The rise and fall of the main theme songs in China beats with the pulse of the times.

The main theme song first flourished in the fifties and sixties, when the country was first established and renewed, the whole society was full of vigor and vitality, and works reflecting the style of the times emerged in an endless stream, giving birth to many classics.

In the seventies and eighties, China achieved great unification, reform and opening up moved towards prosperity and prosperity, the people's material life has been greatly improved, and the main theme songs have followed the pace of the times, and a large number of famous young singers have emerged, which are still active in the mainstream today.

After entering the new century, the main theme songs, like national songs and popular songs, became less and less classic, the style was the same, and the melody was played again and again, gradually losing its original status.

However, at the political level, the vitality of the main theme song is still extremely tenacious, and many major festivals in China, such as National Day, Army Day, Victory Day, etc., have always been the protagonists of the main theme works.

For example, at the 2015 National Day Gala of Beijing Satellite TV, there were as many as 15 singing and dancing programs, accounting for 70%, of which there were as many as 11 main theme works.

There is no need to think about ratings for this gala.

Lu Chen was temporarily replaced to sing solo, so when Gu Rui deliberately asked him to sing the main theme song, he immediately thought of many classic main theme works from the dream world in his memory.

There are so many tracks to choose from, and just one of them is enough to make a splash.

Not to mention anything else, there are two versions of "I Love You China" alone, in addition to the version that Lu Chen just sang. The other version is actually more classic, and it is a true leitmotif style.

However, after careful consideration, Lu Chen still chose the version he was currently using.

The reason is simple. A question of composition and singing style.

The other versions, while classic and more in line with the requirements, are very different from the style of his previous works, including the melody and the content of the lyrics, including the way of singing.

At present, the melody rhythm and emotional expression of this version of "I Love You China" are still very good, it adopts the technique of first raising and then suppressing, expressing gratitude, affection, love and blessings to the motherland.

Although the accompaniment made improvised is very rough. But Lu Chen incorporated sincere emotions when singing.

Among them, the lyrics of "I love your beloved mother in China, I shed tears for you and am proud of you!" were sung 10 times over and over again, and each time it became more intense!

For the "audience" of the scene. First of all, their feeling is very fresh.

I really haven't heard such a main theme work before!

Lu Chen's "I Love You China" is obviously not pure, or the familiar style of the main theme. It's more pop-leaning. It incorporates a lot of soft rock characteristics, which is refreshing.

And the emotions expressed in Lu Chen's singing moved them again!

There is no doubt that it is a good song.

At least Gao Zhixue listened attentively, completely ignoring the shortcomings of the accompaniment, and nodding frequently along with the melody.

He didn't even know when Gu Rui would appear by his side.

Until Lu Chen finished singing.

In the studio hall, there was immediately warm applause.

Although there were only 100 people on site, the atmosphere created was not bad. Quite a few even stood up and applauded.

"Director Gao, how do you feel about this song?"

Gu Rui asked with a smile. A little smug.

He took the risk and strongly recommended Lu Chen, Lu Chen didn't let him be embarrassed, and really gave him a long face!

Gao Zhixue came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Gu Rui, he immediately smiled: "Yes, this song shouldn't be Lu Chen's own original, right? I've never heard it before." ”

If such a work had not been newly created, he could not have not heard of it.

Gu Rui nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Gao Zhixue sighed: "Today's young people are really amazing, one generation is stronger than the next!"

When Director Gao said this, he didn't notice the face of Director Lu Zhengzhi who was sitting on his right.

Lu Zheng furrowed his brows, and suddenly reached out and patted the microphone placed on the table in front of his seat.

Poof!

He asked, "This little comrade, did you write this song yourself?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes." ”

There was a soft noise in the audience, and everyone was admiring Lu Chen's talent.

Lu Zhengzhi moved his butt a little uneasily, he straightened his waist, and said very seriously: "This little comrade, the lyrics of your work are okay, and your creative talent is worthy of recognition, but the style is not very coordinated with the National Day Gala, we need to reconsider." ”

What the?

Gao Zhixue, Gu Rui and the staff of Beijing Satellite TV at the scene were stunned.

Isn't this song very compatible with the National Day Gala?

Lu Zhengzhi probably realized that he was not clear enough, and added: "That is to say, the characteristics of the main theme are not reflected, and it is too much like an ordinary pop song." ”

This reason

Gao Zhixue was a little speechless, is it a bone in an egg?

Gu Rui was suddenly anxious, his face turned red in an instant, and he shouted: "This"

The music director of Beijing Satellite TV appreciates Lu Chen, and also appreciates Lu Chen's song "I Love You China".

Although this song seems a bit deviant as a main theme work, both the melody and the lyrics are excellent, and it should be regarded as a unique innovation.

The main theme works have gone from glory to decline, and such innovation is too needed, and it should be strongly encouraged and supported.

How can you be beaten to death with such a stick!

Gu Rui's personality is upright and uneven, and he immediately wants to argue with Lu Zhengzhi.

But Gao Zhixue reacted very quickly, immediately stopped Gu Rui, and said to Lu Zhengzhi: "Let's think about this song again, or it is more appropriate to change it." ”

Gu Rui is not happy, how happy is he in his heart!

It is true that Lu Zhengzhi's level is higher than him, but Lu Zhengzhi is the leader of CCTV instead of Beijing TV, so the veto of the program on behalf of the superintendent is inevitably suspected of being slapped in the face on the spot.

However, nominally, CCTV has the responsibility of guiding Beijing Television in many aspects, and Lu Zhengzhi is here for this, and his reasons cannot be said to be completely wrong, at least Gu Rui should not and cannot directly conflict with him.

Lu Zheng smiled straight and leaned back comfortably into the seat.

Since he is here, he must not be a clay sculpture bodhisattva, and he must make a sound.

Everyone's eyes returned to the stage - Lu Chen was still standing there!

Many of the staff members who acted as audience members showed sympathetic looks, and any newcomer who was knocked on a stick like this would probably be extremely depressed, right?

What everyone didn't expect was that Lu Chen's expression did not change in the slightest due to Lu Zhengzhi's denial.

He pondered slightly, and said into the microphone: "Director Gu, two leaders, in fact, I still have a piece that may be more suitable, can you let me sing it again?"

Well?

Sing it again?

Lu Zhengzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

He turned his head to look at Gao Zhixue, his expression a little unhappy.

If it was CCTV's evening rehearsal, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Zhengzhi to agree to such a request.

If everyone wants to give another chance, wouldn't it be all messed up?

And Lu Chen is also suspected of not respecting the leader enough.

But after all, this is Beijing Satellite TV, and the rehearsal is the evening program of Beijing Satellite TV, he has already made a move just now, and it will be too shameful for Gao Zhixue to make his own decisions - is it really muddy to be the director of the editor-in-chief's office?

So Lu Zhengzhi gestured with his face and let Gao Zhixue decide for himself.

Gao Zhixue's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

The director of the editor-in-chief's office is really not muddy, and the clay man is still angry, he thought for a while, and said categorically: "Lu Chen, then you can sing another song!"

In fact, this is not in accordance with the schedule, but Gao Zhixue doesn't want to be eaten to death on his home turf.

So many people in the station are watching!

Where does his face go?

Gu Rui looked overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Lu Chen, do you want to go down and prepare first?"

Director Gu was worried that Lu Chen was not fully prepared for the temporary change of songs, and if he sang again, it would really be over.

He was very reluctant to see Lu Chen lose this opportunity to come to power.

Lu Chen smiled confidently: "Thank you two leaders, thank you Director Gu, I can sing this song a cappella." ”

His smile infected Gu Rui, making the latter inexplicably feel a sense of trust, and said, "Okay then." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

He took a deep breath and said into the microphone: "This song is also my original work, and its name is - I love you China!"

What the?

Everyone in the studio wondered if they had heard it wrong!

Didn't Lu Chen just sing "I Love You China"? Why do you want to sing I Love You China now?

Love again, no, sing again?

Lu Zhengzhi let out a "ha", and Gao Zhixue and Gu Rui's expressions froze.

Behind them, there was a lot of chatter.

"Did I hear me right?"

"Did he say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? ”

"Is this Lu Chen confused!"

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. ”

But whether it was the faces of the TV station leaders or those criticisms, it did not have the slightest impact on Lu Chen.

He opened his vocal cavity and directly rushed out another new song with a main melody style!

"The lark flies by from the blue sky, I love you China~

I love you China, I love you China~

I love your vigorous seedlings in spring, I love your golden fruits in autumn,

I love your green pine temperament, I love your red plum character,

I love the sweet cane of your hometown, as if milk moistens my heart~

……”

When Lu Chen sang the first lyrics with a loud and pure singing voice

The audience was awe-inspired!――
