Chapter 82: Everyday Life and Music Creation
Although the unheard name of the single book was released in mid to late October.
But at the end of September.
Red Maple Literature has already begun to promote the sale of a single book with an unheard flower name in advance.
In the animation exhibitions, bookstore advertising spaces, surrounding markets and other places in the southern province area, you can see the new posters of "unheard flower names" produced by Hongfeng Literature everywhere.
On the promotional poster, it is emphasized that there is a new plot chapter in the single book, and it will be randomly sandwiched on the page of the single book on sale with the author's "Yuanqing" autographed bookmark, this special version of the single book, the appearance of the single book is the same as the ordinary single book, a total of 1,000 copies, randomly sold in the counties and cities of the southern province, similar to a small activity of the nature of the lottery.
This can make the "unheard of flower name" book fans in the southern province excited.
"Yuanqing"'s autographed bookmark, the girl author who can write such a gentle story, her autographed bookmark is not scented.
This also led to Xia Yan's new task of going home every day in the past few days, and he also wrote autographed words on the whiteboard bookmark.
On Monday, 1,000 signatures will be handed over to Red Maple Literature.
"I don't know if my seemingly decent words will disappoint fans?"
Xia Yan looked at the pile of bookmarks next to him that had signed the word "Yuanqing", and his expression was slightly strange.
Anyway, for the time being, Xia Yan won't go to any on-site signing meetings, Nancheng No. 3 Middle School is relatively strict, and if you take too much leave, you won't be able to graduate.
Besides, Xia Yan is not ready to reveal his identity for the time being, otherwise his peaceful campus life will definitely be disrupted.
After the end of the unheard flower name, Xia Yan almost entered the state of salted fish, and after waiting for a month or two, the "New God Ascending" activity began.
As for the plan to serialize the new work in Red Maple Literature, Xia Yan has no idea for the time being.
The recent adaptation of the unheard name is enough for him to drink a pot, Jiuyou Animation is indeed the same as the director Ren Qing said, very respectful of the original author's ideas, and often contact Xia Yan on the computer for some details of the work, such as the character design of each character in the animation, painting style, plot rhythm, according to the adapted animation script. There is a professional company over there, and the production team acted very quickly after signing a contract with Xia Yan. If Xia Yan opens a new work, he will have to be tired to death.
But the other party also took the initiative to ask yesterday, what Xia Yan once said, a song suitable for the animation of "Unheard Flower Name".
"Ding Dong!!"
The doorbell rings in the room.
Xia Yan has basically had no contact with him since his father's death, after all, his father owes a lot of debt to his relatives and died, and people are still angry.
So at this time, people from Xia Yan's house will come.
Xia Yan hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Sure enough, outside the house, a young girl stood in the pavilion.
Rumo's soft hair is hanging down, wearing a light white floral dress, carrying a large package on her back, her eyes are full of calm when she sees Xia Yan, and her face is cold and beautiful.
"You're so fast, it's less than half past seven." Xia Yan said.
Song Lingyun walked into Xia Yan's house and looked around.
"I thought your house would be the same as Tang Yin's house, full of anime peripherals, I didn't expect it to be so empty." Song Lingyun looked at it for a long time and said.
"You'll be there again in a little while. I haven't covered the heat yet, and I go to class every day, and I write at night and on weekends, so how can I have time to go to the surrounding market to buy those. After Xia Yan poured a cup of tea for Song Lingyun, the two sat in the living room and looked at each other.
Actually, it feels a little weird.
Song Lingyun's purpose in coming to Xia Yan's house is also very simple, that is, to come over and help Xia Yan get a music score, but the purpose of looking around just now is not really interested in the layout of Xia Yan's house, but to see if he is writing a new work.
But to Song Lingyun's disappointment, although Xia Yan confirmed that the next work was to go to the moon, he hadn't actually started construction yet.
"Alright, don't waste your time. Here we go. Xia Yan said immediately.
Although he doesn't know music theory, he can at least sing, of course, the original song of this song is in Japanese, Xia Yan will definitely not be able to sing it, but he can hum the tune out, and then let Song Lingyun compose it into a song.
Of course, this kind of operation, even Xia Yan, a music layman, knows it, I'm afraid it will still be a little difficult, but I communicated with Song Lingyun before, and she said that there was no problem.
"You wait for me there." Song Lingyun took out a book of stave from his bag.
Then she took out an electronic piano from the big backpack she was carrying before, and she was not polite, she found a place to plug in the power supply, wiring or something, and then sat opposite Xia Yan and said.
"It's time to go."
Xia Yan saw the pile of equipment that Song Lingyun took out, as well as her serious expression, in fact, Xia Yan was quite surprised.
"You've got a lot to prepare. Do you really believe that a musical layman like me can come up with any funny tunes? ”
"This kind of thing can only be known when you practice it." Song Lingyun held a pen in his hand and opened the five-line music book.
Then after trying to play the sound of the electronic piano, he made sure that there was no deviation, and said to Xia Yan.
"Understood." Xia Yan said after hearing this.
And then
He spoke.
At first, Song Lingyun frowned when he heard the tune he hummed softly.
This is not only a lack of knowledge of music theory, but it can even be said that the five tones are incomplete.
But listen to it, after the tune is connected into a line
The look in Song Lingyun's eyes changed.
Her attention was no longer focused on Xia Yan, but on her ears.
Xia Yan just hummed the song in the form of humming the song he heard in his memory.
Compared with the original version, the quality is 108,000 miles worse, but Song Lingyun has basic musical literacy.
After listening to a few words, you can hear the signs.
"Stop and start from the beginning." Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan with a solemn expression.
"Slow down. Hmph, stop for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have written the score so fast. ”
"Oooh. Then I'll try my best. Xia Yan nodded immediately.
In the room at night, Xia Yan sat in front of Song Lingyun like a student, humming a tune.
And Song Lingyun listened to a paragraph, stopped for a while, thought for a paragraph, and kept asking Xia Yan for some other details.
This progresses. It's actually quite slow.
An hour later, Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.
"I'll play it now, and you'll see what's different from what you imagined?"
The whole song, not even a tenth of the part has progressed, but Xia Yan is already tired, he is not a professional singer, and he is a little short of breath after humming for a long time.
"Okay, I'll listen." Xia Yan looked curiously at the electronic piano in front of Song Lingyun.
Song Lingyun took a deep breath, put his hands on the keys, and glanced at the song he had just composed, and his fingers fell gently.
In the next second, a moving electronic organ melody sounded in the room.
Xia Yan's expression froze at this moment.
It's different from the rhythm of the parallel world version of "All the secret base~s you gave me" that Xia Yan heard in his memory, but that prelude tune
really substituted Xia Yan's memory into the picture scene of the unheard flower name in an instant.
"Bang Bang Bang !!!"
This strumming lasted only about twenty seconds before it ended, because it was only to this place.
But Xia Yan clapped his hands excitedly.
"Awesome! Song Lingyun, you are so powerful. Xia Yan's eyes lit up.
"This is genius!"
What a musical genius, what piano high school student has won an award-winning gimmick, it sounds substantial.
But now, after the other party showed a hand in front of him, Xia Yan felt deeply.
It turns out that Song Lingyun is so handsome.
Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan's excited expression, and the light in his eyes lit up.
In the past ten years of her life, many people have expressed to her, "You are amazing!" She was used to such expressions.
But at this moment, Xia Yan's praise is very useful to her.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with that performance?"
Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.
"It's nice to hear, but the rhythm is not what I thought. There are some places that should be a little heavier, but I feel that it is much more cheerful. ”
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun began to discuss the performance just now.
Song Lingyun basically understood what he meant as soon as he heard Xia Yan's words.
It is the rise and fall of the pitch, and the difference between the high and low tones is different from Xia Yan's requirements.
Xia Yan didn't understand the knowledge of music theory, so he explained to him, saying that it was useless, so he could only try to listen to him one by one on the sounds that Xia Yan felt were inappropriate.
Frankly. It's a slow way to manipulate it like this.
Two hours later.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and this short piece of music was completed.
Xia Yan looked at the time, his expression confused.
He imagined that a song would take a few minutes and let Song Lingyun help compose the music, and he might be able to finish the work in one night, but he didn't expect it to take so long to make this result.
"It's late, I'm leaving. I'll come back tomorrow. Song Lingyun got up.
"That, it feels like this job is probably going to take you days, and it's a little bit bad for you to help for free, you. What can I help you with?" Xia Yan hesitated and asked.
"If I wanted you to give anything in return, I wouldn't have come to help you with this." Song Lingyun's watery eyes looked at Xia Yan, and said in a calm voice.
"The time spent, in exchange for what you repay, can't be compared."
"I'm willing to grant your request, just because I think I'm going to have fun in the process."
"And the result?" Xia Yan paused and asked.
"I feel like it's okay." Song Lingyun thought for a moment and smiled slightly.
"Originally, I wanted to come and see you make a fool of yourself. A person who didn't know anything about music theory suddenly told me that he had thought of a great piece of music and asked me to help compose it. I think you're dazed. But actually."
"Tonight, I witnessed the appearance of a very good song, and I feel quite accomplished that this piece was composed by me. I love this tune. You don't have to feel like it's going to owe me a favor or any pressure. ”
Xia Yan was silent when he heard this.
is the so-called gentleman and frank, maybe this is Song Lingyun, but he definitely doesn't have the realm of Song Lingyun, and he still feels that he has taken advantage of her.
"A sense of accomplishment? That one. If you like this tune. Xia Yan thought for a moment.
"Do you want a name?"
"Name?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan curiously when she heard this.
"Of course, all the commercial rights to this piece must belong to me, and this will definitely be clear when the score is completed and the copyright is registered. However, in the co-creator column, you can also put a name on it, help me write the score, and also assist me in creating. You're not short of money anyway, and I can't give you anything in return. If you like this song, you can add your pen name "Ningyun" to the composer of the song. ”
Song Lingyun heard this, and stared at Xia Yan.
"Are you serious?"
Song Lingyun is actually a little tempted, it's not that she wants to be famous, it's just that she really likes this song, if Xia Yan is willing to let her be named in the creator column. It's like the ancient emperors liked to put their own seals on their favorite landscape paintings, and after stamping that seal, this painting was not created by them, but they will feel a sense of accomplishment psychologically.
"What's this? The copyright is in my hands, and it doesn't matter how many creators there are, I'm a family, not a music creator. Xia Yan saw Song Lingyun's expression and hurriedly said.
Song Lingyun looked at the music sheet in his hand. Then let out a long breath.
"Then don't regret it. When the time comes, if this song is selected as the theme song of the anime and becomes famous, it will make a big difference if you are an independent creator of this song or write it with others. At least then the genius musician filter in the eyes of fans will be much smaller. ”
"Do you think I'm a talented musician? I want that filter to work? As soon as I got on stage, others asked me two sentences about the knowledge of Dolaimi's instigation, and I was completely exposed. Hearing this, Xia Yan said with a smile on his face.
Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan carefully, remembering that in the past few hours, his incomplete humming.
A smile surged from her chest, the coldness on her face instantly dissipated, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I didn't say much, I put on my own electronic keyboard and left.
