Chapter 7 I think I will have a light
Xu Lai's debut stage has been being prepared, and the original single requested by Teacher Kenzie is also being planned. According to what Teacher Kenzie said to Xu Lai: "Talent and hard work, these are the two most important points for success. Of course
Sometimes opportunities lead to success. Now that you have all three and have been learning from me for almost half a year, you have to produce some results, right? You can write complete songs before you learn arranging systematically from me.
It should be even more powerful now."
Moreover, Kenzie doesn't believe that a person with a lot of inspiration can't produce a song.
"Landing Guy", which Xu Lai wrote before he was discovered by a talent scout, made Teacher Kenzie's expectations for him much higher than other trainees. Teacher Kenzie had high hopes for him and she thought he could really make good music.
people.
"I don't have any good ideas about your debut now. This is the decision made by President Jin, you know." Kenzie rarely talked to Xu Lai about topics other than music. It seemed that Xu Lai
Her debut also gave her a lot of opinions.
"However, risks have always been proportional to returns. This is a challenge and an opportunity. After all, as far as I know, the company does not have any plans for boy groups or solo singers this year. You are lucky to be able to debut. As for what you will face after your debut.
What, I believe you also know very well."
"But, you don't have to make a successful debut. If your debut doesn't work, you can come back and be my assistant! I still need a good piano player here~"
Kenzie joked to Xu Lai, and Xu Lai listened to Kenzie's joke and smiled.
"Do you have any ideas? This is your debut stage." Kenzie smiled.
"I still have the idea, but it's not complete."
"Let me take a look."
Listening to what Kenzie said, Xu Lai, who was sitting in front of the piano, skillfully struck the black and white keys.
when tomorrow orges
when tomorrow comes
i'll be on my own
I will be alone
feeling frightened up
Fear arises spontaneously
the things that i don't know
This unknown fear
…
Listening carefully to the sweet music that blends Xu Lai's singing and the sound of the piano, Kenzie is a little surprised. This is not just a little idea. The composition is complete, the lyrics are coherent and meaningful, and it should be the result of a long period of accumulation of inspiration and natural evolution.
The small inspirations that Xu Lai had accumulated in his daily life suddenly changed from quantitative to qualitative by coincidence, and gradually moved from fragmentation to perfection. Kenzie felt very happy at this moment.
This would be an excellent piece of music, it just needs a little embellishment.
Xu Lai's singing and piano music stopped abruptly just as the climax came down.
"It's amazing." After Xu Lai's performance ended, Kenzie applauded gently and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. This is not K-pop, but it fits Xu Lai's style very well and it is an excellent work.
However, she felt that this song was not suitable for the debut stage. After all, few people sang their debut songs while sitting down.
"I want to add some drums and rhythm in the follow-up. In my imagination, this is not a song that can be sung while sitting down." Xu Lai pondered for a moment after finishing the performance and said seriously.
"Okay, let's record a demo first, and give me a copy of the music, and we'll discuss it."
"good."
"Also, does this song have a name?"
"flashlight."
…
"The reason for this name... I think I should have a light, at least one."
When Kenzie asked about the reason for the song's title, Xu Lai replied that it was already evening after finishing work in the recording studio, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he and Kenzie finished the drum beat for a part.
He is quite satisfied with this work efficiency.
I dragged my tired body back to the dormitory. At the door of the dormitory, I saw the light inside. The surrounding rooms were already dark, and only the light was still on here.
Jiang Zaihe was still asleep, lying on his back on the bed with his guitar in his arms, pointing at the correct position, but not moving at all.
"You haven't slept yet?" Xu Lai opened the door and greeted Jiang Zaihe who was lying on the bed with a smile.
"You're back? There's takeout on the table. It's already cold, but it should still be edible. At least it's enough to fill your stomach." Jiang Zaihe straightened up from the bed and said to Xu Lai.
"Ok." Xu Lai responded and sat down at the table, opening the takeout box that was no longer hot. Although the takeout was cold, it looked pretty good.
"My luggage is almost packed. This guitar..." Jiang Zaihe got up from the bed and walked to Xu Lai holding his precious guitar, "It belongs to you now."
After saying that, Jiang Zaihe put the guitar in front of Xu Lai and gave him a forced smile, "I can't write any songs. This guitar is more suitable for you to hold."
"No, you can take it back as a souvenir. I already have a guitar, and I use it very well." Xu Lai waved to Jiang Zaihe, and after swallowing the takeaway, he rejected him, "I don't lack instruments, Kenzie.
I can use all the instruments in the teacher’s recording studio.”
"Don't be so harsh, just take it! I am an ordinary student who is going to be a senior in high school, not a music student who is going to perform at school. Why do I bring my guitar back? I failed here, do you still want me to go back with bad luck?"
"Your... guitar is very expensive." Xu Lai looked at Jiang Zaihe hesitantly, as if he wanted to know what he was thinking at the moment from the changes in his facial expressions.
"Hey~" Jiang Zaihe snorted disdainfully, looking at Xu Lai as if he were a country bumpkin, "My family is very rich, okay? Otherwise, do you think I can treat you to takeout so often?"
"Besides, you've eaten takeout from me so many times, do you still feel shy about picking up a guitar?"
"Oh, this is so embarrassing..."
"Go away, don't disgust me! Put it away quickly, don't take up the table, I'm a little hungry too." Jiang Zaihe finished the meal with a smile, took out his chopsticks, and shared a takeaway in Xu Lai
The box is not particular at all.
Xu Lai didn't mind Jiang Zaihe eating his saliva. Instead, he quickly took a few big bites, pushed the takeout box in front of Jiang Zaihe, and asked him to deal with it alone. It was not good for two men to keep facing each other like this.
, taking this moment, he hung the guitar on the wall next to the piano.
"Hey, you really want to come to the debut stage when the time comes, right?" Xu Lai returned to the table, looked at Jiang Zaihe who was enjoying the cold takeout, and asked seriously.
"Go, who wouldn't go to the free performance? School hasn't started at that time anyway, even if I have to go to school early... As long as you give me a ticket, I can come even if I skip school, okay?" Jiang Zaihe said nonchalantly.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Where are the tickets?"
"There will be."
"You'd better get me a ticket from the front, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to see me." Jiang Zaihe looked at Xu Lai with a smile, "I will work hard to hold up the light sign for you. If you don't
Seeing me, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”
"Are you really planning to do it? You're really not afraid of being followed by other people's fans..."
"Otherwise?" Jiang Zaihe paused, "How embarrassing would it be if you didn't have any fans?"
At least I want you to see the name 'Xu Lai' in the audience.
