Chapter 75 Brother Fan, you are a professional at paddling! (Thank you very much for the recommendation vote for Chapter 107 by Brother Ken)
The four people each had their own plans for this song. It didn't really matter how well they sang, what mattered was who they sang with, so everyone tacitly left the C position to Lin Fan.
Lai Siu-tung tried to deceive him: "Brother Fan, I'm not leaving the center position to you on purpose, but the pitch of this part is too high, and we can't sing it!"
Chen Xianwu assisted: "That's right, Brother Fan, you know how good our singing skills are. You're the only one who can sing such a high note. We have no chance!"
Zhang Yi played the supporting role: "Why don't we all give it a try, Brother Fan, you can see who can sing it well."
Lin Fan thought what they said made sense: "Then let's try singing them all!"
Lai Siu-tung was the first to go on stage. I have to say that Lai Siu-tung is a fair and tender child, and his voice has a youthful and sunny texture, making him quite recognizable.
However, Lin Fan, who activated [Mandatory Skill: Singing in Tune] and [Absolute Pitch], could tell from the first sentence Li Xiaodong said that this kid's singing skills were really not that good! Chen Xianwu's singing skills were a little better than Li Xiaodong's, but unfortunately, he really couldn't sing up!
Not to mention Zhang Yi and Wen Yang, who had nothing special about them except that they didn't sing out of tune. Their voices were average, their singing skills were average, and their dancing and rap abilities were also average, so they were chosen for the vocal group.
After all four of them finished singing, they all looked at Lin Fan with expectant, glowing eyes. Lin Fan held the lyrics and suddenly didn't want to sing anymore!
These four guys are deliberately setting a trap for me! They clearly know that my only talent is singing, but they still deliberately leave the C position to me! What are they planning? Do they really think I don't know? Lin Fan glared at Li Xiaodong and the other three viciously.
Li Xiaodong is not afraid of Lin Fan at all. After all, he is a man with a "VIP" buff.
"Brother Fan, just show off! Even if you're not doing it for yourself, you're doing it to add points to our group! Think about it, you're such a great singer, even Teacher Ding praised you. With you here, our game is basically a big one!"
Chen Xianwu also said: "Brother Fan, please win without any effort! The vocal group is already relatively weak in terms of competitiveness. If a big man like you still wants to hide your weaknesses, then we will have no chance to compete with the rap and dance groups!"
"That's right, Brother Fan, please, please, I beg you to lead me and win without any effort!"
Lin Fan was completely speechless. It turned out that he was not the only one who wanted to paddle. These four people were also paddling to another extent! While paddling, they pulled his legs and shouted, "Brother Fan, please take us to paddle together! After all, you are a professional at paddling!"
"Alright, alright! Stop flattering me!" Lin Fan was helpless, "That's it!"
…
With the second performance approaching, Zhang Xinlan finally came to the factory with a contract to purchase the copyright for the cover song. Lin Fan felt that he had been waiting for so long that the flowers had withered. He thought that Zhang Xinlan had changed his mind and no longer wanted the copyright for the cover song "Walking in the Rain".
Lin Fan was unwilling to endure the pain of watching the little money slip away from him.
Fortunately, Zhang Xinlan did not change her mind.
Zhang Xinlan borrowed a conference room from the "Morning Star" program team, turned off the live camera, and handed the contract to Lin Fan and Lian Xiaoyu.
Yes, Lian Xiaoyu rushed to the factory immediately after receiving the news that Zhang Xinlan came to Huahai Island. She had promised Lin Fan that she would help him sign a contract with Zhang Xinlan, so how could she break her promise! Even if she didn't know how to read the contract, Lian Xiaoyu had to bite the bullet and get it done! She broke back Lin Fan's perception of her as "unreliable" and tried hard to show the image, temperament and strength of a qualified agent who was heading towards excellence.
Lian Xiaoyu took the contract seriously and read it carefully. From time to time, he raised his doubts about some clauses in the contract and asked Zhang Xinlan's assistant to answer them. He looked very professional.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface.
Zhang Xinlan and Lin Fan were chatting: "I heard Xia Yan asked you to sing a song?"
Lin Fan was surprised: "You know all this?"
Zhang Xinlan smiled and said, "There are actually no secrets in the entertainment industry, and Xia Yan and I are good friends. She is on vacation at Huahai Island, so we talked about it right away."
Lin Fan suddenly realized, no wonder Lian Xiaoyu came so quickly! It turned out that he knew from Xia Yan that Zhang Xinlan was coming, so he rushed directly to the factory.
Zhang Xinlan asked, "How is it going? Have you got an idea for the song for Xia Yan? I'm really looking forward to it. I believe that with your level, the song tailor-made for Xia Yan will definitely not be bad."
Lin Fan thought, it has been two days since Xia Yan asked him for a song, so it seems like it’s time to reveal some information, right? Otherwise, it would be a bit scary to just quietly take out a song and give it to Xia Yan.
So Lin Fan nodded: "I have some ideas. If everything goes well, it should be almost done in a few days."
Zhang Xinlan was surprised. She had just asked casually, but she didn't expect that she would reveal such a big news! Is it difficult to write a song? Of course it is difficult, because you need to know how to play instruments and music theory, know chords, find rhythm, identify timbre, add rhythm, write lyrics according to the music, change the music according to the lyrics, etc. These are not things that can be done overnight. The most important thing is that you need inspiration.
Is it easy to write songs? It is also easy, because sometimes inspiration allows you to complete a song in a very short time. In the previous life, a certain Zhou surnamed boss suddenly got inspiration during the celebration banquet of a concert, and wrote a song in just ten minutes - "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class". Although the lyrics of this song were complained by fans for not being gorgeous enough, it received more than 100,000 comments as soon as it was released, and won the Golden Melody Award of the Music Festival that year.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Whether it's songwriting or other creative work, inspiration is a very important thing.
What is inspiration? In terms of songwriting, it can be a lyric that flows through your mind inadvertently, a melody you hum casually, a rhythm you get by chance, a timbre on a synthesizer that you get by chance, and of course, a few ordinary chord progressions. These can all be called inspiration.
Inspiration can trigger your desire to create and become the driving force behind your creation.
However, it is unknown when inspiration will come and whether you will be able to grasp it in time. You must also have sufficient professional standards. After all, when inspiration comes, if you do not have sufficient musical professional ability and professional qualities, you will not be able to grasp the inspiration.
Inspiration has always been a gift from God to those who are prepared.
Many composers and lyricists write down their daily inspirations, savor them at any time, and then put them together with other motivations to gradually combine them into a complete work.
So when Zhang Xinlan heard Lin Fan's answer, she was a little excited: "That's great! I can't wait to hear your new song! If you finish this song, please let me know. If I don't have any other announcements at that time, I hope to hear Xia Yan's first performance of this song in person!"
Lin Fan laughed dryly: "Of course, of course."
I am very grateful to Brother Ken for his 107 recommendation votes, and also very grateful to "Little Goldfish in the Sunshine" for his 50 recommendation votes, and to "25 Hours Online a Day" for his 81 recommendation votes! I can't write the title, please forgive me! Thank you all, I am really flattered! Nothing to say, I will continue to express my gratitude with three updates today!
