At this time, on the other side of the ocean, Li Jing was watching "On the Road" in his apartment.As an intern at Adventure Comics, the company recruited her, a Chinese intern, to work as an assistant for the company's Chinese translator, Watts.

As one of the three major comic book publishers in the United States, AC holds a number of classic IPs that have lasted for more than 20 years. However, faced with competition from the other two rivals and the lackluster plots of the IPs, AC has been squeezed out by the other two. It is about to fall out of the top three positions.

Fortunately, the company found another way to capture the Chinese-speaking market that the other two companies did not attach much importance to, and was able to maintain its position as the top three.

Li Jing had just joined the company two months ago and was still getting along with the translator. After learning that Watts liked to listen to rock music and was an avid fan of Kerouac, she began to get to know Li Jing's rock and roll and translator. Look for Kerouac's books so that you can have more things to talk about after work.

At first, she insisted on watching it entirely because of her strong thoughts on work. It was only when she saw the protagonist Sal talking about Eastern Zen Buddhism on the road that she felt a little bit more involved.As for rock music, she was in a state of not rejecting or admiring it, but Watts's taste was too strong, and Li Jing, who he liked, couldn't accept it.

Therefore, she also looks for Chinese rock music to wash her ears from time to time.Since I listen to Chinese-language music, the most unavoidable thing right now is Bian Lang and his Rolling Stones.

After putting down the book, Li Jing started to climb over the wall and go back to find Bian Lang's new songs. After chasing Bian Lang for a while, she discovered that Bian Lang was releasing new songs at an extremely fast speed. He also liked to do business secretly and did not officially release new songs. The audio source is a very bad old scam.

Among Bian Lang's previous works, her favorite is "Please Don't Stop My Music". This kind of song that is not too irritable and warm is very in line with her musical aesthetic.

Thinking that Bian Lang would release new songs at the music festival that just ended, Li Jing began to look forward to it.

As a result, I found Bian Lang's super chat and clicked on the pit-filling post to read: "Good guy, this speed is not comparable to that of a donkey in the production team. He is simply a social animal on the production line!"

Because an English song title among a row of Chinese song titles was too eye-catching, Li Jing's eyes were instantly attracted by the song title "Fade To Black".

"Disappear in the darkness? Or be swallowed by the darkness? Or transform into black?" She was not sure how to translate it, so she decided to listen to the song before speaking.

But just when she clicked on the link, she was fixed by the name of another song.

"'Goodbye Jack'? A song for Crooked Nuts?" Thinking of this, her eyes caught a glimpse of Jack Kerouac's name on the cover of On the Road...

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Thinking of this, she clicked the link without hesitation and entered the Xiaopo website.

Not surprisingly, the link is from Little Witch's account, and the version of the song released is a separate version cut from the official video. When the guitar sound of "ding thump thump thump thump..." sounded at the beginning, Li Jing felt a free wind begin to enter her body along her ears...

After hearing: "Goodbye Jack, goodbye my Kerouac...", she felt the urge to share this song with Waltz.

After patiently watching the video of "FadeToBlack" again, she checked the time and it was exactly 9pm.

"Was should still be listening to the live show at the bar!" She remembered that when she got off work today, Wentz mentioned it to her and invited her to join him, but she declined politely. She knew that it was just a casual comment. Besides, she didn't really like that atmosphere either.

Then she took out her mobile phone, opened the chat software and sent a message to Watts: "Ms. Watts, I just heard a musical rock song called "Fade To Black". I can't quite accurately translate its Chinese meaning. I think You must be happy to help me with this, right?"

……

On the Rolling Stone Studio side, Bian Lang was not involved in the specific details. First, it was unprofessional, and second, Walker and Pan Jianhu had already arrived.

Looking at Walker's tired face, Bian Lang guessed that he didn't get a good rest last night.

"Walker, I didn't see you in Mid-Levels last night. Did you take Hatter to the night market?" Bian Lang joked directly.

"Wave, I don't have time to relax now. The head office is forcing me to set a time with you so that we can start the pre-publicity."

Although Walker expressed his words very clearly, Bian Lang didn't quite understand: "Walker, this is Hatter's tour in Europe. Do you want to open up the overseas Chinese market or do you want to promote it in China and prepare for future domestic tours?" Is the concert going to gain popularity in advance?”

"You only guessed half of it right Wave, we have this plan, but more importantly, just yesterday, several companies sponsored Hatter's tour. They were very generous and gave a lot, and the request was to let You go to Europe as soon as possible..."

"What? Is it our Chinese company?" Bian Lang was even more confused by this statement.

He only has one endorsement from his company Xibiqi, which is still the New Pants band. Other than that, he can't think of any other company doing that.But obviously Xibiqi will not do that. The domestic market has not yet opened, let alone foreign countries.

"The head office has not given me any specific news, but I believe there will be news soon. The important thing now is to confirm the next schedule with you."

After saying this, Zhou Ketong happened to bring coffee. He took it and thanked him and took a sip before continuing: "Our plan is like this..."

As he was talking, he took out a document and handed it to Bian Lang. It listed in English and Chinese the number, time, location and scale of the European tour in detail. The start date was November 11nd and the end date was Christmas Day, starting from London. , ended in Berlin, 2 games in total.

Three of them, London, Moscow and Berlin, have been specially marked, with a scale of more than 3 people.

"Wave, we hope that the Rolling Stones can participate in at least 5 tours, the most important three of which are necessary. In the middle of the entire show, the Rolling Stones will be left with 20 to 25 minutes of singing time..."

<divclass="contentadv">When Bianlang didn't reply, Walker continued: "Wave, I suggest you take this opportunity to sign the Rolling Stones' overseas management contract with DGM. This will be more conducive to the Rolling Stones' overseas management. develop."

Although Walker is from the subsidiary company Hoffman, he knows very well that once the song "Fade To Black" comes out, not to mention that Bian Lang doesn't like Hoffman, even the head office DGM will not agree to it.

Bian Lang didn't answer because he was thinking about the time arrangement.

After the music festival, preparations for the filming of "Thirty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Land" will begin, and the tour of new pants will also be planned. These two things he must personally participate in. As for Dong Youbian's LIVE and Liu Yao's concerts are all in October, so there won't be any conflicts.

Domestic is currently his basic market, so he needs to coordinate this schedule well.

"Walker, I can promise you these three games, and I will give you an answer after communicating with the agent for the other games. As for the agent appointment, I am not in a hurry. My main focus now will only be on China."

After receiving Bian Lang's accurate answer, Walker's heart was relieved.

Then he continued: "Wave, as Hoffman's music director, I would like to give you a piece of advice in a personal capacity."

Bian Lang saw that Walker's tone suddenly became serious. He straightened his back and responded seriously: "Walker, I also hope to hear your suggestions."

"Although I know that you are good at creating different styles of rock music, I feel that the repertoire for this performance should not go beyond the scope of metal."

Many other things don't need explanation, Bian Lang can understand them too.

Hatter is a metal band, and their fans are mainly metal fans. If you want to sing reggae in the middle, the atmosphere of the whole performance will be ruined for you.

If it's Bian Lang's own performance, it doesn't matter. The music fans should have been cultivated by him anyway, but if he does that in other people's performances, he doesn't know how to behave.Thinking of this, he decided to call Liu Yao as soon as possible after talking here to confirm this matter.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Walker. I'll choose the songs carefully."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Pan Jianhu, who had been unable to get a word in, was filled with emotion.

If this kind of opportunity fell to other domestic bands, I'm afraid it would be an opportunity that no one could ask for. Being able to give the Rolling Stones the three most important guest opportunities, the inexplicable commercial sponsorship is one thing, and Hatter's recognition of the Rolling Stones' music is also A more important aspect.

After all, at the level of Hatter, you are qualified to refuse some unreasonable requests. Moreover, even if the company imposes pressure, it can be solved by using the warm-up position instead of directly giving the guest position in the midfield.

He also determined the three most important performances. With this treatment, he didn’t know who the next band would be. At the same time, he was also looking forward to how Bian Lang would choose songs.

After all, in his decades of career, this is the first time that a Chinese band has been seriously recognized by European and American circles!This is the first time for the Chinese rock music circle, and it is also the first time for the European and American rock circles.

For this kind of opportunity, he would have to struggle to death in choosing songs!

……

It was 10:[-] pm US time. Watts came out of the bar and was not having a good time. Because tonight's LIVE, her favorite band's performance time was delayed by the previous band's tuning, and she ended up playing two songs. .

Before she could climax, she suddenly stopped.

In the car on the way home, she took out her phone and was about to complain about it on YouTube, when she saw the message Li Jing sent her.

When she clicked on the name "FadeToBlack", she became interested, but when she clicked on the music software, she found that the song was not available. Then she turned to YouTube and searched again, and the first place on the list was the live video sent by Bob.

Seeing that it was posted by Bob, she instinctively felt that this was Hatter's new work. She was still wondering why Zhang Jing listened to Hatter's music, but when he clicked on the video, he saw several oriental faces coming into view, and when he saw Bob When she was on stage, she felt like she had seen a ghost.

"What does this mean? Bob left Hatter?"

But the moment the sound of the electric piano sounded, she was stunned!

As a metal fan, although Hatter is not her natural band, he is still aware of its musical style. Such delicate things will not appear in Hatter's music!

When Bob's prelude solo came along, she was so shocked that her pupils dilated.

The words "ThrashMetal!" just came out of my mouth!

One chapter is still owed, and 17 chapters are still owed.
