Chapter 201: Hong Kong's two heroes are no match for Lin

At nine o'clock the next morning.

There is still one hour left until the finalists for the World Cup theme song are announced.

Countless netizens called the theme song of this World Cup in China "the once-in-a-millennium version", and the topic was unprecedentedly hot.

The number of people browsing Weibo has increased dramatically, and it is filled with football fans, black fans and spectators.

For a while, posts about football filled the screen.

[I, a humble person, also wrote a line of lyrics for this World Cup: "My goal is always open, and I embrace the world with my arms wide open."]

[There is only one way to make the Chinese national football team rise, add a "football" subject to the college entrance examination. ]

[Don't criticize the Chinese national football team. The Chinese national football team is the lifesaver of a buddy of mine. He was in a car accident last year and became a vegetable. He has been lying in the hospital and he can't wake up no matter how hard we try. The doctor said there is no hope... Until last month, the nurse turned on the TV and it happened to be a Chinese national football match. He got up and turned off the TV. ]

…

Bird's Nest Stadium.

"We hold hands together and we bear it together~~"

"We have the same love~~"

In response to the international music scene and to raise funds for charity, the stars are standing on the stage of the stadium singing loudly and doing their final rehearsal.

Under the stage, in the audience seats.

Zhao Weiguang, the author of the charity song "Human Love", hugged his shoulders and watched the stars singing, nodding with great satisfaction.

"Brother Huang, what do you think of this song?"

Huang Xiao, who was also invited to participate, glanced at Zhao Weiguang who was asking for his opinion, and nodded, "The song is good, the audience will like it. You should dye your hair when you have time. I feel bad when you call me big brother."

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Weiguang adjusted his glasses, touched the white hair at his temples, and sighed, "I am getting old, over 50 years old. This may be my last creation."

"Don't worry."

Huang Xiao patted his chest and said, "I, your elder brother, haven't retired yet. The fact that we chose you to sing the theme song for the charity show shows that the music industry still needs you to shine."

"That's right."

Zhao Weiguang took a sip of water and suddenly asked, "Brother, I remember you also composed the World Cup theme song, and you asked your students to write the lyrics. Why did I hear that you suddenly quit a few days ago?"

"oh."

Huang Xiao nodded, sighed, and explained: "I can't win, it's embarrassing to post it, so I quit."

"Puff! Cough cough..."

Zhao Weiguang chuckled, choked on his saliva, and said, "Not really, not really. I've heard your song. There's a chance you can win."

Zhao Weiguang and Huang Xiao are known as the two heroes of Hong Kong's lyrics and music. They have been competing with each other for a lifetime and both have a competitive spirit. Like the two old men of equal strength playing chess in the park, they are very happy to win against each other.

Zhao Weiguang thought that Huang Xiao withdrew from the competition because he listened to his song and thought he was no match for him. He had been fighting all his life, but this was the first time he gave up before the fight. He was so happy after hearing this.

Huang Xiao knew this old man too well. Seeing him coughing and covering his mouth with his hands, he knew that he had misunderstood. He curled his lips and said, "Don't laugh. I didn't withdraw from the competition because of you. I withdrew because of a very powerful new star."

"Rising star?"

Zhao Weiguang was quite surprised. He looked up and thought for a moment before asking, "Are you talking about the young man named Lin Zhixing?"

"You know him?"

Huang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"certainly!"

Zhao Weiguang stroked the teacup in his hand and nodded, saying, "There should be no one in the music circle who doesn't know him, right? There's even a catchy saying about him, calling him... If you don't know Lin Zhixing, it's useless to call him a singer."

"Oh my, this is the first time I hear this."

Huang Xiao smiled and shook his head. "But in terms of popularity, this jingle is correct. I heard that the Korean version of the song "Little Apple" a while ago even made it into the top ten of the Korean charts."

Zhao Weiguang nodded. "Yes, I heard it three times on the way from home to the stadium. I heard the ringtone twice when I was on the phone backstage."

"This young man is really amazing. The music he created while participating in your program has become popular overseas. I admire him after listening to it."

Huang Xiao recalled the shocks Lin Zhixing had brought to him, and praised him generously, "In the future, he will be the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea in the music world."

The conversation has gone off track...

Zhao Weiguang came to his senses, put down his teacup, and asked curiously, "Did you decide to withdraw from the World Cup after listening to the World Cup theme song he composed? Is that song really that great? Did you listen to my song?"

He was full of curiosity about this song, as it could make his old rival want to retreat.

"your?"

Huang Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying seriously: "Let me tell you this, how good is his song? You shouldn't compare our songs."

Zhao Weiguang became even more curious and asked eagerly, "Whose should I compare it with?"

"It should be compared to the theme songs of previous World Cups."

"So, you think his song will definitely be selected as the theme song of this World Cup?"

Huang Xiao nodded, "Yes, I even think that if we rank the historical World Cup theme songs, his song can be ranked in the top three!"

"Top...top three?"

Zhao Weiguang opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, but looking at his old friend's confident look and his understanding of him, he felt that he was not exaggerating.

Is it really that powerful?

Zhao Weiguang took out his cell phone and looked down at the time.

Half an hour later, he wants to hear this song first.

…

…

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Weibo, in collaboration with the World Cup Organizing Committee, released the ten shortlisted songs on time and opened voting.

At the same time, countless netizens started listening to the song as soon as possible.

When netizens saw the name "Lin Zhixing", they were very surprised, because he did not do any promotion on Weibo, and fans had no idea that he also composed the World Cup theme song.

After learning that it was his song, some die-hard fans even voted first and then started listening.

Lin Zhixing did not do any publicity. As the saying goes, real gold fears no fire, so there is no way this song could lose.

At this moment, he is practicing singing with Song Ge and the Big Devil, preparing to shock the audience of the charity performance tomorrow night with "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon".

…

Backstage at Bird's Nest Stadium.

"A successful start?"

Zhao Weiguang put on his headphones and immediately clicked on Lin Zhixing's song. He closed his eyes and started the audition mode, just to see if it was as good as Huang Xiao said.

The song begins...

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

A very ethnic drum beat sounded, followed by a chorus of "Oh oh oh oh" from many people.

The melody is dynamic and exciting, as if bringing people to the hot arena.

Zhao Weiguang's eyes suddenly lit up. This prelude was so well composed that it gave him an immersive magical feeling. It perfectly met the potential of a chorus of thousands of people.

It seems that what my old friend Huang Xiao said was right. If we compete on the prelude, my song has already lost.

Soon, the main song began.

“Happy and exciting”

"Don't ask if you can pick the stars"

"Success is now with me"

“Define the future and glorify the present”

Sounds good!

The song is cheerful and powerful, the melody is passionate, energetic and highly contagious.

Zhao Weiguang was completely attracted by the song.

"Hold your head high and feel refreshed"

"The world is only as vast as your heart and mine"

"You are a friend from all over the world"

"Our hearts are connected to cheer for you"

The lyrics are very broad-minded, grand and passionate.

Hearing this, Zhao Weiguang felt the freedom regardless of race or age, which was a refreshing feeling.

Why is this? Why is there a sense of racelessness and freedom?

Is it because the lyrics are so passionate?

wrong!

Zhao Weiguang pondered it, and when he realized it, he slapped his thigh. It was a musical accompaniment, using a lot of traditional African percussion instruments.

The characteristics of the instruments there are "freedom" and "vastness".

How wonderful!

Zhao Weiguang's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this.

He actually came up with the idea of ​​using non-Nigerian percussion instruments! This kid is so terrifying.

"Youth is a song"

"Let's sing together towards the light"

"Look, the world is at our feet"

"Kick the dream to the infinite sky"

Song Ge's female voice came, and her tone that made Zhao Weiguang's eyes light up again.

…

at the same time.

Wang Dongsheng, a creator who was also shortlisted, immediately clicked on Lin Zhixing's "Flag of Victory" and made a secret decision.

If I lose to him again this time, I will resign and retire.

"Sing together, sweat makes dreams grow, you make me grow"

"The flag is like the wings of the wind, you give me strength"

"GO starts with a win. GO starts with a win."

"GO has had a great start and the GO world is boiling"

The chorus of the song is full of inspiring power, which gives people more confidence and encourages them to move forward courageously.

Wang Dongsheng listened to half of the song "Flag of Victory" and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was a smile of relief.

"Let's sing together to celebrate the victory"

"The world is boiling, let's sing together"

After listening to the whole song, Wang Dongsheng slid the mouse, cast a vote for the song "Flag of Victory", and then slowly took off his headphones.

I glanced at the lyrics department of Haisen Records reluctantly and thought to myself, "We are really old. The remnants of the old era can't catch the ship of the new era. From now on, the world will be ruled by young people."

"Back off!"

He then printed out a resignation report, filled it out, and called the official Weibo account.

"Hello, I'm Wang Dongsheng, I want to withdraw from the vote."

…

Inside a villa.

Xiao Shiyi Niang and her nephew Zhang Long listened to the song "Flag of Victory" together.

After listening to the song...

Xiao Shiyi squinted her eyes and smiled at her nephew, saying, "Xiaolong, I'm sorry to disappoint you. It seems that I am only suitable for writing songs for your uncle. I can't beat him."

Zhang Long, who also listened to the entire song carefully, nodded with relief, "It's okay, thank you, aunt."

It seems that "The Birth of a Group" is an illusory dream. Being in the same position at the time created the illusion that everyone's abilities were similar, which weakened the differences between people.

They were not originally traveling on the same road, they just happened to be waiting for the same red light.

Zhang Long turned around and went to the bathroom, washed his face several times, looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and then dialed the phone.

"Hey, Zhenzhen."

"What's wrong baby?"

"Let's disband our group. I don't want to sing anymore."

…

Inside the Bird's Nest Stadium.

After listening to the whole song, Zhao Weiguang felt his scalp tingling and secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. He really wanted to meet this musical genius Lin Zhixing.

If I compare my own song with this song "Flag of Victory", I have to throw it away. There is no comparison at all. It is beaten in all aspects from the prelude to the ending.

No wonder his old rival Huang Xiao chose to withdraw from the competition after hearing this song. If I had heard it at the beginning, I would have made the same choice.

After some thought, he dialed the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Weiguang."

"I just don't understand, do you have such a low level of appreciation? After listening to "Flag of Victory", how can you have the nerve to put other songs on the shortlist?"

"Take my work off the shelves immediately. 'Flag of Victory' is the final answer!"

…

…

In the principal's office of a high school.

Principal Wang, who is concerned about current hot topics, also listened to the song "Flag of Victory" as soon as possible.

After hearing this, he felt his blood boiling and kicked away the bottle of drink he had just finished drinking.

Principal Wang, who plays football, is very annoying, but when he listened to this song, he felt something different.

youth!

Inspirational!

Chasing dreams!

This song is very suitable for students to use during morning exercises and is also very applicable to campus sports meets. Students should listen to it carefully.

Then, Principal Wang called the physical education teacher.

Outside the playground.

"You are my little apple"

"I can never love you enough"

At this moment, all the students are dancing passionately to the music of "Little Apple".

"Hello? Principal Wang."

"What? The music for running exercises has been changed now?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."

The physical education teacher hung up the phone, shook his head helplessly, and ran straight to the broadcasting room with his long legs.

I complained in my heart that the principal was a person who really liked to follow the trend. After hearing "Arrogant and Laughing at the Waves", he changed the school's morning reading bell.

After seeing students from other schools dancing to "Little Apple", they immediately changed the physical exercises during breaks.

Now they listened to the song "Flag of Victory" and changed the ring tone for running exercises! "Damn, you are a jerk who sees people pooping!"

Five minutes later...

As usual, after the teacher's speech, the students lined up and prepared to run into the classroom.

As the teacher in the radio room pressed the play button, the music of "Flag of Victory" sounded and the playground was in an uproar.

"What song?"

"Fuck, so hot-blooded!"

"It's Oh Ye Ge's singing. He's so handsome. I want to give birth to a baby for him!"

The passionate singing ignited the students' enthusiasm, and their running speed increased by 20%.

In the toilet.

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he pretended to squat in the toilet to avoid the bad boys who were doing morning exercises.

At this moment, listening to the inspiring music from the speakers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and an idea popped up in our minds.

"I really want to run..."

…

…

On Weibo.

In just twenty minutes, "Flag of Victory" directly topped the Weibo hot search list.

Not only did the votes crush the competition, netizens also noticed that several songs were missing and several Weibo posts were added to the voting list.

[Zhao Weiguang]: "After listening to "Flag of Victory", I feel that this is the theme song of the World Cup. I am ashamed of myself. Please support "Flag of Victory"."

[Wang Dongsheng]: "'Flag of Victory' is the answer, I won't take up your time."

[Xiao Shiyi Niang]: "I believe everyone will be able to hear this song on TV soon."

Lin Zhixing’s Weibo also went viral, with netizens giving him rave reviews.

“I personally think this is the best World Cup theme song.”

"I declare that Oh Ye Ge has become a god with this song!"

…

In a room.

Huang Xiao browsed Weibo and learned that his old friend Zhao Weiguang had also withdrawn from the competition. He smiled and shook his head.

"Old, old!"

——The two heroes of Hong Kong City are no match for Lin.
