My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1600 Online (Part 5)

Sunlight streams through the windows of Building 4 at Iman Music in Foley Hill, and occasionally a bird or two flits past the glass windows.

Inside the classroom.

Professor Robert's analysis of the song "500 Miles" is still ongoing.

He finished after about twenty minutes, and then analyzed the music of "500 Miles" again, saying, "The intro: 4 bars, the guitar plays the core chords, laying the foundation for a sense of movement and loneliness. The verse melody is repeated, the lyrics advance the narrative, and each verse is followed by a call-and-response section with the four-line loop of 'a hundred miles,' here..."

Professor Robert drew a wavy line on a section of the blackboard and said, "Use the harmonica and slide guitar to simulate a train whistle, allowing the emotion to pause briefly before pushing forward again. The outro, repeated and gradually fading, is like a train disappearing into the distance, leaving a lingering aftertaste."

Professor Robert glanced at his watch, noticing it was almost time, and then looked seriously at the students below the stage, saying, "The core soul of '500 Miles' is repetition and looping. Such a musical and lyrical structure is extremely rare in the music industry. The emotions are amplified layer by layer in each repetition and loop, ultimately transforming '500 Miles' from a geographical distance into an emotional chasm that is insurmountable in the hearts of those far from home."

Done.

Robert laughed and said, "Let's guess, in the second episode of 'Voices from Abroad,' will it be host Derek Yee kissing a donkey's rear end or musician Zhang You...?"

The once quiet classroom became lively again.

"Nedep"

As someone from the same country as Zhang You, the girl naturally sided with him.

"open"

One student remarked.

Seeing the students in the classroom discussing amongst themselves, Robert didn't stop them. Instead, he smiled and said, "In that case, the one who guessed correctly can assign some homework to the students who didn't guess correctly. Don't look at me like that, because this is going to be quite interesting."

With that, Robert smiled and left the classroom.

"Nana, the Zhangs in your country are amazing!"

A foreign girl came over and said.

"kindness"

The girl smiled and nodded.

Foreigners may not know Zhang You, but she knows her very well. After all, she went back home for the Chinese New Year, and she even went to see the movie "Crazy Stone" in the cinema. It was absolutely hilarious.

With the broadcast of "Voices from Abroad" last night.

The song "500 Miles" spread rapidly overseas, and thanks to the program, its spread was even faster and wider.

Actually, both the English versions of "Goodbye Kiss" and "Legend" are of high quality, but unfortunately, Zhang You is not well-known abroad, which limits the spread of these two songs. In addition, there is another key issue: many people abroad have indeed heard these two songs and "She", but they do not know what he looks like.

He's a typical example of someone whose song is popular but he himself isn't.

There's nothing we can do about it. The main problem is that none of the songs he releases have music videos. They spread through the songs alone. Who would search for what the person looks like just because they like a song? This isn't a blind date.

That afternoon, too.

When Taylor Swift was asked about being pinned down by Zhang You in the first episode of "Voices Abroad" at an event, she smiled and said, "I was surprised... but not surprised at all," in response to the host's question.

"Why!?"

The host pressed further. "What's surprising is that I lost, but what's not surprising is that Zhang is a fan of mine."

talking.

Taylor couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You know what! I was really surprised when Zhang asked me to sign his photobook. If I remember correctly, he's a Grammy Award winner in classical music. I'm so happy that my fans are so talented, especially since I really love 'Love Story'."

"Taylor, this is a competition."

The host, clearly a Taylor Swift fan, earnestly reminded her, "You lost to Zhang! How could you lose?! Do you know how the reports are going about it today?! The Fleet Hill Post says you've lost your ambition!"

"no no no"

Taylor immediately corrected him, "First of all, you need to know that I wasn't the only one who lost on 'Voices Abroad.' Besides, shouldn't a country folk song like '500 Miles' have won?! This song is absolutely fantastic; I've never heard such a good country folk song before. And Zhang said that '500 Miles' was inspired by my previous songs. If that's the case, I have to take responsibility for my actions."

In the living room.

Li Xiaohong watched with some surprise as Taylor faced the host's questions on the television screen.

Zhang You also heard it.

His expression was a bit strange. Aren't foreigners supposed to be straightforward and rarely beat around the bush? How could this Taylor be lying through his teeth?

It's understandable that Zhang You had a misunderstanding about asking her for an autograph on a photo album, but it's really going too far to say that his song "500 Miles" was inspired by listening to her songs.

This isn't just putting on makeup; it's gilding one's own ego.

"You really admire Taylor!?"

Liu Fei asked curiously.

"I worship my ass!"

Zhang You rolled his eyes.

Hearing Zhang You say that, Li Xiaohong knew what was going on. It was mainly because Zhang You was too powerful, which led to... Taylor was proud to have such a fan, so she said that on purpose.

Women are sometimes like this; they always like to find ways to satisfy their vanity. This applies to both China and the West; women are all like this. They either show off their kids or flaunt their husbands. Last year, there was a variety show in China where a female celebrity brought her husband, who worked at a bank, to participate in the recording. Then, the man was flaunted by his wife.

When it comes to showing off... even Jiang Yiren is no exception.

When her two sons were first born, she would post pictures of them on her WeChat Moments every few days. Later, she stopped showing them off, either because Zhang You told her off or because she realized her mistake. Otherwise, she would have posted an update every three days at most.

Li Xiaohong guessed that her own Feifei probably wanted to post it too, but couldn't, so she would only take two photos of Shishi and Luoluo with her phone before going to bed and save them in her phone's photo album.

We really should give her a chance.

Her WeChat Moments might be another stage for her to showcase herself after her second retirement.

On the television, Taylor was still talking, this time she said very seriously, "But in the next episode, I will definitely do my best to get Zhang to kiss the donkey's butt."

“Nedep will be very happy to hear what you said. I heard that he has already ordered a female donkey from a farmer, and it is a mature female donkey. Nedep also posted a message on social media saying that he has found a pretty girlfriend for Zhang.”
