The weather in July is very hot.
However, the night wind feels very cool on people, especially the wind blowing from the Huangpu River in the distance adds an extra sense of coolness.
Lu Yuan likes such a quiet night very much.
Under the moonlight, Captain William lit a cigarette and looked into the distance silently. He looked like he was troubled.
Lu Yuanzhan was also looking into the distance. Although he didn't know why Captain William wanted to see him, he was not in a hurry.
From a psychological point of view, Captain William's state should mean that he has something to ask me. At the same time, judging from his constantly shaking steps and uncertain smoking gestures, Captain William should be struggling with something.
Of course, you don’t need psychology to see this, after all…
It's written all over this guy's face.
"Mr. Lu Yuan... after singing a song with you today, I realized that you are a very good singer... so, I would like to talk to you in a little more depth about music..." After hesitating for a long time, Captain William looked at Lu Yuan.
"Mr. William... um... no matter what we talk about, I have one thing to state in advance." Lu Yuan felt that the word 'in-depth' was too vivid and specific. Lu Yuan was a person with normal values, and it was really difficult for him to describe this feeling in his mind.
In any case, he felt that some things should be made public to avoid misunderstandings.
"What's the matter?" Captain William was very surprised when he saw Lu Yuan suddenly become serious.
"I'm not sure what you mean by deep, but I'm not gay, and my sexual orientation is actually quite normal..."
"I'm not gay... I have a wife!" Captain William was stunned. He didn't react for a moment, but then he realized that Lu Yuan had misunderstood him and quickly explained.
He was a little depressed.
Do I look like that kind of person?
I am a married man, okay...
"Haha, Mr. William, just say whatever you want to say, don't hide it."
"Oh...that...Mr. Lu Yuan...you told Director James before that the song "Hotel California" was written by a friend of yours, but the explosive news I found in China News said you wrote it. I want to know whether this song was written by you or your friend?" Captain William took a deep breath. For some reason, this muscular man sounded timid when he was next to Lu Yuan, like a weakling.
He was actually very worried that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.
There is a saying in China: If you don't agree with what you say, there's no need to talk too much.
"Are these important?" Lu Yuan looked at Captain William and laughed.
"this……"
"I guess it was written by me..." Seeing Captain William's face suddenly turn red, Lu Yuan sighed.
The more you talk about making friends out of nothing, the more annoying it becomes.
One lie often requires many lies to cover it up.
so……
Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Oh." Captain William let out a long sigh. "Can I ask you for a song?"
"Ask me about singing?" Lu Yuan was not surprised when he heard this, but looked at Captain William.
"Yes, we have always been a rock band, but things have been getting a little off in the past two years. Although our concerts are still packed, noisy and crazy, I can't find the same excitement I had back then. In other words, I've become a little numb."
"What kind of numbness?"
"Most of the rock songs in FOX were written by me... A few years ago, I was full of creative enthusiasm and knew what path and direction I wanted to take, so every song was full of rock energy, but since last year, I found that I really, to use your Chinese idiom, was unable to do what I wanted... I have written songs in the past two years, but I found that I can only write those old-fashioned rock songs, and they are also very monotonous... I visited many songwriters and invited them to help me write songs, but the songs they wrote were all rock, and even if they were not rock, I couldn't find the feeling I wanted... Do you understand this feeling, Mr. Lu Yuan?"
"Are you considering a transformation?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"It's not a transformation, I just want to... I can't describe the feeling... just... how should I put it?" Captain William's face turned red.
That indescribable feeling really made him feel very painful.
"Oh, wait a moment." Lu Yuan adjusted the small bag he was carrying, and then took out a small notebook from the bag.
"This is……"
"Nothing... Mr. William, don't worry, I'll ask you a few questions."
"good."
"A little more funny, with some dance music, can you accept it?"
"This... funny guy, what kind of funny guy is this?"
"I've seen many of your concerts. You're always very serious during concerts, and you always go for the explosive route. Although it's very shocking during the process, if you keep singing like that, people will more or less become numb, just like a chef who has lost his sense of smell. Is that what you mean?" Lu Yuan supported his chin with one hand and looked at Captain William seriously. He began to ponder the psychology he had just learned.
He found that this thing was easy to learn.
It’s much faster than learning to drive.
"Yeah, that's right!"
"I understand. I think you don't need to transform, but you need to change your style occasionally... For example, you have been singing rock, but you can't always sing rock, and the same style of rock..."
"Yes, it should be like this... yes, yes, yes!" Captain William said yes three times in a row, and his beard was trembling.
"Well, that's right." Lu Yuan nodded, his smile becoming even brighter.
Under the moonlight, he opened the notebook and silently tore off a page.
“Take a look at this song…”
"Huh? This..." After William looked at the song title, he looked up at Lu Yuan, as if he had seen a ghost.
He saw it in the book.
What!
He has already written the song?
etc!
Under the moonlight, William saw that the first few pages of the book were filled with English songs...
Could it be that...
Has Lu Yuan written other English songs?
this……
Isn’t this amazing?
William gasped!
"This song matches the name of your band, right?" Lu Yuan put away the notebook and ignored the strange look on William's face.
"right!"
"The music score and lyrics are all above..." Lu Yuan smiled again.
"This..." William lowered his head to look at the lyrics and music score, and hummed at the same time...
I don’t know if it’s because of the title or the content of the song, but William actually feels that this kind of song is full of a strange vitality.
It seems that every lyric represents a new life.
He closed his eyes and imagined himself and others singing this song.
Lu Yuan also remembered the scene when the FOX band sang this song, especially when a group of muscular men sang this song...
He thought it was really interesting and had a kind of beautiful contrast.
"I want this song. I hope to put it in my new album. Also... I... I want to sing this song tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"That's totally fine, but Mr. William, you should be aware of my rules, right?"
"I understand that I have to pay you $50,000 for the song and get a 10% commission on any sales of the song... I can accept all of that."
"Oh, I'm glad you accept it. Let's sign the contract."
"Uh? Contract? This... you actually brought a contract?"
"Yes, but the contract is not with me..." Lu Yuan took out his cell phone and made a call.
About five minutes later, Wu Tingting walked out of the house.
"Mr. Lu, this is your bag. Let's go inside to sign for it. It's too dark here."
"Okay, let's go to the office inside."
William followed Lu Yuan and the others into the office.
For some reason, he felt that the wind was getting colder and colder.
Mr. Lu Yuan...
Why did he have a feeling that Lu Yuan had foreseen the future?
Did he know in advance that I would ask him to write a song for me so he prepared everything and was waiting for me?
If that's true, it would be terrible.
this……
Mr. Lu Yuan shouldn’t be able to read minds, right?
There shouldn't be any monsters in this world, right?
Thinking of this, William shivered inexplicably again...
After entering the house, the three of them sat in the conference room.
The lights in the conference room were bright, and Lu Yuan took out an English contract and handed it to William.
William suppressed the creepy feeling in his heart and looked at the contract silently.
After seeing the contract, he was stunned.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, this isn't a song profit-sharing contract, this is... a script profit-sharing contract?"
"Uh? Oh, sorry, I took the wrong one... This is for you..." Lu Yuan was stunned and felt a little embarrassed, then took out another contract from his bag.
After taking the contract, William swallowed and subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan.
Script profit-sharing contract...
this……
Could it be that Mr. Lu Yuan has a movie script in this bag?
"I'm going to the bathroom to wash up. The alcohol is taking effect and I feel a little dizzy..." Lu Yuan shook his head.
Even if I was drunk, I could get the wrong contract...
This guy is really drunk.
Lu Yuan stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Um... excuse me..."
"What?"
"How many contracts did Mr. Lu Yuan prepare in his bag?"
"Contract? Just one..."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant... I'm asking, besides the script contract and the song profit-sharing contract, what other contracts are in Mr. Lu Yuan's bag?"
"I'm sorry... Mr. William, I can't answer your question. It's a secret."
"Oh..." William was embarrassed for a moment and then pretended to lower his head and look at the contract seriously.
However, he had no intention of reading the contract right now.
He was a little absent-minded...
His mind was now filled with the neatly arranged contracts and the notebook in Lu Yuan's bag.
There seem to be many English songs in this book.
at the same time……
There seem to be a lot of messy contracts.
He was sure that Lu Yuan's contract included more than just these two items.
There must be other contracts!
Although Lu Yuan's piano is internationally famous, William thought of Lu Yuan's many messy jobs...
This moment...
He suddenly understood!
Because he understood, he felt that his heart was deeply shaken...
Suddenly, for some reason, a chilly feeling wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
This feeling...
It’s his first time!
Yes, this is the first time I have this feeling since my debut!
