Chapter 4 I have been singing for more than ten years! Can't you just let me enjoy myself?

Feng Nan stared blankly at the "Moonlight" musical notation in his hand, his head was confused!

Outrageous!

It’s so outrageous!
He had imagined ten thousand possibilities.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Lu Chen would sing "Moonlight" in his face!
"Okay, the second one is done!"

At this moment, Lu Chen put down his pen, and the second poem "The Difficult Sutra to Recite" came out!

It may be related to being a time traveler.

Lu Chen suddenly discovered that those popular classics from his previous life were like imprinted in his mind.

Whatever song he thought of, the lyrics and melody of the song, including the arrangement, etc., would pop up on their own, and it was clear at a glance!
Rather than saying it is "creation", it is more accurate to say that Lu Chen copied the relevant information in his mind.

"Ah, you've finished writing again? Come on! Let me see!"

No time to be surprised.

Feng Nan, confused, rushed to Lu Chen.

Just reach out and take it.

Lu Chen: “…”

"By the way, how about this song "Moonlight"?"

Feng Nan took the simple score of the new song.

I immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "I can only describe it in one word: awesome!"

Lu Chen: “…”

Clearly two words...

Feng Nan's eyes fell on the new song.

"'The Difficult Sutra'? Another ancient style poem?!"

Lu Chen put his hands in his pockets and said nothing.

hiss!
Feng Nan took a breath of cold air.

How about we take a look at the song first?

“By the way, this song is in Cantonese.”

Lu Chen reminded.

There is a big difference between Cantonese pronunciation and Mandarin pronunciation.

Why do we always think Cantonese songs sound better?

the reason is simple.

Cantonese has nine tones, while Mandarin has only four.

This makes Cantonese songs richer and more varied in tone, and sound more layered.

Secondly, the creation of melody and lyrics of Cantonese songs pays more attention to the level and tone.

This also makes Cantonese songs sound more elegant and gentle.

Lu Chen knew that Feng Nan was from Guangdong Province, so he reminded him.

By the way, I have written several Cantonese songs before.

But compared to his popular songs, the response was really mediocre.

"Cantonese songs? Why are you trying this genre again?"

"Just watch it first, and we'll talk after you finish."

Feng Nan nodded and concentrated on the song.

It’s still the same old rule, watch and sing along.

"I'm laughing at you for wasting all my efforts~"

"Love chases the beauty of mirror flowers~"

"I'm afraid that luck will pass away in the blink of an eye~"

"Obsessed with greed, anger, joy, hate, and rage~"

……

"Huh?! These lyrics!?"

nice!
I won’t talk about the basic rhyme.

These few key lyrics are worth savoring!

It has the Zen meaning of Buddhist scriptures!
A philosophy of life comes to you!

Compared to "Moonlight"!
The lyrics of this song are even more outstanding in terms of momentum, philosophy, rhyme, and prosody!

In just four sentences, the aura of eating cattle is already evident! !
And the vocal characteristics are very much like Cantonese songs!

Very pure!
This is very rare for mainland singers!

A series of comments automatically come to mind.

Feng Nan's pupils shrank again.

Oh my god! Could this second song be even more explosive? ! !

Feng Nan swallowed hard and continued to watch and sing.

"I blame you for being too greedy for success and power"

“Blame the beauty of all creatures on earth”

"I regret that I was too stubborn in my promises and oaths in the past"

"Fascinated by sorrow, joy, grief, resentment, jealousy"

"Aha~"

"I can't bear to leave the dazzling world..."

……

When singing this.

Feng Nan only felt that familiar feeling of frustration coming upon him again!

This time there is no complicated transposition!

But the lyrics themselves are extremely tongue-twisting!
But not the kind that goes around just for the sake of going around.

But it is full of ups and downs, continuous twists and turns!
The artistic conception of the lyrics themselves makes people linger.

"What a good word! It's really a good word! How did you write this? This word is too difficult!"

This time, the frustration comes more from the amazing lyrics!

Feng Nan's heartbeat quickened. Compared to "Moonlight", he personally liked this song "The Hard Sutra" more!
Because the lyrics are really well written!
But the difficulty of this song is much less than that of "Moonlight".

There aren't that many transitions or switches between high and low ranges.

Basically maintain the E and G tones!

This happens to be Feng Nan’s comfort zone when singing.

however……

however!
Just when Feng Nan thought he had regained some confidence.

He soon found out that he was wrong again!
Superficial!
So childish!
Because the next part of the song made him feel completely dead...

……

"You will never be able to understand this difficult problem after a lifetime of study."

Swallowing the wind, kissing the rain, burying the sunset

Never hesitated
Climb the mountains and sea and walk on the snowy trails

Not desperate
Picking flowers and drinking wine

Crazy about the world
With these two eyes and a hundred arms

Or a thousand hands cannot guard against it
The sky is vast and the snow is endless
Who are you sailing with?
The sand rolls and the water wrinkles

Laughing and wandering
A moment of pleasure

But the daughter was buried with love!"

……

The rhythm is so fast that it takes your breath away, and the lyrics rhyme like a tongue twister!

It is an extreme test of a singer’s lung capacity!
"Cough cough!"

Halfway through the song.

Feng Nan couldn't bear it anymore.

Even if he used up all the air in his lungs.

They can't stand such an intensive and fast pace!

I can’t sing!
This song can't be sung at all!
Even harder to sing than "Moonlight"!

So Feng Nan simply stopped singing afterwards.

Just look at the score.

But watch the whole song.

The pace that followed made Feng Nan completely unable to hold back.

"Brother! This song you wrote makes me... so upset!"

As he spoke, he coughed. This song really hurts your throat!
Lu Chen laughed and handed over a bottle of water: "Come on, have a drink of water."

Feng Nan gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine, looked at the two new songs in his hand, shook his head, and took a deep breath, saying, "Fuck, these songs are so damn good! They have the difficulty and the melody, they are two great songs!
Brother Lu, you don’t really plan to sing these two songs, do you really want to leave your fans with nothing to sing?”

bingo~
Lu Chen snapped his fingers: "You guessed it right!"

Feng Nan: “…”

"But... aren't you afraid of the fans making a scene?"

Lu Chen sat leisurely on the sofa and asked, "Brother Feng, do you think a concert like mine is really reasonable?"

Feng Nan shook his head: "Of course that's unreasonable, but your fans are already used to this kind of unreasonableness, so why are you going through so much trouble?"

Lu Chen pointed at himself: "For dignity!"

As soon as these words came out.

Feng Nan knew that Lu Chen had made up his mind and would definitely not change it.

It's no use saying anything.

"Okay, I understand you. But the concert needs at least ten songs. You only have two now, so you need eight more. Are you in time?"

"Don't worry, it's no problem."

Feng Nan only felt a domineering aura coming towards him!

What a great confidence!
After a pause, he hesitated and asked, "Brother Lu, I have another question. Why is there such a big change in the style of your songs this time? To be honest, these two songs are absolutely excellent! They are much better than your previous songs. How did you..."

Feng Nan hesitated to speak.

Lu Chen knew what he wanted to say.

"Moonlight" and "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra" are of such high quality that they form a sharp contrast with the previous catchy songs.

Even if Feng Nan suspected himself of plagiarism, there was nothing wrong with that.

In fact, it was indeed copied.

It’s just that what I copied were the classics from previous lives.

Can this still be called plagiarism?

However, in the face of Feng Nan's doubts, Lu Chen had already thought of an excuse.

Someone will definitely ask this question.

Even if Feng Nan didn't ask, Zhao Ling would ask.

"Brother Feng, what do you think our company's positioning of me as an artist is?"

Lu Chen changed into a comfortable sitting position and said lazily.

Feng Nan was stunned and said, "The King of Pop, a popular singer."

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, a popular singer! Since he is a popular singer, the songs he writes should be as popular as possible, don't you think?"

Feng Nan's eyes rolled and he immediately responded: "Could it be that you have been focusing on writing down-to-earth popular songs for the company's positioning?!"

Okay, okay, everyone has learned how to answer quickly!

Lu Chen nodded meaningfully: "Yes, as an artist, the most fearful thing is to have a vague positioning. The reason why I always write some catchy songs is because my fans like to listen to these songs.

After a long time, once this positioning is formed, even if I want to change it, the company doesn’t want me to change it. Because it involves too much!”

Feng Nan nodded heavily: "Yes, that's exactly what happened."

Lu Chen: “So, before, I was forced to succumb to the situation. But this time it’s different, I’m doing a closed-mic tour, I’m about to retire, why would I care about that?
As long as the fans are not treated unfairly in terms of music, isn’t that enough?

As for whether they can sing along, does it matter?!
I hope they can’t sing so they don’t have to snatch the microphone from me.

Taking a step back, I have been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. At the end of the day, can't I think about myself once?
Can't you just be willful for once and enjoy yourself?
Am I right? "

Feng Nan's head started buzzing when he heard this.

He felt that what Lu Chen said made a lot of sense and he was speechless!
