Chapter 269: First Release of English Song, Hepburn's "Moon River"
"I didn't expect to catch a salmon, I was so lucky, and I had dinner today.
Now that I've achieved my goal, I'm not going to fish, it's too time-consuming, and I'll have to keep sailing. Qin Yuan said with a smile and looked at the camera.
Although sea fishing is fun, it can't delay the business, and as he himself said, sea fishing is too time-consuming, or wait for the time later, he will come to fish!
Thinking like this, he immediately put away his fishing rod and continued to sail the sailboat in the direction of Kuncheng.
After that, the wind and direction along the way were quite strong, allowing him to maintain a speed of 8 kilometers per hour.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and at this moment he had sailed for almost 10 hours, with a total mileage of about 70 kilometers, which was equivalent to half of the sea crossing.
At this rate, he should be able to reach Kuncheng in another ten hours or so.
Now because it is already winter, the sky is dark early, although it is only 5 o'clock, but the sun has begun to set in the west.
Qin Yuan sat quietly on the sailboat, watching the sun like an egg yolk begin to slowly set towards the sea level, and his face couldn't help but show a touch of intoxication, because this scene was so beautiful.
It wasn't the first time he had seen a sunset, and it wasn't the first time he had seen a sunset by the sea, but it was the first time he had sailed on the surface of the sea to see the sunset.
And this kind of sunset is far more beautiful and more sensational than the sunset he watched sitting on the beach.
The sound of the waves rippling in the blue waves was like the most beautiful sound in the world at this moment, soothing his restless heart.
Listening to the sound of the waves, Qin Yuan, who was originally excited because he caught salmon, slowly quieted down.
The vast sea was empty, as if the whole world was left with himself and the beautiful sunset, which was an indescribable loneliness.
But at this moment, Qin Yuan is enjoying this loneliness very much, and this loneliness has her unique soft and quiet beauty.
"It's such a beautiful view, I wish time could stop for this second!" Looking at the beautiful sunset, Qin Yuan said with emotion, but he couldn't help but have inspiration in his mind.
He immediately removed the guitar from the back seat of his bicycle and adjusted the lens of his action camera so that it was facing the setting sun, while he himself was slightly facing the setting sun.
In this way, the camera happened to shoot his side face and the sunset, because he was facing the sunset, so under the illumination of the sunset, he became a beautiful silhouette in the lens.
After adjusting the perspective, Qin Yuan sat on the sailboat with his guitar in his arms, and then said with a smile: "This situation and this scene can't help but make me feel the urge to sing a song."
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to bring you a soothing song - "Moon River".
Listening to the title of the song, everyone should have guessed it, this is an all-English song, and the name of the dragon country is "Moon River".
The reason why I wrote an English song is to give back to the foreign fans who follow me and like me, and it is also an attempt for me to go abroad.
This is the first time I've written an English song, I hope you can like it, and I ask for your support. ”
As a big blogger with 30 million fans, Qin Yuan's fans are very wide, he not only has domestic fans, but also foreign fans.
And foreign fans are divided into two groups, one group is naturally the Dragon Country people who study abroad or work, the nationality of this kind of person is the Dragon Country, but they work and live abroad.
Then the other group is overseas Chinese, as well as a small number of pure foreigners, such as Malaysia, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries, who have quite a lot of fans.
Because the popularity of Chinese in these countries is very high, most of the local Chinese can understand Longguo, so Qin Yuan's songs have flowed into these countries through the Internet, and eventually caused a large number of Qin Yuan's fans overseas.
And these fans first entered the online platform of the Dragon Kingdom to pay attention to Qin Yuan because of Qin Yuan's songs, but slowly they were also attracted by Qin Yuan's cycling video, and finally became a loyal audience of Qin Yuan's cycling video.
According to the statistics of the platform, the overseas fans who follow him account for almost 1% of his total fans, don't underestimate this 1%, you must know that 1% of 30 million also has a population of 300,000.
Even if half of these overseas fans are Dragon Country people abroad, there are still 50% foreigners, and that is 150,000 people, which is not a small number.
After all, Qin Yuan had never developed abroad before this, and his current foreign fans basically knew him through his music.
But it is precisely because of this that this also shows in disguise that the songs he copied from his previous life are extremely popular, and this welcome is not only limited to the Dragon Kingdom, but even if it is put to the whole world.
In this way, Qin Yuan naturally wants to open up overseas markets, after all, the global population is more than 6 billion, and this market is much larger than a single dragon country.
However, if he wants to open up overseas markets, he must make his songs better spread overseas, so he must write songs in English, the world's common language.
If such a thing is placed on an ordinary Dragon Country person, the difficulty can be imagined, and it is basically an impossible task.
After all, it is already very rare for ordinary dragon people to be able to say a few words of English boo, and it is simply impossible for a toad to grow hair in English.
However, this is a piece of cake for Qin Yuan, who has 40 points of wisdom, it may take several years for others to learn a foreign language, but with his wisdom, it can be easily learned in a few hours.
In addition, he had learned English very well in his previous life, and now with the blessing of 40 points of wisdom, he can speak English authentically without even using system points.
As for writing and singing, he can store all the songs he heard in his previous life, which naturally includes all kinds of foreign language songs.
Not to mention English songs, he can easily copy out songs in Island Chinese, stick language, and hairy bear language, and sing them skillfully.
And the song "Moon River" he is going to sing at the moment is an interlude sung by a famous actress named Audrey Hepburn in a movie called "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in a previous life.
The interlude was included on the film's soundtrack album of the same name, released in October 1961 through Victory Entertainment.
Then in 1962, the song won the "Best Original Song" award at the 34th Academy Awards and the "Production of the Year" and "Song of the Year" awards at the 4th Grammy Awards.
In 2004, this "Moon River" was selected by the Eagle Sauce Film Society as the fourth place in the "Top 100 Movie Songs in a Hundred Years", which shows how classic this song is.
Just after Qin Yuan finished speaking to the camera, his fingers gently plucked on the guitar strings.
Suddenly, a very soothing and soft guitar intro sounded, and the mere appearance of this guitar music made people feel like their hearts were in the water.
And in the fifth second of the guitar playing, Qin Yuan's soft voice full of magnetism slowly sounded.
Moon river wider than a mile
Moon River, no more than a mile wide
I'm crossing you in style someday
Someday I will meet you gracefully.
Oh dream maker,You heartbreaker
O dreamweaver, the one who is sad.
Where ever you're going I'm going your way
Wherever you go, I will follow you.
Two drifters off to see the world
Two wanderers want to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see
There is such a wide world for us to appreciate.
Qin Yuan's singing voice was unprecedentedly soft, if someone listened to it at this moment, they would find that the feeling was like a clear spring flowing into the heart, which made people extremely comfortable, and felt that their ears were about to become pregnant.
And the reason why Qin Yuan sang so softly and soothingly, like a lullaby, was because "Moon River" was originally an extremely soft folk song, the softest of all the songs he copied.
The melody of this song is simple, and the lyrics are simple, but it is such a simple melody and lyrics that can evoke the deepest emotions in people's hearts, why is this so?
This is due to its softness and soothingness, as soft as a breeze on the face, like a soothing soothing soothing feeling like a clear spring flowing.
There are many songs with simple melodies and simple lyrics, but very few can do this, and it is infinitely close to the perfection of the song, which is why it has become a classic.
In the movie, the male protagonist Paul finds the female protagonist Holly sitting by the fire escape ladder outside the apartment, playing the guitar and singing the song.
She delicately pours out her dreams, and her gentle and low melody reverberates and makes you think deeply.
At this moment, although Qin Yuan has changed the scene, his emotional interpretation of this song is not inferior to the original work, and he is also pouring out his dream, a dream of traveling around the Dragon Kingdom to see the world.
In a few minutes, the sound of the guitar slowly stopped, and his singing also slowly stopped, and suddenly all that was left was the sound of the waves on the endless sea.
"Okay, after singing, I hope you can like this "Moon River", the first time you sing an English song, if there are any problems with incorrect pitch, please bear with me." Qin Yuan said very modestly.
With that, he put the guitar away, tied it back to the back seat of the bike, and looked at the time, it was 5:30 p.m.
So he immediately took out the salmon he had killed, and then took the cutting board and kitchen knife out of the camel bag.
"It's not too early, and in ten minutes the sun will be completely below sea level, and it will be completely dark by then.
So while it's still light, I'm going to have to get the salmon to be treated, and the salmon I've caught for the first time will have to taste it. ”
Qin Yuan said with a smile as he picked up the salmon to make the camera clearer, he is now a fisherman, so he naturally has the show-off mentality that fishermen have.
"Look at this salmon, it's so beautiful! Hey, I fished! Qin Yuan said with a coquettish face on his face at the camera.
His appearance at the moment is so stinging, and when he releases the riding video tomorrow, it will inevitably cause a lot of fans to cry and laugh and ridicule.
But he doesn't care, it's rare for him to catch a fish once, and he caught a salmon weighing more than ten pounds in the first sea fishing, can't this make him swoon once?
"Today's dinner is this salmon, more than a dozen catties of salmon is enough for me to eat, but I can't just eat sashimi, such a good fish has to be the taste of our dragon people."
Let's make two dishes today, one is the Japanese salmon I just mentioned, to put it bluntly, it is sashimi, and then there is the way we eat it in the dragon country, fried salmon. ”
Qin Yuan said as he hung the camping lamp on the camel bag of the bicycle, because the sun was setting more and more, and the sky had begun to darken, to the point where the lights had to be turned on.
After turning on the camping lights in advance, Qin Yuan took out the gas stove and iron pot, although the sea was shaking, he could still fry salmon with his skills.
Before frying the fish, he used a kitchen knife to quickly handle the fish, and a huge salmon knew every structure in his eyes.
In just a few minutes, he was able to process the whole salmon with ease, the tail, the head, the backbone, and then every part of the meat.
In terms of his knife skills and understanding of fish, he is not much better than the ancient Ku Ding Jieniu, he is Qin Yuan Jieyu!
"I've now separated all the salmon meat, and I'm going to eat the fillet raw, and the rest half to fry, so it's time to cook it again.
It's best to marinate sautéed salmon in white wine first, but I don't have white wine with me when I'm out and about.
So directly use a small amount of light soy sauce with ginger, green onions, garlic, salt, black pepper powder marinated, and if possible, you can use white wine!
Okay, now that the marinade is done, let's light the fire, then heat the oil, and then put the salmon pieces in the pan and fry them. ”
Qin Yuan said as he lit the gas stove, then put a little cooking oil in the pot, and then turned on a low heat and began to fry the fish slowly, the whole process can be said to be orderly.
After less than two minutes of frying like this, the fragrant pan-fried salmon is out of the pan.
"Okay, out of the pot, it's really fragrant! Sure enough, the freshly cooked food is the best, and I can start enjoying the food! Qin Yuan turned off the fire and said excitedly.
Isn't it a blessing to be able to eat pan-fried salmon and other high-end dishes in Western restaurants when you go out or at sea!
