Lu Chen had learned the piano before, but he didn't learn it deeply, at most, he was only at the fourth or fifth amateur level.
Later, when he switched to guitar practice, the piano was naturally discarded, and it was not until recently that he picked it up again.
Playing the piano is a very powerful thing, and it is excellent for accompaniment, especially romantic and lyrical songs. The accompaniment effect of the piano is not comparable to that of other instruments, so Lu Chen worked hard before practicing.
It is not necessary to reach a professional level, it is enough to be able to bluff the layman.
The most important thing is that if you put aside your utilitarianism, practicing playing the piano is actually a very happy thing. Listening to the beautiful piano music flowing at your fingertips can sublimate your soul.
Lu Chen had never played such a precious piano.
The tone of this Steinway is excellent, even with his non-professional ears, he can still hear a huge difference from ordinary pianos. The bass is extremely rich, the midrange is warm and generous, and the treble is bright and gorgeous.
Especially the alto is the best, with strong appeal and expressiveness, worthy of the name of the piano emperor!
Playing Steinway, Lu Chen felt a lot of pressure.
I'm afraid that my poor skills will tarnish this million-dollar artifact.
But he was still confident. When his fingers lightly pressed on the warm keys, his mood quickly returned to peace.
Then the prelude was played.
Soothing, soft, uncomplicated structure, and the melodious 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 in winter to watch the rain,
Don't cry in a foreign land.
Come to Taipei in winter to watch the rain,
Dreams are the only luggage.
Come back gently without waking up the past,
As if I've never been far away~
If you meet and hide your words from the bottom of your heart,
No one understands you better than me!
God is still God,
rain or rain
You are no longer under my umbrella.
I'm still me
you are still you
Just one more winter!
…”
When Lu Chen started playing and singing, Su Daiwan half leaned on Li Murong's body, looking at him with a smile on her face.
However, when she heard the first line of the lyrics, her delicate body trembled involuntarily.
There was an extremely complicated look in her eyes.
"Winter to Taipei to Watch the Rain" is a lyrical song in remembrance of lost love. Although the artistic conception expressed in the lyrics has a lingering sense of loss and reveals the melancholy in the singer's heart, he can still face the reality optimistically.
The tone of this song is lyrical and calm, with a kind of elegant beauty, which is very suitable for female voices to sing.
When Lu Chen sang this song, he weakened the sentimental taste, amplified the sense of maturity and depth, and performed it with a slightly bitter but clear and smooth voice, as well as a slightly lonely emotion in his heart, so he possessed a different kind of charm.
Due to the lack of sound amplification equipment, he deliberately lowered the sound of the piano, and also reduced the appeal of many works.
But it still hit Su Daiwan's tears.
Su Daiwan grew up in Taipei. She came from a poor family. She came out to work before she finished high school. Later, she was discovered by scouts and entered the entertainment industry. With her outstanding appearance and singing voice, she has a bright future.
But only she knew how hard those days were. There were dangers lurking on the surface of the incomparable beauty, such as a gambling father, a manager with ulterior motives, a ruthless contracting company, and jealous competition... The opponent... seemed to be pressing on her body like a mountain, making her breathless.
Recalling the past, Su Daiwan felt so lucky that she met Li Murong during her most difficult time, and thus forged a lifelong relationship.
She and him 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 the music scene.
Only in her dreams would Su Daiwan dream of the rain in Taipei and those people she used to be familiar with.
Homeland is hard to leave.
Li Murong was not her first love either.
"...
Come to Taipei in winter to watch the rain,
Don't cry in a foreign land.
Come to Taipei in winter to watch the rain,
Maybe meet you.
The streets are deserted and busy,
There are memories around every corner.
If we meet, there is no need to run away,
I will eventually walk away.
God is still God,
rain or rain
I am no longer familiar with this city!
I'm still me
you are still you
Just one more winter! "
Unknowingly, crystal tears slipped 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 rather unkindly.
This kid, did he do it on purpose
Fortunately, after Lu Chen sang it once, he didn't repeat it again.
Snapped! Snapped!
Su Daiwan straightened up, wiped away the tears from her face, and clapped her hands with a smile.
Li Mubai also applauded. He didn't have the same feelings as Su Daiwan, but simply felt that the song was good.
As for why the sister-in-law cried, Li Bai would not think about it.
That's the 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 had a feeling in his heart, and suddenly thought of this song, and took it out without thinking too much.
Now that I think about it, it feels a bit inappropriate.
"no no!"
Su Daiwan said without thinking: "This song is very good, very good, I like it."
She looked at her husband and said coquettishly, "You must not be unhappy, I've made up my mind, I want to release another album."
Li Mubai supported: "Sister-in-law is mighty!"
Li Murong couldn't help but glared at Lu Chen, the culprit, and said with a wry smile, "As long as you like it."
Li Murong knew that Su Daiwan was really lonely following him, she didn't have any relatives or friends in the mainland, her sister was even more lonely after going abroad, and he was often busy with work and socializing, so he didn't have much time to accompany him.
He is the only Su Daiwan, and he has three wives.
The most important thing is that the two have not had children for so long.
The guilt in his heart allowed Li Murong to fade away his resentment towards Lu Chen, and agreed to her request without hesitation.
Su Daiwan said happily: "After the album is released, I will hold another concert or a fan meeting. I wonder how many people still remember me? Lu Chen, please help me write two more songs!"
Lu Chen couldn't help looking at Li Murong.
It seems to be playing big!
Su Daiwan hugged her husband's arm tightly, and said with a smile: "You promised me, you can't interfere with my affairs, I'm almost bored at home, so just look for a job to do it? Okay?"
The tears on her face were still wet, but her smile was as gorgeous as a spring flower, with a charming charm.
Li Murong sighed, "Can I say no?"
Su Daiwan shook her head: "No!"
Li Murong nodded.
Li Mubai is afraid that the world will not be chaotic: "Sister-in-law, you release an album and hold a concert, I will bring all my friends to support me!"
Lu Chen felt like opening a Pandora's box, and quickly said, "It's getting late, brother Li, sister-in-law, then I'll go back first."
Su Daiwan reminded: "Don't forget to write songs for me!"
Lu Chen coughed twice, and said, "Well, I'll write it down and ask Mu Bai to give it to you."
He winked at Li Mubai.
After all, Li Mubai wasn't too stupid, and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm in charge of supervising brother Chen's songwriting, and I'll take him back. It's not easy to take a taxi here."
Li Murong waved his hand: "Go, go!"
He looked a little annoyed with these two!
Feeling relieved, Lu Chen hurriedly left with Li Mubai.
Su Daiwan and Li Murong sent him to the door.
After Li Mubai drove Lu Chen away, Su Daiwan asked Li Murong, "How do you feel about Lu Chen?"
Li Murong said angrily, "It's not that good!"
Su Daiwan was taken aback at first, and then laughed wildly: "Aren't you jealous?"
Li Murong remained silent.
Su Daiwan was not afraid, because she knew her husband very well and knew that Li Murong was pretending on purpose.
She smiled and said, "How about I introduce him to Xiaoqian?"
Li Murong was stunned, and said, "You want to introduce Lu Chen to Chen Qian?"
Su Daiwan was a little unhappy: "What kind of expression is this on your face? Is my sister not good? Xiaoqian is so beautiful, she just likes to play. Lu Chen is tall, handsome and talented. It's rare that she is also stable and sensible. She should be able to control her. "
Chen Qian is Su Daiwan's biological younger sister, but Su Daiwan takes her father's surname, while her younger sister takes her mother's surname.
Li Murong couldn't laugh or cry, he would never understand why women always love to match others so much.
But introducing Lu Chen to Chen Qian... sounds very interesting!
He couldn't help touching his chin, and said, "Okay, listen to you, I'm afraid that Chen Qian will look down on Lu Chen."
Su Daiwan said confidently: "She will listen to me."
Li Murong shook his head secretly, he suddenly bent down and picked up Su Daiwan, and said: "Don't talk about them, let's go do our own things and stay here tonight!"
Su Daiwan giggled and smiled, her eyes were soft and charming like water, and there seemed to be a charming smell in the air.
But at this moment, Lu Chen didn't know that he was being missed.
He was riding Li Mubai's sports car on the second ring road.
Li Mubai said while driving: "Brother Chen, you have to help me with the website matters, brother is going to cut off my pocket money, I can't live through this day!"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "If you can get a protection certificate, Crowdfunding has a lot to offer. In fact, you don't need to manage it yourself. At worst, you can hire a professional manager. You just need to do business."
For any business, early-stage personal connections are very important. As long as you can attract a few powerful big customers in the early-stage expansion of crowdfunding.
"Business?"
Li Mubai immediately felt relieved: "That's easy, I still have a lot of friends in the capital."
He knew that connections could make money, but he had never thought of making money from connections before.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "We already have our first business deal. In a few days, my album will be sold on Feixun Music. I want to start a crowdfunding campaign for the album at the same time, hoping to get a good start!"
After preparing for such a long time, the real test time is coming!
