Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 78 077 "In the key of D, the last paragraph needs to be raised by an octave." (seeking to follow up)
"Father, why did you come back before lunch is ready? Has the water in the cornfield been drained?" In his own kitchen, a peasant woman in a floral shirt was busy.

She watched Yu Hongguang hurried into the yard carrying a hoe, and hurriedly greeted him.

She is Yu Hongguang's daughter-in-law: Zhang Qiaoling.

"Finish, I have something to discuss with you, so you come out." Yu Hongguang put the hoe by the verandah and said to the kitchen.

"What's the matter? Can't you tell me what to eat?" Zhang Qiaoling muttered over and over again, wiped her hands on her apron, and left the kitchen.

"Just now, Dongwa, the boss's son called me and asked me to go to Yanjing to sing a song."

"What?!"

Yu Hongguang explained the whole process.

"Tell me, is Dongwa's words reliable?" Zhang Qiaoling couldn't make up her mind.

"I don't think Dongwa can coax you? This kid has been honest since she was a child." Yu Hongguang took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and smoked, and continued: "Besides, if the song is good, it will cost 1 yuan."

1 yuan.

Although life in the countryside is now rich, 1 yuan is not a small amount.

"Then you go!"

Zhang Qiaoling decided.

"The bag of water from the valley?"

"Go after the work in the field!"

After hearing what his wife said, Yu Hongguang silently picked up the hoe again and walked out of the village.

Yu Dongqing received a call from his third uncle Yu Hongguang that night, saying that he could come to Yanjing, but it would take a few days until the water in the Baogu field was drained before he could leave.

"Okay, no hurry, San San, call me when you leave, and I will pick you up at the train station." Yu Dongqing replied very readily.

As soon as she went to work the next day, Yu Dongqing approached Wu Lan and said that she was going to invite her third uncle to sing this song. Wu Lan was very surprised when she heard it, and Yu Dongqing explained the reason.

Wu Lan thought for a while before agreeing, but she also put forward a condition: "Holly, if the effect of your third uncle's singing is not satisfactory, then don't ask someone else to sing, and let Tang Guang sing!"

"Okay!" Yu Dongqing readily agreed.

As long as the third uncle is willing to come.

That high-pitched singing is no worse than that of Lin Zixiang in the original time and space.

That being the case, Yu Dongqing waited peacefully for her third uncle to come to Yanjing, but she waited for Lu Yongru's call before hearing back.

"Holly, Zhang, head of the Central National Orchestra, saw you writing a song and appreciated it very much. He thought it was a bold attempt to combine ancient traditional music with modern pop songs! So they agreed to our request and would like to invite you to have a song that day. It’s time to go to the troupe and talk about some ideas face to face.”

Ah?
Agreed so soon?
Yu Dongqing was also very happy.

"I have time every day, let Commander Zhang decide." Yu Dongqing replied.

"Then set it at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, in Room 302, Zhongle Building. Captain Zhang is waiting for you."

"oK!"

Two days later, after getting off work in the morning, Yu Dongqing asked Wu Lan for leave to explain the situation, and then went back home, changed a set of clothes after dinner, and then drove straight to Zhongle Building.

Zhongle Building is located on Xiaoying Road, QU, Chaoyang. Yu Dongqing drove there and met Zhang Chao, head of the orchestra, accompanied by Lu Yongru in the head's office on the third floor.

Zhang Chao looks very elegant in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He is also a national first-class actor and erhu player.

After we introduced each other, we chatted.

"Mr. Yu, I really didn't expect that ancient Chinese music can be adapted in this way, and it can be combined with modern pop songs so perfectly, which is admirable!" Zhang Chao praised.

"Teacher Zhang, you are too much." Yu Dongqing looked very modest:
"Our country has a large number of excellent traditional and excellent music works, which have been shelved due to various reasons. Many people, especially young people, have never heard of them. I want to present them in this way so that young audiences can hear them and like to listen to them. I think This is a useful attempt, of course I am just throwing bricks to attract jade."

"Hehe, Mr. Yu, you are too modest. I heard from Director Lu that you also wrote a song "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" which is a combination of traditional Huangmei opera singing and modern pop songs. The market response is good." Zhang Chao said.

"This is also an attempt, and the effect is not bad. If there is a suitable one in the future, I will continue to create in this area."

"Mr. Yu, if you have similar creations in the future that can be used by our orchestra, feel free to speak up!" Zhang Chao finally said.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Yu Dongqing was overjoyed.

With the accompaniment of the best Chinese orchestra in the country, the singing effect of many ancient songs will be better, which is what he wishes for.

The three exchanged pleasantries again. Zhang Chao said that the troupe is organizing people to step up rehearsals and performances. It is estimated that it will be mature in a few days and they can perform publicly.

"By the way, Mr. Yu, Director Lu, have you found a suitable singer for this song?" Chao Zhang asked with concern.

"Jinye Records is responsible for this matter, you ask Dongqing." Lu Yongru replied with a smile.

"Find a suitable candidate, that is my third uncle." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Your third uncle? Also a singer?!" Not to mention Zhang Chao was surprised, even Lu Yongru was curious.

I stayed with Yu Dongqing in Huairou for more than ten days, and knew that he was a child from the countryside. His family's grandparents were farmers for generations, and he had never heard of him having a third uncle who could sing!

"No, he is a farmer and works in my hometown." Yu Dongqing explained.

"Farmer?!" The two were completely dumbfounded.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to briefly talk about his third uncle singing Huayin's old tune in his hometown, and said that his third uncle had agreed to leave for Yanjing immediately.

Zhang Chao and Lu Yongru looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After the next chapter, Zhang Chao pondered and said: "I have heard the Huayin old tune. The singer must have a high-pitched and powerful voice, which is indeed in line with the singing method of this song "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening". Mr. Yu, what key can your third uncle sing with a high voice?"

Yu Dongqing thought for a while: "In the key of D, the last verse should be raised by an octave."

what? !

Zhang Chao was taken aback. The key of D was already high, but it was going to be raised an octave in the end? !

"It's so high, can he sing up to it without falsetto and real tones?!" Zhang Chao couldn't help asking.

"should be no problem."

You must know that in the original time and space, Lin Zixiang sang this song in the key of D!Finally, it is raised abruptly by an octave!
"How about this, when your third uncle arrives in Yanjing, let him come to our group to have a try first." Zhang Chao said after a moment of pondering.

Still don't believe it.

But it's no wonder, how many people in this world can only sing so high?
Most importantly, no falsetto!

While the three of them were talking, Yu Hongguang, who was thousands of miles away, stepped on the high-speed train bound for Yanjing with a huge old travel bag on his back.

Before leaving, he deliberately changed into a new suit, white shirt and blue trousers, and polished the leather shoes that he seldom wore.

Since you are going to Yanjing, you should dress better, right?You can't embarrass your nephew.
