Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On July 7, GMT, with the end of the performance at the 3rd Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, Phil Collins' "Farewell Tour" world tour European leg also came to an end, with 2 performances.  Full of people, this rock star of the 1980s is still shining brightly today.

    He will take a short break and then start preparing for the US leg of the tour, as well as continuing to produce a selection of albums to be released in the second half of the year.

    The residential area on the hillside on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland is one of the most livable places in the world. It has beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. It is full of lush vegetation and is dotted with quaint and secretive houses. Looking at Lake Geneva under the blue sky, a sea of  Sparkling clear, like the Milky Way falling to the ground.

    Phil Collins¡¯ family usually lives here.

    Phil has been eating well and sleeping soundly recently, and his tour has been very successful. His wife Orian's second child is due to be born around the end of the month. The examination revealed that it is another boy; and the heart of his baby daughter has also come back, his sweet little baby.  , no one can take it away

    But this sweet dream was awakened by a harsh and noisy song.

    "udh oh, oh -"

    "Hahaha" On the lawn in front of the red-roofed old house, Lily was playing a recording on her mobile phone. She looked at her father's weird face, as if this was the funniest scene in human history. She almost rolled from the wooden chair to the ground with laughter.  , although it is not the first time it is broadcast, it is so hilarious every time.

    "Oh!" Phil suddenly screamed a few times and said angrily: "That bastard can't even sing well? He is deliberately ruining the song."

    Lily couldn't say what she wanted to say and laughed. She stopped recording to regain her composure, and then she laughed and said: "I don't agree with you, but the singing is good enough. You don't know how to appreciate it. I'll go and show it to Nick." She said.  He got up and walked into the house, humming something softly.

    I don¡¯t know how to appreciate it?  What can Phil say besides being stunned? Every time a girl falls in love, there is a father who falls out of favor.

    Seeing that Lily was so in love with her that she couldn't distinguish right from wrong, he was jealous, but actually quite happy. Of course, he hoped that she could stay happy forever.

    That bastard is not good at singing, but at least he knows how to coax her, which is commendable Wait a minute

    A look of "yes" flashed across the old face. Phil couldn't help but laugh out loud, good idea, good idea.

    To be honest, in many ways, he felt that he was sorry to Lily and owed her so much that it was impossible to make up for it.  And he has also realized that since having Nicholas, he always neglects the older Lily when he is busy at work, but she is just a teenager who has experienced a lot of family nonsense since she was a child.

    He didn¡¯t want to do this anymore, so he decided to devote most of his time to his family after this tour.

    With this attitude and hard work during these days, the former rock and roll father-daughter duo finally reappeared in the world. Phil cherished it more and wanted to make Lily happy more, but now there is only one person who can make her happy.  , Ye Wei.

    He has also been trying to make up for the mistake that made that gaffe hurt Lily's relationship. Although he helped her get Ferguson's autographed photo, it really didn't matter. It seemed like it had been a long, long time since he had given Lily any surprises.  The thought of this made him anxious.

    Lily is not an ordinary teenager. Her upbringing has given her a high standard for surprises. It is useless to buy expensive gifts without putting any thought into them. She does not like them at all.  Of course, no matter whose daughter she is, the spirit of lyrical rock flows in her blood.

    Phil is getting older and older, and his ability to make girls happy is also declining. He should use his best singing, like "c'11BeTHat", which was very good.

    And now there is an opportunity, go to Los Angeles to find that bastard, take him to the recording studio to record a decent song, and give the CD to Lily

    It¡¯s a good idea, it¡¯s time to meet that kid for a while

    The bald old man had a slightly sinister look on his face. He calculated the time and found that it was just early morning in Los Angeles, which was still a good time to make a phone call. Phil immediately walked aside, kept an eye on the house, and called with his cell phone.  He called Jill Towerman, and as soon as he was connected, he whispered: "Give me that bastard's number."

    "Who? What did you say?"

    ¡°That bastard who picked up our daughter¡±

    "What do you want to do?" Tawerman's voice was suspicious and alert, "Phil, you'd better not cause trouble."

    "I just want to give Lily a surprise" Phil had no choice but to say his idea, "Keep it secret, otherwise it won't be a surprise." Tawarman smiled helplessly: "I won't stop you from coaxing Lily, but you have to  Things are going well, that kid Wei Ge is very sensible, but he is the same type of person as you in some aspects, so I am worried that you might have conflicts. "

    Phil chuckled: "Haha, I'm 53 years old and I can barely play the drums anymore. What are you worried about?"

    After Tawerman sent him the number, he immediately called.

    Los Angeles, Brentwood, Ye Family under the night sky.

    After a night of copywriting work, Ye Wei was about to go to bed, turned off the lights and lay on the bed, when his cell phone suddenly rang.  He now has two mobile phones, one is a work number, and no one usually calls after working hours; the other is the original private number that is ringing. The strange thing is that the caller is an unfamiliar foreign number. Who is it?

    "Hello?"

    "Hello, Ye Wei, right? I'm Phil Collins, the number Lily's mother gave me."

    OK, Phil Collins, Ye Wei realized it for half a second, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up suddenly. This voice was indeed

    What happened? He fell off the bed and grinned strangely. It was too sudden, he was excited and a little at a loss: "Wow, what a surprise. Hey Mr. Collins, what do you want from me?" There was a sudden thought in his heart.  , "Is Lily okay?"

    "Lily is fine, she doesn't know I'm looking for you."

    "Oh." Ye Wei responded a few times, which was really unexpected. He got up and started walking, "What's the matter? Mr. Collins, please tell me."

    ¡°Boy, if you call me Mr. Collins again, I guarantee you¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡±

    "Uh." Ye Wei shrugged and turned on the light in the room. He didn't know how to get along with the other party for a while. That was Phil Collins, needless to say, a big shot, but he didn't want to use business communication, because this  He is still Lily's father.

    The other party seemed to hate those polite words, so he asked calmly: "Got it, Phil, what's the matter?"

    "You're a terrible singer. You have the nerve to sing to Lily at that level. I'm ashamed of you." Phil said a few harsh words before revealing his plan, and finally said: "We will complete this within two days."  It¡¯s a surprise for Lily, are you interested in joining?¡±

    "Of course" Ye Wei already had an excited look on his face, feeling very interesting and motivated, "It's a cool idea, Lily will be impressed, I'll join in."

    "Are you free for the next two days?"

    Ye Wei¡¯s current working hours are very free, and he is in the stage of inspecting the newly established producer team. We have to wait to see the results of their work. It is the weekend again, so of course he is free.  He smiled and said: "Yes, no problem. Regarding Lily, I am always free."

    "That's ok, I'll fly to Los Angeles right away. Your team will arrive tomorrow afternoon. Protect your voice and don't shout randomly for the next two days. Once the song is recorded, I'll do whatever you want."

    The two discussed some more details, how to connect, how to keep it secret

    After the call ended, after a while, Ye Weicai came back to his senses and was about to shout excitedly, "I'm going to rock and roll", and immediately covered his mouth again to protect his throat.

    Record a song, record a song, which song should you sing?

    He confidently walked towards the CD cabinet next to the bookshelf. The cabinet that was as tall as one person was filled with records. They witnessed the five-minute passionate music dream. Many old songs, including the Beatles, Queen, and Carpenter, were among the most popular.  Love, there are also several Genesis albums, and Phil Collins' solo albums are all collected, only missing a few selections.

    In fact, he has always liked listening to Phil Collins. "AuBapaanIe" is one of his favorite songs. After dating Lily, he listened to it more.

    "Which one is it?" Ye Wei flipped through one of Collins' personal records and looked at the introduction. They have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, including 7 Grammy Awards and 17 nominations, 6  1 Brit Award and 7 nominations, 1 Oscar and 1 nomination, 2 Golden Globe Awards and 1 nomination

    "AuBapaanIe" is certainly good. It is the number one song on the Billboard T100 and Collins's representative work on social reflection, but it is not a love song and is not suitable.

    "AIu£­AI1On"?  The same championship song also has countless cover versions, both in Mandarin and Cantonese. In 2026, Maria Choli and the Backstreet Boys teamed up to cover it, and it became an airborne champion in the UK as soon as it was released.

    Ye Wei felt that his cover version was definitely not as good as theirs, and this song was too sad and not suitable.

    But he really loved it because it was originally an episode of the movie "Breaking the Taboo" of the same name. The leading actor in that movie was one of his favorite actors, "The Dude" Jeff Bridges, who was nominated for an Oscar that year.  , and later became the theme song of "It seems like an old friend is coming".

    "You have to sing a championship song anyway," Ye Wei muttered, "OueMeNht"?  "T-Ha"?  Neither of them are suitable, let's go with "udh" or "GrrIuOfLe".  He looked at the song list, no matter whether it was the winner or not, there are so many classics, "TAIr-T", "1Mta-It-uIBatu"

    "Cool." He suddenly couldn't help but sigh. Collins composed, wrote, sang and played the drums all by himself. He is such a talented guy.

    Suddenly, I had a vulgar feeling, which I had never experienced before. I finally understood what Lev and the others shouted, "That's Lily Collins." He was actually in love with Phil Collins' daughter. It was vulgar, but amazing.

    ¡°c-1m-vIubIv,aI11Tave-,1ta-a-at-vTc-1m-1-bIv (when I feel?Sadness, all I have to do is, look at you, and then I won¡¯t be so sad anymore), just sing "Grr-KtudlOfLe"

    On the day B, Phil Collins hid the truth from almost everyone, took his assistant and flew to Los Angeles.

    It was around 2 pm when we arrived in Los Angeles. Due to the time difference, Phil and his team rushed directly from the airport to the agreed meeting place, "Westlake Recording Studio" in West Hollywood. This is one of the best recording studios.

    Except for some fellow passengers and airport staff who saw the superstar suspiciously, no one knew that bastard Collins was here.

    West Lake Recording Studio has multiple recording studios, large and small. Phil and his group entered the lobby, and were led by the surprised and enthusiastic front desk staff to a small recording studio with the name of the scheduled customer "Phil Collins" on the door.  , opened the door and walked in, only to see a black-haired boy already waiting on the sofa. When he saw him, he immediately came over with a smile.

    "Phil, nice to meet you." The young man stretched out his right hand.

    Phil narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other person. He was taller than him at the age of 6. He was wearing a gray T-shirt with a guitar pattern and jeans, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

    At the same time, Ye Wei was also looking at Collins. It was impossible not to feel nervous. Whether it was a rock star or his girlfriend's father, it made people feel uneasy. They were both the same person and it was hard to look at them randomly. Yes,  Afraid of leaving a bad impression on the other party.

    "Okay, okay, don't talk to me politely, I don't understand." Phil shook hands with the boy and looked at the mixing console over there and the recording room behind the glass window, but no recording was found.  The figure of the engineer and recording assistant asked: "Where are the people?"

    "They went to another room and told them to call them when you arrive." Ye Wei said knowingly, since Collins asked me to be myself many times, then just be myself.

    He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "I would like to take the liberty of asking you an old-fashioned question, "TAIrTcut", did you really see a person die and refuse to save him, or was it just a love song?"

    He was reminded of a famous story from this classic song. One of its lyrics is "If you told me you were drowning, I wouldn't help1vhnmevvutu1uhnc1caTa0". There is a widely circulated story that Collins saw a  A person was drowning, and a guy next to him saw it. The guy walked away without helping, so this song came about.

    "Oh?" Phil's expression immediately changed. What does this kid mean?

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that this is a song he wrote out of anger after his first ex-wife, Andrea Bertinelli, cheated on her?  And although those things have long since passed, and he has been friends with Bertinelli and Tawerman for a long time, but as Lily's boyfriend, is it appropriate to ask this?

    "I'm sorry" Ye Wei noticed something was wrong and seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have asked. He quickly apologized and said, "I'm just curious. This question has been bothering me for some years.

    As he walked towards the mixing console, Phil sneered: "It's just a lovelorn song, that story is ute-Ia."

    "Oh, sir, pay attention to your wording." Ye Weihuo frowned, and there was a surge of anger in his heart.

    cIueeIa (Chinese whispering) is an unfriendly word, which is equivalent to the meaning of rumors, unreasonableness, and gossip in Chinese. It was originally said because Europeans cannot understand Chinese culture and language. This is a racist controversy.  It's an outdated word. Who would say that in front of a Chinese person?

    No matter he is a big shot or his girlfriend's father, he just wants to give this old man the middle finger. This is a matter of principle. He will always defend the principle. Just like his ancestors, no one can insult the Chinese God.  cannot

    The old man looked back, showing no intention of apologizing.  Ye Wei said seriously: "Maybe you think it's not a big deal, then how about I call you the British guy Imr?"

    "Lt" is a scornful term for British people, which sounds quite unpleasant to British ears.

    "Damn boy." The old man immediately became angry, "I married an Asian wife and have a mixed-race son. Do you think I look like a racist from the Ku Klux Klan? They say you are a genius. I think so.  You are an idiot"

    "Who knows, maybe it's not the Ku Klux Klan, but the skinheads." Ye Wei did not give in, and his face clearly said: I need an apology.

    "Hahaha, I found that I quite like you, kind of." Phil suddenly laughed, his magnetic voice echoing through the recording studio: "I'm sorry, I used the wrong words just now, then you are exposing my scars like a tongue-tied woman.  How to calculate?"

    "I said it before, I'm sorry." Ye Wei suddenly laughed and understood. This old bastard is interesting and right. How could the person who wrote "AuBa-TPaanIe" be so shallow and retarded? His interest suddenly returned. We want to rock and roll.  Got it

    The two of them looked at each other, and the more they laughed, the funnier they became. There was an indescribable feeling of rapport. They clapped their hands and thought it was okay, "Hahaha"

    ¡°Phil, I thought about it for a long time last night,Having made a decision, I want to sing "GrrIuOfLe".  "

    "I have a new idea, why not make a song of your own?" Phil's old face was interested, "A new song that you compose, write lyrics and sing."

    Ye Wei was stunned when he heard this, "What?"
