Chapter 19 The Blazing Stars Illuminate My Path Through the Long Night

Monday, early morning, Beijing North.

Zhu Yaoqing squeezed out of the subway with sweat all over his head.

Line 1 has no air conditioning, and the electric fan is running until it smokes, but the carriage is still stuffy.

It is hard to imagine that in 2009, the subway in the capital is still so torturous, and you know, the Olympic Games were held last year! .

Zhu Yaoqing is more tired taking the subway than going to work every day.

Keke has no choice, driving is more tiring than taking the subway.

After leaving the subway station, Zhu Yaoqing loosened his collar and walked towards the unit.

As a civil servant in Beijing North, the content he is responsible for in the Propaganda Department is not complicated: mainly contacting people in the literary and artistic circles and organizing several performances every year.

All TV stations, film and television companies, and brokerage companies are all within his contact range.

Basically, no one will refuse the official call unless they really don’t have time.

Even if these performances do not generate any economic benefits, and many of them are even internal performances that do not even have exposure.

On the other hand, being contacted and invited by him just shows that he is doing well in the literary and artistic circle.

However, he recently took over another task, which is to collect commemorative songs for the "60th Anniversary Celebration" from the literary and art circles.

The so-called "Ten Major Events Every Time" is a tradition of the Chinese people. This time the 60th Anniversary Celebration is very powerful and involves all aspects.

On a larger scale, there are military parades, tributes, various main theme movies, and theme activities. On a smaller scale, Zhu Yaoqing's job is one of them.

He is not unfamiliar with this. He also did it last year, but this year's scale is larger.

According to convention, "hero invitations" are widely sent to all walks of life. As for the songs collected from the society in the end, they are not the main part.

The real main part is still the various already famous professional singers and the popular stars provided by the entertainment companies. In addition, the art troupes of various places must also have a place, right?

Although Zhu Yaoqing's position is only a small role in the government, he is a person of some weight in the entertainment industry. It has nothing to do with his own talents, but only with what he represents behind him.

This is not the case. Some time ago, the "big brother" who has extraordinary influence in the world was also called back to record a song. It was Zhu Yaoqing who contacted him.

He added some hot water to the thermos cup, sat in front of the old computer, and began to check the mailbox despite the extreme lag.

Although it is difficult to produce any good works in the social collection, and even few people submit works, as an official activity, it must be handled in time, otherwise it will appear that Zhu Yaoqing is superficial in his work.

There are only seven or eight emails when logging into the collection activity mailbox. Zhu Yaoqing is not surprised. This is normal.

Four of them are asking for information about the event. Zhu Yaoqing simply replied. The remaining three emails are submissions.

He can be responsible for this kind of work, which is not unrelated to his previous study of music. He can recognize the general melody and style by opening the score and scanning it.

"A folk song? What is the other one? Oh, pentatonic tone, Chinese singing style"

According to the submission requirements, both the score and the recording file are required. Zhu Yaoqing listened to half of each and felt that it was not good.

The tune is old, the singing is old, and it is a bit too straightforward.

The lyrics are basically forced to rely on the celebration, neither rhyme nor too explicit.

The level is very average.

Zhu Yaoqing looked at the contributors, and sure enough, one was a well-known mountain song contestant who participated in several programs, and the other was sent by a county-level art troupe in a certain place.

Zhu Yaoqing silently gave a bad answer in his heart.

At this time, the third submitted song caught his attention.

Because in this email, in addition to the score and recording, there was actually a video file.

Zhu Yaoqing curiously clicked on the video and thought: "It can't be an MV, right?".

Contributor: A Rui.

Never heard of it

The four words "Starry Sea" slowly appeared on the screen.

Zhu Yaoqing was a little confused. Looking at the name, it didn't look like a red song submitted to the wrong place?

However, the next scene made him stunned.

It was a black and white photo.

That great man.

The melodious prelude sounded, not the kind of old melody, but an extremely pleasant pop song feeling.

As the extremely catchy female voice sounded, Zhu Yaoqing finally understood why the video used the photo of that great man.

"I want to become a star"

The photo slowly blurred and was replaced by another face, the butler who worked hard all his life.

These are all the stars of the Republic

"Go through the sea of ​​people, don't stop while you still have expectations~"

When the chorus sounded and he saw the photos of those "two bombs and one satellite" heroes and scientists, Zhu Yaoqing's hair stood up!

"Will our love be blown to the sea by the wind~ and never come back!"

This song is looking forward to the future and remembering the ancestors.

Will the efforts of the predecessors and the passionate hearts of the deceased be passed on? Will they illuminate future generations?

Will the hardship they endured under those difficult conditions, and even the suffering of a lifetime, bring happiness to future generations?

The scientists who concealed their names, the soldiers who died heroically, the martyrs who fell before dawn and never had the opportunity to witness the fulfillment of their ideals in their lives

Did they know that their choice was right?

Will their beliefs be blown to the sea by the wind?

This is a clumsy MV.

It is almost just a combination of photos that are readily available on the Internet, spliced ​​together in the form of PPT, and then a fade-in and fade-out effect is added.

But when they appeared with "Starry Sea", Zhu Yaoqing felt a tremor along his spine to his forehead.

The melodious female voice, the timbre is the best he has ever seen.

"Will our love, like the stars guarding the sea~"

"I run to you, you are the stars and the sea~"

"The blazing stars in my eyes, light me up in the long night~"

Great! Great!

He jumped up like a child who found a treasure, attracting strange looks from colleagues around him.

Zhu Yaoqing ignored everything else, quickly took out the USB flash drive, copied the song file into it, and then went to find the leader in a hurry.

He wanted this song! To spread all over the country!

_________________

On Monday, Han Ziyin clearly felt that Zhou Rui was different.

He was much more tired than last week.

His lips were chapped, his voice was hoarse, and his face was sleepy.

It was as if

he had been calling all night.

Han Ziyin, who didn't know Zhou Rui's whereabouts over the weekend, was very curious.

Before class, Han Ziyin took out an unopened bottle of "Queer Juice" from her schoolbag and secretly passed it to Zhou Rui from below.

Zhou Rui took it and took a sip using the book to cover his mouth.

"Ah, thank you."

His voice was still a little hoarse.

When recording yesterday, he sang a lot to guide Li Wenqian, and he ate the high-fat and high-salt hard dishes from the big restaurant.

He didn't feel anything on the day, but he found out that his voice was hoarse when he woke up in the morning.

His vocal talent is really not that good. Look at Li Wenqian, who sang more than him, and she was fine today.

Zhou Rui wondered if "Starry Sea" had been seen. Would it be blown to the sea by the wind?

But on second thought, he still had confidence in this song.

First, the theme and intention of this song are highly consistent, and it is itself a "red song" in the previous life.

Second, the quality and catchiness of the original song would definitely be super powerful in 2009. That was a song that came out in the era of short videos! What matters is an instant catchy sound!

Third, Li Wenqian's singing also adds a lot of points.

At least she should be noticed.

As for now, it is more important to go to class first.

It's just right to try the power of the [Focus] entry!

Zhou Rui closed his eyes slightly and put a little concentration in his mind.

Turn on [Focus Time] for one hour! The concentration reserve also became (2/3)

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Rui felt that the whole world seemed a little different

All kinds of feelings are strange, just like staring at something for a long time, you will feel dazed about other things.

Zhou Rui feels like this now. He can easily focus his attention on something, a thought, or even a person.

But when he chooses a target, he will have a hazy feeling about other things, as if there is a layer of gauze between them.

It seems that his spiritual consciousness was originally evenly distributed, and when he becomes a [Focus], his spiritual consciousness will be gathered together, and other places will naturally become less.

It seems that [Focus Time] has a side effect that reduces the perception and reaction to minor things.

It's quite reasonable.

But in this case, you should be careful when using [Focus Time]. Don't be too "focused" on something and ignore the dangers of the environment.

For example, being sent to another world by a dump truck.

By applying concentration in class, Zhou Rui clearly felt that his mind was more agile, he absorbed knowledge faster, and it was almost impossible for him to be distracted, and he would automatically ignore some minor physical conditions.

For example, minor problems such as itching, dry mouth and tongue would not affect him at all.

In the past, he could only understand 30%, but now with [Focus Time], it has soared to 60%!

Don't underestimate this improvement. An adult can understand more than half of the content of a senior high school class. If he didn't fail, can you dare to imagine it?

Give him some more time, wouldn't he be able to reach the sky?

Unfortunately, after the first class, Zhou Rui had no time to check how much experience he had gained.

Huang Dewei's words made his back cold.

"Starting tomorrow, each subject will have an in-class test. Remember to bring a 2B pencil to fill in the answer sheet."

Zhou Rui felt a tremor from the coccyx to the forehead!

It's over! BBQ!

Beijing-North Line 1 was built and planned the earliest, so it didn't have air conditioning until modern times.

It was gradually replaced in 2007, but I remember that when I went there in 2010, I was still sitting in a car with a big fan, the kind that blew in my face, which was quite interesting.
