Chapter 22: A strange way of writing songs
"Humph!"
Xia listened to the cicada snort, took the mineral water in Xiao Chu's hand, and sat on the sofa to play with his mobile phone.
It's impossible to talk about songs or anything.
She was just angry that he had repeatedly teased her in front of Sister Liu just now, and deliberately stayed to stare at him.
And she really likes to stay here, she doesn't want to come and go, go and come again.
It's too much trouble.
Quiet in the rental house.
Xia listened to the cicada looking at his phone.
Xiao Chu looked at her.
The mobile phone couldn't speak, but Xia Tingcicada was annoyed, and looked up at him, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Chu originally wanted to reply "look at you", but he felt that this was too frivolous and did not fit his own personality, so he said, "Are you really going to tell Liu Jie about our relationship?"
Xia listened to the cicada and glanced at him, "What is the relationship between the two of us?"
"Uh......" Xiao Chu was choked.
He really couldn't answer for a while.
Friend?
Definitely not.
A live-in couple?
More white.
What about roommates?
It doesn't seem entirely true.
After all, Xia Tingcicada only comes over occasionally, staying for half a day or overnight, and he has to be responsible for her eating and drinking.
How can there be such roommates?
To sum it up, it's a bit ambiguous.
So Xiao Chu finally replied: "Unclear relationship?"
Xia listened to the cicada tugging at the corners of his mouth, too lazy to respond.
Xiao Chu also felt a little bored, and was ready to go back to the study and sort out the plot outline behind "River God", so as to improve efficiency when writing.
But just as he was about to turn around, before he could move, he heard Xia Tingcicada's voice again.
"Don't tell Sister Liu!"
Xiao Chu smiled, just now he said that it didn't matter, but he didn't let him say it now?
Miss Xia, have you broken your work?
Xia listened to the cicada hear his ridicule, raised his head, and looked at him with bright eyes.
Xiao Chu quickly lost the battle, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, but what good do I have?"
Xia Tingcia said indifferently: "You said on WeChat before that you wanted to thank me." ”
Xiao Chu was stunned.
So, this is the "hush money" you give me, even if you don't know why I'm thanking you?
"Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it. But the paper can't contain the fire, sooner or later there will be a day of exposed, and you can't blame me then. Xiao Chu could only agree.
Xia listened to the cicada's eyelids and picked at it, noncommittal.
......
An hour and a half later, Liu Jie returned.
The contract is in triplicate and has been printed.
Xiao Chu checked it carefully and confirmed that there was no problem, so they signed each other, and the two sides officially reached an agreement.
The rights of singing, distribution, broadcasting, and network dissemination of the song "Mo" were officially transferred to the other party.
Liu Jie also happily paid a one-time copyright fee of 150,000 yuan to Xiao Chu.
Now that the money is given, let's get down to business.
The three of them came to the study.
Seeing the piano in the study, Liu Jie was a little surprised, and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to set up the studio at home, no wonder he came to the house to talk." ”
"This piano looks pretty new, it just changed, right?"
Xiao Chu secretly looked at Xia Tingcicada.
Xia listened to the cicada and looked away, pretending not to see it.
It's really loaded!
Xiao Chu gave Xia Tingcicada a thumbs up in his heart.
Facing Liu Jie's inquiring gaze, he moved out the set of rhetoric he had used to deal with his teacher, "This piano is not my own, but a friend of mine, she studied abroad, and there is no place to put the piano, so let me put it here first." ”
"I'll keep it for her, and I can use it too. ”
"This piano costs more than 100,000 yuan, right? She even put you here, it seems that your relationship is very good." Liu Jie praised.
Xiao Chu glanced at Xia Tingcicada again, and replied, "It should be, right?"
Liu Jie didn't pay attention to the loopholes in his words, and looked at the environment of the entire study.
The study room is converted from a large bedroom, with a small balcony, which is very permeable and quite spacious.
In the past, he was prepared to write here, and Lin Yu memorized lines and practiced on the side, but now he can't use it, and Xia Tingcicada's piano is cheaper.
After Liu Jie finished looking at the environment, Xiao Chu spoke: "I mentioned when I was in the café that I need to see who the singer is so that I can choose the mode of cooperation. ”
"It's open to say, it's just that my way of writing songs is more special, and I need the cooperation of the singer, that is, Miss Xia, is this no problem?"
No problem, no problem, just weird.
Liu Jie and Xia Tingcia glanced at each other, and Xia Tingcicada nodded slightly.
Liu Jie said: "Of course it's no problem, I just don't know Teacher Xiao, I need to listen to how the cicada cooperates?"
Xiao Chu looked at Liu Jie, then at Xia Tingcicada, touched his nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "I have lyrics and melodies in my head, but I am not very good at composing music, and I need the singer to write it by himself." ”
"This ......" Liu Jie was dumbfounded, feeling that she had met a big liar.
How can anyone write a song like this?
Is this still called writing songs?
Xia Tingcicada just looked at Xiao Chu with some curiosity, and his clear eyes blinked, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Xiao Chu spread his hands and said that he was like this.
Liu Jie looked at him seriously, pulled Xia Tingcia aside, and muttered in a low voice.
"Listen to the cicada, why do I think Xiao Chu's words are unreliable, we won't meet a liar, right?"
Xia Tingcian shook his head, "No, I believe he is not a liar." ”
"How can you believe this, how can you tell if he's not lying?"
"That "Mo" is really a new song, and the quality is also very high, and the music can't be faked. ”
"It's not sure that he got it from somewhere else, and then used it to lie to us. ”
"He didn't come to lie to us, we took the initiative to find him. ”
"......"
"Sister Liu, you believe me, I believe him!"
Liu Jie was still not very relieved, and said with a frown: "Listen to the cicada, this is not a trivial matter, the money is in, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that others are also in." ”
"If he's a liar, it's dangerous, are you sure he's okay?"
Xia Tingcicada nodded, "I'm sure." ”
Liu Jie was helpless, and had no other choice, and said frustratedly: "Okay, I believe you, but I will keep an eye on it, if there is something wrong with him, I will call the police." ”
At this time, Liu Jie, like an old hen guarding her cubs, is ready to spread her wings at any time.
Xia Tingcicada smiled, which made her relax.
On the other side, Xiao Chu couldn't hear them, only saw Liu Jie muttering for a while, while Xia Tingcicada first shook his head, then nodded again, and only said a few very short words.
After a while, the two walked back.
Liu Jie said: "Teacher Xiao, we believe in you and agree to let the cicada cooperate with you." Say, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Chu looked at Xia Tingcicada, and Xia Tingcicada had no expression on his face.
He didn't care what they were talking about just now, and said directly: "In this way, I will write down the lyrics first, and then teach Miss Xia to sing, Miss Xia will learn it, and then compose it herself." ”
Looking at Xia Tingcicada, "No problem, right?"
Xia Tingcicada said lightly: "No problem." ”
It's not easy for her to write a high-quality song from scratch, but it's easy to follow the melody.
After all, he is also a professional singer, and he was born in a professional class.
"Alright, let's get started. ”
Then Xiao Chu wrote the lyrics of the song "Mo" that he sang in the bar on paper in its entirety and handed it to Xia Tingcicada.
Xia Tingcicada watched silently for more than ten seconds, nodded and said, "You can start." ”
"Then I'll teach you to sing sentence by sentence, and you follow along, with your professionalism, it should be almost the same twice. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Chu began to sing.
"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim alone against the current. ”
Xia listened to the cicada and learned.
"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim alone against the current. ”
......
"The vows I made when I was young sank silently in the depths of the sea. ”
"The vows I made when I was young sank silently in the depths of the sea. ”
......
"Relive it a few times, and the ending is still, losing you. ”
"Relive it a few times, and the ending is still, losing you. ”
......
Xiao Chu taught sentence by sentence, and Xia listened to cicadas learn sentence by sentence, just like a music teacher teaching elementary school students to sing.
Xiao Chu taught very seriously.
Xia Tingcicada also studied very seriously.
Liu Jie listened a little strangely.
At the same time, I feel a little redundant.
Well, it's redundant.
