370《don't -kno -hy》

Hanging up the phone, Chen Beiming pondered for more than a minute.

Then he stood up and exhaled softly.

"Alright! Since Anna is so promising, then—then you have to get her! ”

After a while, Chen Beiming turned around and found Anna, who was talking to the agent in a low voice in the lounge.

Knock knock.

Chen Beiming knocked on the door and walked in.

"Anna, let's have a good talk." Chen Beiming sat down and said.

"Okay." Anna nodded, her blue eyes looking at Chen Beiming without blinking.

"First of all, I want to state again that I don't think you're fit for the Jazz." Chen Bei Ming Dao.

"No, Chen, I'm suitable!" Anna immediately objected.

Chen Beiming looked at Anna quietly.

Anna didn't show weakness and looked back without blinking.

"Okay, so I'll change the question, Anna, if you only have two choices right now, one is to become the most famous pop singer in the world, and the other is to become your unknown jazz singer, which one will you choose?"

Anna shook her head: "No, I will definitely become a famous jazz singer." ”

Chen Beiming interrupted, and asked with a sharp look in his eyes: "Anna, please listen to me first, let me ask you, I ask you very seriously, if you can only have two choices, first, become a famous pop singer in the world, and second, become a jazz singer who can only be unknown in the United States and the West, which one do you choose?" ”

Anna looked at Chen Beiming without blinking at first, but after a while, she withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.

Chen Beiming emphasized again: "The first option, you can be world-famous, the second option, you can stick to your dreams, but you can only be obscure, not to mention the whole world, that is, few of you in the United States and the West will know you, which of the two choices, which one do you choose?" ”

Chen Beiming asked only one question, do you want to be famous, or do you really like jazz music, and only like jazz music, even if you are not famous?

Nowadays, jazz music is popular in the West of the United States, and many musicians instinctively think that jazz seems to be higher than pop, so the first thought of many newcomers is that I want to do jazz too, but - but the question is, do you have this talent?

Anna was silent when she was asked by Chen Beiming, and after a full eighteen seconds, she raised her head: "Chen, if I have to choose one, I choose the first one, I want to become a well-known singer in the world." ”

Got it!

Chen Beiming's heart was stunned.

In fact, Anna doesn't like jazz music at all, she likes it to the core, what she likes is actually to become a well-known singer.

That's easy to do.

Chen Beiming no longer spoke, but stood up, walked out, and came in with a notebook and a pen.

After sitting down, he looked directly at Anna and said, "Okay, Anna, then let's do an experiment to see if you are suitable for jazz or pop?" ”

Anna hesitated a little, she looked at the agent, but finally she nodded, "Okay." ”

Chen Beiming held a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, looked at Anna with his eyes and asked, "Anna, if you are now a jazz singer, you want me to write a song for you, what kind of song do you want?" You say, I write. ”

Anna was stunned for a moment, and looked at her agent Jones, for a moment, she withdrew her gaze, thought for a moment, and then raised her head and said: "Then you can write me a song with a soft melody, well, preferably a little melancholy, oh yes, I hope you can use don't -kno-hy as the name of this song." ”

Chen Beiming was stunned.

Anna turned her head to meet Jones' eyes, and for a moment, an arc flashed from the corner of her lips.

This requirement is not ordinarily high, and it is also very harsh, the melody should be soft, the mood should be melancholy, and the title of the song is limited.

With such a high degree of difficulty, to tell the truth, both Anna and Dai Li felt that Chen Beiming could not be completed at once, and even if it was written, the quality would definitely be worrying.

But the two of them wanted to challenge Chen Beiming, to see what kind of level this person who was described by Dai Li as God's best masterpiece.

At the college student music festival a few days ago, they had already seen Chen Beiming's excellence, but after all, it was prepared in advance, and now it is verified on the spot.

They guessed correctly, Chen Beiming was stunned when he heard it, and then asked: "Are you sure you really want me to write such a song?" ”

"Yes." Anna nodded, the smile on her lips growing.

Chen Beiming objected to her singing jazz from the first time she saw her, which made her very unhappy, so she also wanted to make Chen Beiming unhappy.

Now it seems that her goal is about to be achieved.

"After a while her work was written, Jones and I harshly pointed out the shortcomings, or mistakes, and at that time, I didn't dare to tell me to stop playing jazz." Anna thought excitedly.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, whether it was her Anna or Jones, neither of them spoke, but just looked at Chen Beiming together, while Chen Beiming stood up, clasped his hands, and gently paced in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

After a full seventy-eight seconds, Chen Beiming turned around.

He didn't speak, he just walked back and sat down, picked up the pen, picked up the notebook, and wrote in a hurry.

Anna's eyelids jumped, she stood up suddenly, and then looked at Jones, the other party was also startled, the two of them quickly stood up, and then walked behind Chen Beiming together, leaning over to watch him write.

Chen Beiming's writing speed is very fast, although it is written in English, but it is like a smooth flow, and soon, a work called "Don't -Kno -Hy" is freshly baked.

Chen Beiming quickly handed the notebook to Anna: "Anna, this is a very good, world-class jazz work, you can take a look at it now, can you see if you can sing her to a world-class level?" ”

This song written by Chen Beiming is a classic jazz masterpiece of Norah-Jones, a landmark song in the development of jazz in the 80s, and has been included in the high school music curriculum. There is no doubt about the excellence of this song.

So, now, the question is, Chen Beiming has written world-class jazz music works, so, don't you Anna think that she is a jazz genius, then you can sing and see if you can sing at a world-class level?

But after Chen Beiming handed the notebook out, Anna didn't reach out to pick it up for half a day.

She froze.

Jones was also stunned.

The hearts of both of them are shattered, and their worldview has collapsed!

"Oh God, how did Chen do that? Seventy-eight seconds, only seventy-eight seconds, how could he write such a classic work? Oh my God—"
