Chapter 637 Invitation from the Los Angeles Fire Department
"Jimmy, is this really the song you wrote?"
Banbo looked at Liu Lang as if he had seen a ghost.
"Well, last year when I was walking in the fields in my hometown, I was attracted by the surrounding scenery, so I came up with this song. You guys think it's okay!"
"Is it OK? If this song can only be considered OK, then there is no other song that is OK. I think this song The Sounds Of Silence can definitely become a world-class song, and it is well-deserved!"
"Yes, this piece of music is so nice. Jimmy, if you play it again, I will definitely record it!"
There was no way, Liu Lang played it again at everyone's request. Six or seven people, including Banbo, took pens to write down the score. As for the others who didn't have this ability, after all, they were not music majors.
"Great, Jimmy, this piece can be used as a piece for our musical, and it's no worse than Edelweiss. It's an original piece. Once it gets circulated, it will even attract professional musicians. Then you will be famous.
Then our music club will also become famous, which is great!"
Their opera is The Sound of Music. Although there are some changes to the script, the music is still the same as the original movie. After all, the songs in it are all classics. Even though they can also compose some songs, they are far inferior to the original, but Liu
The quality of Lang's song is higher than the original, and there is no problem that it will become a world-famous song.
"These guys are using my world-famous songs as opera repertoire. Do you really think your opera can be staged on Broadway?"
Liu Lang now wants to set up his own entertainment company, not accompany these young people to play at the school level.
"Bambo, I want to see what level your music is at. Can you play a piece of music?"
Liu Lang asked rhetorically.
"…………!"
This stopped them all.
In terms of his performance level, Liu Lang can only be regarded as average. Everyone present who can play the piano is basically better than him. But in terms of creation, the piece of music just now cannot be matched by all the people put together.
Being able to create world-class music, just one piece, can be called a musician. Therefore, in the eyes of people like Banbo, Liu Lang's musical attainments have surpassed them in a short period of time. Now musicians have to
Looking at their performance level, it really feels like they are just trying to do what they do best.
"Jimmy, our level...well, okay, come on, Brewer, Donna, let's play an Edelweiss!"
Of course, the opera troupe must have its own orchestra, with a total of fifteen people. Bamber plays cello and conducts, six violins, a piano, three trumpets and a bass drum, and the remaining three are singing and harmonizing.
These people did not hesitate and played the famous song Edelweiss under the conductor of Bamber.
How to say?
The level of these people should not be low, and everyone has a certain level of skills, otherwise they would not be members of the Stanford University Opera Troupe, but they are far from professional, and this level can only be played at the university level.
Liu Lang's plan is to first form a small band, and then release some classic songs, which will definitely attract everyone's attention. Then he will set up a company around the band and become famous based on the songs in his head. This process
It will be very fast, because the United States has various music charts, such as Golden Melody Awards, Platinum Records, Billboard, etc. The most famous one is the Grammy Awards. You only need to win one or two of these awards to become famous.
But now it seems that the students at Stanford University are not at this level, and amateur players will never be able to compare with professional players.
Now there is no news about Ye Jinsheng in Hong Kong Island. It seems that he is not planning to develop in the United States. Of course Liu Lang will not blame him. He has established his own entertainment kingdom in Hong Kong Island. As long as he manages it well, it will surely grow in the future. Let him put it down.
Of course, I will have many worries when I go to the United States and start all over again.
Of course, when Liu Lang established an entertainment company, he would not run it himself. Just like Shengtang, he was only responsible for the creation. The CIA would find him anyway, but since it is his own company, he naturally has to use his own people.
If Ye Jinsheng cannot come, then he can only settle for the next best thing and let Lucas find some professionals to manage it based on his connections in Hollywood.
This matter is really a bit scratching my head.
Liu Lang nodded while thinking.
"Well, not bad, not bad, very good!"
After hearing Liu Lang's praise, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
In this way, Liu Lang joined the opera troupe, but his roles were few. In addition, he became famous with one song. The people in the opera troupe respected him very much and would not "trouble" him unless they were rehearsing his plays.
Just like that, half a month passed in a flash, and Liu Lang's life was still the same as before, absorbing knowledge every day.
As soon as he arrived at the school that day, he was stopped by the dean, Professor Phelps.
"Jimmy, the Los Angeles Fire Department is here to find you, right in my office!"
"They came to see me again? What happened?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Two years ago, there was a fire at the Sears Hotel in Los Angeles. The fire claimed the lives of five people and 11 others suffered severe burns. One of them was a six-year-old boy who lost his left arm.
Legs, this child's name is Louis Wayne. A child who has just been six years old has lost the ability to move. Even adults can't bear it.
Although he is young, he is very optimistic. Even after losing his leg, he touched many people with his smile. The Los Angeles Times even opened a column for him, publishing his latest news every other week. This column is called "Come on Wayne."
"'s column has allowed Little Wayne to have hundreds of thousands of readers, receive thousands of letters, and become a very famous star in more than a year. Even Hollywood stars sometimes visit him.
Little Wayne is going to school this year, and the Los Angeles Fire Department is holding a school ceremony for him to encourage him, and they also want to invite you to attend Wayne's school ceremony!"
Phelps replied.
"oh!"
So that’s it!
Just as Professor Phelps said, Liu Lang had seen this little column "Go Wayne" in the Los Angeles Times. Every once in a while, some photos and words of Wayne would be published. Of course, they were all healthy and uplifting, such as
There are photos of him playing basketball with his brother while sitting in a wheelchair, and photos of him climbing mountains with prosthetic legs.
This small column is very inspirational and has inspired many children and even adults. Look at a disabled child who is so optimistic. Why would those who are able-bodied not work hard? Therefore, the Los Angeles Times has achieved good results by launching this small column.
It's a good marketing tool.
Liu Lang certainly has a good relationship with the Los Angeles Fire Department. He licensed the patent of the fire ladder to them for free. I heard that tens of thousands of this new type of ladder were produced in less than half a year, not only for the Los Angeles Fire Department, but also for surrounding areas.
The state or city has also replaced them with new ladders. Liu Lang's invention has now saved hundreds of lives. The fire department's invitation to attend the child's entrance ceremony is also a sign of respect for Liu Lang.
Liu Lang and Phelps came to the dean's office. There were two people sitting in the room. They were very powerful in uniforms. One of them was Deputy Director Banks who came to see Liu Lang last time.
