Cheng Xiaoyu called the waiter to order a cup of coffee for Liu Bin, and asked with a little indescribable love in his smile, "What's the matter?"

Liu Bin picked up the tissue on the table, wiped the sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just great." It's too good for me to describe. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was not happy when he heard such a sincere and sincere praise, at this moment he felt that his soul was empty, he hurriedly took a sip of coffee to cover up the unnaturalness, the slightest dark stain on the corner of his mouth was not wiped off with a tissue, and said slowly, "Because this song should be like this, when it appeared in my mind, it was like this!" He had to face such a question after all, he had imagined countless times, how to answer when asked, and such an answer seemed to drain all his strength.

He was ashamed when everyone rightfully praised his talent, and he tried to convince himself: Isn't it mine if you pick up something that is ownerless, but he has never gained peace of mind, and he is even a little afraid of people asking questions like "Did you write it?" Carrying precious memories is his greatest original sin.

Liu Bin didn't pay attention to Cheng Xiaoyu's unnaturalness, and was stunned for a moment, feeling that he might not be able to understand the genius's thinking.

Generally speaking, the creative process of a song is generally composed first and then composed, and there are often cases where the lyrics are written first and then the lyrics are filled. But there are more of the former. After the lyrics and songs are completed, the songwriter himself generally makes a sample and records and sings it himself. Generally, the singing in the sample can be sung gently with falsetto. Keep it for later use. After the singer has listened to the sample and finalized the singing of the piece, the composer delivers the score and song sample to the singer and the producer. Find an arrangement. The arranger gets the score and the sample (sometimes the sample is not needed) and begins to arrange. This is probably the finished step of a song.

Liu Bin still couldn't understand what kind of concept appeared in Cheng Xiaoyu's mind? Cheng Xiaoyu's answer was too mysterious, making his mind still a mess, and he felt that he was asking like this as soon as he came up, which was very impolite, so he first took out his business card and handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm the music editor-in-chief of GG Music Network." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu's heart was heavy, and he was not in the mood to look at the business card, so he put it in his pocket casually, and said with an astringent smile, "It's okay, I didn't introduce myself, my name is Cheng Xiaoyu, a student in the third year of Fudan High School." ”

Liu Bin knew that Poison was very young, but he didn't expect it to be so young, such a work should not be the work of a high school student anyway, whether it is from the artistic conception of the lyrics and music or the transcendence of the times in the arrangement. Liu Bin couldn't help but ask again: "Are all the four songs really done by you independently?"

Cheng Xiaoyu pressed the shame in his heart, and said to him, "I started practicing piano at the age of three, and won the third prize in the Chopin International Piano Competition at the age of sixteen. I also taught myself guitar, drum kit and synthesizer, the guitar should be a master level, and I have my studio and recording studio at home. Pop music is just my hobby. I guess you're not just here to talk to me about music, are you?"

Liu Bin gasped when he heard Cheng Xiaoyu's self-introduction, as a high-achieving alto student of the composition department who majored in piano, of course he understood what the substantive first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition meant, and said that genius still didn't think the word was enough. At this time, Liu Bin was no longer confused, and pulled the conversation back to the topic, "I want to know, can you sign a contract with GG Music Network." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu sighed, he had no way to say that these music were his works, as a musician, of course he had his self-esteem, he didn't think about writing his own works, but the music library in his mind made him even more powerless, those excellent works were like light in the dark, so he couldn't help but look where, so he couldn't write anything.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Liu Bin's sincere gaze, and couldn't wait to rush from Yangcheng to Shanghai, which also made him feel Liu Bin's sincerity, and replied, "Of course you can sign a contract." ”

Liu Bin was relieved when he heard this, and his straight back collapsed slightly.

Cheng Xiaoyu changed his words and said, "But I have more conditions, you have to consider whether you can bear it." ”

Liu Bin knew that Cheng Xiaoyu was not easy to deal with, and the asking price would inevitably be high, but at this moment, as long as he could put forward conditions, there was room for negotiation, and he didn't believe that a high school student could have much appetite, so he smiled and said, "Any conditions are negotiable, we can divide according to the highest proportion, and even release CDs, we can follow the share of the current popular stars, my sincerity is very strong." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile, regained some of his pride, and said softly, "To be honest, money is not the most important thing to me, I don't want to change my current state, that is to say, life in the spotlight is not what I want for me." So, if you want me to sign a contract, you have to protect my ** first, I'm only selling my music, not me as a person, do you understand?"

Liu Bin hesitated for a moment, such a low-key star is not uncommon, so he immediately replied, "This shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Liu Bin's expression and knew that he still didn't understand it thoroughly, so he explained, "I mean, I only use my pen name to save zài, and I also hope that you will sign a confidentiality clause with me, I will sell music to you, and I will not cooperate with other things." ”

Only then did Liu Bin understand Cheng Xiaoyu's request, but in this case, his value as a star would be greatly reduced, which meant that he would not participate in various promotions, commercial performances, advertisements, or even concerts. Liu Bin couldn't help but ask again: "Don't you even have a concert?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "At least I won't think about it for the time being, don't think so far ahead, I still have the conditions, you listen to it first, if you want to release a record, the partner can only be Shanghe Records." ”

Although Liu Bin doesn't understand why, compared with the previous one, this is really not too much of a problem.

Cheng Xiaoyu continued quickly, "I don't take any of my music income, and you GG Music Network want to help me set up a fund, which is mainly for individuals suffering from serious diseases and unable to afford medical expenses and out-of-school children. ”

Liu Bin was stunned when he heard this, but when Cheng Xiaoyu didn't understand how huge the money was, he stammered, "Do you know what your possible income is in the future?

For Cheng Xiaoyu, of course he understands the value of these songs, Jay Chou sold 2400W records in the last glory of the record industry, can he calculate such a simple number?

But he doesn't care how much money it is, it's something he thinks about when he uploads music. Of course, he is not a saint, but not being a saint does not mean that he has no bottom line. He can't shamelessly take what shouldn't belong to him and get more benefits. He had already gotten so much out of it that he felt like he wouldn't be able to sleep well if he didn't give something. So when he replied to Liu Bin, he was very firm, and even felt a little relaxed about the heavy burden in his heart: "I think music is priceless, I just want to share my music with the world, if it involves interests, I will feel that I will not be able to write anything." When facing God and music, I need to keep a humble heart at all times, fame and money can only corrupt them, but for me, music is worth much more than money, and I am not too short of money. In fact, this is the time when Cheng Xiaoyu needs money the most, although Whisper will be a money printing machine in the future, but at the moment he is a monster who swallows gold.

Liu Bin was silent, he was still a little suspicious of Cheng Xiaoyu, but at this moment he felt that someone with such a state of thought must be a genius and a madman who loves music extremely much. Everyone knows that most geniuses are ruined by fame and fortune, but who can resist such a temptation and be loyal to their pious beliefs?

At this moment, he didn't treat Cheng Xiaoyu as a child, but was full of respect for him, but he had to say, "Aren't you thinking about it? In fact, you only need to take out half of the proceeds!"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked down at the dark brown coffee, turned around in the cup with a spoon, and said with a smile: "Wait for your company to agree to the first two conditions, let's talk about this issue! I believe that your company is also a company with character, and the treaty will not be harsh on me who uses all my income for public welfare." ”

Liu Bin also smiled and said, "Of course, I will report your matter directly to the president of the company, I personally admire you for making such a decision, at least I can't do this, but I will definitely strive for the greatest interests of your fund, but also for the majority of patients and children." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu thought that he had expressed all his requirements clearly at this time, and felt that he had completed at least part of his redemption, so he stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Bin, and said, "Well, I also believe in you very much, I am waiting for you to help me fight for the greatest rights and interests, please contact me at any time, I am about to take the college entrance examination, and I have to go home to review." We are sorry, but we cannot please dine. I think the next time you can come to SH, I will definitely take you to have a good meal. ”

Liu Bin held Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, feeling a thousand weights, looking at Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes as bright as stars, he felt that this world would be beautiful because of such people.

Liu Bin has something to say, but he doesn't know what to say, and a thousand words can only be combined into one sentence: "We will definitely meet again." After speaking, Liu Bin shook Cheng Xiaoyu's hand heavily.

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, turned around and walked towards Fudan University, where his car was still parked.

Liu Bin looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's chubby back like a lit candle under the tall canopy, and the dark shadow under the black light was like a burning flame.

At seven o'clock in Shanghai, the sky was getting late, and the street lamps on the side of the road happened to be lit in conjunction with Cheng Xiaoyu's footsteps between his walks, and the blue sky swept in like a tide, and after calming, it was as magnificent as the deep sea, and the silver-white crescent moon and twinkling stars were like faint points of light in the waves.

And his distant figure is like a lighthouse in this misty night, attracting Liu Bin's attention, and he is full of emotion at this time.

This situation made him feel that the darkness itself did not exist in this world, and they just lacked the light to baptize them.

(Thanks to Yi Meow, Huang Banyun, and Sad Dynasty for their rewards.) This chapter is very laborious to write, I think Cheng Xiaoyu should have completed a self-redemption, some people have said that Cheng Xiaoyu is inferior and cowardly. I think he is actually more proud and brave than anyone else, and that is his noblest quality as an artist. And personally, I have read so many entertainment articles, and whenever the author writes that the protagonist in the book takes these great works as his own without any burden, my heart refuses. Everyone is born with original sin, such as greed and **, but as a person, original sin is not a qiē, he should also have a more complex kind character, if the male protagonist is not noble enough, what will he use to match those such beautiful heroines? Cheng Xiaoyu in my heart is a gentle, arrogant, although the bottom line is not high, but can stick to it! Well, in fact, the last word I want to say is the point. I like the character of Su Yuxi very, very much, I think whoever has such a sister will become a sister control! Well, above! Thank you for seeing me write so much nonsense, I love you too!)
