Chapter 565 'Bell and Drum Tower'
"Uncle, are you blowing puffer fish or Zhu Bajie? Your belly is blowing too big!"
Li Xiaoni smiled and came to Lin Zaishan who was blowing candy, and joked that Lin Zaishan's Zhu Bajie's theme works were very clumsy.[
"well……"
Lin Zaishan smiled and sighed, his hands still shaking.
Today, it is difficult for him to concentrate all his energy on the game.
Everything familiar and fresh around him made him feel excited and it was difficult to suppress himself.
Lin Zaishan blew the candy man twice in a row, but both ended in failure.
Li Xiaoni realized that Lin Zaishan was worried today, and she frowned and asked Lin Zaishan: "Can you do it? Why don't I do it?"
"It seems like one person has to complete a craft."
"I'll go and ask."
Li Xiaoni walked aside and asked the staff if she could do both skills by herself. However, she got a negative answer. The two players had to complete a technical challenge each.
In other words, after Li Xiaoni completed the challenge of making dough man, Lin Zaishan had to independently complete the challenge of blowing sugar man.
"Uncle, don't worry, take your time. I heard that the other teams were stuck in the front door, and there was no group of people who had completed the teapot battle yet." Li Xiaoni patiently comforted Lin Zaishan.
Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly. He didn't care whether other teams would catch up with them. His homesickness was awakened by this ancient city that spanned time and space, and it was difficult to return to the game.
All he thought about was the bell and drum tower next to him. Where could he play the sugar man well in his life?
He was a little confused and blew Tangren four times before Lin Zaishan was finally taken care of by his master and barely passed this level.
They spent nearly half an hour here.
But even so, there is still no group of combinations that can keep up with their progress.
Other stars were still fighting hard at the teapot at the front door, while Lin Zaishan was led by Li Xiaoni and reluctantly left the Bell and Drum Tower.
Sitting in the special car and watching the bell and drum tower behind him gradually moving farther and farther away, Lin Zaishan felt inexplicably sad.
"You're fine, are you? I feel like you're in a bad state today?"
Li Xiaoni asked Lin Zaishan with concern in the car.
She doubted whether Lin Zaishan missed Mr. Lin?
Lin Zaishan smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
Li Yanni also saw that Lin Zaishan was in a bad state today, so she asked Lin Zaishan: "Uncle Lin, you just sang the story of your grandfather in "Qianmen Big Bowl Tea". Is your grandfather from Beijing?"
Li Yani actually knows that Lin Zaishan’s ancestral home is Beijing, and she has also seen from the Internet that Lin Zaishan’s grandfather is a builder from Beijing to the East China Sea.
In this season, after learning that she wanted to serve Lin Zaishan and Li Xiaoni, Li Yani had already learned about Lin Zaishan. She carefully sorted out Lin Zaishan's information. Although she didn't like Lin Zaishan very much at that time, she still had to do the work she should do.
Lin Zaishan smiled and said, "Yes, my grandfather is from Beijing, so I have a special relationship with this city. I remember that when my grandfather was a child, he always told me the story of 'home'."
"You have been to Beijing many times before, have you?" This was asked by Li Xiaoni. She didn't understand why Lin Zaishan's attitude was so abnormal when he came to Beijing this time.
"I've been here a few times. But every time I come, I feel a little new."
Li Yanni asked interested: "The new feeling means, are you new inspiration for creating music?" She wanted to encourage Lin Zaishan to sing again.
"There is no new inspiration, but I actually wrote some such works before." Lin Zaishanchao took the initiative to reach out to Li Yani: "Give me the guitar and sing for you."
"What song?" Li Xiaoni asked.
"The two buildings behind me, "Bell and Drum Tower."
When I returned to China to record videos, the program team provided the stars with special cars seconded from the local area. They were very comfortable and spacious.
Seeing that Lin Zaishan invited him to sing, Li Yani hurriedly gave Lin Zaishan his mottled old guitar.
Immediately, Lin Zaishan played the old guitar, plucked his heartstrings, and sang his favorite "Bell and Drum Tower"
...
My home is inside the Second Ring Road~
The people here~ have so much time~
They are talking about who has three or two shortcomings?
They are watching you~ pull out some brand of cigarettes~
The hard work of the small restaurant is the fellow villagers from other places~
Their faces are like me
...
The bicycle is pedaling on the fallen leaves~watching the sunset~
I can’t see the Yinding Bridge anymore~ I can’t see the western mountain~
The lotus in the water ~ its leaves are broken ~
The moon in the reflection~ is negotiating with the street lights~
Talking about tomorrow morning~Who will make a fire and cook?
Say tomorrow morning~ I will eat fried dough sticks and biscuits~
...
The bell and drum tower sucked the dust and smoke~ let you paint his face~
I can't hear your voice~ It's too noisy and messy now~
You've been watching it for so long~ Why don't you say it yet~
Who asked the question so difficult? There are correct answers everywhere~
Who asked the question so difficult? There are correct answers everywhere~
...
Although there is no finishing touch of Sanxian, Lin Zaishan sang the "Bell and Drum Tower" into the hearts of Li Xiaoni and others with his lonely guitar.
Li Xiaoni finally confirmed that Lin Zaishan must have missed Mr. Lin. Otherwise, his emotions would not be so addicted to this level.
Lin Zaishan was indeed in a heavy mood when singing this song.
Because of nostalgia, and because of some feelings that you can never go back to, you will never see your hometown and relatives.
Not noisy, but absolutely touching.
Just like He Yong, the original creator of this song, a screamer known as the founder of Chinese punk, expressed his best emotions in a work without any anger. It is so quiet and so moving.
Sometimes it is amazing to think about the things in this world. The most angry rock musician wrote the quietest and most moving folk works, which has to be said to be a miracle.
Lin Zaishan has endless feelings about He Yong. He Yong's "Garbage Garbage" album has always been one of Lin Zaishan's favorite domestic rock albums.
It would be very difficult to comment on He Yong's album "The Garbage Site", but it would also be a very simple matter.
It is difficult to say that the work of "Garbage Garbage" spans more than ten years from creation to production to the final line, and the music style and social information carried by the works are very complicated.
It is simple because "The Garbage Site" is not difficult compared to "The Lonely People Are Shameful" (Zhang Chu) and "Black Dream" (Dou Wei).
If "The Lonely People Are Shameful" plays "thinking" and "Black Dream" plays "atmosphere", "The Garbage Site" plays "emotion".
Many people like to use the word "anger" to describe He Yong when talking about him. In fact, "anger" is not appropriate to use "anger" on He Yong. "anger" based on thinking can be called "anger", and "anger" based on emotions can only be called "anger".
Some people may ask: "What is the root of He Yong's anger and what makes him angry?" This question is well asked. It is crucial to understand the root of He Yong's anger in understanding the record "Garbage Garbage".
In fact, two people, Cui Jian and He Yong, who truly represented the concept of "Beijing Rock" before 2ooo, supported these two people, were two completely different "Beijing Culture" and grassroots "Hutong Culture" of Beijing subculture army.
Cui Jian’s rock is a product of “court culture”, and He Yong’s rock is a product of “hutong culture”. Cui Jian’s red idealism and social criticism with a sense of responsibility and mission are completely lacking in He Yong.
He Yong rocks focus on the physical life of the city and the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and happiness of the villagers in Beijing's Hutong.
If Cui Jian’s rock is an adjective, then He Yong’s rock is a verb.
If Cui Jian’s rock is a sculpture, then He Yong’s rock is a video.
If Cui Jian's rock is politically oriented, then He Yong's rock is economics rock.
Cui Jian's "angry" is symbolic resistance, while He Yong's "angry" is a resistance that introduces daily life.
Cui Jian’s rock and He Yong’s rock and Lao She’s rock and Lao She’s rock and Lao She’s rock and root.
Between the 1980s and 1990s, a group of unemployed vagrants outside the system appeared in Beijing, and a group of gangsters who were hiding in Beijing's alleys. He Yong was one of them.
He Yong couldn't be a hooligan because he was not so ill-hearted and did not know how to harm others.
He Yong can't be a gangster either because he is not worldly enough and not slick enough.
He Yong had only a creaking bed, and he was riding his bicycle to swim among the alleys. He could only be a gangster from the alleys in Beijing.
He Yong's worldview is the worldview of a gangster in Beijing.
He Yong's "angry" comes from the anxiety and loneliness caused by the lack of identity, the frustration in the process of picking up girls due to the embarrassment of financial situation and the suspicious identity of his identity, and the insecurity in the process of picking up girls by Beijing Hutongs being "modernized" and his own living space being squeezed. The three works of "Battle on the Head", "Girl Beautiful" and "Bell and Drum Tower" talk about the three roots of his "angry". The title song of the same name "Garbage Site" is a "blow-out" emotional after the superposition and amplification of He Yong's multiple "angry" and "He Yong's roar is quite arrogant, carrying a "Boiler Rebellion"-like violent emotion.
The album "Garbage Garbage" has a total of eight original works, and the other four show the daily life of Beijing gangsters. Will the brisk rhythm of "African Dream" remind you of the humble chatter of many tea guests in Lao She's "Teahouse"?
Will the in-house language of "Chat" remind you of Wang Shuo's "The Stubborn Lord" being filled with witty and humorous verbal and rap?
The punk flavor of "Hidding" is very strong, simple, direct and powerful. Will it remind you of the "ruthless" legacy of Beijing as the ancient Yanzhao land? Will the beauty created by Saxophone in "Step" remind you of the tranquility and leisure in the afternoon of the old Beijing hutong?
"The Garbage Garbage" is a secret secretary who was well-informed about life in Beijing in the early 1990s.
The urbanization process has gradually lost the soil for survival.
The essence of hutong culture is a world of acquaintances, and urbanization leads to a world of new people.
The neighbors who were looking down but not looking up in the past were replaced by homeless men, beggars, thieves, and massage girls hang out with Zhu Bajie, who showed people the auspiciousness. The tranquility and warmth of the past were replaced by the noise and danger of today, just like He Yong's song: "People are like insects, fighting for me and strength in the inside."
The process of Beijing's modernization is a process in which the "hutong experience" gives way to the "street experience". If "hutong" exists for life, then "street" is created for exchange.
There are only dogs in the alley, and there are no cars and bungalows needed by beautiful girls. Only on the streets can cars and bungalows appear.
Hutong is a world of acquaintances and does not require police intercourse. The streets are a world of strangers. They need police, and they are policemen who are "holding pistols" and ready to attack at any time. The state machine's intervention in personal life has not been weakened but has been strengthened.
When streets replace hutongs, urban space needs to be rebuilt. The reconstruction of urban space means the reconstruction of order and the reconstruction of value chains. In this reconstruction process, the "hutong gangsters" are becoming more and more compatible with the underlying structure. The change of living space, the loss of identity, the entire life experience of "hutong culture" is invalidated, the strengthening of the control of individual life by the state machine, and the exclusion and suppression of the redistribution of interests has led to the decline of the social competitiveness of thehutong gangsters and the gangsters in the hutong gangsters, which has caused the hutong gangsters to panic and furious.
So He Yong shouted at the top of his lungs, "Is there still hope?" In fact, he was not shouting "Is there still hope in this world?", but shouting "Is there still hope in me?"
He is not doing social criticism, but his self-call before saving himself when he is facing a catastrophe. This is the entire secret of "The Garbage Garbage".
The record "The Garbage Garbage" would be much inferior without "The Bell and Drum Tower", and it can only be regarded as an excellent record. But it would be different with "The Bell and Drum Tower".
With "Bell and Drum Tower", "Garbage Garbage" can be among the ranks of great records.
"Bell and Drum Tower" is a magical catalyst for moving "The Garbage Garbage" from "excellent" to "great".
Although Lin Zaishan himself does not fully agree with this view, more than one friend in the music circle said: Luo Dayou is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Music" and has a car-carried work, but the "Stone" of Daming's School can sweep all the works of Luo Dayou. Similarly, although Cui Jian is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Rock" and has countless classic works, He Yong's "Bell and Drum Tower" can sweep all the works of Cui Jian.
Wen Yiduo, an expert in Tang poetry and famous scholar, commented on Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" as "a lonely article that is extremely profound and is for everyone." Wen Yiduo believes that even if Zhang Ruoxu only wrote the poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" in his life, he is qualified to become a "big guy" of the same level as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. Why? Because literary works rely on quality rather than quantity to speak, "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is so exciting and awesome!
In the eyes of many people, "Bell and Drum Tower" and "Stone Story" can be described as "solate chapters". These three works are all dreamy, flying fairy style, and not only cannot imitate future generations, but even the author himself cannot copy it!
Many people now know Liu Xinwu because of his "Revealing the Dream of Red Mansions". Liu Xinwu interprets "Dream of Red Mansions" with suspense and reasoning, which is quite fun.
Many people only know Liu Xinwu as a "Red Scientist", but not as a family member.
In fact, Liu Xinwu was once a very outstanding family and a representative writer of the "Beijing School" in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, he published a "Bell and Drum Tower", which was famous for its description of the daily lives of ordinary citizens in Beijing in the 1980s, which was called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" which was life in Beijing in the 1980s.
He Yong used music to create a work with the same name as Liu Xinwu, and his intention was very obvious.
Beijing’s Bell and Drum Tower is located on the north and south central axis of Beijing. In terms of practical value, the Bell and Drum Tower is a huge ruin, which has long lost its basic function of reporting time.
From the perspective of cultural value, the Bell and Drum Tower is a glorious monument, a landmark building that carries the glory of the past and the "central complex" of old Beijing. Therefore, the Bell and Drum Tower has the dual metaphor of time and space.
Most of the works of He Yong's "Garbage Garbage" play "emotion", while "Bell and Drum Tower" is not. "Bell and Drum Tower" has a description of life on site "The bicycle is pedaling on the fallen leaves, watching the sunset disappear, and the Yinding Bridge can no longer see clearly, and the western mountain"; there is a description of life details, "They are talking about the three long and two shorts of the family, and they are watching what brand of smoke you take out"; there is a reflection "The people working hard in the small restaurant are the villagers from other places, and their faces are like me"; there is a denial "Bell and Drum Tower sucking the dust smoke, letting you paint his face, I can't hear your voice, and it's too noisy and messy now"; and finally a question about time and space is raised, "You have been watching for so long, why don't you speak?", a metaphysical thinking and ultimate search "Who asked the question so difficult? There are correct answers everywhere."
Yu Qiuyu used all the vicissitudes of life and tried all the sensational skills that failed to achieve. He Yong inadvertently achieved the "Bell and Drum Tower" to write a sense of historical heaviness and a great feeling that goes beyond personal experience and sigh.
The lyrics of this song are well written, and the musical structure is actually very exquisite. It not only uses the three strings and flutes of the national musical instruments, but also incorporates the elements of Beijing qinshu and Beijing rhyme drums. Its use of traditional Beijing folk art is not deliberately or abrupt, making people sound very comfortable.
On this day, after singing "Bell and Drum Tower", Lin Zaishan's heart has always been a kind of indulgent feeling that he can never go back. He is in a very "chaotic" state, but because of his strong strength, he passed the most difficult first level with the level. He and Li Xiaoni successfully won today's competition championship on the beacon tower of the Great Wall.
Chapter completed!
