Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 310 What song to sing in Xiangjiang?

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department, an official organization of Hong Kong, took the lead in organizing the event, and the invitation letter was sent directly to Yu Dongqing's studio.

After receiving the letter, Luo Yun immediately called Yu Dongqing and told him about it. When he heard about such an important matter, he had to discuss it with a few buddies.

Of course, we can also talk about it in the WeChat group, but we haven’t been together for a long time, so it’s not bad to take this opportunity to chat and drink beer together.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Dongqing rushed to Liu Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Tavern, and he took a taxi directly without driving.

The tavern now seems to have become an Internet celebrity place. In order not to disturb the customers in the tavern, he didn't go in and went directly into the tavern, but entered through the door next to it.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw Zhang Yang and Du Hui sitting under the peach tree in the courtyard, drinking beer leisurely on wicker chairs.

"Oh, you two came quite early." Yu Dongqing greeted.

Zhang Yang laughed when he heard it: "As soon as you said it in the group, I rushed over immediately. I finally had the opportunity to go out for a drink, how could I miss it?"

After speaking, he proudly raised the beer glass in his hand.

"No way? Sister-in-law is so strict?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised.

"No way, San Gao." Zhang Yang sighed: "The doctor told me to control my diet and weight, so your sister-in-law won't let me drink."

"Then you have to pay attention." Yu Dongqing said while sitting on the chair, very concerned: "You don't drink, drinking some tea is good for your health."

"That won't work." Zhang Yang hurriedly protected the beer mug as if someone was snatching it, "In life, if you don't drink, what's the point of living?!"

Du Hui beside him laughed after hearing this: "Then drink less, but what Zhang Yang said is also reasonable. If you listen to the doctor completely, you will not be able to survive this day."

The three of them were chatting while drinking beer, when they saw Liu Yimin hurried out from the back door of the tavern with a large barrel of draft beer in his hand.

"Are you done?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Ah."

"Then let's get down to business."

Yu Dongqing told the story in detail, and Zhang Yang waved his hand after hearing this: "Go, of course! Official invitations must go! This is a political mission!"

Ah?
This awareness is high.
Want to go for a walk by the way?

"I think we should go too. Let's join in the excitement of public welfare performances." Liu Yimin said, "It's just that there are two issues to consider. This time we are invited to sing four songs on stage. We have to rehearse in advance. The three of us People are idlers, Du Hui, do you have time for class?"

"Also, what songs to sing? Can't they all be in Mandarin?"

"Don't worry about me, I have no problem with my time." Du Hui stood beside him holding a beer glass, and said with a smile: "I only have classes in the morning now, the big deal is that I won't go fishing these days."

"Holly, what about you, the song depends on you." Liu Yimin turned to look at Yu Dongqing: "I think the song "Broad Sea and Sky" is pretty good, it can be counted as one."

Yu Dongqing was still talking, but Zhang Yang said first: "That won't work, I need a new song! I'm going to Xiangjiang this time to take a good look at that Huang Qihui's face!"

Everyone laughed.

Huang Qihui was very arrogant, and in the end he was slapped in the face by Yu Dongqing, and everyone has heard about it.

In the end, everyone discussed that "Pearl of the Orient" must be sung, and it was originally written about Xiangjiang, which is very meaningful on this occasion.

The remaining three songs are up to Yu Dongqing. It would be best if he can write Cantonese songs, but if it is not possible, he can sing a few Cantonese songs such as "Broad Sea and Sky" or Mandarin.

The matter was settled like this, and several people drank beer for a while before returning home after ten o'clock in the evening.

Because Yu Dongqing couldn't take his daughter home at night because of something, he arranged to stay at the old man's house in Houhai. He came back from the tavern and took a taxi directly to Luo Yun's residence.

Knowing that he was coming, Luo Yun was waiting for him in the living room in her pajamas, watching TV, and seeing Yu Dongqing coming in reeking of alcohol, she hurriedly brought him a change of clothes from the bedroom.

"Go in and take a shower first, it's so dirty!"

Yu Dongqing chuckled, took a change of clothes and trousers, turned around and went into the bathroom, and came out not long after.Take a shower and feel refreshed all over.

Luo Yun had already made tea, and Yu Dongqing sat on the sofa and drank it slowly, while Luo Yun snuggled up beside him: "Have you all discussed it?"

"Well, I decided to go."

"Then I will formally call Xiangjiang tomorrow and go through all the procedures for you to go to Xiangjiang."

Yu Dongqing nodded after listening.

"What song are you going to sing? I will report to the organizing committee later." Luo Yun asked again.

""Pearl of the Orient" must be sung, and the other three songs have not been determined yet. Zhang Yang and the others intend to write three Cantonese songs for me."

Luo Yun was a little worried.

"Are you in a hurry? There's only one month, and this also includes your band's training time."

"It's too late, it's a week if it's slow, and it's three days if it's fast."

Yu Dongqing said leisurely.

The next morning, both of them got up early.Luo Yun wanted to go to work in the studio, while Yu Dongqing took the subway back to her home, first went for a run around the Rending Lake to exercise her body, and then went home to think about writing songs, put on a vest and big pants, With a cup of Longjing, Yu Dongqing turned on the laptop.

In the original time and space, there were too many classic Cantonese songs in the eighties and 90s, and Yu Dongqing had to think carefully about choosing the most suitable one.

Don't tell me, there are too many classic songs to worry about. Yu Dongqing doesn't know which one to choose?

This has to be carefully considered.

Anyway, there is no rush, there is still nearly a month left.

Yu Dongqing is not in a hurry, but someone is.

Guo Jiaxiang, the chief director of the show.

He felt a little stressed.

In addition to the complicated affairs of the whole party, there is another thing that bothers him more. He has invited singers from the mainland and Macau to participate in this performance.

According to the general practice, the commemoration of the handover is more grand every tenth and fiveth day, and some well-known singers from the mainland will be invited to participate, but this is rarely done in normal years.

However, this time Guo Jiaxiang broke the convention and invited the Qingmangshoe Band, which has been very popular in the Mainland for the past two years, to participate, which naturally met with some criticism.

Among them, musician Huang Qihui was the most criticized. He said bluntly on Twitter that this kind of large-scale public welfare performance should invite as many local singers in Xiangjiang, especially newcomers, and give them more opportunities to show their faces.

Guo Jiaxiang was very helpless.

I have invited one singer each for the mainland and Macau, how long will it last?
Who said I didn't invite new local singers?
Is it Lu Wanyu?

There is also the Tongguang band that suddenly became popular because of the song "Broad Sea and Sky", right?
What a nitpicker!

Of course, he also understood that Huang Qihui's reaction would be so intense.

However, these are not the most important, the most important thing is what song Yu Dongqing's Qingmanshoe band will sing at this party!

Therefore, after Guo Jiaxiang received the official reply from Evergreen Studio, he immediately asked his assistant to contact him and asked for the songs to be sung at the party.

I got an answer soon: it is an old song "Pearl of the Orient" and the other three are new songs, which are being created.

I.
Guo Jiaxiang was speechless when he heard it. He will be performing officially in less than a month, and he only wrote songs, and he wrote three songs? !

"When will they be able to write the song and send it over?" Guo Jiaxiang asked his assistant.

"Miss Luo replied, "It's a week if it's slow, or three days if it's fast."

Bragging?
This was the first thought that came to Guo Jiaxiang's mind.
