Chapter 8: Mother Arrives
While the two of them waited outside the conservatory, they didn't have anything to do, discussing the lyrics of the previous Hotel California song.
When covering classic foreign language songs, due to differences in language types, pronunciation and habits, direct translation often makes people feel weird, and most of them need to be re-filled.
His idea was to try to incorporate as much of the Beipiao's experience as possible in the basement of Yanjing, for which it was both heaven and hell. He himself still wants to grasp the overall direction of the lyrics, and he is also thinking about whether this is considered a cover of his own things, so that no one else has room for cover adaptation.
Although the literary brilliance of the two is not particularly outstanding, when they discuss, you and I are quite enthusiastic.
When Ning Xiupei arrived at the Conservatory, Qin Fangge and the two had been waiting for more than half an hour. The taxi stopped, Ning Xiupei got out of the car, and the two of them greeted him, Ning Xiupei greeted Xiao Yuran first, and smiled very kindly, "Xiaoyu, thank you for helping to take care of our family's uneasy Qin Fangge." ”
Xiao Yuran smiled generously, "Auntie is polite, he usually helps me, and it's rare for me to help him." ”
"Mom, I'm going to get my luggage. Qin Fangge shouted, although he still felt a little unaccustomed, but the screaming was still quite smooth, and his movements were not slow, he opened the back door of the taxi and helped take out the small suitcase on the car.
Ning Xiupei is forty-five or sixteen years old, about the same height as Xiao Yuran, with a tall nose, spiritual eyes, and traces of time on his face, but his facial features are coordinated and dignified, especially his temperament is intellectually mature. It is not difficult to see that she must have been a big beauty when she was young, and Qin Fangge inherited her physiognomy characteristics, especially her eyes and nose.
She was dressed quite exquisitely, with a dark blue down jacket with fluff on top, black slim trousers underneath, and a pair of brown boots on her feet.
Listening to his voice, it didn't completely return to normal, Ning Xiupei had been mentally prepared before he came, and he was so calm that he didn't ask too much, so he couldn't give him too much psychological pressure. After a few words of greeting, Qin Fangge said that he would send Ning Xiupei to the hotel to settle down before making plans.
Ning Xiupei originally wanted to go and see where they lived, but Qin Fangge didn't follow it, and said, "It's too late today, Mom, you're tired from traveling thousands of miles, it's better to settle down early and rest early, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow there will be time." Also, Xiaoyu has been with us for so long in the past two days, so we have to rest early and be mentally ready for tomorrow's exam. ”
Ning Xiupei didn't insist, she was very happy, and praised, "Look at you now, you are much more mature and sensible than before!"
Qin Fangge is not ashamed, "Men often grow up and mature overnight. ”
Xiao Yuran grinned.
"It's better to say than to sing. Ning Xiupei couldn't help laughing, she was still worried about his psychological state, and tried not to stimulate him, but she didn't expect that he was still quite well adjusted.
Ning Xiupei asked which hotel she booked again, Xiao Yuran knew the place, so she walked side by side with her, and then chatted with some homely words along the way. Ning Xiupei asked her where her home was in Rongcheng, how many brothers and sisters there were at home, what her parents were doing, and so on.
When Qin Fangge was following behind, he also interjected that Ning Xiupei was investigating the household registration, which made her glare.
Xiao Yuran did not shy away from answering one by one, she is the only daughter in the family, and her parents are both sitting in the office in the company, and she belongs to a family that is less than the top and more than the bottom.
Qin Fangge thanked his mother for helping him inquire, but Ning Xiupei blamed him again. She then cared about Xiao Yuran affectionately, because she was as pitiful as Qin Fangge, she couldn't go home during the Chinese New Year, and she must have suffered a lot to prepare for the art exam in a foreign land.
Xiao Yuran is very optimistic, "I call my parents every day...... There are friends like him here, learning and making progress together, and we can go to the conservatory to listen to concerts together, and Sister Chen also takes care of us, but it's nothing. ”
Ning Xiupei knew that she was preparing to take the piano department, this Qin Fangge had told her before, and said that Qin Fangge also learned piano, but the level was not so good, so she had to learn more from her.
Xiao Yuran said, "He's amazing! I don't think his piano level is as bad as mine." By the way, I don't know if he told his aunt if he didn't, he composed two new songs, which are going to be used to take this exam. ”
Ning Xiupei looked extremely surprised, "He writes and composes songs by himself?"
"Yes, Sister Chen and I have listened to it today, and it is quite good, no worse than the repertoire of those exams. Xiao Yuran nodded, and looked honored.
Ning Xiupei knew that she would definitely not lie to her on this, looking back at him, Qin Fangge smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It was also sudden, when I was lying in bed, I felt the pressure on my body doubled, and the music accumulation of the past ten years seemed to have all exploded, and I was inspired, so I wrote it in one go." ”
"You still have to have piano accompaniment to write it! If you sing a cappella, the expressiveness will still be greatly reduced. Ning Xiupei was pleasantly surprised, but still a little worried.
"Auntie, you don't have to worry! He also wrote all the piano accompaniment, and we rehearsed it in the piano room in the afternoon, and Sister Chen and I were quite satisfied. It's a pity that I forgot to bring the score, otherwise, my aunt would have been more at ease. "Xiao Yuran is a little too lively.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Ning Xiupei said this, but she still felt incredible in her heart. Based on her understanding of her son, since when did Qin Fangge's piano level improve by leaps and bounds, to the point where she can arrange music for a song.
Qin Fangge was cheeky, and did not forget to brag about herself while patting her ass, "It was my mother's strict requirements for me in the past, which made me have a very solid foundation for music, so that I have the result of accumulation now." It's a pity that I used to be ignorant, and I always made you angry, but now that I have grown up and matured, I understand your hard work from the bottom of my heart. Over the years, you have taught me tirelessly, and even quarreled with my father, just to let me avoid detours and become a talented person as soon as possible. Thank you for all this you have done for me! I will keep it in my heart and will never forget it. ”
He suddenly became sensational, threw out tear gas, and Ning Xiupei's eyes immediately moistened.
For Qin Fangge, she has really broken her heart over the years, in addition to the expenses of hard work to earn money for him to learn music and art, she has also quarreled with his father Qin Huakai for his affairs. At that time, he still had a rebellious mentality, and he did many things with them, including coming to Yanjing to apply for the Huaxia Conservatory of Music. She originally felt that it was more secure to apply for the Southwest Conservatory of Music, and his previous teachers were all from the Southwest Conservatory of Music, but at that time, Qin Fangge Zhonger was ignorant, and he only thought of going to a place without her.
She felt quite satisfied that he could have this mind now, and to be able to say such things, as if everything she had done for him in the past was worth it, and she choked up and said, "Okay, as long as you understand what we mean by being parents." ”
Xiao Yuran next to him was also deeply moved, almost every child who studied art had a similar experience. When she was a child learning the piano, when other children were playing happily outside, she had to sit in front of the piano every day to practice the piano and memorize the score. Later, I really fell in love with the piano, and I didn't feel that practicing the piano was a chore.
But Qin Fangge, this guy seemed to be addicted, and he refused to stop there, and said a lot of sensational words, which not only moved Ning Xiupei so much, but even Xiao Yuran next to him shed a lot of tears in vain.
Walking slowly all the way, and finally arrived at the Youai Hotel, Qin Fangge tried his best to show his mature and steady side, walked in front with his suitcase, talked to the receptionist at the front desk, and then helped settle his mother.
The room opened is room 402, fortunately, the art examination of the film and television academy has passed, otherwise you will definitely be able to find a hotel to live in here at this time.
After entering the room, Ning Xiupei took out a mobile phone from her shoulder bag and gave it to Qin Fangge, saying that she only bought it today, and it was also a smartphone, but the price was not expensive and less than a thousand yuan, which was not comparable to other people's, so let him understand.
Qin Fangge didn't mind, "As long as I can call, it's all my fault, if I am careful, I won't let my mother work so hard, and I will go to the bank to report the loss, and the mobile company will help me find the number." ”
Ning Xiupei said with a smile, "In the future, I should be more careful in everything." Besides, it's also my wish to come and see you, and I didn't go home for the New Year, and your father and I miss you very much. ”
When mother and son get together, there are a lot of things to say, and he copes with them well.
Then Ning Xiupei asked him how much he owed Xiao Yuran, and now he returned it to others, Xiao Yuran looked a little cramped, but Qin Fangge remembered the amount clearly, and directly asked Ning Xiupei to give her the money.
Ning Xiupei didn't delay them for too long, let him go back early to rest, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to take the exam. She also handed over the temporary ID card for him, and said that she believed that he would not get rid of it again, and Qin Fangge also promised not to make the same mistake.
After coming out of the hotel, Xiao Yuran cautiously asked him, "You won't blame me for talking too much!"
Qin Fangge smiled, "How is it possible, it's too late for me to thank you! It's really embarrassing for me to talk about it myself." ”
"I'm thinking about your songwriting, Auntie will know sooner or later. Instead of hiding it from her, it is better to say it sooner rather than later so that she can be reassured. Xiao Yuran continued to explain.
"You're more thoughtful than I am. Qin Fangge praised her.
Xiao Yuran laughed, "If you don't blame me, then let's pick up Auntie together tomorrow morning?"
"I'll just go by myself, you can sleep more. Qin Fangge objected.
Xiao Yuran insisted, "No, in fact, it's not good to sleep too much, and it will be better to wake up early." ”
"You don't have to get up too early, just a little early, it's too cold outside. By the way, if it's too crowded tomorrow morning, you can go to my mom's. Seeing this, Qin Fangge didn't persuade much, but there are still quite a lot of inconvenient places to live in the basement, especially in terms of washing, fortunately, such days are almost over.
Make an appointment with her to meet tomorrow morning, and then go back to the house to rest.
Qin Fangge felt that he still had a lot of energy, and he seemed to have a sense of fear of the bed, and only by trying his best to enrich himself would he not think so much about his past life that he couldn't go back to.
He turned on the CD player and listened to the piano CDs played by the masters, and read the books on music theory and other things to be examined, which were not much different from the knowledge of another world.
Single-mindedly, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for him now. When he was tired, he turned on the alarm clock and went to sleep.
