Chapter 201: "The River Flows 1952"
The next day, after Lin Ye's "Changjin Lake" crew finished work in the evening, Teacher Gong Linna and her husband Lao Gong arrived as scheduled.
Lin Ye took them to the recording studio that had been rented in advance and started working directly.
After reading the lyrics, Teacher Gong Linna didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing her reaction like this, Lin Ye was a little apprehensive......
"How?"
Gong Linna looked at Lin Ye and said excitedly: "You wrote this?" ”
Lin Ye nodded and admitted, "Well, I wrote it." ”
I wrote it in the first place, my pen, my hand, word by word, isn't that what I wrote?
"It's so well written, it fits the original song of the river flowing very well, but you said you want to sing these words in the form of rap?"
Lin Ye explained: "Well, the audience for folk songs is small, and I think if it is combined with rap music, it may be more popular with young people; And the current rap is either showing off wealth or scolding, I think such lyrics and themes are matched with the melody of our folk songs, and there should be no such music in the Chinese music scene. ”
This pie is so big!
Teacher Gong Linna listened, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she was very willing to do something that no one had done before, just like when her song "Nervous" was born!
"Great, I want to hear you sing it!"
Not only her, but Zhao Liying also wants to hear it, what does it feel like for Lin Ye to sing and rap?
Lin Ye didn't say a word, and walked into the recording studio with the lyrics.
The accompaniment sounded slowly, it was "Little River Flowing Water" sung by Teacher Gong Linna before......
Lin Ye took the original song as the beginning and directly used it in the new song.
"Little River Flowing Water" is a world-famous song that "flows" from the deep mountains.
The song was written in the spring of 1947, in the valley of Taiji Mountain, starting with a century-old osmanthus tree, a stream winds down under the shade of rhododendrons, pine cedars and purple-stemmed zealand grass.
After the stream flows out of the mountain pass, at the southern end of Mizhi Town, the Yaxi River meets the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and meets a beautiful singing.
In those days, the horse gang of "Walking Yifang" carried silk and tea, and when passing through the post station of Midu, people entered the inn and entered the stable.
They came humming all kinds of songs and telling all kinds of stories as they went.
I don't know what year and month it was, a woman on Wensheng Street in Mizhi fell in love with a young man in the horse gang, and the two made a private contract for life, swearing an alliance.
The caravan departed and turned back, but the young man was missing.
The "Ma Guo Tou" (the leader of the horse gang) told the woman that the young man had married in Burma and would not return to China, and the woman did not believe it......
Year after year, the woman waited bitterly.
The "Ma Guotou" returned to Wensheng Street on the way back, and saw that the woman was infatuated, and finally told the truth: the young man bought a jade bracelet in Myanmar and was going to give it to the woman as a love gift.
Walking in the deep mountains, the young man was not careful, and dropped the jade bracelet to the bottom of the cliff......
The author, Yin Yigong, created this song after hearing a touching story.
In this way, a small river flowing from the depths of Taiji Mountain flows into the sea of art.
It has a calm and free rhythm, a fresh and beautiful melody that rears and falls.
"Hey~~~"
Teacher Gong Linna's nightingale-like singing sounded.
"The moon comes out bright, bright~"
"I think of my brother in the mountains~"
"Brother walks in the sky like the moon, walks in the sky~"
"Brother~Brother~Brother~Ah~"
"The small river under the mountain is flowing water, clear and leisurely~"
The emotions of the original CD are extremely gentle, and just listening to these soft chants seems to be able to see the quiet night of the moonlit night.
Lin Ye opened his mouth and read out the first rap lyrics: "The autumn curtain of 1951 is still not yet ready to set foot on the way home." ”
"When I triumph in the future, I hope my sister can continue to teach me art."
"The team is now striding north, and we don't have cold clothes on us."
"The geese in the sky seem to be afraid, and the ghost army keeps pounced on the south."
"The scout said that the snow-capped mountain was full of guns and tanks, and I already had a thousand worries in my heart."
"I remember when my sister was young, she asked me why she didn't choose to be a guest when joining the army was so bumpy?"
Lin Ye's voice was as smooth as water, and he didn't even use any rapping skills, just read it flat and straightforwardly, like reading a letter......
But it's such a plain rap, but it can hit people's resonance nerves in every word of the lyrics!
"The man has been poor since he was a child, and he knows very well how difficult peace is to come by today, if it is not for the people's army, how can the family have money to burn firewood and cook rice."
"At the bottom of the valley, I often dream that my sister is singing, with a smile on her face, like a crescent moon..."
"So I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the incendiary bomb that smashed into North Korea will tear open the clouds of my hometown tomorrow."
"Every time I think of this, my tears can't stop flowing."
"The man is bound to use my life and flesh to protect your singing voice."
After the end of the first section of Lin Ye, the sister from the deep mountains, from his hometown, and from Huaxia came from the air: "The moon comes out bright and bright ~ bright ~ ah ~"
This is the result of Lin Ye's adaptation, the two people in the song are in a foreign country, but they can echo each other in a song.
When I listened to the first time, I just thought it sounded good.
When listening to Teacher Gong Linna's chanting for the second time, it felt so good!
It's just that every time you can only hear a sentence after Lin Ye sings a paragraph, which makes people want to stop......
Lin Ye continued his part: "I have just been done with a simple operation, and when the way back comes, I may have to rely on Ziming to carry me on the road." ”
"My big man couldn't stop crying today, and the instructor died like this."
"Stained blood in the wind in front of me."
"At that moment, the queue that rushed up the hill was a hundred times more crowded than usual, because the instructor's aftermath was still singing in every inch of the air around him."
"There has never been a savior, and it doesn't depend on the Immortal Emperor!"
"I forgot all those bullet holes and pain in my body in an instant!"
"The man was a confused soldier, and he never thought about fighting for anyone, until I saw the Korean people, moaning in sorrow and suffering......"
"And the new China has just been born with some peace, and I can't help but understand what burden I have on my shoulders......"
"Yes, the light of the red star will surely illuminate the whole valley, and then I will put on that big red flower and roll down the window to see that there must be a sister singing for me under the moon by the Erhai Lake in the distance!"
A confused soldier, from not knowing why he fights, to knowing why he is fighting, such a change is conveyed in the inner perspective of 'brother' in the song, and 'brother' represents all the good men who defended their families and defended the country and sacrificed themselves for the country.
Lin Ye's rap also became rapid, and in the song where the tense atmosphere continued, people wondered what the final ending would be?
Will the war be won?
Will brother and sister see each other again?
No one gave an answer, only a heartbroken song fluttering in the wind: "The moon comes out bright and bright ~ ah~"
At this point, Lin Ye stopped, signaling the recording teacher to pause the accompaniment as well.
"How's it going, Mr. Gong?"
Including Gong Linna, her husband Lao Gong and Zhao Liying, they were all so moved that they couldn't speak......
