003 Sudden Divine Comedy
People sometimes look for things like this, how to find them when they don't usually need them, and how to find them when they really need to use them.
He Ma crossed his hands to his chest and sat there thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a suitable one.
Oiwagawa Hou Yi probably felt that there would be no results today, so he said, "Why don't we wait for tomorrow...... Or come and disturb Mr. Kiryu the day after tomorrow, Tokyo University should be on vacation, right? I can apply for a special grant from Saten, who is in charge of this, so that the teacher can go to Otaru or some other place to soak in the hot springs while thinking. ”
Hema was still thinking and meditating, but when he heard the special funds, he came to his senses: "Okay, can I take my sister and apprentices with me?" ”
"No problem, although we have not yet made a national-level work, we have sufficient funds."
Before Da Iwagawa Hou finished speaking, Teacher Da Zhang sneered: "It's because I haven't cultivated my own national-level singer yet, so I have to spend a lot of effort to win people over." ”
"Teacher Da Zhang, don't you say it." Superintendent Yamada smiled wryly and played the round.
Oiwagawa Houichi: "Then let's go back first, and then ...... when the funds come down."
"Don't! Don't rush to go! Kazuma stopped Oiwakawa who was about to stand up, "I've got inspiration, you wait a minute." ”
Oiwagawa and the others looked at each other.
Although Oiwagawa is not an artist, he has worked with many artists, and he has the impression that artists are like people who have not ingested plant fiber for a long time, and it is very difficult.
He doesn't believe that Hema can come to a national song on the spot, even if Hema really makes it, it is mostly a mediocre utilitarian work.
However, Oiwagawa still has a little hope, because Kazuma's knowledge of music theory is basically zero, so he can't be utilitarian.
Composers from other music universities can also make up tunes with skills, and Hema should not have this ability.
Oiwagawa Houichi, who knew this well, looked at Kazuma with an expression of half doubt and half expectation.
The other two look like they are waiting for a long insight, they are both literary and artistic workers from professional backgrounds, and they know what is going on with difficult births.
On the horse side, I was stimulated by the special funds just now, and my thinking became active.
He first thought of the famous animated song "Have You Ever Remember Love", but immediately rejected this option by himself, because this song was out of the circle as an animated song, and achieved more dazzling results in animated songs, but it did not reach the point of "national hit song".
Then Kazuma thought of Sakai Spring's "Don't Admit Defeat", the popularity is definitely enough, and the age of the song is only ten years away from now, and the style of the song will not be too advanced.
But the problem is that the background of this song is that the bubble is bursting, Japan has entered the "lost decade", and the psychological gap between the people in the face of broken dreams overnight is too large.
is a bit similar to Liu Huan's "Start Again" without a neck, the success of these songs is certainly because they are excellent in themselves, but the needs of historical development undoubtedly play a greater role.
Is Japan on the rise? Incomparable prosperity in all walks of life? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to have a song "Don't Admit Defeat".
Although another one is denied? But the idea is active and the horse is hesitant and ambitious? I firmly believe that today I must be able to think of whose wool to pick.
He looked at each other with the three people in front of him, and their expressions were very subtle.
Superintendent Yamada asked with a mouth shape, "Kiryu-sensei, what's wrong?" ”
Teacher Da Zhang spread his hands, and Da Iwagawa Hou shook his head and signaled the two of them not to talk and just wait and see.
Harumu Shiramine looked at Kazuma with anticipation, and she seemed to fully believe that Kazuma could come up with a great work.
On the Kazuma side, she just set her sights on the woman who has fed half of the Chinese music scene, Miyuki Nakajima since her debut? The famous songs he created are constantly covered.
Teresa Teng's famous song "Walking on the Road of Life" is covered by Miyuki Nakajima's "Good at Alone"? What's interesting is that the Cantonese version of the lyrics is deliberately filled in with the exact opposite meaning of the original song? It's also a good story.
The first thing that came to mind was naturally Miyuki Nakajima's "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon", which he was too familiar with, because Fan Weiqi's cover of "The First Dream" was popular all over the country.
At that time, he and Ma just happened to review the college entrance examination, and every day the school radio station played "The First Dream" like chicken blood? It's almost PTSD with horses.
Make up your mind with a horse? Okay, just copy "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon"!
But before he could start performing, a worried voice popped up in his head: Although Grandma Miyuki is a singer-songwriter who has been making a name for herself in the Japanese music scene since the 70s? But how can you guarantee that the songs she wrote in 2003 will definitely conform to the aesthetics of this era?
People evolve too.
Let's change some of Grandma Miyuki's early works.
"Good at Being Alone" seems to have come out last year? This year, according to Hema's memory, it's time for "Wicked Girl", maybe the score has been written and I'm making a matching, and even if I can copy the same one now, even if I can really come out before the release of "Wicked Girl" in October, it will cause a lot of criticism.
It's just that Grandma Miyuki's early songs and horses don't pay much attention, except for these two songs, I don't remember anything else, others like "Stars on the Earth" are all works of the 21st century.
Kazuma felt that the excitement of the special budget was fading, and the requirement to conform to the popular style of the times was too restrictive.
"Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" will definitely be popular if it is copied now, after all, the song is really good and can be remembered by people over and over again.
But it is not a popular genre now, and capitalists will not spend money when they hear it and think it sounds good, and they specifically ask for it to be written in line with the current popular style.
What is popular now are the sweet Showa love songs, as well as disco and vaporwave.
Kazuma scratched the back of his head and glanced at Oiwagawa Houichi.
Oiwagawa Hou had an expression of "I really can't get out", sighed, and was about to speak-
At this moment, Kazuma suddenly thought of a person, a song.
- I can copy Kazumasa Oda's "Sudden Love Story"!
This song catches up with the last tail of the bubble era, and the style of music is also appropriate, very suitable, it can be said to be a collection of sweet love songs of the times.
Kazuma looked like a stunned face, smiling like a mentally retarded person, staring at Oiwagawa Houichi.
Oiwagawa Houichi was a little confused: What's the matter, driving Kiryu teacher crazy? That can't be beaten to death for his female apprentices who are full of martial virtues, can I still go out of the door of this dojo?
Kazuma: "There it is! ”
The Marquis of Oiwagawa didn't react for a while: "Who has it?" ”
"Me!"
"Congratulations, congratulations?"
Kazuma clapped his hands vigorously: "Amao! Bring the piano! ”
"People go to school!" Qingliu rolled her eyes, "I'll get it for you." Why don't you use mine? ”
"No, no, I'm going to play on my piano!" Kazuma now suddenly shows his persistence as an artist.
Qingliu clicked towards the door of the dojo, and then heard the sound of people eavesdropping outside the door running around.
That knock knock footsteps, no need to ask, it's Mikako.
Qingliu brushed and opened the door, and Jinguji Yuzao just came over with Kazuma's qin: "Do you want a piano?" ”
"Yes, thank you." Qingliu took the piano and was about to close the door, but was pressed under the sliding door by Tamamo's foot.
"Everyone's tea is almost cold, I'll change it right away."
Kazuma: "No, no, it's so hot, it's just right to drink cold." ”
As he spoke, the fan shook its head in his direction, and the wind blowing his hair in third gear.
"I see." Tamamo retracted her feet and smiled at the crowd.
Haruru closed the door, came to Wama with the piano case, and opened it on the ground.
The moment they saw the piano, Supervisor Yamada and Mr. Ohaki both gasped.
"Teacher Kiryu is so generous, this piano costs four or five million." Yamada supervisor was speechless, "I heard from the producer of Oiwagawa that Kiryu-sensei is more financially embarrassed, and it seems that he ......"
"You're mistaken, this is a gift from the owner of Earth House." And Ma explained.
"Earth House...... Is it the Earth House? Teacher Da Zhang was so shocked that his pupils shrank, "That old man with an iron rooster, so generous?" ”
Qingliu said to the three of them very proudly: "My master's guitar was brought to the door by my uncle." ”
Oiwagawa and the others looked at each other.
He Ma thought to himself, sure enough, the music industry circle is very small, and the prestige of the old man is used here.
With the help of Qingliu, he memorized the piano well, and then said to the three of them: "I have just learned guitar for a week, and I have no vocal training, so I can only show you the meaning, and I will include a lot." ”
Da Zhang smiled slightly: "It's all professional here, we can understand." ”
Kazuma nodded, and was about to start, when suddenly he thought of something again, turned his head and shouted to the door of the dojo: "Eggs!" Here you go! ”
Tamamo brushed open the door, as if she hadn't left the door all along: "What's wrong?" ”
"Come here, sit here, and give me a beat."
Tamamo immediately came over and sat down in the position of the horse's finger.
Kazuma: "You just follow the rhythm of dong, cha, dong, cha." ”
"I see."
The Marquis of Oiwagawa looked at Yuzao with wide eyes, today Yuzao wore an off-the-shoulder long dress, completely dressed as a young lady who came out to go out, and Ma actually asked her to sit next to her and be responsible for beating the beat.
Has the beauties of Kiryu Dojo been inflated to this point?
Oiwagawa Hou retracted his gaze, originally he wanted to praise Tamamo's beauty - it was etiquette to praise the beauty of the hostess.
But now, I always think it's a bit weird to praise a racket tool person.
Qingliu also memorized her guitar again: I'll give you a chorus later depending on the situation, and you can just sing it.
Kazuma nodded, took a deep breath, and plucked the strings.
It was the basic chord that Uncle Earth House taught him before, and he got the piano and practiced this chord with the horse these days.
He doesn't know if this chord is right for "Tokyo Love Story", but it's not impossible, only he knows how to sing that song, and sing it first.
Jinguji Tamamo waited for a round of the chord with the horse to join, and instead of beating the clap on the wooden floor with her hands, she sat there dignifiedly, making a knock sound like a drum kit with her mouth.
This made the eyes of Oiwagawa Hou and the others even more stunned when they looked at her.
And the horse began to sing.
He is not good at singing, that is, karaoke level.
But it is said that a really good song will be sung by ordinary people, and only Conan or Fat Tiger can destroy them.
Singing this song with horses, as well as the emotional bonus, for his generation, "Tokyo Love Story" is "the first Japanese drama for young people".
His grandfather's generation, because of a "Ah Navy", became very spiritual; His father's generation, because of a "Hunting", began to learn Du Qiu's coolness and regarded Mayumi as a goddess; By his generation, "Tokyo Love Story" produced the popular lover Rika Akana.
Playing with the strings and singing with the horse is like going back to the days when adults are not at home and secretly playing borrowed discs to watch Tokyo's love story.
When he entered the chorus, he remembered that after graduating from junior high school, he chartered a KTV, and everyone sang together in a loud chorus, waving goodbye to those ignorant feelings that could not be expressed.
Well, in fact, at that time, I also sang "The Girl Opposite", "Single Love Song" or something, but that didn't matter, the scene in Hema's mind now This "Sudden Love" is the absolute protagonist.
Where was that day and that moment / If I had never met you -
Kazuma glanced at Haruu, he was actually just a casual glance.
Qingru's face turned red, as if it could emit steam.
She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her blush, and ended up playing several wrong notes in a row.
This only adds a few different charms to this already very simple song.
**
Mikako and Honami were eavesdropping outside the door at this time, and at this time she let out a long sigh: "It's over, Honami, let's go have a lovelorn dinner." The lyrics look like this, it's hopeless. Let's go home with your luggage! ”
Honami: "Are you Zhu Bajie?" Divide your luggage throughout the day. ”
"It's all written! Even though I'm a musical idiot, I can tell that this song is going to be a hit, and when the time comes, it's actually a grand confession in front of the whole of Japan! ”
"So what?" Honami asked rhetorically, "Aren't you going to come to the dojo from now on and be an apprentice of Wama?" ”
"It's not ...... either."
"Moreover, it is not certain who this song is written for." Honami whispered.
**
And the horse here to sing a song.
He himself knew that his level was really not good, so he apologized after singing the last two notes: "I'm sorry, I'm really bad at singing, and my piano skills are not good, just listen to what you mean." ”
After talking to Ma, he found that the three people in front of him seemed to have seen Medusa's head hit by petrification magic, and their expressions were very consistent, their mouths were slightly open, and their brows seemed to be wrinkled, and they were frozen at that moment.
Oiwagawa Houyi obviously piled up toughness, and was the first to break free from the petrification effect: "OH MY GOD! ”
Listen to Kazuma, what's the matter, Japanese is no longer enough to express your shock, you have to borrow Dad's language?
Mr. Da Zhang also reacted at this time, he raised his hand and clapped it: "Garbage-like singing skills and a simple soundtrack can't hide the greatness of this song, I feel like you've written all the love songs for the next ten years!" ”
Indeed, this would have been the culmination of Japanese pop love songs of the eighties.
Thinking about it like this, he feels a little sorry for the current love song creators, regardless of whether history will end or not, anyway, the love songs of the 80s will end here.
Yamada was the last to end the petrification effect, and he also applauded: "It's really amazing, it's even more divine than I imagined, I won't believe it if I don't see it with my own eyes, I definitely won't believe it." Now I'm starting to believe that there really is a god of music, and you are his apostle. ”
Kazuma chuckled in his heart, his expression became serious, and he stared at Yamada Supervisor: "You say the god of music?" Are they active again? ”
Superintendent Yamada obviously didn't know the inside story of many things before, so he didn't understand why Kazuma was suddenly serious, and replied inexplicably: "It's been quite popular in the music circle recently, but it's more of a joke." But now I'm starting to think that it's not a joke, you're an apostle to the god of music, no, you can't be the one who came down to earth to manifest himself, right? ”
Kazuma looked serious: "I'm not." I'm just an insignificant amateur. ”
Mr. Da Zhang laughed: "What an amateur, do you say that you are forcing us 'professionals' to jump off the building?" ”
Oiwagawa Hou Yi was already thinking about specific things at this time: "Teacher Da Zhang can leave it to you, right?" I will try to get it out within today, and I will report to the special manager of Saten when I go back, and we will try to get a small sample and submit it to the board of directors at the end of the week.
"Kiryu-sensei, do you have any thoughts on the singer who sings the sample? As long as it's not our home, I can make an appointment! ”
Kazuma pointed at Haruu.
Superintendent Yamada shook his head: "This song is especially suitable for male voices, of course, girls are no problem interpreting it, but ...... Sure enough, Mr. Kiryu, the taste of what you sang just now is just right - although the singing skills are really bad. ”
"You don't have to emphasize again and again that I sing badly." Kazuma was speechless.
Qingliu: "I also think it's better to sing this song with a male voice, of course, I can also sing a female version, but it's definitely not the same flavor as a male voice." ”
And Ma Kan Qingliu said so, and there is no opinion. He thought about it and waited until he sang "Have You Ever Remembered Love" to Qingliu, and with the blessing of the aura of this song, as long as what he wrote was not too bad, it was estimated that he could sell it.
Oiwagawa Houichi: "Which of the male singers do you like more?" Of course, it can't be our home, those ironclad can't be invited. ”
Kazuma: "Do you know Kazumasa Oda?" ”
The three professionals listened to Kazuma's question and looked at each other.
Oiwagawa Houichi: "I'm not impressed. But I remember that we had a young man who played in a band, named Kazumasa Kobayashi, who was the lead singer of their band. ”
Kazuma thought to himself that it was probably him.
So he immediately made a decision: "Just ask him to sing." ”
Mr. Da Zhang asked suspiciously: "Can you ask the reason?" Who is this Oda Kazu? ”
- The original author...... But this can't be said.
"It's probably because my impression is confused," Kazuma shrugged, "I don't remember the singer's name when I listen to music, and I used to remember Matsuda Seiko." ”
"I see." Mr. Da Zhang accepted Kazuma's statement, "Then I'll go back and use my memory to pick up the score." ”
He Ma was shocked: "Can you pick up the score just by listening to it once?" ”
"Of course, I'm a professional." Mr. Da Zhang said confidently.
Oiwagawa Hou Yi stood up: "Then, let's take our leave, Kiryu-sensei took out the Divine Comedy, and we have to work hard!" ”
"Wait a minute!" And Ma stopped him, "Although the tune is written, but you release a single, you have to have two tunes on both sides, right?" ”
After entering the MP3 era in the 21st century, Kazuma once had a doubt: why do those Japanese "single" discs have two tunes when they are called singles?
Later, he Ma learned that this is a "rule of conduct" handed down from the era of tapes, and the tapes are two-sided, so the title song and accompaniment of the single tape are played on side A, and in turn there is a "send" song on side B.
Here and Ma deliberately emphasize that "there is another tune", what does it mean......
Oiwagawa Hou understood in a second: "Okay, special funds!" Wherever you want to go to the hot springs, just ask, let's book the best hotel in the area. ”
He Ma smiled: "How embarrassing it is, there are so many people in our dojo, there are only six apprentices, as well as my sister, as well as the helper Senior Sister Gao Jianze, and a tool man for the banquet, Hua Shanjun...... No, no, there are so many people, it's too expensive. ”
"We book a room directly for 20 people, and you can bring a few friends." Oiwagawa Hou said with a smile.
"Oh, tsk, it's hard to be gracious. That's a hassle for your company. Kazuma laughed.
"Don't bother, don't bother, we just want to thank you, now we can finally have a Japanese song that we can handle."
Kazuma thought to himself that it was yours, but I'm sorry for me.
Now the overseas part of Sauni Music, it is estimated that it is the same as in the memory of his life, it is already very awesome, not to mention that just signing Michael Jackson will take off.
But on the Japanese side, it still has to wait for its aces to gradually grow, and the 90s is the real power period.
Kazuma just did a little bit of work to advance this point in time a little bit.
"Well, then, we'll take our leave."
After Oiwagawa Houichi stood up, he bowed ninety degrees to Kazuma again.
Yamada's recording supervisor and Obari arranger did the same.
Jinguji Tamamo, who had just finished beating with ventriloquism and didn't speak, also stood up and guided the three of them towards the dojo gate.
There was another sound of knocking footsteps outside the door, and it was obvious that Mikako had just eavesdropped again.
Tamamo opened the door, and Nanjo Honami stood in the corridor outside the door, saluting the three of them: "Three of you go slowly." ”
"Oh, isn't this Miss Nanjo! You're here too, bring a good message to your brother for me. Said the producer of Oiwagawa.
He remembered that Honami's brother seemed to be married to a female anchor, and he was half of the entertainment industry.
"I will." Honami maintained her demeanor and responded with a smile, "My master's song has asked Mr. Oiwagawa to bother more." ”
"Definitely, definitely! Then I'll take my leave. Oiwagawa bowed to Honami, and then followed Tamamo out of the dojo.
Yamada and Ohari also saluted Honami in turn, and then hurriedly followed Oiwagawa.
As soon as the guest left, he stretched his horse and said, "Okay! Now I guess Qingliu has the tuition fee for your music high school. ”
Haruyu: "I think it's more than that. More money to buy an air conditioner, it's hot. ”
Kazuma looked at the fans who were still trying to dispel the heat in the dojo and nodded: "That makes sense, but when the royalties come, it is estimated that it will be next year." ”
Royalties in Japan are very wordy and have a long cycle, so in order to prevent creators from starving to death in the process of waiting for royalties, there are industry rules for publishers to pay a part of the royalties in advance.
Honami entered the dojo and sat down next to Kazuma: "Why don't you wait for the prepaid royalties to come, and get an air conditioner first?" Next year, when Haruyu is going to music high school, the first batch of royalties is almost there. Sauni's side attaches so much importance to Hema, and will definitely complete the process as soon as possible. ”
"Who knows," Kazuma shrugged, "just in case, let's save it first." Anyway, I can go on a trip to the hot springs soon, and watch me stay for two weeks to cool off. When your hot spring trip is over, head to your island villa for another vacation! Your island villa is air-conditioned, right? ”
Honami raised an eyebrow: "My grandfather didn't like air conditioning, and he liked to use root nature to fight the heat." But I can call them now and ask them to install it, and it's all done in a month. ”
There are 10,000 sentences of complaints about the capitalists floating in the heart of Hema.
Suddenly, he had an idea: "By the way, the Nanjo Foundation has invested in the Matsugami Group, right?" They have air conditioners, right? Do they have a sample machine, the kind that people try out? I'd love to try it out! ”
At this time, even Honami was shocked by Kazuma's cheekiness: "This ...... I'll ask if it's good, but there's not much hope. Air conditioners are a hot commodity these days. ”
And the horse pouted.
At this time, Mikako entered the dojo - I don't know where she was hiding just now, and it took so long to appear.
"It's so hot! I'm dying of heat! She yelled, then ran to the fan and took her position, and then shouted into the fan:
"Ahh
So her voice was added by the fan with a strange trill.
He laughed out loud, he actually liked to play like this when he was a child, and I don't know why he just felt that something was wrong if he didn't do it like this.
Qingliu complained loudly: "Are you a little brat!" ”
"I am, I'm only eighteen." Mikako said, and then pulled up the hem of her blouse, exposing her belly and letting the electric fan blow at it.
Yuzao, who had just sent Oiwagawa Hou Yi and them away, entered the door at this time, frowning slightly at Mikako's rude actions: "Mikako, you are a girl, be reserved." ”
"What's the matter, there are no outsiders here. Senior Sister Gao Jianze and Senior Huacheng didn't come back from school. ”
Then Mikako glanced at Kazuma, and then smiled meaningfully.
Then she lowered the hem of her dress and lifted her skirt against the electric fan.
Tamamo: "Monkey? ”
"Nobun-sama!" Mikako is worthy of being a person who aspires to become the best comic actor in English, and the stalk is extremely smooth, "My subordinates have found out, it's Mitsuhide-sama!" ”
"That's it, it's Mitsuhide...... That's not how it is! ”
Qingliu looked at Yuzao with a shocked face: "Why did you also talk about Mancai?" ”
Honami: "You have to get used to it, if you stay in this dojo for a long time, you can't help but start talking about mancai." The patron saint of this dojo is probably an unaspiring funny artist. ”
Haruyu: "Yes, is that so?" ”
Honami smiled at Haruru, then turned to Kazuma: "I'm going to have my last class tomorrow, and I'll move into the dojo in the afternoon, and I'm going to be disturbed for the next two months." ”
Kazuma: "Oh, good. ”
Mikako: "Wama! I told my mom and she gave me the go-ahead to move in for two months! There's still one room in the room empty, right? I take it! ”
Kazuma nodded: "Okay, got it, you can tell her when Chiyoko comes back." ”
"Oh." After Mikako finished answering, she looked at Tamamo triumphantly.
Tamamo: "Well, it seems that I can only squeeze into a room with Chiyoko." ”
You're going to come too!
Kazuma scratched his head: "Even if you squeeze a room with Chiyoko, the rent can't be discounted." ”
Tamamo smiled, "Of course. ”
When the words fell, the wind suddenly rose in the courtyard outside the dojo, and then the cicadas invariably croathed.
