348 [Chinese Soul]
The fans who came to the concert were about to go crazy, and in just over half an hour, they not only enjoyed the perfect song and dance, but also heard five new songs by Wang Zijun.
It's definitely a new song, I haven't heard any singer sing it, even Wang Zijun himself has never sung it before.
Oh my God, which singer would do that? The record plan has not yet been announced, but the new song was actually sung at the concert.
"Hey, why does Wang Zijun only sing English songs for so long?" Li Weiling said strangely that she prefers to listen to Wang Zijun's Chinese songs in comparison.
Cai Anqian shook her body to the beat of the song and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the English song?" As long as Zijun sings well, it is good. ”
"Thank you, thank you again to the dancers of our Cloud Gate Dance Troupe." Wang Zijun said, "Everyone applauded and saw them off. ”
The audience immediately erupted in applause, and Wang Zijun repeatedly mentioned the name of the Cloud Gate Dance Troupe several times, which has already made fans remember this modern dance troupe.
This is also the agreement between Wang Zijun and Lin Huaimin, in fact, this time the Cloud Gate Dance Troupe came to participate in the performance for a very low fee, in addition to reimbursing the cost of food, accommodation and transportation, only need to give some subsidies and bonuses to the dancers. Li Huaimin did not collect a penny for the performance fee of the dance troupe, and in return, Wang Zijun helped the Cloud Gate Dance Troupe to promote and open up the Southeast Asian market.
Wang Zijun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly asked in Cantonese: "Everyone is tired of listening to English songs, right?" Fewer words"
"Ah" There were countless screams from the audience, and everyone knew that Wang Zijun was going to sing a Cantonese song.
"Today I invited a mysterious female guest," Wang Zijun asked with a smile, "Do you want to know who she is?" ”
"Teresa Teng"
"Yuya"
Jenny
"Lisa"
“……”
Fans shouted out a variety of answers, saying the names of their favorite female singers.
"Yes, please," Wang Zijun said, "I would like to invite our big singer in Singapore, Lisa, Miss Huang Huanchan>"
Huang Huanchan walked up to the stage with the microphone and beckoned down: "Hello everyone, I'm Lisa." ”
In Singapore's palm-sized place, even if the fans in the audience don't like to listen to Huang Huanchan's songs, they have definitely heard her name. Since it was a guest invited by Wang Zijun, everyone naturally did not hesitate to applaud.
"Thank you, thank you. I am very honored to be the guest of Zijun's concert today, and I have been touched by many international stars. Huang Huanchan said with a smile, she was also telling the truth, and her coming over today would be of great help to her fame.
"Next, please enjoy the song "Lovesick Tears" brought by Miss Huang >," Wang Zijun wiped his sweat again, "I'm tired, I'll rest for a while." ”
In the good-natured laughter of fans, Wang Zijun retreated backstage, and Huang Huanchan's singing also sounded.
"Don't go to the lover, the descendants are emaciated,
Lovesick parting makes people sad,
Unforgettable old days,
Patience to abandon negative feelings without saying the reason
……”
"Lovesick Tears" is a very old Cantonese song, Teresa Teng also covered it later, but it was Huang Huanchan who was really the first to sing it. Huang Huanchan's singing voice and Teresa Teng have their own merits, the biggest feature is that the words are clear and there is a kind of nostalgic tenderness, but Teresa Teng sings with new ideas and her own style.
Huang Huanchan sang a song and sang it to the end, Wang Zijun had already changed his costume and sang a song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" with Huang Huanchan, and Huang Huanchan waved and left.
"Shhhh
The fans were puzzled, but they all calmed down, staring at Wang Zijun to see what he would do next.
"Boom Boom"
On each side of the stage, a team of dancers wearing raincoats and rain boots came out, walking like an army, and finally gathered behind Wang Zijun to stand.
Wang Zijun suddenly took off the knee-length windbreaker he had just changed, and inside was a shirt jacket, which was not buttoned properly, revealing a strong chest, a pair of loose crotch pants underneath, and a pair of Martin boots on his feet.
This dress looks like a street gangster, but it is much more tasteful than the gangsters, and the current gangsters don't have this dress.
"Drink" Wang Zijun snapped his fingers and roared, "Happy Horse"
It is Andy Lau's famous "Happy Horse".
When the music sounded, the break dance team led by Zhang Renkui and Zhang Renyong brothers suddenly stepped in unison, and when Wang Zijun's singing sounded, the originally serious steps suddenly became cheerful.
"Purple interlacing, gray shirt, T-shirt orange rain building; ,
The mind is laissez-faire, and the clothes are even more important, and there is no need to button more.
The shirt is loose and the pants are large, the rubber table is strapped, and the cloth bag with the drawstring is drawn;
The street is beating, happy and happy, and the colorful horses ......"
You can't say how classic the lyrics of "Happy Horse" are, nor how chic his tunes are, but they are definitely pop enough, lighthearted, catchy, and even more infectious with dance.
The cheerful rhythm, unique singing, and rhythmic dancing immediately resonated with the fans, who couldn't wait to jump with the performers on stage.
What's even more shameless is that Wang Zijun is holding the microphone in his hand, and his dance moves are naturally not as big as others, but the movements he does are all plagiarized from Michael. Jackson, the amazing pace of space stunned the fans in the audience.
"Crazy, crazy" A Malaysian reporter forgot to take pictures, and only stupidly watched Wang Zijun singing and dancing there.
This reporter is not crazy, the young people in their teens and twenties among the fans are crazy. In their eyes, this song and this dance are so cool, they just hate that there are people crowded around them at the moment, and they can't immediately learn to dance.
After singing the song "Shh", Wang Zijun smiled again to make everyone quiet, and then suddenly shouted, "Red Sun"
"Oh" In the cries of the fans, the music exploded again, pushing the whole concert to a climax.
This time, the Cantonese song section is longer than the previous English songs, sometimes full of blood, sometimes soothing and tender, Wang Zijun has been leading the emotions of fans from beginning to end.
"This time I may have to leave for a little longer, and I will introduce you to a group of cute children." Wang Zijun said, and a group of cute children ran over.
The closest to Wang Zijun is Wang Zuxian, the little girl just turned eight years old, was picked up by Wang Zijun, and then asked the fans: "Do you know her?" ”
"Ami, she is Ami", someone suddenly called out the role played by Wang Zuxian in "If the Wine Is Dry".
Wang Zijun said to Wang Zuxian: "***, you introduce yourself to me." ”
Wang Zuxian looked at the black head under the field, and was not afraid, and said: "My name is Wang Zuxian, I live in Taipei, and I am eight years old this year. ”
"Well, good behave, come, kiss the big brother." Wang Zijun turned his face over.
"Don't," Wang Zuxian stretched out his little hand to push his head away, "Your face is full of sweat, dirty, so I don't want to kiss you." ”
"Hahaha" Wang Zuxian's voice spread throughout the theater with the help of the microphone, causing a burst of laughter.
Wang Zijun was speechless for a while, and many female fans below shouted: "I'll kiss, I'll kiss ......"
The staff brought up more than a dozen desks, and a book was placed on each desk, Wang Zijun put Wang Zuxian on a desk and sat down, and then left the stage alone.
The lights suddenly turned on, and more than a dozen children picked up their books and began to recite in unison:
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"
"Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say ......"
"The bright moonlight in front of the window is suspected to be frost ...... on the ground"
This simple ancient text is a must-read for Chinese of a little age in Southeast Asia, but for teenagers, it is a bit distant, and at most the elders of the family let them read it at home. Over the years, Chinese education has been suppressed throughout Southeast Asia, and such books are not allowed to appear in schools.
Of course, it's just that it's not allowed to be taught in schools, and it's okay to see for yourself, and it's not yet to the point where the Four Books and the Five Classics have been reduced to banned books -- except for Indonesia, which plays Tuhua.
The childish voice sounded, and many people remembered the situation when their parents or teachers forced them to read ancient Chinese when they were children, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Out of school"
Suddenly, a narration sounds.
The children who were still reading quietly suddenly became noisy, some honestly packed their school bags, and some threw away the books, jumped on the table, and played with each other, fighting cocks, guessing, clapping, turning heels, and soon made the stage jump.
"Hahaha......" Looking at the smoky stage and those innocent children, fans couldn't help but laugh.
Just as the fans laughed, the lights on the stage suddenly went black. Not long after, there was a sudden sound of tinkling in the darkness.
When the lights came on again, fans were surprised to find that Wang Zijun was wearing a right shirt at this time, dressed as a scholar of the Republic of China, sitting there, holding an erhu in his arms.
Next to Wang Zijun, there was a classical beauty dressed in a cheongsam and holding a pipa in her arms.
On the stage, there are also some bookcases, bookcases, doors, walls, oil lamps, four treasures of the study, etc., as well as a man and a woman, who are cherishing other Republic of China couples. ,
Wang Zijun pulled the erhu and opened his mouth to sing:
"A light of sorrow, standing alone in the window;
I'm behind the door, pretending you're not gone.
If the old land is revisited, the full moon is more lonely;
The candle flame that wakes up in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me......"
When Wang Zijun spit out a few words of lyrics, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamations. Among those over the age of 30, some of them did not grow up reciting ancient texts, and the traditional meaning in the lyrics was as refreshing as the iced sour plum soup on dog days.
The soundtrack of the whole song is mostly played by erhu and pipa, which looks antique, but the occasional drum beat has a bit of rock and pop flavor. The combination of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign music seems so natural and harmonious, as if listening to traditional classical songs and modern pop songs at the same time.
In the box on the second floor, a middle-aged man's cigar in his hand had burned to the end without noticing, and he didn't jump in pain until it burned his hand.
This man's name is Li Zhenhua, and he is the boss of Huang Huanchan's Singapore record company.
Li Zhenhua and Zheng Zhenkun are good friends, and Wang Zijun, a big Taiwanese singer, came to Singapore for a concert, so he naturally had to greet him well. And Huang Huanchan came to be Wang Zijun's concert guest, which was also the first to be proposed by him.
At this time, Huang Huanchan, who had finished singing, also came to Li Zhenhua's side, and hurriedly picked up the cigar that was still burning on the ground and pressed it out.
"Lisa, do you know the name of this song?" Li Zhenhua asked.
Huang Huanchan shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”
Li Zhenhua exclaimed: "Genius, what a genius." Integrating the ancient and modern, learning from China and the West, a rare genius singer, if I had a daughter, I would have to force him to join the family. Only Brother Zheng will hold a concert so well by his temperament, singing nearly ten new songs that have not been released in one breath. ”
Huang Huanchan smiled: "The most annoying thing is that when he introduced himself, he always said that he was a director, not a singer." I think he's writing and singing as an amateur hobby. ”
“…… Violent and ruined, it's really a waste of such a good talent" Li Zhenhua held back for a long time, and finally made such an evaluation, but when he heard Wang Zijun's singer, he couldn't help but knock on the arm of the chair with his hand, and his mouth sang softly:
“…… Who is playing on the lute, a song of the east wind breaking;
The years peeled off on the wall, seen as a child.
I still remember when we were all very young,
And now the sound of the piano is faint, and you haven't heard my waiting
……”
Wang Zijun sings this Chinese style, not to show how strong his creative power is, but to promote Chinese culture. Edutainment, sometimes the promotion of culture, songs, novels, movies, games, etc., is more effective than orthodox education.
Why is the sense of identity of the Chinese so strong, and why do the older generation of overseas Chinese always remember the motherland and want to return to their roots?
At this time, Singapore also stood the Memorial to the Victims of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, which commemorates the innocent victims of the Japanese army in the Singapore Massacre. The most direct reason for the massacre carried out by the Japanese army in Singapore was that the overseas Chinese in Singapore contacted compatriots from all over Southeast Asia to donate money for the anti-Japanese war of the motherland, and formed the Singapore Volunteer Army to go to the national disaster to support the anti-Japanese resistance.
Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" and said: "If Yi Di enters China, then China will be Chinese, and if China enters Yi Di, then Yi Di will be Yi Di."
The words of Sage Confucius directly illustrate the inclusiveness and centripetal force of Chinese culture.
The Chinese nation is not simply based on blood and race, but is divided by cultural identity. From the point of view of Sage Kong, whether it is black or white, as long as he learns Chinese culture and identifies with Chinese culture, then he is a Chinese; And born in China, grew up in China, but is yellow-skinned and white-hearted, thinking that European and American culture is the essence and Chinese culture is the scum, then he is a foreigner.
This is Great China, a culturally Great Chinese nation. This is the foundation of Chinese civilization that has endured for thousands of years, no matter which ethnic minority occupies Chinese territory, as long as he identifies with Chinese culture, he will eventually be assimilated into Chinese.
Of course, "East Wind Break" cannot represent Chinese culture, but it can be combined with Wang Zijun's fame, so that people who like it gradually become interested in traditional Chinese culture, and then contact her, understand her, and finally fall in love with her charm.
If Chinese films want to go out, Chinese culture must go out and be recognized by others. One of the biggest reasons why American Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world, in addition to its complete system, is that since World War II, American culture has been actively or forcibly accepted and recognized by local people with its military around the world - such as Japan, South Korea, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, ......
People everywhere are proud to watch American movies and learn American culture, and their movies will naturally sell well.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Perfect, called perfect
A beautiful concert, a feast for the eyes and ears......
This is the evaluation of Wang Zijun's concert by the Southeast Asian media, if it weren't for the fact that these media had signed a certain confidentiality agreement with Haishan Records, they would probably praise them one by one.
The concert in Singapore lasted for three days, and the news that Wang Zijun was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards finally came, which immediately pushed Wang Zijun's fame in Southeast Asia to the highest peak, as if he didn't know Wang Zijun and didn't deserve to say that he was Chinese.
In particular, the song called "East Wind Breaking" was blown by the fans who watched the concert, and countless people wanted to buy a record about Wang Zijun's new song.
Just when Wang Zijun was about to leave Singapore, the song Dongfeng Po finally began to be played on the radio channel of Singapore Radio and Television.
For a time, almost every Chinese household listened to this song, setting a record for the highest listening rate of the radio station.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In front of the Singapore Peace Monument, Wang Zijun silently looked at the towering monument, suddenly took off his sunglasses, bent down and bowed four times.
Li Jinghao couldn't figure out why Wang Zijun did this, he felt that his boss was always Shinto, like a mystery that could never be solved, and people couldn't guess it.
Wang Zuxian, who was standing beside Wang Zijun, looked up at him suspiciously, and asked, "Wang Zijun, why are you bowing?" ”
"Don't call me by name again, do you want to let my big brother know?" Wang Zijun picked up the little girl, looked at the monument and said, "There are some people buried there who are worthy of admiration and remembrance." ”
Wang Zijun returned to the car with Wang Zuxian in his arms, but what he was thinking about was when to go to Papua New Guinea. The bones of the "800 Heroes" who guarded the Sixing Warehouse in Shanghai, the China-Burma Expeditionary Force and the New Fourth Army are lying there. They were all captured by the Japanese army, transported to Papua New Guinea to work as laborers, and finally died in other places.
It was not until 2008 that the Chinese who traveled to Papua New Guinea accidentally discovered the heroic bones, and finally escorted the hero's remains back to China.
