Chapter 234 Researching Mu Liang

At noon, Wu Yues cooking skills were actually very good. The little ones enjoyed their meal happily, picking up rice and getting rice grains all over their faces. Then they looked at each other and giggled at each others messy appearance.

After finis.h.i.+ng their meal, the little ones left their bowls and chopsticks and ran to the living room to play, while the adults continued to eat slowly, watching the playful little ones and chatting.

After learning some cooking tips from Yang Yi, Wu Yue couldnt help but become curious and said, Yang Yi, where are you from? How come you can cook dishes from everywhere? And from your accent, I cant tell where youre from.

Um Yang Yi was in a daze for a moment before he smiled and said, Im from Anqing, but I went to the Southwest to serve as a soldier very early, and after retiring, Ive been traveling around. My accent got mixed up long ago, so its hard to tell where Im from. As for being able to cook so many dishes, of course, I learned it from eating and drinking all over the place over the years.

In that moment when he was in a daze, he remembered his hometown. The hometown of this body was a poor mountain village in Peiguo County, Peijun City, Anqing Province. His predecessor didnt go home for two or three years because he didnt do well after retiring and didnt have the face to see his hometown elders. He would only make phone calls to greet them during holidays and send the little money he saved back home through frugal living

Yang Yi was now rich and promising, but he has no intention of going home. After all, he wasnt really Yang Yi, and he didnt know how to face the parents, brothers and sisters of this body!

Out of a sense of compensation, Yang Yi had been sending money to his family, thousands or tens of thousands, but he wouldnt give too much at once. It wasnt that he was stingy, but mainly because his predecessor didnt give much either. If he suddenly sent hundreds of thousands, the parents and fellow villagers in that poor small mountain village would probably be scared and worry about him more, right?

A small stream flows long1, Yang Yi felt that this matter should be approached patiently and gradually.

By the way, speaking of accents, Yang Guo, youre from Guangdong Province, right? And Wu Yue, I can tell youre also from Guangdong Province. How did both of you end up working in Jiangnan? Yang Yi asked them to change the topic.

Yeah, were from Guangdong Province, but because I was recruited by a university in Jiangcheng, Wu Yue had to make some sacrifices and resigned from her job to come to Jiangcheng with me. Its like starting anew. Yang Guo said affectionately, patting Wu Yues hand beside him and said.

Wu Yue smiled generously and said, Yang Guo has a Ph.D. degree and has become a university professor. Since I havent attended college, its only natural for me to follow the teacher.

Not having attended college, so what? Yang Yi smiled. I havent attended college either. I didnt even finish high school before joining the army.

Right, I also said it doesnt matter. Education doesnt represent everything, but she still cares a little bit in her heart. Yang Guo gave Wu Yue a doting look and explained to Yang Yi, Moreover, Wu Yue had the opportunity to go to college. Its just that shes an orphan and had to give up the acceptance letter to start working early in order to make a living.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi couldnt help but tremble.

Although this body has parents, in his previous life, he was indeed an orphan. After learning about Wu Yues background, Yang Yi inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to her.

Of course, he didnt mean anything else and concealed this emotion.

Wu Yue didnt want to continue on this topic and scolded, Alright, enough about me. Yang Yi, last time Yang Guo mentioned that you write novels

After rescheduling, Mo Fei finally met Jin Yingming. Due to spending too much time dealing with conflicts at the company earlier, Mo Fei didnt plan to rest this weekend and continued recording songs.

Sorry, Teacher Jin, for delaying your weekend reunion with your daughter, Mo Fei knew that the company had only made new plans before and did not tell Jin Yingming, so she didnt intend to tell him about the twists and turns behind it.

However, although Mo Fei didnt say anything, Jin Yingming could still vaguely sense it. After all, he was much older than Mo Fei and had experienced the real storms in the entertainment industry.

But smart people dont voice their suspicions. As long as the outcome is good, he continued to sit dignifiedly as usual and smiled, It doesnt matter. During this time, I carefully studied all the works of Mr. Mu Liang and gained some insights.

Oh? Teacher Jin, please share, Mo Fei became interested.

I have found that there are two completely different styles of arrangement in Mu Liangs current works. One is extremely minimalist, like Long Time No See. For that song, Mr. Mu Liang only used piano and violin for the arrangement. The other style, like The First Dream, incorporates more complex instruments. In addition to the rich electronic sounds of the synthesizer, there are also instruments such as drums added. Jin Yingming said.

Mo Fei nodded lightly. She had listened carefully to all these songs and could naturally distinguish them.

Then I had a bold imagination. Could it be that in Mr. Mu Liangs songs, the female vocals tend to be more colorful, while the male vocals prefer to be interpreted with simple instruments? Jin Yingming excitedly arranged tea cups on the table as if deploying troops.

Mo Fei raised an objection to this: Teacher Jin, what about Across the Ocean to See You? The accompaniment for this song is mainly done with the guitar, and also You Exist in My Song, the accompaniment for this song is also simple, with piano arrangement.

Yes, the question you brought up is very interesting! Jin Yingming excitedly took out two cups and moved one from the side with more cups to the side with fewer cups. Then he continued, I made a bold a.s.sumption: Could it be that Mr. Mu Liang originally wrote Across the Ocean to See You and You Exist in My Song for male singers?

Purely a.n.a.lyzing from the lyrics, these two songs do not have obvious gender indicators. Then I tried them in my own recording studio and found that these songs also have their charm when sung by male vocalists, Jin Yingming smiled widely as if he had discovered a new world. Of course, my singing is average, and I need to lower the key.

So, Im thinking that when Mr. Mu Liang wrote these two songs, he might have done so from a male perspective. But unexpectedly, he found that these two songs were more suitable for you, Mo Fei, to sing, so he made changes to the arrangement behind the scenes, Jin Yingming said with some regret. Unfortunately, this is just my personal speculation. If I could have a face-to-face conversation with Mr. Mu Liang, I would really want to discuss it with him.

Although this research didnt have any particularly significant meaning, for someone like Jin Yingming who was pa.s.sionate about music, it was no less than playing a puzzle-solving game in an escape room.

There will be opportunities in the future. Although Mr. Mu Liang hides his ident.i.ty, he is still in Jiangcheng. Who knows, Teacher Jin, you might have a chance to meet him someday! Mo Fei could only comfort Jin Yingming.

Its nothing. I just hope that Mr. Mu Liang will produce more works so that I can have more material for research, Jin Yingming laughed heartily. Sorry for blabbering so much. Lets start working quickly!
