Chapter 13: Anhe Bridge

Whether it is Chen Mo in the previous life or Chen Mo in this life, they all like freedom and don't like to be constrained. That's his attitude, he doesn't like to be controlled, he doesn't want to do what he doesn't want to do, and only an independent musician can meet his requirements, he has to firmly grasp the copyright of his work.

"Are you sure you want to be an independent musician, you should understand the current saturation of the music industry, if there is no company packaging, it is almost impossible for a newcomer to get ahead, will you do this a bit of a game!" Yang Ying said cautiously, after all, this is a very risky behavior.

Yang Ying was very surprised, the current entertainment industry is already a little full, it is difficult for newcomers to become famous, if there is no company's packaging, it is basically difficult to succeed just by relying on their own publicity, of course, there are some independent musicians now, but these independent musicians are musicians from a long time ago, and in the early days, they were all packaged by the company and became independent in the later stage.

The so-called independent musicians refer to musicians who have not signed a contract with any record company, record their own songs, promote their own songs, and release them freely. Most of the music created by independent musicians is more unconventional, which is equivalent to the non-mainstream of the music industry.

Most of the music created by independent musicians is more unconventional, which is equivalent to the non-mainstream of the music industry. He has his own unique understanding of himself, the world, his surroundings and life, and forms a creative concept based on this, and finally can accurately express it in the form of music. As a result, they have more freedom to discover sound, musicality, or other emotional musical themes that are not known to mainstream listeners, but on the other hand, the music they release may not bring a profit proportional to their musical taste.

Chen Mo still wants to be such a person, because Chen Mo has the blessing of the music library on the earth, and all the works in his mind are ready-made, even if there are some works that need to be improved, he can also find someone to help.

"I know it's hard, but I stick to my own ideas, and no matter how difficult it is, I'll find a way to overcome it." Chen Mo said, he was very serious, and at the same time, he hoped that Yang Ying could give him some advice!

I am not very familiar with the music companies in this world, and the predecessor only knows a little bit about this aspect.

Chen Mo couldn't imagine how difficult his future road would be with this idea, it was unimaginable!

"Let me tell you this, maybe you don't know the domestic market, it's basically like this, basically all record companies are full copyright contracts, a cultivated artist is not so easy to give up, and your works will be fully represented by the company, and you want to be fully responsible for your own works, which is impossible to achieve in any record company." Yang Ying said.

Although she is not a singer, these are all things that people who know a little bit about, and now is the era of full copyright. And the longer the contract, the greater the chance of being praised by the company, so some newcomers even sign a lifetime contract and will work for the company for the rest of their lives.

"And, as you just said, you are a newcomer, you are a ghost, you are a genius, you can compose lyrics, arrange music and write and sing, the songs you write are innovative, you are good at discovering some things in life that poke people's tears, you have the conditions that an independent musician should have. But you don't know how hard it is to be an independent musician, you're still a newcomer, do you have the money? Music is very expensive, and do you have a channel to promote songs? Yang Ying told him very seriously, in fact, he also hoped that Chen Mo could recognize the current situation, and it was better to be practical!

"So I'll think about my future path, my journey is very difficult, but I also want to achieve it, I want to promote the folk song to every corner, I believe I can do it." Chen Mo said, full of confidence, as if he saw the dawn of the future!

Yang Ying didn't know what to say, this boy was very persistent, but he was also very confident, and this level of confidence made people have a state of having to believe.

She suddenly felt that this boy was different from what she had originally thought, very special, very persistent, very freedom-loving, very self-minded, and a little handsome, she couldn't help but look at it for a while.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Mo found that Yang Ying was looking at him, in a state of obsession.

Yang Ying turned her head to look at the stage a little shyly, there was still a competition on the stage, but it was almost over, Yang Ying still looked at the stage, although the person on the stage didn't sing very well, and said: "It's nothing, I just listen to other people's singing, I'm here to listen to the song, it's very good." ”

Of course, Chen Mo knew that she was changing the topic in order to alleviate the embarrassment. He smiled and said, "The game is coming to an end, and our meeting tonight is almost over, looking forward to seeing you next time!" ”

"Chen Mo, do you really insist on being an independent musician?" Yang Ying asked again.

"Yes!"

"If you persist and succeed, you need a music player to publish your own songs, I hope you can give priority to NetEase Music, I like your songs, I want to be your music editor, this is also my personal request, is it okay?" Yang Ying said.

"I'm afraid that your company won't give me this opportunity to play, after all, I'm not an artist in your company, and I have to hope you can help!" Chen Mo said.

This is true, players generally provide a platform for their company's artists, of course, there will be some artists who are not the company's artists on it, but they are all stars with a certain reputation, who can bring a certain amount of traffic to this player, and Chen Mo is a newcomer, even if his songs are liked by most people here, but there are still very few people who like his folk songs now.

"If I can help, I will definitely help," Yang Ying replied loudly. Maybe he was moved by Chen Mo's persistence.

On stage!

Next, the last contestant, Song Yang, was invited to the stage. Ma Yinyin continued to preside.

Song Yang, who was carrying a guitar on his back and had some swarthy face, came on stage like this.

He was a little nervous, he was not Chen Mo, he was not a star on the eighteenth line in his previous life, he was just a student in the ordinary class of Huayin Academy.

The musical accompaniment gradually sounded, the drum beat of the band teacher, the sound of the horse-head fiddle, and the clean and elegant guitar chords gradually sounded.

Let me look at you again from south to north

It's like being blindfolded by the Fifth Ring Road

Please tell me about that day again

The girl holding the box and the man wiping the sweat

I know those summers

It's like youth that can't come back

In place of dreams, it can only be difficult to reluctantly

I know the

will also laugh with youth

Leave me trapped in the city to remember you

Let me take another sip of autumn wine

It won't be long to drive south

I know those summers

Just like you can't come back

I don't expect anything from anyone anymore

I know the world

There are too many regrets every day

So hello goodbye

At the end of the song, the audience was silent. Both the audience and the judges were gradually attracted by the story brought by the song.

Although I had just heard a folk song sung by Chen Mo, the audience still liked this new genre and new song type, which seemed to tell the story through songs.

The audience, the judges and teachers were all brought into the story.

They seemed to hear from the story the girl holding the box, the grandmother of the little fat man in Song Yang.

They seemed to see the seven or eight-year-old little fat man who had just learned to play the guitar and the neighbor's children sitting together on the not so clear, even some smelly river or the bridge of the Anhe River, playing and singing all night, going back to sleep when the morning was dawn, playing game consoles when he woke up, and eating grandma's cooking when he was hungry.

Although the water under the Anhe Bridge at that time was not clear and even a little stinky, Song Yang still liked to play the piano and sing with his friends by the river. As if this can set off their otherworldly temperament.

"The moment the music sounded, even the wind carried regretful sadness." A spectator muttered.

"It's that I'll never be able to meet your requirements, but I've worked very hard to fulfill every one of your requirements, why can't you wait for me any longer" An audience member burst into tears.

"Some people are born to be the protagonists, and some people work hard all their lives to be a passerby, but I have always been a real passerby." One of the audience members said in a slightly low voice.

Listening to this song, the more I listen to it, the quieter it becomes, as if a good song can touch the heart.

"Girl, I have seen the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, drenched in gentle rain, climbed the high mountains in the north of the country, and blown the biting wind. I have seen the rising sun and the sunset of the sunset. But I'm still not satisfied, I want to see what you pretend to be under the sun and moon but can't fit my eyes, and the green silk over the shoulder, gliding over my lotus root. But ah, the rain will stop, the flowers will be thanks, we will be separated after all, and I will give myself to the state. A classmate who was about to join the army muttered silently.

The song brought many people into the world of music at once, and all the unhappiness of the audience was released without reservation, and all the unwillingness and all the negative energy were vented with the music.

"I hate the gap between northern and southern Jiangsu, I hate endless classes, endless homework, endless test papers, and the same difficult test papers, but I can't escape from it. I hate this yellow mud and the growth of me in this yellow mud, I want to go to southern Jiangsu to see his prosperous buildings, I want to go to the northeast to see the heavy snow. Later, I fought for my head and bleed, and finally came to the northeast, stepping on the black earth, and when the wind blew on my cheeks, I only stabbed, and I could no longer smell the fragrance of wheat and osmanthus on the yellow earth. ”

An audience member who grew on the yellow earth said with tears on his face.

There are also people who slowly express their feelings as the music ends.

"When I was a child, I didn't understand why a rope could tie a cow to the fields all day, and now an invisible shackle traps me between day and night.

Later, I realized that the cow and I both have their own fatal weaknesses, the cow's nose is too soft, afraid of pain, my life is too short, afraid of poverty, the cow's life is only for grass, and I have spent my life only trying to eat and wear, empty of free body in the world, but not free people in the world" An audience member sighed.

"When I was a child, I thought it was a big deal to forget my homework, when I was in high school, I felt that it was a big deal not to be admitted to college, and when I was in love, I felt that it was a big deal to be separated from the person I liked.

Looking back now, those mountains that are difficult to cross have actually been crossed unconsciously, and what I thought was unacceptable in the past was finally accepted by time under the run-in, and life is full of imagination.

Regret is just the norm, in fact, life is a process of enjoying the process, no matter what choice you made at the beginning, you will regret it, but at the same time, everyone knows that we can't stand in the current perspective to criticize ourselves at that time.

Even if time is repeated, with the mind and experience at the time, the same choice will still be made, so does the ending of the story still matter? You can earn it again when the money is gone, you can find it again if you lose your job, you can make friends again if you don't have friends, and you can meet again when love is gone.

True strength is not to forget, but to accept, to accept parting ways, to accept the impermanence of the world, to accept loneliness and frustration, to accept sudden feelings of powerlessness, to accept confusion, insecurity, anxiety and regret.

You just need to calm down, do what you need to do well, finish the road you should go, life is so short, there is no so-called standard answer and perfect life, looking back, the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains, this is life! A middle-aged uncle said with emotion.

The audience at the scene was full of emotion, and the judges and teachers on the stage also felt a lot in their hearts, and they naturally understood the story in the song, which was a song written for grandma.

The sound of the horse-head qin at the beginning of the song seems to pull them back to their era, and several slightly older judges and teachers came from that era.
