The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1473 Secret Weapon
Surprise!

A hidden surprise once again disrupted Mike's plans, and he was once again caught in a storm of inspiration.

"I'm not sure. Maybe we need to discuss it." Anson's eyes showed a faint smile. As he spoke, he turned around and placed his hands on the black and white keys again. His fingertips fell and he began to play -

It's obviously all piano, and the same instrument has been used from the first song to now. Logically speaking, the melody texture and characteristics presented should be almost the same.

However, this is not the case.

The first two songs and the last two songs present different emotional textures, evolving from faint sadness and relieved hums to surging release and wanton catharsis. It's not just the melody, the rhythm and style are also different.

At this moment, it is like the golden sunlight shining down in the early morning of midsummer, slowly dispersing the fog, and the world is shrouded in a gorgeous hazy halo. The vigorous vigor and tenacious vitality proudly bloom in the melody, not ostentatious or dazzling, but dancing happily in the notes lightly and joyfully.

Completely different!

Completely different!

The shock came over me layer by layer, and the touching moments filled my heart.

Stunned and dumbfounded.

Mike thought he was mentally prepared, but he surrendered again.

Surprise, 100% surprise, a surprise that is enough to make "Wake Me Up" pale in comparison. In an instant, all the thoughts and distractions in the mind disappeared, and I was completely drawn into the world of music, wandering freely and roaming around.

I never expected that the biggest surprise of the day would be left for the last!
Suddenly, Mike realized that he had never taken the initiative today.

Review the whole process of today.

Step by step, Anson pushed forward layer by layer. After the shock and impact had created waves, and after Mike and Dustin had been completely overwhelmed, he threw out the last surprise, giving a crucial blow that overturned all the beliefs and ideas accumulated so far.

Then, he fell completely into Anson's trap and was unable to fight back.

I have to say, it’s amazing!
If you think about it carefully, everything was arranged. From the moment Anson accidentally passed by, no, from the moment Anson cut off contact in the past few months, the initiative has been firmly in Anson's hands. Warner Records has no chance at all -

This is a good thing.

Of course, the shock still existed objectively, and Mike became more and more convinced that Sony Columbia might have provoked someone it shouldn't have provoked; but from another perspective, since Anson was in full control of the initiative, it meant that Anson was ready to sign the contract and give the first opportunity to bid to Warner Records.

This is opportunity.

Everyone thought that Anson had no chance against Sony Columbia; now it seems that Sony Columbia may still not realize what kind of opponent it is facing, and the whole Hollywood has been blinded by the illusion that the person in front of them is just a vase.

vase?

Ha ha.

However, it is not Sony Columbia that needs to worry now, but Warner Records itself.

So, how should they seize the opportunity.

“Mike…”

The call in his ear dragged Mike back to reality from his turbulent thoughts. Turning around, he saw Dustin's face distorted by excitement. His slightly red eyes were full of expectation and pleading, as if he might cry in the next second.

More powerful than words.

If Warner Records didn't keep Anson today, Dustin might really explode on the spot.

The pressure is huge. So, what should they do?
Mike was trying to form his words, hastily grasping an idea, "So, is this your personal experience this time?"

Anson just laughed out loud.

Mike spread his hands, trying to stay relaxed, and made a little joke, "The emotional color of this song is completely different from the previous two songs. It is full of happiness, joy, happiness and freedom. I believe that every listener who listens to this song should have a question, is Anson in love?"

Anson smiled, "Sometimes we are in love, sometimes we are in a cold war, and sometimes we break up. The emotional journey of this album is very rich."

Mike caught the teasing in Anson's words, "Otherwise, this is also a story about friends?"

A chuckle welled up in Anson's chest. "Correct answer. This is also a story about a friend."

Mike was still trying to lighten the atmosphere with jokes and find some breathing time, but Dustin could no longer contain the joy and happiness surging in his chest, "Anson?"

Dustin looked at Anson eagerly, his mind full of turbulent emotions, and it took him a while to realize that he had no idea what to say.

Like an idiot.

But Dustin didn't mind.

Idiot means stupid, but also means simple.

If he is treated as an idiot but can maintain a pure heart that loves music, and can still find the beauty and happiness of music in a world where people pursue entertainment to death over profit, why should he mind?
Everyone wants to be smart, but can intelligence really bring happiness?
If possible, Dustin would rather stay like this.

Taking a deep breath, Dustin managed to regain his sanity, "So, what is this?"

"It's not folk, it's not rock, it's not pop... I, uh, I never knew you wanted to make music like this."

Dustin felt at a loss for words, unsure how to express himself accurately.

Perhaps, all he has is a sincere heart.

This made Anson smile, "Are the subject matter and genre really that important? To me, music is just music."

“It’s because people keep adding to classical music over and over again that new generations of young people are starting to refuse to listen to classical music.”

"Nowadays, classical music often means rigid, traditional, old-fashioned, backward, outdated, and pedantic, and even people in the record industry are no exception; however, is it really so? Music is music, and the emotions and energy contained in classical music will not disappear just because of the different types. If we continue to bind ourselves with these labels, the only ones who will lose in the end are ourselves."

“This is the music I’m going to make.”

It’s not the subject matter, it’s not the genre, it’s the melody that truly comes from the soul.

Johnny Cash was like that.

He combined country and swing music, interpreted black music as a white person, broke boundaries, explored the soul of music, and made people feel the essence of music. This was the magic weapon that made Johnny Cash stand out in the star-studded 1960s.

It's not just the August 31st band.

From the moment Anson met Miles and his friends on the streets of New York, he had already started on this pioneering and innovative path.

Now, we go a step further.

"Of course, I understand what you mean." Anson changed the subject, "You can't be so capricious when making an album. Even an experimental album should have its own context and soul. If the style, type, and creativity are not unified, there is no way to talk about the integrity of the album."

“So, this song will not be included in the album.”
