In the recording studio, Fang Yongyi, deputy director of the Olympic Committee and secretary-general of the Propaganda Office of the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television, saw Zu Qing arriving late and said with a smile: "Teacher Zu is here, hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting for you.
"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the others: "Everyone, please make room for Teacher Zu. Since everyone is here, let's start immediately."
A staff member immediately distributed the lyrics and music scores that had just been received and printed out to everyone present. Each character was marked in a large size so that everyone could see it at a glance.
Zu Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that Fang Yongyi didn't give him any room to speak, he snorted coldly and took the lyrics and music sheet without looking at it. Instead, he looked at the gap and followed Fang Yongyi.
Yongyi said: "Secretary-General Fang, we made a decision at the beginning
I have also been training for the song "Heart to Heart" for a long time, because I pay enough attention to this Olympics, so the lyrics and notes of "Heart to Heart" are almost imprinted in my blood, whether I am awake or asleep,
They can almost recite this song backwards..."
As Zu Qing spoke, everyone in the recording studio fell silent and looked up.
Zu Qing sighed: "I know that the song "Heart to Heart" has become a big hit. This is something we didn't expect, but what we can't deny is that the overall quality of the song "Heart to Heart" is top-notch.
, and it is very in line with the theme of the Olympic Games. It took the entire production team a year to complete this song. Now, "Heart to Heart" cannot be sung. This is due to reasons. We can't say anything...
"
"Teacher Zu, I know you have resentments and thoughts in your heart. You can vent them out and speak them out. Only communication can solve the problem. Are you right?"
Fang Yongyi said with a smile.
Zu Qingdao: "I don't require the new song to have the quality of "Heart to Heart", but don't be so stupid, right? This has just been a thunderstorm, and you have a replacement work? I don't know if this is a preliminary plan. If so,
, I didn’t say it, but if it weren’t for just one day, how much better would the quality of the work that replaced “Heart to Heart” be? This is my biggest worry today.”
Fang Yongyi was not angry either. He smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, this new song will definitely satisfy you. This is a new song that Director Chen personally went to the East China Sea and invited the famous singer-songwriter Han Sen to write..."
Everyone exclaimed when they heard Han Sen's name.
Being in the music industry, Fang Yongyi has of course heard Han Sen's name and also knows about Han Sen's talent. Some Chinese-style songs, such as "Jiangnan" and "Fireworks Easily Cold", are also admired by Fang Yongyi.
, so at this moment his face became slightly pale, but he still said: "Although it is Han Sen's work, Han Sen is not good at opening and closing. What he is good at is Chinese ancient songs..."
Fang Yongyi didn't know much about creation, but he believed in his leadership, so he said, "Since Director Chen thinks it's appropriate, then it must be right. How about letting everyone take a look at the lyrics and music?"
As soon as he said this, Zu Qing didn't know what to say, so he picked up the lyrics and music score in his hand and started reading.
Although he is a professional singer, when he reads a piece of lyrics and music, he always first becomes familiar with the lyrics and then practices with the music. This is no different at this time.
I saw him put on his glasses, pick up the lyrics and music score, and start reading word by word.
When he read the first paragraph, Zu Qing was a little surprised because he saw the three words "heart to heart". Today Zu Qing hates these three words deeply.
However, as he continued to read, he suddenly felt a strange feeling that filled his whole body.
"Such simple lyrics!"
He was secretly amazed in his heart, because according to his understanding of Han Sen as a singer, the lyrics of all the songs written by Han Sen basically have a certain ancient style and depth, and rarely have such simple and clear content.
"Although it is simple, it has rich and even thick 'Chinese symbols', which is very innovative in style!"
After Zu Qing read it again, he discovered that the song was actually a combination of Chinese and English. There were 42 and 33 Chinese and English characters respectively. This surprised Zu Qing, but then he took it for granted. After all, people all over the world speak Chinese.
Although it is the largest, English speakers also account for the second largest number of people in the world. The influence of both is extremely high. Just these two languages can almost cover the entire world.
"The international color has been taken into consideration, and the lyrics also highlight the people-oriented concept. This song... is very groundbreaking!"
After Zu Qing read it again, although he was not shocked, he felt that this song was extremely suitable for the theme of the Olympic Games.
Finally, after reading it three or four times in a row, Zu Qing went to check the score. Unexpectedly, the more he watched, the more he became absorbed in it, and the more he watched, the more joyful he became. At the end, Zu Qing closed his eyes and slowly played the piece in his mind.
The lyrics and music of the song are connected one by one.
Without the hustle and bustle of other Olympic songs, this song written by Han Sen for the Olympic Games is quite comfortable and warm, and is a very bold innovation.
At this moment, everyone had roughly finished watching the new song, and they all looked at each other to see the appreciation and joy in their eyes.
"On the whole, this song is consistent with the Olympic spirit. It also highlights the people-oriented and harmonious development concepts advocated by the Beijing Olympic Games. It gives the theme song greater vitality and appeal. The lyrics in Chinese and English can also become a
Eastern and Western civilizations blend seamlessly together on this Olympic stage!"
"This song is unexpectedly good. Although it is not majestic or dramatic, it shines with the brilliance of humanity and friendship!"
"The lyrics are also very good. Although they seem very simple, if you taste them carefully, it is not difficult to find Han Sen's deep intention. It will definitely make the listener feel the harmonious beauty of the 'global village'!"
"This song is actually similar to "Heart to Heart", and the composition is quite soothing and warm, making people feel like enjoying the moonlight and breeze. The most important thing is that this song is from Korea.
Sen’s original!”
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Hansen's international influence among Chinese people is not the first, but it is definitely among the top three. He is a true international superstar. Even if he holds a concert in the West, it can attract 100,000 people.
Every venue is packed, and it’s hard to get a ticket!”
Everyone began to discuss passionately and share their opinions.
Some people even wanted to let Han Sen sing this song, but Zu Qing was in the recording studio at the moment, so he swallowed the idea of speaking out. Furthermore, Han Sen was not a high-pitched singer, and the melody of this song
And the lyrics style, it is destined that it can only be sung by a high-pitched singer.
In the midst of the discussion, Fang Yongyi breathed a sigh of relief. If so many professionals said that this song is good, then this song is really good! It is indeed Han Sen!
Just when Fang Yongyi was about to ask the singer Zu Qing what he thought, Zu Qing stood up, walked to the recording studio, put on the headset directly, and signaled the sound engineer to adjust the volume without asking for accompaniment.
In full view of everyone, he immediately started singing a cappella.
"You and I are heart to heart
Living together in the global village——"
Zu Qing's vocal condition is excellent, with a powerful and generous voice. After all, the fact that he has been able to occupy the reputation of a master singer in the Mainland for such a long time is naturally attributed to his solid basic skills.
And Zu Qing has almost no shortcomings in singing. The mid-bass is deep and powerful, with thousands of twists and turns, and the high notes are also very beautiful. Even in some evening parties, Zu Qing's voice is unusually prominent in the chorus songs of the stars.
Calm, clean and natural, he is obviously better than other singers.
This is also the reason why many singers resist cooperating with Zu Qing, because if they are not good enough, they will inevitably be reduced to background.
Even some powerful singers singing with Zu Qing on the stage will appear frivolous and artificial under the background of Zu Qing's singing. Over time, few singers will cooperate with Zu Qing, but this will invisibly help Zu Qing in the circle.
His status has increased a lot.
The most important thing is that even so, Zu Qing did not stop making progress at all.
This is very scary.
In the past twenty years, Zu Qing's singing skills have been in a state of obvious improvement. Every once in a while, new inspirations will be born, and his skills will continue to be improved, making his singing skills more sophisticated and controllable.
Stronger and cleaner sound.
Now, I have entered a state of ease and ease.
This is why the Olympic Committee searched all over the country and finally found Zu Qing to sing the Olympic theme song.
Even Han Sen's singing skills and voice are not as impressive as Zu Qinglai's.
Therefore, when Zu Qing's voice sang a new song in the recording studio, even if it was a cappella, everyone felt a kind of scalp-numbing shock.
“Travel a Thousand Miles for a Dream
Meet in the capital——"
Zu Qing's singing was very slow, even a bit like humming, but such casual humming actually gave people an inexplicable attraction.
"This singing skill is so powerful!"
"Teacher Zu Qing's live sound pressure is unrivaled. He can sing across voice-changing points and move around freely. He is simply the best singer in China!"
"I even feel that Li Ang and Han Sen's singing skills are not as good as Teacher Zu Qing's!"
"There's no need to question it, it's just not comparable. Compared to the first two who are arrogant at home and abroad, Teacher Zu Qing is like the sweeping monk in martial arts novels. He only holds music lectures in major domestic universities and rarely appears in public."
"His songs are very difficult. Many of them are interrupted by changing the voice and adding long sounds and accents. Without two brushes, I can't sing at all!"
"Yes, yes, many people cover Han Sen's songs, but few people challenge Teacher Zu Qing's songs. This is the gap!"
"You are so old and you haven't mourned yet. Teacher Zu Qing was so powerful, he is an eternal god!"
Everyone in the entire recording studio was in high spirits and praised Zu Qing's performance at this moment.
Even Fang Yongyi felt his blood boiling. Even though it was a slow song, even though it had no soundtrack, under Zu Qing's performance, it turned out to be so moving.
"Come on, friend
stretch out your hand
Me and you, heart to heart
Forever a family..."
After Zu finished singing the first half of the song a cappella, everyone was surprised when he suddenly got stuck.
Everyone looked over and wondered why Zu Qing didn't continue singing.
Zu Qing took off his headset, coughed, and explained: "I don't know English."
"..."
Everyone was silent.
Because in addition to the more than 40 Chinese words in the lyrics, there are indeed more than 30 English words in the lyrics.
Although Zu Qing does not know English, he can indeed sing this section in English through repeated contact and recitation as long as the need arises later. But unfortunately, at present, Zu Qing cannot sing the entire song directly.
Fang Yongyi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. In fact, this song itself requires two singers, one male and one female, to sing duet. The male voice is naturally Teacher Zu Qing, and the female voice, we will make a decision after careful discussion!"
Zu Qing nodded and agreed to Fang Yongyi's suggestion of a male and female chorus.
At this time, a staff member asked: "Teacher Zu Qing, can you comment on this song "You and Me"? We want to know your opinion."
Everyone else also nodded.
When Zu Qing heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "I take back what I just said. This song "Me and You" is indeed better than I imagined. Even if compared to "Heart to Heart", it is actually not much better."
let."
"It is undeniable that in the history of the Olympic Games, there have been many exquisite and high-quality products that have emerged. There are many products that have endured for many years. Even their lyrics and melody far surpass this song "You and Me"
"!"
"Those works, both in melody and lyrics, have typical Western characteristics of enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, which are very different from the style of this song "You and Me"."
After hearing Zu Qing's comments, everyone became quiet. Some of them might be Han Sen's fans. They looked dissatisfied at the moment, but they didn't dare to argue with Zu Qing. They could only complain secretly that Zu Qing didn't understand appreciation and was a bit picky.
bone.
But then, Zu Qing's words made everyone think deeply.
"However, as the theme song of the Olympic Games, the composition must take into account the culture and history of the country."
Zu Qing said: "Chinese culture is euphemistic, subtle, calm and eclectic, especially when facing distinguished guests from afar and participating in major international conferences. This is clearly reflected in the Chinese culture, so there is no need to echo the enthusiasm of Westerners. "You and Me"
"It has our own characteristics and the unique humanistic care of the Chinese people. It does not apply to the Olympic Games of any other country except China. It is only suitable for China. This is what is special and even successful about "Me and You"
!”
Zu Qing's words were resounding, and even excitement appeared on his face, obviously he recognized the song "You and Me" very much.
Everyone in the recording studio cheered loudly when they heard it.
Fang Yongyi was in high spirits and hurriedly took the lead in applauding: "It's so well said. It analyzes the essence and goes straight to the heart. We don't need to cater to others, we can only be ourselves!"
"Yes, we just do ourselves!"
Everyone looked excited and applauded for Zu Qing and Fang Yongyi's speeches.
