Chapter Eighty-six: I Found Myself

  It wasn't until evening that Lu Li came up with a song based on some information about this person that Lu Qiang had told him, but there were two songs.

  Since this music producer likes to pursue himself, doesn't care about others' opinions, and does things his own way, then wanting to move him naturally requires songs that are true to oneself and searching for oneself. Lu Li found two songs in her mental song library based on this information, one is "Me", the other is "Finding Myself".

  "This song" is a work of 2000, belonging to the late works of Brother, with Cantonese and Mandarin versions.

  "I" is still a collaborative work between Brother and Lin Xi, but it's different from their usual free creation. "I" was actually given by Brother himself. There are only two songs that were personally given by Brother, one of which is "I", the other being "Red".

  At that time, my brother said to Lin Xi teacher "I am what I am, do you understand?"

  Teacher Lin Xi nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, I understand." Then he wrote down the lyrics of the song "Me".

  Some people say that only Lin Xi's lyrics can carve out the spiritual realm that Brother cannot touch. At this time, Brother began to gradually throw off the shackles of worldly judgment and be true to himself. Lin Xi's lyrics can be said to be very fitting, I am me, a different colored firework. I want to be myself, I am me, I am not someone else.

  This song, which expresses the attitude of life, is of great significance to Brother and his fans, and is also deeply loved by Brother. Every time Brother sings two versions of "Me", one in the middle and one at the end. And this final version of the last concert was even more emotional, and it is still remembered by countless people today.

  Some people have commented that many songs are more pleasant in Cantonese version, CD version is better than the live version, but this song "I" is an exception. The Mandarin version sounds better than the Cantonese version, and the concert version sounds better than the CD version.

  Moreover, this song has been covered by many stars, even writer Han Han has covered a version. Lu Li also likes this song very much, so based on being true to oneself, he quickly locked in this song.

  "Find Yourself" is a song that was released before "Me", and it's included in David Tao's 1999 album "I'm OK". Unlike the loyalty to oneself in "Me", "Find Yourself" is more about how people easily lose themselves in the complexities of society; when faced with worldly noise and distractions, can one still find their original self?

  Finding oneself is perhaps a state, finding oneself, the past self, and the future self, but not the present self. Perhaps when we grow old, we will understand that the most important thing in life is still the present self, but people just can't help but look for a self that is not the current one.

  Find yourself, these three particularly powerful words, combined with Tao's strong rock, not only overflowing with emotion, but also extremely impactful, making one want to splash in the rain like in the song, to find their own journey, to find themselves and be themselves.

  He thought and did, Lu Li found paper and pen at home that night and quickly wrote the two songs. He was prepared to register them the next day. The impression of his song being stolen last time was still deep, he didn't want such a thing to happen again.

  After writing these two songs, Lu Li also had a preliminary idea of which songs to choose for the new album, and completed the registration at the same time.

  "Brother Qiang, I've written two songs. Which one do you think can move this friend of yours?" The next day at Bieyue Entertainment, Lu Li took out the lyrics and scores of the two songs he had prepared and asked Lu Qiang.

  Lu Qiang looked at Lu Li with a gaze as if he was looking at a monster. He had only told Lu Li about this matter yesterday, and he thought it would take Lu Li a long time to write the song. Unexpectedly, Lu Li finished writing not one but two songs in just one night. Was this humanly possible? Or did he think that he could just scribble something down to fool people? But Lu Qiang wouldn't express such thoughts out loud. He took the two songs handed over by Lu Li and started reading them.

  Lu Qiang looked at him for a long time, occasionally raising his head to glance at Lu Li before lowering it again.

  At first, Lu Li didn't feel anything, but as time went on, she started to get anxious.

  He was very confident about these two songs. If this person really had the personality that Lu Qiang described, then one of the songs would definitely move him. If even such a song couldn't move this person, then Lu Li wouldn't bother inviting him. Such a person wasn't worth inviting anyway.

  Finally, when Lu Qiang looked up at Lu Li again, Lu Li couldn't help but say: "Brother Qiang, what do you mean by this? Can two songs be watched for so long?"

  Seeing Lu Li's anxious appearance, Lu Qiang couldn't help but laugh: "You little monster, you really are a little monster. Lu Li, are you sure you don't know my friend?"

  "How can I possibly know? I don't even know his name yet." Lu Li said irritably at this moment.

  "You can write such great lyrics for the song 'Me', I feel like it's written by someone who knows me best. Lu Qiang said: "And I just returned to China, only to find out that you are a web literature god in these few days, I really don't know how your brain is structured, to be so talented."

  Lu Li finally understood why Lu Qiang had been staring for so long, and his emotions calmed down. He couldn't help but think of another brother who had passed away in another dimension, and said: "Let's not talk about these useless things, besides, this song is written about someone else, not your friend."

  Lu Qiang didn't expect such a thing and hastily asked: "Who wrote it?"

  "Never mind, you won't recognize him and it's impossible to meet him anyway." Lu Li thought of his brother and felt a bit down, saying: "Just tell me which song is better, then let your friend take a look as soon as possible."

  "Hmm, I don't understand music, but judging from the lyrics, I think both songs are great. However, compared to each other, I think 'Me' suits this friend's taste better, so I'll choose this one." Lu Qiang thought for a moment before saying this in response to Lu Li's words.

  "Hmm, okay, are you going to take this score away or what?" Lu Li asked.

  "No need, I'll just take a photo and send it online, that's faster and more convenient." Lu Qiang replied.

  "Alright, I'll leave it to you to get in touch with this music producer," Lu Li said.

  "No problem, I think the lyrics alone will move him, and I also believe that your melody won't disappoint. I'll definitely bring this person over for you." Lu Qiang guaranteed.

  Lu Li nodded and said, "Alright." After that, she went back to her own office desk and sat down.

  No sooner had he sat down than Zhang Fengruo walked over.

  "Boss, thank you for your recommendation. After uploading the song to yy music network yesterday, the number of trials and downloads is very good for a newcomer, much better than that of ordinary online singers. And many of your book fans also left messages to support me, which gave me great encouragement." Zhang Fengruo said happily to Lu Li.

  "Really? I didn't expect them to be so powerful either, let's work hard and wait for my album to come out, then I'll help you write a few songs too." Lu Li encouraged.

  "Ah, I'll work hard." Zhang Fengru nodded vigorously when he heard Lu Li's words. He knew that "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was Lu Li's original work, and he had no doubt about Lu Li's songwriting skills. So at this moment, hearing that Lu Li was willing to write a song for him, he was naturally very excited.

  After Zhang Fengruo left, Lu Li also accessed Zhang Fengruo's personal page on YY through his computer and saw that the number of trials and downloads of Zhang Fengruo's two songs were not small. Especially the song "Black Night", the download volume has reached 10,000. The other song also has around 4 to 5 thousand.

  As for the income from these two songs, after deducting the share of yy music network, there will be more than 10,000 yuan left. Lu Li also promised that Zhang Feng would have all the income from these two songs. In other words, Zhang Feng's income for these two months, plus his basic salary in the company, is almost close to 20,000 yuan, which is a pretty good income level for Huaqing. Moreover, Zhang Feng has just graduated from university and can earn such an income, which is enviable for many people.

  As for Wu Chuan and Lü Yi, they all have salaries from the company, so they are also in favor of Zhang Fengruo getting this income.

  But afterwards, other artists from the entertainment company will not have such good things. Lu Li will sign contracts with each person according to their worth, and this kind of income is generally distributed to the artist according to the contract's share.

  Lu Li also saw the comments from Lu Meng members on Zhang Fengruo's personal page, all of whom expressed that this newcomer is not bad, with good voice and appearance conditions, and hoped to continue working hard. At the same time, many people also expressed their expectations for Lu Li's new song.

  Lu Di didn't think that just recommending it would bring so many book friends to support, and the download volume was also very good, so he decided to add more updates to reward the readers.

  Turn off the YY music network webpage, Lu Li starts typing away.

  At this moment, in a hotel in Taiwan Province, a thin man with long hair and a beard sat motionless in front of the computer, staring at the screen.

  I am what I am

  Fireworks of different colors

  The sky is vast and the sea is wide

  To be the strongest foam

  I like myself

  Let rose bloom with an outcome

  In the lonely desert

  The same luxuriantly displayed red camellia

  ……

  Every time he recited a sentence, his eyes lit up a little more.

  "Not bad, didn't expect a young man in his 20s to be able to write such lyrics. Not bad." The man stroked his chin whiskers and said "not bad" twice.

  "Take another look at the melody, but don't ruin such excellent lyrics." The man said, then looked back at his computer.

  "Hey, it seems like working with Qiangzi isn't so bad after all." After finishing reading, the sloppy man shut down his computer and smiled, saying: "I heard that he even wrote two songs in his spare time, I'm really looking forward to meeting this web novel god who has musical talent."

  PS: Thanks to , Lan Zhan Xun Yun, and the three hardworking gentlemen for their rewards. Also, I'd like to recommend a book by a friend, "The Girls of King Arthur", which fans of moe-style anime and otaku literature can go check out.
