The beautiful and nostalgic interlude melody ended, and Huang Da'an, with his signature “evil charm smile,” was the first to pick up the microphone.
“【Faded photos, old letters, and a discolored Christmas card.
The song I wrote for you when I was young, you’ve probably forgotten it by now.】”
The change in the main lyrics was not unexpected.
Teacher Su Yu’s lyrics and music were always very extravagant.
And Huang Da'an’s singing also made the group of people at Giant Shark look strange.
Every year at their Giant Shark annual meeting, they would have their artists and celebrities perform on stage.
They knew Huang Da'an’s level too well.
Which time wasn’t a car crash-level annual meeting stage?
But now? How did he suddenly seem like a different person!
This is not scientific at all!
Deng Yue’s singing followed closely, as if he didn’t want Huang Da'an to monopolize the spotlight.
“【Past vows are like the colorful bookmarks in that textbook.
They depict so many beautiful poems, but in the end, they are just a wisp of smoke.】”
Upon hearing this, lyricist Bai Duo was already a bit unable to control herself.
Because she loved the lyrics of this song too much.
And she, in her early forties, was a person of that era!
She had experienced every scene depicted in the lyrics.
She couldn't understand why Su Yu, a post-90s born in 1992, would know these things!
It seemed she needed to meet with Su Yu as soon as possible to have a good talk about songwriting.
Bai Duo felt that Su Yu could definitely help her stagnant songwriting state undergo a different transformation!
At this moment, the trio’s chorus came.
“【The flowing water carries away the story of time and changed three people, right in that sentimental and first tearful youth.】”
The lyrics here were modified relative to the original version of the song.
After all, it had to fit the movie “chinese partners.”
So, two people became three people.
But for the Blue Star audience hearing this song for the first time, they didn't know.
Just when everyone thought that after two verses and two choruses, it would be the final chorus grand finale, Deng Yue began singing the third verse!
“【The distant journey, yesterday’s dream, and the laughter that has gone.
When we meet again, how much journey have we endured?】”
This song is divided into three sections, each representing a process of growth.
Those who heard this far already understood this point.
Goodness, is writing a song always this complete?
Does it have to be this exaggerated?
Huang Da'an continued to follow up.
“【No longer the familiar self of old, with the old fervent dream.
Nor the familiar you of old, with the same smile.】”
When Huang Da'an, Deng Yue, and Tong Xiaocheng sang the chorus once again, for some reason, it gave people a very moving feeling!
“【The flowing water carries away the story of time and changed us, right in that sentimental and first reminiscent youth...】”
“I heard Xiao Yu found these three to make a movie? This song is also the movie’s theme song, so this movie should be very good, right?”
In the courtyard, Jiang Yu thoughtfully asked Han Jianhua.
“I haven’t read the script either, but don’t you trust Xiao Yu’s screenwriting skills? When the movie is released, we’ll just go watch it at our own cinema!”
Han Jianhua also felt a bit emotional.
His curiosity about this movie was also fully piqued at this moment.
It’s just a pity that this is the Spring Festival Gala stage, and Huang Da'an and the others couldn’t advertise “chinese partners.”
Otherwise, just saying that this song is the theme song of a movie written and directed by Su Yu would have an explosive effect!
No matter how much money is spent on promotion, can it compare to one advertisement on the Spring Festival Gala?
At this moment, Huang Da'an and the other two had already left the stage with smiles amidst the applause of the live audience.
This time, their Spring Festival Gala performance was undoubtedly a success.
Sure enough, at this time, CCTV-1’s viewership rating had another slight increase, quietly breaking through 15.
And the total viewership rating also reached 32.57, surpassing last year’s average viewership rating.
Not long after, Huang Da'an and the other two came to report to Su Yu.
They had nothing else to do after this; after removing their makeup, they would go home.
Moreover, they still had to go to the United States for filming on the third day of the lunar new year, so they really didn’t have much time left.
“Teacher Su Yu, if reporters ask about the song, can we directly promote the movie?”
Huang Da'an was the first to ask.
If they didn’t promote the new movie with such a good opportunity, it would truly be a waste!
“It’s about time, the movie news can be released. Our movie will be released around April, so just answer the reporters’ questions as you see fit.”
Su Yu replied.
Huang Da'an and the other two were experienced veterans and naturally wouldn’t speak nonsense mindlessly.
And even without promotional text, Su Yu believed they could handle it very well.
“I’ve been eager to promote it for a long time! Oh, by the way, Teacher Su Yu, can we talk about our two studios being affiliated with Tianxing Entertainment?”
Deng Yue asked excitedly, posing the question that he and Tong Xiaocheng were both concerned about.
Their two studios, as well as those of Gao Bo, Xu Lang, and Wang Bao, were currently affiliated with Tianxing Entertainment, but this news had not been announced yet.
So they wanted to use this huge exposure opportunity from the Spring Festival Gala to make a big splash.
“If reporters don’t ask, then don’t say anything. There’s no need to make it known to everyone.” Su Yu replied.
He felt that when these three left later, if they just revealed the news of “chinese partners,” then he, as the movie’s screenwriter and director, would not be able to leave safely after the Spring Festival Gala tonight.
Ten high-profile songs, plus the super big news of him crossing over to become a movie director.
Which reporter would miss the opportunity to interview him?
However, this day would come sooner or later, and he wasn’t worried about anything.
After Huang Da'an and the other two received the desired answer from Su Yu, they all left with smiles.
Because they were increasingly confident that the movie “chinese partners” would be a big hit.
Plus, they had all invested their acting fees into the movie, so if the movie exploded, they would truly gain both fame and fortune!
To avoid making Tong Xiaocheng feel unfairly treated, Su Yu had also asked for Tong Xiaocheng’s opinion when signing the contract with Huang Da'an.
When he heard that Huang Da'an and Deng Yue both didn't want acting fees but instead exchanged them for investment shares, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to only take those paltry few million.
He felt that these two were more shrewd than him, and following smart people’s choices should not lead to major mistakes.
At worst, the acting fee money he invested, if the movie lost money, could still be partially returned at a discount.
It would be as if he played for free, and just made friends with Su Yu, this talented lyricist and composer.
He felt that Huang Da'an and Deng Yue were actually also harboring this thought!
However, as the movie was filmed, Tong Xiaocheng increasingly felt that they were actually the ones profiting!
This was truly amazing...
