"Hmph, what are you all so nervous about? Look at how scared you are."
Qian Qinghua crossed his arms and snorted.
It's just Ting Yu.
He's amazing at ancient style music.
Does that mean he's also amazing at love songs?
Even though he didn't know Ting Yu's age, judging from his previous song "Compendium of Materia Medica," Ting Yu should be quite young.
Perhaps only in his twenties.
To become a top producer at such a young age with ancient style music was already a remarkable genius. If he was also good at love songs, then he was a monster.
"I don't believe his love songs are as good as his ancient style music, anyway."
Seeing no one was paying attention to him, Qian Qinghua muttered to himself.
What's the rush?
What's to panic about!
After researching love songs for most of his life, would he be surpassed by a young man?
...
The intro began.
The classic piano and strings combination for love songs.
Qian Qinghua's eyebrows rose.
He subtly tilted his ear.
"A sad duet love song is a true test of both singers' skills. Ting Yu chose his singers well. Lin Yanyu's vocals are excellent, and this Su Yu, although not debuted yet, has terrifyingly good singing skills from the online live recordings, better than many professional singers."
Although he didn't believe Ting Yu could write good love songs.
Qian Qinghua was very impressed with the singers he chose.
However, based on their previous performances, they had a sweet and affectionate demeanor. Could they convey the feeling of a sad love song?
"The horizon far away begins to cloud over,
How can sorrow be calmed into pure white?
My face always carries,
A hint of faint helplessness..."
When Su Yu's delicate voice emerged.
Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but be taken aback.
It was too stable.
Su Yu's breath support was unbelievably steady!
Furthermore, the emotional delivery was perfectly nuanced.
It felt like a narration, yet carried a faint sadness, tugging at the heartstrings of the listeners.
Among them,
Qin Feng and Qian Qinghua had the strongest reactions.
One was a singer, the other a producer.
Both found professional details within these few lines.
"You mouthed 'you're leaving,'
'Not here.'
The sadness slowed down without a sound,
A surging tide, do you understand?
It's not waves, but a sea of tears..."
The latter part of the verse.
This was also the first time harmonies appeared in the song.
The two vocal parts blended seamlessly.
The string accompaniment, plus the sudden addition of classical elements, surged forward like waves.
As if presenting a vast expanse of sea before everyone.
The turbulent waves and the salty sea breeze swept over them.
Qian Qinghua couldn't sit still.
He shifted his chair, leaning closer to the table.
His pupils began to dilate.
The mood of the lyrics and melody were so synchronized.
And the harmonies could be done like this?
How was this song written?
How could he possibly write it?
Why could he write it?
Countless questions swirled in Qian Qinghua's mind.
After just the two verses, it was as if a new door had been opened for him.
So, lyrics and melody could cooperate like this!
And harmonies could be played like this!
"Turn around and leave, you couldn't say anything.
Seabirds falling in love with fish is just an accident.
Our love, the difference always existed.
Can't go back.
Dust in the wind, waiting accumulated into pain."
As the chorus kicked in.
Everyone in the room got goosebumps.
Their mouths hung open, jaws almost hitting the floor.
Su Yu's consecutive high notes were so good they could only be described as outrageous.
And Lin Yanyu's harmony layering elevated the entire song to an explosive level!
The melody was melancholic, the lyrics were heartbreaking.
The line "Seabirds falling in love with fish is just an accident"
Exploded in Qin Feng's mind.
He felt his soul trembling.
In his mind, the image of his beloved appeared.
They had been together for so many years, yet the farewell came over the phone.
Those past memories, like a switch flipped by this song, flashed wildly in his mind.
"Turn around and leave, we couldn't say goodbye.
The azure coral sea, missed in an instant turned pale.
Back then, we weren't mature enough to be honest.
We shouldn't have,
The passion faded,
Your smile couldn't be forced,
Love buried deep in the coral sea..."
Qin Feng couldn't hold back anymore.
His eyes instantly turned red.
He gasped for air, his fists clenched tightly.
Meanwhile, Qian Qinghua, outwardly calm, was experiencing a storm within.
Harmony genius!
This Ting Yu had pushed the application of harmony to its extreme.
Male and female voices, two parts, cooperating, sometimes in sync, sometimes out of sync.
Their tacit understanding was off the charts!
It felt as if a hand was pulling at his ears.
Pulling him to the point of heartbreak, distorting his features.
Yet, under this intense stimulation, he couldn't stop.
Only one word resonated in his mind.
This feels so damn good!
This is truly an enjoyment!
"How can ruined sand sculptures be rebuilt?
How can a cracked love be re-covered?
It's just that everything ended too quickly,
You said you couldn't let go.
What expectations are hidden in the shells?
Waiting for the flowers to bloom,
We would have no interest in guessing,
Facing the sea breeze,
Facing the sea breeze...
Salty love,
Salty love...
Can't taste the future!"
After the intensity, it returned to calm.
Like the waves accumulating strength after hitting the shore.
From the underlying melody, the tranquil piano, gradually uplifted by strings into surging waves, then connected by rhythmic classical elements.
Qian Qinghua closed his eyes, moisture gathering at the corners.
He knew that what was coming was not the sea breeze, but a tempestuous wave!
"Turn around and leave, you couldn't say anything.
Seabirds falling in love with fish is just an accident.
...
The passion faded,
Your smile couldn't be forced,
Love buried deep in the coral sea..."
...
Another perfect harmony!
Another barrage of high notes!
And the fully unleashed emotions.
Pushing the entire song to its ultimate climax.
Explosion in the skull!
Goosebumps all over!
The final ending, the cyclical piano melody, gradually calmed the colossal, surging sea surface.
As the tide receded, all traces of existence vanished like foam.
It turned out that what had washed over everyone's hearts were not waves, but a sea of tears.
It turned out that the love between seabirds and fish was just an accident.
After the song finished.
The conference room remained silent.
Everyone was immersed in the melancholic atmosphere.
Plink!
The ballpoint pen in the distribution director's hand fell to the floor.
This sound sent shivers down everyone's spine in the conference room.
Qin Feng suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Qin Feng, where are you going?"
The director was first taken aback, then asked.
"I'm going for a smoke."
Qin Feng's voice was a little hoarse.
His mind was in turmoil; Ting Yu's song had truly struck a chord with him.
Now, his mind was filled with his girlfriend's image, which he couldn't shake off.
He wanted to get some fresh air, to have a cigarette and clear his head.
"Wait!"
The director called out to him.
Qin Feng turned back in confusion.
"Smoke here, everyone together."
The director said through gritted teeth.
"But..." Qin Feng glanced at the "No Smoking" sign on the wall.
The director sneered, picked up a stool, and walked to the sign.
With a bang, he smashed the sign to pieces.
"Now it's fine!" Da Feng Novel Network
His eyes were red, but a smile played on his lips; his composure was gone.
"Okay."
Qin Feng took out his cigarettes and handed them out one by one.
When he offered one to Qian Qinghua, the latter hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
Click!
The lighter flared to life.
Qin Feng saw his girlfriend's shadow in the flickering flame.
The conference room was filled with smoke.
In the smoke, there was also his girlfriend's shadow.
His mind was full of his girlfriend's shadow!
"Wuwuwu... Waaah... Ah... Ahhh!"
Qin Feng could no longer hold back, bursting into tears.
His cries were intermittent.
Because he was smoking while crying...
PS: I woke up late, sorry...
