The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 581 Boomerang

"When did this happen?" Xu Jiuyang asked calmly.

"Isn't the report supposed to have a timeframe? Just push it back yourself." Da Mimi spread her hands.

“You guys always come together, but you’re the only one who often comes alone, so…” Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

Yang Mi sighed: "We estimated that it was about a month ago when we were discussing the 'Great Tang Poet Immortal' album. You were incredibly excited that night."

“Hmm…” Xu Jiuyang suddenly ran out of words.

As mentioned before, because Da Tian Tian's ancient style album sold exceptionally well under his design, Liu Qian Qian and Da Mi Mi also wanted him to write songs and release albums.

Xu Jiuyang naturally refused. Although it seemed that it didn't take much time to put together this ancient-style album for Jing Tian, ​​it actually took a lot of effort.

Plagiarism is not all the same. If it were other singers, such as Fu Ying and Lan Feilin, they could just leave it at that once they provided the lyrics and music, and the rest would be their own responsibility.

But Da Tian Tian's ancient style album can't be like that. Nowadays, popular songs don't just rely on lyrics to attract listeners; the arrangement also plays a very important role.

In addition, Xu Jiuyang also plans to take this opportunity to define the ancient style album - similar songs on the market are now called Chinese style, represented by Fei Lun. Ancient style is to be separated out. In the past, it was the result of the efforts of many enthusiasts for more than ten years.

Therefore, he had to listen to every version that Da Tian Tian recorded, and if there was anything slightly wrong, he would send it back to be re-recorded.

He wasn't a professional music producer after all, so it was hard for him to explain what was wrong and how it needed to be changed. So he could only explain as much as possible and then re-record it again and again.

This is also what Xu Jiuyang admires about Da Tiantian; she really accompanied him through repeated recordings without a single complaint.

Of course, in hindsight, all her efforts have been worthwhile.

So when Liu Qianqian and Da Mimi insisted on making a traditional Chinese style album and asked him to help write songs and produce it, he naturally declined.

Unfortunately, Liu Qianqian now has special moves to target him, and Da Mimi is cooperating very well. They both seem determined to achieve their goal, so Xu Jiuyang came up with a plan.

“I admit that you’ve all auditioned for the song ‘Visiting the Old Friends’ before, and you were all passable. With more practice, you could reach their level. But just because you can do it doesn’t mean that Tangtang and Shishi can. I’ll make a song for them, and if they sing it well, I’ll consider making an album for you.” That’s what he said at the time, and then he turned around and handed “Tang Dynasty Love Song” to Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.

This is also a traditional Chinese style song that has stood the test of time. The reason it wasn't given to Da Tiantian is partly because it's a duet, and if it were actually made, Da Tiantian would definitely want him to sing along, which wouldn't be appropriate.

On the other hand, it's because this song has been ruined by online trolls. Whenever there's a related video, people will comment with things like "a song of prosperity and decline," which is quite inexplicable.

There are several other ancient-style songs of similar quality to "Spring Snow in the Courtyard" and "Visiting an Old Friend," which have also stood the test of time, but they were not given to Da Tiantian, and that is also for this reason.

Therefore, now is the perfect time to make things difficult for them.

"Tangtang, lower your voice a bit and sing with a masculine feel; Shishi, raise your voice a bit and sing with a Peking Opera feel. I don't expect you to sing exceptionally well, but at least it should sound good." He said that at the time.

This all happened at the beginning of this year. I thought I had gotten rid of the trouble, but a month ago, the four of them came to my door again and gave me the demos that Tang Yan and Liu Shishi had recorded.

Surprisingly, they actually sang quite well.

It can't compare to the original, but it's listenable, and it even has its own unique style.

Even when Tang Yan lowered her voice, it still didn't sound like a male voice, but it blended quite well with Liu Shishi's opera singing. Individually, it was barely acceptable, but together they could be considered above average.

“My grandfather used to sing Xihe Dagu, and I also practiced my voice for a while. I also studied storytelling, so I have some basic skills!” Liu Shishi said this with a very cute and proud look.

To be honest, Xu Jiuyang was quite surprised and also impressed. These actresses born in the 85s actually had some talent. If it weren't for the trend of the times, when all film and television capital chose to stagnate, their achievements would have been even greater.

Well, that's how it seems right now.

In short, he was pleased with their performance and let them stay overnight, never expecting the boomerang to hit him a month later. "So, what... what do they plan to do?" Xu Jiuyang asked after thinking for a moment.

"Of course, we'll give birth... Wait, you don't want them to miscarry, do you?" Da Mimi squinted her eyes.

"What are you saying!" Xu Jiuyang glared at her, annoyed. "You know what I'm asking."

Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, you should ask Qianqian yourself. If I don't convey the message clearly, then it will be my problem."

Xu Jiuyang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Alright, shall we go to your place first?"

To keep it a secret, he drove to Yang Mi's place without even bringing an assistant.

Upon arrival, before even entering the door, Xu Jiuyang paused, because the maid who came out to greet him looked quite familiar.

"Saeko, where are they?" Da Mimi asked first.

"The ladies are all playing games in the recreation room," the maid said, bowing, then glanced hesitantly at Xu Jiuyang.

"What else? Just say it," Yang Mi said immediately.

"Miss Sissi said that if Mr. Xu arrives, please inform her first," the maid replied honestly.

"Then you should go and inform her first," Yang Mi said after glancing at Xu Jiuyang.

However, before the maid could move, someone spoke up: "Wait a moment."

He frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and after several seconds asked, "How did you recognize me?"

Da Mimi almost rolled her eyes. She thought you were going to ask something, but after thinking for so long, you were just thinking about these strange things?
Although Xu Jiuyang noticed it, he didn't take it to heart. He just looked at the maid, who immediately bowed and replied, "Before we start our jobs, we will get to know Mr. Xu through his photos."

"Okay, I understand." He took a deep breath and waved for the other person to go in and inform them first.

"I thought you knew," Yang Mi said, tilting her head as she looked him over.

"Of course I know," Xu Jiuyang said calmly.

"Then why did you ask?" Yang Mi asked, puzzled.

“Because I want to ask.” Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

He naturally wouldn't tell her that it was by asking her a few more questions that he was able to determine who she was through careful observation, even though she had already called out his name.

After all, Ms. Saeko's face is indeed very distinctive. Just like Yu Feihong, she looked like she was 25 to 30 years old when she was 17 or 8, and she still looks like she is 25 to 30 when she is 40.

As for why Liu Qianqian gave that explanation, it's obvious from her knee. If the examination report hadn't been there, she wouldn't have rushed over so eagerly. She could have just asked Da Mimi to help comfort Tangtang and Shishi.

"No way, are you going to back out at the last minute?" Da Mimi asked with a half-smile.

Then his head was flicked, and he involuntarily let out a "whoosh".

"Don't just stand there at the door, hurry up and go inside." The person walked inside leisurely.

Yang Mi rubbed the spot where she had been flicked, snorted silently, and followed behind him.
