China Entertainment 1997

Chapter 246 I don’t dare to worry about my country despite my low status, even if no one knows about

Xiao family, living room

The disc was put into the warehouse and the TV started to play. Xiao Yu and her best friend ran back to the sofa and watched the TV expectantly.

Father Xiao was holding the teacup and crossing his legs, seemingly casual, but he was also looking at the TV.

The first song is "East Wind Breaks". Everyone has heard of this song, but this is the first time to see the MV.

The MV is very beautifully shot, and the plot and lyrics are probably very similar, probably about missing, parting, and reminiscing.

Cao Xuan deliberately made the shot a bit virtual, because this song does not refer to a specific story, but to output an emotion or emotion. Everyone has a different understanding of this, mainly listening to the song.

Therefore, Cao Xuan did not set a specific story for the MV. He made a short section through flashback editing. If you can put it together to understand it, it’s okay. If you can’t understand it, just follow your own ideas.

The same principle applies to "Blue and White Porcelain", but Blue and White Porcelain is more specific in that it highlights the sadness of parting.

To this end, the MV crew specially found a relatively more classical and exquisite scenic spot for Cao Xuan and Hu Jing to shoot, and also made some rain and fog scenes in conjunction.

What's more, the crew made a special trip to JDZ in Gan Province to record a blue and white porcelain production process based on the lyrics, and randomly edited it into the MV.

"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which turn from thick to light.

The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup

The glaze color renders the charm of the lady's picture and is hidden secretly

And your beautiful smile is like a bud waiting to bloom

The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you

Smoke curls up from the kitchen, thousands of miles across the river

The Han official script written on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty

Just think of me as a foreshadowing for meeting you

Plantains outside the curtain cause showers and door knockers cause patina

And I pissed you off when I passed by that Jiangnan town

The moonlight was salvaged and fainted, and the ending

Just like the blue and white porcelain handed down from ancient times, it takes care of its own beauty

You have a smile in your eyes..."

The song "Blue and White Porcelain" is hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese style. The tone is soft and lyrical, and the lyrics have an ultimate beauty.

In the hazy Jiangnan ink landscape, you can vaguely see a beautiful woman in white clothes and skirts, with flying skirts. The artistic conception and sense of picture that hit your face will make you intoxicated.

The words are like the bright moon shining among the pines, and the music is like the clear spring flowing over the rocks!

Father Xiao, who considers himself a semi-literate person, held his hands and praised: "This song is so beautifully written, and the blue and white porcelain is integrated into it, without any abruptness. I like this song "Blue and White Porcelain" better than "East Wind Breaks". "

Xiao Yu and her best friend didn't have so many exclamations, but they also thought it sounded very good. If Xiao's father hadn't been here, they would have shouted "fuck, awesome".

It seemed that Father Xiao really liked this song. After playing it once, he played it again and started listening to it twice more.

Xiao Yu didn't dare to resist, so she ran to the bedroom and took her lyric book, copying it in front of the TV and the gifted lyrics page.

Father Xiao glanced at it and rarely said anything about not doing his job properly. Instead, he nodded approvingly and said.

"Write me a copy later, and I'll show it to the people in the company."

"no problem?"

After playing "Blue and White Porcelain" twice, the three of them continued to listen to other songs. Although Father Xiao still appreciated it, he was no longer as excited as "Blue and White Porcelain".

A few people were listening when Xiao's mother came home and saw several people sitting in the living room listening to music. Before they could nag, Xiao's father was the first to give her Amway.

"Honey, I found a particularly nice song. It was written so well. Xiaoyu, please play "Blue and White Porcelain" to your mother."

Xiao Yu was obedient, and Xiao's mother was forced to listen to "Blue and White Porcelain" once in a daze. The three of them looked at her expectantly.

"How about it?"

"It's really good, the words are good, but I think the voice is even better. It's a bit like the boy in a white shirt who sat in front of the glass window at the back table when he was in school. It's very clean and refreshing."

"Yes, yes, my mother is right, that's what it feels like."

Xiao Yu and the two looked at Xiao's mother excitedly. Xiao's father kept praising her, but they always felt that the praise was not comprehensive, but they couldn't tell how it was not comprehensive.

When Xiao's mother mentioned it, they immediately understood that Cao Xuan was a good singer, and he deliberately matched the mood of the song. His singing was pure and clear, with a little bit of laziness, which made it very comfortable to listen to.

"Young man in white, why haven't I heard you say that?"

Father Xiao was a little annoyed, but Mother Xiao ignored her and sat down proudly amidst the compliments of her daughter and her daughter's best friend.

This cannot be said that Xiao’s father has a wrong understanding of the song, and even his views are the mainstream of most people.

However, Xiao's father's understanding could not penetrate the psychology of Xiao Yu and the other little girls and could not reach a consensus. Xiao's mother found another way and quickly reached an agreement with the two little girls.

Xiao Yu played some of the songs that she thought were better from this album and asked her mother to review them.

Different from Xiao's father who only loves "Blue and White Porcelain", Xiao's mother also thinks highly of "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow" and "Lanling Moon", and even prefers "Lanling Moon".

And she also found an interesting point. In "Lanling Moon", the last word of each line of the lyrics is all in rhyme, which is especially friendly to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Father Xiao was a little unhappy at being left out, and couldn't help but criticize: "Lanling is now a county in Linshi. Isn't Cao Xuan's hometown Zaoshi? It shouldn't be called "Lanling Month", but "Zaoshi Month" "."

"No, the Lanling in this song refers to Gulanling. Zaoshi was originally under the rule of Gulanling, so it is correct to say Lanlingyue."

Xiao Yu instinctively protects his idols, which was also the explanation Cao Xuan gave to some media.

Many people play the joke [Lanling = Zao City], which is correct or incorrect, because the area of ​​Gulanling is very large, and the area of ​​each dynasty is not necessarily the same.

Sometimes, Gulan Mausoleum includes parts of Zaoshi, Jishi, Linshi and other areas. Even Xu City in Jiangsu Province was also part of Gulan Mausoleum in certain periods of time.

So the Zao City is indeed a part of the Gulan Mausoleum, but the Gu Lan Mausoleum does not only represent the Zao City.

"Lanling Moon" is a reference. If you make fun of "Zaoshi Moon", you are ignoring the people in Linshi and other Gulanling areas.

If you want to summarize everything, it should be "Month of Southern Shandong and Part of Northern Jiangsu"...

………

The family was noisy, and the last song - "Chi Ling" was played on the TV.

Compared with the previous songs, the MV of this song is relatively more cinematic, and even has some lengthened intros.

At the very beginning of the MV, Cao Xuan is wearing a long gown from the Republic of China, with a slightly feminine and elegant temperament, and is slowly stroking his singing outfit in front of the mirror.

The camera flashed by, and the face on the mirror appeared again. This was a charming yet firm character.

At the same time, soothing and soft singing also sounded in the MV.

"When the play breaks, the sleeves rise and fall

Singing joys and sorrows, singing separation and union, it has nothing to do with me

The fan opens and closes, the gongs and drums sound and then fall silent

Love in the play, outside the play, who can tell?

…”

The people in front of the TV were a little confused and glanced at each other. Father Xiao asked hesitantly.

"Is this opera singer Cao Xuan?"

"Look at the facial features."

The makeup was too thick and the shot was a bit short, so Xiao Yu wasn't sure.

What's more, I can't connect the idol in my mind with the charming and beautiful "little sister" in front of the TV.

On the other hand, Xiao's mother felt good and complained that several people were ignorant and made a fuss.

"As for male actors, Zhang Guorong and Zun Long also played the role in "Farewell My Concubine" and "Madame Butterfly", but let alone Cao Xuan, he is quite handsome this way, not as good as those two."

While the people in front of the TV were still experiencing the shock, the plot of the MV was also constantly changing.

The female role played by Cao Xuan appeared on the stage of the Republic of China. With soft sleeves and graceful Kunqu opera, she told the joys and sorrows of the famous play "The Peach Blossom Fan", and the audience applauded.

"Has the habit of blending all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the ink

So what if the lyrics are sung through?

Bones and ashes are mine

…”

However, this peaceful scene did not last long. The family and country were shattered, and the mountains and rivers withered. How could they be spared.

Several scenes of war scenes flashed by, and the Japanese invaded the city. The translator asked the theater to perform a show for them, and pointed out the actor played by Cao Xuan to perform for them.

"In troubled times, duckweed endures to watch the flames of war burning mountains and rivers

In humble position, I dare not forget to worry about my country

Even if no one knows me

…”

Facing the extremely vicious Japanese, Cao Xuan smiled and did not refuse. He turned around and sat in front of the dressing table and traced his features.

At this moment, Hua Dan, who used to be soft and charming in the past, had all her fragility washed away, and her eyes looking into the mirror of the dressing table were full of peace.

It was night, the theater was brightly lit, and the Japanese were sitting under the stage, drinking and eating meat, chatting and laughing wildly.

Before Cao Xuan came on stage, he took one last look at the dressing table, turned around and stepped decisively onto the stage.

The curtain opens and gongs and drums sound.

Cao Xuan looked at the wolves, tigers, leopards, evil spirits and ferocious spirits in the audience, feeling unbearable sadness and anger, and the entire song behind the MV really reached its true climax.

The drama begins——

"People in the audience can't see the old colors when they walk by.

People on the stage sang a heartbreaking farewell song

It's hard to write the word "love" in ink

She sings and must be reconciled with blood

The curtain rises and the curtain falls, who is the guest?

…”

As soon as the high-pitched voice sounded like tearing silk and brocade, Father Xiao and the others in front of the TV. Suddenly, my scalp felt numb, and waves of cold air rushed up to Tianling Gai.

The emotions that I originally felt sad and angry because of the plot could no longer be suppressed and spewed out directly.

And as Cao Xuan sang the line again, "I dare not forget about my country even if I am humble, even if no one knows me."

In the MV, someone suddenly locked the door at the front and back of the theater, barrels of kerosene poured onto the theater, a raging fire broke out, and all the Japanese soldiers panicked and fled in panic.

On the stage, Cao Xuan still sang his own play unhurriedly, calmly and calmly, in sharp contrast to the Japanese soldiers who were scattered in the audience crying and scattering.

In the blazing flames, a humble actor who dared not forget his country died together with a group of invaders, and they both died together, performing the last heroic and poignant tragedy of troubled times.

Flames and ashes still stand in the faint figure on the stage. The last few lyrics of the "Chi Ling" MV are slowly spoken in a dramatic tone.

"Don't laugh at romance, don't laugh at people's absurdity

I have also asked about the youth and the yellow, and I have also sang about the rise and fall.

The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, how to think about it

The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, it takes a lot of thinking

…”

After singing the song, there was silence in the living room for a long time, except for the uncontrollable sobbing sounds of Xiao's mother and Xiao Yu.

Father Xiao didn't cry, but kept his head raised. When Xiao Yu planned to watch it again, he took the initiative to find an excuse to avoid it. He was afraid that he really couldn't help it.

Regarding the song "Chi Ling", none of the four people had any comments.

Perhaps, in terms of all aspects of technique, this song is far inferior to "Blue and White Porcelain", but in terms of emotional appeal and the pattern behind it, it is enough to make countless people forget about those so-called techniques.

It took a few people half an hour to recover from the suppressed and sad mood.

Father Xiao looked at his daughter: "I saw you bought several before. Who are you bringing them to?"

"My classmate, what's wrong?"

"Give a few to Dad first, and I'll put them in the car to listen to. Then I'll give a few to my colleagues. I'll pay you how much they cost."

Hearing this, Xiao's mother wiped her eyes and said, "Give me a few, too. Your aunt Sun is an opera singer. She will be particularly touched when you see them."

With the support of Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, Xiao Yu's eight albums were sold out before they even went out, and the price increase was also increased from five yuan to ten yuan.

Not only did they get back the money they paid for the album, but they also made a small profit. Xiao Yu and her best friends became more and more excited and even spent their New Year's money to prepare for a big one.

As a result, I went to the video store the next day and found that "Chinese Style" had been sold like crazy.

Although it is not out of stock, it is impossible to get the goods in large quantities. Some audio and video stores have implemented purchase restrictions.

It's not that the boss doesn't want to sell, it's that the people in line are not allowed to buy. As long as they buy too much, those at the back start to make noises. The boss is afraid of something happening, so he can only limit purchases.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu spent a long time to get less than 10 albums.

Before I could contact my classmates and the buyer, I met a scalper. He added 100 yuan to the original price and bought the goods directly. He also left their phone numbers and told him to take whatever amount he could get within three days.

As a result, Xiao Yu and her best friend became scalpers, relying on buying and selling, and during the seven-day National Day holiday, they managed to make a few hundred yuan...
