Chapter Forty-Nine: The Rest of Your Life!
"A Girl's Prayer" is one of Miriam Yeung's most classic masterpieces, and it is also her repertoire at the bottom of the box.
In another time and space in 2000, the song swept many golden melody awards at the Hong Kong Music Stage 4 Awards Ceremony, and won the "Golden Melody Gold Award" at the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony of the year for the first time, successfully making Miriam Yeung a first-line singer.
As Yang Qianyi expected, this song does not blindly lay out the words and express feelings, but contains a fragmentary story, by describing the prayers and fantasies of a girl on the bus, to express the yearning for beautiful love, hoping that a lover will eventually become a family, and hoping that his love will not fall into tragedy.
The imagery used throughout the song is a very common scene in the lives of ordinary people, such as riding a bus, crowded carriages, changing traffic lights, and passengers obstructing the view......
The story is not complicated, simply put, an ignorant adolescent girl, sitting on the bus, accidentally met a handsome and charming little brother, in the process of constantly peeking, his mind became more and more active, and began to omit 10,000 words of sweet brain supplement, warmly hoping that the little brother can take the initiative to come and talk to himself, confess on the spot, kiss on the spot, if he can confirm the love, even if the car is destroyed and killed, it will not be separated.
But the bus will eventually arrive, the little brother always has to get off, and the anxious girl begins to pray clumsily, hoping that God can help her and fulfill the romantic relationship between the little brother and herself, that is, the lyrics of "Pray that heaven and earth will spare a pair of lovers, and what is afraid of never happening" and "Pray that Heavenly Father will be a good person for ten minutes." Give me his kiss as mercy on sinners"......
However, God did not favor her as a temporary believer, and the little brother did not notice her at all from the beginning to the end, so she retreated and cried and pleaded with the green light, hoping that the green light would blow itself up, so that the bus would stay a little longer, so that they could get along a little longer......
However, the reality is so cruel, neither God nor Green Light heard her heart, and the little brother finally got out of the car.
"But the Father did not show compassion for the good until I opened my eyes, and there was no light to guide ......"
The girl who was in a lost mood even complained to God, blaming him for not knowing how to be considerate of good people and not showing her the way.
This is where the story comes to an abrupt end.
In fact, it can be clearly seen that this story is a self-directed and self-performed girl herself, a girl with rich inner drama, after a series of psychological activities, the short unrequited love brain of this journey is vigorous and vigorous.
The meaning to be expressed is also very clear, the throbbing and regret of youth, the lovers that cannot be touched, the beauty that cannot be obtained, and the courage that cannot be mustered......
As for the other metaphors in the story, each hears and thinks about his own thoughts.
Yang Qianyi cycled this song all the way and was moved over and over again.
She was originally a very emotional singer, and even her own fans jokingly called her "Hung Hom Meng Jiang Girl", and it was not for nothing that she cried at the concert.
Now, she has been plagued by the problem of new songs for a long time, and she has never been able to find a way out, and at this time, she suddenly heard this new song that fits her ideas in all aspects, how can she not be excited, how can she not shed tears?
She sent a message back to Yu Sheng'an: "This is the song I've been looking for! Yu Sheng'an, I don't know how to thank you!"
Yu Sheng'an replied: "It's my honor to work with Sister Qianyi. ”
Yang Qianyi replied with a [hug] and [red heart] expression, and at the same time secretly decided in her heart that this cooperation with Yu Sheng'an, no matter what price his agency offered, she would agree, in her opinion, Yu Sheng'an already has the strength of a top musician, and the song "Girl's Prayer" is really too rare.
Soon, Yang Qianyi arrived at Liang Baiye's studio and saw that other musicians had already arrived.
After some greetings, everyone cut to the chase and prepared to discuss Yang Qianyi's new song.
"Before we get started, I'd like to play a song for you to listen to, and I'd like to ask you for your comments. Yang Qianyi said.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed subtly, and Liang Bai also asked casually, "Did you write it yourself?"
Yang Qianyi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'll sell it first." ”
As she spoke, she easily connected her mobile phone to Liang Baiye's stereo, and then began to play "The Girl's Prayer":
"Along the way, I fell in love with him like eloping in the carriage, and I didn't let go no matter how crowded I was~~"
……
The new song in 3 and a half minutes didn't take long to play, and after a group of professional musicians listened to it, no one spoke, until Yang Qianyi asked, "What do you think?"
Liang Bai was also the first to answer and asked, "Who wrote this song?"
Yang Qianyi did not continue to conceal it, and said, "The rest of my life is safe." ”
As soon as this name came out, everyone's faces changed and their expressions were different.
"Okay, this should be the song you've been looking for. Liang Bai also said with a smile indistinctly, and then joked half-truthfully: "Qianyi, you hid me so badly, I didn't know that you also found Yu Sheng'an to invite songs at the same time." ”
"No, no," Yang Qianyi shook his head and said: "Master Bai, you misunderstood, I didn't ask Yu Sheng'an to invite songs, but when I communicated with him yesterday to help sing the songs, I casually mentioned that I was preparing a new single, and then he sent a sample this morning." ”
"You mean, it took him one night to write this song?" someone asked in a strange tone.
Another added: "If that's the case, we can retire en masse." ”
Yang Qianyi hurriedly said: "Definitely not, I should have written it before, and I did it last night, after all, he is participating in the competition of "Good Cantonese", and it is normal to have a few songs in reserve." ”
This explanation did not ease the atmosphere, and all the musicians present, including Liang Bai, were wrapped in that deep frustration and could not break free.
As professional musicians, their ability to appreciate music is originally stronger than others, and they don't need to listen to such songs at all, they can distinguish the good and the bad just by listening to it once.
"A Girl's Prayer" is not only a masterpiece that is perfect in all aspects, but also a match made in heaven with Yang Qianyi, which can be said to be tailor-made.
From this point of view, Yu Sheng'an's terrifying thing is not only his genius creative ability, but also his accurate grasp of the fit between songs and singers.
This is a must-have for a top music producer.
They were devastated by these facts.
As the saying goes, "three stinkers are the top of Zhuge Liang", and now the six stinkers are at least equivalent to two Zhuge Liang, right, but they still lost to one Yu Sheng'an?
"Admire. The composer Chen Yanhui said sincerely.
"Good song. The other answered.
"I can't write this word, I'm willing to bow down. "One word is humane.
Yang Qianyi said with a smile: "Since everyone is optimistic about this song, then I will let Sister Hong go to negotiate authorization with the rainy season, in addition, Master Bai, our cooperation has not been invalidated, I will continue to wait for your new song." ”
Liang Bai also pointed at Yang Qianyi and shook his head and smiled: "I think Qianyi, you did it on purpose, and you used this song to put pressure on everyone." ”
After laughing for a while, everyone recovered from some kind of shock, the atmosphere was slowly harmonious, Yang Qianyi got up to say goodbye, she can't wait to record a new song by herself.
……
East Sea, Langer Hotel, Sweet Cat Rehearsal Room.
When the program team arranged for several band members of the two girls to listen to "The Next Stop", the expressions on their faces became quite exciting.
"That's a beautiful song, isn't it?" exclaimed the drummer girl.
"It feels like it can blow up. "The keyboardist obviously liked the song too.
"Did you write it yourself?" asked the bassist brother.
He Xiyu said: "We didn't write it, it was Mr. Yu who wrote it for us, and he composed the music, lyrics, and arrangement." ”
He Xiyu's tone was not only not a little ashamed, but also a little proud.
"The rest of your life is safe?" several people asked in unison.
"That's right. He Xi Yudao.
Yunqi also smiled and nodded.
"No wonder. Everyone was stunned, and then sighed: "Yu Sheng'an, it's really amazing......"
After the exclamation, everyone began to rehearse.
……
Flicking the guitar strings, the rain is like a drumbeat, the notes of time jump on the keyboard, and in the blink of an eye, it is May 24th.
The group finals of "Good Cantonese" finally started.
Several topics that have been hotly discussed on the Internet for nearly a week are about to become clear:
Are Yu Sheng'an's two songs so explosive?
Is the draw between him and Fang Yin artificially arranged, is the defeat of Tiantian Cat shady in the program group, and are the thighs of the young ladies of the Eight Women's Music Workshop so white...... These questions are answered immediately.
At half past seven in the evening, countless viewers across the country stayed in front of the TV set and continued to contribute to the ratings of "Good Cantonese".
Then, Fang Yin and the Eight Women's Music Workshop appeared......
Similar to the reaction of the audience, the audience in front of the TV was also amazed by the appearance of the Eight Women's Music Workshop, and someone directly took a photo and uploaded it to the Internet, leaving a message:
"Eight young ladies, I can do it! I will be the judge and let them draw!"
After that, Yu Sheng'an appeared on the stage to sing "Can't Say Goodbye".
The voice of cheering for the eight young ladies on the Internet was instantly suppressed.
In the final analysis, everyone still watches the show "Good Cantonese" to listen to the songs, and more audiences, including huge fish powder or corn powder (some Yu Sheng'an fans call themselves), major marketing accounts, jokers and music critics are waiting for Yu Sheng'an's new songs.
"Can't Say Goodbye" clearly didn't disappoint them.
Especially in this sad graduation season, many college graduates are already eating casual meals, and in this atmosphere, hearing the song "Can't Say Goodbye" is a tear-jerker.
As for the music critics, they can't say anything other than praise, Fu Er, who has been paying attention to Yu Sheng'an, said directly on Weibo: "This draw seems to be that the program team forcibly let Yu Sheng'an encore, and the eight girls are both talented and beautiful, but this is a singing show, and Yu Sheng'an's "Can't Say Goodbye" has already decided the winner. ”
Not to be outdone, the joker wrote a homophonic paragraph that was cold to minus 10 degrees:
"I can't bear to look at you the most, and you cook noodles with your back to me. ”
……
The show continued, and when it came to the most controversial part of the audience, Han Yue eliminated Sweet Cat.
The war that was deviated by the rest of his life was revived again, and the middle-class public relations and Korean fans who were on standby with the keyboard all night patrolled the whole network, and when they saw someone attacking Han Yue and hugging for the sweet cat, they gathered fire.
However, this encirclement did not last long, because Yu Sheng'an had already begun to sing the second song:
"Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".
“…… Even if there are thousands of songs in the coming day, floating on my road in the distance, even if there are thousands of evening stars in the coming day, brighter than the moon tonight, they can't compare to the beauty of this night......"
At that moment, thousands of TVs across the country were broadcasting this song at the same time, and that kind of singing voice formed a shocking and peculiar resonance.
It seems that there are thousands of songs today, floating in the vast night sky, and the thousands of evening stars are brighter than the moon tonight, but they are not as bright as Yu Sheng'an at this time.
……
Yu Sheng'an's two songs plunged the Internet into a boil.
This night, I don't know how much fishmeal or cornstarch went into the pit.
And not long after the end of the show, the queen Yang Qianyi posted on Weibo, she will release a new song at 9 am tomorrow, and the new song will be by:
Yu Sheng'an lyrics,
Composed by Yu Sheng'an,
Arranged by Yu Sheng'an.
