363 [Dawn of the East Wind]
"Whoever is playing on the lute, a song of the east wind breaks;
The years peel off on the wall, see when you were a child;
I still remember that we were all very young;
And now the sound of the piano is faint, and you haven't heard my waiting......"
At a newsstand in Taipei, an old man in his fifties and sixties was sitting on a bench, with his legs crossed, listening to "East Wind Breaking" on the radio, his fingers tapping on the armrest, and shaking his head in intoxication.
"Uncle Xu, why don't you listen to Peking Opera and listen to pop songs instead?" Duke walked over and smiled.
The old man named Uncle Xu said with a straight face: "Who said that my old man can't listen to songs, I can listen to whatever I like, who cares?" ”
Duke Bang hurriedly said: "I'm not saying that you shouldn't listen to it, but when you listen to pop songs, your head shakes around like listening to a play, and it looks so awkward." ”
"Awkward?". Uncle Xu said, "What kind of rock and roll do those young people listen to, and their buttocks are shaking around, what's wrong with me shaking my head?" ”
"When I didn't say it." Du Kebang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I want a copy of this issue of Next Magazine." ”
"Do you want an entertainment version or a current affairs version?" Uncle Xu asked.
"Entertainment version, of course." Duke Bond said.
Uncle Xu sighed and said: "This entertainment version will be sold out in a few days, and the current political version will sell a few copies in a month, and I won't be too lazy to enter next time." ”
At this time, the entertainment edition of Next Magazine had become the largest circulation of its kind in Taiwan, but the spun off current affairs edition was only barely profitable because it could not write about many things between the island and the mainland.
Duke took an entertainment edition of Next Magazine, asked for a newspaper, and brought some braised vegetables and beer with him when he returned.
When I returned home, I just opened the door and smelled the smell of stir-fried vegetables, and Yuan Ying was cooking in the kitchen.
As the president of Wang Zijun's largest singing club in Taipei, because some of the members of the club are the children of officials and wealthy businessmen, although Du Kebang did not deliberately cling to it, he also got into some relationships, and the small business became more and more prosperous, and he married Yuan Ying back home at the beginning of this year.
Yuan Ying cooked the meal and brought it out, but saw Du Kebang reading a magazine on the sofa, and said with a smile: "What is so good-looking, I don't know how to clean up the table after eating." ”
"I'm reading the comments on "East Wind Breaking" above, and you can come and take a look." Du Kebang said, "Music critics have a surprisingly high evaluation of Zijun's new album this time. ”
Both of them are fans of Wang Zijun, and Yuan Ying saw that her husband was looking good, so she also came over.
“…… I have to say that Wang Zijun's record today is very weird. There are three songs in Chinese, Cantonese and English, and the singer who can release the film like this is probably Wang Zijun alone, and it seems that only Zheng Zhenkun can tolerate Wang Zijun doing this. As a singer, I will definitely envy Wang Zijun for having such a good boss who is tolerant and trusting; And as the owner of a record company, he will definitely be jealous that Zheng Zhenkun has such a gold-absorbing monster who is proficient in creating, arranging, and singing......
Let's talk about the songs. For example, "Yellow" and "Happy Horses", one is a very lyrical British rock song, and the other is a very dynamic Cantonese rock saliva song, and it's hard to believe that they appear on the same album and the author and singer are the same person. Students, white-collar workers, or people who think they have some taste in listening to songs, I believe they will like the song "Yellow", lyrical, literary, with that kind of faint melancholy temperament, which makes people never get tired of listening to it.
And what about "Happy Horses"? If you look at the clothes of Ah Fei on the street now, you will know who likes it the most. Since the release of Wang Zijun's new record, Ah Fei and the cool young people have now begun to slowly eliminate the bell bottoms that they originally liked very much, and even risked being arrested by the youth group. Instead, the dress expressed in "Happy Horses" must be a gray shirt without buttoning the top buttons, pants that are fat and loose from the crotch to the trouser legs, and a plastic watch on the wrist......
Of course, this does not mean that the former will not listen to "Happy Horses", and the latter will not listen to "Yellow". This is the real magic of Wang Zijun, he conquered his audience with songs that were not unified with the original genre and audience. Those Ah Fei, even if they can't understand English, will occasionally listen to "Yellow" on the radio, and they look like they are enjoying themselves.
These are not the most important things, the essence of this record lies in the song "East Wind Breaks". As long as it is Chinese, no matter what age it is, when you first hear "East Wind Breaks", you have a feeling of amazement. At first glance at the name of "East Wind Break", the author was very surprised that Wang Zijun would use a word card as a song title. If you think about it carefully, it's not right, there is no word card "Dongfeng Po" in the word card. The east wind is cold, the drunk east wind, the drunk east wind, the east wind is together, the east wind blows the wine noodles, and the east wind is the first branch...... It's just that there is no east wind to break. Looking back, I realized that I was deceived by Wang Zijun, but I can hear such a wonderful Chinese song, and the author is willing to be deceived......",
Du Kebang and Yuan Ying hadn't finished reading the music review, so they couldn't help but take out the record player and put it into Wang Zijun's new record and listen to it.
If "Next Magazine" is boasted by people invited by Wang Zijun, then the article in Hong Kong's "Ming Pao Weekly" is more objective.
Yu Guangzhong is now a professor in the Department of Chinese at the University of Hong Kong Chinese, and Yu Guangzhong, who is only interested in writing poetry and composition, actually ran out to write a music review at this time. To be precise, this is not a competent music review, but more like a popular science academic article.
"Yesterday, my students in the Chinese department recommended a song to me, saying that the lyrics of this song have a poetic mood, and asked me if I had the word "East Wind Break".
This student still has a certain level of literacy in writing, and I know this very well. So after he recommended it, I was going to go to the video store and buy it back and listen carefully. When I got out of the university, I found that on the streets and alleys, every time I walked a while, I would hear this song, and the popularity was staggering.
When I got the lyrics, I had actually passively listened to the song countless times. Indeed, as my student said, the lyrics of this song have a poetic mood. Those who have experienced the war in the Republic of China must be more touched when they read the lyrics. I heard that this record sold very well, and I think some old people who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong and Taiwan played a big role, and this song will easily bring back their memories of the old days......
My students asked me if there was a word plate for "East Wind Breaking" in ancient times. The answer is no. Words, to put it in layman's terms, are popular songs in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the word card is a fixed tune of words. It's a pity that for various reasons, although the words have been handed down, the tune of the word plate has long been lost, so now we can only read the words, not sing the words.
The song is called "East Wind Breaks". There are many word cards about Dongfeng, and breaking is a way of writing words, that is, deliberately breaking the rhythm of the original word cards. The most typical ones are "Spreading the Huanxi Yarn" and "Magnolia Slow". To be more precise, the words have subtraction and stealing, although the melody of the words has a freeze frame, but when singing, the syllable rhyme can also be slightly increased or subtracted to make it beautiful. Add the sound of willow branches, spread the sand of the watering stream, which is increased; Minus the word magnolia, stealing the sound of magnolia, this is minus, from the perspective of music to take the name, increase is called adding sound, subtraction is called stealing sound. From the perspective of lyrics, the addition is called adding words, also known as spreading and breaking, and subtracting is called subtracting words.
The "break" of "Dongfeng Break" should be Qu Po, which refers to a kind of tone, and this kind of pipa music was prevalent in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Song Dynasty. Of course, although most scholars in later generations and even many of our Song Ci readers have classified it as a "word plate", in fact, "Dongfeng Po" is not a word card in the strict sense, it should be a word tone. The tone refers to the score of the word, and the name of the tune is called "pervasive", "preface", "song beginning", and "song break", all of which indicate that it is from the great song. The song is sung in a row with many songs. The first part of the grand song is the overture. The overture has a loose order and a middle order. After the middle order of the song (i.e., the whole song) is the ...... of the break"
Many people originally just liked to listen to "East Wind Breaking", but after reading the article in the afterglow, it suddenly dawned on me that there was so much to say about this song title. Although most people don't understand the technical terms such as word cards and tones, they still think they are very powerful.
As soon as the popular science article in the afterglow came out, Huang Zhan couldn't help it, and wrote an article to "Ming Pao". He combined traditional Chinese music with modern Western music, and analyzed the form of this song from a purely musical perspective, especially saying: "The song Dongfeng Po, as Mr. Yu Guangzhong said, is very close to the pipa music in the Song Dynasty and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but there is a new breakthrough in the arrangement. In addition to the performance of the erhu and pipa, Western violins, Western drums and other instruments are also incorporated. What is commendable is that these Eastern and Western instruments, in Wang Zijun's ingenious arrangement, are perfectly integrated, and there is no sense of being difficult for a strong man. This brings a benefit to the whole song, that is, it contains Chinese classical meaning at the same time, but also has modern pop elements, sounds catchy, and achieves the effect of elegance and vulgar appreciation, from this point of view, Wang Zijun has made a very big contribution and example for modern Chinese pop music. Due to the popularity of "East Wind Break", I believe that there will be many so-called 'Chinese style' songs for a long time to come......"
I have to say that Huang Zhan's vision is very powerful. Just two months later, several record companies in Taiwan followed suit, and at least one or two of their singers' new records were Chinese-style, as if they were embarrassed to release records without Chinese-style. ,
As for the quality, it's hard to say, fine and bad coexist, but most of them are defective, and one of the ten good ones is already rare. However, although it is a defective product, the fans who have just accepted this style of music actually buy the defective products very much, making these records sell well and making the boss of the record company smile from ear to ear.
As for those folk singers who eat in the folk song restaurant, they have a lot of criticism about Wang Zijun -- you guy has come up with modern folk songs, and we will rely on it to eat now, can you stop a little, and now you have a Chinese style, how can we keep up with your old man's footsteps
Looking at countless works that follow the trend, Wang Zijun doesn't know whether this situation is good or bad. The big tree of modern Chinese pop music, from the budding in the fifties and sixties, to the groundbreaking in the seventies, to the thriving growth of the pillars in the eighties and nineties, and then to the blossoming of a hundred flowers after 2000, it has developed slowly step by step. If you get out folk songs, Chinese rock, Chinese style, etc. in advance, is it considered to pull out seedlings to help them grow, or is it to kill chickens and take eggs and make the music scene chaotic?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Zijun came to a conclusion, that is, he didn't have that much energy. You alone can't block everyone's path. People have amazing creative ability, for example, Wang Zijun copied all the songs of an original singer, as long as that singer has strength and talent, he will definitely write other songs at that time. If one day there is a dilemma in the music world and the creative fatigue is exhausted, among the thousands of musicians, there will naturally be one or two geniuses who will break a new path.
The crazy sales of Wang Zijun's records, people have become numb, and when the records were released in Southeast Asia, they caused a sensation again. Last year, the record of the same name of Xu Guanwen's movie "Ghost Horse Double Star" sold more than 100,000 copies in Southeast Asia, and Wang Zijun's "East Wind Break" was even more terrifying, exceeding 200,000 copies in a short period of time, moving towards 300,000 data.
I have to say that for Wang Zijun's love for this record, fans in Southeast Asia are even more fanatical. In fact, one of the biggest reasons why Wang Zijun persuaded Zheng Zhenkun to release the film was that whether it is English songs, Chinese and Cantonese, they are all eaten in Southeast Asia, and fans in Southeast Asia are not exclusive to these three languages. In the final analysis, Wang Zijun's record has four songs in each of the three languages, which is largely tailored for fans in Southeast Asia.
At this time, the Southeast Asian market for Chinese music is larger than that of Taiwan and Hong Kong, and there are not many local singers in Southeast Asia who have strength, so it has become a place for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to fight junglers and brush gold coins.
Just when the record was selling well, the later stages of "The Legend of the New White Lady" were in intense production. Wang Zijun took advantage of his free time to go to the United States, first, to see Lin Fengjiao and his son, second, MITS finally got a new type of personal computer, and third, in order to prepare a new film, he went to the United States to personally invite Irushandu, although Bruce Lee helped, but in order to show his sincerity, Wang Zijun still decided to go over and invite him in person.
By the time we arrived in Los Angeles, it was almost dark.
As soon as Wang Zijun got out of the car, he saw Lin Fengjiao standing at the door with her son in her arms and smiling at him.
kissed Lin Fengjiao, Wang Zijun took his son and asked with a smile: "Little guy, do you think I have it?" ”
"Woo wow wow...... "I haven't seen him for a few months, the little guy has long forgotten him, and as soon as he takes over, he cried a lot, Wang Zijun hurriedly returned him to his mother.
"Do you want to eat? It's all set. Lin Fengjiao said.
"No, I ate it on the plane. I was a little tired after more than ten hours on the plane, so I went to take a shower first. Wang Zijun said.
Lin Fengjiao handed over the child to the nurse and went back to the room to help Wang Zijun find clean clothes.
After taking a shower, when she returned to the bedroom, Wang Zijun saw Lin Fengjiao wearing a sexy silk pajamas, leaning on the bed to coax the child to sleep. After Wang Zijun entered the room, Lin Fengjiao smiled and threw a wink.
Wang Zijun climbed into bed, and when he saw the little guy sucking on the rubber pacifier and sleeping fragrantly, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his little face. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped by Lin Fengjiao and whispered, "Don't wake up, otherwise you won't be able to sleep." ”
Wang Zijun said: "Give the child to the nurse at night, don't exhaust yourself." ”
Lin Fengjiao gently put her son into the crib next to her and said, "Of course your son has to bring it by yourself, otherwise when you grow up, you will only recognize the wet nurse and not your own mother." ”
"What does he know when a child is so young?" Wang Zijun said and pulled Lin Fengjiao into his arms, played with her chests that were fuller than before, and asked, "It's bigger than before." ”,
Lin Fengjiao has not been in love with Wang Zijun for more than a year since she was pregnant, and her breasts have become more sensitive after giving birth, so she moaned unbearably after being rubbed by Wang Zijun a few times.
Wang Zijun saw that there was white milk on the cherry, and opened his mouth to suck it out of curiosity, but the entrance was not licked, but with a fishy smell, and commented: "It doesn't taste good, just add some sugar." ”
Lin Fengjiao was so blushing by his actions that she couldn't help laughing and scolding when she heard him say this: "It's not right, I actually grabbed milk with my son to drink." ”
Wang Zijun smiled and untied her silk nightgown, a perfect female carcass appeared in front of him, Wang Zijun couldn't help but stroke her waist and said: "It seems to be slimmer than before giving birth, and it is also a little slimmer, only the top is bigger." ”
Lin Fengjiao was praised and said proudly: "I exercise every day, and I insist on practicing yoga." I just gave birth to a child of more than 130 pounds, and I have become a big fat man, and I thought I couldn't recover, which scared me to death. ”
Wang Zijun touched all the way down and said, "It seems that the thighs are stronger than before." ”
"You try it" Lin Fengjiao ** has to say, she has not done * for more than a year, but she is more anxious than Wang Zijun. Turned over, knelt between Wang Zijun's legs, and lowered his head.
"Oh" Wang Zijun called out comfortably, Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi were not very enthusiastic about **, and they only reluctantly did it once when they were entangled by Wang Zijun. Only Lin Fengjiao is empathetic, I don't know if she deliberately pleases Wang Zijun or if she likes it and often serves him like this.
Wang Zijun leaned on the head of the bed, pressing Lin Fengjiao's head with his hand, enjoying indescribably comfortably.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The two of them were getting up when the little guy by the bed suddenly began to cry.
Lin Fengjiao raised her head and said, "It may be that the water is going to be released." ”
After speaking, he went to pee on the little guy, leaving the angry little brother under Wang Zijun alone, Wang Zijun sighed helplessly.
By the time Lin Fengjiao coaxed the child to sleep again, more than half an hour had passed, and Wang Zijun had already fallen asleep because of the fatigue of a long flight.
Lin Fengjiao didn't let him go, and continued to play with him, waking Wang Zijun up in a few clicks. She smiled shyly at Wang Zijun, got up and sat down by herself.
"Ah" Lin Fengjiao gasped, and the long-standing emptiness was finally filled.
