Chapter 259 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 26
Before the two had even finished chatting, Zhou Meier and Wang Ruonan were ready. After listening to their individual performances, Liu Yuxi had only one thought: it would be great if the two could combine their voices.
They each have their shortcomings, but if there aren't any suitable ones among tomorrow's group, these two can be trained. I wrote down their performance in my notebook and told them to go back and wait for news.
"Let the singers auditioning for 'Tick Tock' come in!" Liu Yuxi said. Li Renze took Zhou Meier and Wang Ruonan out and brought three more girls back.
“Teacher Fusheng, this is Ye Xian, a second-tier artist, and these two are third-tier artists, Dou Dou and Ya Xin,” Li Renzhe introduced.
"Hello, Teacher Fusheng!" the three quickly greeted.
"Hello! This is a song. Familiarize yourselves with it, and each of you will sing a verse in ten minutes!" After sending the song to the three people, Liu Yuxi began another round of selection.
For two whole days, five of them found suitable singers: Han Han, a third-tier singer, for "Go to Dali"; Ye Xian, a second-tier singer, for "Tick Tock"; Wang Ruonan, a fourth-tier artist, for "By the Butterfly Spring"; and Li Jian, a third-tier singer, for "Lijiang".
Because the company didn't have a male singer who could sing Peking Opera, "One Night in Beijing" was chosen as a duet, sung by Liu Hanyu and Liu Qingqing, a third-tier singer.
However, we couldn't find a suitable singer for "Tears Falling into a Wine Glass," a song full of Shaanxi characteristics. Oh well, I'll sing it myself. Well, thanks to having traveled through so many lifetimes, Liu Yuxi can speak most of the local dialects in China!
Well, this is just her own little quirk. Anyway, this song doesn't fit into the mainstream of pop music. It's not even niche. It's only slightly better than a local folk song. She should just sing it herself. She shouldn't drag others down with her personal hobbies.
She sent the selected people back to familiarize themselves with the songs, and then she began recording her own two songs.
Busy with work, Liu Yuxi paid no attention to anything else. Even when the National Day holiday arrived, she only realized it was October when she heard the song "Today is Your Birthday" on the street on her way home.
Upon arriving home, Liu Yuxi took out a meal from her online storage and started browsing Weibo while eating! Those four songs were not only confirmed for the National Day Gala that evening.
Instead, starting in the morning, CCTV used music from all the programs broadcast on its various channels, as long as it was suitable for background music. This resulted in many people hearing these songs.
Although the data wasn't as good as Cai Tianhou and Jiang Nan's two songs, "Me and My Motherland," "Today is Your Birthday," and "Singing for the Motherland" still firmly entered the top ten of the monthly chart. "Ode to Yan'an" had a smaller audience and only ranked in the top fifty of the monthly chart, making it the worst-performing song Liu Yuxi has released so far.
However, the download numbers for several songs are still increasing slowly and steadily, and the final results are still unknown.
After scanning the monthly rankings, Liu Yuxi started browsing the comments from netizens:
"You know what? It's a holiday today, and I partied until 4 AM last night before going home to sleep. Then, at 8 AM this morning, the owner of the tobacco and liquor store downstairs started playing 'Today is Your Birthday' on repeat! What a mess! I'm lying in bed now, feeling utterly hopeless, with 'We wish you a happy birthday, my China! May you always be free from worries, and forever peaceful!'"
"Just like the person upstairs, I feel utterly hopeless. As beasts of burden, all we look forward to all year is the National Day holiday and our annual leave. But on the first day of the National Day holiday, I woke up earlier than when I was supposed to go to work! The only difference is that the butcher shop downstairs was playing 'Ode to the Motherland'."
"I'm curious, most businesses wouldn't play songs like this on repeat in their stores, right? What kind of weirdos are these two owners?"
"He's not weird. The owner of the tobacco and liquor store downstairs is my grandpa. My grandpa is a retired soldier, sob sob..."
"Upstairs, could my uncle who runs a pork shop have come from the same military unit as your grandfather?"
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter from the two people upstairs, but to be honest, I think these songs are alright. I think they might be selected as supplementary teaching materials for music majors!"
"Your feeling upstairs is quite right, our professor said it's about the same!"
Which school is upstairs from?
Beijing Conservatory of Music!
"Oh hoo!"
Liu Yuxi, who was watching and laughing, quickly finished her meal. She had almost finished recording her two songs. After finishing her work and resting for two days, she would start recording songs for the other people. With plenty of time, she naturally wanted to stagger her work schedule so as not to overwork herself.
After washing up, she curled up on the sofa to watch TV. She rarely watched TV dramas before, partly because the timelines were too long, and if an episode was missing, the rest just didn't feel right, and she was very likely to give up on the show. But since she hadn't finished watching the series, the question would remain unanswered indefinitely.
After doing this a few times, my interest in TV dramas had long since worn off. Later, various video platforms became popular, and I could watch TV dramas all at once, but I still had no interest in watching them.
Now that she has plenty of time, she can watch TV series from beginning to end whenever she wants, so watching TV series has become a good way to pass the time.
After watching two episodes of a TV series, Liu Yuxi went to bed. This was her advice based on experience: going to bed early and waking up early is really good for your health, although she couldn't do it when she was young.
Many people can't sleep until 2 a.m., feeling that their work hours don't belong to them, and only their nighttime hours do, so they stay up all night.
Let's not discuss whether this idea is right or wrong, or whether it's good for your health. Let's just adjust it so that you go to bed early at night and get up at four or five in the morning. Then the time before you go to work in the morning will also belong to you, right?
Unfortunately, many people will say, "If I don't sleep at night, I can go out to eat, watch movies, sing karaoke, or go to bars. But what can I do if I don't sleep in the morning?"
If I were to suggest that you could go for a morning run, meditate, read, or write, would that be asking too much? But as you get older, you should gradually adjust your routine, because good health is the most important thing.
When Liu Yuxi first wanted to record her own songs, she startled the company's recording engineer. After all, she was over 60 years old, and he had never seen her sing when recording songs for other singers.
He thought Teacher Liu was joking with him, until Liu Yuxi started singing and he realized that, well, her voice is good enough for recording, but not for live singing. There are some minor flaws, but that can be fixed with autotune.
She's just doing it for fun, and she doesn't have to go out and perform. She'll just license the song copyright to other people later, and whoever wants to sing it can sing it!
After she finished recording her songs, she started recording songs for other singers. The most difficult song was "One Night in Beijing". Liu Yuxi had to painstakingly copy Liu Qingqing's part line by line. Fortunately, the eight songs were recorded in just over half a month.
