Chapter 1079 Official Media Report
In the recording studio, the enthusiastic melody, the lyrics praising the spirit of unity and hard work, and the unrestrained and wild soundtrack, in the interpretation of Yang Ming and Li Feifei, showed extraordinary wonderful vitality and super appeal.
Both Minister Guo and Chairman Feng, as well as the rest of the studio staff, were attracted to the music and became obsessed.
Even, the bodies of individual employees with active personalities swaying silently with the music can be seen in the infectious power of this song.
Keep your head up and be happy
The end of the world is nothing but you and me
You are a brother from all over the world
Hearts are joined to cheer you on
Staying-forever-young
Singing-songs
underneath-the-sun
See the world at our feet
Kick your dreams into the sky
Sing along
Khan makes dreams thrive
You make me grow
The flag is like the wings of the wind
You give me strength
In the previous life, although this song had a strong African flavor, in this life, Yang Ming and the people below him slightly changed the soundtrack, and gathered a very exciting drum beat, so that Minister Guo and Chairman Feng and other listeners who heard "Flag Victory" for the first time in this life felt more that the passion brought by the song was flying.
Not only is the melody of the music extremely infectious, as if as long as you hear this song, everyone's heart suddenly has an unrestrained gene beating, and they can't help but sing loudly in the green field;
Listening to Yang Ming and Li Feifei's singing, Chairman Feng's eyes were full of excitement and excitement.
Now in his whole mind, there is no other thought, that is, this song, no matter which music bigwig the sports department is looking for, no matter how good the song is, but he decided in his heart that it is this song.
The Asian Cup is the Football Asian Cup, which is originally an internal affair of the Football Association, not that the cooperation between the two sides is not good, but the sports department's stubborn and aging thinking, which is not in line with the way they work in the Football Association.
The theme song that the officials came up with was a good song, but it wasn't suitable for football.
Therefore, now that he heard the song "Flag Victory" taken out by Yang Ming, Chairman Feng made up his mind that the theme song of this Asian Cup is this song.
A moment later, after the last melody was over, Yang Ming picked up the water cup beside him, took a sip of water, and before he could speak, applause rang out.
"Good!"
President Feng stood up while applauding, and then he said firmly: "I have long heard that Xiao Yang you are a demon and can't look at it with ordinary eyes, today I can be regarded as knowledgeable, just this song, Xiao Yang, you will rehearse with Miss Li Feifei from now on, and the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Asian Cup next month will be the two of you!"
Seeing that Chairman Feng was so excited, Minister Guo didn't say anything and showed satisfaction, this is indeed a good song, and it is very suitable for the theme of this Asian Cup.
It was in vain that he pushed Yang Ming out this time.
As soon as Yang Ming took a sip of water, he heard Chairman Feng say that he had determined that his song was the theme song of the Asian Cup, and he almost choked on a mouthful of water.
Li Feifei also showed surprise next to her, her eyes were full of joy, although she is now a well-known superstar singer in the entertainment industry, but her influence is more limited to China and has not spread to the whole of Asia, if she can take the opportunity of the Asian Cup to make her career to the next level, then for her, it is undoubtedly pie in the sky.
I received a call from Yang Ming last night asking her to come to the audition this morning, and when she arrived at the company, she learned that it was a song written for the Asian Cup, which made her startled.
Fortunately, with Yang Ming's explanation and assurance, he was relieved.
At this moment, Minister Guo spoke: "Xiao Yang, you haven't said what the name of this song is?"
"Winning the Flag". Yang Ming said.
"It's a good start, and the name is so appropriate. President Feng clapped his palms and continued to applaud, now he is satisfied with this song, and naturally everything is good, "Victory, success, and victory in a hundred battles, this is the spirit that our football competition will always pursue." ”
When Minister Guo heard this name, he also nodded, the atmosphere is simple, and it is a good song name.
"Lao Guo, wait for the meeting later, you can tell them, anyway, I don't care, the person was suggested by you, and now I am very satisfied with the song, just this song, not it!" Chairman Feng looked at Minister Guo with a smile and said.
"Okay, you old Feng. Minister Guo pointed at Minister Feng and scolded with a smile.
Chairman Feng shook his head instead, no matter what Minister Guo said, he just didn't refute it, and recognized the song.
Although he is straightforward, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, how can a stupid person become the Football Association, maybe he is not used to the bends and curves in the officialdom, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, so even if he decides to use this song "Flag to Win" as the theme song of this Asian Cup, he must not be hard.
Undoubtedly, Minister Guo is his best ally.
The candidate for Yang Ming was proposed by Minister Guo, and Minister Guo is also a ministerial-level official, so it is impossible for others to ignore any opinions he said in this regard.
After the matter was settled, Yang Ming and Li Feifei ran in several times in a row, and then found the best version, recorded a CD for Minister Guo and Chairman Feng to take away, and went back to the organizing committee to review it.
"Okay, you can concentrate on rehearsals, and don't be weak next month. Before leaving, Minister Guo patted Yang Ming on the shoulder and instructed.
After saying this, he and Chairman Feng politely rejected Yang Ming's offer to send them downstairs, and the two left for a while.
"Yang Ming, do you think this matter can be settled?" When Yang Ming returned to the recording studio, Li Feifei asked with a complicated expression, "If according to our qualifications, it is too reluctant to go to the opening ceremony of the Asian Cup." ”
What is reluctant, if it is really according to seniority, Yang Ming and Li Feifei have no chance at all.
Yang Ming knows this very well.
"It should be eight or nine. Yang Ming touched his chin and pondered, with his understanding of Minister Guo, if he was not sure, he would not say that sentence when he left, so let him and Li Feifei prepare well.
"Really?" Li Feifei's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, to be honest, until yesterday, she really couldn't imagine that she still had the opportunity to wait for the opening ceremony of the Asian Cup, this opportunity was too important to her. "Thank you, Yang Ming. ”
Since she got out of the nightmare former agency with the help of Yang Ming, and then Yang Ming personally tailored an album for her, her career quickly reached its peak and became one of the most popular female singers in the Chinese music scene in the past two years.
It can be said that without Yang Ming's help, there would be no glory for her Li Feifei today.
Especially Yang Ming's gaze at her is always the kind of pure confidant and friend's eyes, unlike other people in the entertainment industry who look at her like a hungry wolf looking at its prey, which makes her heart full of gratitude to the man in front of her who is younger than herself.
"What is there to thank, as a boss, this is what I should do, I still expect you to make me a lot of money!" Yang Ming laughed and diverted the topic.
In the previous life, the most popular version of "Flag Victory" is naturally the chorus version of Xueyou and Liangying, of course, there is also a solo version of the two of them, and one person can sing it.
However, Yang Ming thought about it and sang the same as in his previous life, after all, in addition to his identity as a singer, he is also the boss of Dongfang Huayin, so he naturally has to think about the people below.
When Li Feifei heard Yang Ming's words, she smiled, knowing that Yang Ming was joking, in fact, with the friendship between them, there was no need to say thank you, Li Feifei was also too excited in her heart, after a while, her emotions quickly calmed down, she suddenly thought of a question, and couldn't help asking:
"Yang Ming, why don't you want Sister Xiangjun to sing with you?"
Oriental Huayin Records, the biggest signboard at present is Li Xiangjun, the diva who is known as the goddess of music in the music world, and the following are Li Feifei and Ayumi Hamasaki, but in terms of qualifications, they are not half a star behind Li Xiangjun.
According to convention, a God-given opportunity like the Asian Cup, in other record companies, will definitely choose Li Xiangjun instead of her Li Feifei.
Yang Ming smiled freely when he heard this, and then looked at Li Feifei seriously with his eyes and said: "Even if Teacher Xiangjun does not participate in the Asian Cup, she does not need to prove her status in the music world, and I feel that the song "Flag Wins" is not suitable for Teacher Xiangjun. ”
Li Feifei pondered silently, thinking about it.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's hurry up and grind together, and I'm going to go to Oriental DreamWorks in the afternoon to do post-production for the film editing. Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, this woman, whether it is a diva or an ordinary woman, this mind is too sensitive, no wonder it is said that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea.
The two began to sing together, and then it was up to Minister Guo and Chairman Feng to see the news, and it was estimated that there would be no results in a day or two.
Yang Ming won't inquire, there are too many things that he needs to deal with now, and he can't wait to split himself in half.
――――
It has been almost two weeks since the release of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", and the local box office has exceeded 2 billion, once again setting a new local box office record.
That's a shocking statistic.
Especially in the film industry, in the face of such a demonic box office result of "Three Kingdoms", they both feel desperate and have a hint of joy.
Could it be that the spring of the film market has really arrived?
Otherwise, a movie, and it is still a domestic film, no matter how amazing the box office results are, there is a limit, but the performance of "Three Kingdoms" has broken the speculation and bottom line of all film companies.
This is no longer a movie, but a money printing machine, and it is crazy to grab money every moment.
The most relaxed thing for all film companies, "Three Kingdoms" uses such shocking box office results to tell everyone that domestic films are not hopeless, and Hollywood blockbusters are not unbeatable.
Take a look at which movie is now at the top of the box office list in the United States?
It's "Three Kingdoms", not "Pacific Decisive Battle" with pure Hollywood blood.
"Three Kingdoms" uses ironclad facts to tell all Chinese filmmakers that Hollywood blockbusters have never truly dominated the global film market, and pure Chinese films will not end up miserable and unwatched as soon as they go abroad.
As long as the quality of the movie is excellent, as long as the movie is really good-looking, as long as you shoot it with your heart, foreign fans still buy Chinese movies.
In particular, the government's verbal "People's Daily" also devoted a lot of space to reporting on the sensation caused by the release of "Three Kingdoms" abroad, adding several halos to this movie.
"China's young director Yang Ming's new film "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", with the majestic history of the Three Kingdoms as the background, artistically processes the folklore that has long been popular, and moves it to the big screen, which has made a huge sensation at home and abroad, and even countless foreign fans queue up to buy tickets in order to watch this Chinese historical blockbuster. ”。
The epic war scenes of the movie have conquered countless movie fans and audiences, and the costumes of the Han Dynasty have fascinated countless fans. ”
"Yang Ming proves through his new film that if Chinese films want to succeed around the world, they do not need to deliberately shoot pictures of backward areas in China, but to win the approval of foreign fans and some institutions, on the contrary, this kind of obviously ugly film exposes the incompetence ...... some filmmakers."
Yang Ming didn't expect that "Three Kingdoms" would be reported in the news report of "People's Daily", and the length was not small, and when he read the comments inside, he couldn't help shouting.
The attitude of Huaxia in this world is indeed hard enough, and it does not care about the faces of some people at all.
In fact, he didn't have any opinion on the so-called Taoguang Yang's attitude in his previous life, after all, the strength of the Chinese country in his previous life was indeed not strong enough, and it was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
But he just feels disdain for some domestic filmmakers who are proud of winning awards abroad, looking at the movies they make, the China that basically shows is related to poverty, backwardness and ignorance, of course, this is also related to the inducement of those foreign film award institutions.
The key point is that these award institutions don't need this, what they need is to scandalize China, so these institutions induce some local filmmakers to make this kind of work that shows the ugly side of China through various awards.
If you don't shoot like this, you will never win an award.
This phenomenon was very obvious before the 08 Olympics, and after 2010, it only improved slightly, after all, at that time, countless foreigners traveled to China and saw the real China, although there are also poor places, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as in the movie.
In the past life, there were such filmmakers, and this life is no exception, especially under the so-called lax and democratic laws, this kind of filmmakers are like fish in water and above board.
Yang Ming naturally does not have a good impression of this type of filmmaker, and he is relieved that "People's Daily" used his film as the topic and ridiculed those filmmakers, even if he was blocked and robbed, he didn't care.
Every country has good and bad, China has it, Europe has it, there is one country in the United States, and there are all over the world, but the eyes of these filmmakers are like flashlights, only shining on their own homes, but not looking at the darkness outside, which is contemptible.
The box office of "Three Kingdoms" rose again on the heal of the People's Daily and the media with an official background.
And the rise of the foreign box office is also quite stable, in this regard, the Ministry of Culture of the government has made a great effort, this kind of opportunity to detonate the global public to discuss Chinese culture is too rare, it can be said that after the end of the Cold War, the global political environment is becoming more and more towards economic development, as in the past, the opportunity to use politics and the military to promote Chinese culture abroad is completely impossible, everything depends on the strength and normal entertainment industry propaganda.
Chinese films like "Three Kingdoms" that can achieve a global sensation have been lacking in the past ten years.
