Chapter 269: Women Are Like Flowers

Janis's voice is hoarse and almost male.

It's not as beautiful as other singers, but it can make the audience empathize with her pain, and she uses all parts of her body to convey this heart-wrenching pain. She is undoubtedly the most powerful female singer of the rock 'n' roll century and continues to set an example for other women in rock 'n' roll. She is a representative of female rock and roll.

After another success, Janis quickly relapsed into a bad habit, this time being careful not to let anyone else know. The key thing is that she knows how to control the size of each dosage and is no longer as reckless as before.

The first album after the comeback, "Big Brother", quickly rushed to the sales charts, and then reached No. 1 for 8 consecutive weeks. After that, she used a powerful, rough voice and a vocal style similar to black soul music to compose her own compositions "Maybe", "Endeavor" and so on, and the songs were very shocking and immediately won praise from fans.

It's a pity that Jennis's bad habits are getting more and more, not only taking drugs but also getting into the habit of alcoholism. Her growing addiction to drugs and alcohol, as well as her increasingly unstable relationships, affected her live performances.

Janis had no choice but to disband the band again, leave the music scene, and try to seek medical treatment for drug rehabilitation. Alex, who learned of this, immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to the girl who had impressed him at the beginning.

He came to the drug rehabilitation center and tried to talk to Jennis, so that she could get rid of bad habits.

When he saw Jannis, he was taken aback by the other party's appearance, because of drug and alcohol abuse. Coupled with staying up late a lot, she has become very haggard. Seeing this appearance, Alex knew that Jennis must have a lot of pressure in her heart, and if she couldn't get rid of it, there was no way to get her back together.

In order to understand what was in her mind, Alex used his abilities to copy the doll from Giannis.

It didn't take long for Alex to understand why Jennis, who had repeatedly taken the path of self-destruction, because no matter how successful she was, she was still the ugly, inferior little girl at heart.

For the desire for love and the need for relationships with others, Jennis continues to do all kinds of amazing things. I just want to attract the attention of the people around me. That's all there is to it. Only then did she feel the true feelings of her relatives and friends for her.

Among all her friends, Janis wanted Alex's care the most. It is precisely because of this that she sings so hard, even at the cost of harming her own health. Every time she fell ill for various reasons. Thus getting Alex's attention. It was the happiest day of her life.

However, these years. Alex has more and more things to do, and he rarely goes to the record label, let alone has time to care about Giannis. Especially after Alex and Brigitte were rumored to be in a relationship. Janis felt more and more hopeless about life, and no matter what she looked at, she felt a layer of gray.

When she needs to get rid of this emotion, she has to use the power of alcohol and drugs to temporarily escape the troubles of reality and enter other fantasy worlds, and the stage is the center of that world.

After understanding Jennis's thoughts and feelings, Alex felt a little guilty and blamed himself. In fact, he should have found out earlier, but it was also because he was too negligent, which led to ignoring the true thoughts of his friends.

He really thinks of Janis as a friend, just like Richard Jr. and Chuck.

To help her get back on her feet, Alex decides to write a song for her, and he asks the staff at the drug rehabilitation center for pens and paper.

"What are you writing about? Song sheet? Janis felt a little curious, she knew exactly what Alex was capable of musical.

"Yes, it's writing songs. A song for you. ”

"Give it to me? It's true? ”

Janis was so happy that she almost jumped up in her hospital bed, and when she debuted, she sang several songs written by Alex. Although the quality of those songs is not as good as the other songs written by Alex, they are still very good. For a long time, her biggest dream was to sing another song written by Alex, but she never had a chance to bring it up.

Alex smiled silently, he naturally knew what Jennis's wish was, and since that was the case, he took the opportunity to fulfill it in one fell swoop. By the way, I also hope to treat Janis through this song, so that she will no longer feel sorry for herself and embark on the road of new life.

After Jennis learned that the song was given to herself, she was surrounded by happiness. She quietly watched Alex write with his head down, not daring to move, for fear of interrupting his inspiration.

The song was quickly written, and Alex handed over the paper in his hand: "Take it, this song is yours." During this time, you can practice here, and when you come out, you can record records. ”

β€œThe-rose!”

Janis muttered the name of the song, she quickly skimmed through the lyrics, tried to sing it in her head, and found that the style of the song was very different from her current singing style. If she insists on singing this song in her own style, it will inevitably ruin the charm of the whole song.

But why, why did Alex write such a song?

Jenniz couldn't figure it out, but she didn't have to think about it, she decided to give Alex her future path.

"How should I sing this song?" She asked.

"I'll sing it to you! Sing it just once! ”

Alex took a deep breath and sang the song with a tenderness he had never shown to outsiders, and his singing voice was so sentimental that it immediately captivated Giannis.

"It has been said that / Love is a river that will drown the gentle reeds. It has been said that / Love is a razor that makes your soul bleed. Some people say that / love is a kind of thirst, an endless thirst with pain......."

"And I said / Love is a flower, and you are the only seed. If your heart is afraid of breaking, you will never learn to dance. If you're afraid to wake up from a sweet dream, you'll never get a chance. If you don't want to give, you will never get anything in return. If the soul is afraid to die. You'll never learn how to live. ”

By the time Alex sang, Janis had a complete grasp of the song's style, and she sang along, "When the night is too long, when the road ahead is too far, or when you think that only the lucky and the strong are entitled to love...... You have to remember that under the thick snow, a seed has always been lying there, and when the spring sun shines, it will bloom into the most beautiful rose! ”

"Ahem, ahem! The song ...... Ahem. This song is so good. It's so touching. ”

Maybe it's because I've changed the way I sang in the past, and I'm not used to it. Perhaps because he hadn't sung for a long time, Jenniz coughed again and again after singing the last song.

Alex comforted Janis for a moment. Let her stay in the drug rehabilitation center with peace of mind. I cooperate with the staff well. And guaranteed after she comes out. Hold a grand concert for her to welcome her comeback.

Janis did, and she followed Alex's advice. Get rid of years of drug and alcohol addiction. Finally regained his health, left the drug rehabilitation center, and resumed his singing career.

As for the mysterious man dressed in retro, it was only after Jennis's second comeback that he saw her on stage. At that time, Janis was singing "The-roes", and she completely expressed the meaning of the lyrics, so that everyone present and the peculiar person could feel her mood and feelings.

Walter? Disney has been sending people to follow Giannis to find the trace of the adult from her. For the first few weeks, nothing was found. One night, the man seemed to reappear.

He was still dressed in a tuxedo, a top hat, and a civilized stick, and he appeared after Janis had finished singing and before following his companion back to his residence.

"Hello lady!" He took off his top hat and gave Giannis a slight salute.

"You...... Hello! ”

When Jennith saw his appearance, he was a little surprised and a little strange. But she was soon relieved that among her fans, there were all kinds of strange people. Even Jennis, herself, is a stranger in fancy dress, not only dressed strangely on stage, but also in normal times. The newspapers also called her "Crazy woman!" ”

"I have something to discuss with this lady, please step down first!" The strange man said in a peculiar tone, and what made Jennis feel even more amazing was that the companions around him immediately obeyed the order and walked away without hesitation.

"Hey! Feed! Why are you all gone? Janis was a little scared and a little curious.

"Don't worry, ma'am! I have no ill will towards you......"

"Y-Who are you?"

"Me? My name doesn't matter, but for the sake of your conversation, you can call me John! It's my old name, and although it's rarely called that anymore, I still like it. ”

The eccentric, who calls himself John, has been speaking politely. He had put on his top hat, and at night he looked like a ghost resurrected from the last century, out of place with this era.

"Mr. John, may I ask you what you are doing with me?" Janis had gradually calmed down, and she asked as she looked at the strange man in front of her.

"Well, I listened to your song some time ago and thought you had a talent for touching people's hearts. That talent should not be wasted on something as trivial as singing to someone, but must be used in a grander cause. ”

"Huh? Iβ€”I don't really understand what you mean. The reason why I can move people is because I sing, and if I don't sing, I don't know how to ......do it."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you not to sing. It's just that you won't be allowed to sing to ordinary people. You should sing for some greater purpose, you should sing for the pleasure of God. ”

Oh, God?

The image of the church cross flashed through Janis's mind, and before he could say it, the other party seemed to know what she was thinking.

"Don't get me wrong, the God I'm talking about may not be what you think."

"No, it's different?" Jennith was taken aback, and was about to ask further, when John in front of him suddenly frowned.

"There's a nasty little mouse running over, doesn't this guy really know what self-knowledge is?"

John said something inexplicable, and Jennis, who didn't understand it at first, then understood. Before she could open her mouth to ask, several people were already walking in their direction.

One of them is Walt? Disney, with his subordinates and bodyguards behind him, walked with a real momentum. When he saw that the person in front of him was John he was looking for, he immediately changed to another attitude, and he waved his hand to stop the person behind him. He trotted up to himself, and did not stand still until John was in front of him, and said respectfully, "My lord! I didn't expect to meet you here! ”

John snorted coldly, did not debunk Walt's careful thoughts, and said slowly: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Uh," Walter almost stopped, but he quickly replied, "I wonder if you have any instructions for what to do next?" ”

"No need to continue! I've changed my mind, you can stop. ”

Stop? What's going on?

Walter was a little anxious: "Then ......."

John glanced at Walt? Disney, suddenly laughed: "What, what do you have an opinion?" ”

"No, how can I have an opinion, just ......."

"Oh, by the way, you worked so hard to find me because you wanted a reward, didn't you?" John had a smile on his face, but the words in his mouth became cold: "You have done all this mess, and you dare to come and ask for a reward?" ”

Walter? Cold sweat flowed from Disney's forehead, and it was only then that he realized how unwise he had been. He had long been overwhelmed by the desire for immortality, and he didn't react until he faced this terrifying adult.

"Big, big....... me, I'm ......" Walter began to stammer, unable to even speak. He wanted to call a bodyguard, but as soon as the idea arose, he was vetoed by himself. Even if he hadn't seen this lord in action, he was sure that those ordinary people were definitely no opponents.

"Do you know why I don't accept you and let you become a descendant?"

"For, for, for what?" Walt's brain was excited, and he spoke much more fluently: "Although I am not a sage, I consider myself a genius, with a firm will and a high vision. What's more, the ambition is much greater than that of people like Alex, aren't you all looking for people? I feel like I fit that standard best. ”

Alex?

When Janis heard them mention the name, he immediately became curious. Judging from the conversation between the two people, it seems that Alex is also involved.

After hearing this, John paused angrily with the civilization stick in his hand and said, "Hmph! How dare you brag about yourself! If you're talking about the thickness of your skin, there's really no one like you. Let me ask you, if you were to sit in Alex's position, how would you deal with the family crisis at that time? ”

"Naturally, I immediately found the adult, and then surrendered and admitted defeat. In this situation of disparity in strength, only compromise can survive, and it is too unwise to fight hard. Walter replied without thinking, and the more he spoke, the smoother he became: "If the enemy is too strong, then make the enemy your own." Now Alex seems to have won for a while, but he doesn't know what kind of trouble this will bring to the Carpenter family! ”

John nodded, then shook his head. He said: "Alex naturally can't defeat us, even if the Carpenter family is a hundred times stronger, he can't challenge the order of the entire world!" But if he surrenders on his knees at the beginning, as you do, then his role is nothing more than a key! (To be continued......)
