Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 90 English Singles and Championships
  Wen Hao felt that his time was running out.

Yesterday, I first experienced two high-intensity 100-meter competitions, then attended the youth elite party hosted by Prince William, and finally spent the night with "Miss Hermione" Emma.

It is said that a day's plan begins in the morning, but this time Wen Hao really made it to the morning.

I slept until noon, played with Emma in the bathroom, and then took this weird follower to EMI Records headquarters.

EMI Records has been impacted by the Internet industry in recent years. Although the record business has not been greatly impacted in the industry, its market share has been really affected. In addition, there are many large international capitals eyeing it.

If the timeline does not change, by August 08, Gold Medal Entertainment will acquire EMI's Greater China business with over 8 million yuan, becoming the largest Chinese music company.

And this gold medal company will eventually be acquired by Warner Music in 14.

As for EMI Records itself, it will also change hands several times in the hands of major international capital.

Until November 2011, Sony Music Entertainment will join forces with American investment companies to acquire EMI's music copyright management department from financial giant Citibank, becoming the music company with the most copyrights in the industry.

But these things are irrelevant to Wen Hao.

All he needs to do is to put himself out of it. As long as he continues to produce high-quality music, no matter what the ownership of EMI Records or changes, it will not affect him.

For assembly-line artists like South Korean idols, once a huge change occurs within their company, it is likely to affect their career as an artist. At least there will be no songs to release or no programs to appear on, and they can only scratch their feet at home.

In serious cases, the company will split or even close down, and those idols will either switch to other companies, or return to normal lives with a negligible settlement fee.

But for an artist like Wen Hao, who holds the copyright to compose and write lyrics, even if his company changes, it will not affect him in any way, not to mention that he has the protection of his status as an athlete.

What? Is the company going to change owners again?
  What? Is the copyright department going to be acquired?
  It's okay, you just take your time and work on it. I'll go to the World Championships, the Olympics, etc. first. Remember to say hello when you're done.

I came to the EMI Records headquarters and had a friendly meeting with several senior executives, especially two of them who had played music in their early years. They spoke highly of Wen Hao's "Shape of You" that he released last night.

The big guys immediately decided to start the "Shape of You" single project and release it as quickly as possible.

Judging from the video recorded by Annie, the song "Shape of You" is very complete. As long as Wen Hao formally composes the lyrics and music, the company will be able to complete the arrangement and design of the song very quickly.

As for Wen Hao returning to China to participate in the National Championships and the World Youth Championship, this is not a problem. We can send the production team to China on a business trip, and after Wen Hao finishes the game, take some time to record the vocals. Isn't that OK?

However, Wen Hao did not rush to agree, but came up with a new song that was "inspired" by Emma and hastily composed, different from "Shape of You".

Several senior executives scrambled to occupy the original piece of music, which Wen Hao named "We Are Young", and studied it carefully.

What about "Shape of You"?

It’s decided, the first English single is yours – “We Are Young”!
  In fact, if we really want to compare, the quality of "Shape of You" will definitely not be lower than that of "We Are Young".

But Wenhao currently has no album plans, so only one of these two high-quality songs is destined to be released as a single.

"Shape of You" is definitely a high-quality pop song, but when compared with "We Are Young", the content is somewhat inappropriate for children.

The lyrics and melody of "We Are Young" are simpler and catchier. It is the kind of brainwashing song that you can sing along to after just listening to it once.

Another key point is that after a few executives studied the music for a while, they felt that "We Are Young" and "Chasing Dreams" seemed to have certain similarities.

Regarding the analysis of the big guys, Wen Hao also felt that it was a wonderful fate for a while, because he did not consider this when he first released "We Are Young".

It was purely because Emma's words "Carry me home" inspired him.

However, the analysis by the big guys is correct. The song "We Are Young" does incorporate a certain rock style, and the lyrics of the chorus are also full of power, high sentiment and dramatic tension.

Looking at it this way, it is definitely the best choice to use it as Wen Hao's first English single. It can perfectly complement "Chasing Dreams"!
  Wen Hao then started chatting more and more openly, and directly chatted about arrangement with Christine, who is also the producer.

For example, the verse part is set to 116 beats per minute, while the chorus part is set to 92 beats per minute.

For example, drums are used for the intro at the beginning, piano and vocals enter the verse together, and then viola is added where, cello is added where, double bass is added where, trombone is added where, and where harmony should be added.
  Just when he and Kristen were chatting happily, Emma came to him with small steps.

"Wen Hao, I'm a little tired, can you take me back?"

When Wen Hao heard the sound, he looked up and found Emma looking at him angrily. He quickly reacted. He probably felt that he was not left out, so he became a little impatient.

Chris was here, not to mention Wen Hao’s little girlfriend was Emma, ​​so he smiled and said:
  “I always feel like I don’t have enough time when I’m concentrating on work, and it’s tea time in a blink of an eye, haha.”

"There's no rush about the arrangement. Your flight back home is scheduled for tomorrow. We still have a lot of time to discuss it later. Now let's go spend some time with your little girlfriend."

"Now, take Miss Emma to the lounge next to you to have a rest. I will have afternoon tea prepared and delivered to you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Christine."

Emma Dai Wenhao responded, and then hurriedly pulled him towards the lounge next door.

After locking the door of the lounge, the two of them came to the sofa and couldn't wait to hug and start chewing.

"I'm sorry Emma, ​​I forgot about you when we talked about music, but we agreed before we came here not to get angry."       There is no way, little girls are like this, they need to be coaxed.

He had done too many ruthless things in his previous life, so he planned to change his route in this life.

Emma, ​​who is in her twenties and eighties, is still a girl at heart, and her mood improved after a little coaxing.

The two of them hugged each other and made out again, and then they returned to serious matters until there was a knock on the door of the lounge, saying that afternoon tea was ready.

While sipping black tea and eating desserts, Emma suddenly said again:
  "So, you are going back to China tomorrow, and you won't be able to come to Europe for a long time?"

Wen Hao nodded, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on the girl's face.

"After returning to China, I will soon prepare for the national championships, and then I will prepare for the Yanjing World Youth Championship. After that, there should be no competition until late September, but you know"

"I have now broken the Asian record and become the first Asian to break the 10-second mark. The sales of single records have also experienced a surge. Next, I will release my first English single."

The more Wen Hao spoke, the more disappointed the color on Emma's face became.

"but."

"Huh?" After hearing this "but", Emma immediately perked up, "But what?"

Wen Hao smiled, held the sensitive girl in his arms, and stuffed a small dessert into her delicate lips.

Emma seemed to be very "talented". While taking the small dessert into her mouth, she also gently bit Wen Hao's index finger and started sucking it with a charming look in her eyes.

Little goblin!
  After taking a deep breath and calming down, Wen Hao opened his mouth to explain.

"You must have been too angry just now and didn't listen carefully to the conversation between me and Kristen, right?"

Emma immediately put out her fingers from her mouth, pressed them against his chest like a kitten, rubbed them twice and said coquettishly: "The topics you are talking about are too professional, and I can't understand them."

"Even if you don't understand it, you should hear that this song requires a female singer, and the singing skills are not very high."

"Female singer, her singing skills are not very demanding." Emma's eyes immediately brightened, "You mean?"

"What? As my inspiration, Miss Emma is actually unwilling to complete this song with me?"

"No! I do!" Emma pecked Wen Hao on the lips excitedly, but then thought of something else, "But... you just said that this song will be produced in China."

"Alas~" Wen Hao sighed, "I'm just being sentimental. I thought you would agree without hesitation. After all, whether it's "Shape of You" or "We Are Young," in my opinion, it's our love. testimony.”

"As a result, Miss Emma's love for me is not that deep, and she is not willing to do anything for me, right?"

How could sixteen-year-old Emma resist such PUA?

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!" She was at a loss for a moment and explained anxiously: "I'm just, you know, in addition to filming "Harry Potter", I also have to go to school, so it's difficult to find time to go to China. .”

Wen Hao nodded: "This is a good reason, but... Emma, ​​love is not a unilateral contribution from one party. It requires both parties to water it with sincerity before it can grow fruits."

"Tell me your true thoughts. If I can create a suitable opportunity, are you willing to go to China for me and complete the song "We Are Young" with me?"

Emma lowered her head and was silent for a while.

"If the opportunity is right, I will!"

  Although the attention of the National Track and Field Championships is more than one level lower than that of the National Games, for domestic track and field athletes, the National Championships are still very important.

Generally speaking, only the gold medal winners of the National Games or National Championships can truly be crowned as "national champions."

For some sports that have long been able to compete with athletes from all over the world on the Olympic stage, the title of "national champion" seems to be somewhat out of reach.

But for track and field, which is still far behind the world's leading level, if it doesn't even have the title of "national champion", it is even less worthy of talking about the Asian Games and Olympic Games.

2006中国田径锦标赛，将在8月4日~8月7日，于河北石家庄举行。

The Neon National Championships next door will be held from August 8st to August 1th in Kobe City.

Interestingly, the holding time of this year’s Neon Championships was changed twice after the official confirmation of the China Championships. It was originally supposed to be from July 7st to July 1th.

This is an intentional move by the Neon Land Track and Field Alliance. After all, the Doha Asian Games will be held in December. During this period, it will be difficult for the track and field circles of the two countries to compete and find out each other's truths.

Therefore, they adjusted the holding time of their national championships so that the results of various track and field events in the two countries can be in sharp contrast, so that effective adjustments can be made before the arrival of the Doha Asian Games.

Silent smoke is quietly spreading in the upcoming national championships between the two countries.

And Wen Hao also returned to the land of China after a month's absence on the morning of August 8st.
