The next day, Li Changle called Li Xuexin early in the morning and told him that he had already decided on the preliminary melody and ideas, but needed some help at the moment.
"Just ask for anything, I'll do whatever I can to help you!"
Li Xuexin said generously that he was the one who decided on the plan for the promotional song, and the publicity was a requirement from above, so he could go through many green channels at the official level.
"Look, Uncle Li, I'd like to find some professional Cantonese opera performers. I'll incorporate Cantonese opera parts into the song and combine it with the pop song I wrote, so we can sing about the poem of lovesickness. What do you think?"
“Great!”
When Li Xuexin heard this idea, he slapped his thigh. Why had he never thought of this before? Pop songs + Cantonese opera, what a great idea! Li Xuexin agreed immediately and asked his people to find the top Cantonese opera performers in Guangzhou and arrange the recording of this Cantonese opera right away.
After informing Li Changle that the Cantonese opera performers would be in place within a week, Li Changle sighed, "It's easier to get things done when you have connections in the court."
If it were him, he would probably have a hard time getting in touch with the top Cantonese opera performers in Guangzhou. The problem of Cantonese opera has been solved, and the only problem left is the singers.
Huh? If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to see Wang Siyi again soon? This thought suddenly popped up in Li Changle's mind. What was outrageous was that she was so happy inside.
However, this matter should be left to Li Xuexin. Theoretically speaking, as long as he provides the lyrics and music for the promotional song, he will have nothing to do with it.
In the afternoon, Li Xuexin lived up to everyone's expectations and told Li Changle that the singers and Cantonese opera performers would be arranged next Monday, and then the recording of the promotional song would begin. At that time, as the lyricist and composer, he could provide on-site guidance.
Wang Siyi was ecstatic when she learned that she would go to Guangzhou to record songs next Monday. This time she could go to see Li Changle with a legitimate reason, without having to sneak away or abandon her work.
However, her schedule is quite tight. Huang Wenchuan's movie is about to be released, and previews are about to start one after another in major cities. She will mostly attend the previews, and then go on stage to sing after the filming is completed.
Chen Baozhu was obviously a little confused about the itinerary arrangement, but it was unreasonable. Official matters were more important. When she tried to communicate with Huang Wenchuan, she obviously got the other party's understanding, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you written the song?"
This is Wang Siyi's last day of rest. She will be busy everywhere starting tomorrow. Taking advantage of this rare break, she plans to chat with Li Changle on WeChat all day.
"Yes, it's out. We'll do a preliminary recording of this song next Monday. I wonder if Uncle Li told you guys."
When Li Changle saw Wang Siyi's message, he replied immediately. After the stone in his heart fell to the ground, he lay down again. He was very idle now. He had a lot of manuscripts for The Legend of the Condor Heroes saved, so he had no intention of writing, playing games, or practicing guitar.
Li Changle was troubled by the constant presence of Wang Siyi in his mind. However, after Wang Siyi took the initiative to talk to him, these symptoms disappeared. Li Changle even suspected that he had been poisoned by Wang Siyi.
"All you had left was the melody of the song you sent me last night. I haven't even seen the lyrics yet. Can you sing it for me once?"
Wang Siyi thought about it and realized that she hadn't heard Li Changle sing for a long time, so she made this request.
Li Changle didn't reply to Wang Siyi. Instead, he stood up, found his guitar, tested the pitch, and began to sing:
Red beans grow in the south
It's a very distant thing
What is lovesickness?
No one cares anymore
Drunk in the City That Never Sleeps
Neon lights everywhere
.............
The song sung by Li Changle is also called Lovesickness, the same name as the song he copied from Wang Wei before. This song was sung by Mao Amin on Earth. In terms of melody alone, this song is very nice.
In fact, the most profound impression Li Changle had of this song was that it was the ending theme song for the TV series Journey to the West Sequel. At that time, this ghost-animal drama was extremely popular. Although it was a ghost-animal style, Li Changle still enjoyed watching it with great relish.
Li Changle would watch the sequel to Journey to the West every night after school, and she would not miss the ending song, so she was quite impressed. Aunt Mao Amin also sang it so beautifully that it was hard for people not to remember this song.
The version sung by Li Changle was not the original version, but the version covered by Zhou Shen, which included the folk tune Qin Huai Jing.
Inspired by this, Li Changle chose to find a Cantonese opera master to sing a passage of lovesickness, which should be combined with the whole song to achieve a good artistic conception. However, it still has to wait until the finished product is out before it can be confirmed.
After listening to Li Changle sing the entire song, Wang Siyi immediately felt that the lyrics of his song were almost taken from the poem he wrote about lovesickness. However, this song more reflected a sense of sadness.
"This song sounds rather sad. But it's very nice. I like it very much."
Wang Siyi said something to Li Changle and gave her own evaluation of the song.
"This is just a preliminary version. We will have to wait until Cantonese opera is added to the song before we can know what the final song will look like. Whether it is suitable or not will also be known at that time."
Although Li Changle was quite confident about the song "Lovesickness", she was not sure whether Li Xuexin would accept this style of song for the time being, so she planned to give Wang Siyi a heads-up in advance.
"No matter what, I like this song. Even if it can't be used as the promotional song for the Poetry Competition later, I will still sing it!"
Wang Siyi refused to do anything when she heard what Li Changle said. She really liked this song and she had to sing it no matter what. In fact, she liked any song written by Li Changle, no matter whether it was good or bad.
"Then you will come to Yangcheng next week, right?"
Although she knew Wang Siyi would definitely come back, Li Changle still asked with a sense of anticipation, as if she was just talking nonsense. She just wanted a positive answer.
"Yes, next week, but it will be very busy starting tomorrow, so the schedule might be a bit tight."
Speaking of this, Wang Siyi was obviously a little distressed. She had finally made the trip to Guangzhou to see Li Changle, but it felt like she wouldn't have much time to spend with him.
At least until the movie is released, it will be difficult for him to find time to meet Li Changle. Most importantly, the distance between Guangzhou and Shanghai is more than 1,500 kilometers, which is really too far.
