Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 208 "Pearl of the Orient"

In addition to last year's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards will also issue individual awards such as the most popular male singer and female singer.

Soon the award presenters read out the first award in Cantonese: "Last year, one of the top ten Golden Melody Awards was "A Lang's Love Song". Please, Ms. Jesusa, please!"

Amidst the warm applause, Wu Jingqi walked up elegantly with a long dress, and took the trophy handed by the host. Wu Jingqi said: "First of all, I would like to thank my owner, Lixing Records, my family, and my family. I would also like to thank Mr. Yu Dongqing for writing such a good song."

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Yu Dongqing to sing this song "A Lang's Love Song" with me!"

"Papa papa" There was another warm applause in the venue.

What the hell!

It turned out that she was the one who led her into the army.

Seeing the girl walking towards him with a smile, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to stand up and meet her.

"Thank you Ms. Jesusa for letting me sing this song with her, but my Cantonese accent is not very accurate, please forgive me."

Yu Dongqing speaks standard Mandarin.

The two discussed in a low voice, Wu Jingqi nodded towards the band, and immediately the familiar melody sounded:
水汪汪 的 黑眼睛 多 亲善
The change in your face hasn't changed in your mind
Yu Dongqing's slightly hoarse voice sounded in the venue.

Cantonese, authentic Cantonese
You actually said that you can't speak Cantonese well? !

Followed by Wu Jingqi's soft female voice:
"The light old days fly by quietly

Countless years disappear like smoke in a dream

The two sang together, and naturally held hands and sang duet.

One firm and one soft, sing this song affectionately.

After the two finished singing, warm applause broke out again in the venue.

Yu Dongqing bowed to the audience, and was about to go down, but was stopped by the smiling host.

The host is called Chen Nianxiang, a well-known host in Hong Kong and a former singer. He is characterized by funny poisonous snakes. He looked at Yu Dongqing with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, can I ask you a question?"

"please say."

"Mr. Yu, is this your first time in Xiangjiang?"

this?

Yu Dongqing could only nod her head.

"May I ask how you feel about Xiangjiang?"

Yu Dongqing thought for a while and replied: "Xiangjiang is the Pearl of the Orient of our country. I believe that Xiangjiang will have a better tomorrow!"

Pearl of the Orient!

Chen Nianxiang's eyes lit up

This is the first time someone called Xiangjiang that!
But so apt.

Yu Dongqing thought this was the end, but Chen Nianxiang suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Yu, do you like Xiangjiang?"

Can you say you don't like it?

"I like it." Yu Dongqing replied with a smile.

"You are a famous musician in the Mainland. Since you like Xiangjiang so much, can you write a song for Xiangjiang now?"

"Now?" Yu Dongqing frowned slightly.

"The ancient Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps, and Mr. Yu is very talented. I don't think it is difficult? Of course, if you can't complete a complete poem, you can sing a few lines." Chen Nianxiang laughed.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

Wu Jingqi in the audience was anxious when she heard this.

Every time in this kind of occasion, there are hosts who are difficult to be guests, but most of them are just making jokes, which is harmless.

But it is rare to see people who are forced to write songs like this today.

Is it because Yu Dongqing is from the mainland?
Xia Wenxi next to him also frowned slightly.

This Chen Nianxiang, what kind of plane is he doing? !

Zhang Jiaming, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

"Daluzi, are you deflated?"

"Mingzi, isn't Xiangzi going too far? How can you treat Mr. Yu like this?" The female singer sitting next to him said in a low voice.

"It's not too much, is it? Mr. Yu is the No. 1 songwriter in the mainland. To him, this is just a child's lesson." Zhang Mingjia said deliberately: "Look, he will sing soon."

The female singer is a little unbelievable.

This is almost a propositional composition.

Write a poem about Xiangjiang.

This kind of song is not about love, it is the most difficult to write.

Mr. Xia and Mr. Liu have lived in Xiangjiang for decades and have never seen such a song written!
Yu Dongqing squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the dumpy host with a smile all over her face.

Make things difficult on purpose?

Grass.
But you hit the iron plate this time!

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly

"I'm not Cao Zhi, and I don't have the ability to write poems in seven steps. However, when I visited Victoria Harbor with Ms. Wu Jingqi last night and saw the brightly lit Xiangjiang Night, I suddenly came up with inspiration. Today I will sing him out to share with everyone. The song It's called "Pearl of the Orient"

After speaking, Yu Dongqing sat in front of the piano beside the stage, opened the piano cover and began to play.

Amidst the majestic and atmospheric music, Yu Dongqing slowly sang.

"The river bends to the south
Stay in Xiangjiang to have a look

Pearl of the Orient
my sweetheart
Is your style still romantic
"Pearl of the Orient" written and composed by Luo Dayou!
The melody is timeless and stretched.
It turned out to be the traditional Chinese pentatonic scale!
The lyrics are magnificent and full of deep love for this land.
Chen Nianxiang was stunned.

Wu Jingqi was stunned.

Even Zhang Mingjia, who was about to watch the joke just now, was stunned.

Really wrote a song!

Although Zhang Mingjia looks down on Mandarin, he has to admit in his heart that this is a good song.

"Wow Mingzi, you are right, Mr. Yu is really amazing!" The female singer next to her looked excited.

"Lost your mother!"

Zhang Mingjia really wanted to curse at this moment, but he managed to keep a smile on his face, and echoed:
"Yes, Mr. Yu is really talented, I admire it very much"

"Papa papa" Xia Wenxi, who was sitting in the front row, took the lead in applauding, and the venue suddenly burst into applause.

This year's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards came to a successful conclusion, but the biggest winner was not the singer who won the Top Ten Golden Songs, nor Wu Jingqi who won the Best Female Singer of the Year, but Yu Dongqing, a musician from the mainland.

In the concert, "Pearl of the Orient" shocked everyone with its beautiful melody and poetic lyrics, suppressing all the limelight of Xiangjiang's top ten golden songs.

After the meeting, someone commented on the Internet: "Although Yu Dongqing sang Mandarin instead of traditional Cantonese, this song alone is enough to make Xiangjiang proud."

After the ceremony, Yu Dongqing got rid of the entanglement of the reporters, and was about to leave but was stopped by several people. The leader was in his early 50s with a big back, full of momentum.

Yu Dongqing recognized him as Zhou Fanming, the president of Xiangjiang Huanyu TV Station. He had seen this boss on TV news.

"Mr. Yu, you are so talented, do I have something to discuss with you?"

Yu Dongqing didn't know what this boss would discuss with his younger brother, but he still said very politely: "Please tell me."

"We, Huanyu Film and Television, are preparing to shoot a martial arts TV series, and I would like to ask you to be a martial arts instructor."

Wu Jingqi who was standing next to him must have been extremely surprised, and couldn't help interjecting: "Mr. Zhou, you ask Mr. Yu to be your martial arts instructor? Does he know martial arts?"

"Hehe, Ms. Jesusa, you don't know something. Last year, there was a martial arts drama called "Wulin Heroes" that hit the mainland. The martial arts moves in it were novel and chic. , the Wuzhi who is present is indeed Mr. Yu, and that Mr. Liu is only his registered apprentice, right Mr. Yu?"

Understand so clearly?
Yu Dongqing didn't deny it either, just said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I only do music now, and I don't plan to be a martial arts instructor anymore."

Zhou Fanming was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say much, he just said that if Mr. Yu is interested, he can come to me anytime, and then he gave him a very beautiful business card before leaving.
