Chapter XXXVII: Pigs and Pigs

In the bedroom, Li Qian lay on the table, wrote and crossed out in the notebook with his right hand, took the guitar from time to time to play a few chords, and then leaned over to write for a while.

He was arranging the music for the five songs he sold to Liao Liao.

When it comes to arrangement, it may seem insignificant to outsiders, but people who are really engaged in the music industry take it very seriously without exception. It's like a famous actor who sings and sings is bound to have a "string" around him, and if he doesn't have a string, he will even refuse to appear on the stage, all singers who are somewhat famous often have a few well-related arrangements, and every time they want to release a new song, they will find the right person to arrange the music for themselves according to the different styles, if you let him change someone, he will not be at ease - the so-called string, the so-called arrangement, in fact, the general effect is very similar, in short, - the tone!

A good string can always bring out the voice of the famous actor and the unique charm of the singing tone to the extreme, and a good arrangement can always bring out the artistic conception and theme of the whole song to the greatest extent, and help the singer to push out the feelings of the song and push it in place to the greatest extent.

In reality, there is often this situation: you have heard a certain song, but you don't think about it, and one day, you hear this song again on a certain program, but suddenly your eyes light up, and you think this song is really good!

Don't wonder, it must be a rearrangement!

Therefore, a good song and a good singer are of course the most important and the most basic, but for a song or an album to become popular, to be sung and listened to by more people, to become a classic in the hearts of listeners, a good arrangement is absolutely essential.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Liao Liao did not hesitate to buy songs at a high price and let Li Qian be in charge of arranging the music - as a singer who is particularly sensitive to emotions, although she only listened to Li Qian sing it on the guitar, she understood at that time that Li Qian was very keen to capture the soul and temperament of those two songs.

And in her opinion, it is obvious that Li Qian is the original author, and even if his arrangement is not used in the end, it will definitely be extremely valuable for reference!

…………

It should be admitted that as long as music is involved, Li Qian's memory is absolutely outstanding, after all, he is engaged in this and is exposed to it every day, so he naturally remembers more and remembers this aspect accurately.

But even if he remembers it accurately, "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers" are indeed classics enough, but after all, they are songs twenty years ago, and he must have not heard them for at least ten years before he fell off Weiya and hung up, so it is not a problem to recall the lyrics and songs, but the arrangement, he can only remember some of the most critical things.

For example, he probably remembers that the arrangement of "Wild Flowers" is mainly for guitar and violin, and he also remembers that the arrangement of "Persistence" is also mainly for guitar - in fact, Tian Zhen's album back then was itself in the style of light rock and folk songs, and it is not too difficult to remember this - plus "Cheers, Friend" is also about to follow this path, so even if you can't remember it accurately, it is not difficult to rearrange them for them.

The relatively difficult ones are "Unfinished Love" and "My Hometown of Love".

Among them, "Unfinished Love" is obviously a song with a Chinese style, and later generations have the appearance of Dong Chou, and most of Li Qian's research on Chinese style has been tilted into his works with Lin Junjie, Wang Leehom and others, so that although I can recall the lyrics and songs of "Unfinished Love", I don't have the slightest impression of what the original arrangement looks like.

As for "My Hometown of Love", although this song was really popular back then, because the age is too far away, although Li Qian has heard and liked it, but to this day, only words and songs are left in his memory of it.

So, these two songs are the point.

Of course, in fact, the most difficult thing for Li Qian is that there are too few tools at hand.

Not to mention that there is a library of materials that can be called up from the computer at will, and now he only has a guitar on hand, not even a keyboard!

Therefore, his current so-called arrangement is purely gnawing at his brain - there are not enough things, and imagination is making up.

In line with the principle of easy first and then difficult, Li Qian only spent an hour while reminiscing and looking for feelings, and without waiting for dinner, he processed the arrangement of the three songs "Persistence", "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers, Friend" to make a rough approximation, and after dinner, he took out more than half an hour and carefully went through it twice, and appropriately adjusted some details, even if it was basically finalized.

Then, he tore off a few clean sheets of white paper from the performance herb and carefully copied his own version of the arrangement, which was considered to be alive. And that's the end of his arrangement today.

Next, he plans to devote another two to three days to the arrangement of the remaining two songs.

He didn't have the slightest impression of the original arrangement of "Unfinished Love", but it doesn't matter, after entering the 21st century, with the rise of Chou Dong, with the popularity of songs such as "East Wind Breaking", "Jiangnan", and "Hair Like Snow", as a person who has eaten music for more than ten years, Li Qian has naturally studied the arrangement of Chinese-style songs. Therefore, he is ready to do a good job in the arrangement of "Unfinished Love", and the right work is a test of his ability to arrange.

As for "My Hometown of Love", to be honest, when Li Qian grew up, especially after he started playing rock, arranging, and making soundtracks, this kind of song was no longer very popular, but including this song, including "My Family Lives in the Loess High Slope", the arrangement of this obvious folk style masterpiece has an obvious tendency.

That is, enthusiastic and unrestrained.

So, as long as you use dim sum, it shouldn't be too difficult.

And in the face of this song, Li Qian will definitely be very attentive.

Because in his prediction, although several songs such as "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers" will become more and more popular over time, it is "My Hometown of Love" that will help Liao Liao's album hit the first shot.

This kind of thing, in fact, there is not much reason to talk about, several songs are good songs, and they are all classics enough, but according to Li Qian's understanding, the most popular styles in the current domestic music scene are folk songs, folk songs and folk songs. Among the first-line singers who have really been recognized by the public, only the Flying Band represents rock, Zhou Yan represents urban love songs, and the rest of the big-name singers are almost all playing this category, at least mainly in this category.

Not to mention Chinese style, even the songs of love and love are not the mainstream of the music world.

So, in a word: this song must be red!

…………

After copying the score, Li Qian stood up and stretched, thought about it, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Wang Jinglu: I have good news to tell you, go to the rooftop.

After sending the text message, he put away his phone, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, then said hello to his parents, and changed his shoes and went out.

In the afternoon, Li's father and mother had already been to the bank.

Cheques are fine and can be cashed at any time.

Dad Li withdrew 50,000 yuan at that time and transferred it to Li Qian's bank card, leaving the 350,000 yuan, he was afraid that Li Qian's young man would not be able to hold it, so he deliberately opened a new account to deposit it.

When he came back, Li's father and Li's mother also went to an accounting firm and spent 60 yuan to consult about the sale of song copyrights and taxes.

The results are very surprising: the income from the sale of copyrights of original works in the cultural industry such as songs and scripts enjoys the same treatment as the manuscript fees obtained for the publication and publication of literary works: exemption from individual income tax!

In other words, it doesn't matter if it's 30,000, 50,000, or 400,000, or even more, how much or how much it should be, it's all the author's, and the country doesn't want a cent!

According to Li's father, he also consulted by the way at that time, it is said that the derivatives of cultural copyrights, such as the sales revenue of records, tapes, videotapes, and VcD, as well as the box office income of movies, the ticket income of operas, the ticket income of dramas, and the ticket income of concerts...... and so on, although the derivative income of these literary and artistic works is taxed, the tax rate is also very low.

This news is naturally too good news for Li Qian, who is determined to revolve around music and movies all his life - this is not simply a matter of money and taxes, this represents an attitude of the state to vigorously support the cultural industry, with this attitude, it is difficult for the cultural industry to prosper!

The whole industry is prosperous, and the people in it can rise all boats!

…………

Li Qian came to the top of the building and waited for a while, and Wang Jinglu came up.

"Is there any good news for me?" she asked, looking in a good mood.

Li Qian didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "I sold five songs this afternoon, my original songs, and sold them to a singer!"

Wang Jinglu paused when she heard this, and then her face showed surprise, "Really fake?"

Li Qian nodded.

At this moment, Wang Jinglu was really happy, "You can already sell songs? I thought you could just sing other people's songs! Hey, hey, how much did you sell?"

Li Qian smiled, "Anyway, it's enough to invite you to eat rice noodles many times!"

Wang Jinglu let out a "ha", and still asked persistently: "Say, how much is it?"

Li Qian stretched out four fingers, and without waiting for her to guess, he said directly: "Four hundred thousand." ”

"Wow!"

At this moment, Wang Jinglu was really stunned.

Then, she excitedly clenched her little fists and unconsciously swung her hands in front of her, "Four hundred thousand...... Oh my God! Ahh

While talking, she couldn't help but walk around and walk around Li Qian......

Then, she said, spoke, spoke......

"Do you know? I heard my sister say that the album released by their group, excluding the expenses of collecting songs, arranging, producing, editing, etc., will only start to make a profit when it sells 300,000 copies, and they will be able to get bonuses, I remember the last time my sister came back and told my mother that until now, the money earned from that record has only been distributed to her is only about 20,000 yuan!"

"20,000 yuan, my sister, and the other four people in their group, they worked hard every day to practice singing and dancing, and as a result, they worked hard for a year, and they only earned 100,000 yuan from the album!"

"My sister said that the biggest income of their group comes from commercial performances, but even that, even if they released an album last year, they received fifty or sixty commercial performances in four or five months, and my sister only got 200,000 yuan, but you, you only sold five songs, and sold 400,000 yuan!"

“……”

Li Qian looked at her with a little surprise.

He had seen her cheering, that is, after Li Qian's grades in the last monthly exam had improved significantly, she had shown such a presumptuous smile in front of him for the first time.

In fact, even in the original memory of Li Qian, except for the years when she was a child, everyone ran and laughed wildly together, she has always been as beautiful as water, elegant as the wind, and she is a good girl. Li Qian never even remembered that when she grew up, she had such an excited and somewhat abnormal moment - even after the last monthly exam, although she was happy, she was still a little restrained, and she did not behave like now, so excited that she almost lost control.

But...... That's what a seventeen-year-old girl should look like!

Seeing her ecstatic and frenzied appearance, Li Qian suddenly felt that even he had regained a sense of youth.

Youth...... It's not that you're young when you're seventeen, it's not that you're young when you're in high school, you don't even sweat your palms when you sit next to a girl, you don't blush when you hold hands with a girl, and you don't feel your heartbeat and happiness accelerate when you're dating a girl...... So how can you be considered youthful?

And now, looking at Wang Jinglu, Li Qian suddenly smelled the smell of youth.

"Hey, if I'm in for a treat, how many bowls of rice noodles are you going to eat?"

"Ahh......h I'm going to eat...... Two bowls of ...... No, three bowls! Anyway, you're rich, I'm going to eat hard!"

"Pig!"

"You're a pig!"

"I'll only eat one bowl!"

"That's a pig too!"

“……”

Finally, after venting, the ecstasy gradually cooled down, and she began to calm down slowly, but even if there was no light or moonlight, Li Qian still subconsciously saw that her little face was always red!

"Hey, what songs have you written, selling for so much money?"

"There are several songs, a total of three styles!"

"You must sing it to me when you come back!"

"Good!"

"By the way, can I tell my sister...... Hey, yes, since you can write songs, then you can write a song for my sister......!

"Don't even think about it...... Your sister probably won't even look at it......"

"Oh......"

I don't know what I thought of, Wang Jinglu suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Li Qian turned her head to look at her, as if sensing Li Qian's gaze, she also raised her head and looked at Li Qian shyly and timidly.

"I'll write you a song. ”

"Ahh

"Okay, so you guessed it, it's already written, I'll sing it to you when I get back!"

"Okay! Then I must record it, and I can take it to the capital in the future, and I can listen to it often!"

“……”
