"The Lonely Warrior" became the live track played in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. It was a choice made by Chinese fans themselves. The selection of this song explains the following five points:
1. FIFA is interested in the Chinese market with huge potential
In order to leverage the Chinese market and create a new world for the vast number of Chinese fans An online carnival, the organizers of the event specially set up a stage to attract traffic and create a sense of presence and atmosphere for Chinese fans. It should be said that it is both expected and reasonable that Chinese songs such as "Lonely Warrior" will appear on the World Cup stage this time.
2. "The Lonely Warrior" can represent the music "national team"
Qatar has completed the transnational dissemination of Chinese elements. In addition to China's increasingly powerful national power, it also has its own logic. and the necessity of getting out of the circle
3. “Those who win the young people win the world”
Data show that the Chinese audience for this World Cup in Qatar is between the ages of 19 and 35, accounting for close to 70%. It is said that young people are the main audience of the World Cup. Catching young people means having traffic. So how to capture young people and increase their stickiness to the World Cup? ACG may be the winning formula. Speaking of G (game) in ACG, we have to mention the e-sports game "League of Legends".
4. The lyrics are in line with the elements of competitive sports and the Qatar World Cup
Chinese songs will resound in the sky of Doha again. In fact, not only Eason Chan's "The Lonely Warrior", but also Jay Chou's "Snail", JJ Lin's "Heart Wall" and Zhang Jie's "Reverse War" have also become the warm-up (candidate) songs for the finals and the third and fourth place finals. Carefully combing through these Chinese songs, it is not difficult to find that the melodies of the songs are positive and inspiring; the lyrics of the songs well interpret the fighting spirit of competitive sports to not be left behind and to strive for the first place. It is precisely because of its "inspirational" attributes that "Lonely Warrior" has entered FIFA's candidate song list.
5. In line with the spirit of the Olympic movement
"The Lone Warrior" is also the best reflection of the lonely stars on the green field of the World Cup. Many people call this World Cup in Qatar the "Twilight of the Gods" because a large number of world-class stars born between 1985 and 1990 are about to retire. This may be their last World Cup.
To a certain extent, the fighting spirit conveyed in the lyrics of "Lonely Warrior" coincides with the Olympic motto of "Faster, Higher, Stronger, and More United" . Because of this, it seems logical that "The Lonely Warrior" will be on the stage of the World Cup, the "Crown Diamond" of competitive sports.
I am also looking forward to other songs:
1. "We are the champions" "We are the champions" is the most famous single of Queen One, which was released in 1978. Later, it was included in the official music album of the United States World Cup in 1994.
2. "We are one (Ole Ola)" "We are one (Ole Ola)" is the theme song of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. This song was composed by rapper Pitbull and Latin queen Jennifer· Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Wright sang together. The cheerful singing perfectly interprets the style of the Brazilian country.
3. "A Different Kind of Hero" "A Different Kind of Hero" is the theme song of the 1986 Mexico World Cup, sung by Stephanie Lawrence. The theme song of this game is full of traditional atmosphere. The song has always been regarded as Maradona's hymn and has been recited to this day.
4. "Flowing Flag" "Flowing Flag" is the main promotion song of Coca-Cola Company for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This song was written by Somali singer Kenan. The song conveys a rich African habitat and expresses his love for his country.
