Zheng Qian is not talking nonsense. There are indeed many songs describing Qinghai and Tibet. The most famous one is "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", which is the ultimate killer song that is invincible in the music world.
Of course, in addition to "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", "Get on the Train to Lazarus", which is very suitable for this moment, is also very convenient to be spread by word of mouth and is popular in the world. It meets the song content and dissemination conditions required by Secretary Xing.
The destination of this trip was Lhasa Station. Zheng Qian did what he said and immediately began to write the lyrics of "Get on the Train to Lhasa".
The lyrics of this song are only a little over a hundred words in total. Zheng Qian wrote it very quickly. Secretary Xing and the other three looked at Zheng Qian writing without disturbing him. Lou Jun even thought that Zheng Qian would have to think about it for a long time.
, it will be written in front of Lhasa Station at least an hour later.
After all, good songs are not cabbage and cannot be created anytime and anywhere.
So they each looked at each other and prepared to leave the carriage, leaving Zheng Qian to create quietly alone.
Who would have thought that just when he turned around, he heard a "It's done!"
Lou Jun turned around in surprise: "What happened?"
Zheng Qian flicked the notepad in his hand and said with a smile: "It's done. This song is called "Get on the Train to Lhasa"."
Secretary Xing was stunned, then laughed and shook his head, then his face turned slightly serious: "Comrade Zheng Qian, I am not kidding you."
Zheng Qian nodded: "Yeah, I'm not kidding. It's really written. If you don't believe me, read it."
As Zheng Qian handed over the notepad, Secretary Xing's face became more serious.
Seeing this, Lou Jun quickly stepped forward to take the notepad and looked at it with a worried look, but soon, he said "Huh".
This voice immediately attracted the attention of Old Chentou next to him. The latter couldn't help but be curious. He walked up and leaned next to Lou Jun. He took a few glances and suddenly said in surprise: "Good guy, it's really written."
, Secretary Xing, come and take a look."
"Yes, Secretary Xing, take a look, Comrade Zheng Qian's creative skills can still be trusted." Lou Jun said with a smile, his solemn expression clearly relaxed a lot.
Secretary Xing was also a little surprised. He stepped forward and took the notepad. Looking at the flying handwriting on it, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times. He glanced at Zheng Qian subconsciously, thinking that Comrade Zheng Qian looked quite good.
Handsome, why does the font look like it has been chewed by a dog...
However, he could roughly distinguish the form and meaning, so Secretary Xing began to recite it silently in his mind.
"How high are the mountains and how long is the water?
The road to heaven is too difficult
Finally the longed for it, this heavenly road
Like a giant dragon flying on the plateau
Across the grassland, across the mountains and rivers
Carrying dreams and good luck
Happy song, sing all the way
Singing to Tanggula Mountain
…”
Just by reading the lyrics, I can't understand the general rhythm at all, but the lyrics are quite pleasing to the eye. Although Secretary Xing doesn't understand the music, he can still see the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from these lyrics, so he can't help but
He nodded and said, "Zheng Qian, can you teach me a few words?"
When Zheng Qian heard this, he nodded cheerfully: "Of course, come on, you can sing with me -
Got on the train to Lhasa
Go see the magical Potala
Let’s go see the most beautiful Gesang flowers
Blooming under the snow-capped mountains..."
"..."
Secretary Xing listened to this beautiful singing and looked at Zheng Qian's hearty smile, and for a moment he was deeply moved.
Lou Jun was surprised and said for the first time: "It's not bad! Even if I don't understand music, I can still hear how good this song is."
Old Chentou said with a smile: "It's catchy and easy to spread. Not only the lyrics, but also the title of the song are very memorable - take the train to have a bowel movement, it's amazing!"
Secretary Xing was speechless at this time. The chorus that Zheng Qian had just sung a cappella still seemed to be echoing in his ears. He felt that it was both kind and familiar, as if he had heard it countless times, just like Old Chen Tou.
As I said, this song is indeed catchy. Even after listening to it only once, Secretary Xing could faintly sing a line or two.
So he actually sang it.
"Took the train to Lhasa
Go see that magical Potala——"
Lou Jun and Lao Chentou immediately applauded and praised.
Zheng Qian glanced at these two sycophants, sighed, and finally joined the applause camp.
Secretary Xing instantly glowed and kept nodding his head in praise: "Good! Good! It's really good!"
"Comrade Zheng Qian is really talented. He was able to write such an excellent song in just a few minutes. He has made a huge contribution to the fantasy of our Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the promotion of Lhasa City. On behalf of Qinghai-Tibet
All the people of the province thank Comrade Zheng Qian for his efforts for Qinghai-Tibet Province!"
Zheng Qian listened to these beautiful words and opened his mouth. In the end, he did not say any nonsense about asking for copyright fees, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's all thanks to Secretary Xing."
Secretary Xing waved his hand: "Comrade Zheng Qian, you are very humble as your name suggests, but what does this matter have to do with me? Your credit is your credit, and the future development of Qinghai-Tibet may be in the future.
I can’t live without you, Comrade Zheng Qian!”
Zheng Qian was frightened when he heard this.
Why does it feel like you're tying me to this thief's ship?
Lou Jun looked at Zheng Qian with a smile from the side: "I have always heard from Lou Ze that Comrade Zheng Qian is very talented. When I saw you today, it turned out to be extraordinary. I know you like the scenery here in Qinghai-Tibet, so I found one for you in Lhasa.
Guide, he will take you to visit the scenery of Lhasa. If you need anything, you can contact us at the right time. By the way, this is the director of the Qinghai-Tibet Tourism Development Department, Comrade Chen Guanghan."
When Zheng Qian heard this, he shook hands with the little old man next to him again and said, "I have admired you for a long time."
Chen Guanghan chuckled, "I have long admired your name, Comrade Zheng Qian. If you come to Qinghai and Tibet in the future, say hello to me. No matter what kind of guide you need, I will find the right person for you as soon as possible."
"
Zheng Qian thanked him repeatedly.
After finishing the lyrics, Zheng Qian took the time to write out the musical notation. With about ten minutes left before arriving at the station, all the lyrics and music scores had been written out. Secretary Xing held the two thin pieces of paper and couldn't laugh or cry:
"Comrade Zheng Qian, we don't understand music, so we still need your help with this matter, but don't worry, we in Qinghai-Tibet Province will not pay you any less of the copyright fees you should pay."
Zheng Qian was overjoyed, but said with a very serious face: "Serving the people is what our cadres should do of course. Secretary Xing, this song is my gift to the Qinghai and Tibetan people."
"I'm very pleased that you have such a heart. However, such things should be handled in a business-like manner, and cadres also need to eat rice, oil and salt!" Secretary Xing smiled and patted Zheng Qian on the shoulder: "Let's do it, I make the decision.
I will personally pay 5,000 yuan for this song, and then Comrade Zheng Qian, you can come and sing the song in person, and I will give you another 1,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan, or 6,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Zheng Qian's expression suddenly froze.
Lou Jun almost laughed. He naturally knew the value of Zheng Qian's works and the performance fees. However, seeing Secretary Xing's cunning look on his face, he knew that this was just to tease Comrade Zheng Qian, so he did not persuade him.
.
Zheng Qian also had a look of righteousness on his face at this time: "Secretary Xing, it is our mission to contribute to the party and the country. I am willing to donate this song to the Qinghai and Tibetan people for free. However, compared to singing this song, I
I think it would be better to hand this song over to a singer I know, Comrade Wei Yehong, who is also a cadre of our literary and art system."
Wei Yehong is also well-known in the art troupe and the General Political Department. Secretary Xing has obviously heard of this person, so he nodded and said: "Well, it would be good to let Comrade Ye Hong sing, but in this regard, Comrade Zheng Qian also needs you to take part in the singing."
It’s coordinated!”
"Definitely, definitely." Zheng Qian said quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the train whistle sounded and Lazar arrived at the station.
There were no passengers getting off the bus outside the window, and the entire platform was filled with heavily armed security personnel.
Zheng Qian stood on the platform, watching the three important figures leave, and then quickly picked up the phone and dialed his teacher Lou Ze's number.
This time, Lou Ze's call was answered quickly: "Qian'er?"
"Teacher, I just encountered something." Zheng Qian quickly told what had just happened.
Lou Ze was silent for a moment: "Lou Jun is my second uncle, and he is now the director of the Qinghai-Tibet Development and Reform Commission."
Zheng Qian's heart suddenly thought, this is also a big shot. When he thought of the three big shots he met on this trip, Zheng Qian couldn't help but sigh. This was really calculated without any intention. The energy of the big shot was indeed extraordinary.
You can move yourself into the same carriage willingly without anyone noticing.
The key is that these three actors are pretty good at acting, and their identities were only revealed when they were about to get off the bus.
Fortunately, I had been polite when I got in the car and didn't cause any conflict with the three of them.
However, it is always a good thing to get to know them, especially before leaving, Secretary Xing took Zheng Qian's hand and acknowledged the favor with a smile. Zheng Qian felt that even if the "Get on the Train to Poop" episode was
Giving the song to the other party for free is a guaranteed profit.
Who knows what role this favor will play in the future?
no one knows.
But Zheng Qian could predict Secretary Xing's future institutional path. He had already become the top leader of Qinghai-Tibet Province in his early 50s and 60s, and during his tenure he built the world-famous Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Zheng Qian felt that Secretary Xing might be a leader in the future.
A certain node produces some unpredictable effects.
Of course, Zheng Qian himself will not be discouraged, because he can stand up and speak with these people, and he is already a big shot in his own right.
When he thought of this, Zheng Qian's heart still swelled slightly.
Immediately, he called Wei Yehong and informed him that he had written a new song called "Get on the Train to Poop" and was going to let Wei Yehong sing it.
Wei Yehong's previous song "Heavenly Road" has received a good response, but unfortunately it was not well received and the popularity of the song was not up to standard. This time "Get on the Train to Lazarus" is obviously a popular song, so Zheng
Qian was ready to push Wei Yehong again.
When Wei Yehong learned the news, her reaction was unremarkable.
But thinking about it, at Wei Yehong's stage, she already has almost enough status and wealth. Although it is not as good as the previous ones, it is definitely more than the inferior ones. In the entire music world, Wei Yehong belongs to the senior level. As long as she puts down her figure and goes
Participating in variety shows or serving as a judge on talent shows can earn you a salary that many people cannot imagine.
But Wei Yehong had no such idea. During this period, in addition to her singing career, she also studied Buddhism in her spare time.
Hearing that Zheng Qian came to Lhasa, Wei Yehong said out loud: "I am in Qinghai-Tibet, um, Jokhang Temple."
Zheng Qian was stunned. The Jokhang Temple is located in the old city of Lhasa.
What a coincidence!
So the two made an appointment at a time and place, and planned to meet later to discuss the details of the song "Get on the Train to Poop".
At this time, the guide introduced by Chen Guanghan, the head of the Qinghai-Tibet Tourism Development Department, also came over. When he arrived, a gust of fragrance instantly hit his nostrils, like the smell of some well-known shampoo on the market.
Zheng Qian raised his head and looked at the girl wearing a sunhat in front of him.
"Hello, Comrade Zheng Qian, Director Chen has entrusted me to be your guide. My name is Gu Panqing. You can call me Xiao Gu or Qing'er."
Gu Panqing was carrying a backpack and smiling like an ordinary college student, especially her eyes, which made her smile look like a crescent moon. When she opened her mouth, she revealed a pair of white little tiger teeth: "Don't worry, I'm a tourism major."
Yes, although I am not old, no matter where you want to go in Qinghai-Tibet, I can take you safely."
Zheng Qian nodded: "Sorry to trouble you, let's go to the Jokhang Temple now."
Jokhang Temple?
Gu Panqing blinked and said cheerfully: "It seems that Comrade Zheng Qian came to Lhasa after making travel plans in advance. Well, I will take you to the Jokhang Temple right now."
The Jokhang Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple located in the center of the old city. It was built by Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo. The reason why Lhasa is known as the "Holy Land" is also related to this Buddha statue.
It has a history of more than 1,300 years, integrating Tibetan, Tang, Nepalese, and Indian architectural styles and becoming an eternal model of Tibetan religious architecture. It has the supreme status in Tibetan Buddhism.
No matter where they are, many Buddhists and believers make a lifelong wish to come here to worship.
On the way to the Jokhang Temple, we can often see believers kneeling down, very pious.
This was the first time Zheng Qian knew that Wei Yehong believed in Buddhism, but when he thought that Wei Yehong was still alone in his thirties and was in the entertainment industry, he actually understood in his heart.
However, if you believe in Buddhism, you cannot bring little Azi with you.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen Pan Zi for a long time. I have been busy with my schedule during this period, and I finally had some free time, but I went out to travel alone.
Alas, it seems that I am really not a good father.
I must find time to take care of my children later.
