Chapter 0401: Lit a fire in my heart
The middle section between section A and section B is played with the accompaniment of the orchestra.
It consists of brass and string parts, single and oboe, big violin, flute...
The other musical instruments, in different modes, take turns to perform solos, bringing the audience's thoughts into the mountains, rivers, forests, rice fields of the motherland... Let people feel the magnificent scenery of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Each rotation of the rhythm can accurately reflect the beautiful and profound meaning of the lyrics.
The brass and percussion parts show off their majesty and sonority, pushing the audience's emotions to the peak.
The conductor's mood also became excited.
He turned around suddenly and pointed at Li Yu.
Following the conductor's move, everyone thought that the melody of the music would continue to rise. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yu opened his mouth, the accompaniment gradually became smaller, and it was almost only Li Yu's singing voice.
In the middle, a small gap is formed.
Paired with Li Yu's singing voice and lyrics, it actually has a different kind of beauty:
"The girl is like a flower, the boy is so broad-minded..."
The beginning of section B, the melody is the same as the beginning of section A.
But the words have changed, from river and rice flowers to girls and boys.
Describe the scene in the front and the people in the back.
If you write about beautiful mountains and rivers in the front, you should write about beautiful life in the back.
This is how the audience speculates by following the lyrics and reflecting back and forth.
However, the trend of the lyrics was completely beyond their expectations.
"In order to open up a new world, I awakened the sleeping mountains and changed the appearance of the river!"
"..."
Breaking new ground.
Wake up the sleeping mountains.
Change the shape of the river.
It makes people feel the endless struggle day after day.
A change that is not difficult.
change yourself.
Change hometown.
Change the motherland.
Use hard-working hands to pursue freedom, beauty, and peace; to build a new era.
Here, the focus is on change, struggle, and hard work.
But, is that all?
Is it that simple?
The deep meaning of the lyrics vaguely points to another direction. Some people feel it, and some people don't understand it, but with the singing, they will definitely understand.
At the end of this sentence, Li Yu raised his tone again.
Without waiting for the conductor to make any move, the audience naturally looked towards the harmony group. The conductor followed closely behind and faced them. The conductor raised his hands upwards and loudly sang:
"This is the motherland of heroes and the place where I grew up. In this ancient land, there is the power of youth everywhere!"
There was a bang.
The mind and soul seemed to be struck by a powerful force.
Because the lyrics are sublimated.
The opening sentence, "This is the motherland of heroes," makes people's scalp numb, their mood excited, and their blood surging.
In this land of China, heroes emerge in large numbers.
In the face of invasion by foreign powers, countless heroes fought desperately; in the face of torture, countless heroes remained unchanged and died heroically.
Facing the guillotine, she shouted loudly: "The fire of revolution cannot be extinguished, your doom is not far away!"
Faced with the siege, he only said: "No need to say more, just shoot."
When his stomach was cut open, there were only cotton clothes and bark inside.
…
There are many, many similar heroes.
They never thought of surrendering and would rather die than be prisoners.
This is integrity!
This is the spirit!
This is the national soul!
In this ancient land, there are really people who are not afraid of sacrifice and are willing to give everything for the present and future of this nation!
And, one after another.
During the grand symphony, the audience finally shed tears.
Once the emotional gate is opened, it can never be stopped.
Li Yu has two deepest impressions about this song.
One is when I was a child, I watched the movie "Shangganling" and sang this song.
She was a beautiful girl. Even though the movie was in black and white, her beauty could not be obscured at all. Now, she has become an old artist.
Later, Li Yu found out that it was not her singing. She was just an actor, and she performed the lip-sync in the movie.
The singer is another real artist named Guo. The actor in the play is named Wang.
Teacher Guo’s voice is high-pitched and bright, sweet and graceful, with a particularly wide range, and her singing is full of charm.
She practiced opera when she was young. Through rigorous training, she has profound artistic skills, which allows her to sing with the beauty of spirit, emotion, shape, voice, accent and words.
Her version of "My Motherland" is also the most widely circulated version.
There was a little story when I was recording this song.
First there was the movie "Shangganling", and then this song came out.
But I couldn't find the right person to sing it, so I kept looking and looking, and finally I found her, and she recorded it on Dongyang Radio and Television Station, and then the next day, the song was broadcast to the whole country.
There were not many boys' versions that left a deep impression on Li Yu, only "The First Snow in 2002" was one.
Another profound impression was made by Mr. Yuan.
The people of the whole country were able to avoid starvation and eat rice, and Yuan Gong was indispensable.
Mr. Yuan liked the song "My Motherland" very much. On the day he left, he walked away to the sound of this song.
Two worlds with the same modern history, the same experiences, and the same emotions.
Listening to this song, no one can hold back their emotions.
Not to mention the audience who were crying in front of us, several celebrities in the background turned around and secretly wiped away their tears.
For them, Li Yu's song is really heavyweight.
There has never been a popular song that can make people cry like this one.
Almost everyone who heard this song was ignited with patriotic emotions.
Just when everyone was secretly wiping away their tears, there was a third paragraph.
And this section of lyrics was beyond everyone’s expectations.
If we say, the first paragraph is the yearning for a better life.
The second paragraph is about working hard for a better life.
In the third paragraph, it is about fighting to protect a better life.
It expresses an attitude and a position:
"Good mountains, good water, good places, all roads are wide. When friends come, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, he will be greeted with shotguns!"
"This is a powerful motherland, where I grew up. In this warm land, there is sunshine of peace everywhere!"
Entertain friends with good wine.
Use a shotgun to deal with jackals.
A few lyrics ignited the fire in everyone's hearts.
In the following chorus, the song is burning with high-pitched and powerful singing.
This theme song satisfies the "Shangganling" film director's expectations for a movie theme song.
His creator, Mr. Qiao, once said this: "You can write whatever you want. I just hope that no one will watch this movie in the future, and there will still be people singing this song."
The dissemination of movies has certain limitations.
But songs have very few limitations. They can be passed down orally and from generation to generation.
Since, this song was brought to this world by Li Yu.
Then he will definitely let this song be sung from generation to generation.
If there is a chance, Li Yu will definitely tell the director.
Chapter completed!
