Chapter 70 Daoxiang
Li Qingning said that she didn’t hate “Half Sugar Ring”.
What she hated was the process of writing the song.
This song was when an international candy brand entered the domestic market. They asked Li Yu to write a promotional song for this product.
Their flagship product is the half-tang ring.
The brand gave so much that Sister Chen couldn't help but take it over and asked Li Qingning to compose a song for them. However, Li Qingning liked to write songs when inspiration came to her at that time. This kind of composition-style creation was too difficult.
Of course, it’s easy to write casually and be perfunctory, but Li Qingning doesn’t want to be perfunctory to those who listen to her songs.
She racked her brains to write, "It took about a week to write, and I finally finished it."
At that time, she swore that she would never write songs like this again, as it would be a waste of her life.
What Li Qingning didn't expect was that this song would become so popular that some netizens even commented that when the chorus sounded, they would be embarrassed not to propose marriage, "I may say this song on some occasion." During the creation process, I said I hated it, but I definitely didn’t hate this song.”
If she were asked to compose now, she would have the inspiration, but the title of the song would probably not be called Half Sugar Ring, but instead called Lollipop Boy. ·
Later they talked about "Farewell" again.
Obviously, this is a song that can never be avoided, but Li Qingning didn't want to talk about it, so Teacher Wen and Jiang Nan talked about the parting scenes in their lives. What Jiang Nan remembered the most was the parting when he was in college. Damn I sent him to the university in the morning, and his mother took the train back in the afternoon. It was the first time that Jiang Nan left home and was thrown into a strange city. He burst into tears. "If I think about it now, I cried not only about parting with my mother, but also about saying goodbye. Because from that day on, my life changed." I have embarked on a road where I am gradually drifting away from my parents.”
As for Li Qingning, what she remembers most is the snow.
“When he was sending me off to the station, he said ‘good morning, good afternoon, good night.’ It was a very strange way of saying goodbye, and that was the time he used it.” She still didn’t know what it meant. When she asked Jiang Yang, he said it was just a whim.
What she remembers most is when she entered the station, Jiang Yang's bleak figure standing in the snow. She didn't know why, but she felt very distressed.
Chatting until late at night.
But many people are in good spirits because they are waiting.
Today is the day when the first episode of the program is broadcast. After being bombarded with the program trailers, I bought several hot searches on Twitter. After giving everything, it is still early to say that their program will fail, but it will be successful whether it can succeed. It depends on today.
Jiangnan noticed the change in everyone's minds in time.
He intends to leave the recording of the program and advises everyone to relax and work seriously. The most important thing is to let others decide the outcome.
However, when he saw that Teacher Wen was not in his best state, he knew that this was reasonable.
He can only maintain the state by himself and lead the program to the next link in time.
There are three singers here. It would be a pity not to sing in this situation.
However, Lin Lele did not dare to do whatever he wanted.
She is not afraid of singing, she is afraid of competition. She has experienced the battle between the two kings. They crushed the singers of the same period. Singing next to the big devil will only magnify her shortcomings. Lin Lele does not want to seek abuse. She is here to To gather popularity, not to spread it.
Finally, the guitar was in Li Qingning’s hands.
Fang Yuan sat up straight.
Teacher Wen joked, “Fang Yuan’s eyes are full of stars now.”
Fang Yuan smiled. He had only seen an idol’s concert once. “Tickets were too difficult to buy.”
Jiangnan said: "Let the proposer buy them all."
Everyone laughed.
Li Qingning did not join in, she was tuning her guitar.
While Teacher Wen and the others were still chatting, she bounced up and said, "If you complain too much about this world and fall down, you won't dare to move forward. Why do people have to be so fragile and degenerate? Please open it." Look at TV, how many people are trying to live bravely and go on bravely. Should we be content and cherish everything, even if we don’t have it?”
Teacher Wen and the others quieted down.
Lin Lele put down the hand holding his chin and sat upright as well.
The recording scene was quiet. For a while, there was only Li Qingning’s voice, the slight movement of the machine, the fragrance of rice blowing from the rice fields, and the chirping of insects.
Zhuang Mei was originally holding her mobile phone, anxiously waiting for the data to be broadcast on today's program. After hearing this song, he moved his eyes away from his mobile phone and looked at Li Qingning in the venue.
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up.
Just one lyric, this song is of great significance.
He closed his eyes.
He didn’t know the name of this song, but he enjoyed listening to it among the fragrance of rice.
"Remember, you said that home is the only castle. With the fragrance of rice, the river continues to run. Smile slightly, I know your childhood dreams. Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away. Country songs, eternal reliance, go home Let’s go back to the original beauty.”
The program director sighed in his heart,
They were in the fragrance of rice. They had been running along the river for several weeks. The stars worked in the fields, fished in the river, and blew the wind on the scarecrow. They took pictures of it all, but—
Their hearts are not here, and they have never seen the wind, moon, birds and fish here.
This variety show is a new program in the station, and it is also the first program after Zhuang Mei took over as the chief producer.
The station spent a lot of resources, gathered the best talents in the station, spent a lot of favors, and spent a lot of money to invite Teacher Jiang Nan Hewen. He also intercepted Hu Fangyuan and paid an even greater price to make him give up the music of another TV station. Variety show, come and participate in their show.
Under such great pressure, although they filmed a slow-paced, leisurely life that many office workers long for, their hearts were already filled with gains and losses. Even Zhuang Mei has long forgotten her original intention when she first heard the idea for this program.
“Just smile. Being famous is not the goal. Making yourself happy is the meaning…”
When Li Qingning sang this, he chuckled at Zhuang Mei.
"The so-called happiness, chasing dragonflies in the fields with bare feet until I got tired, stealing fruits and getting stung by bees. Who is laughing? I leaned on the scarecrow and sang in the wind and fell asleep. Oh oh . In the afternoon, the guitar is more crisp amid the chirping of insects, oh oh, don’t be afraid of heartbreak when the sun shines on the road, cherish everything even if you don’t have it..."
Zhuang Mei took a long breath, exhaled endless turbid air, and looked back at the rice fields outside the yard fence. Speaking of which, their team has been working here for so long, and they have never really fished or dug bamboo shoots in the pleasant countryside here without any purpose. She decided that after seeing off this wave of guests, she would take a holiday and let everyone move freely.
The phone screen lights up.
Zhuang Mei didn't look at her phone. She suddenly felt that none of this was important. Of course, it's not that the result is unimportant. She is an adult and will not cleanse her soul just because of a song and stop caring about fame and fortune. She doesn't think it's important, just because her sister Li Qingning has done enough, whether it's the topic of relationships or this new song, it's enough to ignite the topic.
What’s more—
This song fits the life that the program theme longs for, and fits the program style and scene. This song is enough to bring people back to the good times when they were children. When you close your eyes and listen to it, your mind is filled with the comfort of childhood, which resonates with the program.
If this still doesn’t make the program a success, Zhuang Mei thinks there’s no need to continue the program.
“Go home, return to the original beauty.”
Li Qingning put down the guitar and tucked her loose hair behind her ears.
"marvelous."
Jiangnan clapped his hands and applauded. He said to Li Qingning: "Really, it's great."
Jiangnan is a literary person. He emphasizes "really", that is, it is really great.
He can only say that the Great Demon King is worthy of being the Great Demon King.
Lin Lele clapped her hands and applauded, sincerely convinced.
Fang Yuan’s eyes were full of admiration, he was worthy of being his idol.
That’s it for today’s program. Teacher Jiang Nan and Wen were controlling the final rhythm. Zhuang Mei turned on her phone and saw the ratings sent by her colleagues. She was neither surprised nor happy. She clapped her hands after the program was completely recorded. : "Let me tell you a piece of news. Our program's ratings ranked third among satellite TV ratings at the same time."
"good!"
Teacher Jiang Nan and Wen took the lead in applauding.
They were very satisfied with the third place result.
This is only their first issue.
Before this, they were completely unsure.
Now, this third place result, although it has not made the program stand out in the wave of music variety shows, at least it proves that their content is tenable, which makes them feel relieved.
While everyone was applauding and high-fiving each other, Zhuang Mei opened her arms and hugged Li Qingning, "Thank you."
Li Qingning patted her shoulder and said, "I've done everything I can, and it's up to you next. Come on."
"Um."
Zhuang Mei hugged Li Qingning.
"that-"
Jiang Yang appeared behind them, "Can we serve dinner? Also, this is my wife."
He whispered, "Just give me a hug and you'll be fine."
