Chapter 1024 A Song for Heroes (Third Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)
So More and More Non-British Netizens Left Messages on Phil Gibbs's Twitter, Offering Their Suggestions.
A Russian Netizen Named "Gunner" Participated in This Way.
The Song He Provided Gave Tom Jackson a Pleasant Surprise. It Was the Famous Theme Music from the Game *Red Alert 2* Produced by Electronic Arts (EA)—"The Soviet March."
This Song Spread All Over the World with the Release of the Globally Known Video Game *Red Alert*. It Was Influential Not Only in Russian-Speaking Countries and the United States, But Also in Continental Europe.
Some People Even Thought It Was the Soviet National Anthem...
Although It Was a Song About the Soviet Union, It Was Not Actually a Soviet Song. The Lyricist and Composer Were Both Americans, and the Time of Creation Was Not the 1980s as Everyone Thought, Nor Was It the Soviet National Anthem. It Was Just the Theme Song of the Game *Red Alert*.
The Song Was Written Entirely in Russian and Performed by a San Francisco Choir. The Song Had a Grand and Majestic Momentum. Although the Lyrics Were Particularly Evil, Mainly Promoting the Soviet Threat Theory, Tom Jackson Felt That Chen Hero Should Be Praised in This Way!
The Soviet Union Has Been Dissolved for More Than Thirty Years, and Whether It Still Poses a Threat to the World Has Lost Its Meaning. Instead, He Felt That Chen Hero Was Indeed a Great Threat to Other Teams.
Tom Jackson Slapped His Thigh—This Was It!
Then He Gathered His Companions, and Everyone Met at the "Red Army" Bar. After Everyone Arrived, He Played the Song Once and Then Looked at Everyone.
"How is it?"
Phil Gibbs Was the First to Laugh. "It Really Feels Like Hero!"
"Isn't It...a Bit Too Evil?" Adam Smith Frowned and Raised His Concerns.
"Evil Is Good! Isn't Hero Originally Not a Noble Gentleman Image? Haha!" Tom Jackson Said. "It Must Be Evil, So That Opponents Will Feel Scared When They Hear This Song! Hero Is the Biggest Villain in the Eyes of All Teams, Of Course He Must Be Evil!"
Phil Gibbs Also Nodded. "I Think It's Good. Anyway, When I Hear This Music, The First Image That Comes to My Mind Is Hero...He Is Not a Gentle and Cultured Gentleman, Nor Is He a Graceful Young Master. He Is a Man Full of Power, Exuding a Wild Aura. He Is Rude and Barbaric, and His Mouth Is Full of Swear Words, But He Is Extremely Impactful on the Field. As Long As He Is the Opponent, No One Is Afraid of Him. They Are So Afraid of Him That They Do Not Hesitate to Smear Him and Insult Him. But These Are Useless. You Have Also Heard Those Boos, Right? The Stronger the Boos, the Stronger the Hero!"
Everyone Noded One After Another, Expressing Their Agreement with Phil Gibbs's Description of Chen Hero.
Tom Jackson Took Over the Conversation. "Everyone Knows That This Is the Theme Song of *Red Alert*. This Song Is Written for the Evil Soviet Union in the Game. We Don't Care About Politics. I Just Think This Song Is Very Suitable for Hero's Temperament. He Is Like the Steel Division of the Former Soviet Union, Galloping Across the Snowy Wilderness, So That Hitler's Third Reich Army Can Only Surrender. Hero Should Have Such Power and Strength, Those Pop Songs Are Too Soft...And Although This Song Is Not As Popular As Those Pop Songs, The Melody Is Generally Catchy, Very Simple. Even People Who Have Never Heard It Before Will Involuntarily Hum the Next Sentence After Hearing the Previous Sentence...Moreover, This Song Was Originally a Chorus Song, The More People There Are, The More Magnificent It Is to Sing."
Tom Jackson Tries Hard to Promote the Song He Likes. He Would Be Very Disappointed If It Was Not Selected. Because It Is Impossible for Another Song to Be More Suitable for Chen Hero's Temperament Than This One!
Chen Hero Exudes an Evil Aura From the Inside Out, From Head to Toe!
For This Player From a Country Repeatedly Promoted as a "*****" by the Western Media, It Is Indeed Quite Interesting.
"Hero Threat Theory," But We Don't Think This Is a Bad Statement. On the Contrary, Our "Red Giant Bear" Is Proud of It.
He Comes From Darkness, He Exudes the Aura of Death All Over His Body, He Comes From Hell, He Is Not Here to Make Friends With You, Idiots, He Is Here to Take Your Lives! Tremble Under the Iron Fist of Hero, Wail! Pay Tribute to the Evil Hero With Your Fear and Death!
Phil Gibbs Added: "And There Is a Very Interesting Coincidence...This Song Is About the Soviet Red Army, and Our Liverpool Also Has a Nickname Called the 'Red Army.' Everyone Knows How It Came About...Hero Just Happens to Be From China, and Our Red Army Has a Bit of Origin With His Country. Therefore, Liverpool's Hottest Star Should Originally Use Such a Song to Show His Charm."
The Big Shots Didn't Have Any Objections, and the Others Had Even Fewer Objections.
So The Song Was Decided. But The Original Lyrics Were Definitely Not Suitable for Singing—Because It Basically Has Nothing to Do With Chen Hero, They Need to Write New Lyrics.
This Work Is Not Difficult for Them. There Are All Kinds of People Among Liverpool Fans. Phil Gibbs Rose to Fame Because of the Assassination Incident, and Therefore Met Some Celebrities. It Included Singers. He Knew Matthew Murphy, The Lead Singer of a Local Liverpool Rock Band. This Home Game Is a Die-Hard Fan of Liverpool and a Crazy Fan of Chen Hero. It Is Most Appropriate to Let Him Write the Lyrics for This Song.

Matthew Murphy Took Over This Job From Phil Gibbs and Then Started the Lyric Writing Work. He First Listened to the Song Repeatedly Several Times, and Then Used Video Editing Software to Put Together Chen Hero's Wonderful Performance Highlights and This Song, Making This Song the Bgm of Hero's Wonderful Highlights Video.
Just Keep Listening and Watching, Looking for Feelings.
Three Days Later, He Gave Phil Gibbs a Lyrics Sheet and a Sample.
"It Took a Day to Write the Lyrics, and Then We Spent Two Days Letting the Band Sing It...This Is a Sample. I Think the Effect Will Be Better If We Ask a Choir to Sing It." Murphy Said When He Gave the Things to Phil Gibbs. "But This Song Itself Is Already Great! I Guarantee You Will Like It As Soon As You Hear It, Hahaha!"
Phil Gibbs Gathered Many Red Giant Bear Fans to the "Red Army" Bar to Audition to This Song.
He Pressed the Play Button on the CD Player, and Soon the Prelude Began. It Was the Passionate "Soviet March"!
The Rhythmic Sounds of Drums and Trombones and French Horns Were Like a Steel Torrent Walking Toward Them in Big Strides.
"Ah, I Have Goose Bumps..." Someone Couldn't Help But Touch His Arm and Said.
"Shh!" But He Was Immediately Interrupted by His Companion Next to Him.
At This Time, Just Listen to the Song Quietly, Speaking Will Ruin the Atmosphere.
Then Matthew Murphy and His Companions' Voices Rang Out.
In Order to Get As Close to That Feeling As Possible, Matthew Murphy and His Companions Were Obviously Lowering Their Voices to Sing, Which Was Different From Their Previous Style, Trying to Create That Kind of "Cossack Male Chorus" Feeling.
"He Is a Fierce Giant Bear From the North, Breaking Mountains and Tearing Apart the Cold Winter! The Earth Will Sing Everywhere: Hero! Chen Hero! Our Liverpool Giant Bear!"
"He Is a Magical Dragon From the East, The Flames Sprayed Out Are Fiery and Red! The Earth Will Sing Everywhere: Hero! Chen Hero! Our Liverpool Dragon!"
"Everyone Must Accept All This—Hero Invincible Has Become a Reality! Bow Deeply to the World's Most Powerful Hero With Respect and Fear!"
"Long Live! Hero! Long Live! Long Live! Long Live——!!" (Note)
The Music Has Finished Playing, and Everyone Is Still Silent.
Tom Jackson's Eyes Seemed to Have a Giant Bear Emerging Before Him, Rampaging in Front of the Opponent's Defense Line. He Leapt High and Overcame Those High Walls and Barriers; He Descended From the Sky With a Fierce Killing Intent; Even a Roar Could Make the Enemy Tremble!
The Sky Around Him Was Already Dyed Red With Flames and Blood, and Corpses Were Scattered All Over the Ground, and Blood Flowed Into Rivers, a Hellish Scene.
After a Long Time, Tom Jackson Recovered, and He Raised His Head and Looked at His Companions Who Were Also Stunned, and Asked, "How Is It, Guys?"
"Too...Too Great!" Adam Smith Was Shaking Just Now When He Spoke, Obviously He Was Too Excited. "I Even Thought There Was a Giant Bear in Front of Me Just Now!"
"Hey, I'm Just Like You, Man!" Someone Next to Him Patched Him on the Shoulder.
"I'm Like This Too, Adam." Tom Jackson Said With a Smile.
"I'm Going to Sing It to Hero at the Game Now!" Phil Gibbs Said Forcefully With a Clenched Fist. "As Long As I Think About What Expressions Other People Will Have When Our Song Sounds at Anfield Stadium, I Feel Excited! But It Would Be Better If It Was in Russian!"
"We Can Sing With Our Tongues Curled, This Is Not a Problem, Phil. In Addition, If This Song Becomes Famous, We Can Also Record an Album, Maybe There Will Be Russian Friends Who Are Willing to Sing This Song in Russian for Us By Then." Tom Jackson Thought of the Russian Netizen "Gunner" Who Suggested Him to Use This Song, I Wonder If He Also Has This Idea?
The Others Also Said That This Song Was Very Passionate, Very Boiling, Very Very Good, Very Evil, and Very Suitable for Chen Hero.
Tom Jackson Smiled.
This Is What He Wanted to Hear, and the Song He Wanted to Sing to Chen Hero!

(Note: Special Thanks to the Lovely and Talented Comrade Mao Ni for the Lyrics Filled With Passion for Hero, I Made Some Minor Modifications and Combined It With the Original Lyrics. Here Let Us Applaud Comrade Mao Ni! Thank You for Taking the Time Out of Your Busy Schedule to Write the Lyrics for Hero!
In Order to Fill in the Lyrics, Both He and I Repeatedly Listened to the "Soviet March" n Times, and Our Ears Were Almost Full of This Sound...Considering That Both of Us Have Worked So Hard, Please Vote for a Monthly Pass!)
ps, I Was So Busy Yesterday That I Put Up Two Identical Chapters, I Have Already Made the Modifications, But Perhaps It Is a Problem With the Qidian Server, It Always Fails to Display It in the First Time, Which Makes Me Wonder If the Modification Was Successful...
I Can Only Repeat the Modification Several Times.
