Calm down!

It’s not time to draw a conclusion yet!

Zheng Qian hinted to himself, and then continued to wait for Wang Chuanjun to review the lyrics and music.

After a long time, Wang Chuanjun let out a long breath and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will always win! This lyrics is amazing! Xiao Zheng, what are you thinking about? You can write it in just a few days."

Produce such a work?"

Zheng Qian said with a smile: "Three days of freezing is not a day of freezing. In fact, when I was writing "Piano Torrent March", I thought of the melody of "Soul of the Chinese Army"..."

Wang Chuanjun looked at Zheng Qian blankly, and then gave a thumbs up: "Bull!"

After expressing some emotion again, Wang Chuanjun made a phone call and called over Li Yuming, the leader of the chorus and orchestra of the General Political Department Song and Dance Ensemble.

Li Yuming will serve as the performance conductor of "China's Brilliance" at this National Day Gala.

Like Wang Chuanjun, as soon as Li Yuming got the lyrics and music, he looked at them for a while and suddenly became excited and incoherent: "Xiao Zheng, it's better to hear than to see. This song "The Soul of the Chinese Army" is so annoying to me! I have already imagined it.

I got the picture of the day of the performance. The arrangement is magnificent and the lyrics are sonorous and powerful. It’s so shocking!”

The wrinkles on Li Yuming's smiling face were deep: "Director Wang, your studio really has a great general! Xiao Zheng alone can definitely take on five groups!"

The troupe referred to here is naturally a song and dance troupe.

Wang Chuanjun also laughed: "Old Li, you can't say this casually. If it spreads, it will flatter Xiao Zheng!"

Zheng Qian also said quickly: "Li Zhi has given me the award."

Li Yuming shook his head with a smile and played the "Soul of the Chinese Army" in his hand. "My words are not without purpose. Xiao Zheng, I have always been paying attention to you. You wrote "The March of Steel Torrent", right? Our orchestra also often

Rehearsing this piece is really refreshing. In the past two days, "My Motherland" has also become popular all over the country. Now there is another song like "The Soul of the Chinese Army". I have never seen such an excellent song in all my years.

As a songwriter, the key words are also very beautifully written, and he is also a singer himself, so he is really versatile!"

Zheng Qian was a little embarrassed by the praise.

After that, the three of them went to the recording studio together to start arranging the music.

In the afternoon, the members of the General Political Department Chorus gathered together to receive guidance from Zheng Qian.

The chorus has a total of 69 members and is affiliated to the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe. However, the General Political Department Chorus has the right to recruit choirs from major art troupes. Therefore, many times, at large parties, the audience can see military stations of different natures such as sea, land and air.

Singing on the same stage.

This time, in order to bring an unprecedented performance to the National Day Gala, the General Political Department issued a document and requisitioned 20 chorus members from the Air Administration Art Troupe and the Sea Administration Art Troupe to form a 100-person choir with the General Administration Chorus.

In addition, musicians from the General Political Orchestra will also participate in the "Soul of the Chinese Army" performance.

There will be at least about 120 people on a stage.

Zheng Qian left after exchanging the details of singing "Soul of the Chinese Army" with Li Yuming.

At this time, it was already late at night. Returning to the General Government's Residence Hall and sitting in his room, Zheng Qian's mind was filled with the events of the day.

He thought of the singers in the choir who were in a rich and vigorous spirit. When they tried to sing "The Soul of the Chinese Army", their faces were full of holiness and brilliance, and their huge cohesion deeply shocked Zheng Qian's soul.

All along, Zheng Qian never thought about the connotation of the song when composing it, only whether it was suitable or not. He even wrote a song without any psychological burden.

But today, the choir teachers taught Zheng Qian a lesson.

Every song, especially works like "Soul of the Chinese Army" and "My Motherland", is not just about singing them out.

It is about realizing the connotation of the song and performing it with the emotion and mentality of respect, reverence and reverence.

Teachers praise themselves and maintain respect.

But in fact, it is not about respecting yourself, but respecting the people who created these works.

During the exchange, a choir member named Jiang Hua told Zheng Qian.

Singing is actually a type of performance. A good singer is also a good actor.

Not only do you need to convey your voice to the audience, but you also need to convey the emotions you want to express into the hearts of the audience.

Many singers will prepare their emotions before performing on stage. The most direct and effective way is to enter into the perspective of the songwriter and into the story of the lyrics and music.

After listening to this, Zheng Qian was moved in his heart.

The singing voices of the choir teachers echoed in his mind, while he banged his hands on the desk, a slow rhythm sounded, and he also hummed softly:

"I love you China, beloved mother

I cry for you and I am proud of you..."

In the silent room, Zheng Qian suddenly stood up, imitating the gestures directed by Li Yuming, imagining the situation of a young boy named Cha who was working hard overseas and studying abroad, so he waved his hands and sang softly:

"Sometimes I feel lonely and helpless

Like stones rolling down the hillside

But just think of your name

I will always regain my confidence

sometimes i lose my bearings

Like a stray swallow in the sky

But as long as I think of your existence

You won’t feel afraid anymore…”

The room was dark, with no lights on, and the roar of cars could be faintly heard in the distance.

On such a night, Zheng Qian sang this song with tears in his eyes.

After the song was finished, Zheng Qian came out of his strange state and sat by the bed, silent for a long time.

Then he started writing songs.

This song "I Love You China" will be Zheng Qian's first work on the stage of the National Day Gala.

…

The next morning, Zheng Qian made an appointment with People's Daily special issue reporter Liu Zhen to meet at a bookstore in Nanluogu Lane.

This bookstore was well hidden. Zheng Qian searched a lot and followed the house number all the way to find the location.

The bookstore was very quiet. In addition to a few bookcases piled with books, there were four or five British shorthair and Siamese cats licking their paws and looking at the customers entering the store.

There was only one female store manager in the bookstore. When she saw Zheng Qian coming, she stepped forward to greet him and then led Zheng Qian towards a corner of the bookstore.

At this time, Liu Zhen had already stood up and looked at Zheng Qian with a smile. When Zheng Qian approached, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zheng."

"Just call me Zheng Qian."

Zheng Qian looked at Liu Zhen, who looked like he was in his early thirties, elegant, and his mouth seemed a little crooked when he smiled.

The two parties shook hands and then took their seats.

The store manager brought two cups of coffee, looked at Zheng Qian curiously, but didn't seem to be very interested, and turned around and left.

Liu Zhen was very professional and showed his ID to Zheng Qian. After chatting for a while, he started working.

There were two photographers nearby who had already started working, one taking pictures and the other taking pictures. Liu Zhen also turned on the voice recorder and put it on the table.

The assistant was writing notes next to him.

Although the interview started around the song "My Motherland", Liu Zhen seemed to want to dig into something deeper, so he started talking about Zheng Qian's childhood.

For example, Liu Zhen easily told information about Zheng Qian's elementary and middle school information, where he studied at that time, how he performed in school, the teacher who was Zheng Qian's class teacher at the time, and his classmates, etc.

Zheng Qian was surprised because he couldn't remember some people and things, but Liu Zhen knew them all very well. He even brought a passage from the middle school teacher, all of which were proud of Zheng Qian, which shocked Zheng Qian.

It almost fell to the ground.

Was the original unit of People's Daily the Intelligence Investigation Section?

Zheng Qian even had a creepy feeling.

Seeing Zheng Qian's shocked and puzzled expression, Liu Zhen smiled happily: "In addition to the intranet for us to query, our newspaper has intelligence collectors all over the country. No matter what matter is being investigated, they can collect information as soon as possible.

And since you are a public figure, some information is easy to check. For example, yesterday you wrote another song "Soul of the Chinese Army" and gave it to the chorus of the General Political Department Song and Dance Ensemble to perform. We also know about this.

In addition, let me tell you one more thing. Your father Zheng Wei's Duowang Fresh Milk Company just acquired a ranch in Hohhot two days ago."

"And in North China, your father-in-law also acquired a logistics company..."

Zheng Qian felt that this reporter named Liu Zhen was too arrogant. Wasn't this an invasion of privacy?

Liu Zhen coughed and said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking now, but there is no way. We must review these materials, because the higher-ups favor you very much and intend to mold you into a role model for contemporary youth and set the tone for the times.

Model, you will become one of China's top ten outstanding youths in 2004."

China's top ten outstanding youths were selected by ten major news organizations including People's Daily, Guangming Daily, and Youth Daily. Zheng Qian has become this year's candidate and only has to be finally announced.

Although Zheng Qian had heard about this matter, he was actually told by a reporter from the People's Daily, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Your identity and background are normal. Even if you live overseas for five years, we can mostly understand the situation."

Liu Zhen said: "Okay, now that we have a general understanding, we can start asking formal questions."

Zheng Qian immediately corrected his attitude.
