Chapter 82 The Origin of Conquest (Burst Update Mode Activated 19)
Chen Lang walked to his bookshelf.
It was a huge bookcase that reached the ceiling, densely packed with all kinds of books.
From fairy tales to world classics.
From historical biographies to martial arts novels.
There was also a whole row of romance novels with brightly colored covers.
He took a few books off the bookshelf and placed them on the desk.
Plum blossom brand.
Ghost husband.
Between water and clouds.
Princess Crescent Moon.
Smoke shrouds the towering buildings.
They were all novels by Qiong Yao.
"Uncle, look at these."
He pointed to the books and began his performance.
"The inspiration for this song comes from these books."
He opened the book, "The Ghost Husband."
"Look here, the male lead's face is burned. He feels like a ghost and is afraid to see the female lead."
"Although his appearance was ruined, he still loved the female lead in his heart."
He then opened the plum blossom mark.
"And here, those two were fearless in their desire to be together, and in the end, they died together."
"The book says this is called 'a vow to die for each other.'"
He picked up the book "Princess Crescent Moon" again.
"And this, the love between the general and the princess is like a war."
"One conquers, the other is conquered."
"So I wanted to write this feeling into a song."
He pointed to the lyrics of "Conquer".
"Look at this line, 'Set fire to the gift you gave me,' it was inspired by the ghost husband."
"And this line, 'Just like that, I was conquered by you, all escape routes were cut off,' isn't that exactly what 'Smoke-Shrouded Tower' is like?"
"And this, drinking the poison you hid, didn't Plum Blossom Brand and the others die together in the end? I think that was because they drank the poison of love."
Chen Lang recounted the plot points he had read in the book, and the emotional expressions that he found impactful.
"So I thought, could I write all the feelings I got from these books into a song?"
"To use 'conquest' to describe a very strong emotion, and to use 'drinking poison' to express the determination to be fearless for love."
""
"I think this way of writing is very—very literary."
In the end, he used a word that he thought was very sophisticated.
Yao Feng and Yao Beina were stunned after hearing his explanation.
They looked at each other, both seeing a deep shock in each other's eyes.
An 9-year-old child.
By reading these romance novels, I actually came up with my own literary theory about love.
These theories can also be distilled into lyrics that are logically consistent and emotionally rich.
this----
Is it possible to understand it that way?
Genius is a world unto itself; mortals simply cannot comprehend it.
Yao Feng felt as if he had been taught a lesson by his nephew.
This professional composition professor was actually less adept at expressing and refining emotions than a child who had read a few romance novels.
A feeling of being washed ashore by the next generation arises spontaneously.
Standing to the side, Liu Xiaoli listened to her son's profound remarks, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Everyone says her son is a genius.
But only she knows how much hard work and diligence lay behind this genius.
For the past two years, my two children haven't gone to kindergarten and have stayed at home.
Liu Yifei also occasionally watches TV and cartoons.
But Chen Lang, whenever he had free time, would pick up a book and read.
The large bookcase in his room was filled up little by little over the past two years.
From fairy tales to world classics.
From historical biographies to martial arts novels.
He even dug out and read through the Qiong Yao and Xi Juan novels she had read when she was young.
Other people's children are still playing in the sand and playing marbles outside.
Her two children, however, were homeschooled, practicing dance, martial arts, music, and reading.
There's almost no time for leisure.
Therefore, she is not at all surprised by what kind of songs Chen Lang can write now.
He built all of that up little by little on his own.
Yao Feng picked up the sheet music for "Conquer" and looked at it again.
Putting the lyrics aside.
The melody of this song is really well written.
It is grand, magnificent, and full of tension.
The melody builds layer by layer, and the emotions rise steadily.
The high notes, conveying the unwavering determination to love even at the cost of one's life, perfectly showcase a singer's vocal skills.
If this song were sung by Bella —
It's indeed a bit inappropriate, but it would be such a waste not to sing this song.
Should the child's mother sing?
Even worse, at her age, why would she sing such sad love songs? It would only make her feel miserable.
Anyway—a singer should try different styles. Such an excellent song, why should it be given to someone else?
After figuring it out, Yao Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He could almost see his daughter standing on a bigger stage, singing this song and conquering all the listeners.
"Langlang, how do you plan to arrange the music for this song?"
Chen Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but felt somewhat exhausted.
Explaining the origin of a song is much more difficult than copying it down.
It took a lot of his brainpower.
It's only a little troublesome the first time; it gets easier after that.
"Uncle, I want to make a rock version."
"Use piano and strings to create a tragic atmosphere."
"Then, in the chorus, add strong drum beats and distorted electric guitar."
"This creates a huge contrast and impact."
"That's the feeling I'm going for—the feeling of screaming in despair."
Chen Lang briefly explained his thoughts.
This arrangement approach basically follows the logic of the original version.
Yao Feng's eyes grew brighter and brighter after hearing this.
"good!"
"That's a great idea!"
"We'll do as you say!"
He patted Chen Lang on the shoulder, his face full of excitement.
"Let's go, let's go to the music room!"
"Let's make it now!"
Chen Lang grabbed his uncle's arm.
"Uncle, don't rush to do the arrangement."
Yao Feng was in the midst of excitement when he was pulled like this, and he was a little puzzled.
"Why aren't you in a hurry?"
"Such a great song, such a great arrangement idea, we should finish it while the inspiration is still fresh!"
Chen Lang turned around and walked back to his desk, taking out his leather-bound notebook from the drawer.
"Uncle, the song 'Conquer' is finished, but I don't know if it's suitable for Sister Bella to sing it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Beina nodded repeatedly in affirmation.
"It's suitable, of course it's suitable. I've sung quite a few songs like this."
"I've been practicing Na Ying's song 'Daytime Doesn't Understand Night' these past few days, I think the style is similar."
Since things have come to this point, and she wants to sing, then let her sing.
Chen Lang stopped worrying about it.
"Okay, then you can sing them all. I've written a lot of songs of this type."
Chen Lang pointed to a page in the notebook.
The title of that page read "Conquer," followed by the complete lyrics and music.
He turned a few more pages.
Each page has a song title.
It was all a dream.
wake up.
sell.
"These three songs, along with Conquer, are all of the same type."
"These are all fragments of inspiration I wrote down after reading those books, which I gradually organized later."
