Chapter 54, What is yours is yours
After struggling for a while, facing Li He's silent gaze, Teacher Liu shook his head, made up his mind, and said:
"You have written the song "Once You" so well, whether it is the lyrics or the song, I personally think that it has reached a high artistic level, even if Xu Wei writes it himself, not every song can achieve the perfect combination of this pop style and artistic realm. In late August, there is a national original song grand prix, and there is a sub-division in the provincial capital, and I think your song has the absolute strength to break through and enter the final national finals. So, without your permission, I have already registered you......"
Yes...... Li He spit out a mouthful of old blood in his heart, where did he make up for his brain?
He thought it was the goddess's chase, but he found that he was still a few light years away from Wang Bazhiqi. Fortunately, Li He's body has the heart of a 35-year-old divorced old man who has been battered, although he is slapping himself with a brick in his heart, but on the surface he still asked calmly: "Teacher Liu, you hesitated for a long time, is this what you want to say?"
When Liu Mili heard this, a very rare flush appeared on her face, and she said: "Not only that, the lyricist and songwriter of this song are you, and there will be no dispute about this." I think that because I was also involved in the mixing and arrangement, without your permission, I not only filled in myself as your instructor, but also added the title of arranging and post-production to myself, because I only stayed in the provincial capital for a day, and I didn't have time to ask for your opinion. ”
Li He was also drunk, he looked at Liu Mili in a daze, it was hard to believe that she had been squirming for a long time, just because of this, he still made up so many beautiful dialogues in his brain. Li He vomited a lot of blood in his heart, and asked in disbelief, "That's it?"
Liu Mili bit her lip and said, "I know it's a shame to touch the light of students, but I'm really optimistic about your song." I've tried to compose myself, but I've never had a song that has reached the height of your song, in fact, what I really want to do is be a singer, if I seize this opportunity to show my face, maybe I can fight a few more times, if I don't have this opportunity, I think I will have to stay on the middle school campus forever as an obscure middle school teacher. I'm not saying that middle school teachers are bad, but I don't want my ideals to leave me forever. ”
"Girl, you are so cute. Li He said in his heart, smiled slightly, and said to Liu Mili: "Teacher, you think too much." Whether it's the instructor, the arrangement, or the post-production, this is what you do, what you do, what's so embarrassing? If it's not for girls to sing this song, even if the songwriter gives it to you, what's not to do?"
"No, no, no!" Liu Mili waved her hand again and again, her always calm face was also anxious, and said, "I definitely didn't mean that!"
"I know. Li He said with a faint smile: "But my ideal is not to be a singer, I only occasionally have such inspiration to write such a song." Why don't I give you the composer? ”
"If that's the case. Liu Mili looked at Li He, her eyes were a little cold, and she said, "Then our teacher-student fate is here." ”
Everyone has their own pride, and what Li He generously gave was the pride that Liu Mili cared about the most, he nodded and said, "Okay, then don't worry about it." Then practice this song well and go to the competition, you also know my background, so what results this song can achieve in the end, it depends on you, Mr. Liu. Whether you want to add choreography or record a music video, you can do what you feel needs to do. So, I can be counted as your official disciple, right?"
Liu Mili looked at Li He, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "No, it's not a disciple, it's my partner." Your song also gave me some inspiration, and I will work on it. ”
"Partner, teacher, maybe we can form a band, a mixed band. Li He had a flash of inspiration in his mind, of course, he didn't think of the Phoenix Legend, Liu Miley's style of singing in a denim jacket in the bar that day reminded him of the Feier Orchestra, which was also very popular later. In '98, there was no Philippine Orchestra at this time.
Liu Mili only smiled at Li He's words, but before she could speak, Li He said seriously: "I have a song, teacher, you remember the melody." As he spoke, he put down the guitar in his hand, his level, with accompaniment, he didn't know what to do, he simply sang it out, and let Liu Mili sort out the melody by herself, at least it can be regarded as a co-creation, and she will not be unable to pass her own level. Just in Liu Mili's doubts, Li He hummed softly:
(Because of all the setbacks I have experienced, I finally understand that the most beautiful flowers bloom for themselves)
Lydia/Blurred eye sockets/Why wandering/Heartbroken ocean/Hurt/Even a smile wanders/Gypsy girl/Sing for whom/You'll see the fog/See the clouds/See the sun/The cracked earth/Repeat the sadness/He's gone, can't take away your paradise/Will leave rainbow tears after drying/He's gone, you can/Leave your dreams/There's always a place/Waiting for love to fly/Lydia/Happiness is not far away/Open a window/Make a wish/You'll feel love/Feel hate/Feel forgiveness/ Life will never be only full of sorrow/He can't take away your paradise when he's gone/Rainbow tears will be left behind when it's dry/You can leave your dreams behind/There's always a place/Waiting for love to fly"
Li He listens to songs that belong to the kind of people who don't have their own insistence, don't have their own taste, basically he will listen to any song when it's more popular, and many of them have forgotten it, this group from Taiwan makes him feel a little special, their music content covers Folkrock, Rock, Jazz, reggae and other genres, and hopes to explore the people of this era through the lyrics rich in humanistic meaning, to explore the people of this era on love, social phenomena, religion, psychology, From a philosophical point of view, it returns to the cultural connotation of the new wave of music, hoping to rekindle the rock spirit of "music carries the way".
Therefore, he also remembered several of their famous songs, his brain was smeared, and some things were hard to think about but couldn't remember anything, but to his surprise, there were some things that he couldn't remember completely, and at this time, he was picking up waste-like rakes and combing in his mind for a while, but it was more clearly presented in his mind than he remembered.
When he finished singing this song, he thought that he would be amazed and rewarded by Liu Mili, but he found that Liu Mili looked at him without saying a word, and the look in his eyes was clearly saying: "Rub, sing such a song, what the hell are you?"
Li He himself felt that this thing could not be explained, there was a lot of content involved in it, and the scope was very wide, and it was unreasonable for him to "write" such a song as a 16-year-old high school student who had never even been far away. So he simply said, "Teacher, you know what? I've been writing a novel lately, writing a novel about the end of the world. ”
Liu Mili hugged her arms, as if she was very cold, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Li He said seriously: "None of us have experienced the end of the world, right? But when I wrote it, it was like I had really reached the end of the world, the streets were full of zombies, and even the plants in the wilderness had mutated into man-eating monsters...... I would like to say that human imagination is limitless, and this song is a story I conceived when I was writing a novel, and just now I had a little inspiration, and it was accompanied by a melody. Anyway, this melody is here, whether you can write it down or not, that's your business, teacher. If you can put this song together, even if we wrote it together. ”
Liu Miley shook her head, it was difficult for her to accept Li He's far-fetched explanation, but after all, there was a song "Once You" there, and Li He seemed to her that even if he was not a genius, he was also a ghost. She took a breath and said, "What's yours is yours, I can't take it." ”
Li He smiled and said, "Then you can give the money." He paused for a moment and said, "There is absolutely no problem for you to sing this song, but if you don't want it, I will sell it for money, and writing songs to make money is not a loss of virtue, right?"
Some people are good at writing lyrics but can't compose music, some people are good at composing but can't write lyrics, and those famous stars often can't write or compose lyrics, but can sing very well. There are famous lyricists, and there are famous composers, who get paid for their creations, and they are equally noble.
And Li He is not joking, nor is he stimulating Liu Mili, whether she accepts "his" songs or not, he has never thought about becoming a singer, but selling songs to make money is also the basic business of the reborn. If Liu Mili didn't want it, he would really sell it to others.
"Good. Liu Mili seemed to have suddenly figured it out, or giving money would be more able to alleviate her guilt, so she also said happily: "I'll give you money, the song is considered a co-creation, at least I won't rob your lyricist, and I can't take it away." So, 20,000 yuan, I can only take out so much now. But we can sign an agreement, and I will share 50% of the benefits of this song with you. ”
Li He smiled and said: "30% is fine, otherwise I will make a lot of money, after all, whether this song can be popular or not, and to what extent, depends on you to support it." "Just 30% of him is also very profitable, you must know that this song was very popular in the Chinese music scene later, even if Liu Mili can't exert its original power here, Li He's income will not be less.
"Deal!"
A relaxed and full of fighting spirit Liu Mili made Li He feel that this song is not necessarily worse than in his previous life in this life.
