Chapter 4 Can a Chef Write Songs?
In a classroom at the Jingcheng Conservatory of Music.
There are no classes on Saturdays, but every Saturday morning, the head teacher, Professor Li Yang, will give a small class to the composition department, analyze some popular music works or explain the homework he assigned.
Today, the content of Professor Li Yang's lecture is exactly the previous director Shen Lu wanted to collect the theme song of the movie, and Professor Li asked his students to exercise and give them homework by the way.
"Alright, that's all for today, let's disperse. ”
Professor Li Yang finished analyzing the works handed in by the students, and the works of several students were not bad, but they were still a lot short of being the theme song of the movie.
"Professor Li, wait a minute. Just as the classmates were packing up their things and preparing to leave, Sun Xue stood up and said loudly.
"What's wrong?" Professor Li looked puzzled.
"Professor Li, that's right, I found an original song yesterday, I think it's very good, and the theme is very consistent with the content of Director Shen's movie, which is very suitable as a theme song, and I want to recommend it to you. Sun Xue said.
"Oh, where did you find out?" Professor Li was interested.
In the past two days, his good friend Director Shen Lu has been sad about the theme song of the movie, seeing that the later stage of the movie is almost completed, and the release schedule has already been set, but Shen Lu is not satisfied with several songs in his hand, and he has complained to Professor Li in the past two days.
When the other students heard Shen Lu's words, they also gathered over, looking curious.
Shen Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard the song in the bar street." ”
Professor Li Yang was slightly stunned and said, "Which bar, White House Bar, or Green Sun Bar?"
The two bars mentioned by Professor Li are famous cultural landmarks on Bar Street, which became famous at the end of the last century.
Nowadays, some of the old guns in the domestic literary and art circles have stopped there, leaving their years of burning passion.
Some of the most famous singers in the music scene, as well as some well-known bands in the circle, also sang there before they became famous.
When Professor Li was young, he and some friends in the literary circle also didn't know how many times he drank flowers in it.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Lu said Bar Street, Professor Li immediately thought of these two places, which have always been home to some very talented singers who lack opportunities, and it is possible to write good songs.
Sun Xue shook her head and said, "I didn't find it in those two bars, but in a music restaurant." ”
"A music restaurant?"
Professor Li was stunned, and after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out which famous music restaurant was in Bar Street.
"It's an ordinary music restaurant, it only opened yesterday, there is no singer in the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant is the chef but can also sing, yesterday at my request, the owner sang me an original song, I think it's very good. Sun Xue explained.
Professor Li smiled in amazement and said, "You said it was a song written by a chef?"
Sun Xue nodded silently.
"Hahaha. ”
"Xiaoxue, what are you kidding?"
"What kind of songs can a chef write?"
"Xiaoxue, are you stupid, if a famous bar singer in the White House Bar writes a good song, I can still believe a few points, but chef, come on. ”
"We can't write songs from professional classes, but you want to recommend a song written by a chef to Professor Li, thinking that it can be used as the theme song of the movie, you are crazy. ”
"If a song written by a cook can be used as the theme song of a movie, then the sow will go up the tree. ”
The students of the composition department laughed one after another, with a little disdain on their faces, and there was a lot of discussion.
Sun Xue was a little anxious and said, "I know it sounds a little incredible, but that song is really good, I don't believe you can ask Li Yi." ”
All the students turned their heads to look at Li Yi.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Professor Li, although we are still students and our creative ability is not strong enough, under your teaching, we still have aesthetic ability, and I also think it is a good pop song." ”
The students looked at the two of them speechlessly, thinking that they had taken the wrong medicine, so they thought of recommending a song written by a cook to Professor Li.
Professor Li looked at Sun Xue with tears and laughter, and said:
"Xiaoxue, how good can a song written by a layman be? You still have to recommend it to me as the theme song of the movie, which is also a bit ......"
"Professor Li, let's go to that restaurant and listen to it, if you still don't think it's good enough, then forget it. Sun Lu struggled.
"Okay, no need to say it again, so many works written by professional songwriters can't satisfy Director Shen, do you think a layman's work can conquer Director Shen?!" Professor Li waved his hand.
Sun Xue opened her mouth, a little unwilling, thinking that she was going to go to the restaurant again today, and asked the boss to sing it again and record it for the professor.
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly said: "Professor Li, haven't we been saying that we are going to have dinner for a while? It's been a long time, why don't we go to that music restaurant for dinner tonight, and you can listen to the song sung by the boss by the way?"
"You two guys, you're really brainless, but I really don't believe how good a song can be written by a layman?"
Professor Li glanced at the two helplessly, thought for a while, and said, "However, we really haven't had a dinner together for a long time, so let's go to dinner today, and I'll listen to it by the way." ”
"Okay. Sun Xue and Li Yi glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
……
On Saturday, half an hour after the store opened, there were still no customers, Lin Xuan sat in the store, a little anxious.
At that moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, and then a group of people walked in.
"Professor Li, this is the restaurant, the food made by the owner is delicious, and the songs are also very good. The first person to walk in was Sun Xue, who introduced a middle-aged man about fifty years old behind him.
Yesterday, Sun Xue said that she would come to him for dinner, but she didn't expect to bring so many people today, Lin Xuan was very happy and hurriedly greeted him.
"Wow, the boss is so handsome. ”
Those female classmates in the crowd saw Lin Xuan's eyes light up and whispered in a low voice.
As for those male classmates, they were a little unhappy when they saw that the female classmates' eyes were attracted by Lin Xuan.
"Hello, please take a seat and take a look at the menu. Lin Xuan greeted.
A total of eighteen guests sat down at three tables.
"Xiaoxue, I finally know why you said that the songs created by the boss are very good, the boss's appearance is too much, and ordinary songs will become good songs. A female classmate approached Sun Xue and laughed.
Several other female classmates also laughed when they heard this.
They didn't believe that a cook could write any good songs, but now that they saw Lin Xuan's appearance, they all thought that Sun Xue had added a lot of points to Lin Xuan's songs because of his appearance.
"The owner is really handsome, but the song is also very good. Sun Xue retorted.
With that, Sun Xue stood up, walked to Lin Xuan's side, and said, "Boss Lin, can you sing that song from yesterday to us again." ”
"Sing it again?"
Lin Xuan was slightly stunned, and then prepared to agree.
In his previous life, he experienced all kinds of involuntary things in the entertainment industry, and he didn't want to be a star in this life and enter the entertainment industry.
However, Lin Xuan has been chasing his dream for so many years in his last life, and he really likes musical, movies and other literary and artistic works, he doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry, but he doesn't mind sharing those works and singing them to customers.
But at this moment, several male classmates spoke.
"Yes, boss, I heard that you sang an original song of your own yesterday, Xiaoxue said that you sang very well, let us see it too. ”
A male classmate shouted, his words seemed to be fine, but the tone was yin and yang, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.
"yes, I also want to see what amazing songs a layman can write. The other male classmate seemed to be talking to the people around him, but the voice was just enough for Lin Xuan to hear.
"I guess the song was written with my face. A male classmate with eyes also deliberately said in a voice that was just enough for Lin Xuan to hear.
Originally, these classmates from the professional class were quite arrogant, and they didn't believe that a cook could write songs at all, but after they came, they saw that Lin Xuan was so young and handsome, and they took away the attention of all the female classmates, and they were all jealous in their hearts.
These students have no social experience and can't hide their emotions, and their words at the moment are a bit deliberately aimed at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, looked at Sun Xue, and said, "These classmates of yours seem to have some opinions about me." ”
"I'm sorry, Boss Lin. ”
Sun Xue smiled apologetically and said, "You don't have to worry about them, they are jealous of your talent, and if you sing, they will naturally shut up." ”
"However, I don't want to sing because I am angry with others, I am bored, forget it, you come over another day, and I will sing to you alone. Lin Xuan shook his head and said.
