Chapter 524: Fu Shou Palace

"It's not difficult, just say it. No one can predict such things. What if I can write a song for you in just half a day today?" Lin Xiangyu made a promise to Lin Yoona.

"Is this true? You can write a song in just half a day?"

Lin Yuna looked at Lin Xiangyu with suspicion and said.

Yoona is not the kind of idol who knows nothing.

After all, she has been in the industry for so many years.

I also have some understanding of music theory.

Is there anyone who can really write a song in half a day?
“As long as we can decide on the general melody, the rest will be easy.” Lin Xiangyu replied.

“Have you always written songs like this?”

"correct."

"Those songs you wrote for Hyo Joo and Sooyeon were all written when you were with them?" Lin Yoona asked curiously.

Lin Xiangyu has written a total of five songs so far.

Lin Xiangyu wrote two songs for Han Hyo Joo: "I Want to See You, I Want to See You, I Want to See You" and "Press Fifth to Type Cuteness in the Input Method".

Wrote a song for Jessica Jung: "Eyes, Nose, Mouth"

Then there is another song called "Growing Up with a Weight of 10,000 Pounds", which was written for the movie "The Crucible".

Lin Xiangyu thought about it carefully.

"Some are, some aren't."

"What do you mean by some are and some are not?"

"The theme songs 'Eyes, Nose, Mouth' and 'Growing Up with a Weight of 10,000 Jin', which were from the movie that I collaborated with Hyo Joo, were written based on inspiration, while the others were written based on accumulation of experience over time," Lin Xiangyu explained.

“So, was the song “Eyes, Nose, and Mouth” written for Sooyeon?”

Lin Yoona was very curious about this matter.

Jessica Jung said that this was written for her by Lim Sang-woo.

But the one singing was herself.

Moreover, it was an OST for a movie starring Lim Sang-woo and Han Hyo-joo, which was totally different from the ones that Lim Sang-woo wrote for Han Hyo-joo and sang by himself.

“It’s for her.”

"Then why was it made into a movie OST?"

"Do you think that song doesn't match the movie 'Only You'?" Lin Xiangyu asked Lin Yuna.

"It seems. All right?"

"That's it, since it's suitable, we just use it. The other songs just don't have any suitable movies to use them in." Lin Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Oh."

"So, where are we going?"

"go home."

"go home?"

"Yes, go home and get your guitar, and then look for inspiration. As for where to go later, it's up to you. We'll go wherever you want to go."

Lin Xiangyu answered while driving.

When Lin Yoona heard what Lin Xiangyu said, she picked up her mobile phone and looked for the news she saw in the morning.

"How about we go to Deoksugung? I heard the maple trees along the stone wall path at Deoksugung are beautiful."

Lin Yoona just saw the photo of Deoksugung Stone Wall Road on the news. The maple leaf street in the photo deeply attracted Lin Yoona.

"As long as you want to go, I can go."

Lin Xiangyu agreed without any hesitation.

"Then let's go here."

Lin Yuna directly decided on the place.

"it is good."

Lin Xiangyu drove Lin Yoona back home first and put his guitar on his back.

Lin Xiangyu actually knows how to play two musical instruments.

Guitar and piano.

Although he only knows how to play these two instruments, Lin Xiangyu is very good at both of them.

Almost all the songs I write are composed with these two instruments.

Carry your guitar.

Lin Xiangyu drove with Lin Yuner to Deoksugung Palace.

Deoksugung Palace was originally the residence of Wolsan, the elder brother of King Seongjong of Joseon. After the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, King Seonjo of Joseon moved here and called it "Jeongneung-dong Haenggung Palace". After King Gwanghaegun ascended the throne, it was renamed "Gyeongung Palace", thus giving it the appearance of a royal palace.

In 1897, Gojong of Joseon declared the establishment of the Korean Empire here. Gyeongungung became the imperial palace of the Korean Empire. After Gojong was forced to abdicate in 1907, it was renamed "Deoksugung".

Deoksugung Palace is the only palace in Seoul that combines Chinese and Western styles. It covers an area of ​​18 square meters and contains the main halls Junghwajeon, Gwangmyeongmun, Seogudang, Junmyeongdang, and Jijodang, as well as the king's bedroom - Hamnyeongjeon, Deokhongjeon where Gojong received domestic and foreign dignitaries, and the place where Gojong enjoyed music. There are also the Palace Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall and the Deoksugung Art Museum in Deoksugung Palace.

Looking at the exaggerated introduction, based on Lin Xiangyu's understanding of the history of the peninsula, he guessed that it was just another low-profile version of an ancient Chinese building.

He has seen this situation many times.

When Lin Xiangyu was a child, he was actually very curious about why there were so many Chinese people on the peninsula.

Even everyone on the peninsula has their Chinese names on their ID cards.

We are clearly on the peninsula, so why are there so many Chinese words?
Later, as he learned more about history, Lin Xiangyu learned that the peninsula was once a vassal state of the neighboring big country.

Many things were gifts from the big country next door.

The neighboring big country was once admired by the peninsula, so many buildings here are written in Chinese.

Even many older people on the peninsula still understand Chinese.

It’s just that ever since Peninsula changed its name from Hancheng to Seoul, Peninsula has wanted to de-Sinicize itself and deny all its previous history.

They can deny it, but the Chinese characters on their ancient buildings will exist forever.

Lim Sang-woo has never been to Deoksugung Palace.

The main reason is that he is not very interested in the ancient buildings here.

There is nothing here, what is there to see?

If you have this free time, you might as well go to China for a visit.

That place actually has thousands of years of history and culture.

to the place.

There are quite a few people in Deoksugung Palace.

Most people wore masks.

Lin Xiangyu thought about it and decided to leave his guitar in the car.

It is indeed a bit too conspicuous to walk around with a guitar on your back.

"Aren't you looking for inspiration? Why did you put your guitar down again?"

Lin Yuna noticed Lin Xiangyu's actions and asked.

"If you are not afraid of us being recognized, I can also carry the guitar on my back." Lin Xiangyu replied.

When Lin Yoona heard what Lin Xiangyu said, she also realized that it was indeed a bit conspicuous to walk around here with a guitar on her back. She stuck out her tongue playfully, put on a mask and a hat, and got out of the car.

Lin Xiangyu also put on a mask and a hat.

Wearing masks and hats is not uncommon at this time of winter.

Most people do this to keep warm.

After getting off the car, Lin Xiangyu held Lin Yuner's hand and they walked inside.

"Huh? Why is it different from what was reported in the news? Why are they all bald?"

Lin Yoona was stunned when she saw the bare maple trees on both sides of the stone wall road of Bokshou Palace.

"I'm afraid the photos you're looking at aren't from the past. Maple leaves usually start to fall around December, and it's already February now."

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile.

When Lin Yoona heard what Lin Xiangyu said, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the news again.
