The song "HotelCalifornia" can be said to be a masterpiece completed by the Eagle Band in the best state and the best combination, and it is also their pinnacle work, it is this diamond-level golden song that created the Eagle Band and a group of hotelCalifornia super fans.

It was ranked No. 49 on the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and No. 8 on the "100 Best Rock Guitar Soros" in 2004. Ranked 11th on the list of the 100 greatest English songs by Rolling Stone. Even because the song was so good and so successful, the fans' love for the song bordered on worship had caused them to ignore the other Eagles singles.

Such a classic song, placed in this world, can still move everyone. And Henry, who is a top rocker, is very sure that this song will become a classic in the history of rock music......!" Mr. Henry, can you have less strength?" Ye Zheng was so strangled by him that he was about to breathe, and said with difficulty.

"Oh!oh!I'm sorry!" Henry quickly let go, his face turned a little red from excitement, and his originally not fluent Chinese stammered even more: "Ye ...... Mr. Ye, let's ...... It's going to be used...... It's going to be the title song!" He took a deep breath to calm down, and his speech became smoother: "Mr. Ye, I decided that this is it! Let Mr. James talk to you about copyright, we have to go back and make arrangements immediately, I want to sing it out soon!"

"Mr. Henry, don't be in a hurry. Ye Zheng smiled: "I also have some ideas about the arrangement of this song, why don't you rehearse it in our time and space music?" "One of the amazing things about Hotel California is the way it is arranged, especially the double guitar effect. Moreover, rock bands generally rarely use pianos, and the addition of piano to the arrangement of this song is also a very important feature.

Ye Zheng is an obsessive with this song, and he wants to restore this song in its original form, and he doesn't want the Gray Sparrow Band to adapt it into another unfamiliar form. Henry hesitated slightly, but noticed that Ye Zheng's face became serious and serious.

Ye Zheng looked at Henry's eyes, his tone was serious, and he couldn't be ignored: "I want to make this song a classic, I hope you will make a wise decision! To be honest, I want you to complete the arrangement of this song in Time and Space Music, there are two reasons, first, I have to arrange this song myself, you can give opinions, but I may not accept it." Second, I just want you to mentor us rockers and impart some knowledge and experience in addition to rehearsals. If you can't do that, I won't give this song to you to sing. I think there must be a lot of people interested in such a song. ”

Henry's heart chuckled, he knew that if he missed this song, he would regret it for the rest of his life, and his teammates and the company would regret it a lot. So the hesitation in his heart was instantly put aside by him: "Okay, let's rehearse here for three days and see how Mr. Ye will arrange this song!" The score of this song has been taken out, and the members of the Gray Sparrow Band can't wait to arrange this song, and even when they read the score just now, everyone's brain has already arranged this song, and with the tacit understanding they have cultivated over the years, everyone has a deep understanding of other people, and all these ideas as long as they are put together, it is a prototype of an arrangement.

When Henry and Ye Zheng were talking, several of them were already talking in a low voice, exchanging opinions on the arrangement. Unexpectedly, Henry turned around and told them that Ye Zheng was going to take over the arrangement of this song. And it is possible to dismiss their opinions.

"What does that mean!" said guitarist Jerry, stunned, "he wrote the song, and yes, he's a very talented man." With this song, I can call him a master. But if he can write songs, he knows how to arrange music? Does he understand our style of arrangement? Is it that if he arranges music according to the form of Chinese rock arrangement, or any kind of arrangement that is not suitable for our gray sparrow, we should also sing regardless of our own style?"

"Jerry, you said something similar before you came. Henry said: "When I decided to come to Ye Zheng to write songs, you said that he was a talented person, but you didn't believe that he could write good English rock music, and it was even more difficult to write works suitable for the style of Gray Sparrow." But now, this "hotelcalifornia" is in front of us, and each of us admits that it is a good song that we haven't seen in years, and a song that is very suitable for our singing style in terms of lyrics and songs. In that case, why can't we trust him to make a very good arrangement that makes us applaud?"

"You should trust me. Ye Zheng's voice suddenly sounded, he didn't know when he came to their side, and said: "It's almost noon now, after lunch, I will start arranging this song, this afternoon, I will finish the arrangement, if you still feel dissatisfied after seeing my arrangement, you can propose." If you can really come up with better and better suggestions, I will never object to you changing my arrangement!"

When Ye Zheng said this, they had nothing to say, but everyone, including Henry, had some doubts in their hearts. Can Ye Zheng really complete the arrangement of this song in a few hours in an afternoon? The lyrics and music of this song already have such an artistic conception and profound philosophical thinking, what kind of arrangement will Ye Zheng use to add full flesh and blood and attractive skin to this exquisite skeleton? Ye Zheng invited them to a sumptuous lunch in a restaurant with Chinese specialties, accompanied by Zhou Ke and Xiao Qi, but James invited, he said that there were no women at the table, it was too monotonous.

Xiao Qi's character was originally a vase, but she had a cheerful personality and admired these people in the Gray Sparrow Band, so she chattered a lot. During the whole meal, it completely became her leading topic. And everyone present liked her a lot.

"Mr. Ye, your girlfriend is really interesting, it's your honor to have such a beautiful and lovely girlfriend!" James did not hesitate to praise Xiao Qi, but he seemed to have mistaken the relationship between Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi.

"This, Mr. James......" Ye Zheng was about to explain, but saw that Xiao Qi had already raised his wine glass and showed a bright smile to James: "Mr. James, what you said is not wrong at all. But some people don't want a beautiful and lovely girl like me......" As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Zheng with deep meaning in her eyes, and Ye Zheng smiled silently. "Oh?" James understood what Xiao Qi meant, and was very surprised: "Yes, Mr. Ye, in my opinion, Miss Xiao Qi will definitely grow into a world-class rock singer in the future, aren't you still satisfied with her?" Ye Zheng spoke directly to James very helplessly, and Xiao Qi also provoked the corners of his mouth, looking at him with playful eyes, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Emotional matters, it's not so simple......

"What's not simple!" James said: "You Chinese people just like to get entangled in some things repeatedly, which makes people have a headache. If I were you, I would definitely fall in love with Miss Xiao Qi! You Huaxia people don't pay attention to what kind of match, right? I think you two are very compatible!" James said this, Xiao Qi was looking at him again, Ye Zheng didn't know how to respond, he saw that Xiao Qi seemed to pout at him, and then said with a smile: "Mr. James, I'm joking, Mr. Ye is a person who has a girlfriend, you haven't seen his girlfriend, she is more beautiful than me!"

"Yes. Oh, that's it!" James nodded: "Then I have a chance to see what kind of beautiful girl Mr. Ye's girlfriend is, and he actually made Mr. Ye abandon the beautiful Miss Xiao Qi and waste a piece of Miss Xiao Qi's heart......" James's words have already determined that Xiao Qi gave up and failed Xiao Qi, Ye Zheng didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, in this matter, it was indeed he who gave up Xiao Qi.

"Could it be that this girl is a trust?" "Unless the variety show interview doesn't want to continue, the program team won't do this kind of thing." Zhao Huayang sighed and said: "Up to now, we have to admit that Ye Zheng is a highly talented creator who already has a top level. And I've also heard rumors that when Guo Meimei took the two people of Phoenix Legend to time and space music, they were not a group. But after Ye Zheng understood the styles of the two of them, he immediately decided to merge them into a group. and wrote the song "On the Moon" on the spot, which had to be shocking. If he writes songs on the spot, he should really have this ability. ”

"Ye Zheng ......" Long Kunnian muttered the name and said slowly: "We didn't know who he was a year ago, but at the Asian Music Festival last year, he helped Baina win several awards, and this name came into our sight." At first, we thought he would sign with Baina, but then we learned that he wrote songs for various music companies, and we thought that he might be trying to get it all sold. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, he and Zhou Ke founded Time and Space Music together. ”

The corners of Zhao Huayang's mouth also showed a wry smile: "Last year, Mai Tian relied on Ye Zheng's songs to build Yang Xudong into a first-line singer, and last year held 20 solo concerts, which can be described as infinitely beautiful." The Arirang group's album sales exceeded one million and won a platinum album. It also brought tens of millions of profits to Blue Dream Records. Peacock Music bought five of Ye Zheng's songs and put them into three albums, and industry insiders can see that the sales of those three albums are basically driven by Ye Zheng's creation. Not to mention Baina, who cooperated with him first, the economic profit brought by the three albums to Baina can reach 50 million, and Qin Ge and Song Qian have been created. It's just that Lin Wanqing's later album did not sell well, but because of this, it shows the value of the album created by Ye Zheng before. ”

After a pause, Zhao Huayang continued: "When Ye Zheng was selling songs, whoever bought his songs would definitely make money. Baina and Maitian bought, three large music companies, only our Shenlong Records did not contact Ye Zheng. Now that I think about it, I should have bought his two albums in the first place, maybe we could have cultivated one or two new stars. Of the three companies, we were the only ones who didn't create new well-known singers last year. ”

"It's nonsense, if we can know the future at any time, then life will definitely be smooth sailing. Long Kunnian said: "At the beginning, Ye Zheng found someone to co-establish a music company, but only Zhou Ke agreed, and eight out of ten people were not optimistic about them. I think the people who rejected Ye Zheng now must regret dying. Some of them are definitely no worse than Zhou Ke, but if they miss such an opportunity, they miss the position of vice chairman and production director of Time and Space Music. And it is the second largest shareholder. He reached out and picked up a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Zhao Huayang, saying: "Last year's music market was profitable, and time and space music accounted for 18% of the market share, and in the second half of the year, it accounted for 29%, and since time and space music and wheat field music reached a cooperation agreement, the data in the past two months has reached 39%.

At the same time, after cooperating with Time and Space Music, Wheat Field Music occupies 19% of the market. Together, their two music companies ate 58 percent of the pie. But we only have 14% of Time and Space Music, Baina only has 10%, and other companies share the remaining 18%. This is a statistic that we have never had. Zhao Huayang looked at the paper in his hand, and Long Kunnian continued with a serious face: "Even though the emergence of time and space music has stimulated people's consumption and expanded the music market by 30% during this period of time, the ratio between us and Baina has directly shrunk to half of the original level, and now it is less than half of the original.

Overall, our income has been cut in half. If this continues, earnings will shrink rapidly, and it won't be long before they go negative. His tone became more and more severe, pointing to Ye Zheng on the TV and saying, "We must take some measures to stop the expansion of time and space music step by step." If this development continues, the entire Chinese music market will be occupied by time and space music and wheat field music! Our Shenlong Records will definitely be crushed! Now, there are already some singers whose contracts have expired who want to change jobs or are changing jobs to time and space music. In the past two months, seven singers of Shenlong Records wanted to jump ship, three were retained by us, and two successfully jumped to time and space music. The remaining two are not wanted by other people's time and space music, and then they returned to Shenlong Records! We feel uncomfortable, but we still have to renew with kind words!"

Long Kunnian took a heavy breath: "In the past ten years, Shenlong Records has never been so aggrieved!" "It is true that some measures must be taken, but it is not easy to do." Zhao Huayang sighed: "The rise of time and space music is because they have this talented creator, who has grown up completely by strength, if you want to regain the market, you still have to launch new good albums, and at the same time create our artists through publicity and other means, and it is best to create one or two new stars." ”

"What's the name of the program that China Television Variety Channel is going to launch recently?" asked Long Kunnian. "The chief planner of "I Am a Singer" is Ye Zheng. Zhao Huayang said: "Inviting a singer who has become famous to compete on the same stage, I really don't know how he came up with such a bold and novel idea." Many people suspect that such a show is not good for singers, but I have a hunch that this show will definitely become popular, so Liu Nan and Zou Minmin from our company went to participate. Time and Space Music sent two singers to participate, which shows that Ye Zheng has strong confidence in this show. So let's send two people too, don't let such an opportunity go in vain. Ye Zheng's ability to create stars should not be underestimated, maybe he will create Liu Nan and Zou Minmin. ”

"Well, that's good. Long Kunnian nodded: "Pay attention to this matter, fully cooperate with Liu Nan and Zou Minmin's competition, let them achieve good results, and as long as they achieve good results, we will take the opportunity to hype." ”

The crew of "I Am a Singer" went to invite singers, but encountered all kinds of resistance, and many people were not optimistic about such a show. Long Kunnian and Zhao Huayang were keenly aware of the advantages of this show, and immediately asked their singers Liu Nan and Zou Minmin to sign "I Am a Singer".

Zhao Huayang suddenly remembered something again, and said: "I saw Qiu Feng a few days ago, and the situation in the Gale Music Studio during this period was miserable. They used to have a market share of about 7 percent, but now they have less than 3 percent. is not only because of the snatching of time and space music, but also after some conflicts between him and time and space music last year, which led to the loss of a group of fans. Qiu Feng poured bitter water after seeing me, and secretly accused time and space music of disrupting the market order, and said that Ye Zheng did not respect his predecessors. ”

Long Kunnian sneered: "Who doesn't know that it's him, Qiu Feng doesn't know how to hit the muzzle." He wanted to suppress Ye Zheng, but he didn't expect to become Ye Zheng's stepping stone. He ran over to find him by himself, and could he blame someone for kicking him down?" Zhao Huayang also nodded with a smile, and then said: "However, Qiu Feng showed me a meaning, he wants to cooperate with Shenlong Records." "What is there to cooperate?" Long Kunnian said: "We have dealt with him for so many years, and we have cooperated wherever we can cooperate, what else can we cooperate? Is it possible that the two companies will merge together?"

"That's what you said, that's what he meant. Long Kunnian was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Qiu Feng's brain is in water, right? Even if he is willing to put his heart and soul into it, does he really think that with his Gale Music Studio and the Ziyue Record under his umbrella, he will talk about a company merger with us? Is he qualified enough?" Zhao Huayang said: "Of course Qiu Feng knows that they are not qualified, so what he means is that if Shenlong can offer a good price, or take out a certain share, Gale Music Studio can sell it to Shenlong Records." ”

"This ......" Long Kunnian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Is that really what he said?" "That's what he said." Zhao Huayang nodded: "I almost forgot about it, but at this time, I suddenly felt that this was really a good idea." If space-time music continues to develop like this, no one can stop its rise, what we can do is to launch good works and good singers, try to grab back some market share, and then stabilize the share ratio. But in terms of the current situation, we can sing when we see it, and it won't affect me. So just when Ye Zheng was immersed in creation, Phoenix Legend watched the song score for a few minutes, and was already standing on the stage and singing this song. This song was sung by the Phoenix Legend, but it has a different charm from the original song, Zhong Wei's voice is deep, and Siqin Linghua's voice is loud.

makes this song less sad and brighter. And some of Siqin Linghua's impromptu national singing voices add a bit of special charm to it. After singing the song, when people were still immersed in the beautiful sound of the Phoenix Legend, Ye Zheng had already handed the paper in his hand to Su Momo: "Momo, you come to sing this song "I Wish You Peace", on behalf of time and space music, I will send you a blessing." A moment later, Su Momo's gentle and soft voice fluttered in the studio, floating in thousands of households and streets through the Internet and TV.

The scene of the program of "Variety Interview". When Mu Qiuyan got Ye Zheng's promise that she could compose a song on the spot, the atmosphere of the whole scene was completely ignited, and Mu Qiuyan thought for a while and said: "Because I am a senior student, I am about to graduate, separate from my classmates who have been with me for four years, and enter the society." From now on, I said goodbye to school. Well...... So, can you create on this theme?"

"It's not going to bother him. Su Momo, who had always been relatively silent, suddenly smiled: "When we graduated from high school last year, he once sang two songs with the theme of graduation in our class. These two songs have never been included in the album either. You haven't heard of it. Oh, and someone took a video, which you can search for online. "I know. It's "Friends" and "I Wish You a Happy Journey"!" Mu Qiuyan said: "I have watched that video and listened to these two songs. ”

Su Momo was surprised: "Okay, you actually watched this video and remembered the names of the two songs." It seems that you are indeed a big fan of him. Mu Qiuyan smiled embarrassedly. "Well, for the sake of you're a big fan of mine, I'm definitely not going to fool you with those two songs, and I'm going to come up with a new work that no one has ever seen before. Later, they will sing it to you first, and then give you the score. Ye Zheng smiled and asked leisurely, "Is there a stave here?" A staff member sent a pen and a few blank notations, Ye Zheng said: "You guys talk first, I'll finish it soon." ”

Then he sat there, spread the paper on his lap and began to write. Leisurely continue to chat with Xiao Qi and them, today's issue of "Variety Show Interview", because of this interaction, should be half an hour longer than usual. However, this has always been the style of "Variety Interview", its average length is about an hour, but it used to be a maximum of three hours. Ye Zheng and they extended it for half an hour, which was nothing at all.

"Manager Chen, the data shows that the ratings of our channel have broken 5 now!" Chen Hua's secretary reported to Chen Hua excitedly. The ratings of China Television Variety Channel have broken 5, reaching 5.23, that is to say, this issue of "Variety Interview" has set the highest variety show ratings in the past three years, and this data is still climbing rapidly, and it is expected to reach 5.5 before the end of the show. Chen Hua smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go out first, and report to me at any time." The secretary went out, and Chen Hua smiled at Ah Qiu and Lu Haiming, who were sitting on a sofa next to him, and said, "How about it, I just said that the ratings of this episode of the show may break five, you still don't believe it, now believe it, right?"

Lu Haiming shook his head lightly, his tone was full of exclamation: "It's really unimaginable, the highest rating of "Variety Interview" in the past was only 4.12, and under normal circumstances, it was 3.3, I originally thought that this episode of the show would increase to 4 because of Ye Zheng's existence, and it was possible to break the highest record, but I didn't expect it to exceed the record so much." With a rating of over 5, I am afraid that it will be the ratings champion of this year's variety shows. Ah Qiu also nodded: "Unless Ye Zheng breaks it himself." ”

In fact, the data twenty minutes ago was only 4.2, but when the news that Ye Zheng was going to perform live and compose a song came out on the Internet, this data surged to 5.23. Chen Hua said with a smile: "Ye Zheng is burdened with too much mystery in everyone's eyes, not only ordinary people, even if you have been with him for so many days, I can't see through him." This is also the first time she has participated in a variety show, and she has to perform a live song writing that ordinary people have never seen, so it has caused a surge in ratings, which is normal. ”
