Chapter 1127 The Queen of the Seven Songs of Shanghai Beach

Jin Jingcheng sat on the seat behind the desk and waved to Han Jiaren.

Han Jiaren understood and habitually pursed her tongue, then walked to Jin Jingcheng's side and sat on Jin Jingcheng's thigh.

Jin Jingcheng handed Han Jiaren a cup of big red robe.

Han Jiaren smelled it: "What kind of tea is this? Why does it taste so strong?"

Of course, Han Jiaren knew that Jin Jingcheng liked to drink tea, and she also saw Jin Jingcheng drinking tea many times. She also drank tea with Jin Jingcheng, but the tea fragrance this time was really strong.

Jin Jingcheng said: "Dahongpao."

Knowing that Han Jiaren must not know Dahongpao, Jin Jingcheng explained again: "It is a special famous tea in China."

Han Jiaren said "Oh" and sipped it gently, and her brows subconsciously frowned.

Jin Jingcheng asked with a smile: "Isn't it delicious?"

Han Jiaren said: "It's delicious."

Jin Jingcheng laughed. He knew that Han Jiaren must have been unable to drink Dahongpao at the beginning, but under his influence, Han Jiaren had also drunk tea many times. Jin Jingcheng believed that Han Jiaren would adapt if he drank a few more sips of Dahongpao. As for falling in love with Dahongpao, it was probably unlikely, because many women don’t like to drink tea, let alone a Korean woman like Han Jiaren.

Jin Jingcheng also tasted Dahongpao. He knew that when drinking "Dahongpao" tea, you must follow the "Kungfu Tea" small pot and small cup to taste the slow drink program to truly taste the Zen tea charm of the rock tea. In fact, in Jin Jingcheng's view, drinking tea often involves not only taste, but also a kind of tea charm. To put it bluntly, it can even be considered a kind of tea culture.

The finished product was confirmed after a bite. Jiang Mingyue gave him the most authentic and top-notch Dahongpao, which tasted really good.

Jin Jingcheng opened the laptop on his desk and found a playlist in a music software.

This song list is "A Collection of Seven Queen Songs in Shanghai".

Han Jiaren looked at the cover of the playlist and found seven old Shanghai beauties wearing cheongsams, and asked curiously: "Who are they?"

Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "The Queen of the Seven Songs in Shanghai."

Immediately, Jin Jingcheng explained to Han Jiaren.

The Seven Songs of Shanghai refer to the seven most well-known pop stars in Shanghai in the mid-to-late 1940s, and were also the seven singers selected by the media and listeners of old Shanghai at that time. They were: Zhou Xuan, Bai Hong, Gong Qiuxia, Yao Li, Bai Guang, Li Xianglan (Shuko Yamaguchi) and Wu Yingyin.

They have different styles and charm, and have made important contributions to the prosperity of Shanghai Times.

Zhou Xuan, the first of the seven major song queens in Shanghai, was the most influential star in the old Shanghai. She was both famous and successful in both songs and movies. As a generation of song queens, her name is a golden signboard in the history of Chinese popular songs. The songs "Song of the Four Seasons", "Singing Girl in the World", "Night Shanghai" and so on are all popular. In 1957, Zhou Xuan's old illness relapsed while filming. She was only 37 years old when she passed away. Her beauty died young and died young.

Bai Hong, the seven major singers in Shanghai, ranked second, and the double-movie red star. She became a member of the Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe at the age of 11. At the age of 14, she won the championship in the broadcasting singer campaign initiated by the "Da Evening News" and won the title of "Minimum" in the history of Chinese pop music. She established her unshakable front-line position in the Shanghai music scene. She was also the first pop singer in China to hold a solo concert (1945). Her representative songs include "Riding the Wind and Waves", "Listening to Me", "Let's Sweet", "Let's Sweet", "Let's Sweet", "The Lang is the Spring Wind", "Intoxicating Lipstick", "I Want You", etc.

Gong Qiuxia, once a famous figure in the old Shanghai, was able to sing and perform. Her voice was sweet and gentle, and she was known as a "silver voice". She also starred in many movies and took the lead in acting and singing in the movie, setting a precedent for the film and singing style.

Yao Li was only 13 years old when she debuted. She was appreciated by Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua and introduced herself to join Eidai Records. Her song "Rose I Love You" was a popular international song, which was changed to an English song, and also had the famous song "Spring Breeze Kissing My Face". In 1967, Yao Li lost her brother and resolutely withdrew from the music industry.

Bai Guang, born in Peking, was popular in the music industry with her magnetic bass. She is also known as the "Goddess of a Generation" because of her good role in playing a coquettish and charming bad woman. In 1995, Bai Guang was invited to attend the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award Ceremony" on Hong Kong Radio, and presented Jacky Cheung with the famous singer Xu Xiaofeng (known as "Little White Light"), and was still as beautiful as ever. In 1999, Bai Guang died of illness in Kuala Lumpur. Her grave was very special. When you climb up the stairs, you can see a row of black and white keys engraved with a song with the stitching of "If Not You". Representative songs include "If Not You", "Waiting for You Back", "The Soul Hides in the Old Dream", etc.

Li Xianglan was born in Yantai, Fengtian. Her real name is Yamaguchi Shuko, and her ancestral home is Saga, Japan. She is the only foreign singer among the "Seven Songs Queens" in Shanghai and a famous movie actor. In 1944, she released the famous song "Yehn Kao". In 1945, Japan was defeated. Li Xianglan was arrested on charges of traitors and was later released and sent back to Japan. Later, she bid farewell to the stage of Japan to enter politics and was elected as a member of the Japanese Senate. She served as a deputy minister of environmental protection affairs, chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Okinawa and Northern Affairs, chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, etc. In 2005, Li Xianglan published a long article, advising Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi not to visit the Yasukuni Shrine because "that would deeply hurt the hearts of the Chinese."

Wu Yingyin, when she was 24 years old, Wu Yingyin participated in the famous Xianlesi Nightclub singing competition in Shanghai with a "playful" attitude. She stood out with the famous song "I Want You" by Bai Hong and became the champion in one fell swoop. Wu Yingyin has the reputation of "Naring Queen" as the "Wu Ninth Soft Words". The song "The Bright Moon Sends Lovesickness Thousand Miles" was sung by her. After Hong Kong returned in 1997, she "come out of the mountain" again and held concerts in the Red Hall for four consecutive years, and the venues were full.

After listening to Jin Jingcheng's explanation, Han Jiaren couldn't help but sigh: "When I watched the Chinese TV series "Shanghai Beach", I thought Shanghai Beach was a charming place. Now I heard you talk about the seven major songs, I feel even more charming."

Jin Jingcheng smiled faintly: "It's very charming, but also cruel."

Han Jiaren was surprised: "Why is cruel?"

Kim Jong-sung responded simply: "Because it was a very cruel era."

In Shanghai in that era, the beauty was charming but also very bitter. In comparison, today's female celebrities are much happier.

Immediately, Jin Jingcheng played the playlist.

Jin Jingcheng liked to listen to the songs of the Queen of the Seven Songs in Shanghai in his previous life.

Now, since Jin Jingcheng has come to Shanghai, listening to the seven major songs in Shanghai is a dream to go back to his previous life.

The first one to play is Zhou Xuan's "Night Shanghai".

"Night Shanghai, night Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps. The lights are rising, the music sounds, the singing and dancing are rising. I saw her, smiling, but she felt depressed inside. Nightlife is all for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everyone is drunk without getting drunk. Hu Tian and Hu diligently wasted youth. The morning color is hazy and the eyes are tired. Everyone goes back, and their hearts change with the rotating wheels. There is a new world and a new environment."

Han Jiaren said excitedly: "I know this song, called "Night Shanghai".

Jin Jingcheng nodded with a smile, let Han Jiaren stand up from her lap, and the two walked to the window together.

Outside the window is Shanghai under the night sky, and it is the very prosperous Shanghai Bund.

Shanghai Beach, Night Shanghai, a different era, the same thing is survival.

People must survive, survive better, survive well, and strive no matter which era they are in!
