In addition:

Even if you are not interested in the Olympics or music, you will occasionally hear some Olympic songs under the wave of propaganda and offensive. I have to say that thanks to the forests in Hongkong and China, Chinese characters, the most attractive symbol of China culture, will not be put to shame. In many songs to welcome and celebrate the Olympic Games, most of them are superficial, moaning without illness, being mysterious and artificial. Lin saved our audio-visual and once "shaky" Olympic songs.

Here, I have no intention to comment on other people's works. As long as thoughtful friends listen and think about it, they will find that China's words are profound and mysterious. The same words, the same melody, the same language rules, different arrangements, different ways and different angles of entry have completely different effects. In this lyric poem of Lin, we can read tolerance, sincerity, infinite love, passion, enthusiasm, happiness, joy and national dignity. Lin worshippers wrote thousands of words, and his heart was filled with thousands of words. China's words shone brightly under his understatement, and he also showed the world the most beautiful side of China culture.

Reading Lin's ci is a kind of enjoyment, in which prosody and poetry are always gently rippling. Every word of Lin Ci is carefully crafted. One more word is too heavy and one less word is too light, which shows the power of words. Especially, the lyrics and wonderful sentences written for this Olympic song not only show his unique writing skills, but also show his profound understanding of China, the Olympics, the world and mankind!

I won't go into details about Lin and his ci here. Let's stop and read his masterpiece Welcome to Beijing.

Another: interview

Sina Entertainment News The countdown to the Beijing Olympic Games 100 day theme song "Welcome to Beijing" will be sung by Jackie Chan (listening to the song blog), Na Ying (listening to the song), Liu Huan (listening to the song), Eason Chan (listening to the song blog) and other 100 first-line singers, and a press conference will be held on the morning of 17.

On the afternoon of the same day (17), at 16: 30, the creators of this song "Welcome to Beijing", Lin, Xiao Ke (listening to the song blog) and Yu, made an exclusive visit to Sina Live Studio, and shared the theme song of this 100 Olympic countdown with netizens at the first time. The following is the record of this chat:

Moderator Zhao Ning (blog): Welcome to Sina users. I'm Zhao Ning, the host. This morning, the countdown to the Beijing Olympic Games100th theme song "Welcome to Beijing" was held. This afternoon, we are very lucky to have the main lineup of this song as a guest on Sina. Welcome them. The teachers are Xiao Ke, Lin and Yu. Welcome four. Let's give some applause to liven up this afternoon. (Laughter)

(Applause)

"Welcome to Beijing" is not a slogan, but the simplest and most practical mood.

Speaking of the word lively, we think it is really lively. Such a song combines the participation of so many stars from across the Taiwan Straits and three places, as well as the composition of Xiao Ke and Lin. Four people took part in such an activity. Share it first. Miss Xiao Ke goes first.

Xiao Ke: I think this event is particularly meaningful. Why does it make sense? I don't represent the three of them, I represent myself, that is, the change of my own thinking. The word "thought" is actually straight and white, but it is actually. I didn't like to mention this word when I was a child, but now I'm older, because the words "Welcome to Beijing" are slogans in many people's ears, and we didn't like to shout this slogan at least in the 1970s, but liked to do it.

So when I was writing the first draft of Welcome to Beijing, I didn't even leave room for Mr. Lin to write these words, just because we didn't want to shout this slogan. We wanted to use some simpler music and language to express our feelings with these five words. But when written to a certain extent, this sentence can't help but flow out, because it turns out that this sentence was originally a slogan, which turned out to be the simplest and most plain, that is, it can express the feelings of Beijingers most naturally. Therefore, there is such an ideological change in my creative process.

Because at first, for example, I shouted slogans, but I couldn't afford to invite everyone. We have no choice. I'm pretending to smile. It's good to be here, but alas, our family is poor, and it's not like this now. Now we are very confident. When you are rich, you will open your heart and sincerely welcome people outside. Then the slogan became a practical word, which is the change. After thinking about many things, we feel confident and confident to meet friends from all corners of the country.

With China's pentatonic mode, there is China's unique DNA.

Moderator Zhao Ning: At the press conference, Mr. Xiao Ke kept laughing and said that he was the only Beijing child born and raised in the creative lineup (laughs).

Xiao Ke: This creation is like this. When I started thinking about this topic, my first instinct was to write a folk song, that is, we have three folk songs, folk songs, folk songs and nursery rhymes. Folk songs are a kind of ballad that only adults can understand. They are called ballads, and nursery rhymes are sung by children, but old people and children can sing them, that is, many ballads. Many old people can sing children's songs, and he can also sing folk songs, which will make him feel more different. Therefore, the style of this song is first established as a ballad, and then the style of Beijing. This is a ballad in my mind for more than 30 years.

Then, China's pentatonic mode was used in the creative process. Later, when recording, the singer joked, Xiaoke, you are really hard. Turn these five sounds upside down and just go up and down. Actually, I think since the Olympic Games are held in China, this music should have the unique DNA of China people.

Moderator: In the introduction of Xiao Ke, I vaguely felt that you finished the song first and then gave it to Teacher Lin.

Xiao Ke: Yes.

Lin: Drop all your weapons and express your feelings for no reason.

Moderator: Can you ask Mr. Lin to talk about your feelings about this word?

Lin: Just now, Xiao Ke mentioned "Welcome to Beijing". I don't think so. At first, I didn't think it was a typical slogan, because after all, if we omit the word Beijing and say welcome, it just turns the protagonist into Beijing. So I don't think it will be too slogan-oriented, but I also resist slogan-oriented things, that is, I think it is natural for Beijing to welcome you, which can be one of the themes of an Olympic Games. But the problem is that Beijing welcomes you, which can be a slogan in itself, but it is also a very colloquial thing if you think deeply. Welcome. My problem is that I want to use the simplest language, the simplest words, especially now the music decides to use the folk style, so I can't use a word skill to make pictures or express any information too much. I must use the simplest words, the whole tone is like a Beijinger or any China person.

Think about one thing, open a door, and then meet some guests who have been here or are complete strangers. What's your mentality? I think as the host country of the Olympic Games, I should be quite confident, but not proud. He is tolerant, but his attitude and position are very clear. So it's complicated enough for you to listen to what I just said, but I want to express it in the simplest words.

In the past, I used many weapons. We say that there are weapons for writing lyrics. For example, I used a metaphor and personification, but I must give up all weapons. I just wrote something for no reason, and the requirements of the Olympic Organizing Committee put a lot of pressure on me. Four words are precious and need the simplest words, but there are some philosophies and ideas behind them. So it's actually very difficult, this is very difficult, because the most difficult part of any creation, the highest realm, I think is to return to nature. In fact, the word return to nature is easy to say, and it is actually much more difficult to achieve such a real effect than to write a lot and play with a lot of fancy things.

Moderator Zhao Ning: Many friends who left messages on the Internet said that they liked this song very much.

Netizen (Tianjin): After listening to it many times, I feel that the melody is very nice, the songs are catchy and the lyrics are appreciated. For example, the picturesque song sung by singer Han Geng with a smile is waiting for you, which is very artistic.

Chen Shaoqi: The singers are very professional and cooperate with each other. The recording process went smoothly.

Moderator Zhao Ning: Just now, we chatted with two teachers, our songwriters, and wanted to ask Mr. Chen Shaoqi, the producer, whether there will be some pressure and challenges in the face of this job.

Chen Shaoqi: To put it bluntly, the pressure is actually greater than last time. Their song has been written. After a very painful process, we made a demo. I'm really afraid of getting that list. Because all the singers add up, I can boldly say that no author can give such a weighty singer the same song and give them a backup. There shouldn't be. So at first, Xiaoke and I recorded the part in Beijing for about seven or eight days, and then we will fly to Hong Kong and Taiwan for seven or eight days. Finally, I will bring all the soundtracks back to Beijing for post-production.

You can see many singers on that list. He is an excellent musician himself. They all sing a thousand times better than me, so they all listen attentively to what we should sing, including Xiao Ke, who insists on every voice, where there is no breath. They all agreed. So we are very touched by this.

Moderator Zhao Ning: I want to interrupt, why is Mr. Xiao Ke so strict with the ventilation of some airports?

Xiao Ke: That's right, because many people are harmonious and tidy, and we don't know what it will be like in the end, so the more complicated the work behind, the more uniform the work ahead will be.

Moderator Zhao Ning: I also hope that the style will have a unified feeling as much as possible.

Xiao Ke: Yes.

Chen Shaoqi: Otherwise, for example, hundreds of singers have registered now. If everyone is different, we can't get together in the end, so they all understand this and listen to us, so this is my first contact. The second touch is also pressure, because everyone sings a paragraph or two, but we really don't know which one to use, because singers join me every day, so they comfort me instead. Then, don't emphasize it so much. You should record it first. Each of them will go into the shed for an hour and sing his part first. In fact, everyone knows when he sings, and there may be only five words in the end. Maybe.

The production content is huge, integrating more than 1000 paragraphs.

Moderator Zhao Ning: He said it hundreds of times just to explain these words, which is not easy (laughs).

Chen Shaoqi: Yes, there is another interesting little thing. On the first day of our recording, the first singer came in. It was Leehom. Can you say that? We just finished the music that day. That was Xiaoke's last effort, because the night before the recording was still being sorted out and revised, and the speed was also accelerating. So the first day of recording, the music didn't sing, it was completely accompanied and empty. Then after Leehom came in, dozens of us sang a song. As a result, he sang the whole song, which was equivalent to singing a demo. So later, everyone, the second person came in and the third person came in. They said why Wang Leehom sang the whole song, because the music was empty at that time, so we asked him to sing from beginning to end. This is also the second step. Finally, I want to say that the whole song is finished. We brought all the audio tracks back to Beijing, and the computer didn't work.

Xiao Ke: The file of this song is11g.

Chen Shaoqi: This is also the biggest one I have ever made.

Xiaoke: one * * * more than a thousand paragraphs, more than a thousand files. Because there are so many singers, we can't drive so many computers later, just work very hard to do the final work.

Chen Shaoqi: So after I finished that effect, there was one thing I didn't expect. I started by helping them make a chorus, and finally listened to the final version. I really think the song has gone beyond the superficial meaning of these five words, that is, Beijing welcomes you and sends invitations to the whole world. I hope that after the Olympic Games, this song will be held in Beijing in the future, and we can all use it, that is, it will continue to be passed down. I believe this song was sung by so many big names at the same time, and then the meaning in it was specially written for the Olympics, that is, inviting guests to my place, having a look and taking a walk, so I think this song should be handed down from generation to generation.

Recording in four places at the same time.

Zhao Ning, the host: From the introductions of the three singers, we know that there are so many sincere cooperation, so many efforts and so many passions between singers and musicians, which finally made the Welcome to Beijing that we heard today. Of course, at this time, we must solemnly invite our spare boss. As we know, boss Yu personally participated from beginning to end, even as the initiator, then as the executor, and finally formed. I believe you should be the most experienced.

Yu: It's terrible (laughs). I was relieved when I finished the sample. When the Olympic Organizing Committee told me that they were going to make another song, I was shocked, because my first thought was that it was difficult for a song to exceed the sample. Later, I met them once, twice or three times. What do we want to do and why do we want to make such a song? We have a proposal. Welcome to Beijing. What is behind Beijing's welcome to you? What is this core? Why do you want to say Beijing welcomes you? We have been discussing this for a long time. At the end of the discussion, there appeared a direction that we thought was good. Teachers Xiaoke and Lin put forward a good direction, so we decided to do it.

Now that the whole song has been written, really, I have settled down, and the pressure is quite great. I never thought I could finish such a song. It sounds simple, just a few minutes, that is, just said that one of our songs is G, maybe it's not that people in this industry don't know much about it. We usually make a song, and the normal song will not exceed one G, so the recording process is very complicated. We went to four places, and also went to Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and the United States outside the mainland. We record in four different places, and we have to make sure that every voice and everyone. So it's fun, really.

Moderator Zhao Ning: It should be said that there is still a sense of accomplishment. Many people may think that when we have completed this model with sincere cooperation, we should say that we have already had experience, which seems to be a continuous work. But in fact, when we look at these two versions, we will find that they are different in many ways of operation.

Y: I think we have absorbed a lot of experience, including the arrangement in the early and middle stages, as well as the creation. There are a lot of considerations. Because of that experience, we really feel that our production is relatively complete.

Moderator: This time, I would like to ask Mr. Xiaoke and Mr. Lin, is this the first collaboration between lyrics and songs?

Xiao Ke: Not really.

Lin: When was the first time?

Xiao Ke: Jacky Cheung's songs.

L: Yes.

Xiao Ke: Because we are all through copyright companies.

Moderator Zhao Ning: Through the company's matchmaking.

Xiao Ke: It turns out that our cooperation is not so close.

Zhao Ning: I heard that two people often chat and communicate.

Lin: Yes, I talked about that content and urged him to give me the lyrics first, so that he could have some melody ideas.

Xiao Ke: We have the same characteristics in creation. You don't know what to write until you have the lyrics. He must have a melody.

Lin: I actually wrote the lyrics according to this melody. I'm not used to that.

Zhao Ning: What happened later? Gave a lyric first? (Laughter)

Lin: After I spent two nights, I fled back to Hong Kong, where he composed the melody.
