After school in the afternoon, the roof of the teaching building of the 13th Middle School.

Li Qian plucked the guitar a little jerkyly, trying to find the feeling of "Love Me or Not".

This "Love You or Not" is not the "Love Me or Don't Love Me" that he was familiar with in his previous life, and it is not rock at all, just an ordinary pop love song, judging by the frequency of playback in roadside video stores, it should be quite popular this year.

The song is very well written, the lyrics are medium, the melody is excellent, in the current era, it has all the qualifications to be popular, not to mention the song of the famous singer Huang Yuqing.

Although it was rusty, I practiced the chords that I had rearranged a few times, and I gradually became proficient.

Of course, he knew that it was not enough to be familiar with it, and to use it as his own performance song, he had to practice it to the point of extreme proficiency, at least at hand.

And "Love Me or Not" is just the beginning.

After listening carefully to the tapes in his hand a few times, Li Qian selected some songs that he could sing and should be able to sing well, not many, only about a dozen at present. He then went through the guitar arrangements one by one and was ready to work on them all over the rest of the day.

Next, he plans to expand the range of songs to listen to, and then slowly select some songs to fill in, and finally form his own music library with a total number of about 20 to 30 songs.

Only then can he talk about finding a place to be a resident singer.

Undoubtedly, this is not something that can be rushed.

Because...... It's hard to choose a song.

Those familiar songs in the previous life, including those written by himself, he is not ready to take them out in this period, the prevention of plagiarism is one, the most important thing is that he knows that some key bars, there is no band, no fame can not get in, but he himself has no plans to form a band at present. Therefore, in the future, he can only choose some downstream bars and some mid-range restaurants to perform, and if he performs in these places, singing some well-known songs is a must.

Of course, familiar songs must be sung with a little new meaning.

But the problem is that it is not easy to choose songs that meet your appetite and can be grasped by yourself among those songs in this world.

According to the gradual in-depth understanding these days, Li Qian has roughly understood the current situation of the domestic music market.

Because the reform and opening up of this time and space was much earlier than the time and space that Li Qian had experienced, the domestic music market has also undergone many changes.

At present, the mainstream of the domestic music market is no longer the folk songs and opera singing segments of the early years, and even the status of rock and roll has declined a lot. Pop love songs, campus ballads, personal feelings, sweet songs, including electronic music and other sub-categories, have already appeared their own representatives and masterpieces, they are the same as national folk songs, opera records, rock and roll, have begun to prosper, and even some R&B genres have begun to appear.

It can be said that the whole market is moving towards a hundred flowers step by step.

From this point of view, the domestic music of this time and space is much more developed than the domestic music of 1995 in the time and space that I have experienced.

But here's the problem...... This is, after all, 1995.

Times are advancing, and so is music.

There are not many songs that can really be a smash hit and can be sung and loved for decades since. In the previous life that Li Qian experienced, including the music of Baodao and Xiangjiang, the works of the entire Chinese music circle combined, how many songs are still considered classics in the second decade of the 21st century?

How many songs are there that were once popular all over the country and loved them very much, but when I listen to them a few years or more than ten years later, my first reaction is: This song is really earthy and outdated!

Therefore, after experiencing the influence of the more mature and more diverse music development in the previous life, Li Qian has always been unable to find a favorite feeling for many songs that are popular with listeners in the current era.

Even, Li Qian was ready to go back to Wang Jinglu to ask for a song list.

Maybe she can recommend some good songs?

The sisters are professionals!

After practicing "Love Me or Not" six or seven times in one breath, and initially found some feelings, Li Qian stopped drinking water, rested for a while, and then turned the next page of his "Acting Herbs".

…………

After school, Qi Jie stayed in the office as usual and did not leave.

She opened her notebook and found the book she hadn't read at all yesterday, and she was about to read it, when she suddenly heard a familiar guitar sound.

Yes, a few floors away, when the sound of the guitar reached the office, the sound was really small and ethereal, if it weren't for the extremely quiet environment, if you weren't careful, you might not even be able to hear it. But Qi Jie heard it the first time - it was just a simple pluck, not even a tune!

Hula, she stood up with a look of surprise.

Without the slightest hesitation, she closed her notebook with a "snap" and walked out the door.

Still in the same place, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the steps, and sat down carefully.

After sitting down, she wanted to laugh a little.

"What's the matter?" she asked herself, "as if I couldn't hear him sing for a day, and felt that a big piece of the day was missing......!

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but joke to herself in her heart, "Probably those ladies and ladies in the past, that's how they enjoyed it? Singing by a special person and face-to-face! This is much more advanced than listening to tapes and listening to cD! It's just that people who sing don't know that there are more people eavesdropping......"

Today, the guitar on the roof of the building was played a little messily and a little jerky, and it was played for seven or eight minutes in a row, and then the singing began to cut in, and after only listening to a few words, Qi Jie recognized that it was "Love Me or Not".

For Qi Jie, who is accustomed to sitting here every day and listening to songs for half an hour, and has listened to them at least a dozen times before and after, she suddenly felt a little excited when she heard a song she was familiar with - you know, she had heard more than thirty songs sung by the people upstairs before this, but none of them were heard by herself, which made her almost wonder if she had been eliminated by this era.

However, this excitement only lasted for a short minute or two.

It is undeniable that although it sounds like he is really just practicing, and he is a little unfamiliar with the songs and guitar chords, in short, he feels that it is not very smooth, but he still sings very well.

Qi Jie doesn't understand music, but she thinks that the voice of the person upstairs should be very good, and he is very good at using his own voice, high-pitched, low-pitched, true and falsetto, all of which are effortless, and he is completely in a comfortable posture. And when you listen to him sing, you can easily feel the right amount of affection for the song, for every note.

His voice, his feelings, his interpretation, together make his songs beautiful.

Although Zhuyu is in front of him, Huang Yuqing's original singing is already very good, but listening to him sing, you will still feel very good.

Or rather, it's something else.

But that's about it.

Qi Jie had long been accustomed to hearing completely different songs every day, and she had never heard them before. In particular, those songs are still so good! Now I suddenly changed my familiarity, and as soon as the freshness passed, I was inexplicably a little dissatisfied!

Moreover, the song "Love Me or Not", he sang it seven or eight times!

Repeated practice!

If it weren't for the fact that he was just "eavesdropping", Qi Jie almost couldn't help but want to shout to the people upstairs at this time, "Hey, change the song, change the song! I want to listen to the songs you sang before!"

Or - "Refund the ticket!"

Thinking of this, Qi Jie couldn't help but want to laugh out loud at first.

Covering her mouth tightly, she was so hung that she could hold back her laughter, but she still blushed from that smile.

Every time she listened to him sing, Qi Jie always felt as if she was suddenly younger, and suddenly returned to those carefree youth years - despite the fact that she was still young now!

Stopping her laughter, she sat honestly in place, raising her hand to support herself, patiently awaiting the next song from the person upstairs.

Finally, the upstairs people really changed the song, but this time, it was ...... "I Love You, Hometown".

It's another song I've heard and is still very familiar!

"It's boring today!"

Qi Jie, who had already had a bad appetite, could only shake her head helplessly, and she couldn't accept it in her heart.

Of course, he still sings very well, compared with the original song, the rhythm has changed to a certain extent, it doesn't look like a folk song anymore, and there seems to be a very strange but interesting melody added, which makes the whole song suddenly change its face and be full of fun.

In short, it's a novelty.

So much so that the novelty made Qi Jie can't help but have the idea of "it turns out that this song can still be sung like this".

It was this sense of novelty that made her patiently listen to him sing three times in a row.

And then—

"I can't stand it, today is really perfunctory, quit!"

She sneered in her heart, but with a light smile on her face, she cautiously went downstairs.

The most important thing is that it seems that he did not succeed in his pursuit of girls!

Is this a good thing?

That's a good thing!

Because you can continue to listen to songs in the future!

"I don't believe he'll sing this all I heard every day!" she thought.

…………

Today's songs are very raw, and the practice time is a little longer unconsciously. By the time Li Qian returned home, it was almost dark, and the meals prepared by Li's mother had already begun to get cold.

Waiting for Li Qian to take a bath, Li's mother reheated the meal and served it on the table, and the family had dinner.

After dinner, Li's mother didn't care about washing the dishes, so she soaked the dishes and chopsticks in the sink first, washed her hands and sat down to watch TV dramas, while Li's father went to his study to sit for a while, and then ran to Li Qian's bedroom door and knocked on the door.

Pushing the door in, he saw that Li Qian was really serious about reviewing his homework, and it was still his worst Russian language, and his face suddenly showed a smile of relief and satisfaction.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Li Qian asked.

Dad Li said, "That, nothing else, just come and see what you're doing!"

Li Qian pouted, "No, we have agreed on the conditions, and we still need supervision?"

Dad Li glanced at him disdainfully, "Supervise you?" Che, you have been in school for so many years, and your grades have been good or bad, when did Dad supervise you?"

"That's right!" Li Qian thought for a while and said, "So...... What's the matter?"

Dad Li paused and asked, "That, Xiaoqian, do you have any other works recently?"

Li Qian frowned, and said in confusion: "New work, isn't it, Dad, aren't you against me making this?"

Hearing this, Dad Li hurriedly waved his hand and explained very seriously: "Dad is not against you making music, Dad is just against you taking music as your main business...... You like to write songs, lyrics, or whatever, Dad is still very supportive! Well, like the lyrics of your last song, it's "Dark Fragrance," and that word is okay! You're a high school student, only 17 years old, and it's good to be able to write that kind of artistic conception! Since you're good at this and like this, you have to continue to work hard!

Li Qian patted his eyebrows: Yes, I understand now!

What Dad means is that lyrics are just another form of poetry, and you can write more about this!

He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I'm afraid you won't be too interested in those songs I wrote." ”

Dad Li's eyes lit up and said, "That's not necessarily, let's hear it." ”

Li Qian hesitated, grabbed an exercise book, flipped to the back, tore off a blank piece of paper, took a pen and wanted to write, but stopped there. After hesitating for a moment, he put down his pen, turned around and said, "Dad, I'll sing it to you, right?"

Hearing this, Dad Li nodded and said "Okay", and then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Li Qian took the guitar, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, with some apprehension, with some hope, gently plucked the strings-

"From tomorrow, be a happy person,

Feed the horses, chop wood, travel the world,

From tomorrow, care for grain and vegetables,

I have a house facing the sea and spring is blooming.

From tomorrow onwards, I will correspond with every loved one,

Tell them about my happiness,

The blissful lightning told me,

I'm going to tell everybody.

Give every river and every mountain a warm name,

Stranger, I bless you,

May you have a bright future,

May you have a lover and eventually become married,

May you be blessed on earth,

I just want to face the sea and bloom in spring.

……”

Crisp guitars, melodies and beautiful singing.

Beautiful psalms.

Li Qian sang very seriously, very seriously, very seriously, very emotionally, very emotionally.

After the whole song was sung, he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

This is, of course, Haizi's poem.

This is, of course, one of Li Qian's favorite poems.

In the previous life that Li Qian experienced, this poem had a very high status in the hearts of their generation. There are 99 bands and singers in the underground music circle who composed music for it, if not a hundred. But in the end, none of the works can reach a relatively mature level, not even through the producer's level. Therefore, there are many underground works that have been produced for the composition of this poem, but not even one of them can really go to the market in the end.

Among those dozens or hundreds of songs that may never see the light of day "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", there is one song whose composer is called Li Qian.

It was his work in his twenties.

What he sang was a dream of his previous life.

But after singing, he closed his eyes for a long time, and then, he suddenly opened his eyes, quickly put down the guitar, didn't look at Dad Li's expression, just hurriedly picked up the paper and pen he had just prepared, and said, "Dad, I want to change it, you wait." ”

Dad Li was stunned and came back to his senses, "Oh, okay, you change, you change, Dad waits!"

Li Qian took the pen and quickly drew the simplest stave on the white paper, and then quickly wrote the score - just now, in the middle of the song, he suddenly had some other ideas.

Then, like a fountain, when the first clear spring water gushes out, it is no longer under anyone's control, it gushes out, and it blinks into a river!

A young man in his twenties, with a great love for rock and roll, with a great love for this poem, wrote a smug tune after fighting all night, but at that time, what he had in his heart was nothing but enthusiasm, only enthusiasm!

Like a fire, it's enough to burn all the passion!

That's the love of rock and roll!

However, facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming...... That's not how it is sung!

It can rock and roll, it can be lyrical, but it can't be grumpy, it can't be violent!

It should be like a river, gurgling, it should be like a lake, the water is wrinkling, it should be a childlike heart, pure, transparent, it should be the color of a flower-filled hillside as bright as a dream, the color of a simple sea as clear as a dream......

Pure joy, transparent kindness, dream-like yearning......

…………

I don't know how long it has passed, Li Qian worked hard to write, and Li's father sat there, not moving.

When Li Qian let out a long breath and turned around, Dad Li's face was full of solemn colors.

"Changed?" he asked.

Li Qian nodded and said, "It's changed!"

Then, he picked up his guitar, looked back at the score, and gently plucked the strings.

The melody is simple, simple to the point of having only a few basic grooves, but surprisingly tactful and bright.

Li Qian opened his eyes, smiled, sang, laughed, and shook his body.

But this time, it was Dad Li who closed his eyes.

The first time I sang it, the new score, a little stumbling, but overall smooth.

The guitar fell, and Dad Li took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

He reached out and groped in a few pockets, but he didn't touch the cigarette, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." ", he said.

He nodded slowly.

Well.

The simplest syllable, one word, but when he said this word, his face was solemn, as if he was facing something extremely serious, extremely important, and even made him a little nervous.

For a long time, Li Qian just looked at him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse, "The second time this is better than the first time!"

Li Qian nodded and smiled.

Dad Li also wanted to laugh, but in the end, he didn't laugh.

"Nice work...... What's the name?"

"It's called 'Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms'!" Li Qian said.

Dad Li nodded and said "um" again.

Then, with his head down, he sat motionless, as if in a daze, and as if in deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, said "um", then stood up, wanted to leave, stopped again, took two steps, he grabbed the doorknob in his hand, turned his back to Li Qian, and said, "Go back and copy a copy of the lyrics to me." You should write more about works like this...... Well, don't forget to study. ”

Then, he stood in the doorway for a moment, and finally stepped out and closed it gently.
