Chapter 309 Ahua and Afa

September has always been an active time for the music scene, with singers big and small releasing songs in the autumn.

Xu Yang didn't know the reason, but everyone in front of him had done it, and it was hard for him to break this rule.

So at the end of September, Xu Yang released four songs in one go.

Yes, four songs.

In fact, it was originally a song, but in mid-September, Xu Yang really had nothing to do, so he had to record songs.

However, the last two songs are said to be two songs, but they are actually regarded as one song because they use the same tune.

Just like Zhanzhuang Chen's "Next Year Today" and "Ten Years", they use the same song, but the lyrics are different.

Now Xu Yang has also done this kind of thing. The quality cannot be compared with these two songs by Zhanzhuang Chen. After all, both "Next Year Today" and "Ten Years" are his famous representative works.

As for Xu Yang's two songs, it's not that Xu Yang is self-effacing, they really don't have the potential to become masterpieces.

If they didn't share the same song, Xu Yang wouldn't even have released either of the two songs separately.

This is very similar to Gouka's Three Kingdoms Kill. You lose blood in succession, but if you have six people, you won't lose.

The same goes for releasing songs. Xu Yang actually planned to release these two songs as one song.

For this reason, Xu Yang also specially produced an EP. After all, there are four songs. It would be a big loss not to produce an EP.

Of course, this is also because the number is not enough for an album. Why release an EP when you can release an album?

This time Xu Yang had discussed with Penguin Music in advance and asked them to operate this EP.

It is also released online and offline together, but online first, and then the Xianxia physical EP is released.

Now all major music companies and music platforms know one thing: music digitization is irreversible.

Physical albums are declining, and many singers can only rely on music platforms to gain early fame.

Of course, the cost of using music platforms is far lower than that of music companies, and it is also more accessible to the people.

So at this time, there are many grassroots singers who are popular. They have not received systematic music training, and they have not cheated like Xu Yang, but their experience is not much different from cheating.

For example, Wu Gao is busy falling in love, and Ben Xi is still believed to be alive and well.

So now singers with Zhang Jie's price will gradually switch to music platforms.

Of course, releasing an album is still the goal of every singer. After all, the habits and achievements of so many years cannot be replaced by the newly developed digital music.

Xu Yang adopts the model of using online music platforms to expand the popularity of songs and then selling them offline.

This is also the most common model used by many singers in later generations, putting music online, releasing albums, putting music online, releasing albums... and so on.

And Penguin Music's attitude towards Xu Yang is different from other singers. Although the four giants of Penguin Music are firmly occupying the top position of Penguin Music rankings, that is because Xu Yang has not released a song yet.

Their combined fans probably don't have as many fans as Xu Yang's. Fans here specifically refer to people who have listened to their songs and are attracted by their songs.

After all, Xu Yang has so many phenomenal songs that are widely sung, so he can't be outdone by "juniors" like them, right?
Of course, the most important reason is that Penguin Music owns Xu Yang’s exclusive copyright, and Penguin Music’s copyright war in the past two years has not been a waste of time.

After signing the exclusive copyright with Xu Yang two years ago, Penguin Music started taking action.

I won’t talk about the previously released music, but the newly released music, especially last year’s "Ordinary Road" album, they have cracked down on countless pirated copies.

This has led to the fact that the easiest place to find Xu Yang’s music on the Internet is Penguin Music.

Of course, piracy still exists. As long as the saints die, thieves will continue. Piracy is almost impossible to eradicate, but Penguin Music has no intention of eradicating piracy.

They just need to use Xu Yang to attract more users and then kill their competitors.

To be honest, the piracy now only targets Xu Yang's piracy, and does not care about other singers' other songs.

Therefore, Xu Yang was only targeted because his pirated copies blocked Penguin Music's drama.

Under Penguin Music's targeting, they basically controlled Xu Yang's pirated music sources, and also blocked Xu Yang's songs from being released on other music platforms.

It’s not that other music platforms don’t want to release Xu Yang’s songs. He is currently one of the most popular singers and the most popular singer under the age of 30. Who doesn’t want his songs?
However, he failed to reach an agreement with Penguin Music in the end, which led to the current almost "monopoly" situation.

Of course, Penguin Music also paid a heavy price.

However, in their view, compared with the benefits brought to them by the exclusive copyright of Xu Yang's songs, these costs are affordable.

So after Xu Yang informed them that he was going to release a new song, Penguin Music immediately set up a special team to be responsible only for the online release of Xu Yang's EP.

Penguin Music started promoting Xu Yang's new song and EP a week in advance. They already had a name for it, called "Steady Happiness".

And on the last weekend of September, the first song of Xu Yang’s EP was also released.

Xu Yang himself didn’t have much expectations for this EP, but it couldn’t hold back the enthusiasm of Penguin Music.

So Xu Yang made a big move at the beginning and directly handed over a high-quality song, which delighted countless fans. This song is called "The Thief of Time".

"Don't let go of what you can hold tight,

If you can hug, don't pull,
Time rushes by,

What's left. "

"Forgive the twists and turns we have gone through,

It turns out that everything left behind is true.
Even though it seems like a dream, half awake,

Who can let me laugh and cry and be happy~"

The foreshadowing of the two paragraphs accumulates momentum and emotion, and then explodes in the next paragraph.

Then there are these two simple paragraphs, but they are where Xu Yang spent the most time on this song.

After all, Xu Yang's tone is not like the original Kim Qi-min, which can catch the audience's ears in an instant.

Therefore, Xu Yang can only work on technique and emotion, and this is his attempt to integrate the two.

The result is naturally satisfying.

After listening to these two sentences, many listeners seemed to feel something, but there was no point that made them explode.

And next, Xu Yang exploded.

“Time is something that catches people off guard.
Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's raining,

Can't compete day and night and think about the past,
I stole Qingsi but kept you"

"Time is a journey that never returns,

The good and the bad are all scenery,

Don't blame me for being greedy and just unwilling to wake up,
Because you want to be with me only for you,
Look at the clouds and the wind"

The two bursts experienced a transition from violent to gentle, and then with Xu Yang's ultimate skills and emotions, people's memories came to their hearts like a tide.

Then there are two gentle paragraphs, allowing the audience to slowly express the emotions just mentioned.

"Don't let go of what you can hold tight,

If you can hug, don't pull,
Time rushes by,

what's left"

"Forgive the twists and turns we have gone through,

It turns out that everything left behind is true.
Even though it seems like a dream, half awake,

Who can let me laugh and cry and be happy~"

Different from the first paragraph, the emotion in this paragraph is more intense, and then ushered in the final explosion.

“Time is something that catches people off guard.
Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's raining,

Can't compete day and night and think about the past,
I stole the blue silk but kept a nigga"

"Time is a journey that never returns,

The good and the bad are all scenery,

Don't blame me for being greedy and just unwilling to wake up,
Because you want to be with me only for you,
Look at the clouds and the wind"

"~"

The two repeated choruses directly fill up the overall mood, but will not make people collapse.

Therefore, this song is a relatively balanced song in all aspects.

This was the song that Xu Yang was planning to release at the beginning, and he spent the most effort on it.

Therefore, although this song was not exaggerated to the point of becoming popular on the entire Internet once it was released.

But it also caused an unknown shock in the music circle. Fans were shocked that this song gave them some inexplicable feelings.

Although they couldn't describe this feeling, if they were forced to say it, this song sounded more comfortable than Xu Yang's previous songs.

The songs that Xu Yang sang in the past will always be unified in terms of function, technique and emotion.

The advantage of this is that it directly touches the soul and makes people unable to control themselves. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of emotions from the audience after listening to it.

But this song is different now. After listening to it, you will feel that although the emotions are aroused as before, it is just controlled at a certain level, making it very comfortable to listen to.

Singers and producers in the music industry were amazed at Xu Yang's improvement in singing skills.

Although they didn't know how much Xu Yang's singing skills had improved since the concert half a year ago, they had at least made progress.

At the concert half a year ago, Xu Yang's overall singing skills had already reached an A- level.

So now at least they are all at A+ level. How can this not be amazing? What you need to know is that Xu Yang is only 24 years old.

With the strong recommendation of Penguin Music, this song topped Penguin Music’s hot song list as soon as it was released.

At the same time, the cumulative number of listeners and collectors is showing explosive growth every day.

Then, within a few days, Xu Yang’s other two songs were also released on Penguin Music.

Before they could get over the surprise of the last song, fans found out that there were new songs online, so what else could they say, they were blasting them in a loop.

It's just that they may not be able to do what they want this time. These two songs are not very repeatable songs.

Moreover, if you listen to the two songs alone, you may not feel much at all, but if you listen to them together, they will feel overwhelming.

One of the two songs is called "Bride Ahua" and the other is called "Groom Afa".

Just by listening to the name, you can understand that these two songs are bound to exist, the bridegroom and the bride, Ahua and Afa.

And after everyone listened to it, they discovered that the lyrics of these two songs were actually compatible.

"Ahua is 28 this year, (Afa is thirty plus this year)
Her family urged her to talk about marriage, (her family urged him to marry and start a family)

The blind date’s name is Afa, (the blind date’s name is Ahua)

I have a house, a car and a leather sofa. (The smile under my bangs fits the room of IKEA)

Ahua meets Afa for the first time, (Afa meets Ahua for the first time)

There is no blushing and heartbeat, just embarrassment, (no excitement, panic and politeness)
Ah Fa self-recommended to be 28 this year, (A Hua responded that she is [-] this year)

If you have a stable job, you should have a family. (With good academic qualifications, I want to have a family.)

Later, the development of the story was not bad, (The development of the story was not bad either)

Ahua put on a pure white gauze for him, (Afa chose a pure white gauze for her)

That person is not my old love Zhiming, (that person is not my old love Chunjiao)

Nor is he the unforgettable Ah Zhong (nor is he the Ah Juan who worries about gains and losses)

Bless her, bless her, (bless him, bless him)

Even if the prince is not riding a white horse, (even if the princess is not living in the White Tower)

It’s worth having happiness, (It’s also worth having happiness)

Regardless of richness and glory, (whether morning bells and evening drums are like brocades)

Bless her bride Ahua, (bless his groom Afa)

The girl's dream is stored in yesterday, (the boy's words are buried in the bottom of my heart)

The price of love is bundled into a bouquet, (the price of love is bundled into a bouquet of flowers)

Throw it out and get a new one for her to live in a new home. (Drink it and get a new one for him to build a new home.)

Ah Fa held A Hua in his arms, (A Hua held A Fa in arms)

The ring finger shines with that oath, (the ring finger shines with that promise)

A lifetime is only a blink of an eye, (A lifetime is only a blink of an eye)
Let's get married and walk together (hand in hand until we grow old together)

Later, the development of the story was not bad, (The development of the story was not bad either)

Three dishes and one soup A-hua waits for A-fa to come home (A-fa picks the flowers on the way for A-hua)

The two of them cuddled up on the sofa, (the two of them held hands and counted the steps)

Watching a movie will make you chat about gossip, (looking at the sky will also make you chatter)
Bless her, bless her, (bless him, bless him)

Even if the prince is not riding a white horse, (even if the princess is not living in a white tower)

It’s worth having happiness, (It’s also worth having happiness)

Regardless of wealth and splendor, (no matter the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening)
Bless her bride Ahua, (bless his groom Afa)

The girl's dream is stored in yesterday, (the boy's words are buried in the bottom of my heart)

The price of love is bundled into a bouquet, (the price of love is bundled into a bouquet of flowers)

Throw it out and get a new her, (drink it and get a new him)

Bless her, bless her, (bless him, bless him)

Even if the prince is not riding a white horse, (even if the princess is not living in a white tower)

It’s worth having happiness, (It’s also worth having happiness)

Regardless of wealth and splendor, (no matter the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening)
Bless her bride Ahua, (bless his groom Afa)

The girl's dream is stored in yesterday, (the boy's words are buried in the bottom of my heart)

The price of love is bundled into a bouquet, (the price of love is bundled into a bouquet of flowers)

Throw it out and get a new one for her to live in a new home. (Drink it and get a new one for him to build a new home.)

Ahua is 68 this year, (Afa is [-] plus this year)

She fell in love with planting flowers recently, (he fell in love with painting and calligraphy recently)

Afa buys breakfast and goes home early in the morning, (Ahua cooks dinner for him in the evening)

The soy milk is so hot that it blooms. (The fish soup is so warm that it forms a picture)”

The two songs tell the same thing, but they are the first half of life and the second half of two different people.

In the first half of our lives, we had nothing to do with each other, but in the second half of our lives, we spent the rest of our lives together. To use a sentence from Shen Fu's "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" of the Qing Dynasty to describe it, "I stand with you in the evening when I am free, and laugh in front of the stove to ask if the porridge is warm."

There are countless times in the song, the memories of two people and the future of two people.

It's ordinary, without any thrilling stories, but this is the life of most people.

Maybe there will be an unforgettable love, maybe you will meet the person you love and get married together.

No matter he or she lives in a humble life or in glory and wealth, or in the splendid years, it’s him (her)!
When I get old, one person buys breakfast, another cooks dinner, another arranges flowers, and artists call and paint. The soy milk warms into mist in my heart, and the fish soup heats up into a painting in front of my eyes.

September NO.30, this day is destined to be remembered by Xu Yang’s fans.

On this day, Xu Yang sent his most sincere blessings to his fans.

I wish them a happy harvest~
These two songs are refreshing, just like a bowl of porridge. After listening to them, you feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Maybe these two songs don't have such brilliant music or lyrics, but their sincere feelings and simple lyrics are enough to touch people's hearts.

The human heart is the hardest to understand...

In just one night, these two songs became popular in a lightning-fast manner.

On this day, Xu Yang's fans tried their best to let some people hear these two songs.

Then, with their spread, these two songs were heard by another group of people.

In this way, the two songs "Groom A Fa" and "Bride A Hua" directly entered the hot song list, directly knocking the previous "Time Thief" from the first position.

On October [-]st, everyone had just woken up and was preparing to celebrate the motherland’s birthday, and then they suddenly discovered.

While celebrating his birthday, there were suddenly a lot of "official announcements" in Penguin Space.

The reason is that these two songs came out of the circle too quickly. They were released at 30:[-] on NO.[-] in September and occupied the high ground on the morning of October [-]st...

After you share it with the person you like, maybe the other person is also about to share these two songs with you.

Therefore, don’t worry that sharing your likes and interests will arouse other people’s resentment. Maybe it is precisely because of this that you will attract them.

The release of the two songs also made Xu Yang pay attention to them. Originally, he didn't have much expectations for these two songs.

Because "Bride Ah Hua" in the original timeline had little popularity, "Groom Ah Fa" was still a song with lyrics written by netizens.

This led to Xu Yang's preconception that they were just like that.

But he ignored an optimistic fact, that is, his fame almost crushed Jin Qimin's fame at that time.

Driven by his huge fame, the two songs have gained popularity that was not seen in the original timeline.

Then by chance, it directly touched people's hearts, broke out of the circle, and dominated the entire penguin space.

Especially among students, these two songs were posted on almost all their social media spaces and recommended to everyone they wanted to recommend.

A few days later, Xu Yang prepared a big gift for them, which finally brought the story of these two songs to a successful conclusion.
