There are rewards everywhere in life

Chapter 166 Writing Poetry and Lyrics!

When Ye Xiaotian was about to turn off the computer, the WeChat prompt box suddenly flickered, and Ye Xiaotian opened it smoothly, but he did not expect that it was a message from Wang Yumo.

Speaking of which, Ye Xiaotian and Wang Yumo met when Ye Xiaotian visited the capital last time, and the last contact was during the Chinese New Year.

From Ye Xiaotian's point of view, she will never have any contact with Wang Yumo in the future, she will just be a friend lying in her WeChat address book, maybe it will be deleted one day and I won't notice it, but I won't Thinking that Wang Yumo would still contact him.

"Are you there?"

Looking at the message from Wang Yumo, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

Isn't this an extra question?

If I wasn't there, wouldn't it be useless to ask?
"What's the matter?"

Ye Xiaotian responded directly and crisply.

Wang Yumo originally wanted to exchange polite greetings for a while, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to get straight to the point, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn't push back, looked at him from left to right, and replied, "Actually, it's like this.

I would like to ask you to do me a favor and write an ancient song lyrics for me. "

Seeing the message sent by Wang Yumo, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing suddenly, and teased, "Did you recognize the wrong person?

Ask me to write lyrics?
You are right? "

"That's right.

Ye Xiaotian, Hua Province Normal University, major in Chinese Language and Literature, Department of Chinese. "

Wang Yumo replied as a matter of course.

"Since you know me, you still ask me to write lyrics?
I am not a student of your Beijing Conservatory of Music, how can I write lyrics?
No kidding. "

Ye Xiaotian thought that Wang Yumo was just teasing himself in the dormitory, so he said with a smile.

"Who's kidding you?

I'm telling the truth.

It is the homework assigned by our teacher. "

Wang Yumo explained.

"Then you can ask your classmates in the lyric writing department for help."

Ye Xiaotian said it as a matter of course.

"Student, our college only has a composition department, how can there be a lyric department?"

Wang Yumo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"There is a composition department in the Beijing Conservatory of Music, but no lyricist department?"

Ye Xiaotian asked in surprise.

"Of course.

Lyrics are not the basic elements of music. The threshold of composition is much higher than that of lyrics, and the technical content of composition is also much higher than that of lyrics. Lyricists do not need to be educated at all. "

Wang Yumo explained.

Only then did Ye Xiaotian understand that the Conservatory of Music only had a composition department but not a lyric department.

"However, it's useless for you to find me, and I don't know how to compose lyrics."

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you from the Chinese department?
I heard that the Chinese department is very good, and they can write poetry, both new and old.

Usually when I meet a girl, I will chant poems.

Isn't it a piece of cake for you to write an ancient poem? "

Wang Yumo asked back.

Ye Xiaotian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

I don't know where Wang Yumo heard the rumors that boys in the Chinese department recite poems when they meet girls?

"Where did you hear that people in the Chinese department can recite poems when they meet girls?
Isn't this pure rumor?
Although the Chinese department can write poems, it's just for the fun of life adjustment. How could it be possible for a writer to chant poems when he meets a girl?
At most, I can write a love poem to my girlfriend. "

Ye Xiaotian explained.

"..."

Wang Yumo sent a series of speechless ellipses.

Interlaced like a mountain, did not expect to misunderstand.

"That may be because I misbelieved the rumors.

However, I can write poems by listening to what you mean, so help me write lyrics. "

Wang Yumo said.

"How can writing poetry be the same as writing lyrics?"

Ye Xiaotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"In the old style, it's about the same.

As long as it can rhyme, the words are classic, and people will be surprised when they see the lyrics. "

Wang Yumo was afraid that Ye Xiaotian would not agree, so he quickly lowered his request.

Ye Xiaotian did not expect that no one responded to the poems he submitted for his own entertainment, but Wang Yumo begged to come to him to write lyrics.

"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain.

In this way, I will give you 200 yuan hard money.

Although it is a little less than the five or six thousand paid by those lyricists, this is already the most money I can give.

Afterwards, I had to find a brother from the composition department to help arrange the music, and it would cost money to record after that.

However, don't worry, after the song is finished, I will put the song on Yuncun Music, and I will give one-tenth of the money I get, how about it?
I have covered songs in Yuncun Music, and I still have some fans. "

Seeing that Ye Xiaotian didn't respond for a long time, Wang Yumo added more words.

Ye Xiaotian didn't expect to earn a lot of money from writing lyrics. Of course, Ye Xiaotian is an amateur after all, not as good as a professional, but 200 yuan per song is not bad.

Although 200 yuan is not much, it is better than nothing, and it is not bad when it comes to earning extra money.

"Then what theme song do you want?

What time? "

Ye Xiaotian opened his mouth and asked.

"The theme, like love, is more popular recently.

In terms of time, half a month is okay? "

Seeing that Ye Xiaotian agreed, Wang Yumo quickly replied.

"Okay, I will send it to you when I finish writing it. However, I have agreed in advance that I cannot guarantee the quality."

Ye Xiaotian nodded.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you work in vain."

Wang Yumo joked with a smile.

She could tell that Ye Xiaotian agreed to help after she offered to pay.

Although Ye Xiaotian had written poems for his own amusement before, most of them were modern poems. Although he had read ancient poems, he was really at a loss as to where to start.

Because writing modern poetry does not require a lot of reading of the so-called "Book of Songs" and other classics, and it is not necessary to be familiar with and proficient in Chinese pinyin, and it is not necessary to study the format of metrical poetry.

Writing modern poetry does not require the above-mentioned confinement, so it is simpler, and it is more inclined to prose poetry, but it is much more difficult for ancient style poetry.

"Ding dong, it is detected that the host is interested in writing poems and lyrics, and reward the host with an introductory guide to writing poems and lyrics!"

At this time, the long-lost system voice sounded in Ye Xiaotian's mind.

Ye Xiaotian didn't expect the system rewards to appear at this time, so he clicked on the system rewards to start checking.

"The Beginner's Guide to Writing Poetry and Lyrics!
First of all, you need to have a general understanding of meter, rhyme and some basic knowledge, such as writing, genre...etc.

Secondly, a rhyme book, poetry talks, word talks, etc. are needed.

Furthermore, read the works of predecessors, try to figure out the writing, structure, word refinement, and accumulate vocabulary.

Finally, test the waters of creation..."

After Ye Xiaotian read the system's rewards, he realized that writing poems and lyrics is not as simple as he imagined.

I felt that the decision to agree to Wang Yumo was a bit hasty.

However, since he has agreed and the system has issued rewards, he can only bite the bullet and go on.

Fortunately, there is still nearly half a month, but you can try it.

If this path can be passed, it can make up for the loss of losing the part-time tutoring job.
