On the same day.
Thus, the news leaked out.
"Olympic Opening Ceremony Song Confirmed!"
"Zhang Ye to play the opening theme song!"
"With the unanimous approval of the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, Zhang Ye's lyrics and music will be used!"
"Zhang Ye replaces Jiang Hanwei and Shu Han for the opening ceremony!"
"The Olympic Committee has confirmed the authenticity of this news!"
After the netizens saw it, they expressed their disbelief!
"Teacher Zhang?"
"Holy sh * t, no way!"
"How could it be him!"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either. It can't be him!"
"I have a friend at the Olympic Committee. I heard that this matter has already been confirmed. The higher-ups have held a meeting and decided that Teacher Zhang Ye's song will be sung by him!"
"Pfft, but who doesn't know about his relationship with the sports world?"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye will be taking part in the opening ceremony? This was too ironic. Would those people from the sporting world agree? I was still thinking that even if this cake landed on someone else's head, it couldn't possibly land on Zhang Ye's head. That scolding battle between him and the sporting world at the end of the year was so intense that it was rare to see a scolding battle of this scale in the history of the entertainment industry! What the heck, what kind of song did Teacher Zhang come up with to move the Olympic Committee? "
"Who knows!"
"It's really going to be lively this time!"
"Yeah, there's a good show to watch, hahahaha!"
"I think Zhang Ye is quite suitable!"
"Why?"
"Because Go is generally considered a sport, right? Teacher Zhang is now the best Go player in the world, and he can even sing, so it's very normal for him to go! "
"Uh, that makes sense."
"Is Professor Zhang in full screen domination mode again?"
Immediately, some of the athletes who had previously quarreled with Zhang Ye expressed their protests!
The head coach of the table tennis team angrily posted on Weibo: "How can they use such a person who doesn't respect sports to sing the opening song? This is simply incomprehensible! "
A table tennis player: "Unacceptable!"
A badminton player said, "Zhang Ye will be singing on behalf of the country? Are you kidding me?! "
However, the head coach of the table tennis team deleted the Weibo post that he had just posted. He did not know what the Olympic Organizing Committee had said.
They couldn't be blamed for being shocked!
Even Zhang Ye's friends and family found it hard to believe!
His mother had rushed over with a call!
"Little Ye!"
"Mom."
"You've won the Olympic opening song?"
"Hehe, yes."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Wow, that's great! You are my good son! "
"That's why I'm going to be busy during this period. I don't think I'll be able to go home."
"I'm fine! Don't worry! Hurry up and arrange the music and rehearse. Don't go home! I must sing well at the opening ceremony! This is a world-class stage! "
"I understand."
Ning Lan also called in astonishment!
"Ning Jie."
"Zhang 'er, are you for real?"
"The Olympic theme song? Really. "
"How did you do it?"
"They ran out of songs, so they came to me."
"We even need you to sing?"
"Yeah, maybe my personal charm moved them, ha."
"What kind of charisma do you have? Oh right, my new movie is going to be released soon. Help me advertise it on your Weibo."
"No problem."
Chen Guang's call:
"What song is that?"
"Haha, this must be kept a secret."
"You are too ruthless. Jiang Hanwei will probably hate you to death!"
"You make it sound like he didn't hate me before."
"I'm still in a daze right now. How could it be you!"
His friends were calling him one after another. While everyone was in disbelief, they were also happy for Zhang Ye. This was because everyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A chance to sing at their country's Olympic opening ceremony was something that probably wouldn't come by even once in a few decades. Even the Heavenly Kings and Queens did not manage to get selected, and even Jiang Hanwei, who had a lot of connections in the industry, was ultimately not chosen. You could imagine how intense the competition would be. This was not something that could be achieved just by having a lot of connections and popularity.
The Go War!
The mathematical conjecture!
King of Masked Singers!
Without a doubt, it was these three battles that pushed Zhang Ye to this position!
If Zhang Ye didn't know how to write songs, if he didn't use his amazing singing skills to win King of Masked Singers, if he didn't show his face in the war between humans and machines, if Dale's Conjecture was not just announced and confirmed by Zhang Ye, making him famous all over the world, then the opportunity to sing the opening ceremony's theme song would definitely not have gone to him. All of these three factors were indispensable. It was precisely because of the reputation that Zhang Ye had built up over the past few months that the Olympic Committee finally decided to choose him!
Perhaps this was what luck was all about!
This was also what Zhang Ye had been accumulating all this while!
The Olympic opening ceremony. Without a doubt, this would be the biggest stage that Zhang Ye had ever performed on. Although he only had the chance to sing one song, it was enough. This was a chance to show his face to the entire world!
…
Later that afternoon.
At the studio.
Zhang Ye was alone in his office, going through some information. He was currently choosing a partner to sing with him on the Olympic stage. In his previous world, Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman's version of "You and Me" was simply too amazing. Although Zhang Ye's singing style was not quite the same as Teacher Liu Huan's, he was still more inclined to find a foreign female singer to perform it for him. Moreover, it just so happened that they could bring out the charm of the song to its fullest. But the problem was that Zhang Ye didn't know anyone, nor did he know who to look for!
Joss?
Jasmine?
These were all rather famous female singers in the world!
But after some thought, Zhang Ye shook his head and rejected the idea. Of the two of them, one had an unclear attitude towards the Chinese, while the other was more of an oddity and was rumored to be difficult to get along with. International celebrities like them would definitely have to be avoided. No matter how popular they were, Zhang Ye wouldn't dare to invite them. Safety first had to be his top priority. His ideal candidate was someone who had an attitude towards the Chinese, followed by popularity and singing skills. In this day and age, it wasn't easy to find an international celebrity who had a friendly attitude towards the Chinese.
Who should he look for?
Who was the most suitable candidate?
After searching for a long time, a name finally appeared before Zhang Ye's eyes.
The office door opened.
Ha Qiqi hurriedly said, "Director Zhang, the Olympic Organizing Committee is rushing us again."
Zhang Zuo also stood up and said, "They've already called three times to ask if you've decided on a candidate. We're about to start rehearsals, so we're racing against time! "
Zhang Ye smiled. "We've already decided on a candidate."
Ha Qiqi blinked. "Who is it?"
Everyone looked over!
Zhang Ye calmly said, "Lillian."
Everyone was stunned!
"What?"
"What?"
"Who did you say?"
Zhang Ye repeated, "I said, Lillian."
Ha Qiqi gave a dry laugh and said, "Director Zhang, are you joking with us?"
Zhang Ye said nervously, "I'm not joking."
Zhang Zuo was dumbfounded. "Which Lillian?"
"The most famous Lillian in the world," Zhang Ye said.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What's the matter? Is there a problem? "
Little Wang wiped her sweat away. "H-Can we even invite her?"
Wu Yi said, "The big shot you're talking about is too big!"
Zhang Zuo could only smile wryly. "It's not as simple as that. This is simply … the person you're talking about is an international superstar who's ranked in the top 20 in the world! "
Everyone felt that Director Zhang was being too bold!
But Zhang Ye's next words made it impossible for anyone to refute him. "It's not like we're the ones spending money to invite her. There's still the Olympic Organizing Committee. Let them invite her and spend their money. What's there for us to worry about! "
Everyone felt a little light-headed!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "That's it then. Let's make the call!"
Ha Qiqi could only acknowledge him and turn around to call the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.
As expected, when the people from the Olympic Organizing Committee heard that, they had the exact same reaction as them!
The people from the Olympic Organizing Committee said, "Who are you talking about?"
Ha Qiqi said, "Director Zhang said that he would like to invite Lillian."
The people from the Olympic Organizing Committee nearly vomited blood!
Lillian?
Fuck!
You're fucking throwing all caution to the wind here!
