Chapter 53: You don't need a reason to write a song
"Miss Dong
You never forget your smile
Just like you and me, craving aging
Miss Dong
It's beautiful when the corners of your mouth are down
It's like the clear water under the Ann River Bridge
……”
Gu Bei whispered, as if he was an affectionate poet, the fluctuating fingers on the acoustic guitar strings slowly stopped, and a figure that had begun to slowly blur appeared in his mind.
"Papapa......" Su Yiyi and the others began to applaud Gu Bei, translation teacher Li Ying, new assistant Xiaotian, and bodyguard and driver Brother Zhong all expressed their love for the song just now.
After the praise, Xiao Tian also raised his own questions: "Boss, the song you just now seems to be a little different from the current ballad." ”
Xiaotian is a temporary male assistant on Gu Bei's trip to Miguo, and like Su Yiyi, he is a young man in his twenties, not a few years older than Gu Bei.
"It's a little different, but it's the same way, and it's still in the category of folk songs." Gu Bei explained, "It may indeed be very different from Gao Xiaosong and Lao Wolf's campus folk songs, but how do you feel after listening to them?" ”
As soon as Gu Bei's voice fell, Su Yiyi raised his hand excitedly and said, "Boss, you just sang the last sentence 'Come with me, Miss Dong', and there is a sentence in the middle 'I fall in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland at home', I am very curious." ”
"Curious about what?"
"Boss, do you have an unforgettable love?"
Looking at the gossip on Su Yi's face, and then looked at Xiaotian, Brother Zhong and Li Ying on the side, his expression was full of curiosity, Gu Bei thought of the girl he met when he ran the crew, and said with a smile: "It's not unforgettable, huh...... It should be ignorant, it was the first time I liked a girl, she was very lively, and the youthful and beautiful atmosphere on her body deeply attracted me. ”
"So you wrote this song because, can't you let her go?"
"No, it's been two years, and I don't care that much about it for a long time." Gu Bei shook his head with a smile and said slowly, "I just think that relationship is quite pure, but it's a pity that we separated before we really started, and now I think about it from time to time, just because that silly ignorance is very cute and beautiful." ”
Li Ying, who was very intellectual in Gu Bei's eyes, couldn't help but be curious: "Boss, tell me about your previous affairs?" We're curious. ”
"Okay, I'll sing this song today, and the next time, let's have fun, it's hard to come out for a trip, or travel at public expense, don't waste time."
"Weilong of the Western Regions" only has a few scenes, Gu Bei finished filming in less than a week, and the rest of the time is naturally to enjoy the vacation time, accompanied by Su Yiyi and four people, Gu Bei is not very lonely.
Of course, Gu Bei did not forget the task given to him by Shi Rong - to write songs for his new album, "Miss Dong" is one of the ballads, and naturally benefits from HC Old Demon.
Stealing other people's things again, Gu Bei felt a little awkward in his heart, but after thinking about it, these works have not yet come out, and the guilt is a lot less.
For this reason, Gu Bei specially bought a little incense paper in Chinatown in the United States and burned it to the HC old demon, which can be regarded as expressing his guilt.
There are many differences between the country and China, and after staying in Gubei for a while, he learned a lot about the local customs and took thousands of travel photos.
Through this trip, Gu Bei also had a small idea, to travel around the world after the age of forty or fifty, and then buy a manor, plant some grapes, apples or something, raise a few cats and dogs, and finally have a full house of children and grandchildren, it will be perfect......
On August 20th, the group returned to China satisfied, Gu Bei took the new song written to Su Yiyi and handed it to Shi Rong at the same time, he took dozens of gifts bought from Mi Guo back to his home, and took the opportunity to call those old friends from before, understanding the address is one thing, the main thing is to envelop feelings.
Zhang Jiayi, Xiong Zhengyu, Fat Man, Qu Yang, Xu Jinglei, Wang Xuebing, Zhang Yibai, Zhang Ziyi...... After a round of phone calls, Gu Bei's eyes were finally fixed on the number left by Liang Xin, and after hesitating, Gu Bei directly deleted the number.
During his trip to the United States, Gu Bei wrote a lot of ballads about love, and occasionally chatted with Su Yiyi, so he also thought about it a lot, and the past should indeed let it pass, Gu Bei, who was born in 79, is 20 years old, and he should also talk about love seriously......
The next day, Gu Bei was personally taken to the company by Shi Rong, and personally made a pot of tea for Gu Bei, and after working for a long time, he sat down with a smile and said: "Xiaobei, I really want to know how these songs of yours are written when I have the opportunity, I feel that you have a very good story." ”
"It's just nonsense." Gu Bei was a little weak-hearted, took a sip of tea, but forgot that it had just been brewed, and he was scalded if he didn't pay attention.
"You can't write that way." Shi Rong was very interested, and he didn't want to get down to business at all, "I showed your song to Gao Xiaosong, he said that the lyrics are very literary, the song is also good, and the artistic conception is very compatible." ”
If you compliment, Gu Bei has not heard much since his debut, and at this time, he doesn't care whether this is said by Gao Xiaosong or not, but he is just concerned: "After Gao Xiaosong read it, did he have any thoughts about arranging?" ”
"Yes, but his original intention is to talk to you first, follow your ideas, preferably you can make up your own music, and besides, he also wants to hear the story of your song, so that he can also have a better idea."
"I make up my own music?" Gu Bei pointed at himself in surprise and said, "Brother Rong, didn't I tell you before, it's not easy to arrange music, if you are familiar with many musical instruments, I can play piano and guitar, and the guitar is still at an amateur level." ”
"What Gao Xiaosong means is that he is not very good at arranging, and the music he made before is also based on feeling, so he wants you to try it yourself, you can say where you want to add drums, where you want to add the piano, you can say what kind of feeling you want, and the band teacher will add the instruments you want according to your lyrics."
"Let's talk about it."
"Okay, I'll talk about it when you meet Gao Xiaosong." Shi Rong nodded, and then said curiously, "Then you can tell me how you wrote those songs now, right?" ”
Speechless in his heart, Gu Bei replied: "This matter can't be explained clearly, it's okay to pull out a little logic, "Under the Flying Clouds" and "Sparrow" are very simple healing songs, in a dark moment, I saw a clean sky or a sparrow trying to fly up, and I felt a lot better. ”
"According to what you say, "It's Dawn" is associated with your own life experience?"
"That's the reason, so if you have to find a reason to say how this song and that song were written, it's easy to find out, but many times, not only writing songs, but also writing books, scripts, and movies, these are the same, not necessarily from your own life experience, but a certain story you see or a certain picture of your imagination."
Hearing this, Shi Rong had a very understanding expression and said, "No wonder your previous album was called "Spectator". ”
Gu Bei spread his hands and didn't explain again, this result was already the best, but Shi Rong was obviously not ready to give up, and continued to ask: "What about your love songs?" When have you ever been in a relationship? These lyrics full of sour smell can't be written without falling in love, let alone sung. ”
"Brother Rong, are you going to change careers to become a gossip reporter? So idle. ”
"I'm wondering if I can help you hype, find a beautiful girl, and make up a love-hate relationship and hatred, unforgettable." Shi Rong touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Eh, how is the little girl before, Xu Jinglei, are you still in contact after filming "Love to the End"?" Why don't I let her be the heroine of the MV for you? ”
"Ouch hey! Brother Rong, where are you going? I don't want any hype, let alone make up any love stories, I don't need a reason to write a song at all, okay, I'll go back. ”
