After nightfall, the county seat where the Qinghe River passes, the lights from far and near outline the outline of the city. In winter, there are many fewer people lingering on the streets, and the darker streets are often the residences of residents. A car slowly stops in front of a small building.

Luo Zhengwei got out of the car. It was late at this time, and he looked at the time and sighed silently.

Overtime will naturally still happen, but the content of the work is not hard compared to before. There are indeed many colleagues around him who shout that the grassroots are tired and the grassroots are bitter, but for Luo Zhengwei, who has been on the border for so many years, it is really not worth mentioning.

Of course, many times he is just doing things silently, and he is too lazy to lecture those lazy colleagues, or to advise others to "don't complain so much" and the like, do his own thing, and occasionally he can point out some newcomers how to deal with the case, he knows that people's cognition has a lot to do with the environment in which he lives, and it is the most difficult thing in the world to let others accept your point of view.

After all, now that I have been transferred to an administrative position, I don't have so much time to contact the front line.

All in all, it's a little uncomfortable. I still miss the days when I used to handle cases and was born and died...... Of course, it is not that I miss the danger at that time, but everything I did at that time felt very meaningful, valuable, and carried forward for this society...... Most of today's things are really meaningless. However, the habits he has developed over the years will still allow him to complete everything meticulously.

The most rewarding thing I did during this time was the video of the competition. Self-taught editing software, collecting materials, cutting videos, and doing post-production ...... It has been a rewarding journey to go from not knowing anything at the beginning to being able to produce beautiful videos now. And the hard work was not in vain, it was favored by the above. The city made a special arrangement, saying that the idea of this video is very good, and there is still room for expansion, but there is still room for further improvement in shooting and production, which can be further improved, and the next step can be pushed to the provincial department.

It's not about grades, but it's not about him. But this video condenses the emotions he has accumulated over the years of working at the border, and if he can't vent them, it will indeed be painful.

The attention of the city also makes the county attach great importance to it, and during this time, he no longer has to do other work, and he can concentrate on this thing. At the same time, you can borrow a few professionals from the county's propaganda mouth to help and concentrate on filming the film. Some video clips are the scene of the mission with the brothers, the first point of view, combined with some of the collected videos, and then shoot well, it will have a very shocking effect.

When he got home, his daughter was still studying, and he knew that the final exam was coming, and he was a lot more nervous during this time.

didn't bother Luo Luoyue, Luo Zhengwei sat alone in front of the computer in the living room and smoked, his wife was already asleep, so he picked up the headphones, opened a music software, and listened to the song silently.

In fact...... It's looking for a suitable video background music. The song I used last time was almost meaningful.

……

Yi Yang will still go to Jiang Lili to practice. It's a relaxing time to study. In fact, Jiang Lili can't teach anything on the guitar anymore, and her understanding of the guitar is so much, but music, after learning music theory, while thinking about it, she repeatedly practices a lot, and the guitar level will continue to improve. In the final analysis, in music, music theory knowledge and ear training are still more important.

Jiang Lili's home turned on the air conditioner and was warm.

Yi Yang began to understand the basic logic of matching a melody with chords...... It's just a small breakthrough in music theory, but it's a milestone step forward for guitar. This means that in the near future, with a little better hearing, you will be able to improvise accompaniment away from guitar tabs, and at that point, you will have no problem being a resident singer in that bar.

At present, there are not many things that really need to be learned, and when I came to Jiang Lili, I mainly relied on the piano to practice sight-singing and ear training, and in the past six months, my hearing level has been very good.

In between breaks, Yi Yang asked a question he had always wanted to ask.

"Teacher Jiang...... How do you write a song? ”

Jiang Lili was pouring a glass of water, took it up and took a sip, heard Yi Yang's words, looked over, and saw him holding the guitar and looking at him curiously.

"Hmm......" Jiang Lili said as he walked to the piano: "Your question, in fact, I think it will probably be a problem that many people who play music will encounter." ”

"Before music, most people think that writing a song is a lofty thing, for example, if you hear someone close to you say that they have written a song, you must be shocked...... I feel that writing songs is too far away from me. ”

"Hmm."

"However, when you enter this circle, you will find that in fact, writing songs is not so lofty. Let's put it this way, a person hums and records it with his mobile phone, even if he writes a song. ”

"Uh...... Does that count? That...... No ...... notation"

"yes, no score. But can you say that he didn't write the song? Of course not, there are some people who just have some nice melodies in their heads, and they make it out and it becomes a tune. ”

Yi Yang smiled and said, "That...... No, everyone can write songs? ”

"Theoretically, it's like this, composing, strictly speaking, there is no threshold. It's just that to make the music you create into a score so that others can understand it, you need a little threshold. But this can even be left to professionals...... Let me tell you quietly, there are some celebrities, they write songs like this, they don't understand anything, hum it, give it to the producer, and then don't worry about anything, and finally sign the name of the composer, fame and fortune. ”

"It's that simple......"

Jiang Lili pressed a few notes on the piano at random, and said: "But, after all, such a big star is a minority, and even the name of a composer is just icing on the cake, not relying on this...... For ordinary people, there is no threshold for composing, but there is a high threshold for really making a finished song that can be listened to. ”

"Of course, we're only talking about pop songs, and classical piano music can't be composed this way...... Continuing to say, it is quite complicated for the grassroots to create a song, the kind of song that can be listened to by others in the real sense of the word. ”

"The song is there, the words, you have to have it too, right?"

"Now that the lyrics and music are there, the next step is production. This process is the threshold that stucks 99% of grassroots musicians. The four major pieces of arrangement, I told you before, bass, drums, piano, guitar, find a reliable arranger to write the harmony, this step is the most time-consuming and laborious, because when it comes to playing music, each instrument and voice must have a corresponding score, not for you The rough score, anyway, I can't do it...... Then there's a recording studio, a sound engineer to start recording, and then there's mixing, mastering, and even distribution...... In short, it is a super complex system engineering. ”

"This requires money, and it's often not something that can be done by one person, so it's hard for talented creators to come up with it if they don't sign a contract."

"So there are some musicians, before they become famous, they often sing folk songs, why do they sing folk songs? Because of folk songs, with lyrics and songs, a guitar accompaniment, you can sing anywhere, with a little money, find a studio with a better effect to play and record, you can release it, how much cost is saved. ”

Yi Yang nodded: "I see......"

It's no wonder that many folk singers only have one guitar to accompani...... It turns out that most of them are because of this reason.

I got a general idea of what I wanted to know.

But Jiang Lili was a little curious, and she asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Yi Yang said: "I want to write a song." ”

Jiang Lili was happy, and sighed twice: "Awesome, tell my sister?" If it sounds good, how about my sister help you make it? ”

Yi Yang snorted casually: "la ti do re ti do......" The lonely brave's "love you walking alone in the dark alley, love your appearance of not returning......"

Naturally, after listening to only these two melodies, it is impossible to produce such an amazing feeling, it can only be said that it is quite catchy, but Yi Yang can already sing it in a simple score, not bad, much better than some so-called creative stars.

At least one of the creators.

"Hmm...... Gone? ”

"Not for now."

"What about words?"

"Immature."

"How long does this song span?"

"Hmm...... Within two octaves. ”

"It's not high, if it's not high, ordinary people can sing it. Okay, then tell me when you've officially created it......"

So far, Jiang Lili has not had much expectation for Yi Yang's so-called "creation".

……

After returning home, Yi Yang memorized the words for a while, took out the simple score of "The Lonely Brave" in the drawer, read it silently for a while, picked up the guitar again, and played and sang casually......

With a slight sigh, he put the song down.

In fact, this song was "written" about a month ago.

At that time, I was just tired of studying, and I was idle and bored for a while, and I had been practicing my ears for so long, and after a little exploration, I could naturally think of the melody of the first note of some pop songs...... It took about ten minutes to get it out, and I simply filled in the lyrics.

It's just that when he came up with this song, he didn't have the means to announce it calmly to the outside world, and he wrote it himself, and he was at a loss for what to monetize.

Of course, it's not hypocrisy, or guilt for the original author, and so on. There are many reasons to talk about it, and there are even a few similar worries and apprehensions that have been blocked in the chest. And the root of all this is that before Jiang Lili explained tonight, he didn't understand the process and principle of music creation. At this time, I understood, but I found that wanting to make money from a few songs was far more complicated than I imagined...... I used to watch the story that you could make a lot of money by copying songs on the Internet...... It's still quite fake.

First of all, the first problem we faced was, how to turn this score with only music and lyrics into a song for others in the real sense? There are probably only two ways here, one is to sell to a certain celebrity...... But he didn't know how to do it, and even if he sent it to a record company, how would he get the dome tape? Then there is only the second way left, make it yourself, and then publish it on a certain online platform, expecting it to become popular.

In short, if you want to make money from this, you must invest a lot of costs in the early stage. This is a big headache. And this "Lonely Brave" is a song that eats a lot of arrangement, it can be said that there is no good arrangement, and the influence is discounted by at least half, so the cost is a little higher.

Next, even if you waste all your efforts and make this song rough, there is no bottom at all about whether this saliva song, which will be very popular ten years later, can cater to the aesthetics of the current audience. You must know that even Jay Chou's classic "I'm Busy" was criticized by critical audiences for nothing when it was first launched, and even yelled "Is Jay Chou already ...... Jiang Lang"

Moreover, he is not Eason Chan, the later "The Lonely Brave" is a top arranger and a top singer, and the later broadcast channels on the short video platform made this song have such a high degree of popularity.

Therefore, it is very likely that a lot of effort and cost will be wasted, and the copied song will be like a stone thrown into the sea, and it will not be able to turn over any waves, so it will cry to death.

Other than that, he's just a teenager anyway. Writing a song can't be said to be a shocking thing, but it's always a rare thing, so there will definitely be some people who dig deep into whether it was created by him himself...... In this process, it will naturally involve some people to ask some professional questions, and I heard Jiang Lili say it tonight, and I probably have some bottom, so that it will not be exposed, but this process will definitely not be very pleasant.

And it affects learning.

Thinking of this, Yi Yang shook his head and temporarily put the thought of making money by copying songs behind.

I haven't thought about what major I will study in the future, whether I will be in business or politics or scientific research, but I have thought very clearly, I can copy one or two songs in the future, which can accumulate a fortune relatively easily for him in the future, as the original accumulation of capital, this has been thought about...... But not now, the conditions are not very mature in all aspects, and now we still have to focus on learning.

Thinking of this, I calmed down a bit.

For a long time, he was fantasizing about plagiarizing some songs and getting rich overnight, and even learning music theory guitar also had this in mind. Now that I've figured it out, I'm not in such a hurry.

……

The next morning for self-study, Luo Luoyue heard Yi Yang humming the children's song again, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, and said, "Yes, yes, that's it...... What's the name of your song? ”

Yi Yang glanced at Luo Luoyue and said with a smile: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't find this song." ”

"Can't find it?"

"This song is called the Lonely Brave...... I wrote. ”

Luo Luoyue suddenly rolled her eyes.

"Bragging, not drafting."

In Luo Luoyue's opinion, what a powerful thing it is to write songs, just him?

District...... District, he?
