003. Kill a chicken with a knife
Before the crossing, Hawke also had a dream of stardom and participated in several talent shows, but he stopped at auditions due to congenital conditions.
For the cultural works of the earth, Hawke can only say that he has a wide range of knowledge, but he is not specialized.
In the two days since the time travel, Hawk has entered almost all the outlines of his memorized works into computer-encrypted files to prevent them from being forgotten over time. But when it comes to "reading" the information from the Earth's treasure trove, things are far from being as simple as imagined.
After all, he doesn't have a system, that's the start for diamond players.
A five-minute solo performance at the concert is his best way to attract fans at the moment. Imagine that when other teammates casually take the old show and let him release a big move, the effect must be excellent.
More importantly, "original" works can establish a high-style character.
Can a talented person with creative talent be the same as those idols who look at their faces and eat outside?
At least in the current Huaxia, there are very few idols with creative strength.
This is an industrial chain where copyright is supreme and supervision is strictly prohibited, and it is not an era when you can just change other people's songs to a few lyrics and call them original. If you really do this, you will be ruined in China.
Here I have to mention the ability and family background of Hawke's original owner.
Hawke's father, Huo Guobang, is a private entrepreneur, and his mother, Zhang Wenxiu, is a junior high school math teacher. The good family environment gave Hawke the opportunity to learn extracurricular specialties such as piano, guitar and painting.
For example, the level of guitar playing, hooking up with a freshman elementary school girl on campus, and singing a few love songs is no problem.
"Hey, I hate less books when I use them!" Hawke sighed, rubbing his temples.
"If you have the ability to do a magic trick, like play a piano piece of Pirates of the Caribbean, then the style will not be rubbed up. ”
It's a pity that the current strength can't meet this requirement.
There are only four days left until the next concert is full.
"You don't have to think about all kinds of fancy ideas, let's copy the song honestly. ”
Hawke finally decided to present an "original" song.
This copying song also requires some prerequisites.
First of all, the arrangement of the score should not be too complicated, and he has no time or money to complete a complex score now.
Secondly, the difficulty of singing should not be too high, he can't sing high notes. For example, Hawke copied a song "Jiangnan", and it is estimated that it is also a car accident scene when it is sung.
The most important thing is that this song should be in line with the aesthetics of this era and the positioning of a teen idol.
Imagine a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy singing a song "Miss Dong", which is simply green and terrible, and a large-scale fan drop scene. Or how inconsistent is singing "Ten Years", a seventeen or eighteen-year-old middle-aged uncle?
Hawke has a habit of writing down his thought process on paper and summarizing the important parts.
Please admit the fact that you are not good enough to sing!
This is the first sentence on the white paper of the desk.
"Whether it is the articulation of words or the conversion of true and false voices, there are flaws, and they may not be changed in a short period of time. Hawke hesitated for a moment and rejected his original idea, "With my current strength, it may be difficult to impress people by singing a song like 'Little Lucky', and the simpler it sounds, the more difficult it is to grasp." ”
After a moment of thinking, Hawke seemed to have found a solution.
He remembers that when he used to watch the talent show on Earth, the jury said two points to those contestants who sang non-Chinese songs: First, the pronunciation was inaccurate and there was a problem with the singing.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is the second kind of evaluation.
The general meaning is that not everyone can speak a foreign language, so when singing a foreign language song, the audience may not be able to distinguish the words and pronunciation of the contestants, but will think that wow, this person can speak a foreign language!
Hawke remembered that there was a female singer talent show champion who sang a French "Carmen", and the show flew off.
As for whether the pronunciation is accurate, there are different opinions, and the female singer did make a big hit with this little fire.
Therefore, people should always learn to develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and when they can't avoid their weaknesses, they must find a way to pull the level of the people around them to the same level as themselves, and then use their knowledge to defeat others.
As a sophomore in the English department, it's not normal to write an English song!
It should also be added that English is not compulsory in Huaxia, but only a commonly used international language.
English is one of the official languages of the European Federation, and the Eagle Country on the other side of the ocean can be said to be a three-legged match for English, Chinese and Spanish due to special historical reasons.
In this era, singing English songs in China gives people the same feeling as listening to French and German songs on the earth, which is foggy and misty, and the error tolerance rate is significantly improved.
With these things in mind, the only thing Hawke had to think about was copying, oh no, which predecessor's work he was carrying forward.
There's definitely no time to arrange, so it's best to be able to do it with a guitar. And it must be small and fresh, sunny and cheerful, and not bitter and hateful.
There was a song that first came to Hawke's mind.
I'm Yours
This is a ballad song by American singer Jason Mayez on Earth, which was nominated for the 51st Grammy Song of the Year, and the lyrics describe the laid-back life of an otaku and the yearning for hazy love.
Fresh, sunny, stylish, and the accompaniment only requires a guitar.
It seems a bit overkill for a newcomer who has just debuted to come up with a Grammy-level song at the beginning?
It's not easy to be famous, and you have to seize every opportunity to amplify your moves.
A concert with less than 1,000 fans, not even TV and Internet broadcasts, if you want to attract the attention of the masses, you need to choose such a superb song.
To kill chickens, you must use a knife.
Otherwise, the end will be to be killed.
………
The lyrics were written extremely smoothly, and it was done in twenty minutes. Because the guitar accompaniment already has a finished tune, all Hawke needs to do is make sure that it is not out of tune, and the rest can be adjusted slowly in the next few days.
"Tomorrow I need to borrow the company's recordings to make a demo, and then I have to work on the copyright application for the song and so on. Hawke frowned and said after listing the things that need to be done in the past few days, "The most troublesome thing is the ownership of this singing rights and subsequent income, and I need to think of a way to fight for it tomorrow." ”
The song will definitely be popular, and you still have to have the basic confidence as a traverser.
But if you make money by composing the lyrics and composing songs yourself, if you want to divide it equally among seven people and give the company a nineteen percentage, then Hawke is not a virgin, he is a fool!
"Fortunately, I have only signed a brokerage contract now, and there is still some room for manoeuvre, so let's talk about other things tomorrow morning. ”
On the night of September 12, 2005, Hawke "wrote" his first song.
