Cervantes Savidra wrote the first modern novel in literary history, "Don Quixote".

When the story of the novel took place, the knight had already been extinct for more than a century, but the hero Alonso Gijano was obsessed with knight novels, often fantasizing that he was a medieval knight, and proclaimed himself "Don Quixote de De". -La Mancha", which means the guardian of the De-La Mancha area, and then took his neighbor Sancho Pansa to be his servant. The unthinkable behavior ended up hitting walls everywhere. But eventually he woke up from the dream and died after returning to his hometown.

One is Don Quixote who is full of illusory ideals and wrestles with spears and windmills to demonstrate the power of the knight; the other is Sancho who hopes to enjoy the taste of life from fine wines and food and high officials. One of them is a ridiculous idealist, the other is a ridiculous pragmatist, but they have put forward a problem that humans can never solve: the contradiction between ideal and reality.

Everyone is ridiculing Don Quixote’s insanity, everyone is despising Don Quixote’s overpowering, everyone is joking about Don Quixote’s madness, everyone is rejecting Don Quixote. Everyone is laughing at Don Quixote's stubbornness...indifferently, triumphantly, ridiculed, contemptuously, witnessing the withering of dreams step by step. As everyone knows, with the demise of idealism, the spirit and hope of society are also withering.

The weak figure holding a spear and fighting with a windmill was so submerged in the torrent of the times, like Sisyphus who tirelessly pushed the boulder but never reached the end.

Don Quixote, this was the first word that came to Lan Li's mind.

Those days when you lie on the sickbed/watching movies greedily and eagerly; those days when you stay in the practice room alone and polish the basic skills over and over again; those who stand on the shabby stage, even if there is no audience, they are still fully engaged The days of performance; the days when acting so hard, forgetting to sleep and eating, and forgetting myself; those days when he became obsessed with the performance, so as to blur the boundary between reality and illusion; those days when he encountered negation, rejection, and ridicule, but resolutely refused to bow his head; Those days when self-doubt was at a loss and wandering on the verge of giving up...

is like standing on one side and the whole world on the other side.

The conflict between dream and reality, the contradiction between ideal and reality, walks alone on this long road, lonely and lonely, and the pressure of reality makes it almost impossible to lift the shoulders. Every step is so difficult and difficult to move. Stumbled and staggered all the way to where he is now, but the future is dazed and uneasy, the future is unknown and dangerous, there are thorns everywhere, still can't see the end, and still can't stop.

He is like Don Quixote. In this real world, he is crazy, ridiculous, and maverick, pursuing an illusory ideal; but he has no way of knowing whether his ending will be like Don Quixote. Like death, depression, one day suddenly realized that he realized his inaction, and finally died without disease.

Fortunately, he gradually discovered that he is not the only lunatic in this world.

Heather Cross is so, Jennifer Lawrence is so, Jessica Chastain is so, Ryan Gosling is so, Rooney Mara is so, Stanley Chalson is so, George- This is true for Slander, so is Herbert Jones. Also, the same is true for the Eleven Studio.

Raising his head, Lan Li could see the twinkling light in George and Herbert's eyes, shining like bright sunlight.

Herbert immediately understood the meaning hidden behind the name. The turbulent emotions filled his chest and stood up uncontrollably, seeming to want to do something, but after all he did nothing, and fell back. In the chair, the whole person leaned on the back of the chair, and fell into his thoughts, the focus of his eyes gradually blurred.

The City of Sound, a music resort that has been running for half a century, is still lost in the trend of the times, like a bubble burst, silently withdrawing from the stage of history. Only they know what happened in this process and what the people who have witnessed the course of history experienced.

George lowered his eyes a little embarrassed, and in a short period of sorrow, he tasted the ups and downs of ten years. Only he knew what the retirement life of the past three years meant, that kind of dispirited helplessness and regret, one A little bit of the color that draws away from life, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.

Don Quixote. How short, but how accurate it is to describe it. But the difference is that Don Quixote "woke up", returned to reality, and then died in depression; he didn't.

swallowed the surge of tongue, raised his eyes again, and looked at the boy in front of him. Twenty-one years old, how young, how youthful, how wanton, and what a beautiful age, hidden infinite possibilities, as if you can have the world as long as you open your arms. George firmly believed that Renly could.

What’s more commendable is that George knew clearly that he decided to make this album because Renly’s music was different from the market trend.

It’s not because Lanly’s music style is a folk song, but because the hidden connotation in Lanly’s music not only re-shows the soul and essence of excellent music, but also ignites his passion for music again. This is in line with the present. The completely different characteristics of mainstream music in the market can even be said to be eliminated characteristics.

In other words, this is an album whose market performance is not destined to be outstanding. It's like Don Quixote.

In the gaze of questioning and contempt, I follow my own ideals, unswervingly, persistently, and madly, even if this ideal has fallen behind the times. This is not only Lan Li's, or George's and Herbert's persistence and dreams, but also the spiritual core of the entire album.

George couldn't think of a more suitable name than "Don Quixote."

"Just the name." George replied, all the surging, all the emotion, all the boiling, just turned into such the simplest sentence, only the pair of still bright eyes, revealing the true emotions in his heart.

The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly.

He knows that making albums and filming movies are the same. If you choose a large company, out of business considerations, they will inevitably formulate more rules and regulations, and everything will be in line with the "money"; but if you choose an independent company, the exploration of art and the Pursuit will prevail, which leaves more creative space for artists.

Thankfully, he met George. If this is the only album in Renly's career, then he will still choose George, which is his honor.

From the choice of the idea to the establishment of the theme, this was originally the most important and most difficult part of an album. Sometimes it took two months to be unsure, but they only took less than four minutes before and after—from Lan Li said "Don Quixote" until George nodded in agreement. This was only twenty-five seconds away, and it was called an electric flint.

Bo Ya is good at drums and piano, Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. What Bo Ya read, Zhong Ziqi will get it. When the child died, Boya said that there was no friend in the world, and he would break the piano and the drums for life.

The so-called bosom friend is rare, probably that's what it means. The three like-minded friends have taken a steady first step on the road of joint cooperation.

George didn't pause, and immediately entered the formal state of work. "Now, what we need to do is to select songs according to the theme." George rubbed his temples and said, "Huh, this is a difficult job." Although he didn't want to admit it. , But the fact is that George felt sorry to eliminate any song. Therefore, he needs the help of Renly and Herbert.

"Herbert?" George's gaze fell on Herbert, but Herbert did not respond, still stunned. He had to raise his voice and shouted again, "Herbert!"

Only then did Herbert react, "Huh?" Seeing the sights of Renly and George, he shook his head vigorously, and raised his mouth with a self-deprecating smile, without explaining anything. After regaining his composure, he entered directly. Subject, "What's wrong?"

"Select the song. We are now going to start the selection." Under George's guidance, the three officially entered the album production stage.

Unexpectedly, the work that had been progressing extremely smoothly before, reached a deadlock after entering the stage of selection: because I couldn’t give up, I couldn’t choose ~www.novelhall.com~ to be in a dilemma.

In the complete list of 27 songs originally provided by Lan Li, George selected 18 songs, and Herbert selected 20 songs. Among them, there were as many as seven different choices between the two people, and 27 songs. A total of 23 songs were chosen by at least one party, and only four were eliminated.

It can be seen from this that the average quality of Lan Li's composition is high. You know, George and Herbert are not rookies who have never seen the world. Both are experienced industry experts. Their vision is vicious, picky, and accurate, and they have long passed time and market. Verification, no doubt.

This is just the first part of the puzzle.

More importantly, they must select ten songs from this list and include them in the album "Don Quixote". This led to a sparking war of saliva.

George insisted that he wanted to include the single "Los Angeles" in the album, but Herbert believed that this folk tune did not meet the tone and style of the entire album, and even the spiritual core did not meet the requirements; Herbert was right. "Budapest" has a soft spot, but George is completely indifferent, thinking that the popularity of this song is too heavy and destroys the integrity of the album.

Both George and Herbert love "Old Pine Tree". This fresh and simple ballad is indescribably beautiful. Life is more than just the present, poetry and distance.

Even if the temperament of the whole song does not fit the album, the two people still hope to earn the album. The problem is that there are only ten seats on an album, and each seat is extremely precious. This also means that they can only give up. "Old Pine Tree"...

Ten poems, is there really only ten poems?
