Chapter 538 How Much Is This Song?
Wang Manling is a very smart woman.
She made her debut in a singing competition on a TV station.
That year Wang Manling was 18 years old, and she only made it to the top eight in that singing competition and was eliminated.
But a few years later, the champion and the top few were gone, but she became more and more popular.
After that, she was even smooth sailing. After winning the Golden Melody Award in the third year of her debut, she was nominated for the Silver Dragon Award. After winning the Golden Melody and Silver Dragon Double Song in the fifth year of her debut, she became the youngest queen in the history of the Chinese music scene.
At that time, many people felt that she had climbed too fast, her foundation was not stable, and she might not be able to stay on the throne of Queen of Heaven for long.
However, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, Wang Manling not only did not disappear from the crowd, but went higher and higher, not only domestically, but also won many awards internationally.
Now it seems to be recognized as the number one person in the Chinese music scene.
Even though she retired temporarily because of having a child the year before last, no one can shake her position.
In addition to talent, hard work and opportunity, Wang Manling also possesses one advantage that no one else has——
unique vision.
She can always find good songs that suit her best and cater to the market.
After giving birth, apart from taking care of the children at home, Wang Manling has also been paying attention to the situation in the music scene.
This year, Lin Yao's rise like a comet has also attracted Wang Manling's attention.
She deliberately went to listen to Lin Yao's song.
She soon discovered that almost every song written by Lin Yao this year was written by Fang Xiaole.
Many people think that Lin Yao's popularity is because she sings well, looks pretty, and has a gentle and lovable personality.
But Wang Manling felt that more than half of the credit should be credited to this songwriter named Fang Xiaole.
Later, I heard about Fang Xiaole from my younger brother Hong Sanshi.
Wang Manling wanted to invite Fang Xiaole to sing through Hong Sanshi, but she found that almost all the good songs written by Fang Xiaole were given to Lin Yao.
And the songs that Aiyao studio puts on sale are either of poor quality or not suitable for me.
She has an intuition that Fang Xiaole can write more good songs!
But if you want to invite songs from him, you have to go through Lin Yao.
With this in mind, Wang Manling agreed to the invitation of the Golden Melody Awards.
Sure enough, after Lin Yao won the Golden Melody Award, this also gave Wang Manling the opportunity to contact Lin Yao and invite Fang Xiaole to sing through her.
What she wants is not those quasi-first-class works sung by Logan and Xu Fei, but real classics such as Women's Flower and Courage.
After the Golden Melody Award, after waiting patiently for two days, Fang Xiaole finally called her.
Wang Manling originally planned to get close to the other party first, and then take advantage of the situation to throw out the request for singing.
But I didn't expect this Fang Xiaole to be so straightforward.
"Sister Manling, Lin Yao has already told me that you want me to write a song for you. It just so happens that I have a song that suits you very well."
When Wang Manling was slightly dazed, Fang Xiaole continued.
"What song is it?"
Wang Manling felt that she could not see through this young man.
Or,
She thought this person was too complicated from the beginning.
Could it be that if I discovered him earlier and was willing to pay a high price, the songs of courage, woman flower, invisible wings and painting heart would all be hers?
That's not right, Lin Yao was just a newcomer before, and Tianhai Entertainment was a half-dead person, how could he have the money to buy so many golden songs?
"The name of the song is When I Wake Up from a Dream."
Wang Manling was thinking, Fang Xiaole had already said the title of the song directly.
"When did you wake up from the dream?"
Wang Manling asked: "What style of song?"
"Sister Manling, if you want to listen to it, I'll send you a demo."
Fang Xiaole smiled.
"it is good."
Hearing Fang Xiaole's unusually calm voice, Wang Manling looked forward to it, because she could hear the incomparable confidence in Fang Xiaole's voice.
What is the level of a song that can make a gold medal songwriter so confident?
The two hung up the phone temporarily, and Fang Xiaole sent the demo of the song to Wang Manling's mailbox.
Two minutes later.
"Wife, sleep a lot, wife?"
Wang Manling's husband came out of the bedroom, closed the door, and walked to the living room, but saw Wang Manling wearing earphones and sitting on the sofa blankly.
"Wife?"
He walked over and touched Wang Manling.
"what?"
Only then did Wang Manling come back to her senses, and looked up at her husband, still a little bewildered.
"Honey, are you okay?"
The man was taken aback, thinking something had happened, and asked with concern.
Wang Manling's husband is Xiao Lin, who was also a singer. After the two got married, Xiao Lin simply gave up singing and turned to behind-the-scenes to concentrate on doing logistics for his wife.
In Xiao Lin's impression, his wife is a very calm woman, and it is difficult for her to show such a sluggish and distracted look.
"Honey, listen to this song."
Wang Manling gave Xiao Lin an earphone, but then frowned again, and simply sent the demo of the song to Xiao Lin's mobile phone, and said to him:
"Find yourself a headset to listen to."
Then I put on two more headphones and played the demo again.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Lin laughed, wondering if his wife was teasing him? She hasn't heard any song in so many years, why is she so excited?
Even sharing a pair of headphones with myself is afraid of affecting the sound quality when listening to songs.
Xiao Lin, who was used to being disliked, shook his head, bent over and took out a pair of earphones from the drawer of the coffee table, plugged them into his mobile phone, and clicked on the song demo called "Dream Awakening".
"You said you loved someone you shouldn't love, and your heart is full of scars..."
After the free and elegant melody, a somewhat deep male voice sounded.
"The singer seems to have a problem with his voice."
Xiao Lin only had time to think about it, and his thoughts and feelings were soon brought in by the melody and singing.
A minute later, only one segment of the demo was played.
Xiao Lin let out a long breath.
He is forty-one this year, and has experienced many ups and downs and tribulations in the first half of his life. Even his relationship with Wang Manling has encountered many doubts and tests.
Stumbling all the way to today, the couple finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, which can be regarded as "old age".
Even though he is so happy today, the dents left by his life are deeply imprinted in his heart.
Recommended, the reading app I am using recently has many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!
At this time, the song "Dream Time" suddenly evoked Xiao Lin's emotions that hadn't fluctuated for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Sighing slightly, he lowered his head and pressed play again.
A minute later, Xiao Lin once again...
Wang Manling, who also listened to it again, directly took off the earphones for him, and asked impatiently:
"How about it?"
Xiao Lin didn't speak, picked up the tissue on the coffee table, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Huh? Why am I crying?"
Wang Manling touched her eyes in a daze.
"It might be onions. I added onions to the egg fried rice at noon."
Xiao Lin said calmly.
"I hate it, I didn't even eat your egg fried rice at noon!"
Wang Manling cursed with a smile, and wiped away her tears with a tissue.
"Husband, this song reminds me of the hardest days for both of us. I feel like I love you more...I must buy this song!"
Two minutes later, Wang Manling called Fang Xiaole:
"Teacher Fang, how much is this song?"
