Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Mr. Yu, I would like to make two suggestions for the songs you create: first, the lyrics should promote positive energy, and second, the songs should be easy to sing and make people sing catchy. Of course, these are my personal opinions for you to use when creating. time reference.”

personal opinion?

Isn’t that the official opinion?

But Minister Zhang is also right. The lyrics must be positive. As for the music score, rock, folk, or jazz will not work. It is best to have a simple rhythm and a divine song with brainwashing function.

Yu Dongqing thought about it and immediately remembered a song.

So he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I recently wrote a song, which is more in line with your requirements. Let me sing a few lines and see if it works?"

"Okay." Minister Zhang suddenly became interested.

Yu Dongqing cleared her throat and hummed.

Let me look at you affectionately again

good morning my baby

You accompany me to welcome the brilliant dawn

Welcome a new dawn

It's you who give me infinite strength

Move forward bravely

"Good morning, Longhui"!

The song was a hit, but soon fell into plagiarism controversy. Some people on the Internet said that the melody sounded very familiar, and that it was suspected of plagiarism from "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Flowers and Boys" and "Please Bring My Song Back to Yours". Home" three songs.

But no matter what, this song has indeed become a very popular song, much like "Little Apple" in previous years.

Minister Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard it. This song is really catchy.

When you hear:

You are the most beautiful star in the night sky

Light up my way forward

You are the most beautiful encounter in my life

your happiness is the sun in my world

The lyrics are also good. Although they don’t mention the characteristics of hometown like other songs about hometown, the lyrics are indeed full of positive energy!

After Yu Dongqing finished singing, Minister Zhang asked eagerly.

"Mr. Yu, what's the name of this song?"

"Let's call it 'Good Morning, Huayin'." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"Okay, let's call it this name, simple yet eye-catching!" Minister Zhang immediately decided: "Mr. Yu, you are really a musical wizard."

"There, there"

The people next to me also praised one after another, and finally Minister Zhang decided to choose this song!

"I will report to Secretary Liu immediately after I get back. How about you singing this song?" Minister Zhang asked.

Mr. Yu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, you may hear that my voice is hoarse, but there is actually someone more suitable to sing this song."

"who?"

"My third uncle."

"Your third uncle?"

Before Yu Dongqing spoke, Party Secretary Yu Huaqing, who was sitting on a small stool, took over the conversation:

"That's Yu Hongguang. He is very good at singing old tunes. He also sang the theme song "Men Should Be Strong" in the TV series "Martial Arts Heroes" some time ago. He is Dongqing's third uncle."

"He, I know, is also a celebrity in our county." Minister Zhang said with a smile.

"My third uncle has a better voice than me, so I think it's more appropriate to sing this song. Besides, he is just an ordinary villager, so singing this song is more representative."

Director Zhang pondered for a moment: "Then let your third uncle sing, and you uncles and nephews will work together to get this thing done well, including arranging and recording. All funds will be paid by the county, Director Li."

As he spoke, Minister Zhang looked at the director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism next to him: "Your Bureau of Culture and Tourism will be responsible for this matter, and the town will fully cooperate!"

"Don't worry, Minister Zhang, we will definitely get this done."

The matter was done, and Minister Zhang was very satisfied. Seeing that the time was almost up, he was ready to say a few more common things and leave.

Seeing Minister Zhang amiably asking his parents about the family's income, last year's grain harvest, etc., Yu Dongqing winked at Yu Huaqing.

Yu Huaqing suddenly understood that he was talking about the third uncle's intangible inheritance.

Now that the leaders of the county and town are here, it’s a great opportunity!

It is more appropriate for Yu Dongqing to say this kind of thing himself. After all, he is the party secretary of Murakami, so Yu Huaqing took advantage of Minister Zhang's opportunity to drink tea after chatting about thirst, and said with a smile: "Minister Zhang, Director Liu, Secretary Wu, I I have something to report to the leaders.”

"Oh, tell me."

"It's about applying for an intangible genetic inheritor." Yu Huaqing briefly explained what he had discussed with Yu Dongqing.

"Cultural inheritor?" Minister Zhang was not very clear about the matter, but Director Li, who was in charge of cultural tourism, did and explained the relevant policies.

"Now that Laoqiang has applied for provincial heritage status, the cultural inheritors should also be dealt with! This is also a powerful measure to protect traditional art and increase the popularity of Huayin!"

"Director Li, you have to hurry up on this matter and see if Yu Hongguang complies with the relevant policies and conditions. If so, hurry up and submit the materials!"

"Okay, Minister Zhang." Director Li took out his notebook and wrote it down immediately.

After everything was done, Director Zhang left with a group of people. Before leaving, he told Yu Dongqing to make time to write and record the songs. All the funds incurred would be borne by the county. For specific questions, you can directly contact Director Li.

Yu Dongqing agreed.

After sending off the leader, Yu Dongqing and Yu Huaqing went to the third uncle's house to briefly talk about the matter. Yu Hongguang was naturally happy when he heard about the matter, and he immediately became excited when he heard that there was going to be a new song.

"Holly, when should I sing? Where should I sing?"

"Arranging and recording songs require special equipment, but our place does not have such conditions." Yu Dongqing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Xi'an. It's not far anyway."

"Okay, okay, let's go to Xi'an!"

But before going to Xi'an, I had to sing this song well. Yu Huaqing helped borrow a guitar from a college student who came back from the village to celebrate the New Year and gave it to Yu Dongqing. The uncle and nephew started singing it at the third uncle's house.

Much of the night, I heard Yu Hongguang's high-pitched voice and magical melody.

Let me look at you affectionately again

Good night my baby

You accompany me into sweet dreams

Release your beautiful mood

Occasionally, a few dogs barked in response.

The next morning, the uncle and nephew took their luggage and boarded the high-speed train to Xi'an.

Sitting on the high-speed train going west, Yu Hongguang looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and suddenly said with emotion: "Dongqing, these six months, I feel like I am dreaming."

"dream?"

"You see, I am just a farmer. I can shout a few old tunes, but I ended up going to Yanjing to have the central orchestra accompany me. Now, the county leaders ask me to sing songs from my hometown, and I will even appear on TV in the future. It’s something I couldn’t even imagine before.”

Yu Dongqing laughed after hearing this: "Third uncle, this is nothing. In the future, you and your old friends may go to Yanjing to sing again, and maybe you can even go to the Spring Festival Gala for people all over the country to listen."

"Going to the Spring Festival Gala?!" Yu Hongguang's eyes widened.

Yu Dongqing nodded affirmatively.

In the original time and space, Huayin Laoqiang did attend the Spring Festival Gala.

It takes less than an hour's drive from Huayin to Xi'an by high-speed train. Yu Dongqing and his third uncle got off from the North Station, took the subway and stayed at a hotel on Huancheng South Road, and then went to a nearby recording studio called DJ168. room.

This was contacted by Yu Dongqing online, and the price was agreed upon. The recording fee was 300 yuan per hour. However, Yu Dongqing also wanted to use their equipment to arrange the music, so the price was 400 yuan per hour.

The song "Good Morning, Long Hui" is relatively simple in terms of melody and arrangement, and it didn't take Yu Dongqing long to complete it. Yu Hongguang was no longer as nervous as he was when he entered the recording studio for the first time in Yanjing. He seemed calm and relaxed, and the recording ended in one afternoon.

We returned to the hotel and rested for a while. At about six o'clock in the evening, the two of them went out to find Lao Ma's mutton steamed buns. Each of them ate a large bowl of mutton steamed buns. Yu Dongqing knew that his third uncle liked to drink, so he ordered some for him. I bought a bottle of Xifeng wine worth two taels.

After dinner, the two of them started walking around in the street.

The lanterns are on.

It is still during the Chinese New Year, and the night view of the street is very beautiful, but Huancheng South Road is not a commercial district, so it is relatively deserted, and the weather is still cold. After walking around for a while, Yu Hongguang felt bored and wanted to go back.

It might as well be that the cat is watching TV in the hotel.

"Third uncle, don't worry, let's go to a place, it will be fun there." Yu Dongqing said.

"Where to go? Is it a karaoke bar? Or a disco?" Yu Hongguang asked curiously.

How did you get there?

Yu Dongqing could only say: "No, Wenchangmen is not far from here."
