The MV of "Peace, The World" was launched
"Light a candle, send off the departed every day, be grateful for love, be grateful for you, and be grateful for the peace of the people who accompany you." Accompanied by a gentle melody, Zhang Mai's ethereal and gentle song sounded. This is a new song called "Peace, the World", in the past three days, Zhang Mai, a well-known military singer from Chongqing and chief cultural officer of Upstream News, and his friends, famous director Jia Ding, and famous musician He Qi have been busy with it, in order today (April 7) World Health Day, as a special gift to the public and singers to fight the epidemic.
Zhang Mai in the "Peace, The World" MV shooting
"Full of short and flat fast." In an interview with the upstream news Chongqing Morning News reporter yesterday, Zhang Mai described "Peace, the World" in this way. Zhang Mai said that the song only took 72 hours from the beginning of the idea to now see the MV.
Judging from the lyrics alone, zhang Mai's "Peace, The World" brought this time is not very long. In addition to the warmth, the sense of picture depicted in the lyrics can also be said to be overwhelming. "The kiss on the pillow became deep and solemn, and the night with dreams turned out to be so precious." It seems to bring everyone back to the ordinary life scene of peace and tranquility before the epidemic, but immediately after that, the lyrics of the "painting style" turned, and the life after the epidemic changed seemed to be put back in front of everyone's eyes: "Hurry to wake up again, the world suddenly has less smiles, and the lonely street is waiting for a familiar figure." ”
It is not an exaggeration to describe this song "Peace, the Whole World" as "famous". In addition to Zhang Mai singing, its lyricist is Jia Ding, a well-known large-scale event director and lyricist in China, and the composer is a well-known musician He Qi. The popularity of Jia Ding in the circle can be said to be needless to say. As a well-known director of large-scale events, the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2015 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Beijing, the opening ceremony of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, the Tiananmen Square Gala celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China are all from jia Ding's hand.
As music director and music coordinator, well-known musician He Qi has also participated in large-scale activities such as the Tiananmen Square Fireworks Evening for the 60th Anniversary of the National Day in 2009, the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2015 World Athletics Championships, the 2017 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and the Liangshan Branch of the Lantern Party. Everyone is familiar with the opening ending song of the TV series "Negotiator" starring Yang Mi, and the arrangement of the ending song of the TV series "Fu Shao".
Zhang Mai said that "Peace, the Whole World" conveys to everyone gratitude and awe
"The origin of 'Ping An, the World' is definitely the background of the current fight against the epidemic in China and even the world." Zhang Mai said that after he mentioned on the phone a few days ago that he wanted to do something to fight the epidemic, he quickly hit it off with the director of Jia Ding, who was also from the military. "It took us only 24 hours to go from having an idea to composing lyrics to finalizing the melody." Zhang Mai said that it was followed by the recording and MV live-action shooting, and finally a day of post-processing. "'Peace, the World' took only 72 hours to go online, which is completely short and fast."
As we all know, various anti-epidemic songs, MVs and other literary and artistic works are already emerging in an endless stream at present, so the songwriter Director Jia Ding also has his own special considerations when filling in the words. Jia Ding said that the anti-epidemic songs that have emerged at present all have their own entry points, so when he chose the angle and level of expression for the words "Peace, The World", he chose the entry point of life and human nature, and the melody was determined to be gentle. Zhang Mai said, "At the same time, this time "Peace, The World" also specially designed a gesture, the meaning of unity, strength and love. ”
In addition, the actual shooting of the MV is also a big test for the production team. "The first is the tight time, followed by the changeable weather and the selection of scenery. Fortunately, everyone is good at fighting hard battles and likes to 'toss' people. ”

As the lyrics of "Peace, the Whole World" end: "Want to see, want to hear, and be happy to regenerate the world." Light candles, soothe life with bright colors, and be at peace Every day, peace people all over the world. Zhang Mai said that the voice that he and the main creative team such as Jia Ding and He Qi most want to convey to everyone through this song is that "while we recall the lost life, we are more grateful and in awe, and look forward to a better future for mankind." It is particularly worth mentioning that the launch of this warm new song on April 7 also has deep meaning, which coincides with "World Health Day", and this day is of great significance to the physical and mental health of all mankind during the special period of the global fight against the epidemic.
"Peace, the World"
Lyricist: Adine
Composer: He Qi
Singer: Zhang Mai
Light a candle to send off the departed every day,
Gratitude has love, gratitude has you, gratitude for the peace of the people who accompany you.
Breathing softly in peace,
The flowers outside the window bloomed as promised,
The kiss on the pillow becomes deep and solemn,
A night with a dream turned out to be so precious.
Hurriedly woke up again,
The world suddenly has less smiles,
Lonely streets waiting for familiar figures,
Want to see Want to hear, happy to make the world reborn.
Light candles, comfort life with bright colors,
Peace Every day, peace people all over the world.
