Chapter 78 Ordinary is the only answer

Yuan Tao wiped the corners of his eyes silently.

This song really touched him.

Men after middle age often feel lonely because every time they open their eyes, they are surrounded by people who rely on them.

But the person he could rely on was gone.

The son wants to support but the relative does not wait.

Middle-aged people experience it most deeply and painfully.

After a while, Yuan Tao took several deep breaths, and then he clicked the play button of the next song.

“In [-], the crops had not yet been harvested.

My son is lying in my arms, sleeping so sweetly,
I don’t have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight.
My wife reminded me to repair the pedal of the sewing machine.

……

These are the words in my father's diary,

This is the prose poem left behind by his youth,

More than ten years later, I couldn’t stop crying..."

For the arrangement of this song, Lu Yuan chose the version sung by Li Jian and Xu Fei’s original arrangement, which is not bad.

But it’s not rich enough.

At that time, Xu Fei was living very hard and had to rely on selling songs to make ends meet.

When selling the full copyright of "Prose Poems Written by My Father" (including the right of authorship), it could not even be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

Later, Xu Fei sang it himself out of anger, but due to financial reasons, the arrangement of Xu Fei's version was very simple.

Li Jian's version of "Prose Poems Written by My Father" adds piano, string instruments and other musical instruments, making the arrangement richer and more intensifying the emotions in it.

Listening to this song, Yuan Tao once again thought of his deceased father.

His eyes were moist again.

Although his father left no prose poems, the calluses on his hands are the most moving poems in the world.

The boy does not cry easily, but it is not when he is sad.

Yuan Tao, a weathered man in his 40s, couldn't stop his tear ducts, and big tears gurgled down the corners of his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, "When You Get Old", "I Remember", and "Where Has the Time Gone" poured into Yuan Tao's eardrums one after another.

After listening to "Where Has the Time Gone", Yuan Tao pressed the pause button.

With the previous six songs, plus the song "Youth", Lu Yuan's second album can't be bad at all.

a long time.

Yuan Tao said in a hoarse voice while wiping his tears.

"Xiaoyuan, I made you laugh."

"No." Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "This is the greatest affirmation for me."

"Ugh."

Yuan Tao pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

These songs do not need his evaluation.

Well, that's good.

There are many good songs about family love in the Chinese music scene, such as "Mother in the Candlelight", "Only Mother is Good in the World", "Dawn", and "If the Wine Is Dried and Sold Without", they are all masterpieces among masterpieces.

But for one album, one person wrote five songs, which is unique in the Chinese music world.

but.

There are gains and losses. Teenagers make up the vast majority of Lu Yuan's fan base. It is difficult for them to resonate deeply with these songs.

After all, age and experience are there.

But what is lost in sales will be gained in reputation.

Besides, Lu Yuan's new album also has songs like "Youth".

"Xiaoyuan, I won't listen to the remaining songs you have."

Yuan Tao did not dare to continue listening. He was afraid that if he continued to listen, his mood would collapse again, so he decided to change his approach.

"You should have brought the music score, right?"

"Bring it."

Lu Yuan took out another slightly thinner composition book from his bag.

"It's all here."

After taking the composition book, Yuan Tao immediately opened the title page.

"Wandering, on the way,

Are you leaving, Via Via?
……

I have crossed mountains and seas.Also passed through the sea of ​​people.

Everything I ever had.

In a blink of an eye, it's all gone like smoke,
I've been lost, disappointed and lost all direction,
Until you see the ordinary, that's the only answer..."

Seeing the lyrics of this song, Yuan Tao's hands shook unconsciously.

The lyrics are so well written.

Regret!
Yuan Tao regretted pressing the pause button.

No!

He wants to renew it!

The next second, Yuan Tao immediately turned his chair and put on the monitoring headphones again.

After cutting three songs in a row, he finally heard the melody of "The Ordinary Road".

Renewal successful.

"...

I once fell into the boundless darkness,
I want to struggle and can't extricate myself,
I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and flowers,
Desperate and longing,

I cry and laugh in an ordinary way,

Go forward, just go like this..."

"The Ordinary Road" is Master Park's comeback after 11 years of silence. As soon as the song was released, it quickly topped the charts on major platforms.

This is also one of the great things Lu Yuan prepared for his second album.

Grab it with both hands!
Both hands must be hard!
Reputation, sales, he wants it all!
the other side.

After listening to this song completely, Yuan Tao couldn't let go for a long time.

The more you experience, the more you understand the meaning of ordinary.

Ordinariness is the true meaning of life. Ordinary days may be uneventful, but they are the happiest times.

The general manager of Huayi Music, this position looks very prestigious to outsiders, but only Yuan Tao himself knows what it is like inside.

If he had a choice, he would really like to quit and live an ordinary life.

But, he had no choice.

Various factors stacked together must push him to run all the way.

Just like Ma Yun's famous saying, the happiest time in my life was when I just graduated from college and received my monthly salary.

These words are certainly suspected of being pretentious.

However, it is more or less sincere.

Money can solve the troubles you have when you have no money.

The troubles you have when you have money, money can’t solve.

This is not a pain.

After a long time, Yuan Tao sighed again.

This song is probably Xiaoyuan's inner monologue.

Although Yuan Tao didn't know everything about Lu Yuan's experience, he still knew the general situation clearly.

'I once fell into boundless darkness', which should be the period after the plane crash.

Fortunately, it all passed.

If, as the lyrics say, 'I just want to leave forever,' it will definitely be a loss to the Chinese music scene.

After a moment, Yuan Tao turned his chair and focused his attention on Lu Yuan again.

His eyes at this time were a bit complicated, showing sympathy and pity, understanding and distress, and a bit of happiness at the same time.

"Brother Tao, don't look at me like that."

Lu Yuan shrugged and said indifferently: "Since I can sing about those things and experiences, it means that I have come out of it."

"Ok!"

Yuan Tao nodded solemnly: "I believe you."

Then, he automatically skipped this slightly 'sensitive' topic.

"By the way, how was the MV shooting?"

"If you need help, just say it."

Lu Yuan said frankly: "By the end of next month, we should be able to complete all the MV shooting."

Compared with the first album, Lu Yuan clearly put a lot of thought into the MV for this album. He was not prepared to perfunctory the MV for each song.

Therefore, the MV was shot very slowly.

In more than a month, only half of the photos were taken.
