$362, There Is No Coincidence in the World
"What are you doing?" Zhou Lingwei had just come out of the shower, her hair was wet.
"I composed a Cantonese song for the God of Song." Jiang Ge went to get the hair dryer with quick hands and feet.
"Another Cantonese song?" Zhou Lingwei was confused and asked while blowing her hair: "You seem to particularly like 'Cantonese', and that's the song "Song of the Sunset" for Sister Mei."
Jiang Ge was stunned by the question and didn't know how to explain it.
Just like when he first listened to Cantonese songs in his previous life on earth, he always felt that they had a special taste, but he couldn't tell what was good about them.
He was silent for a few seconds, organizing his words, and then said: "Cantonese has nine tones and six tones. When there are more tones, there will be special emphasis on writing lyrics. Just like Tang poetry and Song lyrics, they need rhyme and oblique, and the rich tones make it easy to read. The cadence expresses emotions more vividly, and the emotions sound relatively strong, which makes people feel comfortable."
Zhou Lingwei seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. The only Cantonese or Cantonese song she had ever been exposed to was "Song of the Sunset" that she heard him sing a cappella last time. She immediately said: "Since it has been written, sing it to me."
While turning off the hair dryer, he quickly added: "No talking or singing."
Hearing this, Jiang Ge touched his nose and said, "Sing."
Then he coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and sang: "The sadness can't go away, the depression can't go away, why is my heart so empty..."
Zhou Lingwei couldn't understand most of the words, and the only one she could understand clearly was the sentence "Why do I like you?"
but.
Listening to the melody, a faint melancholy arose in her heart, reflecting the unique instability of love, which made the scene in front of her solidify in her memory, or maybe it was just because there was someone she liked beside her.
The singing stopped, Jiang Ge touched his nose again and said: "My Cantonese is not very standard."
Zhou Lingwei looked at him blankly, her eyes became extremely complicated, but in just a short moment, all that was left was deep affection. She said with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Although I don't understand, I think it sounds very good, like a ray of morning light." The air is fresh and immerses the heart.”
It seems that this is the case with Cantonese songs.
Say "I love you" in thousands of ways - "Love and hate stir up in the sea of suffering. It is difficult to escape fate in this world. Blind dates are inaccessible, or I should believe it is fate."
The singer's voice expresses "what a pity" - "how many seconds does it take to cherish what I love? How much can I do in these few seconds".
He also uses ordinary imagery to tell you what "bitter feelings" are - "Next year today, I haven't seen you for a year. Who would be willing to change and leave you for sixty years? I hope I can recognize your children."
Cantonese songs are profound, boundless, and clever.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ge was afraid that Zhou Lingwei would misunderstand, so he explained: "This song is not about..."
Zhou Lingwei guessed what he was going to say, smiled gently, and interrupted: "I know."
She is not in a hurry and believes that Django will write a song for her and their love.
Jiang Ge mainly feels that the songs for her express his love. It always feels weird if others sing them, so all the songs that have appeared so far have never been said to be "because of her" or "for her" And write.
Find an opportunity to compose a song, which can be regarded as a spice in love.

Liu Ronghua, one of the Four Kings of Chinese music in the 1990s, is as famous as Zhang Liming, Guo You and Li Min.
At the beginning of the year, he signed a contract with Douyin and held an online concert. The number of viewers exceeded 100 million, breaking multiple records on the platform. The video even dominated the entire Douyin screen. Netizens commented that "the king is back, and Internet celebrities are all on the sidelines."
His studio was working on a new song while the iron was hot.
"This song is good."
Walking out of the recording studio, Liu Ronghua felt good about himself.
After recording, the next step is to determine the release time.
"Brother Hua, there are two Django songs on the charts recently. Do you want to avoid them?"
"Who sang it?"
"Qin Shiyue and Gu Yao."
"Female singer?"
"Well, one is the first female singer of the new generation, and the other is the first actress of the Mesozoic generation."
"If it doesn't interfere, we will release it on the Lantern Festival."
…
Maybe other singers are afraid that their songs will collide with Django's songs, but Liu Ronghua is not afraid.
Besides, both of them are juniors, so how much conflict can they have with him.
Now that you are looking forward to your second spring, if you don’t make money while the popularity is still there, why don’t you have to wait until the popularity subsides?
"Brother Hua, Douyin has accepted the offer and is willing to buy the copyright."
"Okay, then leave it to them for distribution."
"But, they want you to release the song live."
"Live broadcast? How to release songs?"
"It's just to put the songs on the shelves while singing in the live broadcast room."
"This is okay."
…
Liu Ronghua accepted the new industry of "live broadcast" very quickly.
After all, it is a product of the times, just like tape albums replaced vinyl albums, CD albums replaced tape albums, and digital albums replaced CD albums.
To keep up with the times, we must start by understanding the products of the times.

You will find that after entering the 21st century, the frequency of a singer releasing songs is becoming less and less. Especially the more famous the singer is, the slower he will release songs. In the past, it might be a few songs a year, but now it may be one song every few years. .
In fact, releasing a song is not that simple. It is not just a matter of singing a few lines. It requires a lot of decisions, lyrics, music, arrangement and a series of other things.
Moreover, the more famous the singer is, the stricter he is with himself. He has to check every level and make the song perfect before releasing it.
For example, Zhang Liming, who has the title of "God of Songs", is very cautious when releasing songs.
Therefore, after seeing Jiang Ge, who writes songs quickly and well, he will try every means to make an appointment for a song.
Of course, after making an appointment with a song, he has been waiting and looking forward to it, and he is a little anxious.
On the seventh day of the New Year, Zhang Liming suddenly received a call from Jiang Ge and was told that the new song was available, and he received the music score a few minutes later.
He was naturally very excited, and the key point was that this was a Cantonese song.
After studying it all night, he bought a plane ticket to Hangzhou the next day.
Jiang Ge asked Zhang Liming to practice for a few more days and find a day to record before the Lantern Festival. Unexpectedly, he came so soon.
"Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
...
After greeting each other, Zhang Liming followed Jiang Ge to the recording studio.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, except for the artists, all other departments of Huafeng Media had returned to work as usual.
Music Director Luo Hai and Recording Engineer Feng Liang were surprised to see Jiang Ge come on the first day of work, and brought the God of Songs with him. They were also excited because it meant there were new songs.
They calculated in their hearts that the last time Zhang Liming released a new single was seven years ago.
And the God of Songs releasing a song is a big event in the Chinese music scene, and the bigger event is that it is Jiang Ge's song.
After the equipment was debugged, the recording began.
