Chapter 444 Chorus Guest Candidates

Olympic village.

Inside the office.

Holding the manuscript in his hand, Han Qiang, the person in charge of the Olympic Committee, raised his eyebrows slightly. Judging from the name, the playlist is not bad.

Just don't know what the content is.

He played music when he was young, and he knew little about music, so he could understand all the things written by He Xiao.

And Wang Shi and Liao Yuqing came here to join in the fun. Even though they have both worked on large-scale music competition variety shows, they actually know nothing about music.

"What's all this?"

The two of them were at a loss at this moment, just like Wang Baoqiang in "People on the Journey", they squeezed their eyes and looked at it for a long time but didn't understand.

On the contrary, Han Qiang understood it and couldn't help nodding. This song and lyrics are really good for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

"Xiao He, can you sing briefly?" Han Qiang asked.

"to make."

He Xiao cleared his throat and sang the whole song a cappella according to the melody in his memory. This time Wang Shi and Liao Yuqing also understood it.

"Good singing!"

When the singing ended, Liao Yuqing applauded applaudingly.

Everyone agrees with the song, no one has an opinion.

All of this was expected by He Xiao, because this song "You and Me" was originally the theme song of the Olympics in another parallel world!
The Yanjing Olympic Games in that world were held as early as [-], a full ten years earlier than He Xiao's world.

At that time, the Olympic Organizing Committee of that world collected theme songs from all over the world. It conducted four phases in total and received more than 9 works. However, because most of the creations of non-professionals were difficult to reach the ideal level, there were no satisfactory works. .

In desperation, the Yanjing Olympic Organizing Committee had no choice but to solicit theme songs from dozens of professional musicians, including Tan Dun, Bao Bida, and Chen Shaoqi, according to the creative work requirements of the opening ceremony, and "You and Me" was born under such circumstances. of.

Chang Shilei and Ma Wen wrote the lyrics, Chen Qigang composed the music, Chinese singer Liu Huan and British singer Sarah Brightman sang together.

It is said that Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman had less than a week to prepare the song. When Liu Huan was told to sing the theme song at the opening ceremony, he felt uneasy. The song was a big deal for him. challenge.

He Xiao took out "You and Me" this time, and his mood was similar to that of senior Liu Huan in the parallel world. It was not because he was afraid of singing the song, but the main pressure was because the whole stage was too big.

That was the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, representing the face of a country, witnessed by billions of people around the world, with countless eyes staring at it, coupled with the live broadcast, in this environment, any singer will feel pressure in his heart.

"Xiao He, do you need two people to sing this song together?" Liao Yuqing asked suddenly. He noticed that part of the music score had English lyrics.

"Yes, this song is more suitable for men and women to sing together."

He Xiao nodded truthfully. The original song was sung by Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman. It would be a little difficult to control if sung by himself, and that feeling is missing.

And the chorus should preferably be a foreign friend. After all, the main point of this song is that the earth is a big family, so there must be family members of other skin colors, so as to highlight the theme of "global village".

"Do you mind if I smoke cigarettes?"

Liu Haibo took out a cigarette, first asked everyone's opinions, and then lit it. After taking a puff, he said slowly: "Then do you have a suitable chorus partner in mind?"

"Not yet." He Xiao shook his head.

The main reason is that he doesn't know any foreign singers, and it's impossible to invite them casually. After all, even Yanjing's Olympic Committee doesn't have so much energy. If you say you're attracted to an international singer, you'll be assed as soon as you wave. It's unrealistic to run over.

"I have a good relationship with Smollett Betty, why don't you try?" Wang Shi interjected at this moment.

"Okay, old Wang, do you still have friendship with Smollett Betty?" Liao Yuqing looked surprised.

Smollett Betty is currently one of the most popular female pop singers in the UK. She is very popular in Europe and the United States. She has been nominated for Grammy three times, and her strength is outstanding.

"Okay, you can get in touch and try to get it done in two days, otherwise it may be too late for the rehearsal." Liu Haibo made a decisive decision.

The female celebrity that Wang Shi knew was famous enough to be qualified to attend their opening ceremony. Of course, the main reason was that time was too tight. If she contacted a foreign celebrity with a bigger name, it might be too late.

The matter was temporarily finalized, and after meeting with He Xiao, Liu Haibo and Han Qiang from the Olympic Committee hurried to the Bird's Nest Stadium and began to study the program arrangement for the opening ceremony there.

He Xiao walked alone in the Olympic Village, thinking about how to sing the song "You and Me" at that time. After all, Wang Shi said that inviting Smollett Betty was just a proposal, whether it would be successful or not. I know.

If there is really no one to find, He Xiao can either sing solo and stand up to the banner of the opening ceremony alone, or sing along with Zhang Ya, since Zhang Ya can speak English anyway.

Thinking about it, He Xiao came to the center of the Olympic Village unknowingly. He could see more and more athletes exercising outdoors, both domestic and foreign.

"Hua Guo will win, and win glory for the country!"

"Hua Guo will win, and win glory for the country!"

A row of athletes in red short-sleeves are running in the Olympic Village chanting slogans. I don’t know how many laps this is. The sweat is pouring down on their faces, but their voices are still loud and powerful. Just listening to them makes people feel excited a feeling of.

He Xiao also got goosebumps all over his body. He suddenly discovered that everyone was silently working hard for the smooth holding of the Olympic Games of the motherland and a good result.

And as the face of the Yanjing Olympic Games, the singer of the opening ceremony is the most important thing, and he should work harder than them.

The burden on his body suddenly increased many times, He Xiao didn't continue to wander around, and after taking a last look at those vigorous figures speeding on the field, he turned and left the sports village.

That night.

He Wanrong's studio.

The employees had already left work, and the entire large warehouse was pitch black, only the lights in the rehearsal room were still on, and He Xiao's singing could be heard from time to time, over and over again, like an indefatigable machine.

He wants to polish the whole song repeatedly until it is perfect and impeccable.

It was late at night, and He Xiao was still rehearsing, but he was not alone. On the indoor bench, Zhang Ya sat there, not playing with his mobile phone, nor doing other things, just watching him quietly and accompanying him he.

Another rehearsal is over.

Zhang Ya stood up, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, and handed it to He Xiao, then wiped his sweat for him, and said softly, "Do you want to continue?"

"Well, I haven't been able to deal with the ending. When I sing it again, we'll go home." He Xiao unscrewed it and took a sip, moistening his dry throat, and looked at the tiredness in his eyes The colorful Zhang Ya said with a bit of distress.

Zhang Ya shook her head and smiled softly, "I'm fine, when you get this ending done, we'll leave later."

He Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Zhang Ya's sweetly smiling face, and suddenly the tip of his nose became sour.

There was no redundant and provocative nonsense, he just nodded heavily, and then proved himself with actions, and began to polish the whole song again.

Bass, treble, tail...all the difficulties were overcome by him one by one.

At 04:30 in the morning, He Xiao finally finished work with satisfaction, and returned home with Zhang Ya. After seeing the big soft bed again, He Xiao fell asleep without even washing up.

He is too tired.
