Chapter 83: Storm, Rainbow, Sonorous Rose
Entering the 1980s, the effect of Chinese social reform was further shown in popular songs. When the west wind of opening up to the outside world came, people's spiritual world relaxed became inevitable.
Pop songs in the music field have a huge gap because they were once surrounded and suppressed. From "Love Love" to the "Rain Star Concert" that set a precedent for live performances of large-scale pop music in the Capital Stadium in 1980, none of them could announce the arrival of the spring of the development of pop music in my country. What followed was pressure from all sides. Many people with discourse power had made numerous remarks in the media and made severe criticisms of pop music.
However, as our country's difficult and unstoppable transformation from a "subject society" to a "civil society", popular songs, as an important part of civic culture, have also shown stronger development momentum.
According to the development laws of art and the predictions of music professionals in the music industry at that time, the development of pop music will begin to usher in its first peak of development in the mid-to-late 1980s. But no one could have expected that in 1983, a song that occupied an important position in the history of pop music and cultural history of Chinese language culture in mainland China and even the entire Asian Chinese culture circle appeared in everyone's vision. Amid the standing cheers and warm applause of the Chinese people, the first phenomenal pop song in mainland China was officially born with an unprecedented new situation and style that transcends the era, and influenced many mainland composers and singers, breaking the situation where Hong Kong and Taiwan songs dominate the mainland's pop music scene in one fell swoop.
This is the conclusion that I, Lin Qianjun, later saw in a paper on the history of pop music. There are many more discussions about this song "Sonker Rose" that appeared out of nowhere.
For example, a female vice premier later said that "Sonk Rose" inspired the fighting spirit of women in the new era of emancipating their minds, striving for progress, self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence, and was the fighting spirit of women in the new era, which was the clarion call for women to fight for their own rights. It is precisely because of the inspiration of this song that our country has many more female scientists, female astronauts, and female generals...
An entrepreneur who later became the richest woman in the country also said this: at that time she was just an ordinary housewife and was almost crushed by life. When she heard this song, she vowed to change her life. So she started her business by changing eggs and became the chairman of a company with a market value of over 10 billion yuan. She once offered a reward of 1 million yuan to find the original author of the song to express her gratitude, but she could not find it.
When this song that was destined to be extraordinary sounded in our small building, my first feeling was that it was quite nice, the style was a bit weird, but it was acceptable. The lyrics were outrageously straightforward, but they were really interesting. I had never heard of such a song.
The people in the group were attracted by the song to Chen Guanshui's room. It is not ruled out that some people listened to the sound of boring but followed the flow, but everyone came in quietly, and then stood quietly and listened, feeling the vigorous power in the song.
The song ended, and the sound of the lingering sound was lingering! The tape was idling in the recorder, and the room was very quiet, and everyone was immersed in that surprised and joyful atmosphere.
What was shocked was its melody that had never heard before, was arbitrary but simple and straightforward, and what was happy was its feeling of pursuing dreams, passionate and never giving up, just like drinking a large glass of ice water in the hot summer weather.
"Put it again, listen again." Li Chenfeng said, standing at the door.
Chen Guanshui ran to rewind, so everyone listened again. As soon as the music was finished, Wang Aida couldn't help but start to express her feelings excitedly.
"cool, it's sunique! Sorry, I couldn't help but speak English. I was so excited. It's really great. I haven't heard such a song when I was abroad. It's really, that, that, what should I say? It's so strong, right, it's so strong, it's really a good song. I like it very much. I didn't expect that there would be such a good rock in our country. It really refreshed my understanding of the country."
"The song is very good, but it is sung properly. The taste of the song is not in place. How can a song with such a rhythm be expressed in a small chorus? Why does a good song be so sang so glorious? This song should have a very cool feeling, be handsome and a little rebellious, and have the spirit of never giving up and mastering fate. The soundtrack is a little softer, but it is really good that the literary and artistic workers in our country can write such things."
Zhang Tianqiao also commented, but she didn't expect that she would have the same music as well, at least I agree with what she said.
"If you take a big step, you will get the balls. With the current pop music atmosphere in our country, it would be nice to listen to it. Just look, it will be a big fuss. How could those old guys accept this kind of thing? They would definitely want to knock this song over the ground and step on another foot."
Bai Siwen took off his glasses while wiping them with a cotton cloth while slowly answering the conversation.
"Why? Such a nice song."
Ada, who didn't understand the national conditions so well, asked. Seeing that Bai Siwen was still painting the lenses and didn't mean to say it immediately, Liu Ziyuan took the initiative to explain the truth to her.
"The content of the lyrics is not easy to criticize, but it can also be said to be vulgar, without any embellishment, too straightforward, piled up slogans, etc., but there are too many things that can be criticized in the melody, such as being unjust, being erratic, being rebellious, not in line with the laws of our socialist art. You can simply imitate foreign songs and other hats. Isn't there a crosstalk called "Hat Factory"? There are still some people in our country who are rigid in their thoughts and rigid in their minds, and they cannot accept such things."
"Hey, Guanshui, I'm about to ask you, where did this song come from?" Bai Siwen asked after applying the lenses and putting on glasses.
Chen Guanshui briefly talked about the matter of helping Company Commander Bi Shiling today.
"There is a problem here. China Radio and Television is so brave that even such songs are played publicly and are recorded everywhere. They are not always cautious and cautious. The report follows Xinhuashe. Is the public opinion orientation in my heart? Isn't this time afraid of being scolded and causing a big storm? How did those people criticize the songs "Hometown Love"? This song is even more outrageous than that!" Bai Siwen also turned to ask Li Chenfeng, "Do you see if this is the case, the team leader."
Li Chenfeng nodded without saying a word, and Bai Quanyi spoke coldly.
"We ordinary people want to listen to a good song and listen to them clamoring around. All eight dramas are so calloused. Let us let our ears go. They can't write them themselves and they can't even show their jealousy and can't stand others' likes. Where can I see it? This is a disease and I have to take medicine."
"When I was waiting outside, I heard a little bit of wind." Tan Liaoyuan, as one of the parties involved, also spoke. "When this song was first sent to China Radio and Television, there were always a few people who threw their hats around. No one dared to make the decision to broadcast it, and they also returned the song to others. Later, you know who the song was alarmed?"
He was a big bald man who told the story in a dry way, and his technique of leaving suspense and losing burdens was also very failed. No one in the audience wanted to answer his words. As a professional supporting actor in the group, I saved him and asked in a pretended concern, "Who?"
"Sister Deng, Sister Kang and Sister Handsome, all three of them gave instructions, saying that this is a good song, a true portrayal of the liberation of women in our new society, and a declaration of independence and self-improvement from the heart of women in the new era. If they don't broadcast, they don't pay attention to women's work. If they don't broadcast such a good song, they look down on half of the sky. Now no one in the China Radio and Television dares to make a sound."
"Hiss--" Everyone took a breath. The three respected elder sisters came forward together, and the biggest bureau had to consider it. I guess the leaders of the CCB were about to explode. We were all thinking that a song was just a shock to the people in the department in charge of publicity. Unexpectedly, the three elder sisters would come out to set the tone for this song. Now this song is going to be popular all over the country, and no one dares to say a little bad thing.
"Can you guess who sang this song?" Tan Liaoyuan then raised a question to attract everyone's appetite. So Tan Liaoyuan has no friends in the group, but this kind of desperation personality is too annoying.
"Who?" All the people asked in unison.
"It's our girls from the women's volleyball team. I didn't expect that they were singing together. Moreover, Sister Deng also appointed this song "Sonk Rose", which is the name of the song. As the song of our country's women's volleyball team, I said I hope they can sing this song to create new achievements for the country!"
"Oh! Then this is really suitable! All the things that feel wrong will be right after this. The person who wrote this song is really a genius. It is like it is tailor-made for us women's volleyball girls. Only our women's volleyball girls deserve this song! Is the lyrics of this song not the spirit of our women's volleyball girls?! It's really suitable. It's really great to draw your sword and raise your eyebrows, comfort your heart, laugh proudly, and be magnificent.
"Sister Zhang, just say it, why are you holding a recorder? I haven't heard enough yet!"
Seeing Zhang Tianqiao excitedly speaking, he came over to pick up the tape recorder and was about to leave. He even forgot to pull out the power cord, Chen Guanshui hurriedly called her.
"Watch the water, this machine is a valuable public property. How can it be kept in your room? My elder sister is going to take it back. By the way, I will also listen to this belt for a few days. I am full of fighting spirit (don't block my way), and I want to learn from the women's volleyball girls (be careful I will play you like volleyball). And this is a song for us women. We are about to eat, so don't join in the fun, ah!"
"Sister Zhang, I'll help you, I'll help you!"
Zhang Tianqiao and Wang Aida left happily with the tape recorder in their arms. The lesbians in the group really had no choice but to be able to dominate Li Chenfeng. Besides, we are not the sings who love songs like Bi Shiling. Just one song. Can we still make a big splash after listening to them?
There was no song, and the people in the room also scattered. Everyone ran to the cafeteria for dinner. Only Zhang Tianqiao and Wang Aida locked themselves in the dormitory to listen to music and learn songs, and the sounds came.
I really don't have any active food and have a problem with my brain.
But that song left a deep impression on everyone, so everyone was talking about it while eating. I haven't noticed that these guys in our group actually talked about music one by one. They are really versatile. This one can beauties, the one can play guitar, and the violin. To be honest, I'm not afraid, I can also know the same instrument, and since I was a child, I can blow whistle.
Xiao Yucheng is the little Joelbua who can play the violin. You said that you are a teacher who used to guard the library, not Sherlock Holmes, so why do you even have to learn from him if you have a hobby? He pulled Lu Qiujian and pestered Chen Guanshui and Tan Liaoyuan to ask questions. You are not Mozart and Liszt. You are asking so many lyrics and composition questions. What are you doing? It’s like Chen Guanshui sweating.
As a result, Xiao Yucheng asked in the end, threw the guys aside, ran to our table, and said to Li Chenfeng seriously:
"Team leader, are you free? I have something to report to you!"
