Although no one in the company went to the general director race for the Olympics, that didn't prevent them from knowing some of the inside story.

For example, this time Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and even Li An all plan to compete.

Moreover, Zhao Zhe also heard from the grapevine that Chen Kaige was bound to win the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games this time.

Although Zhang Yi has also been in the limelight in recent years, and Li An has won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film once and the Oscar for Best Director.

But Chen Kaige, as the second generation of directors, doesn't take these opponents very seriously, not only did he not prepare much, but recently he took his wife out to play directly.

In recent years, the focus of Li An's development has been abroad, and Zhang Yimou's side is not to mention, no matter how powerful Zhang Yimou is now, but in the past, Zhang Yimou was just a photographer under him.

Others, on the other hand, are starting to design intensively.

Although there are no suitable scenes to shoot during this time, the organizing committee plans to make a few theme songs related to the Olympics.

And the one over there is going to sing a few solo singles, and then do a chorus.

But the collection has just begun, so Jiang Bai also asked Li Ronghao to make one or two songs to give it a try, in case he can be selected.

It's just that Jiang Bai just finished speaking with the front foot, and the back foot received a call from the organizing committee, saying that he wanted to invite him to participate in the chorus.

"Teacher Jiang, do you have time here? We're about going to shoot for a week or so. ”

"Yes."

Jiang Bai agreed without thinking about it, what is there to think about this kind of thing? Just close your eyes and agree, and such an opportunity is not given money, and there are many people rushing to do it, if you can really get on, even if it is worth the money.

This is a global sporting event, with the exception of Taiwan Province in China, Xiangjiang and Macao City in China, the rest are based on countries.

After responding to this matter, Jiang Bai began to make preparations and plans.

Seven days later, Jiang Bai first went to the place where the organizing committee notified them of the meeting, although they didn't sing today, they also had to plan in advance who would sing which line.

After coming over, Jiang Bai saw a lot of acquaintances.

Cheng Long, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Yixun, Nicholas Tse and Zhou Xiaoou.

I worked with Cheng Long in "New Police Story", and Cheng Long took him out to have a good time at night, but Huang Xiaoming didn't see much on weekdays, and the only time they met was when Huang Xiaoming didn't graduate from school a few years ago, when he went to Beiying to watch Dong Xun's drama performance, and at that time, Zhang Songwen took him around there.

Chen Yixun also met in "New Police Story", when Chen Yixun heard that there was an opportunity to drive a truck into 500 and directly asked to play the truck driver.

Later, Chen Yixun also said that he wanted to invite Jiang Bai to be a guest at his concert, but either Jiang Bai couldn't spare time, or Chen Yixun had invited someone else to be a guest, in short, this promise has never been realized.

This time he met and Chen Yixun also mentioned this matter again, he said that he still has a concert this year, and he is applying for a performance permit in the past few days, if Jiang Bai is interested, he can pick a time to pick a city to be a guest in the past.

"Okay, I should have a lot of time this year."

"Then we'll settle our minds."

"No problem."

After chatting, he went to Nicholas Tse's side again, Jiang Bai and Nicholas Tse met, also in "New Police Story", and later cooperated in "Little Fish and Flowers".

It's just that because of Zhang Weijian's incident that time, the two of them couldn't get too close, but they would occasionally contact each other later.

After a few words of greeting, Jiang Bai stood by Zhou Xiaoou's side.

Speaking of Zhou Xiaoou, Jiang Bai is going to go a lot, firstly, everyone has cooperated in "Conquest", and secondly, Zhou Xiaoou is based in Yanjing, and the relationship with Wu Jing is also very good, so whenever Jiang Bai wants to come back, it happens that when this person is in Yanjing, everyone will also get together to eat and drink.

So the relationship is also very iron.

"Jiang Bai, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"yes, I didn't expect people to invite me over, speaking of which, I'm just an actor, and I've released a song before."

Zhou Xiaoou smiled: "You can't say that, your talent in music is still very top, don't say anything else, let's just say that there are not many of us who can win music awards in foreign countries, although you won a few songs at that time, but it was also an Oscar, if you really want to talk about gold content, it is not worse than those places that specialize in awarding music awards." ”

"Brother Xiao Ou is polite, but what have you been busy with lately?"

"Recently, I'm still performing, I released a new album last year, and I'm touring outside, but our band is also ill-fated, and it's good for everyone to run a good band, even if the popularity has dropped a little now, but there's still no problem with eating, but the problem is with my teammates, alas, don't talk about it.

Our band is now taking one step at a time, and this year I also received an invitation from Director Gao for a TV series, and I will probably go to the actor side in the future, and I can't sing anymore. ”

Jiang Bai nodded: "It's okay, anyway, you have already made a lot of achievements in terms of singers, and now the transformation can be regarded as a successful retirement, and continue to cultivate another track." ”

It's just that Zhou Xiaoou sighed again: "Actually, it's not easy for actors to go in this regard, with my image, I definitely can't play the protagonist, I can only play the villain, if I can look like you, it's almost the same." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, Brother Xiao Ou, as long as the acting skills are in place, everything is not a problem, you see that Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang of our company are not much better than you, aren't they all popular now?"

"It's hard to say, so be it, take one step at a time, anyway, I'm not short of money to spend now, I'll shoot if there's a scene, and sing a song if there's a song."

In the middle of the chat, the main creative team of the song they were going to sing also walked in.

This song is not just a song, the directors who will shoot the MV at that time are Wang Yinfei, Wang Linfei and Zhang Jun, they are all newcomers, but no matter what, since the organizing committee chose them to be the director, then these people have to listen to their arrangements.

The composer of this song is Xiao Ke, who has done composing work for many stars.

Including Na Ying, Xiao Yaxuan, Gu Guji, Mo Wenwei, etc., he also served as the songwriter of the prologue song and dance music of the Spring Festival Gala in 00.

The lyricist is Lin Xi.

Not to mention Lin Xi's resume, but anyone who is in contact with music does not know Lin Xi.

First of all, the director team introduced everyone, and then went straight to the point and began to talk about the main content of this meeting.

"This time, I am honored to invite you to participate in the filming of the Olympic theme song "Yanjing Welcomes You", our song is mainly performed in a chorus, with one or two lines per person, but we have to determine the order first.

The lyrics and songs have been placed in front of everyone, so I'll put a small sample first, everyone listen to it, and then feel like I want to sing that sentence. ”

Everyone nodded.

After that, the directors began to show the sample song they had recorded in advance on multimedia.

"Welcome another morning, bring new air, the breath changes, the mood remains the same, and the fragrance of tea is full of affection......"

The song sounds very simple, and it is also very catchy, the lyrics and songs not only show the momentum of the land of China, but also have simplicity and vitality, which makes people feel very comfortable at first listen.

It's just that Jiang Bai listened and wondered which sentence he should sing, the first sentence was definitely not good, there were so many seniors present, and there was no shortage of national-level singers.

Even if the director designates him to sing, he can't take it.

After listening to it once, Jiang Bai felt that there were a few sentences in the middle, "Yanjing welcomes you", and then followed by other sentences that were not bad.

First, it is the beginning of the climax part, and secondly, I am more suitable for singing this kind of high-pitched part.

Finally they wrote down their names and the phrase they wanted to sing on a piece of paper.

After receiving it, the director began to ask the staff to make statistics, and it took about ten minutes before and after, and the statistical results came out.

They first announced the part where there was only one person, because there was only one candidate, so there was no controversy, and it was decided directly.

Most of these people present are singers, even if they are not singers, they have more or less sung, such as Cheng Long, and Cheng Long's son Fang Zuming and so on.

After deciding on the lyrics that only one person would choose, they began to coordinate the parts chosen by two or three people.

On this part, they can choose to sing together, or they can choose to forgo singing it to someone else.

But everyone is in the circle, and since they bumped into each other, some people were embarrassed to say that they didn't want to cooperate with other people, so more than a dozen lyrics were directly set.

The supermodel goddess Lin Zhiling of Taiwan Province and the international supermodel Zhang Zilin sang the same sentence, Yang Kun and Fan Weiqi sang the same sentence, and You Hongming and Zhou Xiaoou also sang the same sentence.

After that, it's the lyrics that no one chooses that need to be sung by those who repeat the song.

Ask one by one, raise your hand if you are interested, and the director team gives priority to letting those national singers sing a single sentence, and only after they have selected them all, it is the turn of the others.

But at the beginning of the question, a huge problem arose, that is, after the director asked a circle, no one sang the first sentence.

No one wants to choose, they don't want to be in the limelight.

"Brother Cheng Long, why don't you come? Whether you are famous, national image, or have a great influence in the world, in fact, it is more appropriate for you to sing this sentence. ”

When Cheng Long heard it, he put his head and hands like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm not a professional singer, I can't come here, just give me the middle sentence." ”

Producer Wang Pingjiu sighed when he heard this, and then looked at Liu Huan again.

"Teacher Liu Huan, why don't you come?"

"I can't either, how can I afford to be the first? Isn't there Teacher Han Hong, Teacher Zhou Huajian, Teacher Yan Weiwen, and Teacher Liao Yongchang? They're so much better than I am. ”

But the people mentioned by Liu Huan just now all refused one by one in the end.

There is no way, this sentence can only be left blank first.

After that, the first place where Yanjing welcomed you to appear was followed by the opening of the world for you, and this sentence fell on Cheng Long's head.

Since Cheng Long is reluctant to sing the first sentence, then sing the first Yanjing to welcome you, and then the next sentence is asked, and finally it is taken away by Ren Xianqi.

followed by the second Yanjing welcomes you, when the director asked, Cai Yilin raised his hand first, and others were embarrassed to fight with a girl, plus Cai Yilin has also been very popular over the years, so this sentence has been decided.

After the lyrics came out one after another, people raised their hands to choose, and finally when it came to the beginning of the second chorus, this time Jiang Bai raised his hand.

Originally, Nicholas Tse and He Yandong wanted to raise their hands, but they were not as fast as Jiang Bai's movements.

After seeing Jiang Bai leave, they also stopped their movements again.

Nicholas Tse himself has a good relationship with Jiang Bai, so he naturally doesn't want to fight with Jiang Bai for these things, not to mention He Yandong, Jiang Bai taught him how to render emotions when he was filming.

Especially the step he played, Jiang Bai taught him a lot of skills at that time, although those plots were criticized by many people after the broadcast, but it is undeniable that He Yundong is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of such an image.

So Jiang Bai is also half of his teacher.

In the end, Nicholas Tse chose the last sentence, but He Yundong did not choose the back, and finally ran to Jin Haixin to sing "If you have courage, there will be a miracle".

At this point, except for the first line, the rest of the lyrics have been distributed.

"Oops, now that the first sentence hasn't been chosen, what can I do?" At this time, the director team and the producer were a little worried.

"Why don't you make a chorus in the first sentence?"

But as soon as the director put forward this opinion, the producer immediately rejected it.

The lyrics of the first line must be sung by one person.

"Greet another morning and bring new air, this sentence must be refreshing, representing hope, everyone sings together The sound is too mixed and too thick."

"Then find a female singer with a more ethereal voice to sing."

Everyone nodded, but at this time the composer said: "Actually, we all think so, but there is no way for everyone to sing the first line." ”

At this time, Han Hong said: "It's not that they don't sing, it's mainly that it's not suitable, the idea of this song is too big, and everyone can't afford it." ”

Others also said their opinions, but generally the meaning was similar.

Jiang Bai listened for a while: "Why don't you find a little girl with a good voice to sing?" Children should not have these problems, and aren't children the dawn of the motherland? ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

"This method is good, and the idea is good, and the overall style has gone up all of a sudden." Liao Changyong said.

This not only solves the problem of the first sentence, but also sublimates the topic again.

The creators immediately agreed to the idea, and at this point, all the lyrics were distributed, and they just went back to find a little girl with a good voice.

"Finally, let me talk about the schedule of this song, we will start recording in about a week, and it will take a week to practice, and everyone will practice this song more during this week, when we shoot, everyone has to sing the complete song, and then we will separate each voice through editing, so that the integrity of the song can also be guaranteed, otherwise it will inevitably feel fragmented if you sing just one sentence."
