Extended Play, or EP for short, is also known as a mini-album.

Positioned above the single, below the studio album, the number of songs included in it is usually between 3-6 songs.

Because of the small number of songs and different positioning, the production of EP albums usually does not take a long time, which is very suitable for Zhou Yi's current situation.

As a graduate, he also deliberately took time out to attend the school's graduation ceremony after the album was released, and releasing a graduation EP album is also in line with his personal positioning.

After all, no one can be eighteen forever, but graduates do every year.

The only thing that he can't figure out is that although there are many songs suitable for graduation in his head, many of them have limitations for him at present.

The Divine Comedy "The Days of BJ East Road" in the third year of high school has nothing to do with him, and there are too many things that need to be changed if you want to sing it;

The same is true of "Don't Say Goodbye" by the Good Sister Band, the lyrics of this song are written about high school graduation, which does not match his college graduation style at all.

He can sing next year, the year after next, and the year after next, but he can't sing this year. Because this year, his status is a college graduate, not a high school graduate.

Unless he changes most of the lyrics of this song.

And the song that really wrote a college graduation song is Lin Zhixuan's "The Intersection of Phoenix Blossoms", which was jokingly called the exclusive graduation song of Xiamen University.

But the reason why Zhou Yi was entangled in whether to buy this song was also the nickname he got after the release of this song: Xiamen University School Song.

At present, there are many phoenix flowers in Liangguang, Baodao, Fujian and other places, and now whether it is in Jiangxi or the imperial capital, it can only be seen in flower shops, and not every flower shop has it, Lin Zhixuan is a treasure island person singing this thing is not against harmony.

He is a graduate of Peking University from Jiangxi, and he sings the phoenix flowers on the campus of Peking University and there is no one on the roadside on his graduation day, whether it is a school leader or a classmate, it is likely that he will feel a little inexplicable.

After all, Peking University is not without its own scenery.

In 2001, the concept of regional development in the interior was still very heavy.

This song, like "Don't Say Goodbye", is a good graduation season song, but it is not suitable for him to sing after graduating from Peking University this year, because it does not fit his graduation personality this year.

Even if he sings it next year.

As for Mayday's "Cheers", it is not so much a graduation season song, but actually more like a social animal nostalgia song that was beaten by society after walking out of the college ivory tower.

The song "Hello Tomorrow" by Milk Coffee is relatively more suitable for female voices, and the effect of Yanzi Sun's singing will be many times better than that of himself.

"I think about it, huh? Wait a minute, I remember Zhang Zhenyue's "Goodbye" ......"

In his memory, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of Neymar Zhang Zhenyue in the music world, as one of his pension insurance, the song "Goodbye" is also a classic song that will appear at major graduation ceremonies in the future.

"05's, that's fine, copy it."

As soon as he saw the time, Zhou Yi decisively stretched out his hand and pulled the song over, and also pulled the song "The Wind Rises" with his hand.

It's just that the words of "The Wind Rises" have to be changed, and the sky in Nagano has been changed to the sky in the imperial capital.

Coupled with the fact that he is still tough with the media, Mayday's "Stubborn" is also suitable for his graduation experience this year.

"It's just that in this way...... the difference in the tunes of "Youth Commemorative Book" is a bit big."

Looking at the three songs "Stubborn", "The Wind Rises", and "Goodbye" that he drew out, Zhou Yi, who turned his pen, fell into contemplation.

He wanted to post two other songs, SHE's "You Were a Teenager" and Guangliang and Cao Ge's "Youth".

However, considering that this is his personal graduation EP, he still dragged in "Those Years", whose lyrics are more in line with the theme.

The lyrics of "Those Years" describe a person who has just graduated compared to these two songs.

"Anyway, it's an EP, so let's set the four songs "Stubborn", "The Wind Rises", "Those Years", and "Goodbye". There are so many songs left, and it's not too late to release them when there are no more restrictions in the future. ”

Considering that it is not a hodgepodge EP, but an EP with a graduation theme, in order not to be too fragmented in the tonality of the arrangement, Zhou Yi still forked out the "Youth Memorial Book".

Among the four songs, "Stubborn" and "Goodbye" are both pop-rock bases, plus "The Wind Rises" and "Those Years", which are also pop bases, they are okay to match.

has "Poignantly", which has not yet been officially recorded and released, and he can write and sing "Stubborn" and "Goodbye", two songs that are both pop rock, can be regarded as traces.

After tentatively ordering these four songs, Zhou Yi took out his mobile phone and made a call to Qianjiang.

The latter was overjoyed when he learned that Zhou Yi wanted an EP album: "Really fake?!" You didn't lie to me, did Ayi?! ”

In the Chinese music scene, EP albums are actually as bad as compilations, and eight out of ten albums are used by singers or companies to make money.

Judging from Zhou Yi's previous lack of interest in the collection, Qian Jiang had long since given up his mind to persuade him to release a collection of songs and an EP.

I didn't expect Zhou Yi to bring it up by himself.

"Well, I just graduated, so I guess I can say goodbye to my past."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you later. You've just released your second album now, and if you release an EP, how about releasing it in three months? If the EP hits, it may be able to drive up your album sales in three months.

"And three months later, it's the time when this year's graduates are in private contact and have frequent gatherings, and it's just right to sing your song."

It's only late June, and after July, August, and September, the popularity of Zhou Yi's new album is gradually subsiding, and maybe he can rely on EP to bring back another wave of popularity.

"Yes."

Zhou Yi nodded, and then handed over the matter to Qian Jiang to deal with. Instead, he began to study the newly released Shanghai signing venue arrangement.

Just as I was looking at it, the phone suddenly rang -

"Zhou Yi, are you coming to Shanghai for a signing meeting?"

The moment the phone was connected, Chen Hao's slightly surprised voice suddenly came from the earpiece: "I saw Warner's publicity." ”

"Yes, how is it, are you still filming in Shanghai? I'm going to see you when I'm done with my rest? It's been saying it before, but it hasn't been possible because of the change. ”

"I'm still filming Pink Girl in Shanghai, but are you sure you're coming to visit?"

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant: "After you have so many signing sessions, you should have a good rest, and I will go to you when the time comes, so that you don't have to run around." ”

"It's not that you don't know my body, it's very tough, it's just a signing meeting, how can it stump me."

Completely forgetting the previous experience of signing and signing with sour hands, Zhou Yi fell on the sofa and said hardly.

"Yes, yes, your body is the toughest."

Chen Haohao, who was smiling, said with a smile: "Coincidentally, if you come now, Lu Yi and Chen Kun also happen to be filming their cameo scenes." I've heard them say that you've met each other on Treasure Island, and you just happened to get together together. ”

ps: "Youth Memorial Book" is actually more in line with the background and the subsequent plot, but since most of the people who express their dislike, then I will delete this small plot.

I'm sorry for the delay until now.

PS2: But the quality of this song is really not too bad, it is considered to be above the level line.

This is the theme song of many college graduation seasons, because this song is rare for college and high schools.

ps3: I basically take into account the background of the times and the protagonist's own background when choosing songs, such as the lyrics that obviously describe high school life are not suitable for the background of the protagonist's college graduation this year.

There are also songs with obvious directions, such as the song "The Intersection of Phoenix Blossoms".

He graduated in 01 and is still from Peking University, if you want to have a directional flower, it should also be a flower blooming around Peking University or BJ.

No matter how bad it is, it has to be the flower of Jiangxi.

But then the meaning of the phoenix flower language is lost, and the theme of the song loses points.

The protagonist of this song can't be sung in the year of the protagonist's graduation, and his background at Peking University is destined to make his graduation songs this year either generic songs in general terms, or directional songs with obvious BJ logos.
