Chapter 14 The Sea of ​​Stars

The more Zhou Rui thought about it, the more he felt this song was suitable.

It's melodious and exciting, especially the melody is extremely catchy. Even in the short video era where music is fragmented, it still breaks through and becomes popular.

That is "Stars and Sea".

When many people heard this song for the first time, it was in a short video and understood it as a song praising love.

But in fact, this song did not become a hit after it was released. However, after it was submitted to a certain centenary journey celebration event, it gradually caught on and became popular all over the Internet.

It is also the theme song for the lunar exploration project series.

This is a piece that perfectly blends pop music with mainstream values.

After knowing the story behind the song, Zhou Rui went out to find both versions, especially to figure out the lyrics. He really heard the atmosphere of the changing times from the melodious female voice.

He began to recall the melody of "Sea of ​​Stars" in his mind. If not counting the rebirth, he had played this song on a single loop "last week", so he was very familiar with it.

With the addition of the [Absolute Musical Sense] entry, many details of this song emerged in Zhou Rui's mind. What is the background sound of the main song, what instruments are there, the chord transition of the chorus, and even some singing techniques. Emerge one by one.

The arrangement of this song is not complicated. It can be done with only piano and bass. The singing is a little difficult, but the main test is the timbre rather than the technique. It needs a soft and atmospheric sound, and the emotion should be richer.

With a rough pulse, Zhou Rui no longer hesitated and started to work hurriedly.

Learn staff

Yes, he is now equivalent to a "musically illiterate" with top talent.

If he wants to express the melody in his mind and convert it into music score to register the copyright, he can't just hum it and sing it out, right? He had to have music scores that conformed to the rules, and he had not experienced any learning in this area. He only roughly knew the rules of the music notation in junior high school music class.

Staff notation is difficult to say, but easy to say. Many people have said that it only takes half an hour to master the basic rules of staff notation. After all, it is not difficult to understand the notes according to the position of the lines.

But it will take several years to use it proficiently, even for performance, and to be able to recognize it at a glance.

Fortunately, Zhou Rui doesn't need to pursue this realm. He doesn't need to be able to recognize the staff at a glance, at least not yet. He only needs to write out the melody in his mind within the rules of the staff, note by note.

It's like giving him a mathematical formula and him replacing the numbers in it.

Even if it takes him one night, as long as he can finish it in compliance with the rules, it will be fine. Even if he finishes writing it by himself and then reads the score again, he will stumble, but so what?

There are actually two versions of this song, one is the popular version and the other is the century-old version. Zhou Rui has also listened to the century-old version, but feels that the lyrics are a bit too straightforward and not as relatable as the implicit praise of the original version, so Zhou Rui Rui Lyrics uses the original version.

Because the subject matter and lyrics were so relevant, Zhou Rui basically didn't change a word. Even the simple and stylish English parts of the lyrics were kept intact.

In this era, it is time for everyone to work together to seek a positive international image. For this kind of "red song" collection activity, it may be a bonus to have English lyrics, which are only two sentences anyway.

When Zhou Rui finished a song, he looked at the staff drawn with a ruler in his hand and felt satisfied.

There are a lot of handwritten music scores, but I guess there aren’t many composers who draw the staff by hand, right?

Taking a photo with Li Wenqian's mobile phone, Zhou Rui looked at the time and saw that it was already two o'clock.

Quickly wash up and go to bed.

Before going to bed, he quietly took out his ID card from under the TV cabinet.

Yao Peili hid this to prevent Zhou Rui from going to the Internet cafe, but in fact Zhou Rui already knew where it was hidden.

Tomorrow he had to find a way to get a scanned copy of the music score in order to process the copyright registration. An ID card was also essential.

It's only been a day, so it shouldn't be discovered.

Zhou Rui also has a bank card of his own. In order to appear "independent", he asked his mother to get one for him, and used it to store lucky money.

In fact, he didn't use it much at all. He didn't have many relatives, so he couldn't receive much money at all. Moreover, before the end of the Spring Festival, the New Year's money would be stolen by Yao Peili under various pretexts, and he would not be able to go through the process of "saving money". .

After preparing everything, Zhou Rui lay on the bed and went to sleep quickly.

Sleeping later and later every day, he had to preserve his hairline.

Early the next morning, Zhou Rui still went to pick up Li Wenqian.

"You may need to use your phone for a while. How about I keep it for you for a while?"

Li Wenqian wrinkled her nose and expressed her little emotion, but she didn't object because the fruit peel on Zhou Rui's hand had already poked her delicate face.

He gave too much.

"Okay, then you can use it. Who told you to hand over the phone yourself? Aunt Yao must be very happy!"

Zhou Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Stop talking, my face already hurts."

"By the way, you are so mysterious, what are you doing?"

Only then did Li Wenqian remember that she didn't even ask Zhou Rui what he was doing with his cell phone yesterday!

Are you too obedient? Give it as soon as you ask for it

A piece of fruit peel was deceived all night long!

Zhou Rui didn't plan to hide it from Li Wenqian, because the next plan would definitely involve her. The demo recording of "Starry Sea" would also require the help of this future queen!

He said directly: "Write a song."

Li Wenqian suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Write a song? You? Really?"

It's not that she looked down on Zhou Rui, but Zhou Rui, like her, had never received any music training since childhood.

Zhou Rui used Li Wenqian's mobile phone to show the photo of the handwritten music score and said: "Look, the result of one night, the real thing!"

Li Wenqian widened her eyes: "It's still the five-line score! When did you learn this?"

The future "last queen" can't even read the five-line score at present.

She just felt that Zhou Rui was shining!

Zhou Rui "rua" a mushroom head, don't say, the hair is quite smooth, the kind of smoothness with a fragrance in the dry.

Although the hairstyle is a bit rustic, Li Wenqian is not a girl who doesn't care about her appearance.

"The rules of the five-line notation are not complicated. I took some time to study it. Don't just stare at me. You have big eyes. Wait until the copyright is registered. You have to help me record a demo."

Li Wenqian shook her head: "Me? No, no! I don't even know the five-line notation, and I haven't sung much."

She still knows nothing about her talent. The person who has the most confidence in her in the world is Zhou Rui.

She doesn't even need to know how to read the music. Zhou Rui will teach her how to sing one sentence at a time.

Li Wenqian's voice is very suitable for the song "Starry Sea". Even if it is an untrained white voice, it is enough to beat many professional singers.

God feeds food, and can he drop the spoon on the ground? God has no shame?

"By the way, I heard that there is a transfer student in your class? College entrance examination immigrant?"

Li Wenqian said suddenly.

Zhou Rui did not hide it and said frankly: "Yes, he just arrived at school yesterday afternoon."

Li Wenqian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The main thing is that she didn't know that the girl who was rumored to be able to directly win the throne of the school beauty was Zhou Rui's deskmate.

They were also friends who had risked their lives.

She didn't know that her house was being robbed.

The two separated in front of the school gate as usual, and then went to their respective classes.

When Zhou Rui came, Han Ziyin had not arrived yet. He casually opened his schoolbag and prepared to tidy up the table.

As a result, his hand touched a hard object.

He took it out and looked.

Wow! A new mobile phone!

The white, textured hard box was printed with the Nokia logo. The photo on the package was a side-sliding flip phone with a full touch screen and a full keyboard.

It was Nokia's last madness, the famous N97!

If I remember correctly, this phone has not yet been officially released in the mainland, but the unique design and the top configurations of this era have already made the N97 a great name.

It is called the "first generation of mobile phones"!

Zhou Rui remembered that in his previous life, when he was a freshman, there was a rich second-generation in his class who used this phone. At that time, Nokia had not fallen from the altar. Once this phone was taken out, it was a proof of financial strength.

After all, in 2009, this phone cost more than 6,000 yuan

And now, in Zhou Rui's desk, a brand new N97 that has not been publicly released appeared

He looked around, wondering who would put this in his desk.

What is this? A gift? Or was it put in the wrong place?

As a high school student, is it too expensive?

Just as Zhou Rui looked around and guessed in his heart, he saw Han Ziyin walking in with her slender neck held high and her eyes straight ahead.

But when she looked at Zhou Rui, she subconsciously avoided his gaze, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Rui thought: Could it be Han Ziyin?
