“How about this, I will prepare a song for you within three days and send it over. Then I’ll see if Xie Jie can perform it. I’m currently filming and really can’t spare the time to attend rehearsals.”
When Su Yu heard it was for the Youth Day, two songs immediately came to his mind.
One song was “ode to young china,” and the other was “Misplaced Time and Space” (May Fourth Youth Edition).
He didn’t have either of these two songs in his possession, but he could customize and buy them with chinese yuan!
His previous songs, “just the way you are” and “the most dazzling ethnic trend,” were both customized by Su Yu using chinese yuan.
Although his points could be redeemed, he felt it was more cost-effective to save them for master-level skills.
Moreover, buying songs with chinese yuan could also be donated, couldn’t it?
After the points redemption function became available, Su Yu felt that his donation amount had decreased in recent months, which was unacceptable.
The two songs Su Yu thought of, he could actually sing them himself.
But just as he said, he still had to film and prepare for the third season of the Four Nations Concert, so he really didn't have the energy to attend the Youth Day gala.
Although Xie Jie was at home with his wife, he could surely squeeze out time to attend a gala, right? After all, she wasn't due to give birth immediately, was she?
“Alright, alright! What reason do we have not to trust Teacher Su Yu’s songs and arrangements! Just send me the song directly when it’s ready.”
Gao Feng smiled even more brightly. He knew that as long as he personally came to visit, Su Yu wouldn't refuse him.
Of course, using such a strategy too often might become ineffective, but he didn't plan to use it frequently, did he?
Moreover, if Su Yu or Tianxing Entertainment needed his help with something, he would do his best!
He hoped such cooperation could be maintained indefinitely.
Gao Feng left with Su Yu's autographed photo and a group photo with Su Yu, smiling cheerfully.
He had successfully completed his mission this time.
Only three days, he could wait.
Youth Day was not a large-scale gala like the Spring Festival Gala, and having a song from Su Yu as a baseline was, in his opinion, completely sufficient.
“Brother Jie, are you really not planning to go out and work during this time? Teacher Su Yu is working on the Four Nations Concert. If you go, you should be able to get a spot, right?”
In the evening, Zhang Na, who was six months pregnant, looked at Xie Jie and asked with a hint of helplessness.
She actually didn't want Xie Jie to be like this. After all, Xie Jie's career was currently in its best development period. What was the deal with him always staying at home?
And did she need Xie Jie to take care of her? Both sets of parents were here, and Xie Jie couldn't help with anything at home.
Xie Jie actually felt a bit regretful, because these two months were completely different from what he had imagined!
He originally thought he was very important, but that was just his own idea!
But the flag had already been set, what else could he do?
Just as he was about to call Su Yu to ask if he needed help, Su Yu called him first!
“Little brother! Do you need me to fight? Who are we fighting?” Xie Jie answered the phone and eagerly asked.
Fighting whom? Su Yu had a headache when he heard this.
Why are you so warlike? There's no one to fight recently!
And weren't you going to stay home with your wife? Or not come out at all this year.
At that time, they were all so moved, but what's wrong, you can't stand it after only two months?
“Director Gao from CCTV is preparing for the May Fourth Youth Day gala. I have a song that’s quite suitable for you. Do you want to participate?”
Su Yu felt this was perfect, and he didn't need to “persuade” Xie Jie, so he got straight to the point.
“I'll go! I must go! Little brother, you don't know, everyone at home is complaining about me now, they all want me to go out and work! Don't be an eyesore at home! I don't know what to say!”
Listening to Xie Jie’s complaining voice, Su Yu almost laughed impolitely.
But this was good. The Youth Day matter was resolved.
“I’ve sent you the song. Record it within two days and send it to me. Then I’ll send it to Director Gao and see what he thinks.”
Su Yu sent “ode to young china” to Xie Jie.
This time, Su Yu didn't change the song title; he used the original name.
“Alright! I have a recording studio at home, so I’ll just record it here!” Xie Jie readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Na looked at Xie Jie with curiosity, waiting for him to explain what had happened.
“Little brother Su Yu wrote a song for me and wants me to participate in the Youth Day gala! I need to practice the song; I have to master it within two days!”
As Xie Jie spoke, he had already clicked on the song information Su Yu sent.
However, when he and Zhang Na finished reading the song title and lyrics, they were both stunned.
“Brother Jie! You chose the right person! This song is amazing. How highly does Teacher Su Yu regard you to let you sing this song?!”
Zhang Na was so perceptive; after seeing the lyrics, she instantly thought deeply about it.
“Of course, I was among the first to ask him to buy songs before he became famous!”
Xie Jie said proudly.
Then he printed out the lyrics and sheet music and walked into the recording studio alone.
He was getting bored to death, and now that he had work, he naturally wanted to work through the night, didn't he?
These past two months, Su Yu hadn't arranged any album releases for Tianxing Entertainment's songs. The April new song chart was topped by his own pure music, “a step away.”
And for May, Su Yu felt that Xie Jie’s “ode to young china” was completely sufficient.
As soon as this song came out, it would be impossible for the officials not to promote it vigorously!
Therefore, Su Yu didn't need to worry about the champion song for May at all.
One day later, Su Yu received the audio file sent by Xie Jie.
After listening to it once, Su Yu was satisfied and sent it to Gao Feng.
Gao Feng hadn't expected Su Yu's efficiency to be so high. He said within three days, but it had only been two days?
However, he didn't say much. Instead, he gathered all the directors, and they all listened to this song, which he considered to have a grand title.
The result was that everyone was stunned after listening!
This song was too perfect for their Youth Day stage, wasn't it? Su Yu truly was a divine lyricist and composer!
So, without any hesitation, the song passed the review with unanimous approval and was directly added to the Youth Day gala.
Just as Su Yu had thought, Gao Feng directly took this song to the higher-ups, naturally aiming for strong promotion after the song was performed.
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 26th.
On this day, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue once again left the film crew and headed to Jinling.
After two weeks of high-intensity filming, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue's scenes were already halfway done.
In Liu Xialai's opinion, with another half-month of filming, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue could directly wrap up their parts!
The efficiency of this filming was truly too fast!
