I'm An Olympic Superstar Chapter 51

When Jay Chou heard that Xiao Ran had other original songs, he was immediately interested .

“Oh? Sing it then . ”

It was another all-nighter and when fat chick saw Xiao Ran’s dark eye circles, she couldn’t bear it anymore .

After Jay Chou spoke, she persuaded with a soft voice, “We have already played through the night . Let Xiao Ran rest for a moment to regain his energy . ”

Jay Chou was an impatient person and he really wanted to listen to Xiao Ran’s original song and see if it was as stunning as the previous song .

But he too knew that if a person wasn’t in a great state, the singing ability would be greatly affected . Hence, Jay Chou asked, “Are you able to do it now? If not have a rest first?”

After many weeks of interactions, Xiao Ran was already very familiar with everyone and had a rather good relations.h.i.+p . Thus, he spoke bluntly, “I knew Sister Fat is the best . Unlike someone who is desperately trying to extract everything from us workers . ”

Jay Chou responded with an ‘mhm’ before waving his hand, “Forget it, forget it, let’s just rest first . But if you aren’t able to sing well after the rest, I will immediately eliminate you . ”

Xiao Ran acted pitifully and said, “Then it is fine . I won’t rest and shall sing for our Director Chou first . ”

When fat chick heard what Xiao Ran said, she stood up and said, “I will bring you a coffee to help you freshen up . ”

Jay Chou leaned the chair and put on leg over the other and gestured with two fingers, “Two cups . ”

When fat chick stood up to make coffee, Xiao Ran cleared his throat and allowed his mind to play the arrangement of that song before he suddenly sang without hesitation…

…

A crowd of bloodthirsty ants is drawn by rotten flesh .

I am staring at the lonely scenery with an expressionless face

Losing you, love and hatred started to seem clearer .

Losing you, there is nothing left to care about .

When the dove doesn’t symbolize peace anymore .

I have finally realized it when a bald eagle was feeding on the plaza .

I am using lovely rhymes to describe a stolen love .

…

After singing the first part of the song, Jay Chou’s eyes turned extremely fanatical . He couldn’t help but sit straight to listen to Xiao Ran’s song seriously .

I am playing Chopin’s Nocturne for you .

To commemorate my dead love .

Just like the sound of the night’s wind .

It is as pleasant as the sound of my shattering heart .

My fingers are tapping gently on the keys .

I give out my thoughts carefully .

In the place where you are buried, that is called the netherworld .

…

Without any accompanying music, Xiao Ran’s sorrowful, cla.s.sical R&B rap had shocked everyone in the house .

Jay Chou was also stunned!

This cla.s.sical R&B rap song was simply amazing!

Also, Xiao Ran’s R&B singing standard had excited Jay Chou again .

People with musical incline would think that R&B was a very casual style but it was actually a very difficult music style .

If a person sang such songs with too much modal voice, it wouldn’t cause people to imagine . If it was sung with too much falsetto, it would feel very light and wouldn’t have realism .

Xiao Ran was able to switch from the R&B rap at the beginning and the cla.s.sical singing at the back naturally . It made the song very enriching and had a layering effect . It didn’t feel like the song was violating something and each statement was true to the heart .

This was simply an elite R&B artist’s standard!

Jay Chou couldn’t help but size up Xiao Ran carefully .

A singer without fundamentals would never be able to sing such great R&B songs!

Furthermore, a player who didn’t spend long hours playing LoL wouldn’t possibly play so well either .

How did you achieve it?

Where did he obtain so much time to actually be so proficient in both singing and LoL?

Finally, Jay Chou had to give a verdict .

This Xiao Ran… wasn’t just extremely talented in LoL, he was also an exceptional music prodigy!

Jay Chou was subdued by Xiao Ran’s music again .

Jay Chou looked at Xiao Ran with eyes that were extremely gentle .

But those eyes were rather frightening to Xiao Ran .

This isn’t right . In the original world, Director Chou was already married and had a daughter .

But what did his eyes mean now?

Could the parallel world’s Jay Chou be a… gay?

Jay Chou didn’t have time to bother what was Xiao Ran thinking as he was completely immersed in the song .

“What is the name of this song?” Jay Chou’s voice was trembling a little .

“Nocturne . ”

“Nocturne…” Jay Chou lowered his head and muttered softly, “Nocturne… Mm, great, great name!”

Immediately after, Jay Chou asked impatiently, “Quickly, write down the lyrics and the arrangement of this song . ”

This was a little awkward .

Xiao Ran scratched his head embarra.s.sedly and said, “I am not a professional and I don’t know how to write what arrangement . I can only write down the lyrics at most . ”

Jay Chou was stunned, “How did you compose the song without knowing how to write the arrangement?”

“It is just my inspiration . I casually hummed it out . ”

Jay Chou didn’t want to talk to Xiao Ran anymore was it was too much of a blow!

“Alright . Write down the lyrics for me first, then sing it for me again later . I will record it and compose the arrangement . ”

“Arrangement?” Xiao Ran didn’t understand, “Didn’t I already sing it? Is this considered an arrangement?

Jay Chou helplessly touched his forehead and explained to Xiao Ran, “Your song is at most a demo with lyrics and melody . ”

“Demo?”

“A demo is to put the lyrics and melody together . The objective is to listen to the beat, the pitch of the sound, the interlude, emotions, etc . ”

Xiao Ran nodded and understood a little now, “What about the arrangement you mentioned? What is that?”

“Music arrangers will settle the problem of the instruments . It is for the arranger to decide what kind of music instruments to use and perform this song . Every music instrument would have its own usage and serve as a sound . There are composers that can compose arrangements but there are some that can only write the melody and are unable to compose arrangements for bands . ”

“The arranger would also need to provide sheet music for the musicians, just like how every musical instrument would have a different copy of the sheet . The strings will need the lead sheet and the sub sheet; the rhythm guitar will need the chord chart; the cadenza will need the tablature, sometimes the chord chart and the style annotation, while the other guitar players will improvise . ”

“After the tablature, there are also the copies as a band could have dozens of people . In principle, every musician and every instrument would have their respective sheets for them to use during the performance . ”

Xiao Ran was confused after all the listening and quickly sook his hand, “Alright, alright, it is too complicated and I don’t understand . In any case, I don’t need to bother about so many things, Boss can just do as you please .

Jay Chou was a little bewildered and asked, “What about your previous《In the Name of Father》? Who composed your arrangement?”

“Oh, that song? After I recorded the song, I ask someone to do it for me . I spent $5000 on that!”

“…”

Jay Chou was speechless . He rubbed his temples and asked, “Have you sold the copyright for that song?”

“Nope, I don’t know where to sell and how much to sell it for too . ” Xiao Ran was moved .

Selling of copyright?

From the looks of Jay Chou’s eyes, it seems like I am going to get rich!!!

“Haha!!” Jay Chou was thinking this was great . He leaned over and spoke softly, “Xiao Ran, come here, come here . I have something to discuss with you . ”

Xiao Ran leaned over too, “Okay, okay, what are we discussing?”

When fat chick brought over two cups of coffee and looked at Jay Chou’s behavior, she shook her head and sighed while silently praying for Xiao Ran .

She had been working together with Jay Chou for a very long time and knew him too well . Once Jay Chou revealed this expression, he was probably going to take advantage of something .

Immediately after, fat chick looked at Xiao Ran with an apologetic face…

Eh?

This isn’t right!

Why does Xiao Ran look more like he is plotting a trap to take advantage of someone else?
