"A song "Bell and Drum Tower", I hope you like it. ”

Huang Guolun made a cool introduction, and then played the guitar like a three-stringed sound.

This antique traditional music instantly purified the petty bourgeois atmosphere of the duck shop.

The Beijing flavor of the sea behind the bell and drum tower rises pervasively.

Huang Guolun sang this masterpiece that he pressed his heart with a pure Beijing accent:

"My home is just inside the 2nd Ring Road"

"People here have so much time"

"They're talking about who's three long and two short"

"They're watching you pull out some brand of cigarettes"

"The hard work in the small restaurant is the villagers from other places"

"Their faces are as ...... as mine"

……

As soon as the first sentence of this song came out, several college students were snickering, thinking that Mr. Huang was showing off his wealth.

But when I listen to it later, it is like they have melted into an era that has just passed away and is still hot in white clothes.

There is no hoarse shout, no thunderous rhythm, and no pretentious folk song, Huang Guolun sang the song "Bell and Drum Tower", like a down-to-earth simple picture, slowly unfolding, so that a familiar traditional picture emerges in everyone's mind.

Hu Xuefang, a native of the Drum Tower with a certain age and experience, should not be moved by listening to this song.

Time is in such a movement, as if it has been reversed for more than ten or twenty years, and Hu Xuefang seems to have seen many scenes from her childhood.

Hu Xuefang had read Mr. Liu Xinwu's "Bell and Drum Tower" before, and that book won the second Mao Dun Literature Award.

Although some people say that the characters in this book are very facial and not deep enough, the story of this book is very novel in structure.

The book describes the livelihood of residents in a courtyard near the Bell and Drum Tower on December 12, 1982. Starting at five o'clock in the morning and ending at five o'clock in the afternoon, each hour is a chapter, with a wedding of the Xue family as the main line, leading to the past and present of every member of the entire courtyard.

Although the characters in the book all live in a courtyard house, each character has a different family background, different upbringing, and naturally different temperaments. Mr. Liu Xinwu's description of the characters' hearts and dialogues not only runs through the description of the language, food, architecture and other cultures of the old capital, which can be called a classic.

Hu Xuefang felt very kind when she read this book at that time.

At this moment, listening to Huang Guolun singing the opening of "Bell and Drum Tower", it was as if she had synaesthesia, and she suddenly remembered the story in Mr. Liu Xinwu's "Bell and Drum Tower".

The streets and alleys described by these two are so similar and so cordial, so that Hu Xuefang fell in love with this song in an instant, and was also fascinated by Huang Guolun's singing that smashed into her heart-

"Bicycle riding on the fallen leaves / Watching the sunset disappear"

"The silver ingot bridge can no longer be seen / I can't see the West Mountain"

"The Moon in the Reflection / Negotiating with the Streetlights"

"The lotus in the water / Its leaves are dead"

"Talking about tomorrow morning/Who makes a fire to cook"

"Talking about tomorrow morning/It's eating fritters and biscuits"

……

With Huang Guolun's playing and singing, more and more down-to-earth pictures have formed in people's minds.

The lyrics of this song do not have the gorgeous words like intricate and gilded like prose poems, nor do they depict the beautiful scenery of the Qiongtai Jade Pavilion with clusters of flowers, just the familiar ordinary pictures are enough to penetrate the hearts of the people and make people resonate with the old times.

Bai Yao heard Huang Guolun sing this song "Bell and Drum Tower" before.

Listening to it again this time, she still has a heartfelt touch, and it is also a shock.

The soul of a city is the ordinary and great life of ordinary people.

This song "Bell and Drum Tower", every note and rhythm of the narration is in line with the life perception of ordinary people, which makes Bai Yao, a child who has grown up at the foot of the Drum Tower since childhood, resonate too much.

Not only did she hear an ordinary and typical life from this song, but also those scenes, those sounds, those smells, those dynamics and changes, all of which were slowly drawn out from the depths of her memory.

In her opinion, these old alleys around the Bell and Drum Tower are like the wings of the Bell and Drum Tower, although they can no longer fly, but they accompany the two old buildings to silently carry the changes of history.

It's a visible power that slowly accumulates over time.

This kind of power also appears in Huang Guolun's "Bell and Drum Tower".

This song not only has a blank description of life in the streets and alleys, but also a sobering question.

The changes of the times have made people feel fresh and painful.

Through the image of the Bell and Drum Tower, Huang Guolun skillfully revealed this kind of shock:

"The Bell and Drum Tower inhales the dust and smoke / Let you paint his face"

"I can't hear your voice / It's too noisy and messy now"

"You've been watching it for so long / Why haven't you spoken yet"

"Who made the question so difficult / There are correct answers everywhere"

"Who made the question so hard / There are correct answers everywhere!"

……

Every time she hears this deafening shout, Bai Yao will feel a kind of sadness of being a teenager and an old man.

In this song, the rebellious woman seems to have walked into the smoke and dust of the Bell and Drum Tower, through the once familiar but now somewhat strange streets and people, and found that the place that was once home is gone.

After the hustle and bustle, in the ruins and smoke, this song brought her a strong power of comfort, so beautiful that Bai Yao felt that Huang Guolun sang the bell and drum tower alive, which was deeply imprinted in her heart.

Huang Guolun finally sang back to the beginning, as if in the ruins, rebuilding a nostalgic old alley for people:

"My home is inside the 2nd Ring Road"

"My home is on this side of the Bell and Drum Tower"

"My home is in this compound"

"My Home/My Home"

"My home is on top of this earth......

……

The vicissitudes of life and softness of the song, with the power to heal people's hearts and make people think, beat on everyone's heart.

Every time he sings this song, Huang Guolun himself will have a sense of loss.

Under the relentless crushing of the wheels of history, the scenes of his childhood memories can no longer be relived and re-enacted.

Hometown doesn't feel like hometown anymore.

Home doesn't feel like home anymore.

All that is left behind is a devastated world and a bruised self.

I hope that music can soothe the pain in everyone's hearts at this moment.

Let the beautiful thoughts last forever in this dust-swept urban ballad.

After Hu Xuefang listened to this song "Bell and Drum Tower", her nose was sour.

Shen Yumeng said that the video she recorded for Huang Guolun before was less than one-tenth of what she listened to live.

Now I really listened to Huang Guolun's singing in the café, but Hu Xuefang was angry and said that those videos were less than one percent of Mr. Huang's live music!

may have been this song that stirred up the nostalgia in Hu Xuefang's heart and moved her.

But after listening to this song, Hu Xuefang really felt that Huang Guolun was a more talented musician than Shen Yumeng described!

Huang Guolun's live singing is the most touching and impressive live singing she has heard in recent years.

This "Bell and Drum Tower" is the most moving work among the folk songs she has heard in the past ten years.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a work of God!

Just listening to this song, Hu Xuefang can deeply understand Shen Yumeng's shock.

This talented music teacher is about one hundred and eight floors higher than the musical literacy of the so-called big-name stars they invited after the revamp of the show. He's really a master folk musician!

Just like Shen Yumeng said, in time, this Master Huang will definitely shine in the Chinese music scene!

If they can really invite this master folk musician as a guest on the program, talk about music and life, maybe they can really leave a name in history!

After this song, Hu Xuefang was particularly inclined to invite Huang Guolun to be a guest on their show.

Zhao Jing, who watched the number of people in the live broadcast room quickly breaking 1,000 in front of the notebook, regretted wanting to beat his chest when Huang Guolun sang this song "Bell and Drum Tower" in the middle.

She didn't expect this song "Bell and Drum Tower" to be so down-to-earth and so good!

From the perspective of her personal music aesthetics, this "Bell and Drum Tower" can be ranked among the top three original works of Huang Guolun that she has heard!

Such a classic song, singing it when there are not too many people in the live broadcast room, is simply a violent thing!

Hearing the back, Zhao Jing stomped his feet anxiously, and complained in his heart: This Teacher Huang, such a good song, how can he sing it as soon as he comes up, and only sing it to a small group of people in the café, it is really too ignorant to avoid the important and light!

If this song is sung while waiting for the live broadcast room to heat up, it will definitely be able to pull a wave of small high courts!

Doesn't he himself know how classic this song is?!

Or is it that his stomach is full of this kind of beautiful song that shines under the piano and touches the heart?

Anyway, it's not even hot to warm up at the beginning, and it's really a waste to sing such a moving work directly, ahhhh

Zhao Jing was anxious as if she was undressing, and until this time, she hadn't taken off Huang Guolun's black jacket.

She knows very well that good steel should be used on the edge of a knife.

She won't show off when she shouldn't, but when she should show, she will show off very boldly and generously.

The customers in the café listened to this song "Bell and Drum Tower", and they all gave birth to a kind of emotion that the dew was going to frost and twilight.

Wang Peng took the lead in applauding Huang Guolun: "Teacher Huang, your ballad is so good! Listening to "Bell and Drum Tower" under the Bell and Drum Tower, this feeling is ...... It's amazing!"

Jiang Lili, who was leaning on Wang Peng's arms, had an intoxicated expression on her face, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Others, you praised Huang Guolun's poem "Bell and Drum Tower" written in a vivid way.

Especially those customers who listened to Huang Guolun's singing for the first time, their hearts were full of luck and happiness, and they were so wise to be able to come and see this music special tonight!

Feng Zheng, who has been holding Bai Yao, said at this time: "The song "Bell and Drum Tower" written by Mr. Huang is good, but I still think Zhao Lei's "Drum Tower" is more flavorful. ”
