Just when the Chinese Internet was still arguing and fighting over whether Liu Huan sang the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games or Li Lin sang the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, on the other side of the distant ocean, a storm was brewing in the United States of America.

In March, the famous hip-hop singer Akon said in an interview with the magazine, "I recently received an invitation to sing the theme song of the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics, and I feel very excited, this is not the first time I have gone to the ancient land of China, but it is the first time to sing with this kind of invitation." ”

"I feel very honored, of course, I can quietly reveal here that I am not the only one who sang the theme song of the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games, as far as I know, quite a number of well-known singers have been invited, of course, who are the specific ones, I will keep it a secret here."

Who is Acan?

A popular singer in the American hip-hop industry, he is known as a candidate for the king of hip-hop, and his every move is very influential in the American music scene.

And the Olympics themselves are a topic.

Regardless of whether they support the Beijing Olympics or not, as soon as words related to the Beijing Olympics appear, the media will immediately come out to talk about their views.

"I have always felt that Huaxia is not suitable for holding the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Organizing Committee does not know whether it is a brain pump or something, and actually chose Huaxia as the host of the 08 Olympic Games.

"Akon is actually going to Beijing to sing the theme song of the Olympic Games, and Akon is not the only one who has been invited, let's guess. How many celebrities have been invited to sing the theme song of the Olympic Games in Beijing. ”

"broke the news that Akon, Avril Lavril, and LadyGaga have confirmed to participate in the singing of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games."

It was as if Akon had opened his head. A large number of artists came out and began to spontaneously promote the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"North. Beijing Olympics? I know. I'm also going to sing for the Beijing Olympics, Korean fans, please watch the Beijing Olympics. - Lee Hyori.

"It is the first time I have received the invitation to sing for the Beijing Olympic Games, I feel very honored, and I hope I can dedicate a song that you like to everyone." - Ayumi Hamasaki.

"The singing of the opening ceremony of the 08 Beijing Olympic Games, I hope everyone must come to see it." - Dutch national treasure diva Laura Ficky.

"I received an invitation inexplicably, but this invitation surprised me, the theme song of the Beijing Olympics in '08, I think I should go and learn Chinese." - Madonna.

"It's been a long time since I've received an invitation. I didn't expect that I could still receive an invitation after quitting the music scene, but it seems that I can't refuse, 08 Beijing Olympics, I hope everyone can pay attention together. - Michael. Jackson.

Michael. As soon as Jackson spoke, the whole world boiled.

Michael. Who is Jackson?

The king of world pop music, the god of music in the music industry, his fans are all over the world, and his album sales are calculated in hundreds of millions.

He represents one era and continues into the next.

He is a well-deserved king.

In front of him, it doesn't matter if it's Madonna or whoever. They all had to bow their heads and praise the 'God of Song'.

However, he had long since retired.

Aside from charity, he hardly attends business events, but this time. He actually received an invitation, and he happily went.

In the United States, you can ignore the '08 Olympics on the other side of the ocean. But you can't help but follow Michael. Jackson, his influence has gone beyond the music scene. radiated the whole society.

When he spoke, the whole of America was boiling.

"Is MJ going to sing the opening ceremony of the '08 Beijing Olympics? It's shocking. Can anyone tell me when the opening ceremony of the '08 Beijing Olympics will start? I must go and see it. ”

"Big love MJ."

"The Olympic Organizing Committee was wise this time and invited MJ, and I promise to go and see it."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

On the Internet, in TV stations, newspapers, and magazines, the 08 Beijing Olympics are discussed everywhere, and even in terms of influence, it has surpassed the impact caused by the gold medal group's buyout of the five major American television networks to broadcast the "Beautiful China" series of documentaries in prime time.

This is not to say that MJ's influence surpasses the reach of the five major television networks in the United States, but that MJ's talk about the Beijing Olympics in '08 is more extensive than the "Beautiful China" documentary series.

"Beautiful China" is just a documentary, and even if it is broadcast in prime time through guò's buyout of the five major American television networks, the number of people it attracts is extremely limited.

Because not everyone likes documentaries.

MJ, on the other hand, has influenced an entire era and will radiate its influence to the next era, so to speak, has a large number of passers-by.

"When did we invite those kings and queens?"

In the conference room of the Central Propaganda Department, a person said loudly: "Clarify, must clarify, this matter must not go on in chaos." ”

The European and American world has made waves, and those kings and queens are saying that they have accepted the invitation to sing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but the problem is that the Central Propaganda Department has never invited European and American kings to sing, except for the British diva Sarah. Brightman.

One was not invited, and the other said he had been invited.

If you don't get it right, both sides will turn into mouth cannons.

If it is in peacetime, the mouth cannon will also be the mouth cannon, and the Central Propaganda Department is not afraid at all, when have they flinched in the face of foreign gossip?

But this time was different.

The Olympic Games are imminent, the whole world is watching China, if there is a half-point difference, the entire Central Propaganda Department will be responsible for the death.

"Not only to clarify, but also to find out who is there to spread rumors."

The other person waved his arms angrily, "We absolutely can't tolerate this kind of thing acting in the name of the Central Propaganda Department, check." Be sure to check it out. ”

"What do you take?"

Luo Yongheng spoke slowly, "The kings and queens of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are not the kings and queens of our Huaxia. In Huaxia, we can dispose of these kings and queens at will. But when we go abroad, I'm afraid the name of our Central Propaganda Department will not be very good! ”

Examine?

Of course, there is no need to check.

He dared to pat his chest and bet that Li Lin did this thing.

Whether it is the diva of Japan and South Korea or the diva of Europe and the United States, they all have a lot to do with Li Lin, and he has not forgotten that Akon and LadyGaga came to China to sing with the gold medal stars that the magazine broke some time ago.

It's just that he didn't expect that Li Lin's influence was so great, and even MJ, the king of pop music who had withdrawn from the music scene, was pulled out by him.

"And instead of investigating, it's better to consider the feasibility of this matter."

Luo Yongheng said lightly: "The song "Me and You" was originally scheduled for Liu Huan and Sarah. Brightman sang a duet between the two singers. This represents the handover of the Olympic torch between China and the UK, as well as the friendship between China and the UK. ”

"But the song "Welcome to Bei*Beijing" is different."

"From the point of view of quality, "Welcome to Beijing" is not inferior to the song "Me and You", and in meaning, the world's stars sing "Welcome to Beijing" together, which is obviously more imposing than "Me and You".

The duet between Chinese and British singers in "Me and You" represents the handover of the Olympic torch and the friendship between China and the UK, and the world stars of "Welcome to Beijing" sing. Representing the whole world in the Olympic Games.

In a sense, "Welcome to Beijing" is obviously better than "Me and You". "Why don't we think about replacing the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with "Me and You" and changing it to "Welcome to Beijing"?"

"I don't agree."

A clear voice came over. Chen Qigang's face was a little unsightly, "The song "Me and You" was decided by everyone, not that it can be replaced. ”

If it's usual. Chen Qigang is naturally not qualified to participate in the meeting of the Central Propaganda Department, but Chen Qigang at this time is different. At this time, as the music director of the Olympic Games, he was already qualified to enter the conference room of the Central Propaganda Department.

"That's why we need to discuss. Isn't it? Zhang Yimou spoke softly.

As the chief director of the Olympic Games, he is naturally qualified to be included in the meeting of the Central Propaganda Department.

"I remember Zhang Yimou, you signed a contract under the banner of the Gold Medal Group!" The person who said he wanted to clarify looked directly at Zhang Yimou, "Fight for the interests of the gold medal group, and you will betray the interests of the Olympic Games?" ”

"You're not right, when did Director Zhang betray the interests of the Olympics? Just discuss who is more suitable as the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the two songs "Welcome to Beijing" and "Me and You", can you use the upper outline? Luo Yongheng brought the words lightly.

"Anyway, I won't agree to revoke the song 'Me and You' as the Olympic theme song." Chen Qigang turned his face away, "The song "Me and You" was carefully selected by the jury and unanimously agreed. ”

"It was killed from thousands of troops, and now it is on the balance and compared with the song "Welcome to Beijing", which in itself is unfair to this song and the entire Olympic Organizing Committee."

"I don't think so."

A voice came over, and a middle-aged man smiled.

Chen Qigang's eyes swept over, he knew him, one of the members of the Olympic Organizing Committee, "The theme song of the Olympic Games should be the best, there is nothing fair or unfair, anyway, I don't think it's unfair." ”

"Reviewing one more song and one less song, for us judges, it's actually the same, and this qiē is all in the service of the Olympic Games."

In an instant, Chen Qigang understood that Li Lin, or the gold medal group, had opened up the relationship, not only the people from the Central Propaganda Department were helping the gold medal group speak, but even the judges of the Olympic Organizing Committee had fallen to the gold medal group.

"Even the judges of the Olympic Organizing Committee have said so, so the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be re-voted, of course, if Mr. Chen Qigang has any new works, he can also take them out and evaluate them together, so as not to appear unfair arguments." Luo Yongheng smiled and settled this matter. (To be continued......)
