My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1620 Song Three
night.

Zhang You wasn't busy with his own business. He mainly thought about writing a song based on the lyrical genre. With this song as a foundation, just like when he saw the rural folk song genre while recording promotional content, Zhang You felt that there were basically no problems.

After carefully reading through the idol drama script, Zhang You sent his revised version to Chairman Tian of Feitian Entertainment's email address around 11 o'clock.

Zhang You also inquired about the film "The Vanished She". He learned that filming had been completed and that director Han Dong was working overtime on post-production. However, this did not take much time, mainly because the script he wrote was based on the version to be released, which reduced the director's post-production time considerably.

In any case, judging from the current situation, there is absolutely no problem with its release during the summer season.

Chairman Tian also had such plans.

There's also that idol drama from Tianyu Entertainment. I heard Bao'er say it'll be finished soon, and I think it'll be sent to him in a while. Zhang You isn't in a hurry, but Bao'er is.

Early the next morning.

As usual, Zhang You got up early to go for a run. After returning, he sat down to have breakfast with Li Xiaohong and Liu Fei. Around 8:30, Zhang You received a call from Boqie.

This was not surprising. The quality of the song "Walk Through Fire" speaks for itself. Shortly after Li Xiaohong left, Liu Fei's nanny also went out to buy groceries.

Only Zhang You, Liu Fei, and their two children remained at home.

Zhang You sat on the living room sofa and listened to Katie's song "Dream". The song was sung with a soothing melody, which was fine, but in Zhang You's impression, fast-paced and dance-like performances were the norm in the international music scene to achieve good results.

Purely lyrical songs are indeed not easy to sell well.

The English song on Earth called "Dancing with Your Ghost" is a ballad, but it also includes a climactic part. However, this is just Zhang You's personal opinion, and he hasn't done any specific analysis on whether it's true or not.

After listening to it several times, Zhang You still couldn't figure out where to start. He couldn't just copy the super popular "Dancing with Your Ghost" from Earth! That wouldn't be an adaptation, but a completely new song. Putting aside the show's rules, it wasn't worth Zhang You doing that.

Using a song with hundreds of millions of plays here is simply a waste.

It's perfectly fine to keep it... Just this one song can make a singer famous. And it's not just foreigners who can sing English songs well; many singers in China can speak English, they just haven't found lyricists who can write good English songs.

Zhang You suddenly remembered his eldest apprentice. He recalled telling her to study English well, but he wondered how well she had written it, and whether she could pronounce even a single English word properly.

He is capable as a mentor, but he can't produce a new generation of international female singers who don't even know English.

Bathed in the morning sunlight, Liu Fei, who was watching Shi Shi and Luo Luo's every move, would occasionally glance at Zhang You. Seeing him sometimes looking down at the lyrics, sometimes shaking his head, and sometimes frowning, Liu Fei smiled.

After seeing Zhang You's expression while he was working, Liu Fei felt that Zhang You's focus at that moment was particularly attractive, just like when he was practicing singing "Lover" in her home room.

Looking at the name of the song by Katie.

Zhang You looked at the lyrics again. As he read, his expression changed, and then he laughed. Liu Fei didn't disturb him, but from his expression, she knew that Zhang You knew how to adapt the lyrics.

I was just thinking about it.

Liu Fei then heard Zhang You suddenly start singing, "You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turu me on..."

Seeing Zhang You sing this part, she subconsciously turned to look at her.

Liu Fei turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

She understood the meaning of the lyrics, which translated to "You make me feel like I'm living in a youthful dream, you make me infatuated." The next line was "It keeps me awake at night," and then Zhang You stopped singing because she realized that the next line was "Let's fly far away and never look back."

However, after figuring out how to revise it, Zhang You picked up a pen and quickly started writing. After finishing the lyrics, Zhang You carefully checked them twice and found no problems before creating the sheet music.

"Is it finished!?"

After a while.

Liu Fei asked curiously.

The adaptation is now complete.

Zhang You turned his somewhat stiff head back and forth a few times, then replied with a smile.

"You seem to revise and write songs very easily. Do you have any secrets?"

Liu Fei asked the question she most wanted to ask.

"There are patterns to this. The three core elements of song lyrics are rhythm, narrative, and singability. To put it simply, lyrics can serve as a vehicle for musical literature. As long as they conform to auditory logic and satisfy emotional expression, there's no problem. The verses explain the background, characters, and story. For example, in the song 'Sunny Day' that I wrote for Xu Lun, there's a line that says, 'The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year I was born.' The little yellow flower is a concrete timeline used to lay the groundwork for the narrative of youth."

Zhang You explained with a smile, "The core of the chorus is the emotional outburst and the memorable moment. Its function is to extract the core theme of the song, just like the core of the song 'Ask' is 'misplaced affection,' and then it narrates from a woman's perspective."

Zhang You doesn't know how to write songs. The reason he can talk so eloquently now is simply because he's all talk and no action.

If he were to actually write an original song, Zhang You would be completely clueless.

Zhang You naturally knew the framework for songwriting, but it wasn't something that could be accomplished simply by having a framework. Apart from his singing skills, he was no different from ordinary people in other aspects, except that he had the skill of copying.

"So you mean you really understand women!?"

Liu Fei asked this question with a smile.

"..."

Zhang You was taken aback.

"The book 'Question' is indeed well-written. Many people say that if you hadn't had seven or eight relationships, it would be impossible to write about women's hearts to this extent. Even Sister Li said this before."

Liu Fei turned to look at Zhang You, and asked with a smile, "I want to hear the truth. How many relationships have you had? Was there ever a woman who waited for you until late at night?"

"You'll have to ask Brother Zongsheng about that."

talking.

Before Liu Fei could react, Zhang You laughed first, laughing twice before speaking, "Okay! Actually, what I wanted to express in this song is that the hardest road in life is the road of the heart, the hardest emotion to grasp is feeling, and the most unfathomable love is love that comes from desire. I didn't deliberately write about women's thoughts, because no one can guess what women's thoughts are. I just changed the perspective, but it caused many people to misunderstand."

Seeing that Liu Fei was still looking at him, Zhang You continued, "Actually, it's not just women; many men feel the same way. No matter how much a person gives in this life, they're not afraid. What they fear most is misplaced affections, which exhausts their time and wastes their youth. So... Liu Fei, I don't want you to look back on yourself years later and find yourself covered in wounds. Yesterday, your agent, Li Xiaohong, hoped I would let you go. Originally, I didn't want to ask you, but since we've come this far, I want to ask you: do you want me to let you go?!"
