Chapter 241 Inspiration?
"School hasn't started yet!" This time the two female high school students shouted back confidently.
February 17th is just after the Lantern Festival. If we were in Jiangnan, school would have started on the 14th, which would be last Friday. But here in Northeast China, the new semester usually only starts on March 1st.
"Oh, I forgot, you said you wrote a song, right?"
"Yes, yes, the words I wrote, the music I hum quietly."
Lin Xiao, who had big eyes and a little baby fat, said proudly, maybe because Sun Tao was young or because he still laughed when he was yelled at, Lin Xiao was not as nervous as before.
"What a humming song!!!" Wu Xiaoying and Li Xiaojun exclaimed in unison.
Zhang Jingjing felt the contempt hidden in the two people's voices. Adolescent girls are already sensitive, let alone in a strange environment.
Zhang Jingjing's way of relieving her stress was to keep tugging on Lin Xiao's clothes, "I'll let you talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not telling you nonsense. You've fallen asleep in music class, you can't even speak the five-line musical notation, and you can't all hum the rhythm..." Lin Xiao didn't tolerate her either.
……
Sun Tao looked at the two girls complaining about each other and suddenly came up with an idea. He only remembered the most catchy lines of many Internet celebrity songs. If there were two people like this in the company who had nothing to do and wrote some ordinary songs, he would write it himself. If a suitable paragraph is embedded, it might be the finishing touch.
And in fact, many Internet celebrity songs on Douyin only have one or two lines that are attractive.
……
Sun Tao smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In fact, you are all putting the cart before the horse. Reading music is just a technical job that can be trained. Composing really depends on talent.
McCartney and Lennon of the Beatles, neither of them could read music, and they were too lazy to learn. They just said that what was the point of reading music, as long as they could hum the melody? ”
……
In fact, it is said that Gao Jin and Wu Qingfeng also relied on humming when composing music, but I don't know if they knew the staff.
Gao Jin and Wu Qingfeng are not famous yet, so Sun Tao didn't mention them.
……
Zhang Jingjing frowned and thought hard, but in the end it should be fruitless.
"The Beatles, I seem to have heard of them somewhere? Why can't I remember them?"
"Oh, you don't even know the Beatles. They are the Beatles. Don't you like the song "Hey Judy" they sang?"
"Oh oh oh, the Beatles, they also rely on humming." Zhang Jingjing excitedly asked Sun Tao for confirmation again.
Seeing Sun Tao nodding, she slapped Lin Xiao on the waist, "Look, let me tell you, I am definitely not the only one who composes music by humming. The Beatles all hummed world-famous songs..."
After a while of commotion, the two girls unpreparedly performed a piece of music they composed for Sun Tao and the others on the spot.
"Ordinary Girls"
I am the most ordinary person in this class
I have no scandal and no one cares
You have to do your best to achieve mid-range results
……
Sun Tao admitted that they have some talent, the lyrics are very realistic, and the tunes are catchy.
At least it's much better than "Cramming".
……
From the time the two girls entered the room to the end of the performance, their emotions kept fluctuating repeatedly, tense, relaxed, tense, relaxed, tense!
You could tell from their expressions that they were nervous again. Lin Xiao stammered and asked: "Sun, Brother Sun, how did we sing?"
Zhang Jingjing, "Yeah, yeah..."
Sun Tao curled his lips and said, "The singing is quite average." The expressions of the two girls immediately fell.
Sun Tao continued, "But the song is good. Although it is not enough to release a record or a single, it can be performed in some small occasions."
Lin Xiao covered her chest, "Oh, phew~~~ I was scared to death. I know what we sang is rubbish, so I just asked you to evaluate the song. Don't gasp when you speak."
Zhang Jingjing, "Actually, we can also sing, but I'm a little nervous today." Sun Tao, "I've finished listening to the song. So, you guys came here today to sell me the song?"
Zhang Jingjing nodded blankly, "Her idea is that if you have too much homework during the holidays, you won't be allowed to go out to work..."
Lin Xiao added, "Girls our age can easily meet perverts when they go out to work."
Sun Tao looked at the two of them and said in his heart, "With the way you are now, what you met is definitely not a pervert, but a pervert."
Zhang Jingjing seemed a little unwilling to give up, "Isn't 200 yuan worth it? We just want to buy two guitars..." Lin Xiao pulled her a little this time, "Stop talking, we don't want food, yours Where is self-esteem?”
Zhang Jingjing, "Can self-esteem be sold for 200 yuan?"
Sun Tao smiled and said, "It's really possible. Let me ask you first, have you done any intellectual property protection for this song?"
The two looked at each other in confusion, and Lin Xiao asked Sun Tao in confusion, "What is intellectual property protection?"
Sun Tao shook his head helplessly, "I'll teach you one thing first. You must be on guard against others. If your song is good, I said no, but after listening to it, I released it in my name..."
"Ah???" Can this still happen? Zhang Jingjing couldn't believe it at all.
Lin Xiao opened her mouth wide, "It's impossible, you are a celebrity, your songs have been on CCTV, how could you..."
Sun Tao shrugged, "Then who do you think the words 'dressed beast', 'sanctimonious' and 'gentle scum' were prepared for? I'll teach you a trick, I used to do it this way, put the song I wrote in an envelope and then Use China Post to send a registered letter to yourself..."
After chatting, Lin Xiao pulled Zhang Jingjing up in despair, "Let's go."
——
Sun Tao suddenly stretched out his hand with a serious expression, "I really have to wait, your songs gave me some inspiration." Sun Tao turned his head and said, "Xiaoying, paper and pen."
……
Fifteen minutes later, with six girls watching, Sun Tao wrote a song, "Ordinary People"
I am the nameless person on this road
I have no news and no comments
Try everything you can to get an ordinary script
……
After writing this, Lin Xiao frowned, it was really changed in her lyrics.
But the back part is much deeper than her.
Unknown person, I offer you a glass of wine
Salute your silence and every roar
……
When winter comes in my hometown
After the train arrives
The wind of childhood blows again
Reminiscing about pure happiness
On a familiar street
Someone will call you out with all the tenderness
Name
Sun Tao didn't compose the music either, so he handed the pen to Lin Xiao, I'll sing and you can memorize it for me.
Sun Tao did not sing immediately. He first dialed the phone: "Dududu..."
Lin Xiao couldn't hear what was said on the other side, and only heard Sun Tao say: "I've finished writing, I'll sing it a cappella for you..."
……
You can't tell much about the lyrics of some song lists, but it will be different if you sing them out.
The lyrics of "Ordinary People" are very awesome, and they make you feel even better when you sing them.
——
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiao and Zhang Jingjing walked out of the gate of Qingzhou Culture under the leadership of their parents.
Witnessed by their parents, they signed a "deed of sale", and the copyright of all lyrics and music they created in the next ten years will be owned by Qingzhou Culture.
Lin Xiao’s father, “One of you pinch me.”
Lin Xiao's mother, "You are sick. Haven't you finished pinching everything inside? Hurry up and call your relatives and friends..."
Zhang Jingjing’s father, “Daughter, how much did Sun Nan’s agent just say?”
Zhang Jingjing, "Oh, stop inking. Even the money belongs to our boss!"
Zhang Jingjing’s father, “It is mentioned in the agreement that if I use your lyrics and music adaptation, I will get a 5% commission...”
Zhang Jingjing frowned, "But the boss just used words."
"..."
……
In the company, even Li Xiaojun, who had long thought Sun Tao was a monster, is now in a state of admiration, not to mention that this is the first time Wang Can has seen Sun Tao's awesomeness.
Sun Tao poured a glass of water and walked behind the screen. "Creation is like this. If you have inspiration, you can do it in one go. If you don't have inspiration, you have to endure it. Oh, I'll take a break first. Which of you will follow me to watch Li Mingliang's performance later?"
