Chapter 201 The two heroes from Hong Kong and city were defeated by Yilin
At nine o'clock the next morning.
There is still one hour left until the shortlisted songs for the World Cup theme song are announced.
Countless netizens call the theme song of China's World Cup "the one that has been waiting for a thousand years", and the topic is unprecedentedly popular.
The number of visitors to Weibo has surged, and it is filled with fans, black fans and people who want to eat melons.
For a while, posts about football filled the screen.
[I am not talented, and I also composed a lyric for this World Cup, "My goal is always open, and I am open to the world." 】
[Now there is only one way to make the national football team rise, which is to add a "football" subject to the college entrance examination. 】
[Don’t criticize the national football team. The national football team is the savior of a buddy of mine. Last year, he was in a car accident and became a vegetative state. He was lying in the hospital and couldn't wake up no matter how he was called. The doctor said there was no hope...until last month, the nurse turned on the TV one day, which happened to be the national football match, and he just got up and turned off the TV. . 】
…
Bird's Nest Stadium.
"We hold hands together and we bear it together"
"We have the same love"
In order to respond to the international music scene and raise funds for charity, the stars are standing on the stadium stage singing loudly and doing the last rehearsal.
Off stage, in the audience.
The author "Zhao Weiguang" who composed the charity song "Human Love" held his shoulders and watched the stars singing, nodding with great satisfaction.
"Brother Huang, what do you think of this song?"
Huang Xiao, who was also invited to participate, glanced at Zhao Weiguang who was asking for his opinion next to him, nodded and said: "The song is good, the audience will like it. You should dye your hair when you have time, I feel embarrassed if you call me big brother." .”
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Weiguang adjusted his glasses, touched the white hair on his temples, and sighed softly: "I am getting old. I am over fifty years old. This may be my last creation."
"Don't bother me."
Huang Xiao patted his chest and said, "Brother, I haven't retired yet. The fact that I approached you based on the theme song of a charity show shows that the music world still needs you to shine."
"correct."
Zhao Weiguang sipped his saliva and suddenly remembered to ask: "Brother, I remember that you also composed the World Cup theme song, and you asked your students to fill in the lyrics. Why did I hear that you suddenly quit a few days ago?"
"oh."
Huang Xiao nodded, sighed, and explained: "If you can't win, it will be embarrassing and you will quit."
"Pfft! Ahem..."
Zhao Weiguang chuckled, choked on his saliva, and said, "No, no, no, I've heard your song, and there's a chance of winning."
Zhao Weiguang and Huang Xiao are known as the duo of lyrics and music in Hong Kong. They have been comparing themselves to each other all their lives, and they are both a bit competitive. Like the old man who was playing chess with equal strength in the park, he was happy to beat the opponent.
Zhao Weiguang thought Huang Xiao had listened to his own song and quit the competition because he thought he was no match for him. After fighting for a lifetime, this was the first time he gave up before fighting. After listening to it, he felt happy.
Huang Xiao knew this old man too well. Looking at the way he coughed and covered his mouth with joy, he knew that he had misunderstood. He curled his lips and said: "Don't laugh, I didn't withdraw from the competition because of you. A very strong rising star.”
"Nova?"
Zhao Weiguang was quite surprised. He raised his eyes and thought for a moment and asked, "Could you be talking about the young man named Lin Zhixing?"
"You know him?"
Huang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"certainly!"
Zhao Weiguang rubbed the tea cup in his hand and nodded: "There should be no one in the music circle who doesn't know him now, right? Even the jingle has come out, what is it called... It's useless to call him a singer if he doesn't know Lin Zhixing."
"Oh, this is my first time hearing it."
Huang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "But in terms of popularity, this jingle is correct. I heard that the Korean version of "Little Apple" released some time ago has entered the top ten of the Korean charts."
Zhao Weiguang nodded, "No, I heard it three times on the street from home to the stadium, and I heard the ringtone twice when I was on the phone in the background."
"This young man is really amazing. The songs he composed when he participated in your program have become popular abroad. I admire him after hearing it."
The various shocks Lin Zhixing brought to him flashed through Huang Xiao's mind, and he praised without hesitation: "In the future, he will be the white jade pillar holding the sky and the purple golden beam bridging the sea in the future."
The conversation went astray...
Zhao Weiguang came to his senses and put down his teacup, and asked curiously: "Did you decide to retire after listening to the World Cup theme song he composed? Is that song so powerful? Have you listened to my song?"
It could make his old rival think about quitting, and he was full of curiosity about this piece of music.
"your?"
Huang Xiao smiled and shook his head, and said seriously: "Let me tell you this, how good is his song? You shouldn't compare our songs."
Zhao Weiguang became more curious and asked eagerly: "Whose should we compare with?"
"It should be compared to the theme songs of previous World Cups."
"So, do you think his song will definitely be selected as the theme song of this World Cup?"
Huang Xiao nodded, "Yes, I even think that his song can be ranked in the top three among the historical World Cup theme songs!"
"Top...top three?"
Zhao Weiguang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, but looking at the old man's determination and understanding of him, he didn't feel like he was just bragging.
Is it really that powerful?
Zhao Weiguang took out his mobile phone and looked down at the time.
In half an hour, he wanted to hear this song for the first time.
…
…
It's ten o'clock in the morning.
Weibo, in conjunction with the World Cup Organizing Committee, released the ten shortlisted songs on time and opened voting.
At the same time, countless netizens started auditioning for the first time.
When netizens saw the name "Lin Zhixing", they were very surprised, because he did not do any publicity on Weibo, and fans had no idea that he also composed the World Cup theme song.
After learning that it was his song, some die-hard fans even voted first and started listening to it later.
Lin Zhixing did not do any publicity. Youdao is real gold and is not afraid of fire. There is no way this song will lose.
At the moment, he is practicing singing with Song Ge and Big Devil, and is preparing to shock the audience at tomorrow night's charity performance with "Left Finger".
…
Backstage at Bird's Nest Stadium.
"A successful start?"
Zhao Weiguang put on his headphones and immediately clicked on Lin Zhixing's song. He closed his eyes and turned on the listening mode to see if it was as powerful as Huang Xiao said.
The song begins...
“Dong dong dong dong dong dong”
A drumbeat with very ethnic characteristics sounded, followed by a chorus of "Oh oh oh oh" from many people.
The melody is dynamic and exciting, as if it brings people to the fiery arena.
Zhao Weiguang's eyes suddenly lit up. This intro was truly wonderfully created. It had an immersive magic after hearing it. It perfectly matched the potential of tens of thousands of people singing together.
It seems that old friend Huang Xiao is right. If he competes with the prelude, his song will have already been lost.
Soon, the main song part sounded.
"Happy, free and full of passion"
"Don't ask why stars can be picked"
"Success lies with me now"
"Defining the future and honoring the present"
Sounds good!
The song is cheerful and powerful, the melody is passionate, energetic and highly infectious.
Zhao Weiguang was completely attracted by the song.
"Hold your head high and feel happy"
"The end of the world is no bigger than your mind and my mind"
"You are friends from all over the world"
"Hearts unite to cheer you"
The lyrics are very grand and passionate.
Hearing this, Zhao Weiguang felt the freedom of no race and no age, and it was a refreshing feeling.
why is that?
Why is there such a feeling of being free from race?
Is it because the lyrics are so passionate?
wrong!
Zhao Weiguang thought about it, and after realizing it, he slapped his thigh. It was a musical accompaniment, using a large number of non-Nigerian traditional percussion instruments.
The characteristics of the musical instruments there are "freedom" and "a sense of vastness".
How wonderful!
Zhao Weiguang's heart surged when he heard this.
He actually figured out how to use non-Nigerian percussion instruments! This guy is so scary.
"Youth is a song"
"Facing the light, let's sing together"
"Look at the world at our feet"
"Kick the dream to the infinite sky"
Song Ge's female voice came over, and the sound of her mouth opening and kneeling made Zhao Weiguang's eyes light up again.
…
at the same time.
The creator Wang Dongsheng, who was also shortlisted, also clicked on Lin Zhixing's "Victory" at the first time and made a secret decision.
If I lose to him again this time, I will resign and retire.
"Singing together makes dreams grow and you make me grow"
"The flag is like the wings of the wind, you give me strength"
"GO is a success, GO is a success"
"GO is a success, and the GO world is boiling"
The chorus of the song is full of inspiring power, making people more confident and moving forward courageously.
Wang Dongsheng was halfway through listening to the song "Victory with the Flag", and a smile appeared on his lips.
It was a relieved smile.
"We are victorious and we sing together"
"The world is boiling, let's sing together"
After listening to the entire song, Wang Dongsheng swiped his mouse to vote for the song "Victory" and then slowly took off his headphones.
He glanced at the lyrics department of Haisen Records with reluctance and said in his heart: "You are so old. The remnants of the old era can no longer ride on the boat of the new era. From now on, the world will be dominated by young people."
"Back off!"
He then printed out a resignation report, filled it out, and called the official Weibo phone number.
"Hello, my name is Wang Dongsheng, and I want to withdraw from voting."
…
In a villa.
Xiao Shiniang and her nephew Zhang Long listened to the song "The Flag Begins to Victory" together.
After listening to the song...
Xiao Shiniang squinted her eyes with a smile, looked at her nephew and said, "Xiaolong, I disappoint you. It seems that I am only suitable for writing songs for your uncle, and I can't win against him."
Zhang Long, who also listened to the whole song carefully, nodded in relief, "It's okay, thank you, aunt."
It seems that "The Birth of a Group" was an illusory dream. They were in the same position at the time, creating the illusion of similar strengths and weakening the differences between people.
They were not traveling on the same road originally, they just happened to be waiting at a red light.
Zhang Long turned around and went to the bathroom, washed his face several times, looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and then dialed the phone.
"Hello, Zhenzhen."
"what happened, Babe?"
"Let's disband our group, I don't want to sing anymore."
…
Inside the Bird Cave Stadium.
After listening to the whole song, Zhao Weiguang felt that his scalp was numb, and he secretly raised his thumb in his heart. He really wanted to meet Lin Zhixing, a musical genius.
If your own song is compared with this song "Victory", then you have to throw it away. There is not even any comparison at all. From the intro to the end, it can be said to be a failure in all aspects.
No wonder his old rival Huang Xiao chose to quit the competition after hearing this song. If he had listened to this song, he would have made the same choice.
After some thought, he dialed the phone.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Weiguang."
"I don't understand. Do you have such a poor appreciation level? After listening to "The Victory", how did you have the nerve to include other songs on the shortlist?"
"Remove my works immediately. "The Victory" is the final answer!"
…
…
In the room of the principal of a senior high school.
Principal Wang, who is concerned about today's hot topics, also listened to the song "Victory" for the first time.
After listening, he felt the blood all over his body was hot, and he kicked away the drink bottle he had just finished.
The football king principal is very annoying, but when he listened to this song, he heard a different feeling.
youth!
Inspiring!
Chasing dreams!
This song is very suitable for students to use for running and gymnastics. It is also very suitable for campus sports meets. Students should listen to it carefully.
Then, Principal Wang called the physical education teacher.
Outside the playground.
"You are my little little apple"
"I can never love you too much"
At this moment, all the students are dancing magically to the music of "Little Apple".
"Hello? Principal Wang."
"What? Have you changed the music for running exercises now?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."
The physical education teacher hung up the phone, shook his head helplessly, threw off his long legs and went straight to the broadcasting room.
I complained in my heart that the principal really likes to follow the trend. After hearing "Proud and Proud Laughter Ten Thousand Waves", he changed the school's morning reading ringtone.
When I saw students from other schools dancing to "Little Apple", I immediately changed my recess exercises.
I listened to the song "Victory" again, and I have to change the running ringtone!
"Made, you're a bastard who's watching someone shit!"
five minutes later……
As usual, after the teacher's speech, the students formed a formation and prepared to run into the classroom.
As the teacher in the broadcast room pressed the play button, the music of "Victory" sounded, and the playground was in an uproar.
"What song is it?"
"Damn, so hot-blooded!"
"Oh, it's Brother Ye's singing voice. He's so handsome. I want to give him a monkey!"
The passionate singing ignited the enthusiasm of the students, and their running speed increased by 20%.
In the toilet.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he pretended to be squatting in a pit to avoid the bad boys running around.
At this moment, listening to the exciting music from the speakers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and an idea came to my mind.
"I really want to run and fuck..."
…
…
on Weibo.
In just 20 minutes, "Victory" went straight to the top of Weibo's hot search list.
Not only was the number of votes overwhelming, netizens also discovered that there were several songs missing and several more Weibo posts on the voting list.
[Zhao Weiguang]: "After listening to "The Flag Begins to Win", I feel that this is the theme song of the World Cup. I feel ashamed of myself. Please support "The Flag Begins to Win" a lot."
[Wang Dongsheng]: ""The Flag is Open to Victory" is the answer, so I won't take up everyone's time."
[Xiao Shiniang]: "I believe everyone will be able to hear this song on TV soon."
Lin Zhixing's Weibo also went viral, with netizens giving rave reviews.
"Personally I think the best World Cup theme song."
"I declare that Brother Oh Ye will become a god with this song!"
…
In a certain room.
Huang Xiao browsed Weibo and learned that his old friend Zhao Weiguang had also withdrawn from the competition. He smiled and shook his head.
"Old man, old man!"
