What that darn grandson did didn't matter. It was more important to pay attention to Old Zhang's single release.
At 7:30 PM, Zhang Yuanqi's new single was released on the dot. The was no exclusive release this time. On Weibo, a few music platforms, and even the sales of the single CD, were all opened. Online shops also removed the pre-order of this single, as there were more than enough physical copies.
"Landlady Auntie."
"What?"
"The single for 'Woman Flower' has been released. Could you and Chenchen give it some likes and play it?"
"Zhang Yuanqi's solo?"
"Yes."
"That song isn't too bad."
This was a song written for women. Big Sis Rao also looked like she liked it very much. Although she uttered the words 'not bad', in actuality, that was just how she was. She hardly ever said that something was 'good', so a comment saying that it was “not bad” actually meant that she approved of it.
Rao Aimin played "Woman Flower" and listened.
When Chenchen heard it, she seemed uninterested and just sat there, continuing to eat sunflower seeds.
Zhang Ye looked at Rao Aimin as he listened to the melody. He suddenly said, "Big Sis Rao, I have not mentioned it to you yet, but regarding the incident this time, thank you. You looked out for me, and even got someone to get me out of the police station, so let me know if there's anything I can do for you in the future to repay you. I won't talk about impossibles, such as getting you the stars and moon, but as long as it's something I can do, I will certainly try my best.
Rao Aimin glanced at him and said without holding back, "Chenchen and my laundry have begun to pile up, go wash them for me later."
Zhang Ye coughed, ".....About that, why don't we talk about getting the stars and the moon instead!"
"Woman Flower", when sung by Zhang Yuanqi, really sounded too beautiful. One could tell from listening that Zhang Yuanqi had let herself go for the song. It sounded very different from the version performed at the Spring Festival Gala. As Zhang Xia had been a soprano singer all her life, Zhang Yuanqi had wanted to match Grandma Zhang Xia by singing a pitch higher in their duet. Although it sounded good, compared to the original, it lost a little flavor. It lacked the sorrowfulness and the feeling of the passage of time. However, when it came to her own solo version, Zhang Yuanqi did not go for that same high pitched delivery while singing, but instead went lower in pitch. Zhang Ye knew that this was the exact pitch that Anita Mui had sung for her original version. If Zhang Yuanqi did not sing it this way, Zhang Ye would probably not have bothered thinking and analyzing all of it. Looking at it now, Old Zhang's music and artistic levels were really of very high standards. As one of the greats of the movie industry, she had not disappointed. Even more, she fully deserved the tag of once being labeled the Queen of Music of yesteryear. Her ability was there for all to see.
If Zhang Ye had to give his review on this single?
He could only sum it up in a single word — Perfect!
Grandma Zhang Xia would also be releasing her version of "Woman Flower" in a few days? However, it looked as if the pressure on her would be immense. With such a big mountain called Old Zhang in front of her, it would not be easy to create an even better cover of the song.
Rao Aimin listened to the song again.
Zhang Ye also followed suit and played it another time.
However you listened to it, it was sung so perfectly!
