My singer girlfriend is super fierce
Chapter 1095
In the recording studio, Ye Zhiqiu listened to it again and found no problems. To be safe, he re-recorded it as a backup.
The accompaniment band cooperated very well, and even felt a little reluctant to finish after the end.
After a short break, the second song "Waving Flag" was recorded. The rock band withdrew and another group of harmony singers arranged by Universal Entertainment came in.
In the previous life, the song "Waving Flag" was sung by the singer Kenan, who was born in Somalia. The original version of the song expressed a strong accusation of war, and the theme song version sung at the World Cup was greatly modified. The lyrics and rhythm of the modified version are much more joyful, and it still has a strong humanistic atmosphere.
In order to pursue the best recording effect, Universal Entertainment also invited the world's top accompaniment team.
This group of accompaniment singers have different skin colors, most of them are black, and some of them hold special instruments such as African drums in their hands, and their shapes are very conspicuous.
Director Li looked at this scene and exclaimed, "This is really international."
On the side, everyone nodded in agreement, and everyone was concentrating on the scene in front of them.
The prelude of the song was a melody with dense African drum beats and a brisk rhythm, accompanied by the classic shouts of the World Cup.
[Ahhho ahhho ahhho ahhho~~~~]
Then, Ye Zhiqiu's high-pitched and infectious voice sounded.
[Give me freedom give me fire (Give me freedom, give me passion)
Give me reason take me higher (Give me a reason to fly higher)
See the champions take the field now (See the champions galloping on the green field)
Unify us make us feel proud... (Working together to feel proud...)]
When singing, Ye Zhiqiu did not pronounce it very "standardly", but deliberately brought a hint of accent.
This way of pronunciation makes the whole song more appealing. If "We Will Rock You" sounds passionate, this song makes people feel like shaking their legs to the rhythm.
In the recording studio, when the song reached the climax of the chorus, many listeners were already twisting their bodies and spinning in circles with joy.
Among them, the most excited were Ye Zhiqiu's agent Joel and Pepsi's Matt. These two middle-aged men with beer bellies even danced happily, making others laugh.
After the song ended, warm applause rang out for a long time, and everyone looked at the figure standing in the middle of the recording studio with great admiration.
Matt's face was excited, "This is the song! Joel!"
"My friend, you are right, I was too anxious just now, this song is more suitable!"
"You must tell Ye to let this song appear in our promotional video."
Joel laughed, "Of course no problem."
"Ye is the spokesperson for Pepsi-Cola, I believe he will be happy to do so, our cooperation has always been very pleasant."
"But Mr. Matt, you know, the advertising copyright authorization of this song is not within the scope of the contract."
Matt waved his hand and said readily: "Don't worry, I know this."
"As long as Ye agrees, Pepsi-Cola will definitely pay him a satisfactory remuneration!"
"For the superstar who can appear at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, all this is worth it!"
The two white middle-aged men looked at each other, both laughed, and held their hands tighter.
Like the previous song, Ye Zhiqiu also recorded the song "Waving Flag" twice.
Then, he cooperated with Ding Jie to record the Chinese version of the song "Flag of Victory".
Two songs, three versions were all recorded, and more than five hours had passed, and this was when Ye Zhiqiu performed almost perfectly.
Saman, the executive member of the FIFA organizing committee, and others left with satisfaction. Before leaving, they shook Ye Zhiqiu's hand and expressed their gratitude for his creation. They said that the opening ceremony of this World Cup would definitely be wonderful.
Then, Joel explained to Ye Zhiqiu the idea that Pepsi wanted to use the song "Waving Flag".
It's not complicated. Every World Cup is a global sports event and a feast for advertising. Various brand giants will invest heavily in advertising to showcase their brand image.
As one of the main sponsors of this World Cup, Pepsi is no exception. It specificallyShot a football advertisement short film.
The main purpose of Matt's visit to Huahai this time was to get Ye Zhiqiu to agree to use the World Cup theme song he created in the short film and use it as the advertising song for Pepsi.
"Ye, believe me, your song "Waving Flag" was definitely born for this advertisement, it is so suitable!"
Matt said excitedly, "Of course, we are willing to pay $1 million for the additional use of this song!"
Ye Zhiqiu had no objection to Pepsi's request.
The song only appeared as background music in the advertisement, and there was $1 million in the account. This price was not low. In addition, the cooperation between the two parties had been good before, and his song was selected because Pepsi was actively promoting it behind the scenes, so Ye Zhiqiu did not intend to bargain for the price.
However, out of responsibility for his own work, Ye Zhiqiu still asked: "Mr. Matt, can I first understand the form and creativity of this advertisement?"
"Of course!" Matt said readily, and an assistant brought a tablet computer with a wave of his hand.
"Actually, we have already filmed this ad, but I was not satisfied with the music of the first version, so I had the idea of changing it."
"Ye, you can take a look first."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and moved his eyes to the tablet screen.
The Pepsi ad takes place in a village with simple and exotic buildings. The style should cater to the cultural background of the venue.
At the beginning, two young men walked into a souvenir shop and picked up a jersey with the Pepsi logo and the name of a famous star.
Because the stars they supported came from different countries, the two people quarreled.
Then, the two put on their jerseys and prepared to have a football duel on the street to decide the winner. Unexpectedly, real stars appeared one after another.
Then, the two sides kicked the ball on the street, and the stars' dazzling operations were dazzling...
To be fair, Ye Zhiqiu felt that this ad was quite exciting, with a tight rhythm and many superstars. For football fans, there are many "surprises".
As for the background music, the original version is indeed a bit ordinary. No wonder Pepsi wants to put "Waving Flag" in. It can really play a huge role in improving it.
"OK, I agree." Ye Zhiqiu nodded.
Matt's face was happy, but the next moment Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Matt, the commercial is very exciting."
"However, I personally have a small suggestion for modification. I wonder if you are interested."
