Zhou Bichang's great fortune
Zhou Bichang has an indissoluble relationship with sports events. In 2008, Zhou Bichang sang the Beijing Olympic Games, sang the Olympic song "Dreams in Sight" and participated in the singing of the popular Theme Song of the Beijing Olympic Games "Welcome to Beijing". At the 2011 Shenzhen Universiade, she served as a volunteer ambassador and made a final appearance at the opening ceremony of the Shenzhen Universiade, singing "The World is Different", when the night in Shenzhen was lit up by dreams from all over the world. When the Universiade is settled in Chengdu, a dream relay of global college athletes is about to start in Chengdu.
The song "Sweat like a star shines every time you grow up" in "Living out Our Dreams" is not a true portrayal of Zhou Bichang's realization of his musical dreams. From dreaming to realizing dreams, from the Shenzhen Universiade to the Chengdu Universiade, ten years at a time, Zhou Bichang said: "In the past ten years, I have been trying different musical styles, and everyone can see my changes, which is actually a kind of growth. ”
Zhou Bichang's international sports theme promotion song is powerful and inspiring, she said: "These songs are not only for athletes, but also for everyone who struggles on the road of dreams. In her opinion, "Living out Our Dreams" has been talking about dreams since the beginning of the song title, the Chengdu Universiade is injecting vitality into the city of Chengdu, and the people chasing dreams here are "measuring step by step, dreams are higher than the sky", as she sang in "Dreams in Sight" in 2008, "Every drop of sweat turns the arena into romance".
Zheng Qiyuan's Chengdu edge
Another singer of the song, Zheng Qiyuan, has a long history of fate with Chengdu.
Zheng Qiyuan has a "heavenly voice", a thick voice, full of layers, and his singing of "Someday" has been included in the music textbook and has become a classic song for the professional examination of musical theater. In 2005, Zheng Qiyuan starred in China's first original musical "Golden Sands". That year, the sun god bird became a symbol of China's cultural heritage, embroidered with the sun god bird Shu embroidery works flew into space, the musical "Jinsha" customized for the Jinsha site fire, in Chengdu and Chongqing more than 120 performances, Zheng Qiyuan as the male protagonist of this drama also took this opportunity to start from Chengdu and go to the public vision.
After 16 years, the Universiade once again connected zheng qiyuan's Chengdu edge. He recalled the situation 16 years ago, and he was deeply impressed by the leisurely ease of Chengdu. When Living out Our Dreams composer Kim Peida invited him to sing the song, he agreed without hesitation. He said: "I am finally excited to have the opportunity to go to Chengdu again, and I want to see the changes in Chengdu with this very much anticipation." ”
Having lived in Chengdu for nearly a year, Zheng Qiyuan has a sense of affinity for the city, saying: "I think this city seems to have an innate artistic atmosphere. The strong historical and cultural atmosphere, such as ancient buildings and Sichuan opera, can give a lot of musical inspiration to musicians living here. ”
Speaking about the Chengdu Universiade, Zheng Qiyuan said: "College students are at an age that loves to dream, and realizing their dreams is a happy and lucky thing. The style and title of this song are completely in line with the slogan of the Chengdu Universiade, "Chengdu Achieves Dreams", and have a kind of moving power, so I believe that college students and young people will have the courage to fight, to create, and to create the future after hearing this song. ”
The meteor that sets off monstrous waves in the middle of the sea becomes a mark of the times. "Flying man" Liu Xiang began to go to the arena of the world from the Universiade, and the "Diving Queen" Guo Jingjing has participated in three consecutive Universiade, starting her own diving era from the Universiade... Many sports stars in the world are a blockbuster in the Universiade, and now the rising "stars of tomorrow" are looking forward to playing in Chengdu, riding the wind and waves, shining brightly.
