Chapter 100 The Ordinary Road
Ni Hui finally realized that the rumors about his son being a "love saint" were all based on rumors. In fact, he didn't understand anything about the relationship between men and women...
"I'm really curious about how you wrote those love poems..." Ni Hui cupped her chin. It was unreasonable for such a straight man to be able to write such affectionate sentences!
Pu Tong didn't want to discuss the topic of love between children with her.
He is not an emotional idiot, nor is he deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he knows what he should and shouldn't do.
Now, it's really inappropriate.
Maybe the world is very tolerant of this aspect, after all, so many people can blatantly eat CP from high school students...
But as an adult who had lived for more than twenty years in his previous life, he knew that the ignorant affection in adolescence was only temporary. It is absolutely irrational to make a hasty decision before they are sure about steering the ship of love.
One party can be irrational, but the other party must be rational.
These things are not what he should worry about at this stage. What he cares about now is writing a song for Du Guohang's interview.
He has already thought about this song, "The Ordinary Road", Pu Shu's 2014 work.
Pu Tong liked this song very much before and listened to it over and over again in the dead of night...
As the lyrics say, we have been disappointed, lost all direction, lost in the abyss of darkness, unable to hold on to any support, thinking that we have lost everything, no matter how painful it is, in the end, the road is still under our feet.
This song resonated with him before, and it fits well with Du Guohang's story now.
He used to have a beautiful life and a beautiful family, but one mistake completely destroyed everything...
Everything he owned disappeared in an instant, whether it was his job, his family, his reputation and even his freedom.
It is hard for Pu Tong to imagine such a change. After washing away all his troubles, he can accept everything calmly and can still live leisurely and confidently. He accepts his ordinary self and the ordinary answers.
It is very important that this song can touch many people and give many people strength... This is also consistent with the point of view that my mother wants to express in the report.
The greatest extraordinary thing in life is the ordinary.
"Why are you in a daze?" Ni Hui waved her hand in front of Pu Tong, interrupting his meditation.
"I'm...creating!"
What kind of creation, what song are you thinking of copying...
"Yo!" Although Ni Hui doesn't understand music, he still has basic appreciation skills. The songs his son has written in the past few times have been surprisingly good, so this time it should not be too bad.
"Then I have to listen to it!" Several of them had never seen Lu Ge before, and they all wanted to follow Pu Tong to learn more about it.
After all, this song is also one of their work tasks, so it's okay to watch the fun.
It was still early, and Pu Tong didn't want to waste time, so he asked Lao Ye to drive to the recording studio.
To be honest, this is the first time he has recorded a song by himself. Before, he used the environment to compose music, but this time he sang it by himself, and he had memorized the songs. Naturally, there was no need to look at the sheet music.
The last time he recorded a song was when he accompanied Yu Wanwan to the film and television company to record the theme song. That time he just waited outside and did not participate in the recording.
This time he has to go into battle on his own...
Lao Ye had never been to the area where the recording studio was located. The journey was naturally not as fast as Jiang Yun's car, and it was not as comfortable as other luxury cars.
But after all, there is a special car to pick up and drop off, Pu Tong is very satisfied. What more bikes do you want?
Not long after, several people arrived at the place, and they were all a little frightened by this overly grand place.
"My dear, this seems to be the property of the Yu family..." Ni Hui smacked her lips, "I beg you, please stop messing with that shabby company. Wouldn't it be nice to just marry into your wife?"
Bringing in a wife? It would be nice not to be destroyed by Yu Zhongheng. If it is true love, there may be room for it, but if it is for someone else's money, it will definitely hit the target.
Yu Wanwan had already contacted him in advance, and Pu Tong was taken into the recording studio as soon as he entered. The sound engineer inside had been waiting for a long time.
"Here we come, Teacher Pu." The recording engineer was a thin middle-aged man, and Pu Tong was a little scared when he called him "teacher".
"Just call me Pu Tong."
Although it seems reasonable for a songwriter like him who has already had several famous songs to be called a teacher by an ordinary recording engineer, it sounds too strange...
Ni Hui and others were waiting outside and could almost hear the sound.
Although they knew that Pu Tong was very creative, singing a song based on Du Guohang's story in just a few days still sounded a bit outrageous.
Pu Tong didn't waste any time picking up the guitar next to him and started practicing.
Since he came here, this is the first time he has recorded a song seriously, so he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
After warming his hands, Pu Tong signaled that he could start.
["Wandering on the road
Are you leaving via via
Fragile and proud
That was also what I looked like
boiling, restless
where are you going via via
mysteriously silent
Are you really listening to the story?"]
Both the sound engineer and the three people in the waiting area frowned when they heard it. Each sentence at the beginning of this song and between each sentence were all words that did not connect with each other, which sounded a bit nondescript...
There was also an inexplicable voice via which had no meaning, leaving them confused.
Pu Tong didn't pay attention to other people's expressions at all, his heart was immersed in this song.
"Tongtong, when can you appear on TV? Then I will take the children to watch!"
"Hurry, soon."
In the past, he said this every time he called the old director of the orphanage, but every time, he lied to that group of people and himself.
He doesn't want people who really want him to be doing well to know that he's been having a bad time...
He had no money, no family to support him, and he couldn't afford the liquidated damages, which were neither expensive nor cheap, so he could only waste his time.
No matter how crazy he practiced and improved himself crazily, he still didn't get a chance... because he was mediocre.
[“I have crossed mountains and seas and also passed through mountains and seas of people.
Everything I once owned was gone in the blink of an eye
I was once lost, disappointed and lost all direction
Until you see the ordinary is the only answer”]
When several people who were originally at a loss heard this sentence, they suddenly had an illusion. The young boy who was playing and singing might have experienced an ordinary and extraordinary life...
["When you are still fantasizing
your tomorrow via via
Will she be better or worse?
It's another day for me
I once ruined everything and just wanted to leave forever
I once fell into the boundless darkness and struggled to extricate myself
I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and flowers
Desperate, longing, crying, smiling and ordinary.”]
They seemed to suddenly understand the sentence "Are you really listening to the story?"
Anyone who has experienced it can see themselves in it. After hearing these words, they couldn't help but replay the past in their minds. They had also experienced troughs, loneliness, and despair, but they never gave up and kept working hard to live.
Du Guohang is like this, and many people are like this.
Probably, everyone is like this.
This song is never about a specific person, he is just writing the story of every ordinary person...
Ni Hui looked at Pu Tong with red eyes in the recording studio and raised the corners of her mouth in relief.
She doesn't care about the song, she just thinks that her son is great, very, very good...
[“I have crossed mountains and seas and also passed through mountains and seas of people.
I've asked all over the world and never got an answer
I'm just like you, like him, like the wild grass and wild flowers
This is the only way I have to go.
Time is speechless. Tomorrow is already in front of us.
The road blown by the wind is still far away. Where did your story end?"]
When a song ended completely, the absent-minded sound engineer came back to his senses and pressed stop.
"How is it?" Pu Tong smiled, feeling very comfortable all over.
When he sings this song after so long, his eyes will still turn red and tears will still fill his eyes.
"very perfect!"
The recording engineer brother didn't realize that his tone was a little hoarse. He now felt that it was his honor to record this song himself.
In fact, it is Pu Tong's honor to be able to sing such a song.
This song, created by Pu Shu's "ordinaryness", is an eternal classic in the music world.
The song doesn't have much profound meaning, and it doesn't have any gorgeous rhetoric, but these simple and plain lyrics express the voices of millions of people who once had dreams and then turned back to ordinary people.
We are all moving forward in confusion, and under our feet is the ordinary road that belongs to each of us.
The first subscription is going to be gone, and so are the additional updates, woo woo woo.
