Chen Yijie didn't come here to urge Yang Yi to write a song for him. Tianxiang Records had invited Yang Yi to write a song for Chen Yijie in the name of the company. He just hadn't seen Yang Yi for a few months, so he should pay him a visit.
The relationship between two people needed to be closer!
Chen Yijie did better than Yang Yi in this regard!
Since they hadn't had dinner yet, Yang Yi informed the hotel to book a private room for everyone to have dinner together.
"The one I didn't expect the most is Xiao Guo. When I met Xiao Guo at your place, I thought he was your agent. I didn't expect him to be a singer now!" Chen Yijie basically knew all the people present. Even Mo Fei's father was introduced to him at the rehearsal in the afternoon. So he told Yang Yi about him without any hesitation.
In order to adapt to the atmosphere at the table, Chen Yijie tried to express himself in Mandarin. Although he still had a strong Hong Kong accent, it was much better than last year.
"Eason, you can't say that. I just sang a song. How can I be a singer? I'm still your fan. " Guo Ziyi stood up with a smile, picked up his glass, and clinked it with Eason's. He said, "It's my honor to sing at the same concert as you."
"Hey, you're too modest. Mu Zi 'ang, also Yang Yi's songs, I've heard them all. You sang very well. You're full of emotions. There are people in Harbor City who like to listen to this Fairy Tale!" Chen Yijie laughed.
After Guo Ziyi sat down, Ding Xiang, who was next to him, bumped his arm. Guo Ziyi leaned over and heard Ding Xiang whisper, "Don't drink so much wine."
"It's not wine. No one drinks today. We have to sing tomorrow." Guo Ziyi covered his mouth and explained to her.
On the other side, Murphy, who was picking out the fish bones for Xi Xi, raised her head and asked in surprise, "Hey, Xiao Guo was Yang Yi's agent before?"
"No, he was just a guest." Yang Yi smiled and told Murphy a short history of Chen Yijie asking for a song. He didn't know how to sing, so thanks to Guo Ziyi's help.
"This guest role cost our company a lot of money!" Chen Yijie laughed. "Later, President Hu said that he would never bet with Yang Yi again, especially when he saw that the songs you wrote for Murphy were so good."
Yang smiled and said, "The bet was just because the price was too low when I was a newcomer, so I wanted to get a higher profit. Of course, now that you're offering a generous price, there's no need for us to take the risk. "
"Brother Yang, are you writing songs for Eason now?" Guo Ziyi caught the main point and asked in surprise, "What songs did you write? Can we listen to it in advance? "
While everyone was talking, Mo Henian was at the side. Although he couldn't get a word in, he wasn't left out. Murphy and Yang Yi would occasionally turn to whisper to him and ask him what he wanted to eat.
However, Mo Henian didn't care at all. Instead, he listened carefully to these people's conversations and found a strange situation.
Murphy was more famous than Yang Yi. Logically speaking, his daughter should receive more attention.
Or Chen Yijie, the Hong Kong star that he had heard about (from his wife), should also be the center of everyone's attention.
However, this wasn't the case. Murphy didn't take the initiative to talk. She just faintly relied on Yang Yi, as if the man was the most important person outside.
Chen Yijie's attitude towards Yang Yi was also beyond Mo Henian's imagination. He was very respectful, not to mention the others. The overall atmosphere gave Mo Henian a feeling that Yang Yi, who usually didn't show off, was the real center of attention!
Putting aside Mo Henian's feelings, after Chen Yijie heard Guo Ziyi's words, he quickly explained, "Our company just asked Yang Yi for a song not long ago. Composing is a very difficult job. How can it be so fast?"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Eason, you're wrong. I've already prepared two songs for you. It's just that I had some things to do before, so I didn't have the chance to go to the recording studio to show the accompaniment."
"Really? Two songs? "Chen Yijie asked in surprise.
"That's right. It's the same as last time. One Cantonese song and one Mandarin song." Yang Yi nodded.
"The Cantonese song is the one you sang in the car when we came back from the bar last time?" Guo Ziyi asked. He knew the name of the song.
Yang Yi shook his head lightly and said, "No, it's another song I wrote for Eason. It's called 'Bicycle'."
Murphy looked at Yang Yi with some admiration. She felt that it was very magical. Yang Yi could always come up with new songs without anyone noticing. And until now, Yang Yi's songs were all very good!
It was fine if they didn't mention it, but now that Yang Yi mentioned it, everyone's curiosity was bursting. They all wanted Yang Yi to sing it.
"Do I have to sing it without accompaniment?" Yang Yi smiled and looked at Chen Yijie. This song was written for him, so Yang Yi wanted Chen Yijie to make the decision.
"It's okay, just sing it a cappella! I can't wait to know what kind of song it is! "Chen Yijie leaned forward, both arms on the table, and looked at Yang Yi expectantly.
"Okay then!" Yang Yi did not hesitate.
Murphy poured a glass of water for him. Yang Yi drank it, cleared his throat, and began to brew his emotions.
There was no accompaniment, but the accompaniment was already echoing in his mind. Yang Yi closed his eyes and seemed to "see" the gentle and soft sound of the guitar. It was soft, like the quiet flow of Hong Kong at night.
"Don't, don't assume that I know everything is for me. Why is it so great, I can't feel it …"
Yang Yi opened his mouth, and the familiar Cantonese that came out of his mouth still amazed everyone. Although they all knew that Yang Yi knew Cantonese, he really sang it skillfully!
Yang Yi sang with his eyes closed, while Chen Yijie looked at Yang Yi seriously, listening to every line he sang.
"Let's not talk about how good love is. I only remember one time when we were riding bicycles, hugging each other tightly …" Yang Yi suddenly raised his voice, "Hard to leave, hard to part, I want to hug each other tighter. Life is like the wilderness, like a child can lean on his father's shoulder, who wants to get off the car!"
Murphy looked at Yang Yi infatuatedly. She was not like Guo Ziyi, Ding Xiang, and Yang Huan, who did not understand the lyrics. Murphy not only understood it, but also liked the melody of the song.
If she did not see it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that such a moving song came from Yang Yi's mouth.
Of course, Murphy did not doubt it. Because no matter how good Yang Yi's songs were, she firmly believed in him. The current Murphy was just proud of Yang Yi!
Chen Yijie also understood the lyrics. It seemed that Yang Yi was expressing his feelings for his father. That father did not know how to express his feelings, nor did he know how to properly express his love for his child! (Note 1)
The lyrics at the end confirmed Chen Yijie's guess, "How can I believe this, How much you love me, But inconvenient to let me know, Miss the bicycle, The only hug I ever had …"
What made Chen Yijie even more surprised was Yang Yi's singing. Chen Yijie did not agree with the media's previous boasting, because he had heard Yang Yi sing before. When he sang "Long Time No See," there were quite a few flaws. But now, listening to Yang Yi sing "Bicycle," he was like a famous singer who had been famous for a long time. There was no accompaniment, but he still sang the proper melody.
Especially when he sang the climax, such as "There are always some things that are hard to part with and hard to part with, so it's normal that can't be avoided." The melody did not seem difficult to sing, but Chen Yijie could still tell that Yang Yi's singing skills were strong in this section!
Of course, he did not know that Yang Yi was actually using the experience from his previous life. But he had to admit that after learning a lot about singing from Murphy, Yang Yi's singing skills were indeed not comparable to an ordinary recording studio singer!
Chen Yijie was infatuated with the song. He could not help but tremble, as if he was thinking about the effect of this song if he sang it.
After the song ended, Yang Yi found that his hand was held by Murphy. She looked at him affectionately.
Murphy did not understand the deep meaning of this song, and neither did Chen Yijie. Only she understood Yang Yi the most. She knew that Yang Yi wrote this song about his true feelings.
Murphy knew what kind of father Yang Chonggui was, and she could empathize with him. Murphy was exactly the same as Yang Chonggui. They both did not know how to properly express their love for their children.
"It's okay, we'll be together!" Murphy was too embarrassed to say it, but she seemed to be using her eyes to express her concern for Yang Yi.
Yang Yi understood. He smiled and gently squeezed Murphy's hand, giving a positive response.
Although a lot of words were used here, the emotional exchange between the two of them only lasted a few seconds. After everyone started applauding, Murphy embarrassedly let go of Yang Yi's hand.
"This song!" Chen Yijie did not know what words to use to describe it.
"It's suitable for you, right?" Yang Yi smiled and said.
Suitable for what? Chen Yijie and Yang Yi both understood. This song was not as simple as it looked. There were many parts that tested one's singing skills! Moreover, the emotions expressed in this song were very complicated. Without Chen Yijie's voice, which was full of stories, this song would be much inferior to other singers!
"Yes!" Chen Yijie nodded and smiled. "I can't wait to go back to the recording studio to practice this song!"
"Don't! You're going to sing for my wife! "Yang Yi joked." Also, after listening to the first song, you don't want to listen to the second one? "
"Yes, of course!" Chen Yijie hurriedly nodded, as if he was afraid that Yang Yi would stop the second song if he said it too late.
Guo Ziyi and the others could not help but laugh. It was rare to see Chen Yijie so agitated!
