Head Start With Family Business Chapter 6

If you write a song yourself and release it, the people who listen to it and the people who say it actually have no idea about it.

Logan knew that Aiden had learned music since elementary school and could play piano and violin, but the child was only seventeen and had never played pop music before. Could he really write a decent song?

What Aiden was worried about was actually similar to what Logan was worried about, but the good thing was that he knew that his soul age was more than seventeen, and he had studied composition seriously in college.

It's just that he has been abroad all the time. Although he has listened to a lot of Chinese songs, he mostly just entertains himself. When he creates songs, his style is basically European and American, and he has never written any Chinese lyrics.

After making such a big talk, Aiden sat in front of the piano, staring at the blank music score for several hours.

I have no idea at all.

To create something like this, you need the right time, right place, and right people. If you insist on doing it, it's really...

Aiden fell on the piano and pressed a row of keys with a ding-dong sound.

Then he stood up and took the guitar hanging on the wall, muttering, "It would be more suitable to write pop songs with a guitar..."

Facts have proved that no matter whether it matches or not, when you have no inspiration, you still can’t write a song even if you bring out the ancestor of the guitar.

Aiden even had the urge to make some changes to the songs he had written before and submit them.

But he still had some rationality. Logan did his best to raise him, and he told his family that he would definitely become famous. His father also arranged so much for him.

Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't really get away with it.

But the more he thought about it, the more pressure Aiden felt, and his mind became even more empty and messy.

Looking at the musical instruments in the music room that were also messed up by him, Aiden raised his hand and rubbed his hair in an unpresentable manner, then turned and walked out.

Wandering aimlessly in the villa, Aiden calmed down a little.

Creation often requires a flash of inspiration. Now that there is no inspiration, would it be better to have a theme?

Aiden thought about it, the themes of the most popular Chinese songs recently seemed to be about love...

Aiden, who has never been in a relationship: ...

Aiden took a deep breath and told himself that he didn't have to have any love experience to write love songs!

There are so many miserable songs, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the creators were really dumped, become the third party, or are the spare tires!

But he thought again, it seems that many classic works were created when the creators felt the same way.

Aiden: ...

There are still more than three months until the music festival. Is he going to experience falling in love, being dumped, being cheated on, and being a spare tire in these three months?

The more he thought about it, the less reliable it seemed. Aiden turned around and went online.

He wanted to see how other people created their works, since he might as well give it a try.

After looking through the creation history of several popular songs, Aiden fell silent.

In the first song, the singer wrote it in tears as she recalled her lover who died of cancer.

The second song was written after he broke up with his lover of many years and became drunk.

The third song, betrayed by the husband I love deeply...

Aiden closed the webpage with trembling hands. If he hadn't checked, he wouldn't have known that these teachers' love lives were so miserable? !

Aiden felt that he might...really be unable to write any good love songs.

For a moment, he was filled with guilt towards his father, Logan and his family.

If I had known I would have had a girlfriend when I was in college, I could have at least written some sweet love songs...

But then he remembered that he died in a car accident right after graduating from college, and he wasn't even sure who did it. Fortunately, he didn't have a relationship, otherwise, he would be so sad...

Aiden thought about a lot of things, but he just couldn't come up with any inspiration for composing.

Later, when I was browsing the web, I suddenly saw the background creation of a song. The singer was very moved by a movie he watched, so he got the inspiration.

Aiden was immediately shocked. This is possible!

Aiden immediately ran to the audio-visual room, ready to find some movies to watch.

The audio-visual room is very large and is fully equipped like a professional private cinema.

Aiden looked at the shelf in front of the DVDs and found that they were all categorized according to the types of films. There were even copies of some films that had not yet been released.

Aiden had never seen these films. He had heard of some of them, but had never even heard of the names of some of them.

It was just that the copies had the expected release dates written on them, and Aiden then realized that these discs with different packaging were movies that had not yet been released.

Aiden turned his gaze to the romantic movie section and picked up a book from it, but he was not prepared to see Rong Jin's name in the list of actors on the cover.

Aiden felt his fingertips burning instantly, and there seemed to be a slight itch on his back from when Rong Jin signed his name with a pen.

The shirt signed with Rong Jin's name had been put away by him.

Aiden moved uncomfortably, and then he realized that he seemed to have never seen Rong Jin's movies.

He used his mobile phone to look up Rong Jin's information, and then found all the movies that Rong Jin had acted in according to the performance records on it.

Rong Jin started acting in movies at the age of sixteen. Over the past decade, he has acted in quite a few movies. Even though he has reduced his production in recent years, the pile of movies in front of him is still quite high.

The types are quite diverse, including modern, ancient, romantic, and martial arts.

Aiden decided to watch it from the beginning, and then he saw on the cover of the movie that sixteen-year-old Rong Jin was standing among several boys and girls of similar age. He tilted his head slightly and looked at a girl in a white dress, but the girl didn't look at him, but smiled brightly at the camera.

The movie is called "Endless Summer".

Aiden stuffed the DVD into the projector.

Two hours later, Aiden came out of the audio-visual room with red eyes, feeling extremely upset.

What! What kind of vision does that girl have! Xia Fan likes her so much, how can she like a little gangster!

Aiden felt even more upset when he thought of Rong Jin, who played Xia Fan, at the end of the movie and the look in his eyes when he saw the girl go away.

Aiden couldn't describe that look in words. It contained a deep reluctance, like the light of water, but upon closer inspection it seemed as if there was no light.

Finally, Xia Fan whispered, "Goodbye."

But that girl will never come back.

When Aiden saw the movie subtitles rolling up, his whole mentality exploded.

But because of this, a melody flashed through my mind, which had always been a mess and without inspiration.

Aiden endured the discomfort and returned to the music room and began to write and draw on the musical notation.

About a week later, Logan received the song from Aiden.

Logan was shocked, firstly because of Aiden's writing speed, and secondly because of his red and swollen eyes: "What happened?!"

Aiden himself was actually very embarrassed: "Just...writing songs..."

He stayed at home for a week and watched movies starring Rong Jin, but he didn't actually watch many of them. He only watched three of Rong Jin's early movies.

Maybe it was because Rong Jin was young at the time, and they were both experiencing the pain of young love, but he went from being a supporting actor to the leading actor in his second movie.

But I don’t know if this style of movie was popular at that time, or if Rong Jin’s taste in movies was like this at that time.

Aiden watched three movies, watching Rong Jin's secret crush on the spare tire, then being dumped by the heroine, and then being cheated on by the heroine three times...

Aiden didn't know what the director was thinking. Just by looking at his face, he felt that this kind of thing couldn't happen to Rong Jin!

Every time Aiden read the movie introduction, he felt that the director's casting was too unscientific, but once the movie started, Aiden felt particularly involved.

After thinking about it, Aiden could only attribute everything to the fact that Rong Jin's acting skills were really good.

He used his acting skills to make the whole story make sense.

Those changes, everything caused by personality and environment, became real under his interpretation.

When Aiden thought about it now, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Logan was a bit amused. He wrote such an emotional song? He even cried? Maybe he couldn't write and was crying?

Thinking of this, Logan asked a few more words of concern and then lowered his head to watch the music.

Aiden asked, "I recorded a demo, do you want to listen to it?"

Of course Logan had to listen. Although he had strong professional qualities, reading the music score was definitely not as good as listening to the music directly.

Aiden was a little embarrassed and said to Logan: "I have never written Chinese lyrics before. Please listen to the melody first and I will think about the lyrics later..."

When Aiden was writing the music, he was so emotionally stimulated that it came down to him very quickly.

But lyrics are really hard to come by. Aiden finally experienced the feeling of doing anything to rhyme.

In this way, I composed five songs in total, but only wrote the lyrics for one of them.

Logan didn't really take it seriously at first. Although he had expectations, Aiden was still old after all, and not everyone who studied music could sing a stunning song.

But after the melody came out, Logan knew that he had really made a mistake.

While Aiden was humming along with the melody, he also marked the parts of the song that could be changed, trying to see if he could come up with any better ideas.

After the song was over, Aiden came back to his senses and looked at Logan. He was startled when he met Logan's burning gaze.

Aiden was a little unsure and asked in a low voice: "...Is it... okay?"

He himself felt that it sounded okay, so why did Logan have this expression?
