Chapter 185: Adaptation
Ye Weiyang heard a song in his previous life, which was sung by Leehom and Huang Mingzhi, and the song was called "Floating to the North".
The general content of this song is a comfort song written for the Beijing-based migrant group.
Originally, Ye Weiyang thought that singing this song was quite suitable for the New Year’s Eve. After all, the end of the year is approaching, and the wanderers who are wandering in Yanjing City are also homesick, and it is quite appropriate to sing this song for them.
But, he thought about it carefully just now. Since the New Year's Eve concert is for all audiences, how can he only give special comfort to the "Beijing drifting" group?
In the lyrics of the original song, it is almost not easy for the group of people who are drifting in Beijing, but it is not the only one who works in a different place when I leave my hometown in China.
Every year, countless people flock to the Pearl River Delta to seek a job, and countless people work hard at the Beijing-Tianjin Wing Center.
Every year, the number of migrant populations in the country reaches hundreds of millions, and they are all working hard in other places. These people cannot be ignored.
So Ye Weiyang was wondering whether he could refilming the lyrics of "Floating to the North" and changing them to "Floating to the Distance", which might be more suitable for New Year's Eve concerts.
This led to a conversation between him and Wu Dawei just now.
Now, he was not satisfied with only collecting the ideas of northerners living in the south, and also needed first-hand information from southerners who were wandering in the north, so he posted that Weibo.
Less than a minute after the Weibo post was posted, the number of comments exceeded 100.
With Ye Weiyang's personal Weibo account now having more than 4 million followers, it is not surprising that he can get such a quick response.
However, Ye Weiyang has not asked the company. Among the more than four million followers, how many fans were bought were because he was afraid that he would not be so happy after asking.
"I am from Cantonese, a fellow villager of Teacher Ye. I am now working in Yanjing City. Even though this is my second year of living in Beijing, I am still not used to it."
"The wind here is too dry, and there is sand, and I often have nosebleeds in the morning."
"And I can't eat roasted braised meat, nor can I drink the authentic soup from our Cantonese."
"People here love to listen to crosstalk, but I don't understand at all."
"My Mandarin is often ridiculed, saying that I can't speak Erhua pronunciation. I still can't tell which characters should be added with Erhua pronunciation and which ones should not be used."
"What I can't stand the most is that I always ask me to go to the bathhouse to scrub the bath. A bunch of men took off naked and lay on the wooden bed for the old man to rub it. This feeling is so strange. When I was in Canton, I used to take a bath in the independent bathroom. How can I do such a private matter together?"
...
"I am from Fujian Province. Now I work in Chang'an. What makes me feel most uncomfortable is my diet."
"The staple food here is all kinds of noodles and cakes. I am used to eating rice from the south, so I'm really not used to eating pasta."
"And there is very little seafood here, most of which are frozen scallops and the like. When I was in Fujian Province, I ate the sea by the sea. All kinds of seafood were home-cooked, but now it is difficult to make it."
"The stomachs of southerners are really not suitable for the rough Northwest!"
...
"As a southerner, the biggest difficulty after coming to the north is eating. The braised mutton eaten by us southerners is goat meat, which has a mutton smell, is thin and is eaten with skin. However, the sheepskin in the north is kept as a leather coat and is reluctant to eat it.
For me, a fan of sheepskin, I can’t see any hopelessness in the north to eat sheepskin. Who can understand?”
....
"Actually, there are benefits to the north. I went to the north from the south to study. I was the only one in the dormitory, and the others were all from the north.
In the winter of the first year, our dormitory bought a bunch of takeout and had dinner together in the dormitory. After buying too many, we didn’t finish a lot of food.
In our place, no matter winter and summer, we usually have to put the unfinished meal in the refrigerator, otherwise it will become bad and smelly in a few hours, but the school dormitory will definitely not have a refrigerator.
I'm very worried about what to do.
As a result, the other people calmly said, put it on the balcony.
This surprised me, it was a waste.
But they insisted on putting all the food on the balcony.
Then the food was frozen hard by the cold temperature outside, which was much more useful than the refrigerator..."
...
"The cockroaches in the south are too big..."
"In our north, cockroaches are only as big as rice grains and cannot fly!!"
...
"My northern roommate asked me what to eat for lunch, and I said to eat. She said I know, so what to eat. Later I found out that their rice was generally referred to, and our meal here was meant to rice."
...
"I am from the north, and it's really troublesome to spend the winter in the south. I always thought the north was colder than the south, but when I arrived in the south, I realized that I was wrong.
In our north, there is heating in winter, and the home is warm, and it’s hot to wear T-shirts. It’s normal to eat ice cream in winter. Frozen pears and other delicacies in winter.
But in the south, if you don’t have heating, you need more cold-proof tools. Baby heating, air conditioning fees, and leg warmers all cost money. And no matter how much you can keep warm, you can’t do it without the courage when you come out of bed in the morning.
Getting up in the winter in the south really depends on integrity.”
...
All kinds of wanderers who are in a foreign land, in school or in work have written out the differences in life they feel in detail below Ye Weiyang's Weibo with great interest.
Most of the people who can follow Ye Weiyang are his loyal fans.
Usually, Ye Weiyang’s Weibo basically posts selfies, meals, and forwards some business promotions. You can tell at a glance that it is not the one who is operating it, but the staff behind it.
But today's Weibo post was obviously posted by Ye Weiyang himself.
Everyone is speculating whether he is writing a song and is soliciting some materials, so he actively commented, hoping that his comments can be selected and written into the song.
Ye Weiyang lived up to expectations. After reading in detail for more than an hour and about hundreds of comments, he felt a little bit clear.
Originally, he had the original lyrics of "Floating to the North", and it was not difficult to adapt. In addition, netizens worked together to share with him so many of his feelings about wandering in a foreign land.
After inheriting the memory of his original body, he himself has a good ability to write lyrics and compose.
With various factors superimposed, after Ye Weiyang returned to the hotel, he began to write the words with confidence.
This is his first real song writing. Although the song was copied and the lyrics also need to be adapted by the original lyrics, this is somewhat a breakthrough.
After he followed the comments of netizens and his own thoughts, the lyrics he realized were neatly recorded on white paper.
A semi-original lyrics were quickly written.
