Lu Chen used to study the piano, but he didn't study it deeply. At most, he was at the level of Level Four or Five.
Later, he switched to guitar, and the piano was naturally abandoned. It wasn't until recently that he picked it up again.
Playing the piano is a very pretentious thing, and it is used as an excellent accompaniment, especially for romantic and lyrical songs. The accompaniment effect of the piano is not comparable to other instruments, so Lu Chen put in a lot of effort to practice.
There's no need to reach a professional level. It's enough to bluff laymen.
Mostimportantly, if you put aside your utilitarian heart, practicing playing the piano is actually a very happy thing. Listening to the beautiful piano music flowing through your fingertips, your mind can be sublimated.
Lu Chen has never played such an expensive piano.
The timbre of this Steinway is excellent. Even with his not very professional ears, he can hear the huge difference between it and an ordinary piano. Its bass is incomparably strong, its alto is warm and wide, and its treble is bright and gorgeous.
In particular, its alto is the best, with a strong appeal and expressive power. It is worthy of the name of the Piano Emperor!
Playing the Steinway, Lu Chen felt a lot of pressure.
He was afraid that his bad skills would tarnish this million-yuan artifact.
But he was still confident. When his fingers gently pressed on the warm keys, his mood quickly returned to peace.
Then he played the prelude.
Soothing, soft, uncomplicated structure, and the pleasant sound of the piano echoed in the piano room.
The name of this song is "Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter".
"Come to Taipei to watch the rain in winter,
Don't cry in a foreign land.
Come to Taipei to watch the rain in winter,
Dreams are the only luggage.
Come back softly and don't wake up the past,
Just pretend that I've never been far away ~
If we meet and hide the words in our hearts,
No one knows you better than I do!
The sky is still the sky,
The rain is still the rain,
There's no longer you under my umbrella.
I'm still me,
You're still you,
It's just one more winter!
… … "
When Lu Chen began to play and sing, Su Daiwan half leaned on Li Murong and looked at him with a smile.
However, when she heard the first line of the lyrics, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
There was a complicated look in her eyes.
"Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter" is a lyrical song about a lost love. Although the mood expressed in the lyrics is a lingering sense of loss, revealing the singer's inner melancholy, but still able to face reality optimistically.
The tune of this song was lyrical and calm, with a kind of simple and elegant beauty, which was very suitable for a female voice to sing.
When Lu Chen sang this song, he weakened the melancholy and increased the sense of maturity and depth. With a slightly bitter but clear and smooth voice, and the slightly lonely feelings in his heart, he performed the song with a different kind of charm.
Because there was no amplification equipment, he deliberately lowered the sound of the piano, which also reduced the appeal of many works.
But it still poked Su Daiwan's tears.
Su Daiwan grew up in Taipei. Her family was not well off. She went out to work before finishing high school. Later, she was discovered by a star scout and entered the entertainment industry. With her excellent appearance and natural singing voice, her star future was extremely bright.
But only she knew how difficult those days were. On the surface of the incomparably glorious life was hidden a dangerous current. Her father who was addicted to gambling, her agent who had ulterior motives, the company she signed with was cold and heartless, and her competitors who were jealous of her … It was as if a mountain was pressing on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Recalling the past, Su Daiwan felt that she was so lucky. In her most difficult time, she met Li Murong, so they formed a lifelong destiny.
She and he met on a rainy day.
Li Murong took her and her sister back to the mainland to settle down, and she never returned to Taipei after she quit singing.
Only in her dreams did Su Daiwan dream of the rain in Taipei and those who used to be familiar with her.
It's hard to leave her homeland.
Li Murong is not her first love either.
"… …
Come to Taipei to watch the rain in winter,
Don't cry in a foreign land.
Come to Taipei to watch the rain in winter,
Maybe I'll meet you.
The streets are deserted, but the mind is crowded,
There are memories in every corner.
If we meet, there's no need to escape,
I'll eventually pass by.
The sky is still the sky,
The rain is still the rain,
I'm no longer familiar with this city!
I'm still me,
You're still you,
It's just one more winter! "
Unknowingly, crystal tears fell from the corners of Su Daiwan's eyes, and she leaned weakly into Li Murong's arms.
Li Murong hugged his wife and stared at Lu Chen with rather unkind eyes.
This kid, did he do it on purpose?
Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't repeat it after singing it once.
Clap! Clap!
Su Daiwan straightened up, wiped away the tears on her face, and clapped her hands with a smile.
Li Mubai also applauded. He didn't have the same feeling as Su Daiwan. He just felt that the song was good.
As for why his sister-in-law cried, Li Bai wouldn't think about it.
That's big brother's job!
Lu Chen stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. This song is not very suitable."
He just felt something in his heart, and suddenly thought of this song. He didn't think too much about it and took it out.
Now that he thought about it, it felt a little inappropriate.
"No, no!"
Su Daiwan said without hesitation, "This song is very good, very good. I like it."
She looked at her husband and said coquettishly, "You can't be unhappy. I've thought about it. I'm going to release another album."
Li Mubai supported: "Sister-in-law is mighty!"
Li Murong couldn't help glaring at Lu Chen, the culprit, and said with a wry smile, "It's good that you like it."
Li Murongknew that Su Daiwan was actually very lonely with him. She had no relatives or friends on the mainland. After her sister went abroad, she was even more lonely. He was often busy with work and social activities, and didn't have much time to accompany her.
Su Daiwan only has him, and he has three wives.
Most importantly, the two have been together for so long, but they haven't had children yet.
The guilt in his heart made Li Murong fade his resentment towards Lu Chen and agreed to her request without hesitation.
Su Daiwansaid happily, "After the album, I'm going to have another concert, or a fan meeting. I wonder how many people still remember me now? Lu Chen, help me write two more songs! "
Lu Chen couldn't help looking at Li Murong.
It seems to be a big deal!
Su Daiwan hugged her husband's arm hard and said with a smile, "You promised me that you wouldn't interfere in my affairs. I'm going to get sick from boredom at home. Let's just look for a job. Okay? "
The tears on her face were not dry, but her smile was as gorgeous as spring flowers, with a charming charm.
Li Murongsighed and said, "Can I say no?"
Su Daiwanshook her head: "No!"
Li Murongnodded.
Li Mubai was eager to see the world in chaos: "Sister-in-law, if you release an album and hold a concert, I'll pull all my friends to support you!"
Lu Chen, however, had a feeling of opening Pandora's box and hurriedly said, "It's getting late. Brother Li, sister-in-law, I'll go back first."
Su Daiwanreminded, "Don't forget to write songs for me!"
Lu Chen coughed twice and said, "Well, I'll write it and ask Mubai to give it to you."
He winked at Li Mubai.
Li Mubai was not too stupid after all. He immediately said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm responsible for supervising Brother Chen's songwriting. I'll take him back. It's not easy to get a taxi here."
Li Murongwaved his hand: "Go, go!"
He was a little annoyed to look at these two guys!
Lu Chen was relieved and hurriedly followed Li Mubai to leave.
Su Daiwanand Li Murongsent him to the door.
After Li Mubai drove Lu Chen away, Su Daiwanasked Li Murong, "What do you think of Lu Chen?"
Li Murongsaid in a bad mood, "Not so good!"
Su Daiwanwas startled at first, and then immediately laughed and trembled: "You're not jealous, are you?"
Li Muronghad a sullen face and didn't speak.
Su Daiwanwas not afraid, because she knew her husband very well and knew that Li Murongwas pretending on purpose.
She said with a smile, "What do you think if I introduce him to Xiaoqian?"
Li Murongwas stunned and said, "You want to introduce Lu Chen to Chen Qian?"
Su Daiwanwas a little unhappy: "What's with your expression? Isn't my sister good? Xiaoqian is so beautiful. She just likes to play. Lu Chen is tall, handsome and talented. It's rare that he is also very steady and sensible. He should be able to control her. "
Chen Qian is Su Daiwan's younger sister, but Su Daiwan follows her father's surname, while her younger sister follows her mother's surname.
Li Murongdidn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never understood why women always like to matchmake for others.
But introducing Lu Chen to Chen Qian … It sounds very interesting!
He couldn't help touching his chin and said, "OK, I'll listen to you. I'm afraid that Chen Qian doesn't like Lu Chen."
Su Daiwan said confidently, "She will listen to me."
Li Murongshook his head secretly. He suddenly bent down to pick up Su Daiwan and said, "Don't talk about them. Let's do our own things. We'll stay here tonight!"
Su Daiwan giggled, her eyes were as soft as water, and the air seemed to have a charming taste.
At this moment, Lu Chen didn't know that he was being remembered.
He was riding in Li Mubai's sports car and galloping on the Second Ring Road.
Li Mubai said as he drove, "Brother Chen, you have to help me with the website. Big Brother is going to cut off my pocket money. I can't live like this!"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "If you can get a protection certificate, the online crowdfunding is promising. In fact, you don't need to take care of it personally. At worst, you can hire a professional manager. Usually, you just need to pull business."
In any business, early networking is very important. In the early stage of the online crowdfunding, as long as you can pull in a few powerful big customers and put the brand on the track, the later business will be very easy to do.
"Pull business?"
Li Mubai immediately relaxed: "That's simple. I still have a lot of friends in Beijing."
He knew that networking can make money, but he had never thought of making money by networking before.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "We already have our first business. In a few days, my album will be on sale on QQ Music. I want to launch a crowdfunding campaign for the album at the same time, hoping to get a good start!"
After preparing for so long, the real test time is coming!
