This star is too fierce

Chapter 136, Sign Xu Wei
The tall one wears sunglasses and a leather jacket. His cool name is Li Yanxi. He is a guitarist, singer, and music producer.

The short guy is modest, plainly dressed, and looks shy. His name is Xu Wei. He is a singer, musician, and songwriter.

After getting to know each other, we chatted without saying a word.

Lu Bu could tell that Ren Quan was not very familiar with them, he was probably a friend of a friend, and there must be something wrong with introducing them.

After talking for a while, Xu Wei and Li Yanxi got up and went to the bathroom.

Then Ren Wei explained: "How should I tell you, Xu Wei is a friend of a friend of mine."

Sure enough, Lu Bu guessed it right.

Ren Wei continued: "A person who loves music and focuses on music has paid a lot to pursue his music dream, but the result is a bit tragic. He came to Yanjing alone in 94. At that time, the boss asked him to negotiate a contract. He only proposed one Conditions, the company cannot interfere with his music creation, if it interferes, the contract will be abandoned.”

Hearing this, Yu Feihong looked at Lu Bu.

Yes.

This is very similar to Lu Bu, who doesn't like to be interfered with.

Ren Wei said: "Xu Wei released his first album in 97. After the album came out, the sales volume reached 50 copies. Soon after, he released two singles, one of which was selected into "Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Poetry". The music has become popular, but he is still poor, so poor that he has to earn a living, does not accept commercials, does not accept commercial performances, and lives in a rented house all day long, immersed in the world of music."

This dude is a bit...

Whether you are pursuing dreams or pursuing art, you must first live, and only by living can you pursue what you want to pursue.

Lu Bu didn't know how to evaluate it.

Ren Huang said again: "Last year, Xu Wei released his second album. The lyrics are as depressing and sad as ever. It was also this year that he suffered from severe depression and experienced the darkest moment in his life. This album The album was not as popular as expected. Under the pressure of life, he became more and more inferior. Every day, he lived like a year, and finally packed his bags and returned to his hometown in Xi'an. From last year to now, he just ran, ran, and he The negative emotions in my mind were emptied, so I plucked up the courage to go to Beijing for the second time."

Have you realized it yourself?

It's okay, not a dead end person.

Lu Bu interjected, "Did you encounter difficulties again when you came to Yanjing for the second time?"

Ren Can nodded and said, "He has written some songs and plans to make a third album, but he has problems eating, and he has already left the original company, so how can he have the money to record and release songs?"

Under normal circumstances, it is very expensive to produce an album, including renting a recording studio, hiring a band, buying lyrics, post-mixing, shooting MV, finding a scene, finding a director, finding a post-production, editing, finding a synthesis, etc. Both require a lot of money and manpower.

Lu Bu asked, "You want us to contribute money to help him?"

Ren Can nodded and said, "You can listen to the songs of his album later, and then make a decision."

After saying this, Xu Wei and Li Yanxi just came back.

Ren Wei said to Xu Wei: "Brother Xu, I have already told Abu and Sister Yu about your situation, why don't you sing some songs from the new album for them?"

Xu Wei nodded, he could only follow the arrangement if he wanted anything from others.

Moreover, when he entered Beijing this time, his mentality changed.

The first time he came, he wanted to be an artist. As for this time, he lowered his figure and felt that he was an ordinary person. He worked hard to live an ordinary person for survival and music.

Ren Can stood up and said, "I'll get two guitars."

Xu Wei and Li Yanxi didn't talk much, but when they got the guitar, there was a little smile on their faces.

No introduction, no curtain call.

Fingers plucked the strings and sang the first song directly.

"We can't help ourselves in the years of youth
Because of this burning dream in my chest..."

"This is my perfect life

It's also your perfect life..."

"I want to see you

that still bright smile
free yourself again

woo~
Also~"

Just now Ren Huang said that the lyrics of Xu Wei's first and second albums are both depressing and sad.

This song is no longer a decadent style, and the lyrics and music are sunny and warm.

Lu Bu heard the sense of healing in it, from darkness, sadness, despair and loneliness to sunshine, hope and joy.

After singing, Xu Wei glanced at Lu Bu and Yu Feihong, seeing their indifferent expressions, his heart skipped a beat.

Is it...

Facing failure again?

At this time, Li Yanxi supported his dark glasses, tilted his head to Xu Wei's ear, and whispered: "Use a big move."

Xu Wei nodded, that's all he could do.

then.

The second song begins.

"Nothing can stop

Your longing for freedom..."

Just started singing.

Lu Bu suddenly sat up straight.

At the same time, goosebumps appeared on his arms.

"The moment you bow your head
Only then did I discover the path under my feet..."

The lyrics don't have too many gorgeous rhetoric, and ordinary words can often reach the depths of the soul

The accompaniment of two guitars, the refreshing sound and volume, highlighted Xu Wei's voice full of vicissitudes.

Lu Bu looked at this unattractive singer and made some decisions in his mind.

"The free world in my heart

so clear

blooming and never dying
Blue Lotus..."

This song is indeed a big move, it was used by Xu Wei as the title song of his third album.

"It's so nice!" After the singing fell, Yu Feihong gave a comment and asked, "What's the name of this song?"

"Blue lotus." Xu Wei replied.

"Blue Lotus" is a kind of divine flower in the legend. According to legend, no matter how sick anyone is, as long as he has a breath, he can recover immediately and become alive and well. On the surface, it is a divine flower, but in fact it is like A pool of clear spring in the distance in the desert represents a kind of hope.

The inspiration for this song comes from two ancient celebrities, namely Li Shutong and Xuanzang. They have experienced countless ups and downs in their lives, and it is because they have always had hope in their hearts that they finally reached the peak of life.

Therefore, it is not only a tribute to Li Shutong and Xuanzang, but also combined with his own tragic situation, to pass on the seeds of hope to the audience.

"What do you think?" Ren Wei asked Lu Bu.

"A very nice song." Lu Bu replied.

"Then..." Ren Huang was about to ask him if he wanted to invest, but he interrupted him: "Mr. Xu, are you not signed with a company now?"

"No." Xu Wei said concisely.

Ren Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing what Lu Bu was going to do.

Sure enough, I only heard Lu Bu say: "I want to sign you into my studio. Of course, I will not interfere with your music creation, nor will I force you to shoot commercials or accept commercial performances. I will give you the highest degree of freedom."

Will there be such a studio these days?

Correct!
It is estimated that there is something tricky!
As a good friend, Li Yanxi asked, "After signing the contract, how much will you take from the money you earn?"

Lu Bu replied: "Everyone is treated equally, [-]% is drawn, [-]% is for the studio, and [-]% is for the agent."

Xu Wei and Li Yanxi petrified on the spot.

Let alone them, Ren Huang was also stunned.

you……

Are you sure you opened a studio, not a charity hall?
