Brief Explanation

It’s the last working day before Chinese New Year break in a lofted studio when China’s beloved godfather of Mandarin-pop, Jonathan Lee, greets his staff who are packing and ready to head home for the holiday. Inspired by this scenario, Jonathan plays a few notes on his guitar and settles into the melody of the popular traditional Chinese New Year song “Congrats! Congrats!” [????]. Meanwhile, two of his protégés, Jianqing Li and Ann Bai, help recreate the classic seasonal song with a modern twist, talking about the yearning to be at home at this special time of year. They explore new arrangements on the iPad Pro rack system as their voices interweave and build together hitting a note that captures the nostalgia of theseason.
