Chapter 49 My Top Producer Husband
Chapter 49 My Top Producer Husband
The moment Lu Ran opened her mouth, the lyrics struck a chord with everyone.
The catchy melody evokes the feeling of a breeze blowing through rice paddies on a summer evening.
At that moment, the live stream chat stopped, as if everyone was completely absorbed in Lu Ran's song.
Lu Ran didn't pause; the melody from her fingertips became even lighter and more lively, and the chorus flowed out naturally:
"Do you remember you saying home is the only castle?"
As the rice-scented river continues its journey
I know the dreams I had as a child.
Don't cry, let the fireflies carry you away.
Country folk songs are an eternal reliance
Let's go home and return to the beauty of the beginning.
The chorus is full of imagery: childhood memories, the scent of rice paddies in the countryside, fireflies, rivers...
All the elements about summer, hometown, and healing are perfectly blended together, and the melody is so catchy that you can hum along after just one listen.
Not only the viewers in the live broadcast room, but also the host, reporters, music critics, and even Liu Siqi herself were captivated by the music, with many of them even getting teary-eyed.
After finishing a section of the song, Lu Ran's fingers fell on the piano keys for the last note. He turned to look at the stunned host and Liu Siqi, as well as reporter Zhou Tao on the other side of the screen, whose image seemed to be frozen.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "This is just an impromptu demo, I'm afraid it'll be embarrassing! Let's call it 'Rice Fragrance'."
After a few seconds of silence, the live stream room erupted with a barrage of comments and gifts.
"It's so beautiful. After listening to this song, I feel a little homesick."
"I want to go home. I haven't had my mom's cooking in so long."
"How can there be such a beautiful song? It's truly a masterpiece."
"Rice Fragrance! This song is so beautiful, I'm going to copy it into my songbook."
"Where's Kuroko? Come out and talk to me!"
"Let's see who dares to question my Lu Ran brother now!"
The host, Lin Yue, finally regained her composure, mainly because when she heard the song, she was reminded of her parents.
She came to the big city alone to make a living, but after all these years, the home where her parents are still the warmest place is still the one.
She wasn't the only one who shared the same thoughts; Liu Siqi was also moved to tears after hearing the song.
Although she is from a wealthy family, she grew up with her grandmother, who supported her musical dreams from a young age.
Even now that she's grown up, she still misses her grandmother's house from her childhood the most.
After adjusting her state, Lin Yue excitedly exclaimed, "I am so glad that Teacher Lu Ran brought us such a wonderful original song. I did not expect that Teacher Lu Ran not only has a high level of creative ability, but also sings so well. He and Liu Tianhou are truly a match made in heaven."
But Lin Yue's words made Liu Siqi blush.
Lin Yue, oblivious to Liu Siqi's unusual behavior, continued, "Teacher Lu Ran, is it really possible that you composed such a high-quality song in just a few minutes?"
Lu Ran: I don't produce songs, I'm just a song transporter. Why is it that there are so many great songs and excellent producers on Earth, but not in this world?
In fact, with Lu Ran's current abilities, he could easily compose an impromptu poem.
But I feel that it would be hard to create a song that is more in line with the times than "Rice Fragrance".
"My head was itchy just now, maybe because my brain is just growing," Lu Ran joked. "It's mainly because it's summer, and it reminded me of the happy days I spent running around in the countryside when I was a kid. Even though there were a lot of mosquitoes, it was still a very happy time, and that's how I came up with this idea."
Lu Ran sounded somewhat guilty, but the people around him were so engrossed in the beautiful music that they didn't notice anything unusual about him.
Looking at Lu Ran at this moment, Liu Siqi suddenly realized that Lu Ran was so charming and talented.
Liu Siqi's eyes held shock, admiration, and even a hint of affection.
The more outstanding a girl is like her, the more she will admire strength, and at this moment, Lu Ran is the invincible strongman on the road of music.
Liu Siqi took the microphone and said earnestly to the camera, "I think no one will doubt Teacher Lu Ran anymore. Even if Teacher Lu Ran sings 'Rice Fragrance' a cappella, I believe everyone can hear the quality, the completeness, and the emotion of this piece."
"I believe that my audience, music critics, journalists, and Mr. Zhou Tao on the other end of the phone can also feel this."
During the live broadcast, reporter Zhou Tao's expression shifted from initial skepticism to embarrassment, followed by barely concealed astonishment.
He cleared his throat, his tone becoming much more serious: "Professor Lu Ran, I apologize for my previous careless questioning. Your talent is undeniable. This impromptu piece, 'Rice Fragrance,' is proof enough. I look forward to your full version!"
"I'll be the first to support you when you release the full version of your new song!"
Well, after being proven wrong, I actually gained a little fanboy.
And so, the live interview ended with a climax that no one had anticipated.
Clips of Lu Ran's live performance of "Rice Fragrance" have also gone viral online.
The hashtags #LuRanImpromptuCreationOfRiceFragrance#, #LiveStreamSlapsDownDoubts#, and #ThisIsTrueTalent# have all trended on social media.
Many music critics have given it high praise.
"Putting aside all prejudices, Lu Ran's impromptu creative ability in 'Rice Fragrance' alone is top-notch."
"The melody is mature, and the lyrics are both vivid and profound. This kind of creation is a true testament to skill."
"From 'The World' to 'By the Lake Baikal' and 'Rice Fragrance,' and even the previous 'How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible,' Lu Ran has a variety of creative styles. It seems that the music scene is about to change."
"I wonder who is stronger, 'Tomorrow' or Lu Ran."
"Nonsense, of course it's Lu Ran. Tomorrow he's only written one song, while Lu Ran has already written four classic tracks."
As this public opinion fermented, Lu Ran's company's status also rose accordingly.
Now everyone knows that the company has a top-notch composer, arranger, and lyricist.
The previous whispers and gossip about "connections" vanished overnight.
The tech guru even came to the short drama department specifically to discuss data analysis and...music creation with him?
Of course, Lu Ran politely declined, citing that he wanted to "slack off."
In an instant, his slacking off and wasting time were interpreted by other employees as him searching for creative inspiration or the eccentricity of a genius.
It's true that when you achieve great success, great scholars will naturally come to debate with you.
Today was a pleasant day.
At this moment, Lu Ran genuinely felt that her colleagues were kind and spoke nicely.
After a pleasant day, Lu Ran left work and went home on time.
As soon as the door to the villa opened, Shen Yuege was sitting on the sofa.
Seeing that it was Lu Ran returning, Shen Yuege smiled slightly: "You're back? My top producer husband."
"tomorrow!"
