FROM WANG JIU'S BLOG
(He wrote the lyrics to Guo Jia, Shengsi Buli, Stand Up, and others)

"World" has been officially set as the Shanghai World Expo volunteer theme song

It is too busy these past few days, even the chance to catch a breather, no. Many of my friends congratulated me, "world" has been officially set at the Shanghai World Expo volunteer theme song, I also do not have time to thank everyone for their support. Because of this Shanghai trip, work very full, in addition to the theme song released to participate in the ceremony, the Liberation Daily of the forum, the work of the opening ceremony of the Expo will be, the Chinese elements in the work of Council, working most of the day, nearly 10 committees, and these associations are need a result, all need to find ways to solve the problem, all practical and highly effective. Perhaps it is these results sustains me, the day down, the back is rigid, easily a lie do not want to move, do not want to speak, can still change his mind, still recall the content of today, there are no problems or a better way.

In fact, this situation is to copy my sprint time of the Beijing Olympics two years ago, only difference lies in the Expo. I was lucky, be able to catch up with these two international and affect China's future activities, he is still the forefront of the implementation of those, though very tired, but I was happy, and fulfilling. Sometimes, I really feel very lucky because many people work hard, and do not necessarily have a harvest, but I always have success, there is always progress, I believe Inf.

I write "life and death not bad" to "State", and now write "the world", had been considered to be an era weathervane. Although this rating for me is a kind of pressure, but think of his own creative process, does all this come too quickly. I started learning from writing lyrics in 2008, the first song is a Hung Ming singing "Hero", talking about the story of the Olympic hero Ahewali, it is the song for the failure of the heroes into the hearts of people . In fact, when it was planning to write a song to help Hongming Olympic song was originally to provide him with a target to facilitate his own creation, the result Hongming when I write lyrics put to use. Mo Wei second song is sung by the composer Xiao Ke, "the way home," the South that year, snowstorms, many people have blocked the road to return home the New Year, and I have had this experience, and the time feelings written down, very simple. The third song is "standing up", in fact, this is to help people find the original Sister Wangzhe Bin Zhao minister, would like to pick the Olympic song inside a song as the film "One Man's Olympics" theme song, results do not pick to the right, in the chat process, they found that I have said, the official they want. Zhejiang Bin Sister to encourage me to write, and she put me in her family's underground home theater room, a movie trailers, and a few paper, a pen, a bottle of water. She jokingly said, written and release me go. Two hours later I handed over operations, she and her big screenwriter Wang Xingdong, as well as composer Shunan are very pleased to see that time so I really can not believe the adoption of, or movie theme song! Later this song on the year's Spring Festival Evening, and and the "life and death not leave," he also won the Central Propaganda Department, "Five-One Project Award", which is the country's highest arts award. The fourth song is "life and death not leave." I asked the assistant that day, and now I have written many songs, and he told me the number: "Fast 100 had." I am very surprised a lot of people think that I only write like a "state" similar to the song, in fact, I also wrote a number of small love small love song. Geji Tian, stone album should come out, that's all inside the song I wrote, but, and the 80 post-Musician, to the contrary feel that is too amateur, too old. Anyway, I was an amateur, and does not matter, a lot of time, I was comforted himself to write, management does he want to how to write on how to write! In this busy day, occasionally write lyrics is to make himself a little quiet, to find a balance, so that the future work of passion.

To tell the truth, "the world" can become a volunteer Expo theme song that I never thought of, after the end of the conference, several of Shanghai's city leaders called me before the recognition of 10 minutes, including a leadership also voiced what I wrote several songs, and read that they are really satisfied with this song, which allow Xiaodong long sigh, the Shanghai Municipal Committee, deputy secretary of the regiment after several years of efforts, finally complete the task, he was happy and very grateful to me. In fact, I should be grateful to him and their team, they should take thousands of songs to pick the songs I wrote, so that the leadership of so many recognized me, so that with one million volunteers to sing this song, is my life the greatest happiness.

I am grateful to Dr Yang Mu's music, thanks Tan Jing's character singing, would like to thank Xiao-Feng Wang, stone, they were written for this music. Should be most grateful to Jackie Chan's older brother, without him, there can not be this song, it was his "debt collection style" to force me to write songs, writing songs for giving me the motivation and desire. Thank you, brother Jackie Chan! This afternoon is the "World" MV boot the ceremony, but also biggest names gathered, but also the director Chen Kaige, with Jia Zhangke, etc., wait and see!

《世界》正式被定为上海世博会志愿者主题歌(2010-03-15 10:28:08) 标签：世界上海世博志愿者主题歌成龙陈凯歌贾樟柯王平久舒楠谭晶 分类：平久---随笔


这几天实在是太忙，连喘口气的机会都没有。很多朋友祝贺我《世界》正式被定为上海世博会志愿者主题歌，我又没有时间感谢大家的支持。因为这次上海之行，工作安排的很满，除了参加主题歌发布仪式，解放日报的论坛，世博开幕式工作会，中国元素工作会等，工作最多的一天近10个会，并且这些会都需要结果，都是需要解决问题想办法，全部是务实高效的。也许正是这些结果支撑着我，一天下来，背部是僵硬的，随便一躺就不想动，不想说话，可脑子里还在转，还在回忆今天的内容，有没有问题或更好的办法。

其实，这种状况是我在复制两年前北京奥运冲刺时刻，不同的只是世博。我是幸运的，能赶上这两个国际性且影响中国未来的活动，自己还是最前沿的执行者，尽管很累，但我是快乐的，充实的。有时候，我真的觉得很幸运，因为很多人努力了，并不一定都有收获，而我总有成绩，总有进步，我相信天道酬勤。

我从写《生死不离》到《国家》，现在又写《世界》，被人们认为是一个年代的风向标。尽管这种评价对于我是一种压力，但想起自己的创作历程，确实这一切都来得太快。我是从2008年开始学写歌词的，第一首是游鸿明唱的《英雄》，讲的是奥运英雄阿赫瓦里的故事，正是这首歌让这位失败的英雄走进了国人心中。其实，当时为帮鸿明策划写一首奥运歌曲，本来是向他提供一个靶子，方便他的创作，结果鸿明就把我写的当歌词用了。第二首歌是莫文尉唱的，由小柯作曲《回家的路》，那年南方雪灾，很多人回家过年都被堵在路上了，我是有过这种经历的，把当时的感受写了下来，很纯朴。第三首歌是《站起来》，其实这也是为了帮人，当初王浙滨大姐找赵部长，想从奥运歌曲里面挑一首歌作为电影《一个人的奥林匹克》的主题歌，结果没有挑到合适的，在聊天过程中，他们发现我所说的，正式他们要的。浙滨大姐就鼓励我写，她把我关在她家的地下家庭影院房间里，一个电影片花，几张纸，一只笔，一瓶水。她开玩笑的说，写好了就放我走。两个小时后我交了作业，她和大编剧王兴东，还有作曲舒楠看后非常高兴，当时我真的不敢相信就这样通过了，还是电影主题歌！后来这首歌上了当年的春晚，并和《生死不离》同时获得了中宣部“五个一工程奖”，这是国家最高艺术奖。第四歌就是《生死不离》。那天我问助手，现在我已经写了多少歌了，他告诉我数量：“快100首了”。我自己都很吃惊，很多人都以为我只写像《国家》类似的歌，其实我也写了不少小情小爱的歌。隔几天，石头的专辑就要出来了，那里面的歌全是我写的，不过，和这位80后的音乐才子合作，反倒觉得自己实在太业余，太老了。反正我是业余的，无所谓，很多的时候，我就是这样安慰自己去写，管他什么，想怎样写就怎样写！在这样忙的日子里，偶尔地写些歌词，是想让自己安静一点，找寻一种平衡，让未来的工作充满热情。

说实在的，《世界》能成为世博志愿者主题歌，是我从来没有想到的，在发布会结束后，几位上海市的市领导把我叫到面前，表扬10多分钟，其中有个领导还说出了我写的好几首歌，看的出他们是真的很满意这首歌，这让小冬长长地叹了一口气，这位上海的团市委副书记经过几年的努力，终于完成任务，他很开心，也很感激我。其实是我应该感激他和他们的团队，他们能从成千上万的歌曲中能挑出我写的歌，让这样多的领导认可我，让百万志愿者同唱这首歌，是我人生最大的幸福。

我感谢何沐阳的音乐，感谢谭晶的本色演唱，还要感谢王晓峰，石头，他们都分别为此写过音乐。最应该感谢成龙大哥，如果没有他，就不可能有这首歌，正是他“讨债式”地逼我写歌，让我有写歌的动力和欲望。谢谢成龙大哥！今天下午是《世界》MV开机仪式，又是大腕云集，又陈凯歌导演，有贾樟柯等等，拭目以待吧！
