Calm!

It's not time to make a decision!

Zheng Qian hinted at himself, and then continued to wait for Wang Chuanjun to review the lyrics and music.

After a long time, Wang Chuanjun let out a long breath, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins! This lyric is absolutely amazing! Xiao Zheng, what do you think of this head, you can write such a work in just a few days?"

Zheng Qian said with a smile: "Freezing for three days is not a day's cold, I actually thought of the melody of "The Soul of the Chinese Army" when I wrote "Piano Torrent March"......"

Wang Chuanjun looked at Zheng Qian in a daze, and then gave a thumbs up: "Cow!"

After sighing again, Wang Chuanjun made a phone call and called Li Yuming, the head of the chorus and orchestra of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.

Li Yuming will be the chief conductor of "China Junhui" in this National Day Gala.

Like Wang Chuanjun, as soon as Li Yuming got the lyrics and music, he looked at it a little, and immediately spoke incoherently excitedly: "Xiao Zheng, it's really better to hear than to see, this song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" is too angry with me! I can now imagine the picture of the day of the performance, this arrangement, the momentum is grand, the lyrics are sonorous and powerful, it is too shocking!"

The wrinkles on Li Yuming's smiling face deepened: "Director Wang, your creation room really has a general! Xiao Zheng alone can definitely top five regiments!"

The troupe referred to here is naturally a song and dance troupe.

Wang Chuanjun also smiled: "Lao Li, you can't say this casually, if you spread it, you will kill Xiao Zheng!"

Zheng Qian also hurriedly said: "Li Zhi has won the award." ”

Li Yuming shook his head with a smile, and played the "Chinese Army Soul" in his hand, "My words are not untargeted, Xiao Zheng, I have always been paying attention to you, "Steel Torrent March" was written by you, right? Our orchestra also often rehearses this piece, which is really refreshing, in the past two days, "My Motherland" has also become popular all over the country, and now there is such a song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" , I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen such a good composer, and the keywords are written very beautifully, and I'm still a singer myself, which is really an all-rounder!"

Zheng Qian was a little embarrassed to be praised.

After that, the three of them went to the recording studio together and began to officially arrange the music.

In the afternoon, the members of the General Political Choir gathered together to receive guidance from Zheng Qian.

The choir has a total of 69 people and belongs to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, but the General Political Choir has the right to requisition choirs from major art troupes, so many times, at large-scale galas, the audience can see different types of military services such as sea, land and air standing on the same stage and singing.

And this time, in order to bring an unprecedented performance at the National Day Gala, the General Political Department issued a document to requisition 20 chorus members from each of the Air Political Art Troupe and the Haizheng Art Troupe to form a 100-member choir with the General Political Choir.

In addition, the performers of the General Political Orchestra will also participate in the performance of "The Spirit of the Chinese Army".

On a stage, there will be at least one hundred and twenty people.

Zheng Qian left after exchanging the details of "The Soul of the Chinese Army" with Li Yuming.

At this time, it was already late at night, and when he returned to the family courtyard of the General Political Department and sat in his room, Zheng Qian's mind echoed with today's everything.

He thought of the singers in the choir who were rich and vigorous in spirit, and when they tried to sing "The Soul of the Chinese Army", the sacredness and brilliance on their faces, and the huge cohesion, deeply shocked Zheng Qian's heart.

For a long time, Zheng Qian never thought about the connotation of the song when he was composing, only considered whether it was suitable or not, and even every time he wrote a song, he had no psychological burden.

But today, the choir teachers taught Zheng Qian a lesson.

Every song, especially works like "The Spirit of the Chinese Army" and "My Motherland", is more than just about singing them.

It's about experiencing the meaning of the song, and performing it with the emotions and mindset of respect, reverence, and admiration.

Teachers praise and respect themselves.

But it's not about respecting yourself, it's about the people who create them.

In the process of communication, a choir member named Jiang Hua told Zheng Qian.

Singing is actually a kind of performance, and a good singer is actually a good actor.

It is necessary not only to convey the voice to the audience, but also to convey the emotions that you want to express to the bottom of the audience's heart.

Many singers will brew emotions before performing on stage, and the most direct and effective way is to substitute the perspective of the songwriter and the story of the songwriter.

After Zheng Qian listened, his heart was touched.

The singing voices of the choir teachers echoed in his mind, and he tapped his desk with his hand, and the slow rhythm sounded, and he also hummed softly:

"I love you China, beloved mother

I'm crying for you, and I'm proud of you......"

In the silent room, Zheng Qian suddenly stood up, imitating the gestures of Li Yuming's command, imagining the situation of the young man who was working hard and studying abroad, so he waved his hands and sang softly:

"Sometimes I feel lonely and helpless

It's like a pebble rolling down a hillside

But just remember your name

I will always regain my faith

Sometimes I lose my bearings

It's like a swallow in the sky

But just think of your existence

I won't feel scared anymore......"

The room was dim, no lights were on, and the roar of cars could be faintly heard in the distance.

On such a night, Zheng Qian sang this song with tears in his eyes.

After singing the song, Zheng Qian came back to his senses from his wonderful state, sat on the edge of the bed, and was silent for a long time.

Then, he started writing songs.

This song "I Love You China" will become Zheng Qian's first work on the stage of the National Day Gala.

......

The next morning, Zheng Qian made an appointment with Liu Zhen, a special reporter for the People's Daily, in a bookstore in Nanluoguxiang.

This bookstore was hidden deep enough, Zheng Qian searched for a lot, and searched all the way according to the house number before discovering the location.

The bookstore was quiet, except for a few bookcases full of books, and four or five English short, Siamese cats licking their paws and watching the customers who entered the store.

There was only one female store manager in the bookstore, and when she saw Zheng Qian coming, she stepped forward to greet her, and then walked towards the corner of the bookstore with Zheng Qian.

At this time, Liu Zhen had already stood up, looked at Zheng Qian with a smile, and waited for Zheng Qian to get closer, then he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, hello." ”

"Just call me Zheng Qian. ”

Zheng Qian looked at Liu Zhen, who was in his early thirties, polite, and his mouth seemed to be a little crooked when he smiled.

The two sides shook hands and met before taking their seats.

The store manager brought two cups of coffee and glanced at Zheng Qian curiously, but he didn't seem to be too interested, turned around and left.

Liu Zhen was very professional, showed Zheng Qian his documents, and after a little chat, he started working.

There were two photographers next to him who had already started working, one taking pictures and the other taking pictures, and Liu Zhen also turned on the voice recorder and put it on the table.

The assistant writes next to it.

Although the interview began around the song "My Motherland", Liu Zhen seemed to want to dig something deeper, so he talked about Zheng Qian's childhood as soon as he opened his mouth.

For example, Zheng Qian's primary and secondary school information, even where he studied at the time, what his performance was in school, the teachers and classmates who served as Zheng Qian's homeroom teacher at that time, etc., were all said by Liu Zhen very easily.

Zheng Qian was very surprised, because he didn't remember some people and things, but Liu Zhen was like a treasure, and even brought a passage from the middle school homeroom teacher, all of which were words that Zheng Qian was proud of, which made Zheng Qian's jaw fall to the ground in shock.

Is the original unit of the "People's Daily" the Intelligence Investigation Bureau?

Even Zheng Qian had a creepy feeling.

Looking at Zheng Qian and shocked and puzzled, Liu Zhen smiled very happily: "In addition to the intranet for us to query, our newspaper's intelligence collectors are all over the country, no matter what is investigated, you can take the material as soon as possible, and you are a public figure, some information is easy to check, for example, you wrote a song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" yesterday In addition, let me tell you one more thing, your father Zheng Wei's Duowang Fresh Milk Company just bought a ranch in Hohhot two days ago. ”

"And in North China, Ling Zun also acquired a logistics company......"

Zheng Qian feels that this reporter named Liu Zhen is too arrogant, isn't this an invasion of privacy?

Liu Zhen coughed and said with a smile: "I know what you think now, but there is no way, we must review these materials, because the above favors you, and intends to mold you into a model of contemporary youth, set up a model of the times, and you will become one of the top ten outstanding young people in China in 2004." ”

China's Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons were selected by ten major news units such as People's Daily, Guangming Daily, and Youth Daily, and Zheng Qian has become this year's candidate, only to be announced at the end.

Although Zheng Qian had heard about this matter, he really supported the reporter of the People's Daily, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Your background is normal, even if you live overseas for five years, we can mostly grasp the situation. ”

Liu Zhen said: "Okay, now that I have a general understanding, I will start to ask formal questions." ”

Zheng Qian immediately straightened his attitude.

Liu Zhen smiled and asked, "Why did you accept an interview with People's Daily?"

The first question was simple, apparently to put Zheng Qian at ease.

Zheng Qian didn't blink his eyes, and said bluntly: "Because I often read the "People's Daily"! Especially after reading the outline of your interview, I feel that you are very thoughtful, and you really want to write a good interview with people, so we should be able to talk frankly." ”

Liu Zhen laughed out loud, there are not many young people who like to watch "People's Daily" at the moment, Zheng Qian's calm posture when he lied, Liu Zhen secretly sighed, this mixed entertainment industry is really exquisite.

He then asked, "How did you create and express your music?"

Zheng Qian's lines are simply backwards: "I train myself to keep writing, constantly to be familiar with the already determined way of expression, and then let this consciousness flow into my heart, into the blood, constantly revised, repeatedly learned, about learning, I believe that every creator has a deep experience, learning can become a truly mature self, one day when you express yourself completely instinctively, you will find that the expression of 'I like' is naturally formed." ”

"We all know that you have worked hard overseas for a period of time, why did you choose to return to China for development?"

Hearing this question, Zheng Qian's first reaction was that he couldn't get along, but then he thought that this was an interview, so he said seriously: "Why do you want to return to China for development? In fact, the reason is very simple, if you feel happy and comfortable going home, and feel that returning to China is more useful to learn, you should come back." Although there are still many aspects of the gap between China and developed countries, this is not what you and I found, as early as more than 100 years ago, the Qing Dynasty sent the first batch of students to this problem. The point is that the distance is now narrowing, and that includes the efforts of several generations......"

"And I think my generation is still very fortunate to have caught up with this great opportunity for China to move towards a modern power. ”

"Wait a minute, do you think we're going to be a modern power?"

Liu Zhen was a little surprised.

For now, Chinese mainland's GDP has just risen to sixth place, and this is the result of the rapid increase in foreign trade after joining the WTO three years ago.

Prior to this, compared with developed countries, China was simply poor, although the GDP rose to the sixth place, which can be regarded as a demonstration of China's strength, but it is obviously still a long way from a modern power.

Although it is obvious that life is getting better and better, many people still yearn for life abroad.

"Of course!"

Zheng Qian replied confidently.

No one understands China better than him!

There are some things he actually doesn't dare to say, because he is more afraid of the so-called butterfly effect, China's speed in his previous life has shocked the world, and there is no need for him to cheer China up.

Everything will develop like a good place.

Liu Zhen was thoughtful.

Later, he began to ask questions: "Your first two albums were big sellers and achieved good results, but in fact, the albums are basically pop songs, such as "My Motherland", but this is the first time that a work of patriotism has been released, have you ever thought that this song would be so popular? We know that the Ministry of Education has positioned this song as a basic song for patriotic education, and has been selected into the textbook of the People's Education Edition, and this song will affect the young people of China for a long time to come. ”

Zheng Qian shook his head and said: "I didn't think that I could achieve such an influence, I was really surprised, isn't patriotism what every Chinese person should do? I just wrote this spirit in the song." ”

Liu Zhen smiled, this answer is really leaky.

He doubled his notes and continued to ask, "What did they ask of you when you worked with Universal Music, or what kind of conditions did you talk to them, whether it was music control or life?"

"I'm not qualified to negotiate conditions, and they won't interfere with my creation. ”

Zheng Qian paused and said, "I remember that when Wan Feng handed me the contract, he only said one sentence: this contract is the best treatment for any Chinese musician. ”

Wan Feng did say this sentence, but this is the beginning of the album "The Long Road of Life".

Before that, Zheng Qian still remembered that Universal Music wanted to sign him and buy out five of his songs in a month.

However, now that both parties are in the honeymoon period, Zheng Qian naturally will not make this matter public.

After answering a few more questions, Liu Zhen couldn't help but ask a personal question: "I'm very curious, when you were creating, did anyone call you and say Zheng Qian, should you write something else? Because we all know that many of your works have different genres. ”

Zheng Qian said solemnly: "Of course there is! There must be! For example, many music critics on the Internet are my predecessors whom I particularly respect, and what they say is absolutely reliable! This is why there are many works with different styles in "The Long Road of Life" - I am actually quite stubborn, if someone says that my song is not good, I will write another song, and write until this person finally likes my work, you see, now there are obviously fewer people who hate me on the Internet, and they can always find a song they like from my work. ”

The staff next to him laughed when they heard this.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhen asked Zheng Qian about creation, life and other aspects, and even slightly mentioned the upcoming publication of "The Three-Body Problem" overseas, which made Zheng Qian's whole story image completely plump, and finally ended the Q&A.

Liu Zhen was very smart and did not ask Zheng Qian about emotional matters, nor did he ask about related things such as being transferred to the General Political Art Troupe, which is a little sensitive for Zheng Qian, who is now on the rise in his career.

At this point, an interview about Zheng Qian of nearly 10,000 words has finally come to an end.

About Zheng Qian, a man who combines wisdom and talent, is about to appear in public.
