After buying the old oil well, all subsequent matters were handed over to the second brother Gu Xi. Yuan Qiaoqiao left New Orleans and went to Durham, North Carolina, where her first cousin Gu? Depart and return directly to your country.
When she got home, she took out the gifts she had brought back from the United States for her family, showed the photos she took with Gu Xi and Gu Yu to her family, and briefly mentioned her purchase of the old oil well to her family After a short stay at home for two days, he returned to the imperial capital.
Unlike when she talked about the old oil well with her family and just mentioned it briefly, when she told her aunt, she was much more detailed. As expected, she got a lot of complaints. But the deal was done. Although Gu Huxin felt that Yuan Qiaoqiao was fooling around and wasting money, she still took the matter over.
This trip to the United States, Yuan Qiaoqiao didn't want to mention it to the public, so she didn't buy anything to maintain interpersonal relationships. She only brought gifts to family and friends. Unfortunately, except for the Huang family's share, the rest, whether it was Xing's or Xing's, was Jing Yi, Da Zhang Xun, or Liu Ye were not in the imperial capital, so she could only keep the gifts for them for a while.

At Tianxing Company, Yuan Qiaoqiao took a look at the two songs handed over by Teacher Wang, and asked with a little doubt: "Teacher Wang, what does this mean? Is the company planning to release a single for me? Since it is a single , why did you give me two songs? Are you planning to release two singles for me?"
"You have a wonderful idea, how is it possible?" Teacher Wang raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and rejected her words, "These two songs were carefully selected by the company and they think they are suitable for you to sing.
It was originally supposed to be one song, but because each of these two songs has its own supporters, after discussion, the company decided to take them both and let you sing them to feel which one has more feeling or which one sings better. , just use which one. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao hesitated and said: "It seems that the new singers signed by the company have not released singles yet, right? The contract I signed with the company does not require the release of singles or albums. If the company releases a single for me, They might be unhappy?"
Teacher Wang looked at her in surprise with an expression like "You are a fool." He cursed in his heart that she said such innocent words without being brutally beaten by society. He sneered and said, "It doesn't matter whether other singers are happy or not." What's the matter with you? It's important to take care of yourself. You haven't stood firm yet, and you still have time to worry about others!
You have a contract with people in the company, but they don¡¯t know about it. Besides, what if they know about it?
The reason why the company decided to send you a single is because although the song "Youth" you sang during the Spring Festival Gala was not as popular as the song "Go Home Often", it was still quite popular.
Don¡¯t look at the fact that your song lost to ¡°Go Home Often¡± in the ¡°First Prize for Favorite Spring Festival Gala Song of 1999¡± voted by the audience. In fact, it was only a few votes short.
You may not have noticed that the songs played in the streets and alleys nowadays are basically covered by the two songs "Go Home and See Often" and "Youth", and "Youth" is no more popular than "Go Home and See" ¡·low, even among young people, the popularity is higher.
The first prize for last year's Spring Festival Gala song was not the song "Meet in 1998", but who can say that it is not popular? "
Yuan Qiaoqiao understood what the company meant. It was similar to the way later generations cut leeks when the popularity of traffic was high, so she answered: "So, the company plans to take advantage of this popularity to release a single for me to test the market?"
"Um."
Thinking of her worry just now because she was worried about the dissatisfaction of other singers, Teacher Wang explained: "Don't be burdened in your heart. Although the company provided you with the Spring Festival Gala stage, if it weren't for the songs you came up with, I'm afraid you wouldn't be where you are now." So, to paraphrase the words in the lyrics, military medals are half of the company¡¯s and half of yours.¡±
Pointing to the song in her hand, he added: "Take a look at the two songs "Young Heart" and "Shining Days" and try singing them to find out how you feel. If you feel it is not suitable, mention it as soon as possible. It is so convenient. The company helps you find the songs. Of course, if you can provide the songs yourself, that¡¯s no problem.¡±
When she took out the two songs "Youth" and "Young China", Yuan Qiaoqiao had already considered the future. After hearing what he said, she hurriedly shook her head: "Let's forget it. I took out the songs before Those two songs were just a flash of inspiration, and they were made on the shoulders of two big figures, *** and Liang Qichao.
In fact, many people in the industry can do this, but before, everyone was original and didn¡¯t think about it. And I am not pioneering in this regard. Many of the songs in Aunt Qiong Jue¡¯s film and television dramas are adapted from ancient poems. "
When Yuan Qiaoqiao came up with the song years ago, she had already laid the foundation; Teacher Wang also knew that good songs are hard to come by, but she just mentioned it casually. Seeing her say it again this time, she didn¡¯tAsk for more.
Looking at "Young Heart" and "Shining Days" in his hand, Yuan Qiaoqiao raised his head and said, "Teacher Wang, can you let me meet the songwriters of these two songs? It doesn't have to be face to face, even if we communicate on the phone That¡¯s okay too. I want to hear their creative process, which will be more helpful for me to interpret the song when I sing.¡±
Teacher Wang knew that many singers have quirks in singing, so he was not surprised by her request and refused with a smile: "Logically speaking, your request is not difficult, but these two songs are old songs, and the songwriters We are all from Taiwan, and our company has almost no relationship with them there, so we cannot meet your request."
"It's an old song, the company wants me to cover it?"
"Yes." Teacher Wang explained hurriedly: "The company has been collecting songs, but as you know, good songs are hard to come by. The company is not satisfied with the songs invited from several co-writers, and they want to take advantage of your popularity. At that time, I released the single as soon as possible. Therefore, if I can't wait for the new song, I can only let you cover it.
In fact, don¡¯t worry too much about whether it¡¯s a cover. For example, ¡°A Fire in Winter¡± sung by Fei Xiang on the Spring Festival Gala is a cover of Taiwanese singer Gao Lingfeng, and ¡°Clouds of Hometown¡± is a cover of a lesser-known Taiwanese singer. Wen Zhang's; Dick Cowboy's masterpiece, "How Much Love Can Come Again" was a cover of Huang Zhongkun's; and Chen Hong's "Go Home Often" sung in the Spring Festival Gala was originally sung by a man named Geng Ning Little singer; Such examples abound in the industry.
So, it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s a new song or an old song.
And you don¡¯t have to worry, covers of songs that have already become popular will not be recognized by the audience. For example, after Suri became famous with the song "Look Back", Jiang Yuheng sang it and made it his masterpiece; and The song "The Sound of Fei Mi Mi" released by Wang Fei in 1995 was all covers of Deng Lijun's songs, and it was well received. "
¡°Then who is the original singer of these two songs of mine?¡±
"This song "Young Heart" is a song from the first album released by a Taiwanese group called "Flying Eagle Sanshu" in the 1980s; this song "Shining Days" is a song that was originally well-known in Taiwan. The song by singer Liu Wenzheng is from the movie and album of the same name released in the late 1970s.
I don¡¯t recommend that you listen to the original singer, because you are not yet a mature singer who has established your own style. If you listen to the original song, you will probably be led astray.
As a good and qualified singer, the first thing you need to do is to have your own unique way of singing.
To be honest, your voice condition is not very good, but your voice recognition is very high, and the way you sing is very memorable, especially the articulation and rhyme return are very unique and unconventional, which makes your accent The way is natural and beautiful, which is most important for a singer to stand out.
In the industry, there are too many average voices like yours, so having characteristics is the key. Otherwise, even if you can sing a flower, in the public's ears, the sound will be the same, and they can't tell who you are, so what's the use?
Therefore, as a singer, it is important to maintain your own characteristics.
The key point of cover singing lies in the word "translate". It is necessary to sing with new ideas. The reason why the princess's album, which was all covers of Deng Lijun, won recognition in and outside the circle is because she gave these classic old songs a new meaning. A strong novelty. Therefore, don¡¯t worry about how others sing, just sing your own way. "
Because of his words, Yuan Qiaoqiao completely gave up the idea of ??listening to the original song.

Originally, Yuan Qiaoqiao's daily diet was relatively light. After knowing that the company was going to release a single for her, Zhu Guiyun refused to let her eat any spicy food that would affect her throat.
To this end, she went to the bookstore and bought a few medicinal recipes, and then from time to time, she would make a pot of soup to relieve phlegm and moisturize the lungs for her to drink.
Zhu Guiyun came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and put it in the hand of Yuan Qiaoqiao who was working on the question. "Qiaoqiao, haven't you finished writing yet? If you haven't finished writing, stop for a moment and put this bowl of Sichuan clams, snow pear and pork first. Drink the lung soup and then continue."
"Wait a minute, I'll be ready soon." Yuan Qiaoqiao finished writing the solution to the last big question on the math test paper at hand, put down the pen, washed her hands, picked up the bowl and drank the soup, and while drinking, she said: "Mom, you will still be the best in the future. Don't come back buying pig lungs. Buy something simple and easy to get. This stuff is too dirty and it's too troublesome to clean up."
Zhu Guiyun, who was using tweezers to select duck feathers from the duck, said nonchalantly when he heard this: "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of washing it with more water a few times. You can eat yours, so you don't have to worry about it."
Yuan Qiaoqiao put down the bowl in her hand, walked over, hugged her, kissed her left cheek, and said with a smile: "Mom, you are so kind."
"What the hell are you doing? You scared me." Zhu Guiyun smiled and pushed her away, wiping the spot on his face where she had just kissed him in disgust, "By the way, I filled your thermos cup with loquat leaf candied date water this time. , when you leave later, remember to take it with you."
