Chapter 83 A Royal Flush
Having grown accustomed to a busy life, Jiang Feng found it quite difficult to adjust to suddenly having so much free time. He could only focus his energy on songwriting and wholeheartedly prepare for his new album.
The little bug devised a detailed "battle plan".
That is to let Ren Xianqi take the lead and release his album before Zhou Jielun, and then let Jiang Feng release his album after Zhou Jielun, so that they can form a pincer attack.
Jiang Feng was amused when he heard Xiao Chong's plan.
It's just releasing an album, why is it being treated like a war?
Is this treating Zhou Jielun like a Japanese soldier?
I wonder what Zhou Jielun will think when he finds out.
Indeed, there was a Japanese soldier named Dong Nidamu who looked very much like him.
Xiao Chong gave Jiang Feng a month to write a song.
If he doesn't write ten songs, Xiao Chong will just find a few "tool songs" to fill the gap.
Jiang Feng felt no pressure about this.
He now has four songs: "Lilac Flower", "Those Years", "Too Many", and "Turning Point".
Writing six songs in a month would be a pipe dream for others, but it was quite easy for him.
"Lilac" is adapted from Dai Wangshu's poem "Rainy Alley," and Jiang Feng continued this creative approach.
For a period of time afterward, he devoted himself to writing in the library every day, with a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in his left hand and a copy of "Three Hundred Song Lyrics" in his right, drawing nourishment from the poems of the ancients and seeking creative inspiration.
"Jiangnan is beautiful, its scenery is familiar from long ago. At sunrise, the river flowers are redder than fire, and in spring, the river water is greener than blue. How can I not miss Jiangnan?"
As Jiang Feng savored the poem "Remembering Jiangnan," images of the misty, picturesque scenery of Jiangnan floated into his mind.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he began to write furiously.
"Jiangnan"
"The wind gets sticky here"
The longing that clings to passersby
When the rain comes here, it's tangled up in a thread
Entangled with our lingering in this world
... "
After finishing writing it, he sang it softly once, and even he was amazed by his own performance.
Is this song really written by me?
In the following days, Jiang Feng selected three poems from "Three Hundred Song Lyrics".
Su Shi's "Bu Suanzi: Written While Residing at Dinghui Temple in Huangzhou", Li Qingzhao's "Ru Meng Ling: Last Night the Rain Was Sparse and the Wind Was Strong", and Lu You's "Bu Suanzi: Ode to Plum Blossoms".
He composed three songs based on these three Song Dynasty poems: "Lonely Sandbar", "Do You Know", and "Hidden Fragrance".
Including the previous four songs, there are a total of eight songs, two more to go.
Jiang Feng felt much less pressure and his creative mindset became more relaxed.
It was only then that he realized a problem: all eight of his songs were of an exceptionally high standard.
Generally speaking, it's already quite good if an album has one or two really good songs.
Even Jay Chou, hailed as a musical genius and a "little king" of pop, cannot guarantee that every song on his album will be a classic.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
To avoid being seen as a monster, Jiang Feng decided to write two more "bad songs".
So, with a playful attitude, he wrote a catchy song called "Mice Love Rice" and another song called "The Mistress".
These two songs seem out of place on the same album as the other eight, but that's exactly the effect Jiang Feng wanted.
He wanted to use these two "bad songs" to lower the overall quality of the album, so as not to attract too much attention.
At this point, all ten songs were completed in less than a month.
He immediately contacted Xiaochong and told him the news.
At first, Xiao Chong didn't quite believe it, but after listening to the demo Jiang Feng sent him, he was stunned and flew to Beijing overnight.
The next day, as soon as the two met, Xiao Chong couldn't wait to ask:
"Jiang Feng, did you really write all those new songs yourself?"
"Yes, Insect Song, what do you think?"
Upon receiving Jiang Feng's affirmative answer, Xiao Chong was utterly astonished.
After a moment of stunned silence, he came to his senses and exclaimed excitedly:
"Jiang Feng, your new songs are fantastic, especially 'Jiangnan,' 'Too Much,' and 'Lonely Sandbar'... These three songs will definitely be even more popular than 'Lilac Flower'!"
"You Are the Apple of My Eye, The Fragrance of Darkness, and Turning Point are also very good."
"As for 'Mice Love Rice' and 'The Mistress,' they are a bit vulgar, but they are easy to understand, humorous and funny, which fits the current internet trend and the tastes of young people. They might become popular on the internet like 'University Study Room' and 'Northeasterners Are All Living Lei Fengs' a couple of years ago."
Jiang Feng asked, "What about 'The Story of Minglan'?"
The little insect frowned slightly, giving a helpless, bitter smile:
"This is the song I don't understand the most. I can tell that the lyrics are adapted from Li Qingzhao's 'Like a Dream,' but this is the first time I've seen lyrics that are like ancient poems."
"The melody is also very retro, quite different from the melodies of today's pop songs. I've never heard a song like this before, and I can't even categorize it."
"The lyrics are beautiful and the melody is also very nice, but it feels a bit strange, like a song that modern people would listen to."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Insect Song, this is a style of music that I created myself. I named it Huaxia Style, which can also be understood as ancient style."
"Chinese style? Interesting."
Xiaochong provided a professional analysis.
"The song is good, but it's too experimental. I don't know if the audience will be able to accept it."
"But it doesn't matter, a few other songs are enough. I originally thought 'Lilac Flower' was already very good, but I didn't expect you to write so many more great songs all at once!"
At this point, Xiao Chong carefully examined Jiang Feng and sincerely said:
"Jiang Feng, you are truly the most talented musician I have ever met. It's a pity that your main profession is acting. Sigh, it would be so much better if you were a singer."
Jiang Feng stated that he sings only to make money, and that his passion for acting is greater than his passion for singing.
For him, singing is just a side job.
Seeing that he wasn't interested in this, Xiao Chong didn't press him and instead started discussing album production with him.
The song is already written; all that's left is arranging, recording, making records and tapes, releasing, selling, and charting...
Jiang Feng was only responsible for recording the songs; everything else was the record company's job.
For the arrangement, Xiao Chong invited the legendary composer Li Zongsheng.
Lee Tsung-sheng had a very good impression of Chiang Feng, and when he heard that he was going to produce an album for him, he agreed without hesitation.
In addition, to facilitate promotion and chart ranking, Xiaochong also wants to shoot two music videos.
This coincided with Jiang Feng's thoughts.
Music videos not only help promote the album, but also help listeners better understand the song's meaning and deepen their impression of the song.
Some talented singers will make a music video for every song on their album.
However, this would be too costly. Apart from those exceptionally popular singers, no one would dare to do this. Usually, they would just make a music video for their hit song.
Jiang Feng decided to shoot two music videos, one for "Lilac Flower" and one for "Those Years," with Ning Hao naturally serving as the director.
He approached Ning Hao and told him about his idea to make a music video.
I thought Ning Hao would definitely agree, but to my surprise, he said with a troubled look:
"Brother, I'm really sorry, but I've been working on a movie script lately and am currently trying to find investors. I'm just too busy to handle it. Why don't you find someone else?"
Jiang Feng smiled sinisterly:
"Hehe, Mouse, you don't want your teachers and classmates to find out about your 'Kidney Tonic' video, do you?"
Ning Hao: "..."
