In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 156 Fairy Tale Town

Dinner with strangers is usually boring, and it takes a person who can get along with everyone to liven up the atmosphere.

However, there was one person missing from Ji Yu and his friends' dinner table tonight.

Ji Yu could actually be this person, but he is too lazy to take the initiative. Since he can make friends passively, why should he take the initiative to make friends?

The point is that there aren't many people here who are worthy of his initiative.

Although Li Dawei, the director of "The Story of a Noble Family", is a second-generation director, his own ability is average, and there is no good development in the future. His personality is also average. He is also Jiang Qingqing's ex-boyfriend, and he doesn't like her very much.

As for Dong Jie, her affairs had nothing to do with Ji Yu, but it was scary that she could cheat and then turn the tables on him. If she could do that to her husband, what could her friends do to her?

This little girl Shu Chang is quite interesting. She has good acting skills and is a nice person. You can treat her as a friend.

As for Liu Qianqian, I can treat her as an acquaintance. If Lao Cai wants to poach her in the future, I can help her.

There is no need to deliberately make friends with Zhou Xun, the last person left. She came here with a purpose in herself, and she is a friend of a friend, so naturally the relationship should be closer.

Chen Kun knew that Zhou Xun wanted to meet Ji Yu and ask him for help in writing songs, so he arranged for Zhou Xun to sit next to Ji Yu.

Zhou Xun also took the initiative to start a conversation, "Please leave me a few tickets for your concert in Beijing. Your tickets are so hard to get."

"No problem, I'll let Kun'er deliver it to you when the time comes."

Ji Yu glanced at Chen Kun who winked at him, and asked Zhou Xun, "I heard from Kun'er that you are going to release a record?"

"Yes, I have been preparing for a long time."

"You signed with Warner, right? It's a good company, very powerful."

"Warner is indeed good, but you are also very good. You even held up the Rolling Stones."

"Well, it's purely based on strength."

".I thought you were going to say luck."

"One success is called luck, but I have succeeded so many times, how can it be considered luck? Don't be too modest, otherwise others will really think you are a loser."

"Uh that makes sense."

Zhou Xun was really speechless. What he said did make sense. He had such poor resources when he debuted, but he was so successful in the end. He is indeed very talented.

Seeing her in a daze, Ji Yu turned his head and chatted quietly with Teacher Li. He couldn't let him take the initiative to say that he would give Zhou Xun a song. What if Teacher Li misunderstood?

Now that the matter has come to this, if Zhou Xun doesn't bring it up, Ji Yu won't cause trouble for himself.

Chen Kun was so anxious standing by. Didn’t you promise me? Why don’t you take the initiative?

Ji Yu simply ignored the little licker's angry look and complained to Li Xiaoran that the food tonight was not tasty.

Just when he was complaining that the braised pork in Beijing was not as delicious as the one in Shanghai, Zhou Xun suddenly handed him a pair of headphones.

"This is a song I just recorded, called Watching the Sea. Please listen to it and give me some suggestions."

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment. It was so direct. He was still eating.

But Zhou Xun's personality is quite good. Ji Yu reached out to take the headphones and put them on, and also shared one with Li Xiaoran.

When having a girlfriend around, he must be careful about the limits. If he turns the interaction between him and Zhou Xun into an interaction between three people, it will not cause any trouble.

Li Xiaoran took the headphones and an irrepressible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After putting on the headphones, Ji Yu pressed the play button, and Zhou Xun's singing voice immediately came from the headphones.

"The coconut leaf idle on the roadside~~It has a whole day. The sea breeze blows its red face~~It quietly flies to the southeast~~"

It's not as hoarse as I imagined. The voice is very distinctive, with just a little bit of smoky feeling, and the pitch is also very good.

I don't know if it's the tuner's fault, but it sounds really good.

Zhou Xun started out as a bar singer, and used to hang out with Dou Wei and his group. His singing skills were naturally no problem, and if it weren't for smoking and drinking, he would probably have become a pretty good singer.

But this song sounds familiar, a bit like the princess.

Maybe it can be imitated.

The style of this song is very good, with a touch of freshness in the popular style.

Soon the song was over, Ji Yu took off his headphones and couldn't help nodding.

Zhou Xun looked at him expectantly, wanting to know what he thought of the song.

More than half of Warner Records' production team opposed her using this song, thinking it wasn't good.

But she liked this song very much and wanted to make it the theme song.

"How does it feel?" Zhou Xun asked impatiently.

Li Xiaoran also looked at Ji Yu curiously. She felt that Zhou Xun sang very well, but she was not a professional and did not want to show her weakness.

Ji Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Not bad, the rhythm is very natural, the arrangement is very fresh, and your singing style has a quirky flavor."

When Zhou Xun heard this, his eyes lit up and he knew this was a good song!

Ji Yu: “But.”

Zhou Xun: “???” Why can’t I pass? Will you let me pass?

"But it's just passable, not outstanding. It's not the title song, right?"

Ji Yu turned his head to look at her, deliberately giving her a way out, hinting that he could write a hit song for her.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xun didn't realize that his favorite song was just a passing score in other people's eyes. It was very discouraging.

Even though her team didn't support her in the first place, she insisted on using this song as the theme song. Now after hearing what Ji Yu said, she really began to doubt herself.

Seeing her like this, the little licking dog Chen Kun immediately winked at Ji Yu crazily, "What are you doing, kid? Do you want me to attack you?"

Ji Yu gave him a look that showed that he was just telling the truth.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun was only slightly shocked and quickly recovered. He smiled and said to Ji Yu, "I originally planned to use this as the main song, but now I have to find another one."

"Um"

Ji Yu hummed and waited for Zhou Xun's next words, but after waiting for several seconds, nothing came.

Hey, isn't this sister angry?

That would save him a lot of effort and allow him to preserve his own inventory of ditties.

Chen Kun was anxious, so he pulled Zhou Xun and whispered, "You want to ask him to write a song for you? Tell me."

"He doesn't think highly of my level. Forget it." Zhou Xun said somewhat depressed.

Chen Kun glared at Ji Yu angrily, and Ji Yu had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "I have a song that is actually quite suitable for you."

Chen Kun immediately gave him a good friend look.

Zhou Xun was also a little surprised. He looked at Ji Yu and asked, "Really?"

Ji Yu nodded and said, "Really, your singing skills and voice are good, but you just haven't found the right song."

If it weren’t for this kid Chen Kun, Ji Yu would never have taken the initiative to write songs for others!

Zhou Xun was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Ji Yu to think highly of him.

She didn't know what song it was, but she was now eager to find out.

"Can you give it to me? I'm in desperate need of a hit song right now."

Ji Yu smiled and agreed, "No problem, we are all friends."

Everyone at the dinner table had been paying attention to them, and couldn't help but envy Zhou Xun when they heard Ji Yu's words.

Are big stars so relaxed and casual with each other?

Ji Yu is the Asian pop star. How valuable are the songs he wrote? He gave away a song with just a few words? Do we have a chance too?

Dong Jie couldn't help but say, "I also plan to release an album. Can I ask you for advice in the future?"

Ji Yu smiled and nodded to deal with it, but was secretly pinched by Li Xiaoran.

After Dong Jie spoke up, others also started to think about it.

Chen Kun really wanted Ji Yu to write a song for him.

If you are a good actor, you can also sing. Who doesn’t want to be as popular in Asia as Ji Yu?

Not to mention becoming popular in Asia, even becoming popular in mainland China would be great too, singers can make a lot of money!

But he just asked Ji Yu to write a song for Zhou Xun today, so he was embarrassed to ask for a song today.

Liu Qianqian was actually also very excited. Her purpose of entering the entertainment industry was to become a big star!
There is no bigger star in the mainland than Ji Yu right now. He is good at acting and singing!
She just wants to be a superstar like Ji Yu!

She looked at her mother, hoping she could help her speak, but her mother didn't move.

Liu Xiaoli would not speak directly like Dong Jie. She had already seen that Ji Yu and Li Xiaoran had a complicated relationship. Speaking at this time would only make herself embarrassed.

Give him a gift after dinner and build a good relationship with him first.

At this time, because we were talking about singing, everyone started talking about actors turning into singers, and asked Zhou Xun to play the song he just sang for everyone to listen to and learn from!
Zhou Xun had just been told by Ji Yu that he only had a passing score, so he didn't have the nerve to play it out for everyone to hear.

"There's Ji Yu, a great singer here, let him sing!"

Zhou Xun chose to shift the blame mainly because she was curious about the song that Ji Yu said was very suitable for her.

"Yes, yes, yes, Ji Yu, please sing it."

Chen Kun immediately followed suit, without any bottom line!

"I can't sing without even a guitar."

Ji Yu really wanted to show off. He had just said that Zhou Xun's song was just passing, so naturally he had to come up with a song that was above the passing line to show off.

Almost all the people at the table are music laymen, and they can't even tell whether a cappella singing is good or bad!

Hearing Ji Yu say this, Chen Kun immediately volunteered and said, "I have a way, wait for me for a few minutes!"

He also wanted Zhou Xun to hear Ji Yu's songs as soon as possible, in case the album release was delayed.

The little licker has unlimited motivation!

Chen Kun took out his cell phone and made a call. Within ten minutes someone delivered a guitar to him.

Ji Yu really admires him, but he doesn’t know whether what he said about siblings is true or not. They don’t look like that.

He took the guitar and plucked a few notes, then adjusted the pitch before saying, "The guitar is pretty good, I can sing it then."

"applaud!"

Zhou Xun clapped his hands very politely, and the others also shouted, "What a rare opportunity it is for the Asian superstar to perform for them!"
It’s a pity that I can’t record it and show off to others later.

Ji Yu cleared his throat, recalled the tune and lyrics, and then gently plucked the strings.

The song he was going to sing was "Fairy Tale Town", the original work of which was "An Gang", a very special song.

This song is very suitable for Zhou Xun. It requires little singing skill and has a very unique style with a quirky feel.

It sounds light-hearted and playful at first listen, but a little sad when you listen to it again, which fits Zhou Xun's image very well.

Just like her famous work Suzhou River, the passionate and innocent Peony with a ponytail and the free and lonely Meimei with smoky makeup.

One is the innocence and sincerity of fairy tales, the other is the helplessness and depravity of reality.

Ji Yu played the guitar, glanced at Zhou Xun, whose eyes were bright and pure, and sang softly:
"I heard that Snow White is running away and Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the Big Bad Wolf! I heard that the Mad Hatter likes Alice and the ugly duckling will become a white swan!"

As soon as Ji Yu opened his mouth, everyone was surprised. How come his voice became so clear?

The control over the sound is so strong!

The melody is also very nice, with a relaxed and joyful feeling.

The key is that the lyrics are very interesting.

Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian couldn't help but open their eyes wide, feeling that the lyrics were so childlike.

Zhou Xun frowned slightly. Why did she detect a hint of sadness and loneliness in the voice?

The lyrics are obviously very childish and are all about fairy tales, but why do they give her the feeling that an adult is hiding in bed and reminiscing about his childhood?

“There is always a colorful river winding through the fairytale town~~tainted with the perverse breath of magic~~but winding through love!!”

"The endless flow of the river raises the water splashes ~ and a curtain of time is swept into the water!"

Ji Yu lowered his head and played the guitar, his scattered bangs covering his eyes, as if covered with a layer of haze.

After hearing these words, Zhou Xun finally confirmed his feelings.

The melody of this song is very light, but the tone is very sad.

It was Ji Yu who made this song sound lonely and helpless!

Li Xiaoran also heard it. She knew Ji Yu very well and thought that this song might have been written for her.

Ji Yu used to be very happy, just like someone living in a fairy tale, happy and carefree.

She still remembers the day she first met Ji Yu, when he was riding his bike and singing loudly.

But it has been a long time since I saw him singing so freely and carefreely.

Success and fame do not necessarily bring pure happiness.

Both women could hear the sadness in the song, but the others did not. They were just immersed in the different fairy tales in the lyrics.

Chen Kun thought that this word was very casual. What kind of crap was it? It didn't match the style of the literary goddess Zhou Gongzi at all!

I’ll ask Ji Yu to write another one later!
Zhou Xun noticed his expression and shook his head gently at him, telling him not to spoil the fun.

Ji Yu didn't look at anyone else. He played the guitar and sang, thinking about his experiences during this period.

I came to the entertainment industry to make money and to have fun, but it seems that I am not that happy.

The materialistic entertainment industry has made him no longer pure.

Maybe he also needs Little Red Riding Hood's big red robe to prevent herself from turning into a wolf.

"I heard that Sleeping Beauty was buried, the little mermaid was looking at the golden palace, I heard that Apollo turned into a golden crow, there were saber-toothed tigers running on the grassland, I heard that Pinocchio always told lies, and Rumpelstiltskin had a box full of gems! I heard that there was a tree of immortality on the cliff! The red shoes are dancing tirelessly~~"

Ji Yu's voice at this moment began to sound gradually sad, no longer as cheerful as it was at the beginning.

It's like I suddenly grew up one day.

Understand that fairy tales are false and ideals and reality are very far apart!

“There is always a dreamy river winding through the fairytale town~~ It separates the ideal from the reality! And they merge at the mountain pass ahead.”

At this moment, even the most dull-witted person could hear the sadness in Ji Yu's singing, and their emotions were involuntarily influenced by his singing and they became silent.

Only two fifteen-year-old girls were still blinking their big watery eyes with joy.

As Ji Yu finished playing the last syllable, he put down the guitar, looked up and smiled at everyone.

It was clearly a very happy smile, but the adults in the room saw helplessness and themselves in his smile.

Fairy tales are just fairy tales after all.

Ji Yu exhaled lightly, looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "Do you like it?"

Zhou Xun's eyes had changed when she looked at Ji Yu. She really liked this song!
People like it too!
