Chapter 921 The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon (4000+ chapters~)
Wu Jianye didn't stay too long in London. He got off the plane and went directly to the hotel. After resting in the hotel for a night, he went to meet Paul McCartney!
As the first member of the Beatles to quit, Paul McCartney once appealed to the court to request the complete disbandment of the Beatles. This shows that Paul McCartney is a singer with character, and he actually saved lives in concerts.
It was once rumored that the Beatles would reunite and perform in concerts.
This is the closest the Beatles have come to a reunion since John Lennon's death.
But in the end, only Paul McCartney appeared and sang "Let It Be".
In fact, Paul McCartney's situation is similar to that of Bob Dylan. The two attended the Strawberry Music Festival organized by Wu Jianye more because of their friendship. At this time, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan
Dylan is a top-level singer, and he doesn’t participate in every music festival!
When Wu Jianye called Paul McCartney before, he thought that the other party would arrange to meet at a coffee shop, but he did not expect that it would be in a bar!
"I like the environment here, the music here is pure!" Paul McCartney held the wine glass in his hand, looked at the band singing on the stage, and said with a smile.
Wu Jianye laughed, but had a different opinion: "Not necessarily, I think there should be quite a few bands here, right?"
Paul McCartney looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, "Wu, do you know this place?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I don't know. If you hadn't invited me here today, I wouldn't have known there was such a place in London."
"Then how did you know?" Paul McCartney asked curiously.
"Let me guess, this bar must have been open for many years. At the beginning, there should be some well-known underground rock bands in London. Then it attracted a lot of fans to come here to listen to music. Gradually,
The reputation here is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more audiences are coming. In the end, it even attracts the attention of some record companies. At that time, the managers of the record companies will come here to explore some potential bands...
...." Having said this, Wu Jianye smiled.
"You don't need me to tell you what happens next, right?"
Paul McCartney took a sip of the beer in his hand, and then said with a wry smile: "Wu, do you have to make things so true?"
"The key is this fact. When many people started playing music, it was out of their true love. But as time goes by, some people may be forced to make a living, while others want their songs to be heard.
Being heard and liked by more people will make you forget your original intention over time!"
"Is that why you have the Strawberry Festival?" Paul McCartney asked thoughtfully.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, for this reason, Europe and the United States and other places are better. After all, the music market here is on the right track, but the music market in China has not yet been able to provide some people who simply like music, but
Bands that have no way of supporting themselves cannot be provided with a platform that allows them to earn a living through their music!”
"Aren't you worried that when your Chinese Strawberry Music Festival becomes more influential, it will become a music festival that is no longer so simple?"
"Is it like the dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Paul McCartney smiled, "It's a good metaphor, that's pretty much what it means. It's not like there are no such music festivals in Europe. Their original intentions are good, but as the commercialization of music festivals becomes more and more serious,
They may have lost their original intention and turned into an...evil dragon."
Wu Jianye said: "I don't deny that the Strawberry Music Festival may look like that in the future!"
This kind of thing is almost inevitable. When the influence of the Strawberry Music Festival grows, there will be many bands that want to participate, but the Strawberry Music Festival only lasts so long, and they still need to attract fans.
At that time, the managers of the Strawberry Music Festival would inevitably select the bands that were more famous and more able to attract the audience!
Just like a later variety show that mainly focuses on complaining, in the first and second seasons, the real complaints were indeed made, and they were very sharp, turning an under-appreciated variety show into a watchable one.
A variety show with a huge crowd.
And it is precisely because of this that more and more popular celebrities want to participate, but as popular celebrities participate, there are more and more restrictions, and the guests who complained can no longer really complain. By the final season
, complaining turned into whitewashing, and the soul of this program disappeared.
"However, we cannot deny his current influence because of what may happen to him in the future. I hope that the Strawberry Music Festival can become the forerunner of our Chinese music. After all, will the final dragon slayer become an evil dragon? What we need first
It’s the Dragon Slayer!”
Paul McCartney fell into deep thought after listening to this, and finally said: "I still use this as a metaphor. Although many people have left here, there are also many people who have joined in, right?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, no matter what the purpose of these new people is, at least here now, they still need to use pure music to attract the audience here before talking about anything else!"
Paul McCartney laughed: "Yes, I'm a little too obsessed with this!"
After laughing, Paul McCartney raised the wine glass in his hand to Wu Jianye, smiled and toasted to Wu Jianye: "Wu, I think I should thank you for solving something that has puzzled me for a long time!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "That's so polite. If I want to say thank you, I should also thank you. Your participation in the Strawberry Music Festival makes me more confident that it will be a success!"
The two clink glasses and drink!
The two of them just chatted casually and listened to music. Unknowingly, it was already late at night, and at this time, the two of them said goodbye to each other with unfinished feelings.
"Paul, I'll wait for you in Yanjing!"
Wu Jianye shook hands with Paul McCartney at the door of the bar.
Although I only invited three people this time, these three people are really well-known internationally. Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney are top-level singers. It can be said that they are the most popular rock bands in China.
Singers’ first teachers, such as Cui Jian, were the first to listen to the Beatles’ songs and then began to think about playing rock music!
The two of them participating in the Strawberry Music Festival will attract more singers to participate.
Although Michael Jackson is on par with these two in the global music scene, Michael Jackson's influence in the hearts of ordinary fans around the world is even greater.
Since these three people have agreed to participate in the Strawberry Music Festival, Wu Jianye naturally has to go back in advance to arrange security matters, and also reports to the relevant domestic departments!
Their arrival is definitely the most sensational event in China in recent years.
After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye fell asleep...
On the second day, Zhao Xiaoyan, Zhang Xiaolei, Zhao Xiaofeng, Ren Qiao, Chen Chen, and Li Can all came to the hotel.
"You are planning to go back now, aren't you going to play here for a few more days?" Wu Jianye looked at them curiously.
"I've been playing for ten days. It's not short. It's time to go back. There are still many things in the store!" Chen Chen explained.
Zhao Xiaoyan also said: "Yes, I took a month's leave from Taili this time for my wedding, and I have to go back early to prepare for work!"
Li Can and Zhang Xiaolei must have their own affairs.
After Wu Jianye heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, but I still have one thing to do here. I probably won't be able to go back until tomorrow!"
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked curiously.
.......
Manchester, Old Trafford.
"Brother, what you are talking about is to come to the football match!" Zhao Xiaofeng sat next to Wu Jianye, looking at the players warming up in the field, and said somewhat speechlessly.
At first, they all thought that Wu Jianye had something serious to do, but they didn't expect that Wu Jianye came to watch the football match.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's hard to come to England, so naturally I want to watch a Premier League game!"
The Premier League was restructured in 1992. Before that, the highest level league in England was League One!
Although the Premier League is one of the five major leagues in Europe, the British football national team is called the European Chinese team!
At one time, domestic fans would often use such a name to make fun of the British national team, but little did they know that no matter how bad it was, it was still a strong team in the world.
As for the Chinese national team...
Since acquiring Manchester United, Wu Jianye rarely comes to watch games. Regarding the operation of the team, Wu Jianye does not give much advice. Basically, the development of Manchester United is also developing according to the historical trajectory. Since the Premier League
After the restructuring, Manchester United has won two consecutive championships!
This year they are fighting for their third consecutive championship. In fact, Manchester United is indeed leading the league standings at this time. If Cantona does not kick the fans next year, then Manchester United will definitely be able to win three consecutive championships this season.
crown!
It is precisely because of Manchester United's performance that those fans who held high flags against the takeover of Manchester United by Phantom Media have now fallen in love with Phantom Media!
Although the game has not started yet, songs are already ringing in the stadium. This is the fans cheering for their players.
Zhao Xiaofeng was giving popular science knowledge to her two sisters: "Don't look at these fans who are cheering so enthusiastically now. They seem very cute, but in fact I tell you, in England
At night, if you see people wearing autumn clothes, you must stay away from them. British football hooligans are famous all over the world!"
When Zhao Xiaoyan and Chen Chen heard this, they immediately looked through the glass at the bulky Manchester United fans. There were no fans in the hall.
Li Can is obviously a die-hard fan. Although he does not like Manchester United, he is still very happy to watch such a game live!
However, he still said with some sigh: "I don't know when our national football team will be able to break out of Asia and go to the world!"
For Chinese fans, their requirements are actually not high. They just hope that their country's football team can break out of Asia and enter the World Cup finals. Of course, if they do get in, the requirements will naturally increase.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Within ten years, Chinese football will definitely be able to break out of Asia within ten years!"
Wu Jianye's words were without any reason, but for fans like Li Can, they were very happy to hear such words, as if their ideals had been recognized by others.
"Really?" Li Can looked at Wu Jianye excitedly.
Wu Jianye nodded. The first time in the history of Chinese football and the only time until Wu Jianye's rebirth broke out of Asia and entered the World Cup finals was at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan!
Sadly, only once!
There are many stories from that World Cup, and of course the most famous one is that it showed the world how shameless Bangzi can be.
For Chinese fans, that year was both painful and happy. The Chinese football that everyone had been thinking about finally broke out of Asia and entered the World Cup finals!
Wu Jianye still remembers the plans given by some domestic magazines and TV stations at that time.
Beat Costa Rica, tie with Turkey, lose to Brazil, and then enter the top 16 with the goal difference advantage!
The real result is that China lost all three games and returned to China with nothing. Milu, the head coach who led the national team at the time, also changed from a national hero to a national villain...
The game started soon. The referee blew his whistle and the game officially started.
The two sides of the game are a pair of old enemies in the history of British football, Manchester United vs. Liverpool!
Liverpool is the king of English League One. When entering the Premier League era, Manchester United caught up with Liverpool and became the king. When Wu Jianye was reborn, Manchester United fell into a trough with Ferguson's retirement, but Liverpool recovered.
signs...
Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years!
The game process was like the history of the two teams, very intense. Although Wu Jianye was just a fake fan, he was still very excited in this live atmosphere. He shouted along with the fans, "Come on!"
At this time, Manchester United's Class 92 has not officially become the main force of the team. They will have to wait until next year to become the main force of the team!
The main force in the game now is still the players headed by Cantona.
At this time, Cantona also demonstrated why he is called the King of Manchester United, completing a hat-trick in the entire game.
Liverpool is really no match for Manchester United at this time.
At the end of the whole game, the score on the field had become 4:2!
Manchester United achieved a resounding victory.
Wu Jianye did not visit the team. After the game, the group left the field with the fans.
Wu Jianye and others also flew back to China the next day!
