"...At that time, I really didn't have the intention to open a store...otherwise it would be like 'no coincidence can make a book'!"

"We were chatting casually while drinking coffee. It happened that the boss happened to be in the shop. It happened that the coffee shop had half a year left until the lease expired. It happened that the boss was willing to give up some seats and benches for half a year's rent.

I left the coffee, and it happened that the cost of the song at that time was enough to rent it for half a year."

"...So, I was impulsive - I asked the owner of the coffee shop and the landlord to sign the sublease contract together on the spot."

"After a simple renovation, I didn't have much preparation for the first day of opening. I planned to continue selling the coffee left by the coffee shop owner, just to clear out the inventory and give out discounts..."

"The first customer was a student couple, and I happened to forget about the pricing. When I checked out, they just looked at me and gave me the money. It didn't matter how much I paid... and then there were two, and then there were two.

This is what it is now."

Xiao Yuxuan laughed as he talked. He put his arm on the bottom of the car door glass and held his chin, "Since it was such a coincidence, I thought it was quite interesting, so I just called the store 'Meet'."

.”

Xiao Yuxuan didn't say much, but at least in his mind, "meeting" definitely meant more than this.

Zhou Xianjun also laughed as he listened, "It's just a coincidence, aren't you afraid of meeting a liar?"

Xiao Yuxuan looked out the window, "A liar needs a script. With so many coincidences coming together, he is unlikely to be a liar. Teacher, you may not believe it, but the coffee shop owner was caught off guard by me."

Xiao Yuxuan has been working hard in society for more than ten years, and he still has a lot of basic experience.

"According to what you say, you are not a business person at all! You have been running a profitable store that has been losing money. You should have almost finished the money for your song, right? Let me tell you, the lease is over

If so, just close the store. If this continues, how can you afford to lose money?"

"Isn't this another job... Teacher Liu should be able to hold on for a while after finishing the work this time, and the day will come when he can't hold on any longer..." Xiao Yuxuan said indifferently

Said: "Let's talk about it then!"

"If I had known you were messing around like this, I should have deducted part of the money from your song."

"Ah...Teacher Zhou, I told you at that time...I asked you to help 'check'! If you hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have had this opportunity!" Xiao Yuxuan was a little surprised.

"Did I say it too vaguely?"

"I'm not short of money, why would I care about this with a student like you?" Zhou Xianjun couldn't understand, but he found it a bit funny, "You're still young, how did you learn so many twists and turns?"

This is not because Zhou Xianjun is claiming to be arrogant. In addition to salary, subsidies, etc., he will also be invited to give lectures to people from some entertainment companies, write reviews and other things... After all, these days, the title of associate professor is still worth something.

For money.

So just now in the office, when Xiao Yuxuan once again asked Zhou Xianjun to help "check the rules", Zhou Xianjun felt that Xiao Yuxuan was experienced enough in speaking and doing things, but he just didn't point it out in front of Liu Peng.

Although Xiao Yuxuan couldn't be moved by a few words, he still felt a little warmth in his heart.

As the saying goes, adults are often moved only in a moment - they can handle big things and endure them, but they are sensitive to small things.

"Don't spend all your time thinking about what is there and what isn't!" Perhaps because he noticed that his tone was a bit harsh, he didn't say the next sermon. Zhou Xianjun sighed, "Hey, others open a store to make money, but you are better off. You make money to open a store...

…I really don’t understand, what are you planning on doing?”

The rain was not heavy, and the wiper occasionally swept across the glass. Xiao Yuxuan stared at the wiper and replied somewhat absently: "Master! I just think it's good to be exposed to the smoke of fireworks every day!"

After finishing his endless words, there was only silence in the car.

Everything depends on fate, and fate starts from the heart.

The word "Master" - when you say it out loud, you acknowledge it in your heart; if you don't reject it, you also accept it in your heart.

As for the rest——

Xiao Yuxuan didn't explain anymore. What to explain? How to explain? Whoever says it is a fool!

As for Zhou Xianjun, he didn’t understand and didn’t ask. What’s the point of asking? Don’t you see, there are not many people who study art who have no tendons or broken strings?

The more talented someone is, the more abnormal they are!

Anyway, just treat him as a fool!

Relying on memory and existing knowledge, Xiao Yuxuan worked hard until around 4 o'clock at night, and finally finished the midi file of a song. The overall effect was satisfactory.

After finishing, he was so dizzy that he just lay on the mixing table and fell asleep.

Before 7 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yuxuan was woken up by Zhou Xianjun.

"Master, Teacher Liu, good morning!" Xiao Yuxuan stood up and said hello while rubbing his eyes in confusion.

"Yuxuan, thank you for your hard work!" Liu Peng saw Xiao Yuxuan's state and had questions in his heart that he was too embarrassed to ask.

"How is the progress?" Zhou Xianjun caught a glimpse of the eager look on the face of his old classmate Liu Peng, and naturally understood what he was thinking, and asked without talking nonsense.

Xiao Yuxuan walked to the computer, picked up the previously printed musical score and handed it to Zhou Xianjun, "Master, take a look at it first, it may be a bit rough, and then you can help polish it... I also tried to make a midi version."

"Let me take a look first!" Zhou Xianjun reached out and took it.

On the printed musical notation, there are many changes and notes on both the lyrics and the music. Regardless of the quality of the final work, it can be seen that a lot of care was taken.

Liu Peng was not at ease to begin with, and coupled with Xiao Yuxuan's "relatively rough" self-evaluation just now, the original expectation was somewhat dissipated and the level of expectations was lowered.

Even so, he still couldn't help but put his head over and stare at the simplified music score in Zhou Xianjun's hand.

Liu Peng certainly knew the numbers, but it was difficult for him to tell what a series of numbers meant when they were put together and what kind of melody they were.

Liu Peng automatically ignored the numbers and looked directly at the lyrics:

Cherish goodbye, I will be drunk tonight if I have wine tonight; Sing to the wine, I will always remember the butterflies flying; Don’t miss me anymore, wealth and glory are all fake...

A few simple lyrics become more and more interesting the more you taste them. Looking down, another line reads:

Exhortations and instructions, thousands of words cannot keep them; the sea of ​​​​people is vast, the mountains and rivers are vast and you know where you are; wandering around the world, from now on watching the colorful clouds side by side...

Next, change the line:

Bit by bit, the clouds and flowers of the past are like the past; the heaven and the earth are long, and being with each other is the only home; day and night, you might as well walk on the road of mortals...

Read it carefully again and think about the plot of your own TV series, and this feeling will come out immediately:

The wind has no direction, but the heart has something to rely on - the wind is accompanied by the sand, lingering to the end of the world.

Without the unforgettable oath of eternal friendship, the regretless following and companionship are enough!

…

Although Liu Peng cannot write hundreds or thousands of words of sentiment like a professional music critic, he feels the same at this moment as when he got the title song "Dang".

Both songs perfectly fit the plot of "Love Has Thousands of Tribulations"!

satisfy!

"Old Liu, what do you think?"

Zhou Xianjun simply performed the melody in his mind. The song is of good quality.

"Well, although I don't understand music, I am satisfied with the lyrics."

"Yuxuan, haven't you already arranged the music and made a midi version? Let's take a look at the overall effect first!" Zhou Xianjun said to Xiao Yuxuan.

Xiao Yuxuan pulled out his chair, motioned for the two of them to sit down, pointed at the computer screen and said, "Master, look at what else needs to be optimized."

Zhou Xianjun sat in front of the computer and began to manipulate the mouse.

The mode of the song is E major, the marked beat is 4/4, and the single tempo is 80bpm. The whole song is 5 minutes and 23 seconds long, with a total of 2984 notes. It is divided into 8 tracks and uses bells, guzheng, electric bass, and piano.

Harmonic snare drums and other instruments are interspersed with a total of 18 elements such as strings and synthesized sounds; midi events such as left and right channel balance are used.

"Master, my idea is to add a chorus enhancement effect to the chorus. Mainly in terms of arrangement, do you think any adjustments are needed?"

Zhou Xianjun listened to it completely twice before speaking: "The overall arrangement effect is already very complete. I can't give you any specific optimization suggestions for a while, so I won't make any adjustments for the time being... midi

After all, the version is a software-synthesized sound, which sounds a little distorted, and there is still a gap between the performance of real instruments... It is better to listen to the sound engineer's opinions on EQ and downmixing during the official recording!

"

"Okay!" Xiao Yuxuan nodded.

"Lao Liu, although this is the midi version, I can already grasp the general effect of the final product. How do you feel?" Zhou Xianjun asked Liu Peng.

Liu Peng gave Xiao Yuxuan a thumbs up, "The lyrics are well written and the music is nice. I'm very satisfied...Yu Xuan has worked hard!"

"This is as it should be. Teacher Liu, you're welcome."

"Old Liu, don't be too polite." Zhou Xianjun said with a smile: "If you are satisfied with this song, then should you just use this song?"

Liu Peng asked: "Yu Xuan said last night that he had different ideas. I also want to hear other ones. If possible, I would like them all. After all, a drama can have multiple ending songs. As the plot progresses,

It can present different effects.”

"Teacher Liu, I'm sorry! I have some ideas, but I just came up with this song last night."

Zhou Xianjun punched Liu Peng on the shoulder and rolled his eyes, "I said, Old Liu, what are you thinking about? Just be satisfied if you can do this in Chengdu in one night! How could it be that easy? Just tell me if you want it.

If you don’t want it, then the matter will stop here... Even if you get to this point, there is still a lot of work to do, so where do you get so much time?"

"Of course I want it!" Liu Peng responded immediately, "I mean Yu Xuan can come up with other ideas. As long as I think they are suitable for this drama, I want them all!"

Who among adults still does multiple-choice questions?

"Old Zhou, what else do you need me to do next?" Liu Peng asked.

"There is still a lot of work left, coordinating the sound engineer, confirming the singer... In addition, there is the editing of the end credits. You can also start it now, and just add it when the finished product comes out... Just watch
To be continued...
