Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing was driving leisurely to Yang Yixin's Cunpu Village Tea House.

Today he and Zhang Yang made a special trip to the Grand Canal.

The car parked in the parking lot near Wulin Gate, and then took the water bus from there, watching the scenery along the way, with barges passing by from time to time.

We also visited the Dadou Road Historical and Cultural District, Gongchen Bridge, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum. We sat in a nearby teahouse and drank tea. Finally, we took the water bus back the same way and then drove to the teahouse. It was already afternoon.

"Zhang Yang, I won't go shopping with you tomorrow. I will return to Yanjing soon. I want to stay at Lao Yang's tea house for two days, and I won't go there." Yu Dongqing said while driving.

"Okay, okay, you live your hermit life, and I'll go to Songcheng alone. I heard it's very lively there."

Yu Dongqing shook his head after hearing this.

Zhang Yang is a lively person, which is opposite to his own personality.

Driving along Hupao Road towards the mountains, it didn't take long to see a teahouse hidden in the shade of trees on the roadside. However, what surprised Yu Dongqing was that there were some people in the usually clean courtyard of the teahouse, including someone who looked like a reporter. People take pictures with cameras!

What kind of big shot is coming?

Yu Dongqing parked the car and walked towards the yard with Zhang Yang, when he saw Yang Mei running over: "Uncle Yu, your friend came from England to see you."

British friends?

Yu Dongqing remembers that she doesn’t have any friends in the UK, right?

Elena?

She is Italian and should be considered a bright friend.

Yu Dongqing followed Yang Mei into the courtyard. She saw Yang Yixin drinking tea and chatting with a middle-aged white woman at the tea table in the pavilion, and there were two women beside him.

is her!

Yu Dongqing knew who was coming.

Susan!

I guess I was invited by the Hangzhou Music Festival.

He smiled and walked towards the pavilion.

Susan also saw him, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yu, it's not easy to meet you."

Ah?

The two shook hands, Yu Dongqing introduced Zhang Yang, and the two sat down on the wicker chairs. Next to them, a woman named Wang Hui, who claimed to be from the reception team of the music festival organizing committee, said to Yu Dongqing: "Mr. Yu, We spent a lot of time trying to find you."

oh?

Wang Hui briefly explained what happened.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Susan." Yu Dongqing apologized: "We made a special trip to Hangzhou just to drink tea and chat with friends. We didn't want to be disturbed by the outside world. I didn't expect Ms. Susan to come to Hangzhou as well. I'm really sorry. "

Yu Dongqing spoke in Chinese, and Dora immediately translated into English.

"It's okay, Mr. Yu, I heard that you like drinking tea very much." Susan asked.

"Yes, especially Longjing, especially the Longjing near Hupao Spring. "Water and tea are both excellent. The tea in my friend's tea house is not only the best, but the tea making method is also unique. I believe you have tasted it. , tastes good, right? "

Susan nodded. Although they British people like to drink black tea, they occasionally drink green tea. This fragrant and elegant taste is indeed a different feeling.

When it came to tea, Yu Dongqing started talking non-stop. He said that all the tea leaves in Cunpu Village Tea House are home grown, are of high quality, and are green and environmentally friendly. He also praised Yangmei’s Jiangnan Tea Event and said that he had written a special book for this purpose. a song.

Yang Mei stood by and listened and felt happy.

"Uncle Yu is so awesome! This is advertising for us."

Of course, guests can’t just have tea when they come. When it’s time for dinner in the afternoon, Yang Yixin generously invites Susan and Wang Hui to a restaurant called Qingchan Huachu in Hupaoquan Park. They order local Hangzhou dishes and entertain them warmly. .

Hangzhou cuisine is relatively light, which is just right for Susan’s taste.

After drinking and eating, Susan suddenly made a request to Yu Dongqing.

"Mr. Yu, I will sing at the concert tomorrow night, including the song "Scarborough Fair" you wrote. I want to sing this song with you, is that okay?"

This one.

Yu Dongqing hesitated.

People came thousands of miles away, and although I didn’t attend the music festival, there was no need to be so reserved.

However, if they sing a duet tomorrow night, then the two of them will have to practice coordination during the day tomorrow, and won’t they be unable to drink tea quietly?

Not to mention looking at the other party's eager eyes, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree.

Forget it, after the singing, stay one more day.

"Thank you." Susan smiled happily.

The two parties agreed to go to the recording studio provided by the organizing committee at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to practice first to achieve the best results.

After the meal, Wang Hui accompanied Susan and others by car down the mountain and back to the hotel. Yu Dongqing and Zhang Yang also returned to the B\u0026B to rest.

Yang Mei couldn't restrain her excitement.

"Uncle Yu, thank you. You are doing me and my dad a big favor. Who doesn't know about Cunpu Village Teahouse and my Jiangnan tea business now!"

Yu Dongqing glanced at her and smiled: "If I don't do something, wouldn't I really be eating and drinking at your dad's house for free?"

Everyone laughed.

On the evening of April 6, the annual West Lake International Music Festival officially kicked off at the beautiful West Lake. It was broadcast online and offline simultaneously, and the entire Liulang Yingwu Park was a sea of ​​joy.

Compared with music festivals such as Midi and Helan Mountain that focus on rock music, the West Lake Music Festival is just like the Jiangnan water town where it is located, focusing on poetic folk songs.

Various domestic folk bands and great artists came one after another, and even internationally influential country folk singers like Susan also came to the West Lake to read and sing poetry in the spring.

It is a pity that the domestic folk music giant Qingmanglu Band has become silent.

Without hearing the poetic and beautiful folk songs of "The Story of Time", "Love Song 1990" and "Chengdu" at the music festival, fans always feel that something is missing.

But when the festival opened, explosive news suddenly broke.

Yu Dongqing, the lead singer of Qingmangli Band, suddenly and mysteriously appeared in Hangzhou and will sing the song "Scarborough Fair" with international superstar Susan! "

After hearing the news announced by the organizing committee, the fans were excited.

Wow. My brother-in-law finally showed up at the concert!

Although he only sang a duet with others, the song "Scarborough Fair" was also written by him.

Although this English song is not widely circulated in China, die-hard fans of Brother-in-law regard it as one of the most classic songs written by Yu Dongqing.

But why not sing a song alone?

Fans immediately went to Yu Dongqing's Weibo to ask questions.

Yu Dongqing didn't know because he rarely went to Weibo.

Now wearing a handsome casual suit, he is putting on makeup backstage - this is necessary, otherwise his face will turn pale when the lights hit him.

I just bought this suit today. It turned out that when I came to Hangzhou, I only wore a very ordinary jacket and jeans, which was too casual and inappropriate.

At 8:30, the music festival officially started, and singers and bands took turns to perform, setting off a wave of singers.

At nine o'clock, Susan appeared as the highlight and sang two country folk songs in one breath, while Yu Dongqing listened in the background.

Susan's voice is too similar to Karen Capone who sang the English song "Yesterday Again" in that time and space. Her voice is beautiful and slightly sad.

It is a pity that the latter died young.

After singing two songs, Susan invited Yu Dongqing to come on.
