Chapter 20: Xin Yinru's Interview
After getting on the plane, after more than two hours of flight, Yang Yu arrived in Shanghai.
This is his first time in the most economically developed city in China, and the city also has a pivotal position in the entertainment industry.
Shanghai is not only the largest market for Chinese films and records, but also the largest gathering place for Chinese media.
Not to mention those second- and third-tier media, there are no less than ten first-line media that are very influential in China alone, including movies, music, and fashion.
Moreover, two century-old domestic media are also located here, the film "Pioneer Film", and "The Sound of Music" to interview him.
After getting off the plane, Yang Yu and Ren Qing hurried all the way to the booked hotel, where they wanted to meet Xu Xinling, who arrived in advance, and went to "The Sound of Music" for an interview together.
After meeting Xu Xinling at the hotel, Yang Yu, who saw the other party's huge entourage and had to carry his own luggage, immediately looked shabby, even if Ren Qing was following him, it was only Jin Yan who temporarily borrowed him.
After seeing Yang Yu, Xu Xinling's attitude was okay, although she had a sense of distance, she also thanked Yang Yu for the song she wrote.
But Xu Xinling's entourage is different, and the attitude is completely like thinking that Yang Yu can only get involved in interviews by relying on them, all of them are domineering and arrogant.
Especially Xu Xinling's agent, her eyes were almost on top of her head when she talked to Yang Yu, and she was also talking about the details of Yang Yu's interview, which was even more rude than treating her subordinates.
Although Xu Xinling saw all this, she didn't stop it, in her eyes, Yang Yu can only be regarded as an outsider, even if she writes two songs, she can't blame her subordinates for Yang Yu.
"A bunch of fools, if there is no Lao Tzu's song, how can Xu Xinling be interviewed, today this Liangzi is on the shelf, and one day it will be recovered. ”
In the face of these people's attitudes, Yang Yu did not have a seizure on the surface, but he had already scolded in his heart.
The attitude of these people deeply stimulated Yang Yu, making him even more eager to become popular, so that these people would regret their actions today one day.
After having lunch in a hurry, Yang Yu followed Xu Xinling and his party to the headquarters of "The Sound of Music" magazine.
The headquarters of "The Sound of Music" is located in the most prosperous area of the magic capital, in an old-fashioned western-style building surrounded by gardens.
In front of the western-style building, there is also a front yard full of flowers and trees, in Shanghai, a place where every inch of land is valuable, it is enough to see the history and strength of "The Sound of Music".
When the group was just about to enter the old building, Xu Xinling's agent suddenly stopped Yang Yu and pointed to the garden in the distance.
"You go there and wait, and I'll let you know when it's your turn to interview you. ”
Faced with such a difficulty, Yang Yu spread his hands and said: "Yes, I listen to you, just be happy." ”
Yang Yu's tone this time was obviously unhappy, Xu Xinling's agent naturally heard it, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Yang Yu, he wouldn't leave, leaving only the back of her head, and she didn't have a chance to say anything if she was angry.
============================= divider =============================
Now 40 years old, Xin Yin has many identities, including photographer, traveler, freelance writer, music critic and, of course, editor and journalist for The Sound of Music.
In the eyes of many insiders, Xin Yinru has a transcendent status, but in her own opinion, she is just an ordinary person who likes to travel and listen to songs.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Xin Yinru's mentality that she can keenly discover the hidden emotions in music, so that she does not taste music, but appreciates music.
Today, the editor-in-chief of "The Sound of Music" hopes that she can interview Xu Xinling, after all, Xu Xinling's two songs that landed in the top ten of the public trust list have caused a lot of repercussions in the circle.
But compared to interviewing Xu Xinling, Xin Yinru wanted to interview Yang Yu, the real hero who hid behind Xu Xinling and covered the composition and lyrics of these two songs.
In Xin Yinru's view, Xu Xinling, who has been struggling in the music scene for so many years, has long lost all her aura, leaving only the cheesiness of commercial compromise.
The ten songs in Xu Xinling's album this time, except for these two composed by Yang Yu, the other songs did not cause any repercussions at all, which is enough to prove that Xin Yinru's idea is correct.
However, in the eyes of the public, the object of attention is often the singer, and the songwriter is often ignored.
Although Xin Yinru really wanted to take Yang Yu as the target of the interview, the editor-in-chief had already set the tone, and she could only implement it.
However, under Xin Yinru's efforts, the editor-in-chief still agreed, and when interviewing Xu Xinling, he could interview Yang Yu by the way, so this was the opportunity for Yang Yu to be interviewed.
At one o'clock, Xin Yinru walked into the door of the headquarters of "The Sound of Music" and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, sitting on a mottled stone chair, under a pergola full of autumn leaves.
The blue sweatshirt, some old jeans, simple sneakers, and a very inconspicuous dress, but they reveal the owner's youthful and high-spirited age.
This figure Xin Yinru knows, which is the target she really wants to interview this time, Yang Yu.
Under the slightly bleak sun in late autumn, Yang Yu crossed his legs, put his arms on the armrests of the stone chair, supported his well-defined face with his hands, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and his lips were slightly curled, as if he was thinking about something.
Yang Yu had the unique troubles of young people on his face, accompanied by the yellow leaves falling around him, and the broken hair blown by the autumn wind, not knowing that he had become a scenery in the eyes of others.
Xin Yinru instinctively picked up the camera on her neck, opened it and pressed the shutter on Yang Yu, leaving this moment forever, it was this photo, but it became Xin Yinru's most precious work in the future.
The sound of the shutter startled Yang Yu, he followed the sound and found that it was a middle-aged woman, holding a camera, looking at each other, he smiled kindly.
But what Yang Yu didn't expect was that after he smiled at the woman, the other party walked straight towards him.
"You are Yang Yu. ”
The woman's voice was very soft, with the gentleness unique to southern women, which made Yang Yu, who didn't even know women, feel less abrupt.
"I am, may I ask who you are?"
In the territory of "The Sound of Music", maybe the other party is a staff member in the magazine, Yang Yu spoke in a very polite tone, making his attitude seem better, so as not to offend some people who should not be offended.
"I'm a staff member here, shouldn't you be interviewed today, why are you here alone. ”
Xin Yinru was a little curious.
Yang Yu touched his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "Actually, I'm not alone, the agent has arranged an assistant for me, but she went to the bathroom." ”
After speaking, Yang Yu pointed to the building of "The Sound of Music", and said self-deprecatingly: "The protagonist of today's main interview is not me, I am a giveaway, and when the protagonist is interviewed, I will not delay things when I go in." ”
Xin Yinru was laughed at by Yang Yu's words: "I'm also a reporter here, since you're fine, can I ask you a few questions first." ”
Yang Yulisuo nodded and said, "Of course you can, I'm not a big person, you can ask casually, I know everything." ”
"Well, I can ask you, what kind of state were you in when you wrote those two songs for Xu Xinling, and what kind of mood did you use to create them? ”
Xin Yinru is actually very curious, how Yang Yu wrote such two excellent songs.
"In fact, there is no state, and there is no mood, if there is one, it is a lack of money to spend. At that time, I was still participating in "The Strongest Voice in China", and the music director of the program group, Mr. Gao Le, said that Xu Xinling was collecting songs, and it happened that my sister needed money to go to school, so I wrote two songs and sold them to Tiandi Records. ”
Yang Yu's answer, Xin Yinru has already recorded with a recording pen.
She continued to ask: "Can you tell us about your experience, I know that you have participated in "The Strongest Voice in China", but before that, what did you experience? Why did you come up with the works in the competition in an inspirational style, and whether this creative style is related to your previous experience. ”
Facing Xin Yinru's question, Yang Yu frowned, he didn't really want to talk to others about the experience of the Blue Fire Band, after all, it was a pain in his heart that could never be erased.
But soon, Yang Yu thought with relief that since he had decided to continue, the matter about Blue Fire could not be a stumbling block for him.
Besides, his previous experience is not a secret, and even if he doesn't say it, one day he will become famous, and the media will dig up these things.
Instead of letting those guys talk nonsense, he might as well tell the truth now.
"Actually, my previous experience starts with me in Chang'an City, when I knew a few friends who played music,......
Next, Yang Yu told how he founded the Blue Fire Band, how he came to Yanjing to find a way to become famous, how he left the band in the end, and how he participated in "The Strongest Voice in China".
After listening to Yang Yu's narration, Xin Yinru then asked Yang Yu some other questions, including Yang Yu's recent development.
Of course, Yang Yu didn't miss the opportunity to tell him that he was going to release a single and that he was making an album, no matter how he said that everyone was a reporter from "The Sound of Music", maybe this interview would be published.
That's it, the two of you ask me to answer for half an hour, and then Xin Yinru looked at her watch and realized that she had missed the time agreed with Xu Xinling.
At this moment, a voice came from behind the two of them.
"Teacher Xin, why are you here, our family Xu Xinling has been waiting for a long time. ”
The two looked back and found that it was Xu Xinling's agent who spoke, and at this moment she was looking at Xin Yinru with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
When Yang Yu heard the agent's words, he suddenly asked the woman in front of him: "Teacher Xin, you won't be the reporter Xin Yinru who is going to interview me this time, right?"
Xin Yinru nodded.
Yang Yu looked at it and said with a smile: "Then we just finished the interview." ”
Xin Yinru said: "Of course, although there are still some problems, I think we will have the opportunity to meet in the future." ”
"What interview?Teacher Xin, what are you rubbing with this kid here, our Xu Xinling is still waiting inside. Yang Yu, don't you delay our Xu Xinling's time, didn't you say that when we finish Xu Xinling's interview, I'll call you?"
Hearing the agent's words, Yang Yu said: "Don't wait, my interview has been completed, you can accept the interview slowly." ”
After speaking, Yang Yu nodded goodbye to Xin Yinru, and left the headquarters of "The Sound of Music" with Ren Qing, who had already returned.
