Taking the business card from Schneider's hand and taking a brief look, he realized that these two people really didn't look too much like liars. On their business cards, not only do they have their names and positions written on them like ordinary business cards, but they also have their personal work ID numbers and the inquiry website of the World Cup Organizing Committee. This is also a means to prevent people from using the name of the World Cup to swindle and solicit sponsorship outside.

"We came this time to ask you for help with the theme song of the World Cup." Schneider's position on his business card is a little higher than Walker's, so he also speaks more when talking about things.

"Theme song?" Li Jingyuan recalled the memory in his mind a little, and after comparing the current time, he said: "Hasn't the theme song of the World Cup been decided yet?" I think I've heard that there are already eyebrows, isn't it the song called "TimeofOurLives"? ”

In Lee Kyung-won's memory, the theme song of this World Cup was composed by renowned SonyBMG composer Jen Elofsson and produced by super producer Steve Mac. The singers are the popular PopOpera crossover group IlDivo "Bel Canto Gentleman" and RB diva ToniBraxton, and the song was completed relatively early, so there should be eyebrows at this time.

"Yes, although I don't know where you got the news from, but what you said is true, the official theme song of our World Cup has been determined, but now this song is not enough."

"Not enough? For what? Hearing Schneider say this, Li Jingyuan was a little curious: "Isn't there only one theme song for the World Cup in each world, what do you mean by 'not enough'?" ”

"That's right, I don't know if you've heard the song "TimeofOurLives", although it is not as strong as the theme song sung by Ricky Martin in the 98th World Cup, and it is not as classic as "Italian Summer", but it is a good song! But the only thing that doesn't fall short is that it's just too lyrical, so to speak, this World World Cup theme song is by far the most lyrical. ”

As soon as Schneider said this, Li Jingyuan also reacted: "I know it, do you think it's not hot enough?" ”

That's what it means. You also know that football is a very confrontational and fierce sport, and the fans are people who like to be lively, so a theme song that is too lyrical has a very limited effect on the promotion of the World Cup, after all, the audience is not large. ”

Speaking of this, Schneider was also a little embarrassed: "We also know that a lyrical song is indeed not very attractive as the theme song of the World Cup, but this is also a part of our plan, that is, we want to use a different trick to get some gimmicks, so even if this song is slightly insufficient, it cannot be changed." ”

"So you're going to come up with another song to complement this lack of passion? But it shouldn't be called a theme song, right? Li Jingyuan directly pointed out the key points, a song is nothing, the key is the question of this title, whether it is the theme song is actually very important, at the very least, the official status of this song in the World Cup is different.

"No, no, no, listen to me, I didn't mean anything wrong." When Schneider heard Li Jingyuan say this, he hurriedly waved his hand to explain, he was also afraid that Li Jingyuan would think that he was using the name of the theme song to fool people, and it would be bad if he left a bad impression: "It's true that "TimeofOurLives" is the theme song, but this song will not be sung at the opening or closing ceremonies, just for official use. We have a different choice of songs for the opening and closing ceremonies, and so far, the song for the opening ceremony has been decided, which is called "Celebratetheday", which is sung by our veteran German pop singer Herbert Gronemeyer, and now we are asking you to produce the song for the closing ceremony. ”

"If you can write a good song, then with your song, we will have a total of three official songs in this World Cup, and in a sense, what we asked you to make is indeed the theme song."

Li Jingyuan and Schneider's conversation was communicated in English, so Li Xiuman, who was sitting on the side, also heard it clearly, although before Li Jingyuan came back, he had already known the news, but now that he saw Schneider officially send out an invitation, his heart became excited again, if it wasn't really good to disturb Li Jingyuan and Schneider's conversation, it is estimated that he would have jumped up to celebrate now. ,

It's no wonder that Li Xiuman is so excited, the theme song of the World Lu World Cup, what an honor this is, you must know that Lu Dao football is the number one sport in the world, and the World Cup is the biggest event of this first sport. The number of fans who watch the World Cup every time is a terrifying number, when it comes to the World Cup, not only those die-hard fans will be excited, but even people who don't usually watch the game will also pay attention to this event, and the number of fans at this time will increase significantly. If the song is well written, it means that within a few months, the song will become the hottest song in the world, and it will definitely be the number one position. At that time, even if you are not a fan, you will definitely know this song, just like "The Cup of Life" in 98, which caused a sensation in the whole world.

"That's right, I don't have any problems, but are you so relieved to leave things to me?" Hearing Li Jingyuan say this, Li Xiuman wanted to come up and strangle him to death, isn't this uncomfortable for himself, what if people regret it.

"Hehe, since we came to the door, we must have done an investigation. Lee, you don't have to be modest, we also watched the Grammys some time ago, although you didn't win any awards yourself, but the music you composed can get a lot of honors. ”

"And we've noticed that you have a pretty good grasp of all kinds of music. Whether it's rock or pop, you have a lot of skills, so we're very comfortable with you. ”

"In that case, I don't have much more to say, I'll take over your job. Let's talk about your specific requirements. Hearing what people said, Li Jingyuan stopped refusing and took over the work directly, anyway, in his opinion, this is indeed not a difficult thing, in his memory, the original song of the 06th World Lujie Cup has always been there, as long as the ready-made songs are taken out.

"We would like to ask you to make this song, preferably a song with a faster rhythm and more enthusiasm, and it must also be sung well. Because the two songs that have been decided now are not suitable for promotion, we will focus on using your song when promoting. ”

"Because it's going to be used for publicity, we hope you can make this song as soon as possible, after all, there is not much time left for the opening of the Dead World Cup, and we can use it sooner if we finish it earlier."

Li Jingyuan began to record it with the notebook in Li Xiuman's office while listening at this time, and when he heard Schneider say this, he interrupted slightly: "Time is tight, isn't it?" It doesn't matter much at all. So is there a requirement for the genre of the song? To be specific, is it a rock genre or a pop genre? ”

"Well, because your song is going to be sung at the closing ceremony, we wanted you to use some African elements to connect with the 10-year World Cup in South Africa. And because the closing ceremony is arranged with the finals, it is best to have a bit of Latin style in the song. ”

"Latin style??"

"Hehe, although we are also very confident in our country, but after all, we can't ignore the others, I have to say that Brazil, Argentina and several other strong teams in Europe in South America are very competitive, if nothing else, the final team should still be two old strong teams. Whether it is a South American or European team, Latin elements are more appropriate, so if the Latin element song is used as a performance song in the finals, it should be the most suitable for the atmosphere of the scene at that time. ”

"What about the length of the song? Are there any requirements? How many minutes does it take? ”

"There are no clear requirements for this, about 4 to 5 minutes, the opening and closing ceremonies of our World Cup will not be too long, so the song does not require a long time, as long as it is about the same time as the general song."

After recording all the requirements, Li Jingyuan suddenly remembered a very serious question: "If this song is written, who are you going to invite to sing?" To be clear in advance, I am not at that level, and now I am not qualified to stand on such a big stage and sing. ”

Schneider didn't show any surprise when he heard Li Jingyuan say this, it seems that they have also done a lot of investigation, and Zhilu said that Li Jingyuan doesn't have too much experience in acting now, so he didn't expect him to sing on stage by himself at the beginning.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as your song is written, we will also follow your requirements and find the most suitable person in the whole world to sing this song."

Schneider said this, Li Jingyuan was relieved, and he basically had a plan now. Originally, Li Jingyuan still wanted to try the original by himself, but considering that the time is relatively tight and there are many requirements, this guy who loves to be lazy doesn't want to worry about it anymore. Now you don't have to think about this song, you can just take out the original version. When I took out the song, I also asked Shakira to sing it directly, and at most I helped Shakira sing the male voice in the middle. After all, this song was originally composed by Shakira, and now that Li Jingyuan has taken up her creation, it would be a bit too much to take away her singer position.
