Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Since you do it, you have to do the whole set.

Yu Dongqing returned to his office, turned on his computer and opened the "Fruit" software to start arranging music.

The prelude of this song has an obvious Persian style, and Yu Dongqing used it without hesitation.

After working hard all morning, he finished the dubbing and arrangement, handed the audio file to Guo Xinyu Dongqing and left it alone. He believed that the girl would sing with all her heart.

At lunch time, Yu Dongqing was ready to go home after eating. Several staff in the studio, including Luo Yun, basically ordered takeout at noon for convenience.

Yu Dongqing was also prepared to do this, but Zhang Bao said: "Teacher Yu, Sister Luo, can I treat everyone to lunch?"

"You? What's the good news?" Yu Dongqing asked jokingly.

"It's nothing. I haven't seen you, Teacher Yu, for a long time. I really miss you." Zhang Bao smiled honestly.

After suffering a setback due to his youthful frivolity at the end of last year, Zhang Bao has become much calmer now. In addition to learning music theory knowledge according to Yu Dongqing's requirements, Luo Yun also contacted him for some commercial performances, and singing Qinbei folk songs was very popular.

After all, the title of champion in "Starlight Sings" is still there.

Today Zhang Bao took the initiative to offer a treat, and Yu Dongqing did not refuse.

It’s not like eating a big meal doesn’t cost much.

Seeing that Yu Dongqing agreed, Zhang Bao immediately greeted other colleagues excitedly, and seven or eight people walked out of the writing road and went to a restaurant called Koufu Renjia near Jingyuan.

Everyone asked for a private room, ordered some dishes, and chatted while eating.

Wine is free.

Luo Yun stipulated that except for reception and entertainment, employees are not allowed to drink alcohol at noon during work, and Yu Dongqing agreed with both hands.

"Zhang Bao, how is your dad's health?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

Last summer, Yu Dongqing went to the home of Feng Pei, an old classmate in Qinbei, and met Zhang Bao's father. He was a lame man.

"The body is still fine, but his legs are like that and there is nothing he can do about it. I will send him 5,000 yuan back every month to prevent him from doing heavy work." Zhang Bao replied.

According to the contract originally signed, Zhang Bao's monthly salary was 5,000 yuan. Although the accommodation was provided by the studio, in Yanjing, a place where living is not easy, he could only make ends meet with this little money.

However, he has commercial performances, and 30% of the income goes to him, and he has recently opened a live broadcast room. On average, he can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is enough for his personal expenses.

Therefore, it is appropriate to send money back every month.

When the meal was almost finished, Zhang Bao plucked up the courage and said, "Teacher Yu, can you write a song for me? A pop song like Guo Xin's."

"Pop song?"

"Yeah" Zhang Bao nodded.

Yu Dongqing put down the soup bowl and looked at him.

At this time, Zhang Bao was wearing a white crew-neck shirt, khaki pants, and white low-top sneakers, giving him a perfect image of an urban fashionable young man.

Only commercial performances require you to wear Qinbei's ethnic costumes, otherwise you will forget that the fashionable young man in front of you comes from the Loess Plateau.

In fact, Yu Dongqing knew that Zhang Bao intentionally or unintentionally wanted to get rid of the label of Qinbei folk singer that was attached to him.

For example, today I proposed to sing a pop song.

But it's not an easy task.

In addition to people's inherent impression of him, another more important reason is Zhang Bao's unique voice. How many songs are suitable for him to sing?

And, is such a transformation appropriate?

It turns out that Abao in that time and space once sang a very beautiful ancient song "The Country and the City" with another singer Xiong Rulin.

But Yu Dongqing couldn't appreciate it.

It's not as good as the version sung by Jiuyue Miracle Group, huh?

But Zhang Bao brought it up today, and as his boss, he must seriously consider it.

How about letting him try Zhang Yusheng's songs?

Hope it doesn't ruin the classic.

Thinking of this, Yu Dongqing replied: "Okay, let's eat and go to the studio with me."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Bao was overjoyed and stood up quickly: "Teacher Yu, do you still want some soup? I'll scoop you another bowl."

"No need." Yu Dongqing smiled; "My stomach can't stand it anymore."

On the way back after everyone finished eating, Luo Yun couldn't help but ask him quietly: "Dongqing, what happened today? Are you bursting with inspiration?"

"It's nothing." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Because I won the chess game this morning, and I'm in a really good mood."

Ah?

Returning to the studio, Yu Dongqing went straight into the studio without taking a break and sat down at the piano.

This time he didn't hesitate too much.

In the original time and space, Abao once sang a cover of Zhang Yusheng's classic song "The Sea", and the effect was pretty good.

But Yu Dongqing doesn't plan to let Zhang Bao sing this song.

But another classic song "My Future Is Not a Dream".

This song was once selected into the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards" 30 Songs in 30 Years. It sings about the pursuit of dreams and unremitting efforts of the generation of young people born in the 1970s and 1980s. It is very inspirational.

However, this is not fashionable among young people nowadays. Everyone likes to lie down

hehe.

But Yu Dongqing decided to let him sing this song.

Of course, Zhang Bao didn't have the musical talent of Guo Xin. Yu Dongqing taught him patiently while singing. If his voice was hoarse, Zhang Bao could just be an octave higher than his.

Are you like me bowing your head in the sun?

Working silently and sweating

Are you like me, even if you suffer indifference?

Never give up on the life you want

I know my future is not a dream

I live every minute seriously

My future is not a dream

My heart moves with hope

Zhang Bao sang very seriously.

He loved the song, especially the lyrics.

He seemed to see himself, and his eyes were a little moist.

I braved the severe cold and heat to move bricks in the brick factory in my hometown.

I was confused and discouraged at that time.

It seems that it has been like this for a lifetime, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.

I like singing and hope to change my life through this.

If realized.

Thank you to the teacher in front of you.

I am even more grateful to Qin Bei, the teacher who did not give up on him.

Luo Yun stood at the door with her hands on her chest and listened quietly.

Usually when Yu Dongqing comes to the recording studio to sing, Luo Yun likes to stand at the door and listen.

It’s rare to see Yu Dongqing teach others to sing so patiently and meticulously.

Usually the lyrics and music are written, and at most they help compose the music, and then they just leave.

Today I will teach you sentence by sentence.

Luo Yun thought of Yu Dongqing's classmate named Feng Pei in Qinbei.

Maybe it was because of him that he treated Zhang Bao like this?

Also, the lyrics are really inspiring.

It seems that it has a special meaning when used on Zhang Bao.

Yu Dongqing spent the whole afternoon teaching Zhang Bao repeatedly that his pronunciation must be accurate.

Also, Zhang Bao's emphasis has a Qinbei flavor, so try to overcome it when singing this song.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Zhang Baocai sang this song a cappella to Yu Dongqing's satisfaction.

Of course, the matter is not over yet, there is still arrangement, but Yu Dongqing does not plan to work overtime and can just go back to work.

Zhang Bao invited him to dinner again, but this time Yu Dongqing refused.

"Zhang Bao, I will finish the arrangement of this song as soon as possible, and you should practice it seriously." Yu Dongqing said and then said to Li Wei:

"Li Wei, please pay more attention to Zhang Bao while he is practicing singing. If there are any problems, let him correct them."

"Don't worry, Brother Yu."

Li Wei immediately agreed, filled with envy in his heart.

It's a pity that I don't have a good voice, otherwise I might have become popular if I had asked Brother Yu to write a good song.

It's a pity that I can only study arranging hard, and try to arrange the songs written by Brother Yu myself. In the future, my name will appear on the song materials, which is pretty good.

After a busy day, Yu Dongqing began to relax again. He didn't need to worry about the rest of the day, Luo Yun would naturally worry about it.

Within two days, Yu Dongqing received a call from director Lu Yongru. The person on the phone thanked Yu Dongqing for writing such a nice ending song for his new TV series.

"Besides, the girl named Guo Xin in your studio is also good at singing. I think she will definitely become a hit in the future."

The fire is a fire, don't just let people complain about the bad movie and make a wonderful song.

Yu Dongqing muttered in her heart, but of course she wouldn't say it with her mouth.
