1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 15 Arrangement completed, enter the studio to record songs!

Moving into the Huiyuan Apartment in the Asian Games Village announced that Jiang Xiaofeng had bid farewell to the chaotic and noisy communal life in the Yanjing compound, and also bid farewell to London, England, and entered a new era of "freedom of toilets" and "freedom of bathing".

The night before leaving the courtyard, Jiang Xiaofeng treated Xiao Li to a meal and gave him 30 yuan to help him pay June's rent to his father. He didn't want to owe anyone, although in June

, he only lived here for a few days.

In the dead of night, Jiang Xiaofeng rested his arms on his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and looked forward to the new life that was about to come. He felt melancholy and excited at the same time, which made him unable to fall asleep for a long time.

In the early morning, while the neighbors were still sleeping soundly in bed, Jiang Xiaofeng got up early, went out and turned right to the public toilet, and poured the chamber pot for the last time.

"Quietly I left,

Just as I came quietly;

I waved my sleeves,

Don't take away a cloud

…”

After washing up, Jiang Xiaofeng carried the sack on his shoulders and hummed "Farewell Cambridge" by Xu Zhimo. He looked back at the large courtyard where he had lived for two or three months, and left without looking back.

After Jiang Xiaofeng moved to the Asian Games Village, Gao Xiaosong specially invited a few friends to eat out and welcomed Jiang Xiaofeng to the big family of Huiyuan Apartment in the Asian Games Village.

Gao Xiaosong was a talkative person. He always praised Jiang Xiaofeng as a "talent" when he met everyone. He was the kind of "great talent" that only comes out every ten years. His songs were so well written that Jiang Xiaofeng was so embarrassed that he had to pick up the guitar.

, sang "Those Flowers" to them, and then won the applause of the whole house.

However, Gao Xiaosong flies to Xiamen almost every two weeks to communicate with his girlfriend Hong.

Xiamen is the place where Gao Xiaosong lost his virginity, which is of great significance to him.

The first drafts of a series of works such as "My Deskmate" and "Love in the Wind" were all completed at Dongbianshe in Xiamen.

Gao Xiaosong went to Xiamen, and Jiang Xiaofeng became a lot cleaner, but he was not idle either. He went to Dadi Records every three days and then entered the recording studio. It took him nearly half a month to finish the song "Those Flowers".

The song is well recorded.

When Gao Xiaosong came back from Xiamen, he took Jiang Xiaofeng to Lao Lang's house, hoping to rescue Lao Lang from his mother's hands.

Like Gao Xiaosong, Lao Lang was born in a Gaozhi family. His father is a chief engineer of aerospace and his mother is the director of the China Central Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra.

After graduating from high school, Lao Lang got a high score of 580 points in the exam, but when he filled out his application form, he went to the freezing Harbin Institute of Technology due to a mistake.

As a child who grew up in Yanjing, neither his parents nor Lao Lang wanted to go to the distant Harbin.

For the sake of his mother and girlfriend Pan Qian, Lao Lang finally had no choice but to drop out of Harbin Institute of Technology and went to Yanjing Aeronautics and Astronautics Branch No. 3 as a day student. He became the "best" student in the school, 300 points higher than the second place.

For this reason, the school also gave Lao Lang a scholarship of RMB 1,000.

Good times always pass quickly. In 1991, Lao Lang entered the society and joined a company jointly owned by the central government and Chile.

When Pan Qian graduated from college in 1992, she applied for a full scholarship to Stanford University in the United States.

Pan Qian felt that the old wolf was not doing his job properly and had no ambition. He spent all his time wandering around in sensuality, so she had a brief separation from him, and the old wolf shed tears every day.

After Pansy went to the United States, Lao Lang thought that he and Pansy were over. In order to cheer himself up, he tried to get a new girlfriend and wanted to say goodbye to the past completely.

Once, Lao Lang was on a date with a girl and asked Gao Xiaosong to drive his Lincoln to see him off. After getting out of the car, Lao Lang showed off to the girl, pointed at Gao Xiaosong who was driving and said, "This is my driver Xiao Gao."

After graduating from university, Lao Lang worked as an engineer in a joint venture company. He earned a monthly salary of more than 400 yuan. He was always traveling around the country on business and installed cabinets for people all day long. All in all, it was very tiring and hard, so he didn’t want to do it anymore.

He resigned and stayed at home, and his parents were also very depressed.

After Gao Xiaosong and Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at Lao Lang's house, they said straight to the point: "Auntie, Lao Lang is going to be a singer!"

The old wolf couldn't help but laughed loudly and said, "If he could sing, I would have let him sing a long time ago. I am still waiting for you. You are just kidding!"

Gao Xiaosong also felt unsure, because Lao Lang was the leader of the Central Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, and he was originally engaged in music, so he could only say weakly: "Auntie, just let me try with Lao Lang, just in case

Okay!"

Therefore, Gao Xiaosong and Jiang Xiaofeng successfully "fished" Lao Lang out of his home.

This was the first time Jiang Xiaofeng saw Lao Lang in reality.

Lao Lang has medium-long hair and looks a bit like a "comely version of Gao Xiaosong".

"Old Wolf, let me introduce you to a friend. This is our musical talent Jiang Xiaofeng. He writes songs very well. If you have the opportunity to listen to the songs he wrote, you will definitely be moved to tears!"

"Xiao Feng, this is my good buddy Lao Lang. We used to be in a band, he was the lead singer, and I was..."

"..."

In this way, with Gao Xiaosong's help, Jiang Xiaofeng and Lao Lang became acquainted.

Compared with the fussy Gao Xiaosong, Lao Lang has a calm personality, is much more low-key, and speaks in a soft voice, making him feel very elegant and easy-going.

The three of them arrived at Dadi Records talking and laughing, and Lao Lang also walked into the recording studio for the first time and began to record the first song in his life to be released - "You at the Same Desk".

It is worth mentioning that the arrangement of the song "My Deskmate" was composed by independent musician Zhang Weining, who was also the later husband of singer Tian Zhen.

The harmonica section at the beginning of "My Deskmate" was composed by Zhang Weining. It was definitely the finishing touch. As soon as the sound came out, Gao Xiaosong got goosebumps all over his body.

"Tomorrow will you remember

The diary you wrote yesterday

Will you still miss me tomorrow?

You used to cry the most

The teachers have forgotten

You who can’t guess the problem

I also look through photos accidentally

I just remembered you at the same table

…”

With the beautiful and lyrical arrangement, Lao Lang

He sang this song softly with his unique and very textured voice.

Listening to Lao Lang's soulful singing, Gao Xiaosong and Jiang Xiaofeng looked at each other and smiled, with smiles of happiness and satisfaction on their faces.

"You used to be very careful

Ask me to borrow half an eraser

You also mentioned it accidentally

like to be with me

The sky was always blue then

The days always pass too slowly

You always say graduation is far away

In the blink of an eye, they all went their separate ways.

…”

Interestingly, this song was inspired by Gao Xiaosong's creation when he was combing the hair of his first girlfriend, his girlfriend in Xiamen.

In 1990, Gao Xiaosong met and fell in love with his girlfriend "Hong". After that, Gao Xiaosong and Hong rented a private house together in a small fishing village near Xiamen University.

One morning, while Gao Xiaosong was combing Hong's hair, he suddenly shouted "I have it", and then he quickly let go. He didn't have time to find paper, so he wrote down his momentary inspiration on the back cover of a book. This text is "My Deskmate"

The first draft of "You".

"Who meets you who is sentimental?

Who comforts you who loves to cry?

Who read the letter I wrote to you?

Who threw it in the wind

The old days are gone

I will also have my wife

I will also show her photos

Tell her about you at the same table

Who married you who is sentimental?

Who comforts you who loves to cry?

Who tied up your long hair?

Who made your wedding dress?

La... la...

La... la...

La... la..."

Although Lao Lang entered the recording studio to record a song for the first time, there would inevitably be flaws and dissatisfaction, but Gao Xiaosong still shed tears after listening to Lao Lang sing "You at the Same Table" for the first time.

The reason why Gao Xiaosong shed tears was not only that he was moved by Lao Lang's singer, but also that his dream could come true.

After Jiang Xiaofeng finished recording the song "Those Flowers", he went on to record the song "Drum Tower" at the warm invitation of producer Huang Xiaomao.

After recording the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Drum Tower", Jiang Xiaofeng was waiting in his house in the Huiyuan Apartment in the Asian Games Village to see when "Campus Ballads" would be released.

Jiang Xiaofeng feels that after the album "Campus Ballads" is released, he should be like Lao Lang and become popular with the songs he sings, and then make his official debut and enter the mainland music scene.

As a result, Jiang Xiaofeng did not wait for the release of "Campus Ballad", but heard a piece of bad news that shocked the music world.
