: Ten Don’ts (please read, recommend)
There is a saying that the imperial capital is like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
And it's not like what's shown in the TV series, where the cadres all live in big houses and the courtyards are full of ordinary people.
Actually it's really not.
Due to frequent changes in housing policies, and many ministries and commissions are really poor. In addition, commercial housing is slowly progressing in the imperial capital. At this time, there are really many cadres who are still living in large courtyards.
Moreover, many cadres have complicated relationships with each other through marriage, old friends, friends, colleagues, comrades-in-arms, etc.
If you accidentally offend someone, you may not know what to do, but you may find yourself in trouble and blame your immediate boss.
This situation is not new now. It has been like this in the imperial city for hundreds of years and the capital for decades. This has developed the habit of people in the imperial capital being particularly polite when talking to everyone.
You see, only in the Imperial dialect, the title "you" exists as a general pronoun. Unless you are a classmate, a child, or a clear junior, you can be used when referring to others, otherwise it will always be "you".
Even if they are in the same school, if they are one grade higher, they have to be called "you".
Things like "Hello, you're polite, you're lucky, you're on your way, have you eaten, please give in, please excuse me" are all common expressions used by people in the imperial capital in their daily speech.
Even small gangsters use you in their conversations. For example
"Goodbye, you"
"Death, you",
"If I don't stab you twice, you will feel uncomfortable."
"You are carrying a teapot on your belt, are you looking for a throw (cei four sounds)" and the like, in fact, they all mean "you are looking for a beating" or "I am going to beat you up", but when it comes to speaking in the imperial capital, it is still...
That's very polite.
In fact, the imperial capitals of later generations are not so particular, because in fact, there are really few people in the old imperial capitals. With the elites from all over the country gathered together, it is not surprising that those who have no ability will be kicked out.
Wang Xu still remembered that several of his relatives lived in Yanjiao in his previous life, which meant he had some last thoughts about the imperial capital, because it was actually Hebei Province and no one was allowed to enter the imperial capital with license plates.
To enjoy any medical education, you have to take the bus, which is slower than going to Tianjin.
Wang Xu still has some remnants of the old Imperial City people in him, so he is generally very polite when talking and doing things. The hostility brought about by traveling through the world is slowly being washed away in this world.
After arranging several parents, Wang Xu took Wang Fei's hand, greeted several little girls, and walked toward the place illuminated by the lights.
"Hello, second brother," an unknown guitarist greeted politely, but his hand didn't stop. He was accompanying an older brother.
"You're welcome, leave me alone, do whatever you want, do whatever you want." Wang Xu greeted casually, pulling Wang Fei to stand still.
The singer was a young man, probably in his twenties, but he looked very downcast, unshaven, and a bit unkempt.
The song she sang was quite inappropriate for the occasion, "Ten Shouldn'ts".
This song is one of the "Prison Song Storm" that was popular in the past few years. If he hadn't heard it again here, Wang Xu might have forgotten this song. This song has been popular for a while in both past and present lives.
Although Wang Xu doesn't like this song, he always feels that the tone of the song is frivolous and debauched, but the lyrics are also written with heartfelt words. The sense of dissonance makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
But I can't stand it. This bad song was once popular all over the country. It's hard not to listen to it. It is said that the tape has sold millions of boxes.
A few years ago, there were so many people playing this song on the roadside with four-speaker tape recorders that it was impossible to escape. But in less than a year, this so-called prison song storm stopped.
Maybe people are tired of listening to it, or maybe it’s because of some policy from above, but no one listens to these songs anymore.
If I could use one word to describe this series of songs, it would be earthy, vulgar, vulgar.
If you compare the local songs and folk songs that have been criticized in later generations, such as "Two Butterflies", "Mouse Loves Rice", "Mistress", etc., compared with this batch of prison songs, they are simply foreign-style, okay?
That is to say, songs such as "Old Driver Take Me" can compete with it.
However, Wang Xu remembered that this song was sung by a man and a woman, and the girl who was a bit like a folk singer sang it very frivolously. The old man didn't feel like singing alone.
Sure enough, before Wang Xu could complain, a round-faced girl who was obviously with him came up to the microphone and continued singing. The sound, wow, was just like that.
That uncomfortable feeling that makes you itchy all over after listening to it, why does it feel so similar to the original version? It's strange.
The more Wang Xu listened, the more he felt that the voices of these two people sounded so familiar. They felt no different from what he heard on the original tape.
Isn't this song sung by Chi Zhiqiang? What's wrong with these two people, why do they come here to imitate and perform? But it's a bit late to imitate Chi Zhiqiang. It has become popular, and who still remembers him now.
.
"Have you heard this song?" Wang Xu gently squeezed Wang Fei's hand, lowered his head and asked in her ear.
"It's itchy, don't blow on my ears." Wang Fei lightly hit Wang Xu and said softly.
"Is it itchy?" Wang Xu suddenly remembered a song, maybe it could.
"Hmm, it's itchy. I've heard this song and I don't like it. Well, it's vulgar. Yes, it's very vulgar." Wang Fei was very straightforward. If she doesn't like it, she just doesn't like it.
"It's really vulgar. I don't know how it became popular in those few years." Wang Xu sighed. It is really a special product of a special era. This song is not even as popular as a saliva song. How did it spread? Wang Xu is true
Can't understand.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this song?"
"I'm not interested, I'm just curious. This person's voice is very similar to the original singer, even the flaws are almost exactly the same."
Wang Xu was actually very talented in music before he got the system, otherwise he wouldn't have been so close to being spotted by Mr. Mei.
His memory of music has always been very good, no matter in his past life or in this life.
In his previous life, Wang Xu claimed to have the Chinese Karaoke Music Library because whenever he started, he could sing along, but he didn't necessarily remember the words. Moreover, his vocal range was too narrow, and his singing level was at the karaoke level, even for Mai Ba.
Not on.
So he remembered this voice, it really sounded familiar.
The production level of that prison song series was very sloppy, and the lyrics, singing, soundtrack, and even the recording quality were really bad, but it happened to be so popular that it was all over the street.
It’s not just one song that’s popular, it’s a bunch of similar songs that are very popular. Even a tricycle rider can hum a few lines, “One shouldn’t be, the other shouldn’t be,…” and go through the streets and alleys to sing these songs.
The song spreads wider.
Wang Xu just held Wang Fei's hand and watched quietly, listening to the folk song, and suddenly felt very happy. Maybe it was because of his folk custom that this song spread to the streets and alleys, and to the farmers in the countryside.
The tunes of these songs are mostly taken from Errenzhuan in the Northeast and some local ditties in the North. After slight modifications, some inexplicable positive lyrics are added, and a song is released.
So at that time, a lot of similar songs were mass-produced in a very short period of time, forming the so-called prison song storm.
Wang Xu was very sure that the person in front of him was not Chi Zhiqiang. Although Chi Zhiqiang's image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Wang Xu still recognized him. After all, he was so famous in those years.
He became famous at a young age, went to jail, changed his mind, and became famous all over China. This is an inspiration. You can even see him on last year's calendar.
But listening to this voice, Wang Xu felt that there might be something hidden.
