"I'm under a lot of pressure, okay?"

Sun Yanzi, who had just held his head high and was full of energy, suddenly became discouraged. He lowered his eyelids and whispered, "I will write a song that will be popular someday."

Of course, her tone when she said this was somewhat guilty, especially when she was standing next to the most buggy person in the history of Warner Records.

Her family knows her own affairs, and she is still a bit pushy about herself. None of the songs she has written so far has become a hit in terms of lyrics or composition——

In other words, not to mention it became popular, it didn’t even have a small-scale popularity.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Zhou Yi smiled and knocked on the door of Recording Studio No. 1. Manager He Jiong, who opened the door when he heard the noise, was immediately excited when he saw the Warner Concept God standing at the door, and hurriedly bent down to welcome the two of them in.

He Jiong, who was humming "Gardenia Blossoms" in the recording room to find the feeling, looked up and saw Zhou Yi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. With a surprise expression on his face, he immediately took off his headphones, opened the door to the recording studio and stepped in. Arriving at the rest area——

"Zhou Yi, you are back."

"I can't help it. There's been a lot of news abroad recently. If I don't come back, I'm afraid I'll drive Lao Qian crazy."

After happily greeting everyone at the scene and teasing his manager who just refused to remain neutral towards him, Zhou Yi asked: "How was the recording, Mr. He?"

"It's okay. It's just started. I haven't found the feeling yet. I'm still trying to record a version and see the effect first."

Speaking of recording the song, He Jiong expressed his admiration very naturally: "But to be honest, Zhou Yi, your song is really amazing."

The sincere eyes, surprised expression, words of praise, and thumbs up represent his highest praise for the song "Gardenia Blossoms".

He doesn't know much about music, but at least his ears can tell whether the melody is pleasant, whether it's good to sing, and whether it sounds good or not.

From his layman's point of view, the melody of "Gardenia Blossoms" is the song that he remembers the most after recording other songs in the album - the other songs were not very impressive after recording. Only "Gardenia Blossoms" can still play the melody in his mind from time to time.

He has said in private countless times that it deserves to be produced by Zhouyi, it is truly a masterpiece.

There are songs in Zhou Yi's own album that are not popular, but none of the songs written for others are good or popular.

The reason why He Jiong chose the track of folk songs was that it was easy to sing. As a result, Zhou Yi directly served him a surprise that could be called a Manchu-Han banquet. After listening to the simple demo of this song, the folk people around him felt the only emotion -

Lamented by Zhou Yi's "bad character".

The song "Gardenia Blooms" alone is enough to show that Zhou Yi himself has not actually lost interest in folk songs, but he really didn't want to include it in the album. I wrote a random song called "Gardenia Blossoms" and threw it to a layman like He Jiong...

Well, it seems even more annoying when I think about it.

"Why don't you give a demonstration? I'm quite curious about how you can sing the full version." After getting rid of the distracting thoughts that kept popping up in his mind, Sun Yanzi stuck his head out and raised his hand to express his opinion. He looked expectantly at the man who was communicating with He Jiong's album producer.

She was really looking forward to Zhou Yi singing this kind of campus ballad.

The videos of Zhou Yi singing campus ballads that can still be found on the Internet today are considered complimentary if they were shot with a door lock phone, but the quality of the images is blurry.

"That's okay, I have a lot of time now anyway."

Zhou Yi thought about it and didn't refuse.

For him now, recording the single demo of the song "Gardenia Blossoms" is really not difficult at all. To say that he can do it with ease may be considered difficult.

"Then wait a minute, I'll find a DV."

"Why are you looking for a DV?"

"Of course I filmed it."

Sun Yanzi, who was hunched over while rummaging through boxes and cabinets, turned to look at him, his eyebrows arched, and he smiled brightly: "I have never seen you singing this kind of song before."

She has seen the Lyrical Zhouyi, the Hip-Hop Zhouyi, the Rock Zhouyi, and the R\u0026B Zhouyi, but this is really the first time she has seen the Folk Song Zhouyi.

Shouldn't this be recorded and saved? "Probably the only clear-quality video of the folk song Zhou Yi singing in existence."

The picture quality of those door locks from the end of the last century is somewhat unsatisfactory.

"It seems to be true. Zhou Yiqian's ballad videos circulating on the Internet are too vague. I thought about referring to your state when recording the songs, but in the end I had no choice but to give up."

The Warner Twins have been famous since their debut. Although I don’t know what kind of state they are in, what He Jiong is best at is to support them - to support them fiercely.

Sun Yanzi was so flattered by the praise that she almost believed that she was doing it for the benefit of Zhouyi fans, holding a DV player and laughing, like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.

"I'm not going into the studio since I've already recorded the DV. Just give me the guitar."

Zhou Yi, who was not picky about the venue, waved his hand, waved to someone, and brought over a guitar——

The purest folk songs often require only the simplest singing method.

Under Sun Yanzi's expectant eyes, Zhou Yi, who rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, set up his guitar and played the simple melody of "Gardenia Blossoms"——

"Gardenia blossoms, so beautiful so white

“This is the season, we will leave~

“I can’t bear to leave you, shy girl

“Like a fragrance lingering in my heart~”

When singing, Zhou Yi no longer had the previous frivolity. He sat on a chair and focused on playing the guitar and singing softly. The DV camera faithfully recorded the scene. The slightly open collar of his shirt reflected the light of Guanyin Jade under the studio lights——

Because the string of wooden beads on his hand would slide down from time to time, Zhou Yi would raise his hand and shake his wrist to reset it after playing for a while. Repeatedly, but he never felt annoyed to take it off.

"Gardenias bloom, gardenias bloom

"Like crystal waves, blooming in my heart~"

Sun Yanzi noticed this and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Her feet in the air swayed gently with the rhythm, and the toes of her shoes poked the ground from time to time.

"Gardenias bloom, gardenias bloom

"It is a light youth, pure love~~"

The catchy and fresh melody and lyrics, the campus atmosphere, and Zhou Yi's reflection in her eyes. After listening to the chorus twice, Sun Yanzi even hummed the harmony. I don't know what she thought of in her mind, and a burst of creative desire occupied her mind--

Inexplicably, she thought of the fireworks that night, the rooftop where only the two of them were, and the mutual dislike of eating cake in the middle of the night.

And Zhou Yi's debauchery all the time.

"Zhou Yi, I have an inspiration!"

"Ah?"

"I'm going to write a lyric. Are you interested in working with me?"

"You?"

"Don't look down on me."

Sun Yanzi raised his head proudly: "I want to take away your first time in your career."

As we all know, Zhou Yi's album songwriter column has always only had his name.

If she can break this situation, it is reasonable to say that she took away the first time.

"So confident?"

"I think this song is amazing, although it hasn't been written yet."

After listening to the song, He Jiong suddenly felt that he seemed a little redundant - he shouldn't be here, he should be under the car.
