Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

In the recording studio, Fang Yongyi, deputy director of the Olympic Committee and secretary-general of the Publicity Office of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, saw Zu Qing who had arrived late, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zu is here, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at the others: "Everyone make room for Teacher Zu. Since everyone is here, let's start immediately."

A staff member immediately distributed the lyrics and music score that had just been received and printed to everyone present. Each character was marked quite large, so that everyone could understand it at a glance.

Zu Qing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing that Fang Yongyi didn't give him room to speak, he snorted coldly, took the lyrics and music score, but didn't look at it, but looked at the gap and talked to Fang Yongyi. Yongyi said: "Secretary-General Fang, we decided on the song "Heart to Heart". In my blood, whether I am awake or asleep, I can almost recite this song backwards..."

Following Zu Qing's opening, everyone in the recording studio fell silent and looked up.

Zu Qing sighed and said, "I know that the song "Heart to Heart" is a hit, which we did not expect, but what we cannot deny is that the overall quality of the song "Heart to Heart" is top-notch. Yes, 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" can't be sung. There is a reason for this, and we can't say anything... "

"Teacher Zu, I know that you have resentment 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 Qing said: "I don't require the new song to have the quality of "Heart to Heart", but don't be so foolish, right? This is just a thunderstorm, and you have a replacement work? I don't know if this is a preliminary plan, if it is , When I didn’t say it, but if it’s not, how can the quality of the work of “Heart to Heart” be replaced in just one day? This is my biggest worry today.”

Fang Yongyi was not angry either, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, this new song will definitely satisfy you. This is a new song that Director Chen personally went to Donghai and invited the famous singer-songwriter Han Sen to compose..."

Everyone exclaimed when they heard Han Sen's name.

In the music scene, Fang Yongyi has of course heard Han Sen's name, and he also knows Han Sen's talent. Some Chinese-style songs, such as "Jiangnan" and "Fireworks Are Cold", Fang Yongyi also appreciates them very much. , so at this moment his face was a little pale, but he still said: "Although it is Han Sen's work, Han Sen is not good at opening and closing. He is good at ancient Chinese songs..."

Fang Yongyi didn't know anything about creation, but he believed in the leadership, so he said: "Since Director Chen thinks it's suitable, then he can't go wrong, or let everyone look at the lyrics and music?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zu Qing couldn't say anything more, picked up the lyrics and music score in his hand and started to read.

Although he is a professional singer, when looking at a lyrics and music score, he always gets acquainted with the lyrics first, and then practice with the score, and it is the same at this time. …

I saw him put on his glasses, picked up the lyrics and score, and began to read word by word.

When he read the first paragraph, Zu Qing was a little surprised, because he saw the three words "heart to heart", and now Zu Qing hates these three words.

However, as he continued to read, he felt a strange feeling all over his body.

"So simple lyrics!"

He secretly marveled in his heart, because according to his understanding of the singer Han Sen, the lyrics of all songs composed 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 strong and even heavy 'Chinese symbols', which is very innovative in style!"
After Zu Qing read it again, he found that the song was actually a combination of Chinese and English, each consisting of 42 characters and 33 characters. This surprised Zu Qing, but then he took it for granted. After all, people who speak Huaxia all over the world Although it is the most, English speakers also occupy the second largest number of people in the world. The influence of both is extremely high. Only these two languages ​​can almost cover the whole world.

"The international color has been taken into account. In terms of lyrics, it also highlights the concept of people-oriented. This song... is very breakthrough!"

After Zu Qing watched it once, although he didn't feel shocked, he felt that this song was very 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. Who knew that the more he read it, the more he sank into it, and the more he read it, the happier he became. In the end, Zu Qing closed his eyes and slowly played the score in his mind The lyrics and music of the song are connected one by one.

Without the hustle and bustle of other Olympic songs, the song Han Sen wrote for the Olympics is quite comfortable and warm, and it is a very bold innovation.

At this moment, everyone has roughly finished watching the new song, and glanced at each other to see the appreciation and joy in their eyes.

"On the whole, this song is consistent with the Olympic spirit, and it also highlights the concept of people-oriented and harmonious development advocated by the Beijing Olympic Games, which endows the theme song with stronger vitality and appeal. The Eastern and Western civilizations blend in harmony on the stage of this Olympic Games!"

"This song is surprisingly good. Although there is no majesty or grandeur, it still shines with the brilliance of humanity and love!"

"The lyrics are also very good. Although it looks very simple, it is not difficult to find Han Sen's deep intentions. 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, which can make people feel like enjoying the moonlight and the breeze. Most importantly, this song is from Han Mori's original!"

"Han Sen's international influence is not the number one among the Chinese, but he can definitely be ranked in the top three. He is a real international superstar. Even if he holds a concert in the West, even if it is 10 people Even the venues are full, and tickets are hard to come by!"

Everyone began to discuss enthusiastically, expressing their opinions.

Some people even wanted Han Sen to sing this song, but Zu Qing was in the recording studio at the moment, so he swallowed the idea of ​​saying it. Besides, Han Sen is not a high-pitched singer, the tune of this song And the style of the lyrics, it is destined that it can only be sung by high-pitched singers. …

Amidst the discussions, Fang Yongyi breathed a sigh of relief. If so many professionals said that this song is good, then this song is really good!As expected of Han Sen!
Just when Fang Yongyi was about to ask the singer Zu Qing what he thought, Zu Qing stood up, walked into the recording studio, put on the earphones, and signaled the sound engineer to adjust the volume, and did not ask for an accompaniment. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they immediately began to sing a cappella.

"You and I, heart to heart
Living together in the global village—”

Zu Qing's vocal condition is excellent, with a strong and generous voice. After all, being able to occupy the reputation of a master singer in the mainland for such a long time is naturally due to his own solid foundation skills.

Moreover, Zu Qing hardly has any shortcomings in singing. The mid-bass is deep and powerful, with thousands of turns, and the treble is also very beautiful. Even in some evening parties, in the songs of the chorus of stars, Zu Qing's voice is also very prominent. Calm, clean and natural, clearly better than other singers.

This is also the reason why many singers are resistant to cooperating with Zu Qing, because if they are not strong enough, they will inevitably become background boards.

Even some talented singers will sing a chorus with Zu Qing. Against the backdrop of Zu Qing's singing, they will appear light and artificial. Over time, few singers will cooperate with Zu Qing, but this will help Zu Qing in the circle virtually. status increased a lot.

Most importantly, even so, Zu Qing did not stop making progress at all.

This is very scary.

In the past 20 years, Zu Qing's singing skills have shown an obvious upward trend. Every once in a while, new inspirations will be born, and his skills will continue to improve, making his singing skills more delicate and more controllable. Stronger and cleaner sound.

Up to now, it has entered the realm of relaxation and freedom.

This is why the Olympic Committee searched all over the country and finally found Zu Qing to sing the theme song of the Olympic Games.

Even Han Sen's singing skills and voice are not as powerful as Zu Qing's.

Therefore, when Zu Qing's singing voice sang a new song in the recording studio, even if it was a cappella, everyone felt a kind of scalp-numbing shock.

"For dreams, travel thousands of miles
We will meet in the capital—"

Zu Qing's singing was very slow, and it even felt like he was humming, but it was such a casual humming that gave people an inexplicable attraction.

"This singing skill is too powerful!"

"Mr. Zu Qing's live sound pressure is unrivaled. He can sing across the vocal point and move around freely. He is simply the number one singer in China!"

"I even feel that Li Ang and Han Sen's singing skills are no match for Teacher Zu Qing!"

"There is no need to question it, but it is not as good as the previous two. Compared with the first two who are at home and abroad, Master Zu Qing is like a sweeping monk in martial arts novels. He only holds music lectures in major domestic universities and rarely appears in front of the public."

"His songs are very difficult. Many of them are interrupted, long-sounded and pronounced. Without two brushes, he can't sing at all!"

"That's right, Han Sen's songs are covered by many people, but Teacher Zu Qing's songs are rarely challenged by others. This is the gap!"

"At such an old age, I haven't passed the funeral yet. Teacher Zu Qing is too strong, an eternal god!"...

Everyone in the recording studio was full of energy and praised Zu Qing's singing at the moment.

Even Fang Yongyi felt his blood boil, even though it was a slow song, even though it had no soundtrack, under Zu Qing's interpretation, it was so moving.

"Come on, friend
hold out your hand

me and you, heart to heart

Forever family..."

When Zu Qing finished the first half of the song, amidst the surprise on everyone's faces, he suddenly got stuck.

Everyone looked over and wondered why Zu Qing didn't continue singing.

Zu Qing took off the headset, coughed, and explained: "I don't know English."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Because in addition to the 40-odd Chinese characters in the lyrics, there are indeed more than 30 English characters.

Although Zu Qing doesn't know English, as long as there is a need later, he can indeed sing this part of English through repeated contact and reciting, but unfortunately, at present, Zu Qing has no way to sing the whole song directly.

Fang Yongyi smiled and said: "It's okay, in fact, this song itself requires two singers, a man and a woman to sing duet, the male voice is naturally Teacher Zu Qing, and the female voice, let's make a decision after careful discussion!"

Zu Qing nodded and agreed to Fang Yongyi's proposal to sing a chorus of men and women.

At this time, a staff member asked: "Mr. Zu Qing, can you comment on this song "You and Me"? We want to know your opinion."

Everyone else nodded.

Hearing this, Zu Qing showed a smile on his face: "I take back what I just said, this song "You and Me" is indeed better than I imagined, even if it is 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 well-recognized exquisite and high-quality masterpieces, and there are many who have endured for many years, and their accomplishments in lyrics and melody far surpass this song "You and Me" "!"

"The melody and lyrics of those works have typical Western characteristics of enthusiasm and unrestrained, which is very different from this song "You and Me"."

Hearing Zu Qing's comments, everyone quieted down. 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. bone.

But then, what Zu Qing said 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, reserved, calm and eclectic, especially when facing distinguished guests from afar and attending major international conferences, this can be well reflected, so there is no need to echo the enthusiasm of Westerners. "You and Me "has our own characteristics and the unique humanistic care of the Chinese people. It is not suitable for the Olympic Games in any other country except China. It is only suitable for China. This is the special feature of "You and Me", and even the success of it." !"

Zu Qing's words were resounding, and even his face showed excitement, obviously agreeing with the song "You and Me" very much.

Everyone in the recording studio applauded loudly.

Fang Yongyi was elated, and quickly took the lead in applauding: "You speak so well, analyze the essence, and get straight to your heart. We don't need to cater to others, we can only be ourselves!"

"Yes, we are only ourselves!"

Everyone looked excited and applauded for the speeches of Zu Qing and Fang Yongyi.
