George was an old friend of Stanley's long-time acquaintance, and he was a frequent visitor to the pioneer village, and Stanley would occasionally invite him to come over when he found a suitable seedling. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info After Lan Li's performance of "Cleopatra" last year, Stanley actually wanted George to come and pioneer the village, but Lan Li has been running around, so he has never been able to make the trip.

Thinking of this, Stanley had a flash of inspiration, "Lan Li has also released two singles before, I don't know if you have heard it, 'Cleopatra' and 'Ophelia'. In fact, in addition, Lan Li has also performed a lot of songs in the bar, which is quite well received. By the way, the song 'Charlie Boy' mentioned by David last time was also composed by Lan Li. ”

Stanley looked at him to the left, George couldn't help frowning, obviously not satisfied with such an answer, but as the words progressed, his thoughts began to surge, and finally he simply looked directly at Lan Li, as if the surprise and irritability just now had disappeared, "'Charlie Boy' was also created by you?"

"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 name of the American army for the Vietnamese army, the lyrics call on those soldiers not to easily believe in the government/government inspiration and choose to join the army, it is a bottomless war. Through such lyrics, he opposes war and calls for peace. The song became famous in the pioneer villages.

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, while "Charlie Boy" is related to history, culture and society.

As George judged, not everyone could compose a minor key – and it was clear that Lan Li already had the ability to do so.

Although he asked a question, George did not wait for Lan Li's answer, and then said, "Whether it is 'Charlie Boy' or the song 'Los Angeles' just now, these are songs that are unlikely to be enthusiastically followed in the market. For the general public, these songs lack popular elements, lack of gimmicks of singing, and even deviate from mainstream tastes, if it was in the years when folk songs were popular, these songs may have become the darlings of Woodstock, but now it is the 21st century, and only true music lovers, only really calm down, can taste the taste of melody and lyrics. ”

George's words are still aggressive, but when he enters the professional world, his passion, his urgency, and his focus are also on display.

From contact to the present, his topic of conversation has always revolved around music, and other delicate things have never entered his sight, it can be seen that he is an incomparably pure professional musician, that is, the kind of person who can do anything for music, except for music or music in the world, it can be said that he is ignorant of the world, so he came up and Lan Li hard.

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.

"That's exactly the kind of music I want to make. George finally said his purpose, with a firmness in his bright eyes that could not be ignored, "You know, we should make such an album, completely based on history and literature, like a bard, starting from the overture to the final end, blending the comprehension of life and the bumps of life into it, and restoring the essence of music at the beginning - to express the most real and complex emotions in the human heart." ”

Looking at George's bright eyes, sincere and urgent, and his undistracted concentration was admirable, "Are you sure? I don't think there would be a record company willing to produce and release such an album." Lan Li's words also softened a little, he was always more tolerant of these people who were dedicated to their profession and their dreams, Stanley, Heather, and Eddard, who had just met. For so is he himself.

"Facts, you say the facts. "But what's the point of making an album to cater to the market? There are so many talented young producers who can always make amazing pop tracks with electronic devices, and that's also an ability, but how many people are willing to settle down and slowly polish the quality of the music and really find the soul of the music? I hope to be able to make an album like this again." Some people may think that Bob Dylan is outdated, but I firmly believe that classics are classics, and this is true in any era. ”

Lan Li couldn't argue with it.

A true classic can not only stand the test of time, but also withstand the criticism of generations, just like Michael Jackson (Michael-Jackson) and the Beatles (The-Beatles), their music has never faded, on the contrary, it has become more and more charming because of the precipitation of time.

"It's an impossible task. A smile appeared on Lan Li's face, he wondered if he would be like this thirty years later, holding outdated concepts, stubbornly and stubbornly insisting on the "stupid" dream, chattering on the skills that relied on solid polishing, 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, breathed a sigh of relief, the tense atmosphere had finally eased, and it was developing in a positive direction, which was a good thing. "If it's easy, it's not challenging, is it?"

George gave Stanley an affirmative look, tucked his chin approvingly, and continued, "I want you to finish the whole album, no, I insist that you do it all and make the album exactly how you want it to be." As the helmsman, I give a little bit of direction and give some advice on the details. The final album that I hope ......"

George thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders, "I want to be able to give people a glimpse of a part of your mind, like flipping through a huge book, maybe it looks boring, maybe it looks simple, maybe it looks puzzling, but it really reflects the essence of the soul. ”

Lan Li had to admit that in this brief conversation, he changed his wrong first impression of George, that persistence, that madness, even more determined than his pursuit of acting. It is always said that the person who sticks to his dreams, works hard, and devotes himself wholeheartedly is the most handsome or beautiful person in the world, and now, George is showing his "charm" to Lan Li.

"As for the record labels, the distribution companies...... Leave these boring questions to me, okay?" George's disgusted expression made Lan Li wonder - the record company and the distribution company were actually named such an adjective by George, which is probably the only one among music producers.

Reading between the lines, Lan Li really felt George's seniority and professionalism. Obviously, George is not a simple figure.

"But the problem is that I don't have enough time right now, and I don't have enough to create. Lan Li's words made Stanley so excited that he almost jumped, his heart pounding against his chest, his persistence all along, is it finally going to be successfully realized?" "I'm an actor, and I still have a series of work to do." Being an actor is my job. ”

Lan Li did not explain in detail, not to mention the future work arrangement, just talking about the imminent Telluride Film Festival, and the subsequent New York Film Festival, Lan Li did not have time in a short time.

"Stupid!" George was still blunt, frowning, scoffing at Lan Li's status as an actor, but this time he didn't lash out directly, "If you insist on wasting your life on meaningless things, that's your choice." Time is not an issue. We can slowly make this album, how many songs are on your current creation list? I mean, melodies and lyrics. ”

The piercing bluntness made Lan Li laugh dumbly, and the corners of his mouth were a little more helpless, but he didn't refute, "I don't know, I don't have the habit of recording creation." ”

This is the big truth, many of Lan Li's creations are scattered and not carefully recorded. The fact that the two singles "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" were recorded was also a mistake, and the other songs written during this period were not fully recorded.

George looked at Lu Li with a strange expression, and the sadness on his chest made Stanley can't help but sigh - now that George has finally realized how he has felt in the past year or so, he can't help but gloat a little.

"Don't have the habit of recording your creation?" George felt that his heart was dripping blood, for example, the song "Los Angeles" just now, although it was only a minor key, but such a wonderful minor key was even more precious, if it was simply forgotten, it would definitely be a pity for the audience, "Little one, please promise me, okay? In the future, develop the habit of recording casually, even if it is just a fragment of inspiration." In many cases, the perception of life is the source of music creation, which is the best bridge to resonate with people, and it is also the greatest charm of music. ”

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

George was congested for a while, took a deep breath, and then didn't get angry, "So, can you make a list of the songs you remember in your head first? It's better to record the score and lyrics as well, and then give them to me, how about it?"

"I'll give it a try. Lan Li said with reservations, seeing George and Stanley gasp, he had to explain, "I'm going to Telluride for the film festival the day after tomorrow." The two of them looked depressed, Lan Li turned his head and pointed to the figure standing next to the bar, "I think Ed is also good, what do you say?"
