Be a superstar with your girlfriend

Chapter 127 "Insects Flying" for Xiaomi

night.

Coming out of the playground, Shu Hongming first sent the rice and millet home, and then hurried to the studio by car.

There are people on duty 24 hours a day in the studio, and the person on duty today is the Li Fangfang I met in the afternoon.

Seeing Shu Hongming open the door and coming in, Li Fangfang got up and said hello: "Teacher Da Shu, why are you here in the middle of the night..."

Shu Hongming smiled slightly: "I have to work overtime to be an accompanist... Is there anyone in the recording studio?"

"No, they all left just now."

"Hmm..." Shu Hongming frowned, looked at Li Fangfang twice, thought about Li Fangfang's voice just now, and asked, "How is your sense of music?"

"It's okay." Li Fangfang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Shu Hongming raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 12 o'clock in the evening: "Excuse me, can I trouble you to come over later and help me with the vocal harmony? Hmm...it may delay your rest..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Fangfang responded quickly, with a little excitement in her eyes.

"Then I'll call you later." Shu Hongming nodded and quickly entered the recording studio.

Turning on the computer, Shu Hongming was busy with other things for a while, and then wrote out the melody and lyrics of the new song, and then started to arrange and accompany the song busily - this song is really short, and the duration is only one hour. Within a minute and a half, there were only three kinds of musical instruments used, namely Yangqin, Guzheng and Xiao.

According to the melody in memory, Shu Hongming quickly made a similar sound, then walked out of the recording studio and greeted Li Fangfang.

Li Fangfang was almost dozing off, but when she heard Shu Hongming's voice, she immediately woke up and got up quickly.

The two entered the recording studio together. Shu Hongming handed the sheet music to Li Fangfang, and turned on the accompaniment of the finished instrument: "You should familiarize yourself with the melody first. We will start recording in 5 minutes."

"En." Li Fangfang nodded. In the recording studio, when the melody sounded, Li Fangfang also stared at the score and hummed along.

A few seconds later, Li Fangfang raised her head and said in surprise, "Mr. Dashu, is this...a nursery rhyme?"

"That's right, it's a nursery rhyme." Shu Hongming smiled, and found the bread and milk stored here from the cabinet in the recording studio, "Li Fangfang, do you want to eat something too?"

Shu Hongming was really hungry.

When Xiaomi came to see him in the afternoon, he hadn't eaten yet.

Later, I went to the playground. Although I also ate something, after playing for a long time, the food I ate had already been digested.

Li Fangfang said a few polite words, asked for a carton of milk, and continued to hum along with the melody: "This melody is so beautiful...well, it seems to be a kind of desolation, loneliness and sadness, but also childlike beauty. Looking at the lyrics , there is always a very desolate feeling. Is this song written for Rice?"

In the studio, Shu Hongming was called "Teacher Dashu", and Dami was called "Teacher Dami" and "Ms. Dami" at first, but later Dami felt that it was too awkward, so people called him "Dami". ——Speaking of which, Rice, who has just turned his age, is indeed the youngest in the entire studio.

Shu Hongming took a bite of the bread and smiled: "No, it's for Xiaomi."

While talking, Shu Hongming thought of the two sisters, Rice and Xiaomi, watching fireflies flying around at night, and finally scattered into the air.

"...I promised Xiaomi before that I would write a song for her. Tonight, I happened to have some inspiration, so I wrote it..." Shu Hongming paused, "Is this song nice?"

"It sounds good! This is an absolutely good song!" Li Fangfang nodded immediately, looking at Shu Hongming with admiration.

Just kidding!
The melody and lyrics are so beautiful, and nowadays, there are few nursery rhymes in the Daning Empire that are better than this one.

It is conceivable that after this song is released, it will soon become a hit.

Moreover, although this song is a nursery rhyme, the meaning contained in the lyrics is about love. I believe that many adults cannot resist the charm of this song——

Such an excellent song was just written by Shu Hongming to Xiaomi in order to fulfill his promise...

My boss is such a willful musical genius!

In a blink of an eye, 5 minutes passed.

Shu Hongming asked Li Fangfang to try humming first, and corrected a few out-of-tones. After Li Fangfang made no more mistakes, he asked Li Fangfang to enter the soundproof room and start recording.

Unknowingly, by the time Shu Hongming finished the accompaniment for Xiaomi's song, it was already three o'clock or four o'clock.

Moreover, this accompaniment was just made by Shu Hongming casually, and the effect can only be considered average.

If it is done according to the standards of Shu Hongming and Rice participating in "Best Partner", it will probably take two days to complete.

After finishing the accompaniment, Shu Hongming thought about it, and simply recorded a demo by himself.

Tomorrow daytime, he and Da Mi still have to go to Beijing Music Academy, and let Professor Ning give some pointers. It is estimated that it will be almost night to record songs for Xiaomi.

Now let’s make a demo first. During the day, let Xiaomi follow along and study hard. It will be easier when recording at night.

The sample is also done, and it's four o'clock.

It was too late, and Shu Hongming didn't bother to go home, so he went back to his own office lounge in the studio, rolled up a thin quilt, and fell asleep.

……

The next morning, Shu Hongming was falling asleep in a daze when he suddenly felt someone pushing him from behind.

Opening his eyes hazily, turning his head, Shu Hongming saw Rice sitting by the bed, with a strange expression on his face: "Why did you go to the studio to sleep here?"

Shu Hongming yawned: "I played an accompaniment in the recording studio last night."

"What accompaniment? Is it for the competition? You have prepared three alternative songs, which should be enough." Rice stood up and took a glass of water for Shu Hongming from the water dispenser—Shu Hongming prepared three songs for her. She has practiced the first candidate song several times, and each song is very nice and excellent.

At least, from a popular point of view, it is easy to be accepted.

Shu Hongming smiled: "It's not for the competition. Didn't you promise Xiaomi before that you want to give her a song? When I was playing in the water park last night, I got inspiration, and I worked overtime when I came back to make it."

"Then you don't have to rush like this." Dami felt distressed, and handed the water glass to Shu Hongming, thinking that Xiaomi would add to the chaos, "If this continues, you must be exhausted..."

"It's nothing. I'll finish it early today, and I'll make up for it after I get home and sleep." Shu Hongming took a sip of water and said casually.

"What song did you write for Xiaomi? Show me it."

"The score is on the table over there, and the accompaniment and sample are all in my phone. In the music player, the one that is ranked first."

Rice took the score, turned on the phone, and listened to it humming, feeling a little dazed.

Why does it feel like this song came to Dashu after watching the performance of releasing fireflies last night?
"Da Shu, this song is so beautiful, it's too wasteful for Xiaomi to sing it! Let me sing it!" Rice and Shu Hongming discussed.

Shu Hongming rolled his eyes: "That's a nursery rhyme. Don't say you stole Xiaomi's song, whether Xiaomi will fight with you, let's talk about the new songs I prepared for you, have you practiced them yet? Classmate Rice with big eyes and small belly?"

Rice was immediately discouraged, but she was still stubborn: "What's wrong with the nursery rhymes? The nursery rhymes are so simple, I like to sing nursery rhymes~"

"Are you still planning to sing nursery rhymes during the official competition?"

"Uh...forget it." Rice was stunned for a moment, remembering the unlucky couple who had a limited selection of songs in the second round of "Best Partner" last year-the couple were asked to write and sing a nursery rhyme. The hoarse-voiced rock and roll guy burst into tears on the spot...

After tidying up hastily, Shu Hongming and Da Mi hurried into the car and rushed to Jingyin Academy.

On the way, Shu Hongming made the car go around and went to the Xueyuan community first, gave the music score, accompaniment, and demo to Xiaomi, told Xiaomi about recording a song for her at night, and left in a hurry.

Waiting for Shu Hongming to leave, Xiaomi held the sheet music and listened to the new song, tears of joy swirled in his eyelids——

Dashu didn't forget about her, and really wrote a nice new song for her.

Dashu is so nice!

……

In the afternoon, it was already five o'clock when I left Professor Ning's house.

Shu Hongming and Da Mi drove back to the Xueyuan community first, picked up Xiaomi, and rushed to Shu Mi's studio.

In the car, Shu Hongming was dozing off, the two sisters were sitting together, and Da Mi handed Xiaomi the strawberries he bought on the side of the road just now: "Xiaomi, have you practiced the new song yet?"

"Practice is done!" Xiaomi waved his fist, and secretly glanced at Shu Hongming——

In order to practice her songs well, she even called Shu Hongming's studio and tricked a music assistant into teaching her.

Well, I hope Dashu won't know...

"Let's discuss it, okay? Let me sing this song for my sister, and I'll ask Dashu to write two more for you?"

"No! I'm going to sing this song!" Xiaomi glared at Rice, "This is a song Dashu wrote for me!"

The two sisters bickered and quickly arrived at the studio.

The three got out of the car, greeted the studio staff all the way, entered the recording studio, without Shu Hongming directing, Xiaomi walked into the soundproof room, sat down in front of the microphone, and was ready to record songs.

Shu Hongming, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Jia greeted each other, prepared the accompaniment tape, put their mouths in front of the microphone in the cell outside, and asked Xiaomi with a smile, "Xiaomi, are you ready?"

"Ready!" Xiaomi nodded heavily.

"Well, then let's play it first. You pay attention to the accompaniment, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

A few seconds later, in the recording studio, an ethereal and slightly sad accompaniment sounded.

Xiaomi listened carefully to the accompaniment, and when he got to the main song, his little mouth opened, his cute little face looked serious, and he sang softly:

"...The dark sky hangs down~ Bright stars follow each other~ Insects and insects are flying~Who are you missing..."

PS: I originally wanted to use "Firefly", but after thinking about it, I still think this song sounds better.
