Chapter 356: A New Song is Born
PS: Thank you WILL for the big red plus!
It's the end of February, and the weather on Hong Kong Island is starting to warm up, and the sun is shining outside the window at this time, and it's noon, which can even make people feel a little hot.
Chen Chufan was sitting upright in his studio, quietly holding a book and flipping through it. There was a thick stack of history books on the workbench in front of him, all of which Chen Chufan asked Lao Pao and Qiangzi to buy for him in the bookstore.
It's not that Chen Chufan is completely idle, but Kalman. Walter asked him to compose a single song similar to the style of "Jialan Night Rain", and Chen Chufan naturally recalled the steps taken when he wrote "Jialan Night Rain", and he clearly remembered that the inspiration for his lyrics at that time was found in the school library.
It's a pity that he is not on the campus of North University for Nationalities now, and his identity at this time is destined to be impossible to sit quietly in the public library on Hong Kong Island and read. So he had no choice but to stay in his studio and repeat his creative journey.
At this time, Chen Chufan was holding a book of the Three Kingdoms in his hand. Chen Chufan is naturally no stranger to this book, he had a general understanding of the entire storyline on TV when he was a child, and after he went to college, he was a history major, and at the request of the old professor, he also roughly browsed it in the library. In addition, Chen Chufan has the ability to never forget, so he is naturally familiar with its content.
But Chen Chufan watched it with relish at this time, he only felt that this "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was worthy of being one of the four ancient masterpieces of country Z, and every time he read it, he could taste a different feeling. The most important thing is that every time he reads this book, his favorite person in his heart is different.
When watching TV series when he was a child, Chen Chufan's favorite role in the Three Kingdoms must be Guan Yu, who is undoubtedly affectionate and strong, with a large sword in one hand, there are eighteen patterns of dancing tigers and tigers, plus that thick beard. It is completely in line with the image of the hot-blooded hero in the heart of the teenager, and he naturally admires it.
But when Chen Chufan grew up, went to middle school, and gradually came into contact with more knowledge, when he read about the Three Kingdoms, Chen Chufan began to admire Zhuge Liang again. With a wave of his hand, the canopy was wiped out, what an ancient Chinese intellectual, now it is definitely a postdoctoral figure, the goal of a headhunting company, and a sought-after item for the world's top 500 companies!
But when Chen Chufan was older, admitted to university, and exposed to more realities, Chen Chufan realized that in fact, heroes like Cao Cao were successful people in modern society.
You said that Guan Yu is righteous. Strong skills? In the present, it is the life of a part-time thug for a younger brother, and it is likely to be a temporary worker, the kind who has to bear the black pot if something goes wrong; You said that Zhuge Kong was wise and incomparable, and he counted the hearts of the people. At best, he is a senior staff member, and in today's words, he is just a senior secretary, usually writing manuscripts for the leader, and accepting the leader's dispatch to occasionally go out on a small errand. What's more, he still assists Uncle Liu Huang, who always feels a little hypocritical, and likes to throw his son to win people's hearts, plus his son Adou, who can't be supported. This is completely a representative figure of a smart person who can't understand people clearly, and a wise but foolish person.
And Cao Cao is different, he is now the CEO of the company, and he is rich and handsome by standard. What they do is the work of taking charge of the overall situation and commanding people. And all the ideas based on interests, hypocrisy when hypocrisy, ruthlessness when should be ruthless, is simply a model of successful people in reality now, this is the absolute success of the two idols, there is wood?
However, when reading the Three Kingdoms this time, the characters that Chen Chufan admired the most were none of the above, but a tragic character in the book, Zhou Yu and Zhou Da. Although this Zhou Gongjin was pressed to death by Zhuge Liang in the book, in the eyes of Chen Chufan now, this Zhou commander actually has a lot of bright spots.
For example, he is handsome, and even won the nickname of "Mei Zhou Lang", for example, he is proficient in music and rhythm, and there is still a folk proverb of "the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu", a dignified general, even the music is also played, and now it is also a famous figure in the music industry, absolutely both civil and military, more important than Zhuge Liang can only dance and ink, and more importantly, this general also has a beautiful wife Xiao Qiao, the two live a happy life in harmony, unlike Lord Kong Ming, who is said to have a very ugly wife, So I made a wooden ox and a horse to sleep in my arms every day.
In addition, Zhou Yu's wife is also the sister of Zhou Yu's boss's wife, and through the relationship of this wife, she is also invisibly related to her own boss.
Well, in fact, these are not important, the most important thing is that Chen Chufan feels that he is actually quite similar to Zhou Yu now, for example, the two of them are actually quite handsome, and their martial arts value is quite high, and they are both proficient in music and rhythm, although Chen Chufan is not officially married, but he thinks that neither Han Xiaoxi nor Ye Siying will be worse than Xiao Qiao. Except for the fact that this Zhou Da Commander died too early, the others are really very similar!
Thinking about it this way, Chen Chufan even felt that if he returned to the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely be another Zhou Yu! What a sense of substitution! Therefore, Chen Chufan has already regarded this tragic character who sighed "Yu and He Shengliang" as the best actor in the novel of the Three Kingdoms in his mind, and there is no one.
At this time, Chen Chufan was flipping through the links of the "Battle of Red Cliffs", and Zhou Yu, as the commander of this war, naturally had a lot of shots, which made Chen Chufan even more fascinated. In the book, Zhuge Liang is trying to persuade Zhou Yu to send troops to resist Cao, and this Mr. Kong Ming is stimulating the commander of Zhou, chanting the poem "Pick up the second Qiao in the southeast, and enjoy the day and night", and frankly said that this is Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi's poem in "Tongquetai Fu", as for why he wrote it like this, it was naturally to please his old son.
In Kong Ming's mouth, Cao Cao became a womanizer who had long been thinking about Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's beauty.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was naturally furious, stood up and pointed to the north and scolded: "The old thief deceives people too much!" I'm at odds with the old thief! "Also, any man who learns that his wife is actually lusted by another man, and he is still an old man, naturally he will not be in a good mood.
But when Chen Chufan saw this paragraph, the grievance in his heart was indescribable. You must know that at this time, Chen Chufan has completely substituted himself into the identity of Zhou Yu, and Chen Chufan, who is familiar with history books and has never forgotten it, remembers very well that the Battle of Chibi was in the thirteenth year of Jian'an. And Tongquetai was built two years later in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was wronged, and Chen Chufan clearly remembered that Cao Zhi's "Tongquetai Fu" did not have such a sentence at all.
Although he regretted that Zhou Yu was deceived by Zhuge Liang's dishonest guy again, Chen Chufan still admired Zhou Yu's reaction. Chong Guan was angry, but if he was bewitched by such a cunning person, Chen Chufan felt that he might be as angry as Zhou Yu.
In this way, while reading this book of the Three Kingdoms depressedly, while feeling sorry for Zhou Yu, Chen Chufan suddenly felt moved in his heart. Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu, what a good love story, isn't this the creative material he has been looking for?
From history. There are handsome guys, beautiful women, lies, true feelings, scheming, blood, and the most important thing is that the protagonist is very similar to himself, it's just perfect, right? This made Chen Chufan instantly decide to write a song about the love between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, and he even made up the scene in his mind when Zhou Yu led the army to say goodbye to Xiao Qiao. I immediately had the urge to pick up a pen and write words.
Buddhists call Chen Chufan's state at this time an epiphany after gradual cultivation. But as a musician, Chen Chufan just felt that the inspiration that made him feel happy had floated again.
So he quickly picked up the pen and paper, and in just a few minutes, a rather ancient lyric was created under Chen Chufan's hands.
"I've been looking for it several times in my life. When I was straightened up, I found that you had long hair and waist. Once fate knots a rope, I will wait for it all my life. In one life, you can only be serious once. After checking the eyes, I met the right person. I swung my sword and turned around, and the blood was like a red lip, and the hero was angry and red, and the good bow and light horse rushed forward, just to be able to keep your face. I confirmed the eyes, I met the right person, I rode a horse to the expedition, the sound of horses' hooves ran like tears, the moonlight on the bluestone slab entered this mountain city, I followed all the way, you reincarnated, I have a deep affection for you. ”
"The long ditch has been silent, thousands of miles of smoke and water, you ask, who is the sound of war drums on the other side, I take a jar of alcohol to drink hatred, your thousand-year-old eyes, it is me, drunk and fell into the scars of the red cliff. After confirming the eyes, I met the right person, I swung my sword and turned around, and the blood was like red lips, the hero was angry and red, and the good bow and light horse rushed forward, just to be able to keep your face. I confirmed the eyes, I met the right person, I rode a horse to the expedition, the sound of horses' hooves ran like tears, the moonlight on the bluestone slab entered this mountain city, I followed all the way, you reincarnated, I have a deep affection for you. ”
After writing it, he read the lyrics twice with the lyrics in his hand, and Chen Chufan nodded with satisfaction. As for the whole song, the song was written a few days ago, and even the arrangement work has been done, and now the lyrics are perfect, which means that his album is basically complete.
This naturally made Chen Chufan feel very good, you must know that in order to write the lyrics of this song, Chen Chufan had already stuffed himself in the studio and read history books for two days in a row, and he even felt a little moldy all over his body. So he stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and took two deep breaths.
Just as he felt a sense of relief and was about to sit down at the piano and try out this newly released single, the door of the studio suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked in naturally.
"Huh? Xiuqing, why are you here? Hah, wouldn't there be any good news for me? Chen Chufan, who was in a good mood, looked at the woman's beautiful face and asked relaxedly.
"What good news do you want? Well, by the way, why didn't you hold your history book today? Could it be that the lyrics have already been written? Su Xiuqing, who walked in the door, asked, the girl came to Hong Kong Island again two weeks ago.
"Well, it's written, it's on the table, how about you take a look?" Chen Chufan nodded with a smile and stretched out his finger to the manuscript paper on the workbench.
Su Xiuqing stepped forward, picked up the manuscript written by the man, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Well, it's pretty good, have you thought of the song title?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Chufan pondered for a moment before he spoke: "This is the inspiration I got when I watched the Battle of Chibi of the Three Kingdoms, why don't you call it Drunken Chibi?" ”
"I've made sure I've met the right person! I love this one! After Su Xiuqing nodded noncommittally, she suddenly said, her eyes staring at Chen Chufan's eyes even more boldly. The hot eyes made Chen Chufan throb for a while.
"Haha, that, do you want to hear it? Why don't I try it out for you now? Chen Chufan did not respond positively to the girl's words, and quickly changed the topic.
Su Xiuqing didn't speak, just shrugged her eyebrows and nodded quietly. (To be continued......)
