Chapter 222: The Perfect National Day (Happy National Day)
"I think all the audience is curious about when you came up with the idea to write such a song."
During the live broadcast of the news channel, a clip of Xu Chuan's interview was being broadcast.
Of course, before Sun Danrong asked this question, he had already asked Xu Chuan how he felt about participating in the celebration on the spot.
Xu Chuan naturally gave some heartfelt answers.
However, everyone knows that the creation story of "Singing the Motherland" is the main purpose of Sun Danrong's interview with Xu Chuan this time.
Therefore, when faced with the question just now, Xu Chuan answered quite cautiously. Because there are some things that he really has to make up, after all, he didn't plan to write this song in the first place.
But how can you say something you didn't plan to write in front of the camera?
So, you have to make it up, but you can't make it up blindly, it's easy to have problems.
So he replied: "It should be said that as a literary practitioner, the idea of creating this type of work has always existed regardless of time.
If you talk about the work "Singing the Motherland" alone, the idea of writing this song came about at the end of June last year. ”
"What made you think about it?" Sun Danrong, as a reporter, asked in a timely manner.
"Coincidentally, at that time, I happened to be learning about music with my teacher, Mr. Shen Huajin. In the course of a chat, we naturally talked about this being a special year.
This vintage is very meaningful for the country and for us personally. So, at that time, I was thinking, as a musician, can I write a song to celebrate the birthday of my motherland?
That's when I was thinking about how to write this song. Xu Chuan replied solemnly.
Sun Danrong still knows something about Xu Chuan's background, and she knows that Xu Chuan and Shen Huajin really met in June last year. Therefore, there is no doubt about the authenticity of Xu Chuan's words.
In fact, what Xu Chuan said is basically true, but it is a little artistically processed.
I saw Sun Danrong continue to ask: "So when was this song completed?" ”
Faced with this question, Xu Chuan replied truthfully: "August 1 this year." ”
This song was indeed written on August 1st, and now I go to look through the engineering files on his computer, and the timing is completely correct.
"That means it took almost 14 months to write the song, right?"
"So to speak." Xu Chuan nodded.
To be honest, when the interview was going on at this point, Xu Chuan had a thought in his head, that is, he shouldn't have answered like this.
The story of polishing a song in 14 months is actually quite disseminated.
The problem is that Xu Chuan doesn't want to spread sex now, he feels that he is really in the limelight this time, and he has to keep a low profile.
But sometimes, it's really not like he can keep a low profile if he wants to.
Because he's dealing with a pretty good journalist.
There is an essential difference between a good journalist and a poor journalist. That is, she can often grasp the key points in the dialogue and dig deeper into the content.
For example, Sun Danrong, when others may ask questions such as "Is there any interesting thing you can share with you in the process of writing songs?"
The eldest sister was keenly aware of the time when Xu Chuan completed the song, August 1, which was also a special day.
So, she said: "You just said that the time to complete this song is August 1st, and we all know that August 1st is also a very meaningful time point.
I think the audience should be curious at this moment, did you happen to finish it at this point in time, or did you deliberately choose this point in time? ”
Should I say it or not, this sister's question was something Xu Chuan never expected, and it was not written in the outline that he would ask such a question.
But the questions were all asked, and it was impossible for Xu Chuan not to answer.
But how can this be answered?
Deliberately chosen certainly not. This was purely a coincidence, because Shen Huajin was urging at that time.
But can Xu Chuan say that it is because the master is urging him?
The answer is definitely no.
Therefore, at that time, Xu Chuan instinctively began to make it up, only to see him speak: "It's actually a coincidence, as I just said."
I've been thinking about writing this song since the end of June last year, but more than a year has passed, and I don't have any inspiration in my head.
You may not believe it, but at the end of July, I was about to give up, and I think it was probably because of my knowledge and expertise.
It's nowhere near the level of creating a song with such a theme. But on August 1st, something happened that gave me the opportunity to write this song. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Chuan paused, quickly organized the language in his mind, and continued: "Friends who have known know that that day also happened to be the day when the TV series "Soldier Assault" created by me premiered.
At that time, there was some not very good controversy about the casting of this show on the Internet. In the face of these controversies, I sent a long Vibo.
In Vibori I told the story of a hero and explained my understanding of the soul of our army. To be honest, after I posted that Weibo, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was in that mood that the inspiration in my head seemed to spring up like a spring. I couldn't write a song that I had been stuck for more than a year, but it took me about 30 minutes to compose the music and lyrics that day. ”
Hearing this, Sun Danrong's expression was surprised and surprised.
Obviously, she didn't expect Xu Chuan to reply like this at all.
Not only that, she believes in Xu Chuan's words, firstly, because she is completely right in the details; The second is that Xu Chuan's expression, tone, and speed of speech when he said this did not look like he was lying.
And Xu Chuan, who was opposite her, couldn't wait to pump his two mouths at this time, how could his brain and mouth cooperate so well?
Why is it so smooth to brag about yourself now?
It's okay to not have a stumble at all?
It's enough to polish a song in just 14 months, and now it's so natural to blow such a meal, isn't this contrary to his original intention of "low-key"?
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan hurriedly made up for it: "Of course, I don't mean to emphasize the time spent on this song. What I really want to talk about is something else.
Because when I finished this song, I often wondered what drove me to be able to finish the song that I couldn't write for more than a year.
I haven't figured this out for two months. But after watching the ceremony live today, I suddenly had the answer in my heart. ”
"And what's the answer?" Sun Danrong asked cooperatively.
"Today's celebration made me suddenly realize one thing, that is, this song may not have been written by me at all, this song may exist in itself.
I don't know if you can understand what I mean, just like the famous Chinese poet Lu You wrote at the beginning of the poem "Article", called "The article is made by nature, and the magic hand gets it".
Although this poem is about literary creation, I think it is actually the same when used in music creation.
I may have heard the song that day, and this song seems to me to be a triumphant song played by countless martyrs with blood;
At the same time, I also saw its words, which are endless poems written by heroes with their lives.
In other words, the real creators of this song are those heroes and martyrs who are not afraid of sacrifice and hard work; It is a great people who are constantly striving for self-improvement, industrious and brave.
They composed countless beautiful melodies, and I just happened to hear one of these countless melodies and relayed it with what I had learned.
I believe that there are more melodies in the past, in the future, and in the present where all people, including you and me, live. These melodies all have a unified kernel.
That is, 'I hope that our dear motherland will become prosperous and strong from now on.'" When Xu Chuan said this, his hand was still guiding up and down with his words.
He then continued: "From this point of view, I can be the creator of this song, but the creator of this song is not just me. All of us are the creators of this song.
Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity to say a few words to those friends who like me and follow me.
I hope that when you discuss the song "Singing the Motherland" in the future, you will not pay attention to me, the person who signed the song information. It's about being able to focus more on what the song says.
It has not been easy for our country to develop step by step from the ruins of war to the present, and this is the result of the joint efforts of all of us from generation to generation.
Therefore, as I just said, I hope that when you sing or listen to this song in the future, you will think of the development of the country, your own struggle, and the happiness of your family.
Other things are insignificant compared to these. ”
Should I say it or not, Xu Chuan's speech shocked Sun Danrong, who was interviewed at the time. It's not that she hasn't interviewed artists, both older and younger.
How many artists can't even understand what they say, and they don't know what to say in the preface. Some people can be said to be illiterate.
Like Xu Chuan, Sun Danrong is really the first time to see him.
She finally knows why Xu Chuan can become a leader among young artists. The work can be played, and the expression ability and cultural literacy of the whole person are even more ahead of others, and I don't know how much.
How can anyone else compete with him?
At the same time, she also understood why there were so many music creators, but only Xu Chuan could write "Singing the Motherland".
And Xu Chuan, who was opposite her, was very satisfied with his speech.
He thinks that he can achieve his "low-key" goal now. At the same time, no matter how much this song is sung in the future, it will not cause pressure on yourself.
Of course, what he just expressed was actually from the bottom of his heart, and he was not talking nonsense.
At the same time, it was not only Sun Danrong who interviewed Xu Chuan who was shocked. Now the audience who saw the interview, the anchor and other staff who were in charge of broadcasting the news were also shocked.
During the broadcast of this interview, the two anchors, a man and a woman, looked at each other several times. There was nothing but shock and shock in the eyes of both sides.
They just had one thought in their heads, was this really something that a young entertainer could say? Did you have a misunderstanding about these young artists before?
The interview is not over yet, and what they don't know is that Xu Chuan's "amazing" remarks continue.
I saw Sun Danrong speak: "We all know that you are 24 years old this year, so on such an important day today, do you have anything to say to your young people of the same age?" ”
Sun Danrong is older than Xu Chuan, and he is less than a teenager, but because of Xu Chuan's words just now, you have become you from the beginning.
However, Xu Chuan didn't notice this at that time, and after he heard this question, he only had a paragraph from Mr. Lu Xun in his mind.
Without much thought, he blurted out these words: "There is a gentleman whom I respect very much who has said something to me, and I would like to pass it on here to my peers, or to a group of teenagers who are younger than me.
May the young people of China get rid of the cold air, just go up, and don't have to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak up can speak up.
If there is a point of heat, a point of light, just like a firefly, you can also shine a little light in the dark, and you don't have to wait for the torch. ”
This passage is followed by another paragraph, which is: "After that, if there is no torch: I am the only light." If there is a torch and the sun comes out, we will naturally disappear with joy and sincerity.
Not only will there be no grievances, but you will also praise the torch or the sun with joy; for he has shone on men, even me. 】
However, Xu Chuan didn't say it, because he was afraid of being interpreted blindly by some people who didn't care about it.
Lanxing does not have Mr. Lu Xun, so Sun Danrong naturally has not heard this passage.
In fact, at that time, she wanted to ask Xu Chuan which gentleman said this, which was a reporter's instinctive reaction.
But she held back.
Because she felt that this sentence was said by Xu Chuan himself. The reason for the name "sir" may be to avoid some trouble.
After all, this is quite "educational", but Xu Chuan is too young, and many people do not think that he has "educational qualifications".
But then again, Sun Danrong felt that Xu Chuan really had this "qualification".
Because looking at what he has done over the years, he is practicing what he just said.
He did things when he could do things, and he really spoke up in front when it was time to speak.
With these thoughts, Sun Danrong did not follow up, but directly ended the interview with thanks. In fact, she still wants to talk to Xu Chuan more, but the time is really not enough.
Sun Danrong is very sorry about this, and I don't know when I will interview Xu Chuan next time.
After the interview was played, the screen switched back to the live broadcast room of the news channel, although the two anchors had a lot of feelings, but this was the live broadcast of Central 13 after all, and they couldn't say too much.
So, after some regular evaluations, another story was launched.
And this interview clip was soon posted on the Internet. It didn't take long for it to be reprinted by major media.
Immediately followed by the entry of #Interview with Xu Chuan#, it rushed to the hot search lists of major platforms like a rocket.
And it was less than an hour since Zhang Yan removed the hot search entry before Xu Chuan.
This hot search has been withdrawn, and it seems that it has not been withdrawn.
"Sister Yan, it seems a little too difficult to help Brother Chuan suppress the hot search, now this video, it is not good to limit the flow on the side of Shake Hand, and the media that reprinted it are not ordinary." Xu Yan of the propaganda group said with some tears and laughter.
These people "worked hard" to help him "keep a low profile", but in the blink of an eye, he himself jumped up and "backstabbed", which is unreasonable.
“Emmm…… Forget it, Mr. Xu is not a person who can keep a low profile, restrain fans from blowing blindly, I don't think the popularity can be suppressed, don't waste that money. Looking at this jumping entry, Zhang Yan was also a little crying and laughing.
"That's too good, what do you say Brother Chuan is thinking about all day long? These words are written for me to recite and I may not necessarily recite them, you see that Brother Chuan said silky and smooth. Liu Yaxin, another veteran of the studio, spoke.
"Isn't it the first day you met Brother Chuan, hasn't Brother Chuan always been able to speak?"
"It's not just about being able to speak, it's about having something different in your head."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, hurry up and work, finish it early and take a break early. There is almost no place to spend the company's team building funds. Seeing that they were chatting, Zhang Yan interrupted with a smile.
The people in Xu Chuan's studio here are sighing.
On the other side, after Zhao Zhi saw this interview, he couldn't help but be happy: "This kid ...... Hey...... I didn't read him wrong, he was a guy who could get on the stage. ”
At the same time, Joan Island, Bai Baiyu, who was on vacation here, also saw this interview.
"Did Xu Chuan's grandson secretly read more than us for 20 years? Why does he always say something that no one else can say? ”
Bai Bai Yu was really a little envious, he thought that he was killing himself, and he couldn't say these words.
After envying for a while, he suddenly thought of the title of [well-known young composer] given to Xu Chuan by CCTV.
In an instant, envy turned to sour again.
"The surname is Xu, do you fucking let me take a good vacation?"
I can't play anymore, seeing that Xu Chuan now even has the title of officially certified [Famous Young Composer], Bai Baiyu only feels that he really can't play anymore.
He plans to work hard and seize all the time to study, so as to try to catch up with Xu Chuan.
But as soon as this idea appeared, he gave it up.
Because he felt that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with Xu Chuan.
In fact, everyone is no longer on the same level, and they are singers themselves.
People can make movies and TV series; He is also very strong in writing and singing; The most important thing is that the project that this grandson started is still a variety show.
Are you still chasing a fart? Let's have fun.
"The greatest pain of people is to compare, don't compare, comparison is a bad thing, contentment can be happy." Bai Yu began to put aside that chicken soup for the soul to himself.
After a while, he felt that he was in a much better mood.
But he couldn't help but scolded again: "This dog thing, if you don't give birth sooner or later, you just want to be my contemporary." ”
Bai Baiyu's mood is actually a portrayal of the hearts of many artists of the same generation as Xu Chuan. They feel that there is really a sense of powerlessness to compete with Xu Chuan's generation, and they can't compare to anything else, and he can't even speak.
In the capital, Xu Huazhang naturally saw this interview.
After reading this interview, he really can't describe his mood, which seems to be what people on the Internet often say "breaking defenses".
The reason for breaking the defense is actually quite simple, because he is always unwilling to admit Xu Chuan's excellence, and will deliberately belittle Xu Chuan verbally.
But whether he doesn't admit it, or deliberately belittles it, Xu Chuan's objective strength will not be changed because of his subjective evaluation.
And his colleague Remy, after seeing this interview at home, kept thinking about Xu Huazhang's evaluation of Xu Chuan.
"He was a poor boy from the countryside...... His background determines that his pattern is too small and his vision is too narrow. ”
Remy originally thought that there was a bit of a problem, but now that he thinks about it, he just thinks that it is ridiculous to the extreme. Different positions are different positions, and it is not interesting to lie to yourself.
"If he always brainwashes himself to look down on Xu Chuan and belittle Xu Chuan, he may have to fall on his heel in the future." Remy muttered with a frown.
Compared with the complicated mood of these people, some people's thoughts are much simpler.
Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng don't need to say it, so naturally they are happy for Xu Chuan.
There are also those who have dealt with Xu Chuan in different projects, and they are also happy for Xu Chuan's performance this time. For example, many players in "Creation 101", the heroes and heroines of "The Beginning" Li Fei, Wu Yunfei and so on.
It is worth mentioning that these people know Xu Chuan quite well, and they know that Xu Chuan's "don't pay attention to me" in the interview is sincere.
Therefore, no one posted anything to congratulate Xu Chuan's work on being recognized.
It's those who haven't dealt with Xu Chuan, and I don't know where the eighteenth-line artists came out, and some of them are really rubbing this heat.
Of course, these people don't usually have much traffic. Now at this juncture, even if it is hot, there is still no traffic, so the impact is not big.
At this time, Xu Chuan did not pay attention to public opinion on the Internet, but was preparing to enter the venue to watch the evening literary and artistic party.
The party lasted more than an hour and 40 minutes, and a total of 60,000 people participated.
The performance scene can be described as spectacular.
Anyway, Xu Chuan is so big, the most shocking performance he has ever seen on the spot.
At the last moment, just as Shen Huajin told him, everyone sang "Singing the Motherland" in unison.
This song has been fermented by Xu Chuan's interview, and now the audience in front of the screen has a different feeling.
The performance dispersed, and Xu Chuan did not return to the hotel until the early hours of the morning.
The first thing I did when I returned to the hotel was nothing else, but I looked at the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" today.
I don't know if it's because his interview during the day stimulated the audience, or if there are more people watching movies today, anyway, the results are very gratifying.
The single-day box office is still 300 million, and the total box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has reached 1.911 billion.
To be honest, it was more than expected.
Originally, everyone's expected goal was to have 200 million, which would be considered a success.
After all, this is the fourth day of the release, and the tribute film "70 Years" has also begun to be released, and the schedule of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is no longer as exaggerated as before.
But reality gave Xu Chuan a surprise, just as what he said in the interview today surprised many people.
After reading the data, Xu Chuan threw his phone aside, stretched his waist, recalled today's experience, and couldn't help laughing.
Because today is really the most perfect National Day in his life.
