Chapter 54
The Twin Stars of the Chinese Music Scene
"Xiaoying, this Walkman is for you. You can use it to learn English and listen to music."
Jiang Feng also bought Zhao Liying a pink Walkman.
Zhao Liying quickly waved her hand: "Brother, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Take it, it's not much money."
Jiang Feng grabbed Zhao Liying's slender hand and placed the Walkman in her hand.
"Brother, thank you."
Zhao Liying felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?"
Jiang Feng gently scraped Zhao Liying's smooth and delicate nose bridge.
"Brother, is acting fun?"
"It's pretty good, quite interesting."
Jiang Feng told Zhao Liying about the interesting things that happened while filming on set.
Zhao Liying listened with great interest and gradually developed the idea of becoming an actress.
Jiang Feng planted a seed in her heart.
This seed will take root, sprout, and grow strong in her heart.
Leaving those two aside, let's talk about Lu Yuzhi and Jiang Jinming arriving at the village entrance with their cell phones.
The villagers from the "Intelligence Department" were still chatting there.
Lu Yuzhi could hear them talking about her son from a distance, so she pretended to make a phone call and walked over with her head held high.
The woman who had previously teased Jiang Feng saw her and immediately shouted:
"Oh my gosh, look! The big star's mom is here!"
The villagers burst into laughter.
When Lu Yuzhi walked up to them, they noticed that she was holding a cell phone.
In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions, and the chattering and laughing stopped, leaving the once bustling village entrance completely silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuzhi's phone.
The woman's smile froze.
"Yuzhi, when did you buy your phone?"
Lu Yuzhi had been waiting for this very sentence, and immediately switched to Versailles mode.
"Hey, I wouldn't spend money on a phone like this, my son bought it for me."
"This kid is really something. He just started earning some money and he's already spending it all so lavishly. He's such a worry."
"It cost over three thousand yuan. He bought one for himself and one for his dad too. The three phones together cost almost ten thousand yuan!"
"He earned the money himself from filming, and we don't know how much he earned."
Jiang Jinming also came over and joined his wife in their banter.
Lu Yuzhi was in charge of outputting the damage, while he assisted from the sidelines.
The two of them instantly became the most eye-catching people in the village, and the villagers surrounded them, asking them endless questions.
After they left, those who had mocked the Jiang family fell silent, their hearts filled with mixed feelings, while the others all began to discuss it with envy.
"The Jiang family's kid is really something, he's already making money while still in college."
"He casually spent nearly ten thousand yuan, how much money must he have made?"
"Could our village really be producing a big star?"
"I've always thought Jiang Feng was a promising kid."
"Yes, Jiang Feng has been smart since he was a child."
"Jiang Feng is almost of marriageable age, and my daughter is about the same age as him..."
"Hehe, my daughter and Jiang Feng were deskmates in elementary school. They were really good friends back then..."
……
Jiang Feng stayed at home for two days before leaving.
The day after returning to Beijing, he met Ren Xianqi in the same KTV room as before.
"Dude, you finished writing the theme song so quickly?"
Ren Xianqi was stunned when he received Jiang Feng's call, and he still finds it hard to believe.
"Um, Brother Qi, I didn't have time to record a demo of the song. Please take a look at the lyrics and sheet music first."
Jiang Feng took out a sheet of lyrics, with the opening theme song on one side and the ending theme song on the other.
"Haha, you're quite frugal."
Ren Xianqi took the lyrics sheet and started reading.
He watched the opening theme song, "The Flowers Are Too Fragrant," first.
His eyes lit up as soon as he read the very first line of the lyrics.
"Laughing at the world,"
When will this grudge end?
Dusk approaches the evening glow,
Traveling alone without worries
... "
Great words!
Ren Xianqi couldn't help but give it a mental thumbs up, and then continued reading.
After reading the lyrics, he started looking at the sheet music.
He was increasingly shocked as he looked, and by the end, he stood up from the sofa.
"Great! This song is fantastic! The lyrics are wonderful, and the melody is excellent!"
Ren Xianqi has a strong ability to appreciate music.
It's immediately obvious that this is a rare and excellent song.
"The lyrics are rich in classical flavor, and the sense of chivalry is overwhelming. The melody is catchy, the style is desolate, and the artistic conception is vast."
"The themes of chivalry, romance, and chivalry... all the elements a martial arts drama theme song should have are there..."
"The style of the entire song perfectly matches the character of Chu Liuxiang..."
Ren Xianqi grabbed the microphone and started singing a cappella.
It still sounds great even without accompaniment.
I can't imagine how good it would sound with accompaniment.
Ren Xianqi flipped the lyric sheet over and began to read the ending theme song, "Flying Bird."
"I heard from the birds that you came from winter."
Winter is lonely with no fallen leaves and snow.
I heard from the birds that you passed by the sea.
The sea is lonely without wind and waves.
... "
Ren Xianqi sang a cappella as he watched.
When he sang the line "The sea is burned into wine, scalding the chest, each sip is filled with sorrow," I felt a jolt in my heart, and my soul seemed to resonate with it.
After watching both songs, Ren Xianqi excitedly said to Jiang Feng:
"Bro, these two songs of yours are absolutely fantastic! They'd be perfect as the theme songs for 'The New Legend of Chu Liuxiang'!"
"No, it would be such a waste to use such a good song as the theme song for a TV series."
"Both of these songs are at the level of main tracks on an album, in no way inferior to 'Sad Pacific' or 'The End of the World'."
"Sad Pacific Ocean" and "The End of the World" both directly use music by Miyuki Nakajima.
Some say that Miyuki Nakajima supported half of the singers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Many singers in the Chinese music scene nowadays like to directly copy the tunes of "Little Days" and add localized lyrics.
Many singers' classic songs originated from this method.
Even the legendary singer Zhang Xueyou is no exception.
This is also why Zhou Jielun was so exceptionally talented from the very beginning of his career.
Because he composes most of his own music, he is a highly talented singer-songwriter.
Jiang Feng was the same.
He wrote the lyrics and composed the music for all of his songs, including "Wild Wind and Rushing Clouds," "Forever and Ever," "The Flowers Are Too Fragrant," and "Flying Birds."
Although Chou Chieh-lun can also write lyrics, he is best at composing music, and his lyrics writing is slightly weaker.
Jiang Feng is different; he can write both lyrics and compose music, which shows that he is even more amazing than Zhou Jielun.
One Zhou Jielun has already turned the Chinese music scene upside down, and now another Jiang Feng has appeared.
Is the first year of the new century really this intense?
Ren Xianqi couldn't imagine what the Chinese music scene would look like if Jiang Feng became a singer and collided with Zhou Jielun.
The media will definitely haile them as the twin stars of the Chinese music scene.
"Brother, it's a real loss to the Chinese music scene that you're not a singer!"
