Chapter 2: The Forgetfulness Bar
In the world of Lu Chen's dream, there are too many people and things that are unfamiliar to him, although the development of history and science and technology is similar, but there are huge differences in music, film and television, literature and other cultural fields.
The singers, movie stars, music, movies, literature, etc. that Lu Chen is familiar with are all absent in the dream world, and the dream world is not short of celebrities, classic masterpieces, and the richness and brilliance of art even surpasses reality.
Li Feiyu's words reminded Lu Chen and made him suddenly realize what a huge treasure trove he had!
Just those original pop songs
What Lu Chen just opened on the computer was a software called "Singer-Songwriter Master".
"Singer-Songwriter Master" is known as a composition artifact, it integrates song creation, arrangement, synthesis, output and other functions, has a huge online cloud material library, professional but simple operation, whether it is an ordinary enthusiast or a senior musician, you can use this set of software to be original.
Lu Chen studied computer science in college, and he likes music, so he was able to skillfully use "Singer-Songwriter Master" to compose and arrange music very early, and experience what it feels like to be a singer-songwriter.
It's just that he used to write songs just to entertain himself, and he couldn't save a complete song in a year and a half.
As for the quality, it really doesn't need to be said much.
But now, with the memory in his dream, Lu Chen completed the composition and lyrics of the two songs in less than half an hour.
After the writing was completed, Lu Chen played and sang to the screen several times, correcting some of the mistakes and omissions.
Finally, he sent the complete scores of the two songs to the "Great China Music Library" for copyright inquiry.
Jointly established by the Chinese Cultural Bureau, the China Copyright Administration, the Chinese Musicians Association and the Chinese Performing Artists Association, Greater China Music Library is an online music copyright inquiry, registration and trading website, with a history of 20 years, and has the supreme authority in music copyright.
The website platform is open to everyone and offers the full content of the service, but it is not completely free.
The cost of a copyright query is 100 yuan, and the two songs have crossed out 200 oceans in Lu Chen's Yifubao account, which is equivalent to his ten days of living expenses!
The process of querying is slow, and the music library's program will make a comprehensive comparison between the score and the previously registered work to determine whether there are similarities, similarities or plagiarism.
The database of "Great China Music Library" is extremely large, and intelligent comparison and judgment require a large amount of computing, so even with the support of a supercomputer in the background, it will take a certain amount of time to complete the query.
But no matter how long it takes, Lu Chen will insist on waiting, because this is a necessary step to register copyright, and it is also the most important basis for him to compare dreams and reality.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Chen stayed in front of the computer, staring at the progress bar without blinking.
His heart had never been so uneasy as it was now, and he was so nervous about what he was suffering from and what he was doing.
Because Lu Chen knew that this was probably the only chance to change the fate of himself and his family!
Bite!
It seemed as if a whole century had passed, and a green prompt box popped up on the computer screen.
Enquiry passed!
Lu Chen was stunned and didn't react immediately.
Bite!
Again, the same prompt pops up.
Enquiry passed!
This time, Lu Chen finally understood that the two songs he uploaded had all passed the copyright query of "Great China Music Library", which means that he can register the copyright and then own all the copyrights of the songs!
The next moment, the huge joy and excitement overwhelmed Lu Chen, and he couldn't help clenching his fists and waving hard, all wanting to look up to the sky and howl to vent his mood at this moment.
Yes!
But the matter was not over, he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, held the mouse and clicked on the copyright registration.
The cost of copyright registration is much higher than that of inquiry, a work requires 500 yuan, and an archiving fee must be paid every year in the future to avoid over-annotation.
Lu Chen became a member of "Great China Music Library" very early, and just now passed the system query, so after paying 1000 oceans, the two songs were quickly registered under his name and the copyright was confirmed!
With the appearance of the registration completion prompt box, Lu Chen finally relaxed.
But the joy in his heart continued unabated, for he had already determined that the memories he had obtained in the dream were real!
Leaning back in his chair, Lu Chen exhaled.
He reached open the drawer under the small desk and pulled out a bucket of instant noodles and a ham sausage.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen took out another ham sausage - happy today, add food!
He got up and went to the sanitary area to get water, plugged in the electric kettle, and quickly poured boiling hot water into the bucket.
In the air, the familiar and ** smell of instant noodles is diffused!
It's not that Lu Chen doesn't want to go out and have a real meal, but the amount in his Yifubao is only more than 100 after paying the fees for copyright query and registration.
As for the change in the pocket, not even 50.
And there is still half a month before the day he pays his salary!
This amount of money was not enough to even eat, but Lu Chen didn't have much panic, he ate the instant noodles with soup and water cleanly, and after a simple cleanup, he left the basement with the guitar case on his back.
By the time Lu Chen arrived at the Houhai Forgetful Grass Bar by taking the subway, it was already nearly 8 o'clock in the evening.
Houhai is called the sea, in fact, it is a huge artificial lake, the Qing Pond used by the royal family in the old days, is also one of the components of Shichahai, starting from Di'anmen Outer Street in the east, Xinjiekou in the west, Ping'an Street in the south, and the second ring road in the north.
Houhai was a prosperous commercial area of the metropolis in the Yuan Dynasty, and the coast was full of taverns, shops, and workshops, and the former residences of the surrounding princes and nobles and celebrities abounded, and it is still the center of the capital today.
Today's Houhai is more prosperous than it used to be, and it is crowded with people on weekdays, and at night all the bars are lit up to welcome customers who like to spend the night.
Houhai is famous for its snacks, but the bar is even more famous.
Forget Worries Bar is one of the hundreds of bars in Houhai, and it is also where Lu Chen works at night.
"Xiao Lu, why are you late?"
The waiter standing at the door of the bar saw Lu Chen who came in a hurry, and sneered: "Haven't you always been the most punctual?
Lu Chen glanced at him and didn't speak, he reached out and pushed open the door and entered the bar.
This guy is about the same age as Lu Chen, and he has been working in Forget Worries for a longer time than Lu Chen, and the two originally had no grudges, but they were criticized by the boss for being late for work several times, so they held a grudge against Lu Chen.
Because the bar owner taught him a lesson, he compared Lu Chen, who had always been on time, Lu Chen was shot purely lying down, which was really wronged.
In addition, there is another important reason, that is, among all the waiters in Forget Worry Grass, Lu Chen is undoubtedly the most handsome, dumping this acne-covered guy for at least three streets, and he usually earns a lot of tips with his face.
was jealous, so he seized the opportunity to sneer at Lu Chen, Lu Chen knew that there was no reason to talk about this kind of person, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he treated the other party as air.
Ignoring it is actually a very powerful counterattack!
The prime time for nightlife hasn't come yet, and there aren't many customers in the bar.
The scale of the Forget Worries Bar is medium in Houhai, which is converted from an old warehouse, and the space of more than six meters high is divided into two floors, suspended in the middle, and arranged with stages, lights, curtains, sound and other facilities.
Around the center stage, there are dozens of wine tables and stools on the first and second floors, plus the scattered seats in front of the bar, which can accommodate up to 200 guests, and the whole decoration is said to have cost almost 2 million.
When Lu Chen came in, the bar owner, Chen Jianhao, was counting accounts at the back of the bar, and a charming woman sat beside him, sipping a blue cocktail slowly.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, walked over with the piano case and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm late today." ”
He was scheduled to go to work at 7:30, and now it's 8:00, 30 minutes late.
Chen Jianhao is a middle-aged man in his forties, but he looks only about 30, he is well-proportioned, well-dressed, and has the graceful demeanor and elegant temperament of a successful person.
After working in the Forget-Worry Grass Bar for more than half a year, Lu Chen knew that his boss didn't like others to be late, and he didn't like others to make excuses to cover up their mistakes, so he simply admitted his mistakes directly and sincerely.
Chen Jianhao put down the pen in his hand and said lightly: "Forget it this time, don't take it as an example." ”
Originally, according to the rules of the bar, the waiter would have to deduct his salary if he was late for work, but Lu Chen had always behaved well, and it was the first time he made a mistake, so he opened the net.
Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, boss." ”
"That's right"
Chen Jianhao said: "Sister Na and Xiaoshuai will come over later, and you will warm up in the evening." ”
Lu Chen nodded and agreed, "Okay!"
Inadvertently, he found that the charming woman standing next to Chen Jianhao looked at him with a slight smile.
The woman is dressed in a water-blue skirt, holding a delicate bun, her body is graceful and enchanting, her delicate face is covered with light makeup, and her eyebrows are like a fox.
The eyes of the two met, the corners of the charming woman's lips hooked a small arc, she winked at Lu Chen, her fox eyes seduced, revealing a trace of bewitching cunning.
Goblin!
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head and walked in the direction of the backstage.
He was afraid that if he and the strange woman looked at each other for a few more moments, he would lose his temper and make a fool of himself on the spot.
Such a goblin-like character is not something that mortals can control!
Behind him, there was the sound of a woman eating and laughing.
Chen Jianhao looked at her helplessly and said, "Xiaomei, what are you teasing my guy?"
The woman lifted the green silk hanging from her sideburns with her right hand, shook the wine glass with her left hand, and said, "Because I like it."
Chen Jianhao smiled bitterly and was speechless.
