"Mr. Lin Tian, after your guidance, I’ve revised three of the songs, could you take another look?"
"....."
Under the guidance of Anshi Qianxia’s fingers, Lin Tian flipped to three pages.
They were "Love on the Strings", "Voice of the Earth", and "Heavenly Waterfall".
These were the three songs that Lin Tian thought Anshi Qianxia had done quite well with at the ti.
Now, with Anshi Qianxia’s andnts, a lot of edits had been made; most importantly, based on Lin Tian’s advice, she had incorporated classical music lodies of the corresponding style for adaptation.
The adaptations were made from Lin Tian’s "One Step Away", "E-flat Major Nocturne", and "G Minor ’Pathétique’ Symphony".
Lin Tian couldn’t help but sigh:
"You have a good sense of song selection."
These were my most valuable pieces!
One was a tango masterpiece that went viral because of its MV, one was hailed as the pinnacle of contemporary nocturnes, and the other was suggested by Lin Tian, both of which were famous pieces for the two of them.
These three songs.
Among all the song royalties for "Moonlight and Cat", they rank in the top five.
It’s like all the most expensive songs were adapted into the score by Anshi Qianxia.
"No... It can’t?"
Hearing the doubt in Lin Tian’s voice, Anshi Qianxia shrunk back a bit, lacking confidence, and said,
"I... I just chose the songs that I really like... and thought were very suitable..."
"It’s not that it’s impossible."
It’s just that Lin Tian felt Anshi Qianxia might not be able to afford such high royalty fees.
Even if Lin Tian offered a friendship price, bundling the rights for the three songs together with a discount, the cost would probably be beyond what a small band mber like Anshi Qianxia could casually afford.
Any cheaper and it would practically be giving them away.
And naturally, there’s no such generous thing as that.
Lin Tian was already quite generous in taking the ti to give Anshi Qianxia so guidance.
Besides, if the song rights were sold cheaply, those who use them might not cherish them.
"It’s fine."
Lin Tian thought it over and encouraged Anshi Qianxia,
"With your talent, if you can arrange the songs properly, you might want to take them back to your agency, perhaps they can lend you a hand?"
Previously, Lin Tian learned that the Cosmic Flying Pig Band was quite independent, with Captain Kana making most decisions.
He wasn’t clear on how their agency operated or if they could afford it.
However, after Lin Tian’s words, it was clear that determination rose on Anshi Qianxia’s face.
"Hmm!"
"...."
Soon, Anshi Qianxia took her bass out from the bag.
"Mr. Lin Tian, let play you a sample first."
"Alright."
As the youth began to play the bass.
The deep and powerful sound resonated through the café.
"....."
This was the first ti Lin Tian listened to a bass solo.
The bass, also known as the "bass guitar", is a string instrunt that primarily plays the bass role in modern music.
Its range is usually one octave lower than a guitar, capable of producing a very deep, rich, and full tone. This bass adds depth and breadth to the music and is an indispensable part of a band.
For most people, identifying a bass is quite simple.
A guitar has six strings.
A bass has four strings.
Four strings and a mini version is a ukulele.
The style of the bass is flexible and can usually adapt to a variety of musical styles.
Therefore, in a band, the bass can often be used as the lead instrunt.
"..."
The piece Anshi Qianxia played was his own "Love on the Strings".
Of course, this song has lyrics.
"The lody of love gently swirls on the strings,
Two hearts snuggle tightly under the moonlight♫~
Your eyes shimr like morning stars,
Love at this mont never needs words♫~
....."
The song started right into the chorus.
Anshi Qianxia’s voice was very gentle, clear, and penetrating.
It was entirely the voice of a gentle lady, with a very healing quality.
Frankly, it was a bit embarrassing.
As the Dragon Rising Land of "Moonlight and Cat".
In this café that has never lacked music, it was the first ti an acoustic song was perford.
Anshi Qianxia played the bass while closing his eyes, singing sincerely and passionately.
Then,
The song reached the interlude—
"The chords softly resonate at fingertips,
Every mont is worth cherishing♫~
Even if the world becos less beautiful,
With you by my side, I’ll still smile♫~
....."
It was at this point.
The classic lody of "One Step Away" joined in.
The style of the bass turned lively.
Introducing the latter part of the chorus!
"The lody of love gently swirls on the strings,
Two hearts snuggle tightly under the moonlight♫~
...
Great!
Lin Tian sighed in his heart.
The adaptation was really well done!
His praise was not only recognition of Anshi Qianxia’s performance skills.
But also of his brilliant adaptation!
Truly a talent that Lin Tian values.
His adaptation wasn’t simply about wedging classical music lodies in.
Instead, he segnted the music, variated the most classic lodies in several ways, and perfectly blended them into the score.
And Lin Tian’s continued impressions were utterly delightful.
He didn’t expect that adding Chinese lyrics to "One Step Away" would create such a vibrant sensation!
This, too, is the charm of pop music!
Not everyone can appreciate classical music, but if it can be perfectly combined with pop music to create a brand new style, more people will be able to accept it.
