Chapter 17: The First Interview
After quietly listening to Chen Tianliao sitting in front of the piano playing and singing, Takahara Daisuke was silent for a long time and said, "With this song, it is worth me to go to China to serve you for two years! Thank you, Chen Jun!"
Takekawa didn't expect Takahara Daisuke to have such a high evaluation of Chen Tianliao's song, and couldn't help but take a serious look at Chen Tianliao. Well, a small man of less than 1.5 meters, his head is not big, and his face is quite delicate, but he is not as good-looking as when they first met. No matter how you look at it, he's still an ordinary little kid, and it's hard to imagine that this is a talented prodigy.
The next day, Chen Tianliao officially started his trip at WHK. In the morning, Chen Tianliao and his entourage visited the headquarters of WHK. I have to say that the science and technology of the country is developed, and this headquarters is placed in another time and space, and Huaguo, which is located around 2010, is also very advanced.
Among this group of people, Chen Tianliao is well-informed, and when Huaguo developed rapidly in the later world, he had never seen any kind of modern TV headquarters. And Su Yuejiang, Song Shiqing and Su Wenhai don't have much knowledge in themselves, but when they see it at this time, they don't know it, and they don't have any particularly deep feelings. Huang Yi is different, as soon as she entered the door of WHK, she exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! Compared with CCTV ...... really good."
Chen Tianliao smiled and said: "Now the Japanese country is still the style of the nouveau riche, everything is the best, and they are desperately piling up modern things. For example, the building outside, and the various equipment here. In ten or twenty years, our country will become the same tyrant. ”
Huang Yi smiled and said: "Where is there a local tyrant to describe your country? More than ten years ago, you had to be dragged to criticize." ”
Chen Tianliao just smiled, there was no interface. People in this era could not imagine how crazy the economic growth of Huaguo would be in the later generations, and even the original chief designer probably could not have imagined it. Chen Tianliao suddenly had a sense of heroism standing in the tide of the times that changed the world.
In the afternoon, it was the time for Chen Tianliao to be interviewed by Naoko Mingbo. Because Chen Tianliao's fluent language is no different from that of a native-born Japanese, this is a face-to-face conversation between the two of them.
"Liao Jiang, are all your works written by you?" Because he had a full understanding of Chen Tianliao's eloquence, Mingbo asked straightforwardly.
"It's not. Chen Tianliao smiled, "This is the music that God borrowed from my brain." I know what the skeptics are saying, but I don't want to say more. Time will tell. I'll have more to come. I've already created two albums for Luna, and Miss Nakajima's new album will be on sale soon. Next, I will create a new album for Daisuke Takahara's beloved daughter, Miss Takahara Maki. ”
Mingbo said in surprise: "Ah, Liao Jiang is now focusing on creating an album for himself? I have heard the latest three singles of Miss Yoko Nakajima, all of which are very good works, especially "Snow Flower" won this year's Golden Melody Award The call is very high, it is really excellent. ”
A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Tianliao's face: "That's because its creators and singers are too good!"
Mingbo also smiled: "Liao sauce is really confident!"
Chen Tianliao said: "Self-confidence is what it should be. If you don't have self-confidence, how can you make achievements?"
Mingbo nodded and said, "Liao Jiang is so right! So can Liao Chan tell me how you came to be this day?"
Chen Tianliao pondered for a while and said, "I was born into an ordinary military family, but not long after I was born, my father died in that war in the south. I was actually brought up by my mother.
"I still have my grandparents at home, and a sister-in-law who has just stepped into the workplace and is not very reliable but cares about me. With so many relatives and no father at home, my life is still very happy.
"When I was in kindergarten, I met Ms. Xu Wenjing when I was five years old. She was a disciple of a piano master and taught me how to practice. Because she thought I was talented, she taught me the piano on a voluntary basis until today. She was my best music teacher.
"When I went to elementary school, Mr. Xu would keep showing me all kinds of music and songs for me to enjoy. As I listened to the music, I slowly felt some strange melodies rise in my heart. As my understanding of music deepened, I heard more music, and the melodies in my heart continued to be enriched.
"Until one day I suddenly hummed the melody in my heart, and I thought, this melody must be very interesting with the lyrics. And so, my first song was born. ”
Mingbo's eyes widened and he said, "What a miraculous experience! It turns out that a genius little music creator was born like this! But, Liao Jiang, why are your songs all Japanese songs?"
Chen Tianliao corrected: "Not all of them are Japanese songs. In fact, there are many Chinese songs. Saying that, Chen Tianliao hummed two Chinese songs, "You see, some songs are Chinese-Japanese bilingual versions, some songs are only Chinese-language versions, and some songs are only Chinese-language versions." Because sometimes my work will reach a dead end, and the Chinese and Japanese say that they are the same language, but in fact there are still many differences, and sometimes one language is so good that I can't translate it into another language. For example, "The Three Brothers of Maruko", I can't make the Chinese lyrics as good as the Japanese lyrics. I still have some songs, but I can't write the lyrics of the Japanese language smoothly. ”
"So do you prefer Mandarin or Wakan?" Mingbo is digging a trap again.
"I love all the languages. Chen Tianliao wittily walked around, "I'm learning English now, and I'll be Spanish, German, and French next...... Every language has its own beauty, and these beauty places are often associated with the culture of the nation. For example, the tone of the Chinese language is very beautiful, and the expression is subtle and full of wisdom, and the syllables of the Chinese language are bright and bright, and there is a strong spirit of perseverance of the Japanese people. ”
Mingbo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, we don't have language and culture classes anymore." Let me ask you another question, is Liao Jiang interested in releasing a record in the Wa Kingdom?"
"I don't have any plans for this for the time being. Chen Tianliao replied casually, "I'm afraid that I'm too good and let the little girls of the entire Wa Kingdom go crazy for me, then I'll be in trouble!"
Mingbo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Liao sauce, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?"
Chen Tianliao stared at Mingbo's eyes and said easily: "Mingbosan is trying to say that I am not confident, but narcissistic excessively?"
Mingbo laughed and said, "This is not what I said, this is what you said." ”
Chen Tianliao also laughed, turned his body to face the camera, stretched out his right hand to stroke his hair, compared his right hand to a pistol posture, put it in front of his chin, inserted it diagonally upward, and put on a very sassy posture, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, making his eyes look forward more powerfully, and pulling the corners of his mouth up to make a standard smile. Then he maintained this posture and demeanor, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "Look, am I narcissistic enough to pose?"
Mingbo covered his mouth and smiled so much that he bent down slightly, unable to speak.
Chen Tianliao retracted his posture and said, "Actually, I was born not good enough because of my voice condition. I can't spoil my work, so I want to give it to the right people to sing it. That's one of the reasons why I'm now focusing on making albums for people. ”
Mingbo said: "As far as I know, when you choose a singer, you often don't just consider the singer's conditions, but take money as a very important condition. ”
Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Of course. Because I don't lack works, but I am very short of money, so it makes sense to exchange my surplus items for what I lack. ”
Mingbo asked: "Then what do you want so much money for?" As far as I know, you have already bought a house with a total area of 300 square meters in your capital city with the income of the Wa Kingdom. ”
Chen Tianliao said: "The first thing is to change the living standards of myself and my family. At present, I believe that everyone knows the living standards of the people in our country, so we must carry out reform and opening up and encourage some people to get rich first. Then I'll be the one who gets rich first. But getting rich is not enough, the state also encourages those who get rich first to lead those who are not rich to get rich, so I still need a lot of money to start a business, create more jobs for my compatriots, and drive some people to become as rich as me. ”
"Liao Jiang's ambition is really not small!" Mingbo praised.
Chen Tianliao smiled: "This ambition is not too big. I also want to set up some world-class large companies like the Waguo Suo, Tuyo Collapse, and Hongda, so that our country's waist can be straightened a little bit. ”
Mingbo laughed: "Then I wish Liao Sauce's dream come true." ”
Chen Tianliao could clearly hear the contempt contained in Mingbo's polite smile. He didn't want to talk about it with Mingbodo, after all, in this era, even the Chinese themselves did not believe that such a huge private company would emerge in the Chinese Congress. He also replied politely, "Thank you." ”
Mingbo said again: "But Liao Jiang's artistic talent is so good, wouldn't it be too wasteful not to continue to exert his genius on the road of art, but to devote himself to industry and commerce?"
Chen Tianliao said: "I didn't say that I wouldn't continue to follow the path of art. But why not start a big company by the way while sticking to your own artistic path?"
Mingbo couldn't keep up with Chen Tianliao's train of thought, but thinking about his age, he was relieved again: "Ahaha, that's it." With Liao's genius, it should be very easy. Now let's get back to the music of Liao sauce. I don't know why the music style composed by Liao sauce is so complicated?"
Chen Tianliao spread his hands: "I don't know." A lot of times a melody comes to mind and then it goes down and it becomes like this. For me, there are only two kinds of music, one that I like and one that I don't. I only write about the kind I like. ”
Mingbo couldn't keep up with Chen Tianliao's train of thought again: "Then has Liao Jiang had an in-depth understanding of the current pop music?"
Chen Tianliao shook his head and said, "Our country ...... How to put it, it has only just been opened to the public, and I don't know a lot about international things. These cultural accumulations are a long time to come. So, so far, I don't really know much about the background of the music. But it doesn't matter, I have a pair of very sensitive ears, I also have a smart and efficient brain, and a heart with a lot of feelings. I just need to write songs that everyone can enjoy and let everyone feel them together. As for the background, what history, for me, it's just an embellishment. ”
Mingbo paused for two or three seconds before he said, "Liao Jiang's words can be regarded as grasping the essence of the song." However, I still have one more question to ask. At such a young age, how can Liao Jiang's description of feelings be so delicate and rich? For example, your description of the feelings between men and women. ”
Chen Tianliao smiled and said: "We have an old saying in China, which is called that we have never eaten pork, and we have seen pigs run away. ”
Mingbo stared at the beautiful big eyes, flashed a few times, and looked puzzled.
Chen Tianliao said: "I can write down other people's experiences, and that's enough. There are many things that you don't need to experience yourself, as long as you can observe, think, put yourself in your shoes to experience, and understand, then there is no problem. ”
Mingbo smiled and didn't continue to ask. And thanks to the friendship of the Chinese and Japanese in this era, Mingbo did not ask him sensitive historical questions. The interview quickly ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
