The song "Thousands of Mountains and Thousands of Waters" is not quite the same as Han Sen's other Chinese-style songs.
In addition to the lyrics, another thing is that the arrangement of this song rarely uses majestic strings and drums to set it off, which can be heard at the beginning. This is very rare in Han Sen's previous Chinese-style songs.
, such as "Hair Like Snow", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Jiangnan", etc. These songs are not too "noisy", but "Thousands of Mountains and Waters" is different, although the arrangement of the whole song is similar to "Blue and White Porcelain"
etc. are basically the same, but the various "materials" are obviously much heavier.
This has led to many fans who like to listen to Han Sen's Chinese-style works to be a little unfavorable to the song "Thousands of Mountains and Waters".
But even so, the quality of this song can be considered a masterpiece in the industry, and it can still beat a lot of so-called Chinese-style songwriters.
When Han Sen finished singing "Thousands of Mountains and Waters", the audience applauded enthusiastically.
After the recording of the program ended, Han Sen randomly left Donghai TV. Before leaving, he got the contact information of sports school teacher Yang Rong, and the two parties agreed to meet again at this time tomorrow.
Looking at Han Sen and others leaving, Yang Rong asked with some uncertainty: "Uncle Mincai, I still can't believe it. Han Sen wants me to be a star in his movie."
Actor?"
"That should be it." Chen Mincai turned around and smiled: "I see you are very interested, so why not give it a try."
Although Yang Rong's family is a family of officials, Yang Rong himself has no intention of becoming an official. The family fully respects Yang Rong's wishes but does not interfere too much with Yang Rong's career principles, direction and personal hobbies.
For example, going to a sports school to be a physical education teacher was due to Yang Rong's hobby.
But now, Yang Rong has turned into an actor and appears in public, which is obviously inappropriate for a family who is an official.
Chen Mincai seemed to be aware of Yang Rong's concerns and said with a smile: "What era are we in now? The old ideological dregs should be completely discarded. You have the freedom to choose your personal career. Even if Lao Yang is here, he will support your choice.
, if you are worried, then call your dad and ask."
Yang Rong was a little embarrassed, but she was not yearning for the acting profession, but was curious. Rather than wanting to make a living in this industry, it was more like she wanted to be curious and be an actor in Han Sen's movie.
"I'm not sure yet whether I can pass the audition. I'll tell my family later." Yang Rong said with a smile.
Chen Mincai smiled and asked, "What's your impression of Han Sen? What do you think of him as a person?"
"Very good, gentle and well-educated. It doesn't match my impression of entertainment stars, but he has his own temperament." Yang Rong thought for a while and said, "It's like he is an elder, calm and strategizing.
"
Chen Mincai said with both laughter and laughter: "Han Sen is only 25 or 26 years old. He is very young. How come he has become an old man in your eyes?"
Yang Rong was a little embarrassed: "I'm just talking about my feelings one-sidedly. In addition, Han Sen's behavior, speech and behavior make people feel safe, and people can easily trust him..."
Chen Mincai nodded.
He actually deliberately brought Yang Rong and Han Sen together. After the conversation in New York, Chen Min discovered that Han Sen was very self-disciplined and restrained, and he didn't seem to have any plans to consider the love between his children in a short period of time.
After taking into account the special nature of Han Sen's profession, Chen Mincai's willingness to match him weakened.
Although he loves talents and likes Han Sen, this young man, it doesn't mean that he should be tied to his side and held in his hand. There are many ways to get closer to Han Sen, such as introducing a friend's daughter to Han Sen.
Understanding, but falling behind.
Just as Chen Mincai was chatting with Yang Rong, his phone suddenly vibrated. Chen Mincai glanced at the phone and said to Yang Rong: "You go back to the hotel first, or go shopping around the East China Sea. I'll answer the call. We'll go back later."
Let’s talk again.”
"Okay, Uncle Mincai, you are busy first!"
Yang Rong said quickly.
Chen Mincai walked to the corner, answered the phone and said, "Xiaofang, what's going on?"
On the other side of the phone, Fang Yongyi, deputy director of the Beijing Olympic Committee and secretary-general of the Propaganda Office of the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television, said anxiously: "Director Chen, something happened. The first version of the Olympic theme song "Heart to Heart" we had decided on was just exposed.
, people in the music circle pointed out that some of the melodies were suspected of plagiarism, and the Internet has been abuzz with discussion!"
Chen Mincai's heart sank and he asked seriously: "Are you sure it's plagiarism?"
Fang Yongyi immediately said: "It should be certain. Those musicians took out their palettes and compared all the chords with an Italian song called "Embrace" from abroad. The similarity is as high as 80%.
!”
Chen Mincai's heart sank to the bottom. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and said in a deep voice: "Check! Check carefully for me! If it is confirmed that it was plagiarized, then ask the author of the song "Heart to Heart" to completely blacklist me and ban him.
He went to court to compensate for all the damage to his reputation! How dare you commit such fraud in such a big event. If you don’t use false pretenses, you won’t be able to give an explanation to the public!”
Fang Yongyi responded quickly, and then said bitterly: "Director Chen, there are still about two months until the Olympics start. Where can I find replacement songs now?"
"Let me figure this out. You should immediately disassociate yourself from the work of "Heart to Heart". If necessary, hold a press conference to apologize to the public!"
"But……"
"Nothing!" Chen Mincai looked at the time on his watch and said, "I'm going to find Han Sen for help now!"
When Fang Yongyi heard Han Sen's name, he immediately became happy and said, "If it is Han Sen who takes action, then there will be no problem."
Chen Mincai sighed: "Han Sen is good at Chinese style. It must be very difficult for him to write an international song."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mincai hurriedly drove to Han Sen's hotel.
On the way, Chen Mincai called Han Sen and told him the details of the matter. Even Han Sen was shocked when he heard that the Olympic theme song "Heart to Heart" was suspected of plagiarism.
After Chen Mincai arrived at the hotel, Han Sen didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point: "What do you need me to do?"
"Write an international song, but it cannot be completely international. It is best to show the Eastern musical artistry!" Chen Mincai said with a wry smile: "This may be a bit difficult, but Han Sen, for now, you are the only one."
I can do it, but I’m really not worried about other people now!”
Han Sen nodded.
Speaking of Olympic theme songs with a sense of oriental music and art, Han Sen could only think of that ethereal and majestic song.
Unlike the theme songs created for the Olympic Games in the West, the song Han Sen wanted was a slow song.
However, Chinese itself is a language with a slow speaking speed. It is normal for the songs to have a slow tempo, which also reflects the Chinese people's stable and calm attitude towards life.
"My request is very simple. As long as this Olympic theme song can make people remember the lyrics and melody within five minutes, and it is best to be able to sing it, even five or ten years later, it can still make people remember it.
Just remember it."
Chen Mincai's request was very simple, but he said a lot of extraordinary words: "If people can learn to play it with a simple instrument in ten minutes, that would be even better! This shows that this song is very suitable for rapid spread.
.”
"Of course, the most important thing is that it must have national characteristics. Different languages can be used, but it must be mainly Chinese!" Chen Min said his request in one breath, and later looked at Han Sen expectantly.
When Han Sen heard this, he smiled and said: "Director Chen, your requirements are not low. The value of creating such a song is inestimable!"
Chen Mincai patted Han Sen hard on the shoulders, "The people of the whole country will be grateful to you!"
Han Sen was a little helpless. Director Chen was really pretending to understand. His songs were not big cabbage, so how could he just give them away? Director Chen didn't seem to understand such a simple truth.
Whatever!
Han Sen thought that this was a song written for the country, so he stopped worrying about the gains and losses and said, "Director Chen, please wait a moment."
After saying that, regardless of Chen Mincai's doubts, Han Sen turned around and walked directly into the hotel room, taking out a password box. He opened the password box directly and took out a stack of documents. After flipping through it for a minute or two, he pulled out a document.
, turned around, walked to the living room, and handed it to Chen Mincai: "This song must be very suitable."
Chen Mincai looked at Han Sen silently: "Is this the theme song you prepared for the Olympic Games?"
"Yes, when I was writing "Thousands of Mountains and Waters", I tried to write the theme song of the Olympic Games. I personally like this song very much. Unfortunately, I am not a high-pitched singer. Otherwise, I would not be able to bear it.
I will sing this song myself."
Chen Min took the sheet of music and lyrics and looked at Han Sen carefully. After confirming that Han Sen was not joking, he looked at the sheet of music and lyrics in his hand. However, he was born musically blind and had never studied music theory.
Just from some of the lyrics on the lyrics and music sheet, we can tell that this song is indeed slightly different.
Not to mention anything else, just these lyrics are very suitable for Chen Mincai's eyes.
The words are concise and concise, and the emotions are sincere. The few lyrics actually reveal the basic concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and a unified world!
This is obviously the national characteristic of China!
Even though he didn’t know anything about music theory, when Chen Mincai read the lyrics of this song, a strong sense of image swept through his mind. At that moment, Chen Mincai almost had an image of the tens of thousands of people at the Olympic Games opening ceremony in his mind.
of cheers.
In these lyrics, he was moved to tears.
"This song..." Chen Mincai's throat moved, and he finally said: "The lyrics are so well written! They are better than the lyrics of any song I have ever seen! They are simple and elegant, extraordinary! So extraordinary!"
Han Sen smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Director Chen. I have already given you the lyrics and music. Director Chen just needs to hand over the lyrics and music to a professional. I believe you will be satisfied with the complete song when it comes out. I need to rest later."
, there will be a concert tomorrow, Director Chen, I won’t see you off."
Chen Mincai was a little surprised to see Han Sen issue an order to expel guests so quickly, but after hearing Han Sen's reasons and seeing Han Sen's slightly tired look, he quickly said: "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest. Trust me, this
You have helped me so much this time, and I won't let your work go in vain."
Han Sen smiled and said, "Director Chen, you're welcome."
When Chen Mincai walked out of the hotel, he quickly arranged for someone to send the lyrics and music scores to the Beijing Olympic Committee. The relevant professional music talents had also received the news one by one and were ready.
Among them, the famous singer Zu Qing has also hurriedly felt that the recording studio prepared by the Olympic Committee was ready.
"The song "Heart to Heart" has caused such a stir that there is no way it will appear at the Olympic opening ceremony again!"
"There are still two months to go, where can I find a good work to replace it?"
"I heard that Director Chen is in contact with Han Sen. If Han Sen takes action..."
"Han Sen is good at Chinese-style songs. Although he is also very good at composing English songs, they obviously do not fit the theme style of our Chinese Olympic Games. Don't put too much hope in Han Sen!"
"Yes, although "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" is not bad, it is still a bit inferior to Han Sen's previous works!"
"Han Sen has released so many classic songs, but it is Jiang who has exhausted his talents!"
A group of people were talking a lot.
When Zu Qing walked into the recording studio with a high ponytail, everyone immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Teacher Zu!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Zu!"
Zu Qing is about fifty years old. He is a famous singing artist in China and an all-around singer. He is good at medium, high and low tones. He has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage many times. Although his popularity is slightly lower than that of Han Sen now.
Weak, but compared to Li Qing and Li Ang when they were most popular back then, they are not far behind.
Just because he doesn't like to be in the limelight and public, he rarely appears in public and rarely participates in related programs and activities.
But his status in the circle is extremely aloof. Even when Er Li came here and saw Zu Qing, he had to respectfully call him Master Zu.
At this moment, Zu Qing was sighing.
I almost ruined my reputation...
Before the thunder of "Heart to Heart", Zu Qing was the singer of this song. If he were allowed to sing this plagiarized song in front of billions of people around the world, then this stain would accompany Zu Qing's life.
lifetime.
This made Zu Qing, who thought he was aloof, quite frightened.
Fortunately, the song was exposed in advance and some talented musicians saw the clues, which allowed Zu Qing to rein in the situation and not make any mistakes.
But this time, when he received a call from the Telecom and came to the Olympic Committee, he was in an extremely irritable and depressed mood.
A good Olympic theme song is simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience——
Under such a premise, on the day "Heart to Heart" was exposed for plagiarism, such a song was released? How is it possible!
The leaders of this Olympic Committee are too childish!
