At seven o'clock in the evening of June 28, 2000, it had just rained in Yanjing, which was refreshing and cool.

In a recording studio called "Far Away" next to Tsinghua University, Li Shengyao met two musical talents.

These two people are Lu Gengwu and Li Jian of the future Shuimu Nianhua combination.

Lu Geng's noon length was a little unsatisfactory, and his facial features and face were not good.

Li Jian has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his demeanor is the same.

At this time, Shuimu Nianhua had not yet been formed, and Lu Gengwu and Li Jian were together to play music.

Li Shengyao can hum the opening song and ending song of "Love Hotel", but he can't sing it.

He needed someone to fill in the lyrics and sing them.

He rushed to Yanjing from Shanghai and began to look for people, cheap, just be able to sing, Guo Xiaodong happened to know Lu Lijian, so he introduced him to Li Shengyao.

He had a very good impression of Mizuki Nianhua, and the first concert he had heard in his previous life was from this group.

At that time, mobile activities, as long as it was a college student who held a dynamic zone, he could go in and listen to songs with his mobile phone and student ID.

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu naturally saw Li Shengyao, and the two of them were secretly surprised that this director was so young, but they didn't say much, they just took the job to make money.

"Two, I'll hum, you listen to the tune, help me write the lyrics, and then sing it, record, two songs are 20,000 yuan, the copyright belongs to me, is there a problem?"

Lu Gengwu was a little excited, they usually sang in bars, but they didn't have so much money.

Li Jian was more steady, "Are there any requirements for quality?" ”

"Just get by, don't be too white in the lyrics."

The theme song of the Korean version of "Love Hotel" is called "The Day We Met", Pei Yongjun sang it, the tune is stable and low, just a high note, there is no difficulty.

Find any person, as long as it's not a duck voice, you can sing it.

The ending song is called "For Love", which is faster, more joyful, and not difficult.

For Li Jian, it should be hand-to-hand.

"For Love" is completely made up, and this song does not have a high sense of presence in the TV series.

Although the tune of "The Day We Met" is peaceful, the tone of this song is very in line with the temperament of this drama, and the protagonist often accompanies this song when he is emotionally fluctuating.

The song is generally smooth and soothing, and it sounds very ordinary at first glance, but after getting used to it, there will be a feeling of unfinished and long-lasting meaning.

When Li Jian and Lu Gengwu heard this, they glanced at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, there are two contracts here, let's sign them."

After a while, the two parties each took a contract, and Li Shengyao was not shy, and he then directly "Hmm...... Well...... Hmmm" hummed.

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu can both create, and the two of them write the score according to Li Shengyao's humming, very fast, without paying attention, they can get the score of the two songs in 20 minutes.

"I'll give you three days to write the lyrics and record the music, and I've already paid the fee to the studio, so you can use it for these three days."

He doesn't understand music theory, and he doesn't know what instruments are used in the two songs, which is left to Li Jian and Lu Gengwu to consider, anyway, he doesn't expect these two songs to make money, just conform to the artistic conception of the TV series.

When the words fell, Li Shengyao was about to leave.

Li Jian chased out, "Director, can you talk?" ”

Li Shengyao was a little surprised, he is very busy now.

Here is the recording of the theme song, and I have to go to the dubbing room of Beijing Film Studio, staring at the actors' dubbing, as well as the later subtitle splicing.

However, he liked Li Jian a lot, so he stopped, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Director, how did you come up with those two songs just now?"

Li Jian has been engaged in creation for a long time, but how difficult it is to create his own original songs.

Just two songs, "For Love" is of average level, but "The Day We Met" should have an upper-middle level.

He was very curious, how could this young director hum such a tune?

He obviously doesn't understand music theory, and he doesn't know anything about music.

Li Shengyao smiled, "When I was filming, I occasionally came up with it. ”

In his previous life, he was actually a fan of Jay, KTV Maiba level, most of Lao Zhou's songs, Li Shengyao can sing.

But he doesn't plan to go the singer route, nor does he plan to go the composer route.

Moreover, he has a bottom line than Charlotte, so he doesn't copy Lao Zhou's songs and lets him live.

This time "Love Hotel" was an accident, and that summer was deeply impressed, so he remembered these two songs.

The only Korean drama theme song he can copy in the follow-up is "Da Jang Geum".

Li Jian nodded, he wanted to see how other people composed, "Director, if you have such an opportunity in the future, call us, we will definitely help you sing well." ”

"Okay."

Mr. Lee then left.

Li Jian returned to the recording engineer, and when he saw that Lu Gengwu had started to fill in the lyrics, he took a closer look and saw that the writing was very white.

"Don't write like this, people say don't be too white, write better."

"Why are you so serious about 10,000 yuan?"

Lu Gengwu was still excited just now, but now that he has signed the contract, he feels that 10,000 is not high.

Li Jian rolled his eyes at Lu Gengwu, "This is the theme song of the TV series, maybe it can be popular, let's be serious." ”

"Hey, what kind of TV series can a 20-year-old director make."

Lu Gengwu looked left and right, and said in a suppressed voice: "I heard from a friend that his TV series was edited in three days, and the editors of Shanghai Film Studio died of laughter, this is too fast, I see, eighty or ninety percent of him has collected it by himself, and he can't sell it at all."

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the score in his hand, "It's not like, these two songs are not high-quality, but they are passable, I think Director Li is a very serious person." ”

Lu Gengwu glanced at the score in his hand and was also puzzled.

These two songs are really okay.

His eyes rolled, "Lao Li, I think we may have suffered a loss." ”

"How?"

"If this drama can really be played on TV, this song "The Day We Met" may be popular, this copyright does not belong to us, and we don't even have the right to sing, so we don't suffer."

"It's okay," Li Jian felt that Lu Gengwu was a little greedy, taking money to do things, and thinking about getting an inch.

"Let's write the lyrics well, and if we write them well, maybe Director Li is willing to let us sing cheaper."

When Lu Gengwu thought of this, he felt that it was beneficial, so he became more serious.

The two of them then wrote the lyrics while playing the guitar and piano, and wrote two lyrics in one day, and the soundtrack of the song was also completed.

The next two spent two days singing and recording.

On the evening of the third day, Li Jian and Lu Gengwu finished singing "The Day They Met", and there were bursts of applause outside, and the two of them turned around and saw that it was Li Shengyao.

"You two, you sing so well."

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu were also a little proud.

Lu Gengwu then said: "Director, we haven't been lazy in the past few days, we just slept for three or four hours in the past few days, you see that I have dark circles under my eyes."

Li Shengyao smiled and didn't answer, Lu Gengwu said this, naturally there is an afterword, otherwise there is no need to sell miserably.

"Director, the two of us really like "The Day We Met", if we want to sing in the future, can it be cheaper?"

Li Jian was flustered, but he also liked this song, so he looked at Li Shengyao quietly, with expectation in his eyes.

Li Shengyao took the score and saw the lyrics on it, and he found that it was written with a lot of meaning.

These two men are really serious.

He is a person with the idea of mutual benefit and win-win, you help me, I help you, people are convenient for me, and I am convenient for others.

He nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, the two of you sing this song, I'll give you a fifty fold." ”

Lu Gengwu and Li Jian were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Shengyao.

"Is it recorded? I'm going to take it. ”

"Alright, alright."

Li Shengyao smiled, picked up the tape, listened carefully, and made sure that there was no problem, so he nodded.

"Very good, I hope to have the opportunity to continue working together in the future, two, goodbye."

Li Shengyao pushed open the door of the recording studio, and a bustling image came to his face, and the lively sound poured into his ears, this is Yanjing, the capital of this ancient and powerful country.

He smiled softly and strode out.

Internal entertainment, I'm here.
