As soon as the song starts.

George's expression changed suddenly!

“O

The sense of picture is too strong!

A scene immediately popped into Jack's mind.

On Route 66.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he drove through the deserted Gobi Desert in a dilapidated old pickup truck, and finally encountered an equally dilapidated California Hotel at dusk.

The blood-red sunset slowly poured down, completely enveloping the row of locomotives at the door.

People in leather suits, smoking low-quality cigars, gather in groups with frozen dark beer, and all the memories are buried in the beer foam......

This song seems to be dressed in the coat of big~hemp rock~love, but in fact, it is about the lack of cultural beliefs in the sixties and seventies.

The California Hotel, beautiful women, etc., all vaguely reflect the lost and confused mental state of the hippie freelancers, and also symbolize the values of materialism in that era.

What shocked Jack the most was the lyrics at the end.

“You ca

check out a

y time you like，but you ca

eve

leave。 ”

At Hotel California, you can check out at any time, but you can never leave.

After experiencing the helplessness and struggle of innocence, people will eventually be poisoned by money and products, and will be polished by life to be smooth and mercenary.

At Hotel California, it's all of us.

Jack's scalp is numb and trembling!

He couldn't find any words to describe it other than shock!

"This piece is so beautifully written!"

"The artistic level of lyrics and songs is all at the palace level!"

He looked at Gu Cheng with a strange expression.

"Gu Cheng, sometimes I really suspect that you were a native of Country M in your last life."

"How did you write such weird, obscure, but fitting lyrics from the old days of country M?"

The biggest flaw of "Hotel California" is the lyrics.

The song has an eerie cinematic rhythm that turns women, suckers, and ys into ephemeral forms, jumping through the lyrics like ghosts wandering at night.

The negative and depressed thoughts represented by these elements have made the lyrics repeatedly criticized.

Gu Cheng only cared about one issue.

"So can you pass the trial?"

Jack nodded confidently.

"Others don't know, but we're the world's largest music company, so it's a matter of whether we can do it or not."

"That's it, there's another question."

"Is the prelude to this piece too long?"

Perhaps geniuses always like to go off the rails.

The last song, "Hey Jude", was more than seven minutes long, and George already felt that it was outrageous enough.

It turns out that this song is even longer!

On top of that, the light prelude has more than two minutes!

It's outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous!

"Gu Cheng, why don't we make the prelude a little shorter?"

"Don't fix it!"

Gu Cheng shook his head and said bluntly: "If you want to make the whole one, or pull it down!" ”

Jack still doesn't think it's good to have two songs so long on an album.

"But how many songs in the world have such a long intro?"

Gu Cheng was silent.

Seeing this, Su Qi hurriedly stepped forward to play the round.

"I think it's the intro that's the unique charm of this piece."

"It just makes the whole song stand out from it."

Jack wanted to say something more.

Su Qi interrupted him with a smile.

"Mr. Jack, you've been a music director for so long, so you must know one thing."

"Some songs are good for listening to with headphones, but some songs are good for listening to the sound of the engine and the wind."

Gu Cheng finally spoke: "Su Qi's words are exactly what I want to say. ”

"Or Mr. Jack, do you want to wait for us to make a sample and hear the effect before making a decision?"

Gu Cheng insisted very much on the prelude to this piece.

It's not a song that is good enough.

Who dares to use a prelude of more than two minutes long!

After all, it's a bit of a cigarette.

The original prelude wasn't really that long.

In the 1994 Frozen Hell Concert, the Eagles made a comeback, and the audience's love for the band, the nostalgia for the melody, and the resonance of the lyrics were all engraved in this song at that moment, giving it vitality and feelings beyond the original.

Those cheers and this version of live have become an insurmountable classic.

Jack didn't insist anymore.

"Okay, then let's go and do a sample first."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today, because I have something to trouble Mr. Jack."

Gu Cheng put a high hat on Jack.

"And no one else can do this, only you can!"

"It's so hard?"

When Jack heard this, he was immediately aroused by Gu Cheng.

"Tell me what's going on."

"That's right, because it's a quintet, guitar dude."

"So I'm going to trouble Mr. Jack and help a couple of rock singers in the industry to work with me."

Jack thought it was something big.

Universal is the largest music company in the world, and there are the most singers for nothing.

As Jack's music director, it's really not a problem to ask for a few rock singers to make cameos.

So he nodded generously.

"It's just a few rock singers, no problem."

"I just don't know what kind of rock singer you're looking for? What are the requirements? ”

"If it's another song, as long as the other party has excellent professional ability, it's fine."

Gu Cheng laid the groundwork first, and then got to the point.

"But this piece is a guitar duet, so I need two guitar masters."

"Hotel California" can become a classic of world music, so that countless people never get tired of listening to it.

Not only are the lyrics brilliant enough, but the excellent sound effect is also one of the reasons why it is the best wing in the audition music.

Among them, the guitar duet interpretation has made countless guitar fans worship it as a masterpiece.

Because the guitar performance of this song represents the super high level of guitar playing in the 70s.

Beginners who want to play it down need at least 5 years of experience, and if they want to play it with emotion, they have to be supported by talent.

Such a classic masterpiece.

Gu Cheng can't and doesn't want to live up.

"Two top guitar masters?"

Jack squinted and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" ”

Gu Cheng smiled and said bluntly: "Since the guitars are all at the master level, then other basses and other basses naturally have to be at the top level in the industry." ”

"Of course, if it's a national treasure artist, then it's even better."

"National treasure?"

Jack laughed angrily at Gu Cheng's shamelessness.

"Gu Cheng, you kid really dare to put forward conditions!"

A master with a top level, who is not a world-renowned big-name artist.

How can such a big name be willing to condescend and match a Chinese person?

Especially if you want a few!

Gu Cheng also knew that he was asking too much.

Hurry up and put a high hat on the other person.

"That's why I said that no one else can do this, and only Mr. Jack himself can have a chance to succeed."

"This is my favorite song on the whole album, and it's up to you whether it can be released smoothly!"

Jack was silent.

The top management of Universal took this album very seriously.

Before Jack left, the higher-ups specially told him not to interfere with any of Gu Cheng's creations.

As long as Gu Cheng can complete the new album as soon as possible, he can meet all his requirements within a reasonable range.

Five rock artists are really hard for others.

But Jack has been the music director of Universal for so many years, and he still has this connection.

No matter how bad it is, the company will take action.

"Aren't they just five rock singers?"

"As long as you finish this album well."

"Don't say it's five national treasure singers, even if you want 100, I'll find them for you!"

Gu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll wait for good news from Mr. Jack!"

But 100 rockers?

This made Gu Cheng's heart light up, and he suddenly had an excellent idea in his mind.

At night.

He deliberately found an excuse to avoid Su Qi.

Then he invited Jack to a café for a discussion.

After the pleasantries, Jack got to business.

"The rock singer you're looking for today, I've found it for you!"

"The five are all palace-level rock artists, especially guitars, and I found you national treasure artists Glee and Henry."

"So fast?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, a little curious: "But how did you convince them?" ”

Speaking of this, Jack had to sigh.

Originally, he thought that it would take a lot of trouble, but as soon as he said that he was cooperating with Gu Cheng, this group of artists with above the top of the eye directly nodded and agreed.

As for the two national treasure artists who are said to be incompatible, they also decided to cooperate after seeing the score and being shocked.

But this Jack naturally doesn't plan to tell the truth, he still has to take care of the good of the city company, as well as his favors.

So he changed the subject directly.

"You don't care how you convince you, it's done anyway!"

"By the way, what's the matter with you looking for me so late?"

"There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Gu Cheng got straight to the point.

"Well, today you said you could help me find 100 rock singers?"

Jack squirted out a sip of coffee.

Gu Cheng's eyes quickly dodged.

George didn't care about wiping it, and said in disbelief: "Isn't it Gu Cheng?" ”

"Do you really want 100 rock singers?"

"Yes!" Gu Cheng nodded seriously, "It's okay if you don't have 100, of course, it's better to have as many as possible!" ”

"It's not Gu Cheng!"

George said, "Let's not mention the question of whether I can find it." ”

"You now have five national treasure rock artists."

"We're going to record a single song, is it necessary for you to be so excited?"

"I'm not doing it for nothing."

Gu Cheng explained: "Because I want to charter a tavern, and then have a party of rock singers, and by the way, I recorded the MV and song of this song." ”

George was completely unconvinced.

"What else?"

Gu Cheng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said bluntly: "Isn't it almost Valentine's Day?" ”

"I want to give Su Qi a Valentine's Day surprise on that day!"

“……”

Jack was once again impressed by Gu Cheng's shamelessness.

"Gu Cheng, you ...... You kid, this is making the world your own home, right? ”

"Find a hundred rock singers, just to celebrate Valentine's Day for you......"

"Mr. Jack, if you can do what I want."

Gu Cheng directly interrupted him.

"Then I'll release another global album!"

Jack was stunned, and choked back all the words that came to his mouth.

"Really?!"

"Seriously!" Gu Cheng nodded, "And I promise to finish this album within three months!" ”

"Mr. Jack, this wave of transactions, the company is not losing at all!"

Jack couldn't argue with that.

It's not hard for the company to find a rock party from scratch.

He has even thought of a scheme for implementation.

"Okay! Then give me this matter, and I'll communicate with the company! ”

"But where do we go to find a Hotel California?"

Gu Cheng thought for a while, "As long as the recording equipment and soundproofing equipment are good enough, and they can be used for us on Valentine's Day, I don't have any requirements for the venue." ”

Jack nodded, "I'll take care of that venue!" ”

As long as Gu Cheng completes the second album within three months.

Even if there really isn't a proper tavern in California, Jack will build one even if he builds one!

"But since it's a surprise, what are you going to do with Su Qi?"

"It's simple, just let her record the rest of the songs on the album first."

"So, the rest of the singles are written?"

Gu Cheng nodded and took out two music scores from his arms.

"The next song is similar to "500 miles", it's all called "Take Me Home Cou."

t

y Roads》。 ”

"This song Su Qi is still with Kenny. Roger worked together. ”

"The last song, let me do it myself!"

Since it's a country music album.

That Take Me Home Cou

t

Y Roads is naturally essential.

If your English teacher doesn't give you the song, then he's incompetent.

This song in Chinese "Country Road Take Me Home", known as the eternal number one of country music, is a classic work of country music representative Han Denver, and has appeared in the Miyazaki film "Listen Closely" and "Ace Agent".

When we were young, we longed for a distant foreign land, we were determined to pack our bags and go on the road, longing for a life "on the road", and only when we were really far away from our hometown did we remember all the good things in our hometown.

Many people think that this is a homesick song, but in fact, its theme is actually environmental protection and public welfare.

This song has a melodious and light tone, depicting a beautiful western scenery of country M and chic cowboys.

When you're on a country road somewhere in West Forginia.

When you're sitting in Uncle Farm's old pickup, the weather is clear, the prairie fields are on both sides, and the sky is blue and white, and it's really nice to put on such a piece of country music.

The last song was "Blowi."

This is one of the most important works in the history of American folk songs, written by Bob, who is recognized as the grandmaster of the folk song generation. Dylan.

Bob. Dylan, a beautiful ~ general ~ general and a legend of the palace who shook hands with him and wanted to trot to greet him.

He created a new genre that combined country folk and rock, guitar and harmonica playing style, and the U.S. military was mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam ~ War, but he went to the labor army to sing anti-war songs......

A legendary story, a legendary life.

The first time Gu Cheng heard this anti-war song was sung by Jenny in the movie "Forrest Gump".

What is touching is that Bob. Dylan brings new songs to fans every time he performs live.

For this work, Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

How many times does a person have to turn his head before he can pretend that he has seen nothing; How many ears does a person have to hear the miserable cry of those behind him; How many people have to be sacrificed to know that there are already too many people who have died.

Other songs can be done without this album.

But this song alone must not be absent.

Because the US side should really listen to the people's cries and shouts seriously.
