Chapter 67 Source of Inspiration
The song "Birds and Cicadas" was sung by Ren Ran in the original world and was also released in early July.
The song won first place on the QQ Music Hot Songs Chart, first place on the Kugou Music TOP500, champion on the You Music Chart, and first place on the K-song Golden Songs Chart.
Before this song, Ren Ran was not famous for her songs. However, this song, which was popular throughout the summer and had nearly 2 billion hits, finally made many people know this female singer.
Her song "Listening to the Rain at Night in a Small Building Outside the Mountain" was once plagiarized by "Li Ren Chou". However, "Li Ren Chou" became popular for a while, but she remained an unknown figure.
She also sang "Empty" and "No Man's Island".
When Gu Qingge chose this song, she also shared the background of its creation with her fans.
There is no other way. For someone like her who relies on the god-level skill "Apocalypse" to "create", no matter what song she writes, she hopes that it will be reasonable and worthy of scrutiny.
It is very reasonable to write a song like "Painting" dedicated to You Ruoyu, because there is a word "rain" in You Ruoyu's name and there is also the word "rain" in the lyrics.
In any case, the big-name owner must reduce loopholes when doing things and not copy randomly.
If you use a fake account, you won’t have to worry about this.
The creative background of "Birds and Cicadas" is as follows——
During the summer vacation after graduating from high school, many students who have been admitted to their favorite universities will hold a thank-you banquet for their teachers and invite classmates, friends, childhood friends, and relatives.
In addition to the teacher appreciation banquet, there will also be various class reunions during the summer vacation.
At these diverse class reunions, some are elated, some are gloomy, some talk a lot, and some remain silent...
Of course, Gu Qingge's parents also held a grand thank-you banquet for Gu Qingge.
After all, her college entrance examination results were so good, and she was able to go to China University of the Arts as she wished.
Such a happy event worth celebrating must of course be celebrated in a grand manner.
Now that the Gu family's financial situation has improved, it is no problem to hold a banquet.
The classmates also gave Gu Qingge face, and almost everyone who was free came.
Even Chen Xiao arrived, which surprised many classmates.
Because Chen Xiao had previously declined many invitations to banquets on the grounds that he was busy with his summer job, and his family did not hold a thank-you banquet for his teachers.
However, in private, he invited the teachers to dinner himself, as well as several classmates with whom he had a good relationship and outstanding abilities.
He also called Gu Qingge, but Gu Qingge was still in Pingjing at that time, so he naturally did not go.
Chen Xiao is a man who is full of lies, hypocritical and utilitarian, but most of his classmates can't see that at all. They think he is the kind of dull, honest and bookish academic master. His appearance is indeed very popular with girls.
Gu Qingge’s thank-you banquet was held in a luxury hotel in Handong City.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gu Qingge temporarily left the table. However, as she happened to be passing by an aisle, she saw a girl who had drunk a little too much, crying and confessing her love to Chen Xiao...
"Chen Xiao, I've had a crush on you for two years. I'll also go to Pingjing University, which is not far from Huaxia University. Can we..."
The situation was a bit awkward at the time. Gu Qingge stopped and looked at Chen Xiao with a half-smile, like a spectator watching the fun.
Chen Xiao himself was not embarrassed. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
He smiled and said the most heartless words in a gentle tone: "A female human with an IQ like you, who is a different species from me, how can we be in love? We are not from the same world."
The girl was stunned. How could it be Chen Xiao who said this? In her mind, he was clearly a gentle, knowledgeable and talented scholar...
She must be drunk and having a nightmare!
Chen Xiao thought that since they would never have any contact in the future, why should he pretend to be nice? Besides, he didn't even know this girl.
The girl left in despair.
Gu Qingge looked at him with disdain. She said calmly, "What you just said was actually the truth. How can you treat a girl like this?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I've always been so heartless towards other girls. I was just pretending to be nice because we were in the same school. Now that they've graduated, they're not in the same university as me. Do I need to care about their feelings?"
Gu Qingge frowned and said, "Do you look down on women in your heart?"
"No, I care about both my mother and sister very much. As for the others, they are not as beautiful as you, not as talented as you, and not as smart as you. Why should I look up to them?" Chen Xiao looked calm.
"It's actually the truth. You are too extreme. I suggest you tell more lies." Gu Qingge reminded.
"Thank you. I'm quite confident when it comes to lying." Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "Gu Qingge, when will you release new songs? I'm also a fan. I've downloaded all your songs."
"The first sentence is true, but forget about the second one, it's too fake. I got the inspiration for the new song, and it came from you," said Gu Qingge.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't have the god-level skill of "lie detector", so he naturally couldn't tell whether Gu Qingge was telling the truth or a lie.
It was not until Chen Xiao heard the song "Birds and Cicadas" on Yinyue.com that he was sure that Gu Qingge was telling the truth.
This Gu Qingge is so damn talented!
Even if he rejected a girl on the grounds that "we are different species and not from the same world", it could provide her with creative inspiration.
The lyrics of "Birds and Cicadas" are as follows:
You said youthfulness is the best match for first love
Like light snow falling on the coastline
The fifth season will be released one day
We have time to meet
You said empty bottles are good for making wishes
In the warm moonlight
You showed up on time on the thirteenth month
The corner of the sea is no longer far away
You fly away proudly, the summer I live in
The inaudible declaration has been repeated for many years
The longing for the northern latitude is blown away by the monsoon
Blow away the silent profile
Psalms sung by the distant sound
You fly away proudly, the leaf where I live
Go to different worlds, but never say goodbye
Cang Haiyue's longing for me yesterday
In my mature smiling face
You haven't even glanced at it
…
After listening to this, Chen Xiao realized that Gu Qingge regarded him as the bird that "flew away proudly", and the girl he rejected was naturally the cicada.
What made Chen Xiao speechless the most was that Gu Qingge did not shy away from revealing the source of his inspiration and just treated him as a tool.
As expected, he worked like a slave for Gu Qingge again.
Fans have been lamenting that Gu Qingge is so gentle and considerate towards girls, and so talented, which has won him so many fans!
Someone sang this song like this:
Although it is a love song about separation, the lyrics have depth and connotation. It breaks away from the sentimentality of love and tells everyone in a more metaphorical way that there will always be a time for meeting and separation.
"Flying Birds and Cicadas" was the first of Gu Qingge's three songs to be released. Once it was released, it quickly took the top spot on the "Yin Yue Net" new song list!
The song also soared rapidly on the Douyin hot song list, and its chorus "You fly away proudly, the leaves where I live, to different worlds, but never say goodbye..." has also become the BGM that many short videos like to use.
However, like many popular Tik Tok songs, it is very catchy when you first listen to it, especially the chorus, but after listening to it too much, it becomes a bit boring.
However, for a song like this, it is no problem for the total download volume on Yinyue.com to exceed 10,000, which is enough for Gu Qingge.
