Chapter 20: Confidants and Pen Pals

Among the eight songs, Zhang Xiaoye naturally took "Walking Away in Style" as the first title song of the record, which is a work that can become Ye Qianwen's masterpiece.

Although "Lovesick in the Wind and Rain" is also a classic, it is a choral song after all, and it can't dominate the crowd, so it is placed in the third.

As the title song of the second wave, it is "Zero Hour and Ten Hours", a love song with a relatively slow rhythm.

Under Zhang Xiaoye's hand-in-hand teaching, Ye Qianwen finally memorized the lyrics and pronunciation of all the songs, but this is only the first step, even if you are a professional singer, if you want to sing a song well, you still need to be in contact.

Although the lyrics are memorized, the interpretation is still a little hot, and when Zhang Xiaoye stayed at school honestly in the morning, Ye Qianwen felt that Warner was going to practice hard.

She transferred to Xiangjiang for development, largely thanks to the introduction of Wang Zhenni, the editor-in-chief of "Silver World", which is now one of the most popular magazines in Xiangjiang, and as the editor-in-chief Wang Zhenni is also very familiar with the film and television industry.

"Silver World" can be understood as the colorful world of the film and television industry, and people in Xiangjiang are more accustomed to calling the film industry "Silver Altar", so there are titles such as "Silver Altar Four Beauties" and "Silver Altar Iron Man", and the magazine is also named after it.

Jenny Wang and Ye Qianwen also have a very good relationship, and after learning that she began to prepare for a new album, she came to Warner Records to find her, and Ye Qianwen was practicing hard at this time.

At zero hour, I leaned against the window to see the dark light outside the door

Lost night rain quietly kisses passers-by

You whispered in the rain

Happy Birthday My love one

Why do I have to wait for the rain now?

I sat until 2 o'clock in the evening

Said with two glasses of frozen champagne

Happy birthday To Me

……

Ye Qianwen sang this song over and over again, until she felt that her mouth was a little dry and she couldn't stand it, and when she stopped to drink water, she found that Wang Zhenni was already standing on the side.

She was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Jenny, why are you here?"

Wang Zhenni smiled and said, "Didn't you hear that you are going to release a new record, so come and see you, how about it?"

beckoning Wang Zhenni to sit down, Ye Qianwen smiled and said, "Thanks to Xiaoye, everything is going well now, as long as you practice the song, you can record it." ”

"Is that the writer who opened a column in Ming Pao called Dawn Night Whispers?" Wang Zhenni said: "In the field of literature, this name is now like thunder, but if you hadn't mentioned it before, I wouldn't have known that he still has such a good musical talent." ”

Ye Qianwen smiled and said, "Actually, I was quite surprised before, but Xiaoye is really powerful." ”

Speaking of Zhang Xiaoye, Ye Qianwen's interest seemed to come, and she chattered a lot to Wang Zhenni, just like a child showing off his toys.

Wang Zhenni looked at her and smiled very meaningfully, and when she finally stopped, she said, "Sally, do you like this Zhang Xiaoye?"

Ye Qianwen was stunned by this sudden question, and asked a little blindly: "Sister Jenny, why do you say that?"

"I've lived most of my life, and I haven't seen anything? Look at the way you just talked about Zhang Xiaoye's eyebrows, it was so obvious that I couldn't tell that I was blind. ”

"I'm happy that I'm going to release a new record soon, so I can't bear it. Ye Qianwen subconsciously defended, and Wang Zhenni said: "This is also a reason, but I listened to you singing just now, this should have been a sad and bitter love song, right? ”

was originally a bitter love song, but the audience listened to it but heard the sweet taste, which is definitely not good.

Zhang Xiaoye is not strict as a producer, but don't look at his usual giggling, he is not a good person, and he is a bit of a ruffian and a rogue, but he is still very serious when he is serious.

has worked with Zhang Xiaoye for so long, Zhang Xiaoye has never scolded her, and if there are any mistakes or misunderstandings, she will take the trouble to explain again and again, and she is very patient.

Zhang Xiaoye doesn't need to scold, every time he gets serious, Ye Qianwen will naturally concentrate on his work, this is a kind of contagious force, it is clear that he is very serious now, and he will naturally not slip away.

Ye Qianwen is now focused on making a new album, and she is very grateful to Zhang Xiaoye, but she hasn't thought about anything else, and now that Wang Zhenni has raised this question, she can't help but recall the bits and pieces of this time.

Zhang Xiaoye taught her the pronunciation of the lyrics word by word.

Zhang Xiaoye personally demonstrated to her over and over again how to interpret each song.

It is said that serious men are the most handsome, Zhang Xiaoye's expression when she was focused seemed to be engraved in her mind, and when she returned home or when Zhang Xiaoye hadn't arrived yet, she would always think about it involuntarily.

What's more, Zhang Xiaoye really understands her very well, just take these songs as an example, she hasn't said anything, and Zhang Xiaoye went directly into her heart.

Zhang Xiaoye grasped her thoughts and thoughts very accurately, both at work and in life, and she would have the feeling of meeting a bosom friend when the two of them communicated.

Although the time spent together is not long, Zhang Xiaoye seems to have really entered her heart.

With the recollection, Ye Qianwen's thoughts were a little wandering, and she muttered to herself: "He is only a sixteen-year-old high school student. ”

The answer to this sentence is already obvious, and Jenny Wang said: "Do you really think of him as a high school student?"

People have a physical age and a psychological age, and many people will behave more mature than their real age, Zhang Xiaoye is a traverser, and his soul is more than 16 years old, so it is naturally the same.

Seeing that Ye Qianwen was silent, Wang Zhenni touched her head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, if you like it, you have to move forward without hesitation, is age a problem? I have talked about two relationships so far, which one is not five or six years younger than me." ”

Not to mention five or six years old, there are more than ten or twenty years younger in the entertainment industry, is that a thing?

————

At St. Stephen's Church Middle School, Zhang Xiaoye submitted nearly 200,000 words to the Oriental Daily, which was enough to be serialized for a month, and the columns in the "Ming Pao" did not need to be written every day.

Prose essays are different from novels, there are not so many things to write every day, even if they are copied, one prose a day is too against the sky, and copying can't be surpassed.

Of course, in addition to prose and poetry, Zhang Xiaoye wrote a lot more in his column, involving life, society, school, education and other aspects, and his articles are especially popular with young people.

Just like Han Han in later generations, he is now an opinion leader among young people in Xiangjiang, with many supporters, and almost every article can be recognized, so that young people resonate.

There is no pressure on the manuscript, and there is nothing to do for the time being, Zhang Xiaoye finally wanted to concentrate on class, and Zhou Huimin handed over a letter and said, "Oh, Xiaoxian's letter to you." ”

Zhang Xiaoye took it casually and said, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"You can even talk about a plane tree in the school from spring to winter, so I'm not that interested. Zhou Huimin shook his head decisively.

The mailing address on the envelope was Zhenguang Middle School, which Zhang Xiaoxian sent from the school, and on the third day after the joint school activity, Zhang Xiaoye received the first letter she wrote.

At first, Zhou Huimin was very vigilant about this, and he talked a lot about it, in fact, he wanted to see what Zhang Xiaoxian wrote in the letter, and this careful thinking was easy to understand.

Zhang Xiaoye didn't hide it, and directly showed her the letter, and after reading it several times in a row, she completely lost interest.

The content of the letter was completely devoid of what she was wary of, and it seemed to her that it was even a little boring, and sometimes the letters exchanged between the two would talk about Zhang Xiaoye's poetry and prose, and sometimes Zhang Xiaoxian would try to write prose for Zhang Xiaoye to read.

Most of the content was extremely bland, what was going on in the school, a plane tree, a rain, they could both talk about it with relish, she really didn't understand what there was to talk about.

So now she is too lazy to read it, and now she can't imagine that these letters will be printed into books later, and they are very popular with readers.

Zhang Xiaoxian is a literary girl, in the words of later generations, she is still a little fresh, because she likes literature and Zhang Xiaoye's works, so it feels like she has found a confidant.

In the past, there was no one who could talk to her about these topics in school, so after meeting Zhang Xiaoye, I took the initiative to write a letter to him, because only in front of him can I open my heart and speak freely.

The two now have letters to exchange every week, as little as one and as many as two, Zhang Xiaoye feels that she is also very speculative, and it feels very good to communicate with girls.

In his previous life, he used QQ and WeChat to make netizens, and it is the first time that the pen pal has existed in two lifetimes combined, which is very fresh.

But then again, although we usually communicate, we also meet out to play together on weekends, so this can't be considered a pen pal, it's really just a letter to communicate, right?

Zhang Xiaoye finished reading the letter and was about to reply, when Zhou Huimin turned his head and said, "I made an appointment with Ah May to swim on Sunday, do you have time?"

Ah May is Luo Meiwei, since she met, Zhou Huimin has been in contact with her very frequently, and she often goes out on weekends, of course, Zhang Xiaoye and Zhang Xiaoxian are indispensable.

Zhang Xiaoye calculated, and there should be nothing to do by the weekend, so he said: "Of course there is time, Amin You want to swim, I have to have time even if I don't have time." ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhou Huimin was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoye's performance.

Since making an album for Ye Qianwen, Zhang Xiaoye has less and less time to accompany her, and she still has a lot of resentment about it.

If you go swimming on the weekend, you can also make an appointment with Zhang Xiaoxian, and Zhang Xiaoye immediately buried her head and began to write a reply.
