Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 418

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two left the Minghui Tea House and drove back.

It was already [-] o'clock when we got home, Mingmei was not at home, I guess he would come with Tongtong at night, Yu Dongqing took out the phone from his pocket, only to find that there were several missed calls, one of which was from Xiangjiang Zhou Fanming.

Why is he calling me?
After all, the two of them are not familiar enough to chat on the phone.

But he had already thought of the reason, so he called back, and the call was connected soon.

At this time, because Zhou Fanming was working overtime at night, he specially invited a few subordinates to have dinner at a nearby food stall. Seeing that it was Yu Dongqing's call, he answered it smoothly.

Seeing Zhou Fanming calling, the other people stopped talking.

"Mr. Yu, are you busy recently? I called you at noon and you didn't answer." Zhou Fanming said.

"I'm sorry, I was drinking tea with my friends this afternoon, and the phone was muted." Yu Dongqing apologized.

"It's okay, drink tea, okay, Mr. Xia and I are waiting for you to come to Xiangjiang, let's have afternoon tea together."

"There will be a chance, Director Chou, do you want to ask me for something?"

"It's the three theme songs of the movie. I wonder if you have written the lyrics for the Cantonese version?"

"Actually, I only need one song, right? I'll send you the Cantonese version of the song "Laughing in the Red Dust" in a while." Yu Dongqing said.

Hearing this, Zhou Fanming on the phone got a little anxious.

Do the rest use Mandarin?

He hurriedly said: "One? How about "A Laugh in the Cang Hai" and "Only Remember the Laughter"? You have to write it? The songs you write yourself, the lyrics are the most delicious!"

"Hehe, Jay Chou, those two songs can be sung in Cantonese, see if it works?"

After hearing this, Zhou Fanming hastily said to Xu Changsheng next to him: "Lyrics! Lyrics!"

"Director Zhou, what lyrics?" Xu Changsheng was puzzled.

"It's the lyrics of the song "A Laugh From the Sea"!"

After all, when I am old, I can sing the melody, but I can't remember the words once or twice.

Hearing the boss's words, Xu Changsheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call up the lyrics and handed them to Zhou Fanming.

"you sing!"

"Director Zhou, these are Mandarin words, and I don't know how to speak Mandarin." Xu Changsheng smiled wryly.

"Stupid, sing in Cantonese!"

Mandarin words sung in Cantonese?
What is this?

But the boss speaks, how dare you not sing?

So bit the bullet and sang in Cantonese.

The sea laughs
surging cross-strait tide

Ups and downs with the waves only remember the present
what.
Pronunciation in Cantonese seems to be fine.

It also rhymes smoothly, and it doesn't violate the harmony at all.

"Director Chou, this word can be sung in Cantonese! No need for Mr. Yu to write it!" Xu Changsheng said excitedly.

Zhou Fanming also heard it, and hurriedly took his mobile phone and said: "Mr. Yu, you are really good! You can sing the same song in Mandarin and Cantonese. There is no one before or after. I really admire it."

"Hehe, you're over-reputed, so let's do this."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Yu, I will find a suitable singer to sing this song! As for the copyright transfer of the song, I will follow the old rules!"

"Okay, contact the manager, Ms. Yang, to hold it. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fanming said with emotion.

"Mandarin and Cantonese are excellent! Why don't you say we are from Xiangjiang? Look at the younger generation of songwriters in Xiangjiang. I am really worried that Xia Wenxi's generation is gone, what will happen to Xiangjiang's music?"

Subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, no one can answer.

But Zhou Fanming is not a person who hurts the spring and autumn, he immediately said to Xu Changsheng: "You will immediately arrange singers to sing these two songs when you go to work tomorrow. As for the arrangement, we should follow Mr. Yu's instructions."

"Okay, Jay Chou, I think the song "A Laugh in the Cang Hai" should be sung by the Tongguang Band. They are very suitable for singing such a more atmospheric song."

Zhou Fanming remembered that the Tongguang Band was a rare rock band in the company and even Xiangjiang. The song "Broad Sea and Sky" written by Yu Dongqing became popular two years ago, and later signed a contract with Time Records, a subsidiary of Huanyu.

"Okay, let them sing."

Besides, after Yu Dongqing hung up the phone, she was not hungry, so she went to the study to write the lyrics of the Cantonese version of "Laughing in the Red Dust".

It existed in that time and space.

The song was also composed by Li Zongsheng, but it was not Li Manting from Baodao who wrote the lyrics, but Pan Weiyuan from Xiangjiang. The song was called "Be the Real Me" and was also sung by Chen Shuye.

The lyrics are also very well written:

May the wind be me

wish that month was me

Flying flowers on the willow bottom is me
Sing to wine
be a free and easy me
Yu Dongqing was humming the song while writing, and quickly wrote the lyrics.

While writing, the door opened, and Mingmei came back with Yu Tongtong.

Seeing that the light in the study was on, Mingmei walked in.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't you answer my call?"

"Drink tea and set it to mute, forget to turn it on."

"Oh, have you eaten yet? I'll make it for you."

"No, I'm not hungry after drinking a full stomach of tea."

"How about not eating dinner? How about I order some crayfish for you to deliver?"

At this moment, Yu Tongtong interjected.

"Auntie, order more, my father must be hungry."

I'm hungry?

I guess you are hungry?

Little greedy cat!
Yu Dongqing didn't care either.

"Brother-in-law, are you writing a song?"

Mingmei looked at the lyrics on the computer screen.

"Yes, the lyrics of the Cantonese version of "Laughing in the Red Dust". As for "A Laugh in the Sea" and the song you sang, you can also sing it in Cantonese, so there is no need to change it."

"Actually, my brother-in-law, I really like the lyrics of "Laughing Red Dust", I think it's better than your Cantonese lyrics!"

Do you feel the same way?

Yu Dongqing also felt the same way.

In the original time and space, there were few lyrics in Mandarin that surpassed those in Cantonese.

"If you like "Laughing Red Dust", then you can sing it, anyway, you don't sing Cantonese songs." Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Father, I like the song "Only Remember Today's Smile" sung by my aunt," Yu Tongtong interjected.

Before Yu Dongqing could reply, Mingmei said, "Brother-in-law, online fans of the song "Only Remember Today's Smile" said that the arrangement is not good!"

"Is the composition bad?"

"They said that the contrast between the prelude and the back is too great. The front gives people the feeling that Dongfang Invincible made a domineering debut, but it turned out to be attending a bonfire party."

what?
Yu Dongqing laughed out loud.

There is indeed such a meaning.

"It was supposed to be a bonfire party."

There is a section of the bonfire party in Unbeaten in the East. This song "Laughing Red Dust" is accompanied by the scene of bright and beautiful barefoot playing and singing.The oriental leader in women's clothing is bright, beautiful, and romantic.
Not worse than Brigitte Lin.

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and the crayfish they ordered was delivered, and the three of them started to eat.

In fact, the main reason is that Yu Tongtong ate a lot, but Yu Dongqing ate the least.

Mingmei is also greedy, and worried that she will gain weight if she eats too much, worrying about gains and losses.

"Mingmei, let me tell you something." Yu Dongqing suddenly remembered Li Wan's afternoon invitation, and briefly explained what happened.

"My senior, it's quite interesting." Mingmei smiled after hearing this.
