His interpretation enables a better understanding of China and Beijing Olympic Games for the people home and abroad. Mr. Zong, a legendary leader of Asian pop music, brings hopes and imagination to us by his majestic song, wisdom lyrics and perpetual melody. Come on! Let’s begin our magical travel together with Mr.Zong. Let’s appreciate the sincere greetings from China.
The lyrics of Welcome to Beijing are composed by Lin xi and the music is by Xiao ke. Both of them are big-shots in China. But the song is not written overnight. Lin xi is famous as his lyrics which describes the thought of women, while Welcome to Beijing is in different style. “I have to give up rhetoric methods which I have used for over 20 years to compose the magnificent words.” He said. Xiao ke uses the traditional Five-tone Mode to express the national characteristics. He said, “I listened again and again to the 6 versions which I composed for this song until get the final version.” And “welcome to Beijing” is not in the lyrics at the first beginning of composition, “But it is come out unconsciousness. It becomes the simplest ways to express the real feeling of Chinese people.”
A hundred Chinese stars come together from all over the world with the same affection for Olympics to perform this unique song. Obviously, it is not an easy job to call all the super stars together. There is a very organization in the working team of this song to in charge of calling all these stars. All of them all went to the record site on time right after the receiving of the calls without saying anything else. Liu huan was on business in America when he got the call. He said without any hesitation, “I must attend the big event. I will ask for leave at once.”
Finally the working team of the song assembled all the stars with the help of the internet, “The list was e-mailed again and again each day. It was confirmed after 7 weeks at last.” Many stars canceled the commercial show and came to Beijing paid by themselves. A lot of stars who were not included the invited list called the working team for attending the performance. They even said they could do anything in the working team if there is no enough place for the singer.
This song is not recorded at the same time and same place. The recording work is finished in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and New York. And the background sights in the MV are all from the scenic spots of historical significance in Beijing.
Singer is the soul of a song. It is quite a problem for the big capacity of 100 souls. Should we express the different characteristics of each singer or stick to the theme of this song? The answer is obvious, i.e. we should make every singer to perform their own. So you can easily recognize everyone in the song by listening to their voices.
Every singer sung the song with great pleasure even only with one or two sentences. The recording work of the hundred singers was finished within two weeks. The post production of the song was finished in six days. It is a representation of the great love for Olympics and their motherland.
