Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 212 I Like You

Seeing Yu Dongqing's surprised gaze, Zhou Fanming laughed and explained: "I don't know Lu Wanyu, but her manager, Long Quan'an, used to be my friend. He suddenly came to talk about this matter yesterday. I didn't expect Mr. Yu to still Such a thing was promised."

Yu Dongqing didn't hide anything, so she briefly talked about the meeting with Lu Wanyu, and finally said: "I have heard the song sung by Lu Wanyu. This singer's voice is explosive, especially the high-pitched part. I think it has great potential."

"The singer that Mr. Yu likes looks extraordinary. That day I asked Long Quan'an to call that Lu Wanyu to experience it." Zhou Fanming changed the subject and looked at Yu Dongqing: "Mr. Yu, the song you gave Lu Wanyu Is it already written?"

"Mr. Yu, if you write it well, show it out for everyone to appreciate, don't keep it secret." Xia Wenxi interjected.

Zhou Guoliang also looked forward to it.

It is an indisputable fact that Yu Dongqing's Mandarin songs are good, but apart from the Cantonese version of "A Lang's Love Song" written for Wu Jingqi last year, I really haven't seen any Cantonese songs written by him.

Are his Cantonese songs as strong as Mandarin songs?

Yu Dongqing pondered for a while.

In fact, he had already thought up the song. He originally planned to contact Lu Wanyu privately after the work was over and give her the song. Let Luo Yun discuss the copyright matter. He didn't want to show it off in front of too many people.

But in today's situation, everyone talked about it, so Yu Dongqing didn't hide anything anymore, so she said with a smile: "I wrote a song, please give me your opinions."

Hearing what Yu Dongqing said, Xia Wenxi immediately said to the butler beside him, "Go and get my Martin D-200."

The butler gave Xia Wenxi a slightly surprised look, but left in a hurry without saying anything.

Liu Guoliang next to him joked: "Wen Xi, why did you take out the treasure you have treasured for many years today?"

"Haha, as the ancients said, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. Mr. Yu wants to sing, so naturally he has to bring out the best musical instruments!"

Yu Dongqing hurriedly hummed a few times, and it didn't take long to see the butler coming over with a guitar carefully.

Good violin!

Not only did Yu Dongqing admire in her heart, but it turned out to be a limited edition treasure with the theme of time issued by Martin Company!

The top is made of gorgeous bearclaw Engelmann spruce, and the back and sides are made of rare Brazilian rosewood.

Watch gear bezel with mother-of-pearl inlay, and the back panel is inlaid with a spectacular watch gear pattern cut from a mix of mother-of-pearl, bloodwood, Hawaiian koa and ebony.

Yu Dongqing plucked the strings, played and sang slowly after the prelude:

Drenched rainy street at dusk
Wipe away the rain and look up without reason

Looking at the lonely night light

It's that sad memory

Once again, countless thoughts in my heart
The past moments of laughter are still on the face

I wish you would know now

is my heartfelt voice

I like your charming eyes
Laughter is more charming.
"Like You" by Beyond!
This song is one of Beyond's representative works, and it ranked second in the radio charts in the late 80s in the last century.

Later, it was adapted and sung by Deng Ziqi, and won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards at the Ninth Wireless Music Festival Miguhui, and became one of Deng Ziqi's classic works.

When Yu Dongqing heard Lu Wanyu's voice that resembled Deng Ziqi the day before yesterday, she immediately thought of this song.

Sure enough, the charm of Beyond's Cantonese songs is not hidden. After Yu Dongqing finished singing, several old men applauded at the same time.

"Mr. Yu, amazing, I admire it!" Xia Wenxi raised his thumb.

Liu Guoliang also sighed and said: "Mr. Yu, to tell you the truth, your Mandarin lyrics are unquestionable, but the Cantonese lyrics, just "A Lang's Love Song" can't fully explain it. After all, this Cantonese lyrics and The Mandarin lyrics are very similar, but this song "Like You". I am willing to bow down!"

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. You have written countless excellent Cantonese lyrics. How can I compare with you in just one song?" Yu Dongqing hurriedly said modestly.

Indeed, although this Liu Guoliang is not as good as Huang Zhan and the like in the original time and space, he did write a lot of fine lyrics in this time and space, and this is worthy of respect.

"I think you're all too polite. Guoliang is a veteran with great ambitions. Mr. Yu is as upright as he is in the sky. It's a blessing to have you in the Xiangjiang music scene." Zhou Fanming interjected and said.

When did I become a member of the Xiangjiang music scene?
But seeing what the other party said, Yu Dongqing couldn't justify and make a statement.

Think Xiangjiang is also part of China.
Hearing Zhou Fanming's words, Xia Wenxi, who was quite happy at first, suddenly felt sad on his face. He also sighed and said: "Whether it is Brother Guoliang or Mr. Yu, the lyrics written are all original, but the music scores of popular songs in Xiangjiang have A lot of them are from Japan, and every time I think about this, I, a songwriter, feel ashamed."

The rest of the people were also a little silent.

In the original time and space of the 90s, many classic songs in the Xiangjiang music scene were covers of Japanese songs and rewritten lyrics.

So there is a saying that Miyuki Nakajima supports half of the Xiangjiang music scene. Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Eason Chan, Ren Xianqi, Fan Weiqi and others have covered her songs, and many cover songs have become masterpieces in the singer's music career .

We are familiar with Anita Mui's "Song of the Sunset" and Priscilla Chan's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Quakes" are classic Japanese songs.

There are also Alan Tam's "Man Catching the Wind" and "Love Trap", Jacky Cheung's "Love You More Every Day" and "She Far Away", Leslie Cheung's "Get Through Together" and "Who Resonates", Liu Ruoying's "Later", Zhou Huajian's "Flower Heart", Hacken Lee's "Red Sun" and many other songs are all covers of Japanese songs.

With so many cover songs, it is no wonder that Huang Jiaju said that there is no music in the Hong Kong music scene, only the entertainment industry.

The same is true in this time and space. Now the Xiangjiang music scene is still in its glory days, but many classic songs still come from Japan!
Without Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Xu Guanjie, and Lu Guanting Xiangjiang looks even more pitiful.

Of course, Yu Dongqing couldn't follow Xia Wenxi's sighs. After all, he came to Xiangjiang as a guest, so he said: "Mr. Xia, don't you still have you? A large number of Xiangjiang musicians including Mr. Liu have also created many excellent songs."

"I admit that I did write a few good songs, but I am already old. I am 62 years old this year, and I have already passed the peak of my creation." Xia Wenxi sighed, and said: "Guoliang is a few years younger than me, but also Almost sixty?"

"Our generation is getting old, but the young people have not grown up. What is the future of Xiangjiang's music scene, it is worrying."

Liu Guoliang nodded after listening.

Cantonese songs, in particular, declined even more under the rise of Mandarin songs in the Mainland.

But Zhou Fanming laughed: "Don't be too pessimistic, you two, isn't it Mr. Huan Yu? Although he is from the mainland, his Cantonese songs are no worse than Mandarin!"

"Yes, Mr. Yu, the glory of the Xiangjiang music scene, especially the Cantonese songs, depends on you. We will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

this peaty
Yu Dongqing said modestly, so she had no choice but to pick up the teacup.

Well, anyway, there are quite a lot of Cantonese songs, so just write a few more.

　Went out to play for a while and came home, and the saved manuscript is gone, so I quickly coded a chapter and uploaded it when I came back.
