You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

The melody sounded.

The prelude is melodious and graceful, without any mysterious techniques or dramatic vocals. It is just a slowly-sung melody that immediately makes people feel clear-headed.

It seems that a long-lost feeling of emotion is gradually sprouting.

Neither Guo Weijun nor Chu Ningning said anything.

Waiting quietly for the human voice to be heard.

Xu Yi only sent a demo, without sending the lyrics and music separately, so before the performance, neither of them knew what the lyrics of the song were.

Finally, Li Fei's voice came:

"My Motherland and I"

“Not even a moment can be separated”

“Wherever I go”

"Everyone left a song of praise"

"I sing of every mountain"

"I sing every river"

"Curling smoke"

"Little Village"

"A Rut on the Road"

“La la la la la, la la la la la…”

Li Fei's voice is naturally ethereal. When she sings a song with such profound meaning, she replaces the majestic voice with another kind of beauty, which surprisingly sounds exceptionally good.

The two sat in front of the computer, listening with fascination.

Not only is the melody catchy, there is no need for showy high notes; the key is the lyrics, which are extremely well written!

Isn’t this the best theme song to celebrate National Day?

Three minutes later, the song was over.

Guo Weijun couldn't wait to say, "Ningning, play it again, play it again."

Chu Ningning followed instructions and clicked play again.

At the same time, I secretly admired him in my heart:

What kind of person is Xu Yi?

He wrote this song in one night?
This... is simply incredible.

If Chu Ningning didn't know how long it takes for musicians to create, she might have thought that all songs were written like this. However, she had met many top music creators, and they all said that it would take at least half a month or even a month to create.

There is not enough time, so I really can’t write it.

With this comparison, Xu Yi's perversion is revealed.

Is he really a genius?
But Xu Yi is not only good at music, he also seems to have made remarkable achievements in other literary and artistic fields. If he is a genius, how can he be proficient in everything?
In Chu Ningning's memory, even if there are such all-rounders in human history, there are definitely not many of them.

Just as Chu Ningning was panicking, the second play of the song was finished.

Guo Weijun's face was filled with excitement:

"It's settled! It's settled!"

"This will definitely be the theme song this time. There won't be any surprises. If any leader disagrees, I will personally battle him!"

"Ningning, you have done a great job this time!"

Chu Ningning came back to her senses and said quickly: "Director, this is my job."

Guo Weijun was not stupid either, he immediately asked:
"That friend of yours is also a musician, right?"

"Don't worry, we have to pay him what he deserves. By the way, what's his name?"

Chu Ningning: "Um...Xu Yi."

"Xu Yi?" Although Guo Weimin didn't pay much attention to the big and small stars in the music industry or even the entertainment industry, he seemed to be familiar with this name: "Why do I feel like I have heard of this name before? Are you sure he is your friend?"

Chu Ningning: "Yeah."

"Wait, let me think, let me think..."

Guo Weijun racked his brains and finally remembered who Xu Yi was from some corners of his memories. He looked at Chu Ningning in surprise: "Xu Yi is the most popular singer now, right? I didn't expect that you are also friends with him, Ningning? But, doesn't he sing pop songs? How come he can grasp the main melody of this song so well?"

Chu Ningning smiled and said:
"I do not know then."

"I had dinner with him last night and mentioned this matter unintentionally. He said he would try to help write a song. I didn't take it seriously. Who knows..."

Hearing this, Guo Weijun thought to himself that it was not bad.

There was a problem with the idea of ​​finding someone to write the theme song before. I always thought that young singers did not have a deep understanding of the development of the motherland in recent years, and what they wrote would definitely not be as strong as those of the older generation.

I didn’t expect that young people nowadays are so amazing!
I only heard Guo Weijun say:

"Since he's your friend, then this matter will be easy."

"First of all, the copyright of this song must belong to the organization. Of course, everyone can sing it, but the copyright cannot be owned by individuals to prevent some unforeseen situations."

"Ningning, you may need to discuss this with Xu Yi."

"We will pay for the copyright."

"Secondly, who is this singer? I think it fits the song very well. We don't need to think about it anymore, just use her!"

Chu Ningning nodded and said, "If I heard correctly, it should be Li Fei singing."

Guo Weijun didn't care about Li Fei or Wang Fei, and said directly:
"Go find Xu Yi to confirm the singer, and then contact him."

"Well... the budget for this cultural performance is very limited. Let's see if she can help sing for free."

"I'll try." Chu Ningning spoke very conservatively.

In fact, for this kind of thing, don’t even mention not paying.

Even if you ask artists or singers to put in their own money, they will be happy to do so.

Why?

That's a stage that you can't get on even if you pay money!

"Director, it's alright, I'll get busy now?"

"go Go!"

Guo Weijun was in a good mood, and he kept saying, "This is really a big help. Go ahead, I'll listen to this song a few more times. This song is a bit addictive. I feel like I can hum along after listening to it a few more times. Not bad, it's really good."

It can be seen that Guo Weijun is indeed very satisfied with this song.

I can't be dissatisfied...

You have to know that in the previous life, this song served as the theme song of a movie. It’s hard to say how the movie was, but this song became popular all over the country in just a few days.

From a fifty-year-old lady to a three-year-old child, everyone can hum along.

Catchy and melodious.

The key is, this is a patriotic song!
You can't suffer any loss or be fooled by singing, so how can you refuse to sing a few lines?
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when Chu Ningning came out of the director's office. She had a proud expression on her face and her two dimples were full of smiles.

We just confirmed our relationship yesterday, and today you helped me so much.

Can you be unhappy?

What does this prove? It proves that I have a very good vision. Although I found a celebrity as my boyfriend, this celebrity is different from all other celebrities.

Xu Yi can indeed be considered as:

Out of silt but not stained.

The entertainment industry is such a quagmire, whoever enters it won’t get covered in mud, right?
But Xu Yi is still as clean as if he has never been to the fields.

As soon as I returned to my office, I heard a little girl next to me say to Chu Ningning: "Sister Ningning, what are you so happy about? I see the corners of your mouth are almost curled up to the sky!"

Chu Ningning calmed herself down and said:

"Nothing much, it's just that the theme song for this cultural performance should be decided."

The little sister asked in surprise, "Really? Which one did you choose?" Chu Ningning was very cautious and said conservatively:

“It’s not completely decided yet.”

"The director should submit it today. If nothing unexpected happens, I think the leaders will be able to reach a consensus happily."

Little sister: “Is it a new song?”

Chu Ningning nodded.

The little sister said quickly:

"Sister Ningning, what song is it?"

"It must be a special song that makes you so confident, right? Can you let me listen to it in advance?"

"Hmm..." Chu Ningning was a little embarrassed, and then shook her head and said, "No. Wait for two days. When the organization has made a final decision, you will definitely be able to listen."

The little sister pouted and said:
"Sister Ningning, I beg you, please!"

"It would be fine if you didn't tell me this, but you told me and then didn't let me hear it. Aren't you trying to make me miserable?"

Chu Ningning thought about it and felt that Yan Qi was one of the people preparing for the performance, so it should be harmless for her to listen.

It’s just that this song cannot be worn outside for the time being.

Then, Chu Ningning said seriously:

"I can play it for you, but you have to promise me. First, don't record it. Second, don't let anyone else know, not even a word of the lyrics. Third, don't tell anyone else that you've heard this song. Do you understand?"

Yan Qi saluted playfully:
"You still don't believe me?"

Then, the two of them repeated the same scene in the office.

Chu Ningning was fine, she had recovered from the shock.

The little girl Yan Qi was so excited that after listening to it three times, she asked Chu Ningning to listen to it again, saying it was the last time.

Chu Ningning did not agree.

If you keep listening to this, you can play it on repeat for the whole day. Is there any end to it?

"Forget it, Xiaoqi, just wait for two days!"

“Once the song is officially released, you can listen to it 24 hours a day and no one will care.”

Yan Qi pressed on and asked, "Sister Ningning, who wrote this song? It's amazing, every word touched my heart."

Chu Ningning thought about it and said with a smile:
"This... is also kept secret!"

The little episode with Yan Qi delayed him for nearly half an hour. In a blink of an eye, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only half an hour left before Chu Ningning got off work.

She finally sent a message to Xu Yi:
"I've received the song. Are you free tonight?"
-
"Of course there must be one."

"Okay, I'll pick a place and we can have a meal together. By the way, I'll also share with you our leader's opinion on this song."
-
"Row!"

……

In the courtyard of the capital city.

Xu Yi looked at the phone screen and muttered in his heart:
Could you please share your thoughts on this song?

It shouldn’t be!

I wrote the lyrics and composed the music myself, and Sister Fei sang it herself. It's a perfect combination. What else can we find fault with?
Could it be that the leader wants to have a duet between a man and a woman?
Why not make your requirements clear in advance?

If not this, what else can we communicate?

Director Chu’s boss is most likely an official. How could he possibly understand professional music?
Xu Yi just looked at the chat records between him and Chu Ningning, secretly guessing for more than ten minutes, and finally gave up. He found that from his perspective, he could not guess what the leader wanted to communicate.

However, no matter what they communicate, Xu Yi has three principles.

Don’t change the song.

Don’t change the song.

Don’t change the song.

At most you can specify the singer, but the song is what it is, and no one can change it.

Don't use it if it has been changed.

He calmed himself down a bit, then went out and hailed a taxi, and followed the directions Chu Ningning gave him, heading directly to the restaurant he was destined for.

This restaurant is located on an artificial lake next to the Second Ring Road.

It was renovated from an old courtyard.

Unlike ordinary hutong courtyards, this courtyard is more like a garden courtyard in the capital.

There are winding paths inside and the environment is first-class.

It is impossible for ordinary diners to find such a restaurant. Even on Dianping.com, it is impossible to find it. Only people with connections can come to visit.

Xu Yi glanced at the two stone lions at the door.

Well, it's been a while.

Although it looks unimpressive, people who know the business can tell at a glance that this is a stone lion that has truly witnessed history and has a story. Its value is far different from the stone lions produced on modern assembly lines.

"Xu Yi, here!"

Chu Ningning was waiting at the door. When she saw Xu Yi, she took the initiative to greet him.

Xu Yi stepped forward:
"Director Chu is going to spend a lot of money!"

"We chose this place. I don't think we can leave today without several thousand dollars."

Chu Ningning didn't care at all:

"It should."

After entering the private room, Chu Ningning asked Xu Yi to order whatever he wanted to eat, and he didn't need to be polite to her. Xu Yi would not be really rude, because he knew Chu Ningning's family background, so she must be rich. But it was not certain how much money one could make working at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

At least, in Xu Yi's eyes, he is definitely not as rich as himself.

After ordering the dishes, Xu Yi asked:

"Song, received?"

"Hmm..." Chu Ningning smiled sweetly, a smile that was so rare. At least, before the two of them broke the window paper and confirmed their relationship, Xu Yi had rarely seen the sweet girl Chu Ningning. He saw more of the director Chu Ningning.

Just listen to Chu Ningning continue:

"received."

"My leader and I have heard it before. Xu Yi, did you ask Li Fei to sing this song?"

Xu Yi nodded and explained, "After I wrote this song, I felt that the only person in China who could perform this song well was Li Fei. So I invited her. If you don't have a more suitable candidate, I strongly suggest that this song be sung by Li Fei. There will be absolutely no problem."

Chu Ningning suddenly said:

"It seems like you and Li Fei have a good relationship."

"We are all in the music circle, so we can be considered friends." Xu Yi replied indifferently.

Chu Ningning hummed, then said:
"Li Fei sings, no problem."

"After listening to the song 'My Motherland and I', our leader had no problem with it. He will be responsible for promoting this matter. Unless there are major accidents, this song should become the theme song of this year's art performance!"

After hearing this, Xu Yi finally let go of his worry.

He looked at Chu Ningning complainingly:
"You scared me."

"Why couldn't you just text me in advance and say you wanted to represent your leader and share your views on this song with me?"

“I thought the song wasn’t good!”

Seeing this, Chu Ningning was overjoyed and said with a smile:
"Our leader is very satisfied with this song. This is what I want to communicate!"

"Who told you that communication is necessarily a bad thing?"

Xu Yi surrendered immediately:

"Forget it, the system is too complicated, and it's really not something a rookie like me can adapt to. So... Ningning, will your leader reimburse this meal?" (End of this chapter)
