My wife is in my arms

Chapter 451 The Wind Rises II

I heard my agent say this.

Xu Qingya did not refute, she just complained a bit. In fact, she was well aware of the importance of "The Song of Remembrance", especially since she was sure that if she refused tonight, her cheap older brother would definitely find someone who could play the violin to replace her.

The most difficult part of music is composition.

Once it's created, many people who know how to use instruments will play it.

Just like her older brother's performance of "Night, Fireflies and You" and "Thoughts Across Time" at the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, many piano hobby teachers now post videos teaching children to play these two pieces.

Even so, Zhang You couldn't easily file a lawsuit.

Because no one else used his compositions for purely commercial purposes, by the time the group arrived at Tianyu Entertainment's recording studio, Teacher Yan Zhong was already there.

They also chatted with Zhang You about music.

Sitting in his chair, Teacher Yan Zhong exclaimed, "You... no wonder you can create so many great songs. You take a melody and, through techniques like adjusting the high notes and duration, make it more suitable as the beginning of a song. I never thought of that before!"

"..."

Xu Qingya was stunned.

She immediately regretted arriving late. If she had known that the two were talking about music creation, she should have asked the driver to drive faster so that she could have arrived earlier to listen.

Who knows, it might even inspire some creative ideas.

Unlike before, although she felt quite satisfied with her own songs, they didn't become very popular.

immediately.

She heard Teacher Yan Zhong sigh and ask, then asked again, "And what about your lyric writing?!"

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled and said, "Actually, I don't know much about it either, but since Teacher Yan asked, I'll share my thoughts. Let's just have a simple discussion. To be honest, I've also read about it..."

As he spoke, Zhang You turned to look at Xu Qingya, who had walked in with his manager, and said, "Take Xu Qingya as an example. She has a problem when writing lyrics: she likes to quote classics and historical texts, piecing together a lot of terms. This may seem good, but she forgets that lyrics are not historical narratives, but catalysts for emotions..."

Xu Qingya noticed that Zhang You was using himself as an example.

In the past, she definitely wouldn't have been convinced.

But now she had no complaints. In fact, she was listening very attentively. After all, this guy was also extremely good at writing lyrics, in addition to creating instrumental music. Ning Xiaojie looked at Xu Qingya sitting obediently in the chair, listening attentively, and felt a little approving.

As an agent, she manages several artists.

There are not only singers but also actors, but when it comes to who I like the most, it is undoubtedly Xu Qingya. It's not because she is beautiful or because she has a small chest. Being with her often makes me, an older woman, look more feminine. It's just that she is always learning and is very humble when she encounters people who are more capable than her.

In the entertainment industry, there are many celebrities who are very famous but are actually weak inside and out, and who are very arrogant. Perhaps they won't say anything to your face, but they will still look down on you in their hearts.

And what kind of artist is most favored by agents? It's precisely someone like Xu Qingya, who is humble and always keeps learning. Then, Zhang You continued, "Xu Qingya, I have a suggestion for you. When you write lyrics in the future, don't always focus on ancient poems. It's not that you can't do it, but you need to find a concise and moving way of expression. For example, your song 'Flowers Like Brocade' is clearly taken from Zhang Siwei's 'The Tale of Two Heroes,' so you should have just followed the theme of 'missing each other.' But you spliced ​​in several other ancient poems, and in the end, the main theme was lost, and it was also difficult to sing..."

I wanted to say a few more words.

But when Zhang You took out his phone and saw it was already 8:30, he quickly stood up and said, "Let's record first! We can chat later when we have time." "..."

Xu Qingya, who was listening attentively, looked at Zhang You. She wanted to say that she was not in a hurry, but seeing that Teacher Yan Zhong had also stood up, she had no choice but to stand up as well.

Although Zhang You didn't finish explaining, she still managed to glean some key points from his words. She planned to think about it carefully when she got home tonight. If she still couldn't figure it out... well, she had this cheap older brother's phone number anyway.

Around ten o'clock.

The three of them finally finished recording "The Song of Remembrance," but it wasn't completely over yet. They still needed to find children to record children's voices. After politely declining Zhang You's offer to treat them to a late-night snack, Teacher Yan Zhong left first.

Like Zhang You, she also got married early. The difference is that she had three sons. When Jiang Yiren told him this, Zhang You felt sorry for Teacher Yan Zhong. But then, when he thought of himself... perhaps, a sense of shared misfortune suddenly arose, so Zhang You silently prayed that the singer was still having two daughters.

Zhang You

Ning Xiaojie glanced at Xu Qingya and said with a smile, "Our Qingya is shy and embarrassed to speak up, so let me do it! She wants to sing one of your songs. You have no idea how much Qingya loves your songs, whether it's 'Ask' or 'When Love Has Become the Past,' she's listened to them no less than a hundred times."

"You're asking me to sing a song, right!?"

Zhang You nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, 3.5 million per song."

Xu Qingya, wearing jeans and a long black down jacket, froze, staring at Zhang You in shock. Even Ning Xiaojie looked astonished.

Three and a half million for a song.

This wasn't selling songs; it was ostensibly a robbery. Realizing this, Ning Xiaojie chuckled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Zhang, three and a half million is far too high, and besides... Qingya is your second brother. Asking for such a high price is a bit hurtful."

"Feelings are meant to cause pain; if you don't experience some pain, you can't prove that feelings exist."

Zhang You replied.

"..."

Ning Xiaojie wanted to curse.

This guy really turns his back on people. He calls Xu Qingya "Second Brother" more enthusiastically than anyone else, but as soon as he mentions inviting her to sing, he immediately offers the same price as Rong Lan, and he even has the audacity to say that "relationships are meant to be hurt." If anyone's going to hurt feelings, it's not Xu Qingya's place! He should just go home and hurt Jiang Yiren.

The two are a couple with a deep enough bond, so it's only when they hurt each other that it's so exciting.

Ning Xiaojie nudged Xu Qingya's arm, signaling her to speak. Xu Qingya called out reluctantly, "Big Brother," and then said, "Three and a half million is indeed too high. Can you make it a little cheaper?"

"Second brother"

Zhang You smiled and replied, "Trust me, the one I sold to Rong Lan wasn't my best-kept secret. But you're different. You're my second brother. As long as you give me 3.5 million, I'll immediately give you one of my best-kept secrets."

"Similar to 'Question', right!?"

Ning Xiaojie asked hurriedly.

If it were a song of the quality of "Question," she would have had Xu Qingya buy it, not just for 3.5 million, but even for 5 million.
