Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Yang Che didn't talk much at this time. He was enjoying the atmosphere and even ran back to the car to get a few cigars, but they all thought it was too much trouble and preferred to smoke some cigarettes.

There's this story: at a family dinner, Feng Xiaogang asked Miao Miao to dance, and Chen Daoming jokingly scolded Ge You, "Haven't you ever seen dancing before?" Yes, Ge You said, "Let's see some moves..." Then people started praising Chen Daoming and criticizing Feng Xiaogang...

Yang Che had participated in many similar gatherings before and had never felt anything was wrong with them. Everyone was performing, and even if they didn't perform, there would still be some noise.

Then he saw comments on the video saying that it was a disregard for women's dignity and a "objectification" of them. Uh... then in the video, Chen Daoming playing the piano, singer Zhang Yan singing, and other investors singing, wasn't that also a "objectification" of them?

Yang Che couldn't understand it and could only sigh that he was old and outdated.

Just then, he heard Keqinfu singing the Mongolian version of "Wild Geese," and suddenly something occurred to him. After Keqinfu finished singing, he asked, "Hey? Keqinfu, do you know how to sing 'Night in Ulaanbaatar'?"

Keqinfu was quite surprised: "You even know this song?"

Yang Che said, half-jokingly, "A friend from Hohhot sang a couple of lines. I only remembered it because I just heard you sing in Mongolian."

Keqinfu nodded and smiled, "I know a few lines too. Cao Fang, give me the guitar."

So everyone clinked their glasses, then quieted down and looked at Keqinfu.

"This song is a folk song that the Genghis Khan Band from Outer Mongolia sang at a concert in Hohhot more than ten years ago, and it became popular on a small scale in Inner Mongolia afterward... cough."

Keqinfu cleared his throat and began to sing in Mongolian.

Clearly, apart from Yang Che, everyone else was hearing it for the first time and naturally couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop them from being drawn to the melody.

Yang Che looked up at the sky. Well, the sky was so polluted that you couldn't see any stars.

Upon hearing that familiar Mongolian phrase, Yang Che couldn't help but sing along, and then sang it softly in Chinese.

Wang Fei, who had just gotten out of the taxi, didn't need to make a call to know where Chen Meng was at a glance. The bespectacled man playing guitar and singing was attracting the attention of all the diners at the barbecue stall, and she was naturally drawn to him as well. As she approached, she heard his subtle and pure voice, which sounded really nice.

By the time she reached the table, "Ulaanbaatar Night" had finished playing, and people, including diners at other tables, applauded and cheered. Kochinfu stood up and politely greeted everyone around her.

Chen Meng stood up and greeted, "Wang Fei."

Jin Haixin, standing next to Yang Che, asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, did you just sing lyrics you wrote?"

Yang Che nodded, then looked at Wang Fei. This wasn't Wang Fei at all; it was Wang Rong, the pop star who sang "I'm Not Huang Rong." Although she looked a little different, he could still recognize her.

After waving and greeting everyone with a smile, Wang Fei looked at someone and said, "Hello, Yang Che."

Hearing the standard local accent, Yang Che was completely bewildered: "You're from Longcheng?"

"Yes, my home is on Shuixiguan Street."

Yang Che's smile became even more friendly: "You live quite close to my house, let's get to know each other better in the future. Do you know why I invited you over?"

Wang Fei nodded: "Chen Meng said you were looking for singers who could sing electronic music for the movie's theme song, so I came over."

"Yes, the director is here too, and he wants to hear your voice."

"no problem."

Wang Fei knew how rare this opportunity was for him.

"Then let Boss Ke talk to you."

So people left their seats one after another, but Yang Che packed up some charcoal and skewers and started grilling them in Xiao Ke's yard.

As soon as Wang Fei opened his mouth in the room, well, everyone looked over.

After listening for a few minutes, Wen Zhen commented, "His pronunciation ranges from G3 to G5, spanning two octaves, and his sense of language is exceptionally good."

Jin Haixin looked on thoughtfully.

Yang Che's expression didn't change much; he just thought it was passable. However, seeing Wu Shixian's expression, he didn't intend to say anything.

And so the matter was settled simply and pleasantly.

Yang Che has also completed most of the post-production work on "Waiting Alone". Once he decides who will sing "My Song", things will be basically finished.

Afterwards, Jin Haixin watched the Grand Cherokee drive away and then realized that she had forgotten to ask about "Night in Ulaanbaatar," which she thought was particularly beautiful.

Fifteen minutes later, Yang Che had already entered Jialin Garden.

"Where is the voice recorder?"

"What?"

Yang Che heard the sound of mahjong tiles. That woman.

"I'm at your house."

"Two of bamboo... Look in the coffee table drawer, it's hung up, I'm busy."

Yang Che didn't respond and hung up the phone directly.

He wanted to be romantic, but the other person wasn't interested, which hurt him a little.

However, Yang Che didn't want to move anymore, since there was nowhere else to go anyway.

Lying on the sofa, Yang Che felt a sense of loneliness after a night of revelry, a sentimental feeling that was both pretentious and enjoyable.

About two minutes later, the phone rang. Yang Che glanced at it and saw it was Wang Fei. He answered after it rang twice.

"Hey, are you angry?"

"No, it's just a feeling of desolation, a sense of loneliness amidst the vast earth. I locked the door from the inside, and therein, the loneliness of this world found its home..."

Wang Fei couldn't take it anymore: "Pfft, speak properly."

"Not playing mahjong anymore?"

"I'm afraid some people might be petty, so how could I dare to hit them?"

"Sister, let me sing you a song."

"Sing!"

"In that faraway place, there lived an old rogue who used his magical tent to seduce all the beautiful girls..."

"Hmm...the pitch is very good, the timbre has also changed, and the technique has improved a lot. Not bad."

"You're so boring."

"No, your adaptation is subpar; it's nowhere near as good as your usual dirty jokes."

Yang Che paused for a moment, then began to sing: "Wind, travel slowly across the wilderness, I tell you in silence that I am drunk, the night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet, so very quiet..."

Wang Fei's voice was incredibly gentle: "Sing it again."

"Call me brother."

"Brother, sing it one more time."

"Without any warning or hesitation, you just appeared in my world..."

At first, Wang Fei almost cursed, but thankfully it was "almost". After listening to it, she actually thought the song was just so-so, similar in meaning to "Legend", but the lyrics and music were two levels below.

So she said again, "One more song."

Yang Che cleared his throat: "Call me husband."

"Honey, one more song."

"That's all, just these two."

Wang Fei paused for two seconds, then said, "I'm hanging up."

Yang Che said to himself, "The last song will be used as a movie theme song, do you want to sing it, sister?"

"Waiting Alone?"

"right."

"If you ask me to sing, I will sing."

"If that's the case, then forget it."

Wang Fei laughed: "I'll be back on July 2nd, it won't be a problem, right?"

"It'll be a delay, you just started your period back then."

Wang Fei almost choked on his breath and didn't know what to say.
