Chapter 597 Across the four seas and proud of the world! (2/2 monthly ticket)
At night, the night surrounding the Bird's Nest is illuminated by colorful lights, and the audience inside the venue, as well as the fans waiting in front of the TV, are all looking forward to a grand opening ceremony to announce the 2023 women's football team.
The World Cup begins!
"Viewers, we are now at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) in Beijing, China, and we will broadcast the opening ceremony of the FIFA 2023 China Women's World Cup live for you..."
With the slightly passionate announcement of the bilingual host on the spot, and the camera of the entire stadium slowly zooming in on the TV, the opening ceremony officially began!
Needless to say, the beginning must still follow the basic process of introducing the guests, playing the national anthem, and playing the party song.
Although the audience felt a little bored, time flew by for the actors and singers waiting in the tunnel. Their hearts were beating loudly as they watched the performance "approach".
There was no way not to be nervous, nearly 100,000 people were watching!
Even Yang Qian's heart was beating a little faster at this time. After all, he had never experienced this scene before.
There were more than a thousand people at the Spring Festival Gala and tens of thousands at the music festival. The scale was simply not comparable to what it is now.
Not to mention anything else, when the host introduced the leaders, the cheers of tens of thousands of people suddenly burst out, which was enough to make the foreign guests at the scene feel a sense of oppression!
"Relax, Sister Cai is here to take the lead! What are you afraid of?"
Cai Huahong seemed to be aware of it. She turned around and looked at Yang Qian and Dai Yuni who were standing there holding hands tightly, and smiled slightly at them.
The rich experience of the veteran singer came into play at this time. Her calm expression and firm eyes gave Yang Qian and Dai Yuni a lot of confidence.
"Come on, Sister Cai!"
Before Yang Qian and Dai Yuni could exchange more words with her, they had to say goodbye.
Because the director's assistant hurried over wearing a headset and called Cai Huahong to come on stage to prepare. There were many dancers accompanying him.
In addition, many performers who had prepared the changing flower troupes had already run out onto the court with a temporary floor.
The scale of the opening ceremony of the Women's World Cup is definitely not comparable to that of the Winter Olympics, but Song Guanglin still used limited resources and limited time to rehearse as many scenes as possible and a very grand song and dance program!
"The Women's World Cup has gone through thirty-two years, and this year's Women's World Cup has also ushered in its third expansion. Thirty-two women's football teams from different countries have reunited in China. These thirty-two women's football teams have reunited in China.
In two years, thirty-two women's football teams were formed, which is just a microcosm of women breaking traditional constraints in sports and daring to reach new heights..."
After the host introduced the excellence of female football players and the outstanding power they have exerted in the world, he began to announce the start of Cai Huahong's program.
"First of all, please enjoy the large-scale song and dance performance "Wind, Rain, Rainbow, Sonorous Rose" brought to us by the famous Chinese singer Cai Huahong and XX Dance Troupe!"
...
"Cai Huahong? It seems like this song was written by Yang Qian!"
In front of the TV, Shun Liangwei finally waited for Yang Qian's "new song".
The camera cut to a distant view, and the entire Bird's Nest was shrouded in lights and fireworks, but the subtitles next to it were shown. This song "Wind, Rain, Rainbow, Sonorous Rose" sung by Cai Huahong, the lyrics and music are both written and composed by Yang Qian!
Of course, the subtitles are very short and many people may have ignored them.
But Cen Liangwei had done his homework. He saw Yang Qian's name appearing many times in a report on the Women's Football World Cup that was not too widely read.
This shows that Yang Qian not only wrote the song "I believe I can fly" which is said to have moved many foreigners, but he also had many other songs that appeared in this opening ceremony.
Therefore, Shun Liangwei specially waited for tonight's live broadcast of the opening ceremony and paid great attention to the subtitles that appeared on the TV.
"All good things are just intoxicated yesterday,
Slightly bitter, that’s what I taste today!”
The eldest sister Cai Huahong's singing did not disappoint the audience, and Shum Liangwei also nodded in praise while listening.
That’s not to say that the older generation of singers can really continue to be great. Many singers who have gradually retired as they get older have experienced vocal decline, and their singing timbre is far inferior to what they were at their peak.
There are many reasons for a bad voice, including unscientific work and rest, diet, and unscientific way of speaking. It may even be due to age and lack of practice, and the voice has lost its texture like a kitchen knife that is not often sharpened.
But this also shows the excellence and self-discipline of an old singer who can still maintain a good singing level even after he is older!
Cai Huahong is over 50 years old, but she can still look heroic on stage and sing majestic songs. That is really worthy of everyone's admiration!
"Think of it, tomorrow will be sunny and windy again,
No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, there is no fear!"
This song doesn't feel amazing at first sight, and may be a bit bland to ordinary viewers, just like the "flowers" that the dancers in the picture have not yet unfolded.
However, Cen Liangwei found it very interesting.
"Yang Qian's lyrics are still worth savoring!"
In his haste, he didn't have a chance to take a closer look, but Cen Liangwei felt that the image of the female football players practicing hard in the sun and rain had come out.
"The pain in my body makes it difficult for me to sleep,
There are more tears on the road under your feet,
Chasing dreams always has many twists and turns,
No regrets, just face it calmly!"
The second verse of the main song began to move many audience members, including Cen Liangwei.
Aren't these the same female football players who are injured all over their bodies just to play football, and who persevere despite all the grievances and tears in pursuit of their dreams?
Competitive sports have always been about performance. Before success, all the internal pain and external negation can only be carried by oneself.
But even if they won the championship, just like the first line sang, "All the good things are just drunk yesterday." The women's football team won the Asian Cup, but the results were already in the past the next day.
Everyone should continue to look forward and continue to strive for higher results!
Of course, these lyrics seem appropriate to apply to other athletes, after all, it is not easy for them...
"Wind and rain, rainbow, sonorous rose,
No matter how much sadness or pain you have, you have to carry it yourself,
Stormy rainbow, sonorous rose,
Smiling proudly across the world and never retreating!"
Along with the chorus, other audience members fell in love with this song, not to mention Shun Liangwei!
Its rhythm is so strong and it’s so easy to sing!
The key is that it is very powerful. Cai Huahong's sonorous and powerful singing voice vividly conveys the domineering spirit of "across the world" and "smiling proudly to the end of the world"!
"Women's football is on fire!"
"What the hell, am I watching the men's World Cup? Why do I feel a little bit on top?"
