Chapter 171: Debut Novel
There is no doubt that there are at least seven or eight hundred songs that fake literary youths and poets like Lin Weidong have heard in their previous lives, even if there are not thousands.
However, Lin Weidong is not a memory expert after all, although he has heard a lot of songs, but there are very few melodies that can really be remembered in his mind.
After more than a year of tossing, Lin Weidong wrote a total of nearly 60 songs in his notebook.
The fly in the ointment is that not all of the 60 songs that Lin Weidong copied from memory can remember from beginning to end.
Due to the lack of memory, or the age is too old, the lyrics of many songs copied by Lin Weidong are a little "incomplete", only more than 20 songs such as "Fairy Tale", "Ten Years", "You Are My Eyes", "Breakpoint", "Does Anyone Tell You", etc., are relatively intact.
Of course, there are some divine comedies that Lin Weidong almost never took the initiative to listen to in his previous life, but sometimes, he can't help but pop up in his mind, such as Murong Xiaoxiao's "Love Trading": "At the beginning, you wanted to separate, and if you separated, you separated, and now you want to coax me back with true love, love is not something you want to sell and you can sell, let me break away, let me understand, let go of your love ......"
The conscience of heaven and earth, Lin Weidong really never sang this song in his previous life, but I don't know why, when he picked up the pen, he just pinched it with his hands, and wrote it casually.
In addition, Yang Chengang's "Mice Love Rice", Xiangxiang's "Song of the Pig", Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002", Pang Long's "Lilacs", etc., Lin Weidong almost never took the initiative to listen to them, but these brainwashing divine comedies, even if it is another ten years, he can hum a few words casually.
No way, some divine comedies have this brainwashing function, whether you listen to it or not, you will unconsciously remember the melody and lyrics in your heart, and you can't forget it if you want to.
But then again, even if Lin Weidong doesn't do anything in his life, with only these dozens of songs, he can definitely live a prosperous life, even if he can't be a much-anticipated superstar, he can definitely become a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Chinese music scene.
After a few thoughts, Lin Weidong decided to cover Chen Chusheng's "Has Anyone Told You" as his first song to enter the Chinese music scene.
The reason why Lin Weidong chose the song "Has Anyone Told You" is because this song is suitable for guitar playing and singing, and Guangliang's "Fairy Tale" is a lyrical song that is obviously more suitable for piano accompaniment.
Therefore, in the following days, Lin Weidong closed the door from morning to night, as long as he had time, held the guitar, and practiced the song "Has Anyone Told You".
After a few days of retreat training, Lin Weidong gradually became familiar with the playing and singing of the song "Has Anyone Told You".
Early that morning, after breakfast, Lin Weidong sat on the sofa in the living room and called Wang Taoxin in front of him, ready to let him use the repeater to help record the demo of the song "Does Anyone Tell You".
Lin Weidong instructed: "Tao Xin, this song is written by myself, when I play the guitar later, you can help me press the record button, and when I sing, you must not disturb me." ”
Seeing Lin Weidong holding the guitar and looking like he was in trouble, Wang Taoxin scratched her head and said reluctantly: "Weidong, you don't really want to be a singer, do you? Can we be realistic? I still expect to follow you to get ahead!"
Lin Weidong said angrily: "Are you recording or not?"
Wang Taoxin didn't seem to be very happy when she saw Lin Weidong, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll record it, I'll record it, I'll record it......"
As the guitar prelude sounded, Lin Weidong opened his mouth to sing softly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "When the train enters this strange city,"
"It's a neon you've never seen before,"
"When I opened the letter you sent me when I parted, I suddenly felt extremely missed,"
Lin Weidong's slightly hoarse voice carried a touch of sadness, which sounded inexplicable to Wang Taoxin's heart.
"I didn't expect Weidong to play the guitar quite well, better than I expected. ”
"This melody is so feeling, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable when I hear it, and there is a faint sadness. ”
"Strange, why have I never heard this song? Could it really be that Wei Dong wrote it himself?"
In Wang Taoxin's amazed eyes, Lin Weidong played the guitar and sang down emotionally: "Has anyone ever told you that I love you very much, has anyone ever cried in your diary, has anyone ever told you that I care a lot and care about the distance of this city......
At the end of the song, Wang Taoxin couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, he didn't know how to express it, the song sung by Lin Weidong touched his heart.
Because when Wang Taoxin listened to Lin Weidong play and sing the song "Has Anyone Told You", he couldn't help but think of his girlfriend, especially when he thought that he had come to the bustling city of Shanghai, and Xue Ping, who was far away in Mei'an, across thousands of mountains and rivers, the melancholy in his heart became even stronger.
When Lin Weidong stopped playing the guitar for a while, Wang Taoxin came back to his senses, pressed the pause button of the repeater, and couldn't help but praise: "Weidong, we have known each other for so long, I only found out today that you sing so well! Is this song really written by yourself?"
Lin Weidong put down the guitar and said angrily: "Nonsense, I didn't write this song, could it be that you wrote it?"
Wang Taoxin was not angry, and said with a smile: "Weidong, don't get excited, I don't doubt your creative ability, I'm just shocked, I didn't expect you to write well, and you even have a hand in writing songs!"
Lin Weidong said disapprerovingly: "Okay, don't be a sycophant, hurry up and prepare, let's go to the recording studio now." ”
Soon, Lin Weidong, accompanied by Wang Taoxin, came to a professional recording studio and professional post-production studio in Shanghai.
The female secretaries who connected with Lin Weidong were all very professional, and they quoted a bunch of prices like cannons, like cats being chased by dogs.
Lin Weidong was not verbose, and told the female secretary bluntly: "Call your people in charge here, I want to record the song I wrote." ”
After a while, a literary man with a beard on his chin and a man who looked to be in his thirties walked in, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "The handsome guy wants to record a song? ”
Lin Weidong listened to two songs casually, the melody was very ordinary, featureless, and aura, neither elegant, nor cheesy, and delicate and contrived.
Although Lin Weidong had never studied music in his previous life, he could hear it with his ears, and this kind of song would definitely not be popular.
However, judging from the two songs, Lin Weidong can also feel that the arrangement of the producers of this recording studio is still a bit level.
Lin Weidong nodded, asked the bearded man to turn off the equipment, took out the tape, and said to him: "I have deno here, I have already done the lyrics and songs, you can help me arrange the music." ”
The bearded man was stunned, but obviously he had encountered this situation, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen." ”
The bearded man put Lin Weidong's tape into the tape recorder.
Soon, the song "Has Anyone Told You" sung by Lin Weidong came out of the speaker of the tape recorder: "When the train drove into this strange city, it was a neon ...... that I had never seen before."
After listening to this song, the bearded man couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, buddy, the tune you heard is quite decent." ”
Lin Weidong said: "I wrote it myself. ”
The bearded man looked at Lin Weidong suspiciously, thought for a while, and said, "Dude, if you don't do this, I think you should still be a student, I'll give you 5,000 yuan, how about you sell me this song?"
Lin Weidong smiled and didn't speak, Wang Taoxin, who was standing on the side, was obviously a little shocked, because he didn't expect that a song written by Lin Weidong in a few days could be sold for 5,000 yuan, which is more than the salary that many people earn in a year.
Looking at Lin Weidong, who was indifferent, the bearded man then said: "8,000 yuan, okay?"
Seeing that Lin Weidong still didn't say anything, he hurriedly said: "Dude, if you want to sell it, 10,000 yuan, I will spend 10,000 yuan to buy your song, this price is already the market price of well-known musicians in the circle." ”
Lin Weidong smiled and waved his hand: "Boss, I advise you to concentrate on arranging music for me, I won't tell you, I'm a rich second generation, not bad for money!"
Hearing Lin Weidong's words, Wang Taoxin was obviously confused, and the bearded man didn't say anything more, he just felt regretful, because for everyone who loves music, a good song is hard to find.
Whether at home or abroad, there are many so-called singers who make a living by singing, and they may not be able to write a good song that is popular throughout their lives.
As we all know, the most important thing for a singer is to have a work to speak, and singing skills are secondary.
Because some singers, even if they only sing a popular song in their lifetime, they are enough to earn a lot of money and live a decent and prosperous life.
Obviously, in the eyes of the bearded man, the song "Has Anyone Told You" written by Lin Weidong has the potential to become popular in terms of the lyrics and melody of the whole song.
Therefore, even if Lin Weidong refused to sell the song, the bearded man still did not give up, he thought in his heart, no matter what, he would buy the good song "Has Anyone Told You".
