There was no grand press conference, only a little mention on Microbroadcasting. After Yang Yi and Murphy's two versions of "Love of a Lifetime" were completed on March 7, they quietly landed on major music websites.
However, after the song was released, the sales were not as hot as usual, and there was even a feeling of coolness!
This was not because the promotion was not enough, but because the song was placed in the Cantonese section. Other than the fans who spoke Cantonese, who chose to buy the single without hesitation, the fans in other regions, except for the hardcore ones, all stopped in their tracks...
Even if some passer-by fans hesitated and bought the song, without any background story, they were confused. Even if the melody was moving, they felt that they had lost out, and the evaluation they gave was suddenly not very high.
However, the fans who could understand and had some life experience still gave the song a very high evaluation.
To buy or not to buy? Many people were watching. Looking at the different rhetoric in the comments, the onlookers flinched.
However, the media engaged in the music industry have been in high spirits. The songs written by Yang Yi can't even squeeze into the top 50 sales, which is a very rare thing!
… …
Li Shijian, a professional music critic, was hired to write a music review column in "Voice of China". Although with the development of the Internet, the audience of music review columns in traditional media has been much smaller, "Voice of China" magazine has actively improved and also cooperated with the company's Tianzhai music website. Music news and music review articles in print media will also be uploaded to the Internet for fans to read.
Therefore, Li Shijian, who has unique insights and analysis in music and is sophisticated in writing, still has a lot of fans, and most of the fans are similar to Li Shijian's style of music. From reading Li Shijian's column, they can find the music they like.
On this day, Li Shijian received an invitation from the editor-in-chief, asking him to comment on Yang Yi's new song "Love of a Lifetime".
Of course, the editor-in-chief had some bad intentions. He hoped that Li Shijian could analyze the reason why Yang Yi's new song was not popular, which would make it convenient for them to make a big fuss in the news module!
"I'll listen to it first!" Li Shijian responded indifferently.
Li Shijian's impression of Yang Yi was still very good. In the past, Li Shijian gave high praise to songs such as "Listen to the Sea" and "Coming Across the Sea to See You".
What kind of song would this "Love of a Lifetime" be?
It can't be a love song, right?
To be honest, Li Shijian was a little tired of listening to Yang Yi and Murphy sing love songs. Sweet songs couldn't express the kind of unforgettable feelings like "Listen to the Sea"!
But before making a judgment, Li Shijian cleared his mind and forgot who Yang Yi was, who Murphy was, and the songs they had sung before. Then, he started to listen to the music.
The first song that Li Shijian listened to was Yang Yi's version, which was similar to the one that Yang Yi had sung for his grandfather. The accompaniment was very pure, and it was a simple guitar solo.
But just from the prelude, Li Shijian could tell something!
It didn't sound like a normal pop tune. The charming and gentle string notes seemed to have a bit of an exotic flavor!
"Slow, very slow! The melody of this song should have a sad tone! "Li Shijian was energized.
Then, Yang Yi's singing came. Although the Cantonese lyrics made Li Shijian frown slightly. He could understand some Cantonese, but after all, he was not an authentic native speaker of Cantonese. It was a bit difficult to listen to it now. However, Yang Yi's singing was refreshing to Li Shijian!
It was not popular at all, and it was not retro at all. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as old and melancholy. Li Shijian had never heard this kind of singing before. It was very unique!
But it was unique and not abrupt. Li Shijian was very comfortable listening to it, especially the singing that was low and sometimes high. When it was low, it made people feel confused, and when it was high, it made people feel like they were in a barren wilderness. A sense of desolation arose spontaneously …
"The sea of bitterness turns up love and hate, it's hard to escape fate in the world …"
Li Shijian felt as if his heart was pierced by a sky full of arrows. There was a kind of powerless sorrow. He did not seem to have the time to think carefully about the meaning of the lyrics. Just Yang Yi's singing was enough to make Li Shijian fall into it.
After listening to the song, Li Shijian found that his eyes were a little wet. However, he still did not understand what the song was about.
After three hours, Li Shijian took off his headphones. However, he flipped through the pages that were full of notes. He did not intend to write a music review immediately.
Li Shijian could not wait to pick up his phone and make a call. "Old Pu, are you asleep? If you are not, quickly get up. I recommend you to listen to a song. No, two songs. Two singing styles of the same song. "
"It's not a Mandarin song. It's your Cantonese song. Even I, a person who does not speak Cantonese, think it's good! Quickly come and give it a try. "
"Yang Yi wrote it. Yes! The Yang Yi who wrote 'Better Not See' and 'Bicycle'. "
"Both versions are very good. I didn't expect that Mo Fei can sing Cantonese songs, and she can sing them so well. But I prefer Yang Yi's version. It's not that Murphy's is not good. Her accompaniment is richer, and her singing is tactful enough. But Yang Yi's version is very special. It's the first time I've seen a guitar solo and a singing style. You'll know when you listen to it! It's absolutely good! "
In addition to looking for Old Pu, Li Shijian also recommended it to several familiar music critics in Harbor City. He was so excited that he picked up the pen and wrote his own music review in the middle of the night.
However, his editor-in-chief was obviously going to be disappointed!
…
The Cantonese songs were not well received. In fact, Yang Yi and Murphy were psychologically prepared. So although many media were laughing at them, Yang Yi and Murphy did not care. Their lives were not affected.
It was another weekend. During breakfast, Xi Xi held a small spoon and asked with interest, "PaPa, where are we going to play today?"
Yang Yi asked with a smile, "Where do you want to go?"
Just when the little girl was thinking, Murphy suddenly gave a suggestion, "Xi Xi, do you like dancing? Why don't you go to the studio with me today to practice dancing? I can teach you how to dance. "
Tong Tong was born at the end of November last year. Now Murphy had been giving birth naturally for nearly four months! Her body had recovered very well, and simple jogging to lose weight was no longer able to meet her needs. So a few days ago, after the doctor confirmed that she could dance, Mo Fei couldn't wait to take out the dancing shoes and clothes that she had bought a month ago.
"Okay!" The little girl's eyes lit up and she nodded happily. She giggled and said, "MaMa, I really like dancing. Then, then I can dance two dances and three dances. Teacher Shen taught us how to dance! Qiqi and I are the best at dancing! "
As she spoke, Xi Xi became more energetic. She looked at Murphy expectantly and said, "Mom, can we ask Qiqi to dance with us? And Xin Er, Lu Weisha … "
She even started counting.
This little girl, as she grew up, talked about her friends more and more. Although Xi Xi was willing to play with her parents now, when she grew up in her teens or twenties, puberty and rebellious, would she still be willing to accompany her parents?
Of course, this would be a long time in the future. But when she thought about it occasionally, it was still a little sad.
Murphy looked at Yang Yi helplessly and smiled bitterly. However, Murphy still agreed to her daughter's request. Anyway, the studio built for them was very big. It was enough for this group of children to dance wildly in it!
But after a few rounds of phone calls, only Lu Weisha's mother, Marilla, agreed.
Lan Xin was brought by her mother to Jinling City to reunite with Boss Lan this weekend. Yang Luoqi, who was the best dancer, had to go to tutoring class today. Chen Shiyun and Nan Zhaoyu's parents were not free, so they could only apologize to Xi Xi.
Luckily, at least there was still Lu Weisha. Although Xi Xi felt sorry, she didn't feel too sorry.
