Why are all the songs in Chapter 28 title tracks?
From reminiscing about "walking and stopping along the way", to lamenting "I was once overwhelmed by the vastness of the world", and then to the relief and courage to move forward with "let my heart lead me wherever it leads"... the melody rises and falls, and the emotions are full and progressive!
"The Wind Rises" truly deserves its reputation as the ultimate graduation season anthem, especially the original version with coupons for buying chili peppers, which perfectly captures the purest expression of youth.
Lu Ran could already imagine Xu Manlin's reaction after Shen Yuege's song was released; she would definitely be 'very happy'.
Having promised Shen Yuege yesterday, and fearing she would have to wait too long, Lu Ran logged into his Wanwan Jingting account directly.
Tomorrow: Sigh, I've finished organizing the songs, but I wonder if the person who wants them is still around.
Almost immediately after I sent it out tomorrow, they replied.
Shen Yuege: Here!
Lu Ran was taken aback. A reply at this hour? It seemed Shen Yuege hadn't returned to the company.
On the other hand, Shen Yuege did not return to the company; she is still at her and Lu Ran's villa.
Lu Ran's words yesterday made her think a little better. Rather than being tied up by the company, she might as well go all out and take a gamble.
So she spent the whole day waiting for tomorrow's message, and as soon as the message was sent, she quickly replied.
Tomorrow: "Didn't you go to work? Do you have time to listen to music now? I'll send it to you if you do."
Shen Yuege: "How did you know I wasn't at work? I'm free now, send it over and I'll take a look. If it's suitable, I'll take it."
Tomorrow: Okay, please accept.
Lu Ran sent all the songs he had just selected, except for "The Wind Rises," in one go.
Although Shen Yuege had high hopes for Tomorrow, she didn't expect every song to be a classic. After all, songs of such high quality as "The First Dream" are rare in the music industry, with only a few released each year.
Shen Yuege was somewhat disappointed when the other party sent her five or six songs in one go.
If the other party only releases one or two songs, or even just two or three songs, Shen Yuege still holds onto hope, as these songs are likely to be the last ones released tomorrow.
But releasing six songs at once is clearly just to appease her.
At this moment, Shen Yuege felt a sense of defeat again. It seemed that this time, she was going to lose to Xu Manlin completely.
When Shen Yuege clicked on the first song, "Ningxia," her expression instantly froze.
This upbeat intro sounds so nice...
"A peaceful summer day, the sky dotted with stars, a longing stirs in my heart, a longing for your face. I can pretend not to see, or I can secretly yearn for you, until I can touch your warm face. A peaceful summer day..."
The opening melody immediately captivated Shen Yuege, who realized that this was likely the song that Mingri had mentioned was no less impressive than "The First Dream".
The cicadas have fallen asleep, peacefully asleep, in my heart, a tranquil summer. The cicadas have fallen asleep, peacefully asleep, in my heart, a tranquil summer!
Unlike previous songs where the melody steadily climbed, the climax of this song is still a soft humming.
The song has a great overall atmosphere. Although it's only April, Shen Yuege feels like she's already in early summer.
Shen Yuege decided to keep the song and make it the title track of her new album, since she no longer needed to listen to the later melody.
Shen Yuege: "I want this song 'Ningxia'. I'm planning to use it as the title track for my new album. Name your price, is it a buyout or a revenue-sharing arrangement?"
Tomorrow: "Aren't you going to listen to what comes next?"
Shen Yuege: "No need to listen anymore. No matter how good the later songs are, this one is good enough to be the title track!"
Shen Yuege said with absolute certainty.
Three minutes later.
Perhaps only by giving up can I get closer to you; only by never seeing you again will you remember me. As time accumulates, the fruits of summer become the lonely fragrance of memories...
Shen Yuege: "I want 'The Fruits of Summer' too! This song gives me such a comfortable feeling. I want it to be the title track of my new album!"
Ten minutes later.
Shen Yuege broke down.
All of them are hit songs!
How come every song on Tomorrow is so good? Compared to the songs he sent, the songs I sang before were practically children's songs.
Now the question is, with so many options, which one is the most suitable as the title track?
Besides, do we really need to put so many good songs on the same album?
In the past, musicians, whether it was Shen Yuege or other singers, even established superstars, would not put all their best songs on one album.
Typically, an album consists of one main single, two decent songs, and a few average songs from the market.
This way, the value of the title track can be maximized, and the career can be developed in a longer period.
Shen Yuege also had such thoughts, but then shook her head.
This time, let's not even mention Xu Manlin's aggressive approach; Legendary Entertainment used both threats and inducements.
It's also her own battle to prove herself; she's determined to present all her best works.
Therefore, Shen Yuege decided to include all of these songs, and as for which one will be the main track, she will consider that later.
Seeing that Shen Yuege hadn't replied to his message for a long time, Lu Ran knew that these songs had moved her. He didn't send "The Wind Rises" as he had originally planned to.
With so many excellent songs, let her digest them first.
Tomorrow: "Are you there? Do you still want these songs? If not, I'll give them to someone else."
Upon seeing the news about tomorrow, Shen Yuege quickly snapped out of her shock.
Shen Yuege: "Yes! Yes! I want them all! You're my savior!"
Tomorrow: "Send the contract if you want it, just like last time."
Shen Yuege: "OK!"
After replying to Mingri, Shen Yuege immediately called Chen Jing.
"Hey, Sister Jing, I received the song! What? The company wants me to sign a contract today? Otherwise, all my resources will have to go to Weng Qingya? Hmm! Hmm! I'll call President Hu now!" Shen Yuege, who was about to share her joy, was interrupted by Chen Jing's message.
However, Shen Yuege now has the confidence she needs, and it's these songs that give her that confidence.
Shen Yuege dialed Hu Zhengming's number: "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, but I cannot accept the previous contract!"
On the other end of the phone, Hu Zhengming's face darkened immediately. He couldn't believe that a minor pop star would actually dare to go against him.
"Shen Yuege, you need to think this through. Without the company's resources and support, how far can you go on your own? Now that Xu Manlin is challenging you, everyone is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."
"Now, the company is your strongest support."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Hu." Shen Yuege's tone was calm, but her eyes were unusually firm. "But I believe that in the end, the path of music depends on the works themselves."
"As for resources..."
At this moment, Shen Yuege's gaze was firm:
"I believe that good works are the best resource in themselves."
