538 How Much Does This Song Cost?
Wang Manling is a very smart woman.
She made her debut in a TV station's singing competition.
Wang Manling was eighteen years old that year, and she was eliminated after only reaching the quarterfinals in that singing competition.
But after a few years, the champion and the top few were gone, and she became more and more popular.
After winning the Golden Melody Award in the third year of her debut, she was nominated for the Silver Dragon Award, and after winning the Golden Melody and Silver Dragon double song in the fifth year of her debut, she became the youngest diva in the history of the Chinese music scene.
At that time, many people felt that she had climbed too fast, her foundation was unstable, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stay on the throne of the Queen of Heaven for long.
However, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Manling has not only not stood out from the crowd, but has gone higher and higher, not only domestically, but also internationally.
Now he is recognized as the first person in the Chinese music scene.
Even if she temporarily retired because of giving birth to a child the year before last, no one could shake her status.
can go from the eliminated singer of the year to today's status, in addition to talent, hard work and opportunity, Wang Manling also has an advantage that no one else has-
A unique vision.
She can always find a good song that suits her best and caters to the market.
After giving birth, Wang Manling has been paying attention to the situation in the music industry in addition to taking care of her children at home.
This year, Lin Yao rose like a comet, which also attracted Wang Manling's attention.
She deliberately went to listen to Lin Yao's song.
She soon discovered that almost every one of Lin Yao's popular works this year was written by a songwriter named Fang Xiaole.
Many people think that Lin Yao's popularity is because she sings well, looks beautiful, and has a gentle and likable personality.
But Wang Manling felt that most of the credit should be credited to this songwriter named Fang Xiaole.
Subsequently, I heard about Fang Xiaole from the mouth of my godbrother Hong Sanshi.
Wang Manling originally wanted to invite Fang Xiaole to sing through Hong Sanshi, but she found that almost all the good songs written by Fang Xiaole were given to Lin Yao.
And the songs listed for sale by Ai Yao Studio are either of slightly poor quality, or they are not suitable for themselves.
She has an intuition that Fang Xiaole can write more good songs!
But if you want to invite songs from him, I'm afraid you have to go through Lin Yao.
With such an idea, Wang Manling agreed to the invitation of the Golden Melody Awards.
Sure enough, after Lin Yao won the Golden Melody Award, this also gave Wang Manling the opportunity to contact Lin Yao and invite Fang Xiaole to sing through her.
What she wants is not the quasi-first-class works sung by Tang Wan and Xu Fei, but real classics like women's flowers and courage.
After the Golden Melody Award, after waiting patiently for two days, this Fang Xiaole finally called himself.
Wang Manling originally planned to get close to the other party first, and then take advantage of the situation to throw out the request for inviting songs.
But I didn't expect this Fang Xiaole to be so direct.
"Sister Manling, Lin Yao has already told me, you want me to write you a song, it just so happens that I have a song in my hand that is very suitable for you. ”
When Wang Manling was slightly stunned, Fang Xiaole continued.
"What song?"
Wang Manling felt that she couldn't see through this young man.
Or rather, she thought of this person too complicated from the beginning.
Could it be that if she had discovered him earlier and was willing to pay a high price, the songs of courage, the woman's flower, the invisible wings and the painted heart would have been hers?
It's not right, Lin Yao was just a newcomer before, and Tianhai Entertainment is a half-dead hanging, how can he have the money to buy so many golden songs?
"The name of the song is when I wake up from a dream. ”
Wang Manling was thinking about it, and Fang Xiaole had already directly said the name of the song.
"When you wake up?"
Wang Manling asked, "What style of song?"
"Sister Man Ling, if you want to hear it, I'll send you a sample. ”
Fang Xiaole smiled.
"Good. ”
Hearing Fang Xiaole's unusually calm voice, Wang Manling was a little looking forward to it, because she heard extremely confidence in Fang Xiaole's voice.
What kind of song can make a gold medal songwriter so confident?
The two hung up the phone temporarily, and Fang Xiaole sent a sample of the song to Wang Manling's mailbox.
Two minutes later.
"Wife, sleep more, wife?"
Wang Manling's husband gently walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and walked to the living room, but saw Wang Manling wearing headphones and sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"Wife?"
He walked over and touched Wang Manling.
"Huh?"
Wang Manling came back to her senses and looked up at her husband, still looking a little confused.
"Wife, are you alright?"
The man was startled, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Wang Manling's husband is called Xiao Lin, who was also a singer, and after the two got married, Xiao Lin simply gave up singing and turned behind the scenes, concentrating on logistics for his wife.
In Xiao Lin's impression, his wife is a very calm woman, and it is difficult for her to show such a sluggish and distracted appearance.
"Husband, listen to this song. ”
Wang Manling took a headset to Xiao Lin, but then frowned again, and simply sent a sample of the song to Xiao Lin's mobile phone, and said to him:
"Find your own headphones to listen to. ”
Then I put on two more headphones and played the sample again.
"Are you concerned?"
Xiao Lin smiled, thinking to himself if his wife was amusing herself? She hadn't heard any songs for so many years, so was she so excited?
Even sharing a pair of headphones with yourself is afraid that it will affect the sound quality when listening to songs.
Xiao Lin, who was used to being disgusted, shook his head, bent down and took out a pair of headphones from the drawer of the coffee table, plugged them into his mobile phone, and clicked on the song sample called "When I Wake Up".
"You said you loved someone you shouldn't love, and your heart was full of scars......"
After the free and elegant melody, a somewhat low male voice sounded.
"There seems to be something wrong with the singer's voice. ”
Xiao Lin only had time to think for a moment, and his thoughts and feelings were quickly carried into the melody and singing.
After a minute, only one demo was played.
Xiao Lin let out a long breath.
He is forty-one years old this year, and he has experienced a lot of ups and downs and tribulations in the first half of his life, and even his love with Wang Manling has encountered a lot of doubts and tests.
stumbling all the way to today, the two of them finally managed to see the moon, and they can be regarded as "old men".
Even though he is so happy today, the scars left by those lives are deeply imprinted in his heart.
At this time, this song "Dream Hour" suddenly aroused Xiao Lin's emotions that had not fluctuated for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Sighing softly, he lowered his head and pressed the play again.
A minute later, Shoren ...... again
Wang Manling, who also listened to it again, directly took off the headphones for him, and asked impatiently:
"How?"
Xiao Lin didn't speak, picked up the tissue on the coffee table, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes for her.
"Huh, why am I crying?"
Wang Manling touched her eyes in a daze.
"It could be onions, I added onions to the egg fried rice at noon. ”
Xiao Lin said lightly.
"I hate it, I didn't eat your egg fried rice at noon!"
Wang Manling scolded with a smile and pulled a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Husband, this song reminds me of the most difficult days for both of us, and I feel as if I love you more...... I'm going to buy this song!"
Two minutes later, Wang Manling dialed Fang Xiaole's phone:
"Teacher Fang, how much does this song cost?"
