Chapter 393: Yanjing Welcomes You
Jiang Changsheng directly found Cai Songlin and asked him to hand it over, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Hou Liangliang to deal with, he only focused on the result.
Because of a bad thing, it involves too much energy, and it's really not worth it.
On February 16, Jiang Changsheng took Liu Xiaoli and came to Beiyuan Building again.
Liu Xiaoli came here to rehearse the dance.
Her performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has been confirmed, which is to perform a flying dance for 21 seconds before the five rings are unveiled.
The time is very short, so there is not much content to perform, and Liu Xiaoli has completely mastered the dance moves, but the rehearsal work still has to come at least twice a week.
And Jiang Changsheng came over, mainly at the invitation of Lu Yunqing, the head of the propaganda group of the Olympic Organizing Committee.
After entering the Beiyuan Building, Liu Xiaoli greeted Jiang Changsheng and went to rehearse by herself.
Jiang Changsheng took the elevator to the multi-functional conference room on the 7th floor.
In the conference room, in addition to Lu Yunqing, there are more than a dozen people, most of whom Jiang Changsheng knows, such as Song Ke, Lin Xi and others, all of whom are relatively well-known composers and lyricists in the industry.
Seeing Jiang Changsheng come in, Lu Yunqing took the initiative to get up and welcomed him to the first position on the left hand side to sit down.
Lu Yunqing pushed his glasses and said very kindly: "Teacher Jiang is here, then our meeting has officially begun, first of all, I apologize to everyone, everything about the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics must be kept strictly confidential."
So before the meeting, everyone has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. ”
Lu Yunqing's secretary took out a stack of papers and distributed a confidentiality agreement to everyone present.
Jiang Changsheng took it and saw that it was a very regular confidentiality agreement, he was a lawyer in his previous life, and he could see at a glance that there was no problem, so he simply picked up the pen and signed his name.
Jiang Changsheng has a fast brain and strong professional ability, so the speed of signing is the fastest, it seems that he doesn't care about the content of the agreement and supports the official without a brain, Lu Yunqing is very satisfied with his behavior and attitude.
is worthy of being the official representative of the artist.
The others still looked at it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong before signing it.
After the secretary collected the confidentiality agreement, Lu Yunqing said: "This time I gathered all the talents in the music industry because of an idea.
We plan to gather 100 celebrities from China to sing a theme song during the 100-day countdown to the opening of the Yenching Olympics to add luster to the Olympic Games.
This theme song is one of the main promotional songs of the Olympic Games, and it is very important, so I wanted to use your talents to create a suitable song. ”
Lu Yunqing spoke very angrily, the rhythm was very clear, everyone heard it clearly, and he elaborated on the theme, meaning and specific requirements of the theme song, and then said: "All of you here, some are good at composing music, some are good at writing lyrics, you can freely combine and choose your favorite or suitable object to cooperate."
Of course, you can also create your own creations.
After the final work is presented, we will pick the most suitable one.
Today is February 16th, and the 100-day countdown is April 20th, which is only 2 months.
In addition, we had to spare time to shoot a promotional video for the theme song, so according to the schedule, we had to complete this work within a month at the latest. ”
Jiang Changsheng heard Lu Yunqing's narration, counted down to 100 days, and 100 stars sang, and knew that this was a solicitation to create the Olympic theme song "Yanjing Welcomes You".
For him, this is an open-book exam, and the lyrics and songs are all in his head, and he can take them out at any time.
Before coming, Lu Yunqing was worried that Jiang Changsheng didn't want to come, so he said a lot, what was a big matter related to the success or failure of the Yanjing Olympics, Jiang Changsheng really thought that there was a particularly big thing.
He originally planned to make an album for himself and Liu Yifei in March, but he almost adjusted the schedule because of Lu Yunqing's so-called major event.
After listening to Lu Yunqing's arrangement, Jiang Changsheng felt very relaxed, and before he could speak, Song Ke spoke.
"I have always had a wish in my heart, which is to cooperate with Mr. Jiang Changsheng once.
Let me tell you, in Warner Wheat Field, I witnessed the amazing talent of Mr. Jiang Changsheng.
Countless famous scenes have always been remembered in my heart.
Mr. Jiang's writing songs is as simple as eating and drinking, and his singing skills are also invincible, and he can make an album by himself in half a month; wrote songs for Liu Yifei on the spot, improvised them, and they were all gold-level works.
I have a song about the Olympics here, and I don't have a good word, so I want to ask Mr. Jiang to help. ”
After Song Ke finished speaking, the little subject teacher next to him immediately said: "Old Song, don't play tricks, we have made a bet before, I won, this opportunity to cooperate with Teacher Jiang must be mine."
I also wrote a tune, which is very consistent with the theme of the Yenching Olympics in the same world and the same dream, this song has no words, if Mr. Jiang can make a move, we can definitely create a classic song that is sung in the world. ”
Song Ke was the former boss of Warner Wheat Field, and now he is independent from Warner and has engaged in Taihe Wheat Field, and he is very well connected in the mainland music circle.
And Xiaoke is also a very talented musician, in 1995, he created the theme song "Return" for the Gutian music version of the Condor Heroes, which is a classic melody in the memories of countless people's youth, and later created many classic songs such as the wind of life, waiting for you to love me, and want to sing me to you.
So when he heard that he had a composition work, Jiang Changsheng was also stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to confirm whether the composition he was talking about was the song that Yanjing welcomed you.
I'll have to check that later.
Song Ke and Xiaoke's words were just the beginning, and Sanbao also stood up later, wanting to cooperate with Jiang Changsheng on a pure music work, although it seemed to be off topic, but they also joined the ranks of competing for Jiang Changsheng.
Subsequently, everyone spoke one after another, rushing to cooperate with Jiang Changsheng, and the conference room was boiling for a while, making it as lively as a vegetable market.
Lu Yunqing let everyone combine freely, but he didn't expect this to be the case, all the musicians here who have been famous for a long time want to cooperate with Jiang Changsheng.
This scene stunned Lu Yunqing, even though he had always looked up to Jiang Changsheng's popularity and status, he didn't expect this result.
Jiang Changsheng is indeed a very special existence in the music circle now.
First, his albums are very good in sales and word of mouth, especially in English, which are very popular abroad and have won many awards.
Jiang Changsheng's fourth English album "Yanjing Olympics" was released worldwide in October last year, and in just one month, sales reached 8 million!
As of the end of January, the album's total global sales have exceeded 21 million!
According to independent records, the final sales of this album are expected to exceed 50 million, which can rank among the top ten in world record sales, and even among the top three.
It is worth mentioning that among the top ten record sales in the world, there is already an album by Jiang Changsheng, which is his second English album "Believer", which has accumulated sales of 44 million, ranking fourth.
And among the top ten album sales, only Jiang Changsheng's albums are after 2000, and the other albums are basically concentrated in the seventies and eighties of the last century.
It's not much of a problem to say that Jiang Changsheng is the pop singer with the highest album sales in the 21st century.
According to BBC statistics, since Jiang Changsheng's debut, the sales of all albums released have been cumulative, and the total sales have exceeded 200 million, ranking eighth in history.
The key is that the sales of all Jiang Changsheng's albums still maintain a relatively good growth momentum, the ranking is still rising, and Jiang Changsheng will release albums in the future.
So the BBC came to the conclusion that Jiang Changsheng has a good chance to get the position of the first person in the history of record sales.
After Jiang Changsheng's English songs became popular overseas, his Chinese albums also sold very well abroad, and the total sales of basically every Chinese album overseas exceeded 10 million.
Excluding Singapore, Malaysia and other Chinese-speaking regions, as well as Chinese communities all over the world, at least more than half of the sales are contributed by Omi people.
Many of Jiang Changsheng's Chinese songs are very popular abroad, especially the song Silk Drama, which is very popular because of Jiang Changsheng's performance of aerial mechanical dance.
Therefore, Jiang Changsheng's export of Chinese culture to the outside world is definitely not an empty word.
