Chapter 347 'Thousands of Mountains and Thousands of Waters'
Seeing Han Sen brooding silently, Chen Mincai thought his request was difficult, so he smiled and said: "Don't put any pressure on you. We are not asking you to complete the creation in a short time. The Olympic planning plan will not be completed until the spring of next year."
It will be officially implemented, so you will have half a year to carefully write lyrics and music. I believe in your ability. After all, you can write a national style song like "Blue and White Porcelain". Your creative skills and aesthetics are definitely better than most people.
"
After a pause, he continued: "After discussion, the Beijing Olympic Committee has set up a special song collection office to collect outstanding Olympic songs from songwriters across the country. After the spring of next year, the Olympic Games Organizing Committee will release an album of Olympic songs.
Every song included in the album will win the Beijing Olympic Games Outstanding Song Award, which is a very high honor and very useful for you when you are just starting out."
Han Sen scratched his head a little. He found that people at CCTV seemed to have the habit of inviting songs out of thin air. The last time he participated in "Art House", Ao Yan suddenly found him and asked him to sing in public for her TV series "The Song Dynasty".
"Forensic Medicine" composed the theme song.
Fortunately, I did not disappoint the other party's expectations. I wrote a song "Man Jiang Hong" on the spot, which was successfully recognized by Ao Yan.
Now, another big boss has emerged, and he is also the deputy director of CCTV.
Han Sen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
However, when he heard the other party's request, he remembered an incident from his previous life.
Before the opening of the Beijing Olympics in the previous life, the organizers of the Olympic Games solicited Olympic songs from across the country.
Jay Chou, the king singer at the time, was also very enthusiastic. Driven by his patriotism, he even composed and sang a song for the Olympic Games.
Initially, Jay Chou solicited Olympic lyrics from all over the world.
However, the collected Olympic lyrics were not satisfactory, so we had to ask our old partner, poet Fang Wenshan, to come out.
Fang Wenshan immediately agreed, and after learning that it was an Olympic song, he promised not to take any money from it. Being extremely responsible, he spent a full week writing the first draft.
Even after the first draft was completed, I went over each word and sentence dozens of times, striving to reflect the spirit and cultural charm of the Chinese people in the lyrics.
After nearly a month, Fang Wenshan was finally finished and handed over the complete lyrics to Jay Chou.
Jay Chou fell in love with this poem at first sight.
Soon, he started composing music himself, making song demos, and after careful recording, he finally sent the song to the Beijing Olympic Song Contest Office via email the day before the Olympic song competition deadline. And this song not only won
With the approval of the Song Contest Office, it was included in the album near the Olympic Games, and was later recommended to be played on a loop in space aboard the national spacecraft.
Unfortunately, the lyrics of this song have a strong national flavor and are a bit difficult to pronounce. They are not consistent with the simple, straightforward, sonorous and inspiring characteristics of the Olympic theme song, and are not as good as another Olympic song "
Me and You" is so catchy.
Therefore, in that time and space, this national song did not eventually become the opening song of the Olympic Games.
But even so, soon after, it was still collected by the National Museum.
The copyright of the lyrics and music of the songs also belongs to the state.
Even Jay Chou cannot use this song for commercial performances, let alone authorize it to be sung by others.
This song is "Thousands of Mountains and Waters".
It was also from the song "Thousands of Mountains and Waters" that Jay Chou's status in China became transcendent.
In the following years, he was known as CCTV's "son". He appeared on the Spring Festival Gala several times and participated in CCTV's performance to express condolences to the countryside.
Even if Jay Chou holds a concert, it will be on CCTV news.
This kind of promotion is the only one in the entire Chinese music world.
Even many years later, when Jay Chou was in a state of semi-retirement and was questioned by the new generation of netizens about his poor data and undeserved reputation, official media such as the People's Daily took the initiative to come forward and compile statistics for him, making Jay Chou's
Chaohua immediately became the first one overnight and became a hit in the entire entertainment industry.
…
At this time, Tan Gaohan came back from outside after finishing his work. When he saw Chen Mincai, he was suddenly surprised and hurriedly walked up to say hello: "Director Chen, long time no see."
Chen Min turned around, saw Tan Gaohan, and smiled: "Mr. Tan? Are you here too?"
He remembered Tan Gaohan because he had dealt with Tan Gaohan many years ago when he was the director of Jiangnan TV Station.
At that time, Hanhai Media had two heroes, namely Liu Qin and Tan Gaohan. They were Li Qing's right-hand men, but later Tan Gaohan left Hanhai, which also caused a shock in the industry.
But no matter what, Tan Gaohan was famous for being serious and responsible during his time at Hanhai. Almost every artist he led became popular, so Tan Gaohan was also very close to the top executives of major TV stations, and Chen Mincai was one of them.
Whether in the past or now, when Tan Gaohan faced Chen Mincai, his attitude was always respectful. After all, Chen Min was the absolute controller of resources and one of the people at the top of the food chain in the industry. He had a very high say in this world.
If you hang around in a social circle, you won't get far if you don't curry favor with such a boss.
Just one word from someone can make it difficult for you in the industry.
Although it is rare for an elder to abuse his power, Tan Gaohan has suffered losses in this area before, and he would rather believe that he has.
So when he saw Chen Mincai talking to Han Sen, he immediately came over and asked about the situation. When he learned that Chen Mincai had invited Han Sen to sing on behalf of the Olympic Committee, Tan Gaohan was surprised. He turned around and looked at Han Sen, confirming that
After there was no problem, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, you can rest assured to leave this matter to us, and we will get it right as soon as possible."
"How fast is as fast as possible?" Chen Min asked unexpectedly.
It was originally said casually, but who knew that it aroused Ao Yan's excitement. She clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Deputy Director Chen, Han Sen has the ability to create on the spot. The theme of my "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty"
The song was a piece Han Sen wrote casually. The whole process, including the time for thinking, took less than half an hour. At that time, I was already impressed. It turned out that there really are absolute geniuses in this world..."
Chen Mincai was startled, and looked at Han Sen carefully for a few times, which made Han Sen tremble. Then he suddenly said: "If Director Ao said this, then Mr. Han's amazing talent and brilliance would be like that of the Three Kingdoms."
Like Cao Zhi, can a poem be written in seven steps?"
"That's right." Ao Yan nodded with a smile, and then looked at Han Sen expectantly like Chen Mincai.
Han Sen subconsciously took a half step back, then looked like he was thinking, then raised his head and said: "I can try, but I can't guarantee that I will be satisfied with you."
Seeing this, Tan Gaohan quickly said: "Sen Zai, don't be too pushy. Creation needs time to settle down. It's better to set a time, such as a month, and then submit the manuscript to Director Chen."
"If I didn't know Han Sen's ability, this would be the best plan, but now, I can't wait."
Chen Mincai laughed loudly, patted Tan Gaohan's shoulder, and comforted him: "Mr. Tan, don't worry, I never judge a hero based on his immediate success or failure."
Tan Gaohan sighed, looked at Han Sen resentfully, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Han Sen smiled helplessly: "I can only give it a try."
He really could only give it a try. Although the song "Thousands of Mountains and Thousands of Waters" was once popular all over the country, its stamina was a bit lacking. Compared with the popularity of top national songs like "Blue and White Porcelain", it was almost worthless.
carry.
Because it is collected by the National Museum, ordinary people cannot get the copyright to cover it. Therefore, after the popularity of the Olympic Games passed, the discussion of "Thousands of Mountains and Waters" quickly declined.
But even so, the classicness of its lyrics and music can still amaze everyone, and because this song was created for a specific scene, it has even more extraordinary significance.
At this time, when she heard Han Sen agreed to give it a try, Ao Yan couldn't hold it in any longer. She stood up first and shouted to the workers who were working: "Stop what you are doing and keep quiet for now.
Work will start again in an hour, and the rest can go out now."
After saying that, some people at the scene put down their work and left, but many people still stayed there to rest. Especially when some people saw Han Sen, their expressions were full of excitement, and they were obviously very fond of Han Sen.
familiar.
After all, Han Sen's name is still in the top three on the hot search lists of major social networking sites and search engines such as Weibo, and his popularity remains unparalleled.
Nowadays, Han Sen is in the limelight, and his every move has been posted on the Internet. As soon as Han Sen walked into the CCTV building, someone spread the news. Therefore, the Internet has begun to become popular. Han Sen was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Various gossips have spread, and some netizens in Beijing even called for a gathering on the Internet to go to the CCTV building to watch the idol.
This is a later topic, so I won’t mention it for now.
After asking about Han Sen's creative needs, Chen Mincai asked someone to free up the piano on the stage and let Han Sen play with it as he pleased.
Soon, Han Sen was sitting in front of the piano bench, strumming the chords bit by bit.
It was his first time to play and sing "Thousands of Mountains and Waters" on the piano. He had to think carefully and adapt it when playing and singing. Otherwise, the chords of the original song would seem a bit dull when playing and singing on the piano.
Of course, excellent singers can still attract attention even if they sing a cappella.
What's more, it's a popular fried chicken like Han Sen.
So, when Han Sen sat in front of the piano bench, everyone at the scene surrounded the stage.
While Han Sen was thinking about chords, Ao Yan was telling Chen Mincai with great interest what happened at the Art House: "I didn't have high expectations for Han Sen. After all, I wasn't familiar with him at all at the time.
, but at the "Art House" scene, the host Yu Shi randomly selected a poem from "Three Hundred Tang Poems", which was Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", and guess what? He actually composed this song on the spot.
It’s a beautiful song, and it’s very nice and classic.”
"Not only that, in less than half an hour, at my request, he used this piece of music to write a brand new song "Man Jiang Hong", and this song "Man Jiang Hong" later became The theme song of my "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty", do you know how surprised I was at that time? I seemed to have seen the birth of a genius..."
Ao Yan became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and finally couldn't help but laugh: "I really didn't expect that someone could really write such a classic song in such a short period of time. This involves my cognitive blind spot. Later, I asked some friends in the music industry to inquire, and it turned out that they agreed with me, and they all thought that Han Sen was a monster, a monster that could only be seen in a century."
Chen Mincai was also quite moved when he heard it. At this moment, he looked at Han Sen who was sitting on the piano bench on the stage, and his eyes could be said to be full of expectation.
Soon, a minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Five minutes passed...
Han Sen remained silent, frowning slightly as he continued to play music in front of the piano.
The employees at the scene were also waiting eagerly. They all saw at this time that the young man on the stage seemed to be composing a song.
"This kid calls this place his home?"
"Songs are so easy to compose. Director Ao and Deputy Director Chen are still waiting eagerly nearby. It's really strange."
"Don't you know he is Han Sen? He is the King of Lanling from "The Masked Singer"!"
"Judging from Han Sen's ability in "The King of Masked Singer", he is capable of writing a new song in a few days, but if he wants to write a new song in a day, no, in half a day A song, this is a bit fanciful, right? Just the song "Blue and White Porcelain", without years of polishing, it is impossible to write such lyrics and music."
"Should I say it or not, this guy plays the piano really well!"
"Han Sen is so familiar with the senior management of CCTV. It seems that he will attend this year's Spring Festival Gala."
In the whispers of a group of employees.
Suddenly, a coherent sound of the piano sounded, and the majestic momentum immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, in full view of everyone, Han Sen was filled with anger. Accompanied by the vigorous sound of the piano, he sang with clear pronunciation:
"Thousands of mountains and rivers, countless nights
Waiting for a bright moon
The border of dreams cannot be extinguished by the wind
Never feel tired..."
The simple melody shows great momentum at this moment.
Every lyric Han Sen sings is accurate and well-spoken. Every word that reaches people's ears conveys the emotion and image of the song very well.
Just a few words made the scene feel the Chinese style rushing towards them.
However, compared with "Blue and White Porcelain" which is so stunning that it makes people lose goosebumps...
It still feels a bit inferior.
Chen Min just had this feeling.
As a result, Han Sen's next line of singing made him have an orgasm in his head. He instantly felt a surge of ambition, which kept reverberating in his chest and abdomen, making him extremely excited.
"The East has no shame, who is the number one?"
let us pursue perfection
I am determined to face north
A thunder on the ground——"
Dongfang has no shame, who is the first?
Just these eight words immediately caused all the employees present to freeze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
