Sarah Brightman was certainly a little embarrassed. Chen Feng, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, had to hurriedly introduce her to her: "Her name is Ziling, you can call her Lingling, she will also attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, this is her mother Su Yuyan, you can call her Su." She is also a good sister of my fiancée and accompanied Ling Ling to rehearsals. ”

Su Yuyan politely greeted Sarah and nodded, and then urged Xiao Ziling to greet her. Xiao Ziling said hello to her a little reluctantly.

Sarah didn't mind at all, she still looked at Xiao Ziling with a smile, and said from the bottom of her heart: "She looks really cute, just an angel." No wonder she will be chosen for the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games, is it also like the little girl in the Sydney Olympics that year, she will also sing a song solo at the opening ceremony? ”

"Yes. She will perform a solo at the beginning of the opening ceremony. "There is nothing to hide from Sarah about this matter, after all, Wuchao Xiaoziling will have to rehearse on the spot later.

"It's really amazing!" Sarah gave Xiao Ziling a thumbs up to her again, still smiling. Xiao Ziling is not good this time, and she is no longer polite. Before, she was mainly bewitched by the aunts and aunts at home, and felt that this foreign female singer was a bad woman. But after such contact just now, as a child, she has too much disgust in her heart for a very friendly person like Sarah. So, she also thanked her in English.

Sarah finally got Xiao Ziling's response, and immediately became even more happy, and even leaned over with some snakes on the stick, asked Xiao Ziling with a smile, and asked Chen Feng to be the translator.

Under Chen Feng's translation and Sarah's special flattery, Xiao Ziling slowly put down the shelf and chatted with her. It is mainly about topics that Xiao Ziling is interested in, such as piano, art, singing and dancing. It just so happens that Sarah likes this more. Therefore, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became.

However, there was not much time left for the two to chat, only ten minutes of effort, and this was still when there was a traffic jam on the road, and the car drove through the underground passage into the building under the black nest.

Chen Feng and his entourage were greeted by a staff member sent by Zhang Yimo and a music consultant, a musician in his sixties named Jiang Yong, who was meeting him for the first time.

The old musician's English was actually quite good, although the accent was not pure, but he still spoke fluently, according to his own words, he had been in Europe for several years more than 20 years ago, and had lived in England for a while. It can be seen that he likes Sarah Brightman very much, so much so that after greeting Chen Feng and introducing himself, he has been talking to Sarah non-stop, and talking about his views and opinions on classical music and opera. And the look in Sarah's eyes is even more with the kind of meaning that men understand.

This made Chen Feng a little speechless, and also made Sarah a little embarrassed, and she couldn't pull down her face to show the old consultant's face. According to the old consultant, the reason why their working group chose one of the singers of Sarah's opening ceremony theme song was that he also made a great effort to unite many friends in the music industry to promote Sarah.

Therefore, Sarah could only look at Chen Feng for help. But Chen Feng was also a little helpless for a while, but he was a music consultant. It's just the right match for these two singers. And they have the right to supervise and guide and even teach them a lesson.

In the end, Zhang Yimo relieved her, and not long before the two of them came to the large globe model, Zhang Yimo hurried over with a few people. The advisor who had been pestering Sarah all this time finally gave way to his place.

Zhang Yimo first welcomed Sarah on behalf of the working group, and then introduced to her what she was going to do and some precautions at the opening ceremony. Sarah looked serious and nodded as she listened.

After Zhang Yimai's introduction, he began to direct Chen Feng and Sarah to start tonight's rehearsal immediately. First, the two of them climbed to the end of the earth model together with the help of a moving ladder, and opened the entrance and exit above, allowing Sarah to stand on it and feel it for the first time.

Sarah's performance was very good, she didn't look afraid of heights at all, but stood on it with relish and looked around.

Zhang Yimai interacted with the two through the headset, and seeing that Sarah was not uncomfortable at all, he took the next step and instructed the staff to raise the earth model upwards.

As the height increased, Sarah didn't stand on the edge of the fence and looked down, she stepped back slightly and stood in the middle, getting closer to Chen Feng, because she was wearing a headset, she didn't want to laugh with Chen Feng, she just looked at Chen Feng with a smile, and then made a few praise gestures. Chen Feng knew that she was praising this model of the globe and the idea of the two of them standing on it together to perform. The way they appear and perform, and the terrestrial model as a stage and props, is really unique.

The two of them stood on the venue where the globe model rose to the center of the black nest, and they did not immediately connect to the live audio, but first sang and rehearsed the song live, without the sound amplifier, only sang it through the two-person headset with the accompaniment that came, and let Zhang Yiwipe and others listen to it and feel the effect when the two sang together.

The first time the two officially performed in this kind of scene and situation, they still had a tacit understanding, and the first time they let Zhang Yimo and others listen to it and nod their heads in approval.

Originally, they thought that Chen Feng and Sarah would definitely have to sing like this several times before they could officially pass the run-in. But the two of them only auditioned once and they were very satisfied, and they couldn't find anything bad at once.

Therefore, in order to save everyone's time, they did not ask Chen Feng and the two to audition without live sound skills, but directly connected to the live audio, so that the two of them immediately had a real rehearsal on the spot, and what they sang was no longer a substitute song, that is, Chen Feng's "Heart to Heart". Of course, the live audio amplifier must be turned down as much as possible. This allows for maximum confidentiality. In Chen Feng's opinion, this is really unnecessary. Although the theme song of the opening ceremony has been kept secret to give people a sense of anticipation and freshness, it is not absolute. The best example is the theme song of the Seoul Olympics that year, the song "Hand in Hand", which was sung around the world, was released early, and the Seoul Olympics attracted the attention of the world because of this song, and it has already aroused the interest and attention of people all over the world before it began.

Chen Feng had hoped that the Olympic Games in the capital would also come like this, but unfortunately this kind of thing was not something he could control, and even the theme song was officially finalized in the past few days, and it was only ten days before the opening ceremony.

However, now that this theme song is public, it is also very good in Chen Feng's opinion, and it is even better than keeping it secret. He has absolute confidence in his song, just like the song "Hand in Hand" back then, it will definitely be widely sung around the world for the first time, which is a superstar bonus effect of him.

Chen Feng felt that after this rehearsal, he could talk to Zhang Yimo about it, taking advantage of the efforts of the past few days, he and Sarah filmed a "Heart to Heart" promotional MV together, with the influence of the two in the world, this song will definitely become popular all over the world for the first time, and it can also make this Beijing Olympics hot as soon as possible.

The effect of the two live audition with sound is still very good, and the cooperation is still very tacit, and there is nothing wrong with the singing of a song. However, this time, Zhang Yiyan still let the two of them audition twice in a row. A total of three auditions, neither of them made any mistakes or mistakes, which is perfect. Zhang Yimai ended the rehearsal between the two with confidence.

After the speaker was turned off and the headset was turned off, Sarah finally spoke to Chen Feng: "It feels really good!" What do you think? ”

Chen Feng also nodded and said, "It's really good." You can hear the live acoustics too, it's world-class. It's even better than when I did a concert around the world. ”

Sarah said with a smile: "I don't mainly mean the live sound, but the feeling of singing this song with you, as if we have known each other for decades and worked together for decades, don't you think this feeling of heart-to-heart connection is very good?" ”

Chen Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "We have a very tacit understanding. Because we are all powerful singers and professionals, singing is our specialty. I think it's normal for us to do our job in the professional field. ”

Sarah shook her head again and again, "Of course not. I've worked with a lot of other singers, and those singers are very strong in singing, but I've never felt like I was in touch with you tonight. Perhaps this is what Buddhism calls karma. I think it's very compatible with you. ”

Chen Feng could only be a little speechless, but fortunately, at this time, the two had already gone down to the ground, so Chen Feng smiled apologetically at her, and then chased after Zhang Yi, who was about to leave.

"Director Zhang!" Chen Feng stopped Zhang Yimai, and then told him what he meant.

When Zhang Yimo heard that Chen Feng actually proposed to announce the theme song in advance, a pair of eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and after a while, he said: "This matter, even I can't make a decision all at once." The decision can only be made after a meeting and consultation with the superior. ”

When Chen Feng heard that he not only had a meeting, but also asked his superiors, he couldn't help frowning. It's only been a few days since the opening ceremony, and you still have a meeting and ask for instructions? When the results came down, the opening ceremony was over.

"Director Zhang, don't you need to ask your superiors? Tomorrow night is the official rehearsal with makeup, and there are 70,000 spectators watching, Sarah and I can't go up and sing other songs, right? When the time comes, as long as I go up and sing this song, it will be announced in advance. Therefore, there is really no need to keep it secret as a state secret for the past few days. By releasing the theme song a few days in advance, I felt that with the popularity of Sarah and I in the world, we could better attract the attention of the world and warm up for the opening ceremony. You say, don't you? ”

Zhang Yiyan nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense." But I really don't have the right to make a decision on this matter alone. In this case, you go to the meeting with me, and as long as everyone at the meeting agrees, I think the superiors will agree. However, when you talk about filming the music video with Sarah, I don't have the time and energy to do it right now. You can do it yourself, and now you can be a great director. ”

Chen Feng was not modest and refused, and nodded directly: "That's okay." Anyway, this MV is still going to be filmed, so I'll shoot it myself from tomorrow. Let's go over to the meeting first. ”

Zhang Yimo didn't have any opinion on Chen Feng's attitude, but appreciated it a little, and took Chen Feng over to the meeting with a smile.

The place of the meeting was the command center where Chen Feng had been last time, and after Zhang Yiwipe came over, he greeted him loudly, and the people inside hula-la-la-la-hued around him, standing or sitting.

Their team has several meetings almost every day, so they don't pay too much attention to the form after a long time, and they can hold meetings anytime and anywhere.

Zhang Yiwipe first took a notebook from the assistant's hand, and then discussed it one by one according to the above records, some of which were relatively simple, Zhang Yiwipe decided directly after saying it, and no one else objected, even if it was passed. Some of them are more complicated, and as soon as Zhang Yiwipe brings them up, many people below are arguing about it, and it is very noisy. There were even a few people who quarreled loudly while talking, and Zhang Yimo could only shout loudly to stop them temporarily.

Chen Feng looked at it a little painfully on the side. Sure enough, Zhang Yiyan, the chief director, seems to have a lot of power, but in fact this is really not the case. Which of the people around him who was able to enter the preparatory team for this opening ceremony didn't matter at all? Even some people's backgrounds are still very big, Lao Zhang, the chief director, is not a decoration in their eyes, but there is not much awe. It can be imagined that there have been many contradictions since the formation of this team, and it is really not easy for Lao Zhang Juzhong, a peacemaker and mediator.

When Chen Feng thought of this, he felt a little sympathetic to Zhang Yiyi.

After a big argument or a big quarrel, Zhang Yimo finally decisively interjected the topic that Chen Feng proposed to announce the theme song in advance. At that moment, two people loudly raised objections, one was the music consultant Jiang Yong, and the other was Zhao Gang, who still held the title of music director.

Jiang Yong's reason for opposition was that the content of the program was kept strictly secret before the opening ceremony, which was their plan all along, and it was also approved by the superiors. Now the opening ceremony is only a few days away, and it is best not to do anything special, and it is best to continue to implement the original plan step by step. His implication is that more is better than less. His reasons for this are "very good", at least many people don't feel the need to take the risk to make the change. (To be continued.) )
