After finishing the recording, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren returned to the Temple of Heaven Apartment. The next morning, they followed the team to the Capital Olympic Sports Center Stadium for rehearsal of the "One Brother" large-scale concert.
Liu Feiren will sing "I Want It So Much" with Hong Kong singer Ju Ji, badminton coach Li and the famous singer Sun Nan will sing "Red Flag Flying", the new tennis women's doubles champion will sing "Friends", and the women's volleyball players will sing "Friends". "The Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm", the four swordsmen of the fencing team will sing "Real Hero".
As for Zhang Guan, he also met Wang Feng backstage.
"Hello, Teacher Wang Feng!" Zhang Guan said while extending his right hand.
At this time, Wang Feng still had long flowing hair that stretched over his head, and his square glasses had not changed much from what he had later. However, he was not used to Zhang Guan calling him "Teacher Wang Feng."
"If you don't dare, you don't need to call me teacher, just call me Wang Feng." Wang Feng said.
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, they got down to business.
"Have you ever sung the song "Fly Higher" before?" Wang Feng asked.
"I have sung it before. I like this song very much." Zhang Guan nodded and said.
"How about this? How about I take you to sing it again and give it a try?" Wang Feng asked.
"Okay!" Zhang Guan nodded, and then Wang Feng turned on the accompaniment machine and sang "Fly Higher" with Zhang Guan.
This is not a formal singing, and there is no need for Wang Feng to hit the high notes. He is just singing with the singing method he usually practices for entertainment. Therefore, the singing does not have the usual majestic feeling, but it still has a soul-shaking feeling. On the other hand, Zhang Guan can't go up the high notes and can't go down the lows. He's still not as good as a KTV singer, so he's barely out of tune. However, Wang Feng is already quite satisfied with Zhang Guan's performance.
This kind of co-performance is more about form than content. Wang Feng also knows that although it is a singing concert, the protagonists are the Olympic champions. They, professional singers, are just the foils of the Olympic champions, and they have to help the Olympic champions sing well. But when it comes to the actual performance, no audience will care about the singing skills of the Olympic champions. As long as they can sing well, the audience will not be too harsh even if the Olympic champions sing out of tune.
Next, Wang Feng gave guidance on the areas where Zhang Guan's singing was not very good. Of course, if you were to criticize Zhang Guan from a professional perspective, none of Zhang Guan's singing was good, and Wang Feng would not ask Zhang Guan to perform at the level of a professional singer. Guan, I just gave a little guidance on Zhang Guan’s vocalization and singing skills in the treble part.
Then Wang Feng sang with Zhang Guan again, and Zhang Guan's mastery of this song gradually improved.
"Let's take a rest first! Drink some water to moisten your throat. Let me play a song for you." Wang Feng handed Zhang Guan a bottle of water, then opened a bottle himself, and then played a piece of music on the accompaniment machine.
"This is..." Zhang Guan found that the music was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it before. As the music gradually played backwards, especially at the climax, Zhang Guan finally knew what music it was.
"Isn't this the song of "Blooming Life"? If you listen carefully, it's a little different from the "Blooming Life" I listened to later. Maybe Wang Feng hasn't improved this song yet." Zhang Guan thought to himself.
After the song was played, Wang Feng said: "This is a song I just composed. I just got the finished song today."
Zhang Guan suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He suddenly remembered the two different lives he had experienced. The first one was so ordinary, and the last one was really blooming like a flower.
Two different lives, two different journeys, Zhang Guan had a feeling. He felt that this song "Blooming Life" might be more suitable for him, so he said: "This song is good, how about we Just sing this!”
"Sing this?" Wang Feng smiled, and then said: "That's not possible. I have to change this song, and there are no lyrics, right?"
"You can make up the lyrics! I think otherwise, you can play it again and I will fill in the words for you." Zhang Guan said.
"You write lyrics for me?" Wang Feng's smile became even brighter. He is a musician who is good at composing music and writing lyrics, and his level is very high. So he thought Zhang Guan was joking to liven up the atmosphere.
"Then let me play for you again." Wang Feng turned on the accompaniment machine.
After the prelude, just listen to Zhang Guan sing:
"How many times have I fallen on the road,"
"How many times have my wings been broken,"
"Now I no longer feel hesitant,"
"I want to transcend this ordinary luxury,"
"I want a life in full bloom,"
"It's like flying in the vast sky,"
…
"It's like walking through the bright stars,"
"Have power beyond the ordinary!"
Wang Feng was smiling at the beginning, but when Zhang Guan started singing, his face gradually became serious. When Zhang Guan sang the line "I want a life in full bloom", Wang Feng stood up suddenly. He stood up, his face full of excitement and excitement.
Although Zhang Guan's singing skills are still extremely poor, and even the pitches of many keys are wrong, but in the mind of a professional musician like Wang Feng, a finished song has been formed!
"Great, this is the feeling I want, this is the lyrics I want! Blooming life! Well done! Blooming life! Zhang Guan, are you really an athlete? You are simply a poet!" At this moment, Wang Feng I feel like I have caught the tail of my dream.
"Quick, quick!" Wang Feng took out a paper and pen from his bag, handed it to Zhang Guan, and said, "Write down the lyrics quickly, don't forget it!"
Zhang Guan wrote down the lyrics and handed them to Wang Feng. Wang Feng took the lyrics and his hands trembled with music.
"How many times have I lost my direction, how many times have my dreams been shattered! I want to live my life in full bloom and have the power to break away from everything! These lyrics seem to be talking about me!" Wang Feng couldn't help but recall the difficult time that year, and the lyrics The content made him feel even more.
At this moment, he felt inspired.
He no longer paid attention to Zhang Guan, took out the music score from his bag, and quickly revised it. He didn't stop until more than ten minutes later. Then he read the music score carefully, opened the lyrics again, and closed it. Eye.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Zhang Guan did not disturb Wang Feng, but Wang Feng kept his eyes closed, as if he was brewing something.
Suddenly, Wang Feng opened his eyes and spoke.
"How many times have I fallen on the road,"
"How many times have my wings been broken,"
Wang Feng sang this song with a slightly aged voice.
"I want a life in full bloom,"
"It's like flying in the vast sky,"
Wang Feng seemed to start shouting!
Although it was a cappella, Zhang Guan next to him could feel that Wang Feng seemed to have entered a state of selflessness. He was completely immersed in the music. Although Zhang Guan did not understand music, he could feel that Wang Feng's singing was full of emotion. It seems to be telling his past and his persistence.
At this moment, Wang Feng is singing with his soul!
"It's like walking through the bright stars,"
"Have power beyond the ordinary!"
Wang Feng finally finished singing. He took a deep breath, but he was still immersed in the music just now.
"Pa bang bang..." Applause suddenly rang from the side, pulling Wang Feng back to reality from the ocean of music.
A man in his fifties stood there, applauding.
"Professor Zhou. Why are you here?" Wang Feng immediately greeted him.
This man is a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music and a master composer himself. He has been studying pop music since the 1980s and has unique insights into the development of pop music. Therefore, he can also be said to be a figure in the domestic pop music academy. , Wang Feng also graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music at that time, so strictly speaking, Professor Zhou was also Wang Feng’s teacher.
"We don't want to have a singing concert. CCTV invited me to provide music guidance." Coach Zhou looked at Wang Feng with a smile on his face, and then said: "Wang Feng, is that song just now your new song? This song is good Ah, it is definitely a rare product."
"Thank you Professor Zhou for your compliment. I was inspired by it just now." Wang Feng pointed at Zhang Guan and said, "The main reason is that Zhang Guan's lyrics are well written. When I saw these lyrics, I was inspired."
"Zhang Guan? Olympic champion Zhang Guan!" Coach Zhou suddenly looked shocked.
"Don't they say that those who practice sports have not read many books? Why do you write this word as if you are writing poetry!" While thinking this, Professor Zhou stepped forward and continued: "I didn't expect that you, an Olympic champion, can also write lyrics. He is truly both civilized and military!”
"Professor Zhou really praised me so much. I am just like a blind cat who met a dead mouse." Zhang Guan said.
"I just listened to these lyrics, and I was quite touched. I thought it was written by Xiao Wang, but I didn't expect it was you. But you are an athlete, and you may feel the frustration better than us who make music, and you will know better than us. Hold on." Professor Zhou changed his voice and continued: "I heard that you are preparing to sing "Fly Higher", so I came to have a look."
Wang Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Professor Zhou, I don't want to sing "Fly Higher" at the singing concert. I want to sing the song just now."
"Oh?" Professor Zhou was slightly startled. Most singers would put new songs into new albums to increase sales of new albums. It was rare for them to sing them so easily.
Wang Feng explained: "The lyrics of this song were written by Zhang Guan, and I also got a lot of inspiration from it. This is our joint work, so I think it is most appropriate for us to sing it together."
"Okay, this is indeed an excellent song. But is it too late to start preparing now? Although the music and lyrics are available, they still need to be recorded, and it will take time to find a special musical accompaniment. This singing concert will be held soon It’s about to be held.” Professor Zhou asked.
"There's enough time. Don't forget that I have my own nest and can record music very quickly." Wang Feng said. Wang Feng once formed a band, and although Wang Feng has become popular in recent years, he has always maintained a band, and the place where he played music has always been retained. This is something everyone in the music circle knows.
Then Wang Feng turned to Zhang Guan and said: "Zhang Guan, you wrote the lyrics, please give this song a name!"
"How about the blooming life?" Zhang Guan continued to copy the lyrics.
"Okay, let's call it the blooming life!" Wang Feng said affirmatively.
