Yu Nian is not one to procrastinate. Taking advantage of the fact that the album production has come to an end and the promotional period has not yet come, he has a relaxed schedule and time, so he starts to concentrate on preparing for the private museum. Xie You also specially dispatched a team to assist him, to advise him and deal with related matters.
Xie You gave Yu Nian more than a dozen types of architectural design drawings of the museum. The two discussed and selected, and finally left two design alternatives. They were going to make specific revisions after the site selection was confirmed.
And when Yu Nian led his team to run around Ningcheng, surveying the location, he was photographed several times by passers-by and fans. After the news leaked out, #余年购地# was also trending for a day. Meng Yuan was so happy that he called on purpose, saying that Yu Nian could be on the trending searches by himself during the blank period of publicity, which saved a lot of publicity costs.
As expected, the relevant departments of the private museum's application process approved it very quickly. The location of the museum was finally decided on Qingchi Road, and Yu Nian went to take pictures of that land in person.
Around the Lantern Festival, Ningcheng had been raining for several days and finally saw sunshine. The black Maybach ran over shallow puddles and wet fallen leaves, and slowly stopped in front of an open space.
Both of them didn't get out of the car, Yu Nian looked at the open space full of weeds through the car window, turned his head and said to Xie You with a smile, "This place is about 10,000 square meters, and it is the former site of a small private garden. Grandpa said he When I was young, the garden was still there, with rockery corridors and lotus ponds inside the walls, but it was abandoned later, and gradually became the current withered appearance.
It's very close to my old house, just two streets away. It is also close to private restaurants. Uncle Shen said that if the museum is built, it might be able to drive business there! "
Infected by the brilliance in Yu Nian's eyes, Xie You stretched out his hand and gently pinched the back of his delicate neck, with a deep and gentle voice, "Have you selected the architectural design?"
"I have chosen. The designer and I agree with each other. We both want to follow the elegant style of Jiangnan gardens. We are going to clean up the pool full of mud, and then build the main building near the water bank. The south side of the pond will be built. The wall is used as a view of 'distant mountains and mountains', and the view reflected on the water will definitely look good."
When it comes to the design of the museum, Yu Nian talks too much. He gestures and draws, "There are too many collections at home, and I haven't sorted them out yet. The arrangement of the exhibition halls can be considered slowly. In this regard, the Ganzhou Pavilion of the Ningcheng Museum Chang said that he would send two consultants to help me, so don't worry."
After speaking, he stopped talking, turned his head to look at the museum site which was still a wasteland, and said solemnly after two breaths, "The name of the museum, I think it will be called 'Green Mountain'. I also want to stand at the entrance On a piece of rock, write the words 'I will never return for a thousand years, only Yu Qingshan'. Once a thousand years pass, it will not return, but the Qingshan is like the stars, the sun and the moon, and it will last forever."
Unconsciously tickling Xie You's fingers, Yu Nian said embarrassedly, "I also have selfish intentions in this sentence, and I want to embed 'Qingshan Yushi' in it. The collections of several generations of the family will be stored here, and I don't want them to be forgotten."
"The name and the sentence are very good. Year after year, I will support you if you do what you want." Xie You kissed the corner of Yu Nian's lips and remembered, "You said two days ago that the exhibition hall of ancient books and rare books is going to be named—"
"Yunyan Pavilion! There are so many ancient and rare books at home, I guess we need to divide the exhibition halls carefully according to the dynasty. I want to name one of the exhibition halls 'Yunyan Pavilion', which means that brushstrokes form clouds and smoke." Yu Nian said slyly, "But this name, It’s the name of the study of Yu Yaozuo, a scholar of Hongtu Pavilion, the ancestor, so it should be nothing to borrow it.”
On the way back, Yu Nian was talking about his ideas and assumptions. Xie You listened patiently, asking for comments from time to time. When he arrived at the office, Xie You's cell phone rang, and he picked it up, "Xiaoran?"
Then Yu Nian saw that Xie You pressed the speakerphone, and then, Qu Xiaoran's excited voice came from the microphone, "Xie Xiaoyou, please tell your family Nian Yuyu soon, the album will be released on February 21st !"
Yu Nian answered with a smile, "Well, I'm listening too."
Hearing Yu Nian's voice, Qu Xiaoran was not surprised. He said triumphantly, "I must be the first to tell you this news. It's not in vain that I rushed ahead of Meng Yuan! Next time when you are free, I will make an appointment with you." Let's play!"
Yu Nian responded in a good mood, "Okay, my museum's preparations are almost done, and the team will help with other things. Xie You can come out and play together if he's not busy."
"Well, well, life is so beautiful!" Qu Xiaoran lowered his voice again, "Yu Nian Yu Nian, turn off the hands-free!"
Turning off the hands-free according to the words, Yu Nian picked up the phone, "Well, Xie You walked over to turn on the computer, what's wrong with you, it's mysterious."
Qu Xiaoran laughed twice, and said briskly, "I don't want Xie Xiaoyou to hear me praise him!" He said again, "I got the album first, what the hell, I heard Xie Xiaoyou playing it in "Serenade" The sound of the piano, I almost cried!"
Yu Nian stood against the wall, looked at Xie You who was wearing a bluetooth headset and having a short video conference from a distance, and said with a smile, "You must have almost cried."
"You, how do you know?" Qu Xiaoran stammered and told the truth, "Okay, I did shed tears, but only two drops!"
It took him a long time to lower his voice, slow down his speaking speed, and say the second half of the sentence, "Really, Yu Nian, counting on your fingers, I haven't heard Xie Xiaoyou play the piano in a few years? I—I'm just very happy."
Pretending not to hear the choking in Qu Xiaoran's voice, Yu Nian said gently, "Well, it will be better in the future."
"Yes, you are right!" Qu Xiaoran's voice returned to normal, "Although it seems inappropriate to say that, but really, as his brother, Yu Nian, thank you."
Understanding what Qu Xiaoran wanted to express, Yu Nian replied, "You shouldn't thank me, but Xie You himself."
Seeing Yu Nian hang up the phone and walk over, Xie You asked, "What were you talking about?"
Yu Nian sold Qu Xiaoran without hesitation, "Xiaoran said you played the piano well, and almost cried while talking."
Xie You was surprised for two seconds, and his eyes were filled with a smile, "He has very low tears. When he was a child, he watched cartoons, and when the supporting role died, he would cry on me, and I was covered in tears and snot."
In the office, Qu Xiaoran put down the game console in his hand, wrinkled his nose, "Who is talking about me, your nose is so itchy, ah-"
At 9 am on February 21st, Yu Nian's new album "Floating Light" was released across the board.
The publicity is not widespread, but it can't stand the fact that there are many fans and tap water. For more than a year, he has also brought a hot search physique. After his life experience was exposed, he once again donated 16 national treasures. Just let the album break the major records in the pre-sale stage before the official release.
When the digital album and the physical album were simultaneously released, within an hour, the sales of the digital album on the three major music platforms exceeded one million, and the physical album "Floating Light" was airborne First. The media even directly played the title of "sales miracle".
In Xingyao Building, Meng Yuan was wearing a coat, staring at the real-time sales records on both physical and digital sides, frowning tightly. Shi Rou was also nervous, with a dry throat, "Brother Meng, physical sales are increasing very fast, and it is estimated that he will soon break his physical album sales record every year!"
Meng Yuan was absent-minded, "Well, in the expected situation, it would be strange not to break the record."
Meng Yuan didn't say this nonsense. Compared with the state when "Qi Li" was released, Yu Nian's popularity has risen to a higher level now, and his talent has also been widely recognized. Based on the data of the previous new single, the official album Sales can't be bad.
The release of the album "Floating Light" was much delayed than expected. It has been almost a year since the last small album "Qili". The data began to skyrocket in a blowout style.
Looking at Meng Yuan's expression, Shi Rou cautiously said, "Then Brother Meng, what are you worried about?"
"I didn't sleep all night last night!" Meng Yuan's eyes were clearly blue, because of lack of sleep, his temper was more irritable than usual, and he uttered foul language. He exhaled and calmed himself down, "The song "Serenade" is a bomb, why didn't it blow up? I'll be relieved when it blows up!"
Realizing what Meng Yuan was worried about, Shi Rou quickly shut up, quietly waiting for the data feedback, not daring to talk to Meng Yuan anymore, for fear of being hurt by the other party's unstable emotions.
But Shi Rou shut up, and after a while, Meng Yuan started talking on his own, "No, no, let's have a chat, it's too torture to wait like this."
Shi Rou thought about a topic, "Didn't sister Yu Qing post a blog yesterday, to fans of the album Niannian. She also said that her name came from 'An Zhi Ting Lan, Yu Yu Qing Qing', and 'Floating Light' This word is also contained in the following sentence "and the smoke is gone, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the light is leaping into gold, and the still shadow is like a wall". The comments all say that sister Yu Qing is using her own name to do Amway... Haha," dryly After finishing speaking, Shi Rou made a bitter face, "Brother Meng, what do you want to talk about?"
But soon Shi Rou was relieved, the data came out, and the staring staff said, "The forum Weibo exploded together, #余年新甲# this tag is the second most searched, #余年谢游# is the first! The homepage of a large forum has been swiped with the same topic!"
At this time, the degree of discussion on the Internet is still rising.
"—#余年谢游# The physical album has been ordered and hasn’t shipped yet, so I bought the digital album to listen to it first! I have to praise each year. I’ve been looking forward to it for almost a year. Every song is so good! Especially "Floating Light" and "Serenade"! The voice of "Floating Light" is so lazy and Su, her ears are pregnant! The voice of "Serenade" is super gentle and lingering! However, every song in the whole album is written, composed and arranged every year. The sound, except for the serenade! The serenade is written by Yu Nian, but the composition is by Yu Nian and Xie You, the arrangement is also by Yu Nian and Xie You, and the piano accompaniment is by Xie You! I am going crazy!"
"—#余年谢游#Ah, what a fairy love story! You sing and I accompany you! Write and arrange music together, in my album, in my songs, there is only you besides me! Only you and me! You Yu The girl admires and is sour!"
"—#余年谢游# A wave of popular science!! Serenade, a genre of music, is a song used to express affection to a loved one. Initially, serenade was a song sung by young men at night to their lover’s window, to confide Love is beautiful and lingering! (Information comes from Wikipedia)”
"—#余年谢游# Don’t talk about other things, the cooperation between Yu Nian and Xie You is really a perfect match! Nearly perfect arrangement and lyrics, Yu Nian’s clear and gentle voice, Xie You’s top piano level, it’s so impressive Excited! It is right not to add other musical instruments, the fit between these two people does not allow any form of intervention!"
When the topic broke out, Meng Yuan was relieved. His heartstrings relaxed, and he slumped down on the chair, "I can finally sleep well tonight!" He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, Meng Yuan felt bitter and bitter, "According to the style of doing things that are always safe and sound, away from the public." It’s not far away. Bringing the rhythm to attract public opinion, this will exhaust Father Meng to death!”
Shi Rou hurriedly said, "Those who are capable work harder, those who are capable work harder, Brother Meng, hold on!"
"Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on." Meng Yuan raised his finger, "Just looking at this topic, Rourou, how about the comments on the new album on the Internet?"
As soon as Meng Yuan asked about this, Shi Rou's eyes lit up, "Very good!" Feeling that it wasn't accurate enough, she added two more words, "Very special!"
Meng Yuan laughed after hearing that, "Tsk, a standard illiterate compliment?"
Shi Rou stared, "That's what it is! Those music critics, except for the ones that are deliberately unconventional and eye-catching, almost all gave good reviews! The famous music critic named Zhao Keyuan also said, "
She quickly dug out the screenshots from the photo album and read, "The reason why "Floating Light" is so pleasant to listen to is not only the excellent composition, but also the articulation of the lyrics. Because of the limitation of the four tones of Mandarin, the rhythm of many lyrics is different from it. The corresponding melodies are mutually exclusive. That's why it appears that when the lyrics are sung, there will be ambiguity, or when you listen to it, you don't know what you are singing. This problem is very common.
But in Yu Nian's song, the key words and melody are completely integrated, and it sounds and sings almost perfectly and naturally. It can also be seen that Yu Nian's dual attainments in words and melody, even if he has not reached the pinnacle, is not far from the top. "
After reading, Shi Rou couldn't help but feel proud, "Niannian is really amazing!"
"Indeed, this music critic from the Academy has always had a vicious tongue, and it's rare to praise people like this." As soon as he relaxed, Meng Yuan began to doze off. , Wake me up if you have something to do. In two days, I will go to the "Echo Machine" singing scene every year, and I will blow it up again. I will catch up on sleep first... "
On the 25th, the nanny's car parked downstairs of the "Echo Machine" studio.
Letting himself ignore Xie You's aura as much as possible, Meng Yuan sat upright and straight in his seat, "That... this program is a very old live broadcast program in China, once a week—"
Yu Nian said with a smile, "Brother Meng, I have already sung twice in "Echo Machine"."
"The audience is wide, the ratings are very high, and the popularity is high," Meng Yuan cleared his throat, "Don't interrupt me, I just want to emphasize that this is a live broadcast, live broadcast, understand? Live broadcasts cannot be edited in post! So, you and Mr. Xie... restrain yourself!"
After understanding what Meng Yuan meant, Yu Nian's smile deepened, "Brother Meng, don't worry, he won't kiss and hug on stage."
Hearing these two words, Meng Yuan had already completed the picture in half a second. He patted his forehead and took another deep breath, "Okay, okay, stop emphasizing it, the more I listen to it, the more scared I become! !"
At this time, there was a light knocking sound on the glass window, and several people turned their heads, and what they saw was Qu Xiaoran's bright smiling face.
After getting into the car, Qu Xiaoran opened his mouth and said, "I brought a huge support card! It will definitely kill all the fans in the audience!" He singled out Meng Yuan and asked, "Manager Meng, are you nervous? How do you feel? Has the Shuijun marketing account spent all the money in place?"
Meng Yuan looked hopeless, "Mr. Qu, are you still Xingyao's boss?"
Qu Xiaoran patted his thigh and laughed out loud, and when he finished laughing, he said proudly, "Today, I am a boy named Youyu!"
Meng Yuan was not polite, and muttered, "It's a miracle that Xingyao Entertainment didn't go bankrupt..."
Qu Xiaoran was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "How dare you say this in front of my brother?" He made a "swish" gesture, "My brother will cut you!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Xie You again, "Auntie will come too, and I made a support card for her, but Auntie doesn't have the nerve to bring it!"
Xie You nodded, "Well, she told me that she would come over when she was busy."
Qu Xiaoran stretched out his hand and patted Xie You's shoulder. Countless words and feelings went round and round in his heart, and finally he only said, "Xie Xiaoyou, I've been waiting for the day to hear you play the piano again. I've been waiting for several years. .”
"Echo Machine" airs on Saturday at 5 p.m. After the opening scene, the MV of "Floating Light" appeared, and the narrator introduced, "This song is from the latest album of the same name by the famous musician Yu Nian. When it was released, it caused a sensation..."
After the introduction, the screen cut back to the studio, where Yu Nian was sitting on the sofa, listening carefully to the host's questions.
"May I ask why the title of the song is called Fuguang? Does it have any special meaning?"
Yu Nian was dressed in white, with a white silk shirt inside, a very short jacket, imitating the retro court style, with a badge on the chest, and irregular tassels on the shoulders. The trousers outline the tight waistline and the slender and straight legs, and the short boots cover the ankles, just sitting, revealing a sense of luxury.
After thinking about it, Yu Nian replied, "The word 'floating light' comes from the lyrics of the song 'a piece of paper floating light', which probably means that on a piece of shredded paper, because the handwriting of the person you like is left, in the dark of despair Among them, this piece of paper is also glowing with a light white halo, which gives people strength and persistence."
"It turned out to be like this, it's really beautiful!" After the host asked a few more questions about the album, he turned to the camera, "Now, please ask Yu Nian to bring us the songs "Floating Light" and "Serenade"."
The screen switched to the stage, the lights were all dimmed, and as the first music sounded, the stage lights were lit up, and Yu Nian, who was wearing a pure white costume, stood under the light beam, his skin was like white porcelain, and even every hair The strands of hair seem to be shining, extremely dazzling, and powerfully grabbing people's attention.
The barrage of live broadcasts also increased instantly, and countless "ahhh" quickly dominated the screen.
The entire song of "Floating Light" lasted nearly five minutes. After the end of the accompaniment disappeared, the name and information of "Serenade" appeared on the screen.
"—Piano accompaniment! Xie You! What the hell did I see! Is it what I think? Is it?"
"—Youyu girl's heart stopped beating!"
On the stage without light, it was extremely quiet, and what broke the silence was the crisp sound of the piano that sounded first.
A key is struck, and a lamp on the stage is lit. When the first melody was played lightly, all the stage lights were turned on.
As the lifting platform slowly rises, a gorgeous black Steinway grand piano gradually appears on the stage. Sitting in front of the piano, Xie You was wearing a hand-cut black tuxedo, shiny leather shoes, and a straight back.
Because he was facing the keys, the camera could only capture his side face. But with just one glance, one will be amazed at the finely crafted lines of his facial features, as well as the introverted and cold temperament.
When he and Yu Nian appeared on the same stage, the scene was completely silent, and the barrage on the live broadcast platform seemed to freeze.
It wasn't until Yu Nian held the microphone in his hand and sang the first line of lyrics with the piano accompaniment that everyone's sanity was awakened.
"—I want a screenshot! What a fairy scene! Niannian and Mr. Xie! Why wasn't I there! I was crying so loudly!"
"Mr. Xie's face value is too heaven-defying! Wearing a tuxedo looks so good! What kind of masterpiece is the finger playing the piano? The two of them together, I am crazy!"
"—I, Mr. Xie, played the piano! Mr. Xie was also Leto's gifted student back then, tears in my eyes!"
From the serenade to the interlude, the piano sounds softly, like the fragrance of roses, floating under the terrace accompanied by the night wind and bright moon.
Yu Nian put down the microphone, turned around, stepped on the stage step by step, with a smile on his lips, walked to the grand piano and stood still. The tassels on the epaulettes swayed slightly, shimmering away.
At the same time, Xie You kept playing, but quietly raised his eyes and looked at Yu Nian.
The eyes of the two met, and Yu Nian's eyes seemed to be filled with radiant stars, and he smiled at Xie You. Xie You's eyes were like ripples, but he only stared at Yu Nian for three seconds before lowering his eyelashes again.
"—I'm dead!!! Ascension!!!"
"—What does it mean to like someone? When I look at him, my eyes seem to be full of stars! Wooooooah!"
"—I, I, I, I don't know what to say! Please get married in situ!"
"—I'm so afraid and I don't want to say that if I fall in love every year? But this picture! Ah, please be together! I beg you!!"
