Chapter 9: The Song (Grand Chapter)
Half a year has passed, it is the middle of winter, Chen Tianliao is in the fourth grade, and Zhuchuan remitted more than 70,000 yuan to Chen Tianliao. This is the payment for the rights to the three songs "Maruko Family", "Rock 'n Roll of Grandpa Needle", and "Let's Dance, Belly!", paid by Johnnys, the parent company of Luna. Because the payment of the remuneration of the Wa Kingdom was relatively slow, although these songs were already sold in the market, the first payment only arrived. Takekawa deducted all the taxes and fees he was entitled to, and remitted the rest. At the same time, she told Chen Tianliao that the sales of the three singles were all around one million, and Chen Tianliao could get about 100,000 yuan in follow-up shares.
Chen Tianliao carefully converted, and the more than 70,000 Japanese yuan in this era was about 5,000 yuan when converted into Chinese dollars. Although it is not much, the copyright is still in your own hands, and it can still flow for a long time. Moreover, having said that, in the era when the term "10,000 households" was just invented, Chen Tianliao really became a "big money" to the letter.
Chen Tianliao happily returned home with the remittance slip, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard his sister-in-law shouting hoarsely: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I don't care, I won't live in school." I'd better move back. β
Chen Tianliao asked in surprise, "Yo, girl, what's wrong?"
Chen Mei glanced at him: "You just took the gun medicine! Huang Gaozhi always comes downstairs to the dormitory to play the piano, and the school doesn't care." Ahh β
Chen Tianliao let out a faint "oh" and put on an old pedantic face: "Today's young people, they don't have to study, they know that when they fall in love, the world is going down!"
The angry Chen Mei was still amused by him and laughed: "Ahh
Chen Tianliao gestured with his hand to apply for a timeout in the sports arena: "Don't, sister-in-law, lady, do you know? β
Chen Mei slapped him and slapped him hard on the buttocks: "Fuck your lady!"
"Don't bully Xiao Liao!" Li Ximei immediately stopped her, "If you have a kind, go back to school and beat up that man." β
Chen Mei pursed his lips and muttered a few words.
Chen Tianliao ignored her anymore, raised the remittance slip in his hand, and said, "Grandma, grandma, look, the remittance slip, mine!" said while pointing his thumb to his nose.
Chen Mei snatched the remittance slip and said curiously: "How can you have a remittance slip like a little kid?
Chen Tianliao said proudly: "Yes, the song I wrote in the Wa Kingdom was sold for authorization, and I got 160,000 Wa Yuan, and after paying the taxes, I also got 70,000 Wa Yuan. β
Chen Mei was taken aback: "Seventy thousand Japanese dollars?!How many Chinese dollars is that?"
"About five thousand. Chen Tianliao deliberately said in a light tone, but his lofty little face was still full of the word "proud".
"Five thousand yuan!" Li Ximei was also startled. She snatched the remittance slip from her daughter's hand and counted the numbers on it carefully: "One, two, three, four, five, one, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, thousand, it's really 70,000 yuan!
Chen Tianliao pursed his little belly shyly: "Of course, it is the songs of the prodigy that can sell so much money! Come on, come and envy me, worship me!"
At this time, even Li Ximei was amused, and couldn't help but come up with a local dialect: "Maijie ghost (what the hell)!"
Chen Mei patted Chen Tianliao's head, slapped his high head down, and then put on a smiling face: "What, Xiao Liao, how does my sister-in-law usually treat you?"
The corners of Chen Tianliao's mouth pulled a smile to both sides: "If you don't ask me for money, I will say that you are very good to me;
"Ah, your kid has rebelled, dare to deny your sister-in-law!"
was making a fuss, and Su Yuejiang's voice came from outside: "Why is it so lively?
"Mom-" Chen Tianliao ran out quickly, threw himself into his mother's arms, and said loudly, "Mom, I received the song copyright fee remitted from the Wa Kingdom today, and it is 5,000 yuan in Chinese currency!"
Su Yuejiang's body trembled: "What? five thousand?"
Li Ximei also walked out with a smile, nodded to Su Yuejiang, and then handed over the remittance slip in her hand.
Su Yuejiang's eyes widened, staring at the remittance slip in front of him, and the big number, 74,532, was particularly eye-catching on the remittance slip. She wanted to open her eyes wider, but her mind suddenly went blank and she couldn't do anything, and then tears flowed uncontrollably. She crouched down and covered her eyes with her hands.
After all, Chen Tianliao is a human being in two lives, so he naturally knows what his mother's mood is. He walked up to his mother and hugged her tightly, his little face pressed against her hair.
After a while, Li Ximei said: "Okay, okay, let's all come in, don't stand (stand) at the gate, hinder everyone's passing (coming)." β
Su Yuejiang wiped her eyes, stood up, hugged her son's shoulder, and entered the house.
On this day, the whole family was very happy. During the meal, Chen Aiguo asked his grandson: "Liao'er, you get so much money, how are you going to spend it?"
Chen Tianliao said: "Of course, I will save it and buy a big house for my grandparents in the future." β
Li Ximei smiled happily: "Okay, my grandson has a future, and his grandparents are happy without buying a house." But did you miss your mother?"
Chen Tianliao got up from the dining table, walked to his mother's side, hugged her, and said, "I still have to accompany my mother for the rest of my life, my things are my mother's things." β
Su Yuejiang was excited in her heart, and couldn't help but hug her son and kiss her fiercely.
Chen Mei looked red for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law, you made Xiao Liao's face full of oil!"
Chen Tianliao smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil on his face, and said, "I'm happy, do you want to take care of it?" After speaking, he made a grimace at Chen Mei. Chen Mei also opened his teeth and claws at Chen Tianliao. When they saw this, they all laughed.
In fact, Chen Tianliao still had something to say in his heart. He earns money to show his mother his ability to stand on his own. In his heart, he wanted to find a suitable man for his mother. After all, his mother is only in her early thirties, and she still has a long way to go in life! Of course, he will not recognize his new father, and at most he will call the other party uncle. If you get along, you can live together, just like "Family with Children" in another time and space, and if you don't get along, you can live separately, and then go to see your mother every day.
After dinner, Chen Mei pulled Chen Tianliao to his room and said solemnly: "Xiao Liao, I will discuss one thing with you." β
"I don't want to be troublesome. Chen Tianliao replied immediately.
Chen Mei was angry: "I haven't said anything yet, why do you just say that?"
Chen Tianliao ignored her, and still said slowly in a half-dead tone: "What else can you say? Don't you just want to borrow some money from me first to rent a small house outside the school to hide from it." β
Chen Mei's eyes widened: "You can guess this?"
Nonsense, brother is dozens of years older than you!" Chen Tianliao said in his heart. But he said, "I've lived with you for so long, and I don't know you?
Chen Mei was disgusted when he heard this, and then he became angry, raised his eyebrows and glared: "So you don't help your aunt?"
Chen Tianliao didn't answer, but just stared at his sister-in-law's pupils with his eyes. Chen Mei was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he was furious in his heart, and he couldn't help but have another seizure. At this time, Chen Tianliao spoke: "Help, why don't you help? But it's not safe for a delicate girl like you to rent a house outside." I'll help you get rid of him at the root. β
Chen Mei frowned, looked at his nephew suspiciously, and said, "How to solve it?" With your small body, needless to say, my surname is high, and I can solve you with one finger even my aunt and grandmother." β
"Grandma, I've taken you. Why is it that a girl's family is still a prestigious university, and she only knows how to fight and kill all day long? Do you want to go to the mixed road?" After speaking, Chen Tianliao also squinted at his sister-in-law.
Chen Mei was irritated by Chen Tianliao's contemptuous tone and eyes: "What kind of bastard? Didn't you say that I would deal with him?"
"Oh-" Chen Tianliao deliberately replied with a meaningful exclamation, and then said, "As a Sven person who knows books and etiquette, we want to fight in literature rather than in martial arts. Didn't your ex-boyfriend say he's a musical talent? Then let the real musical genius crush him with music!"
"Music talent, where did I find it? By the way, did you know any master when you went to the Japanese Kingdom?"
Chen Tianliao looked at his sister-in-law with anticipation speechlessly, and said after a while, "Didn't you notice that the master was right in front of you?"
"In front of me?" Chen Mei was confused for a while, and couldn't help but look around, but he didn't see a single figure.
Chen Tianliao decided not to talk nonsense with her anymore. Such a girl who doesn't cooperate with people's zhuangbility doesn't have to waste saliva. He picked up the harmonica on Chen Mei's table, put it in his mouth and blew it. Chen Mei was immediately calmed by the melody blown by Chen Tianliao.
After a prelude, Chen Tianliao began to sing. He deliberately lowered his voice to simulate an adult's pronunciation. Of course, no matter how he imitates it, his immature voice is still full of disobedience. But these are all details, and the charming melody and touching lyrics quickly make Chen Mei ignore everything and listen seriously.
After Chen Tianliao finished singing, Chen Mei came back to his senses and said, "Whose song is this?
Chen Tianliao rolled his eyes: "Who else can there be?" Of course it's my brother!"
Chen Meihu looked at him suspiciously, ignoring his chaotic self-title: "You?"
"Isn't it who I am? Have you heard this song somewhere else?"
"But you little brat, how can you know so much about love and love?"
"Genius, do you understand? Oh, I don't understand, right, it's normal, because genius is not for ordinary people to understand!" Chen Tianliao moved out the ultimate weapon to end the topic - genius theory.
Chen Mei instinctively wanted to spark the prestige of this stinky boy, but thinking about Chen Tianliao's usual performance, he acquiesced in his genius theory. Even though this kid's stinky fart looks very poor.
Immediately, Chen Mei said worriedly: "But one song shouldn't be enough." β
"How can a genius only have one song?" Chen Tianliao smiled, "I'll do something, don't worry." I don't compare him to the shame of being a fool, and I've changed my name to a fool from now on!"
The appearance of Yanyuan in this era is not much better than that of ordinary factories, most of the buildings are dilapidated, and the furniture such as tables and chairs in the buildings is a mixture of old and new. Even if it is new furniture, with the financial resources and aesthetic style of this era, it is not much better.
As for the students, not to mention. Although a few girls dress up a little more fashionably, most are more conservative in blue, gray or plaid clothes. As for the external quality of the boys, it is even more miserable, most of them have unkempt hair, and many of them still have messy beards or stubble, which is not much better than the image of migrant workers ten years later. In this era, people, especially those with higher levels of education, are still proud of studying hard and ashamed of spending time dressing up.
Chen Tianliao followed his sister-in-law to the famous triangle without squinting. Today, there is a group of art lovers who will perform here to promote their performances. Huang Gaozhi, who chased his sister-in-law, would also help with publicity. Chen Tianliao asked his sister-in-law to lead the way to step on the field. And after listening to a few songs sung by Chen Tianliao, the sister-in-law also took him straight to the goal with confidence.
Before I got to the propaganda board, I saw hundreds of people surrounded there, and there were people on the periphery handing out leaflets. At this time, the students could not afford to pay for the printing of the factory, and these leaflets were engraved and mimeographed by the students themselves, with a strong smell of ink.
Chen Mei pulled Chen Tianliao into the crowd, and saw a group of men and women wearing all kinds of floral clothes and with strange hairstyles of longer or shorter busy shouting: "The performance time starts at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, don't be late!" "There will be mysterious guests coming, please look forward to it!" "Young people in the new era must dare to speak out and sing their hearts out loud!" ......
Chen Mei recognized Huang Gaozhi at a glance. This one is one meter eighty-five, and it definitely stands out among those strangely shaped artistic youths, that is, it is thin, like a withered reed, which is in stark contrast to the large acoustic guitar he is carrying. He has long hair on his head. To say that Yan University, as the best liberal arts university in the country, there are many boys with long hair, but boys with long hair over the shoulders are still extremely rare, and Huang Gaoli is one of them. Coupled with two thick ink mustaches and a plaid dress, it is too fashionable in Chen Mei's eyes, and in the eyes of Chen Tianliao in later generations, it is a big village cannon, and it is not as good as the later funeral family to kill Matt. Of course, whether it's fashionable or a village cannon, it's easy to recognize anyway.
At this moment, this Omura cannon is holding a megaphone, opening his voice that is not inferior to the cannon and proclaiming loudly. His eyes finally turned to this side, and as soon as he found Chen Mei looking at him with a playful smile, the village cannon immediately stuffed the megaphone to the classmate next to him, walked up to Chen Mei with a smile on his face, and said, "Mei'er, are you here?"
Chen Mei's face was flat: "Don't call me Mei'er, I haven't been intimate with you to that extent!"
Huang Gaozhi didn't hear it, and still said with a shy smile: "Mei'er, you're still angry." Well, I'll admit that I ignored your feelings, and I admit my mistake. Forgive me, I will definitely love you more in the future!"
Huang Gaozhi said, stretching out his hand to pull Chen Mei's arm. At this moment, a small figure flashed next to him to block his hand. Huang Huang Gaozhi looked at the small figure carefully, but it was a child of about one meter three, about ten years old, and he looked very smart, it was Chen Tianliao.
Chen Tianliao said: "Don't move your hands and feet, my sister-in-law is not familiar with you." β
Huang Gaozhi was stunned: "Your sister-in-law?"
Chen Tianliao hugged Chen Mei's arm: "Yes, my sister-in-law." My sister-in-law said, you are not talented enough, and you are not worthy of her. When you can compare to me, she will agree to be friends with you. β
Huang Gaozhi barely believed his ears. He is a musical genius in Yanyuan, he can compose and sing everything, this little kid actually said that he is not as good as him?
Chen Mei nodded and said, "Yes, Huang Gaozhi, when will the song you write be at the level of my little nephew, come to me again." β
Huang Gaozhi smiled: "Mei'er, if you don't like me, just say it, don't humiliate me like this, right? How old is your nephew? Even if you start learning music from your mother's womb, you shouldn't be able to compose, right?"
Chen Mei smiled and said, "Huang Gaozhi, if you can judge the level by age, then the old Wang Ba in the river will definitely throw you out of 108,000 miles." You can't compare to my nephew, it only means that you are old enough to live as a dog. β
Huang Gaozhi was also angry at this time: "Okay, let your nephew sing us a song and hear how he is better than me!"
Chen Tianliao said: "Don't worry, you should sing first, you don't admit it after I sing it, and everyone can't compare!"
Huang Gaozhi almost fainted with anger. At this time, the people around him coaxed: "Gao Zhi, just show your hand, don't be looked down upon by the little kid!" "Haha, I didn't expect you Huang Gaozhi to be flattened by the little kid!" "Gao Zhi, teach him a lesson, let these little people who don't know the height of the sky accept a lesson!" ......
Huang Gaozhi also became angry at this time, and said: "Okay, I'll let you see how the song is sung!" As he spoke, he raised his guitar, put his right hand on the strings, plucked a few notes casually, and quickly entered the playing state.
Chen Tianliao saw it and muttered: "This product is too X...... but many people around him showed excited looks, putting on a fan face looking forward to the idol performance. There was a moment of silence.
Huang Gaozhi brewed his emotions for a moment and began to pluck the strings. It can be heard that he has worked the guitar, and some of the fancy playing methods that have just appeared in the West have been performed in his hands. Then his singing voice sounded: "When I am lonely, I will come to this big locust tree." It is my childhood, my dreams, the home of my soul. No one knows when it grew or when it first bloomed. All I know is that it is my childhood, my dreams, my soul's home. When I met you, we also came under this big locust tree. It is our paradise, our dreams, and the home of our hearts......"
He sang the ballad "Locust Tree Love Song" composed by himself. The tune is very melodious, and Huang Gaozhi sings very skillfully. But Chen Tianliao didn't like it. He felt that the song lacked soul. There is no soul that can arouse the emotions of the audience, and no matter how fancy it is, it is just a bunch of slightly beautiful melodies.
Huang Gaozhi had just finished singing, and before he could get out of the performance state, a sad harmonica sound came. His heart fell into a desolate ice cave. Is such a sad melody really blowing from the mouth of the young man in front of you?
Chen Tianliao played one of the "100 Songs that Moved the Japanese Kingdom in the Twentieth Century" in his previous life, "γγΌγ (transliteration of English load)" sung by The Tiger Dance Ryu Group. This song was originally written by the group's lead singer Takahashi γΈγ§γΌγΈ (Takahashi George) to a nineteen-year-old female fan who died young. The female fan, who fell in love with a married man with a child and later became pregnant, wrote to Takahashi for help, asking if it was time to give birth to the child. Then the girl went missing, and Takahashi was very worried. By the time Takahashi got the news of the girl again, the girl had already died in a car accident before the spring came. The child in her belly also went with her. With this background, the harmonica sound at the beginning of the song naturally froze the bone marrow of all listeners with a bone-chilling cold.
Then Chen Tian put down the harmonica and began to sing.
Chen Tianliao sang the Chinese cover version of the song "Love Story on the First Collection", because the original text is Cantonese, so he combined the original text of the Chinese language to make it more suitable for Mandarin singing:
"The light of the stars shines down at midnight,
Everyone is happily telling stories.
But the thousands of thoughts in my heart are too chaotic,
I hesitate to see what you want to say.
One night when the snow was pouring over the land,
Stay by her window for a certain story,
The lonely guy with loneliness,
The courtyard wanders until the dawn of the open air.
How many moonlit nights the north wind blows away,
Why didn't she care by the window,
A love poem engraved on the lattice of the window,
Just like the weeds are inconspicuously lonely.
Tonight the guy is going to pour out the story,
And who is stupid to listen to the story again,
It's just that the crazy kid only knows the last episode.
Pray that the next episode will have a sweet ending. β
Listening to a little kid singing a gentle and sympathetic love song, the audience felt a strong sense of disobedience. But the tune of this song is so sad and heartbreaking, so that the audience can't stop listening to it, and a burst of sadness swells up in their hearts inexplicably, quietly listening to Chen Tianliao singing, not even wanting to move, for fear of ruining this sad love song.
When it comes to the chorus, the tactful lingering in front of it has become a direct expression of the chest. Chen Tianliao broke out:
"Why do I care so much about you,
Weave thousands of strands of love for you.
This kid can't break this story,
It's all because I'm in love with you, but you don't know!"
The hearts of the audience were instantly torn apart by the singing. The feelings of despair and obsession with hopeless love rush from the heart to the whole body like a tide. Immediately, the audience got drunk again: this little dot actually sang the despair and infatuation of lovelorn, what kind of demon is this!
Chen Mei smiled secretly as he watched the audience's movements. Chen Tianliao's songs are very good and he sings very well, but the sense of dissonance between his own image and the song is too heavy, which makes the hearts of the audience struggle violently between entering and leaving the play.
When Chen Tianliao finished singing the second lyrics, the audience fell into an eerie calm, and then there was a burst of warm applause. There is no doubt that Chen Tianliao's song is better than Huang Gaozhi's song in terms of melody and emotion. Huang Gaozhi's songs are also good songs in the mainland of this era, but they can't be compared with Baodao and Xiangjiang, not to mention the songs of the Japanese national song scene with more talents and a higher degree of development.
Huang Gaozhi's face had become ugly. He wanted to say that his song was better, but he couldn't open his mouth, in fact, even if he cheekily denied it, the people around him were not deaf. He glared at Chen Tianliao for a while with complicated eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"Chen Tianliao. Seeing his look, Chen Tianliao felt a little unbearable, no longer teasing him, and directly said his name.
"Are you Chen Tianliao?" Huang Gaozhi's eyes widened, "What a prodigy!" After speaking, he grabbed his guitar, turned around and staggered towards the dormitory.
"Uh, do you know me?" asked Chen Tianliao strangely and loudly.
Huang Gaozhi didn't answer, but his pace was obviously quickened a lot.
"He just left?" Chen Tianliao felt incredulous. Shouldn't he question that it's impossible for a little boy like him to write such a lingering love song? Shouldn't he quibble that this song is not good? He just walked away without pulling a few feet, and the few songs he had so hard chosen were completely useless, as if a strong man threw a desperate punch, but hit the scarecrow, and the strength of a thousand catties was useless, but instead strained his muscles, making him quite depressed.
"It seems to be......" Chen Mei didn't expect Huang Gaozhi, who was usually so aggressive, to admit defeat so quickly. Anyway, the trouble is temporarily solved, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Huang Gaozhi really didn't look for Chen Mei again. Chen Mei also returned to the normal track of life.
