Chapter 59: Good News
In Zheng Qian's memory, the Beyond band can be said to be the god of the Hong Kong rock music scene in the previous life.
Many of their tracks have attracted countless guitar beginners to practice frantically.
In addition to "I Really Love You", this "Sea and Sky" is a song that Zheng Qian was willing to practice crazy when he first learned guitar in his previous life, even if his fingers were grinding out calluses.
Because you can pretend to be forced.
In the years when he looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, Zheng Qian walked in the big and small corners of the campus with his guitar on his back more than once, stopped when he saw a beautiful girl, and then stepped on the public chair with one foot very cold and immoral, took off the guitar and began to play the strings.
He coquettishly sang "The Sea and the Sky" or "I Really Love You", his voice was charming and amazing, and he could always attract the adoring eyes of the girls......
It can be said that playing the guitar and singing the songs of the Beyond band is definitely the pickle girl artifact of that era, that is, occasionally young and ignorant, often singing "I Really Love You" to the girl he likes......
If someone who learns the guitar has not played Beyond, it is definitely a waste of youth.
And because of the connotation of the lyrics, many years later, the song "Sea and Sky" not only continues to win numerous awards, but also has long gone beyond the scope of language and music, and has become a firm belief and belief in the hearts of many people.
When the simple chord sounded, the three people in the lounge fell silent, listening carefully to the Cantonese version of "The Sea and the Sky".
Zheng Qian brewed his emotions and tried to keep his voice low.
"Today I watched the snow drift by on a cold night
Drifting away with a cooled heart
Chasing in the wind and rain, it is impossible to distinguish the trace in the fog
The sky is wide for you and me
can change ......"
The faint singing voice and simple chords made Zheng Qian, who was sitting there, look like an elegant and easy-going literary youth.
Song Weifeng just felt that the prelude was okay, which made people very comfortable to listen to, but in the eyes of professional music director Wan Feng, Zheng Qian seemed to be shining all over his body at this moment, and the notes and singing came into his ears, which made Song Weifeng's mood extremely excited.
Countless pictures quickly formed in my mind, and the sadness of a young man who worked hard for his ideals in a foreign country was vividly displayed on the paper.
Everything was calm before the storm.
Everything is instantaneous.
The feeling like an electric shock began to brew quietly in Wan Feng's heart.
"How many times, with cold eyes and ridicule
I have never given up on the ideals in my heart
For a moment, I was in a trance, and I felt lost
Unconsciously, it has faded
I love ......"
Despite knowing little about music, Sally found the song very catchy.
She looked at Wan Feng, and suddenly found that the music director, who had been calm in the past, looked faintly excited at the moment, and even kept taking deep breaths, forcing herself to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, but the hands that were tightly clasped together betrayed him.
His hands were shaking.
Sally was stunned, and suddenly heard a fierce string sound, and the passionate singing in her ears poured into her heart like a morning bell at dusk.
"Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom
I'm afraid I'll fall down one day—"
Sally turned her head sharply, her eyes wide, and she looked at Zheng Qian incredulously.
"If you turn your back on your ideals, anyone can do it
How could I be afraid that one day only you and me-"
She finally understood the song, so much so that her heart felt like she had been hit by a bullet, and the strong sense of resonance made Sally feel numb, and the whole person looked at Zheng Qian blankly as if she was down.
Even Song Weifeng was stunned at the moment.
He understood the lyrics and Zheng Qian's ideals.
The lyrics and songs are all about peace, struggle and encouragement, he knows what kind of power this song has, although it is only a short paragraph, but everyone who has fought for their ideals can hear the portrayal of their youth in it.
No matter how many hardships and hardships there are, we must not stop struggling, although we are ridiculed for not being able to do our best, but we still work hard for our ideals and embrace the future.
I don't want to be constrained, I don't want to be restricted, no matter what the outside world says, I just want to go my own way!
Song Weifeng was even a little glad that he had discovered such a treasure as Zheng Qian, who could not only compose classic Chinese songs, but also seemed to be more proficient in the creation of Cantonese songs!
Well, many years later, when Zheng Qian is popular all over the country, will his name appear in his autobiography?
Song Weifeng was a little distracted.
"Still free to be yourself, always singing my song
Traveled thousands of miles -
Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life
I'm afraid I'll fall down one day......"
Zheng Qian himself sang high.
He also cares about the wrong chords, the strong resonance makes him feel agitated at the moment, and the strong iron lungs allow him to control the song easily, and it also allows him to express his emotions in the song with ease.
The emotion was very successful.
Wan Feng felt like he was about to cry, he looked at the young face in front of him, took off his glasses and wiped it with a cloth silently, his expression gradually calmed down, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Soon, the song ended, Zheng Qian put down the guitar, let his mood soothe slightly, and looked at Wan Feng.
Then he found that Wan Feng was looking at him steadily.
The two suddenly looked at each other, both slightly stunned, slightly embarrassed, and then quickly separated.
When Sally saw this, a big question mark appeared in her head.
Wan Feng coughed dryly, put on his glasses again, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's still that taste, it's the same as the style of "I Really Love You", I believe this song will be in Hong Kong, no, it will be popular in the whole of Asia!"
Zheng Qian looked happy: "Then we have a happy cooperation?"
"Happy working together!"
Wan Feng stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Zheng Qian: "It takes five songs to release an EP, Zheng Qian, can it be completed in a short time?"
"Yes!" Zheng Qian nodded.
Wan Feng said with a smile: "Although "I Really Love You" is very popular in Hong Kong, Zheng Qian, you are still a newcomer, so this EP may not invest too much in resources, in addition, I need this song "Sea and Sky", you know, I am not a music director who has a high right to speak, and Universal Music is not alone in my decision, I need to use this song to convince our boss, I will let Sally stay in the capital for two days, you can complete the lyrics and songs of "Sea and Sky", you can hand it over to her, let her take it back to Hong Kong." ”
"Okay, I'll write this song tomorrow. Zheng Qian nodded.
Wan Feng looked at Zheng Qian, his eyes were full of appreciation, but also regretful: "Actually, if you join Universal Music, I believe that in a few years, you will become another Andy, a new generation of music kings, it's a pity......"
"Mr. Wan praised, compared with Andy, I don't dare to be. Zheng Qian shook his head.
Subsequently, the two left their contact information and agreed to meet in Hong Kong soon to discuss the details of the cooperation.
It can be done in just over half an hour, Zheng Qian only felt refreshed and in a good mood, said hello to Song Weifeng, and hurried to the celebration banquet hotel, this good news, he wants to tell everyone!
