Chapter 339: Can't Do It
Shao Hongsleeve agreed to Ye Zheng's request to serve as the chief instructor of this orchestra, but she still stated that she would not participate in the arrangement of the performance, etc., what she wanted to do was to guide and improve the performance level of the orchestra members. And two days later, four beauties from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music arrived. I don't know if Shao Hongsleeve wants to show his own characteristics, these four girls' good musical instruments are guzheng, erhu, flute, and pipa. Subsequently, Dai Sumei also sent a disciple of hers, who was naturally good at the dulcimer. Later, Yu Chunfang, an invited erhu instructor, came with two students. At this time, with Xia Yulian, who had already passed the test, there were already eight people in the orchestra.
Ye Zheng intended to also form a women's twelve orchestra of the same name, so he wanted to make up twelve people. In fact, the number of members of the 12 women's bands in the previous life was thirteen. At this time, Ye Zheng thought of the senior sisters of his alma mater, so he went to Huaxia University of the Arts and successfully selected two senior sisters from the Academy of Arts, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of his alma mater for half a year, and cultivating two national instrumental music stars for his alma mater in the future. Subsequently, he checked the list of winners of some competitions and successfully invited two girls with rich experience and awards. At this point, twelve people have been gathered.
Two pieces of guzheng, three pieces of erhu, one bamboo flute, two flutes, three pieces of pipa, and one dulcimer form the twelve women's orchestras in this world. Because of Shao Hongsleeve's help, it took only a week to form and sign the contract. Subsequently, they entered the intense rehearsal of the first album, in addition to selecting the three pop songs of "Like Water Flowing Year", "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", and "A Curtain of Dreams", they are also preparing to add three instrumental solo pieces of "Fishing Boat Singing Night", "Gusu Xing", and "Empty Mountain Bird Language". The first three pieces of pop music were performed by the Women's Twelve Orchestra, while the remaining three instrumental solos were performed by Shao Hongsleeve as "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" and "Gusu Xing", and Yu Chunfang played "Empty Mountain Bird Language".
Considering that there is still Dai Sumei, Ye Zheng took out a famous dulcimer song "Glimpse of Water Town". Of course, Shao Hongsleeve, who had been shocked by songs such as "Fishing Boat Singing Night" taken out by Ye Zheng, was surprised again. It was extremely rare to think that he could compose a piece for four instruments. But he didn't expect him to understand the dulcimer again in a blink of an eye. And Dai Sumei, who got the score, was even more overjoyed and happy, and asked Ye Zheng with a smile if she had a girlfriend, and she also had a niece of the same age as Ye Zheng who happened to be studying in Yanjing...... The first album still has to use the fame of their three masters to drive the fame of the Twelve Women's Orchestra. Then they started with the second album and let them play the whole album completely independently. The current three pieces of pop music are also a test and training for these young girls.
After finishing this matter in one go, Ye Zheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he was told by Coco Zhou that a rock band came from the United States and wanted to meet Ye Zheng. The Gray Sparrow Band is now one of the most famous rock bands in the United States and the world. Since its creation in 2002, they have released five albums one after another, each of which has sold more than 300W copies, and the highest one even reached 770W, which is also their album that became famous around the world. One of the world's most famous rock bands, this year it will be touring 50 concerts around the world.
The first seven stops of this global tour are in China. Of the seven concert stops, Yanjing was the last stop, and it was a complete success, and everywhere it went, it was unprecedentedly popular, and the concert tickets were sold out as early as last year. According to speculation, the Gray Sparrow Band's gold in China has reached 500 million. It made domestic artists blush. No way, as a world-famous powerful and veteran rock band, the Gray Sparrow Band has accumulated a large number of fans in more than ten years. Especially in China, those years happened to be the withering period of local rock music in China. Several foreign rock bands, represented by the Gray Sparrow Band, took advantage of this opportunity to occupy the rock music market in China on a large scale.
It has cultivated a large number of loyal fans. In recent years, these rock bands seem to have reached a tacit understanding and have taken turns to come to Huaxia to hold concerts to attract money. This is also the third tour of the Grey Sparrow Band in China. The Grey Sparrow Band is an idol in the hearts of many rockers, even the Black Butterfly Band and the Tang Dynasty Band are no exception, but Li Jian is not very interested in them. Ye Zheng didn't expect to intersect with them, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative to come and see him.
He couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, but for such a big-name band, he naturally had to pay attention to it. If you can carry out some business cooperation and reach some consensus with the music company behind the gray sparrows, it will be a great thing for the current time and space music. Although Ye Zheng, a talented creator, has attracted the attention of the global music industry, the influence of time and space music's artists and singers in Europe and the United States is still very limited.
If Time and Space Music wants to be in line with international standards, it must vigorously expand the production of singer albums to the international stage, and at the same time, it must also seek cooperation with singers and music companies in Europe and the United States. In the reception room of Time and Space Music, Ye Zheng and Zhou Ke met with the five members of the Gray Sparrow Band and James, the manager of Kinkley Records, to which they belonged. The Black Butterfly Band and Li Jian also came, there was such an opportunity, the famous Gray Sparrow Band was here, and Ye Zheng also wanted Xiao Qi and them to learn more things from the Gray Sparrow.
Without a translator, James spoke Chinese fluently. Even several members of the Gray Sparrow Band have some understanding of Chinese, can stumble to express some simple meanings in Chinese, and can roughly understand what Ye Zheng and they say. This has to be thanks to the world, the strength of China's comprehensive national strength, the expansion of China's economy, business and culture to all parts of the world, and foreigners all over the world have to learn Chinese in order to better contact with China.
The countrymen of this world can also easily go abroad without knowing English, and some public signs in almost every country will have Chinese, and even many foreign businesses will add Chinese logos to their brand trademarks. For example, in large countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, basically in any large and medium-sized city, you can meet people who can communicate with you in Chinese. Therefore, the strength of a country's overall national strength is extremely important to the country's citizens.
After chatting for a while, Ye Zheng learned that the purpose of their coming was to see Ye Zheng. Although the influence of time and space music in the international arena is still extremely limited. Ye Zheng's fame has already alarmed many colleagues in the creative world. Such a person who moves all kinds of classic songs out like a cabbage makes others have to notice him. If Ye Zheng has the most extensive influence in the world, it is still the five rock albums created by Ye Zheng, and the Black Butterfly Band and the Tang Dynasty Band are actually the two most influential bands in the world today.
Therefore, Ye Zheng's ability to create rock songs has also been recognized by people in the rock industry through these five albums, and it is generally believed that Ye Zheng is a powerful genius of rock music. And the purpose of the Gray Sparrow Band to visit Ye Zheng was to ask Ye Zheng to try to write a song for them. The reason for this is that the Grey Sparrows are preparing their sixth album and have already decided on a few songs, only to find that none of these songs can be used as the title song and the soul of the entire album. That is, the lack of classics.
Later, the production team also invited several creative masters in the rock industry to write songs, and although they also wrote two good songs, they were not qualified for the role of the title song. Because the Grey Sparrow is now secretly competing with another rock band in the United States, the results of the next two bands' new albums will be an important indicator of whether this competition wins or loses. In order to win, Kinkley decided to create an album of classic hits for the Grey Sparrows that could last for decades. In fact, the songs in it are already very good, but they are still not satisfied.
With such confidence in Ye Zheng, James is also looking forward to the song Ye Zheng is writing. Half an hour later, Ye Zheng walked out of the room with a piece of paper in his hand. At this time, the room was already much quieter, and Li Tong and the others also calmed down, chatting with the members of the Gray Sparrow in a low voice, asking some questions. When Ye Zheng walked back, everyone's eyes were focused on him, to be precise, on the piece of paper in his hand.
James couldn't wait to run over: "Mr. Ye, it's done?" Ye Zheng nodded, handed the paper in his hand to James, James said thank you and walked quickly to Henry's side, and several people from the gray sparrow also surrounded him, and several people looked at the song intently...... A moment later, a barrage of exclamations rang out in the room.
"Wonderful!" "ummate!" Henry excitedly walked up to Ye Zheng with the song sheet, hugged Ye Zheng tightly, and shouted: "it!" HotelCalifornia, translated into Chinese as "Hotel California".
If you like English songs, if you like rock music, it's impossible not to know this signature song from the Eagles "Hotel California", this unprecedented super super, world-class, diamond gold song full of weird and moving melodies, the most famous pop music work of the 20th century.
