Chapter 370: Olympic Fever 24
For the Olympic theme song, in fact, Chen Feng has already had a draft in his heart, but it is another thing to keep improving.
It only took Chen Feng a few minutes to roughly write the lyrics of the theme song, and then spent more than half an hour composing the song.
But then Chen Feng kept revising and revising, and it was not until more than seven o'clock in the evening that the first draft was really completed. The main building had already urged him to go over to eat first a few times.
After Chen Feng returned to the main building with the first draft of the theme song, he handed over the first draft of the music to the women waiting in the living room. And he himself went to eat first.
The meals in the past two days were all cooked by the chef Xia Chunhua, and I have to say that she has made some progress in her cooking skills, almost the same level as Chen Feng's.
Chen Feng quickly ate a good meal and returned to the living room. At this time, the first draft of his theme song had been seen by these women together.
There are a few of them who know staves and staves, but it's a pity that Mengxue is not here, so they can't find someone to sing it directly, so they can only hum to the tune. As far as the melody is concerned, the women are a little amazing.
"The lyrics you wrote, we all feel okay, and the melody feels good, but I don't know how it will be when you sing it?" Momiji was the first to express his opinion.
The theme song of the Olympic Games is a thing that has attracted global attention, and it can also be said that it is a thing that will leave a name in history, Chen Feng personally does not care very much, but these women in the family are very concerned and valued.
"Then I'll sing it to you live now. ”
Chen Feng was also very straightforward, took a sip of the tea that Jessica brought him, cleared his throat and began to sing. In the living room, because only his woman was there, the children all went upstairs with Zhao Xiaolan, the grandmother, to play in the playroom, and for a while, except for Chen Feng's singing, they all fell silent.
After singing the song, Jessica was the first to applaud desperately with admiration and excitement, and when she came up, she gave Chen Feng a hug and incense, which made several women present frown slightly in their hearts, and some of them were jealous. Zhang Tingting was even more direct, snorted coldly very unpleasantly, and glanced at Jessica to express her dissatisfaction.
Jessica's cheekiness is also considered to be a good one in their Chen family, as if she didn't notice the dissatisfaction of the sisters present, and praised with a smile: "Husband, your singing is really amazing." And this is a live version of the cappella, I give full marks. ”
"Sycophant!" Zhang Tingting finally couldn't help it, and directly expressed her dissatisfaction.
Jessica winked at Zhang Tingting disappreciably and asked, "I'm just telling the truth." Do you think your husband just sang badly?"
"How could I say that?" Zhang Tingting glared, "I just can't get used to you slapping your husband's ass every day, and you are flattering." ”
Jessica still didn't care, her psychological quality was very strong, and she still said with a smile: "Tingting, I understand your dissatisfaction as a pot-bellied woman now." You haven't done it with your husband for so long*, and your endocrine system is naturally a little out of balance, which then affects your psychology and emotions. I don't care about you, it's a big deal that after you have a baby, I'll let you do it a little more, let my husband do it with you a few more times*, and make up for your current losses. ”
"You...... You're a scoundrel. Zhang Tingting blushed and had no way to take Jessica for a while. Moreover, Jessica also said most of her thoughts. Because she was pregnant, she had been "snubbed" by Chen Feng during this time, and she either slept alone at night, or could only fight with Wang Lan or Cheng Yuhan. And Jessica can have a spring snack with Chen Feng every night, can she not be jealous and unhappy?
"Okay, you two, let's talk about business now, where did you all go to the building?" Wang Lan interrupted the two of them to continue your correspondence, "Let's tell us how we feel after listening to this song, and it's best to put forward some of our own opinions." Let me start by saying that I don't think you have a very good name for this theme song. "Ode to the Dragon", which at first glance sounds a bit cheesy. Besides, how do I feel that the title of your song is a bit narcissistic. Your stage name is now known all over the world as the English pinyin of our national character "dragon", and your dragon song feels like you are celebrating yourself. What's more, although those foreigners now distinguish the dragons of our country from the dragons of the West because of your relationship, there are still many foreigners, especially Westerners, who instinctively classify dragons into the scope of evil and derogatory. This is an inherent concept in the cultural atmosphere of their Westerners. Do you think that's the case?"
Jessica retorted, "You can't say that. Because of the relationship between the husband, people in Western society are now very clear about the difference between the Huaxia Dragon and the evil dragon in our Western legends, and many people now worship the Huaxia Dragon, and some young people still tattoo the Huaxia Dragon on their bodies, which has become a fashion. And my husband named this theme song Dragon Song, I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. Besides, the dragon is the spiritual and cultural totem of China and China, and it is a national symbol that can best represent China. ”
Karina also nodded in agreement, "That's right. Now because of the relationship of long, many people can clearly distinguish the dragon that originally represents evil and evil in the West from the dragon of China, and as early as a few years ago, the English dictionary re-modified the definition of the English word long, adding two definitions, the first is Chen Feng's stage name, and the other is the dragon of China, representing the totem of Chinese culture and nation. Besides, since you Chinese people have always considered themselves to be the descendants of their dragons, and have always worshiped the dragon as the spiritual totem of their own nation, why should you care about some taboos from too many foreigners. You must know that this Olympic Games is the Olympic Games of your country, so you can do what you should do? It would be a great idea to always consider the perception of foreigners, or even to completely overwhelm one's own people. And it is also an outward manifestation of a great lack of confidence in one's own country and nation. ”
Wang Lan was speechless for a while by Jessica and Karina, two foreigners, who refuted it. If you think about it carefully, this is really the case, what should be done and how to hold the Olympic Games in your own country should first be based on the characteristics of your own country and nation, and you should also take care of and value the wishes of your own people first. The Olympic Games are indeed for people all over the world to see, and they are also a good platform and opportunity to show their country and nation to the whole world, but if they cannot base themselves on the basic point of their own country and nation, at most they will be flashy and unrealistic.
Chen Feng very much agrees with Karina's point of view in his heart, in the time and space of his previous life, it was because of this national lack of self-confidence that Huaxia Dragon was not selected as the mascot of this Olympic Games. If you look into it carefully, you will undoubtedly bring great regret to your own people. Because in the hearts of the people of their own country, or according to national feelings, the dragon, as the cultural and spiritual totem of the Chinese nation, is undoubtedly the best choice for the mascot of the Olympic Games.
As a result, because foreign countries have different definitions of dragons, or the definition is vague, taking care of the perceptions of those international friends, they have lost the spiritual totem of their own nation. This is undoubtedly very unwise in Chen Feng's view. The first is the lack of national self-confidence, and the second is to study it carefully, which is to damage one's national self-esteem. Just because it may cause ambiguity among some foreigners, it is necessary to abandon the totem of one's own country and nation, which is not hospitality or respect for foreign guests. It is a masochistic and self-humiliating attitude towards one's own country and nation.
You don't respect yourself and don't have self-confidence, so how can you make outsiders really respect you in their hearts? This is a very simple truth, but some people obviously don't understand it.
In a nutshell, it is: what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world. If you blindly cater to the world and others, hoping to gain the approval of others, you are likely to lose your most precious things. One of them is self-esteem.
Of course, even if Chen Feng has great influence in this life, to be honest, he is powerless to change the fate of the Olympic mascot in the domestic environment.
As for the current mascot Fuwa or something, and there are still five, honestly speaking, the people of my country really don't have much sense of identity with them. In the time and space of the previous life, this Fuwa mascot was hot for two years at most, and then almost disappeared in the country. It can be seen that the local people's sense of identification with them is very limited. On the contrary, the mascot of the Asian Games, Panpan, has been nearly 20 years since this year, and its cartoon image can still be occasionally seen on the market or in the lives of ordinary people. This is obviously due to a different sense of national identity.
"Although you have some truth in what you said, you can't say that what Sister Lan said is completely unreasonable. After all, our Olympic Games are open to the whole world, so it is natural that we should take into account the feelings and perceptions of other countries and people in all aspects. We must be careful not to let people from other countries see our jokes or cause unnecessary controversy. The Olympic Games have attracted worldwide attention, and we must consider the overall situation in everything we do, and we must put the overall situation first. Zhang Tingting's righteous words were distinguished by Wang Lan.
When Chen Feng heard her argument, he couldn't help but complain: "Tingting, you are really suitable to be an official." ”
Of course, Zhang Tingting could hear the irony in Chen Feng's words, and couldn't help but ask angrily: "Am I not right? Now the whole world is paying attention to this Olympic Games of our country, and the whole country is busy and paying attention to this grand event." This is the first global grand event since the liberation of our country, and it is a good opportunity to declare to the world that our country is prosperous today. So, of course, there can't be any difference in the pool. Since there are differences and differences in the understanding of dragons in the world, especially between the East and the West, we should avoid it, and there is no need to cause global controversy and discredit our country's Olympic Games. ”
Chen Feng was about to speak, but Hu Yingying retorted for him first: "Tingting, if you want to be the same as Wang Lan, it is a sign of lack of confidence. You must understand that the totem and symbol of our Chinese nation is the dragon, which is the root of our entire Chinese nation, and outsiders can not admit it, not accept it, or discriminate or misunderstand, but we ourselves cannot deny and deny this totem, let alone hide the roots of this nation in shame, and dare not reveal it to the world. And it is precisely because even now because of the relationship between my husband that there are still some foreigners who do not know our Huaxia dragon clearly, we should take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the Olympic Games as a platform for the world to promote the totem of our Chinese nation, so that more people around the world can recognize our totem, so as to recognize us, at least we should be able to take this opportunity to recognize the difference between our Huaxia dragon and the Western dragon. ”
Chen Feng nodded with a smile and said, "What Yingying said is exactly what I want to say. In fact, in my opinion, the mascot of our country for this Olympic Games should choose the totem dragon of our Chinese nation. But because some people are looking ahead and backward and are not confident, they choose what Fuwa is, and they also get five, and they have no sense of national identity at all. ”
"Why don't you have a sense of identity?" Zhang Tingting pouted dissatisfiedly, "I just look at the five Fuwa Ting cute." The kids in the family also enjoyed it, and as far as I know, a lot of people loved it. ”
Chen Feng smiled and asked, "Then if there is a cartoon dragon as the mascot, do you choose the cartoon dragon?
Zhang Tingting was speechless for a while.
Chen Feng continued: "We can't have this Fuwa in our family. Because there are rumors outside that this is a witch baby, first of all, their design is inspired by the pattern carvings on the burial goods in the cemetery, and the five colors represent the five disasters, we would rather believe it or not, let alone let the children touch it. ”
"Ahh Then they all looked at the newly bought sets of Fuwa mascot pillows on the sofa to the side.
Zhang Tingting had one next to her buttocks, and she hugged her for a while just now. Now as soon as he heard Chen Feng's words, his face couldn't help but change, and then he directly picked up the babe next to his ass and threw it to the corner of the wall.
Several other women also did the same, throwing the "mascot" around them into the corner.
"Is this rumor true or false? You can't make it up yourself, right?" Momiji asked, a little angrily. She had just taken a pillow and hugged it for a while. And now, like Zhang Tingting, she has a child in her belly, so naturally she is taboo, and she would rather believe it or not.
"Someone spread it on the Internet, of course I didn't believe it at first. But seeing that some people said that the head is the truth, and that several of you are still pregnant with children, I just talked about this matter again, so I just said it casually. Of course, in fact, this is probably the prank and rumor of some people on the Internet, and we don't need to believe it at all. (To be continued.) )
