226 The Olympic bid is successful, and China is boiling
"I will spend my whole life supporting you
I just hope you will stop your wandering eyes
Please give me the power to love and be loved infinitely
Allow me to meditate quietly under Bodhi with peace of mind
…”
After Hu Jing finished singing a section with her eyes closed, she looked at Cao Xuan outside the glass wall of the recording studio. Cao Xuan put down the headphones on his head, gave her a thumbs up, and then waved her out.
"How about it?"
"The singing is very good. I think I have enough material. I can record it a few times and it will be almost done. But I still practice more when I have nothing to do. It will be useful for future performances."
"Uh-huh."
Hu Jing also had some vocal training in the Chinese Opera, and her voice condition is not bad. This song is actually not difficult. It was easy to win during the surprise training.
Cao Xuan also has no intention of letting Hu Jing develop in the music industry, but she has a masterpiece song, and she can usually have performances and fan meetings wherever she goes, and she can also have a talent show.
There are celebrities in the entertainment industry who have given similar explanations, which roughly means
Sometimes during commercial performances or meetings with fans, actors can't perform a scene live. Just talking may not necessarily be as eloquent, and it's dry and insincere, so singing is a good method.
Moreover, the release of a few good singles will also help the artist's popularity. In the case of Hu Jing, most people like Cao Xuan are too lazy to "write".
"Have you finished recording over there?"
"Today's work is done. I plan to talk to Lao Chen about the album MV."
"Will you play the leading role in "Chi Ling"?"
"I haven't decided yet. I'll ask the Peking Opera teacher for advice first to see if it works. If it works, I'll do it. If it doesn't, I'll find someone to replace me."
Cao Xuan gets a headache when he mentions this. The previously scheduled music video for "Chi Ling" was originally intended to feature Zeng Li.
Later, I felt that Zeng Li was a woman. This does not mean that women cannot be patriotic, but that many people would understand that she could not bear the humiliation and therefore burned the theater, which would dilute part of the patriotic sentiments that were originally intended to be expressed.
Well, actually it was an author who checked the wrong information and tried to smooth things over...
But there is indeed a reason for the above. Male dan is relatively more impactful than female dan.
Zeng couldn't live without her, so Cao Xuan intended to break up the relationship himself, but a problem arose.
First of all, he is tall, which is not bad. Lao Zhao's apprentice, Wang Yonghui, who is also Li Yugang's master, is nearly 1.9 meters tall and is still the tallest in Guandong.
The most critical reason is that although Cao Xuan also studied opera with Teacher Zeng, he is still just an amateur, and his figure and charm are not even the slightest bit worse than those Huadans who have worked hard on stage for ten years.
He has to give him a few months to practice hard for a period of time. Cao Xuan is confident that he can imitate well, but now there is not enough time. It only takes a few months to complete the full training. Cao Xuan really does not have much confidence.
That is to say, this is a MV, it is short in length, and the editing is relatively scattered, but it is about the same. If it were to be a film and television, Cao Xuan would just give up.
So now I am preparing with both hands. While Cao Xuan is practicing first, I will find a substitute at the same time.
"Chi Ling" has nothing to do with Zeng Li and Hu Jing, whether it's him as the lead or the actor. There are a few other songs, but not many.
Zeng Li's "Blue and White Porcelain", Hu Jing's "East Wind Breaks", and "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow" only need to show a slight face. "Lanling Moon" does not even need to show his face, Cao Xuan can just express his memories alone.
Now Cao Xuan plans to finalize several songs for the next album, and then shoot all the MVs for these two albums in one go, so as to save several people the inconvenience and trouble of having to go back to schedule.
………
The two quietly left the recording studio. After staying here for a long time, Cao Xuan already knew where there was a back door and where to escape. As long as he wanted to, it would be easy to get rid of the paparazzi.
Not to mention, there may not be any paparazzi coming to follow him today.
After leaving the recording studio, Cao Xuan drove to a restaurant, made some extra food with Hu Jing, and then went directly to the CCTV headquarters.
Today is July 13, the day when the International Olympic Committee announces the venue for the 2008 Olympic Games in Moscow.
CCTV gathered a large group of artists and people to gather in the studio to support the Olympic bid. Cao Xuan and Hu Jing also received the invitation and came with them.
In fact, judging from this cheering, the higher-ups are confident in this Olympic bid, otherwise it would not be such a big deal.
But then again, the past few times were profound and the movement was not small. Especially in 1993, there were various publicity campaigns and a 100-star concert, but the result was still unsuccessful.
From this point of view, if the International Olympic Committee does not make an official announcement, everyone will not be able to let go.
In the studio, most of the famous and well-known artists from the capital gathered together, many times more than the people at the Spring Festival Gala.
In normal times, Cao Xuan might have led Hu Jing to make some connections, but today, no one was in such a mood, and the entire studio was filled with a depressing atmosphere of nervous anticipation.
Cao Xuan, who was already confident, was also affected by the environment, and his heart began to pound.
Not to mention Hu Jing, her body was tense. Cao Xuan quietly pulled her hand to relieve her emotions.
"No problem, don't worry, you will definitely win."
Around 9 o'clock in the evening, voting officially began in Moscow, and CCTV also switched the live broadcast, and the camera was focused on the Chinese Olympic bid delegation.
There are several familiar faces inside, including Gong Li, Yang Lan, Lao Mouzi, Lang Ping, Deng Yaping and other Olympic champions.
In fact, the Olympic Bid Committee had previously intended for Cao Xuan to go, and Cao Xuan was willing and ready to pack his bags, but later he was dropped due to various reasons.
Putting aside other external factors, the most important thing is lack of influence.
Yang Lan is the spokesperson, Deng Yaping and the others are sports representatives, Lao Mouzi is the director of promotional videos and related ceremonies, and Gong Li is an international movie star. There are few mainland artists with widespread influence on the international scale.
Cao Xuan is relatively well-known in Asia, but it is still weaker internationally.
The Olympic Bid Committee also has its own considerations. After all, it is bidding to host the Olympic Games. It cannot blindly pile up celebrities, otherwise it will drag Cheng Long and Jet Li away.
For Cao Xuan, it's best if he can contribute, but if he can't, he can just cheer quietly at home.
Those Olympic Committee members on the camera, voting and counting the votes, the whole process was boring, but it made the hundreds of millions of Chinese viewers in front of the TV tightly twitch together.
The entire CCTV studio was silent, and everyone was staring intently at the few old white and black men who were counting the votes.
The only sound that sounded at the scene was the professional translations of several hosts coming from the TV at the same time. Although they were still calm, a trace of nervousness could still be heard.
Around 10 o'clock, after two rounds of voting, it was finally time to announce the results. When Samaranch picked up the envelope and went on stage to read it out, Cao Xuan could almost feel the entire studio suffocating for a moment.
And throughout the land of China, which covers more than 9.6 million square kilometers, everyone is staring at the screen in front of them in school dormitories, residents' homes, hospital wards, street stalls, squares and gathering places with many people.
Even in overseas countries, many overseas students, overseas Chinese and even people from other countries are paying attention to this moment.
Samaranch opened the envelope and slowly read under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes: "The city hosting the 29th Olympic Games is the best."
There was a host translating in the front, but as soon as those last two words came out, the host went crazy, and all Chinese people no longer needed him to translate.
The old man's somewhat weird accent became the most beautiful voice in the hearts of Chinese people at this moment.
The studio of CCTV has been in a state of commotion. Some people raised their hands and shouted wildly, shouting at the top of their lungs, but they didn’t know what they were shouting. Some people laughed and let their bodies go wild. Some people cried with joy and hugged their heads and cried. Anyway, everyone was venting their hearts to their heart’s content.
of excitement and excitement.
Hu Jing happily hugged Cao Xuan and gave her a kiss. She immediately realized that there was a live broadcast. Just as she was about to let go, Cao Xuan grabbed her and held her up to celebrate.
At this time, who cares about scandals? Everything can be attributed to excitement and there is no need to worry so much.
The studio was filled with cheers, and in the capital, countless people came out of their homes and gathered on the streets to celebrate wildly.
Within half an hour, 400,000 people gathered in the main square, Chang'an Street was packed to the brim, and the China Millennium Monument started with a well-prepared celebration.
After coming out of the studio, Cao Xuan did not participate in other celebrations. He took Hu Jing with him. The two of them wore masks and walked hand in hand from CCTV to home.
This home is not an apartment in Tongzhou. Hu Jing's parents come to Beijing to visit from time to time. It is inconvenient for Cao Xuan to stay for a long time. Moreover, through the news from Fengyun Studio, it seems that the media has noticed this house.
Therefore, Hu Jing and Cao Xuan decisively "moved" and temporarily placed their love nest in the small house that Hu Jing had bought before, where they lived during this period.
The streets were full of people, singing, dancing, cheering, and running around carrying flags. It was very lively.
The owners of some food stalls, supermarkets and bars, half sell and half give away, take the drinks and beer in the store and distribute them everywhere.
Cao Xuan and the others walked along this way and collected several bottles of beer, drinks, and some snacks. They didn't want them if they didn't want them, and the boss didn't want to be impatient.
Chinese people of different professions, different ages, and different genders are all celebrating their victory.
The Chinese have been waiting for this moment for too long. The entire 1990s were basically spent on the word "bidding for the Olympics."
This is not something that those who later experienced the rise of great powers can relate to. The desire to be recognized internationally and to rectify China's name is mixed with too many emotions and expectations.
This is not just a single Olympic Games, but a shot in the arm for the entire nation.
Cao Xuan originally thought that he would be calmer if he knew the result in advance, but actually at this moment, he felt the same and could not suppress his excitement and joy.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of being famous, he would really like to follow these people and run around carrying the flag together.
The night of July 13, 2001 is destined to be a historic moment remembered by countless people...
This night, the whole country celebrates!
This night, China was in a state of excitement!
This night, I had no sleep all night!
And the Chinese people's memory of the Olympic Games also opened a new chapter from this night...
