Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

At noon on May 6, Yu Dongqing returned to Yanjing with her suitcase.

It was Li Wei who picked up the plane.

On the way back to the city, Li Wei said: "Brother Yu, when will you go to the studio to record the song "Beautiful West Lake in March" you wrote? Yawen is waiting for you."

With the idea of ​​keeping the good news from outsiders, Yu Dongqing decided to rearrange the song and let him and Zhao Yawen sing it as a duet.

In the original time and space, this song was originally a male and female solo. Zuo Hongyuan composed and sang it himself, and it was also a boatman in the West Lake in "The Legend of the White Snake".

Zhao Yawen's voice is sweet and very suitable for singing the female vocal part.

Now hearing Yu Liwei say this, Yu Dongqing pondered for a moment; "Okay, just tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll inform Yawen."

Li Wei drove him to his home in Nanluoguhang. When he opened the door and went in, he suddenly found someone at home.

Meili was standing in front of the earthen jar, changing the water for the goldfish, and the little milk cat Doubao was squatting beside it and looking at her.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Meili turned around and looked at Yu Dongqing: "Husband, you are back."

Sure enough, Meimei looks much better than a month ago.

"Don't you live in your house?" Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"Didn't you say you would come back today? I moved back this morning." Meili was very attentive and wanted to help Yu Dongqing carry the suitcase, but was stopped by the other party.

"Honey, are you hungry? I'll cook for you." Meiliang said again.

"I'm not hungry. You're pregnant, so don't run around all day." Yu Dongqing advised.

"The doctor said that you can't sit still all day long, but you still need to exercise moderately."

All right

Yu Dongqing let him go.

Yu Dongqing went to the bathroom to take a shower first, changed her clothes and immediately felt much refreshed. Meiliang helped pack the suitcase, and the couple sat on the sofa and chatted.

"What we need now is to go to Qishushu Pioneer Park to find a suitable post-production company and strive to complete the project as soon as possible." Yu Dongqing said.

"You want to edit it yourself?" Meiliang asked.

"Yes." Yu Dongqing nodded: "I will do it myself."

"Okay, I'll also come when you're editing and be your assistant." Meiliang said.

"you?"

"Husband, you work every day. I'm so bored at home alone. Just let me go. Husband." Meiliang said and hugged Yu Dongqing's neck again and started acting coquettishly.

"Okay, it's really boring to stay at home alone." Yu Dongqing nodded: "But what are you going to do about eating?"

"I have thought about it. Let's have dinner at home in the morning. Your parents came to see me this time and brought a lot of millet. They said that millet is nutritious for pregnant women and will not cause vomiting easily. Let's make millet porridge to drink in the morning."

"Then we go to the company together, have something to eat nearby at noon, and go back to my mother's place in the evening! At the weekend, when Tongtong comes home, I will cook at home and we will have a happy weekend together as a family of three!"

Ah?

The arrangement was quite good.

"Husband, let's go to Qishue tomorrow to find a suitable production company? I'm bored to death at home, and my mother won't let me go anywhere." Mingliang muttered again.

"Tomorrow? Yes." Yu Dongqing agreed and suddenly thought of something: "Not tomorrow, I have to go to the studio tomorrow to arrange and record the new song I sang at the West Lake Music Festival, and prepare to share it with Yawen Do a male-female duet.”

"Then I will go to the studio with you tomorrow! Anyway, I will follow you wherever you go!" Meili said and hugged Yu Dongqing's arm again.

"Okay, okay."

That night, Yu Dongqing video chatted with her daughter, while Mingliang was busy making millet porridge. Get up early the next morning, make millet porridge and egg rolls, and then drive to Jingyuan.

Zhao Yawen has been waiting in the office for a long time.

Of course, the focus of her career is now on film and television dramas, but why not do it if she can sing a popular song?

And it is the Huangmei tune that she is very good at.

"Teacher Yu, Teacher Ming." Seeing the couple coming in, Zhao Yawen quickly stood up and greeted them.

Meili was a little embarrassed.

In fact, she is younger than Zhao Yawen.

"Yawen, why don't you call me a teacher? Just call me Meimei." Meili went over and took Zhao Yawen's hand affectionately.

The two played the role of Dongfang Bubai and Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman", and they have a good relationship after staying together for several months.

It was a new thing for Yu Dongqing to come to the studio. He was like a dragon but never saw its end. Almost half a year had passed and he only came once.

Everyone came over to say hello, and Yu Dongqing responded with a smile.

Yang Liu came out last, with a big belly. He was just contacting a brokerage company about Guo Xinshang's acting.

Seeing her like this, Meili immediately felt like she had a close friend. When asked about some things about pregnant women, Yang Liu patiently answered with a wry smile.

Originally, he was Yu Dongqing reporting on the financial affairs of the studio, but with Meili being so involved, he probably ran out of time, so he could only say it in a WeChat video.

The two pregnant women chatted about private matters, and Yu Dongqing asked Zhao Yawen and Li Wei to enter the recording studio and start working.

Since this song "Beauty of the West Lake" uses the Chinese pentatonic scale, the arrangement instruments are mainly dulcimer, with Chinese guqin accompaniment in the middle, and violin decoration in the transitional part.

The sounds of these instruments can be synthesized using software and hardware sound generators, so arranging them is not difficult.

Yu Dongqing quickly composed the song using Fruit Software. After listening to it twice more, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she entered the recording studio, put on headphones with Zhao Yawen, and started singing along with the rhythm.

Man: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Ah ah ah

Beautiful view of West Lake in March

Spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke

Don’t underestimate Zuo Hongyuan’s compositions, which are all in Huangmei minor style. He also adds elements of traditional Taiwanese ballads (such as Gezi opera) and traditional Chinese pentatonic scales, coupled with thousands of turns of tones, making the minor songs he creates full of flavor. It has no charm, but this kind of song is a test of the singer's skills.

Singers like Teresa Teng, Feng Feifei and Cai Xingjuan from the original time and space were all singers who brought Zuo Hongyuan's songs to their fullest.

Of course, Zhao Yawen cannot compare with the great singers of that time and space, but she has learned Huangmei Opera and has a sweet voice. She is quite suitable to sing this song, but she also practiced for a whole day before finally completing the recording.

Yu Dongqing listened carefully to the two people's singing again.

Um.

Not bad, but her voice is not as high-pitched as Zuo Hongyuan, but Zhao Yawen's voice is comparable to that of Zhang Huiqing, the original singer of the female vocal part of Time and Space.

OK!

You're done! You can go home!

Yu Dongqing stood up.

Meili stood by and listened to their singing, waiting for it to end.

Seeing that all the work was done, they went over and took Yu Dongqing's arm. The couple greeted the employees and prepared to go home.

Before going down the stairs, Meili suddenly thought of something: "Oh, husband, you also want to write a theme song for this "Chinese Youth". Have you considered it?"

This is it.
