the morning, didn't know about the song leak yet. She asked Jason, "Good morning, Mr. Harmer, are you in the recording studio now? Am I disturbing your work?" When asking someone to do something for you, the most basic greetings are still required.
"No, no, I don't have to work for a while."
Liu?: “????”
...
...
She thought Jason was referring to her untimely injury, so she quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I delayed your work progress."
"It really has nothing to do with you," Jason said, unable to hold back his anger, gritting his teeth, "Damn Cohen?? Bell!"
Liu? finally realized something was wrong, "What happened to you?"
"Our new song might have been sold by him and released to the Internet in advance." The music files had been spread everywhere. Jason only took a rough look and did not carefully find the original source. He naturally inferred that the uploader of the song was the biggest beneficiary after the song was leaked. It could be a pirate or their competitor.
Liu? was shocked.
Oh my god, they're not done yet! Why is Jason having another problem...
This is simply adding insult to injury! Liu? has released several singles with Xue Yunfei and others, and she has a general understanding of the profit model of modern music. Whether it is an album or a single, it is divided into two sales channels: offline records and digital records.
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, the offline record sales of most singers are relatively bleak, but top singers like Jason are an exception. His record CDs are collectibles and are regarded as treasures by fans, so there is no worry about sales. However, the majority of sales are still digital records, that is, electronic versions of songs released on the Internet. If listeners want to listen to them, they have to pay through music software.
Liu? herself earned millions of RMB by selling several digital records such as "Listen, the Sound of the Wind" and "Flying Birds". She is not a professional singer, but an internet celebrity. At that time, her fame was not high enough, and her audience was only netizens in mainland China. However, Jason's songs were released to the whole world, which is a huge difference between more than one billion people and tens of billions of people.
Therefore, the copyright of digital records is particularly important. If the files are leaked online, who will beg for money to buy genuine music except for die-hard fans? After all, most people listen to music just for fun. If they can get a bargain without spending money, why not do it?
Liu? didn't even need to think about it to know that this was no ordinary loss!
"Why would he do that?"
"I don't know!" Jason really felt fucked. He and Cohen have been working together for nearly ten years. He considers them to be very good friends. Although they do have different opinions in some aspects, this does not hinder their common pursuit of music. Scott treats Cohen well. Cohen is the highest-paid music producer in the company.
Jason found it hard to believe that he had betrayed them.
