Chapter 53: Insects Fly
Speaking of this "Insect Flying", it is still Xiao Yao's first complete song work that Xiao Siqi heard. The appearance of this song www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion is also a certain coincidence.
At that time, it was the fourth filming of "Where Are You Going, Dad", and the location was in the rainforest. On the first night, everyone who had done all the filming had already slept in their tents. Xiao Yao, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, came back but quietly woke him up and pulled him out, and quietly woke up Sun Zhihao and Sun Tingting's father and daughter. When the sleepy-eyed three people were confused by Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao pulled them to the water's edge some distance from the campsite, and a group of flying fireflies immediately made the three of them sleepy. The excited Sun Tingting immediately threw herself into the firefly pile, because at the water's edge, Sun Zhihao immediately rushed over to protect her daughter's safety. Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao, father and son, just sat down on the side, quietly watching Sun Tingting dance among the fireflies.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Siqi suddenly heard Xiao Yao singing softly:
"The dark sky is low
Bright stars follow each other
Insects fly, insects fly
Who are you missing?
The stars in the sky weep
The roses on the ground withered
The cold wind blows the cold wind
As long as I have you with me
Insects fly and flowers sleep
One pair after another is beautiful
I'm not afraid of getting dark, I'm just afraid of heartbreak
It doesn't matter if you're tired or not
It doesn't matter if it's north, south, west..."
It's very good, this is Xiao Siqi's first reaction, so he didn't interrupt and quietly listened to Xiao Yao finish singing. I hadn't heard it, this was Xiao Siqi's second reaction, and then he looked at Xiao Yao. I quickly went over the song he sang. A very short song, it seems to be sung in less than two minutes in more than a minute, but there are obviously two main songs and one chorus in it, which is very in line with the most common song structure he said when he taught Xiao Yao to compose. Thinking about the lyrics again, insects fly? Xiao Siqi turned his head and saw the fireflies flying around Sun Tingting. This was made by Xiao Yao on the spot? It must be, he didn't run away. Because there were also Sun Zhihao and Sun Tingting at the scene, Xiao Siqi was silent. However, after returning home from filming, Xiao Siqi immediately wrote out the tunes and lyrics in his head and asked Xiao Yao for the name of the song. Xiao Yao was also looking at the beautiful scene of a bunch of fireflies flying at that time, and remembered the scene of Nie Feng and Kong Ci watching fireflies in the sword mound in the movie "Fengyun" in his previous life, and hummed the famous song "Insects Flying" in his previous life. Unexpectedly, Xiao Siqi next to him wrote it down. Due to the short time of learning songwriting with Xiao Siqi, coupled with the relative simplicity of the song's length, melody and lyrics, Xiao Siqi decided that this song was created by him on the spot at that time.
There is no Lin Xi, Chen Guangrong, Fengyun and Yi Mian in this world, and it is not a big deal to recognize the creator of this song, so Xiao Yao shamelessly told Xiao Siqi that the name of the song is "Worm Flying".
There are good things, hiding and tucking away has never been Xiao Siqi's character, although this song is simple, but the melody and lyrics are quite meaningful, it is really a rare masterpiece, plus it was created by his own son, Xiao Siqi ******** thought about publishing it.
But just such a song, let alone an album, it's impossible to release an EP, even if a single is released, this song is only a little more than a minute even if the prelude is added, and it doesn't seem to be easy to get. In the end, Xiao Siqi thought of his new album, so he had the idea to add it as a bonus track to his new album. Xiao Yao is naturally indispensable to this, but he refused Xiao Siqi's request to ask him to record and sing. According to his thoughts, this song is best suited for a group of children to sing together, and he doesn't want to just join in the fun as part of the chorus.
The album began to be recorded and produced step by step. Regarding the song "Worm Flying", Shen Yinan agreed with Xiao Siqi's decision to use it as a bonustrack, but he still felt that it was Xiao Siqi's album after all, and it was not appropriate to sing it all to children, so he suggested that Xiao Siqi sing the first main song solo, and then hand over the second main song and chorus to the children to sing together. Xiao Siqi tried it, and it seemed that there was no sense of disobedience for adults to sing this song, and the effect was not bad, so he agreed to Shen Yinan's proposal.
The album was successfully produced as planned, and entered the stage of publicity and charting as usual. Since it is a bonustrack, it is impossible to be the main track of the album, and neither Xiao Siqi nor the record company arranged for "Bugs to Fly" to be on the radio charts. However, Xiao Siqi's new album after a year is also of a very high standard, although it is not as popular as last year's "The Most Beautiful", the quality of the two title songs is also good, and the results of the hit list are also reasonable, plus the popularity accumulated by participating in "Where Are You Going, Dad" in the second half of the year, especially this album has a lot of works of different styles, and it is also a very gimmicky publicity point, and the sales prospects of the whole album are very optimistic, and it is generally believed that at least it will not be lower than the previous one.
Because of Xiao Siqi, to be precise, it should be through Xiao Siqi and XY that he had a cooperation, and Cao Zhongyun also paid attention to Xiao Siqi's release of a new album. After the album was released, Cao Zhongyun bought one as soon as possible and came back to listen to it. For the twelve songs selected on the album, Cao Zhongyun felt that it was not bad, but when he heard the last bonustrack "Worm Flying", his eyes lit up. I took a look at the CD box and found that the name of the songwriter of the last bonus track was indeed not Xiao Siqi, but the mysterious XY. Cao Zhongyun smiled and picked up the phone next to him...
"What? Cao Zhongyun wants to buy the copyright of the song again? Which one? "Worm Flying"? What's the situation?... In this way, okay, I'll discuss with XY to reply to you, thank you Sister Xu. Xiao Siqi hung up the phone and looked at his son who was practicing playing the piano with some jealousy.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao stopped and looked at his father a little strangely.
"Oh," Seeing Xiao Yao stop, Xiao Siqi sorted out his emotions for a while, and then said to Xiao Yao: "Mr. Cao Zhongyun, who bought your "Original Scenery of Hometown" last time, took a fancy to the bonustrack in my album again, that is, your song "Worm Flying", and said that he wanted to buy and use the copyright to make movie interludes. ”
"If he wants to buy it, then sell it, the old rule, just give the price to Sister Xu to negotiate." Xiao Yao said indifferently on the surface. In my heart, I sighed that Lin Dada's production is really different, although it is a different world, excellent works are excellent wherever they are. But then again, this song was originally made for the movie "Fengyun" in that world at that time, and now it is normal to be seen as an interlude by the movies of this world. Thinking of the movie "Fengyun" in his previous life, Xiao Yao asked again: "What kind of movie is it?
"A martial arts movie directed by Chen Zhuqi is called "Golden Lotus Sword". There is a scene in it where the hero and heroine perform light skills and fly through a group of fireflies, and they want to use this song as background music. Xiao Siqi replied, obviously Xu Ting had told him on the phone just now. Mr. Qin Kaixuan, who is responsible for the soundtrack of this film, is a good friend of Mr. Cao, who knows the difficulties of his friend, recommended this song to him, and Mr. Qin is also very satisfied after listening to it, because Mr. Cao has bought the copyright of XY's work before, and this time he entrusted Mr. Cao to help negotiate the copyright of this song. ”
"Oh, no wonder. Xiao Yao nodded, and then smiled: "It turns out that there are fireflies too." Didn't you also have a song on your new album, "Goodbye Fireflies," which you probably wrote after watching Fireflies that night?"
"Hey... Are you so irritating to my father?" Xiao Siqi, who was poked at the center, shouted a little annoyed, but then smiled: "No matter how powerful you Xiao Yao is, you are also my Xiao Siqi's species, no matter how good the music you write, it is also taught by my Xiao Siqi." Didn't your grandfather teach you a saying that the blue is better than the blue? The more powerful the son, the more proud he is to be the old man. ”
"Yes, yes, if only you could think so. Xiao Yao smiled. He saw that Xiao Siqi's expression just now was a little strange, so he deliberately said so excitedly. After getting along for so long, Xiao Yao already knows very well how to deal with his father.
A week later, the movie "Golden Lotus Sword" began to be promoted. The movie also released its first trailer. As an internationally award-winning director, Chen Zhuqi's martial arts film has already attracted the public's attention when filming began. As a martial arts movie, the first trailer mainly shows the fight scenes in the film. In this trailer, gorgeous scenes and costumes, and beautiful fighting actions have successfully whetted the appetite of the majority of fans.
Just when the public was looking forward to the release of the movie during the Spring Festival, a week after the release of the first trailer, the second trailer of the movie was also released simultaneously on the Internet and TV. There is only one scene in this trailer, which is the hero and heroine performing light skills and flying in a group of fireflies. Different from the atmosphere of the first trailer, this trailer shows a very beautiful footage. The soundtrack of this trailer is Xiao Yao's song "Insects Fly". The beautiful picture, coupled with the youthful and fresh nursery rhyme, shows the love between the hero and heroine very innocent and beautiful, which makes people feel wonderful and warm.
The song "Worm Flying" is a nursery rhyme, and children's singing gives people a feeling of youth, gentleness, and purity, and these three key words can also be used in love. When Xiao Siqi saw the lyrics, he interpreted the "stars in the sky crying" and "Who are you missing" into Xiao Yao's thoughts about Chen Zilin, "a pair after a pair" and "as long as you accompany him" interpreted as the dependence between Xiao Yao and his father and son, thinking that this is Xiao Yao's emotional expression of family affection, and he did not think about love. But he didn't think about love, others do. The first feeling that ordinary people feel when they see the lyrics is a kind of lonely sad beauty, and insects fly everywhere to express the pursuit of love. As long as the sentence "as long as you are with you", and the sentence "a pair and a pair of talents" all give people a sense of oath. Coupled with children's voices, this sad and lonely feeling, the innocent and poignant taste of love is simply touching and unwanted.
With the release of the second movie trailer of the movie "Golden Lotus Sword", the episode "Worm Flying" became popular before the movie.
The movie will not be released until the Spring Festival, and under normal circumstances, the soundtrack of the movie will definitely not come out until after the movie is released. People who originally liked this song thought that they would have to buy a CD with this song next year, but fortunately, the number of Xiao Siqi's fans is also very large, and fans who also pay attention to this movie were pleasantly surprised to find that the movie episode turned out to be the bonus track in Xiao Siqi's new album, this bonus is really a surprise. So some people rushed to the Internet to post the news.
Originally, as a bonustrack, Xiao Siqi and the record company were not too embarrassed to use this song to promote the new album, but they didn't expect that through a high-profile movie, someone helped their new album do another wave of strong publicity for free. Shen Yinan's original ridicule also had a result, and now it is obvious that it is not Xiao Siqi who helps XY release songs for free, but XY is helping Xiao Siqi sell albums.
However, in the opinion of agent Xu Ting, XY does not suffer a loss. Because of the popularity of the song, now it is not only Cao Zhongyun's right to use the soundtrack of the movie interlude, but many stars have come to her to contact her and want to buy the cover copyright of the song to prepare to perform the song at the New Year's Eve party at the end of the year. These all originated from the fact that Xiao Siqi put this song on the new album and was discovered by Cao Zhongyun.
