ultimate superstar

Ye Chen silently listened to Xu Wei's singing, and filled up the wine in front of Xu Wei.

To be honest, Xu Wei sang really well, maybe because he has nothing, so he can sing this song with spirit.

After the song was over, the two toasted tacitly. Xu Wei continued to talk about his past, while Ye Chen just quietly listened.

"After retiring from the army, I started to sing in bars. At that time, I formed a band in Qin'an."

"At that time, the band also participated in performances at some music festivals, and they were somewhat famous."

Sighing, Xu Wei continued:

"Slightly famous, hey, but that's all, so the band disbanded less than a year after it was formed. There was no way, we had to eat even if we couldn't let go of our dreams, and we couldn't get a show job for a few months. We didn't even have a meal. I can't even eat it."

Of course Ye Chen understands, who never bows their heads in front of life.

"I stayed in Qin'an for a period of time. In order to seek better development and a better music environment, I got up and went to Beijing again with a few hundred dollars."

"It was considered lucky at the time, because I was a little famous in Qin'an City before, and I was signed by a record company in Shangjing. The record company is called Hongguangshe. I am still very grateful."

"At that time, with the help of Hongguang Society, I released my first album "Where Is". This album has been sold intermittently for several years, and it only sold 30 copies."

"At that time, there were still a lot of praise in the industry, but only in the industry."

Speaking of this, Xu Wei could not conceal the disappointment in his eyes.

Ye Chen didn't say anything, he just filled Xu Wei's wine silently, and patted Xu Wei's shoulder again.

Xu Wei smiled freely, and continued:

"The record sales were not good, so I terminated the contract with Hongguang Club later."

"During the period after the termination of the contract, I didn't dare to stay in Shangjing. The city of Shangjing is too close to my dream, so it always gives people a great sense of oppression. This oppression even made me develop a new love for music. fear."

Xu Wei spread his hands, and continued:

"So, I chose to come to Tianhai, and opened this small restaurant in Tianhai with the little money I earned from that album. I want to be quiet here for a while."

Ye Chen couldn't help sighing.

Ye Chen believes that Xu Wei is a singer with strong creative ability, and the praise of "Where is" in the industry is enough to prove this point.

But it doesn't mean that a good songwriter can be recognized by the public and become a superstar.

Just like Ye Chen himself, who has a powerful music library in that world, Ye Chen has no shortage of good songs.

But now that so many good songs have been written, only a handful of people know him.

Of course, when it comes to Midsummer Morning Breeze, this can be regarded as Ye Chen's good luck.

It happened that Meng Qi, the queen of the song, was soliciting lyrics and music. If not, Ye Chen's fame could only be limited to a campus like Tianhai No. [-] Middle School.

Xu Wei's songs are very particular about personal characteristics, which are different from mainstream music. This is actually the reason why the music is good, but it cannot become popular.

"Brother Wei, do you still plan to make music?"

Ye Chen asked Xu Wei seriously.

"Of course, I opened this restaurant not only to settle myself, but also to raise more funds for making music. After all, life is a reality. Whether it is releasing an album or doing publicity, money is needed."

Ye Chen nodded solemnly, he thought for a moment, and felt that he should do something.

Ye Chen clearly remembered that in that world, Xu Wei gradually became popular when he released his second album.

Xu Wei's second album "That Year" didn't have much response when it was released, and it didn't even sell at all.

But "That Year" later became a favorite of many rock lovers.

There are such lyrics in the title song "That Year" of the same name:

"For so many years you are still running, seeing tomorrow is still illusory"

"In the face of survival, the pure ideal is so fragile"

Many rock fans will cry when they hear this passage.

"Since "That Year" was accepted by the public in that world, the music environment in this world is not much different from that world, so it should also be accepted by the public."

Thinking like this, Ye Chen said to Xu Wei:

"Brother Wei, are you drunk?"

"The mind is still clear."

Xu Wei said to Ye Chen with a smile.

"It's rare to have such a pleasant chat tonight. Brother Wei can tell me so much about the past, because he treats me, Ye Chen, as one of his own."

Xu Wei continued with a smile:

"There is a saying in the ancients, wine is less than a thousand cups when you meet a bosom friend, and there are too many words if you don't speculate."

"I don't feel comfortable holding these words in my heart. Only with a confidant like Brother Ye can I speak out what's in my heart."

Seeing that Xu Wei really thought clearly, Ye Chen continued:

"Since we are all so interested, why not brainstorm and think about creation."

When Xu Wei heard this, he suddenly regained his energy.

"Creation, creation is good. If I can cooperate with little brother Ye Chen, then it will be a joyful thing in my life."

Ye Chen smiled secretly in his heart, and finally led Xu Wei, a great talent, in the direction he wanted.

The following night, under the subtle guidance of Ye Chen, the two chatted happily on music, Xu Wei's praise and laughter sounded from time to time, not accompanied by the sound of wine bottles hitting the table.

"Well, the writing of this song is really great. However, I always have a sense of deja vu with this song. Brother Ye Chen, it seems that this song has really been written in my heart."

When Ye Chen hummed the rough narrative of the song "That Year", Xu Wei was full of surprise and shock.

"Where is this deja vu? This is yours in another time and space."

Ye Chen thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.

"Where, Brother Wei, is it clear that the lyrics and music were created by the two of us together? If it weren't for the experience you described before, if it weren't for the discussion between you and me at this moment, how could there be melody and lyrics?"

Ye Chen tried his best to be as humble as possible. After all, this is the original author of other people's lyrics and music, and it still makes Ye Chen feel a little embarrassed to give someone else's things.

Ye Chen didn't do it to show off, he believed that even if he didn't do it himself, these lyrics and music would be created by Xu Wei sooner or later.

But looking at Xu Wei at this moment, Ye Chen has already endured too much in life.

He wanted to help Xu Wei to make such good music come out earlier.

"Where is it? Brother Ye is completely polite. The main body of the lyrics and music is you, brother. I just played some inspiration."

Xu Wei said in a very principled way.

This made Ye Chen even more embarrassed:

"Brother Wei, why be polite, the most important thing in creation is inspiration. My inspiration is entirely because of Brother Wei's soul-stirring past."

···

The two talked to each other until four or five o'clock in the morning, when Ye Chen and Xu Wei fell asleep under the double attack of drunkenness and sleepiness.

At this time, two songs have been created.

One "That Year" and one "Gift".

As for the most popular song "Blue Lotus", Ye Chen didn't write it.

After all, Ye Chen just wants to help Xu Wei, a talented person who pursues music persistently, not replace him.

Therefore, the two songs are what Ye Chen can bear, and the most popular song, Ye Chen should leave it to Xu Wei to create slowly.
