CCTV's little moves made Chen Qi very unhappy.
When he engages in creation (plagiarism), it's usually out of necessity. This time it's different. In order to get rid of CCTV, he copied for the first time just for the sake of plagiarism.
Chen Qi urgently summoned Hu Weili back to Beijing, then gave him a lyric, studied it, and decided to compose a song with 100% main theme, which could not be more popular, about the great unity of the nation:
"Love Me China"!
The lyrics were written by Qiao Yu and the music was composed by Xu Peidong. It was the anthem of the 4th National Ethnic Minority Games, originally sung by Wei Wei. As a result, Wei Wei had no sense of presence at all, and everyone only remembered that the song was sung by Captain Song.
Because it was a sports meeting, there were some lyrics like "Athletes step up".
Chen Qi revised it, hummed a rough melody, and gave it to Hu Weili to compose the music. Hu Weili made main melody music in mainland China, and it was not until he went to Hong Kong that it became commercialized, and he became very good at it.
"Love Me China" is magnificent and suitable for chorus and symphony.
His current conditions are limited, so he just perfects the song, sings it once and passes the test, and then thinks about how to process it.
There is a controversy about "Love My China", whether it is "Fifty-six Constellations" or "Fifty-six Nationalities". Some say that the collective memory is confused, some say that there are two versions, and some say that it is a fallacy in its dissemination. Anyway, everyone
Everyone feels that their memory is correct.
"There is a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and there is a fat doll on the back..."
In the CCTV studio, Huang Yihe is also rehearsing intensively. On the stage, Zhu Mingying is singing "Back to My Mother". It is actually lip-syncing, mainly for the effect of the stage performance.
This song is "The Little Wife Returns to Her Mother's Home" by Teresa Teng.
Teresa Teng was a popular song in mainland China and was not allowed to be sung. Huang Yihe thought of a way to pretend that "Back to My Mother's Home" was a Hebei folk song. After the song became popular, the local people specifically asked, saying that we had checked and found that there was no song in Hebei.
Is this a folk song?
Even without Chen Qi, Huang Yihe is still a capable person and can handle the Spring Festival Gala.
He was now giving full play to his subjective initiative and organizing a program in an orderly manner. At this time, an assistant director suddenly came over and said: "Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao are not coming!"
"Are you not coming today, or are you not coming in the future?"
"They went to Chen Qi and said they would arrange a new skit. They also said that "Making Movies" was created by them and asked us not to use it."
"Then there's no need, it's just as good as that program!"
Huang Yihe felt guilty about Chen Qi, but he was also competitive and wanted to win. He asked, "Have you heard any news?"
"He is preparing with a group of people at the Ministry of Culture, rehearsing in the small auditorium, and doing all the work himself."
"Where's the show?"
"The program is very secretive. I don't know what they are performing."
"Our conditions and theirs, if we lose, we will lose face."
"We definitely can't lose. Our program has a beginning and an end, and every one of them is exciting. They can't even schedule half of the show."
"I hope so!"
Huang Yihe always had some inexplicable worries. He felt that Chen Qi had a trump card, but he didn't know what it was.
The Yongle Bell, the largest existing bronze bell in China, was cast during the Yongle period. It is now located in the Big Bell Temple on the North Third Ring Road of Beijing.
In the 1950s, Dazhong Temple became the second food factory in the capital, producing preserved fruits, sodas, biscuits, etc. In recent years, religious policies have gradually been restored, that is, monks can wear cassocks and do not need to write a party application.
But there were no monks in the Big Bell Temple for a long time. As for the food factory, it was simply renovated and turned into an ancient clock museum, which was opened to the public in 1985.
It was early this morning.
Chen Qi was so busy that he still found time to come over and took Gong Xue and Zhang Yimou with him.
It was not long before he entered the temple. He was not in the mood to walk in the snow to visit the ancient times. He just walked in crunching on the snow and broken ice. Under the guidance of the staff, he arrived at the last courtyard, where a large bell tower stood.
There is a big bell hanging in the building, and there is a spiral staircase to go up.
Zhang Yimou stood at the bottom, looked up at the black bronze clock, and was amazed. Then he used his talent as a photographer to find the best shooting angle.
Chen Qi and Gong Xue climbed up the stairs and arrived at the big bell. The bell was 6.75 meters high, 3.7 meters in diameter, and weighed 46.5 tons. It felt very oppressive hanging there. Chen Qi touched the bell and the hammer.
The staff saw that he wanted to ring the bell and hurriedly said: "Don't use too much force. When the bell is struck lightly, it is round and deep; when struck hard, it is rich and loud. The sound can be transmitted as far as 90 miles and lasts for 2 minutes."
"So awesome!"
While Gong Xue was marveling, Chen Qi started to use the bar: "90 miles? That's 45 kilometers. It's only 45 kilometers from here to Changping. Are you sure they can hear it? There are still 2 minutes left, wow..."
Before he could come out, Gong Xue kicked him and smiled at the embarrassed staff member: "Comrade, can we give him a light tap?"
"Okay, okay!"
Immediately, she pulled Chen Qi, and the two of them worked together to swing the hammer and bumped it twice. The sound was really mellow and clear, and it was very pleasant. Chen Qi nodded and said to Zhang Yi, who had already come up: "Old Zhang, How are you?"
"How many of us should ring the bell?" "Six people!"
"That's almost it. It's pretty easy to shoot." Chen Qi looked for four bells.
The Yongle Bell in the capital, the Jingyun Bell in Xi'an, the Zenghou Yi Chime in Wuhan, and the Hanshan Temple Bell in Suzhou can barely be considered geographically to be in the southeast and northwest.
Zeng Houyi's chime bell was unearthed in 1978, and the song "The East Is Red" was played in August of that year. It was played again on National Day in 1979, and then in 1997 when Hong Kong returned to the motherland. It could not be played casually, and it had to be struck with special approval from the central government. of.
This era is different, and many things are not so strict.
Moreover, when ringing the bells at midnight during the Spring Festival Gala, there is no need to ring the entire set of chimes, just a few chimes.
The three of them came out and got into the car. Gong Xue took out a small notebook and said like a confidential secretary: "More than a dozen young singers from all over the country have come one after another and have been arranged in the guest house. When will you see it?" look?"
"Hu Weili hasn't finished composing the music yet, so let's stay here first."
"A few short films have been sent from studios from various places. Nan Sheng has also sent short films from Singapore and Malaysia. When will Fei Xiang come?" "I'll be with his mother at the end of the month."
"Then should we shoot it on site?" Gong Xue suggested, and Zhang Yimou nodded.
"Communicating with others is, after all, a private matter."
Chen Qi leaned on the back of his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and took advantage of the short time on the road to rest. He sorted out the content in his mind. If he ran at full speed, he should be able to complete it before the evaluation.
The program is important, and the video is also important. They must be seen by the leaders, so that the pattern and intention of the party created by him can be realized, that is, "the people of China celebrate together, and the Chinese people are one family!"
The Spring Festival is the most common symbol of the Chinese nation, and it must also exist as a symbol to export a lot of things.
He went through it in his mind and felt a little reassured.
The van drove back to the Ministry of Culture. Chen Qi got off the bus and was about to go to the small auditorium to watch the rehearsal. Dai Hanhan suddenly ran out of the building: "Teacher Chen! Teacher Chen! This is incredible!"
"You weren't staying at Lechunfang, why did you come here?" "It's a disaster!"
Dai Hanhan shouted: "Beijing Film Studio, a family of six from Beijing Film Studio moved into our building!"
Chapter completed!
