Chapter 744 The hometown that can't be returned to, what a beautiful jasmine
The lyrics of "Hotel California" refer to 1969, and it is indeed about a situation in the United States at that time.
Not only the people above the middle class are degenerate, drunk and gold-obsessed, but also those who have no money steal chickens and dogs, block roads and rob and kill people, just for pleasure.
Even now, there are many scandals in the circle, and transactions are frequent.
Although some of them are your love and my wishes, those values can peak the three views of ordinary people.
Fornication, drug abuse, and open-air parties are not legends.
Some local tyrants show off their wealth, post pictures, hug left and right, and a group of beauties around them have a good time.
Just looking at that picture, relatively conservative people in the circle can guess what the private picture looks like that can't be on the stage.
From poor to rich, a considerable number will be lost.
Some of them crawled out at the end, still well-dressed in front of people.
Some of them have disappeared, and when they see it again, they are already down-and-out.
After Chen Ziang and Wang Yu sang "Hotel California", they bowed and thanked them, and then stepped off the stage.
The two walked easily, but left a big problem for the judges.
The melody of this song is nothing to say, and it may be inappropriate to say that it is an unprecedented rock music work, but in the minds of many judges, there is no song that can compare with it for a while.
It brought great enjoyment to the judges and fans.
Its special feature also lies in the double guitar playing effect of Chen Ziang and Xu Ran.
Although the intro is quite long, no one who really likes music will dislike it for being long.
Some even hope that the prelude does not end.
In the previous life, "Hotel California" created a group of super fans.
The single was so famous that the limelight even overshadowed its creators, the "Eagles".
It has been hailed by many musicians and fans as a masterpiece, and it topped the charts for eight consecutive weeks in the year of its release.
"Mysterious, poignant lyrics. ”
"The pinnacle of psychedelic rock!"
After Chen Ziang and Wang Yu went down, this is what fans said about this song.
Musicians, especially those who lived through that era, felt it the most.
After that year, rock and roll was captured by money, became a slave to money, and lost its positive spirit.
Even now, rock 'n' roll has not fallen.
Pop music dominates the world and has no rival.
Tonight, a song "Hotel California" came out that caught everyone off guard.
This surprise came as a surprise.
It's just that some people are terrified in their hearts.
The allusions to the lyrics are too subtle.
There are many versions that can be interpreted.
Once the interpretation is not good, it is negative and negative values.
If the interpretation is wrong, then it will be innocent and controversial.
The judges have a headache.
"Fortunately, it wasn't sung by the pinnacle battle, otherwise it would be really troublesome. One of the judges knocked out the difficult choices in the hearts of the judges.
"Oh, that's it, such a beautiful song, it's a bit controversial, but if we don't vote, people will say we're stupid. Someone chimed in.
"Songwriter, zang gold?hat, why don't I even know how to pronounce it?"
"Me too, what gold?"
"I studied Chinese, and zang seems to be Chinese Hanji Pinyin, not our English. ”
"How does Zang translate?"
"Translated into English it should mean dirty. ”
"dirty gold?My god, this songwriter is so powerful, dirty gold, dirty gold, the name is so literary, close to the lyrics and insinuation. ”
“……”
Not only the judges, but also fans are asking who the songwriter is and what his origins are.
Background.
After Chen Ziang and his party came down, they high-fived their performance to celebrate the perfect end.
Wang Yu's assistant stopped talking, and finally came up to inform Chen Ziang: "Mr. Chen, the organizer seems to have typed your name wrong." I watched the live stream in the background and saw that the subtitles were written 'zang gold', not 'ziang gold', let alone 'gold ziang'. ”
"Huh?" Chen Ziang was surprised: "Why are the people here so uneducated?"
"Cultural differences, no Chinese culture. Xu Ran rolled his eyes.
Lan Yeqing also snickered: "Gold is dirty, dirty gold ......"
As he spoke, everyone was stunned.
looked straight at Chen Ziang one by one.
Chen Ziang was furious: "Why are you looking at me like this." ”
"Is that the name you submitted yourself?" asked Wang Yu.
"No, they are uneducated. Chen Ziang did not admit it.
The group went back to Wang Yu's room to watch other singers sing.
The other six singers appeared on the stage one by one, and brought friends in the circle to help one by one.
However, no matter how sensational the singing guests were, after singing, the audience and the judges frowned.
The judges are going to vote!
Some viewers also have some voting rights, but the proportion is very small, which does not affect the overall situation.
Wang Yu sat in the room a little nervously, watching the picture transmitted back from the scene.
Vote now, but the outcome has not yet been decided.
The sum of the second solo is what determines who makes it to the finals.
There are only three spots available in the finals.
The three people who entered the finals competed for the king of singers tonight.
Although the result of the first song is not final, it also affects the total number of votes that follow.
In the live broadcast screen, the pictures of the seven singers in the room are switched back and forth.
Everyone was smiling, but they definitely wanted to get a high number of votes.
Especially Nina and Rory, who are the most vocal singers, are roaring in their hearts: I am the second most voted vote!
They didn't put Wang Yu at ease, and the only opponent in their hearts was each other.
But now, "Hotel California" has come out, and they have been calm for so long, they have to admit that the meaning of this song is extraordinary.
If most of the judges don't choose Wang Yu, then there is really a problem with this jury.
The whole of America, and even the whole world, is watching.
The American version of "I Am a Singer" is a world stage, and there are many countries where it is broadcast.
The Chinese version of "I Am a Singer" can only be popular in Southeast Asia in China, but not in Asia.
The American version of "I Am a Singer" is different, they have been the entertainment center of this world for decades, and they have been prosperous for decades.
Just like the Tang and Song dynasties in China, it was glorious for hundreds of years.
The host announced the number of votes for the first song in the first round, and the results lived up to expectations.
Wang Yu got the highest number of votes.
And pull out the second place by a big cut.
As soon as the results came out, Wang Yu was quite excited, hugged Chen Ziang and didn't let go, and took the opportunity to kiss him on the cheek.
Chen Ziang was a little embarrassed.
Think about it, fortunately, there is no live TV station in China, and my wife will not go online to watch the live broadcast at this time.
She is very particular now, there is no need not to use a mobile phone, nor a computer.
"The second song can be sung with confidence, right?" Wang Yu was happiest about this.
The first song had such a high number of votes, she felt that Chen Ziang would not be so worried, so that she could sing it with confidence.
"Getting to the final doesn't seem to be much of a problem. Chen Ziang was also very happy.
In this way, Wang Yu's goal is not far away.
When he started singing solo in the first round, Wang Yu was automatically arranged to appear last because of the highest number of votes.
When she stepped on the stage, she felt infinite emotion in her heart, and looked back at a group of descendants of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States behind her, the Boys and Girls Choir.
In the corner of the band, there is also a luthier.
Guzheng, pipa, flute......
The stage lights dimmed.
The prelude to the guzheng and pipa sounded, and Chen Ziang, who was looking at the scene in the background, his eyes moistened.
"What a beautiful jasmine. ”
Male and female duet.
As soon as the choir's singing came out, Chen Ziang's eyes flashed with tears.
"What a beautiful jasmine
Fragrant and beautiful
It's fragrant and white
Let me take you off
Give it to someone else's home
Jasmine, jasmine
……”
Hearing this, Chen Ziang's tears couldn't help but flow.
Lan Yeqing on the side was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and continued to look at the scene carefully.
Xu Ran was a little silent.
It was as if a breeze was wafting a faint scent of jasmine.
That's the taste of home.
yes, the hometown that I can't go back to...... taste.
Chen Ziang couldn't listen to it.
Wang Yu's gentle and melodious singing voice sounded after the male and female duet: "What a beautiful jasmine flower."
What a beautiful jasmine
Fragrant and beautiful
It's fragrant and white
Let me take you off
Give it to someone else's home
Jasmine, jasmine
……”
At this moment, many Chinese audiences in a foreign country burst into tears after hearing this song.
That's the song and breath from the motherland!
In the previous life, this song represented the Chinese national culture, and it was sung at the national diplomatic welcome meeting and sung on the occasion of international exchanges.
"What a beautiful melody!"
Many Chinese burst into tears.
Everyone has a jasmine flower in their heart.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, jasmine is a maverick flower. The general flowers are made at sunrise and rest at sunset, but it is just going to bloom in the evening, when the twilight is getting thicker, gently lifting the veil, the delicate and delicate that bows the head, makes people feel infinite love and pity.
Talented Xianzi, jade bone ice muscle, Xiang Yanwei, and unique Fangfei. Light and elegant, the first out of the boudoir, is the water palace fairy, the moon palace, the Han palace concubine.
In ancient Yangzhou, when the Qinglou women arrived at night, they often put a jasmine flower on the hairpin between the buns to make its red sleeves fragrant. Ordinary women also like to buy a few and insert them in the placket or hang them in the tent.
In the streets and alleys of the south of the Yangtze River, flower sellers wearing plain clothes open the home weaving cloth covered with flower baskets, and most of them will have jasmine flowers in them.
Jasmine flowers have a long flowering period and can bloom from early summer to late autumn. The jasmine flowers in the night, the small white flowers are full of affection, and they are like holy first kisses.
It does not have the enchanting of peach blossoms, the elegance of orchids, and the wealth of peonies; it only has fragrance, quiet but refreshing. The incense that seeps into the wind, the incense that blends into the moonlight, can enter tea, medicine, dreams, and even bones.
When many people are young, they like to put jasmine in their books. The delicate petals record the love of the past. When I accidentally opened it one day, the summer night in the book, the drunken wind, and the swaying moonlight on the waterfront, woke up from the memory together, and embraced people.
Although the years go by, the face is not there, but the fragrance is the same!
Jasmine, jasmine, what a beautiful jasmine.
In the previous life, "What a Beautiful Jasmine" was sung all over the world in the fifties of the twentieth century.
In the process of circulation, there are dozens of ways to sing "A Beautiful Jasmine" in China alone, and the more prominent version is sung by Cheng Guilan, a singer from Suzhou of the front-line song and dance troupe in 1981, with "Wu Nong's soft language".
It is a Chinese folk song, originated from the "Flower Tune" sung by the folk of Liuhe in Jinling for a hundred years, and was compiled by the military composer He Fang from the folk songs of Yu Liuhe. In 1957, he completed the arrangement of music and lyrics.
The song has been performed at the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and the opening ceremony of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games.
It has a high reputation in China and the world, and is widely praised in China and the world, and is one of the representative elements of Chinese culture.
The pentatonic scale melody of "A Beautiful Jasmine Flower" has distinctive national characteristics, on the other hand, it has a smooth melody and a symmetrical structure that contains periodic repetitions; the version in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a single-section sectional song, the musical structure is more balanced, but it has its own characteristics, and the ending of the sentence uses syncopated rhythm, giving people a light and lively feeling; "Jasmine" has a beautiful melody, clear and beautiful, tactful, fluctuating smoothly, delicate feelings, euphemistic music with strength, delicate with passion, fluttering with firmness.
The song depicts the scenery of the natural world, showing a simple and beautiful feeling, and expresses the beautiful wishes of the beautiful girls who love life, love nature, love flowers, cherish flowers, pity flowers, and are reluctant to pick when jasmine blooms. This folk song has a beautiful and peaceful melody, which is in line with the Chinese personality of "overcoming rigidity with softness".
It has achieved great success in its previous life, and was selected as a song promoted in Asian countries by the "Sixth Expert Meeting on Joint Production of Asian Music Teaching Materials" organized by the Asian Cultural Center of UNESCO.
At the same time, it was also selected as the music of a spacecraft in the United States that flew into outer space in search of extraterrestrial life.
Chen Ziang listened attentively and carefully to this song at the moment, and unconsciously thought of his hometown that he couldn't go back to, and his heart was touched, and he was crying almost the whole time.
Finally, he couldn't help but walk out of the room.
"People with stories!"
Xu Ran also found that Chen Ziang's state was not quite right, and like Lan Yeqing, he felt that behind this song, there must be an unknown story of Chen Ziang.
What the story was, they had no way of knowing.
They won't ask either.
Even they, hearing this song in a foreign country, have mixed feelings.
Even foreign audiences thought it was amazing when they heard it!
Some fans of the American version of "I Am a Singer", from beginning to end, listened to several Chinese songs sung by Wang Yu, and now they begin to think that Chinese folk songs are great and great.
Nina and Rory's faces changed slightly.
Singing folk songs is a great way to test your singing skills.
Wang Yu got serious!
Before the final, she began to set up a cannon.
"She has no problem getting to the final. Nina was worried.
"She's on fire in the final, it's dangerous!" Rory began to worry as well.
The other singers were dumbfounded.
It turned out that Wang Yu had been hiding.
Tonight, she's just starting to get serious!
In the past, they thought that Wang Yu was called a Chinese singer, artist, and palace-level singer, and it was not a big deal.
Right now......
They saw it, and this is a real national treasure!
