Chapter 5 It's Not Easy To Be Charlotte

Although he was very confused, the eldest brother continued to play Liu Hao's other songs.

"Three years of high school, why, why didn't I study hard?

I didn’t get into the same university as you..."

When he saw a few lyrics of Liu Hao's song "Waiting for You to End get out of class", Liu Kai paused and looked at Liu Hao with the same expression on his face.

"Sure enough, it was because he fell in love and found a girl that he liked and was willing to change for her, that's why such an earth-shaking change happened."

Liu Kai mentally found a reason for his brother.

This song also suddenly came to mind that day when I was confessing. When Liu Hao heard the lyrics of this song read by his elder brother, he remembered before.

In the past two months, after Gao Yuanyuan began to realize that Liu Hao had changed significantly, Liu Hao invited Gao Yuanyuan to uninhabited places many times.

She didn't refuse.

When I played this song for her for the first time, the beautiful red clouds rising from the gradually drooping face, and the gradually rising clouds under the long eyelashes were so touching in an instant.

Gao Yuanyuan has basically been captured.

Next, Liu Kai carefully read all the songs on the paper.

Ten songs, equivalent to one album, are all about campus, love, and ideals. They are all carefully selected by Liu Hao and are very suitable for Liu Hao's current age and experience.

Composing these songs is too abrupt.

"This kid is so terrifying!"

It was so shocking that Liu Kai looked at Liu Hao from time to time, and sometimes stared at the song in his hand, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

"How's it going? Is it okay?" Liu Hao asked knowingly as he looked at his elder brother who couldn't speak for a long time.

"Are these really your original songs?" Liu Kai confirmed again.

"I've asked him several times," Liu Hao rolled his eyes and nodded again.

"not bad."

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts, and everyone's taste is different. For example, Liu Kai doesn't like Liu Hao's "original" songs too much.

But Liu Kai cannot deny that the songs composed by his younger brother are indeed good.

"Maybe there will be many boys of his age who like him." Liu Kai sighed in his heart.

"Really?" Liu Hao became even more excited, "Do you think someone will appreciate my talent, ask me to sing, and then we can go on the Spring Festival Gala stage together, become famous in one fell swoop, and become a nationally renowned star..."

Liu Hao followed the plot of "Trouble".

"Stop it, there is no such possibility!" Liu Kai couldn't stand the thought of Liu Hao and quickly stopped him.

Liu Kai added, "If you want to become a singer, release records, and become famous, it's not that easy."

As a veteran, Liu Kai once had such a dream, but was cruelly slapped in the face by reality, and the band he formed disbanded right after graduating from college.

Recalling the past, Liu Kai used his own experience to persuade.

"If you want to be a singer and make records, then you have to sign with a record company.

Then you feel that you are very talented and have the confidence to slowly go to the record company with the songs you created. You think that the record company will sign you, but in fact, more often than not, they will throw your beloved into the garbage like garbage.

In the barrel.

You think you are very talented, and I think you are very talented, but it doesn’t matter. What is important is that the people in charge of the record company think you are talented and think you have the potential to become a hit.

Only if you can make them see your value will they sign you."

The elder brother's words poured cold water on Liu Hao. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Hao also felt that this was indeed the case.

How to put it? For example, in later generations, Fatty Zhou was accidentally spotted by Wu Zongxian and signed into his company. What he only liked was Fatty Zhou’s songwriting talent and asked him to compose songs for other singers.

As a result, the songs composed by Fatty Zhou were returned many times. The song "Tears Know" recommended to Liu Tianwang was directly rejected, and "Nunchaku" written for Fatty Zhang was also returned.

Could it be that these songs were bad? No, it wasn't. Later, Fatty Zhou became popular when he sang his own songs. Many of the popular songs used songs that were originally returned.

Why is this happening? It's just because the person in charge of the record company thinks that his music style is too weird and does not conform to the trend of the times.

But who can predict the trend of the times accurately? Most people have the limitations of the times, and no one can be sure what will be popular in the future.

The eldest brother turned around and said, "However, there is a high probability that you will be signed by a music company. After all, these songs can still reflect your talent. As long as the people in charge of the record companies are not too blind, they will find a way to sign you."

.”

"Um?"

"But don't be too happy too early. Even if you are signed, it is almost impossible for you to make a record and become famous at the beginning. After all, you are a newcomer. In most cases, you have hesitated at the record company for a few years before writing.

Songs are also given priority to other singers."

Compared with other singers who have been famous for a long time, newcomers' singing skills are incomparable and they basically have no fan base. Therefore, the probability of releasing an album is greater and they need more resources to become popular.

Record companies also want to make money when publishing records, and they will avoid risks as much as possible.

In record companies, people are usually ranked based on seniority, and they have to work their way up slowly.

Many record companies are suddenly promoting new artists, not because they are very good, but because some old people in the company have quit or there is no remaining value to exploit, so they are rushing to promote them.

Thinking of Fatty Zhou's experience again, Liu Hao felt it easier to understand, and most of his initial smugness was dispelled.

"It's not as easy to be Charlotte as it is in the movies..." Liu Hao thought to himself.

"Don't think too much. Big brother is optimistic about you. You study hard and leave these things to big brother. Big brother will do his best to help you get it done." Liu Kai encouraged.

"Thank you, brother." Liu Hao was grateful.

"We are all brothers, why do we need to see each other outside?"

"Wait!" Liu Hao remembered something, ran back to his room and took another piece of paper.

"'Lonely Sandbank Cold'?" Liu Kai only saw the track and asked, "Have you also composed other songs? This is adapted from Su Shi's "Bu Suanzi·Huangzhou Dinghui Yuan Residence Works", right?"

"That's right. What do you think of this song first?" Liu Hao said eagerly.

This song is not the song that suddenly came to mind when I confessed to Gao Yuanyuan that day, but a golden song that Liu Hao remembered for later generations.

It is one of Liu Hao's favorite songs, so he was able to write down the complete lyrics and music of the entire song.

Liu Hao remembered that his eldest brother had a girl he liked at the Chinese Opera University and pursued her diligently. As a result, the girl kept giving hope but did not give a clear answer, so she went abroad after graduating from university.

I was left alone and sad for a while.

I've been licking the dog for a long time, and I haven't fully realized it yet, and I'm alone.

The eldest brother is a self-proclaimed cultural person, well, he is also a literary and artistic young man. Given Liu Hao’s understanding of the eldest brother, he will definitely like the tune of this song.

It was just as Liu Hao expected.

When Liu Kai saw the first line of this song, all his attention was on this song.

"My heart has been haggard since you left, and the white tung trees are flying in the wind..."

I started reading it from the first time, and after I became proficient, I sang it with deep emotion. I don’t know how many times I sang it, but I got choked up at the end.

"Still picking up all the cold branches and refusing to rest, with a hint of regret, who should I miss on the lonely sandbank..." I couldn't help but shed tears.

Those who see it are sad.

Liu Hao was really frightened by the strong reaction from his eldest brother, and he was deeply afraid that his eldest brother would become depressed because of this song.

That would be a serious sin and would be too much to regret.

After all, he is the elder brother who has always been kind to him.

"Singing is for expressing emotions. Just sing out your feelings or write them down on paper. Don't keep it buried in your heart and hurt yourself. Let it go and move forward..."

Liu Hao quickly advised.

Liu Kai looked at the song and recalled it for a while, sighed slightly and wiped his tears.

"I understand, thank you..."

"No, you don't understand."

Liu Hao shouted in his heart, and just hugged his eldest brother's arm, "We are all brothers, why should we see each other outside?"

He repeated what his elder brother said to him before.

"It would be great if I could treat feelings like you do, without being so affectionate..."

"Brother, what do you mean by this? How can you frame someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"I've seen you date several girls before, and this time I'm afraid it's another one. Okay, forget it, I hope you really like this girl this time."

"This happened before I was reborn, it doesn't count as me..." Liu Hao muttered carefully in his heart, but he ignored the subtle influence that this body's original memory and personality would have on him.

This is why Liu Hao can integrate into this world very well.

"You wrote this song really well..." Liu Kai liked this song from the bottom of his heart.

"As long as you like it."

Only by coming up with a song that the elder brother really likes can the elder brother truly realize his "creative" talent, and he will work harder to help him select record companies.

This is why even though he created this song that didn’t fit Liu Hao’s personality, Liu Hao insisted on giving it to his eldest brother.

"But how did you create such a song?" Obviously, the eldest brother also realized this.

"Well...it was those days when you were abandoned, brother. I happened to see Su Shi's lyrics, and I was inspired by them. I wrote the lyrics first, and slowly composed the music...

I didn’t want to enlighten you at that time..."

Liu Hao hesitated and stated the reason he had already thought of.

"Um."

The eldest brother didn't question it either, and fortunately he didn't get depressed because of it.

After returning to normal, he asked with a more serious attitude, "Have you registered the lyrics and music copyrights of these songs?"

"not yet..."

Liu Hao was aware of this song copyright issue before, but he didn't know how to register it. After all, the Internet was not popular at this time, and he had no money to hire a lawyer.

I don’t want to ask my parents too abruptly before they are familiar with my changes.

So these days, Liu Hao has not played these songs in front of anyone else. He has only played and sang for her with Gao Yuanyuan when there was no one else.

These are just a few of them.

"If you don't register the song copyright, it won't be yours. If you let others know about it and register it first, then these songs are not yours.

Never underestimate the greed of others. If these things really happen, it will not be so easy for you to get these songs back."

Liu Kai had personally heard of several such incidents of stealing songs before.

“Then where do I need to register this song?”

"You don't have to worry about this, I will do it for you..."

"By the way, brother, when you register these songs for me, the lyricist of "Lonely Sandbank" had better write your name..."

Liu Hao is not worried that his elder brother will steal his songs, but the lyrics of this song are really not in line with Liu Hao's current age and state of mind.

If an album is really released, Liu Hao is planning to use this song as the title track, because the lyrics and music of this song are excellent, and the music style is also popular in this era.

More able to get out of the circle.

If the lyrics and music are all my own, it will definitely arouse more doubts from others. Not everyone can believe in their own explanation as easily as the elder brother.

I want to establish myself as a singer-songwriter, but I don’t want to live up to my words, so it’s best to leave the lyrics to a big brother.

The eldest brother is a literary young man...

As for the income from writing the lyrics for this song, it can be regarded as repayment to my eldest brother.

"This song was originally written because of my eldest brother. I hope that my eldest brother will not refuse..."

Seeing his brother's "fist and heart" attitude, and because he really liked the song, Liu Kai couldn't refuse, so he finally agreed.

"Thanks, brother..."

Finally, the eldest brother hugged Liu Hao and said this, but Liu Hao's bright smile was not seen behind him.
