Chapter 40 Changes in Adulthood
In the past two years, Chen Lang has adapted quite a few songs.
From children's songs to folk songs, and then to popular hits.
However, they have never touched on original content.
It's not that he can't write it.
With the vast repertoire of music in his head, he could easily copy a few songs and amaze the world.
But a seven-year-old child has no experience or emotional maturity.
You asked him to write songs about love, life, and the pain of separation and death.
It was still quite shocking.
So he has been preparing and waiting for the right opportunity.
He also laid a lot of groundwork and made reasonable preparations for this.
However, it now seems that the schedule for original songs definitely needs to be accelerated.
Yao Feng also came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Langlang, your uncle thinks you can try writing your own songs."
"Whether it's well-written or poorly written, there always has to be a beginning."
No matter how well you rearrange someone else's song, it's still someone else's song.
"Only your own work, no matter how rough or immature, is truly your own."
"That's what a true creator is."
As a professional teacher at a music academy, he certainly knows the importance of copyright and originality.
Chen Lang chuckled inwardly.
Uncle.
It's not that I can't afford it.
I was afraid that showing it would scare you.
He already has several songs in his head that are both suitable for his current age and classic enough.
He was simply choosing which song was most suitable as his debut work.
Chen Lang nodded to Yao Feng.
"Uncle, I already have an idea."
"I'll show you the first thing I write down."
Yao Feng laughed heartily with satisfaction.
"Okay, Uncle will wait."
After this brief incident, the concert continued.
Next up is the three little ones' time for a sing-along.
Chen Lang got off the drum stool and picked up the red electric guitar.
Yao Feng then took his drumsticks.
Yao Beina still plays the piano.
Liu Qianqian put down her violin and joined Yao Beina in front of the microphone.
Chen Lang plucked the strings, and a cheerful prelude began.
The Little Tigers' Green Apple Paradise.
The version he modified is even more rhythmic and energetic.
"Don't linger around midnight on weekends, come to Apple Paradise..."
As Chen Lang played the piano, he sang the verse into the microphone.
His voice hadn't gone through puberty yet; it was a clear and clean boyish voice.
In the past two years, while learning musical instruments, he has never neglected his vocal exercises.
His breath control was steady, and his pitch was excellent.
"Welcome, homeless child..."
In the chorus, Yao Beina and Liu Qianqian's voices were also added.
The three voices each have their own unique characteristics, but when combined, they create an exceptionally harmonious sound.
This little group also has an official name.
Langxi Beina.
It is a combination of the names of three people.
The three of them discussed the name for several days before finally deciding on it.
It sounds much better than those names like "Three Calabash Brothers" or "Three Little Pigs".
The family concert for tonight has come to an end.
Yao Feng and his family rode their bicycles home, completely satisfied.
The music room returned to silence.
Chen Lang picked up a large, plastic-looking remote control, turned off the air conditioner, and pulled the light cord.
They opened the door to the music room, which connected to their bedroom.
This was a design element that was intentionally left out when the house was renovated.
This allows them to enter and exit their training base at any time.
She is seven years old.
The relationship between the two children has undergone some subtle changes in the past two years.
Liu Qianqian is no longer like she was when she was a child, always sticking to Chen Lang.
The reasons for this are complex.
On the one hand, in the past two years, the master-servant relationship between them has been completely reversed.
From waking up to going to sleep.
From learning to practicing.
Chen Lang arranged everything.
As she grew older, a little bit of rebellion began to sprout in the little girl's heart.
She didn't want to listen to her brother in everything.
Virgos are indeed quite fussy.
On the other hand, they each have their own things they enjoy doing.
Chen Lang spent most of his time learning music and reading books.
He needs to keep learning to enrich himself and find reasonable explanations for his future creations.
Liu Qianqian, on the other hand, focused more on television.
She likes watching TV dramas and imitating the characters in them.
She would secretly take out her mother's old clothes from the bottom of the trunk and alter them into costumes herself.
Today she is Huang Rong, chasing after Chen Lang, calling out in different tones, "Brother Jing, Brother Jing..."
Tomorrow she will transform back into Little Dragon Girl, coldly and aloofly calling out "Guo'er" to Chen Lang.
Sometimes she would drape a white sheet over herself and, imitating the White Snake Lady, make hand gestures and spin around the room.
These are all incredibly popular TV dramas that have been airing in recent years.
There are fewer programs available now, and fewer channels can be found online.
It was replayed over and over again.
Even the way they address each other has changed.
She stopped calling Chen Lang "brother".
Instead, he followed the adults and called him Langlang.
Or when you want to tease him, you can imitate your grandmother's tone and call him Langyazi.
Upon entering the room, the most eye-catching feature is the two large bookshelves that reach the ceiling, with a ladder placed next to them.
One of the wall shelves was filled with all sorts of books.
There were comics and storybooks that Chen Lang read, as well as those that Liu Qianqian liked.
Chen Lang was mostly used for pretense and to establish a persona.
The other was various music tapes, including popular songs, instrumental music, and symphonies.
Domestic, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe and America, classical, pop—if not everything, the quantity is certainly enormous.
These are the essential accumulations he made to establish his image as a musical prodigy.
He asked his godfather, Chen Jinfei, to bring them from Guangzhou.
There's no way I'll give them money. Anyway, my biological father said that if I need money, I should ask my godfather.
Although I don't know why Shen Jingfang spoke so confidently.
However, judging from their attitude during that conversation, their relationship was probably not just a simple friendship.
Chen Lang and Liu Qianqian are still sleeping in the same room, but they are now sleeping in separate beds.
It's no longer the little bed I had when I was a child.
They replaced it with a bunk bed with metal frames.
Chen Lang slept on the upper bunk.
Liu Qianqian slept on the lower bunk.
A gauze curtain was specially hung around the lower bunk, which was replaced with a cloth curtain in winter.
It keeps mosquitoes away and provides privacy.
This bed was custom-made by Grandpa.
It is 1.2 meters wide, and the lower level has been specially heightened.
With Liu Qianqian's current height, she won't bump her head even if she stands up straight.
This is the price of growing up.
Even though the whole family tacitly agrees that they are a couple in the future.
However, the necessary distinctions between men and women should still be maintained.
Liu Xiaoli's parenting style is quite effective.
She has started to gradually tell her daughter about things that girls should pay attention to.
The social atmosphere at that time was still quite conservative.
In a few years, when they reach the upper grades of elementary school, they will have to sleep in separate rooms.
This matter had been weighing on Liu Xiaoli's mind.
This was one of the reasons why she made up her mind to go to Beijing.
When she went to perform in Beijing, she made a point of visiting the house that Chen Jinfei had given to the children several times.
The large, single-level apartment of over 200 square meters was enough for her to redesign and create several separate rooms.
She has already made arrangements for the renovation.
However, some things remain unchanged.
For example, the dependence that has been established since childhood.
