At the beginning of Snowflake, hundreds of children danced and played freely in the Bird's Nest with props lights shaped like doves of peace. A song of Snowflake sung by children was melodious, clear and naive.
This is the theme song of this Winter Olympics. The Birth of Snowflakes tells a story about China's cultural self-confidence.
The theme song has been decided.
In March, 20021year, Zhao Lin, the music director of the opening ceremony, sent a creative invitation to more than 30 composers. Lin conveyed the idea of director Zhang Yimou and gave three key words: a snowflake, the unity of human destiny and the unity of the world. The music style is as long as possible and has a sense of rhythm.
During the period when composers constantly polished their works according to suggestions, "the expression of songs has changed." At first, I thought about letting big-name stars sing, and I also thought about having some contact with you in 2008.
However, Zhao Lin increasingly feels that this road will not work. "The' people's nature' of the opening ceremony is constantly increasing." The creative team has repeatedly tried to figure out the profound meaning of the theme slogan "Together for the future" of the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, and the "future" is pinned on children.
"Snowflake", officially recognized as the theme song of 202 1 and 10, is the first song sample received by Zhao Lin. According to the order of receipt, the number is 1.
"Among so many works, it is very distinctive and fresh, and the rhythm takes three times as long, which is rare in various large-scale activities." Zhao Lin said. Snowflake, presented at the end of the opening ceremony, is catchy, with six Chinese lyrics and six English lyrics, which are simple and clear, with far-reaching implications and quite a taste of "simple road".
"The less simple things, the more skills are tested; The more lively things are, the less likely they are to make mistakes. " Zhao Lin can foresee that there may be different voices about Snowflake, but he always hopes to surpass everyone's inherent expectations. "As long as you keep it right, there will be no problem, but as long as you keep it right, you can't innovate. Innovation is to break through those levels that we have been good at and will definitely not make mistakes. "
