Chen Ming was busy preparing for the Guofeng Hall.
to be honest,
Chen Ming originally planned to postpone the establishment of Guofeng Tang until after the Chinese New Year. After all, he wanted to have a good rest before the Chinese New Year.
But once he rested, Chen Ming felt bored and empty.
After thinking about it,
Chen Ming made a phone call to Zhou Yike, and then left Su's house with his notebook.
Kyoto, Summer Palace.
Mr. Cai Yiqing's home is here.
Chen Ming and Zhou can also make an appointment to meet at the home of Mr. Cai Yiqing.
"You can also do it Zhou."
Chen Ming saw Zhou Yike standing outside the Yihejiayuan Community at a glance, with a cold expression on his face, as if someone owed him money.
Chen Ming is used to it.
Zhou Yike looked at Chen Ming, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "I thought your Guofeng Hall would not be until the end of the year, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious."
Chen Ming smiled awkwardly: "Let's finish some things first while there is nothing to do. Otherwise, after the New Year, there will still be a lot of things to be busy with."
Zhou Yike nodded and led Chen Ming into the community.
On the way to Mr. Cai Yiqing's house, Zhou Yike briefly introduced Chen Ming to Cai Yiqing's family situation.
Cai Yiqing has no children.
But he had three apprentices, and Zhou Yi was the youngest.
The first two apprentices have been apprentices for many years, and Zhou Yike has never seen them working hard in other cities.
so,
Mr. Cai Yiqing's home is very deserted.
In our traditional words, he is a lonely old man!
Because of this,
Zhou Yike has been living with Mr. Cai Yiqing these days, spending time with the old man to relieve his boredom.
Chen Ming understood clearly.
It seems that Mr. Cai Yiqing's life is not very good. In the eyes of outsiders, Cai Yiqing is a master of ancient songs and a well-known celebrity.
But in fact, his old life was very lonely.
The two came to a secluded gate. The structure of the community here was very different from that of ordinary communities.
No tall buildings rise;
No city noise.
seem,
This is a retirement community specially built for the elderly. Each house has its own courtyard, which is equivalent to a small courtyard.
"Teacher, Chen Ming is here."
Zhou Yike walked to Cai Yiqing's side and whispered.
Chen Ming looked along and saw Cai Yiqing lying in a rocking chair in the courtyard. There was an old-fashioned tape recorder on the stool next to him, playing some unknown songs.
Seeing this, Chen Ming also took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, I'm here to visit you today."
Cai Yiqing seemed to be asleep.
Zhou Yike and Chen Ming's words did not make him raise his eyelids.
Zhou Yike was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Chen Ming, please sit down for a while. The teacher will probably wake up soon."
After saying that,
Zhou can also start preparing today's lunch.
After a long time, the smell of rice came from the kitchen. Cai Yiqing's nose twitched slightly and murmured: "If there is something delicious, remember to stew a few chicken legs."
In the kitchen, Zhou Yike responded.
Chen Ming was slightly surprised that Zhou Yike could actually cook, and judging from the smell, it seemed to be very fragrant...
At this moment,
Cai Yiqing finally opened his eyes and saw Chen Ming.
"Boy Chen, when did you come?"
Cai Yiqing was a little surprised and surprised. He didn't expect Chen Ming to come to his house.
Chen Ming smiled and said: "I'm here to visit you and discuss matters about Guofeng Hall."
"Let's eat and chat over there."
Cai Yiqing wanted to sit up, but Chen Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Not long after,
One dish after another was served to the table by Zhou Yike.
Chen Ming wanted to help, but was kicked out by Zhou Yike. The reason given was very real: he felt that Chen Ming's cooking was not as delicious as his cooking.
You are right and you are awesome!
Chen Ming accompanied Cai Yiqing obediently, and during the period they talked a lot about ancient songs.
The smile on Cai Yiqing's face never stopped.
The three of them were sitting in the courtyard, and the aroma of the food wafted far away.
"Old man, I have a general idea about the early development of Guofengtang. Please listen to it."
Chen Ming just chatted like La Jia Chang.
Cai Yiqing and Zhou Yike both looked at Chen Ming and couldn't help but put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.
Chen Ming said seriously: "I plan to use "囍" as the lead single and launch a series of albums called Jiu Si."
Hearing this, Cai Yiqing nodded in agreement: "Yes, the influence of "囍" is indeed higher than your other two ancient songs."
"The genre of this album tends to be dark and scary. Since you want to gain fame in the early stages, the number of songs in your album cannot be small."
"Can you create so many songs of the same genre?"
This is Cai Yiqing's biggest concern.
The song "囍" is already a very surprising creation, and it cleverly uses the suona instrument, which leaves a deep impression on people.
However, ancient songs are never unpopular, and this dark style of music is even more unpopular, which tests the originality of the creator.
Although Chen Ming's creative ability is very strong, this is really difficult.
Zhou Yike also said worriedly: "Ancient style songs will test your music library. If you are not completely sure, it is best to be more stable first."
If it is a traditional ancient style song, Cai Yiqing and Zhou Yike can also help compose a few songs.
But obviously,
The ancient songs in the Jiu Si album are not traditional ancient songs.
Chen Ming seemed very confident: "Don't worry, I have been thinking about creation since the celebration, and I already have several song creation ideas."
"How many songs are they specifically?"
"In addition to "囍", there are three more songs."
Hearing the words,
Cai Yiqing pondered slightly, the first four songs were barely enough to gain fame.
"What about "Chi Ling" and "Ci Jiu Men Memories"?" Cai Yiqing himself is more interested in opera and drama.
As I get older, I become less timid.
He was afraid that if he listened to "囍" too much, he would have nightmares at night.
Chen Ming looked at Zhou Yike: "If the effect of the old sacrifice is good, then I will immediately write a song about drama for Zhou Yike."
"Zhou Yike, you need to work more on your drama."
Zhou Yike frowned slightly: "Why don't you sing it yourself?"
It's not that Zhou Yike is unwilling to sing, but that Chen Ming has studied professional drama with Guo Dalei for a period of time and should be better than him in this aspect.
"I don't have time."
Chen Ming said frankly.
After the Guofeng Tang was established, Chen Ming could be responsible for singing a few more of the four dark ancient-style songs in the early stage, or he could give one or two to Zhou Yi to sing.
The two of them worked together to complete it!
If he releases a new song later, Chen Ming will probably be busy with the filming of "Old Nine Gates" at that time.
and,
Chen Ming also plans to make his second suspense film after "The Tuner".
That movie also made Chen Ming miss it for a long time.
Chen Ming is very busy.
so,
Chen Mingcai thought of establishing Guofengtang, and La Zhou could also join in to cooperate.
There are many songs that Chen Ming himself has no time to sing, so there is no need to hide them in his hands. When it is time to take them out for others to sing, he should be more generous.
Zhou Yike looked at Chen Ming's serious expression and nodded gently: "Okay, I will learn professional drama."
Letting Zhou Yike learn opera is just the first step. Chen Ming has more important tasks for him in the future.
