Experiencing with him together, growing up together,
I've known him since we were 13. [Wu Yifan's good friend, Ray]
It's been 10 years. [Wu Yifan's good friend, Ray]
Ah, I normally call him Kevin. [Wu Yifan's good friend, Song Bingyang]
It's his old English name. [Wu Yifan's good friend, Song Bingyang]
We would- We were the type to really enjoy playing games.
Because our personalities are rather similar,
I am also a Scorpio.
After meeting him, we went to play basketball together everyday.
All that he's experienced, I also know about them.
We went to practice together.
When I was done, he would still be there, practicing.
He's really good at discovering the interesting things in life,
and then he would just constantly, endlessly recommend the things he likes to you.
Even when (we were) younger,
a lot of the things he liked,
he would keep dragging you to do it with him.
When I first met him,
It was purely by coincidence.
When I was entering the place- When I was removing my shoes
I saw him come out and thought,
"This dude is really quite handsome."
"Maybe if he went into acting, it would be quite good."
When we were little, he had told me this before,
"When I grow up,"
"I want to impress my name on the world."
"So that everyone will remember who I am."
So, I really believe that he can do it.
From playmates at a young age to becoming the colleagues we are now,
I feel very safe around him.
You would feel that, not only in your career,
but it's like standing by your friend, a comrade.
Because he wanted-
He called on us to come, he said he wanted to work together
and see how we could help him.
Our studio is called, "Home Stereo,"
and if you translate that back into Chinese,
it means something like a family stereo.
For us, we're generally on the same wavelength.
Occasionally, we'll have a little disparity of mind,
but just talking it over a little would solve the problem.
I think a lot of people have already seen this photograph.
Let me draw out the scene when we play basketball,
and I'm going to add in a little of Xiao Fan's style. [T/n: 小凡, lit. "Little Fan", is an endearing and intimate nickname]
Okay, Xiaofan Classmate.
Xiaofan Classmate,
it's been a long time since we've last celebrated your birthday together.
We will wish you a Happy Birthday.
Have an awesome birthday,
we'll be there for you,
and always have your back.
Peace out, bro.
Happy Birthday.
You have to always listen to me, because I'm older than you by a year, okay?
And remember that you're the best.
Mm, the best, the best, the best!
[BGM: 《有一個地方》by 吳亦凡] ”Somewhere" by Wu Yifan
我能看⻅ 你的双眼 wǒ néng kàn jiàn nǐ de shuāngyǎn I can see your eyes,
眺望着天边 tiàowàngzhe tiānbiān casted up towards the horizon.
无人街角 无声拥抱 wú rén jiējiǎo wúshēng yǒngbào A street corner without people, an embrace without sound,
静静的爱在燃烧 jìngjìng de ài zài ránshāo a quiet love that is burning.
Dai Ni Qu Jian TA Bringing you to see him,
Who are we bringing you to see today?
Wu Yifan!
Your voices are too small.
WU YIFAN!
A bit louder
so even his relatives in the US can hear you, okay? [T/n: Wu Yifan is Canadian, we’re not sure why they’re referring to the US here.]
WU YIFAN!!
Let's have a round of applause to welcome
Wu Yifan!
Hello.
Hello!
Please sit, please sit.
I'm going to give you 10 seconds to scream.
Wah~!
Today, our building-
Our Tencent building, it's been a long time since we've had such a loud disturbance.
Really?
Today is for you to celebrate your birthday.
Thank you.
How is it?
Let's wish him a happy birthday first, okay?
Come on.
Three, two, one!
Wu Yifan,
Happy Birthday!
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, you guys.
Thank you, everyone.
Welcome, Wu Yifan,
for coming to the live studio of "Dai Ni Qu Jian TA".
And seeing this many ninis here, [T/n: 妮妮/nini is a shortened form of 梅格妮/meigeni]
hurry up and greet them!
How are you guys?
You guys are really too great.
This morning, basically, as soon as we got out of bed,
when we looked at our Friends Circles, our Weibos,
even when we read newspapers, the pages were covered with the news of your birthday.
When we went to bus stations, the billboards there were also about your birthday.
It's all because of you guys, isn't that right?
Yeah~
When you see these, how do you feel?
When I see them,
actually, I feel very touched.
I'm very happy.
Actually, it's always been this way.
From debut to now,
it's always them who has given me a lot of support and encouragement.
I think that they're really awesome,
they are the best.
So without them,
there wouldn't be the me of today.
Basically, on our interchange stations’ billboards,
we always see the popular and hot movies.
Only popular movies that are about to release soon
have the administrative fees to make station advertisements.
You guys are really great.
Give yourselves a round of applause to encourage yourselves, okay?
I think the netizen friends that are watching the Tencent livestream
can't hear some of the noises at the studio.
But right now, the shutters of their cameras at the studio sounds like a printing factory.
They haven't stopped making that noise at all.
Today is a very happy day;
Yifan has come to the studio of our show.
Today, there is a double happiness.
Firstly, it's your birthday, right?
Yes.
And the other is that you've given birth to a "son".
Yes.
Am I right?
Let's introduce everyone to your "son."
Ah, my "son." Well, he's actually-
Why are you sighing so deeply?
It hasn't been easy.
Was it a difficult birth?
Well, no, it wasn't that difficult.
But because this is technically my first song,
and it's also my first time creating and producing,
it holds a deep significance for me.
What is the name of this song?
It is related to my movie,
"Somewhere"
So have you written this song in order to pair it with this movie?
Yes.
Because when I was filming in Prague-
Actually, back then I was thinking that this movie needed a theme song.
And I was also thinking that,
actually, I have a great interest in being able to
act in a movie and also produce some music simultaneously.
So, at the time, I began the slow process of creating this song with my good friend, Bingyang.
So at that time, you guys already had the concept in mind?
At the beginning, it was still rather fuzzy.
I only thought that it should be
a song that's not exactly the same as the mainstream Chinese songs.
Because it's a song for a film in Prague,
so it would require some more foreign elements.
Therefore my song's starting point is slightly more Euro-American, maybe.
So when you're writing your song over there,
is there a difference to when you're writing songs here?
For example,
are the views that you can see different,
are the pedestrians that you can see different,
and is the feeling somehow different?
- When you're writing songs over there, is it different? - Yes.
It was definitely different.
It was exceptionally beautiful over there,
exceptionally beautiful.
Are you talking about the people? Or…?
I think- No.
The scenery.
Everyone here is the most beautiful.
You guys are the most beautiful.
Oh, he's exceptionally good at talking!
I think the entire atmosphere over there is different,
because there's a different kind of feeling in every place.
Yes.
So in that location,
there would be a bit more-
when you're composing, you'll bring in some of the atmosphere from over there,
so there might be some difference than when you’re in China.
The feeling would be different.
Did you go to get inspiration from scenery and folk culture?
Like how some people would go to the valleys,
or places like rustic fields.
In Prague, did you guys go to row some boats,
or go to some places with more atmosphere
in order to find inspiration?
I rowed boats
and ran aground many times.
Is it because you don’t know how to row?
Actually, I think that I still did okay,
but my pals,
they weren't putting in too much effort.
So you're blaming Bingyang and the others?
No, no,
they weren't with us.
At the time, they were still outside of the country.
So it's the film cast?
Yes, some friends.
I won't name any names here.
You guys know whom I am talking about.
Whom?
Are you making them do homework?
Yeah, I'm not going to reveal their names.
But when you're writing, do you have your own quirks?
Because when some people write their songs, they might lock themselves in the washroom,
a more private space,
and must turn the lights off.
Some people will have to clear out every single thing in their rooms,
including cleansing their own bodies; they would remove all their clothes too,
in order to better get inspiration.
Do you have some rather strange quirks?
I- I- I-
I don't.
I don't have anything that's qu-qu-quite as strange as that.
I'm just-
I'm quite normal.
I just write about whatever I am thinking of.
Where do you mainly compose your songs?
On the aeroplane?
Or in your room?
Or can you write anywhere?
It's mainly at home.
I write more at home.
Because when I'm with my friends at home,
we created this sort of recording studio for ourselves.
It's small,
like a mini recording studio.
I'll do my composing in there.
Every day, we work without differentiating night or day.
Without differentiating day and night?
So this time, this song is produced with Bingyang?
Yes.
So it's only you two?
Yes.
So you don't differentiate between night and day at home.
Yes.
To write this song?
What are you doing?
Why are you making that kind of weird laughter?
Yes, yes, yes.
It's like that.
But in the introduction VCR we just watched,
I think he said,
"Maybe when we were writing this song, there were some minor conflicts."
There were?
Weren't there?
Bingyang, did we?
I thought it was actually okay.
Because we have been good friends for many years,
so between us-
But we feel that if there is conflict, that is a good thing,
because that means that there is more room for improvement.
What kind of conflicts would you have?
Between the two of you?
For example, when we hear the same note,
from the same instrument, in the same position,
of course, we would have different feelings about it.
For example, he might think that this is better,
while I would think that the other is better.
In times like this,
we might find a third person's opinion on the sound,
because we might be completely disorientated from all the sounds already.
So you'll reach a stalemate?
Because when you're producing a song,
sometimes you hear it too frequently in a short period of time,
and you just become completely numb.
You don't know which sound is the best,
so you need to find a new audience.
Who is the third person?
Sometimes it could be my mother,
sometimes it could be one of my friends.
There's a possibility for either.
So when you guys have conflicts,
you will still deal with it in an objective manner.
Mmm.
You won't hit him?
No, no.
You two can peacefully find a solution to this problem.
He can't beat me.
So you’re threatening him now?
Even in the video clip, you were bullying him.
But when your song is written,
that second when you've finished,
from the moment of conception to the last,
"Okay, our song is finally done."
At that moment of excitement,
who did you want to share this with most?
Of course, it's with the friends who like me
and support me.
It must be this way.
At last, it can come and meet everyone,
so I'm really happy.
Today is the first day of release, right?
They already know how to sing it,
during the show opening just now,
Really?
Amazing.
During the show opening,
which allowed them to practice for a bit,
and everyone was already singing along.
Really?
Yes.
Then I must listen to it afterwards.
Shall we inspect the fruits of your labour later?
