Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sky Is High and the Earth is Thick
In the eyes of many people, Yu Wenle is better at writing, and writing songs is more of a side hustle. And it organizes entertainment companies to make music and release music as one of the company's business operations, which is indeed a bit nonsense.
Even if Li Wenjie is in charge of the company, those who know Li Wenjie know that the former guitarist of the Flying Leopards has some ability to make music, but what he is better at is making music from the Zuò rock series.
After retiring from the music scene so far, his creative ability also needs to be tested. The position of general manager undoubtedly shows that Li Wenjie will focus more on administrative management than music in the company in the future.
The artist director of the new music and culture company is Yu Wenle, and the band members who signed the contract are not from professional backgrounds. To be exact, this is a bunch of amateur rock lovers. Is it possible for such a group of people to be recognized?
Along with these news, some reporters posted them on the Internet, and there are indeed many people who ridicule Yu Wenle on the Internet. Thinking that he had written a few songs and been recognized, he dared to form a rock band.
Even now, the rock market has declined, but in the eyes of many people, rock and roll is still supreme. It's just that in recent years, there are too few original rock songs, and there are no bands that can really carry the banner of rock and roll.
Today's rock bands have mostly become professional performance teams for commercial performances. Even if there are entertainment companies that have released rock records. But many rock fans feel that the rock songs released by these bands are still not satisfactory.
In the face of these doubts on the Internet, Yu Wenle, who was the first single of their band, finally chose this rock song from a different time and space 'The sky is high and the earth is thick'.
Looking at the song sheet in his hand, Lei Ming said impulsively: "Wen Shao, can we try it first?" ”
'Absolutely!' But what I want to say is that the first part of this song is your personal solo. In the latter part, you need to sing openly. So, you all have to figure out the melody of this song. ’
Qin Wencheng, who was a drummer, said with surprise on his face: "Wen Shao, we also want to sing?" ”
For Qin Wencheng's surprise, Yu Wenle nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, the high-pitched part will be handed over to Lei Ming." You sing those melodies that are relatively simple. As a drummer, you don't dare to sing a song or two, do you? ”
A sentence or two, it's still fine! ’
Listening to Qin Wenchang's relieved answer, Yu Wenle also smiled and said: "This is our first single beyond the band, it has extraordinary significance for you, for the company and even for your fans in the future."
Therefore, when composing songs, the lyrics and melodies in front of them can be sung by anyone with some singing skills. The high-pitched part of the whole song was handed over to Lei Ming to be in charge of singing. With his ability, he can still play it.
Again, I'll leave the singing to the performance, and the songwriting to me. At least I hope that the name we have chosen together will make it live up to its name. Surpass our teachers, have confidence? ”
Li Wenjie, who heard this, said with a smile: "You kid, you want to surpass the teacher so much!" However, the melody of this song is really good, and it is a rare rock classic. Thundering, take the song sheet, try it first! ”
'Good! Brothers, get up and practice! ’
Holding the freshly baked song score, everyone first tried to play it. Even if it was thundering, he hummed a few words softly. For him, it was the first step to becoming a professional rock singer, and he cared more about the song than anyone else.
As the only audience, Teng Siyuan also said with interest: "Wenle, I didn't expect you to be so talented in writing songs. Rock songs, good works that can move people's hearts nowadays, are really rare. ”
'Okay, we don't count what we said, and the fans will know until they hear it! Since you're here, let's give a review of this song later! To be honest, this is the first time I've written a song like this, and I'm still a little empty in my heart! ’
Looking at Yu Wenle's low voice, Teng Siyuan also felt that this roommate was quite interesting. Previously, in front of the company's artists, he seemed to be very talented as an artist director. But now, it shows the lively side that young people should have.
Accompanied by the melody of the song score that everyone is familiar with, Lei Ming, who stood in front of the singing microphone, said with a serious expression: "Brothers, how is it?" If you're familiar with it, let's try to practice together, shall we? ”
'OK, no problem on my side!' ’
Even if they are not from a professional class, these people have many years of performance experience in the instruments they are responsible for. With the complete sheet music provided by Bunraku, they are relatively quick to get acquainted with.
Hearing that everyone said OK, Lei Ming nodded at drummer Qin Wencheng, and the rest of the band members were ready. After a gentle tap, the band's first joint singing began.
As the lead singer, Lei Ming also quietly closed his eyes and contained feelings, until the prelude appeared and opened his mouth: "
You are tired and you can't stretch out your hands
How can you clench your fists if you want to hug
We still have a lot of dreams to live on
There's still a lot to go tomorrow
Let the world hear our song"
This melody, for Lei Ming, does not have any problems. As a music creator, Yu Wenle still nodded with satisfaction, even Li Wenjie felt that the young people recommended by these old friends were good.
'Be prepared to have no time and not look back
You don't have to have any reason to want to fly
No matter how lonely the end of the world is
You must have me by your side
We said it doesn't matter how high the sky is.
With the first treble and transposition appearing, Yu Wenle frowned slightly. He knew that there was still a mistake in this place. But in the treble part, Lei Ming still grasped it in place, but there was a little problem with the transposition.
Noting this mistake, Yu Wenle did not interrupt everyone's first joint practice. Teng Siyuan, who had been standing next to him, was very keen to see Yu Wenle frowning. This made him think, could it be that this singer is singing wrong? But he's feeling pretty good!
'I want to fly to the highest, farthest, and most free
Want to hug at the most beautiful moment
I want to see who is my friend to the end
You're the one I'm looking forward to the most'
The melody of this lyric undoubtedly fully demonstrates Lei Ming's soprano talent, and Yu Wenle is generally satisfied with the singing of this paragraph. In terms of emotional grasp, he felt that Lei Ming handled it relatively well.
'You can get into trouble together, be silent together, and walk together
You can fly together and fall together
No matter how high the sky is, stay with me
Roar loudly with me
I want to soar to the highest, farthest, and most expansive
I want to finish singing the most touching song
I didn't see that day, and the high ground was thick and refused to let go
Because I have the friends I want
You're my most wanted friend'
After the last lyrics are sung, it seems to be a bit of a thunderous singing, and the treble that should have converged seems to have not converged very well. But no matter what, everyone's first joint practice is still very good in Bunraku.
In addition to paying attention to Lei Ming's singing, Yu Wenle also listened to the cooperation of others, and knew that in the process of accompaniment, everyone made some small mistakes. But this is the first time that we have practiced together, and it's already good to have such an effect.
Although it was a little unsatisfactory, Yu Wenle still gave everyone applause. Li Wenjie, who is a senior and general manager, and Teng Siyuan, who is standing next to Yu Wenle, applauded their face.
Even if there was only the applause of the three people, it still made Lei Ming feel excited. Compared to before, they only played other people's songs, but today is the first time in their lives, and they are a little excited to play their own songs!
