I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

After singing the song, Jingyi bowed to the judges, then left the backstage with her guitar on her back. Unexpectedly, Danny came up to her and greeted her.

"I know you! I didn't expect you to be so good at writing songs and singing. Fortunately, I ranked ahead of you, otherwise I would definitely give up and withdraw from the competition." Danny said shyly.

"Your English song is pretty good! It will definitely win a place this time." What could Jingyi say? She could only flatter him.

"I still can't write a song that satisfies me. I'm going to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for further studies next month, and I hope it will help me make further progress." Danny shook his head, indicating that he was not optimistic about his own work.

"Then have you ever thought that English songs are not your and my strong points. We can't write English songs as well as those foreigners. Have you ever thought about writing Mandarin or Cantonese songs?"

Jingyi wanted to give him some advice. Anyway, he would return to Cantonese songs in the future, so she just hoped that he would take fewer detours.

Perhaps the 19-year-old boy's emotional experience is still too shallow. Only when he has that unforgettable love in the future, those classic love songs will appear.

The two of them sat backstage and talked in low voices, waiting for the final result of the competition. When they talked about piano music, Danny's performance surprised Jingyi.

This handsome boy is really multi-talented! Earlier this year, he even won the Hong Kong Yamaha Electronic Piano Competition.

"I know all the people in the Wynners. I'll introduce them to you when I have time. I was in that band for a while!"

When the two talked about the current Hong Kong music scene, Danny introduced it with a bit of pride. After the two spent a short time together, he was no longer as shy as before.

The voting time for the audience of the commercial radio station has ended. After the staff on site counted the votes intensively, and the scores of the eight judges on site, Lou Jingyi won the championship with an absolute advantage.

But what was unexpected was that Danny only won the third place. The runner-up was won by a contestant behind Jingyi! Because the two were talking backstage, Jingyi didn't pay attention to what the contestant on the stage was singing.

Jingyi won a small trophy and a prize of HK$1,000. When all the contestants left the stage, Jingyi was stopped by the eight judges.

"Ms. Jingyi, does your song "Childhood" need to be ranked on our commercial radio station?"

The first person to speak was Huang, the music director of Commercial Radio. Jingyi was not very familiar with him!

Their commercial radio station has a music request station. Listeners can call in and request songs according to their own preferences. After counting the number of song requests at the end of the year, the commercial radio station will select the top ten hits and the most popular male and female singers every year.

"Thank you Director Huang! Does the song need to be re-recorded? I have another song, can we put it on the charts together?"

Jingyi was a little overjoyed! Being able to appear on the song request station of a commercial radio station would have a much larger audience than this competition. It was like announcing her debut!

Of course the song had to be re-recorded! Just a simple guitar wouldn't do. Jingyi took out two sheets of arranged music from her backpack and asked Director Huang to gather the band to practice first.

After making an appointment to go to the radio station for recording, Jingyi was about to go back, but was stopped by Bill the Bearded from Warner Records.

"Ms. Jingyi, are you interested in joining our Warner Records? I didn't expect that your singing voice is so charming. I have the power to sign an S-level contract with you." Bearded Bill began to seduce her.

"Since there is an S-level contract, there must be SS-level and SSS-level contracts, right?" Jingyi also teased him.

"That kind of contract is given to international superstars. I don't have that much power." Bill shrugged and joked with her.

"I'm releasing two songs just to test the waters. I'm still in college now, so this can only happen after I graduate." Jingyi smiled and found an excuse to politely decline his kindness.

Now she cannot join a record company no matter what. If she signs a contract, she will be an artist of the record company. The copyright of all her original song albums will belong to the record company.

Once she leaves this record company, she will not be able to sing any of her previous songs! Unless she buys back the copyright of her songs from her old company.

This problem still exists in the new century. Like Deng Ziqi in her previous life, the songs she wrote and sang were all over the place. But later on, she couldn't even sing them! If she sang them, it would be considered copyright infringement.

Singers-songwriters are the most vulnerable to this kind of problem. If they are singers singing other people's songs, it doesn't matter whether they sing them or not, since the songs are bought by the record company.

Also, those songwriters and composers who wrote a song with great difficulty, once it was bought by a record company, all copyrights had nothing to do with them. They only had the right to be named! This seriously restricted the development of the music industry.

She wants to be an independent music producer. But this is not an easy path! It requires a lot of connections and money in the music industry.

In her previous life, she only needed to release songs on music websites to become famous. But now...! The distribution rights of an album alone can hold her back.

If she takes her own songs to radio stations, there is no copyright issue. The copyright is still hers, but there is no income from radio stations. She just doesn't need to worry about income, and now she needs to improve her fame and status as a singer as soon as possible.

Soon, she spent two days in the recording studio of a commercial radio station to record the two songs. That night, the host of the radio station's "Music Express" program recommended them.

"Dear new and old listeners of the Music Express column, I would like to recommend two new songs, "Childhood" and "Walking on the Road of Life". Both songs were written and composed by Miss Lou Jingyi, who also sang them herself. Miss Lou Jingyi is our Hong Kong...!"

The host first introduced the program and then pressed the play button. A rhythmic guitar sound, accompanied by a drum prelude, was transmitted through the airwaves to the radios in every household.

“Although the road is long, I am not tired by your side. I will accompany you one section after another. When you climb over a peak, you will see another peak. Push your goal far, and let your ideal always be ahead.”

The clear and ethereal sound rang out, making the audience in front of the radio brighten their eyes. Is this a Cantonese song? A song that truly belongs to their language.

“Even if the road is rough, I am not afraid of the trials. I wish to experience both pain and happiness in my life. Happiness and sadness are spinning around me. I enjoy the snow in the wind and the flowers in the fog. Happiness is swirling around me.”

This is a positive and motivational song that encourages people to not be afraid of difficulties and to face their lives positively on the road of life.

The older audience members looked back on their lives and were filled with emotion, while the younger generation of audience members suddenly felt open-minded and full of hope for their future lives.

“Don’t worry about it, just enjoy the beauty around you every day. I hope you can be sure that the beautiful scenery is at your feet, and I hope that the laughter will cover the pain. Whether it is sad or happy, find new discoveries every day…”

Yes! No matter how rough life is, we should always face it with an optimistic spirit. This clean and clear voice sang into their hearts.

After the song was over, the audience was still not satisfied. Some did not even have time to listen to the next song, and they all switched to the music request station and called to request songs.

After listening to these two songs, some young listeners began to ask around whether Lou Jingyi had released an album with these two songs. Her ethereal voice is worth collecting.

Although Lou Jingyi's song album was not released, her piano music album began to be released and sold simultaneously all over the world.

Each of the eleven piano pieces in the album is a classic masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages and has caused a buying craze around the world.

In a cafe on Daumesnil Street in Paris, France, the music master Paul was looking at the passers-by outside the window while he was composing a piano melody in his mind.

Suddenly, he heard a sweet and cheerful piano sound, which was exactly the same as the melody he was thinking of in his mind.

He turned around in surprise and realized that it was the music played in this cafe. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the piano music. He could actually hear a hint of regret and sadness in the cheerful and sweet melody.

As a music master, he had never heard of this piano piece before. It should be a new piano piece by a master! This piano piece can already be ranked among the world's classics.

He waved to the waiter in the cafe and asked what the name of the piano piece was. When the waiter answered that it was "Wedding in a Dream", he suddenly realized.

Yes! In a dream, I hold a wedding with my beloved. I can imagine that it is a beautiful and incomparable wedding. But after all, it is a one-sided love, and no matter how much I imagine, it will never become a reality. Sweetness is accompanied by a hint of regret and sadness!

After he found out the name of the piano album, he quickly ran out of the cafe, found a nearby audio-visual store, and bought the piano album.

As soon as he returned home, he eagerly unpacked the album and began to listen carefully to this piano-only album.

After all the songs were played, he took a long time to recover from his shock. Each of the eleven piano songs was a classic that would be passed down through the ages.

He picked up the album cover and looked at the beautiful smile of the 16-year-old Asian girl. He sighed in his heart!

It seems like there’s another talented young girl on the horizon in the music industry.

But why is the melody I conceived in my mind so similar to the beginning of her song "Wedding in the Dream"?

Paul was completely puzzled! Perhaps great minds think alike? This was the only possible explanation.
