Chapter 81: I'm Busy Too
"First of all, the name of the song, "My Chinese Heart". Because www.biquge.info there is no arrangement, Ye Zi can only bring this song to everyone by recitation. ”
"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams, and the motherland has not been close for many years, but no matter what, it can't change my Chinese heart. ”
"Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with a Chinese seal. ”
"The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, the Yellow Mountain, and the Yellow River weigh a thousand pounds in my heart, no matter when, no matter where, my heart is as close as ever. ”
"The blood flowing in my heart, surging with the voice of China, even if I am in another country, I can't change my Chinese heart. ”
Gu Hong is a Chinese-American singer, a third-generation Chinese immigrant, who once appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala as a Chinese-American singer in the 90s. He is also the first foreign Chinese to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Once known as the enlightener of Chinese pop music in the Chinese music scene, after ten years, Gu Hong is over 40 years old, and began to settle in Tianhai City, China two years ago, and is currently an associate professor of Tianhai Conservatory of Music.
This year, Gu Hong has just changed his nationality to Chinese nationality.
Late at night, Gu Hong heard the lyrics of "My Chinese Heart" recited by Ye Ziyang, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.
He couldn't help but think of his grandfather, on his deathbed, holding his father and his own hands and saying, "Go back, our roots are in China." When I die, bring my ashes back and let me return to my roots. ”
At that time, Gu Hong was still too young to understand the thoughts of his grandfather's generation, and gradually Gu Hong grew up, and began to gradually understand the feelings of his grandfather's generation, so he chose to return to Huaguo, chosen, settled in Huaguo, and chose to change his nationality back to Huaguo.
And when I heard that "although I wear a foreign dress, my heart is still a Chinese heart, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with a Chinese seal." ”
Gu Hong finally fully understood why his grandfather had such a wish before he died, because his heart was always a Chinese heart, no matter where he was, the blood in his heart was always surging with the voice of China.
Just like him, although he was born in the United States, the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang still flows in his blood.
This song, although it is just a recitation of the lyrics, but Gu Hong liked it immediately, this song, for Gu Hong, is his grandfather, his father's, and the voice of a former overseas traveler like him.
So, that night, Gu Hong contacted Ye Qiu, the author of the song. Early the next morning, Gu Hong embarked on a flight to the capital.
He desperately wanted to sing the song out loud, to tell his grandfather and father, who had passed away, that he understood it completely, that he understood.
I also want to use this song to tell everyone the affectionate praise and infinite yearning of the former overseas traveler for the motherland.
After Ye Qiu heard about Gu Hong's grandfather, Gu Hong's father, and his own affairs, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, in his previous life, many stars who flaunted how patriotic they were in front of others, but secretly changed their nationality behind their backs, and celebrities like Gu Hong who changed foreigners back to Chinese nationality are too few and too few.
Ye Qiu knew that if this song was sung to a king-level singer like Li Boran, and it was sung on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with unprecedented influence in China, it would definitely be a lot of benefits for him, but Ye Qiu felt that compared to Li Boran, although Gu Hong was far less famous, this song was obviously more suitable for him.
And just when he was chatting with Gu Hong about this song, he received a call from Li Boran's agent Yao An.
"Is it Mr. Ye Qiuye?" asked Yao An.
"It's me, may I ask who you are?" Ye Qiu was a little puzzled.
"I am Mr. Li Boran's agent Yao An, Mr. Ye's song "My Chinese Heart", which is very well written, after Boran read it, I think I like it very much, and I want to buy it, this song Boran decided to sing at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Yao An said with a smile.
"Mr. Yao, I don't understand, didn't Li Boran already receive the right song? This song was indeed prepared for him at the beginning, but your staff called before and said that it was no longer needed......" Ye Qiu was interrupted by Yao An before he could finish speaking.
Yao An said: "Mr. Ye, you also know that Mr. Li Boran, as a singer at the level of a king, cannot do everything himself, for example, this time to collect the song, we sent invitation letters to many well-known songwriters, not only that, many songwriters who did not receive the call to invite songs, but also submitted to Li Boran's studio, so we have a lot of work, it is impossible to be exhaustive, and Mr. Ye's songs have not been submitted for a long time, of course, these are not important." ”
"The important thing is that Mr. Li Boran likes Mr. Ye's song very much, and has decided to sing this song at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, I think this is also an excellent opportunity for Mr. Ye, I know that Mr. Ye once sold a song for 100,000 yuan, this time, we add 20,000, 120,000 to buy Mr. Ye's song, how about compensating for the previous mistakes?" Yao An felt that he was already very sincere, and a song was opened to 120,000, which was already a great face for Ye Qiu.
The corners of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched, revealing a touch of ridicule and self-deprecation, Yao An's meaning Ye Qiu certainly understood, probably just wanted to say that the king Li Boran is very busy, there are too many songwriters who want Li Boran to sing the songs he wrote, and especially pointed out the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the meaning is obvious, that is, to tell Ye Qiu that Li Boran can take a fancy to his songs, it is his luck, it is also his opportunity, and it is something that others want.
Adding 20,000 yuan, in Yao An's opinion, is already giving Ye Qiu face, maybe in Yao An's opinion, Ye Qiu should be very happy next, very excited to agree, and even take the initiative to reduce the price.
But the next moment, the smile on Yao An's face froze.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Yao, you are a little late in making this call. Ye Qiu said lightly.
"What do you mean?Mr. Ye, if you think that 120,000 is not enough, you can add more money, how about 150,000?" Yao An thought that Ye Qiu thought that 120,000 was too low.
"It's not about the money, it's about the fact that I've sold this song to someone else. Ye Qiu said.
"Sold to someone else? I don't think anyone can be more suitable than Mr. Li Boran, and Mr. Ye, didn't you say that this song was written specifically for Mr. Li Boran? How can it be sold to others?" Yao An began to be a little annoyed.
"Hehe, Mr. Yao, please clarify the situation, I wrote this song, who I sell it to is my freedom, I don't think there is any need to report it to you, right? Also, Mr. Yao, I'm also very busy, so be it. After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
