Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Monday, early morning, north of Beijing. new

Zhu Yaoqing squeezed out of the subway, sweating profusely.

There is no air conditioning on Line 1, the electric fan is spinning so fast that it makes smoke, and the carriage is still stuffy.

It’s hard to imagine that Du 2 is still so torturous, considering the Olympics were held last year! .

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

There is nothing Keke can do, 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 northern Beijing, his responsibilities in the Propaganda Department are not complicated: he mainly contacts people in the literary and artistic circles and puts on several performances every year.

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

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

Even if these performances do not produce any economic benefits, 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 you are doing well in the literary and art circles.

But recently he has taken on another task, which is to collect commemorative songs for the "Sixty Years of Daqing" from the literary and art circles.

The so-called "holding events for every ten major events" is a Chinese tradition. This 60th Anniversary Celebration is extremely intensive and involves all aspects.

On a large scale, there are military parades, tributes, various theme movies, and themed activities. On a small scale, Zhu Yaoqing's job is also one of them.

He's no stranger to this, he did it last year too, just on a bigger scale this year.

According to the usual practice, "hero posts" are distributed to all walks of life. As for the songs collected from the public in the end, they are actually not the top ones.

The real bosses are the famous professional singers and the popular stars provided by the entertainment companies. In addition, cultural troupes from various places must also have a place, right?

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

No, some time ago, "Big Brother", who has extraordinary influence around the world, was also called back to record a song, and it was Zhu Yaoqing who contacted him. new

He refilled the thermos with some hot water, sat in front of the old computer, and began to browse through the mailbox despite the extreme lag.

Although it is difficult to produce any good works from social solicitation, and there are even few submissions, as an official event, it still needs to be handled in a timely manner, otherwise it will appear that Zhu Yaoqing is acting superficially.

When he logged into the collection mailbox, there were only seven or eight emails. Zhu Yaoqing was not surprised. This was normal.

Four of them were asking for event information, and Zhu Yaoqing gave a brief reply. The remaining three emails were for submissions.

His ability to be responsible for this kind of work has something to do with his previous music studies. Opening the music score and scanning it, you can identify the general melody and style.

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

According to the submission requirements, music scores and recording files were required. Zhu Yaoqing listened to half of each and felt that it was not good.

The tunes are old, the singing is old, and a little too straightforward.

The lyrics are basically about celebrations, they don't rhyme and are too explicit.

The level is very average.

Zhu Yaoqing took a look at the contributors. Sure enough, one was a well-known folk singer contestant who had participated in several programs, and the other was from a county-level art troupe.

Zhu Yaoqing silently made a mistake 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 is actually a video file.

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

Contributor: Ari.

never heard of that

Four words "Sea of ​​Stars" slowly appeared on the screen.

Zhu Yaoqing was a little confused. The name didn't sound like Hongge had voted in the wrong place?

However, the next scene stunned him.

It was a black and white photo.

That great man.

The melodious prelude sounded, not that old melody, but an extremely pleasant pop song feel.

As the extremely scratchy female voice sounded, Zhu Yaoqing realized why the video used the photo of that great man.

"I want to become a star"

The photo slowly faded and was replaced by another face, that of the great butler who had worked hard all his life.

These are the stars of the Republic

“Cross the sea of ​​people, don’t stop while you still have something to look forward to~”

And when the chorus sounded and he saw the photos of those pioneer scientists who had "two bombs and one satellite", Zhu Yaoqing's hair stood up!

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

This song looks forward to the future and remembers the ancestors.

Will the efforts of our predecessors and the fiery hearts of those who passed away be passed down? Will it illuminate future generations?

Will the hardships they endured under those difficult conditions, and even their lifetime of suffering, make future generations happy?

Scientists who remain anonymous, soldiers who sacrificed their lives heroically, martyrs who fell before dawn, who never had the chance to witness the fulfillment of their ideals.

Did they ever know that their choice was right?

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

This is a poor MV.

It's almost just a matter of stitching together photos that are readily available on the Internet in the form of PPT, and then adding a fade-in and fade-out effect.

But when they appeared together with "Sea of ​​Stars", Zhu Yaoqing felt a tremor along his spine and up to his forehead.

The melodious female voice's timbre was the best he had ever seen in his life.

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

"I am here like you, and you are like the stars in the sea~"

"The blazing stars in my eyes illuminate my path through the long night~"

marvelous! marvelous!

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

Regardless of anything else, Zhu Yaoqing quickly took out the USB flash drive, copied the song files into it, and then hurriedly went to find the leader.

He wants to make this song! Spread all over the country!

_______________

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

Much more tired than last week.

The lips are chapped, the voice is hoarse, and the face is sleepy.

It's just like

The same thing happened all night long.

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 handed it to Zhou Rui from below.

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

"Ah thank you"

The voice is still a little hoarse.

During the recording yesterday, he sang a lot in order to guide Li Wenqian, and he ate hard dishes high in oil and salt from big restaurants.

He didn't feel anything wrong that day. When he woke up in the morning, he realized that his voice was hoarse.

The talent of this voice is really not that good. Look at Li Wenqian, she has sung more than him, and today she is just like a normal person.

Zhou Rui wondered if "The Stars and the Sea" had been seen, would it have been blown to the sea by the wind?

But after thinking about it, he still had confidence in this song.

First, the title and purpose of this song are highly consistent with each other, and it is itself a "red song" from the previous life.

The two, the quality and ear-catching degree of the original song, and the level of performance, it is a song that was created in the short video era! What matters is a moment of ear-catching!

The three of them and Li Wenqian's singing also scored a lot of points.

It should at least be noticed.

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

It’s time to give the power of the [Focused Person] entry a try!

Closing his eyes slightly, Zhou Rui focused a little on his mind.

Turn on [Focus Time] for one hour! The concentration stock has also become (2/3)

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

The feeling is very strange, as if after staring at something for a long time, other things will feel trance-like.

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

But after he selects a target, other things will have a hazy feeling, as if they are separated by a layer of veil.

It seems that his spiritual consciousness was originally evenly distributed, but when he became a [concentrated person], his spiritual consciousness would be gathered together, and there would naturally be less in other places.

It seems that [Concentration Time] also has a side effect of reducing the perception and response to secondary things.

That's quite reasonable

But from this point of view, you need to pay attention to the use of [Focus Time]. Don't be too "focused" on something in your mind and ignore the dangers of the environment.

For example, being sent to another world by a dump truck or something like that

By applying concentration in class, Zhou Rui clearly feels that his thinking is sharper and he absorbs knowledge faster. It is almost impossible for his mind to wander and he will automatically ignore some minor physical conditions.

Small problems such as an itchiness or a dry mouth will not affect him at all.

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

Don't underestimate this improvement. An adult can understand most of the contents of the senior high school class. If he fails, do you dare to think?

If you give him some more time, wouldn't he go straight to heaven?

Unfortunately, after the first class, Zhou Rui didn't have time to check how much experience he had gained.

Huang Dewei's words sent shivers down his spine.

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

Zhou Rui felt a tremor go from his tailbone to his forehead!

It’s over! BBQ is over!

"Beijing North" Line 1 was built and planned the earliest, so it did not have air conditioning until modern times.

It was only gradually replaced in 2007, but I remember that when I went to play in 2010, I still rode in the big fan car, which was very interesting.
