Chapter 246 The humble dare not forget the country, even if no one knows me

Xiao's house, living room

The discs went into the warehouse, the TV started to play, Xiao Yu and his best friend ran back to the sofa, watching the TV expectantly,

Xiao's father was holding a teacup and crossing his legs, seemingly casually, but his eyes were always on the TV.

The first song is "Dongfeng Break", everyone has heard this song, but this is the first time I have seen the MV.

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

Cao Xuan intentionally filmed it a bit fictitiously, because this song does not refer to a specific story, but expresses a kind of emotion or emotion. Everyone's understanding of this is different, mainly listening to the song.

Therefore, Cao Xuan did not set a specific story for the MV. He made a short paragraph through flashback editing.

The same is true for "Blue and White Porcelain", but the blue and white porcelain is relatively clearer, which is to highlight the sadness of parting.

For this reason, the MV crew deliberately found a relatively more classical and exquisite scenic spot for Cao Xuan and Hu Jing to shoot, and made some rain and fog scenes in conjunction with it.

What's more, the crew made a special trip to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, recorded a section of blue and white porcelain production process according to the lyrics, and randomly edited and added it to the MV.

"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes from dark to light.

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

The charm of the glaze rendering of the lady's figure is privately hidden
And your sweet smile is budding
……

Sky blue is waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you

The smoke rises up, thousands of miles across the river
On the bottom of the bottle, the Han Li imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty

Just when I foreshadowed to meet you

……

The plantain outside the curtain provokes the rain, the door knocker causes the patina
And I passed by that Jiangnan town and provoked you
……

Moonlight was salvaged and fainted
Just like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself

You have a smile in your eyes..."

The song "Blue and White Porcelain" is hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese style, with a soft and lyrical tone and an extreme beauty in the lyrics.

Let you vaguely see the Yiren in white clothes and skirts flying in the misty and rainy Jiangnan ink landscape, the kind of artistic conception and sense of picture that rush to the face directly make people intoxicated.

The words are like the bright moon shining among the pine trees, and the music is like the upper stream of clear springs and stones!
Father Xiao, who considers himself a half-literate man, raised his palms and praised: "This song is so beautifully written, and the blue and white porcelain is also incorporated into it without being obtrusive. I like this song "Blue and White Porcelain" better than "Dongfeng Po". "

Xiao Yu and his best friend didn't have so many interjections, but they also thought it was very nice. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao's father was here, they would have yelled [Fuck, awesome].

It seemed that Xiao's father really liked this song. After playing it once, he pressed the next song again and started listening to it twice.

Xiao Yu didn't dare to resist, so she ran to the bedroom and took her own lyrics book, and copied it to the TV and the free lyrics page.

Xiao's father glanced at it, and it was rare that he didn't say anything about not doing his job properly, but nodded in approval and said.

"Write a copy for me 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 admired them, he was not as excited as "Blue and White Porcelain".

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

"Honey, I found a really nice song, it's so well written, Xiao Yu, play that "Blue and White Porcelain" to your mother."

Xiao Yu was obedient and obedient, Xiao's mother was told to listen to "Blue and White Porcelain" without knowing it, and 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 better. It's a bit like the boy in the white shirt sitting in front of the glass window at the back table when I 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 Mother Xiao excitedly. Father Xiao kept boasting, but they always felt that the boast was not comprehensive, but they couldn't tell what was not comprehensive.

When Xiao's mother mentioned it, they immediately understood that Cao Xuan sang well, and deliberately fit the emotion of the song. The singing was very pure and clear, with a little bit of laziness, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

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

Xiao's father was a little tasteless, Xiao's mother ignored her, and sat down proudly amidst the compliments of her daughter and her daughter's girlfriends.

It cannot be said that Xiao's father misunderstood the song, and even his point of view is the mainstream of most people.

However, Xiao's father's understanding couldn't touch the psychology of Xiao Yu and the little girls, and they couldn't reach a sympathy, but Xiao's mother found another way, and quickly reached an agreement with the two little girls.

As if offering a treasure, Xiao Yu called out a few songs that she thought were better from this album, and let Xiao's mother taste and comment.

Different from Xiao's father's only love of "Blue and White Porcelain", Xiao's mother also spoke highly of "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" and "Lanling Moon", and even relatively preferred "Lanling Moon".

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

Xiao's father was left out in the cold, a little upset, 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 Moon", but "Zaoshi Moon" "."

"No, Lan Ling in this song refers to Gu Lan Ling. Zaoshi was originally under the rule of Gu Lan Ling, so Lan Lingyue is right."

Xiao Yu instinctively defends idols, this is also the explanation Cao Xuan made to some media back then.

Many people play tricks [Lanling=Zaoshi]. This sentence is right or wrong, because the area of ​​Gulanling is very large, and the area of ​​each dynasty is not necessarily the same.

Sometimes, the ancient Lanling Mausoleum included parts of Zaoshi, Jishi, Linshi, and even Xu City in Suzhou Province, which was also part of the ancient Lanling Mausoleum during certain periods of time.

So Zaoshi is indeed a part of Gulan Mausoleum, but Gulan Mausoleum does not only represent Zaoshi.

"Lanling Moon" refers to it. If you play with "Zaoshi Moon", you will be ignoring the people in Linshi and other ancient Lanling areas.

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

.........

The family was noisy, and the last song was broadcast on TV-"Red Ling".

Compared with the previous songs, the MV of this song is relatively more cinematic, and even has a longer prelude.

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

The camera flashed, and the face on the mirror reappeared, this is a charming but somewhat determined female character.

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

"When the play breaks, the water sleeves rise and fall
Sing joys and sorrows, sing separation and reunion, it has nothing to do with me

Fans open and close, gongs and drums ring and silence

Love in the play, outsider, who can say

......"

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

"This opera singer is Cao Xuan?"

"Look at the eyebrows and eyes."

The makeup is too heavy, and the lens is a bit short, so Xiao Yu is not sure.

What's more is that I can't connect the idol in my memory with this charming and beautiful "little sister" in front of the TV for a while.

On the contrary, Xiao's mother felt good, complaining that several people were ignorant and made a fuss.

"As for male roles, Leslie Cheung and Zun Long have also played roles in "Farewell My Concubine" and "Madame Butterfly", but don't say, Cao Xuan looks quite handsome this time, not inferior to those two."

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

The female role played by Cao Xuan appeared on the stage of the Republic of China, with soft sleeves and graceful Kunqiang, telling the joys and sorrows of the famous play "Peach Blossom Fan", and the audience applauded.

"I'm used to blending joys, sorrows, and joys
How about sing and wear the statement

My bones and ashes are all mine
......"

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

A few scenes of war scenes flashed by, and the Japanese devils entered the city. The translator asked the theater to perform a performance for them, and pointed out the actor played by Cao Xuan for them.

"Duckweed in troubled times bears watching the flames burn mountains and rivers
The humble did not dare to forget the worry about the country

even if no one knows me

......"

Facing the vicious Japanese, Cao Xuan smiled and did not refuse, turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, and drew his eyebrows.

At this moment, Huadan, who used to be soft and charming, washed away all the frailty, and looked at the mirror of the dressing table, full of peace.

It was night, the theater was brightly lit, and the Japanese sat under the stage, drinking and eating meat, talking and laughing wantonly.

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

The curtain opened and the gongs and drums sounded.

Cao Xuan looked at the wolves, tigers and leopards in the audience, and could not bear the grief and indignation, and the whole song behind the MV really reached a real climax.

Come on -

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

People on stage sing heartbreak farewell song

Love is hard to write

she sings blood shall make peace
Who is the guest when the curtain starts and the curtain ends

......"

As soon as the high-pitched voice was like tearing silk and brocade, Father Xiao and the others in front of the TV.Immediately, I felt my scalp go numb, and bursts of cool air rushed to the top of the Tianling Gai.

The emotions of grief and indignation originally felt because of the plot could no longer be suppressed and gushed out directly.

And as Cao Xuan sang the phrase "I am humble, I dare not forget to worry about the country, even if no one knows me".

In the MV, someone suddenly locked the gates at the front and back of the theater, buckets of kerosene poured on the theater, and a raging fire ignited. All the Japanese devils panicked and ran away in embarrassment.

On the stage, Cao Xuan still sang his own play unhurriedly, calmly and calmly, in stark contrast to the Japanese devils who were crying and shouting.

In the blazing flames, a humble actor who dared not forget to worry about the country, died with a group of invaders, and died together, performing the last heroic and beautiful tragedy of troubled times.

Among the flames, ashes, and the faint figure still standing on the stage, the last few lines of the lyrics of the "Red Ling" MV are slowly expressed in a dramatic tone.

"Don't laugh at Fengyue drama, don't laugh at people's absurdity
I also asked the blue and yellow, and I also sang about the rise and fall

Tao is ruthless, Tao is sentimental, how to think
The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, and it takes time to think
......"

After singing the song, the living room was silent for a long time, only Mother Xiao and Xiao Yu were sobbing uncontrollably.

Xiao's father didn't cry, but kept his head up. When Xiao Yu was going to read it again, he took the initiative to find an excuse to avoid it. He was afraid that he really couldn't help it.

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

Perhaps, in terms of various skills, this song is far inferior to "Blue and White Porcelain", but in terms of emotional appeal and background structure, it is enough to make countless people forget those so-called skills.

It took half an hour for several people to recover from the suppressed and sad emotions.

Father Xiao looked at his daughter: "I saw you bought several copies before, who did you bring them to?"

"My classmate, what's the matter?"

"Let's give dad a few copies first, I'll listen to it in the car, and give some copies to my colleagues, and I'll make up for you how much."

Mother Xiao wiped her eyes when she heard the words: "Give me a few too, your Aunt Sun's mother is an opera singer, she must be very touched to see it."

With the support of Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, Xiao Yu's 8 albums were sold out before he left the house, and the price increase was changed 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 his girlfriends became more and more motivated, and even took out their lucky money to prepare for a big fight.

As a result, I went to the audio-visual store the next day, only to find that "Chinese Style" had sold like crazy.

Although it will not be out of stock, it is impossible to get large quantities of goods, and some audio-visual stores have implemented purchase restrictions.

It's not that the boss doesn't want to sell, it's that those who line up are not allowed to buy, as long as they buy too much, those behind the line will start to booing, the boss is afraid of accidents, so he can only limit the purchase.

It took a long time for Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu to get less than 10 albums.

Before I could contact my classmate buyer, I ran into a scalper, who swept the goods up by adding 100 yuan to the original price, and left a phone number for the two of them, and within three days, he would charge as much as he could.

So, Xiao Yu and his girlfriends became scalpers and went offline, relying on buying and selling, and the National Day holiday for seven days, they just made a few hundred dollars...
