Chapter Eighty-Seven: Loved Across the Mountains and Seas, the Mountains and Seas Are Unflattened
in the rehearsal room.
"Lin Xuan, let's get started. Bei Bei looked at him excitedly and urged.
In the expectant gaze of everyone, Lin Xuan held the guitar, plucked the strings with his fingers, and in the accompaniment of the electric guitar, a deep voice came out:
I looked, naΓ―ve to myself
Appears, without me in the story
β¦β¦
A few whispered lyrics at the beginning, as if a person came home late at night, leaning back on the couch, whispering in frustration, and his voice was full of loss.
Then the guitar stops abruptly, squeezing a tearing sound out of the throat:
She understands, she understands, I can't afford it
So he turned and walked into the mountains
She understands, she understands, I can't afford it
So he turned and walked towards the sea
β¦β¦
Lin Xuan held the guitar and hung his head, his fingers fluctuated quickly on the strings, and the passionate voice of Dianji sounded, like a man roaring unwillingly, and finally he was powerless, and everything was scattered in the wind.
The lyrics of this song are only two paragraphs, which seem very simple, but they hit the hearts of the people, making Li Bi and others silent, like a static sculpture, with complex expressions, and many people's eyes are full of remembrance.
These people who sit in underground music have all experienced a very difficult period at the beginning, and have deeply experienced the feeling of a man who is powerless.
"She understands, she understands, I can't afford it. β
This simple lyric hit their hearts at once.
After the singing, it was a minute before the crowd began to speak.
"What's the name of this song?" asked Li Bi.
"Mountains and seas. Lin Xuan said.
Li Bi sighed softly, "The love is separated by mountains and seas, mountains and seas are not flat, and the helplessness of life will be encountered by everyone." β
Zhang Fei touched his chin and said, "Xiaolin, I think your song should not just be about helplessness in the face of love." β
Li Xiong also nodded in agreement, and said: "Although the lyrics are only two short paragraphs, which are very concise, I think there are many things you want to express in your lyrics, which are worth pondering carefully." β
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said: "This song comes from Li Wei's story, but it is true that Li Wei feels that he can't give Wei Ling the future, there are mountains and seas between the two, and the sentence "She understands, she understands, I can't afford it", it can be either a female "she" or a male "he". β
Li Xiong's eyes lit up and said, "Xiaolin, you write the lyrics for us." β
Lin Xuan found a piece of paper, quickly wrote down the lyrics, and handed them to Li Xiong.
Several people read the lyrics for a few minutes, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.
Li Xiong exclaimed: "Xiaolin, you have always been the best at writing lyrics, your writing ability is really too strong, and the seemingly simple lyrics contain so much content, amazing!"
The others nodded their heads.
Bei Bei's mouth couldn't close with a smile, he felt that he hadn't joined the bands that invited him before, and he admired Lin Xuan's talent very much, this was the band he wanted to join.
"Xiaolin, sing the second song you wrote. Zhang Fei said.
Lin Xuan nodded, picked up the guitar and sang the second song.
"What do you think of these two songs? After singing, Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
Li Bizan said:
"Kobayashi, your creative ability is really strong, these two songs are rare and excellent rock works. The original intention of our show was to promote rock music, but in order to make the show look better, Wu Producer said that there must still be a competition system so that the audience can have a sense of expectation.
So the first song, I estimate that the bands I participate in will sing their own market-tested hits, since they participated in the show, no one wants to lose, originally, you said that you don't sing "Life is more than what is in front of you", I am still a little worried about singing new songs.
After all, it is very important to have an audience or not, and if we are brushed off in the first round, it will also be faced. Now that I've listened to your two songs, I don't think there's anything to worry about, just with the quality of this work, even if the audience hears it for the first time, I don't think the ranking is much lower. β
Zhang Fei agreed:
"The quality of the lyrics and songs is the foundation, since Xiaolin already has the idea of arranging, then we will seize the time to make the arrangement, and then start practicing, we have just established a band, and we need to work all aspects of cooperation. β
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then let's get started. Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Then I started to talk about my own arrangement ideas, what needs to be done with guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, and what kind of effect I want to present.
Several people nodded frequently, whether to express their opinions.
β¦β¦
After a busy day in the rehearsal room, Li Bi and the others were all masters, and they recognized Lin Xuan's creative ability and the theme expressed in his songs, although some of the details were slightly different, but they were quickly determined, and the arrangement of "Mountains and Seas" was basically completed in a few hours.
They are preparing to sing the first song "Mountains and Seas", so they are not in a hurry to arrange the second song, and practicing the first song is the most important thing at present.
A new band will definitely encounter all kinds of problems during the rehearsal stage, and it will take a run-in process.
He stayed in the rehearsal room until the afternoon before Lin Xuan returned home.
At this time, his cell phone rang, and he glanced at the caller ID, which was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hey, hello. β
"Hello, is it Mr. Lin?" a sweet female voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.
"I'm Lin Xuan, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello Mr. Lin Xuan, I am Tong Yan, the editor of "Fairy Tale World", we saw the fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" you posted on Weibo, and we think it is very well written. β
"So?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Xuan has heard of "Fairy Tale World", which is the largest children's magazine in China, and many famous domestic fairy tale writers have serialized stories in "Fairy Tale World".
"That's right, with the support of the education department, our magazine is holding a fairy tale contest, which is first voted by readers, then evaluated by experts, and finally the story that won the first place is very likely to be included in the primary school Chinese textbook. β
Tong Yan said: "Mr. Lin, you also know that there are not many writers engaged in children's literature creation in my country, and there are only a few who are really famous, and there are naturally not many high-quality products.
Children represent the future of the motherland, complex stories children can not appreciate, and fairy tales are written according to the characteristics of children's psychological development, to cultivate children's cognitive ability, observation ability, communication ability, imagination, creativity, and empathy ability, etc., have an immeasurable subtle effect.
Our editorial department unanimously believes that Mr. Lin's "The Emperor's New Clothes" is a rare and excellent fairy tale, so we want Mr. Lin to participate in this competition. β
Lin Xuan thought for a while, and then directly agreed, "Yes, the next generation represents the future, if the stories I create can be liked by children and can make them grow better, it is a matter of immeasurable merit." β
