Chapter 555 Olympic Theme Song

Chen Yu was at a loss for words. In short, this Director Zhang was very suspicious.

Surprisingly, the theme song hasn't been released yet at this point.

"Are you so sure that I can write a theme song that suits your taste? You have to understand that music is not something you can just write whenever you want, and it also has to suit your taste. To be honest, I have no idea what your taste is like!"

"But before that, could I hear what these two songs are like?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Of course!" Director Zhang nodded quickly and took out the prepared USB drive.

After listening to the song, Chen Yu felt it was really just average. No wonder Director Zhang was dissatisfied; the song felt somewhat like a eulogy and lacked individuality.

It has lost the distinctive features of Chinese culture.

It's important to understand that the song "Beijing Welcomes You" has unique characteristics. With the theme of "One World, One Dream," it features folk elements. Sung from the perspective of ordinary people in Kyoto, the song uses a folk style to express not only the joy of the people in Kyoto during the Olympics and their welcome to the Olympic guests, but also the positive attitude and sincere feelings of Chinese musicians in warmly welcoming friends from all over the world to Kyoto to participate in the Olympic Games.

Furthermore, the music video incorporates many landmarks of Kyoto, giving it a strong Kyoto flavor. The selected locations not only reflect the appearance of Kyoto but also showcase the long history and culture of Kyoto and even China.

It has very distinctive features and a top-notch theme.

This song expresses how the people of Kyoto confidently welcome the Olympic Games and warmly greet guests from all over the world, allowing them to enjoy the joy and passion brought by the Olympics and experience the ancient yet modern atmosphere of Kyoto.

Most importantly, the song took a month and a half from the initial idea in early March to its completion. The recording materials alone amounted to 11GB. The lyrics and music demos were completed in 5 days, the recording of 100 singers, the photo shoots and the Kyoto Olympic blessing interviews were completed in two weeks, and all the post-production was completed in 6 days. The documentary footage alone amounted to more than 7000 minutes, and more than 200 staff members contributed their hard work and sweat to it.

Many of the singers volunteered to participate in this event, some even turning down commercial performances and traveling to Beijing at their own expense to participate in the recording. Before recording, each singer had to sign a confidentiality agreement.

It's fair to say that even if we wanted to give him "Welcome to Kyoto" now, it would be too late.

Time is too tight. It might have been possible if they had come looking for us in May or June. But now it's too rushed.

"To be honest, even if you're not afraid to say it, I was just trying my luck. I had thought about contacting you before, but I thought you would join in and submit a song, but it turns out you didn't," Director Zhang said with a light smile.

"Okay, it's my fault. To be honest, I did have two songs, one of which I think would be suitable as the theme song for the Beijing Olympics. It's just that I've been very busy here and haven't been able to record it. Also, the recording of this song would require a lot of work and time, so I didn't do it," Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"Really?!" Director Zhang's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

"Of course!" Chen Yu nodded and smiled.

"Your Highness, is this really alright?! If I hadn't come, would this song ever have existed?!" Director Zhang said with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"More or less!" Chen Yu didn't refute, but instead frankly admitted it.

"To be honest, I feel like punching someone right now. Can you let me hear what kind of song it is?!" Director Zhang asked impatiently.

"Of course!" Chen Yu nodded, turned on his computer, and his colleague asked Xiao You to exchange for the instrumental version of "Beijing Welcomes You".

As the music began, Chen Yu spoke softly.

"Welcoming another sunrise, bringing fresh air (Chen Tianjia's voice)"

The aroma changes but the sentiment remains; the fragrance of tea fills the air with affection. (Chen Yu's voice)

My door is always open, welcoming you with open arms. (Na Ying's voice)

Once you've hugged, you'll have a tacit understanding; you'll fall in love with this place. (Stefanie Sun's voice)

······"

As Director Zhang listened, he was overjoyed, shouting in his heart, "Yes, yes, this is it, this is it! This is exactly what I wanted, this is the flavor, this is the song!"

Seeing Director Zhang's ecstatic expression, Chen Yu knew that the song had been approved by him.

It seems that both parallel worlds have chosen the same song as the theme song for the Olympics.

The song wasn't long, but Chen Yu imitated the voices of nearly a hundred people, thanks in no small part to the support of the system and fan points.

"This song is amazing! I'm so glad I came to see you today, or I would have regretted it so much. This is the song, this is the song I've been wanting. I thought your voice changing was already pretty good. I didn't expect it to be this good, the voice of almost a hundred people! It seems your idea is to have 100 stars collaborate on this song!"

Director Zhang looked at Chen Yu and smiled.

"That's right, that's my idea, but as you know, time waits for no one, so if we want to record and play this song, it will take at least a week to complete the production."

As for the singers, Crazy Entertainment will let you choose a portion, and then you'll select singers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China to participate in this recording. As for the music video recording, we'll have to work overtime.

"I've already finalized the shooting plan for the music video. My idea is for all 100 celebrities to come to Beijing and film at various Olympic venues and famous historical sites. In addition, the music video locations include Olympic venues like the 'Bird's Nest' and 'Water Cube,' famous historical sites like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall, as well as the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing Capital International Airport, and traditional Beijing courtyard houses. What do you think?!" Chen Yu finished speaking and looked at Director Zhang.

"I have no objections whatsoever. Your idea is excellent, and I completely agree. You are truly a genius, a freakish genius. I made the right choice coming here today. By the way, do you have any ideas for the other song to be sung at the opening ceremony?!" Director Zhang looked at Chen Yu with burning eyes and asked.

He was really looking forward to Chen Yu nodding, because that would mean his goal for the day had been perfectly achieved.

"Yes, it's a song in both Chinese and English. It's called 'Me and You.' The lyrics are relatively simple, consisting of 42 characters in Chinese and 33 characters in English, yet they possess a rich and even profound 'Chinese symbolism,' blending international elements with 'Chinese civilization.' Besides highlighting humanistic concepts and incorporating a large number of national elements and international styles, the song's greatest and most groundbreaking achievement lies in its stylistic innovation."
