"Everyone was singing, the truth was revealed, and many people were so excited that they wiped their tears. This is an incomparable performance, looking back at the centennial journey of the Communist Party of China, both on and off the stage are moved. Liao Changyong, president of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, said that the theatrical performance "The Great Journey" held at the Bird's Nest to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China was the most grand performance he had ever participated in, "bringing unprecedented spiritual shock." ”
On "The Great Journey", singers Liao Changyong, Wei Song, Yin Xiumei and Yi Hong appeared in the finale, leading the newly created theme song "Pilot", driving the chorus of all the actors. The huge golden party emblem rises solemnly, radiant, red flags flaunt in the wind, and fireworks light up the night sky.
From rehearsal to performance, there are many scenes that Liao Changyong will never forget. One day, when the weather was in the air, it was pouring heavy rain, and just as the program of earthquake relief after the Wenchuan earthquake was rehearsed, the dancers rushed to the stage one by one shirtless. "My tears flowed down my face, and this scene reminded me of the bravery of the soldiers in the face of war and danger, resolutely and without the slightest hesitation."
Between rehearsals, Liao Changyong listened most to the theme song "Pilot" in the various lounges in the background. Everyone is practicing over and over again, reminiscing over and over again. "The performance has been prepared for a long time, the cast and crew have added up to tens of thousands of people, which is a test of the cooperation of all links in front of the stage and behind the scenes, can not make a mistake, everyone has come up with a hundred times, a thousand times the enthusiasm, ignited the scene, remarkable! I'm honored and proud to be a part of it. ”
In order to participate in the performance, the 67-year-old tenor Wei Song pushed off many performances and spent 21 days in Beijing, eating and living with the actors. "It's all worth it! I feel infinitely honored to be able to sing such a song on the centenary of the Communist Party of China in this lifetime, and all my emotions are pinned on the song. ”
In this newly created "Pilot", Wei Song's favorite sentence is: The great Communist Party of China, the wind is flourishing, the mountains are high and the water is long. "This song is warm, high, shocking, the lyrics are well written, the melody is catchy, you will not forget it after listening to it, I believe it will be sung by the people."
