Chapter 138: Soothing Songs
Director Wu protected her so much, there was no way she could hide behind him with a clear conscience.
She felt that Producer Qian held a high position in Channel H, otherwise Director Wu would not have tolerated this person from the beginning.
Director Wu was able to come forward at such a great risk, so she had to make her words clear.
For her, the worst that could happen is that she would withdraw from the show "Singer 2024".
Even without the singer program, she still has a lot of things to do and she won't suffer any big loss.
But when Director Wu left Channel H, he was leaving the career he had worked hard for decades.
So now is the time for her to stand up and speak her mind.
Producer Qian was already very angry about Director Wu's impolite words. At this time, Xu Yanyu showed up, and he looked at Xu Yanyu unhappily.
Tian Huamin didn't know what to do with his hand holding the mouse.
She couldn't imagine that Director Wu could be so tough.
At this time, Deputy Director Guo said, "Hua Min, why don't you play the accompaniment of "Floating Light"?"
In one sentence, it represents Deputy Director Guo’s attitude.
Producer Qian could only clench his fists and swallow his anger.
Deputy Director Guo turned to Producer Qian and said, "My phone is in the office. Can you get it for me?"
When Tian Huamin heard this, she knew what it meant.
Deputy Director Guo ignored her, the little Karami, and asked Producer Qian to go out and do something. He probably wanted Producer Qian to go out and calm down.
She quickly turned on the accompaniment of "Floating Light" again.
"Let me listen to this song 'Floating Light' first." But Producer Qian was reluctant to leave.
He wanted to see how good this song "Floating Light" was.
Can it be better than his nephew’s “锵锵我的国”?
Anyway, he just listened to the accompaniment and he thought it was quite ordinary.
The tune was so heavy and dull that he didn't believe it could be sung well.
Assistant Director Guo stopped talking and slowly walked towards the sofa not far away.
Xu Yanyu closed her eyes and felt the heavy sense of history in the song.
The prelude passed quickly and she began to sing loudly.
[Watch the fingertips pluck the butterflies, stirring up a farewell.]
I push away the silent years and continue my dream. 】
……
As soon as a line of lyrics was sung, that ethereal feeling came over me.
Tian Huamin closed her eyes somewhat intoxicated.
It sounds nice, and it gives a very soothing feeling, as if you are in the vast universe.
Assistant Director Guo's gaze instantly shifted from the ground to Xu Yanyu.
As expected of a singer who can make it to the U chart with just one song, this song is so beautifully written.
He slowly leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes to doze off.
When Director Wu heard Xu Yanyu sang the first word, he knew that his persistence was right.
A smile of joy slowly spread across his face.
He became even more certain that he must perform this song on the next singer's stage.
He had even guessed the audience's reaction in his mind.
Producer Qian was quite dissatisfied at first, and his anger was still rising.
But as Xu Yanyu's singing drifted into his ears, the anger in his heart seemed to be washed away by strands of flowing water...
In the end, only a faint sense of calm remained.
His clenched hands slowly loosened.
In the spacious practice room, Xu Yanyu's singing voice kept echoing.
At some point, a few people gathered at the door of her practice room.
They didn't say anything, just listened quietly to the singing coming from inside.
Xiaozhi was standing outside the door, her eyes sparkling as she listened.
It sounds really beautiful!
She kept a close eye on her colleagues who were watching the scene, so that she could stop them if anyone pulled out their cell phones to record the conversation.
Fortunately, everyone was immersed in the singing and no one made things difficult for her.
When the song reached its climax, Deputy Director Guo slowly straightened up from his position on the sofa.
He clasped his hands together and his head swayed involuntarily to the beat of the music.
Apparently he liked the song, too.
Director Wu looked quietly at Producer Qian.
Their eyes met.
Producer Qian quickly turned his head to the other side as if he wanted to cover up something.
Director Wu raised his chin and snorted coldly.
Pretend, pretend to the end if you have the guts!
He didn't notice that Producer Qian's shiny little leather shoes were being raised and lowered to the beat of the music.
Producer Qian thought he had hidden it well, but with his 5.2 eyesight, he could count even ants crawling by.
He understood Xu Yanyu's song too well, and knew its destructive power on the people present.
Deputy Director Guo used to study history. When he was drunk, he liked to find someone to brag about the long history of the Flower Country and how proud it was.
Producer Qian likes to practice calligraphy and write poetry, and he often talks about the same things with Deputy Director Guo.
Director Wu felt relieved and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. His mind of watching the show was also aroused by Xu Yanyu's singing.
A few minutes later, Xu Yanyu finished singing a song.
Her chest was a little breathless. The song "Floating Light" was really difficult to sing.
The whole song involves a lot of falsetto, which is a great test of the singer's singing skills.
If it weren't for this system bug, Xu Yanyu would not dare to challenge this song at all.
But apparently she performed well.
Her eyes swept over the crowd.
Tian Huamin looked at Xu Yanyu with admiration.
She couldn't help but say, "Your song can even be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage!
The song is very ancient, and the lyrics express the theme of life and history in a particularly grand way. "
Tian Huamin felt that this was not enough and continued, "The melody of the song is beautiful and varied, with both a gentle narrative and an exciting climax. Every note accurately touches the softest part of people's hearts.
Teacher Xu’s singing skills are also excellent, and he interprets the melody of this song to the fullest.
The rhythm of the song is great, it’s a heavenly song!”
Producer Qian just said that the rhythm of "Floating Light" was not good enough. Tian Huamin's words were a complete slap in the face of Producer Qian.
Tian Huamin has completely forgotten his initial idea of not being the first to stand out.
She felt that if Xu Yanyu did not sing this song on the singer's stage, it would not only be a loss for "Singer 2024", but would also be a great regret in her heart.
So no matter what she said, she had to give Xu Yanyu some space.
So what if Producer Qian is angry? Producer Qian is not her direct supervisor.
Director Wu looked at Tian Huamin with appreciation. If Huamin could speak so nicely every day, he would have been promoted long ago.
But next time, he will definitely help Tian Huamin get a promotion opportunity.
Director Wu looked at Producer Qian and said in a distressed tone, "Hua Min, stop talking.
Producer Qian prefers straightforward patriotic songs. He wants down-to-earth songs that express people’s living conditions.
Immortal products are not enough, he wants the best in the world! Don’t use the word "immortal product" next time, it's not down to earth!"
Director Wu almost said explicitly that the only thing left in "My Country, My Son" is its down-to-earth feel.
Tian Huamin glanced at her boss and realized that he was looking for something to say to producer Qian.
She didn't miss Director Wu's intoxicated expression.
But she still had to cooperate with her leader and do her best. "Thank you Director Wu for reminding me. I said the wrong thing. Musical aesthetics is a very personal thing. I shouldn't impose my ideas on everyone."
"Yeah, everyone's aesthetic taste is bad, only Producer Qian has the highest aesthetic taste." Director Wu is still a grudge-holder.
Producer Qian was speechless, but he wanted to object to what Director Wu said.
But he couldn't say anything against his will.
The song "Floating Light" really hits his aesthetic point.
He recalled the previous meeting in which he was asked to showcase the elegance of the Flower Kingdom to international friends and to encourage young creators to create works with depth and cultural connotations.
And Xu Yanyu's "Floating Light" is obviously possible.
Deputy Director Guo at the side spoke up at this time, "Although aesthetics is unique, excellent works have a certain universality.
The song "Floating Light" is very well written and the lyrics are very interesting, showing the grandeur and magnificence of the Flower Kingdom for thousands of years.
The whole song has the fashion sense of modern music while retaining the elegance and depth of classical music.
I am looking forward to seeing Teacher Xu sing this song on the next singer’s stage.”
When Xu Yanyu heard this, her eyebrows raised a few times.
Deputy Director Guo even used the title "teacher", it seems that he likes the song "Floating Light" very much.
She smiled and said, "I will try my best. I was planning to sing this song in the next show."
Deputy Director Guo then turned to look at Producer Qian, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Director Wu also turned his attention to Producer Qian.
He thought that what Deputy Director Guo asked was very interesting.
Deputy Director Guo himself slammed the table and said that if he wanted to see Xu Yanyu sing the song "Floating Light", why did he have to let Producer Qian express his ideas?
We can't let Producer Qian praise Xu Yanyu for her singing, right?
Producer Qian looked up at Deputy Director Guo, feeling confused and aggrieved.
Deputy Director Guo continued: "Don't you have something to say?"
Producer Qian lowered his head, and after a while, he seemed to have given up something. He looked at Xu Yanyu and said, "'My Country, My Son' is indeed not as good as 'Floating Light'. 'My Country, My Son' expresses emotions too directly. Today's audiences don't buy into brainwashing and preaching anymore."
Xu Yanyu looked at Producer Qian's embarrassed expression and felt a little sympathetic towards him.
After Producer Qian finished speaking, he looked up at Deputy Director Guo.
He felt that he had said enough.
But Deputy Director Guo was obviously not satisfied and did not say anything.
Producer Qian was even more confused. Could it be that Deputy Director Guo felt that what he said was not sincere enough?
He suddenly thought of what Deputy Director Guo had said just now: "It has the fashion sense of modern music, while retaining the elegance and depth of classical music."
It suddenly dawned on him that Deputy Director Guo was a very cultured person, and that he himself was also a cultured person.
His comment just now seemed so uncultured.
