Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

"Okay, I'll head back to the capital right away!"

Liu Yifei's flash mob has been paused.

It's not that Liu Yifei can't run anymore.

Instead, Zhang Yimou personally invited Liu Yifei to participate in the recording of the Olympic theme song!
The Olympic theme song "Welcome to Beijing," with lyrics by Lin Xi and music by Xiao Ke, has been released to great acclaim.

It is said that the lyrics and music for "Welcome to Beijing" were composed by Lin Xi and Xiao Ke while they were having dinner at a Sichuan restaurant.

After the demo was released, it was quickly decided that 100 celebrities would be invited to participate in the recording of the theme song for the Beijing Olympics.

Liu Yifei was one of the few people Zhang Yimou personally invited by phone.

"Sisi, you've lost weight!"

When Chen Siyuan picked up Liu Yifei at the Capital Airport, he was heartbroken.

Liu Yifei hugged Chen Siyuan's arm, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Isn't that perfect? ​​It saves me the trouble of dieting."

"Take advantage of these few days recording the Olympic theme song and get some rest. Don't schedule any extra activities!"

Chen Siyuan looked at Liu Yifei with a serious expression.

"Okay, Dad, let's go home quickly!"

The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth also curled up.

She still enjoyed Chen Siyuan's care.

When the father and daughter returned home, Liu Xiaoli had already prepared a meal.

"It smells so good! Mom's cooking is the best!"

Liu Yifei showed her support as always.

"Look at you, you've lost weight. If you like to eat, then eat more."

Liu Xiaoli touched Liu Yifei's face with heartache.

If Chen Siyuan hadn't stopped her, Liu Xiaoli would have been prepared to accompany Liu Yifei on trips all over the country.

"Yeah, delicious!"

Liu Yifei enjoyed her meal immensely.

"Sissi, I heard they're inviting 100 celebrities to record the theme song for the Olympics. I bet several people will share a line of lyrics. Who are you going to sing with?"

Liu Xiaoli also found a topic to discuss.

Liu Yifei blinked. "So many people? Director Zhang didn't tell me, but I was assigned a line of lyrics."

"That lyric?"

Chen Siyuan was also somewhat curious.

"Once you've embraced, you'll have a tacit understanding; you'll fall in love with this place."

"They said they wanted to take the photos near the White Pagoda in Beihai Park."

Liu Yifei said with a relaxed expression.

Chen Siyuan was also stunned when he heard this. Good heavens, the Spring Festival Gala replaced Zhang Ziyi's solo, and the Olympic theme song replaced the verse of the little queen Stefanie Sun.

Liu Xiaoli smiled broadly, "Then you'd better prepare well, because the lyrics for these kinds of verses are usually assigned to professional singers."

Chen Siyuan nodded, “The music video for ‘Welcome to Beijing’ is co-directed by three directors: Wang Yingfei, Wang Lingfei, and Zhang Jun. As far as I know, Liu Huan, Na Ying, Sun Yue, Han Hong, Wang Leehom, and Wakin Chau all participated in the recording of the main verses! So you really need to prepare well.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei pumped her fist and exclaimed, "Don't worry, Dad, I definitely won't let you down!"

"I believe you!"

Chen Siyuan raised his hand and gave Liu Yifei a high five.

"Sisi, we can't be careless. Let your dad find you a vocal coach tomorrow."

Liu Yifei never went to Japan to pursue a career as a singer, so Liu Xiaoli was still a little worried.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Chen Siyuan agreed, even though he only sang one line of lyrics. In such an occasion, any flaw would be magnified.

"Thank you dad!"

Liu Yifei is perfectly acceptable.

"I was hoping you could get some rest these few days, but it seems you won't be able to." Chen Siyuan smiled wryly.

"Dad, compared to others, I am actually very happy! I heard that when trainees in South Korea debut, they can only sleep a few hours a day."

"They can't compare to you."

Liu Xiaoli smiled as well.

Indeed, they cannot be compared.

They are the beasts of burden for capital.

Consort Liu Yi is actually the eldest princess!

After finishing their meal, they took a short walk in the courtyard before Liu Yifei was allowed to rest.

Chen Siyuan also urgently hired a highly respected vocal coach for Liu Yifei.

These teachers, surnamed Li, were also members of the Olympic Games opening ceremony directing team.

That teacher also participated in the review and approval of "Welcome to Beijing".

If it weren't for this relationship, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have dared to invite Liu Yifei to teach him.

Hearing that it was for training Liu Yifei to sing "Welcome to Beijing," the teacher readily agreed.

"Teacher Li!"

The next day, Liu Yifei was overjoyed to see the teacher.

This is a national treasure-level teacher!
Teacher Li had a very good impression of Liu Yifei. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before starting the vocal instruction.

First, they assessed Liu Yifei's background.

"Sisi, you have a good foundation. If it's just the lyrics of the Olympic theme song, there's absolutely no problem."

After listening to Liu Yifei's performance, Teacher Li nodded in satisfaction.

Once the lower limit is stabilized, the allocated lyrics can be improved in a targeted manner, and the upper limit can be reached.

Don't underestimate a simple lyric; you need to connect it to the context of the whole song and deeply understand the emotions it conveys!

Liu Yifei's singing skills certainly cannot compare with those of professional singers.

However, Liu Yifei, being an actress, is much better at empathy than a singer.

Teacher Li is a very meticulous person; she will adjust Liu Yifei's words one by one.

You can't scrutinize a song in such detail.

However, since Liu Yifei only had this one line in the Olympic theme song, she could naturally put a lot of effort into perfecting it.

With Teacher Li's meticulous guidance, if it were just this one line of lyrics, Liu Yifei would be a queen of the music scene!
After listening to Liu Yifei sing the entire line, Teacher Li nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good enough. Now let's move on to working on the lyrics for the chorus."

Although Teacher Li is getting on in years, she is full of energy when she has a student like Liu Yifei.

It took me two hours to finally figure out all the lyrics!
"Sisi, are you interested in developing your singing career?"

Teacher Li was also delighted to see such talent.

"Teacher Li, if I ever decide to sing again, I'll definitely come to you!"

Liu Yifei linked arms with Teacher Li and smiled sweetly.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting."

After the training ended, Liu Yifei personally escorted Teacher Li home.

This time, Teacher Li agreed to come and guide Liu Yifei without receiving a single penny!

This is the key to understanding this relationship.

After seeing Teacher Li off, Liu Yifei went to meet the director of the music video for "Welcome to Beijing".

The three directors were also very happy to be able to direct Liu Yifei's music video. After all, she is an international film queen, and at the moment, "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" is showing in theaters. It can be said that there is no one in China with higher popularity than Liu Yifei.

However, before filming the music video, Liu Yifei had to go to the recording studio to record her part.

At the same time, a confidentiality agreement must be signed to prevent the lyrics from being leaked.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting to record. (End of Chapter)
