"Everyone must know the person below. He is the biggest dark horse in this Olympics. He won the most valuable gold medal in the Olympics. He is called the national team's biggest breakthrough in the history of the Olympics! Yes, he is the world The No. 1 flying artist Zhang Guan! Next, let’s invite Zhang Guan and Wang Feng to sing “Blooming Life”!”
Before the host finished speaking, tens of thousands of people in the venue were already cheering one after another, and the audience waiting by the TV to watch the live broadcast also became excited. For the audience, they don't care which singer will appear next. What they are looking forward to is the appearance of the Olympic champion. Zhang Guan is obviously the most anticipated Olympic champion.
""Blooming Life"? What song is this? I've never heard it before!" Some senior fans immediately realized that this was a new song.
Then, a floating box appeared on the lower left side of the TV. Song "Blooming Life", composer: Wang Feng, lyrics: Zhang Guan.
"It turns out that Wang Feng composed the music. Is this Wang Feng's new song? Didn't he just release a new album a few months ago? Why did he release a new song so soon?" Some senior fans noticed this.
But some more experienced fans noticed another point.
"The lyricist Zhang Guan? Is it the same name? Well, it must be the same name, it can't be Zhang Guan. How could he be an Olympic champion and write lyrics? But I have never heard of any musician named Zhang Guan in the music circle. , probably a newcomer!”
At this moment, singing started.
"I want a life in full bloom,"
"It's like flying in the vast sky,"
"It's like walking through an endless wilderness,"
"It's like standing on top of a rainbow,"
"It's like walking through the bright stars!"
The scene was already in a state of excitement. The song "Blooming Life", both the melody and the lyrics were so exciting. Coupled with Wang Feng's superb performance, it instantly aroused the emotions of the fans.
Backstage, other singers showed admiration in their eyes.
"Good song, good melody, and good lyrics! It makes people's blood boil when listening to it!"
"As expected of Wang Feng! This song is absolutely top-notch! If it were an ordinary artist, this song would last a lifetime."
Everyone is a professional musician, and they can analyze a song from a professional perspective, and this song "Blooming Life" is so passionate and high-pitched in Wang Feng's mouth, and its lyrics are also so passionate that it makes people listen to it. Full of power. Many singers have even guessed that this song will definitely become a hit song in the future and even win a place in future music awards.
…
The next day, the song "Blooming Life" had become a hot search on major domestic search websites, but the only search results were the live version of yesterday's singing concert. This kind of live version is not as good as the specially recorded feature in terms of the clarity of the music and the singing effect, and it is also mixed with live noise. More importantly, Wang Feng also brought Zhang Guan as a laggard, but even so, it is still a big surprise. popular!
Of course, the live version also has something that is not in the record, and that is the live atmosphere. For many music fans, they spend money to go to concerts just to feel the atmosphere.
For those professional music producers, this song has a strong unique style of Wang Feng, so it is expected that Wang Feng can make this song famous. A good tune, a good lyrics, and a good singer make a good song a matter of course. The industry also generally believes that Wang Feng is a good composer and a good singer, but the key Who wrote the lyrics for this song
Zhang Guan has the same name as the Olympic champion, but no one thinks of the lyricist as Zhang Guan. After all, they are in different fields, so more people think that the composer Zhang Guan is probably a newcomer in the music industry. Some even think that Zhang Guan, the composer, is a newcomer in the music industry. Start calling Wang Feng for confirmation.
But soon everyone knew that the composer Zhang Guan was the Olympic champion!
The Olympic champion turned out to be the lyricist of "Blooming Life", which suddenly sparked the spotlight. The media loves all kinds of weird things like this. Without any hype, the song "Blooming Life" completely entered the media According to the report, even people who didn't like listening to music originally tried their best to find the song and listen to it after hearing that the Olympic champion wrote the lyrics.
"The song "Blooming Life" is like Zhang Guan describing his journey of winning the championship. He went from an unknown ordinary athlete to the world's number one flyer. This is a blooming of life! Just like He said in the lyrics that on the road to success, he fell down again and again, lost his direction again and again, felt confused again and again, and had his dreams shattered again and again, but he persisted and continued to The hard work, continuous progress, finally bloomed like flowers! Through this song, I can feel the lonely cry in Zhang Guan’s heart, the pursuit and expectation of dreams! I think it is precisely because of this that Zhang Guan can reach where he is today. , just like the sports spirit of "higher, faster, stronger", he is constantly surpassing himself!"
A well-known music critic published this report, which instantly made Zhang Guan's image "higher" several times.
Of course, those who praised Zhang Guan also had doubts. A few people questioned that there must be a gunman behind Zhang Guan. They felt that Zhang Guan, an athlete, must not have a high level of education, so how could he write such lyrics.
There are many famous people, right and wrong, these are all things for later. After all, as long as the Olympic gust has not blown, the topic about the Olympics will not stop, and Olympic figures will always appear in everyone's sight.
After the singing concert, Zhang Guan was not free, or it could be said that the entire Olympic delegation was not free, because next was the summary and commendation meeting of the Athens Olympics. What's more important is that several heads of state will attend this summary and commendation meeting to meet with the Olympic athletes.
Zhang Guan was of course the first target to be interviewed, so Zhang Guan had been preparing for it all morning until the start of the summary and commendation meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
After the summary and commendation meeting, a dinner was held in the banquet hall of the General Assembly Hall to entertain Olympic champions and outstanding coaches. Zhang Guan also enjoyed an authentic state banquet for the first time.
Next, the Olympic champions will still have to live in the Temple of Heaven Apartment, because two days later, the Olympic champions will leave the capital by plane and start their journey to visit Hong Kong and Macao.
…
"This is the itinerary for the visit to Hong Kong and Macao." Director Ma personally handed the itinerary to Zhang Guan. Before Zhang Guan could take a closer look, Director Ma continued: "At seven o'clock in the evening on September 7, there will be a visit to the university. The stadium holds an elite performance of Olympic gold medals, and the organization requires you to perform a performance, preferably a song, well, this is a task and must be completed."
"Want to sing again?" Zhang Guan said with a dumbfounded look.
Director Ma nodded: "The "Same Song" concert a few days ago was very effective. The song you sang with Wang Feng received a very good response. Many media made special reports, and the masses were also very enthusiastic. I like that song, and I also listened to it. It has a very positive value and is very inspiring. This positive effect is exactly what we want to see. So the leadership hopes that you can perform it during the Hong Kong Olympics performance. Sing your voice and strive to achieve positive results.”
"I will sing alone this time?" Zhang Guan asked with a guilty conscience.
"Of course you sing alone. Our Hong Kong compatriots went there just to see your Olympic champion. Is it possible that we still need to find Wang Feng to go to Hong Kong with you?" Director Ma said.
"This is a bit troublesome. The song "Blooming Life" is not that easy to sing. If there is no professional singer to accompany me, I will definitely not be able to sing it." Zhang Guanhua paused and then said: "And Hong Kong compatriots may not necessarily like "Blooming Life". The rock music style there is different from ours."
Director Ma nodded seriously: "The organization has also taken your difficulties into consideration, so we specially found a professor from the Central Conservatory of Music to provide you with one-on-one guidance. This is also the organization's response to this visit to Hong Kong. I have asked you to find out. This professor from the Central Conservatory of Music is a great composer in the industry. If it doesn’t work, ask him to change "Blooming Life" to make it easier to sing, or change it to Cantonese version?"
Zhang Guan shook his head fiercely: "No! Let's sing in Mandarin! I grew up in the north and can't speak a word of Cantonese. Wouldn't it be a joke to sing in Cantonese? By the way, who is this professor from the Central Conservatory of Music? "
"His surname is Zhou. I will contact you when a car will take you there." Director Ma replied casually.
…
Early September is the time when major colleges and universities welcome new students. A lot of people gather in front of the Conservatory of Music, including new students, their parents, and seniors who hide the tail of the big bad wolf.
Zhang Guan's car was stuck outside for a long time before he entered the school. Only one day later, Zhang Guan met Professor Zhou from the Conservatory of Music again. This Professor Zhou was the same professor he had met during the rehearsal with Wang Feng not long ago. .
"Professor Zhou, to be honest, I don't want to sing "Blooming Life"." Zhang Guan said. Zhang Guan sang this song himself? The treble can't go up and the bass can't go down. What a joke!
"Why? I think this song is very good, and the response seems to be very good so far." Professor Zhou asked puzzledly.
"This song is so difficult to sing. I can't sing it myself. And Hong Kong compatriots may not be able to accept this style of music." Zhang Guan said.
Professor Zhou frowned. As an academic expert who specializes in pop music, he naturally has a clear understanding of the development history of Hong Kong pop music.
In the mid-1970s, Hong Kong pop music began to flourish. Then in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hong Kong pop music became the benchmark for Asian pop groups, such as Brother, the Four Kings, and Beyond. Popular throughout Asia. Although Hong Kong music is not as good as it was in its heyday, there are still many outstanding young singers.
When it comes to music styles, there is indeed a big gap between Hong Kong and mainland China at this time. Regardless of the Four Heavenly Kings of the older generation, the currently popular Twins, Ting Fung and others, or the newly rising Teacher Chen, they are obviously not compatible with the pop rock genre of "Blooming Life". The high-spirited tunes may have a market among older people, but it was difficult for young people at the time to accept them. Although music has no borders, it takes a process to accept a new kind of music.
"How about I change the tune of "Blooming Life"?" Professor Zhou then shook his head and continued: "It's not easy to change. Wang Feng's music has too obvious characteristics. If you change it, it will change the taste. I might not be able to sing anymore."
"How about changing to another song!" Zhang Guan suggested.
"It's a good idea to change one." Professor Zhou began to think about the track list in his mind, hoping to find a suitable song.
Zhang Guan also filtered through the songs he was familiar with in his mind to see if he could copy one.
"It has to be nice and easy to sing. The theme has to be clear enough and positive enough. It should be liked by Hong Kong people. It's so troublesome!" Zhang Guan suddenly relaxed his brows and found a very suitable song.
——————
The first chapter has been delivered. Please give me a recommendation vote. There will be more updates today.
I posted this chapter late. I have been hesitating whether to say a few words, but finally I thought I would share my thoughts with all my book friends. From the beginning, this book should be considered creatively novel. I originally planned to write it according to the traditional competitive novel writing method, training, competition, training, competition, training and competition. However, when refining the outline, I decided that I should change it. For a moment, don’t always train for games, but add some off-field elements into the book.
In the traditional way of writing about sports, when there are no games, you just write about training and transactions, and other off-field matters are mentioned in one go. Then everyone gets used to this writing method, and the result is that sports writing becomes more and more niche. Today's competitive writing is written by football fans for football fans, and by basketball fans for basketball fans. It is becoming more and more routine. Why? I think the first reason is that the author is unwilling to change, try new writing methods, or simply not want to innovate, and the readers can only be forced to follow the author's rhythm. I believe the readers will definitely want to see some Something novel, but no choice.
Since no one is willing to change, then let me change! Therefore, when creating, I will make some innovations and try to add new factors. These new elements may not belong to the traditional writing methods of competitive novels. Although they may be about competition, the description direction is different. For example, add some introductory things, add some story-based things, add some life-related things, add some current affairs things, and add some things that reborn people should do. I don’t want the novel I wrote to be exclusively for sports fans, but I hope that even people who know nothing about sports can read the book smoothly and find something they like in the book.
The author must be ahead of the readers. Nowadays, the common situation is that readers will write whatever the author likes to read, and they will write whatever the subject matter is popular, but I will not do that. I think the author should be a trailblazer, opening up a new path before the readers come along, and then allowing the readers to walk on it smoothly.
Finally, welcome to follow suit! Welcome to the new path I’ve blazed! Welcome to travel with me!
