“Jaron！I-Love-U！”

The curly-haired boy in the audience shouted loudly.

Jiang Lun glanced at him with a smile and gave him a thumbs up.

Next to the boy, a little girl who looked like a doll winked and shouted, "Me-too!"

Jiang Lun reciprocated in the same way, then hung the guitar on his body, connected the effects at his feet, and familiarized himself with the guitarist of the Flying Birds, and after adjusting the two tones for later use, he found the drummer and told him to remember to read the code, "I turned around on one side, and the drum sound was added." ”

"OK! No problem!" the drummer dropped the cigarette butt from his mouth and held out his thumbs with both hands.

Standing in the middle of the small stage, Jiang Lun's fingers moved flexibly, and the guitar sounded.

An electric guitar plays the effect of a steel-stringed guitar, which is different from the noisy ordinary electric guitar, very gentle and graceful, and also different from the dullness of the nylon string guitar, very clear and empty.

The soothing prelude glides through like flowing water, and many people stare at their eyes and open their mouths slightly just by listening to this short solo.

Good!

That's so good!

The prelude is so good, and the main song and chorus behind are even more worth looking forward to.

"Hotel California" has a live audio, the prelude is 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, and it is played by five guitars at the same time, among which Solo is very tall, but unfortunately the audience screams too loudly for Jiang Lun to hear some of the passages.

Today I chose the prelude of the recorded version, which was relatively much shorter, and when Jiang Lun finished playing, his body turned sideways, and the drummer looked for the rhythm, clapping two toms with both hands and instantly followed.

Then, Jiang Lun leaned in front of the microphone and began to sing:

“On-a-dark-desert-highway！”

(Driving on a dark desert road)

“Cool-wind-in-my-hair！”

(Cool breeze blows through my hair)

“Warm-smell-of-colitas！”

(strong big-hemp taste)

“Rising-up-through-the-air！”

(Filled in the air)

The few members of the Band Asuka didn't hear it too much, because in this lyric, the word Colitas is not found in the dictionary, but it is actually Spanish, which means: "big - hemp shoot".

But there was no shortage of people who heard it, like Abel, who suddenly heard this word, and it was as if a loud bang suddenly exploded in his head.

He knew Spanish, understood the meaning of the word, and in conjunction with the scene just now, he suddenly stood on end with his hair.

This......

Is it really the lyrics that Jiang Lun wrote just now?

Looking back at the other people at the table, especially Owen, who was still slumped in the chair, the panting appearance and the satisfied smile on his face made him feel an inexplicable chill rise in his heart.

“Up-ahead-in-the-distance！”

(Look up into the distance)

“I-saw-a-shimmering-light！”

(I see a faint light)

“My-head-grew-heavy-and-my-sight-grew-dim！”

(My head is getting heavier and my vision is blurry)

“I-had-to-stop-for-the-night！”

(I had to stop for the night)

Hearing this part, more people began to react.

My head is getting heavier?

Blurred vision too?

This...... Isn't that the state after sucking-eating?

Someone woke up like a dream, staring at Jiang Lun on the stage, his head blank.

Someone squinted his eyes, unable to retract his thoughts, drifting farther and farther away with the song.

Some people howled excitedly, as if they had finally found music to vent their emotions at this time.

In fact, the whole song of "Hotel California" is full of allusions about drugs, such as the next few lines, "She stood at the door and greeted me, and I heard the church bells in the distance, and said to myself in my heart, this could be heaven or hell." She lit a candle to show me the way, and there was a burst of talking along the hallway......"

The key phrase "This-could-be-heaven-or-this-could-be-hell!" (this could be heaven or hell!) alludes to a situation similar to Owen's now, where he feels that everything he sees now is heaven, but he has actually fallen into the territory.

“Welcome-to-the-hotel-California！”

(Welcome to Hotel California)

“Such-a-lovely-place！Such-a-lovely-face！”

(Such a beautiful place, what a lovely face)

“Plenty-of-rooms-at-the-hotel-California！”

(Hotel California has ample rooms)

“Any-time-of-year，you-can-find-it-here！”

(You can find a room here at any time of the year)

The chorus part has arrived, and it is also the most critical time for the whole song.

If you listen to it from the front alone, whether it's the melody or the lyrics, this section is excellent.

But!

Throughout "Hotel California", there are too many metaphors.

There is a technique called "Backward-masking", which is to listen to the music from the end to the end!

Flip and listen to the song, and you can hear a different voice, that is--Satan!

A lot of hidden content is integrated into modern pop music, and if you don't dig deeper, how can you know the deep meaning!

The lyrics from "California Hotel" were actually "Satan-had-help.He-organized-his-own-religion." (Satan helps us plan his faith and organization).

For example, the next singing:

“Her-mind-is-Tiffany-twisted！”

(Her heart is twisted by jewelry)

“She-got-the-sumptuous-cars！”

(She owns a luxury car)

“She-got-a-lot-of-pretty-pretty-boys！”

(She has many beautiful lads)

“That-she-calls-friends！”

(She calls it a friend)

The term Tiffany-twisted is also something that few people know.

Tiffany is the meaning of Tiffany, is a common American surname, ingenious is that in both worlds, Tiffany is a very famous jewelry brand, but the Tiffany jewelry in this world is far more luxurious and expensive than the other world.

And Twisted means entangled, it seems to mean "entangled by Tiffany's jewelry", as if it is a rebuke for money and greed, but in fact this is the title of a Se romance film in another world, because Twisted also means perverted, this film is called "Perverted Tiffany", which is actually a criticism of young people's freedom ****, but there is no such film in this world, so let's understand it with normalcy.

Anyway, you can hear from the lyrics that the woman described is a person who likes money and has a chaotic private life.

And this woman is actually a microcosm of the public, reflecting the impetuosity behind the prosperity of this society in the United States.

Sex, drugs, money - all three are deeply but metaphorically described in the lyrics.

The lyrics of the following lines are written more clearly.

"People raise the fire of revelry, and they slash each other with steel knives, but they can't kill the demon in their hearts!"

"I ran to the door as hard as I could, and I had to find my way back to where I had been!"

"The night guard said: Relax, we have arranged to receive, you can check out whenever you want, but you can never leave!"

Addiction allows you to be cured for a certain period of time, but you can never get rid of the shadow of the "demon in your heart", which is exactly the portrayal of "you can settle the bill for a while, but you can never leave".

The reason why this "Hotel California" is a famous song in another world, in addition to the skills of the music itself, the classic guitar melody, I am afraid that the metaphors in the lyrics of this song are more than six.

Jiang Lun's performance tonight was filmed by many people, and he couldn't wait to upload it to the Internet immediately.

Compared with the Internet in China, the Internet in foreign countries has a higher degree of freedom, and there are no walls.

Take the video website "Youguan" as an example, once uploaded, it can be seen by people in many countries around the world, including North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, East Asia and other regions.

This piece of music that is biased towards country rock style, in just one hour, the total number of views of more than a dozen filmed versions directly exceeded 10 million people, this data is not much if compared with the top singers who are popular in the United States, but for a Chinese person like Jiang Lun, it is already very terrifying.

After getting the news at four o'clock in the morning, the employees worked overtime to maintain the news, and deleted some versions of the shooting picture quality that were not very high, in addition, they also focused on promoting some audio sources and high-quality versions.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Lun was still asleep when he was woken up.

McNugget held the phone and shook it in front of him, "Robert call!"

"Robert?"

So beautiful was disturbed, Jiang Lun frowned and closed his eyes, took his mobile phone to answer, "Hey?"

"Jaron, you're probably the most well-known person on the Internet today!"

Over there, Robert said excitedly, "I'm really sorry yesterday, I discussed with the senior management and agreed to buy the film you made for 20 million." ”

"Excuse me!"

Jiang Lun smiled playfully in his heart, "I have already been contacted by other distribution companies, and I am willing to pay 50 million to buy the overseas distribution rights of this film!"

"What?"

Robert was visibly choking on his breath and paused, "Who, tell me! Who will pay 50 million for this movie?"

"What do you say?"

Jiang Lun smiled, "Hollywood's six major releases, apart from you Rhine, who can afford this price?"

"Yes......" Robert thought quickly in his head, and quickly found a conclusion, "Stendi Garoff, it's just them, Jaron, whoever it is, can you give me a chance, can the price be a little lower?"

"How much lower?"

Jiang Lun rubbed his eyes, changed to a comfortable position and continued to fall asleep, "You just say, how much can Rhine produce, right? If it's too low, it's not like me refusing people!"

"Hmmm......"

Robert gritted his teeth, "Four thousand, how's it going?"

"Four thousand five, it can't be lower!"

Jiang Lun said, "If you can accept this price, I will even give you the right to release the new album!"

"This ......"

Robert began to hesitate, and he glanced at the Youguan website on his computer again, and the video on the homepage made him smell money.

To be reasonable, the release of the new album is much more valuable than the release of the movie, after all, Jiang Lun's identity is mainly a musician, whether it is the previous "One Family in the World" or the "Hotel California" that exploded overnight last night, it is the guarantee of the new album's big hit.

Stimulated by such a generous profit, Robert slapped his head and decided, "Okay, four thousand five is four thousand five, I will wait for you to sign the contract in the morning, and you will not regret it!"

"Okay, don't regret it!"

Jiang Lun smiled, "Then I'll sleep for a while, you disturbed my good dreams!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Robert smiled happily like a child, "Remember our agreement, I'll wait for you!"

Putting down the phone, Robert began to carefully calculate, 45 million US dollars to win the overseas distribution rights of "This Man from Earth", which is actually not high, but the key is that this movie is only a small-budget production, and in addition to Jiang Lun's screenwriter, producer, producer and soundtrack, as well as Yu Rushui's starring role, the rest of the selling points are not outstanding, at most the dialogue and plot with very big brains.

How to sell this movie at the sky-high box office?

Robert had his own way, he picked up the phone and called his good friend, the king of American directors - Jameson Thackeray.

In the whole of the Americas, including Canada, as long as you say "James", everyone will naturally associate with "Jameson Thackeray", although there are very, very many people called "James" in the world, and there are more than a dozen famous in Hollywood alone, but without the surname "James" can let everyone know who it is, this is the only one.

The phone called, and Robert smiled lightly, "James, what's the party again?"

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Over there, in addition to Jaime's rough panting, there was also the sound of a woman's coaqueness.

Robert pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I have a newcomer movie here, which is very exciting, but the marketing strategy is more difficult to do, and now I want you to put on a name and serve as one of the producers of this movie, how about it?"

"You're in charge of publishing?"

"Of course!"

"I'm so busy, don't bother me anymore!"

With that, the phone hung up.

"Haha!"

Robert happily bounced off his chair, played music on his computer, and danced happily around the office.

With James's name and the operation of various channels, the film is an easy hit.

In the current American film market, channel is king, operation is king, and content is ...... There are no cases of movies that sell well because of the content.

Robert knows this, and of course he's happy at the moment.

And Jiang Lun promised to give him the distribution rights of the new album as well, which is even more worth having a drink with him. (To be continued.) )
