Chapter 126: An Unexpected Call
Twilight falls, the night lights of the capital are gorgeous, the streets are bustling, the road is busy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city that never sleeps, and the noisy people on the street are different, in the highest school of music, a conference room of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, but it seems surprisingly quiet!
The size of the conference room is not large, there are five old Chinese people sitting in it, and three middle-aged foreigners, several Chinese old people look at each other, and then an old Chinese man slaps the table heavily. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Mr. Daniel, isn't it a bit disrespectful for us Chinese music to say that? An old man in Chinese clothes said angrily.
I saw this foreigner named Daniel shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mr. Yuan, I am just stating a fact, for the selection of the theme song of our World Cup in France, coming to China is just a formality, we all know that for the theme music of this kind of world large-scale event, Europe and America have an absolute advantage, as for Asian music, it is incompatible with us Europe to a large extent." ”
The old man in Chinese costume who spoke just now is named Yuan Zhongting, who is a visiting professor at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, and is mainly the vice chairman of the National Music Association, mainly researching foreign music, especially the music of Latin America.
Now the world is soliciting the theme song of the French World Cup, of which Daniel is the head of the Asian region, he is a famous music master in France, appointed by FIFA, responsible for the selection of theme songs in the Asian region, and has previously screened the shortlisted songs in several countries such as RB South Korea, and each country in the Asian region can screen two songs.
Due to the fact that in countries with more developed entertainment industries such as RB South Korea, the selected songs still do not satisfy Daniel, so for China, which is relatively backward in the entertainment industry, Daniel thinks that it is just a formality, and the theme song will definitely be produced in Europe or America!
At this time, another old man said: "Mr. Daniel, we have an old saying in China, which is called: It is better to speak than to be there, and it is better to gamble than to hear." Why did we come to a conclusion before we had selected our Chinese songs? ”
Daniel looked at the old man who spoke, only to see that the old man had deep eyebrows and deep eyes, and he had an awe-inspiring momentum, although he was a little forced by the momentum, Daniel still said: "Since Mr. Luo said so, then we will see you at the selection meeting tomorrow." ”
After saying that, Daniel left the conference room with two assistants, Yuan Zhongting said: "The songs have been preliminarily selected into 50 songs, including the works of famous song producers, and it is no wonder that people look down on us, I am studying foreign music, and I just listened to a few songs, which are completely out of place." ”
After that, the old man surnamed Luo said: "Atrium, don't be too harsh, if you want to talk about this kind of World Cup-type songs, we are indeed a little weak, let's screen it first, so that we can know it in our hearts." ”
The rest of the old men also followed, this Luo Lao happened to be Luo Shangxing, a domestic music champion, and the other three are also authoritative figures in the music industry.
At this time, Luo Shangxing's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was his granddaughter who opened it, he couldn't help but feel comfortable, apologized to everyone present, and came to pick up the phone outside the conference room...
When several old people listened to about 20 songs, they were all a little lost, and at this time Luo Shangxing remembered the singer named Eason mentioned by his granddaughter, and said: "Old Yuan, see if there is a singer named Eason with the author, listen to his songs!"
Lao Yuan was stunned for a moment, took the various document bags and began to rummage through them, and after a while, the composer, lyrics and singing were all Eason's records and put them into the player.
A drum beat comes to mind, with a distinctly Latin style, followed by the rousing symphony of trumpets and the whistle of a football.
Yuan Zhongting, who studies foreign music, couldn't help but "huh" and said: "This is Kanga drum and Tianba drum, with trumpet and whistle on the football field, wonderful!"
Luo Shangxing also heard this song for the first time, because during the primary election, it was not these old people, if it was really like that, these old people would have to be exhausted to death, so these people also heard it for the first time.
"TU-Y-YO-ALE, ALE, ALE (You and I, a!"
"go, go, go-ale, ale, ale"
"Arriba-VA (Moving Forward)"
"el-mundo-esta-de-pie (The world is at our feet)"
"go, go, goale, ale, ale"
Knowing that the song "Cup of Life" was played, there was a brief silence in the conference room, and after a while, only a "pop" was heard, and it was Yuan Zhongting who slapped the table fiercely, startling the other four people who were still immersed in the music.
"That's it, even better than the one I wrote myself, this "Cup of Life" will definitely make that Daniel speechless!" Yuan Zhongting said excitedly.
Luo Shangxing was also deeply shocked at this time, he had just passed the phone call of his granddaughter Luo Lan, and he already knew that this "Cup of Life" was the young man he liked very much when he was doing a show in Binhai. I didn't expect him to be able to write such a song.
Suddenly thought of his granddaughter's request, and couldn't help crying and laughing, but whoever let himself love this granddaughter, there was no way, so he picked up the phone and dialed Wang Cong's phone.
Wang Cong hadn't slept at this time, just thinking about waiting until dawn to rush to the airport and return to Binhai, and suddenly remembered that the phone was an unfamiliar number, so he hesitated and connected.
"Wang Cong Xiaoyou, I don't know if you remember me?"
Wang Cong heard the voice on the other side, Hong Zhongli was powerful, and said with some doubts: "I don't know who the old gentleman is?"
Luo Lao laughed dryly twice: "I'm Luo Shangxing!"
Wang Cong was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked: "Hello Luo Lao, don't you know what is the matter with calling the kid so late?"
Luo Lao said weakly: "That's the case, for the selection of the World Cup theme, there will be a live singing session tomorrow, and the first place must be present, so you have to come to the capital tomorrow, and your entry track "Cup of Life" is likely to be the first place song and recommended to the French headquarters." ”
Wang Cong feels very normal, if "The Cup of Life" can't get the first place, it is not normal. After thinking about it, he agreed: "Old Luo, in fact, I happen to be in the capital, and I will definitely go back tomorrow to participate in the selection meeting." ”
Luo Lao put down the phone, then called his granddaughter back, and finally returned to the conference room with some eyebrows and smiles, to discuss tomorrow's selection process, Luo Lao proposed to change the meeting process, and increase the requirements for the top five song singers to be on the scene.
Wang Cong didn't know that because of himself, Luo Lao, who was very particular about the rules, actually changed the rules of the selection process.
