My canary flew away

When the new album preview was released before, in addition to a piece of audio, the studio also sent a blurred picture, which was cut out from the album cover.

According to the original expectation, they will release the other parts of the cover in the next seven days, and fans can play a "jigsaw puzzle" in the process.

Up to now, because one-third of the tracks have been changed, the most important thing is the change of the title track.Although Shang Yu has not released the finished product of the new song, but the staff members think that the album cover will also change.

Originally, it was just a private discussion over coffee, but as they talked, several people felt that this matter was really important.

They looked at each other, and finally, Wang Shan said: "I have to ask Brother Shang. If you want to change the cover, at this point, you have to start requesting manuscripts."

Everyone present "hissed" in unison, frowning.

One wave after another.

Wang Shan said, "Who is going to ask?"

All eyes fell on him silently.

Wang Shan pursed his lips and nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll go."

That's what he said, but when he was really standing at the door of Shang Yu's workshop, Wang Shan still hesitated, wondering if he should knock on the door.

Now it was 36 hours after the second statement was issued. According to his rough memory, Shang Yu had locked himself in the workshop for a whole day, and he didn't even come out for lunch.

At noon, someone asked to ask, but Wang Shan stopped him. He said, "Brother Shang said, he wants to write a song, so let's not disturb him."

The others were silent when they heard this.

This is not the time to "teach him to eat something and take care of himself because he cares about his boss".

On the contrary, everyone has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and from the bottom of their hearts, they don't think that it is important to skip a meal.

Having said that, seeing the sun sinking, Wang Shan was still a little worried about the situation of the boss.

He will take the initiative to invite Ying, and there are also factors in this aspect.

Thinking of this, Wang Shan took a deep breath, and finally raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

After three beeps, his hand stopped.

Many eyes turned around, but there was no movement inside the door.

this is normal.

Although the house was signed as a lease contract when the studio was listed, before actually moving in, Shang Yu carried out a simple decoration of his studio and pasted thick soundproof cotton on the walls.

Although the price is that the actual usable area of ​​the house is smaller, it is very effective.Inside and outside the door, even if there was a fight on one side, it would be difficult to hear the movement on the other side.

Everyone counted silently in their hearts.

If Shang Yu is not wearing earphones and immersed in the arrangement, then he will come to open the door.

If it still doesn't turn on after counting ten seconds, it proves that this is really not a good time to interrupt.

Time passed by second by second, Wang Shan lowered his hand, and was about to make a gesture of "discuss later" to everyone, but the door in front of him opened.

Shang Yu still had earphones hanging around his neck. As soon as the door opened, he met the eyes of the assistant outside the door, and at the same time saw a group of rabbits rushing back to their workstations, like rabbits that quickly disappeared after popping up in a game of whack-a-mole. employees.

Shang Yu was startled, but quickly recovered, leaning against the door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Shan judged in his heart: he should still find me annoying, but he didn't want to say anything more.

Thinking of this, he quickly said his request to knock on the door.

Justified.

After hearing this, Shang Yu raised his brows a little bit, but his temper was not bad, and he said, "Yes, it needs to be replaced."

Wang Shan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.The melody is still in his mind, several times, after a few seconds of ecstasy, he will come back to it.As soon as he raised his eyes, he met his assistant's worried gaze.

Others kept peeking here too.

When Shang Yu saw this, he felt a little warm in his heart.

He said: "The title song is almost finished, so, now it's—"

He glanced at his watch, a little surprised, "It's six o'clock? Have you ordered dinner yet?"

Wang Shan shook his head and said, "No."

Just in time, after making a phone call, Yu Qinqin walked in from the balcony and looked at the scene inside, feeling a little dazed.

Shang Yu said: "Everyone has worked hard these two days. How about this, I will treat you tonight, and everyone will have a good meal. Xiao Wang, please call me."

Wang Shan listened, smiled, and Shang Yu said again: "But find a faster one. Well, right now, everyone, please help listen to the new title song."

After these words came out, the hearts of most of the employees in the studio missed a beat.

They were nervous and apprehensive, and they were most worried about Yu Qinqin.She didn't show anything on the surface, but in fact, she was in a state of being on the verge of going crazy.

When Shang Yu turned around and went to get the computer from the workshop, Yu Qinqin had only one thought in mind: What if the new song is really much worse than the old one?

This was undoubtedly the last thing she wanted to see.

After all, she was the one who proposed the song change plan.

Yu Qinqin felt that she was responsible.

After a while, Shang Yu came out holding the computer.

He was wearing a gray sweater with an exaggeratedly laughing Mickey Mouse on it.But at this moment, Mickey Mouse's joy could not be conveyed to everyone present.

Everyone stood ready and surrounded Shang Yu.

Shang Yu originally thought that he should go to the conference room to put this rough finished product on the computer.

But seeing the gazes of the staff, he realized that everyone in this studio needs a boost.

So Shang Yu didn't say anything, just pressed the "play button".

The new song is a typical folk style.

When the prelude came out, many staff couldn't help but squeezed their hands, and some people drew the cross on their chests.

And when the first line of the lyrics came out, everyone's eyes were glued to the back of the computer screen like glue.

Shang Yu thought about it and suggested: "Everyone can close their eyes——"

Halfway through the speech, he noticed the eyes of everyone, and he shut up and stopped talking.

It's not just the staff who need encouragement, Shang Yu also needs it.

In the past, he only hummed the first half of this song to Guan Cheng, but now, Shang Yu realized that at that time, as long as it was a song he "wrote for Brother Guan", Guan Cheng would like and praise it.

But what about others?

Shang Yu's eyes swept over the faces of the staff bit by bit.

He was uneasy at first, but later on, seeing the expressions of the staff gradually relaxed, and even showing a little smile, Shang Yu's emotions became more complicated.

Until the end of a song, for a while, no one spoke.

Finally Shang Yu spoke.

He asked: "If you have any opinions, you can express them."

Normally, he should send his works to some friends in the circle who are also musicians.But now, firstly, he really doesn't have time to communicate with other people, and secondly, because of Luke's situation, he sounded the siren for Shang Yu.

He knew intellectually that this kind of thing rarely happened, and he was unlucky enough to encounter it once, but he couldn't use this to judge what would happen to other people.

But emotionally, it's hard to accept.

In contrast, these staff who have signed contracts and non-disclosure agreements with him have become a good choice.

Shang Yu added: "The first half of the lyrics is a finished product, the second half is rough and will be revised."

Yu Qinqin thought about it and said, "I think this song is... special."

Shang Yu said, "Is this a good word or a bad word?"

Yu Qinqin smiled, her tone was indeed relaxed, and said: "It's very touching. I think of "The Road in a Small Town". It's the same as this song. It's describing a scene and telling a story. If I had been in this song and I can choose between the previous ones, and I am not sure which one I can choose.”

Shang Yu listened to her, said "Wow" softly, and said, "Isn't this evaluation a bit too high?"

On the contrary, he couldn't believe it.

But after his words fell, other people in the studio also opened their mouths in a hurry.

"That's right, Brother Shang, it's really good, it's pretty good. It's very impressive just to record it in such an ordinary way. If it goes on stage and adds reverb, wow, it's going to blow up the scene."

Shang Yu: "...Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration, the first half of love, the second half of broken love, right?"

"Actually, it's not just love. It can also be that the first half of the year was young and high-spirited. Afterwards, I have experienced a lot, but I still don't change my original intention."

"To be honest, I haven't heard any good love songs this year. But Brother Shang, you might really be able to."

As the staff talked, their voices became more and more relaxed.

Shang Yu's mood calmed down a little bit.

From being unsure at the beginning to now, he looked at the bright eyes of the person in front of him.

The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Shang Yu's fingers were caressing the keyboard a little bit, and he was about to say something when he suddenly heard a "ding dong", which was the doorbell.

The takeaway is here.

Wang Shan went downstairs to wait before, but now he came here with takeaway, looking at the completely different atmosphere in the office from when he left, he was a little dazed.

For the sake of convenience, he ordered rice stir-fry, which was a restaurant very close by, and he paid an expedited fee.

Seeing this, Shang Yu made a decision: "Let's go to the meeting room to eat."

All the dishes are placed in the middle, and each person is given a box of lunch.

When breaking apart the disposable chopsticks and starting to eat, the discussion on Shang Yu's new song was still not over.

Everyone chattered and chatted, and for a while, it seemed to be a celebration party.

Seeing this, Wang Shan didn't understand anything.

He suddenly felt relieved, and heard one of the little girls ask: "By the way, Brother Shang, have you named this song yet?"

Shang Yu said, "There are a few options."

A group of people urged him: "Let's hear it! By the way, the cover of the new album..."

Shang Yu said: "Well, I also have a little idea."

There is a whiteboard in the meeting room, and the staff will write on it with oil-based pens during the usual meetings.Up to now, the contact information of various media is written on it, so that we can find it as soon as possible if necessary.

Shang Yu put down his chopsticks, walked to the whiteboard, and turned over the written side.

On the back is the original publicity plan that has not been wiped off.

He watched, his eyes changed slightly, and finally picked up the eraser and erased the content on it.

He said: "If the current lyrics are acceptable, then this song, and the title of the entire album, I would like to decide as—"

He drew two squares in front of him, which are the front and back of the album.

There is a birdcage on the grid on the front, a withered rose flower is inserted beside the birdcage, and a bird is parked in it.

It is very similar to another painting he painted at the beginning.

Shang Yu moved twice, but he couldn't find the original painting both times.

He had some guesses in his heart, although he would also pray, hoping that the housekeeping company just accidentally dropped the painting out of the book when packing, and now the paper might be in other unopened boxes.

But Shang Yu will not ignore another possibility: maybe, that painting was dropped in Guan Cheng's house.

In this way, Guan Cheng might see it.

Shang Yu took a deep breath.

He started painting the back.

It is still a bird, with its back to the cage, about to fly far away.

When he stopped writing, the staff members fell into a neat silence in front of the two stick figures outlined by the blue oil-based pen.

Shang Yu looked back at everyone's eyes.Because of the rare relaxation before, at this moment, he felt a little funny, so he laughed.

Shang Yu said: "It's better to ask professionals to draw it, it's just an idea.

"By the way, the picture that was previewed before is all green and blue. The concept at that time was 'peacock's tail feathers'," which is Shang Yu's support color, "it can be used on this bird."

As he spoke, the tip of the pen tapped lightly on the whiteboard.

Land on the bird crouching in the cage.

At this moment, Shang Yu's demeanor and eyes were very different from the slumped few days ago.

He knew that he was indeed a person who was very good at writing and singing songs.

Audiences will love his work, he can achieve something.

Wang Shan was in charge of contacting the artist. At this moment, he recorded every word Shang Yu said, and then asked, "Brother Shang, what color is the other bird?"

Shang Yu said: "The other one." He looked sideways at the whiteboard, thinking of Guan Cheng, thinking of every kiss Guan Cheng had ever given him, and the three-piece suits that Guan Cheng had always given him, his eyes were a little dazed, "I haven't Think it over and decide later."
