Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Road Is Long, Not Alone
On the way to the airport in Jincheng, a silver off-road vehicle sped through the traffic.
In the car, Yue Sitong leaned on the comfortable back of the chair and looked out the window a little tired.
A long journey has finally come to an end, and today is finally the day to return to Beijing.
Huang Ya, the little assistant next to Yue Sitong, was also not very energetic, and she walked around Jincheng for two days, saw Lanshan, the Yellow River, and the magical sheepskin raft, and walked for two days to make her have back pain.
Looking at the bare hills on both sides of the highway, Huang Ya asked the driver who was driving, "Master, how long do we have to get to the airport?" ”
At this time, it was not Yue Sitong's original driver Jiang Hang who was driving, but the substitute driver found by the owner of the recording studio who received them before.
After sending them away this time, the driver will drive back to Jincheng, and then find someone to send the off-road vehicle that accompanied them all the way back to the capital.
The master who drove the car knew that the big star in the car had nothing to say to him, so he drove quietly along the way, and didn't talk much, at this time he listened to Huang Ya's question, thought about it and replied: "It'll be there in another hour." Then he hesitated and said, "If you're bored, do you want me to put on some music?" ”
Jiang Hang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head to look at Yue Sitong, and shook his head lightly when he saw her, so he said to his peers: "No need, let them rest quietly" and then said: "Don't worry, we will definitely listen to this CD carefully when we go back." ”
Several people in the car knew that the music that the driver was talking about was nothing else, it was a small sample that Sun Yan specially brought before they set off again.
Originally, there was a set of detailed rules for accepting songs and inviting songs in the industry, and ordinary musicians would not accept songs from the outside casually, but Yue Sitong saw that Sun Yan had done his best to accompany the three of them for a few days, and he didn't make any excessive demands along the way.
So he sold Sun Yan's favor, accepted the album, and promised to listen to this sample in person when he returned to Beijing.
In fact, several people here, except for the driver who drove the car, have been in contact with this circle for a long time. Everyone understands that generally this kind of sample is of little value, and it is not necessarily possible to find a song that can be put into the album from dozens of samples, not to mention that Yue Sitong is not an ordinary singer, her album has its own strong style.
Generally speaking, unless she is a particularly famous songwriter, she will not include other songs on her album.
But Yue Sitong has already agreed to listen to this CD in person, and Sun Yan is not an ordinary recording studio owner after all, and the things he takes out should not be too bad, so he thinks that if these songs are barely okay, he will try his best to recommend them to the company.
Soon the car drove to the airport, and several people got off the bus with their luggage, and the careful Huang Ya did not forget to bring the album after taking the luggage, and then put it in the bag she carried with her.
She knew that with Yue Sitong's temperament, she would not owe favors to others, and she would definitely listen to this album in order to reply to Sun Yan as soon as possible.
After entering the airport waiting room, I found that there was still a period of time before I started to board the plane, Xu was resting in the car for a while, and with some energy, Yue Sitong gently patted Huang Ya who was in a daze next to him, and then said in a somewhat lazy voice: "Xiaoya, take out the album that Sun Yan gave us just now, I'll listen to it." ”
When Sun Yan brought this CD just now, he reversed the calm normalcy of the past few days, with a somewhat complicated look.
Yue Sitong thought, maybe Sun Yan felt that his behavior was a little abrupt, so it was not very natural.
But although Sun Yan is a businessman, he really hasn't asked for anything other than thoughtful care of several people in the past few days.
Yue Sitong has always been grateful to her, and she didn't hold up the shelf of a big singer after becoming famous, she knew what it was like to wait anxiously, so she decided to listen to this album and give Sun Yan a message immediately after she went back.
Huang Ya took out the album, and then took out a CD Walkman from her bag.
At this time, the Walkman was still relatively large and was specially designed to play CDs.
Yue Sitong took the Walkman and put on headphones.
The first thing that came from the headphones was not a song, but a warm-sounding male voice talking.
"Time passes, the vicissitudes of time, people will encounter all kinds of difficulties in their lives, for which we may be lost, may be sad, but there are always some things that must be faced, and when we have experienced it, we will find that all the original storms are just a tempering before the rainbow.
The following song is a folk song of the Yi nationality, which sings about the encouragement of the simple working people of the Yi nationality in the harsh winter.
Don't be afraid, spring, will come. ”
This paragraph was deliberately introduced by Ye Gui to Jiang Linfeng in front of the song, because the songs sung this time came from folk songs, Ye Gui was worried that he would not be able to directly tell Yue Sitong about the meaning he wanted to express in these songs, which would affect the expressiveness of these songs, so he added a paragraph of his own perception of this song before each song.
Yue Sitong listened to it, and really felt very novel, in the past, when they accepted other people's songs, they either asked for songs of the corresponding style directly from the copyright company after setting the direction of the album, or they went to the big-name songwriters to line up and sing whatever songs they wrote.
Before this album, Yue Sitong had never heard a sample of his feelings directly recorded before the song, and he couldn't help but smile.
It's really a bold guy, if such a sample is mailed to the copyright company or record company, it will definitely be rejected directly.
Music critics who have listened to countless songs will not like a guy who talks about their feelings about a song in front of them.
It's no wonder that the owner of the studio had a somewhat complicated expression when he brought him this album.
In fact, Yue Sitong was wrong, the reason why Sun Yan had a complicated expression was not because he felt that it was a bit bold to add the vernacular before the song.
It's that he hadn't heard of this sample at all.
It's just that his recording engineer Jiang Linfeng said that if he didn't give this album to Yue Sitong, then he would have to consider resigning.
After only two days of running out, Sun Yan, who was completely wiped out at home, was finally helpless, so he gave this album to Yue Sitong. This will make him lose his temper with Jiang Linfeng in the recording studio.
At the end of the boy's words, a somewhat dreamlike sound effect sounds, which soon fills the entire background, and then a simple guitar melody enters.
Yue Sitong was a little surprised, the level of this sample seemed to be much higher than she imagined, and then she heard a melody that surprised her even more.
The boy who spoke just now sang a Yi folk song in dialect.
The melody of this ballad is fresh and powerful, as if someone is really singing a loud mountain song on a high mountain.
Listening to this moving melody, and then remembering what the boy said just now, Yue Sitong was stunned for a while.
If ordinary people hear this song, they just think it's good.
So after hearing this song, people like Lu Haoming and Zhao Liang who have been in contact with music for many years can feel that this song is very innovative in changing folk songs into such popular genres.
And Liu Jie and Jiang Linfeng, who are at a higher level than them, can still be heard in the song, this song is very different from the current pop songs in terms of singing, accompaniment and arrangement, it can be said that it is a very big innovation, and it can even be said that there is a completely different style compared with the music at this time.
But the person who heard the most in this song was Yue Sitong, who had mixed feelings at this time.
This era is the best era for Chinese songs, but it is also the worst era for national songs.
Most of the popular songs of Xiangjiang and Baodao, which are the best-selling in the mainland, are sung about love and love. Some of them cover the classic melodies of the island country, and some have accepted the influence of foreign pop music, and have written many classic songs that are biased towards pop
Although foreign songs do not understand the language, they also occupy a large market in the mainland because of their excellent melodies and mature arrangements.
There are still songs from the mainland, except for a group of young musicians in Beijing who have just emerged, and only a few big names are struggling to support the domestic music market.
And as a country with a large population, the civilization that has been precipitated for thousands of years has not appeared in a single song with a national flavor on the music chart.
This is undoubtedly a regret in the hearts of all musicians in the mainland, especially the old folk artists.
Yue Sitong was unwilling, so she gave up the style she was good at and made a major breakthrough on the last album.
She wants to show the world that ancient China also has its own music.
However, the poor sales also told her that it would not work to create a national popular genre on her own.
But listening to this song, Yue Sitong couldn't help but feel endless emotion in his heart.
Isn't this song exactly what you're looking for?
On the road that I have been silently exploring, I finally found a musician who is moving forward together.
Yue Sitong listened to the song "Don't Be Afraid" in silence, and was about to play it again when he was about to play it again, when he suddenly heard the warm male voice sounding again.
It's still an introduction, and the song he is telling at this time is a ballad from Tuva.
Yue Sitong listened expectantly.
Soon, the melodious sound of the horse-head piano and the vast and quiet artistic conception in the song conquered Yue Sitong.
Isn't this singing the Qinghu Lake that I went to before?
The song is as peaceful and tranquil as the lake, as if your body and mind have been purified.
At the end of the song, Yue Sitong had mixed feelings in her heart, but she couldn't help but press the button for the next song.
After listening to the two songs, Yue Sitong couldn't wait to see what kind of songs were left behind.
didn't disappoint her, the remaining two songs are equally excellent, both the lyrics and the accompaniment are very well written, and more importantly, these songs are deeply in line with her heart.
Sure enough, I am not alone on this path.
After listening to the four songs, Yue Sitong immediately replayed the CD and began to listen to it back and forth repeatedly, forgetting the time for a while.
Huang Ya saw Yue Sitong's fascination beside her, and she was very curious.
Sister Sitong's usual taste in music is quite high, and it is incredible that she will listen to these songs so many times.
It's a pity that Yue Sitong was listening attentively at this time, and Huang Ya was inconvenient to disturb, so she could only watch from the side.
Half an hour passed
An hour passed
Two hours passed
It was time to board the plane soon, Huang Ya saw that Yue Sitong was still listening to the CD intently, so she had to interrupt her thoughts, shook Yue Sitong's arm and said, "Sister Sitong, don't listen, it's time for us to board." ”
Yue Sitong took off the headphones, looked at Huang Ya in confusion, her mind was still stuck in the melody of the horse-head qin just now, and asked casually, "What did you say?" ”
Huang Ya saw that Yue Sitong was still in a fugue, pointed to the boarding schedule in the hall, then picked up her bag and said to Yue Sitong, "It's time for us to board the plane and return to Beijing." ”
Boarding? Back to Beijing?
Yue Sitong slowly came back to his senses, then looked at the walkman in his hand seriously, and said slowly for a while: "Let's not return to Beijing first." ”
Huang Ya's eyes widened instantly, what kind of moth is this sister doing, she doesn't really want me to be fired from the company and then sleep on the streets.
Just when Huang Ya wanted to ask for an explanation, she saw Yue Sitong pointing to the walkman in her hand, and then showed a bright smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and said firmly.
"Let's go find him." ――
