Chapter 516 Audition (Part 2)

As Yang Sen waved his baton, the prelude music of the song sounded. For the time travelers sitting, this music was very familiar, because the people sitting were all the leaders of the time travel group, all of which were around 40 years old. In this era when [My Chinese Heart] became popular all over the land of China, they were just over ten years old. And that era was the beginning of China's reform and opening up. The country's door had just opened. Chinese people who were used to listening to the grand and glorious and high-end red songs had just come into contact with the pop music model of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The meaning of this song just touched the Chinese people at that time. Therefore, it is not surprising that this song could touch a whole generation.

"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams. The motherland has not been close to me for many years, but no matter what, it cannot be changed. My Chinese heart..." The prelude music passed, and the singer walked into the center of the stage from behind the curtain on the left.

Originally, this should be a solo song by a person, but it can also be adapted into a solo and accompaniment. The singer is Xu Sheng, who is the lead singer of the Qingshan Island Guest Rolling Boat Band. His costume style has also been carefully designed, completely in the style of returning overseas Chinese in the 1980s. He is wearing a short windbreaker, a top hat, a scarf around his neck, and a suitcase in his hand.

"Although I wear a dress, my heart is still the Chinese heart. My ancestors have long branded everything about me with Chinese seal..."

At the beginning, the audience was somewhat careless, but after hearing half of the time, they were not freely attracted by the accompaniment. Even Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang and others stared at the stage intently. First, the song entered the tone of the overseas wanderer expressing their feelings, and used symbolic Chinese scenic spots to convey patriotism. It was indeed enough to touch people's hearts; second, the expression of this music was something that China in this era had never seen before, but the music was all connected. Therefore, whether it was a time traveler or a person from many years ago, even if it had been leaping over 10 years, the Chinese blood buried in the hearts of the Chinese people was the same.

After the song was finished, the audience was still silent for a long time in the rotation of the music just now. Only when the time travelers present took the lead in applauding did they react and immediately applauded.

The next second song is [The Successor of the Dragon].

In fact, the order of the songs is also very particular, but it is not randomly arranged. It takes a lot of effort from the responsibility group. The entire concert is divided into four parts, each part has a title song, which also represents the theme of this part. The title song of the first part is [My Chinese Heart], which has 6 songs from the Dragon, the Pearl of the East, the Clouds of the Hometown, the Great Wall, and the Chinese. The content basically expresses the identification with the Chinese nation or Chinese culture. In the words of Jiang Huanwu, it means playing the family card and using the sense of national identity to mobilize the audience's emotions.

After these 6 songs were finished, the curtain was erected, and the two hosts appeared again, expressing their feelings about returning to their hometown of China in a passionate way. From the perspective of time travelers such as Xia Bohai and Qin Zheng, the performance of the two hosts was of course quite decent, but people in this era did not feel this way. According to the observations of Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others, many people nodded repeatedly.

The curtain was then opened again, and the concert entered the second part. The main song of this part was [Song of the Seven Sons], but there were 8 songs in total. In addition to [Song of the Seven Sons], there was another one [On the Song of the Songhua River]. The common feature of these 8 songs is to express their hatred for the invaders and the grief and anger of the Chinese nation, that is, to play the card of tragedy.

[On Songhua River] It was originally after the "918 Incident" in the old time and space, from the perspective of a woman who lost her relatives in the north and crying and sympathizing on the grave, expressing the grief and anger of the people of the Northeast and the Chinese people for losing the three northeastern provinces. At this time, Russia took advantage of the opportunity of the Boxer Rebellion and sent troops to invade the Northeast of China, so it was just right. Of course, the 918 in the original song room had to be changed.

[Song of the Seven Sons] is a set of poems written by the famous scholar Wen Yiduo in 1924 in the old time and space. The "Seven Sons" refer to seven pieces of land occupied by the great powers at that time: Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Kowloon, Weihaiwei, Guangzhou Bay (Zhanjiang, Guangdong) and Luda (Lushun, Dalian). This set of poems uses anthropomorphism to compare these seven "lost places" to seven children far away from their mothers, crying that they were bullied by foreign races and longing to return to their mother's arms. Therefore, the poem resonated strongly with Chinese people at home and abroad as soon as it was published. It was composed into a song when Macau returned in 1999.

[On Songhua River] is sung by adult female group and teenager female group, while [Song of the Seven Sons] is performed by teenager male and female group. Of course, there are teenagers who travel through time as the lead singer in each song. However, now Weihaiwei has been recovered by time travelers, so in terms of order, the responsibility group has made some fine adjustments. The original [Song of the Seven Sons] is arranged in the order of chronological order. Weihaiwei ranked fourth and moved to the end, and joined an adult female singer and teenager group to perform together, implying that Weihaiwei has returned to his mother's arms.

As the music started again, the performance was performed again, and the audience was singing first. This time, the emotions of the audience had been completely mobilized and were much heavier. Because the music of [Songhua River] was originally a desolate and sad, and for the Qing court, the Northeast had a special significance. It was originally auspicious place for the Manchus, so it was even more infectious. Even Prince Qing couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

The following performance of [Seven Sons Song] is another effect, because it is performed by young men and women, which is also in line with the creativity performed by [Seven Sons Song] from the perspective of children. Moreover, the male and female teenagers participating in the chorus have experienced the loss of family members and are orphans. Therefore, although they are natives and are a bit tight, they can better understand the mood and feelings expressed by [Seven Sons Song]. In contrast, although the time-traveling teenagers who serve as the lead singer have more temperament and confidence, they are obviously not as good as those in terms of emotional expression.

Wang Jun, who was watching on another table, whispered to Jiang Huanwu: "Can you let your local children lead the singing?"

Jiang Huanwu said: "Minister Wang, you understand too. This is a political issue and cannot be careless."

Wang Jun nodded and said, "That's right, but the effect is a little worse. This concert is our top highlight. It's done well and everyone will have a better life in the future, so I hope to achieve the best results."

Jiang Huanwu said: "Minister Wang, I understand what you said, but because it is the highlight, you cannot make political mistakes. Moreover, this is just an audition. There is still time for them to practice. When it comes to the formal performance, it will definitely be better than it is now," Jiang Huanwu said as he said that, and he approached Wang Jun again and said: "Look at what these people can understand?"

Wang Jun looked around. Although the lights were dim, he could see clearly that many people around the audience were crying. It was obviously very touched, and the effect was far beyond Wang Jun's expectations.

The main song of the third part is [Hero's Praise], including songs such as the Yellow River and the Yellow River Chorus. Unity is strength. Our team is towards the sun and the Great Wall will never fall. 6. In addition to expressing the sadness of the invaders, the content of these songs also has more meanings to encourage the people to fight against the invaders and praise the heroes who resist the invaders. After all, playing the tragic card can touch people's hearts, but it is also a bit dissipated. Therefore, it is necessary to inspire people's fighting spirit and sound the horn of resisting the invaders. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish a bright and positive image of time travelers. Therefore, this part is mainly composed of male adult groups, and 2 are performed by male groups.

Of course, this is also based on the brilliant achievements achieved after the time traveler returns. If these achievements are not laid out, the meaning expressed in these 6 songs will become empty and powerless begging, but it is precisely the brilliant achievements achieved by the time traveler that it will show a grand and glorious effect.

The performance in the third part is indeed very energetic and completely dispelled the sad effect caused by the second part. Even though most viewers have passed the age of impulsive and passionate, they still feel very encouraged. If they recruit soldiers on the spot, maybe a few people will really sign up.

The theme of the last part is the hymn of the motherland, with only three songs and singing about the motherland. My motherland, of course, is all about praising the motherland and expressing infinite love for the motherland and hometown. For Chinese people, they usually like a perfect and bright result, so the content of this part is just right.

It is the ending [My Motherland], which is also a classic work that has lasted for many years and has been sung in the old time and space. The tunes in the first half are melodious and beautiful, and the lyrical female voices express the beautiful scenery of the motherland and the infinite love for the hometown. The second half is in a mixed chorus form a sharp contrast with the front, passionate and majestic, as if a mountain torrent gushed and poured thousands of miles away, deeply expressing the strong patriotic thoughts and heroic spirit. The audience present was intoxicated. Many people hummed gently, and some people shook their bodies rhythmically to the music, which also brought a perfect ending to the concert.

Just as the beautiful music of [My Motherland], Xia Bohai said to Qin Zheng: "It is still easy to impress people with art. This is much better than empty talk. I think our reaction weapon is sharp enough this time, and it will definitely work this time."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, think about how huge the American blockbusters played a role in promoting American social values ​​and the so-called American spirit in the old time and space. It was indeed a big mistake that we did not pay attention to using cultural weapons before."

Xia Bohai said: "I think we still have huge potential to explore in this cultural aspect. Moreover, after this negotiation, there will be a period of peace extension and there will be no more wars. We need to strengthen public opinion propaganda and cultural expansion. Soft power is sometimes more effective than hard power."
