Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Promotional song? Is it still early?" Yu Dongqing.

"Mr. Li came to the crew the day before yesterday and mentioned this matter. The investment in this movie is so large, the publicity and distribution work must be kept up and preparations must be made in advance."

Yu Dongqing knew that Mr. Li was Li Wan he said.

"Okay, I get it."

In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" had a total of four promotional songs, "Wandering with the Earth" sung by Liu Huan, "Have Kind" by Meng Meiqi of Rocket Girls 101, "Go Wandering" by Zhou Bichang and "Star" by Yang Zongwei .

They all sound pretty good.

But Yu Dongqing always felt that something was missing.

"Wandering with the Earth" sung by Liu Huan is very atmospheric, but the song itself is not easy to sing.

"You have the kind" is a bit out of place.

Zhou Bichang's "Go Wandering" is pretty good.

Yang Zongwei's "Star" doesn't seem to be very popular.

Of course, there are many classic songs in the original time and space that fit the theme of this movie, but Yu Dongqing couldn't remember them all at the moment.

Not urgent.

Think slowly.

Shangguan Feifei seemed tired after singing for a while, so she sat next to Yu Dongqing and drank beer.

At this time, Li Li picked up the microphone and was singing a song.

I found you in the crowd

Everything has changed and there is friendship

From now on I find beauty in my heart

Found the place of infatuated love

It is the classic martial arts song "Life is Meaningful".

While singing, I kept looking this way.

"Feifei, Li Li asked you to sing a duet with his love song." Du Xuefeng, who was standing next to him, joked.

Although Du Xuefeng was not very familiar with Li Li, anyone who was not blind could tell from Li Li's performance tonight that he was catching up with Guan Feifei.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Feifei glanced at Li Li and said, "It's boring, a little boy, what does he know about love, and his singing is not good."

Yu Dongqing heard it.

I guess this guy is out of luck.

The girl doesn't like him at all.

Shangguan Feifei didn't seem to care about this, but chatted with Yu Dongqing.

"Uncle Yu, I went back to the United States during the Chinese New Year and bought a few of your vinyl records. I originally wanted to listen to them, but I didn't expect that my dad likes them so much."

"Really?" Yu Dongqing smiled and said, "Although Dad is a few years older than me, he is still considered a contemporary. Naturally, he likes to listen to these songs."

These songs are all classic songs from the original time and space of the 1980s and 1990s.

How could people of that era not like to hear it.

"My dad said that although he often listens to English songs, Chinese songs are the most charming."

Ah?

Why does this sentence sound familiar?

At this time, Li Li had already finished singing the song "Life is Meaningful" by himself. He was disappointed when he saw that Shangguan Feifei and Yu Dongqing were chatting and did not want to come up and sing duet with him.

He picked up the microphone, ordered another song, and continued singing:

Give me a ladle of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water

That wine-like Yangtze River water

The taste of drunkenness is the taste of homesickness

Give me a ladle of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water

"Four Rhymes of Nostalgia"!

Yu Dongqing was a little surprised when he heard this.

This song is not very popular, especially among young people. Why does Li Li sing it?

Yu Dongqing immediately discovered the reason.

Shangguan Feifei was originally chatting, but she quickly stopped talking when she heard Li Li singing this song, and watched Li Li listen quietly.

It turned out to be the singer Shangguan Feifei.

"Do you like listening to this song?" Du Xuefeng was surprised.

Shangguan Feifei shook her head.

"It's not me, it's my dad. Among the albums written by Uncle Yu, my dad likes to listen to this song the most, but I don't quite understand it."

People like Shangguan Feifei who grew up in the United States will naturally not understand.

"My dad was very excited after hearing this. He was suddenly ready to accept the invitation from Yenching University, resign from his professorship at the University of San Diego, and return to China to teach."

"Ah? No way? Your dad just made such an impulse after listening to Director Yu's song?" Du Xuefeng was a little unbelievable.

"Of course not!" Shangguan Feifei said: "Actually, my dad has wanted to return to China for a long time. His alma mater, Yan University, sent an invitation two years ago to welcome him back to teach. However, my dad is still hesitant due to various reasons. This year he finally Decided!"

"Okay. Both of you, father and daughter, have returned to China. Where is your mother?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

"Of course I'm coming back. My mother said that there is an old Chinese saying that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog." Shangguan Feifei replied.

Oh My God.

Is this coming from an American woman?

At this time, Du Xuefeng also joined in the fun and joked.

"Feifei, if all three of your family have returned to China, then you should quickly find a Chinese son-in-law and become a complete Chinese."

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Feifei nodded seriously: "I will seriously consider this issue."

ah?

It seems like that brat Li Li still has some fun?

This guy sang this song to attract the girl's attention, and it seemed that he had achieved his goal.

"So, Uncle Yu." Shangguan Feifei turned to look at Yu Dongqing and suddenly changed the subject:

"I suddenly thought of "The Wandering Earth". In fact, this movie is also a nostalgia for my hometown in a sense, so I think the later theme song should reflect this."

"I think so too." Du Xuefeng echoed, "It's best to reflect it in the promotional song."

After hearing the two people's words, Yu Dong suddenly remembered an old song.

He already knows.

That song is the most suitable as a promotional song.

The days passed quickly, and in September, the special effects production of "The Wandering Earth" finally came to an end, and Yu Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Generally speaking, the special effects are very well-made, surpassing the special effects of the original time and space. After all, the investment of 900 million is not in vain.

It rained in Shanghai today, and the sultry weather in the past has been swept away, making it look particularly cool.

Yu Dongqing was in a good mood. Seeing that there was nothing wrong at work, he sat at the computer and opened the fruit software. He was going to write songs and arrange music.

Promotional song for "The Wandering Earth".

As Ouyang Feifei said in KTV some time ago, the story told in "The Wandering Earth" is actually about human beings' attachment to their hometown.

Yu Dongqing opened the composition software Notation and started to get busy.

It's an old song.

The melody is simple but very nice. Yu Dongqing has already imprinted it in his mind, so composing the music didn't take much effort at all.

While typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse, Yu Dongqing was humming softly.

"Uncle Yu, what are you doing?" It was a girl's voice.

Without looking back, Yu Dongqing knew Shangguan Feifei.

Since the crew entered post-production, Shangguan Feifei's responsibility has been to coordinate and communicate with the special effects company and the film and television production, so she often travels back and forth between the two places.

"Write songs and make movie promotion songs." Yu Dongqing said without looking back.

"let me see."

Shangguan Feifei suddenly became interested, stood behind Yu Dongqing, looked at the line after line of music and began to hum softly.

Don't ask me where I'm from

My hometown is far away

why wandering

Wandering far away

For the birds flying in the sky

For the gentle stream in the mountains

For the broad grassland

Wandering far away
