Chapter 496 Is the relationship between these two unusual?
As a music creator, Yiliqi was very familiar with Lin Su's songs that were sung by everyone on the streets, and could even hum a few lines without thinking.
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, Yiliqi's face instantly showed layers of admiration.
He quickly took over the conversation, speaking in perfect Mandarin with a Beijing accent, his tone full of undisguised flattery.
“The production team previously told us that a highly creative musician was preparing an adaptation of ‘Night in Ulaanbaatar’ and even invited our band to participate in the performance. I was very curious about it, and I never expected that it would be you, Mr. Y! It is such an honor to be able to collaborate with you this time.”
Yu Huan smiled slightly, revealing a gentle and humble smile, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Not at all, it's an honor for me to be able to collaborate with such an excellent ethnic rock band like yours. Every time I watch your performance videos, I am always amazed by your band's strong ethnic style and powerful musical personality."
Sister Ru watched as Yu Huan and Yiliqi exchanged polite pleasantries...
Her smile grew even brighter, and she took Lin Yourong's arm affectionately, deliberately lowering her voice and speaking with a hint of mystery.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The person I'm about to introduce is a very important figure. I guess I don't need to say much more, right?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Hanggai Band, who had been casually exchanging glances, all turned their attention to Lin Yourong.
Although Lin Yourong wore a mask and hat, covering most of her face, her pure and refined temperament, which emanated from within, could not be hidden.
Previously, Lin Yourong had been standing quietly beside Yu Huan, taking a slight step back, remaining silent and low-key as if she had blended into the background, to the point that the band members hadn't even noticed this big star who was so close by.
At this moment, after Sister Ru reminded him, Hu Richa, who has a forthright and unrestrained personality, was the first to react.
His eyes widened, his face filled with a mixture of surprise and delight. With a Mongolian accent, he raised his voice and said, "My goodness, you can't be Teacher Lin Su, can you? We've listened to your songs countless times! Everyone in our band is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to perform 'Night in Ulaanbaatar' with you this time!"
Yu Huan watched this scene and couldn't help but silently complain to herself.
Maybe he's so excited because he's going to appear on "I Am a Singer," a nationally popular music program, and get to appear in front of a nationwide audience...
“I am also very much looking forward to collaborating with the Hanggai Band. This arrangement is quite challenging, and we will have to rely on the knowledge and experience of all the teachers in Mongolian folk songs. I hope we can work together to give a good performance of ‘Night in Ulaanbaatar’.” Lin Yourong responded calmly, her tone carrying a gentle smile that was like a spring breeze.
Yu Huan listened to his wife's impeccable, official speech and sighed inwardly.
As expected of Old Lin's daughter! She speaks so eloquently and persuasively!
Yu Huan casually took out her phone from her pocket, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost 10:30.
He glanced around at everyone and then said loudly, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started and discuss the specific rehearsal plan, and also familiarize ourselves with the score. This adaptation of 'Night in Ulaanbaatar' is quite challenging, so we need to make full use of these precious few days to polish the details and achieve perfection."
Hu Jiyan, with a smile on his face, interjected, "I see there are quite a lot of people here, and this place seems too crowded. I'll take you to a slightly larger practice room, where you can rehearse for the next few days."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan nodded happily: "Sure, thank you so much, Brother Hu, you've done us a huge favor!"
"Hey! Why are you being so polite with me!" Hu Jiyan raised an eyebrow behind his glasses, exuding a warm and friendly aura.
Watching Yu Huan's decisive and efficient manner, Sister Ru observed that the Hanggai Band members had just arrived and, without even a moment's rest, were eager to get to work immediately...
A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered something, so she quickly reminded her, "Yu Huan, their luggage, musical instruments, and other things have just been delivered to the hotel."
Yu Huan smiled and waved her hand, her expression calm and unhurried, saying, "It's alright. Let's finalize the rehearsal plan first. The more thorough the communication in the early stages, the more confident everyone will feel. I think we can use the remaining time this morning to sort out the overall framework. After lunch, everyone can go back to the hotel to rest and recharge, and then come back at 2 pm sharp to officially practice with the instruments."
Previously, Yu Huan had always maintained a humble and polite attitude, which was noticed by everyone in the Hanggai Band.
Now that I know his identity, I am more convinced by his well-organized arrangements.
Upon hearing this, Hu Richa immediately shouted in agreement: "Okay, we'll all listen to Teacher Yu! We'll familiarize ourselves with the score in the morning and start practicing directly in the afternoon. If we follow this pace, the efficiency will definitely be good."
These seemingly rough and bold men are actually very meticulous.
It was obvious that Sister Ru addressed Mr. Y as Yu Huan, and even called him Teacher Yu in a rather ingratiating manner.
Hu Jiyan nodded repeatedly, gave Yu Huan a thumbs up, and said half-jokingly, "Look at you, so good at making arrangements, no wonder you're the leader!"
Yu Huan listened, then just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
The other members of the Hanggai Band obviously didn't know this 'leader brother', but since they were newcomers and perhaps not very familiar with each other, they didn't ask any questions.
Yu Huan turned around, walked towards the coffee table, picked up the sheet music and USB drive on it, and tidied them up a bit.
The group filed out and headed towards the practice room.
For Yu Huan, this was destined to be a day where her mouth would never be idle.
As soon as he stepped into the spacious, bright, yet somewhat empty practice room, his voice began to echo throughout the room.
The scene was similar to a meeting at the Jiangnan Morning Post, where everyone sat on high stools, forming a circle, and quietly listened to him speak from the front.
After Yu Huan explained in detail the direction of the adaptation of "Night in Ulaanbaatar", he distributed the sheet music to everyone.
He smiled and said, "Please feel free to ask any questions you may have..."
In the following time, from instrument pairings to melody and rhythm, and then to harmonic accompaniment such as throat singing and long-form singing, Yu Huan provided detailed and professional answers to every question.
Even during breaks in the discussion, he specifically pulled aside Captain Ilich for an in-depth discussion about long-form singing and throat singing...
Lin Yourong sat quietly in front of a Yamaha grand piano, its dark body gleaming with a soft luster.
All around, discussions rose and fell, weaving together into a lively soundscape.
Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Yu Huan's busy figure.
Watching Yu Huan tirelessly spinning around like a top for her sake, Lin Yourong couldn't help but smile. Finally, Yu Huan managed a brief moment of free time and walked briskly to Lin Yourong.
With a smile playing on his lips, he reached out and ruffled her hair, which was covered by a fisherman's hat, and said half-jokingly, "The band has everything arranged perfectly, everything is ready, we're just waiting for you, the star of the show, to make your dazzling debut. You'd better give it your all!"
Lin Yourong tilted her head slightly, looked at Yu Huan, and smiled confidently and charmingly, replying, "You've prepared all this for me, it would be too much of a shame if I let you down... Also, I've already asked around, and Senior Sister Zhang Ye will be visiting relatives in Xingcheng this year. I plan to go see her tomorrow and ask her for advice."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Yu Huan's eyes.
He then burst into hearty laughter, his voice filled with excitement: "That's fantastic! With the national team's guidance, you're definitely in the bag this time."
In the realm of Chinese folk songs, only Zhang Ye and Song Zuying, two "regulars" who have been active on the Spring Festival Gala stage for many years, are qualified to wear the crown of "Queen of Folk Songs".
With Zhang Ye's personal guidance and Yu Huan's already thorough understanding of the song "Night in Ulaanbaatar," Lin Yourong's chances of winning this competition are practically guaranteed.
Lin Yourong couldn't help but smile as she looked at Yu Huan's excited expression.
An idea suddenly popped into her mind.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, and looked at Yu Huan with a hint of inquiry, saying, "Hey, how about I ask Senior Sister Zhang Ye if she's free tonight, and invite her to have dinner with us?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "That's a great idea! You two are such good friends, she'll definitely come if she has time. You should ask her if it's convenient for her."
Okay, I'll call her right away later.
The young couple chatted happily, their conversation even bordering on sweet.
The members of the Hanggai Band witnessed this scene, especially Yu Huan's natural and affectionate pat on Lin Yourong's head, which made them murmur to themselves.
Could it be... that these two have a special relationship?
The morin khuur player, Batu Bagen, couldn't contain his curiosity. He nudged Hu Richa beside him with his elbow and whispered with a hint of gossip, "Don't you think there's something... between Mr. Y and Lin Su?"
Hu Richa's gaze darted back and forth between Yu Huan and Lin Yourong, a meaningful smile on his face. He replied softly, "Don't make wild guesses here. Maybe they're good friends."
At this moment, Sister Ru crossed her arms and leaned against the windowsill.
She glanced at her watch listlessly and realized it was already past twenties.
Based on the principle that it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, he stepped forward and invited everyone to eat at the Hunan TV cafeteria at the broadcasting center...
Time flows like a mighty river, rushing ever onward.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds flew and the sun went by, and night was slowly enveloping the city.
The spacious practice room was already brightly lit, the light pouring down and illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
Since its formation in 2004, Hanggai Band has had a nearly ten-year music career, which has long since shed their naivety. They are no longer greenhorns, but rather have a wealth of performance experience.
After picking up their instruments from the hotel at noon, the band members rushed to the practice room with great enthusiasm.
They hadn't rested for a moment, and by this point, they had spent the entire afternoon working together.
For them, Mr. Y's adaptation of "Night in Ulaanbaatar" was indeed very different from the Zuo Xiao Zu Zhou version they had studied before, and it was completely unrecognizable compared to the original.
At first, the members were full of confusion, and they found it difficult to understand and adapt to this very different style of adaptation.
However, as Yu Huan answered questions and explained things freely and without reservation, the communication between the two gradually became smooth and unimpeded.
Through back-and-forth communication, the members gained a deeper and more thorough understanding of Yu Huan's ideas and adaptation style.
It must be said that Captain Iliqi has a high opinion of Yu Huan's abilities.
Although he had a vague feeling that this famous Mongolian folk song had been turned into a hodgepodge by the latter, mixing Tibetan opera and rock, Ilich did not raise any objections.
His attitude has also influenced the other members of the band, showing a strong sense of top-down influence.
After all, what Ilich himself did was to integrate Mongolian music into rock, a style that was already bold and unique enough in the music market.
Meanwhile, in the practice room, the members of the Hanggai Band were busy with their own tasks.
Apart from Hu Richa, the lead singer in charge of the long-form vocals, who sat there looking at the sheet music and occasionally singing a few lines, the other members were all trying out their instruments.
For a moment, the spacious practice room became somewhat noisy.
When Yu Huan had some free time, he sat side by side with Lin You Rong on the double piano bench and listened to her sing it softly again.
After Lin Yourong finished singing, Yu Huan gave her feedback with a big smile.
"Very good! You handled the emotional progression quite well, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the hidden vocal parts!"
"Tonight I'll go online and find some relevant tutorial videos for you. Let's study them together. We can't just act like complete novices and ask others for help."
"Although your senior sister Zhang Ye is highly accomplished in the field of folk songs, everyone has their own expertise, and after all, she is not a Tibetan singer. I feel that as long as she can offer some advice at key points and provide suggestions on overall singing techniques, that will already be a great help."
Lin Yourong turned her head slightly, listening to Yu Huan's words with a serious and focused look in her eyes.
She pursed her lips slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand what you mean. The articulation and breath control in Tibetan do require more practice to get used to. I plan to come back after dinner tonight and practice alone."
Yu Huan thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure, your senior sister Zhang Ye is coming over for dinner tonight. I'll have her come over and give you some on-site guidance, and help you refine it."
