PS: After reading it, don't forget to give a recommendation ticket, and ask for another collection, thank you very much!
"So you know me, I thought I wasn't famous enough just now!" Jay Chou scratched his head, he had a very straightforward personality, but he was a little shy, which made Nie Zirun feel very good.
"Hehe, my name is Nie Zirun. I've heard your music, especially "Quiet", and in your words, the piano is great, and the music is even better! "In the face of people he has a good impression of, Nie Zirun has always been very open-minded, and at this moment he is especially casual and friendly, because they have a common hobby: music.
"You're not from Treasure Island, are you?" Jay asked.
"Well, I'm from Jinling, and I'm here to take a vacation in Treasure Island, but there is still one day tomorrow, and my vacation is coming to an end!" Nie Zirun replied.
"Do you want to go to my place? I've got a piano for you! Jay Chou seemed very urgent, because he really wanted to hear the full version of the music composed by Nie Zirun.
"I don't have a problem, if it's convenient for you." Nie Zirun was very crisp.
Jay Chou took out a baseball cap and put it on, took out a pair of light-colored sunglasses and put it on the bridge of his nose, smiled, pointed to his face, made a very helpless expression, and then waved his hand to signal Nie Zirun to go with him. Nie Zirun responded with an understanding smile, picked up his backpack, followed Jay Chou, and walked out of the café that was about to close.
Jay Chou drove Nie Zirun to the hotel to check out, and then returned home directly. Walking into Jay Chou's musical instrument room, the room is equipped with a lot of musical instruments, piano, guitar, drum kit, bass, violin, cello...... No less than ten musical instruments. Nie Zirun looked at this and touched that, looking very interested.
"Will it be? Feel free to sit. Jay asked, pointing to these instruments.
"For the time being, I will know piano and guitar, piano is what I am best at, and guitar has just been learned!" Nie Zirun was very calm and had nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Your piano is really good, it has a soul, it's super **, it's better than me to play, that café is owned by my friend, and I often go there to find some musical inspiration." Sitting on the floor of the instrument room, Jay Chou chatted casually, "Are you hungry?" Let me tell you, my somen noodles are top-notch, why don't you have a bowl, I happen to be a little hungry too. Very few people can eat the noodles I cook! ”
Nie Zirun felt Jay Chou's casualness and friendliness, he also liked Jay Chou's straightforwardness, and gradually let go of his guard, and the competitive spirit in his bones began to emerge again, and smiled: "My cooking skills are also good, let's go with you, compare?" Nie Zirun winked playfully.
In the kitchen, when Jay Chou saw the flowing knife work, he completely gave up his noodles, and turned into an audience squatting on the side to watch Nie Zirun's performance, pinching a few shredded potatoes with his hands, and found that the length, width and thickness were the same, and he couldn't help but look at Nie Zirun like a monster, in his thinking, he couldn't cut it out if he was killed.
In just over half an hour, two bowls of rice, a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers, a plate of mushu meat, and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup with green onions floating on the table were neatly stacked on the dining table.
"Coo-dong", Jay Chou swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, "Today I dug up a treasure, it's very attractive to watch!" ”
"Hehe, eat, Brother Jaylen, next time I have a chance, I'll cook you a Chinese feast!" After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and ate them.
A simple Chinese supper quickly shortened the distance between the two people, and the rapid accumulation of feelings made it seem like an old friend who had not seen each other for more than ten years.
After eating, he returned to the instrument room, Nie Zirun stroked the swarthy grand piano and sighed kissingly: "Steinway G-155? Produced at the Hamburg plant in Germany. I wish there was a piano like this. ”
"Hehe, I had a lot of blood for this piano, and it cost me more than four million, or more than one million in RMB. Every time I play it, I feel like I'm trickling in, as if musical inspiration is coming at any moment. Go up and try it? Jay Chou raised his chin and gestured to Nie Zirun.
Nie Zirun sat in front of the piano, closed his eyes, brewing emotions, and after a while, his hands touched the keys, and it was still "Canon". But Jay Chou on the side couldn't help but close his eyes, fascinated. After playing a song, the aftermath lingered, and the two glanced at each other and smiled tacitly. Jay Chou gave a thumbs up and said, "This is the best "Canon" I've heard!" ”
"Zirun, try to finish the song you just played in the café, I'm looking forward to it!" Jay Chou began to urge.
"Oh, I'll try it, there are a few subsections in it, I haven't been sure, why don't you give me some advice?" Nie Zirun was very modest and humbly asked for advice.
The two discussed warmly, Jay Chou gave a few comments from time to time, and Zirun kept playing and trying, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, and the new song was constantly being completed and mellowed. Before you know it, a touch of fish belly white has appeared in the sky.......
"It's finally finished, Zirun, hurry up and do it all over!" Jay Chou urged eagerly, without the slightest tiredness on his excited face.
Nie Zirun was also very excited at the moment, he finally completed the creation of the first song in his life. Fingers beating, the complete new song began to flow in the instrument room, the elegant and simple Chinese music style, easily infected the two, in front of the eyes of the two, like a hazy Jiangnan ink landscape, between the sprouts of the water and clouds, you can vaguely see the Yiren in white clothes, nepotism flying; It is also like a plain heart note written by the window at the end of the pen, and the twists and turns of the pen are only because the heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots; It is more like a mountain spring stream flowing quietly in the breeze, cold and translucent and winding loop, with many endless meanings. The three are superimposed, the melody is more simple and elegant, washed away with lead, fresh and smooth.
After playing the song, Jay Chou was excited, "Great, Zirun, I have a hunch that it will be popular, and it will definitely be popular...... Can you give me this song, I'll find Fang Wenshan to write the lyrics for it, I will definitely not bury it! Both hands involuntarily grabbed Nie Zirun's sleeves.
Jay Chou then discovered his gaffe and became embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm excited, but Zirun, you must seriously consider my request." ”
"Hehe, Brother Jaylen, this piece was completed by us together, you also have credit, without your help, I may not be able to finish him, since you like it so much, take it!" Nie Zirun was also very excited in his heart, seeing that Jay Chou liked this new song so much, he thought about the beauty of adults.
"It's different!" Jay Chou suddenly said with a serious face, "The music industry has the rules of the music industry, the inspiration and conception of this song come from you, although I made a few suggestions, but in the end it is you who make the decision, you own the copyright of this song, I don't deny that I like it, but it doesn't mean that I can claim to be a creator." ”
"Copyright?" Nie Zirun was stunned, although he knew that every song had copyright, but suddenly the copyright matter involved him for the first time, and he couldn't help but be at a loss. "So what do I do, Brother Jaylen?"
Seeing that Nie Zirun did not refuse the copyright of this song again, Jay Chou breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Zirun, you and I can say that we are familiar at first sight, but friendship is friendship, and we must not break the rules." If you trust me, I will draft a copyright authorization letter for you on this song, you can sign it, and then you will own the copyright income of this song! After speaking, he suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Not bad!" With the future proceeds of this song, you can definitely buy a Steinway G-155! I'm optimistic about you, are you interested in making music with me? ”
"Brother Jaylen, not for the time being, I'm still a soldier!" Nie Zirun replied.
"Ouch, you're still a soldier! I really can't see it, so when you are discharged from the army in the future, you must come to me! Jay Chou was a little surprised, "Let's sort out the score at hand first, and then go to my studio to record a piano version of the pure music demo!" ”
Nie Zirun nodded, followed Jay Chou, and started the finishing work, watching Jay Chou skillfully and orderly, systematically making music, I couldn't help but have a trace of yearning in my heart: Maybe I will retire in the future, and it will be really good to be a musician!
Came to No. 149, Section 2, Minsheng East Road, TB, which is Jay Chou's current Alpha Music Records, in the company, Nie Zirun, who was following Jay Chou, looked curious and visited around.
Walking to a door, Jay Chou said, "This is my studio, come in!" We hurry up and get hungry again......" After saying that, he plunged into it.
Jay Chou and Nie Zirun Cat recorded over and over again in the studio, both of them are picky, excellence-seeking personalities, a piece of pure music, and they have been busy all morning, and when they finished work, Jay Chou's face began to turn a little pale.
"Zirun, let's eat, let's talk first, I'm in for a treat, a future musical talent, to celebrate the birth of your first masterpiece!" Jay Chou smiled and said, "My confidence in this song is getting more and more, if you have any good songs in the future, remember to find me." By the way, do you have contact information? How can I contact you if I have some copyright questions? ”
Nie Zirun thought for a while, and casually wrote an email address on the paper, "Brother Jaylen, if there is anything, contact us by email, and I will check it regularly." As he spoke, he raised the mobile phone in his hand, "You know, this thing is controlled in the army!" ”
"Alright then!" Jay Chou took Nie Zirun's contact information and said, "I know there is a good place to eat, the taste is amazing, I will take you to appetize it today." After speaking, he hooked Nie Zirun's shoulder and walked out...
Happy times are always fleeting, in a blink of an eye, Nie Zirun has returned to the Longteng base from the treasure island, after handing over the task, the compact and high-intensity military camp life, and set sail again, remembering the experience in the treasure island, Nie Zirun reminisced alone: "It seems that I have to find time to learn the guitar!" ”
