After everything was sorted at home, the third uncle sent Gu Yi to Hangzhou again because Gu Yi had to go to Yanjing to rehearse.
After arriving, Gu Yi got into Song Fuxing's car, and then the two of them went to pick up Yu Xue together.
Finally arriving at the studio, they met the director of the Lantern Festival Gala.
"I finally meet you. I have admired your name for a long time. I have admired your name for a long time."
The director took the initiative to shake hands with the two of them.
"Come on, let's sit here first."
The director hesitated to speak until they all sat down before speaking.
"Didn't I want you two to sing "Above the Moon" before? But there is a little problem with this performance now, because I thought so at the time. After confirming all the programs some time ago, I Submitted the program list to the leader.
But the leader was not very satisfied after seeing "Above the Moon". Of course, this was not directed at the two of you, or at the song. The main reason was that the leader felt that the theme of the song was a bit small.
Reunion Night is one of the themes of the Lantern Festival, but this love song still lacks meaning. "
Gu Yi was stunned when he heard this.
"Director, does that mean this song doesn't need to be played?"
The director shook his head: "That's not true. The arranger of this song still likes it very much, so the leader wants to change the song, whether it is to change the lyrics and music together, or just change the lyrics. Okay, let’s make this song have a bigger idea.”
Gu Yi sighed, thinking that if he wanted to change it, it would be much more complicated than reproducing a song.
"Director, how about changing a song?" Gu Yi said while thinking about what songs could be linked to the Lantern Festival.
After thinking about it, it seems that except for some holiday restrictions, there are no songs related to the Lantern Festival. There are pure music, but Gu Yi doesn't remember it that clearly.
"Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is quite good, but this song is still a bit far-fetched for a Lantern Festival party. If it were a Mid-Autumn Festival party, it would be totally fine.
In addition, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is also more popular and has a festive atmosphere, but compared to the Lantern Festival, this song is more suitable for the New Year.
So he added another sentence: "It's about celebrating the Lantern Festival, and singing about the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
But after hearing this, the director shook his head: "Such a song already exists, and I don't think you are suitable for singing this type of song. Generally, this type of song is sung by popular celebrities or actors. Because it's not difficult to sing, it would be too unfair for you to sing this kind of song.
Another problem is that this kind of song usually involves a chorus of six or eight people, so you can't sing solo. "
Gu Yi thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"How about we adapt it?"
Yu Xue said on the side.
But when it comes to adaptation, this is not Gu Yi's strong point. Gu Yi's strong point is transportation.
He sees himself very clearly and can write if he insists, but the songs he makes will definitely not be as good as those classics from his previous life.
Just as Gu Yi was thinking about it, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Yeah, why did I forget this?"
Under the surprised gazes of several people, Gu Yi said: "I have an idea. This song can be adapted, and it can also be adapted to a higher level. But the director, I want to ask a question, can we do it at our party?" Can’t we just play and not sing?”
"Only playing. This is usually a matter for large orchestras. Do you want to change the song to this kind of thing?"
Gu Yi nodded: "Actually, this song can be changed into a symphony to make the scene more grand."
"Symphony, but this is a popular song. Can it be changed to a symphony?"
"Yes, director, I promise you, but if you don't want this form of performance, then I can only change the lyrics to the theme of reunion. This is simpler, but The presentation is certainly not as good as a symphony.”
The director thought for a while: "I also think the symphony is good, but will it not be popular enough?"
Gu Yi smiled after hearing this: "Director, the meaning of the public lies in the breadth of communication and the general acceptance of the audience, but a good work can be compatible upward and downward at the same time. The original version of "Over the Moon" In fact, it is backward compatible to meet the entertainment needs of a large number of ordinary people.
But the symphony version is upward compatible, but this does not affect the appreciation of this song by ordinary people, but everyone usually likes to listen to some popular songs. After all, life is tiring enough, but this does not mean that They have no aesthetic appreciation for music. "
The director rather agreed with Gu Yi's words, because many of Gu Yi's previous works were done in this way.
"How long will your program take?"
"It takes more than three minutes, less than four minutes."
"Okay, but even though I'm not a musician, I also know that it takes a lot of time to arrange a symphony, so I'm going to make two preparations here, and put out another program that's always the same. If you can't do it by then, song, then I will replace it with another one, but don’t worry, even if you can’t attend the party this time, I will still keep the tickets for you, and this song will definitely be played by you on the stage next year. .”
"Okay, director, let's get ready first."
The director nodded: "Do you need me to help you contact the orchestra?
Gu Yi thought for a while: "The teacher of Jia Zhe, the folk musician in our band, does have a band under him, but I need to ask again."
After that, after the director nodded, Gu Yi called Jia Zhe, who had already gone home.
After dialing the phone, Gu Yi said straight to the point: "Brother Zhe, I have another big job here. I will do "Above the Moon" for the Lantern Festival party in a month, but it is a symphony version. I want our The band and the symphony also need a lot of people, so I would like to ask your teacher and your senior brothers and sisters if they are willing to come."
"Holy crap, is it such a big scene? Then I'll ask, but I feel like there should be no problem. There doesn't seem to be much work for my teacher during the Lantern Festival this year."
After hanging up the phone, Jia Zhe hurriedly called the teacher.
Gu Yi began to think about who he should look for for Western musical instruments?
In fact, there doesn't seem to be much folk music in Gu Yiting's original version, but Gu Yi thinks it can be added.
After all, it is a Chinese-style song, and I also have such resources on hand.
"Xiaoxue, uncle and aunt, can you bring us some cellos, violins and some string instruments?"
"Let me ask."
Yu Xue called her parents again, and Gu Yi told Zhou Le and Zhu Yanfang about the matter.
Both of them said it was no problem. Their home was in Yanjing anyway, so they didn’t have to travel too far for rehearsals or performances.
After the fight, Yu Xue also said that her parents could find someone because there were many teachers and many outstanding students in their training class.
You can have as many people as you want. Even if there are not that many people taking classes now, those who have graduated before can still be contacted.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhe also called back and said that his teacher also agreed.
So Gu Yi said directly to the director:
"Director, I can find the orchestra here, no problem."
"Okay, then you can make your own arrangements. Although you have a heavier task, you still have to do it as soon as possible. If you want to take it this year, it will be on the seventh day of the lunar month at the latest. Try to get an initial version out as much as possible."
"OK."
Gu Yi nodded.
After leaving the house, Gu Yi followed the address Jia Zhe gave him and came to his teacher's home.
After chatting for a while, they began to study the song. They listened to "Above the Moon" several times, and then Gu Yi expressed his thoughts.
"Teacher, I want to add the erhu, pipa, and guzheng to the music. It will last about three minutes."
The other party nodded after hearing this: "Then do you want to compose the music yourself, and then we will only be responsible for playing it?"
"Teacher, I want everyone to come up with this piece together. After all, it uses a lot of parts. If we do it ourselves, it might be more time-consuming."
"I understand, what do I need to be responsible for?"
"Teacher, you are responsible for the folk music part, then Xiaoxue's father and mother are responsible for the Western instruments, and then our band is responsible for the guitar and drum parts."
"Okay, when do you want it?"
"The sooner the better. My idea is that before the year before, we would have done the parts we were responsible for, practiced them well, and then adjusted them, and then we would start rehearsing from the third grade of junior high school after the new year. The director of the seventh grade of junior high school would have to See the finished product.”
The other party nodded.
"Then this is a tough battle."
"Yeah, if we can't get it this year, we may have to wait until next year, but I still think we can get it this year. After all, it's a rare opportunity."
After chatting with Jia Zhe's teacher for a long time and leaving each other's contact information, Gu Yi created another group and brought the other person in, and then the teacher also brought his students into the group.
Then the two went to Zhou Le and Zhu Yanfang and entrusted the drums and other parts to them respectively.
Finally, we arrived at Yu Xue’s house.
It was already getting late, so Gu Yi stayed here to have dinner and stay overnight.
Yu Xue's parents also attach great importance to this kind of thing. On the one hand, they actually want to be on such a big national stage. On the other hand, being able to show their faces on the stage will make it easier for them to recruit students in the future. The third advantage is that, although They mainly play Western instruments, but if they can chat more with the big guys in folk music and learn from them, they can also improve themselves.
So Gu Yi told some of what he remembered, and Yu Xue's parents said that they would also seize the time to make the scores for the big violin and some wind instruments.
At the same time, Gu Yi also pulled the two of them into the group.
Symphony performance is all about coordination. Even when creating, you can't do it behind closed doors. Where to highlight what parts, you have to communicate with each other.
Gu Yi had to go home the next day.
However, Yu Xue's parents said that they would also talk to the teacher at that time and strive to perfectly integrate everyone's music.
But this time, regardless of whether it can be done in advance, the tickets promised by the director can definitely be given.
"Grandma, aunt, and uncle, we will have to leave in the third grade of junior high school. Then you will live at my place first, and you can also go out for a walk. I may have to rehearse often, but I will come back after the rehearsal. "
"It's okay. You can go about your business then and don't worry about us."
Uncle said with a smile.
Although Gu Yi is celebrating the New Year at home this time, he is still very busy, because Gu Yi still has to communicate with Zhou Le and Zhu Yanfang about their own creations.
This includes putting the prepared sound source on the computer after the first draft is made. Gu Yi also has to take a look at it, and then put forward some opinions to discuss with everyone in the group.
The Chinese New Year arrived in such a busy manner.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is still a bit boring. Although the director invited some powerful people, there are still many popular stars.
Interspersed with songs, sketches, dances, etc.
After just looking at it, Gu Yi felt that You Shushan's skit this year and the several talented singers and opera programs were somewhat interesting, but the rest were not that good to be honest.
There is even a sketch that is even more rubbish than the first photo studio.
It’s uncomfortable to watch.
On the first and second days of junior high school, relatives came to sit and sit, and they all went to see their relatives on the other side.
Gu Yi also went to see his grandparents.
Although everyone knows that Gu Yi is now a big star and rich, in the end Gu Yi still received a lot of red envelopes.
Who told him not to get married yet?
When the time came for the third grade of junior high school, they packed up the house and took the car specially sent by Ning Xiu to Hangzhou. However, they had to catch a flight today, so they did not go to the company, but the third uncle said that he would wait until he came back next time. Be sure to treat Ning Xiu to a meal afterwards, firstly to thank Ning Xiu for sending a car to pick them up this time, and secondly to thank Ning Xiu for taking care of Gu Yi over the years.
Gu Yi smiled and said yes.
After arriving at the airport, Gu Yi was recognized by many people, but when everyone saw Gu Yi supporting an old man, they curiously asked who this was.
After learning that this was Gu Yi's grandma, they also greeted Gu Yi's grandma one after another.
Including stopping other fans and passers-by who wanted to go up and get Gu Yi's autograph and take a photo.
Normally, there would be nothing wrong with asking for an autograph or taking a group photo, but now it was obvious that Gu Yi couldn't spare the time, so he couldn't leave the old man alone. Gu Yi ran to take pictures with fans by himself.
"thank you all."
When passing through the security check, Gu Yi also thanked the other party.
Neither the third uncle nor the third aunt, including grandma, had ever flown on a plane. This time, Gu Yi arranged for them to travel first class.
The stewardess came over from time to time to ask if they needed help, and even brought them a small blanket.
“The service on this plane is quite good.”
"Yes, if you need anything, you can tell them."
"It's okay. What can we need? We'll only be sitting for two hours in total, and we already got water while waiting for the plane."
"But Gu Yi, how are we going to get to where you live then? Will there be a lot of people at Yanjing Airport? Is it difficult to take a taxi?"
Gu Yi smiled: "It's okay. There is a driver. The driver will pick us up when the time comes. No need to take a taxi."
"Okay, Erdan now has a dedicated driver."
"Haha, it's provided by the company. After all, I often have to go to work, so it's much more convenient to have a driver."
"That's good too."
The third uncle, third aunt and grandma all seemed a little restrained on the plane.
They didn't dare to speak too loudly. Even the enthusiastic service of the stewardess made them feel a little embarrassed. They didn't want to trouble others every time.
But when the plane took off, looking at the sky getting higher and higher, the third aunt quickly withdrew her gaze and did not dare to look outside anymore, while the third uncle and grandma looked out of the window curiously.
Seeing the distance between the cities getting further and further away, I couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
When the plane passed through the clouds, the brilliance of the sun coated the light and soft clouds with a thin golden edge, and they sighed again.
"This guy flies so high, higher than the clouds."
The third uncle had never seen this scene before. What was shown on TV and what was actually seen with the naked eye were completely different.
But after watching for a while, they ate something and drank drinks and then fell asleep.
Finally, the plane landed smoothly. Gu Yi supported his grandma and took his uncle and aunt to get their luggage first, and then pushed the suitcase outside.
Outside, Gu Yi called the driver, and it didn't take long for the driver to drive to the exit.
Sitting in the car, the driver was also very talkative. After asking several people about their ages, he sighed at Grandma Gu Yi's longevity.
By the way, he also talked about his elders.
Anyway, he quickly became involved with everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, brother. This is the money I earn. Besides, having such an elderly man in the car will bring you blessings."
Gu Yi also nodded: "Master, I will leave your phone number with them when the time comes."
After speaking, Gu Yi looked at his third uncle again: "Uncle, if you want to go out during this period, please call Master Wang in advance. He will come and take you out. When I am done with this period, I will come back to accompany you. Or if you need anything, you can call me or Master Wang."
"It's okay. It's so cold outside right now. Just stay at home. Just tell me where the vegetable market is later."
"OK."
In this way, they arrived at Yanying Community. After the driver parked the car, he helped carry the luggage up. Gu Yi wanted to leave the other party to have a sip of tea, but the driver shook his head and said no, he had to add more gas to the car. .
Then left.
Mainly because he felt that Gu Yi's family had just arrived and they must have a lot to say here, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to stay here.
But before leaving, he still told his third uncle that if he wanted to go out later, he would call in advance and he would come and pick him up.
"Okay, your home is quite big. How many square meters is it?"
"More than one hundred and thirty, but this is an elevator room, so the shared area is also large."
"How much does it cost for more than one hundred and thirty?"
"It's quite expensive. It costs more than thirteen million."
The three uncles and three aunts were shocked when they heard this number.
"More than thirteen million for such a house? It's so expensive. With this kind of money, you can buy the best house in our county."
The better houses in Gu Yi's hometown in the county basically cost around 20,000 yuan, and 13 million would have to be the best villa in the county.
The kind that can also be used for decoration.
"Uncle, it's different here in Yanjing. You can only buy this kind of house with this money. I just want this place to be closer to our school. Didn't we just pass by our school? They are all next to each other. It’s convenient to go back and forth this way, and it’s not far from my studio.”
"How much does the most expensive house here cost?"
"The most expensive one is the courtyard house. It costs more than one hundred million. I can't afford it anyway."
One billion is simply a fantasy for ordinary people, and they cannot even dream of it.
Many people work hard in their lifetime but cannot earn 1 million.
The third uncle's family is a little better off, with land and fish ponds, and he can earn about 100,000 yuan a year. At least his family's life is not a problem.
But in fact, the three uncles, three aunts and grandma are used to living in the countryside. Otherwise, if they want, Gu Yi can help them buy a house in the county at any time, including those relatives. They all know that Gu Yi is rich, but basically No one in the world has asked Gu Yi to borrow it.
Only last year, the uncle's son got married and wanted to buy a house in the city, so he borrowed more than 300,000 from Gu Yi.
Although Gu Yi said at that time that the money did not need to be paid back, the uncle still insisted that his son work hard in the future and return the money to his cousin Gu Yi as soon as possible.
Gu Yi did not refuse, but he still spent additional money to buy a car worth more than 300,000 yuan as a gift for his cousin.
In fact, Gu Yi felt that he was very lucky to be able to travel through time and live in this kind of family. Although he was rich now, it was nothing to help his relatives.
I don't have the kind of relatives who are desperate. Even after so many years, no relative has asked Gu Yi to help their children find a job.
Everyone is self-reliant.
Therefore, Gu Yi would bring them a lot of things every time he went back.
The rooms prepared for uncle, aunt and grandma have been packed out.
Among the 4 bedrooms and 1 living room, Gu Yi and Yu Xue usually live in one, and one is where they usually make music, but the remaining two are guest rooms.
After settling in, Gu Yi took his uncle for a walk around the area.
I looked around at various supermarkets, wet markets, pharmacies, etc.
In the evening, Yu Xue also came over specially to have a meal with Gu Yi's family.
But when we were about to go back after dinner, the third aunt said that since everyone was here, it was not safe to go home at night. It was better to stay overnight and go to work together the next day.
Although a little embarrassed, Yu Xue still stayed.
In this way, early the next morning, they ate the breakfast that their aunt had cooked for them at home and then went directly to Yu Xue's parents.
In the past time, they have almost discussed the version of the symphony above the moon, and now they need to rehearse it together first.
And this time, their three-party band has a total of thirty-six people.
Neither Minle's nor Gu Yi's had such a big venue.
Only Yu Xue's parents' training class has a classroom that can accommodate so many people.
