Chapter 248 Anxiety

The night breeze blows on the face, taking away the fatigue of the day, making people feel extremely relaxed and comfortable, and the air is filled with the tranquility and beauty of the night.

The two people sitting on the bench snuggled together, enjoying the quietness that belongs only to them.

Lin Zhixing kneaded the little hand in his palm, turned his head and asked: "Pigeon, your birthday is in a week, do you want any gift?"

Song Ge squinted her eyes and looked up and asked, "You remember my birthday very clearly!"

"Do you think I will forget it?"

"No, I know the door code of the RV is my birthday."

Lin Zhixing smiled and asked: "Then what gift do you want, or is there any place you want to go?"

Song Ge pursed her lips and thought for a while, "I just want a rose as a gift. As for the place I want to go... I want to ride the Tianjin Eye Ferris wheel once. I used to pass by there after my part-time job. It's really beautiful."

"No problem."

Lin Zhixing raised his hand and scratched her nose lovingly, "All satisfied!"

...

On the way back hand in hand, the two were attracted by a male street singer by the river. The melody played by the wooden guitar connected to the speakers was particularly familiar.

"If you have too many complaints about this world"

"If you fall, you dare not keep going forward"

The street singer was singing the song "Rice Fragrance" with a good voice, and there were several passers-by walking around.

"Pigeon, it's my song!"

It's rare to encounter such a scene. Lin Zhixing was interested. He smiled and came to the street singer, pointing at the standing microphone in front of him.

The street singer turned around, his face full of surprise, nodded and stepped back, giving up his position.

Lin Zhixing stepped forward, grabbed the microphone, nodded and continued to sing.

"Remember you said home is the only castle"

"Keep running along the river of rice fragrance"

When the onlookers didn't see Lin Zhixing's handsome face clearly.

Passers-by: "You sing really well, just like the original singer."

When they saw it clearly.

Passers-by: "Oh yeah!"

"This guy who sings for money can brag about it for the rest of his life!"

Originally, there were three or five people watching, but in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by exclamations.

Some people didn’t understand why “Singing Around the World” was recorded in China, not like a reality show in foreign streets.

Now they understand.

With Lin Zhixing’s popularity, he may not be able to walk out of a street in China in a day.

…

…

Two days later.

In the recording studio of Yida Records.

“She sang about meeting old friends in a foreign land”

“One step and one sentence are lovesickness”

“The people off the stage are on the list of successful candidates”

“I never recognized the old acquaintances on the stage”

The pleasant opera singing voices in the recording studio, Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen with headphones sitting in front of the control console. Dong Chen held a copy of the lyrics in his hand, watching the members of the 416 Art Girls Group singing hard through the glass, and was so surprised that he shook his head repeatedly.

“Fuck!”

As soon as they opened their mouths, they were the essence of the country, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I was also the essence of the country.

Some pop songs are operatic for the sake of operatic, and they add operatic lines to the places that are not suitable for operatic, which is so unpleasant.

This song, with the people who sing opera, is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

When Dong Chen was a child, he didn't like his elders switching to the opera channel, as he always thought that the babbling was boring. Now that he heard the combination of opera and pop music, he understood why the ancients liked to listen to music in brothels and marry famous opera singers.

"Let's change it!"

Lin Zhixing communicated with the girls in the recording studio through the microphone, "Let's sing the chorus directly at the beginning, because considering the short video form of promotion, we must catch the ears of netizens in the shortest time."

The five girls made an OK gesture.

"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, rain after a long drought, wedding night, and passing the imperial examination."

Dong Chen murmured, turned his head and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, this song is about the four great happy events in ancient times, right?"

Lin Zhixing shook his head.

The lyrics of this song are mixed with too many poems or allusions, so it is normal that he can't understand them.

"In fact, the story of the song is in the name. "Looking out the Window" is about a woman looking out the window to see if her beloved has returned. The lover has passed the imperial examination, while the woman is working on stage to make a living. When they meet again, they are speechless and can only express their sorrow with the lyrics from the play."

Dong Chen gave a thumbs up after listening to it, "No wonder there is a sad mood in it. We are both in nine years of compulsory education. Brother Lin, you are so good!"

Lin Zhixing waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Just now you said the four great happy events in ancient times. Do you know what the four great sad events in ancient times are?"

Dong Chen shook his head, "There are four more sad events? I haven't heard of them."

Lin Zhixing smiled and explained: "The four great sad events in ancient times are meeting an old friend in a foreign land - a creditor, a drop of rain after a long drought, the wedding night - next door, and passing the imperial examination - the same name."

"Hahaha, I laughed to death!"

...

"OK, very, very good!"

After two hours of careful consideration of every word, Lin Zhixing was very satisfied with the performance of the girls of the 416 Art Girls Group.

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for your contribution to us!"

The five girls smiled brightly and bowed to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Lin Zhixing pointed at Dong Chen beside him and said, "Are the Hanfu ready? I'll ask your brother Dong Chen to go back to school with you and take a video for you. He takes great videos. I'll help you promote it on Weibo later. We'll send out the video on time at 8 o'clock in the evening."

"OK."

The five girls nodded enthusiastically, full of expectations for the work.

After leaving the recording studio, Lin Zhixing took out his mobile phone and edited a Weibo post.

[Have you not heard enough of "One Night in Peking"? At 8 o'clock tonight, the Chinese style song "Exploring the Window" composed by me will be released on the short video platform. Everyone is welcome to listen. 】

After posting on Weibo...

Lin Zhixing couldn't help but think of Teacher Guo's words. For cross talk to be carried forward, at least there must be people who listen to it. For Peking Opera to be passed down, it must be sung first.

I hope these girls will at least open the door for some people to re-examine Peking Opera.

…

…

At seven o'clock in the evening.

"How about Brother Lin?"

Dong Chen showed the edited short video to Lin Zhixing.

Lin Zhixing read it twice and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, the filming was really good. You must have a share of the credit for making it popular."

Dong Chen rubbed his chin and thought: "Brother Lin, do you think that after this kind of song becomes popular, can the quintessence of Chinese culture really be revived?"

"Not sure."

Lin Zhixing shook his head and said: "I think if the quintessence of Chinese culture wants to be revived, it must seize the young people's market. They don't like the original expression of opera at all. It has to be like this, first integrate into the popular culture bit by bit, and slowly There is no doubt that the only way to capture people’s hearts is to listen to them beautifully. Once they like it, then promote the authentic Chinese essence.”

"Yeah, indeed."

Dong Chen nodded, "I don't know if it's possible, but it's the only way. We'll know after we leave."

…

7:50 p.m.

Peking Opera Academy.

Female dormitory 416.

The five girls stood in front of the screen, filled with anticipation and fear. Lin Zhixing's Weibo account increased their account number by 80,000 followers.

So many people are waiting to hear it with great expectations, and they are afraid that the song will not be liked by everyone.

At the same time, as the only person who successfully auditioned for Good Luck Studio, countless colleagues are also waiting for the release of this song. If the song does not make any waves, they will definitely be ridiculed.

What exactly will be the result?

In the uneasy mood of the five girls.

——The song "Exploring the Window" was released on time.
