Tall with sunglasses, wearing a leather coat, the cool name is Li Yanzhe, a guitarist, singer, and music producer.

Short and shy, dressed ordinarily, with a shy expression, his name is Xu Wei, a singer, musician, and songwriter.

After getting to know each other, there was a word of chatting.

Lu Bu could see that Ren Yang was not very familiar with them, probably a friend of a friend, and when he introduced him, there must be something going on.

After talking for a while, Xu Wei and Li Yanzhe got up and went out to the bathroom.

Ren Yang explained: "How can I tell you, Xu Wei is a friend of a friend of mine." ”

Sure enough, Lu Bu guessed it.

Ren Yang continued: "A person who loves music and focuses on music, in order to pursue his music dream, he has paid a lot, but the result is a little tragic, he came to Yanjing alone in 94, at that time, the boss asked him to negotiate a contract, he only put forward one condition, the company could not interfere with his music creation, if he intervened, he would give up the contract." ”

Hearing this, Yu Feihong looked at Lu Bu.

Yes.

This is very similar to Lu Bu, who doesn't like to be interfered with.

Ren Yang said: "In 97, Xu Wei released his first album, after the album came out, the sales volume was as high as 500,000 copies, and soon, two singles were released, one of which was also selected into the "Anthology of Chinese Contemporary Poetry", but the song was popular, but he was still poor, even so poor that he had to eat, did not accept advertisements, did not accept commercial performances, lived in a rental house all day long, immersed in the music world. ”

This dude is a little ......

Whether you want to pursue your dreams or art, you must first live, and only by living can you pursue what you want to pursue.

Lu Bu didn't know how to evaluate it.

Ren Yang said: "Last year, Xu Wei released his second album, the lyrics are as depressed and sad as ever, it is also this year, he suffered from severe depression and experienced the darkest moment in his life, and this album is not as popular as expected, under the pressure of life, he is becoming more and more inferior, every day, living like a year, and finally carrying his bags and returning to his hometown in Xi'an. ”

Enlightened yourself?

It's okay, not a dead one.

Lu Bu interjected: "This second time you came to Yanjing, did you encounter difficulties again? ”

Ren Yang nodded and said: "He wrote some songs and planned to make a third album, but he had a problem with eating, and he had left his original company, how could he have the money to record songs and release them." ”

Under normal circumstances, it is very expensive to release an album, including renting a recording studio, hiring a band, buying lyrics, post-mixing, shooting MV, finding scenery, finding a director, looking for post-production, editing, synthesis, etc., each link requires a lot of money and manpower.

Lu Bu asked, "Do you want us to fund him?" ”

Ren Yang nodded and said, "Later, you can listen to the songs of his album and then make a decision." ”

After saying this, Xu Wei and Li Yanzhe just came back.

Ren Yang said to Xu Wei: "Brother Xu, I have already told Abu and Sister Yu about the situation, why don't you sing a few songs from the new album for them?" ”

Xu Wei nodded, he had a request for help, so he could only obey the arrangement.

Moreover, when he entered Beijing this time, his mentality changed.

The first time he came, he wanted to become an artist, but this time, he lowered his stature and felt that he was an ordinary person, trying to live an ordinary person for survival, for music.

Ren Yang got up and said, "I'll go get two guitars." ”

Xu Wei and Li Yanzhe didn't talk much, but when they got the guitar, they had a little more smile on their faces.

No introduction, no announcement.

Pluck the strings with your fingers and sing the first song directly.

"In the years of youth, we can't help ourselves

Just because of this dream burning in my chest......"

"It's my perfect life

It's also your perfect life......"

"I want to see you

The smile was still bright

Free yourself once more

Woo~

Also~"

Fang Cai Ren said that the lyrics of Xu Wei's first and second albums are depressing and sad.

This song is no longer decadent style, and the lyrics are sunny and warm.

Lu Bu heard the healing feeling, from darkness, sadness, despair, loneliness, to sunny hope and joy.

After singing, Xu Wei glanced at Lu Bu and Yu Feihong, and saw that the two of them had indifferent expressions, and his heart chuckled.

Don't......

Facing failure again?

At this time, Li Yanzhe helped his sunglasses, tilted his head to Xu Wei's ear, and whispered: "Take a big move." ”

Xu Wei nodded, and that could only be the case.

Thereupon.

The second song begins.

"Nothing can stop you

Your yearning for freedom......"

Just started singing.

Lu Bu suddenly sat up straight.

At the same time, goosebumps got on the arm.

"The moment you look down

Only then did I realize that the road under my feet ......"

The lyrics don't have too many flowery rhetoric, and ordinary words often go deeper into the soul

The accompaniment of the two guitars, the refreshing sound and volume, highlight Xu Wei's voice full of vicissitudes.

Lu Bu looked at this singer who was not good-looking, and made some decisions in his heart.

"The free world in my heart

So clear and lofty

Bloom and never wither

Blue Lotus ......"

This song is indeed a big move, and it is the title song that Xu Wei used as the third album.

"That's good!" This is after the song fell, Yu Feihong gave an evaluation and asked: "What is the name of this song?" ”

"Blue Lotus." Xu Wei replied.

"Blue Lotus" is a kind of sacred flower in the legend, according to legend, no matter how sick anyone is, as long as there is a breath, you can recover immediately, and become a dragon and tiger, on the surface it is a kind of divine flower, in fact it is like a pool of clear spring in the desert, representing a kind of hope.

And the inspiration for the creation of this song came from two celebrities in ancient times, namely Li Shutong and Xuanzang, who experienced countless ups and downs in their lives, and it was because they always had hope in their hearts that they finally reached the peak of their lives.

Therefore, it is not only a tribute to Li Shutong and Xuanzang, but also a combination of his own tragic situation to pass on the seeds of hope to the audience.

"What do you think?" Ren Yang asked Lu Bu.

"A very nice song." Lu Bu replied.

"Then ......" Ren Yang was just about to ask him if he wanted to invest, but he interrupted: "Mr. Xu, are you not a contracted company now?" ”

"Nope." Xu Wei said succinctly.

Ren Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing what Lu Bu was going to do.

Sure enough, I only heard Lu Bu say: "I want to sign you into my studio, of course, I will not interfere with your music creation, nor will I force you to shoot commercials and accept commercial performances, giving you the highest degree of freedom." ”

Will there be such a studio this year?

Right!

It is estimated that there is a cat greasy!

As a friend, Li Yanzhe opened his mouth and asked: "After signing the contract, how much money will you take?" ”

Lu Bu replied: "Everyone is treated equally, three percent are drawn, two percent are from the studio, and one percent are from the agent." ”

Xu Wei and Li Yanzhe were petrified on the spot.

Don't talk about them, Ren Yang was also stunned.

You're ......

Are you sure you're opening a studio, not a charity hall?
