Chapter 150 Bulletin Board Five Gods Made A Hundred Years Ago!
Han Zhou never expected that it was not the movie that won the award, but the song.
"oops."
The staff member was confused: "Mr. Han, is it... that you can't perform? Wasn't it confirmed last night that there is no problem?"
Han Zhou: "It's okay, I can perform."
After the staff confirmed it and left, Han Zhou patted his thigh: "What a loss!"
Wang Xiya was confused: "What's wrong?"
Han Zhou was annoyed: "I didn't know that American teenagers actually liked songs like "The Last of the Mohicans". What I prepared was a ballad."
"If I had known they liked this, I would have performed "Song of the Eagle" or simply "Beyond the Trail of Tears."
Wang Xiya was even more confused: "What song is the Eagle's Song? What is it beyond the tears? Newly written??"
Han Zhou: "Ah... well, I haven't published the newly written one yet. I will publish it again when I have the opportunity to really enter North America."
When Han Zhou was preparing, he wanted to choose a song to sing at the National College Choice Awards.
A lot of things were automatically retrieved in my mind.
There are two lists among them, one is the most popular songs among teenagers over the years.
One is the most popular hit among North American college students for a century.
What is surprising is that there are actually only five songs among the most popular hits among North American college students over the past century.
Each song spans two eras and is basically invincible within twenty years.
Han Zhou finally struggled with two songs, one was "Five Hundred Miles" and the other was "Scarborough Fair".
"Five Hundred Miles" is a song about being far away from home, having nothing, and starting to struggle.
It will definitely be welcomed by all college students, because most college students in North America did not go to college locally at all, so this song is a killer song for college students and working-class people.
It is also a killing blow to immigrants.
However, Han Zhou finally chose "Scarborough Fair".
To be precise, Han Zhou chose "Castro Market".
This is actually the same song, but the translation name is different.
But! These are actually two songs.
The original version was originally called "Scarborough Fair" and it was a song sung by a male voice, a sound of nature.
This song satirizes and even denounces Unsa's war actions. It is based on the lyrics of a folk song that has been circulated in England for hundreds of years, recomposing the music and changing the lyrics.
When this song appeared, it was when the United States was attacking Banana Country.
Anti-war sentiment surged, and throughout the two decades, the song was unbeatable.
If, if the lyrics of this song had not been changed, it had not been plotted, and it had not been robbed, it would not have been twenty years, but fifty or one hundred years.
If the lyrics had not been changed, there would be no need to choose this list anymore. There is no song that can replace it!
However, some people denounce it, while others cover it up.
Decades later, another British female singer deleted the part of the lyrics that satirized Anzai warmongers and sang the song again.
Since then, the original version, which once overshadowed an era and conquered thousands of fans, has disappeared.
And this female singer's version has changed the song from a song that denounces war to a song of pure love between two pussy.
Because I changed the lyrics twice, the song sounds good, but the lyrics sound like a lunatic and completely illogical.
Han Zhou just suspected that he was mentally ill, but not crazy. Of course he would not sing the new version.
On the Chinese Internet, searching for "Scarborough Fair" will not find the original Simon version of this song, only the new version sung by the British female singer.
On the Chinese Internet, you need to search for "Castro Fair" to find the original version. ("scarboroughfair" simongarfunkel)
Even the lyrics in the encyclopedia have been changed.
And what Han Zhou is going to sing is the version of "Castro Fair".
While Han Zhou was thinking, the host and guests on the stage suddenly called Han Zhou's name.
"Most Popular Summer Song Award, shortlisted, Han Zhou, Hua Guo, "Summer Soseki"."
They translated the song's title into "Summer Soothing Rock".
Han Zhou didn't expect that there would be another show and a song that would be shortlisted.
In fact, after Han Zhou's "The Last of the Mohicans" became popular across America, many people went looking for Han Zhou's songs to listen to.
But, they can’t understand Chinese songs.
Only "The Ordinary Road" is the most popular.
However, Han Zhou also has an English song, "Summer Soseki", so this song was wildly sought after by the majority of fans and was directly praised at the award ceremony.
The Most Popular Summer Song Award should actually be translated as the Summer Song Award.
For college students and teenagers, this award is given to the song that is most suitable for listening to in your free time during the holidays.
Best for listening to at the pool, beach, or party.
Therefore, although "Summer Soseki" contains the word "summer", it was too reluctant to win the award.
This song is hard to get high at a party.
The final winner was the band Polaris from England.
Han Zhou saw someone he knew, the woman in the gym.
It turned out to be called Emine.
The award ceremony is still going on, the host: "The next award is also a widely watched award, and the number of voters is among the top five of all awards."
"Most Popular Pure Music Award."
"Four pieces of music were selected."
"Kafu, the theme song "Crazy War" of the game "War Paradise" version 7.4!"
"Binske, "Cowbell", the theme song of the movie "The Voice of Makino"!"
"Wal Foster, Spain, piano piece "The Waves"!"
"Han Zhou, Hua Guo, "The Last of the Mohicans"!"
The award guest was an American movie star, to be precise, the Oscar winner, Thomas, who is in his fifties.
Thomas glanced at the card and smiled: "Congratulations! Han Zhou, "The Last of the Mohicans"!"
Host: "Please, Mrhan!"
Han Zhou stood up, Wang Xiya stretched out his hand, and Han Zhou bent down to hug Wang Xiya again.
Then he got up and walked to the stage.
Wearing flip-flops, Han Zhou appeared on the stage, quickly triggering intense whistles and screams.
You must know that in the back row of the scene, there are judging panels from twenty-five universities.
And among the twenty-five best universities in the United States, a very high proportion of students like "The Last of the Mohicans".
They voted this song to the first place, and voted this song into the top five in a category that usually does not receive much attention.
If "The Last of the Mohicans" had been selected for the Most Popular Song Award (Male Singer), I'm afraid it would have won first place.
Moreover, the top 25 universities in the United States have a very high proportion of Chinese international students.
In all the top universities in California, where Los Angeles is located, it feels like you have returned to China as soon as you enter. There are Chinese students and local Chinese everywhere.
Han Zhou winning the award was also a huge incentive for this group, so the Chinese student representatives at the scene screamed particularly fiercely.
Han Zhou smiled and waved, and Thomas handed over a huge surfboard: "Congratulations, I also like this song very much. I have listened to it no less than thirty times."
Han Zhou smiled: "Thank you."
Looking back, it's time to give my acceptance speech.
Han Zhou put his surfboard on the ground, held it up, and approached the microphone: "I deserve this award... I deserve it."
Many people at the scene were confused. Although in North America, everyone prefers direct expression, celebrities have become more and more polite in recent years, and everyone's impression of Chinese people is that they are humble. Isn't this person different?
Han Zhou continued: "Because everyone likes it so much, it's impossible not to win the award."
"Thank you to all college students across the United States for their support, and thank you to all teenagers across the United States for their vote."
"I will bring you more good music in the future."
"I would also like to thank my music production team, the music production team of New World Entertainment."
"grateful."
The host smiled: "Han, it's performance time, can we enjoy your wonderful music live?"
Han Zhou smiled: "This... you need to pay more."
The scene was awkward, and everyone soon realized that it was a joke, and burst into laughter instantly.
Han Zhou: "Oh, by the way, I paid the money, but I forgot about it. How about we just start the performance?"
Of course the people at the scene knew that it was impossible to pay, and it was still a serial joke.
The host smiled: "Shall I keep it for you?"
Han Zhou: "I'll hold it and sing, I'm afraid you'll take my surfboard away."
"I'm also going to try out this surfboard to see if it works."
This joke is more American, but it's not very funny. But in this kind of situation, there is always a shill: "Hahahahaha, quack quack!"
Song information appeared on the screen behind it.
Words: Han Zhou
Music: Han Zhou
Arranger: Han Zhou
As soon as the beautiful music started, many people at the scene felt much relieved.
It’s a very nice song, and it’s a folk song?
Many people are looking forward to this man who is too mysterious for North America to speak.
“Are you going to scarborough fair?
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Turnip, sage, rosemary and thyme
Say hello to one of the girls there for me
She was once my lover."
The sound of nature!
Han Zhou's voice, a male voice, sang as beautifully as fairy music.
This is not a question of singing skills, Chun Chun has a good voice and a good tone.
Many people at the scene were very surprised.
This sounds too good, right?
But why are the lyrics so weird?
This lyrics is too strange for Europeans and Americans, and it may not be easy for Chinese people to understand why it is strange.
So let’s translate this lyrics accurately.
“Are you going to the farmers market?
Coriander, star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns.
Say hello like a girl for me.
She was once my lover."
What is all this??????
But with such a nice song, such a natural voice, and such nonsensical lyrics? Does it have a deep meaning? Or is it just for fun?
The answer is gradually given in the next paragraph.
"Ask her to make me a linen shirt
(Next to the hill deep in the green forest)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Chasing birds on brown snow-capped mountains)
No sewing or needlework is required on it
(The mountains are the carpets and sheets for the children of the mountains)
She will be my true love
(During his deep sleep, he was unaware of the sound of the trumpet calling)"
Han Zhou only sang the first line, and there was a voice similar to a female voice, which was recorded in the accompaniment track.
Putting it together, it's terrifying.
The voice of nature sings a ghost story.
In other words, it is the nostalgia of the deceased for the survivor.
Why make a linen shirt by a hill deep in the green forest?
To make a linen shirt, why not use needles and threads or seams?
What kind of people use mountains as their carpets and mattresses?
Why is the trumpet calling in deep sleep?
Because there is a lonely tomb on the hill.
Because the body bag is a piece of clothing, but it doesn't need to be sewed.
Of course, people buried underground use mountains as mattresses.
The sleeper hears the call in his deep sleep.
Many people realize that this song is not that simple, and it is not a joke.
With the most natural male voice, singing such serious lyrics achieves such a pleasant and soul-purifying effect. It is too powerful and adds infinite charm to the lyrics!
In the new version of "Scarborough Fair", the sounds in the background are completely deleted, leaving only the singer's voice.
Without the supplement of background singing, the lyrics are just like a psycho.
"Ask her to find a piece of land for me
(A few small leaves of grass beside the hill)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(The falling silver tears wash over the tomb)
Right between the salt flats and the sea
(The soldier wipes his gun)
She will be my true love..."
This lonely grave is buried here alone. My former lover has never visited this lonely grave.
Ask her to find me a piece of land, hopefully somewhere with coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme, between the salt flats and the sea.
Why? Because this is her home.
Can you take me home? Can you not let me sleep in this strange place?
Have you forgotten? You are my lover!
This lyrics is completely written backwards.
Do you think this is a song of true love? Is it a way of remembering your lover when he dies?
No, this is a denunciation, a denunciation of the vows made to each other, but in the end they were nakedly forgotten.
However, once the background singing in brackets is deleted, the lyrics become beautiful memories of love.
To delete the parentheses is to be nakedly condemned, condemned to music, betraying human integrity.
But that’s right, a lover can be forgotten and left dead in the wilderness, so why won’t the lyrics be changed? The fact that the lyrics are changed is one of the things that this song wants to denounce, isn’t it?
"Tell her to harvest with a sickle
(The scarlet bullets are accompanied by the rumble of war drums)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
bundled with heather
(Fighting for a long-forgotten cause)
She will be my true love"
The people behind the war, using sickles, harvested coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme, and heather in sunny and warm places.
The people at the front of the war were harvested by the god of death, and their blood flowed into rivers in a dark and humid place. They were left alone forever in an unknown corner.
Did you think this was the end?
Next time, the noble generals wearing cross badges will use this corpse that has been forgotten forever in a dark and damp place as an excuse to start a war again.
Those who start wars kill people, kill their own people, and forget about them.
Who will become the new reason to be forgotten?
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
Say hello to one of the girls there for me
She was once my lover..."
When the song reaches the end, it is repeated for the first time.
This time, the whole place was silent.
Silent than Silent Hill.
In the first paragraph, everyone thought it was a beautiful love story.
Although sad, it may be the beautiful yearning for love after missing it.
The last paragraph is still the same word.
But everyone knows it.
What kind of bullshit love? A hundred times a day to avoid falling into traps.
After death, there is not even a shroud!
No one took him home!
No one buried him where others lived.
Do you really think those spices refer to spices? Aren’t those spices the smoke of human smoke?
How many white bones are crying in the lonely wilderness without fireworks?
Or even, are spices really just spices?
This is a cannibalistic world.
European and American teenagers, do you have any brains? Are you still going to step into this trap?
This song is about saying hello to her former lover?
This song makes people ask, old friend, does the person next door to your mother have a conscience? Is the person next door to your mother a human being? Does the person next door to your mother still have the laws of heaven and kings?!!!
This is not a greeting, this is a condemnation, a rebuke, and a hatred for naked lies!
Is this song "Castro Fair"? Or "Scarborough Fair"?
No, the song is called "I Got Fucked"!
Students all love to think.
Although in North America, a large number of ordinary people can only think about one thing at a time.
But that's not the case for college students.
At this time, countless people in major universities across the United States are trembling in their souls.
In major colleges and universities across the United States, summer is as cold as an ice cave.
The melodious music, natural singing, and cruel lyrics formed the most terrifying contrast, a terrifying hell on earth.
If "The Last of the Mohicans" is a silent cry.
So this time, it was a cry of despair.
However, Mohicans are not even qualified to cry, and the Internet does not allow Mohicans to cry.
However, others still have the right to cry.
Many people who were not interested in "The Last of the Mohicans" felt like they had found their soul guide when they heard "Castro Fair".
This world is sick, you are sick, I am sick, everyone is sick, "Castro Fair" is proof of this.
At the scene, there was an explosion of applause and screams, followed by silence.
Han Zhou approached the microphone: "A song of "Castro Fair" is dedicated to all teenagers and college students in the United States."
"I hope you can learn to think independently."
"If you can, pass this song on as a family heirloom to the next generation."
"By the way, any form of changes to the lyrics of this song is prohibited."
"Thanks."
Han Zhou was carrying a surfboard, wearing flip-flops and a flashy Hawaiian sun shirt. Amid crazy applause and screams, he walked off the stage and strolled down the aisle, so dazzling among the crowd.
Some people's eyes changed.
Become to look at him like a god.
Han Zhou was walking when he suddenly stopped: "Oh, the surfboard is so heavy."
Two singers who had never met before got up, one held the tail of the surfboard, and the other lifted the head of the surfboard.
"You rest, we will do the heavy work!"
"Han!"
The scene exploded with cheers.
"Han!"
"I love you!"
"You are a hero!"
It’s easy to get scolded for writing this. I was very emotional today and I decided to write it after thinking about it for a long time. The effect is explosive, and it’s a hundred times more meaningful and effective than a pop song.
