Chapter 452: Theme Song Across the Ages
December 1980, Tokyo Japan-Japan TV Station.
The stage with the "All Japan Costume Awards" logo hanging on it and the semi-enclosed stepped auditorium have changed little from later generations.
Before the host Kinichi Hagimoto announced the start of the program.
Backstage, 35 participating individuals or teams were posing in various nervous poses.
What’s funny is that the three BMW executives who had come out halfway before now also joined Dadi Advertising’s team.
At this moment, Yu Sigui was dressed in sportswear, so dressed up that he could not even recognize himself.
After looking around quietly, I didn't see what kind of objects the opponents around me were going to change.
"Mr Smith,"
She looked at the foreign BMW executive next to her: "Do you know what the "All Japan Costume Awards" means, right?"
The other party nodded: "Mr. Kimura already explained it to me when I was in your company just now."
"Then can you guess what everyone will perform later?"
"No," all three BMWs shook their heads.
"To tell you the truth, Miss Yu, I can't even tell what you are about to perform,"
Smith looked Yu Sigui up and down: "Not to mention them."
Looking at the Dadi team in front of them who were dressed the same way.
Smith found that every pair of them had exactly the same clothes, as well as their hairstyles.
The three BMW executives who had been secretly observing each other before now began to look at the other contestants backstage.
I found that the monsters and monsters in this room were really not as comfortable as looking at Dadi Advertisement.
But according to the purpose of this show, doesn’t it mean that the more you can be a monster, the more exciting it will be?
After a while, when the director came in and called the first trumpet, everyone in the backstage immediately silenced their voices.
All the crowds flocked to a TV hanging on the roof.
Seeing the nervous expressions of Dadi advertisements, the three BMWs also became nervous.
"I'd like to take a closer look,"
Smith, who was exposed to this program for the first time, raised his head and looked at the TV: "What exactly is the "All Japan Costume Awards"."
…
At this time last year, it was because the Japanese government said, "Our people lack imagination, let alone creativity."
Japanese TV station has launched a prize-winning cross-dressing contest to encourage everyone to participate.
Since its launch in 1979, it has become a king as soon as it hits the ground.
Every year there are teams with new faces and new tricks, making this show popular for more than 40 years.
In the eyes of Japanese audiences, the "All Japan Costume Awards" can compete with Japan's Spring Festival Gala "Red and White Song Gala".
Not only that, compared to "Red and White Song Gala" which is only popular in China, "All Japan Costume Awards" is still very popular abroad.
In 2001, after "Super Change" was introduced by Pujiang TV Station, the unpredictable stage dazzled the people.
They all expressed their great love.
…
At this moment, as each player came on and off.
The two foreign executives who had just arrived had their necks raised and were reluctant to let go.
I have never seen anything like this in the world.
"Next No. 22 Dadi Company."
Finally, it was Dadi's turn to take the stage.
The three BMWs, who had watched more than 20 shows before, kept sending them to the side of the stage.
Compared to the previous entries, they will be particularly curious.
What will happen to the team around us?
You can ensure that you take home the million-dollar prize.
Dadi Advertising on the side was trying hard to adjust his breathing.
"Don't be nervous, everyone,"
Yu Sigui, who was nervous, looked at his employees with calm eyes:
“Just perform according to the way we practice on weekdays, we have to believe in ourselves.
I have been practicing for almost two months. As long as everyone relaxes for a while, they will definitely win the big prize. "
At this time, the man in black on the stage was placing props.
At the last moment, Mr. Yu simply gave up.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you win an award or not. Being able to complete the performance is the most important thing."
Seeing Mr. Yu's calm attitude in the face of battle, more than 10 Dadi employees took a deep breath.
After looking at each other, the curtain opened again.
The next second, two female employees dressed exactly the same appeared on the stage with exact movements.
On both sides of the blank wooden frame, corresponding movements were made.
The two of them, one inside and one outside, faced each other and split on both sides of a large frame.
Those on the inside raise their right hands, and those on the outside raise their left hands.
The one on the outside stretches his left leg, and the one on the inside stretches his right leg.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a high school student in sportswear practicing gymnastics in front of a mirror wall.
The perfect coordination of angle, height, and curvature made the audience even see the flaw immediately.
I really thought this was a mirror standing on the stage.
However, the judges sitting in the front row had already taken the lead in opening their mouths and widening their eyes.
Facing the camera, he made a surprised expression.
When the first group of employees perform skillfully.
Another pair of young girls with twin tails also appeared.
"Oh haha."
Yu Sigui and her partner in the "mirror" waved to the previous pair of girls at the same time.
"Oh haha."
After getting the other party's response, the two new people came face to face and wiped the mirror with a yellow rag.
Using this method, some viewers who have not yet understood the intention of the program are reminded again.
The shadow-like internal and external cooperation made the three BMWs hiding behind the curtain dumbfounded.
"My my, with this level, which program can compare with it?"
"After all, it is an advertising company, so the brain is good."
"Not only is the creativity unique, but the coordination is also seamless."
"Well, it can be seen that they have practiced a lot in normal times."
Just as they stared at each other, groups of employees around them came on stage in pairs.
With the smooth opening of the first two groups, the ones who came on later seemed to be smoother.
In the eyes of the audience who were constantly surprised.
The last pair of high school students who came on stage pressed the buttons of two recorders.
Soon, the stage sounded aerobics music.
Five pairs of male and female high school students facing each other were doing aerobics in front of the mirror in athlete's clothes.
The tacitly coordinated gestures and even the rise and fall of props were exactly the same.
As the music kept changing.
The live performance was full of people inside and outside, and it was like a campus practice room was brought to the stage of "Super Change".
Although the show had not yet ended, the judges and the audience in the audience could not help but applaud.
Even the host, Kinichi Hagimoto, who was standing next to him, became lively.
"How is it?"
Kimura, a senior executive hiding on the side, pulled the director and asked, "Do you think this show can win an award?"
"Do you even need to ask that?"
The director looked at the stage with a spark:
"Your show is absolutely a hit, including last year's, and no one can compare. Now, let's see if there are more outstanding ones later."
If not, this show will definitely win.
As soon as the voice fell, the original rhythmic follow-up turned into a burst of applause.
Amid the applause, Doremi Fasola Xiduo--
In a string of familiar electronic music, the score lamp standing next to the stage rushed to the highest point without hesitation.
"Incredible, incredible, incredible, everyone, look at how many points this is?"
The host in a black suit jumped up and down at the lamp post: "Wow~ Full marks!"
The Dadi employees on the stage immediately screamed together, and everyone was shaking Yu Sigui's twin ponytails.
The host who wanted to join in the conversation finally interrupted: "I don't think you are high school students, do you?"
"We are from,"
Yu Sigui, who was as bright as peach blossoms, led everyone to look at the camera together:
"The creative Dadi Advertising Company!"
...
An hour later, the Dadi team collectively stepped onto the stage again.
Under the loud announcement of the judges' representative, they jointly raised a check for a million-dollar prize.
Looking at the giant check hanging above their heads, the employees of Dadi couldn't close their mouths.
Among them, Yu Sigui laughed the most happily.
"Want a gift? Then I'll give you a big gift."
It was a very wonderful moment, and Jiangshan's voice rang in my ears.
Yu Sigui herself had never thought that she, who was usually graceful, would dress up like this and jump around on the stage.
And it was the stage of "Super Change".
It vividly showed the company's corporate culture of accepting both big and small money.
Thinking of this, she looked sideways.
At the same time, the employees of Dadi standing with her.
As if telepathically, they turned sideways and looked at the BMW next to the stage.
The same eyes expressed the same meaning.
The three BMW executives who were also looking at them responded immediately.
The three OKs raised high made Dadi jump again.
It must be said that since meeting Jiangshan.
The ubiquitous "creativity" has set up a fast track for Dadi to attract world brands.
I just don't know if it can successfully win the BMW contract later.
Thinking of this, Yu Sigui remembered that she hadn't found the time to inquire about the other party's specific requirements...
...
Pujiang City, Anhe Street.
Comrade Jiangshan, who was packing his luggage in his room, didn't know about the wonderful things happening far away in Tokyo.
While walking back and forth alone, the TV in the room was never idle.
At this moment, the TV was playing the highlights of the Pujiang Spring Festival Gala.
According to the bad idea agreed in advance.
Every once in a while, Director Gu would cut some of the program insider information and put it on TV.
The purpose is to enable the audience to turn the knob to their Channel 8 on New Year's Eve.
"For victory, fire at me!!!"
After a familiar scene, the TV sounded the interlude "Heroic Hymn" of the movie "Heroic Sons and Daughters".
[The wind and smoke are rolling and singing heroes, and the green mountains on all sides are listening attentively, listening attentively...]
At the same time, the classic scenes in the movie also appeared on the screen.
A female soldier in military uniform and pigtails was singing a song for the soldiers who were aiding Korea on the battlefield.
[Why is the battle flag as beautiful as a painting? The blood of heroes dyed it red;
Why is the earth always in spring? The life of heroes blooms flowers...]
The singing voice gradually drifted away. When Jiangshan looked over, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.
In a recording studio of Pujiang TV Station.
The host was sitting in front of the TV with Liu Chi, the composer of "Heroic Song", and Gong Mu, the lyricist, facing the audience.
At this moment, the topic they talked about was the song "Heroic Song" just now.
This was also the first time that the two behind-the-scenes workers appeared in front of the audience.
The people who saw this kind of program format for the first time all cast curious eyes on the TV.
"That means the actor who sang in the movie,"
the host looked at the other party and said, "is not the real singer?"
Liu Chi and Gong Mu beside him laughed together.
"That's for sure, she is just an actor, and the singing is dubbed by someone else."
"At the beginning, we spent a lot of effort to select the right singer for this song..."
The film "Heroic Sons and Daughters" made the people remember a heroic era.
At the same time, the theme song of the film "Heroic Hymn" became a hit.
The popularity and popularity of this song can be said to be cross-era.
Its influence is no less than that of the film "Heroic Sons and Daughters".
However, in the opening of the movie "Heroic Sons and Daughters", the names of the songwriter and the singer did not appear.
This led to the fact that while "Heroic Hymn" became a household name, its behind-the-scenes members became a mystery.
At this moment, during the description of the two songwriters, another picture appeared on the screen.
Outside a professional recording studio in the film studio, singers selected by various art troupes gathered together.
One by one, young female comrades were holding lyrics in their hands, anxiously walking around outside the venue.
Some of them lowered their heads to familiarize themselves with the lyrics, and some hummed alone...
The one who heard her name quickly stood up and walked into the recording studio.
Following the sight of a young female comrade.
The audience could see that the two comrades Liu Chi and Gong Mu were sitting in the recording studio inside.
"Comrade, if you are ready, you can start singing."
After Liu Chi smiled and signaled, the female comrade in the recording studio began to sing:
"The wind and smoke are rolling, singing heroes, and the green mountains on all sides are listening attentively..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she sang "Heroic Hymn".
Unfortunately, before she could sing a few more sentences, she was stopped by several leaders in front of her.
After that, another young singer came in again.
Facing the singers coming in and out of the studio.
The film director and songwriter of "Heroic Sons and Daughters" were discussing and researching all the time.
Unfortunately, none of the singers who tried out could meet their requirements.
"Next one, please come in."
After a call, the soloist of the Air Force Political Department Art Troupe came in.
"Are you ready? If you can, let's start."
After listening for a whole morning, Comrade Liu Chi had lost his previous energy and spirit.
When he was concentrating on weaving "Heroic Hymn", he told the director of Changchun Film Studio.
As long as the right person is found, this song will definitely be sung with an unstoppable momentum.
But what was unexpected was that this comrade was so hard to find.
The song "Heroic Hymn" can be said to be both a great song and a great composer.
If such a song is left with a flaw in the end because no suitable singer was found.
Then Liu Chi and Gong Mu would definitely feel regretful.
At this moment, the voices of several people in the recording studio became the narration on the screen.
When the audience in front of the TV heard their distress, they also became worried.
The next second:
"The smoke of war is rolling and singing heroes, the green mountains on all sides are listening attentively, listening attentively;
The thunder in the clear sky is beating the golden drums, the waves of the sea are making harmony, and the people's soldiers are driving away tigers and leopards..."
As the sonorous singing in the recording studio sounded.
Liu Chi, Gong Mu, and the director of "Heroic Sons and Daughters" all stood up.
Not only that, the magnificent "Heroic Hymn" on the TV also made the audience in front of the TV sing along.
It was not until then that they knew that the birth of a movie interlude would be so grand.
At this point, what the audience friends wanted to know most was who was the one singing in the recording studio?
She sang so well, so she should be beautiful, right?
Unfortunately, since the female comrade walked into the recording studio.
Her true face has never appeared on the TV screen.
Until the end of the program, it failed to satisfy the curiosity of the audience.
Only a line of subtitles was left at the end: more exciting, please look forward to it.
"Jiang Lao San,"
At this time, Li Ruocheng shouted from outside the window: "Who is singing "Heroic Hymn"?"
"Lao San,"
Jiang Ma's voice also rang at this time: "Who did the director finally choose?"
