At 10 a.m. on 23 June 2001, light rain fell in the northern part of the bend.

Accompanied by a local, Lee Sang Yew drove to his destination.

From the eyes of his travelers, the crooked buildings are very stingy, there are very few tall office buildings, most of them are small buildings of five or six floors, and the streets are not spacious, much like the old and poorly planned small county towns in the mainland.

More than a decade later, most of the small counties in the mainland have built new urban areas, high-rise buildings are everywhere, and the streets are mostly six-lane, which is even more beautiful than the provincial capital at this time.

However, if you compare it with the current inland bends, the bends are still much more prosperous.

The common people on the street should dress more fashionably.

At this time, the accompanying locals proudly introduced the bend with the attitude of a city person looking at a country person.

Li Shengyao didn't bother to pay attention to such a little card, he looked out the window, occasionally answered, and thought about those hand-me-down movies in his heart.

"Yiyi", "Childhood Memories", "City of Sadness", "Dry Ridge Street Murder Incident" ......

The great directors have a very strong literati atmosphere, and they like to use some small characters to record the times.

And the story is very well written and interesting.

At this point, there is still a gap between the big directors in the mainland.

Li Shengyao is not famous now, and he is in a hurry.

If he is free in the future, he really wants to visit film masters like Yang Dezhuan and Hou Xiaoxian.

The car spun around, and twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination, the residence at No. 76 Xinming Street, Chicken Coop.

It's a very ordinary little yard, but the owner here is not ordinary.

The owner's name is Chen Xiaoxia, and she is known as the godmother of Chinese music pop by the outside world.

This godmother is different from Chai Zhiping, Chai Zhiping is standing on the tuyere, and there is a lot of luck.

This is a man of real strength.

He started writing songs at the age of seven, and at the age of fourteen, he began selling songs to make money.

When Qi Qin was still a brick mover, she taught Qi Qin to sing and play the guitar, and made Qi Qin popular with her own hands.

Then she made Meng Tingwei popular with "Whose Tears Are Flying" and "Look at the Face of the Moon".

Before Li Shengyao crossed over, she wrote more than 600 songs, including "Promise", "Ten Years", "Angel in the Devil" and other popular songs.

Her songs have a taste of folk songs, eloquent, very life-like, and she likes to record her feelings with the bits and pieces of life.

And her creative cycle is very long, and she is still writing songs at the age of seventy, which is especially rare.

Such a big man is strong enough to write a song and arrange the soundtrack for "Winter Love Song", which is no problem at all.

The only question is how to impress her.

Thankfully, she has her flaws.

Chen Xiaoxia is similar to most crooked artists, and her family has been poor since she was a child.

However, it is different from other artists who grow up to buckle the cord and guard their wallets carefully.

Chen Xiaoxia was poor when she was a child, and when she grew up, she spent money quickly, it can be said that she had no plan, she was moonlight, she was daylight, and she belonged to the state of being drunk today.

In the eighties of the last century, she often had no money to eat.

It is said that Qi Qin would give her money every few days.

In the nineties, Chen Xiaoxia was older, spent money a little sparingly, and bought a house, but she never liked to save money, and her bank card balance was never much.

As long as someone asks for a song, she usually accepts it.

It's hard to say about the quality.

She wrote a lot of songs for Qi Qin in her early years, but later stopped writing, she said that the songs she wrote later were not worthy of Qi Qin.

This shows her own opinion on the later songs.

Li Shengyao doesn't expect Chen Xiaoxia to write good songs like "Ten Years" and "Promise" for him, as long as the songs are at the middle and upper level.

What he expects more is that Chen Xiaoxia will help him score the music to create a faint sense of sadness for "Winter Love Song".

"Knock knock!"

Li Shengyao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon an aunt in her fifties stepped forward to open the door.

Li Shengyao had already made an appointment to explain his intentions, and his aunt led Li Shengyao into the small courtyard.

"She hasn't gotten up yet, you wait, sit by yourself, I'll call her to get up."

Li Shengyao found a wooden chair in the living room and sat down.

The furniture in this living room is all wooden, there is no sofa, and the chairs look a little old, but they are quite cool.

Soon after, the person he was looking for came out.

Chen Xiaoxia looked about fifty years old, medium height, long hair, dark skin, looked a little like a crooked native, slightly fat, and her temperament was very similar to that kind of aunt who was about to retire.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xiaoxia had known that she was like this, I believe no one would believe that this is the godmother of the Chinese music scene.

"It's Director Li, sit down, wait for me to wash my face."

Chen Xiaoxia's personality is still very good, otherwise it would be impossible to make friends with a stuffy gourd like Qi Qin.

Not long after, after washing, Chen Xiaoxia sat opposite Li Shengyao.

"Have you had breakfast, do you want to let your aunt cook it for you, the preserved egg porridge she cooked is delicious, I can eat three bowls."

She had washed her face, but it looked the same as before.

Temperament, she really doesn't have it.

But the personality is really easy-going.

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "Senior, I've already eaten it." ”

"Okay, tell me about you."

Li Shengyao had already called Chen Xiaoxia and probably told him about him, but Chen Xiaoxia still wanted to have an interview.

He understands this, after all, he needs Chen Xiaoxia to go to Yanjing, and the people at this time are still a little afraid of going north to the mainland.

Li Shengyao then said what he meant, he needed Chen Xiaoxia to help him write the theme song, ending song, interlude, at least six songs.

In addition, I also have to help him score the whole drama "Winter Love Song", with a total price of 300,000 yuan.

He doesn't need the copyright of the song, and he doesn't care who sings it.

During the period of going north to Yanjing, he covered all the carriage and horse expenses, food and lodging expenses.

He came out of the cost of recording the songs.

The price is still very attractive, and with Chen Xiaoxia's prestige, the songs she writes, and the singers on Hong Kong Island rush to sing them, and she doesn't need to pay.

It's just that......

Chen Xiaoxia frowned slightly, "Can you do it in the bend?" ”

"Senior, this drama is very important to me, the reason why I am looking for you is because I think only you can grasp it, but I still hope that you go to Yanjing and watch this drama, maybe you will have new feelings."

"Why?"

"This drama is very beautifully filmed, I believe that after watching the drama, you will have different inspirations."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxia looked up at Li Shengyao, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

Composers are very sensitive and emotionally delicate people.

Chen Xiaoxia is naturally no exception, but she actually doesn't like to watch TV series, she feels very bored.

She also doesn't like to travel and feels tired.

She likes to watch art exhibitions, film exhibitions, and works that can be enjoyed while lying down.

Li Shengyao nodded affirmatively, "It's beautiful, I promise." ”

Chen Xiaoxia was still a little hesitant, but she thought that the copyright of six songs plus 300,000 soundtracks still belonged to her, and she could make a profit by selling them to singers after recording.

She still couldn't resist the temptation, "Okay, you wait for me for two days, I'll prepare, and I'll go with you the day after tomorrow." ”
