Chapter 248 Uneasy
The night breeze blows in the face, taking away the fatigue of the day, making people feel extremely relaxed and comfortable, and the air is filled with the tranquility and beauty of the night.
The two people sitting on the bench cuddled together, enjoying the silence that belonged to them alone.
Lin Zhixing kneaded the little hands in his palms, turned around and asked, "Ziji, your birthday is in a week. Is there any gift you want?"
Song Ge raised his head with a squinted smile and asked, "You remember my birthday very clearly!"
"Do you think I will forget?"
"No, I know the code to open the RV is my birthday."
Lin Zhixing smiled and asked, "What gift do you want, or where do you want to go?"
Song Ge pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I just want a rose as a gift. As for where I want to go... I want to ride the Jincheng Eye Ferris Wheel. I used to pass by there after working part-time, really. So beautiful, so beautiful.”
"no problem."
Lin Zhixing raised his hand and scraped the bridge of her nose lovingly, "I'm completely satisfied!"
…
On the way back hand in hand, the two of them were attracted by a male street singer by the river. The melody played by the acoustic guitar connected to the stereo was particularly familiar.
"If you have too many complaints about the world"
“If you fall, don’t dare to move forward.”
The street singer sang the song "Daoxiang", and the sound was pretty good. Several passers-by were surrounded by them.
"Dove, it's my song!"
It was rare to encounter such a scene. Lin Zhixing became interested, came to the street singer with a pursed smile, and pointed to the standing microphone in front of him.
The street singer turned around with a surprised look on his face. He nodded and took a step back to give up his position.
Lin Zhixing took a step forward, grabbed the microphone, nodded and sang.
"Remember you said home is the only castle"
"As the Daoxiang River continues to run"
When the onlookers didn't see Lin Zhixing's handsome face clearly.
Passerby: "The singing is really good, just like the original singer."
When they see it clearly.
Passerby: “Oh yeah!”
"This guy can sing for the rest of his life!"
There were originally three or five people watching, but in the blink of an eye they were surrounded by people who were screaming in surprise.
Some people didn't understand before why "Singing the World" was recorded in China, unlike foreign reality shows on the streets.
Now they understand.
Based on Lin Zhixing's popularity, he might not even be able to walk out of a street in China for a day.
…
…
Two days later.
Yida Records, recording room.
"She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land"
"One step and one sentence is lovesickness"
"The people in the audience are on the gold list."
"I never recognized my old acquaintance on stage"
The melodious singing voice was in the recording studio. Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen were sitting in front of the console wearing headphones. Dong Chen held a copy of the lyrics in his hand and looked through the glass at the members of the 416 literary girl group who were singing hard. He was so surprised that he shook his head repeatedly.
"Fuck!"
When they speak, they are the quintessence of the country, and when they speak, they are also the quintessence of the country.
Some pop songs are dramatic for the sake of drama, and they add a dramatic line in a position that is not suitable for drama at all. It is extremely unpleasant to listen to.
This song, paired with their singers, is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow.
When Dong Chen was a child, he didn't like the elders in his family to switch to the opera channel. He always felt that babbling was boring. Now that I hear the combination of opera and pop music, I understand why the ancients liked to listen to music and marry actors under the name Dan.
"Let's change it!"
Lin Zhixing communicated with the girls in the recording studio through the microphone, "We will sing the chorus directly at the beginning, because considering the short video form of promotion, we must catch the ears of netizens in the shortest possible time."
The five girls made an OK gesture.
"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, raining rain after a long drought, night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and naming names on the gold medal list."
Dong Chen murmured, turned around and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, did you write this song about the four great joyous events in ancient times?"
Lin Zhixing shook his head.
The lyrics of this song incorporate too much poetic content or allusions into it, so it’s normal for him not to understand.
"Actually, the story told by the song is in the title. As the name suggests, "Exploring the Window" depicts a woman looking out the window to see the lover who misses her lover. She is named in the gold medal list. The woman makes a living on the stage, and they meet again, but they are speechless. , I can only use the lyrics in the opera to express the sorrow in my heart."
Dong Chen gave a thumbs up after hearing this, "No wonder there is sadness in it. It is also a nine-year compulsory education. Brother Lin, you are so outstanding!"
Lin Zhixing waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Just now you mentioned the four great happy events in ancient times, do you know what the four great tragic events in ancient times are?"
Dong Chen shook his head, "There are four other tragic events? I've never heard of them."
Lin Zhixing smiled and explained: "The four great tragedies in ancient times are meeting an old friend in a foreign land - a creditor, a drop of rain after a long drought, a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room - next door, and the name on the gold medal - the same name."
"Hahaha, laugh to death!"
…
"OK, very, very good!"
After two hours of careful consideration every word, Lin Zhixing was very satisfied with the performance of the girls from the 416 literary girl group.
"Thank you Brother Lin for your dedication to us!"
The five girls smiled brightly and bowed in thanks.
"you are welcome."
Lin Zhixing pointed at Dong Chen next to him and said: "Are you ready for the Hanfu? In a moment, I will ask your brother Dong Chen to go back to school with you and shoot a video for you. His video is very good. Later, I will help you promote it on Weibo. Let’s send the video out on time at eight o’clock in the evening.”
"OK."
The five girls nodded enthusiastically, full of expectations for the work.
After leaving the recording studio, Lin Zhixing took out his mobile phone and edited a Weibo post.
[Have you not heard enough of "One Night in Peking"? At 8 o'clock tonight, the Chinese style song "Exploring the Window" composed by me will be released on the short video platform. Everyone is welcome to listen. 】
After posting on Weibo...
Lin Zhixing couldn't help but think of Teacher Guo's words. For cross talk to be carried forward, at least there must be people who listen to it. For Peking Opera to be passed down, it must be sung first.
I hope these girls will at least open the door for some people to re-examine Peking Opera.
…
…
At seven o'clock in the evening.
"How about Brother Lin?"
Dong Chen showed the edited short video to Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing read it twice and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, the filming was really good. You must have a share of the credit for making it popular."
Dong Chen rubbed his chin and thought: "Brother Lin, do you think that after this kind of song becomes popular, can the quintessence of Chinese culture really be revived?"
"Not sure."
Lin Zhixing shook his head and said: "I think if the quintessence of Chinese culture wants to be revived, it must seize the young people's market. They don't like the original expression of opera at all. It has to be like this, first integrate into the popular culture bit by bit, and slowly There is no doubt that the only way to capture people’s hearts is to listen to them beautifully. Once they like it, then promote the authentic Chinese essence.”
"Yeah, indeed."
Dong Chen nodded, "I don't know if it's possible, but it's the only way. We'll know after we leave."
…
7:50 p.m.
Peking Opera Academy.
Female dormitory 416.
The five girls stood in front of the screen, filled with anticipation and fear. Lin Zhixing's Weibo account increased their account number by 80,000 followers.
So many people are waiting to hear it with great expectations, and they are afraid that the song will not be liked by everyone.
At the same time, as the only person who successfully auditioned for Good Luck Studio, countless colleagues are also waiting for the release of this song. If the song does not make any waves, they will definitely be ridiculed.
What exactly will be the result?
In the uneasy mood of the five girls.
——The song "Exploring the Window" was released on time.
