When Zhuang Yan returned home, Chen Jiaqing was already at home, and she was sitting on the sofa holding a guitar and fiddling.

"Newly bought?" Zhuang Yan asked curiously.

Chen Jiaqing raised his head and smiled: "Well, I bought it newly, I'm going to get an accompaniment for your song." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, and asked again, "Is it expensive?"

"Cheap. Chen Jiaqing said.

Zhuang Yan didn't know much about the guitar, and it was impossible to tell whether the guitar was good or bad at a glance, so he smiled and prepared to go in and put the book down.

Chen Jiaqing had already seen the book in his hand and asked him, "Did you go out to buy books?"

"Well, I went out for a walk and bought a book by the way. Zhuang Yan nodded, he didn't say that this was his own book.

Chen Jiaqing glanced at the black cover, but didn't see the title of the book on it, she wasn't too interested in literature, so she didn't ask much, Zhuang Yan took the book into the room when she saw this, put the book and walked to the living room.

Chen Jiaqing had a piece of paper and a notebook in front of her, the paper was the lyrics she copied before, and the notebook was a six-line music book with a guitar with chords, on which a lot of notes had been memorized, and it seemed that Chen Jiaqing had just picked up the score.

"How's it going?" Zhuang Yan sat down next to him and asked.

Chen Jiaqing frowned and shook his head: "The melody is good, but I want to add something to it, but it doesn't feel appropriate, especially the prelude, I tried several materials, but it didn't feel good." ”

Zhuang Yan didn't know much about these musical things, but after all, he had heard the original version, and the prelude of the original version was very good, he tried to think about it, and then hummed.

When Chen Jiaqing heard him hum, he took his attention off the guitar and listened to Zhuang Yan intently.

Zhuang Yan originally thought that he was very familiar with that prelude, but when he started to hum, he found that he couldn't hum that feeling at all, not only was there a lot of notes missing in the middle, but even the notes he hummed were basically rarely in tune.

I tried to hum twice, but the humming became more and more chaotic, Zhuang Yan touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem, I still don't hum." ”

Chen Jiaqing smiled, "Actually, what you hum is quite novel, but it's a little messy, and the tone is too flat." ”

It's really flat, this is something that can't be helped, it's hard to hum that prelude, and Zhuang Yan's vocal range is narrow, so he can't finish it at all.

After Chen Jiaqing said that, she put her mind on the guitar in her hand again, and plucked the strings a few times, but it didn't feel right no matter how she played, and she sighed after playing for a while: "It's a pity that there is only one guitar, if only there was an electronic synthesizer." I think it's pretty good to add a piano paragraph to your song. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, indeed, the prelude of the original song is mainly used on the piano, with a strong Russian style, there is a sense of mystery, Zhuang Yan heard the feeling at that time is that I don't know where a stream of clear water suddenly flowed, slowly flowing in front of him.

He searched in his mind for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "How about adding a June boat song?"

"June Boat Song?" Chen Jiaqing's eyes lit up, and she seemed to think that Zhuang Yan's proposal was very good, but then her eyes turned gray, and she shook her head: "No, this song is still in the copyright protection period, if we want to use it, we must give money." Also, I just have a guitar right now, and I can't play it. ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the era he was in was different. He searched his mind for fragments of the memories of his predecessor and found that the universal copyright convention had been published in advance, and it was similar to the previous one, and it was protected until fifty years after the author's death.

He didn't know when Tchaikovsky died, he didn't listen to classical music much in his life and in his life, and the piano music he knew was basically bad street music, such as "To Alice", "Canon", and "Moonlight".

In later generations, these songs are basically individuals, even if they don't know the name of the song, they should have heard it, especially the song "To Alice", at the beginning of the 21st century, most of the liquefied gas trucks played this song all the way, and later, the people in the village only need to hear this song to know that the liquefied gas is coming.

In this way, a good classical piano piece has become a brainwashing divine comedy on the rotten street.

And the "June Boat Song" he just told Chen Jiaqing is one of Tchaikovsky's works "Four Seasons", and the other eleven Zhuang Yan in "Four Seasons" have never heard of it, and the reason why he heard this one is because he has seen a movie before, this movie is called "Daisy", which was made by director Xiangjiang and several Korean stars.

There are many tunes from "June Boat Song" in this movie, which is very impressive.

Later, Jay Chou's song "Piano Injury" was a direct adaptation of "Boat Song", which deepened his impression.

And the reason why he said this tune, of course, was not because of how many ideas he had, but because of the version sung by the original singer Li Jian at a certain concert, the prelude was "Boat Song".

Since "Boat Song" is within the protection period, Zhuang Yan didn't say anything more. In fact, giving copyright fees is a small matter, and Zhuang Yan doesn't care too much, but it's just an idea, and he can't make a hurry to settle it now.

In fact, Zhuang Yan felt that this arrangement could be handed over to some other professionals, and he could just give the money himself, but he saw that Chen Jiaqing was very attentive, so he didn't say his thoughts to dampen her enthusiasm.

Get it for her, it's really not good, and in the end, it's not impossible to find a studio to help arrange a song.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan stood up with a smile: "Okay, I don't know much about music, you are here, I will go in and work." ”

Chen Jiaqing nodded, she was still thinking about what Zhuang Yan said just now, "June Boat Song" gave her some inspiration, this kind of very Russian-style piano music is indeed very suitable for the prelude to "Baikal", she silently thought about other Russian-style tunes she knew, and slowly found inspiration from the middle.

However, she looked at the guitar in her hand, a little frustrated, the limitations of writing songs with the guitar are still too great, and songs like "June Boat Song" are not impossible to play with guitar fingers, but first, the difficulty is really high, and second, this kind of piano music is played with the guitar, which feels a little worse.

It would be nice to have an electronic synthesizer, but the electronic synthesizer has only been invented for a few years, and the price is generally relatively high, even if it is a relatively cheap electronic synthesizer, it costs thousands of dollars, and she is reluctant to buy it.

"Maybe you could use the synthesizer in the bar. Chen Jiaqing muttered to herself, she had already hit the idea on the electronic synthesizer in the bar.
