Chapter 52: In Your Arms
Zhuang Yan stayed in the study except for lunch until Chen Jiaqing called him when dinner was ready, and he stretched out of the study to lazy himself.
He has been writing "Shuke and Beta" in his study, and up to now, Zhuang Yan has written more than 50 chapters and more than 100,000 words in this book, which is not fast, but it is definitely not slow.
Dinner was hearty, with two vegetarian dishes, braised pork ribs, and a pot of chicken soup. Zhuang Yan really needs to supplement nutrition, so he didn't say anything polite to Chen Jiaqing, but while enjoying the food, he was also thinking that he couldn't give all the food shopping to Chen Jiaqing in the future, and he should also share some of it, and it was not a matter if there was a lack of a refrigerator at home, and he would have to buy a refrigerator back when he went back.
After dinner, Chen Jiaqing asked Xiaoying to go to the room to do her homework, and she pulled Zhuang Yan and asked him, "Is your copyright certificate down?"
Zhuang Yan really didn't know if he had come down, so he ran to the study and turned on the computer to take a look, when he saw the copyright electronic certificate issued to her by the website, he returned to the living room and said to Chen Jiaqing: "The electronic certificate has come down, and the paper certificate is estimated to arrive in two days, what, are you useful?"
Chen Jiaqing said with a smile: "Just pass it, I want to sing "Baikal Shore" in the bar tonight, if the copyright has not come down, I will not sing it first, so as not to cause trouble." ”
In fact, after they submitted the application, they have already left a message on the website, and they can sing in the open arena, if it involves a copyright dispute, just find out the time they submitted the application from the website.
However, Chen Jiaqing also kept an eye on it, if they made a mistake that day, or there was a problem with the website, and their application was not really submitted, if she sang the song in the public and was preemptively applied for again on the website by someone who cared about it, it would be regretted.
Therefore, Chen Jiaqing's approach is also safe, just in case.
Zhuang Yan heard her say that she was going to sing in the bar, so he asked her curiously, "Have you made up the tune?"
Chen Jiaqing nodded: "It's made up, but it's very simple, just add some guitar chords, do you want to listen to it?"
Zhuang Yan smiled and nodded, he used to write in the study, the sound insulation of the room door was good, and he also wore headphones, so I really don't know how the accompaniment that Chen Jiaqing made up.
Chen Jiaqing saw him nodding, picked up the guitar and started playing.
The intro is a very soothing finger play, although it is very different from the original prelude, but it also sounds very comfortable, and it fits the song "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", as for the chords in the middle are very ordinary, it sounds okay, but it feels like something is missing.
But overall, Chen Jiaqing's accompaniment is still qualified, no matter what, it is much better than a cappella.
After playing the accompaniment for a while, Chen Jiaqing began to sing.
"In your arms, in my eyes......"
Hearing the first sentence, Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, the lyrics here were originally "In my arms, in your eyes", but she changed it and became "In your arms, in my eyes".
Zhuang Yan immediately guessed why she changed it like this, although it was just a simple exchange of two words, but the artistic conception was suddenly different.
With just two sentences, you can tell whether this song is a boy's song or a girl's song. In the stereotypical impression of male and female characters, it is clear that "in your arms, in my eyes" is more like the expression of a female character.
Zhuang Yan silently gave her a thumbs up, from this point of view, it shows that Chen Jiaqing's language feeling is still good. But he couldn't think about it too much, Chen Jiaqing's slightly hoarse voice attracted him.
This is the second time Zhuang Yan has heard Chen Jiaqing sing, the last time she sang in the bar was a rock song "Free Flying", that Zhuang Yan didn't have any special feelings, but this time, Zhuang Yan listened to it with his eyes narrowed, because her voice was very similar to a singer in the previous life.
Her hoarseness is not as obvious as Tanya Tsai and Huang Xiaohu, there is a feeling of nothingness, relatively speaking, it is clearer, and her voice is more like Ahsan's voice.
Faintly hoarse, sometimes there is, sometimes not, if she is asked to sing "Leaves" or "Always Quiet", it must be very good.
However, Zhuang Yan doesn't know much about these two songs, and at most he can sing a chorus.
Chen Jiaqing is still singing, she raised the tone a little on the basis of Zhuang Yan, as for how much it has risen, Zhuang Yan's ear voice is not good, I can't hear it, he sings by himself by feeling, otherwise it won't be KTV level.
It is certain that it will not reach the level of the original singing, but it is also very distinctive, Zhuang Yan has also heard the female version of "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", including Tan Jing and Zhou Shen, who he listened to in his previous life, both of whom are very clear female voices.
And it was the first time he had heard Chen Jiaqing sing "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" with a slightly hoarse voice, so I won't say whether it sounds good or not, but at least it is very special.
"You are clear and mysterious, like the shores of Lake Baikal...... You are clear and mysterious, like a Baikal ......"
At the end of the song, Chen Jiaqing looked at Zhuang Yan expectantly: "How is it, is it okay?"
"Yes, much better than me. "Zhuang Yan is telling the truth, and he is indeed much better than him.
Chen Jiaqing was not satisfied with his answer, and asked again: "I'm not asking how the singing is, I'm asking how my accompaniment is, is it worthy of this song?"
"I think it's pretty good. Zhuang Yan said.
After finishing speaking, he saw that Chen Jiaqing was a little disappointed, and he added: "I do think it's very good, I'm a layman, I can't hear what chord you just played, and I can rely on my feelings." ”
Hearing his words, Chen Jiaqing seemed to be in a better mood, but then sighed and said: "You, say that you are a layman, but you can write such a beautiful melody, if there are a few more laymen like you, then how should we who study music professionally live." ”
Zhuang Yan said in his heart, there was no layman like me before, and I didn't see you doing music, but he could think about it in his heart, of course he wouldn't say it.
In fact, sometimes Zhuang Yan is quite confused, although he doesn't know which conservatory Chen Jiaqing graduated from, but she looks at her level is not bad, and her singing is also very good, why should she go to the insurance company to be a personnel clerk?
She can open a music interest class and accept some children to learn music from her, so that she can earn more money than being a personnel clerk, and she is also interested, and she is also very free in time, and does not delay picking up Xiaoying to school.
But he was about to ask, but Chen Jiaqing had already put away the guitar and said, "I'm going to work." ”
Zhuang Yan nodded, watched her go out, and didn't ask what she wanted to ask.
