Chapter 242 - This year's light and excessive Chinese people
Plus chapter this year's light Chinese people are both second and more heart-to-heart
Time passed minute by minute, an hour, two hours, seeing that the hour hand of the clock was about to jump to the scale of midnight, Liu Shiqing really couldn't hold it up, and leaned on the sofa in the room, "I'll sleep for a while." Mao Yan. Xia Kangtian. If you two want to sleep, squeeze into the bed. Junwei and hateful of the sky. Feel free to do whatever you two want. ”
Then, Liu Shiqing's head tilted, and he fell asleep heartlessly. At the same time, in the conference room of the London Olympic Organizing Committee. The committee members were already arguing, and the committee members were gossiping about their opinions, saying everything, and some people had even patted the table and asked why the director team of the opening ceremony had such a big arsenic leak, and why they didn't invite Liu Shiqing and them at the beginning, but they didn't think of asking Liu Shiqing's opinion until after the last rehearsal.
Of course, not everyone is in favor of a change of players. The reasons for disapproval are also varied, some say that it is too late to come up, and some say that the "Beautiful Yin'er" rehearsed by the director team is very good, not bad at all, and there is no need to change people. Even Christopher Blair put out the images he took with his phone. There are still people who strongly express their disagreement with the change of generals.
The meeting room was noisy, even in the most lively wet market in the world. The argument lasted for more than three hours before the opinions gradually reached a consensus, and the chairman of the organizing committee, Lord Davos Livingson, and the vice-chairman, Lord Clindilkohl, talked their heads together and discussed in low voices for a short time.
Lord Cole coughed, "Ladies and gentlemen. Now there are only a little more than 18 hours until the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games, and less than 20 hours before the theme song is unveiled. If the opening ceremony of the Olympics is likened to a war, then the enemy has surrounded us, and now is the time for us to make a choice. Lord Livings and I understand everyone's feelings very well, and the members of the director team have poured countless efforts into the opening ceremony, changing the generals and changing the tunes, and they are even more uncomfortable than us, but there are some costs that must be paid.
One thing I think you all have in common with me is to create an opening ceremony that the world will never forget whenever we bring it up. Four years ago, the Yanjing Olympics were too impressive. The Chinese government mobilized 22,000 people to participate in the opening ceremony, which is absolutely impossible for us in England. So we can only win by surprise and find a new way. The theme song of this Olympic Games is the program we have high hopes for, and it is also the one we have the most likely to surpass the Yenching Olympics.
My personal opinion, Mr. Liu Shiqing, as the main creator of "Beautiful Galaxy", his opinion must be respected. Ladies. Gentlemen, time waits for no one, we can't afford to delay, now I propose that we raise our hands to vote, and decide whether to change the singers of "Beautiful Galaxy" in accordance with Mr. Liu's opinion in accordance with the principle of the minority obeying the majority. ”
Lord Cole was the first to raise his arm, and so did Mr. President. Lord Livings is actually under the most pressure to change the singers of the theme song, after all, he is the chairman of the organizing committee and the absolute leader of this year's Olympic Games. If the opening ceremony were to be ruined, the spittle of the British people would have drowned him.
Soon the results of the vote came out, and there were more than that; Two-thirds of the members of the organizing committee agreed to change the generals. Christopher Blair, as an observer, said after the voting results came out: "Ladies and gentlemen, my opinion is that we should make preparations with both hands, find someone to rehearse first, and see the effect of the rehearsal at 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow. Personally, I think that ensuring a smooth performance at the opening ceremony is the most important thing. ”
Lord Livingens, the chairman of the organizing committee, nodded, "I agree with you. ”
Lord Cole slapped his face. "Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, let us adjourn. I'm going to find Mr. Liu now, hoping that he will lead the singing of the theme song of this opening ceremony, because only he is the person who can best dig out the connotation of the theme song, and only he is the most likely to successfully complete this impossible task in such a short period of time
Lord Livingx hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it to Lord Cole, who knocked on Liu Shiqing's door again with Nerrere and Christopher Blair.
Liu Shiqing rubbed his loose eyes and yawned, "Lord Xing'er, are you here?" What is the outcome of the consultation? ”
Lord Cole smiled reservedly, "Mr. Liu, good news, bad news. The good news is that our organizing committee voted and felt that we should respect your opinion, so we thought about changing the generals, and the bad news is that you may be tired, and we hope that you can come forward to host this event, and you will guide the singing of male and female singers. This is a handwritten letter addressed to you by Mr. President
After Liu Shiqing read the letter. Lord Cole continued, "Mr. Liu. We decided to use the female singer you recommended, Ms. Xia Kangtian, and the male singer is our famous British singer James Blunt. James served as a royal bodyguard and also participated in the Battle of Corso. Chi's singing is heavy, sad, and carries a sense of the vicissitudes of history. Judging from his experience and his own characteristics, he is one of the singers who is most likely to fulfill the requirements of Mr. We have been in contact with him and James is happy to say that he is willing to cooperate with the needs of the organising committee. ”
Liu Shiqing was extremely depressed, he didn't think about getting involved in the opening ceremony from the beginning, he just wanted to be a guest comfortably, sitting in the VIP seat, leisurely enjoying the grand occasion of the London Olympic Games. Rather than laboriously participating. "Lord Cole, can I not go? As you know, I don't have any experience, let alone directing people to sing the theme song for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. What's more, I don't have all the five tones, so I can't instruct others at all. Well, I recommend Mr. Blair to you. He's better suited than I am
Christopher Blair waved his hand repeatedly. "No, dear Liu, don't be ashamed of me. In other ways, you may not be as good as me. But I don't have the slightest grasp of the song "Beautiful Galaxy", and if I continue to direct, I still can't grasp the essence of the song. There is no more suitable person in the world than you, and I am willing to be your assistant to assist you in completing a qiē. ”
Liu Shiqing really hated that he had nothing to talk about. The talisman is smaller, it's also a talisman, just because of his identity as the main creator of the theme song of the London Olympics, no matter where he goes, ordinary people don't dare to touch him. But I'm still not satisfied, I have to blame the director team of the opening ceremony, it's good, I put myself in. Now the opening ceremony is only a dozen hours away, to think in such a short time. Putting James Blunt and Xia Kangtian, two singers who have never worked together, is a good run-in, which can be done without moving around and talking, and it has to be done with a lot of hard work.
Liu Shiqing really wanted to resign this matter, but looking at the appearance of Lord Cole and Christopher Blair and others, their eyes lit up, like a wolf, if he dared not agree, it is estimated that these two people would dare to do the act of kidnapping. He looked back at Xia Kangtian, who stared at him without blinking, with a thick begging in his eyes. Without Liu Shiqing's guidance, even if Xia Kangtian appeared on the stage of the London Olympics, he would not have any self-confidence, and he would have to perform badly.
Liu Shiqing secretly sighed that he couldn't shake his hands this time, and there would be no one similar to Wang Zewei and Ding Chongxiang at this time to come over to help him deal with the problem, only he rolled up his sleeves and went into battle shirtless. "Okay, I'll promise to help."
Lord Cole smiled with relief, "Great, Mr. Liu, on behalf of all the members of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, I would like to thank you. Mr. Liu, Mr. Blair, I will leave the matter to the two of you. Tomorrow at twelve o'clock at noon, Lord Livings and I will come. Check your results. ”
Lord Cole didn't stay long, he got up and left, and when he left, he left Nerrere behind, regardless of Liu Shiqing's needs. Nerrere will be in charge of solving the problem, and the work will be centered on completing the perfect interpretation of the theme song.
James Blunt will have to come over for a while, Liu Shiqing originally wanted to seize the time to squint for a while, but Christopher Blair didn't give Liu Shiqing a chance at all, and pulled Liu Shiqing to start discussing, what kind of skills should be used in the process of singing, what Blount and Xia Kangtian should pay attention to when they are singing, what problems should be paid attention to when connecting, and the noise made Liu Shiqing's head bigger than three, don't think about sleeping. I had to discuss with him.
Liu Shiqing carried forward his own style, talking less and listening more, and Christopher Blair has always expounded his views, and only when he said too much, Liu Shiqing would come forward to correct his understanding. Xia Kangtian sat next to the two of them. Listening attentively to the discussion between the two people, it's a pity that Liu Shiqing and Christopher Blair are both convenient and speak English, Xia Kangtian relies on his poor English level, and it is really difficult to understand the conversation between the two people.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Blunt rushed over, he was wearing a pair of blue jeans, an ordinary white shirt, dressed very casually, if it weren't for Blair's conclusive words that he was James Blunt, Liu Shiqing would have been hard to believe that this person was one of the most famous male singers in Britain.
Blount and Blair are old acquaintances. The two exchanged ideas first, and Blair especially explained the difficulty of this temporary change, stating that this is only a temporary decision, and whether he can go on stage in the end depends on the results of the practice, if the results of the practice are not ideal, the time of the morning will be in vain. In other words, there is no guarantee that we will be able to attend the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
Blunt didn't hesitate at all, and readily agreed, but what made him a little difficult to accept was that it was not Christopher Blair who led this practice, but the little-known Liu Shiqing, a Chinese who was too light this year. (To be continued)
