Chapter 586: In Heaven and Earth, Criticize to the End

"Zheng, why don't you rewrite the lyrics of the song "Between Heaven and Earth", compared with the lyrics you wrote, I am very dissatisfied with what I wrote. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info,MJ said.

Zheng Xiao has already read the lyrics of "Between Heaven and Earth" written by MJ.

The so-called heaven and earth, naturally refers to China, because the Chinese ancestors have believed since ancient times that they live in the middle of heaven and earth, and their country is the center of this world.

"China" actually means "central country", which is derived from the allusion of "heaven and earth".

MJ uses "Heaven and Earth" as the title of the song, which is still quite atmospheric.

The original lyrics of the song MJ were written quite positively.

His lyrics praise the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in this ancient country since China entered the new era after the reform and opening up, and he predicts in the song that this country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization is likely to regain its former glory and achieve the grand occasion of a truly central country in the world.

Writing it like this is akin to singing a hymn to China.

But there are really too many hymns written for China, and there is really no shortage of MJ.

Zheng Xiao believes that if you want a new song to cause great repercussions and attention, it is better to choose a new angle to write. So, what angle is better?

He feels that since the first two songs are reflecting and criticizing, then this song "Between Heaven and Earth" should also continue to reflect and criticize.

If, through reflection and criticism, the people of this country can wake up suddenly, it will be considered a success.

In this way, the three new songs of the MJ China concert are all reflections and criticisms, which can be regarded as a bright color of this concert, right?

Thinking so, Zheng Xiao agreed: "Okay, Mike, I already have a song in my head now, write it down and show it to you." ”

"Zheng, your talent is really too agile, you can write such a good lyric casually, and it is estimated that no one in the world can compare with you in this regard." MJ praised.

"It's over, Mike, I just had a lot of feelings when I was watching your songs, so today's inspiration is a little more violent."

Zheng Xiao picked up the pen and began to write quickly on the paper again.

The East of the Earth

The center of Asia

The old great powers have been put on new clothes

5,000 years of immortal ambition have finally ushered in today's mighty eight directions

The old years grew desolate in the dusty time

High-rise buildings grow like weeds

The metropolis is expanding rapidly day after day

The ruins of the village lay at the foot of the city

Money and fame have become the only religion of the people of this country

The country that once flourished in Tang and Song poetry is now full of copper stench

The morality of Zeng Qianjin Yinuo is now beginning to crumble and shatter

Historical monuments are quietly dying on the earth

All cities have exactly the same faces

The crying of Qin bricks and Han tiles was muffled by laughter singing praises of virtue

The quaint folk customs are mired in the deception of greed......

This song is very long, and it writes about all kinds of undesirable phenomena that have occurred in the land of China and the loss of human nature and hearts since the reform and opening up.

The heavy history has become a burden for the country, and she is eager to break free from the shackles of history and destroy everything ancient.

Money and material desires are raging among the crowd.

Wealth has become the only measure of success in everything.

Rush for quick success spreads rapidly among the population like a contagious disease.

Vanity has shielded the truth of things.

All this will become the resistance and obstacle for China to realize the dream of real take-off, and in the world, the writing of a prosperous chapter is facing a crisis.

Zheng Xiao finished writing the song and handed it to MJ.

After watching it, MJ was a little worried, he frowned slightly and asked: "Zheng, this song is written very sharply, criticizing your country and the people of this country, do you think such a song can pass the review of the relevant departments of your country?" ”

It turned out that he was worried about this.

It's also a sign that MJ is beginning to mature.

In the early years, MJ would not have considered whether the person in power would be unhappy. At that time, when he was doing his own global tour, he often put forward all kinds of requirements for the local area, and if the requirements could not be met, then I'm sorry, I won't go to the concert.

This angularity and personality have been almost completely lost in the course of time.

MJ naturally knows that the Chinese government is relatively strict in its control of words and roads.

He felt that it was obviously inappropriate for a foreigner to come to China to sing such a fiercely critical song.

"Mike, don't worry, there's no problem with this song. Although the song I wrote is a criticism of all kinds of undesirable phenomena in this country, it is a criticism from the perspective of benefiting the country, which will only benefit the country's development and will not do any harm, and the Chinese authorities will not even tolerate this criticism. Zheng Xiao said with a smile.

"However, I'm a foreigner, so it's different." MJ is still a little relieved.

"Mike, these tracks will be sent for review at that time, and only if the review is passed, can they be sung at the concert, if you don't believe it, I asked people to send these three songs to the relevant departments for inspection earlier." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.

"That's fine." MJ Road.

In the following time, the two discussed the program and other details of the concert's other program list.

The next day, Zheng Xiao asked He Wei to send these program lists that needed to be approved to the relevant departments of the Ministry of Culture for review.

And just as he predicted, the lyrics of the three new songs he rewrote all passed the review without exception, and there were no twists and turns.

At this point, the program of MJ's concert has been completely decided.

Because many media across the country and even around the world are paying attention to MJ China concerts, some of the information about MJ concert declaration programs was quickly obtained by some media.

The Beijing Evening News reported with the title of "MJ's Three New Songs of the Chinese Concert".

The newspaper claimed that it had learned from a source in the Ministry of Culture that the organizers of the MJ China concert sent the concert program to the Ministry of Culture for review, and all the programs on the program were approved.

This time, MJ has composed three new songs for his Chinese concert, namely "The Great Wall", "The Forbidden City" and "Among Heaven and Earth", all of which are songs written with Chinese elements.

It is understood that the lyrics of these three songs were created by Zheng Xiao, and the arrangement was completed by MJ.

It is worth mentioning that these three new songs by MJ are all masterpieces with the theme of reflection and criticism, and they all have relatively profound connotations, which are worth looking forward to.

The Beijing Evening News also verified this matter with Dinghong Times Company, and Dinghong Times Company gave a positive answer, and also told reporters that during the MJ concert, MJ will sing the English version of these three songs, and Zheng Xiao will sing the Chinese version.
