Chapter 199: Concert

Although the song "Night Fragrance" does not match the heaviness of the times, or even goes against it, just as the earth can bloom delicate flowers after being nourished by corpses, this kind of beautiful sound in Li Xianglan's singing makes people have a thrilling illusion and the illusion of preferring to be immersed in the song.

In 1944, when Li Xianglan had just sung the song "Fragrance in the Night" in Shanghai, the upper echelons of the Japanese military department, after listening to it, felt that this song was too gorgeous and soft, and did not conform to the iron-blooded style of the Japanese army, and it was easy to corrode the minds of soldiers, so they banned this song for a while. However, the more cruel life is, the more the human spirit needs to be soothed. This "Night Fragrance" quickly spread in Shanghai, and the recorded record was sold out in just a few days. The Japanese simply can't help it.

And Li Xianglan is the leading cultural invasion tool of the Japanese, and the Japanese no longer banned Li Xianglan's song after discovering that it was so attractive to the Chinese. With this song, Li Xianglan achieved the status of the queen of the song in one fell swoop, and left her name in history with this song.

Of course, the entanglement about "Night Fragrance" did not end here, and the time when this song was born was too inappropriate. In the artistic conception of the song, there is a beautiful woman, alone in the deep night of the moon, the birds are hazy, and the curtains are red with begonias. A low singing naturally makes people's souls disappear. Although this kind of artistic conception creation is indeed the pinnacle of artistic achievement, it is precisely because it is so moving that after the defeat of Japan and the departure of China, this song is also regarded as a beautiful sound that will anesthetize people's hearts and corrode the mind. Moreover, it was forbidden until the 80s of the later generations.

It wasn't until Teresa Teng's voice resounded all over China in later generations that this song "Night Fragrance" was mixed with many light songs and dances and sung in China again. Most of the "Night Fragrance" listened to by later generations is not the original version of Li Xianglan, but the cover version of Teresa Teng.

Li Xianglan's song is sung. Let the audience be fascinated by the singing. In this era, there are no computers and MP3s, and the easiest music playback equipment is the record player, but this record player is not something that ordinary people can afford. Most people, on weekdays, don't have the opportunity to listen to music regularly. So, the music is extremely infectious. It is completely different from the people of later generations, as long as you turn on the computer. You can hear thousands of songs, and your tastes are becoming more and more discerning. If it weren't for your own dish, you wouldn't even have a reaction.

After a song, applause rang out. Li Xianglan bowed to the audience and thanked her. In fact, for a person like her, who grew up in China and has a deep affection for China, it is most appropriate to sing some songs that have nothing to do with the current situation and the confrontation between the two countries. Of course, with Li Xianglan's temperament, it doesn't stop at the wind and snow. What she wanted to do the most. It is to stop the war between China and Japan, but he can't help himself, so he is not so pure anti-war person.

The first song is sung. Li Xianglan sang about the "Walking on the Road of Life" that she got from Ye Wuguang and shocked the audience at her first concert. The rhyme of this song was originally a yearning for peace and anti-war. After singing it that year, it was naturally disgusted by the people in the Japanese military department, so that it didn't even produce a record.

But. Today, unlike in the past, the Japanese soldiers did not know, but the Japanese high-ranking officers knew that Japan would lose the battle. After the wild faith in the emperor passed, when I think about it, it is an extremely sad situation. After several years of war and attrition, Japan is now a barren country. Come to think of it, after Japan's defeat in World War II, the emperor will still be the emperor, and the zaibatsu will still be zaibatsu, but others, including some middle- and upper-level officers, will not only be in danger of becoming war criminals and being implicated, but will also have nothing. So why did this war come about?

Consciously or unconsciously, war-weariness and anti-war sentiment have grown in the upper echelons of the Japanese military. Therefore, when Li Xianglan was in the mood to give it a try and added "Walking on the Road of Life" to the program list, she was not criticized and reviewed by the Japanese military department.

"Although the road by your side is far from tired, accompany you to wander one after another, cross the peak and the other peak but do not see, the goal is far away so that the ideal is always in front!

The road is rugged and not afraid of being tempered, and I hope that the pain and happiness of my life will also be experienced! Happy and sad around you and around, enjoy the snow in the wind and enjoy the flowers in the fog and enjoy the happy whirl! โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Of course, after Li Xianglan knew that her former lover was lost in the Pacific Theater, her strength against the war would definitely not stop at the level of singing "Walking on the Road of Life" last time. Li Xianglan tried her best to ask for the book that recorded various songs in later generations that she had left for the rest of her life from Ye Wuguang. Of course, Ye Wuguang also followed the instructions of the rest of his life, and after Li Xianglan played tricks and begged for permission in every way, he gave the book to Li Xianglan along the water. In exchange for Li Xianglan's excitement, she gave a light peck on her face.

After Li Xianglan sang "Walking on the Road of Life", the third song went straight to the theme. It is the "famous song" brought by the rest of his life from later generations - "Sad Pacific"!

In fact, this song is not so piercing in later generations, it is just one of thousands of pop songs, but no matter what literary and artistic work, whether it is a novel, music, or movie, once the background of the times changes, it will have an interpretation and rhyme that is completely different from the original meaning of the author's narrative. Just as a song by a woman Sichun's "Night Fragrance" will be interpreted as a glamour sound that corrodes the mind, the later song "Sad Pacific", in this era, appeared when the Japanese were losing in the Pacific War, which was simply a slap in the face to the Japanese!

Of course, when Li Xianglan and Ye Wuguang joined the singing repertoire and applied for this song, the interpretation of the lyrics was "for the heroic soul of the jade broken in the Pacific Battlefield"!

"Is it really cruel to leave? Or meekness is shameful! Or lonely people don't matter, no day, no night, no conditions! Is the front really dangerous? Or is betrayal thoughtful? Or it's easier to escape! Wind and wind and wind and sand! One step forward is dusk, and one step back is life. The wind is uneven, the waves are not quiet, and the heart is still unstable. An island locks up a person! โ€

"The ship I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and the people I'm waiting for don't understand yet. Loneliness silently sank into the sea, the future is not there I am still there! If the tide goes to the heart, you will go, if the tide comes, you will not come! The ups and downs of the past come up, and the memories come back that you are no longer there! A wave has not subsided, another wave is coming, and the vast sea of people is stormy! It's too late for a wave, a wave has long passed, and a lifetime is like waking up from a dream! Deep in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, deeply sad! Deep in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, deeply sad! โ€

Although Ye Wuguang and Li Xianglan interpreted the lyrics of this song perfectly when they applied, as if they were harmless at all. But. For an audience, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. Naturally, it will not be understood according to the seemingly perfect interpretation of two people. Naturally, the interpretation of "bias" is made.

The words, "Is it really cruel to leave?" What does that mean? If it weren't for the fact that people couldn't come back and died on the battlefield, what could be called cruel? The Japanese were losing ground in the Pacific theater, the Americans had superior forces and attacked again and again, and after the brutal battle for the islands, the mortality rate of Japanese soldiers was not ordinarily high. And none of these soldiers are not involved in a family in Japan! Although it is said to be loyal to the emperor, it is said to have faith. However, life and death are almost the bottom line of people, how can there be no reason not to be sad and resentful?

Therefore, the words in the song, such as "cruel", "lonely", "gentle and shameful", "easy to escape", etc., are all touching. In the eyes of the audience, this was simply a direct rebuke to the Japanese army for the heavy casualties of the Pacific War.

Wait for Li Xianglan to sing, "The boat I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and the people I'm waiting for don't understand yet." Loneliness silently sank into the sea, the future is not there I am still there! If the tide goes away, the heart also goes. If the tide comes, you won't come! The ups and downs of the past come up, and the memories come back that you are no longer there! At that time, the audience in the audience almost affirmed the protagonist of the lyrics. She is a woman in Japan who is waiting for her lover and husband. It's just that her husband has already died on the battlefield, so he can't wait for a long time. Its artistic conception is similar to that in Tang poems, "poor and uncertain riverside bones." It's like a person in a spring boudoir dream" is almost exactly the same.

There is a huge gap between the softness of dreams and the desolation of life and death, which makes people's hearts collapse. When the song "Sad Pacific" sang to the end, "Deep Pacific Bottom Deep Sadness", the audience in the audience. Most of them cried! For normal people, it is impossible to run to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to be sad, and the sad protagonist can only be a Japanese soldier who died in the Pacific Ocean and sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship! In this way, this "Sad Pacific", which was just a saliva song in later generations, has become a dialogue between lovers in "People and Ghosts", between life and death.

In the ears of these listeners, it is naturally poignant and spoignant, and it hurts the liver and intestines.

Moreover, the tune of this "Sad Pacific" is also particularly in line with the Japanese aesthetic concept. This song was originally written by the talented Japanese girl Miyuki Nakajima in later generations, and later, the lyrics were written by the Chinese and covered by Ren Xianqi. It became popular in China. Therefore, this melodious and somewhat bleak tune is especially in line with the aesthetics of the Japanese at this time.

The sorrow in the music is first between lovers, one waiting for another, and then extending from one person to a group of people. This group of people lost loved ones in the war. Therefore, when it sounds like a melody in Japan, it is also mournful for a long time.

After a song, the applause was sparse. Below the stands were weeping and whimpering. Even in the war, the Japanese, who did not lose their loved ones, were saddened by their injuries. And when Li Xianglan was already singing, she burst into tears.

Of course, as a professional singer, Li Xianglan can still restrain her reverie in time. After a sad song of life and death, Li Xianglan turned to sing "City in the Sky", which is now more popular than "Night Fragrance". This song has no war, no parting, it is a pure teenage dream, and the dawn and morning light are the most suitable to soothe people's hearts.

Therefore, when the audience was in pain, their hearts were lost, and they were in pain and sorrow, they suddenly heard a trace of ethereal rhythm, which led them to the nine-fold clouds that fluttered lightly with the wind and went straight to the nine-fold clouds without any troubles - "ใ‚ใฎhorizon (ใกใธใ„ใ›ใ‚“) Hui (ใ‹ใŒใ‚„)ใใฎใฏ......"

And this ethereal and clear sound, like the evening drum and morning bell, the ancient temple chanting, when everyone's hearts are lost, straight into the heart. Li Xianglan only sang a few words, and the audience fell silent. Since then, all the Japanese who come to the concert today will never look at Li Xianglan differently. This woman, who understands their suffering, and brings them peace, is far more lovely than the emperor who threatens them with faith and loyalty, and needs their allegiance. After calming down, no matter how these people thought of Li Xianglan before, almost all of them became die-hard fans of Li Xianglan at this time.

In fact, whether it is a concert or other literary and artistic works, they all pay attention to relaxation. After experiencing the relaxation of "Sad Pacific" and "Castle in the Sky", the concert gradually became normal. Li Xianglan sang the songs "Selling Sugar Song" and "Quit Smoking Song", which became famous in "Forever Liufang", and then "Hate Not to Meet When You Are Not Married" and "Haiyan", which are famous for "Forever Liufang", and then "When You Hate to Meet When You Are Not Married" and "Haiyan".

As a person of this era, in fact, he is not very able to understand the concept of marriage and love in later generations, so he left Ye Wuguang for the rest of his life, and in the song that Ye Wuguang gave to Li Xianglan, Li Xianglan did not borrow it rashly. I only chose two songs that I thought I could understand. One is the track "Drifting Snow" by Chen Huixian in the later generations, and the other is the track "The World" by Faye Wong, the queen of heaven in the later generations.

Both of these songs are original by the Japanese. The Japanese name of "Drifting Snow" is "Hanasaki Travel", and its songwriter is Yoshisuke Kuwata, and his wife Yuko Hara is the original singer. In 1992, it was covered by Chen Huixian. Most of the songs sung by Chen Huixian are not original, but this singer's understanding of songs is obviously extraordinary, whether it is his cover of "Drifting Snow", or "Moon" and "Lonely Back", its charm all exceeds the original song. And the song "Drifting Snow", because of its unique lyrics, makes the work look new.

Although the tune is still the same as the original, the charm is completely different and superior. What was left for the rest of his life was a cover version of Chen Huixian. Among them, the meaning of snow in the sky makes the Japanese people who have a lot of snow in their hometown feel nostalgic. actually sang a trace of homesickness - alone reminiscing about the years, maybe you won't understand it in this life. Thinking of you again, hugging the fluttering snow......

Faye Wong's "The World", the original is still Miyuki Nakajima, a talented Japanese girl. This woman is said to have a relationship with the Chi Army, who believed in Chinese thinking in later Japan. I don't know if it's a coincidence, the works left for the rest of my life are the most original works of this person. (To be continued.) )
