159. Reggae, Toilet Bomber and JX Gang

"Well...... in the picture, JX's shoulders shrugged slightly, and his tone was relaxed, "Guess?" ”

The reporter's expression on the other side looked very energetic, and he said with a smile: "Oh oh? Now I'm asking questions. ”

"You can't ask me to answer a question that I don't know about," JX said, "if I have to do it, because I can." ”

"Because you can."

The reporter repeated his words, again surprised by his hubris.

But I have to admit that this kind of George Mallory-style statement is really handsome.

"You mean being able to write music for almost twenty bands?"

"No, I mean, I can occupy the charts with two dozen bands."

The reporter opened his mouth wide: "Do you really plan to dominate the American music scene?" ”

"No, that's what you want to hear." JX said, "Let's start with something you like to hear, and then you can use that as a headline and put it on the cover of a news newspaper so that it's easier for people to click in." ”

The reporter laughed.

"Of course, I think it's more likely that the reaction is that people will look at this headline and say, "Wow, you see, this kind of headline can also be a news headline?" Isn't this a retelling of what everyone has known for a long time? ”

The reporter laughed even louder, and even the camera seemed a little nervous.

In the private collection, everyone's expressions are also a little exciting.

Chen Ya's words were a little too crazy.

Gao Xiaobai was in a cold sweat behind his back and said: "He always speaks in such a mouthful tone, is he really not afraid of being sanctioned?" I'm so afraid that the reporter across from him will walk away. ”

Yingzi sneered and said, "If he is my apprentice, the first lesson I will teach him is humility. ”

Jiang Xinhai glanced at Yingzi.

She wants to say that foreigners are strong, and they have the strength to be sharp without being modest, and the humility without strength is almost weak.

However, the voice in the video sounded again, and she held back her words.

The reporter in the video finally stopped laughing and continued:

"Seriously, JX, everyone is curious about you."

"Curious about me? Like what? ”

"For example, where are you from, where are you going, what are your plans for the future, and why do you never show your face......"

"I can't remember too many questions. You know, I've only slept 4 hours a day lately. ”

"Oh!" The reporter had a pleading look on his face, "Please, JX, I have high hopes for this interview, although I am very happy to talk to you all the time, but if I go back like this with nothing, I may be fired." ”

"Huh?"

"Just tell us about your past," the reporter clasped his hands together, "and tell me how you managed to form so many bands?" ”

JX adjusted his sitting position.

Everyone could feel that he seemed to be getting a little serious.

It was not only the expectant expression on the reporter's face, but also the faces of the people in the private collection.

Especially Jiang Xinhai and Xu Xiangxiao.

Both of them wanted to know, what did Chen Ya do in the past few years abroad?

Yingzi, on the other hand, focused entirely on other aspects.

She is very sure that the so-called JX is certainly not all the music done by one person.

The more he talks, the more flaws there are.

Sooner or later, she'll find out where JX is.

Choi Daewoo squinted, trying to see the screen clearly.

His thinking is purely related to music.

After a long pause, JX slowly said, "As we all know, I'm from China. ”

"Yes." The journalist looked at him eagerly.

"After I left China, I wanted to go on a trip to the world and see the world."

"So you're in Europe?"

"No," said JX, "I went to Japan first. ”

"Huh?" The journalist was somewhat surprised.

"I wrote an album in Japan for a band called Xjapan, but I didn't stay long," JX said, "and then I crossed the ocean and went to Cuba." ”

"Cuba?!" The reporter felt that what he said was getting more and more outrageous.

"I met a lot of celebrities in Cuba that I wanted to meet, and they were all objects that you hated a certain unit in the United States, so I won't go into details here, and then I went from Cuba to Jamaica," he said. ”

"Wow." The reporter didn't know how to pick it up.

"There, I taught some people to sing, and I formed a band with the locals that specialized in singing a type of music called 'reggae,'" he says. JX said.

The reporter said: "I seem to have heard the word reggaeton. JX, tell us about your life in Jamaica. ”

"Jamaica loves music," JX said in a way that remarks the day-to-day of life, "Jamaica is a very poor and weak country, and people are tired of living, so they need to dance on the beach every day." ”

Journalists laugh at the optimism of Jamaicans.

"The job of Jamaicans is to grow coffee and ganja and sell them to you Americans, to satisfy the spiritual world of people in developed countries, and to make money, to go to bars or beaches, around the dance floor or the fire, singing and dancing together."

The smile of the American journalist froze on his face.

"People in their country really love the reggae we make," JX said, "and the influence quickly spread to the point where everyone knew about it, and even South American countries like Brazil invited us to concerts." ”

The reporter spread his hands: "Is this true?" I haven't heard of it at all. ”

"Maybe it's because your social media never pays attention to what's going on in the Third World." JX said.

The journalist was said to be a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yan Yunzhuo finally couldn't help it a little and said, "Why does he keep scolding others?" ”

He Ling coughed lightly and said, "But what he said also has some truth. ”

"He's so mean." Yan Yunzhuo said, "Isn't it normal to not know the kind of African country in Jamaica? ”

"Well, Jamaica is a Caribbean country......" He Ling whispered.

Yan Yunzhuo was about to ask, "Isn't the Caribbean African?" when Yingzi kicked her with her foot, and she quickly stopped her mouth.

Although Yingzi didn't understand it either, she knew that the more she talked, the more her IQ would be exposed.

In the video, Chen Ya's voice came slowly:

“…… Later, Jamaica broke away from British colonial rule and became a 'celebration day' for independent countries, and the new president of their country invited our band to sing reggaeton. ”

"What?" The reporter's voice was loud.

The eyes of everyone in the private collection also widened slightly.

National independence? The new president?

What did you miss just now, why is it suddenly so big?

“…… So in the new capital of their country, there's a street named after the band's lead singer," JX continued, "and I'm relatively unbanked, except for a village called JX. ”

"What??" The reporter shouted louder.

The video continues to play, and JX is still slowly narrating:

"Because of this, I met a British record producer, and I went to England with him, and he had a nephew named Keith Moon, who always liked to blow up the toilet......"

"Wait, blow up the toilet?" The journalist asked.

He gradually felt that the grooves were starting to increase to the point that he couldn't vomit anymore.

"Toilet fried, to be exact," says JX, "and his love for dynamite and toilet is beyond human comprehension, so I thought he was a talent and I wanted to start a band with him." ”

"Wow, wow," the reporter rubbed his nose, he didn't know what the connection between the toilet bowl and music was, but he seemed to have heard the relevant rumors, "I seem to have heard that there is a ...... in the band you brought over who likes to fry the hotel toilet"

The incident of "a British band blowing up an American toilet" made newspaper headlines at first, but then it was not new.

That strange band, every time they have a concert, they will make a mess of the hotel they are staying in.

The room was sprinkled with flour and the TV was thrown into the pool.

The most odious thing is that they also blow up the toilet bowl with explosives that came out of nowhere.

It is said that their dozens of performances in the United States cost more than $500,000 just to repair the toilets.

"yes, it's them," JX said, "and that's what everyone loved as 'The Who'." ”

"Who's in the band."

The journalist repeated the name.

Actually, he doesn't need to repeat.

This band is now one of the most popular and popular bands in the United States.

The reporter leaned out, his face full of curiosity: "What about after that?" ”

"In the beginning, I took them underground in the UK, and the band gradually became more and more popular," JX said, "At a serious concert, Keith Moon kid hid from everyone and put ten times more explosives in his drum than usual, and accidentally detonated it early and blew himself up......"

“……”

The journalist no longer knows what to say.

“…… After carrying the kid away, the band members asked the audience if they thought they could play the drums better and could come on stage to help play......

The reporter smiled wryly: "Under normal circumstances, the band will choose to suspend the performance......"

"It's really happening." JX said.

"Huh?"

"There's a drummer named John Bonham who came on stage and did the rest with the band, and he played the drums as well as Moon, if not a little better than Moon."

“…… Awesome. The reporter flipped through his notebook, "Keith Moon and John Bonham, these two people seem to be called very good drummers by the media......"

"Two of the best drummers of all time." JX Correction Road.

"Two of the best drummers of all time." The journalist repeated, "There are two people." ”

"Yes, there are two of the best drummers of all time, and that's normal."

JX put his hand on his chin and said, "You say, this John Bonham is a college student, just graduated, working as an assembly worker in an auto repair shop, you say, can I miss such a talented jade?" ”

"How did you do that?" The journalist asked.

"I'm going to bring this guy into the band, but a band doesn't need two drummers." JX said.

Speaking of which, the reporter has already guessed the answer.

"So, I formed another band." He said.

"This band is ......"

"Because this band was born because Keith Moon was blown up by himself, he also gave the name of the band, and this band is called led Zeppelin."

Journalists tactically leaned back.

Now, if he ran out and found a random person on the street and asked him if he knew about the Zeppelin, he would be rolled his eyes.

The band is so famous now.

"I never expected that the Zeppelin would be formed in this way." The journalist lamented.

"When I was looking for a lead singer for Led Zeppelin, I found a kid with buckteeth, who had 4 more teeth in his upper row than normal, so he had a particularly wide vocal range.

"But the other members of Led Zeppelin liked another guy named Plant more, and so, this guy named Freddy Mercury lost his job."

JX crossed his arms and said vigorously: "His family conditions are not good, his family does not support him to play music, but he has been ridiculed since he was a child because of his dental deformities, music is the place where he pins his dreams, you say, such a good talent and beautiful jade, can I miss it?" ”

"Of course, no." Journalists have learned to follow along.

"So, I built another band around this guy, and this band is called Queen."

"Queen." The reporter read the word dryly, "Is it the queen who sang "Bohemian Rhapsody"? ”

"Yes."

"And "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the S"? They sang it too? ”

"Yes."

"People love this band, there's Bohemian Rhapsody at every party......"

After the reporter finished speaking, he realized that he was a little excited, and said a little embarrassed: "...... Sorry, please continue. ”

"I was approached by an Australian band who wanted to enter the UK market and asked me to write a song for them.

So I made a book for them, and they were very grateful to me. The name of the band was AC/DC, and soon they became popular.

"At this point, I realized that I already had a lot of bands in my hands, and I had more songs that I didn't sing, what should I do?"

"So, I simply posted an event on the Internet, but any young person who is interested in rock can post a video to participate in the online audition, and I will select the best among all the participants to form my band."

The reporter interjected and asked: "This is the 'baton action' that made a fuss some time ago?" ”

"Yes," says JX, "within a month, there were more than 300,000 more videos on social media related topics, all of which were music contributions from all over the world." ”

"In order to watch these videos, I watched them with my band for more than a month, and finally found several good seedlings, and finally formed three bands - The Kinks, King and Radiohead."

"And I picked a few young people who I thought had the most potential and formed the perfect lineup in my mind – The Rolling Stones."

"These bands, except for the Rolling Stones and a few normal people, who are more obedient, the others are all first-class troublemakers." "Operationally, we had a lot of difficulty, and it cost a lot of money just to fix the toilet that Moon blew up. ”

"It turns out that you are also facing this problem...... the reporter said.

"So, in order to cater to the market, I took a few lads from the losers of a European talent show and formed ColdPlay."

The reporter's mouth opened in an O-shape.

"When we were working on the cover of Coldplay's album, we found a taiga in Finland and got lost, and a local band rescued us, and I listened to their songs and thought they were good, so I took them under my command and renamed them Nightwish."

So, just like that, we formed ten bands. These ten bands are known as the 'JX Gang' in the UK. In order to expand my influence, I decided to bring them with me to the United States. ”

"This is the background of what you call the 'British invasion'......"

……

"I'm not done yet."

While everyone was immersed in the story, Yan Yunzhuo suddenly said loudly.

"After all this time, Taylor Swift hasn't come out yet, it's all bands whose names I haven't heard before," she said, "and it's probably just some tabloid gossip, right?" ”

Yan Yunzhuo frowned, showing a very impatient look.

finally came to participate in a variety show as a guest, and she didn't want the picture to be all in front of others.

So every once in a while, she deliberately spoke loudly.

She was about to say something more when suddenly a hand reached over and covered her mouth.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xinhai said.
