Entertaining Children

A complete music album generally contains at least ten songs. According to the contract, Xiao Siqi's album must be completed by the end of this year. Excluding the almost one-month recording and production time in the studio, Xiao Siqi had to submit the score, lyrics and song demos of at least ten songs to the record company for review after about one month. Writing ten songs a month is of course an impossible task for Xiao Siqi, but Xiao Siqi has been preparing for this album before. The half a year after the car accident was ignored, and Xiao Siqi was not out of stock for more than a year before.

For this album, Xiao Siqi also wrote more than 20 new songs in more than a year. However, Xiao Siqi, who has already suffered two consecutive losses, attaches great importance and strict requirements to this album. Among these more than 20 new songs, Xiao Siqi thinks that the standard can be selected into the new album, so far there are only seven songs. So what Xiao Siqi needs to do now is to write three more songs of a quality that can be selected for the new album within a month or so, and this does not seem to be an impossible task.

After several months of studying with Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao has mastered the basic knowledge of music theory, the basic skills of vocalizing and exercising the voice to expand the range, and the basic playing methods of the three instruments, and has entered the stage of extensive practice. Xiao Siqi shifted his energy to the creation of new songs for his album, which did not have much influence on Xiao Yao.

In order to give Xiao Siqi an uninterrupted creative space, Xiao Yao moved the musical instruments he usually used for practice out of the music room, and moved his practice place from the music room to the living room. Anyway, the sound insulation of his house is good, even if you practice in the living room, as long as he doesn't click like crazy, you won't disturb the neighbors next door. As for why he didn't just move to the fitness room, which was about to become Xiao Yao's exclusive room, it was because one of the three instruments he wanted to practice was the piano in the living room, which couldn't be moved.

Xiao Yao's current musical instruments are electronic organ, piano and ukulele. The electronic organ is currently the most suitable physical condition for Xiao Yao to learn, and it is also the first musical instrument he learned. After mastering the playing skills of the electronic organ, Xiao Yao set his mind on the piano, which is known as the king of musical instruments, and the guitar, which is an artifact of seductive girls. It’s better to talk about the piano. After all, the posture and fingering are similar to those of the electronic piano. Although his height cannot effectively reach the pedals at the bottom, it is still useful to be familiar with the different key feel and tone of the piano and the electronic piano. In the future When the physical condition is sufficient, it is natural to use the piano to play faster and better. The guitar made Xiao Yao feel a little bit difficult. His height was not as high as an ordinary acoustic guitar, and his palm was too small for his fingers to completely cover the six strings on the guitar. Just when Xiao Yao was extremely depressed and praying that he would grow up soon, the word Hawaii mentioned on TV by chance made him think of something else. Ukulele, also known as the Ukulele. The shape and playing technique are very similar to the guitar, but the overall size is much smaller than the guitar, and there are only four strings, which can almost cover his current small hands. Therefore, Xiao Yao asked Xiao Siqi to learn how to play the ukulele.

As a professional musician, although Xiao Siqi has never played the ukulele, he knows this instrument. Thinking of the size and number of chords of this instrument, he also knew that this was Xiao Yao's preparation for learning to play the guitar in the future. If a child wants to learn, he is naturally willing to teach. As a person who plays the guitar very well, although he has never played the ukulele, it is naturally very easy to learn this instrument that is similar to the guitar but much simpler. Of course, it is not difficult to teach Xiao Yao after learning it. .

Xiao Siqi, who plunged into the music room and devoted himself to creating, originally belonged to Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao to take care of each other in life, but now he simply handed over all the trivial matters in life to Xiao Yao. For example, Xiao Siqi's cooking skills are very poor. Originally, Xiao Siqi would take Xiao Yao out for dinner.

It's only occasionally that I'm too busy to miss a meal, so I call to order food and order takeaway. Now Xiao Yao calls for takeaway for three meals a day. Xiao Yao didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, anyway, he was just cleaning up the house, and he was very good at these tasks as he had been living alone in his previous life.

Of course, Xiao Siqi did not completely isolate himself from Xiao Yao. Whenever he thinks he has written a good melody, he will bring Xiao Yao to play it for him. Only when Xiao Yao nodded and said it sounds good, he would continue to expand and perfect the melody into a complete piece of music. It doesn't mean how good Xiao Yao's music literacy is now, he can only simply tell Xiao Siqi that it sounds good, average, not so good and wait for a few very subjective evaluation words. The reason why Xiao Siqi used Xiao Yao's judgment as a criterion for whether to continue is because Xiao Siqi was deeply impressed by Xiao Yao's extraordinary performance. In order to test his most intuitive feeling for music works, he once used his completed twenty Several songs were performed to Xiao Yao one by one, and he was asked to sort them according to how good they felt. Xiao Yao, who has listened to songs for more than ten years in his previous life and has listened to countless songs, still has some music appreciation ability. As a result, Xiao Yao ranked in the top seven Those seven songs are exactly the seven songs selected by Xiao Siqi for the new album. Therefore, Xiao Siqi, who believes that Xiao Yao's music taste and aesthetics are very good, regards Xiao Yao as the first inspector of his music.

Xiao Siqi's actions seem a bit childish, but he has a rather childish personality, once he becomes self-willed, he is... so self-willed.

However, music creation is really not something that will result in hard work. Ten days have passed, and Xiao Siqi still hasn't created a song that satisfies him enough to put it in his new album. Seeing Xiao Siqi haggard day by day, Xiao Yao couldn't bear it. He has seen Xiao Siqi's performance during this time, he has worked hard enough and cared enough. Xiao Yao wondered if it was time for him to activate his golden finger to help him.

Xiao Yao, who has been in this world for more than half a year, already knows the world quite well. Especially after returning to his own home, after getting along with Xiao Siqi and gaining a higher family status, he has already obtained a tablet computer of his own and the right to surf the Internet at any time. During the period of studying music, he naturally already understood the entertainment industry in the world today. I learned that this world has turned a corner a hundred years ago compared with the previous life. The historical trend is the same, the events are still there, but the characters and time have changed. The same is true in the entertainment industry. The course and trend of the development and evolution of popular culture and fashion trends have not changed, but those who lead the trend are different, and the classics that lead the trend are also different. That is to say, what I heard in my previous life None of those classic music and film and television works appeared in this world. The same culture, the same trend, and the same aesthetics, so the classics of the previous life are still classics in the present world. The classics in my memory are equivalent to a private treasure house.

After being reborn and learning about his family, Xiao Yao once lamented that his life entered the simple mode after reading the file. Later, he took the initiative to learn various things and set various learning goals. Xiao Yao forced himself to increase the difficulty of his life. When he felt that his life surpassed the normal mode and moved closer to the difficult mode. A discovery undoubtedly made his life seem to return to the simple mode. In order to make his life less boring and boring, Xiao Yao originally didn't intend to activate the cheat so early, but seeing Xiao Siqi's miserable state, he felt that it was not a bad idea to activate the cheat earlier and take something out of his pocket .

There are naturally many classic songs from previous lives in Xiao Yao's mind, but he still has to figure out how to give the songs to Xiao Siqi. Xiao Siqi insists that the songs in his album must be his own original. No matter who throws him a finished composition, he won't take it. So Xiao Yao still had to try to make the classic songs he chose "created" by Xiao Siqi himself. As a result, it seems that there are not so many songs to choose from.

"Dad, take a break and chat with me."

On this day, Xiao Yao, who finally figured out a way, pulled out Xiao Siqi who had been in the music room for more than an hour, and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He sat in the seat where he usually practiced the piano.

"What's there to talk about?" Xiao Siqi smiled helplessly.

"Let's chat casually." Xiao Yao said with a smile: "I see you spend your time in the music room all day. Grandpa taught me a word called relaxation, and a word called haste makes waste, so Let me let you relax properly. Take a rest and change your mind, maybe you can get some new inspiration."

Xiao Siqi also understood the truth that haste makes waste, seeing his son being so considerate, he couldn't let his son down. I had no choice but to say: "Okay, what do you want to talk about? I don't have the literary level of your grandfather." After speaking, he adjusted a more comfortable posture on the sofa, obviously wanting to relax.

"Let's talk about you and my mother." Xiao Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Is my mother beautiful?"

"Of course she's pretty," Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "There are pictures of her everywhere in the house, it's not like you can't see them."

"Then is my mother the most beautiful woman in your heart?" Xiao Yao continued. And following Xiao Siqi's answer, his fingers pressed a string of notes on the keyboard.

"Of course, in my heart, your mother is the most beautiful woman in the world." Xiao Siqi sighed, seeming to recall Chen Zilin. Then, as if something was wrong, he asked Xiao Yao suspiciously, "What song did you play just now?"

"It's not a piece of music, I just played it casually." Xiao Yao deliberately smiled and said, "I just heard you say that my mother is the most beautiful woman in your heart, so I just played it a few times naturally."

"It looks pretty good, wait a minute, I want to write it down." Xiao Siqi said excitedly, "I'll have the words in no time. As far as I said just now, you are the most beautiful in my heart."

Seeing Xiao Siqi excitedly go to get the blank staff and pencil, the corner of Xiao Yao's mouth slightly raised an arc. What he just played was the melody of the first line of the chorus of Yuquan's highly sung song "The Most Beautiful" in his previous life. As a very accomplished musician, Xiao Siqi can naturally hear the excellence of this melody. Even the matching lyrics jumped out of Xiao Siqi's mouth under Xiao Yao's deliberate language guidance.

However, Xiao Yao only played the first line of the chorus, only two bars, far from a complete composition. It still takes hard work to make this song take shape in Xiao Siqi's hands. Xiao Yao couldn't and didn't plan to play the complete song to Xiao Siqi, otherwise the song wouldn't be Xiao Siqi's original. Xiao Yao's plan is to pick out a few impressive sections of the verse and chorus, pretend to play them casually, and leave the rest to be perfected by Xiao Siqi himself. When many musicians write songs, they first have a great melody, and then gradually add and perfect it to form the verse and chorus, and then fill in the lyrics, and finally become a complete song. This creative process is normal .

Seeing Xiao Siqi accurately turn the two-bar melody he played just now into notes on the paper, and add words underneath, Xiao Yao continued: "Dad, let's talk, talk about you and my mother. What was it like on a first date? Were there any flowers? What flowers? Roses?"

"Hey, I said you are a child, how do you know so much? Forget it, you are not an ordinary child anyway." Xiao Siqi threw the pen and paper on the coffee table, turned around and leaned comfortably on the sofa. "The first date, of course, is to send flowers. Dates, besides roses, can you give girls carnations?" Xiao Siqi smiled, seeming to recall the scene of the first date with Chen Zilin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao nodded seriously, and said, "Judging from the performance of living with you in the past few months, I think it's quite appropriate for you to send carnations."

Xiao Siqi was stunned for a while before he realized that Xiao Yao was saying that his life skills were too poor, and Chen Zilin was obviously taking care of everything in life. Chen Zilin took care of Xiao Siqi like a mother taking care of her son.

"Hey, don't you want to beat me? Did you say that about Dad?" Xiao Siqi feigned anger.
