0713: You who shine in the parallel world

The program designs of Fruit Channel are always surprising and innovative. The program they arranged for the re-employed brothers is more like a small musical designed for them than a dry impromptu performance of a song.

There is a plot, a setting, a story, and a background. These seven people are needed to weave the people and events in the play into songs and present them to all the audiences at home and abroad in front of the screen.

The venue for their show was in the Xingcheng "Night Market". As the host, Wang Yuexin invited the brothers to the Xingcheng Night Market for a midnight snack. When ordering, the proprietress handed them a task card written in dialect, requiring them to collect different sounds in the night market and compose them into a song.

This part had been rehearsed several times, so there were no problems during the filming process.

Then the seven people were divided into two groups. Yue Lai and Yue Jiang Zhi went to the late-night snack stall to interview the stall owner, while the Shanghai Hua trio of Chen Hesheng, Su Xing and Wang Zhengliang took the youngest but sweetest Yu Yu to interview the customers sitting at the snack stall.

Of course, it is impossible for the program crew to film their entire two-hour creative process, otherwise it would not be a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala but a behind-the-scenes production record of the song.

They will only shoot a few groups of shots of the brothers conducting separate interviews, allowing the audience to understand the stories of the vendors and customers in the program and their feelings about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then switch to other programs, leaving creative space and time for the seven re-employed people.

After Yu Yu and three other people finished filming the scene of chatting with guests who were spending the Mid-Autumn Festival away from home, the director switched the camera and the program director shouted "CUT". When the four people saw the director team signaling that the filming was temporarily over, they stood up and expressed their gratitude to the extras who were being interviewed.

They walked to a bench nearby and found a place to sit down. Not far away, the remaining three people also came over.

The seven people sat together, sharing their thoughts and inspirations, leaving the venue empty for the program crew to change the scenery.

Chen Xinsheng and Lu Hu sat opposite each other, each holding a guitar. Lu Hu looked at Chen Xinsheng fiddling with the strings in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. His smile was full of his usual innocence and simplicity, even a little silly.

"I don't know why, but when I look at the looks on our faces, I can't help but smile." Lu Hu said, his eyes sparkling.

Wang Yuexin always understood what his brother Tiger was talking about. He smiled, but there was a hint of emotion in his voice: "Brother Tiger must be thinking of the time when we lived in the Mushroom House."

"Right." Lu Hu nodded and gestured to where he and Chen Qiesheng were. "Brother Sheng, do you remember that night? We were sitting opposite each other like we are now, discussing the song 'You Deserve It' which was not yet completed. At that time, who among us could have imagined that we could participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and improvise songs at the Gala."

Yu Yu looked at him, Lu Hu, as the second one Yu Yu met among the six brothers, and an old friend who fought side by side with him in the same division. He always knew how to say seemingly ordinary but unexpectedly touching words in the most ordinary tone. Perhaps it was because he always treated everyone and everything with the most sincere heart.

"Yes, we sat here. Yuanyuan was on my right, Allen was on my left..." Chen Xisheng replied, "Looking at it now, it's as if the scene from half a year ago is reappearing. We continue to sit together and write songs."

"Brother Sheng, take a closer look. Even our seating order is exactly the same as it was back then." Wang Zhengliang added. If you say he has a good memory, he, like Chen Xisheng, can't remember the lyrics at all. But if you say he has a bad memory, he can always remember everyone's birthday, and some weird little details or anniversaries.

Chen Xuansheng looked around and said, "Oh, right. Next to Allen is your brother Liang, and then there are Yuexin, Yu, Huzi, and Yuanyuan. We were so drunk back then and were still discussing like philosophers what we deserved. Now, maybe we are all living our own lives."

"Oh, the last sentence, write it down," Zhang Yuan exclaimed, thinking that the words were really good and quickly "stole" them, "Su Xing, did you remember it?"

"While you guys were laughing and reminiscing about the past, I was writing the lyrics, okay?" Su Xing looked at the others with pretended disdain, and then he realized something and looked at Zhang Yuan, "No, why are you urging me to memorize the lyrics? These are not your lines, and you were not the one who urged me to do so."

"My words, my words," Chen Xisheng raised his hand to claim them and answered, "I'm worried."

This made Su Xing's original intention of replying, "Can't you trust me in my work?", die in his stomach.

"So what theme should we set now?" Wang Yuexin noticed that several brothers seemed to be about to disappear while chatting, so she quickly drew their attention back, "Brothers, we only have two hours."

Yu Yu didn't feel that time was urgent at all. In fact, two hours was more than enough for him. He was used to producing music at a fast pace, and even when he was inspired and moving quickly, he could write two or three highly completed songs in two hours.

But they were filming a show, and they couldn't laugh and joke like usual. Once the camera was turned on, it would be a live broadcast, so he cooperated and looked at the three people holding musical instruments.

"Brother Liang is already sitting in front of the electronic keyboard, so Brother Liang, can you give us a tune? Or you two with guitars, anyone can start." Yu Yu was as naughty as always. As long as he was not asked to work, he would take advantage of his young age to give orders.

Wang Zhengliang didn't plan to start. He pressed the keys randomly and urged the two guitarists: "Who of you two can play a tune? Or Sheng Ge can start it?"

Chen Tansheng was still thinking and didn't say anything.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and suggested, "The materials we collected, whether from vendors or customers, are full of love and expectation for life, as well as longing for their hometown and family when they are in a foreign land. Our melody can't just be lyrical, nor can it be completely a cheerful minor tune."

"You mean add some rhythmic movement?" Lu Hu played a rhythm casually, "and then add some gentle lyrics?"

He just said this, and before he even started trying, Chen Xisheng played an elegant and gentle guitar piece, which was a smooth transition to the previous piece by Land Rover.

"That's fine." Chen Qisheng nodded with satisfaction, but he suddenly frowned as he played, "Going down here, it doesn't seem to be going smoothly. I need to think about it again."

"You should go this way, right? Not this note, but this one." Wang Zhengliang also felt something was wrong. He thought about it, changed the tune on the piano keys, and gave a solution.

Chen Xinsheng tried it and found that it was indeed much smoother. He hummed along with the guitar again. There were no lyrics, just chanting, but it sounded more touching than any heart-wrenching lyrics.

Wang Yuexin was thinking about his own lyrics while listening. After listening for a while, he thought of something and raised his head and nudged Yu Yu with his elbow: "Aren't you going to insert Feng Yao again? Then you have to get another guitar? Brother Sheng and Brother Hu can't help you play this."

Indeed, "Wind Shaking" was written by Yu Yuxian. It might be a bit unrealistic if Chen Qiansheng or Lu Hu were asked to play the song by looking at his music score.

Yu Yu pondered for a while, and thought of Query, who started out with electronic music. His evil taste came over him again. In order to continue to deliberately reduce the difficulty and give the brothers who had already noticed some more obvious clues, he suddenly grinned and said, "If I add a guitar, it will be three. Too many strings is a bit bloated, and Brother Liang's piano position is also occupied. The rhythm of the drum set is too strong and it is not very suitable for the wind rock music that represents fluidity. In this case..."

"Hello, teacher. May I ask if there is any electronic music player among the music equipment we have prepared?" Yu Yu raised his hand and shouted to the staff member beside him.

During the previous rehearsal, they had mentioned that the program team had prepared sufficient musical instruments and equipment, including all the commonly used instruments. If they needed them during improvisation, they could call them up at any time. However, Yu Yuke was not sure whether they would prepare a DJ machine. After all, in China, this kind of equipment is generally only seen in electronic music festivals or bars, and it seems rarely seen in traditional TV programs.

When the others first heard his analysis, they thought he would play an orchestral instrument. But who would have thought that Yu Yu would suddenly start talking about playing electronic music. They immediately raised their heads and fourteen eyes looked at him in unison. The meaning was self-evident: Is this naughty kid going to cause trouble again?

Huh? Why are there fourteen eyes? Oh, Xiaoliang has two.

"I'm not sure either. Let me ask for you." The staff member hesitated. They did prepare a lot of musical instruments, but no one expected that Yu Yu's choice was so niche. Playing electronic music live, and improvising songs, can he do it?

The brothers had no doubt about Yu Yu's electronic music ability. After all, he had played it with his brothers in the presidential suite on the first night of "Happy Departure". And later, he and Su Xing sang the song "The Betrayer". The technique was so cool that even Teacher Wang Zhengliang would have to admit defeat, in Su Xing's words.

Professor Wang: ? I just dance a little bit, but my music is very serious, haha.

What they were worried about was that the strength of electronic music lies in remixing, and they were currently improvising lyrics and composing music and had nothing to mix with. If Yu Yu wanted to improvise an electronic music piece...

"Can wind bring electricity?" Lu Hu was a little bit unbelievable. Teacher Yu, he hasn't learned this part yet. He hasn't mastered the basic knowledge yet, and you're just adding electricity to it?

"No big problem." Yu Yu raised his hand and made an OK gesture. Feng Yao is actually more suitable for jazz, but as the saying goes, all music is equal in front of God Q and everything can be remixed. Feng Yao with electronic music may be quite difficult for others, but for Yu Yu, isn't it just a matter of sitting up and doing the work?

"Okay, Yu Shao, you want to play tricks again, right?" Su Xing teased.

"Sure, Xiaoyu's strength is beyond words. Do you need us to record something for you this time?" Wang Zhengliang made a fist gesture. The night before in the Seaview Suite was also the first time he recorded a loop for Yu Yu. At that time, he knew that this kid's true strength was unfathomable and there were always surprises.

"Hey, why do you want us to record it? Just record the vendors' shouting."

Wang Yuexin's mind was working quickly. The program crew asked them to collect the vendors' calls and they even went out of their way to learn a few phrases. It would be a waste to use this ready-made loop, which could perfectly hit the point.

After he said this, Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu nodded quickly. They were doing the same task as Wang Yuexin, and they both thought his idea was very good.

Of course Yu Yu had no objection. As for the materials, just record a few more and there would always be a way to make a song. Music comes from life.

The staff member who just went to verify brought good news that they did have a DJ player that could be lent to Yu Yu.

Very good, that’s it. The Q God hidden in Yu Yu’s body is doing his old job again. Back then, there was more than just one Avicii who was the God of Electronic Music.
