Chapter 159 158. JX Invasion
At 9 o'clock in the morning of the East Eighth District time, the time in New York, USA is just after 9 o'clock in the evening.

Axl, who just hung up the phone, still had a smile on his face, and finally turned into a deep sigh as the phone was busy beeping.

"Okay, guys, there's no time for sorrow," Jeff stood up, "There are tens of thousands of people waiting for you outside!"

Everyone got up one after another, stretched their waists, took the piano, and turned out and back the trouser pockets of their costumes.

"go! go! go!"

"get high!"

The lights shine on, and the sound of helicopter propellers overwhelms waves of people.

The high platform rises in the center of Times Square, reflecting the neon lights of the distant square buildings.

On the big screen of the building, the golden letters of Guns&Roses are dazzling.

Below the high platform, waves of people came and went, like waves of swaying wheat, and waves of cheers rose and fell like tides.

Axl Rose slowly rose from the lifting platform and entered the crowd's sight. He was wearing a black T-shirt on his upper body, a pair of red boxer briefs on his lower body, and his slightly curly long hair was fluttering.

A burst of louder cheers covered the roar of the helicopter's propellers, and the helicopter drifted away, while the patrol cars on the ground stood ready.

"Just now, just now," the lead singer on stage hugged the microphone, "JX's friends called us."

The audience in the audience stared at the stage in confusion.

"JX, friends, JX!" The lead singer's male duck voice was extremely penetrating, "Next you will hear "November Rain" (November Rain) written by JX, and I will give it to everyone!"

The audience seemed to understand what was going on, and the screams were like waves hitting rocks, and the crowd relayed the fainted people out of the field.

The sound of the piano and the violin sounded together, the epic and majestic sound of the piano, and the melodious sound of the flute added in the middle, as if whispering a long story.

"When I look into your eyes, I see suppressed love.

But darling, when I hug you, do you know that I feel the same way?
Because nothing is eternal, we understand that hearts will change. "

The crowd was shaking, rising and falling with the music.

This 9-minute song, due to its length, cannot be played on any radio station, because no radio station will spare 9 minutes to play this song.

But the song, with its solid strength, went straight to No. 30 in the Billboard Hot Singles, second only to "Don't Cry" (Don't Cry) in the same album.

It was rated as "perfect masterpiece" and "poetic symphonic rock" by the majority of music critics.

At the same time, its MV won the best photography on MTV, and its monthly views on Youtube exceeded [-] million.

Because of this MV, the bosses of major musical instrument stores are crazy, and their monthly guitar sales have tripled year-on-year.

Slash with the guitar in his arms stood there, like a lone wolf, plucking the guitar with his fingers. After many years, this solo will be included in the documentary and become one of the "Ten Most Wonderful Solos in Rock History".

……

"Are these albums also written by JX? Or are they just given to him by others?" Gao Xiaobai asked.

"Didn't the manager of Guns N' Roses just say that," Jiang Xinhai said, "that JX is a mysterious songwriter or something."

"But..." Gao Xiaobai was a little bit crazy, "These songs are all popular in the European and American circles. Could it be that he wrote them all by himself?"

If it's just a hard shake like Guns N' Roses, and it was written by JX, then he can understand it better.

But if pop rock like Maroon [-] and Linkin Park are also written by JX, then he will really break the defense.

At Gao Xiaobai’s level, if it’s just a well-reputed but unpopular song being blown in his face, he would just smile and say nothing. After all, he also has “She at the Same Table”—who hasn’t been popular back then?No matter how good your writing is, is it as famous as me?
But if it is a song that is so well received and popular that even his mother and his son are repeating the single, and it is said that it was written by JX, he can't accept it.

How come the aesthetics of the American people are like this!

Jiang Xinhai shrugged.

She doesn't care what Gao Xiaobai thinks.

She knew that Chen Ya was the kind of person who did ten points but only said seven points.

He said that most of the private collections are his songs, so that should be it.

If it is someone else's song, with his character, it will probably be like the previous Pink Floyd albums, with a sentence "At their strong request, so I put this song in, originally I don't want to be here."

If he said that it was strongly requested by others to be included, then it must be.

Chen Ya never lied about such frivolous matters.

Jiang Xinhai thought so, but others didn't think so.

Not everyone knows Chen Ya as well as she does.

"These albums," Gao Xiaobai pointed to the row of bookshelves, "maybe throw out a song randomly, at least hundreds of millions of people have listened to it."

Yingzi looked at him with a frown, thinking his words were scary.Yan Yunzhuo smiled: "Mr. Gao, what you said is too exaggerated..."

"Exaggeration? I'm talking more restrained!" Gao Xiaobai casually tapped the screen, "Like Maroon [-], they still have a few songs, which are also the golden songs of the century."

With his click, the background music changed and a whistle sounded.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the expressions on everyone's faces became exciting.

"I've really heard this one, the super-magical one, especially the whistle." He Ling said with wide-eyed eyes.

"'Moves Like Jagger'," Gao Xiaobai said, "Look, it's also very popular in China, but people don't know it's from this band."

In the live broadcast room, "666" was posted on the barrage one after another:
"Indeed, every disco has this song, it's so magical."

"Many edited videos have this melody, but I don't know it belongs to this band."

"Wow, is this also written by JX?"

……

Gao Xiaobai ordered another song: "And this song "Animals", and "One More Night" and "Lost Stars"..."

After finishing speaking, he looked up: "These are songs that have been on the charts for a long time, and this is just a band!"

"There is also the Republic Era, the band's name may not be familiar, but if you want to say "Apologize", then many people have heard it, and "Counting Stars", many people must be familiar with it."

"Look how many other bands are here? Magnum, Green Day, Linkin Park..."

"'Believer', 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', 'In the end'... God, did he write all those songs?"

Some people who were watching the live broadcast tried to search the music mentioned by Gao Xiaobai.

When the singing sounded, many people changed their expressions.

I don’t know if I don’t search, but I can hear it after searching: So it’s this song?
There are no channels for these music in China, and most people hear them from video clips and roadside speakers.

So they don't know the name of the band or the name of the song, only the melody.

This also indirectly shows that these songs are of high quality and the melody is very catchy.

"I've heard all of these bands," Cui Dayou said suddenly, "very good. If they are all written by JX, then he is really good, and he can even master English."

Gao Xiaobai opened his mouth wide: "Can't you?"

"English lyrics should be written by others, right? I don't seem to have heard of many lyrics writers who are not native speakers." Wang Feng said.

Gao Xiaobai said: "I don't know, I didn't write on the cover of the album, and I only wrote the original singers of these songs, not the songwriters."

When Gao Xiaobai was shocked, Yingzi felt more and more irritable.

Just now Gao Xiaobai had a conversation with the opposite party in English. She didn't understand much, but felt that everyone's reaction was exaggerated.

At this time, hearing them still arguing about whether the songwriter is JX made her even more upset.

"Didn't you ask who the songwriter was when the phone was connected?" Yingzi frowned.

"No, I went to focus on the problem at that time." Qin Yunchu said.

Gao Xiaobai thought of something, and said, "I just mentioned the British Invasion, as if they said that JX is the mysterious songwriter behind more than a dozen bands..."

Yingzi asked: "Then did he say which dozen or so bands they are?"

Gao Xiaobai shook his head.

"Did you say which song was written by JX?"

Gao Xiaobai shook his head again.

"Didn't it say that they are the bands on display now?"

Gao Xiaobai was silent.He didn't seem to need to answer anymore.

Yingzi sighed:

"Writing a song for each band can be regarded as writing, and it can also be regarded as a mysterious songwriter. What is this?"

Yan Yunzhuo said: "People in Europe and the United States tend to exaggerate when they speak."

After being told by Yingzi like this, Gao Xiaobai felt a lot more open-minded, nodded and said: "Maybe."

Yingzi touched the screen with his hand, and said: "Continue to read the next paragraph, don't spend time guessing, let him finish talking in one breath before commenting."

After being clicked by Yingzi, the picture on the screen changed again.

This is another interview.

The interview scene this time is even darker, and the subtitles are thoughtfully placed on the screen.

The protagonist being interviewed——JX, has black hair, with his back to the camera, sitting on the sofa with his legs raised high, and it can be seen that he is sitting very comfortably.

The reporter opposite was another person.

"Excuse me, Mr. JX, when you first came to the United States, you said the word 'British Invasion'. What is your definition of the British Invasion?"

The reporter looked respectful and seemed to be looking forward to the opponent's answer.

And everyone is very familiar with the style of Western journalists. The small notebook in his hand must have been filled with many sharp questions.

However, to the reporter's surprise, the answer to him was a rhetorical question:
"Why didn't anyone ask me that question when I first came to America?"

The reporter laughed twice: "Maybe everyone thought they understood at the time."

"Then why are you asking now?"

"Based on your behavior, people find themselves totally clueless," said the reporter. "If you mean the British Invasion, you mean taking 10 British bands—and a Finnish band—for 1 days, in the A total of more than 300 concerts have been held in the United States, with a total of 2000 million tickets sold. On average, 7600 out of every 2 Americans has heard your song. If it’s just like this, then it’s understandable..."

"Well, that's about it," JX said.

"That should be called JX Invasion," the reporter said. "After all, there is a Finnish band, and you don't have British blood, do you?"

"I think it's easier for the Yankees to accept the British Invasion," JX said. "I'm new here. You know, I can't offend people too much."

"Hahahaha..." Both of them laughed loudly.

"...so," the reporter asked after laughing for a while, "then you formed 7 or 8 American bands, and this year's bulletin boards are full of your songs. People almost think that the two letters JX It’s something like Anonymous… May I ask what you’re doing?”

"This is..."

 I haven't recovered from the cold yet, and I feel dizzy. I have to work overtime until eleven o'clock today. I'm afraid I won't have time to write in the evening, so I just wrote a small chapter and put it here. It's a half-day vacation, and I'll add more tomorrow Make it up.

  I’m still sick, and I can’t read the words clearly. If there are typos and sentences in this chapter, if the writing is not good, I don’t accept criticism (remind me in the chapter post that I will change it tomorrow)
