Chapter 18: most important work

Views:

The resignation process went smoothly.

Lu Chen called the store manager yesterday to inform the store manager of his decision. Since he is a temporary worker whose salary is calculated by the hour and has not signed a formal contract, there are not many guarantees and naturally there are not many restrictions. He can leave whenever he wants.

The store manager felt a little regretful, because Lu Chen had been working in this KFC store on Xingfu Road for more than half a year. He had been working diligently and conscientiously, and he was never late or left early, which was the performance of an excellent employee.

It's a pity that there are not many young people nowadays who are willing to succumb to delivering food in fast food restaurants for a long time.

So the store manager didn't make things difficult for others, and settled the salary of the current month happily after a few words to no avail.

With a thin stack of banknotes in his arms, Lu Chen left without the slightest nostalgia.

"Lu Chen, Brother Lu!"

He had just walked onto the sidewalk when an anxious call suddenly came from behind him.

Lu Chen turned around involuntarily, and saw a woman in the uniform of a KFC employee chasing after him, shouting as she ran, "Wait!"

Lu Chen was surprised: "Chen Xin, are you looking for me?"

This woman named Chen Xin is Lu Chen's colleague. Although she is younger than him, she is already an old employee.

Lu Chen didn't know her very well. He only knew that the other party was from Sichuan. He had been in the capital for two or three years. The two of them usually didn't talk much, and at most they just greeted each other.

Chen Xin ran in a hurry, her round white face was flushed with health, showing a bit of beauty.

She stopped in front of Lu Chen, but didn't dare to look into Lu Chen's eyes, and asked, "You, you resigned?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I found another job, so I won't do it here."

Chen Xin finally raised her head, her eyes obviously showed a hint of disappointment, she bit her lip, and asked in a low voice: "Then are you still staying in the capital?"

Lu Chen was stunned.

He is not a dull fool, and Chen Xin's performance is so obvious, how can he not understand

It's just that Lu Chen never thought that Chen Xin would like him!

In his memory, there is very little content about this girl, and there are only conversations at work.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, if there are no accidents, I will stay in the capital all the time, and my current new job cannot be separated from here!"

A look of joy appeared on Chen Xin's face, and he said, "Then can you leave me a contact information?"

Although Lu Chen didn't have any feelings for her, he just regarded her as an ordinary work colleague, but at this time he didn't want to disappoint her, so he agreed: "Okay, you can add me to Feixun, we can contact later. "

Lu Chen told Chen Xin his Fetion number.

After Chen Xin wrote it down on his mobile phone, Lu Chen waved goodbye to her.

But when Lu Chen walked a long way, he inadvertently looked back, only to see that figure was still standing there.

In this metropolis with a population of 30 million, people get together and separate, always in such a hurry!

Back in his small dwelling, Lu Chen washed his face first.

The cold water used to wash his face was bitingly cold. He needed to calm himself down and think about the road ahead.

Of course, quitting the job at KFC was not impulsive. The income of this part-time job is not very high, and it takes up the whole daytime, so there is no need to continue to do it.

In Lu Chen's view, his most important job at present should be sorting out the treasures in his memory, the thousands of classic songs, and countless beautiful and moving stories.

These memories came too suddenly. Although they have been engraved in his mind, Lu Chen is not sure at all. Will they disappear suddenly one day, leaving him with a dream

So it is undoubtedly extremely important to organize and record the things in memory!

After washing his face, Lu Chen's mind became extremely clear. He sat in front of the desk, turned on the computer, and took out a pen and paper.

He first sketched on a white paper and drew up a crude chart.

Lu Chen classified the songs in his memory into simple categories, first of all, Daxiang's love songs, rock, folk songs, film and television theme songs, Chinese style, fast songs...

Below the major items are subdivided sub-items. For example, love songs can be classified according to emotion, tender, nostalgic, melancholy, sad, happy, and male and female duets.

Another example is folk songs, which are divided into campus folk songs, urban folk songs, rural folk songs, independent folk songs and so on.

As for rock and fast songs, they also have a variety of styles.

The more he wrote on paper, the more clear his thoughts became.

What Lu Chen is doing now is to draw a big frame for memory, and there are countless blank spaces with hints in the frame, and then he can slowly fill up the blank spaces, instead of just writing whatever comes to mind, he can do whatever he wants.

In this way, errors, omissions and loss of memory can be avoided to the greatest extent.

The formulation of the framework is only the first step, and the subsequent work is really difficult.

Every song needs to compose music and fill in the lyrics. If you are familiar with it, you can play and sing by yourself. Rewriting is very simple, but many songs that you have only heard once or twice need to spend a lot of effort to restore.

And arranger.

Someone once said that if you only know how to write melodies but don't know how to arrange music, that's not considered real composition.

This sentence may be too extreme, but it is not unreasonable, and arrangement is precisely Lu Chen's biggest weakness in music - his understanding of arrangement is very limited.

The limited experience still comes from the memory of the singer Xu Bo in the dream. Xu Bo has musical talent, but his talent is mainly reflected in singing and playing. He can write some songs but can't arrange music.

The classics in Lu Chen's memory often have exquisite arrangements, some even reach a perfect level. The clever arrangements make the melody more moving, which is an important factor in making the classics impossible.

The accompaniment with rich tones requires the cooperation of a large number of instruments. If Lu Chen were to rewrite them, it would be an impossible task.

Of course, Lu Chen can entrust others with the task of arranging music. Domestic pop music is very prosperous. There are many musicians who are good at arranging music, and there are many famous people.

But those musicians may not be able to perfectly meet Lu Chen's requirements, so he wants to try to learn the skills and abilities of arranging by himself, and finally complete these classic works by himself.

Lu Chen never thought about it. From now on, he will spend his whole life comfortably by selling the things in his dreams and memories effortlessly.

He is still very young, has lofty ideals and pursuits, and hopes to achieve his goals through hard work!

Of course, for now, the matter of composition must be released first, even if you want to learn, you can't learn it right away.

Controlling the mouse to open "Master Singer", Lu Chen started today's work.

Time passed silently, and the small dwelling was quiet, only the sound of keyboard tapping and mouse clicking sounded from time to time, and occasionally the cooling fan in the old computer could be heard whirring.

Song after song was remade in Lu Chen's hands, and then saved one by one according to category.

For several important songs, he directly sent them to the "Great China Music Library" for copyright inquiry and registration to ensure that there are no legal problems in copyright.

This is very important. In the pop music world, disputes over song copyrights are very common and have to be guarded against.

The search and registration fees for the "Great China Music Library" are so high that many people in the music industry have expressed strong dissatisfaction, but no one has questioned its authority and credibility.

In fact, it is very simple for Lu Chen to save money. He only needs to publish the songs he wrote on large-scale music forums or websites, and pay dozens of dollars to register and prove the copyright, which can basically guarantee the rights and interests of the creator.

But the value of these songs is too high!

Lu Chen is not a short-sighted person, just like he did not sign a contract that is not conducive to his original copyright, he pays more attention to the long-term development needs, and now he also has the money to register the copyright.

The share he earned in the Wangyoucao bar, and the rewards he got from the webcast are all his confidence!

He was concentrating on working in front of the computer until there was a "cuckoo" protest in his stomach.

At this time, Lu Chen woke up from the state of ecstasy, and couldn't help touching his shriveled belly.

When he looked at the time displayed on the computer, it was already past 12 noon!

Lu Chen was a little speechless. Firstly, he didn't expect to sit for such a long time, and secondly, he was hungry too fast, completely beyond the normal state.

You must know that he ate breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it was twice the usual amount!

Mental labor consumption is also great!

Lu Chen shook his head and stood up, stretched his stiff body from sitting for a long time, and prepared to go out for lunch.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
