Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 500 Griffith Observatory Star Watching
William was surprised when he heard that, and Yu Dongqing was also surprised.

What surprised William was that the pretty girl's slightly immature voice was obviously not suitable for singing such a song, but he knew it was a good song after hearing just the first few lines.

Yu Dongqing was surprised that she only sang it a few times on the California highway, but she didn't expect her daughter to remember it!
Simply a legendary genius?
Fortunately, Yu Tongtong couldn't remember the lyrics in the middle of singing, and started humming.

When the girl finished singing, Smith asked, "Excuse me, girl, what's the name of this song?"

"Hotel California." Yu Tongtong replied crisply.

Good name!
Listening to this name gives people a sense of wandering.

"Mr. Yu, can you give an audition?" Smith couldn't wait.

He couldn't read the score, and wanted to hear it right away. He felt that this song must be better sung by Yu Dongqing.

"Now?"

Yu Dongqing looked around, there were other customers in the cafe.

Smith misunderstood what he meant, thinking that there was no musical instrument, and immediately stood up and walked to the band on stage, chatted with him, and the other party nodded with a smile.

Smith returned to his original position and said to Yu Dongqing: "Mr. Yu, I have agreed with the band, you can use the instrument as you like."

Yu Dongqing was no longer polite, walked over to take an electric guitar from a young man, and said thank you very politely.

The guests in the cafe looked at the oriental man curiously.

Yu Dongqing held the guitar, tried the strings, and began to play.

The prelude is long.

The customers were a little puzzled. They rarely heard such a long prelude. Could it be pure music?
But the eyes of several members of the band lit up.

Simple guitar playing is very characteristic.

rock?ballad?
It seems that there is a bit of reggae music in it.

And this guitar chord.

For a full 2 ​​minutes, the cafe was quiet, only the sound of Yu Dongqing playing the guitar echoed, until the customer thought the song would go on like this, but unexpectedly the singer began to sing slowly.

The voice is vicissitudes.

On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
The warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
The lyrics seem a bit weird, but they are sad and confused, making people seem to see the hippies who were popular in the last century, driving a yellow Beetle, galloping unscrupulously on the California highway.

After Yu Dongqing finished singing, the lead singer of the band - the young man with long hair looked excited: "Sir, what's the name of this song?"

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to answer again: "Hotel California"

"The writing is great! Especially in the prelude, I feel that one guitar is not enough. It should be better for a band to have three guitars, a 6-string lead, a 12-string rhythm, and a double guitar lead and rhythm. I think it sounds better when I wake up," said the young man.

Sure enough, he knows how to do it.

The Eagles used these three guitars to conquer the world during their Hell Freezes Over composite concert in 94.

The two were chatting when William came over and said solemnly to Yu Dongqing: "Mr. Yu, I apologize for what I just said, you are such a great musician, we urgently need the song "Hotel California" .”

Yu Dongqing nodded.

Naturally, songs like this cannot be sung in China, so let's stay in the United States.

Of course, copyright issues still require agreement between the two parties, but Yu Dongqing was too lazy to worry about it and called Yang Liu back to let the studio handle it.

Now I have to write this song when I go back, but I still chatted with the band in this cafe for a while before leaving.

Then I learned that this band is called Robby Folk Band, and the leader and lead singer is named James. When the other party heard the name Yu Dongqing, they were immediately surprised and happy.

"'Scarborough Fair'! You wrote this song, it's so great!"

Yes, it sounds good.

In the original time and space, the two old men sang better.

After breaking up with Smith and the others in the coffee shop, Yu Dongqing returned to the hotel to write the lyrics. As for the arrangement - he only put forward some suggestions and opinions of his own, and let the Americans figure it out by themselves.

The work was completed quickly, and Yu Dongqing sent it to Smith's e-mail, and then started playing on her own.

But what Yu Dongqing didn't expect was that Yu Tongtong insisted on going to Griffith Observatory to watch the stars after playing on the Santa Monica beach during the day and watching movies at Universal Studios Hollywood at night.

You are an art student, why are you suddenly interested in astronomers?

Yu Dongqing really can't figure it out, are the stars in foreign countries brighter than those in China?
However, the reason given by her daughter made Yu Dongqing dumbfounded.

"I saw on Twitter that the top platform of the observatory is also the most beautiful place to overlook the panoramic view of Los Angeles. If you go there in the evening, you can see the beautiful sunset and night view. Dad, if you take pictures with the sunset or night view as the background, I think it will be beautiful."

After working for a long time, it turned out that you wanted to take pictures?
After hearing Yu Tongtong's reason, Mingmei, who didn't want to go at first, became more active.

What woman doesn't like to be photographed?
Especially pretty women.

Ok
Yu Dongqing agreed.

The weather was fine today, the sky was blue, and in the evening, the family of three drove to Griffith Observatory by car.

The observatory is located on a hill northwest of downtown Los Angeles, opposite Hollywood Hills.It is a landmark building in Los Angeles.

The Griffith Observatory at dusk is especially beautiful. When the light of sunset shines on the building of the observatory, everything exudes a holy and charming light. Mingmei and Yu Tongtong are busy taking pictures, and Yu Dongqing is naturally the best photographer.

After nightfall, the three of them watched the bustling and bright urban night scene on the observatory. The lights of thousands of houses in Los Angeles seemed to be full of flickering galaxies.

Now that you have come to the observatory, you have to look at the stars. There are fixed telescopes in the observatory, and visitors can watch them for free.

Yu Dongqing looked curiously, and what he saw was a sky full of stars, but with his poor knowledge of astronomy, he couldn't tell the constellations at all.

I can only sigh like my daughter: "It's so beautiful." Of course, there are also those words that have become popular.

"Our journey is the sea of ​​stars."

"Dad, I've seen an American movie. It says that one day in the future, when the sun is about to go out, human beings have to drive spaceships to escape the solar system and finally establish a new country. There is a scene in which the starry sky is used as the background. The shot is really beautiful." Yu Tongtong said while watching.

"You mean "Silver Star Empire 3"? Tongtong?" Mingmei interjected, "I think it's the best film in the Silver Star Empire series, and the special effects are simply amazing."

"Yes, the starry sky is very beautiful."

The mother and daughter were chatting when Yu Dongqing suddenly said something.

"Then why not escape the solar system with the Earth?"

　Thanks to Xicheng Xue Erlang for the reward, and thanks to Waiting for Mido’s monthly vote.
