In a conversation with well-known Chinese singer-songwriter Cai Yisheng (hereinafter referred to as "Aunt Yi" in May this year), Aunt Yi told the surging news reporter that she would hold a national tour in the second half of the year. On this mildly hot day in early autumn, he came with the "Thirty and Meet" tour as promised.
"Thirty and Encounter" not only represents a song he once sang, but also is about to stand thirty, whether from the musical connotation or the perception of personnel are more mature and remembered. At the just-concluded Nanjing Station and Shanghai Station Tour, Aunt Yi not only sang classic songs such as "Wukong", "Heather Xiaoza", "Talking About Cups", "Countless Reasons to Like You", but also brought three new songs such as "Sanzang", "Lamp City Line" and "Chang'an Yaoxiang", and invited popular musician Li Changchao to help the scene, and "National Style and Beauty Teenager" Fang Yangfei also sent blessings from the air.

"I also made an agreement with my fans in my early years that I hoped to have a concert before the age of 30." This "Thirty And Meet" tour is for fans and him, but Aunt Yi still has a little regret in her heart: "The real concert in my mind may be a little higher in terms of venue equipment and performance content, but this tour actually has not much performance component, mainly in singing, and then chat with everyone and interact closely." He sighed slightly, "I feel that at this age, I am still quite far away from my dreams, and I will be a little anxious, so as long as I have a little chance, I will seize it and try harder." ”
On the day of the Shanghai tour, hundreds of fans lined up 2 hours before the show, including many people wearing Hanfu and extremely ancient styles. The support committee also distributed hand banners, headlamps and other assistance items on the spot. The performance scene was warm and warm, and finally the fans sang "A Lifetime of Poetic Thousand Waterfalls" in unison, which touched the emotional aunt. In fact, he has recently been under a lot of pressure in order to prepare for the tour, but as soon as he went on stage to see the fans, he was not so depressed, "I feel that I have a bottom in my heart." ”
In the past two months, Aunt Yi has successively released three singles of "Sanzang", "Lamp City Line" and "Chang'an Yaoxiang", and the different styles and high degree of completion have set off a wave of enthusiasm in the national wind circle. The surging news reporter also chatted with Aunt Yi about the behind-the-scenes story of the new song.

The prototype of "Sanzang" was actually born after aunt Yi released her debut album "No Two" in 2014, and it was once a song with a cover of words. However, after reading the lyrics of "Sanzang", Aunt Yi was extremely shocked in her heart, felt that it was a bit wasteful as a cover song, and decided to use an original melody to express it. And this wait, that is, nearly five years, "I have sought out many teachers to try to compose music, but I always feel that it has not reached the ideal in my heart, and I hope to do better." ”
In the end, the composer column of "Three Treasures" was impressively filled in with aunt Yi's own name. "This year, the company said that it was going to make a new song, and I remembered this song that had been covered for several years, and I thought that I must make it this time. Suddenly one day a melody came to mind, and I hurried back to write it out. ”
In order to make "Sanzang" debut in the "Hua Le Ji • 2019 National Wind Music Festival", Aunt Yi also deliberately changed the release order of several singles, "so it is not that it seems that I deliberately memorize the lyrics for fans, but just the release time of the new song is before the performance every time..." At the scene of the tour, she heard the fans promise that "we will definitely remember the lyrics when we tour next month", and Aunt Yi also pretended to be angry: "In a month's time, you can even memorize the "Master Table"! ”
The next "Lamp City Line" was evaluated by many fans as the favorite song and the most explosive atmosphere on the "Thirty And Met" tour scene, and Aunt Yi mischievously said that the song of "Lamp City Line" has also undergone several versions of changes, "I don't think it's 'young enough'!" The resulting dynamic and playful effect made him very satisfied, and the image of the young man in the jianghu was full of vigor and uninhibitedness as if he had penetrated the melody.

Released the day before the first leg of the tour, "Chang'an Haruka" invited Yoshida Jie, a famous Japanese composer and creator of the soundtrack of "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time and Space" and "Big Fish and Begonias", to join. Not only did the fans shout "Live Hisami", but even Aunt Yi was "frightened" when she first learned that she would have a transnational cooperation with Yoshida Jie.
"It is also a fate, in the early years, I collaborated with the lyricist Lori on a lyric cover called "Send Wang Wei", which was used by Yoshida Jie's song." After contacting the "great god", Yoshida Jie's high standards and strict requirements for music also impressed him, "For example, there are a lot of harmonies recorded among us, including female vocals, etc., but Yoshida Jie said that he didn't want all of them there, and he had to clean up a vocal from the beginning to the end." At that time, we thought that a little more things would be richer, huh? But according to his requirements, the effect of "Chang'an Yaoxiang" finally created is really great. ”
When asked "the recent release of new songs is very prolific, is the second album is about to come out", the second aunt denied: "That is all an illusion, but just a lot of partners choose to release songs in the summer vacation, so in the summer vacation everyone may suddenly see me sending almost 10 songs... This year's new songs have actually been released. However, the second series that makes fans look forward to wearing autumn water is also in preparation, "I want to put some of my own feelings in it." ”
After completing the two tours in Nanjing and Shanghai on September 21 and 22, Aunt Yi will go to Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Beijing and other cities to meet the audience in October. The intensive schedule of the tour was a great challenge to his physical strength and voice, but Aunt Yi said that she would give her all and devote herself wholeheartedly. At the same time, he also revealed that each of the next shows will have friends in the industry as guests to assist in the performance, and even some guests will appear twice.
