George is an old friend Stanley has known for many years. He is also a frequent visitor to Pioneer Village. Stanley occasionally finds suitable seedlings and invites George to come and see him. After Renly performed "Cleopatra" last year, Stanley actually wanted George to come to the Pioneer Village, but Renly had been running around, so he was never able to make it.

Thinking of this, Stanley's inspiration flashed, "Len Li also released two singles before. I don't know if you have heard them,'Cleopatra' and'Ophelia'. In fact, other than that. In addition, Lan Li has performed a lot of songs in the bar, which are well received. By the way, the song "Charlie Boy" mentioned by David last time was also created by Lan Li."

Stanley looked at him from left, and George frowned. He was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, but as the words progressed, his thoughts began to surge, and finally he looked directly at Lan Li, as if just now. The surprise and irritability have disappeared, "You also created'Charlie Boy'?"

"Charlie Boy" is a song written by Lan Li a long time ago. The theme is based on the Vietnam War. Charlie Boy is the original name of the US military for the Vietnamese army. The lyrics urge those soldiers not to believe the government's call and choose to join the army. It was a bottomless war. Use such lyrics to oppose war and call for peace. This song is famous in the pioneer village.

Although Stanley didn't have much information in his words just now, it was enough for George. The titles "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" are both stories related to Shakespeare and history; "Charlie Boy" is related to history, culture and society, plus The "Los Angeles" minor tune performed by Lan Li just now is enough to get a glimpse of Lan Li's cultural heritage and creative source.

Just like George's judgment, not anyone can create minor tunes—obviously Renly already has such an ability.

Although he asked a question, George didn't wait for Renly's answer, and then said, "Whether it is'Charlie Boy', or the song'Los Angeles' just now, these are all songs that are unlikely to be popular in the market. For the general public, these songs lack popular elements, gimmicks to sing, and even deviate from mainstream appreciation. If it were in the years when folk songs were popular, these songs might become Woodstock's darlings, but now It’s already the 21st century, and only true music lovers can taste the flavor in the melody and lyrics only when they really calm down."

George's words still have an aggressive posture, but after entering the professional field, his enthusiasm, his urgency, and his focus have also been shown.

From the time of contact to the present, his conversation topics have always been around music. Other meticulous and terminal things have never entered his line of sight. It can be seen that he is an extremely pure professional musician, just for the sake of Music can be a desperate person. Apart from music, music is still in the world. It can be said that they are not well-versed in the world, so they fought hard with Lan Li when they came up.

In fact, the same is true for Lan Li. Whether it is the "Pacific War" crew or the "Buried alive" crew, he is engrossed in the world of performance, and other trivial matters have no meaning.

"This is exactly the music I want to make." George finally expressed his purpose, with a firmness that cannot be ignored in his piercing eyes. "You know, we should make such an album. History and literature as the background, like a bard, from the beginning of the overture to the final ending, the comprehension of life and the bumps of life are blended in to restore the original essence of music-expressing the most true and most true deep in the human heart Mixed emotions."

Looking at George’s bright eyes, sincere and urgent, his mindless focus is admirable, "Are you sure? I don't think there will be a record company willing to produce and release such an album." Lan Li said. Slightly softened, he has always been more tolerant of people who are dedicated to their profession and their dreams. Stanley is like this, Heather is like this, and so is Ed who just met. Because he himself is the same.

"Facts, you are telling the truth." George admitted frankly without any rhetoric. "But what's the point if an album is made to cater to the market? There are now an endless stream of talented young producers. They always It is possible to use electronic equipment to produce amazing popular music, which is also a kind of ability; but how many people are willing to calm down, slowly polish the quality of music, and really find the soul of music? I hope to produce it again Such an album. Some people may think that Bob Dylan is outdated, but I firmly believe that a classic is a classic, and it is the same in any era."

Lan Li could not refute.

The true classics can not only withstand the test of time, but also withstand the faults of generations. Just like Michael-Jackson and The-Beatles, their music has never faded. On the contrary, it became more fascinating because of the precipitation of time.

"This is an impossible task." A smile appeared on Lan Li's face. He was thinking, 30 years later, would he be like this, holding outdated concepts, stubbornly and stubbornly. Persevering in the "stupid" dream, insisting on the skill honed with solid reliance, and then gradually falling behind the process of the entire era because of paranoia.

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Seeing Lan Li's smile, Stanley, who was sitting next to him, let out a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere was finally relieved and he was moving in a positive direction, which was a good thing. "If it's simple, it won't be challenging, is it?"

George gave Stanley an affirmative look, closed his jaw in approval, and then continued, "I hope you can complete the creation of the entire album, no, I insist on you to complete all the creation, exactly according to your ideas. To build this album. As the helm, I will give a little direction and give some suggestions on the details. The album that is finally presented, I hope..."

George thought about it for a while, then shrugged, "I hope that people can glimpse part of your thoughts, just like reading a great book. It may seem boring, it may seem simple, or it may seem very different. Understand, but it truly reflects the essence of the soul."

Lan Li had to admit that in this brief conversation, he changed his wrong initial impression of George, that persistence and madness, even more determined than his pursuit of acting skills. People always say that people who insist on dreams, work hard, and are fully committed are the most handsome or beautiful people in the world. Now, George is showing his "charm" to Lan Li.

"As for the record company, the distribution company... these boring questions, please leave it to me, okay?" George's disgusting expression made Renly smile—the record company and the distribution company were actually crowned by George. With such an adjective, this is probably the only one among music producers.

Between the lines, Lan Li really felt George's seniority and professionalism. Obviously, George is not a simple character.

"But the problem is that I don't have enough time or enough to create." Lan Li's words made Stanley so excited that he was about to jump up, his heart slammed into his chest, his persistence, is it finally Want to achieve it successfully? "I am an actor, and there is a series of work to be done next. The actor is my job."

Renly did not explain in detail, not to mention the work arrangements in the future, just to mention the imminent Telluride Film Festival and the New York Film Festival afterwards, Renly would not have time in a short time.

"Stupid!" George was still outspoken, frowned, and sneered at Lan Li as an actor, but this time he didn't directly criticize him again. "If you insist on wasting your life on meaningless things, it's you. The choice. Time is not a problem. We can make this album slowly. How many songs are there on your current creation list? I mean, there are both melody and lyrics."

The piercing frankness made Lan Li laugh dumbly, and the corners of his mouth were a little helpless, but he did not refute, "I don't know very well, I don't have the habit of recording creation."

This is the truth. Many of Lan Li's creations are scattered and not carefully recorded. The two singles "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" were able to be recorded, but it was a blunder. Other songs created during this period were not fully recorded.

George looked at Lu Li with an unbelievable expression~lightnovelpub.net~ The sadness on his chest made Stanley smile—now George finally realized how he felt over the past year, he couldn't help being a little bit. gloat.

"There is no habit of recording creation?" George felt that his heart was dripping blood. For example, the song "Los Angeles" just now, although it was only a minor tune, but such a skillful minor tune is even more precious, if it is simply forgotten. , That’s definitely a pity for the listeners, "Little guy, please promise me? In the future, develop the habit of recording easily, even if it’s just an inspirational clip. In many cases, life’s perception is the source of music creation, which is related to people The best bridge to resonate with each other is also the greatest charm of music."

Lan Li shrugged, noncommittal.

George was heartbroken and took a deep breath. Then he didn't get angry. "So, can you make a list of the songs you remember in your mind? It's best to record the scores and lyrics, and then give them to me, how about ?"

"I'll give it a try." Lan Li said with reservations, seeing the appearance of George and Stanley taking a breath, he had to explain, "I will go to Telluride to attend the film festival the day after tomorrow." The two people looked depressed, Lan Li turned his head and pointed at the figure standing next to the bar, "I think Ed is also good, what do you think?"
