Chapter 181: Creation and Transformation

As a reporter for a special issue of the "People's Daily," Liu Zhen began to collect information and conduct research and understanding of the interviewees after receiving the interview task sent by the above today.

He knows Zheng Qian, and has also heard Zheng Qian's songs, and likes the songs "Faith" and "Dead", and many colleagues are also familiar with Zheng Qian.

After all, the ratings of "Chinese Idol" are surprisingly high, surpassing the prime time of CCTV in the same period.

With such terrifying ratings, even if you haven't watched this show, you've heard the songs sung by the contestants.

For example, Zheng Qian, since the competition, the first song has been popular all over the Taiwan Strait.

Under this huge exposure, almost every young person has heard the name Zheng Qian to a greater or lesser extent.

But this time, the song "My Motherland" broke Liu Zhen's inherent impression of Zheng Qian in the past, which surprised him greatly.

originally thought he was just a pop singer, but he didn't expect to be a civilian cadre, and now "The Man Who Was a Soldier", which is popular in the army, is from Zheng Qian.

And when he had an in-depth understanding of Zheng Qian, he couldn't help but be amazed for a while.

Half a year ago, although Zheng Qian was not yet poor, he was already on the edge of the entertainment industry.

In the case of extreme lack of exposure, it is naturally impossible to become a popular singer, Zheng Qian at that time, in a more ridiculous tone, was just an unknown artist in the eighteenth tier.

So whether it's shooting print advertisements or commercial performances, in order to make a living, basically just give money.

Often run down, the labor fee that can be earned is only a few thousand yuan, and after deducting the miscellaneous costs, there is basically not much left, and it is a real moonlight family.

If you say it well, you are an artist, but if you don't say it well, you are unemployed and need to save young people.

But since participating in the "Singer" program held by CCTV Variety Channel, Zheng Qian seems to have changed as a person, his whole spirit is different, and every time he sings, it is an original work.

In fact, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the quality of these original songs, which is amazingly good.

It has been successively won by Liu Yihua, . E, Wei Yehong and other popular singers invited to cooperate, and they were even photographed by Universal Music in Hong Kong, and the two sides actually released two albums in a row in a cooperative way, and the first mini album "Humble Son", without any marketing publicity, exceeded 500,000 copies!

And now this album "The Long Road of Life", which is popular in the market, according to the latest data, is about to run all the way to millions of sales.

In this era, an album can get millions of sales, which is beyond the understanding of industry insiders, even a superstar like Liu Yihua does not dare to guarantee that he can get such sales.

It's no wonder that after Universal Music tasted the sweetness, it continued to cooperate with Zheng Qian in life or death.

Capital is profit-seeking, and if Zheng Qian is worthless, it is impossible to treat it like this.

This is only the superficial value, when Liu Zhen dug deeper into Zheng Qian's information, he found that Zheng Qian has performed quite well since he was specially recruited into the art troupe, and in a performance rehearsal, in order to help the comrades-in-arms art troupe solve problems, Zheng Qian directly created the music "Steel Torrent March".

Liu Zhen was shocked, he had heard this music, and even the "People's Daily" had commented on this march two months ago, and at that time, "News Network" also played this music, people thought that this music would be created by a big man in the industry, but they never expected that "March of the Steel Torrent" was actually written by a young man.

And this person turned out to be Zheng Qian.

This simply subverted Liu Zhen's imagination.

You must know that after the performance team of "March of the Steel Torrent" went out to visit with the leaders, this piece became popular in the entire Eastern European countries, and many music academies at home and abroad have played this music, which can be regarded as all the rage.

People have a lot of respect for this piece of music.

Even Liu Zhen never thought that this piece of music would come from a young man in his early twenties.

This is not the end, Zheng Qian's red songs "We Are Soldiers" and "When That Day Comes" have been promoted throughout the army and have achieved great repercussions, and they have just been selected for the latest issue of "100 Classic Red Songs".

Now, "My Motherland" has been born, as if the previous accumulation has been ignited all at once, and everyone has realized that Zheng Qian is actually a member of the Communist Party and an active civilian soldier.

In particular, the emotion contained in this song seems to have shaken the upper echelons, and the song has also been arranged in the primary school textbook of the people's education version.

And the related interview tasks also fell on Liu Zhen's head.

Liu Zhen has interviewed dignitaries and giants before, but it is the first time to interview celebrities, and he is also looking forward to meeting Zheng Qian in his heart.

There are only four people in the entire interview team, and in addition to Liu Zhen's assistant partner, there are two photographers who will accompany them, and in addition to taking pictures, they will also leave video materials.

......

On the other side, after Zheng Qian returned to the capital, he went straight to the family home of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.

The interview was scheduled for early tomorrow morning, and after Ren Xin received a call from Zheng Qian, she took the spare key and entered Zheng Qian's house to help wash the military uniform.

However, what made Zheng Qian a little embarrassed was that Ren Xin not only washed the regular uniform of the military, but also washed his underwear by the way......

Ren Xin didn't care, "Don't worry, I'll wash it by hand!"

Hand washing is embarrassing, sister......

Zheng Qian sighed and went to the balcony to look at his clothes.

He actually wanted Ren Xin to take it to the dry cleaners, but he didn't expect this sister to do it herself, although she was very calm on the surface, but she was actually quite moved in her heart.

There is plenty of sun, and the clothes are already dry.

Ren Xin picked up the iron and ironed it again, and it was so new that she could wear the army-green regular clothes without a trace of wrinkles.

She patted it with her hand, smelled it a little, and immediately happily said: "It's okay, it's all the smell of sunshine." ”

After receiving the regular uniform of the General Political Art Troupe, Zheng Qian wore it once except for taking ID photos, and the rest of the time was simply pressed to the bottom of the box, plus he belonged to the creative studio and would not perform at the grassroots level, so it was even more rare to wear this regular uniform once.

At this time, Hao Youfan also came to the house, carrying a haircut kit.

After all, he is going to be on the "People's Daily", Zheng Qian's hair is already a little long now, after washing his hair, if he is not shaped, his hair will hang between his eyebrows, and after being styled, he will have a bit of the taste of Cai Guoqing when he was young, which can be said to be a perfect fusion of the style of the times.

Artemisia Youfan himself is quite good at haircuts, and this time he is also going to trim Zheng Qian, there is no need for board inches, normal short hair is natural and comfortable.

After everything was taken care of, Zheng Qian put on his military uniform, stepped on his leather shoes, and stood in front of the clothes mirror.

"It fits perfectly. Ren Xin helped Zheng Qian tie his tie: "The dark blue set of air government clothes in the past looked very spiritual, and this dark green set looks very solemn, each with its own differences." ”

Hao Youfan looked at Zheng Qian, smirked vigorously, and sucked from time to time.

Zheng Qian was speechless.

"Brother Qian, my dream when I was a child was to marry a soldier brother, and I haven't hugged a soldier brother until now, it's a pity, you see ......" Hao Youfan said with a wistful face.

"No way!"

Ren Xin and Zheng Qian said in unison.

Artemisia Youfan was stunned for a moment, and then cried out.

Wang Gang, who was standing outside the door, looked at it in wonder.

Artemisia Youfan stopped crying instantly, and glared at him: "What do you see, haven't you seen a fierce girl crying?"

Wang Gang smiled.

After just trying it on, Zheng Qian changed into normal clothes.

Tomorrow is the interview time, although I am excited, but there is still something to do this afternoon, so after having lunch with Ren Xin and others, I asked Wang Gang to drive him to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.

When he arrived at the place, Wang Chuanjun had been waiting for a long time, and after a greeting from both sides, Zheng Qian took out the prepared lyrics and songs from his bag, put them in a document bag, and handed them to Wang Chuanjun, "Director Wang, fortunately, I finally rushed out in the fastest time, you see." ”

Wang Chuanjun didn't open it immediately, and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Qian very enthusiastically, "Xiao Zheng, it's hard work, come, drink tea." ”

Zheng Qian was flattered and took it with both hands.

Wang Chuanjun looked at Zheng Qian, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became: "To be honest, the most correct decision I made this year is to transfer you to me, I deeply feel that you can maximize your strengths here, since this song "My Motherland" was broadcast on Xiangnan Satellite TV, do you know how many leaders have called in the past few days?"

"I won't say much about compliments, it's almost formed a cocoon. ”

Wang Chuanjun said with a smile: "There is one thing I want to tell you, this is also the news I just received, the National Day theme party held by CCTV, and I want you to perform in the past, but now there is a situation that the performance quota for the song "My Motherland" is full......"

Zheng Qian was stunned, what's the situation?

"The song you are writing now, I asked you before, you said that you can't sing it alone, only the choir can perform the momentum of this song, I have repeatedly asked you if this is true, and you are still sure. ”

Wang Chuanjun smiled very thiefly, "Then now, there is such an opportunity to appear in front of the people of the whole country, let me ask you, do you want it, or don't you?"

Zheng Qian almost slapped the table and scolded his mother, but finally held back and smiled: "Who doesn't want such an opportunity? I want it too! Director Wang, don't hide your head and tail when you speak, I'm stupid and can't understand." ”

"What's not to understand about this?"

Wang Chuanjun said: "Give full play to your talent, and then write a song that you sing alone!"

Zheng Qian's mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

Shameless!

It's so shameless!

It's really a cabbage like this!

Wang Chuanjun was also a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "This, CCTV here, the funds are really limited! There is no labor fee, but our general political department will not let the subordinates chill, so I applied with our regiment and approved you 100,000 yuan of creative funds! Think about it and work hard, you know?"

"Got it, leader, thank you for your love. ”

Zheng Qian said weakly.

Wang Chuanjun pointed at Zheng Qian, laughed, and then opened the file bag with a fluttering eyebrow.

The next moment, he saw the name of the work at the top of the lyrics and music score - "The Soul of the Chinese Army".

He only glanced at it twice, and the whole person immediately sat upright.

Wang Chuanjun is a national first-class screenwriter, but at the same time, he is also a well-known military lyricist in China, a director of the Chinese Musicians Association, and now he is also an editorial board member of the editorial department of the "Song" of the China Music Association, and a researcher at the Military Music Research Institute of the Military Art Academy.

There are many titles, which also prove his own professionalism in music.

Therefore, when he read the lyrics and music of "The Soul of the Chinese Army" word by word, gradually, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by excitement and disbelief.

"If the Motherland is violated

Hot-blooded men should be self-reliant

Drink this bowl of hometown wine

Gone are the strong menβ€”"

Wang Chuanjun's eyes were red, and the momentum of seeing death as if he were at home in the lyrics completely shocked him.

A moment later, there was a snap.

Wang Chuanjun stood up with excitement: "Xiao Zheng, you ...... You ......"

Because he was so excited, his tongue was knotted, and he was incoherent for a while.

Zheng Qian picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip, and said lightly: "Director Wang, why are you so excited?"

Wang Chuanjun was stunned for a moment, crying and laughing, but he still couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Your song is so well written! Really, you kid is so capable of you! You are really the most spiritual songwriter I have ever met.

Zheng Qian looked at the happy appearance of this big man, and suddenly remembered what Yang Hongyi, the secretary of the air administration, said in his mind.

It seems that Wang Chuanjun's sister Wang Weihong is still the chief director of the two Spring Festival Galas?

Zheng Qian seems to have seen relevant news in the newspaper before, it seems that this year's Spring Festival Gala, Wang Weihong will take over the Spring Festival Gala!

So Zheng Qian coughed: "Director Wang, there is something I suddenly remembered......

Wang Chuanjun looked at the lyrics and music scores, and didn't raise his head, "You say." ”

"This ...... I heard that Director Wang Weihong is you?" asked Zheng Qian tentatively.

Wang Chuanjun paused and raised his head: "It's my sister, what's wrong?"

"Haha, it turned out to be true. ”

Zheng Qian lowered his voice: "You know, I'm a singer, which singer doesn't want to go to the Spring Festival Gala ......"

Wang Chuanjun suddenly smiled, "You didn't mention this, I almost forgot, Wei Hong is indeed the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, I also understand your thoughts, you want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, right?"

Zheng Qian also smiled and said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Wang Chuanjun smiled: "Don't worry, there will definitely be you in this year's Spring Festival Gala." ”

Zheng Qian was dumbfounded, it's so simple?

He couldn't believe it: "Is it really fake?" Director Wang, don't fool me, I will believe it!"

Wang Chuanjun finally got the lyrics and music score in his hand at this moment, "There is something I don't know if I can tell you now-but in fact, it's nothing to tell you, but first of all, I don't guarantee that things will change in the end." ”

You say. Zheng Qian's curiosity rose.

Wang Chuanjun said: "Not long ago, Wei Hong told me that this year CCTV will create a national talent show, which seems to be called "Avenue of Stars", in which the contestants with excellent performance will be directly connected to the Spring Festival Gala channel and directly appear on the Spring Festival Gala performance. ”

Zheng Qian was also shocked when he heard the name of the program "Avenue of Stars", good guy, this show is definitely the highlight of CCTV!

It seems that the high ratings of "Chinese Idol" have stimulated CCTV, and it has even started to produce similar programs.

"I heard Wei Hong say that one of the judges proposed on the side of "Avenue of Stars" is you. ”

Wang Chuanjun paused, and then said: "The jury and the top contestants performed on the Spring Festival Gala together. ”

Zheng Qian's heart was in his throat.

For a moment, I only felt my scalp tingle: "What did you say?"

"You are one of the judges tentatively proposed by "Avenue of Stars", and the jury and the contestants will go to the Spring Festival Gala together. Wang Chuanjun repeated.

Zheng Qian opened his mouth: "Are you sure?"

"The news is definitely certain, Wei Hong told me personally. ”

Wang Chuanjun said with a smile: "However, everything will change before the notice is given. ”

Zheng Qian suddenly rubbed his arms with his hands quickly.

At this moment, he really got goosebumps.

This news is amazing!

I'm still a player now......

Could it be that in a few months, he will be able to become a judge in CCTV's ace program?

This fate is really ****!
