A crayfish feast made the whole dormitory quiet. Maybe it was because it was too late. The whole dormitory was also very quiet and no noisy sounds could be heard.
The dormitory where Qiu Yuan is located is relatively inside, with stairs next to it, so I won't worry about who I'm disturbing.
So under Zhao Hanwei's stunned gaze, Qiu Yuan took a pen and notebook and wrote the lyrics of "Simple Love" in less than a minute.
"Yuanzi, how long have you been thinking about this song?" Zhao Hanwei picked up his notebook and silently read the lyrics written by Qiu Yuan, and then sang quietly for a while based on the music and rhythm that Qiu Yuan had just compiled.
He found that every lyric in the whole song rhymed perfectly. Although the lyrics were indeed a bit simple and a little childish and innocent, this was what "Simple Love" wanted to express.
What Zhao Hanwei looks at is not the meaning of the lyrics, but the rhyme of the entire song.
He also went through the stage of writing lyrics after composing the music. All composers and lyricists basically have a terrible obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, 'you have no idea what crazy things those lyricists will do just to rhyme.'
Zhao Hanwei did a lot of crazy things in order to write lyrics. He even changed the tune to make the lyrics match the rhyme of the song, which was putting the cart before the horse.
From this point we can see that writing lyrics is not just a matter of writing casually.
For Qiu Yuan, a layman, Zhao Hanwei thought he would worry about this word for a whole week or even longer, but in one minute Qiu Yuan handed in a perfect answer sheet.
This made Zhao Hanwei suspect that Qiu Yuan had the inspiration for this song a long time ago.
"Ten years ago." Qiu Yuan gave an answer that Zhao Hanwei had never thought of.
"Ten years ago? How could you think about writing songs when you were only ten years old?" Zhao Hanwei had completely taken Qiu Yuan's words as a joke.
I have indeed been listening to Jay Chou's song Qiu Yuan for almost ten years. I have been listening to it since I was a child.
Zhao Hanwei didn't ask any more questions, because Qiu Yuan had already started to prepare for recording. He closed his mouth and made a quiet gesture to the roommates lying on the bed behind him, and at the same time he also put on another earphone.
Now Zhao Hanwei's heartbeat is very fast. The music has been composed and the lyrics have been written, but Zhao Hanwei still has no idea how to perform this song.
Ten thousand people can sing a song with ten thousand different feelings. If he is a professional producer, he will definitely be able to give Qiu Yuan professional advice.
But Zhao Hanwei is also a half-finished songwriter and lyricist, and Qiu Yuan is even more of a layman. Qiu Yuan has a good voice but has never practiced singing. That is to say, the level of college students who dominate KTV is incomparable with those professional singers.
.
In addition, Zhao Hanwei doesn't know how to tune.
What a headache! Although I wrote such a good song, I couldn’t perform it at my best because of my singing skills!
When Zhao Hanwei felt regretful, the prelude of "Simple Love" had passed, and Qiu Yuan sang the first lyrics.
"I can't explain why, but I became very proactive..."
When Qiu Yuan started singing, Zhao Hanwei's brows furrowed slightly. His words... were a little unclear, and the rest of his words were just hemming and hawing.
This is a taboo in commercial recording, and the recording teacher will kick the singer out of the recording studio to train her.
But Zhao Hanwei didn't say anything and continued to listen. He found that this tone of voice was unexpectedly suitable and interesting for performing "Simple Love"!
That’s what it feels like! That’s right! That’s what it feels like!
The more Zhao Hanwei listened, the more his legs started shaking. At the same time, he looked at Qiu Yuan as if he was looking at a monster.
Qiu Yuan's current singing skills can be said to be at record level, which may be a level that most long-established singers cannot achieve.
On the one hand, the recording equipment at the concert is different from that of the sound recordist. On the other hand, the singer's singing skills are really not good and there is no way to reach the same level as the record and the live performance.
What Qiu Yuan sings now is at record level, the kind that doesn’t require any tuning at all!
"I want to take you... back to my grandma's house..."
When Qiu Yuan sang this, he found that his throat was stuck, so Qiu Yuan coughed lightly, and Zhao Hanwei quickly pressed the button to stop recording.
"It's a pity." Zhao Hanwei said with some discomfort, "If you can continue singing, it will become a popular song."
"It's okay, I can continue. It's really difficult to sing this song." Qiu Yuan found that he still overestimated his singing skills.
Is it easy to cover Jay Chou's "Simple Love"? It's very simple, and even a normal person can sing it.
But Qiu Yuan is now restoring the original tune, which is the original feeling of this song. It is difficult for a giant chicken. Not everyone can sing it. There are a lot of A4 level trebles in this song, and it still needs to be jammed perfectly.
The rhythm of the song.
Without the blessing of systematic and perfect song creation opportunities, it would be impossible for Qiu Yuan to perfectly perform this song.
"Then let's continue recording as we just did?" Zhao Hanwei seemed to have become a master in the recording studio.
"Let's start singing again, the emotions need to be brewed again." Qiu Yuan was trying just now and had no intention of recording the entire song perfectly in one go.
"Toko! Toko!"
Just when Qiu Yuan was about to start singing, Wang Xing from the upper bunk suddenly poked his head out again. Not only Wang Xing, but also the other three roommates who were already lying on the bed were staring at him when Qiu Yuan raised his head.
"The song you just sang was a song you wrote yourself? I kind of want to hear the accompaniment, so...can you..."
At first, Wang Xing thought Qiu Yuan's song was not very good. After all, Zhao Hanwei was teaching Qiu Yuan and scolding Qiu Yuan's various cute tricks at the same time.
But when Qiu Yuan sang it, even without accompaniment, just listening to the rhythm of the lyrics made Wang Xing's heart itch.
This is similar to walking on the street and suddenly hearing a store next to you playing a song that you have never heard of, but it happened to hit your favorite taste, so you want to go back to that store and use the song-listening function of your mobile phone to identify it.
What song.
Qiu Yuan couldn't recognize the songs he composed himself, so Wang Xing was wondering if he could plug headphones into Zhao Hanwei's computer case.
"Take me one!"
"I can't sleep now either."
"Boss, do you still have more headphone jacks on your computer?"
"Yes, yes, but you all shut up and don't make any noise."
Zhao Hanwei handed them the device with an external headphone jack in annoyance, so the other four roommates in the dormitory moved around Qiu Yuan with small stools, and each held a headset and connected the headphone cable to Zhao Hanwei's computer.
When the accompaniment of "Simple Love" sounded from their headphones, they all closed their mouths, and then Qiu Yuan's singing made their legs shake slightly.
Suddenly, a small concert was held in room 507. The singer was an unknown student and there were only five fans. But Zhao Hanwei knew that the song Qiu Yuan was singing... would definitely be a big hit one day.
Brilliant!
The second recording of Qiu Yuan was done in one go. It was so perfect that Qiu Yuan himself felt very happy!
When Qiu Yuan finished singing the last line of lyrics and the end of the song gradually played, the other roommates in the dormitory came to their senses and unconsciously applauded.
"Yuanzi, can you send me a copy of the recorded version of this song? I've been playing this song on loop recently." Wang Xing asked.
"Of course not. This song was written for Wanxiang, and the only recorded version can only be given to Wanxiang." At this time, Qiu Yuan showed his absolute awareness as a licking dog.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xing immediately covered his chest, with a heartbroken expression on his face again and shouted...
"Why am I not a beautiful girl?! If I were a beautiful girl, I could play "Simple Love" on loop until I die!"
"It's better not to be disgusting at this time." After Zhao Hanwei said something, he turned his attention to Qiu Yuan, "If you want to release this song, it will definitely become a hit. It feels like it's almost a chorus, but it's not a problem, so Yuanzi...
How about we sing this song on our 60th anniversary?"
As Qiu Yuan said, if I want to attract the attention of the seniors at the school anniversary, it is better to sing my own original songs instead of covering existing songs.
Although this song "Simple Love" cannot bring an impressive shock, as a student's original song, it is enough for the big shots to pay for the copyright of this song!
"I was thinking that if Wanxiang is willing to be my dance partner, then she can sing this song." Qiu Yuan said.
"This..." Zhao Hanwei was silent for a moment and said, "To be honest, it's really impossible. From my observations over the past two years, Miss Wanxiang, even if you write this song to her, she won't be able to agree to be your dance partner...
"
"I know this well, so I will be prepared when the time comes."
"Any other preparations? Do you... have other ideas for songs?" Zhao Hanwei thought of a terrifying possibility, that is, Qiu Yuan might want to write more than just this song.
"There is still some time before the 60th anniversary of the school. Don't worry, we will see you then."
If Miss Wanxiang really agrees to be Qiu Yuan's dance partner, then Qiu Yuan will definitely sing songs such as "Simple Love", "I Do" and "Write Poems for You" to lick her... ahem, to please her.
But this possibility is very small, so small that Qiu Yuan has never expected it, so Qiu Yuan is ready to sing songs such as "Lie", "Waste" and "Queen" three times in a row.
