Chapter 42: The Lady
Someone on the other side of the corridor quickly agreed, and after a while, a clerk went to get a blank sheet music and a pen, Li Qian thanked him, waved his hand at Qi Jie, who heard the sound, to signal that it was okay, and then took the paper and pen back to the room.
The paper was spread out on the coffee table, and Li Qian took the pen and began to write.
He Runqing, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but widen his eyes - this is to write a song on the spot?
After a while, I saw that Li Qian had already written half a piece of paper, although he had scribbled and smeared, but he was actually writing the lyrics and songs at the same time, but in just ten minutes, a paragraph had already come out - the speed of writing the song was simply terrifying.
After another moment, He Runqing finally couldn't help it, and leaned over to glance at it.
The song doesn't have a name yet, and the rhythm of the tune is a bit weird, but the first few lines of lyrics are really eye-catching-a pot of good wine, and a bowl of hot porridge, with a few catties of beef, I said that the shop is small, is three taels of silver enough?
Such lyrics are nothing at first glance, and even too bland, but if you taste it carefully, you will actually feel a bit old-fashioned, and it seems that there is still a bit of Water Margin, or the taste of martial arts novels?
Well, He Runqing is really eye-catching.
It seems that this will be a Chinese song?
But then, when she looked seriously at the song that matched the lyrics and subconsciously wanted to hum it in her heart, she was unconsciously stunned.
This is...... What rhythm?
It's weird!
Rap?
It's a little, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the rap and rap in European and American pop music!
So, is this Chinese style? or rap?
He Runqing was stunned. I couldn't help but keep looking. And this time. Li Qian seemed to have completely forgotten that there was still a person sitting opposite. It's just about writing songs with all your heart.
This song, of course, is not original to him, so scribbling or something, purely for a show, of course, in fact, although this song has been written by him in his treasured book last year. But after a long time, it is normal to occasionally make a mistake in remembering so little.
Finally, for about half an hour, Li Qian was always writing, drawing, revising, revising, and correcting, and He Runqing sat opposite him, lying on his stomach in an extremely awkward posture, leaning sideways, twisting his neck, and staring at him with wide eyes.
Just like that, she actually watched him finish writing a new song!
After writing the last sentence, Li Qian checked it again from the beginning. Put down the pen.
"Alright, that's it. Sister Runqing, can you take a look?"
As he spoke, he handed over two sheets of paper filled with scores and lyrics.
He Runqing took it and looked at it from the beginning seriously, but the more she looked, the more surprised her face became.
Although He Runqing doesn't like it much, it is a must for every singer to listen to music extensively and grasp the popular trend of the world music industry, so she has naturally heard of this style of music, but as far as she knows, even in Europe and the United States, rap has only begun to rise gradually in recent years, and has even begun to become one of the main forces in the pop music scene on the market, and it is ...... in China Well, it is said that some people are doing it, but first, the audience of this genre in China is still too small, so there are very few people who do it, and until now, they have always been in the stage of underground music, and no music company is willing to explore and do this.
And now, Li Qian actually wrote a standard Chinese classical lyrics, which is full of charm, and then, he actually gave such a very Chinese lyrics with a rap tune!
What is this called?
Of course, this is Li Qian's work, just a subconscious feeling, she first directly included this song in the category of good songs, so next, what she needs to do is to understand what such a "good song" is all about!
A good song is naturally excellent, and I can't understand it, but I haven't understood its wonderfulness yet-well, this is the benefit of the fame accumulated by Li Qian's past works.
In particular, Li Qian wrote this song in front of her, and it took less than half an hour, and if you put aside the style of music, just looking at the lyrics, this lyrics are definitely handy, then it is conceivable that Li Qian must have his own reason for matching this song with such a tune.
It's just that...... It's not easy to understand!
He Runqing couldn't even imagine what a strange feeling it would be when this song was sung!
However, Li Qian is obviously testing himself!
How can it be said that you can't accept such a style and collocation at all?
Isn't that tantamount to admitting that you can't accept the style that Li Qian has made for you? Then why are you embarrassed to ask someone to say that you want someone to help you transform? Didn't you get slapped in the face in the blink of an eye with what you said just now?
He Runqing looked at it once, then reversed it and looked at it again...... The more I looked at it, the more furrowed I became.
Li Qian looked at her with a smile.
To be honest, it feels like a bad taste has succeeded.
That feeling is like watching Teresa Teng standing on the stage with a flushed face, indicating that you can't sing Jay Chou's rap...... Well, it's really bad fun.
Even, to a certain extent, compared with Teresa Teng, who has sung rock and jazz, she is also the queen of sweet songs, and He Runqing's past singing path is even narrower than her. Then, in the face of such a work as "Lady", which completely subverts her concept, she will be shocked and resist this kind of work, which will be even more powerful than Teresa Teng!
Truth be told, it's almost difficult!
However, if you really want to sign He Runqing, this is another must.
What Sony Records has no opinions, what will not be squeezed out by the industry collective, etc., of course, I have to think about it, but to say that these things will prevent Li Qian from signing his favorite singer, then it is not enough! Li Qian will take it out and say, and repeatedly say that in the final analysis, it is just an excuse to refuse.
And to tell the truth, even if there is only one Liao Liao, won't people be red-eyed?
The eyes are red. It's still red-eyed!
Even if there is no Liao Liao. Even if this small studio only signed two newcomers for training. When it's time to release an album, there are still record companies that don't mind stepping on their feet!
Therefore, the key point is, if He Runqing really comes, can he help her successfully achieve transformation?
For his part, Li Qian still has some confidence.
After all, those resources in his head, and the grasp of future market trends. Even if he is compared with the best musicians in the current domestic music scene, he still has a great advantage.
But for He Runqing, his confidence is absolutely insufficient!
Again, the habits of the past few years, and the experiences that once helped her reach the pinnacle of life, will stop her, keep her stuck in place, and struggle.
For example, like now, you let He Runqing sing rap?
She won't say anything on the surface. She just said that she really couldn't sing, but in fact, what about her heart? Maybe she looks down on this kind of music form that is still extremely niche in China!
The old form. The old successful people will always subconsciously reject and look down on new things, which is not a habit of one person, but a chronic disease of the whole human race!
…………
More than 20 minutes passed, He Runqing held the two music scores tightly in her hand, and read them over and over again no less than five or six times, and Li Qian could even clearly see the nervous, anxious, and helpless emotions on her face.
Li Qian knew that she really couldn't sing!
However, she just refused to raise her head and say: I'm sorry, I can't sing!
After another moment, Li Qian finally couldn't help it, and while sighing in his heart, he said softly: "Sister Runqing shouldn't be familiar with this kind of music, right?"
God pity!
At this moment, He Runqing really felt a sudden sigh of relief!
If she decided to sign in to Li Qian's studio no matter what, she was still full of confidence in herself, and felt that she had lowered her value so much, even if Li Qian didn't greet her, it was estimated that there was no reason to refuse it.
And later, even if Li Qian really rejected her like that, she was still full of confidence in herself, thinking that Li Qian was probably really afraid of the huge pressure brought by Sony, so she didn't dare to accept herself, so she even said something to Qi Jie that seemed to be quite inappropriate, just like the eldest sister was instructing Li Qian, the younger brother, how to do things.
Even just now, when she faced Li Qian's questioning and said that she could not only sing sweet songs, and that Chinese style was as fine as urban love songs, she could still be called full of confidence. Because indeed, she knows herself, whether it is an urban love song or a Chinese style, she sings differently from Liao Liao, but she must have her own unique taste, and she may not be worse than her!
This is her pride as a diva-level superstar!
Yes, people who have reached He Runqing's status and have singing skills at her level have such self-confidence!
She is confident that as long as Li Qian is willing to help her transform, then, no matter what song or way, she will definitely be able to do it and sing well!
Therefore, in order to transform, she even said the words "I will sing how you ask me to sing", just to show her attitude and really impress Li Qian from the sincerity!
But now, when she faces this "Lady", ...... Well, even if she is as confident as her, she is embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into!
Of course, this is rap, no matter how Chinese the lyrics are, it is also rap!
However, what he just said, now Li Qian has written such a song for himself on the spot, a Chinese rap! How can he not rap?
But...... I really can't sing!
Fortunately, Li Qian's words finally gave her a step to go down.
So, she quickly raised her head a little embarrassed, handed over the score, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Okay, that's right, I haven't heard you sing yet!"
Li Qian smiled, took the score, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the practice room!"
