With the movie version of "Blue Wizard" aggressively, then the animated version of the theme song "Blue Wizard Song" once again swept the north and south. This is the first popular song by the songwriter Qu Cong lyricist, composer compose Zhengqiu Feng, China is the first song supporting the original theme song of foreign animation, rather than most people think of the original animated version of the theme song of the Chinese translation. In particular this exclusive interview with this reporter Qu Cong, he would see the creation story behind the song.

Qu Cong have a number of identities, such as writers, poets, writers, has Renzong Zheng Song and Dance Troupe head, etc., but recently he was more concerned about a "Blue Wizard Song" songwriter's identity. In his view this is a very interesting thing, he more than once for the media to interview him, said: "In my lifetime has been engaged in professional artistic creation, has written more than 500 million words of the book, but many people do not know, but is These were inadvertently do we remember. "The feeling he still told reporters:" such as "I love you China", "Turpan grapes ripen," "moon walk I go," I did not think was a lot of time to write In the future people will remember them. "

"First for the song, reloading of the word"

Qu Cong called "Blue Wizard Song" was "a long line of more than a dozen wings poems to music." He told reporters that the "Blue Wizard Song" before or after a period of time, whether there is the introduction of foreign film works of creation or the local theme song episode, he "does not remember also could not give," "It may not be the only of one, but at least know the man's works, it is the only one. "

Remembrance of the original creative process, because some of the details of color and coated with a history full of fun. That year, the Political Department of Guangzhou Military Region Song and Dance Ensemble headed by Qu Cong soldiers and Guangdong TV animated children's program director of the Department of Children live in a large yard, a chat, the director mentioned in the introduction of a children's station cartoon "Smurfs," want to film with a local original theme song. This work was later handed to the Qu Cong and Zhengqiu Feng, Qu Cong lyricist, Zheng Qiufeng composer. Song and Dance Ensemble was Zhengqiu Feng, deputy head of a warrior, but also sharing a compound, after they have made the film over the Ministry in collaboration episode.

Then, read the "Blue Wizard" in the trailers, they created the songs out. "After we finished listening to the director, she felt quite right: how songs like Japan?" Qu Cong recalls, "I was very puzzled and said, this is not written to the Japanese animated episode it?" Until then, he know "Blue Wizard" is the U.S. Department of the cartoon. He told reporters: "We had the impression that the introduction of animation, the basic is the" smart one off, "" Flower Fairy "These Japanese cartoons, so I thought" Blue Wizard "is also Japanese."

Creation over again. Qu Cong recalls: "Because Europe was feeling very happy style of music itself, the melody is very smooth, the lyrics are very easy to read. So I Zhengqiu Feng said: 'You first look for a happy and smooth piano melody to me, I again lyrics. "The whole creative process quickly, before the decision to eat lunch this noon, Zheng Qiufeng on the piano," find "to the melody. According to the melody, before dinner Qu Cong put the lyrics written out.

"May now seem, the creative process is very simple, but in fact many successful songs are written in inadvertently." Qu Cong said, "the melody is flowing out from the heart, the lyrics can go down the melody." Now he turned around to see the song, "In fact, not too literary lyrics, but it has the advantage that - is that children are familiar with the vocabulary."

"The real prize in the mouth of the people."

"Blue Wizard of Song" with the cartoon aired, the children's acceptance of it is beyond the expected Qu Cong, his analysis: "Perhaps because it was not long after China's reform and opening up, not bring in more good cartoon, but This song is entirely in our own language to create, very smooth. "

The song in 1988 by Lu Xun Literary Award in 1989 received the National Silver Award Outstanding children's songs. Turning to the reasons for the award-winning, Qu Cong said that this song was produced in a wide range of people affected, the judges may think that people like the song should be winning. Qu Cong can not remember now how much money, but he remembers that after winning a true and great joy, "which is created out of our freedom, when the director did not make changes directly on the adoption, and the word changed and to sung to the present. "

As a lyricist, Qu Cong and do not mind winning the thing, he said: "The real prize is in the mouth of the people who sung your song, than on the numbers of awards are important."

Time fast into the 21st century, the annual production of domestic cartoons now have been able to reach 385, 220,000 minutes, but in addition to "Goat and Big Big Wolf" theme song "Do not I just a sheep", the animation is not made We have too much to impress the theme song, the 1980s cartoon theme song of the popular and brilliant hard to reproduce.

Qu Cong in view, in fact, there are a number of animated songs written good, but times have changed. "We had to catch up with a single media era, when a national television audience watching, watching the same show, cartoon theme song as the carrier will be able to have an impact across the country, whereas now the media pluralism, and therefore the audience was dispersed, and a work or a song can have a corresponding influence on the small. "He, by extension to the whole social environment," This is a fast-food era, we find we have several known novels and short stories, we know he can not find a few works of the poet. "

The "Blue Wizard body" very calm

Qu Cong did not think that is, 20 years later, because the film version of "Blue Wizard" release, "Blue Wizard Song" was not only the nostalgia of the audience re-filed, it is the power of network development for the dozens of versions of the "Blue Wizard body." Programmer version, female version of the news, Mei-US version, Wuhan version, etc., in the same sentence, the users who play endless imagination, the exotic musical styles, classic oldies, modern social life, cartoon-like exaggeration humorous, clever these factors together, creating a carnival full sentences.

Qu Cong or even sent to others received various versions of his "Blue Wizard body," the message. As author of the original words, his "Blue Wizard body," the popular look very calm. "I feel nothing and now we laugh at yourself through a variety of ways, others and society, all kinds of 'body' of the popular ways is one of ridicule." He would read "Blue Wizard body" different versions of content, see the good , and will say: "This well written, to write things thoroughly." his phrase, has revealed the original and modern versions of the different: "I wrote a fairy tale, the reality is that they write." also generous praise: "Some people write better than I, the content of flesh and blood, because they are more deeply reflect witnessed or experienced the reality."

He also recommended that: "The sentences should have a limit, some things are not suitable for such performance, if the writing abuse, no sense of proportion, it will hurt some people."
