The next day, Yu Dongqing's family of three began to play in Los Angeles.

As the largest city in the western United States, known as the "City of Angels", there are many fun places, such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Beach, and Disneyland

A family of three was happily playing.

In the evening, Yu Dongqing took a bath and went to bed, but was gently hugged by Mingmei Yu Dongqing's neck.

"Husband, I want it." The bright voice is gentle and charming,

"Tongtong is next door." Yu Dongqing said in a low voice.

"We're quieter."

Just when Yu Dongqing and the bright spring breeze were for a while, a bar in Chinatown, not far from the hotel, was full of people.

It turned out that the crew of "Road Warrior" was finished, and director Smith specially invited everyone to come here to play, and of course Li Yunjie was also there.

In fact, Li Yunjie doesn't like this atmosphere very much, half-naked dancing girls, the smell of marijuana fills the air, but he has not been in the United States for a long time, and he needs to adapt to such a life.

While others were singing and dancing, he sat alone on a barstool and drank beer silently.

"Jack, why don't you dance?" Someone greeted him in English, and Li Yunjie looked back to see a bearded man holding a bottle of beer, which was director Smith.

"Director Smith, I don't know how to." Li Yunjie replied in not too standard English.

"Orientals, it's humility, which is completely different from your performance in the play." Smith sat down on the barstool beside him, took a sip of beer and said to Li Yunjie.

"Jack, don't be discouraged, with your fists and feet, you can make a name for yourself in Hollywood, I'm very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, thank you." Li Yunjie said.

Smith left a good impression on him, speaking heartily, unlike some people who are condescending and arrogant in front of Asian actors, and he is also quite taken care of in the crew.

Because he admired Li Yun's kung fu, he temporarily added several sets of shots to him in the play, but even Smith didn't know if it would be cut out in the future.

Hollywood's filmmaking model is different from that in China, where most of the film is now director-centered, but Hollywood implements a producer-centered system.

The director's power is relatively small, but the producer's power is very large, the choice of themes, the determination of film crews, and the choice of shooting angles and editing, etc., are all up to the producer!

However, Li Yunjie is grateful.

"Director Smith, I congratulate you on making this film that is a box office hit!" Li Yunjie also raised his beer glass, and the two touched it.

"Thank you. Jack, I'll tell you the truth, I'm still worried. Smith sighed.

"What are you worried about?" Li Yunjie asked curiously.

"Hey soundtrack!"

It turned out that Smith and producer William had a dispute over the theme song of the movie, and William watched the famous rock song "Departure Tomorrow Morning" written by the famous Chinese musician Paul, and was going to make the theme song of the movie, but Smith disagreed.

It's not that the song is bad, it's that the song has been used as the theme song or soundtrack for several movies, and Smith wanted to use a new song.

But he asked someone to write several songs, and Smith was not very satisfied.

Hearing this, Li Yunjie's heart was moved, and he said: "Mr. Smith, my friend, Mr. Yu Dongqing, a famous musician in our country, is traveling in Los Angeles now, why don't you ask him to write a theme song?" ”

"Yu Dongqing?"

"He is not only a famous musician in our country, but also a director, and the box office of the film "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is as high as 6 billion yuan."

“《Swordsman》？ I've seen it, you are the protagonist in it, and your kung fu is very good! ”

"It's better to be guided by Mr. Yu." Li Yunjie said modestly, and then said that the dubbing and theme song in the movie were all written by Yu Dongqing, which made Smithton interested.

"Did Mr. Yu Dongqing also write an English song called "Scarborough Market" and an Italian song "Beautiful Girl"?

"Yes, but these two songs are not very popular in our country."

"But in our America, it's very welcome! In particular, the song "Scarborough Market" is simply beautiful! Smith exclaimed.

"Dear Jack, please contact him immediately!"

Too late, right?

Liu Yunjie looked at his watch at half past eleven, and it was estimated that he had already rested.

"It's too late to bother, I'll call him tomorrow morning."

“OK！”

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yu Dongqing's family got up to wash, Yu Dongqing was shaving in the bathroom in the mirror, and the mobile phone suddenly rang on the coffee table in the living room.

"Husband, it's Li Yunjie calling." Bright in the living room said.

He called?

"You take it for me."

"Okay."

Yu Dongqing continued to shave in the mirror, and heard Mingmei talking to Li Yunjie on the phone for a while, and when he came to the living room after shaving his beard and washing his face.

Mingmei said to him: "Husband, Li Yunjie said on the phone that I asked you to write a theme song for this movie he made." ”

Mingmei told Yu Dongqing the details of the content on the phone.

This is.

According to the plan, I will play for another day today, and I will take a plane back to China tomorrow night, and it is really troublesome to pick up the work again.

"Husband, Smith is a relatively famous director in the United States, and he likes to use Asian actors, especially our Chinese actors." Mingmei said: "I've seen his films, and they're not bad."

Is it?

"Dad, didn't you hum an English song while driving that day? I think the melody is very good, didn't Uncle Li say that he was filming a road movie, I think it's very suitable" At this time, Yu Tongtong next to him spoke.

Hotel California?

It's okay to pour.

"Okay, contact Li Yunjie, and I'll meet Director Smith."

At a café called Urth Caffe in Los Angeles, Yu Dongqing and Mingmei, as well as Yu Tongtong, met Smith.

The café is quite high-end, and there is a small band singing American country ballads.

Li Yunjie and his agent Wang Dongming accompanied him. There is also a white man with glasses, who is the film's producer, William, who is polite, but there is a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

He was dragged over by Smith, and of course he wanted to meet the musician from China.

After everyone sat down with each other and introduced each other, Smith couldn't wait to briefly tell the storyline of the movie he made, and asked Yu Dongqing to write a movie theme song.

"Mr. Yu, write a rock-style song related to travel that fits the style of the film." Smith demanded.

Yu Dongqing nodded, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard William speak, his attitude was polite, but his tone was quite arrogant: "Mr. Yu, may I ask you, have you ever written rock songs?" ”

it!

What does this mean?

Yu Dongqing hadn't spoken yet, but Mingmei was unhappy, and her tone was a little indifferent.

"Mr. William, my husband has an unparalleled talent in music, and I can proudly say that there is no type of song that he can't write."

Oops

Daughter-in-law, don't say that, others will laugh at your arrogance.

Sure enough, William smiled: "Dear Ms. Ming, I know that you are proud of your husband, but unfortunately, there is no such all-rounder in this world." ”

"As far as I know, Mr. Yu is good at folk songs, as well as pop songs, and he also has a lot of research on your Chinese pentatonic scale, as for rock."

William said this, took a sip of his coffee cup, and didn't say any more.

"Uncle, you're not right, my dad can write rock songs!" Yu Tongtong suddenly spoke, also speaking English.

"Oh, this beautiful girl, what rock songs did your dad write?" William asked rhetorically with a smile.

Yu Tongtong snorted and actually sang.

On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light

It was the song "Hotel California" that Yu Dongqing sang on the road!
