Zheng Qian advanced to the top ten in the Beijing competition area and has already obtained a ticket to the recording of "Chinese Idol" on Hunan Satellite TV.
According to the program team, Zheng Qian will go to Hunan Satellite TV in early July to start recording the first episode of the program, and the program team will reimburse travel, food and accommodation expenses throughout the entire process.
Prior to this, Zheng Qian also co-produced a set of promotional videos for "Chinese Idol", which will be played repeatedly on Shonan Satellite TV in the next half month.
Finally breaking out of the regional competition and entering the national competition, Zheng Qian felt relieved.
In the next half month, his schedule was extremely busy.
First, he accompanied Taiwanese pop diva Zhang Yuxuan to shoot the MVs for "Happy Worship" and "Have to Love", and also completed the task of recruiting songs assigned by the General Political Department.
"Soldiers" was reduced to an alternative because it was not passionate enough. Zheng Qian wanted to rewrite a military recruitment song, preferably a cantata.
According to the request of the General Secretary, he immediately thought of "When That Day Comes" because this song was also the song he was going to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival condolences performance, so he took the time to give the lyrics and music of this song to Yang Hongyi
, let him hand it over.
Finally, there is the Dragon Boat Festival condolence performance. He will fly to the Guangdong Province Airborne Army to tour various camps.
So in the past half month, Zheng Qian made a special trip to the Beijing Opera and Dance Theater for rehearsals.
In addition to "When That Day Comes", Zheng Qian will also sing "For Whom", a song that is popular all over the country. Going to Guangdong Province to perform with Zheng Qian is the little old man Zhang Aimin of Suona.
What surprised Zheng Qian was that the piece prepared by Zhang Aimin was "March of Steel Torrent", but he changed it into a suona version.
When Zhang Aimin saw the real host, he also had a guilty look on his face. He smiled apologetically and said, "I don't know why, but after you played Torrent of Steel that day, I kept thinking about this piece of music for many days. Later, I asked my comrades in art troupe to ask for it."
Here comes the music score, sorry little brother, I changed it to suona without your consent..."
But not to mention, Zhang Aimin's suona version of "Steel Torrent", although less majestic and solemn, is still majestic.
The most important thing is that the sound of the suona is quite domineering, which makes this "March of Steel Torrent" full of radicalness and aggression.
Zheng Qian was sighing to himself when he suddenly heard "March of Steel Torrent" again in other rehearsal halls of the Opera and Dance Theatre.
But this time, it turned out to be the Erhu version!
Seeing Zheng Qian's surprised look, Zhang Aimin chuckled, "I'm not the only one who feels the same way. After listening to you playing "Steel Torrent" that day, many teachers followed you like a demon and practiced this song like crazy. In addition to guitars and pianos,
In addition to conventional musical instruments, there are also erhu, accordion, harmonica, bamboo flute, ocarina, cave flute and so on. You can listen carefully..."
Zheng Qian was shocked.
"Everyone is preparing to perform this piece at this condolences performance..."
Zhang Aimin puffed out his flat chest and said proudly: "Everyone says that this is the march song of the Chinese people, and you feel confident when you play it!"
"However, if you want to hear the most authentic version, you still have to watch the version from the Comrades Art Troupe. They not only prepared a symphony orchestra but also a choir for this song. Although they did not participate in this condolence performance, they have
In a few days, we will go out with the leaders for official visits, and we believe that this music will be heard in every corner of the world in the near future!"
Zhang Aimin's eyes turned red with excitement as he spoke, showing pride from the bottom of his heart.
Before "March of Steel Torrent", many domestic red arrangements were too old-fashioned and lacked new ideas, emphasizing restraint, but "March of Steel Torrent" was different. It emphasized external play, and the music contained new elements.
The overwhelming spirit and courageous vitality of the people's army of the times.
It can resonate more with contemporary people.
Zheng Qian followed the sound of the music and went to the other two rehearsal halls, listening to the accordion performance, dongxiao performance and erhu performance respectively. The expressiveness of each version was different, but the core idea remained the same - I am the best in the world!
After seeing Zheng Qian's arrival, many cadres came over to greet him warmly and asked Zheng Qian if he had any new inspiration in the past few days, such as the Second March of Steel Torrent, or another Storm March or something.
Zheng Qian felt like a lamb in a wolf's den for several years, weak, pitiful and helpless.
Just when Zheng Qian was actively rehearsing, news came from the company that the scheduled trip to Taipei was immediately cancelled, but the MV recording to Singapore and South Korea could proceed smoothly.
After asking, I learned that because Zheng Qian belongs to the Air Force Civil Service Corps and is an active military soldier in the mainland, although he is a civilian and does not belong to the classified system, it is applicable to the management principle of "moderate relaxation and effective control". However, due to regional antagonisms
, so even though the mainland granted special permission, Taiwan refused Zheng Qian’s entry.
This made Zheng Qian very regretful, as the five hundred thousand he received was just gone.
Even Zhang Yuxuan was quite angry, "There is no such thing as freedom and democracy, it's all fake democracy."
Zheng Qian was frightened. This girl really dared to say anything. Fortunately, Twitter and Weibo are not popular at the moment, otherwise you would definitely become the victim of a warrior.
Next, Zheng Qian flew to Singapore with Zhang Yuxuan's team and filmed the "Have to Love" MV in a rented bay villa.
The two played a pair of lovers who broke up, and the scene was quite artistic. Zheng Qian endured the discomfort caused by the aesthetic differences of the times and wore the clothes prepared by the director's team - black overalls, red sneakers, and a white shirt.
I flirted with Zhang Yuxuan in front of the camera.
Zhang Yuxuan's clothes are even more stunning, with suspenders and ripped jeans...
In addition, they also have to sing or lip-sync, and they also have to look at each other almost face to face, occasionally turning into cross-eyes, and the two laugh several times.
Zheng Qian was also asked to perform a hip-hop solo.
This is not difficult. Zheng Qian used to be a singing and dancing artist. During this period, he has not fallen behind in fitness. His muscle reactions are also present. He can easily handle simple lock dances, floor or mechanical dances. He cannot compare with those masters, but
It's more than enough to shoot a MV.
Due to the simple scene layout and the clear relationship between the characters, it only took one day to shoot the MV for "Have to Love", and the rest was just editing.
The next day, the two left Singapore and flew to South Korea.
Zheng Qian felt a little emotionally resistant when he set foot on this land again. He even saw the familiar Myeongdong Commercial Street in Seoul and Hongdae Pedestrian Street. The entire street is a public performance venue, and many celebrities and idols will also perform here.
, but most of the time, they are performed by dancers at the trainee level.
When Zheng Qian was taking classes at Seoul University of Literature and Art, he would practice here with a group of trainee dancers for a while. Later, Zheng Qian couldn't wait until he could make his mark, so he gradually withdrew from such practice stages.
But it’s daytime now, and Hongdae Pedestrian Street is not just a tourist, but tourists. As the Korean wave invades the whole of Asia, the East Asian countries that have been invaded by culture have no power to resist, so many Korean and Korean fans have been born.
In areas like Myeongdong and Hongdae Pedestrian Street, which are full of business and nightclub style, because you can often meet celebrities, they have become popular areas where tens of thousands of tourists rush to visit and check-in. Mainland China has the largest population among them. After all,
The base is too large.
The nightclub booked by Zhang Yuxuan's team is a relatively well-known venue near Hongdae. The director team directly invited some local people to join the lively atmosphere for free. In addition, they also invited professional team dancers to accompany them. Zheng Qian only had to follow and complete a few
Just a simple action.
"YO, the afro is looking at the spring breeze
Swing left and right, finger up and down
You may not be able to experience it on black and white TV
But I believe you can realize the black humor..."
Zheng Qian's lip-syncing was so correct that his mouth was numb.
The entire nightclub was also playing the song "Happy Worship" on a loop, starting a brainwashing loop mode.
At the end of the night, everyone was almost sick from hearing it, but we finally managed to shoot some of the footage.
The next day, the director team went to various places in South Korea to shoot the scene, and the three-day MV shooting task was completed.
Due to the cancellation of the singing competition in Taipei, the cooperation between Zheng Qian and Zhang Yuxuan has also come to an end.
Zhang Yuxuan was quite reluctant to leave. Before leaving, she said in a loud voice: "Xiao Qianqian, don't miss me, I will be back soon!"
Zheng Qian almost vomited out the food he had eaten last night. He waved his hand to Zhang Yuxuan, turned around with a ruthless back, and left a poem that Zhang Yuxuan would never forget:
"A lonely shadow on the cold river, an old friend in the rivers and lakes, why should we meet before?"
