At 9 a.m. East 8th Ward time, it was just over 9 p.m. in New York, USA.

Axl's smile was still on his face as he hung up the phone, and finally turned into a deep sigh as the phone rang out.

"Alright, boys, there's no time to be sad," Jeff stood up, "and there are tens of thousands of people waiting for you outside!" ”

Everyone got up, stretched, took the piano, turned out the trouser pockets of their costumes and turned them back in.

“go！ go！ go！ ”

"Get high!"

The lights shone brightly, and the sound of the helicopter's propellers drowned out the waves of people.

The high platform rises in the middle of Times Square, and the neon lights of the plaza towers in the distance are intertwined.

On the big screen of the building, the golden letters of Guns & Roses lit up hotly.

Under the high platform, bursts of people came and went, like swaying wheat waves, and bursts of cheers rose and fell like a tide.

Axl· Rose slowly ascended from the lift platform into the crowd's field of vision, wearing a black T-shirt on the top and a pair of red boxers on the bottom, and his long hair curled up slightly.

A louder cheer drowned out the roar of the helicopter's propellers, and the helicopter drifted away, the patrol cars on the ground waiting for them.

"Just now, just now," the lead singer on stage held the microphone, "and the friends of JX called us. ”

The audience stared at the stage in confusion.

"JX, friends, JX!" The lead singer's male duck voice is very penetrating, "Now you will hear JX's "November Rain" written to us, for everyone!" ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

The audience seemed to understand what was happening, screaming like a wave crashing stones, and the crowd relayed the fainted people out of the arena.

The sound of the piano and violin sounded together, the majestic sound of the epic piano, and the melodious flute sound added in the middle of the process, as if a long story was being whispered.

"When I look into your eyes, I see pent-up love.

But, my dear, when I hugged you, did you know that I felt the same way?

Because nothing lasts forever, we understand that our hearts change. ”

The crowd swayed and rose and fell with the music.

The 9-minute song, due to its length, could not be played on any radio station, because no station would have the full 9 minutes to play the song.

But the song went straight to No. 30 on the Billboard hit singles, second only to "Don't Cry" on the same album.

It has been praised by music critics as a "perfect masterpiece" and "poetic symphonic rock".

At the same time, its MV won MTV's Best Cinematography, and the number of views exceeded 100 million in a month on YouTube.

Because of this MV, the owners of major musical instrument stores went crazy, and their monthly guitar sales tripled year-on-year.

Slash stood with his guitar in his arms, like a lone wolf, finger plucking the guitar, and many years later, this Solo would go down in a documentary as one of the "10 Best Solos in Rock History".

……

"Were these albums also written by JX? Or was it just someone else who gave it to him? Gao Xiaobai asked.

"Didn't that agent of Guns Rose just say that," Jiang Xinhai said, "that JX is a mysterious songwriter or something." ”

"But......" Gao Xiaobai was a little crazy, "These songs are all popular songs in the European and American circles, are they all written by him alone?" ”

If it's just a hard shake of the gun, which was written by JX, then he can understand it a little better.

But if pop rock like Magic Red and Linkin Park were also written by JX, then he would really break the defense.

At Gao Xiaobai's level, if it's just a song with a good reputation but not popular that is blown on his face, he will only smile and not speak, after all, he also has "She at the Same Table" - who didn't have a hit back then? No matter how well you write, is it as well-known as me?

But if it's a song that is popular and popular, and even his mother and son are cycling in singles, saying that it was written by JX, he can't accept it.

How is the aesthetic of the American people like this!

Jiang Xinhai shrugged.

What Gao Xiaobai thinks, she doesn't care.

She knew that Chen Ya was the kind of person who did ten points and could only say seven points.

He said that most of the private collection was filled with his songs, and that should be it.

If it was someone else's song, with his character, it would probably be like Pink Floyde's previous albums, with the sentence "At their strong request, I put this song in, and I didn't want to put it here".

If he said that someone else had strongly requested that it be put in, then it must have been.

In such boring things, Chen Ya never deceives people.

Jiang Xinhai thinks so, but others don't think so.

Not everyone knows Chen Yaqi as well as she does.

"These albums," Gao Xiaobai pointed to the row of bookshelves, "maybe throw a song out at random, at least hundreds of millions of people have listened to it." ”

Yingzi frowned and looked at him, thinking that he was scary. Yan Yunzhuo smiled: "Teacher Gao, what you said is too exaggerated......

"Exaggerated? I'm talking about more convergence! Gao Xiaobai casually clicked on the screen, "For example, Magic Red, they still have a few songs, which are also golden songs of the century." ”

As he clicked, the background music changed and a whistle sounded.

As soon as this whistle sounded, the expressions on everyone's faces became wonderful.

"I've really heard this, the super magical one, especially this whistle." He Ling said with wide eyes.

"'Moves Like Jagger,' Gao Xiaobai said, "you see, this is also very popular in China, but others don't know it's this band." ”

In the live broadcast room, the barrage brushed up "666" one after another:

"Indeed, every disco has this song, it's too magical."

"A lot of people who edit videos have this melody, but I don't know it's this band."

", is this also written by JX?"

……

Gao Xiaobai ordered another song: "There is also this song "Animals", as well as "ht", "Lost Stars", ......"

After speaking, he looked up: "These are songs that have been hanging on the charts for a long time, and this is just a band!" ”

"In the republican era, the name of the band may not be familiar, but if you want to say "Apologize", then many people have heard of it, and "g Stars", many people must be familiar with it."

"Look at how many bands are there here? Dream Dragon, Green Day, Lincoln Park ......"

“《Believer》《 Wheember Ends》《In the end》…… Oh my God, did he write all these songs? ”

Some people who were watching the live broadcast laboriously tried to search for the music mentioned by Gao Xiaobai.

By the time the song sounded, many people changed their expressions.

I don't know if I don't search, but I hear it when I search: it turned out to be this song?

There is a lack of access to this music in China, and most people hear it from video clips and roadside stereos.

So they don't know the name of the band or the name of the song, they are only familiar with the melody.

This also indirectly shows that these songs are of high quality and the melody is very catchy.

"I've heard all of these bands," Cui Dayou said suddenly, "very good." If it's all written in JX, then he's really good, and he can even control English. ”

Gao Xiaobai opened his mouth wide: "Can't you?" ”

"English should be filled in by someone else, right? I don't seem to have heard of many non-native lyricists. Wang Feng said.

Gao Xiaobai said: "I don't know, the album cover is not written, and these songs are only written as original songs, not songwriters." ”

When Gao Xiaobai was shocked, Yingzi felt more and more irritable.

Gao Xiaobai had a conversation with the other side in English just now, she didn't understand much, she just felt that everyone's reaction was exaggerated.

At this time, hearing that they were still arguing about whether the songwriter was JX or not made her even more irritated.

"When I was on the phone, I didn't ask who the songwriter was?" Yingzi frowned.

"No, I was patronizing the problem at the time." Qin Yunchu said.

Gao Xiaobai thought of something and said: "It's a mention of the British invasion, as if they say that JX is the mysterious songwriter behind more than a dozen bands......"

Yingzi asked: "Then did he say which dozen bands are there?" ”

Gao Xiaobai shook his head.

"Did you say which song was written by JX?"

Gao Xiaobai shook his head again.

"Didn't you say that it's the bands on display now?"

Gao Xiaobai was silent. He didn't seem to have to answer anymore.

Yingzi sighed:

"Writing a song for each band is considered to be written, and it is also considered a mysterious songwriter, what is it?"

Yan Yunzhuo said: "People in Europe and the United States like to exaggerate. ”

After being told by Yingzi like this, Gao Xiaobai felt much more open-minded, and nodded: "Maybe." ”

Yingzi put his hand on the screen and said, "Continue to read the next paragraph, don't spend time guessing, let him finish talking in one breath before commenting." ”

After being clicked by Yingzi, the screen changed again.

This is another interview.

This time, the interview scene is even darker, and the subtitles are also very intimately placed on the screen.

The protagonist of the interview, JX, has black hair, with his back to the camera, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and it can be seen that he is sitting very comfortably.

The reporter on the other side was a different person.

"Excuse me, Mr. JX, when you first came to the United States, you used to say the word 'British invasion', what is your definition of British invasion?"

The reporter looked respectful and seemed to be expecting his opponent's answer.

And everyone is familiar with the style of Western journalists, and the small notebook in his hand must be full of many sharp questions.

However, to the reporter's surprise, he was answered by a rhetorical question:

"When I first came to the United States, why didn't anyone ask me that question?"

The reporter laughed dryly: "Maybe everyone thought they understood at the time." ”

"Then why do you still ask?"

"Judging by your behavior, people find that they don't understand it at all," the reporter said, "If you say the British invasion, you mean that with 10 British bands - and 1 Finnish band, in 300 days, a total of more than 2,000 concerts were held in the United States, a total of 76 million tickets were sold, on average, 1 out of every 2 Americans has heard your song, if that's all there is to it, then it's understandable......

"Well, that's pretty much it." JX said.

"That should be called a JX invasion," the reporter said, "after all, there is a Finnish band, and you don't have British ancestry, do you?" ”

"I think it's easier for the Americans to accept the British invasion," JX said, "I'm new to the city, you know, you can't offend people too much." ”

"Hahahaha......" both of them laughed.

“…… So," after laughing for a while, the reporter asked, "Then you formed 7 or 8 American bands, so that this year's billboard was full of your songs, and people almost thought that the letters JX were anonymous or something...... What is this doing? ”

"Well...... this"
