Chapter 366, "Hotel California"!

Walking into the fully enclosed recording studio behind with Jack, Jiang Lun was once again shocked by the technical power of the American imperialists.

The layout of the entire recording studio is very comfortable and reasonable, and almost all the equipment is high-end products from major manufacturers.

Many domestic recording and production in China are still using Nissan's recording equipment, and here, Nissan goods are completely garbage, and the operation design on some mixers can be meticulous, which is not only a music problem, but also related to a country's science and technology.

When Rainy Day Music built a recording studio, those equipment cost Liu Xia Yu more than 100 million yuan, but if the equipment of this DDF music factory is copied back to China, I am afraid that one billion yuan will not be enough.

The office area outside the studio is similar to the living room at home, giving people a comfortable feeling as soon as you enter the door, and the completely soundproof decoration makes it impossible to hear a little manic music outside.

Seeing Jiang Lun come in, four foreigners in the house stood up and walked forward with a smile, one of them was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was Abel Greenberg as Jack just said, a famous Jewish music composer and producer, and a member of a smash hit band in the United States when he was young.

He was the first to come up and shook hands with Jiang Lun kindly.

"Hey, Jaron, I've finally met you, I didn't expect you and Jack to be friends too!"

"Hello senior, I've heard your name for a long time, and I've been looking forward to meeting you, and today I finally fulfilled this dream!" Jiang Lun said with a smile on his eyebrows.

Abel put his hand in his pocket, his expression was relaxed, and he turned to introduce the other three to Jiang Lun, he first pointed to a yellow-haired man younger than him and said, "This is Charles Dewey, one of my partners!"

"Hello!" Jiang Lun took the initiative to reach forward, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hello, Jaron, welcome!"

Dewey is a very handsome young man, who never looks more than thirty years old, but Jiang Lun is a little blind to foreigners, if they don't blow up their age, Jiang Lun can't guess how old the other party is.

The other two, one named Ulysses Owen, a studio assistant, wore a baseball cap, a pair of glasses, and a big red nose. The other, Bourne Anderson, was a classmate of Dewey, and they ran the studio together.

Through Abel's introduction, Jiang Lun and these people got to know each other further, and learned that the rehearsal room outside was rented by the hour, and there were several rehearsal rooms in this music factory, the largest one was the one he passed by when he just came in.

"There's an open-air concert every night in the square in front of us, and it's the birds rehearsing outside that have their show tonight. ”

Abel said to Jiang Lun, "I'll introduce you to them later, I basically play music here as my friends, and there is a Chinese band, but they went to Las Vegas these days, and when they come back, I will introduce you to get to know them." ”

"I'm really looking forward to hearing them perform!" Jiang Lun said.

"Of course you can!" Abel smiled happily, "Then we won't eat at home, there are many delicacies in the square, I can take you to taste the local delicacies!"

"Okay!" Jiang Lun nodded.

Byrne on the side interjected, "Jaron, you have to be prepared, the restaurants there are run by Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Italians, and French, and Americans only have fast food, I think you must have seen a lot of them on the streets of China." ”

Jiang Lun knew that it might be a hot dog burger sandwich, but it didn't matter what he ate, the important thing was that he wanted to see an exotic music performance.

It was still early, everyone sat down, chatted, and talked about the production of Jiang Lun's new album.

Jiang Lun is going to record an album for the world this time, not only in China, but also in dozens of countries around the world, especially in English, French and Italian-speaking regions, which are all strategic scopes.

As for the overseas distribution company, Jiang Lun himself wanted to give it to the Rhine sisters, but judging from today's negotiations with Robert, this step has to be slowed down, and of course he doesn't plan to find another family, unless Rhine completely refuses.

This is not only Jiang Lun's step towards the world, but also a step for Yida to go international, Yida has long had ambitions to enter the international entertainment market, and earlier discussed the acquisition with an American film company, but the negotiation was not successful, and now if you want to make a comeback, you rely on Jiang Lun's step.

"Don't worry, I have produced music from many big-name singers here, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"

Abel smiled humorously, "You just need to prepare the song and the money!"

The other party was so direct, Jiang Lun didn't talk about any obscurity, and said at the moment, "There are songs, and there is money, but I want to know how long it will take to make the whole album!"

"Then it depends on how many songs you have, are you doing them all here?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Lun said, "But in addition to English songs and Chinese songs, there are two songs in French and Italian songs on this album, so I have to find a language teacher first, study hard, and then find someone to write the lyrics." ”

"Oh!" Abel said, "it doesn't matter, I can make the arrangement for you anyway, and you can take your time in the recording and post-production." ”

"Then it's such a pleasant decision, I'll send you the sample later!"

"How many songs are there?"

"Seven new songs!"

These seven songs are very famous songs in the other world carefully selected by Jiang Lun, and they are very widely sung in overseas countries and in China.

It also includes two Michael Jackson songs, and he can have the opportunity to enter the world today, relying on Michael Jackson's songs, so the new album will inevitably choose two of his works.

In addition, there is a song with a chorus of men and women, and the boys' part is rap - that's right, it's the song of Mu Ye, this time when he came abroad, he also wanted to find a female singer with strong international influence to sing together, but this has to rely on Li Qing.

Jiang Lun brought the seven samples this time, there are no lyrics, all of them are "lalalala", or "na, na, na", especially those two French and Italian songs, he still has to find a way to get the lyrics, and no one will suspect it, but ...... He's got a brilliant idea.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sun sets.

Jiang Lun, Li Qing, and Abel walked out of the studio and walked towards the square.

went with the Flying Bird Band, these people Jiang Lun only remembered the name of the lead singer.

Southern California has a mild climate all year round, and it's the rainy season in January, when it's snowing heavily in the country.

Although it is located in the city of Santa Monica, its proximity to the suburbs means that the square is surrounded by shops, restaurants and hotels, and many tourists from outside the city.

Everyone found an open-air table near the stage of the square, and a group of people sat down.

Some locals took the initiative to come over to greet Abel and others, and Abel and they naturally introduced Jiang Lun to these friends, and when everyone heard that Jiang Lun in front of them was Jharon who sang "We-are-the-world", they all came forward to communicate with him and take photos with a look of surprise.

Of course, there are also calm, saying "Oh, it turned out to be him", and then ...... There is no then.

A short time later, the waiter brought beer and food, two plates per person, a steak, a little potato strips, a little onion rolls and a little lettuce, and that was the food for tonight.

The stage in the square is full of performances throughout the day, but those with a little strength are lined up after the evening.

Like the Birds, although they are not celebrities, they are very famous in the local area, and they produce their own music and play live.

Watching them perform on stage, this is not at all comparable to the rock bands at those music festivals in China.

Sometimes a roaring scream can bring the audience to a high tide.

"Such an awesome band, why don't you sign a record company?" Jiang Lun couldn't help but ask Abel.

Abel smiled, "They don't want to accept commercialization, they only live for music, and they can live on these performances anyway." ”

Jiang Lun understands that the Flying Birds are actually like the Jiazi Band, they don't like the commercial packaging arrangements and constraints of record companies, and they can create music that they feel very good about.

"They have a lot of fans, a lot of people often come to see their performances, and there are millions of fans who follow them on Youguan, and they often upload videos of their performances to attract more attention. ”

Abel said, "There are a lot of such musicians in China, right? Now in the Internet era, communication is more convenient than before, and I have heard some very good Chinese independent musicians in the mouths of many friends." ”

"There are quite a few. ”

Jiang Lun said, "Although they are poor, they are happy, but they also need opportunities, many stars who rely on packaging and hype are fancy, just because of a beautiful face and a little good singing skills, but music itself is not like this, but it requires soul and creativity, and indeed many times, many reasons bury a lot of talents." ”

"The whole world has problems of one kind or another, and the United States is no exception. And the United States is a capitalist country, and business and creativity go hand in hand to a certain extent, but sometimes business also suppresses the soul. Many musicians have fallen into the hotbed of money, and a life of luxury and erosiveness has destroyed them, especially those young musicians, like Asuka, there are really not many. ”

When it comes to this issue, it is a little too deep, Jiang Lun and Abel are silent, if it weren't for Dewey holding a wine glass to enliven up the atmosphere, maybe the two of them would not be able to get out of this atmosphere.

The Asuka band's performance is over.

They walked off the stage and sat down with Jiang Lun and the gang.

"Hey, Jaron, come on!"

The drummer of the bird threw a cigarette at Jiang Lun, and Li Qing, who was on the side, grabbed the cigarette and put it on the table first, blocked in front of Jiang Lun and said, "I'm sorry, Jaron doesn't smoke." ”

Jiang Lun was still in the clouds, and for some reason, Li Qing poked his head over and whispered, "This cigarette can't be smoked." ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Lun was stunned for a moment, looked down at the cigarette on the table, it had been broken.

But another player of Asuka came over and picked it up with disgust, and picked it up after a little bit of it.

Jiang Lun has been watching the whole process, but he has not seen any clues.

Li Qing continued to whisper, "There's a big hemp in there!"

Jiang Lun's spirit was shocked, he woke up most of the time, and looked at the smoke floating in the air, which was also poisonous, so he stood up and excused himself to go to the bathroom and hid a step.

As soon as he left, McNugget followed.

"These guys are really having fun, they actually suck ......"

"Shhhhhhhh ”

Although this thing is legal in the local area, it is evil, Jiang Lun deliberately avoided it, and waited until the smoke was almost gone after they smoked before returning to his seat.

"Why have you been going for so long!"

As soon as Jiang Lun came back, Owen came over with the wine in a leisurely manner, and he seemed to be in a state of ascending to an immortal, and he also sucked it at a glance.

Abel saw that Jiang Lun was deliberately dodging, so he couldn't help but stand up and help Owen, "You drank too much, I'll help you sit down." ”

"No! I'm going to dance. ”

Owen squirmed and laughed.

Abel turned back to Jiang Lun and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry! ”

"It's okay!"

Jiang Lun didn't care, everyone had their own lives, and he had no right to interfere, but he could choose to refuse and turn a blind eye.

As soon as Owen sat down groggily, the lead singer of Asuka stood up and clinked glasses with him, and said, "Jalon, it's rare to come to California and sing a song on stage!"

"Yes, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, I'll tell them to show their wrists. ”

"Yes, yes, do you need an accompaniment? We'll improvise with you. ”

One suggested that everyone agree, especially Byrne, who brought in all the people in charge of stage management.

Jiang Lun didn't shirk either, everyone plays music, and they can't show their timidity professionally, so they walked happily towards the stage.

The members of the Flying Birds Band also followed, and when the previous performance was over, they rushed directly onto the stage, grabbed their respective weapons, and prepared to improvise accompaniment for Jiang Lun's performance.

Many people below saw them coming up again, thinking that it was the Asuka Band and performing, and couldn't help but chant their names.

The lead singer of the band took the microphone and said, "The next performance is not us, but a friend who has come all the way from China." He's the songwriter and original singer of "We-are-the-world" -- Jaron!

The people in the audience were very friendly and enthusiastic, especially when they heard Jiang Lun's introduction, many people actually stood on the chairs in surprise.

Everyone's mobile phone was ready to shoot, and some tourists even took out DV equipment on the spot.

Originally, before Jiang Lun came on stage, he was going to sing "One Family in the World", because in foreign countries, everyone who is familiar with him is likely to have only such a song.

But he gave up temporarily.

Thinking of what Abel said just now, and thinking about the behavior of the members of the Band Asuka just now, he felt the need to take out a new English song from the new album and sing it.

And today in California, the time and place are favorable, which is very suitable for this song.

Jiang Lun took the stage and took an electric guitar, and said before singing, "I'm very happy to see so many friends who know me in a foreign country today, the tune of this song has been there for a long time, but the lyrics are what I just thought of, and the song is called "Hotel California"!"
