The two walked a few steps forward, and Cheng Yanqiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jay Chou, who was playing the piano.
"What's wrong?"
"This guy changed my tune."
"Maybe I changed it because I didn't remember how to play it later."
Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, "Probably not, the change is very popular."
When it comes to music theory knowledge, Yu Dong can only listen and cannot comment. Regarding popular and classical, he can only listen roughly based on his feelings. However, Cheng Yanqiu said before that there seems to be some pattern or rule that can determine classical and popular.
After listening for a while, Yu Dong also heard that the tune had changed and it had indeed become more popular.
Yu Dong's definition of popular and classical is very simple. Classical is difficult to remember, while popular is easy to remember.
The version played by Jay Chou now is indeed smoother and easier to remember than Cheng Yanqiu's version.
After playing it a few more times, Jay Chou actually started singing.
"Remember that summer
The sun outside the window is so bright
You can only eat watermelon at home
You stand under the plane tree
You can only eat watermelon at home
The sun outside the window is so bright
You standing under the shade of the sycamore tree
looking into the pond
Many little frogs
…”
Yu Dong scratched his head, what the hell are these lyrics... The melody is quite nice, and it has a familiar feeling, similar to a song by Jay Chou.
After thinking for a while, Yu Dong suddenly remembered that this tune was quite similar to "Split".
This made Yu Dong feel very magical. The melody of this song was completely different from that of "Eat Watermelon", but Jay Chou managed to come up with the melody of "Split" just by playing it.
Music creation looks very different from literary creation.
Cheng Yanqiu listened to a piece and laughed: "It was originally a very passionate piece of music, but he changed it and suddenly lost a lot of sense. A young boy under twenty years old is quite sentimental. Although the lyrics are messy, the melody is quite thoughtful.
Yes, let’s polish it again and put it in the next album.”
…
Under normal circumstances, the Deep Space Park will not officially open to the public until eight o'clock, but there were so many people coming in advance these two days that it had to open early.
Because it takes time to enter the gate, if it is not opened in advance, many people may not be able to get in in time when the event starts.
Cheng Yanqiu was waiting in the lounge of the music hall to play the opening song at nine o'clock, when Ning Jing, Li Bing and Hu Jing ran over.
Seeing Ning Jing and the three of them, Yu Dong frowned and asked, "There are no activities for you today, why are you here suddenly?"
Hu Jing was afraid of being managed by Yu Dong. When she heard what Yu Dong said, she quickly blamed her, "It was Sister Ning Jing who brought me here."
Ning Jing rolled her eyes, "You're a little too timid, brother-in-law. Although we don't have any activities today, we also love music, so it's a good idea to come and listen to it."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Dajing is right. You can come and listen to music even if there is no event. They came in advance anyway, so we can't let them stay in the hotel all the time."
Ever since Hu Jing and Ning Jing got together, Ning Jing changed from Xiao Jing to Da Jing, and Hu Jing became Xiao Jing.
Ning Jing hugged Cheng Yanqiu's arm and said with a smile, "My sister is still nice to me."
Yu Dong twitched his lips and stood up, "I won't disturb your sisterly love anymore, but remember, don't run around and pay attention to the impact, especially Hu Jing."
"I understand, Teacher Yu." Hu Jing nodded obediently.
It's not that Yu Dong is making a fuss out of a molehill, but Hu Jing is really too famous now and it's hard not to be careful.
After walking out of the lounge, Yu Dong took a stroll around the music hall before the event started.
Although it is a music museum, there are now many things related to film and television dramas, such as posters of "Love Through Time", "Love Song of Stars and Moon" and "The Pianist on the Sea".
Whether it’s Deep Space Music or Alpha, they are basically recruiting young musicians this year.
At this time, the benefits of giving shares are reflected. Because he holds shares, Zhou Jianhui is not anxious to achieve results in a short time, but focuses on the future.
Since Zhou Jianhui entered Deep Space, Deep Space Music has only signed one mature and popular musician, and that is Zhang Yu, who just released the album "Moon·Sun".
Zhang Yu founded his own company, which was originally owned by Keyi EMI. After Zhou Jianhui left Keyi EMI, he tried to contact Zhang Yu, and finally the two parties reached a cooperation last month.
However, because the cooperation has just been reached and there are copyright issues with "Moon Sun", Zhang Yu will not be present at the Deep Space Music Day, but his wife, the famous lyricist Xiao Huiwen, will be present.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu didn't come, otherwise, today's Deep Space Music Day really wouldn't be able to hold activities around Jay Chou.
Recently, Deep Sky has been busy promoting Jay Chou's works to foreign countries. The previous operation of "Rooftop" was quite effective.
In order to promote "Rooftop", Deep Space Company found singers from Korea and Neon to cover the song, and then promoted the cover version to karaoke, making the song quickly become a hit duet song between men and women.
In fact, before "Love Song of Stars and Moon" was aired, most of the listeners of Neon and Goryeo did not know that the original singer of this song was Chinese.
Even after "Stars and Moon Love Song" was aired, some people thought that the song in it was a Chinese singer covering a song by a singer from their country. In fact, not many people like Qian Soo-yeon paid attention to the original singer from the beginning.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Kong chose Qian Xiuyan.
Of course, Deep Space Company doesn't really care about this situation. All they want is to quickly promote the songs. Sooner or later, the audience will know who originally sang these songs.
Yu Dong stood on the second floor of the music hall and looked out at the stage. Jay Chou was no longer on stage because the tourists had been let in. There were now a lot of people standing around the stage.
The space at the entrance of the concert hall is still small. After setting up a stage, there is not much space left for the audience.
Yu Dong made a visual inspection and found that there were less than a thousand people standing in front of the stage, which already seemed a bit crowded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the empty space at the back is filled up, and then the left and right sides are added, it is estimated that only three to four thousand people can stand, and five thousand people should not be able to stand.
Of course, if you just want to watch a show, there are two buildings nearby where you can find a place to watch.
"YU, you are already here."
Yu Dong, who was observing the situation downstairs, suddenly heard someone calling him in English from behind, and turned around. It turned out to be Yu Nesbo.
"Long time no see, Nesbo." Yu Dong smiled.
"Not long ago, the scene of you singing on stage last time is still lingering in my mind, like a replayable movie clip, which is often played in my mind." Yu Nesbo opened a message.
joke.
Yu Dong smiled. Nesbo is indeed a person who has the potential to become the king of crime novels. It is personal harm to have to write such a long sentence.
"when did you come?"
"I've been here for a long time. I just walked around the music hall. It's a big place, but the content doesn't seem to be rich enough."
"Don't worry, it will be rich." Yu Dong smiled, "Have you finished the song Jimmy asked you to write last time?"
"It's already written. Do you want me to sing it to you?" Yonesbo made a strumming gesture.
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait until next time. Wait until next time when you really have a guitar in your hand and I have time to appreciate the song seriously."
"No problem." Yu Nesbo smiled, and then looked at the stage, "Jay was up there just now, and I saw it too. He is very talented. I especially like his song "The Clock in the Opposite Direction."
"
Yu Dong was a little surprised, "I thought you would like "Indian Turtle Dove" or "Bullfighting" more."
"Of course these two songs are also very nice, but not special enough. Among the entire album, "The Bell in the Opposite Direction" has an oriental charm, is very special, and the song is also very smooth."
Yu Dong pursed his lips. From a layman's point of view, when it comes to oriental charm, his first reaction is "Lady", but Yu Nesbo must have a reason for saying so.
He probably knew that Yu Dong didn't know much about music, so Yu Nesbo just stopped talking and didn't go any further.
Then the two briefly chatted for a few more words, and finally Yu Dong suddenly asked, "Besides music, are you busy with other things recently?"
This question seemed a bit abrupt. Yu Nesbo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Music is enough to keep me busy."
Yu Dong nodded: "Well, then keep busy with music. Later I will introduce you to a musician who is very similar to you."
"Is it very similar to me?" Nesbo asked in surprise.
"Yeah, very similar."
Yu Dong is talking about Dan Brown. This guy has made a name for himself in music in the past two years, but Brown's music is a bit niche and his reputation is not as good as that of Yu Nesbo, who has just entered the US market.
The reason why they are very similar is because both of them may have given up music, turned to writing, and become world-famous novelists, and the types of novels they wrote are somewhat similar.
It's just that the arrival of Yu Dong changed the trajectory of their lives.
"I really want to meet someone who looks like me." Yu Nesbo raised his eyebrows, then pointed downstairs and said, "It seems that the event is about to start."
Yu Dong turned around and saw that the host of today's event had already taken the stage, and the event should officially start in a while.
"Let's go down too."
…
While Yu Dong was chatting with You Nesbo, more people had gathered around the stage, basically filling up the empty space, and the number of people was still increasing.
Looking from the music hall to the theme hall, you can see that the theme hall faces the music hall. There are many people standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, waiting for the event to start.
Taken together, there must be seven or eight thousand people.
In order to prevent chaos and stampede incidents, many people were on site to maintain order, but in order to get closer to the stage, the audience kept pushing towards the stage.
After the scene stabilized a little, the host on the stage said, "Dear friends, good morning, everyone. I am today's host Li Yonghe. I am very happy to be here..."
The host was borrowed from Dolphin TV. His professional ability is good, but his entertainment quality is not so good.
Originally, Deep Sky wanted Wu Zongxian to guest host, but Wu Zongxian has been very busy during this period. It was not easy to attend the event today, and he had no time to guest host.
Jay Chou and others can perform without rehearsals, but the host must have sufficient preparation time. Even Wu Zongxian's entertaining hosting style must be prepared in advance.
The host told the audience about today's general process on the stage, then briefly introduced today's guests, and talked about the development of deep space music, focusing on the album "Jay Chou"
score.
There were many young girls and boys who came here just for Jay Chou. Every time they heard "Jay Chou", they raised their hands and screamed.
Yu Dong looked at the lively scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing. Jay Chou hadn't come out yet, but these people were already so crazy. How could they come out soon?
People used to say that he had many book fans and they were crazy, but compared with these young fans, they pale into insignificance.
Although there are many fans of his books, during book signings or exchange meetings, fans appear to be quite restrained. Scenes like this where many individuals are jumping up and down and shouting non-stop are rare.
You know, it has only been less than two months since Jay Chou made his official debut.
Even if you count "Rooftop" as his debut song, it was less than a year ago.
In less than a year, the singer can enjoy such treatment, thanks to the hard work of the fans.
Many of these fans don't even know what Jay Chou looks like. When the host came out just now, many people shouted "Jay Chou, Jay Chou", which almost made the atmosphere very embarrassing.
But it doesn't matter. After this appearance, more people will know what Jay Chou looks like.
Not only are there thousands of people at the scene, there are also a row of cameras under the stage, all facing the stage. These cameras come from media outlets across the country. After today, Jay Chou's photos and videos will appear on these media.
The host talked for several minutes and finally said with a smile, "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Cheng Yanqiu, the composer of "Jinghong", to come on stage to play today's opening song for us - Deep Space Suite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yanqiu, who had been waiting behind him, walked onto the stage.
This time, the audience did not admit their mistake and started shouting her name: "Cheng Yanqiu, Cheng Yanqiu!"
Ever since "Eastern Time" aired the video of Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu's performance in Hollywood, Cheng Yanqiu has been remembered by people. Now she is sometimes recognized by passers-by when she walks on the road.
Those who can come to the Deep Space Park to participate in the event today have some knowledge of deep space, and are naturally more familiar with Cheng Yanqiu. Many people have listened to her "Jinghong" and fell in love with this movie soundtrack.
The "Deep Space Suite" that Cheng Yanqiu will play today is actually a combination of "Jinghong" and two other original piano pieces by Cheng Yanqiu. Except for "Jinghong", the other two were specially created for Deep Space Company.
