Chapter 359 Mr. Yu?
Amidst Liang Qiaobo's soft-spoken Cantonese-accented Mandarin in the background, Sister Ru chimed in with a smile: "Then we definitely came prepared!"
Upon hearing her words, Hu Jiyan's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh? Since the new songs also have a backstory, could you give us a little hint about the style of these three songs?"
talking.
He picked up the fairness cup and bent down slightly.
With fluid and natural movements, he slowly filled the teacups in front of the two women with tea.
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru immediately turned her gaze, which carried a hint of helplessness, to Lin Yourong.
Just then, Liang Qiaobo put down his pen, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and looked up.
Clearly, while discussing the arrangement direction with Shang Wenjie, she also noticed the conversation here, and at that moment she was listening very attentively.
Lin Su, a rising star in the Chinese music scene, is now even able to compete with Jay Chou, who has also released a new song, on various music charts.
Her new work naturally aroused a certain amount of anticipation in the hearts of these musicians.
The background story of "Red-Haired Girl" was refined by Yu Huan and is now only a few hundred words long.
Lin Yourong felt the expectant gazes of everyone. After carefully reading the last line on her phone screen, she casually placed it on her lap.
After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "Both songs are patriotic songs, one is an ancient-style song, and both have elements of patriotism."
The words fell.
A brief silence fell over the room.
Seeing that she seemed to have nothing more to add, everyone present, except for Sister Ru, showed surprised expressions.
Main theme? These days, sentimental ballads are all the rage in the music market, while patriotic songs, apart from classic oldies, are not only niche but also practically nonexistent in the market.
Most of them have simple melodies and harmonies, and are either familiar or lack personality and originality.
For these cutting-edge musicians, it's basically the same old formula from over a hundred years ago that they're tired of hearing.
Furthermore, the performance of patriotic songs is relatively difficult.
It's worth noting that Lin Su is a pop singer, and in their view, a patriotic song is undoubtedly a bold crossover attempt.
Liang Qiaobo raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
He spoke softly in his distinctive, albeit slightly slurred, Hong Kong-accented Mandarin: "This is indeed a very challenging endeavor. Lin Su, what I'd like to know is, why did you choose this style?"
Now that we've reached this point, Sister Ru has something to say.
She chimed in with a smile, "Teacher Liang, this wasn't Susu's own choice of style. It was Mr. Yu who wrote three songs in this style for her."
"Mr. Yu?" A hint of doubt appeared in Hu Jiyan's eyes.
They had been talking in hushed tones, and he seemed to have heard a name with the surname Yu, though he couldn't quite make it out. Seeing the confusion on her old friend's face, Sister Ru thought for a moment and then explained, "It's Mr. Y."
"Oh, so the 'Y' in Mr. Y is taken from the first letter of 'Yu'!" Hu Jiyan suddenly realized, and then asked, "Is it the 'Yu' in 'extra'?"
"Yes, his surname is Yu, and his pen name is Mr. Y." Sister Ru nodded slightly.
"okay I know."
Hu Jiyan turned to look at the rather shy and refined Liang Qiaobo, a smile on his face, and explained:
"Lin Su's most popular song right now is 'It's You,' and Teacher Liang's favorite song is 'Time Thief.' Both of these songs were written and composed by Mr. Yu."
“I agree.” Liang Qiaobo nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then said gently, “Lin Su’s two songs are of very high quality. The melodies are catchy and the lyrics are poetic and particularly touching. Especially the song ‘Time Thief,’ the lament and reflection on the passage of time really made me sigh.”
talking.
Liang Qiaobo picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, gently put it down, and continued, "I noticed the lyricist and composer a long time ago and had someone look into it, but we didn't find any useful information. All we know is that he wrote two songs for Lin Su."
After hearing his words, Hu Jiyan immediately turned around and jokingly said to Lin Yourong, "Lin Su, it seems that Teacher Liang is really your music listener! You know, when he first communicated with Shang Wenjie, the two of them sat silently for an hour with Director Hong Tao between them."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru quickly suppressed a laugh, lest she burst out laughing uncontrollably.
However, it was unexpected that Liang Qiaobo, a figure with a considerable status in the Chinese music scene, would take the initiative to contact Yu Huan.
It seems that Yu Huan's songs are not just something she finds pleasant to listen to; even legendary music producers far more professional than Li Xiaodong are impressed by them!
Liang Qiaobo, whose shortcomings had been exposed, was not angry. He just smiled helplessly and waved his hand, saying, "Oh, Mr. Hu, don't joke about this. I'm just not very good at initiating conversations, and I wasn't very familiar with Wenjie at the time, so I didn't know where to begin."
Shang Wenjie chimed in softly, "Yes, Director Hu, Teacher Liang is actually very friendly and has a very good temper."
Hu Jiyan looked at Lin Yourong with a smile, then changed the subject and said, "Lin Su, Mr. Y has made such a big breakthrough in style in the songs he wrote for you this time. Do you feel any pressure?"
At this moment, he was already feeling a sense of excitement, like someone who had just caught a glimpse of a prey.
Since his main job is to produce music for programs, compared with Liang Qiaobo, who is deeply involved in pop music, he is more skilled in the direction of mainstream music.
Knowing that the tone of most patriotic songs is solemn, grand, affectionate, and magnificent, they are suitable for being performed with a grand and bright bel canto or folk singing style.
Hu Jiyan pondered for a moment.
He didn't wait for Lin Yourong's reply and continued:
"Although mainstream songs sung in a popular style are also widely loved by young people, such as 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,' 'The Heavenly Road,' and 'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' they require a relatively high level of musical skill and singing ability."
"Remain--"
Lin Yourong quickly swallowed the word "joy," paused briefly, and then carefully chose her words:
"The songs written by Mr. Y are all more delicate and lyrical, and in terms of singing difficulty, they are not as difficult as the songs you mentioned, Director Hu."
Hu Jiyan's face lit up with curiosity as he asked, "Is that so, Lin Su? The traditional Chinese style song that Mr. Y wrote for you is similar to Jay Chou's 'Red Dust Inn'?"
