Universal Music Group urged him again and again. In fact, Zheng Qian really didn't delay on purpose, but because his schedule was too busy. But now, he just relaxes wholeheartedly for a day. When he wakes up in the evening, the light of the setting sun shines through.
Passing it to his hand through the window, Zheng Qian felt empty at this moment, and countless musical symbols appeared in his ears, dancing like elves.
When these music elves are connected hand in hand, familiar and unfamiliar melodies begin to appear one after another.
Zheng Qian looked at the ceiling, the sounds of these melodies rang in his ears, and for a moment, he felt extremely happy inside.
He stood up, walked to the piano installed in his bedroom, sat down, opened the cover, and then took out a pen and paper. He played a beautiful melody with his left hand and recorded tadpole-like notes with his right hand.
Gradually, pieces of music appeared under his pen, and countless notes began to dance on the tip of the pen.
The first song is called "Safe and Sound", which is translated as "Safe and Sound". This song is one of the classic songs of the former country music queen Taylor Swift. It is also the official promotional theme song of "The Hunger Games". In 2013,
This song won the "Best Song for Film and Television" award at the 55th Grammy Awards. The reason why many people fell in love with Taylor Swift started with this song.
"Safe and Sound" has an ethereal and charming musical atmosphere. In the original song, there is a guitar accompaniment that gradually changes from weak to strong, with clear layers, coupled with Taylor Swift's highly recognizable voice, giving people a soothing and warm feeling.
The feeling conveys the hope that the darkness will eventually dissipate, and the brave and determined people will eventually survive the crisis unscathed.
The key of this song is mainly G major, with a gentle rhythm of 72 beats per minute, and the range must span from G3 to D5. Most people can rarely accurately convey the meaning of the original song.
But this is a piece of cake for Zheng Qian, because no one has a wider vocal range than him.
In fact, Zheng Qian was not very fond of this song in his previous life.
But today, in such an empty and lonely environment, the melody of this song suddenly came to his heart, giving Zheng Qian the urge to write it out and sing it no matter what.
Thus, the song "Safe and Sound" was born.
But after writing the demo of this song, Zheng Qian's urge to write songs still did not stop. The surging creative desire in his heart made Zheng Qian sit down at his desk and continue writing the second song.
From time to time, beautiful music comes from the piano.
Liang Rong and Zheng Wei, who originally wanted to call out to Zheng Qian when they heard the noise, stopped in front of the door. After eavesdropping outside the door for a while, both of them showed expressions of surprise and relief.
smile.
So he turned around and left, leaving his son enough time to create. At the same time, he also specifically declined all the neighbors who wanted to come and say hello to Zheng Qian.
Although it is a bit rude, it is rare for a son to have such creative inspiration. Of course, parents must do their best to protect it.
After Zheng Qian finished writing "Safe and Sound", he naturally followed this emotion and wrote the song "Earth Song".
This is a song written by the former singing great Michael Jackson himself and translated as "Song of the Earth".
How dare ordinary people come up with such a song title, but if it were Michael, then it would be fine.
As the name suggests, this song is a great single composed by Michael to call on mankind to take action to protect nature and the earth on which we live.
In this song, Michael uses dripping emotions, high-pitched high-pitched roars, and sheds tears to tell all the good things that are leaving us: "Have you seen that the earth is crying and the coast is crying? Where is all peace?
?Where are the fields filled with flowers? Where are all the dreams that belong to you and me? The sacred land is torn apart...Have you forgotten the children who cried and died in the war?"
When Zheng Qian wrote these lyrics, he felt the weight of the times weighing on him.
You must know that although this song is not top-notch among Michael's series of classics, it is a song that can completely make Michael a god. With such a song, Michael's popularity in the world music circle
The pace of progress becomes smoother.
Of course, the reason why this song is canonized is because it has never been sung live. Michael has also sung this song on the stage with relevant records. Many people think that only Michael can sing this song.
Singing, but really, it's just a clever mix.
However, just because Michael can't sing live doesn't mean Zheng Qian can't.
As the world's top tenor, Zheng Qian's strength is obvious to all. Even without these classic songs, Zheng Qian himself can become a great singer.
And with Zheng Qian's current lung capacity, even if he were allowed to dive into the water for ten minutes, it would basically be easy.
Even if Zheng Qian is willing, he can break many world-class Guinness world records.
Therefore, Zheng Qian does not think it is difficult to sing the divine song "Song of the Earth". After all, he is a tenor who can even sing "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" with ease
With a flood of literary thoughts, Zheng Qian continued to write the third song.
For the third song, Zheng Qian changed his mind. After all, the whole album cannot only have such tragic songs, but should be more diverse. In this way, Zheng Qian will not be tied to any one style, and at the same time, it should be more diverse.
Can expand the fan base.
This is something that some top celebrities often do. Although Zheng Qian is not as well-known as those first- and second-tier singers in Europe and the United States, he is a real king in Asia, and the king is qualified to do this.
Therefore, for the third song, Zheng Qian wrote "In The End", which was translated as "In the End".
This song was sung by the American rock band Linkin Park in its previous life. The song won the MTV Music Video Award for "Best Rock Video" and was shortlisted for "Video of the Year" and "Best Group Video"
"With" award.
The reason why Zheng Qian wrote this song is because he still remembers a performance by the original singer of this song, "Linkin Park". That time was a concert of "Linkin Park" with tens of thousands of people. When the whole audience started to follow the rhythm,
Swinging, the charm of the song "In The End" was revealed when thousands of people in the audience sang in chorus at the same time.
The version in which thousands of people sang together was once hailed as a god-level scene by fans in the Western world.
Zheng Qian actually also yearns for the chorus version. Although his own songs are often sung loudly at concerts, such as the song "Really Love You", because Zheng Qian's songs have more high notes,
So there are not many opportunities to be able to sing the whole song together.
As for the appearance of this song "In The End", Zheng Qian made it clear that he wanted to be lazy in the future concerts with tens of thousands of people, learn "Linkin Park", and directly let the whole audience sing this song.
The idea is good, but how to realize it in the future depends on Zheng Qian's continuous efforts to open up the European and American markets. Although he has held two concert tours throughout Asia, he also has a large number of fans in many Southeast Asian countries.
, but if he wants to conquer European and American fans and start a concert model with tens of thousands of people in Europe and the United States, Zheng Qian's current popularity is still a bit dangerous.
However, Zheng Qian is confident that after the album is released, it will bring a series of predictable explosive popularity.
So what if I am a yellow race?
People of the yellow race are on their way to the altar in the Western world.
After finishing three songs in one breath, the sky was completely dark. Zheng Qian turned on the lamp and continued to play the piano and write songs in the dark room without any intention of taking a rest.
In the fourth song, Zheng Qian returned to rationality and began to think about the songs that had been popular all over the world in his previous life. There is no doubt that the song "Baby" came into being.
This song that completely made Justin Bieber a god has set off a meteor whirlwind all over the world. It has huge popularity not only in Europe and the United States, but also in Asia and Africa. The commercial value this song can bring is unparalleled in all industries at that time.
It is unimaginable for people inside.
At that time, the Internet was exploding, and Internet users around the world were growing explosively. As soon as the song "Baby" was released, it entered the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It successfully reached the No. 5 peak in the first week, becoming Justin Bee.
It was the highest-charting single to debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
Soon after, the MV for this song became the most viewed music video on YouTube. Later, the video was viewed more than 1 billion times, setting a new record on the website and becoming the first single MV to be viewed on-demand on the website.
An artist who has been viewed over 1 billion times.
The popularity of "Baby" at that time is still fresh in Zheng Qian's memory today.
Therefore, if you want to completely break through all the barriers in the Western world, it is absolutely necessary to have a pop song like this that can quickly become popular all over the world.
"Baby" is a medium-fast pop song that incorporates Teen pop, R&B, Dance-pop, doo-wop, hip-hop, and disco strings from the 1950s.
The song clearly takes cues from Michael Jackson's musical style and sounds like a perfect summer single.
However, at that time, Justin Bieber's singing talent had not yet been fully formed. Although he sang with rhythmic flexibility, his voice was nasal and therefore lacked appeal.
But this point is not difficult for Zheng Qian.
As a mature and great singer, his singing skills are naturally among the best in the world, and he can control various styles of music.
For songs like "Baby", when Zheng Qian sang it, he could almost sing it easily without any difficulty.
With the first four songs, this album basically bids farewell to the concept of "hitting the streets", so Zheng Qian's subsequent creative pressure will be much less.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Zheng Qian wrote another song called "Beat It" by Michael Jackson to make this song even more legendary.
After all, it is one of the 500 classics in the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it is also one of Rolling Stone magazine's 100 best rock guitar solos. Zheng Qian has full confidence in such a divine song.
However, human energy is limited after all. Zheng Qian did not continue to write complete songs. Instead, he wrote out pieces of melodies that he could think of, and wrote demos of tens of seconds for each one, and then added them one after another.
.
For example, "Past Lives", "Right Now", "No Roots" and other songs with obviously outstanding melodies would be played by Zheng Qian easily, but recorded and kept for later use.
After writing six big songs and several demos, Zheng Qian felt his head was dizzy, even his hands ached a little, and of course, most importantly, his stomach began to growl.
In order to write these songs, he didn't even eat dinner. Now when he looked up at the time, it was already 1:30 in the morning. Zheng Qian slept too much in the afternoon and now he really didn't feel sleepy at all. Although he was overworking his brain, he was more energetic.
So after changing my clothes, I picked up my car keys and drove to the commercial street to find food.
Although it is the second day of the Lunar New Year and it is still early in the morning, people are still coming and going in the night market in Shenzhen City. This is very different from the capital city. As early as New Year's Eve, almost no one was seen in the streets and alleys of the capital city. It seemed like a
It looks like an empty city, and you can never imagine that it is a huge city with more than 20 million people living there.
But Shencheng is different. Although there are many foreigners, there are also many locals. Therefore, even if all the foreigners go home for the New Year, the locals can still support Shencheng's bustling night market.
The car Zheng Qian drives is a Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan imported by his father Zheng Wei. Although the exterior and interior look very luxurious, Zheng Qian still feels that it is not as low-key and comfortable to drive as his own Phaeton.
The road back and forth along the way was also very high, and Zheng Qian was too embarrassed to park at will. After finding a parking space nearby, he wrapped himself in a hooded down jacket and went to a nearby food stall for a midnight snack.
Even though it was almost two o'clock in the morning, the food stalls were bustling with customers everywhere. Some drunk people even sang the lyrics "On your body, flying freely" on the street, which made Zheng Qian's eyelids pop.
Twitch, the lyrics were changed to be too pornographic.
"Pretty boy, what do you want to eat?"
"One xiaolongbao and one bowl of rice rolls."
Zheng Qian lowered his voice and replied to the food stall proprietress. He really missed the rice rolls in his hometown. He had been living in the north and rarely came back, so he was going to eat a bowl of the delicious food he remembered from his childhood.
The landlady is very young, at least ten years younger than the boss. She looks like she is in her twenties or thirties. She is youthful and beautiful. After hearing Zheng Qian’s voice, she glanced at Zheng Qian, her eyebrows twitching a little.
, said very happily: "Okay, can you sit here? Wait a moment!"
Zheng Qian found a seat and sat down. The cold wind blew slightly from the distance, making Zheng Qian tighten his down jacket. The guests at the tables next to him were eating happily, and it seemed that Zheng Qian was a little lonely here.
After the lady boss served Xiao Long Bao and rice rolls, she brought some barbecue to Zheng Qian: "This is for you, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year!" Zheng Qian raised his head with a smile and replied.
This time the landlady saw it clearly, and her eyes suddenly became numb. She felt that her heart was about to jump to her throat, and all the blood in her body began to boil. Her little face was panting heavily, and soon it turned red: "You, you
…”
Zheng Qian looked at her and shook his head.
The landlady seemed to understand what Zheng Qian meant, she closed her mouth suddenly and nodded sharply.
