Chapter 637: An Invitation from the Los Angeles Fire Department
"Jimmy, is this really the song you wrote?"
Bambo looked at Liu Lang with a ghostly look.
"Well, last year, when I was walking in the fields in my hometown, I was attracted by the scenery around me, so I came up with this song, and everyone thinks it's okay!"
"If this song can only be considered okay, then there is no song that can be considered okay, and I think this song The Sounds Of Silence can be a world-class famous song, and it deserves it!"
"That's right, this song is so good, Jimmy, you play it again, I'll make sure to record it!"
There was no way, at the request of everyone, Liu Lang played again, and six or seven people, including Ban Bo, took pens to write down the score, as for the others, they didn't have this ability, after all, they were not music students.
"Great, Jimmy, this piece can be used as a repertoire for our musical, and it won't be worse than Edelweiss, it's an original track, once it spreads, it will even attract professional musicians, and then you will be famous, then our music club will be famous too, great!"
Their opera is the sound of music, although the script has been changed a little, but the music is still the same as the original movie, after all, the songs in it are all classics, even if they can create some songs, it is far inferior to the original, but Liu Lang's level of this piece is higher than the original, and it is no problem to become a world famous song.
"These guys, using my world-famous songs as opera repertoire, do you really think your opera can be performed on Broadway?"
Liu Lang now wants to establish his own entertainment company, not to accompany these young people to play at the school level.
"Bamber, I want to see what level of your music is, can you play a tune?"
Liu Lang asked rhetorically.
“…………!”
This stopped them all.
In terms of performance level, Liu Lang can only be regarded as ordinary, as long as the people present can play the piano, they are basically better than him, but in terms of creation, the song just now is not comparable to everyone combined.
To be able to create world-class tunes, it doesn't take much, just one piece can be called a musician, so in the eyes of Ban Bo and these people, Liu Lang's musical attainments have surpassed them in a short period of time, and now musicians want to see their performance level, which is really a bit of a class axe.
"Jimmy, our level...... Well, okay, come on, Brewer, Donna, let's play an edelweiss!"
Of course, the opera company had its own orchestra, with fifteen people in total, Bambo playing the cello and conductor, six violins, a piano, three trumpets and a drum, and the remaining three singing and harmonizing.
These people did not hesitate to play the famous song Edelweiss under the baton of Bambo.
How so?
The level of these people should not be low, everyone has a certain foundation, otherwise they would not become members of the Stanford University Opera Troupe, but they are much worse than majors, and this level can only be played at the university level.
Liu Lang's plan is to set up a small band first, and then release some classic tracks, which will definitely attract everyone's attention at that time, and then set up a company around this band, based on the songs in his head, and become famous in one fell swoop, the process will be very fast, because there are all kinds of music charts in the United States, what Golden Melody Awards, platinum records, Billboards, etc., and the most famous is the Grammy Awards, these awards only need to take one or two to become famous.
But now it seems that the students at Stanford University are not at this level, and the amateur players will never be able to compete with the professional players.
Now there is no news about Ye Jinsheng on Hong Kong Island, it seems that he is not ready to develop in the United States, of course Liu Lang will not blame him, he has established his own entertainment kingdom on Hong Kong Island, as long as he manages it well, it will definitely grow in the future, let him put down everything and run to the United States to start over from scratch, of course, he will have a lot of concerns.
Of course, Liu Lang will not run the entertainment company himself, just like Sheng Tang, it is enough to be only responsible for the creation of this part, anyway, the CIA will also find himself, but since it is his own company, he naturally has to use his own people, if Ye Jinsheng does not come, then he can only retreat and let Lucas find some professionals to manage it with his connections in Hollywood.
It's a bit of a head-scratcher.
Liu Lang nodded while thinking.
"Well, yes, yes, good!"
Hearing Liu Lang's praise, everyone was a little embarrassed.
In this way, Liu Lang joined the opera troupe, but he had few roles, and with a song that became famous, the people in the opera troupe respected him very much, unless it was to rehearse his repertoire, otherwise they would not "trouble" him.
In this way, another half a month has passed, and Liu Lang's life is still the same as before, absorbing knowledge every day.
On this day, he had just arrived at the school when he was stopped by the dean, Professor Phelps.
"Jimmy, the LA Fire Department is coming for you, right in my office!"
"They're coming for me again?
Liu Lang asked.
"Two years ago, there was a fire at the Sears Hotel in Los Angeles, which killed five people and 11 people suffered severe burns, including a six-year-old boy who lost his left leg, Louis Wayne, a six-year-old child who was incapacitated and even adults could not stand it.
But don't look at him small, but he is very optimistic, and after losing his leg, he also touched many people with a smile, and even the Los Angeles Times opened a column for him, publishing his latest news every other week, this column called "Come on Wayne" has made little Wayne have hundreds of thousands of readers in more than a year, received thousands of letters, and has become a very famous star, even Hollywood stars sometimes go to see him.
Little Wayne is going to school this year, and the Los Angeles Fire Department is going to have a school ceremony for him to motivate him, and they want to invite you to join Wayne's school ceremony!"
Phelps replied.
"Oh!"
So that's it!
As Professor Phelps said, Liu Lang had read this "Come on Wayne" column in the Los Angeles Times, and every once in a while he would publish some photos and texts of Wayne, of course, all of them healthy and uplifting, such as photos of him playing basketball with his brother in a wheelchair, and photos of him climbing mountains with prosthetic limbs.
This little column is very inspirational, and it has inspired many children and even adults, and seeing that even a disabled child is so optimistic, what reason do those able-bodied people have not to work hard? Therefore, the Los Angeles Times has achieved very good results in launching this small column, and it can be regarded as a good marketing method.
Liu Lang and the Los Angeles Fire Department of course have a good relationship, they will give them the patent of the fire ladder for free, I heard that in less than half a year, this new type of ladder has been made tens of thousands, not only the Los Angeles Fire Department, the surrounding states or cities have also been replaced with new ladders, Liu Lang's invention has now saved hundreds of lives, the fire department invited him to participate in the child's entrance ceremony is also a respect for Liu Lang.
Liu Lang and Phelps came to the dean's office, and there were two people sitting in the room, very powerful in uniform, one of them was the deputy director of Banksy who came to Liu Lang last time.
