Chapter 158 The Moon, Hanging in the Sky

The DJ machines that had been piled up in the warehouse for years and no one cared about them were finally taken out and used, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, almost all the program staff who learned that Yu Yu was going to add electronic music elements to the improvisational rock music were very curious about what style the improvisational song of seven people would eventually be presented in.

It shouldn't become a rural heavy metal style electronic music hit, right? After all, although Yu Yu has not released many songs, his musical taste and composition style are actually quite high-end.

The threshold for getting into electronic music is actually not high. As long as you know how to produce and play DJs, anyone can give it a try. But if you want to make it sound good and not cliché, you need musical talent and a good sense of taste.

If they hadn't only had two hours to work on a song, and the director had repeatedly told them not to disturb them unless it was urgent, the onlookers would have wanted to walk up and eavesdrop on their creative process.

Now, their faint singing voices were completely inconspicuous in the noisy recording scene. The onlookers couldn't hear what song it was at all. Instead, their occasional exclamations and cheers made people excited.

Not to mention the staff who seemed busy but were actually slacking off while secretly watching, even the director of the show was curious about what they had actually written.

That was a brand new song. Before they performed it, the production team didn't know what kind of song it would be. Besides, Yu Yu also added electronic music...

Damn, I still care. That's why the sound of these seven people discussing music is so quiet, but the sound of them laughing, joking, teasing each other, exposing each other's shortcomings and stabbing each other in the face is so loud! It's as loud as the sound of the stage decoration!

After Chen Hesheng, Wang Zhengliang and Lu Hu set the tone, Yu Yu's wind-shaking melody began to emerge in his mind.

There was no computer or tablet, and the mobile phone was in the hands of the staff. He held a pen and paper and kept writing. However, the way he recorded the lyrics and music was still the same as his habit in his previous life, so no one could understand those line-like symbols except himself. Perhaps others thought he was just drawing casually.

His lyrics and music came out very quickly, so fast that when he had almost finished writing a song, others were still discussing it. Yu Yu looked down at the time on his watch. Oh no, he had worked too hard, and only more than half an hour had passed.

Yu Yu cleverly decided to pretend that the work was not finished yet, and while listening to the tunes hummed by others, he helped them record the six people's parts as if completing dictation and organized them into a song.

Then, when Lu Hu suggested that they sort it out together, Yu Yu immediately divided the draft paper in his hand into six pieces:

"Everyone, take a look. One for each of you. I just listened to your discussion and combined our parts together. Because I wrote the tune based on the parts you hummed, many of the tunes will have my own fine-tuning, so it should be different from your final version. Let's go through it first and see how to adjust it together."

The brothers looked at the handwritten music scores that Yu Yu placed in their arms in bewilderment. They were just humming the tunes casually while thinking about writing songs, but he was able to accurately capture and extract them and compile them into a score. Is their youngest brother cheating or is his printer a spirit?

"Yu Shao, I knew you were fast, but I didn't expect you to be this fast." Su Xing looked at the song that had been copied six times in his hand and couldn't help but make a joke in amazement, "Now there's even a score, do we still have time to check for duplicates?"

Although this sentence was said in a joking tone, what he said was very right. Yu Yu even prepared the music score for them, which greatly saved their discussion time. They could also use the extra time to check for plagiarism.

Sometimes the melody that a musician improvises in his mind may not come from his own inspiration, but from a melody he has heard before, so the first thing every original musician does after writing a song is to check for plagiarism.

When "You Deserve It" was first created, Chen Kesheng checked the song the next day and found that it was similar to another song. He was originally planning to rewrite it, but Yu Yu's absolute pitch was able to hear the difference between the two songs, so he was able to continue creating "You Deserve It".

The same goes for the song "Fireworks for Mid-Autumn Festival". They don't want to rack their brains to write a work in two hours, only to find out that it resembles other songs or soundtracks after performing it in front of audiences at home and abroad.

The seven of them sat together in a circle and went through the melody and lyrics. After deleting, subtracting, modifying and fine-tuning them, they asked the staff to return their phones and began checking for plagiarism.

Fortunately, their current arrangement is safe.

This is the first time that the seven members of the Re-employment Boys Group have collaborated to complete an impromptu song in such a short time on a show. Maybe they will not do such a crazy thing in the future as it is a bit too brain-consuming.

But with the help of Yu Yu, the all-round assistant, the first "group song" after "You Deserve It" was finally born perfectly.

Yu Yu and Wang Zhengliang sat on each side, one with a DJ in front of him and the other with an electronic keyboard in front of him. They sat at the outermost edge. Chen Qisheng sat in the C position with a guitar in his arms. Seven people sat neatly on the stage.

Looking at the audience arranged by the program team below the stage, they looked at each other and smiled at each other. The music started, and the light but warm melody flowed into the hearts of everyone present like a clear spring.

The tone was still set by Chen Qisheng at the beginning. As soon as he opened his mouth, people could not help but be attracted and intoxicated by his voice. And when Lu Hu imitated the Xingcheng dialect and sang the special snacks of Xingcheng, people could not help laughing.

Wang Yuexin, Wang Zhengliang and Zhang Yuan brought out the advice and love of those who are away from home during the holidays and missing their families. The lyrics, which are not fancy, coupled with the lively music and their touching singing, touched the hearts of the audience word by word, making their emotions fluctuate with the ups and downs of the music.

Yu Yu and Su Xing did not appear in this verse, but when the others sang the chorus, they sang the same melody with them.

As the recognized million-dollar harmony voice by everyone in the Re-employment Boys Group, although they had only performed harmony once during the previous rehearsal, Yu Yu, who was extremely musically sensitive, naturally lagged behind the others by a few beats during the chorus. When Lu Hu and Su Xing, who were originally half a beat behind the others, finished singing the three words "moon ah" in the chorus, he hummed along with their ending tune, singing the upward "ah" sound.

He did not sing any words, but the sound of his voice passing through his throat was like the casual humming of a siren, which suddenly gave the whole chorus a silky yet lingering little tail, like the sharp curved hook of the high-hanging sickle moon, which is obviously a hook but casts an impartial and cold light on the earth.

A few harmonious chants are like the finishing touch, as if using music to massage the soul in the ears, so comfortable that one wants to close his eyes and drift with the waves of music in the moonlight.

As choristers performing on the same stage with Yu Yu, the brothers felt more deeply about his harmonic processing. It was as if Yu Boya finally met Zhong Ziqi. There was no other voice like this in the world that could make their voices resonate.

They looked at him, and smiles appeared on their faces involuntarily.

Yu Yu looked at them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of inviting dance, asking Su Xing to sing the next part, while he himself began to integrate into the electronic music.

Yu Yu's electronic music was not added suddenly. He made a gradual transition along with the guitar sounds of Chen Xinsheng and Lu Hu. Behind Su Xing's rhythmic rap, it was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, gradually spreading out and adding a bit of psychedelic and hazy electronic veil to the originally cheerful rap.

Rhythmic rap matched with unpredictable electronic music. The lyrics and music that originally did not match each other at all unexpectedly became harmonious and complementary at this moment. The lyrics that followed one step at a time chased the music that was as trackless as the wind, while the unpredictable music entangled the lyrics. It was hard to imagine that such a unique and incredible work was actually the improvisation of these old babes.

"Memories flooded my mind..."

After Su Xing finished singing this line, he looked at Yu Yu, and the six people began to insert introductions in the intervals between songs: "Here es Yu——"

"Recalling your past self, don't forget to hold on to the present. To those who pass by, nod and hug. Recalling my past self, the present is already under my feet. On the quiet streets at night, the moon will accompany me home."

"Oh, moon, hanging in the sky," the seven people sang the chorus again, "Did you receive my thoughts?"

The lyrics of the chorus were not complicated, and the melody was simple, catchy and unusually memorable. Some of the audience members who had only heard it once had already learned to hum it. Together with the seven people on the stage, they beat the beat, swayed their bodies and sang about the moon bringing longing to the one they loved.

When the re-employed brothers on the stage finished singing and stood up to take their bows, they realized belatedly that their performance was over. The audience was reluctant to leave and whispered to the people around them as if they had found a treasure.

Who could have imagined that they could improvise such a work in just two hours!

And the electronic music in the middle of Yu Yu's song sounds a bit like psychedelic rock, but it is more unpredictable than psychedelic rock. Is this the charm of Feng Yao with electricity? I didn't expect that he is not only good at traditional music, but also so good at electronic music! If the previous "The Betrayer" was just a first attempt and could not prove anything, then this improvisation has completely proved his strength.

Not to mention the audience at the scene, even the audience in front of the TV thought that this music program was too ingenious, and they couldn't get enough of it and wanted to listen to it again! And then they will definitely watch this video repeatedly, and even forward it to various social platforms to promote it...

So could the audio be uploaded quickly?

As expected, "Fireworks at Mid-Autumn Festival" by the Re-employment Men's Group directly won the ratings championship in their time slot.
