The moment we came out of the swim, we found that this was a paradise on earth

The songwriter of the theme song of the World Tour Is ying Hao.

A song that will dominate the Hangzhou World Tour was freshly baked yesterday, which is the theme song of the World Tour, "Out of the Swim".

The songwriter is Composer Ying Hao, a veteran musician in Hangzhou. Another of his proud works is the Hangzhou song "Dream Paradise". At the same time as the theme song was released yesterday, Ying Hao also told reporters about the interesting things in the process of creating this theme song and MV.

"The moment we came out of the swim, we found that this was a paradise on earth."

This lyric is Ying Hao's most satisfactory sentence, which not only shows the dedication and competition spirit of the athletes, but also reflects the hangzhou where the event is held, which is in line with the theme of the World Tour, and is very "Hangzhou flavor". Surprisingly, Ying Hao said the words were inspired by the Rio Olympics two years ago.

"At that time, the media spread a lot of news about Fu Yuanhui, and I thought it was very interesting after reading it, and I had a deep impression in my mind. I'm wondering where the song is going from? The phrase "I swim forward with all the power of the flood" comes out first, and then expands. Ying Hao said that although it has been more than two years since the Rio Olympics, many details he has vaguely remembered, but he remembers this matter clearly, and it was also at that time that he received the task of writing the theme song of the World Tour. Didn't know where to start at first? Fu Yuanhui's phrase "the power of the flood" gave him inspiration, and with that sentence as a breakthrough, he found the approximate structure and form of the song.

It is worth mentioning that the English version of "Out of the Swim" is called "Cherishing Friendship", which was completed by Ying Hao to a Dutch friend who has formed a band and is passionate about music creation.

Immediately after the creation of the theme song of "Out of the Swim", there is also the MV of this song. This MV lasts about 2 minutes and 40 seconds, which has a picture of the swimmers' courageous forward spirit, and selects the characteristic beauty of Hangzhou such as Beishan Street, Yanggong Causeway, Changqiao Park, leifeng Pagoda and so on. Ying Hao told reporters that the theme of the MV creation is to let everyone know that Hangzhou is a beautiful city, let everyone know that the event is held in Hangzhou, and invite everyone to come to Hangzhou to participate.

According to Ying Hao, the production of the MV began in November this year, from the film framing and editing to meeting with everyone, which took more than a month. Two of the biggest difficulties encountered in the creation: one is the weather, and the other is underwater shooting.

"After the winter in Hangzhou, there are more rainy days, the visibility is low, we have been waiting for a sunny day, and finally waited for a sunny day on a certain day, and then the weather was OK for two or three consecutive days, and finally finished shooting." Underwater shooting involves the conditions of the pool. Chen Jinglun Sports School is very cooperative, the young man selected soaked in the water for 12 hours, one will be in the water, one will be underwater, to change the lens, it is not easy to light. The swimmer Ying Hao said was Shen Lei, a physical education teacher at Hangzhou Dianzi University. He used to practice swimming, and during the 12 hours of shooting, he only rested during meals.
