Chapter 15: Loneliness is singing
Although they ate a lot at noon, they could practice for more than five hours, which was not only a double test of physical strength and energy for Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran, but also Ning Xiupei and Chen Yushan, who had been standing, were not easy, and when they came out of the piano room, everyone was hungry.
Xiao Yuran became lively again, and said that he was going to have a good meal, but Qin Fangge said that it would be good to eat some stir-fry and fill his stomach early. In the end, I chose the Sichuan restaurant I often went to next to the piano room to taste the taste of my hometown. During the meal, Ning Xiupei also taught his son that he should be elegant in eating, he could no longer gobble up like before, and he had to have the temperament of an artist, and everyone laughed.
In the end, Chen Yushan rushed to treat her, saying that she had been here for the longest time, and let her fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Xiao Yuran didn't rob her, so she said that she would invite her tomorrow, and everyone would take turns. Qin Fangge laughed at the two of them for suffering a big loss, because he could beat the two of them alone, but the two girls didn't mind, and they both smiled.
Ning Xiupei didn't rush back to the hotel, and they went back to the place where they lived after eating.
Chen Yushan rested tonight, she printed out all the songs on Qin Fangge's computer in the afternoon, and discussed with Ning Xiupei on the way, in order to avoid trouble in the future, she will register together tomorrow, she is very familiar with Yanjing and can lead the way.
Ning Xiupei was a little worried about Qin Fangge's exam, but he said that it was okay, just let them go, it was not interesting to wait outside, but he wanted to trouble Chen Yushan again.
Chen Yushan smiled and said that it was not troublesome, anyway, she didn't have much to do during the day.
Then talking about going to the bar discussed during the day, Xiao Yuran suddenly became happy and said in a joty voice, with Ning Xiupei here, she didn't have to worry so much to play boldly.
After going back, Xiao Yuran went back to his room to listen to the afternoon recording, planning to have a good aftertaste, ponder carefully, and strive to perform better when he goes to the piano room tomorrow.
After Chen Yushan helped Qin Fangge and them deliver the things, she also wanted to say goodbye and go back to the room. Ning Xiupei stopped her and carefully asked her about her current job and the bar where she was going to drink. I didn't ask too clearly in the morning, but now I have the opportunity to figure it out so that I can go with confidence.
Chen Yushan also sat down, to tell the truth, she ran in many bars and went to many bars. Indeed, there are many bars in Yanjing, there are thousands of large and small, and there are many kinds, some are particularly noisy and rock, some are very chaotic, and there are many messy ones, but there are also good bars, such as the one who gives her the best feeling.
The patrons here genuinely appreciate music and respect the singers, and their peers are happy to sing here, even if the income is not the highest in Yanjing Bars.
This is related to the business philosophy of Zuo Mengfeng, the boss of the wine, who used to be a famous music producer in the circle, but unfortunately now the behind-the-scenes production of music is becoming more and more difficult to mix, and the income is low, and he can't make money like a singer. Now everyone is thinking about making money, and there are not many people who are really willing to make music seriously, although he has not completely given up music, but he also has to support his family. He opened this bar and maintained his music philosophy, hoping to give more people opportunities through this platform.
Of course, Zuo Mengfeng's requirements for long-term singers in the bar are also quite high, and it goes without saying that they need to have very high singing skills, if you don't have any strength, customers won't buy it! Chen Yushan has been born in elementary school music and is a serious class at the Southwest Conservatory of Music, and she has her own unique hoarse and sexy voice, which is not mainstream, but it is quite comfortable to hear. She was also very proud when she said it, and she felt that she could sing in the wine for a long time, and she was also quite face-saving among her peers.
It's just that Chen Yushan also understands that it is not so easy to take another step. She is not particularly beautiful, and she is not the top among the singers in Beipiao. The most important thing is that she doesn't have her own songs, the songs she wrote, she can't get her hands on them, and she doesn't have much money to ask famous artists to write songs for her, no matter how good her singing skills are, there are many bar singers who are still waiting for people to discover her good singing skills and outstanding appearance!
In Chen Yushan's own words, in the pop music circle, I feel that wanting to become famous is like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and most people are destined to be unknown for a lifetime.
She said that she envied Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran, it was her own sincerity, her current work, even the parents at home didn't understand it very well, but they were helpless, they were worried about what to do if she couldn't sing when she was old, and they couldn't give her substantial help. Chen Yushan herself is also very confused about where the future is, although her original purpose is actually just to sing well.
Ning Xiupei has been listening to her carefully, asking a few words from time to time, she naturally understands this truth, the road to fame is not easy. is also to sing at the conservatory of music, Qin Fang sings to learn bel canto, even if he can't become a singer in the end, it is not a problem to be a music teacher.
Qin Fangge, this guy is not so well-educated, when Chen Yushan was complaining, he crackled the computer keyboard, Ning Xiupei glared at him and pretended not to see it, so she had to ignore him.
When Chen Yushan stopped the topic and discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Ning Xiupei, when she was about to retreat back to the room, Qin Fangge, who had been typing on the computer next to her and didn't speak, stopped her, "Sister Chen, wait......"
"Well, is there anything else you need help with......" Not only Chen Yushan, but even Ning Xiupei was a little curious about what he wanted to do.
"I just wrote a song, you see, if it's appropriate, you can sing it. In these days in Yanjing, you are taking care of us, and you don't even have any gifts for you. Qin Fangge turned the computer and handed it to her.
Chen Yushan is also an experienced person in the mixed society for two years, but this time, the pie in the sky smashed on her head made her a little confused for a while, and she didn't seem to believe her ears, and excitedly wanted to confirm again, "The song you specially wrote for me?"
Qin Fangge smiled brightly, "I wrote it as soon as the inspiration came, Sister Chen, you take a look first, if there is anything inappropriate, I will change it." ”
"The songs you write are sure to be good, but there's only so much I can give you...... Thank you!" After listening to his confirmation, Chen Yushan looked a little at a loss, and her eyes moistened unconsciously.
Qin Fangge smiled, "Speaking of that, Sister Chen is willing to sing, just to give me face." I still want Sister Chen to help me spread the word so that I can increase my worth! After all, I am still a newcomer. ”
"......" Chen Yushan was so moved that tears welled up, she didn't know what to say, she had been mixed for so many years, and no one took the initiative to write songs for her, and she couldn't go to someone's door. She also knew that Qin Fangge was comforting her, and the quality of the songs he wrote was very clear in the hearts of several people.
Although Ning Xiupei was a little blamed, she also said at this time, "Let's see how the song is first, Shanshan should have no problem reading music!"
Chen Yushan hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe her tears and said, "It's okay to read music, but Qin Fangge should know better, after all, he is the author." ”
"If you can, Sister Chen will work hard, and sing this song when you go to the bar tomorrow, and I will help you accompany you when the time comes!" Qin Fangge still kept a smile.
Chen Yushan's tears that had just been wiped away fell out again, and she choked up and said, "Thank you......"
She was still very emotional, Ning Xiupei looked at the computer first, and the name of the song felt very interesting, "Lonely is Singing". But she soon froze, because the song he wrote even had English lyrics. Looking back at him, he looked very calm, so she didn't say much and continued to watch.
After Chen Yushan cleaned up her mood, she also enjoyed the song he had just written with her.
The two of them occupied the computer and didn't speak, Qin Fangge had nothing to do, so he picked up the guitar and played this sad song.
In another world, the song "Lonely Singing" sung by Ahsan is a cover of "Moonlight Flower" by Michael Cretu, the godfather of German Newage music and the soul of ENIGMA. In addition to Ah San's re-lyrics and cover into "Lonely Singing", there are also covers by Qi Yu and others, which are translated into Chinese as "Moonlight Flower" or "Moon Flower".
The earliest version he listened to before was "Lonely Singing", which was sung the most in China, and he had a preconceived impression, but he learned later that it was a cover, and he felt that the English version was more classic and the lyrics were more charming.
And after a little struggle, he made a difficult decision to put the original English version in.
What he thought was that Ahsan's version of "Lonely Singing" added a French monologue to the prelude, and he felt that this adaptation was a good idea, but he did not plan to use it directly, but planned to use the original English lyrics as part of the prelude, and the rest as the harmony of the Chinese lyrics, which felt feasible.
He plans to see the audience's reaction, and if the response is not good, he will directly split it into Chinese and English versions, and it will not take much trouble.
It is indeed interesting, after Chen Yushan watched it, although it was not the same as seeing a ghost, but it felt similar, she only felt that Qin Fangge was simply too demonic! But at this time, she didn't have time to think about it, the beautiful melody attracted her to continue reading, and she couldn't help but hum softly along with the score and the guitar played by Qin Fangge.
With Chen Yushan's experience for so many years, of course, she knows whether a song is a good song or not. The melody and English part of the song in front of her are not mentioned for the time being, and the Chinese lyrics alone seem to be written into the bottom of her heart. The loneliness that is everywhere and hovers in people's hearts all the time, she sings, and what she sings is not the silent loneliness.
"Really for me?" Chen Yushan looked at it carefully, and after humming softly, she still felt like she was dreaming, and the whole person was a little fluttery.
"Let's do it again, I sing English and you sing Chinese, I mark it very clearly, tomorrow night on stage, Sister Chen has to come on!" Qin Fangge didn't want to talk to her about this more, and after explaining a few words, he began to play the guitar for the second time and sang in English, but he sang very softly, really just as a supporting role.
His words have been said very clearly, Chen Yushan was moved, but she didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly concentrated to keep up with his rhythm, if she sang badly, it would make him look down on him.
Fortunately, the melody of the main song chorus is repeated quite a lot, and Qin Fangge is the lead singer, so she can use it as a reference first.
Chen Yushan's skills in reading music and singing are also quite good, it stands to reason that the problem should not be big, but when it is carried out, the situation is not the case, when she really sings, she feels that there are stumbles everywhere, after all, it is a new song, and she is not the kind of real genius.
Qin Fangge was also ruthless, he didn't stop waiting for her at all, and when a song came down, Chen Yushan began to sweat all over, and the pressure on her body was too great.
"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the lyrics and melody yet. Knowing that his time was precious, Chen Yushan hurriedly apologized.
Qin Fangge said with a smile, "It's already quite good to have such an effect for the first time." I believe that Sister Chen's ability will definitely be able to sing this song well. ”
Chen Yushan immediately nodded, "Just give me more time." ”
Ning Xiupei next to her helped, and proposed, "This is a song you wrote yourself, and you have a deeper understanding of the song, or you sing it in its entirety first, and Shanshan recorded it with her mobile phone as a reference." ”
Chen Yushan hurriedly thanked Aunt Ning, and nodded when she saw Qin Fangge, so she took out her mobile phone to record.
After Qin Fangge was ready, she performed Chinese completely with the guitar. Although he is learning bel canto, with his current ability, if he wants to sing this popular song well, there is still no problem.
For Ning Xiupei, who was watching, he was more than ten million times better than Chen Yushan's stumbling singing before. The pride and pride in her heart also came spontaneously, but the style of this song was more sad, and when Qin Fang sang and sang, he incorporated his own understanding of the feelings, which made her feel a little sentimental. In comparison, when he only sang English before, it was much better, not as sad as now, and a little more strong and cheerful.
Chen Yushan knew that this was perhaps the most important opportunity of her life, in addition to being nervous and excited, to concentrate more to listen, understand, appreciate, and feel the infinite charm of his singing.
After listening to this, Ning Xiupei still felt a little unpleasant, and directly ordered, "If you make this English, you can sing it directly into the English version! ”
"Mother's order, how dare you disobey. Qin Fangge chuckled, it seemed that his state of mind was not affected by the lyrics at all, and after the song was over, he returned to normal again.
But Chen Yushan can't, she has been immersed in the sad, sad, helpless, and hesitant atmosphere he created just now, and her mood fluctuates with the rhythm of the march.
After Qin Fangge sang the full English version again, this feeling in Chen Yushan's heart became stronger and stronger, feeling that he was really a song created for her, and he simply sang it to the deepest part of her soul.
"Can I take it back and practice first?" Chen Yushan said slowly after being immersed for a while.
She is also self-aware, and plans to go back to the room to experience it quietly for a while, if she wants to sing it now, it will definitely be a shame. Anyway, she was already very embarrassed just now, compared to what Qin Fang sang, what the hell was she singing.
Ning Xiupei made the decision for her son, "Of course you can, take it back and copy it, you can deepen your understanding, we don't need a computer for the time being." ”
Chen Yushan bowed again and thanked her, and Ning Xiupei smiled kindly, "Don't be so polite, sing well! ”
Qin Fangge also smiled, "Don't put so much pressure on Sister Chen, relax, understand with your heart, add your own feelings, and sing it with emotion." ”
Ning Xiupei laughed and scolded him for talking nonsense, could she still not know this truth?
Chen Yushan nodded again and again, saying that he was right, it is easier said than done, and if he can really do it, he will be a very powerful singer. Then, she went back to his room with his computer and said that she would send it back to him later.
