Chapter 93 A Big River with Wide Waves
The main creators of the Spring Festival Gala are currently conducting the final review of the program.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Some people prepared for half a year but still got rejected.
Someone encountered a temporary replacement.
Some people stayed up late to change the program.
This is not an ordinary evening party. It is the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the most important top variety show of the year with the highest ratings of 1.4 billion people.
Everyone worked diligently, revising the script, changing the costumes, and practicing coordination.
Just to present the most perfect stage on the most festive day.
The busiest and most stressful group among them is the main creative team, that is, director Zhang Liang's team.
Zhang Liang gave Xue Yanqin and Iron Man until the end of December at the latest.
Because music programs, unlike language or dance programs, require early rehearsal.
It was said that the song was ready a week ago, and he was waiting anxiously and expectantly.
Today, the song is here!
After seeing the email, he called the main creator over directly.
"The program you've been waiting for is here, everyone please listen to it."
This is not the first time that Iron Man’s song has been performed on the Spring Festival Gala.
Liu Wei has been on stage for two consecutive years. Xue Yanqin had two songs performed on CCTV's National Day Gala this year, not to mention several folk music songs, which shows the ability level of Iron Man.
So the whole team is full of expectations~
"Two?"
"Wow! Liu Wei has a new song too!"
Lin Mo also gave Liu Wei's "Good Days" to Li Rongjia and asked her to deliver it together.
"Good day? Listen to this first!"
The staggered sounds of gongs and drums start to sound, and your body and mind will start to move along with them.
"I'm about to twist!"
【
Hey~~~
Happy gongs and drums beat out the joy of every year
Beautiful dance brings joy every day
The sunshine paints today red
......
】
"How joyous!"
The creator couldn't help but smile.
The corners of my mouth are cracked all the way to the back of my ears.
This song is very infectious.
【
Today is a good day
Whatever you want can come true
Today is a good day
Open the door and welcome the spring breeze
.......
】
"I really like this sentence, everything you dream of can come true!"
"Welcoming the Spring Breeze, it's tailor-made for the Spring Festival Gala!"
Some people couldn't help but dance.
The clamor of gongs and drums, the blast of firecrackers, and the festive atmosphere of Spring Festival spread through the music...
【
...
Today and tomorrow are good days,
We enjoy peace in this prosperous era.
Hehehehe!
】
"good!"
"very good!"
"A prosperous and peaceful era!"
"Starting from a good life is in line with the simple wishes of the general public!"
"May your dreams come true, cherish your time, and finally enjoy peace and prosperity. See the big picture from the small!"
“The music is lively and cheerful, and the rhythm is festive and upbeat!”
"I can't help but start dancing!"
"This is practically tailor-made! I don't believe you if you say he didn't write it for the Spring Festival Gala!"
“It’s in the same vein as the previous ones!”
Director Zhang looked at everyone's reactions and found that no one said anything bad.
As for his other singing programs, no New Year songs of the same type can compare to this one.
I originally thought that if there was really no suitable one, it would be okay to rehash the previous "Good Luck Comes" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
But now they have new products!
"Hey, Mr. Iron Man has so many surprises!"
Normally, you wouldn't think of listening to such New Year songs.
But Chinese New Year feels like there is no meat on the table.
"That's not the song I agreed to play. Let's take a look at the next one first."
One song was agreed upon, two came, and now the giveaway seems to have been unanimously approved.
...
"The song is called 'A Great River'!"
"What's a big river?"
"What's the theme?"
"Could it be more suitable than 'Good Days'?"
"Isn't that off topic?"
Everyone was discussing and wondering, after all, they really couldn't see what the song had to do with the Spring Festival Gala.
The music gradually started...
【
A big river with wide waves
The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides
My home is on the shore...
】
The beginning sounds like a choir singing.
It's a more old-fashioned style of music, neither popular nor accessible enough.
Then Xue Yanqin sang this part of the lyrics again in his high and ethereal voice.
The listening experience is very strong.
It sounds good, no doubt.
But the highlight of this song has not yet come out.
"Hiss, I didn't feel it..."
“I’m afraid it can’t compare to ‘Good Days’?”
Only Director Zhang could hear something amiss in this nostalgic music.
"Listen again!"
As soon as the words fell, the music suddenly rose:
【
This is the beautiful motherland
It's where I grew up
In this vast land
There is beautiful scenery everywhere.
.......
】
!!!
Wow!
“Here I come!”
“This song has an unusual theme!”
Following the lyrics, girls, boys, friends, good wine, shotguns...
Everyone's emotions were getting more and more intense!
Zhang Liang clenched his fists, becoming more and more excited...
【
This is a powerful motherland
It's where I grew up
~
】
!!!
Xue Yanqin's voice gradually rose, and a strong patriotic sentiment was spread to everyone's heart.
The passionate music inexplicably makes people want to cry.
The song is full of deep affection and friendship, taking everyone back to the war years.
"When jackals come, there are hunting rifles..."
"As expected of Iron Man, this song is..."
"Yes, it should be about the Mother River."
“It’s every mother river!”
There were already tears in Zhang Liang's eyes.
The Yellow River is the cradle of Daxia civilization.
This mother river feeds so many people and carries so many people's memories and historical changes.
Zhang Liang's hometown is in a rural area of Yan'an, an old revolutionary base in the Yellow River Basin.
He is in his 50s, but his parents experienced war.
How many times had he sat by the river, listening to his father talk about the lives lost in the war, and watched his hometown gradually get better...
The subtle lyrics in this song hit the mark.
It can be said to be very restrained!
Every sentence touched his heart, deep in his memory, his childhood years, and aroused the blood and passion in his heart!
The past and present of the motherland, the hardships experienced by the people of Daxia and the beauty of today are all vividly expressed in the lyrics.
The beauty of this song lies in the fact that there is no obvious trace of China, Huaxia, or Chinese, and it does not even have any concept of country or race.
It can be sung in any country.
"A big river" can be any river in the world, even a small river or stream.
It can be the unique river in anyone's heart.
This song was written because of the war, but the lyrics take a different approach and do not directly describe the war scenes.
Instead, it depicts the beauty of the country and the loveliness of its people from the completely opposite side.
It represents the universal value of hope for peace and a better life.
"Use your ultimate move!"
"This is no weaker than "As Wish"!"
"The simple opening, 'The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides', reminded me of my childhood!"
"It's soothing and pleasant, forming a sharp contrast with the passionate and uplifting music that follows, and the mood gradually rises!"
"This is the motherland of heroes! It speaks out the voice of the people!"
"High-level vision! Far-reaching intentions!"
"It sang the pride and honor of the people!"
"This song should belong to the people of Daxia!"
“This should be a hymn to the motherland!”
"This song should be called 'My Motherland'!"
“I can’t comment on this song!”
"I don't deserve it!"
"Isn't this because we are not qualified to pick on others?"
...
"How do I choose?"
The assistant director's words brought the excited crowd back to reality.
“…”
"There's no suspense about this. If you don't choose any other one, this one will win!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Uh uh uh, no, choose both!"
"Agree +1!"
"I agree too!"
"This song was originally reserved for this, the previous one was a bonus!"
“But I couldn’t bear to part with the previous song either!”
"Uh uh uh, just stuff these two in there."
Although Zhang Liang was in a dilemma, he had already decided in his heart that he must keep these two poems!
"Defend 'A Mighty River' to the death!"
