Wang Weiran held a timer in her hand. When she called to start, the whole place fell silent.
Shen Qibao and Feng Ling lowered their heads at the same time, picked up paper and pen and started writing without thinking.
Their movements were flying, their expressions were focused, and they would pick up the guitar and strum a few chords from time to time, as if they regarded songwriting as a great cause of nation-building.
And what about Li Qing?
Under the attention of the entire audience, Li Qing raised his head and looked at Xu Azhen standing in the middle of the audience, his expression lost in thought.
He did not quickly pick up paper and pen to create like Shen Qibao did with the wind chimes. Instead, he held a guitar and plucked the strings aimlessly while thinking.
Simple chords spread through the speakers throughout the studio, leaving everyone in awe.
"It's been a minute and he's still not in a hurry?"
"Did he give up?"
"Isn't it possible? Didn't Bao Yunyun say that he could write a song in ten minutes? He wrote "Old Boy" in ten minutes."
"Do you believe this? Haha, it's just hype."
"Li Qing is really talented. This is undeniable. However, everyone's creative habits are different. It may take Li Qing several days to complete a song! Ten minutes is too much to force him."
"I think Shen Qibao and The Wind Chime are half finished, but Li Qing hasn't even started writing yet. It seems like he has really given up!"
"It doesn't matter if you give up, everyone gets stuck in their thinking. Anyway, no matter what, I support Li Qing!"
"Yeah, me too!"
There was a buzzing sound in the auditorium, and people were whispering to each other.
In the audience, director Ji Binbin looked a little stunned.
In fact, he had already communicated with Li Qing before. After proving that Li Qing had the ability to compose a song within ten minutes, he felt free to plan the program. Otherwise, if Li Qing fell out on the spot, According to Li Qing's status, he couldn't do anything.
But now, Li Qing was obviously stuck in a thinking dilemma. Seeing him racking his brains, Ji Binbin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Without that diamond, don’t take this porcelain job!
If you really can't create in ten minutes, you should have told me earlier, and we can just help you cheat in the background!
Well now, the audience was randomly selected, and the questions were immediately selected. This is really difficult.
Just when Ji Binbin lowered his head and thought about whether he needed to extend the writing time, he saw Li Qing slowly put the guitar aside, unscrewed the cap of his pen, picked up the musical score and started writing.
At this time, Li Qing's expression was still unhurried. Even while writing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time, as if he had remembered some beautiful things.
The audience was relieved when they saw this.
Looks like the idol’s inspiration has arrived!
In this case, you can listen to a new song by your idol today!
Soon, when five minutes passed, Shen Qibao and Feng Ling put down their pen and paper almost at the same time and began to pick up the guitar, copying and changing the non-rhyming lyrics and melody at the same time.
Li Qing, on the other hand, was still writing slowly, with an expression full of indifference.
From the moment he picked up pen and paper, he never touched the guitar again, as if all the melodies were already in his mind.
Xie Sijie stared at Li Qing curiously from the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Xiaoqiang couldn't bear the loneliness. While waiting, he stood up and ran behind Li Qing to peek, and then went behind Shen Qibao and Feng Ling to observe, with admiration on his face from time to time.
Sun Peng yawned and smiled at Wang Weiran: "I have a question. If the three of them complete a complete song within ten minutes, how can they comment on the score? It is live singing and the audience decides. Or should we ask industry experts to judge?”
Wang Weiran smiled: "We are not a singing competition. Regardless of the ranking, as for whether the work is good or bad, let the audience comment privately!"
Just as he said this, Wang Weiran noticed that Li Qing had raised his head, and the old god was listening to his conversation with Sun Peng.
She couldn't help but feel funny: "Li Qing, shouldn't you be actively creating now? Time is running out, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Hearing this, Li Qing shook the lyrics and music book in his hand and said innocently: "It's already written!"
"What?" Wang Weiran was dumbfounded, and then quickly looked at the timer, then raised his head suddenly, and said in shock: "It has only been seven minutes, and you have already written it? No, you only spent two minutes thinking before, In other words, it only takes you five minutes to compose a song?”
The speech here undoubtedly affected Shen Qibao and Feng Ling. The two of them were still changing the melody and lyrics of the song. When they heard the host's conversation, they all raised their heads in astonishment and looked at each other. Li Qing has a smile and a calm demeanor.
He...has already written it?
"You...don't you check it carefully? Or modify it or something?" Wang Weiran asked in disbelief.
Li Qing smiled: "It's already a perfect song, no need to modify it."
"Okay!" Wang Weiran looked surprised and uncertain.
Shen Qibao and Feng Ling looked at each other and noticed the shock in their eyes.
But then, they realized the urgency of time, so they shook their heads, lowered their heads, and began to speed up the final song debugging.
After a while, the ten minutes of creative time officially ended.
The works of Li Qing, Shen Qibao and Feng Ling have also been completed.
At this time, Shen Qibao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He was once a student at the Conservatory of Music and stayed at the school to teach after graduation, teaching for more than ten years.
In the Conservatory of Music, because he could hum a good melody casually, he became an idol in the minds of many students. He was sought after by many teachers and students. He was a famous creative talent at the Beijing Conservatory of Music!
Composing a complete song within ten minutes is undoubtedly his greatest strength in life, attracting countless students to attend his classes.
However……
Li Qing actually composed a song in five minutes?
This is completely impossible!
Shen Qibao was a little unbelievable, because even he could only write a complete song or lyrics when his inspiration was extremely high, but if he wanted to write music and lyrics at the same time, he would definitely be asking for death. In the end, it can only end up with a bad job that is not flattering on both sides.
How can one do two things at once?
Wind Chime was equally shocked.
But she is a woman who keeps her emotions secret. Therefore, even though she has a lot of curiosity and doubts about Li Qing's works, she restrained her impulse to ask questions at the show and just sat on the sofa. , silently waiting for the results to be announced.
"Whose song should I listen to first?" Wang Weiran asked with a smile.
Her question was a bit redundant. Almost all the audience at the scene shouted in unison at this moment: "Li Qing!"
Yes, Li Qing, we just listen to Li Qing!
Even Shen Qibao, Feng Ling and others nodded silently at this time.
What kind of quality does a song created in five minutes have?
This is the question on everyone's mind right now.
Seeing this, Li Qing didn't hesitate. He hugged the guitar at his feet and began to tune the strings silently, preparing to be in the best condition to welcome this new song.
The staff quickly took out a music stand from the backstage and lined it up in front of Li Qing.
When everything was ready, Li Qing put on the earphones and said into the headset: "This song is called "Grandma Said". It is dedicated to classmate Xu Azhen and to all the audience friends present. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The son wants to be raised but the relatives won’t wait. I wish time would pass more slowly, some people really can’t wait.”
Some people really can’t wait…
Wang Weiran and others pondered this sentence carefully, and they suddenly felt sad.
While Xu Azhen was pleasantly surprised, when she heard Li Qing's words, she suddenly felt a surge of sadness in her heart.
She stared at Li Qing closely, with a trace of longing in her eyes.
Grandma, you are so kind, how about over there?
Li Qing lowered his head and played the first chord in front of everyone's attention.
When the guitar strings sounded, a faint piano sound filled the entire studio.
"Nanny, don't be naughty
Sit down and listen to grandma say
The weather is getting cooler this season and there is a lot of rain on the ground
Girl, don't panic
Come and listen to grandma say
After the thunder has passed, you can look at the clouds..."
Almost as soon as she heard the first lyrics, the tears in Xu Azhen's eyes could no longer be held back, and they flowed down in a thin stream.
Nannan, is my name, Nannan.
In an instant, scenes from her childhood appeared before Xu Azhen's eyes.
That year, amidst the chirping of cicadas, my grandma used a large cattail leaf fan to repel mosquitoes while she was lying on the bed.
That year, that lullaby, that gentle voice.
Grandma, I really hope you can see me grow up and be sensible...
I won’t worry you anymore, and you won’t be as naughty as you were when you were a kid...
Grandma, I love you forever...
"Nanny, don't be afraid
Girl, don't cry
Go to sleep quickly
You listen to a song quietly
Cricket is lighter
Rest quietly
The moon is full
Be good and hug grandma."
Li Qing's voice sang softly, as if telling a story or hypnotizing, but at this moment, this kind of singing was like a stream of clear springs, spreading in the air, passing through the ears, and reaching into the heart, It made everyone's heart tremble slightly, and an indescribable emotion slowly wrapped around people...
"The wind chimes ring softly and the birds sing softly. Who is singing in the distance?
Kissed the rainbow and shocked the clouds
I have become a returning guest
Nannan, you will grow up and walk a long way, and you will feel tired.
Just remember how He Po said ‘Grandma’…”
"This song..."
Feng Chime held her own lyrics and music book, Li Qing's soft singing came to her ears, and her heart palpitated.
She looked down at her lyrics and music book, finally closed her eyes and sighed slightly.
It starts with appearance, focuses on talent, and is loyal to character.
After listening to Li Qing's "Grandma Said", Feng Ling looked at his own works, and they immediately paled in comparison.
One is a song specially customized for the theme person Nannan. Both the music and the lyrics are top-notch.
Looking at myself again, the content of songs composed purely for selfish desires is mixed with love, betrayal and darkness. What does this... have to do with Xu Azhen's request?
This is supposed to be a song written for family love and grandma. From the beginning, my creative direction was wrong...
Feng Ling closed her eyes, held the lyrics and music book tightly, and listened to Li Qing's singing. At this moment, she was convinced.
"Nanny, you will be confused
Don’t forget to walk slower
Slowly you will understand what is missing
The path of life is a choice between gains and losses.
When you get lost, think about what grandma said back then..."
Li Qing sang softly and plucked the strings at the same time. At this time, his eyes were drooping, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Only Li Qing himself knew that when he sang this song, a picture buried deep in his memory involuntarily appeared in his mind.
That year, at the age of sixteen, he knelt beside the bed and wrote to his grandma over and over again.
"Grandma, look, these five words are called 'I miss you', and these four words are called 'I am sick'..."
The young man looked at his grandmother's bewildered look and was a little anxious: "Come on, I'm going to work outside. I'm going to the capital. I'm going to be a star. If you miss me, just write me a letter. I saw the letter
I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
"My dear, I...I can't read!" Grandma said with a sad look on her face: "Please don't leave, please. Grandma will miss you if you leave."
"Grandma..." the young man cried anxiously and said, "Try to see if you can write it first. If it doesn't work, if you get sick, just send me a piece of white paper. I know it's you and I'll come right away."
It’s up to you.”
That year, despite the dissuasion of his family, the young man packed his bags and left home, and got on the long-distance bus to the capital alone.
From then on, Yin and Yang were separated and never saw each other again.
"Look back
after the rain
There are many clouds
Come on, grandma will secretly pick one for you
Wait until you get old
Grandma is gone
You have to remember
Teach your child how to say this local accent
Teach this local accent to your daughter."
As Li Qing sang, the picture in his mind suddenly collapsed.
When he came back to his senses, he found that his eyes were already wet and he was almost in tears.
He raised his head and tried not to let the tears flow out, but the tears still stubbornly fell from the corners of his eyes.
He finally understood the reason why Li Qing was kicked out of the Fire Boys.
Li Qing, who had a gentle temperament, had already passed half a year when he received the news of his grandmother's death.
Because he had never contacted his family, no one came to notify him six months after his grandma passed away.
Back then, Li Qing experienced the death of a relative for the first time. Darkness, decadence, and sadness followed one after another.
His temperament changed drastically.
He always felt that his grandma had not left, and everything happened vividly in his mind, as if he could hear his grandma smiling and saying "The baby is back" when he returned home.
But, she really left.
Really gone.
Every night, seventeen-year-old Li Qing could not suppress his sadness and cried hoarsely under the quilt.
He always wakes up crying from his sleep.
The son wants to take care of him, but he doesn't care for him.
Nowadays, I am successful and famous, but I have no way to repay your kindness.
Grandma, I hope you can be well over there...
"Look back
after the rain
less indifferent
Come on, grandma is waiting for you, she’s still in the village..."
