Entertaining Children

Chapter 53: Insects Fly

Speaking of this song "Insects Flying", it was Xiao Yao's first complete song that Xiao Siqi heard. The appearance of this song is also a certain coincidence.

It was the fourth filming of "Where Are We Going, Dad", and the location was in the tropical rainforest. On the first night, everyone who completed all the shooting had already slept in the tent. Xiao Yao, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, came back but woke him up softly and pulled him out, and then quietly woke up Sun Zhihao and Sun Tingting, father and daughter. When the three sleepy-eyed people were puzzled by Xiao Yao and Monk Zhang Er, Xiao Yao took them to the water's edge some distance from the campsite, and a group of flying fireflies immediately made the three of them sleepless. Excited, Sun Tingting immediately threw herself into the pile of fireflies, because Sun Zhihao rushed over to protect her daughter's safety because she was by the water. Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao and his son just sat down on the side, quietly watching Sun Tingting dancing among the fireflies.

After about ten minutes, Xiao Siqi suddenly heard Xiao Yao singing softly:

"The black sky hangs low

bright stars follow

bugs fly bugs fly

who are you missing

the stars in the sky cry

Withered roses on the ground

cold wind blowing cold wind blowing

as long as you are with me

Bugs fly, flowers sleep

One pair after another is beautiful

Not afraid of the dark, only afraid of heartbreak

Tired or not

It doesn't matter whether it's north, south, east, or west..."

It sounds good, this was Xiao Siqi's first reaction, so he didn't interrupt, and quietly listened to Xiao Yao finish singing. Never heard of it, this was Xiao Siqi's second reaction, and then he looked at Xiao Yao. He quickly went through the song he sang in his mind. It is a very short song, which seems to be sung in less than two minutes, but there are obviously two verses and one chorus in it, which fits the most common song structure he taught Xiao Yao to write. Think about the lyrics again, insects fly? Xiao Siqi turned his head and saw the fireflies flying around Sun Tingting. Xiao Yao made this on the spot? Definitely, didn't run away. Because Sun Zhihao and Sun Tingting were still present, Xiao Siqi kept quiet. However, after returning home from the shooting, Xiao Siqi immediately wrote out the music and lyrics in his mind, and asked Xiao Yao the name of the song. Xiao Yao was also looking at the beautiful scene of a bunch of fireflies flying, and remembered the scene of Nie Feng and Kong Ci watching fireflies in Jianzhong in the movie "Fengyun" in his previous life, and hummed the famous song in his previous life. "Insects Fly". Unexpectedly, Xiao Siquan beside him memorized all of them. Due to the long time of learning lyrics and music creation with Xiao Siqi, coupled with the length of the song, the melody and lyrics are relatively simple, Xiao Siqi believed that this song was composed by him on the spot at that time.

In this world there is no Lin Xi, Chen Guangrong, nor Fengyun and Yi Mian, so it is no big deal to recognize the creator of this song, so Xiao Yao shamelessly told Xiao Siqi that the name of the song is "Cong Er Fei".

It is never Xiao Siqi's character to hide something good. Although this song is simple, the melody and lyrics are quite artistic. ***** thought about posting it.

But it’s just such a song, not to mention an album, it’s impossible to release an EP, even if it’s a single, the song is only over a minute long even with the prelude, it seems that it’s not very easy to do. In the end, Xiao Siqi thought of his new album, so he came up with the idea of ​​adding it as a bonustrack to his new album. Xiao Yao naturally had nothing to do with this, but he refused Xiao Siqi's request to record and sing. According to his idea, this song is most suitable for a group of children to sing together, and he doesn't want to just join in the fun as a part of the chorus.

The album began to be recorded step by step. Regarding the song "Insects Flying", Shen Yinan agreed with Xiao Siqi's decision to use it as a bonus track, but he still felt that it was Xiao Siqi's album after all,

It is not suitable for children to sing all of them. It is suggested that Xiao Siqi sing the first verse solo, and then let the children sing the second verse and chorus. Xiao Siqi tried it out, and it seemed that there was no sense of disobedience for an adult singing this song, and the effect was not bad, so he agreed to Shen Yinan's proposal.

The album was successfully produced according to the plan, and entered the stage of publicity and charting as usual. Since it's a bonus track, it's impossible for it to be the title track of the album. Neither Xiao Siqi nor the record company arranged for "Insects Fly" to hit the radio charts. However, Xiao Siqi's new album after a year is also of a very high standard. Although it is not as popular as last year's "The Most Beautiful", the quality of the two title songs is also good, and the results on the charts are also reasonable. "Where" has accumulated popularity, especially this album has many works of different styles, which is also a very gimmick publicity point. The sales prospects of the entire album are very promising, and it is generally believed that at least it will not be lower than the previous one.

Since he had a collaboration with Xiao Siqi, or more precisely, through Xiao Siqi and XY, Cao Zhongyun also paid attention to Xiao Siqi's release of a new album. After the album was released, Cao Zhongyun immediately bought an album and listened to it. Cao Zhongyun thought the twelve songs in the main selection of the album were not bad, but when he heard the last song "Conger Fly" by bonustrack, his eyes lit up. I took a look at the CD box, and found that the name of the songwriter of the last bonus track was not Xiao Siqi, but the mysterious XY. Cao Zhongyun smiled, picked up the phone beside him...

"What? Cao Zhongyun wants to buy the copyright of the song again? Which song? "Conger Fly"? What's the situation?...Well, okay, I'll discuss it with XY and get back to you. Thank you, sister Xu." Xiao Siqi hung up the phone, He looked jealously at his son who was practicing playing the piano.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao stopped and looked at his father strangely.

"Oh," seeing Xiao Yao stop, Xiao Siqi sorted out his emotions, and then said to Xiao Yao: "Mr. Cao Zhongyun, who bought your "Original Scenery of Hometown" last time, took a fancy to my album again. Bonustrack, that is, your song "Insects Fly", said that they want to buy and use the copyright to make movie episodes."

"If he wants to buy it, he will sell it. The old rules, just leave the price to Sister Xu to negotiate." Xiao Yao said indifferently. But I am sighing in my heart, Lin Da's production is really different, although it is a different world, excellent works are excellent everywhere. But having said that, this song was originally made for the movie "Fengyun" in that world at the time, and it is normal for movies in this world to see it as an episode. Thinking of the movie "Fengyun" in his previous life, Xiao Yao asked again: "What movie is it? What scene is the episode?"

"There is a martial arts movie directed by Chen Zhuqi called "Golden Lotus Sword". There is a scene in which the hero and heroine fly through a group of fireflies with light kung fu. I want to use this song as the background music." Xiao Siqi replied, obviously just now. Ting had already told him on the phone. "The film has been filmed and is in post-production. The director has been dissatisfied with the background music of this scene. Mr. Qin Kaixuan, who is responsible for the soundtrack of this film, is a friend of Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao, who knows the difficulties of his friend, recommended this song to him. Song, Mr. Qin was also very satisfied after listening to it, because Mr. Cao bought the copyright of XY's work before, this time he entrusted Mr. Cao to help negotiate the copyright of this song."

"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Yao nodded, and then said with a smile: "So there are fireflies too. Isn't there a song "Goodbye Firefly" in your new album? It seems that you wrote it after watching the fireflies that night?"

"Hey...are you the one who provokes Dad so much?" Xiao Siqi, who was poked at the center of the matter, shouted a little annoyed, but then laughed: "No matter how good you are, Xiao Yao, you are also my seed, Xiao Siqi. No matter how good the music you write Great, that's what I, Xiao Siqi, taught you. Didn't your grandfather teach you a saying that the blue is better than the blue? The more powerful your son is, the more proud you are to be an old man."

"Yes, yes, it's good that you can think so." Xiao Yao smiled. He saw that Xiao Siqi's expression was a little strange just now, so he deliberately made such a provocative sentence. After getting along for so long, Xiao Yao already knows how to deal with his father.

A week later, the promotion of the movie "Golden Lotus Sword" started. The movie also released its first trailer. As an internationally award-winning director, Chen Zhuqi's martial arts film has already attracted the attention of the public when it started shooting. As a martial arts movie, the first trailer mainly shows the fighting scenes in the film. In this trailer, the gorgeous scenes and costumes, and the beautiful fighting moves have successfully whetted the appetite of the fans.

Just when the public was looking forward to the film's release during the Spring Festival, a week after the release of the first trailer, the second trailer of the movie was also released simultaneously on the Internet and on TV. There is only one scene in this trailer, which is the hero and heroine performing light kung fu and flying among a group of fireflies. Unlike the gorgeous atmosphere of the first trailer, the clips shown in this trailer are very beautiful. The soundtrack of this trailer is Xiao Yao's song "Insects Fly". The beautiful picture, coupled with the green and fresh nursery rhymes, shows the love between the hero and heroine very pure and beautiful, which makes people feel wonderful and warm.

The song "Insects Flying" is a nursery rhyme. The children's singing gives people a feeling of youthfulness, tenderness and purity, and these three key words can also be used in love. When Xiao Siqi saw the lyrics, he interpreted "the stars in the sky shed tears" and "who are you missing" as Xiao Yao's longing for Chen Zilin, and "one pair after another" and "as long as you are with me" as Xiao Yao's longing for Chen Zilin. Yao and his father and son are dependent on each other, thinking that this is Xiao Yao's emotional expression of family affection, and he doesn't think about love. But he didn't think about love, others would think about love. The first thing people feel when they see the lyrics is a kind of lonely and sad beauty, expressing their pursuit of love with insects flying around. The sentence "as long as you are with me" and the sentence "one pair after another is beautiful" all give people a sense of vows that last forever. Coupled with a child's voice, this feeling of sadness and loneliness, the pure and poignant taste of love is simply touching.

With the release of the second movie trailer of the movie "Golden Lotus Sword", the episode "Insects Flying" became popular before the movie.

The movie will not be released until the Spring Festival, and the soundtrack of the movie will not be released until after the movie is released. People who liked this song at first thought that they would have to buy a CD with this song next year. Fortunately, Xiao Siqi now has a very large number of fans. Fans who also pay attention to this movie were pleasantly surprised to find that the movie episode turned out to be The bonus track in Xiao Siqi's new album, this bonus is really a surprise. So someone excitedly went to the Internet to publish the news.

Originally as a bonus track, Xiao Siqi and the record company were too embarrassed to use this song to promote their new album. Unexpectedly, through a high-profile movie, someone made another wave of strong publicity for their new album for free. Shen Yinan's teasing at the beginning also had results, and now it is obvious that Xiao Siqi is not helping XY release songs for free, but XY is helping Xiao Siqi sell albums.

But in the view of agent Xu Ting, XY is not at a disadvantage. Because of the popularity of the song, now not only is Cao Zhongyun the right to use the soundtrack of the movie episode, but many celebrities have contacted her to buy the cover copyright of the song and prepare to perform this song at the New Year's Eve party at the end of the year. These all stem from the fact that Xiao Siqi put this song in his new album and was discovered by Cao Zhongyun.
