Chapter 258 In today’s situation, can this song work?
A gust of cold wind whirled under the sycamore tree in the translation factory.
Hu Xiao raised his head and looked at the bare branches: "I can't remember the specific name of the song."
"What should we do?"
"It doesn't matter," Hu Xiao hummed twice and cleared his throat: "Although I can't remember the name, I can sing it!"
"oh?"
After staying together in the factory for so long, Qiu Yuefeng had never seen the old factory director sing, so he quickly smiled and said:
"Sing a few lines first and listen."
Hu Xiao paused and started rapping: "Вставай, странаогромная, Вставайнасмертныйбой..."
As soon as I spoke, it was still in Russian.
Qiu Yuefeng on the side was shocked, opened his mouth and followed:
“Сфашистскойсилойтёмною, Спроклятоюордой.…”
The two people under the plane tree actually sang a Soviet song in unison.
The melody is low and sonorous.
The moment the two looked at each other, they would wave their arms and shout to the rhythm of the song.
In an office building not far away, several colleagues were crowding at the window to watch the excitement.
"I know the title of the song,"
As soon as he started singing a few words, Hu Xiao remembered:
""Holy war"."
Qiu Yuefeng, who was opposite, said it almost at the same time as the factory director.
"I used to sing this song often," Qiu Yuefeng recalled: "its status in the Soviet Union is no lower than that of "Katyusha"."
"These songs were quite popular in the past."
"Yes," Qiu Yuefeng smiled and nodded.
However, after laughing, he suddenly frowned: "The episode that Jiangshan wants to arrange for "Latent" is "Holy War"?"
"What, you don't think it sounds good?"
"That's not what I meant, but this is a Soviet song. If you put it now..."
Although Qiu Yuefeng did not continue speaking, his meaning was already very obvious.
After all, China is currently close to the United States and far away from the Soviet Union!
"He only used the tune of the song and made up the lyrics separately."
"If that's the case, it's more of the same."
There are so many Soviet songs adapted in China at present!
"..." But at this moment, Hu Xiao himself fell silent.
When Jiang Shan told him about this, Hu Xiao, who was well versed in this matter, also had the same concerns.
But Jiang Shan told him that in order to test the safety of this song, he actually conducted two months of research.
It turned out that "Nights on the Suburbs of Moscow" and "Troika", which were also adapted from Soviet songs, had never been broadcast on radio stations at all.
Including TV stations, they will also play a movie "Su Taizu in October" and "Su Taizu in 1918" from time to time.
Therefore, Comrade Jiang Shan, who has always been good at avoiding risks, released the theme song "Deep Sea" from "Latent".
Because this song "Deep Sea" is adapted from the Soviet Union's "Holy War".
"Don't worry," thinking of this, Hu Xiao patted Qiu Yuefeng on the shoulder: "Although Xiaojiang is young, he is not a fool!"
"What you said is quite to the point," Qiu Yuefeng said recently, often with a smile on his face:
"I used to see you talking about Jiang Shan a lot, but I didn't realize it. After gradually getting to know him, I quite like him now."
"Come on," Hu Xiao revealed the secret: "The reason you like him is entirely because he helped you get a place in a state-owned factory."
"It makes sense, hahahaha,"
When he mentioned this, Qiu Yuefeng smiled even wider: "Do you know what my lover said about Xiao Jiang?"
"What did you say?"
"This Comrade Jiangshan is simply your lucky star. Ever since he chose the radio drama "Latent", first the TV set and then the quotas were transferred. You can get whatever you want!"
"It's true." Hu Xiao thought about it carefully, then continued to pat Qiu Yuefeng: "Old Qiu, it's time for you to change things."
After saying this sentence, Lao Qiu almost shed tears.
"Jiangshan told me the same thing."
"oh?"
"He said that the luck I accumulated in the first half of my life will be realized in the second half of my life."
"It's still the first half of your life," Hu Xiao could imagine Jiang Shan's mysterious face at this moment: "You are already over 50."
"Look, you don't have anyone, Xiao Jiang, who can talk."
"..." Hu Xiao paused: "For God's sake, why don't you hurry back and figure out where to insert the episode."
"Okay old factory director," Qiu Yuefeng smiled and waved to him: "I swear I will work hard."
Seeing Lao Qiu turning away, Hu Xiao, who was smiling, suddenly thought of something: "How is your daughter's affairs going?"
"It's almost done,"
Qiu Yuefeng stopped and said, "There are too many certificates to be opened. Fortunately, they were all handed over to the factory yesterday."
"Is this the end?"
"No way, but we don't have to run away later. The synthetic agent factory will just let us wait at home."
"Okay, okay," Hu Xiao said three times in a row: "As long as the program starts running, it will be fast."
"I think so," Qiu Yuefeng said with a long breath, "I just don't know if the child can go home in time for the New Year."
"I see no problem,"
Hu Xiao took a few steps toward him: "Come on, come with me to get Xiao Jiang's newly composed lyrics. Let's get a feel for it first."
"Has he already written the lyrics?"
"Don't forget, his main job is to write and draw. For him, writing lyrics is just something he can do at his fingertips."
After reading the lyrics of "Deep Sea" sent by Jiang Shan, Hu Xiao was not surprised at all, he just felt that this was something he would do.
However, when Qiu Yuefeng took the song book, he actually sang along with the song on the spot:
"Dream of light in the dark night, my heart is covered with sadness, endure loneliness in sadness, and keep a trace of warmth..."
Hu Xiao, who was sitting aside, patted his thigh rhythmically.
After a while: "Don't tell me, it sounds quite suitable to the plot of "Insidious"."
"Holy War Hymn", known as the second national anthem of the Soviet Union, has appeared in the TV series "Insidious" and "Soldiers Assault".
Interestingly, this song has several different lyrics versions in our country.
In addition to the lyrics of "Deep Sea", there are also the General Political Department Song and Dance Ensemble version and the People's Liberation Army Choir version.
However, no matter which version, once it is sung, it will be very exciting and inspiring.
The reason for this is that we have to admire the excellence of the human music score.
In June 1941, the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.
After learning that thousands of towns had been destroyed by the war, the angry Soviet poet Lebedev wrote a famous poem:
"Arise, Huge Home"
Soon, Alexandrov composed this poem into a song overnight.
And the next day, he wrote the song on the blackboard in the rehearsal hall of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe.
In just a few days, the entire song and dance troupe learned the song "Holy War."
It is said that when the song and dance troupe came to the train station platform to sing this song for the soldiers who were about to go to the front line.
The exhausted soldiers all stood up and applauded them.
The cry of "Sing again, sing again..." surrounded the entire train station.
After that, the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe either went to the front line, or used radio, telephone...
[Rise up, huge country, and fight to the death...]
As long as there are Soviet troops fighting, this song "Holy War" will definitely sound.
Even after the war is over, this war song will still be sung at every military parade and victory anniversary.
"My faith is the bottomless ocean..."
After Qiu Yuefeng left the office, Hu Xiao, who was still worried, called Gu Zhengzheng again: "Hello~"
"What are you singing?" Gu Zhengzheng on the other end of the phone knew it was Hu Xiao as soon as he heard it: "You can actually sing?"
"You can help me think about something,"
Hu Xiao doesn't want to quarrel with his old friend now. He only cares about one thing now: "Xiao Jiang composed an interlude for the radio drama "Latent"."
"Xiao Jiang would do this again?" Gu Zhengzheng heard this and thought it was outrageous.
"It's not difficult. The song belongs to someone else." Hu Xiao thought it might be okay to let him do it: "He took it over and re-arranged some lyrics."
"foreign?"
"Guessed it right."
"Then there's nothing else to consider, just sing."
The days before I joined an intellectual property organization were very sunny!
"But the song is Soviet,"
It's not that Hu Xiao doesn't believe Jiangshan's survey results, he just wants to ask professionals again: "You also know the recent domestic situation, right?"
Before Hu Xiao finished speaking, Gu Zhengzheng's words came over again: "What type of song?"
"Song of Resistance to Fascism."
"The old song is fine," Gu Zhengzheng's next words completely reassured Hu Xiao: "You know "Cranberry Flowers Bloom", right?"
"Beside the fields and rivers~the cranberry flowers are blooming?" Hu Xiao seemed to be addicted to singing.
"Yes, that's the song." Director Gu just got a record: "Just a few months ago, Luo Tianchan recorded this Soviet song into his new album."
"Who is Luo Tianchan?" Hu Xiao thought it sounded a bit familiar.
"Play the tambourine and sing a song~"
Now it was the turn of Gutai Chang to sing: "I'm riding a horse over the hillside..."
"It was just recorded this year? Are you sure?"
"It's just sitting on my desk, how can it still be fake?"
"Huh~" Hu Xiao leaned back in his chair: "Okay, now I can finally feel relieved."
"Which song is Jiangshan using?"
"The song is called "Holy War", have you heard of it?"
"Where are his new lyrics?"
"Why do you ask?" Hu Xiao immediately sat up straight.
"Why do you ask me?" Gu Zhengzheng said with a smile: "What, can you find an accompaniment band for this song?"
When Gu Zhengzheng learned that Jiangshan was interested in "Holy War", he immediately thought of the magnificent soundtrack lineup of this song.
"Can you find it?"
"Nonsense," Director Gu was very arrogant now: "Do you know who I have been hanging out with recently?"
"Me."
Gu Zhengzheng seemed not to have heard: "He Zhanhao from Pujiang Conservatory of Music, Guqin master Gong Yi..."
"Wait a minute...are you talking about the He Zhanhao who wrote the "Butterfly Lovers" concerto?"
"Yes!"
"Okay," Hu Xiao thought it was great: "I will send someone to give you the lyrics soon..."
"Just leave it to me."
"Why have you gotten closer to them recently?"
"The city is currently preparing for the "Pujiang Spring" next spring, so I will have to keep in touch with them."
"It's a good thing." Hu Xiao felt that Jiangshan's luck was really good: "He Zhanhao from the Conservatory of Music needs people and talents, but..."
"But what?"
"But will he do this for you?"
"You're kidding, I'm the master of one."
"Associate."
"Hurry up and send me the lyrics of Jiangshan!"
…
In the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Nathan Road in Hong Kong, under the cheers of bursts of applause, all the cameras focused on the twenty kittens on the stage.
These twenty beautiful cats will have the honor to enter the final round of "The King of Cats in Hong Kong".
On the stage, Zhong Chuhong, wearing a white plush cat suit, stood next to the host Fatty Shum Dianxia with a bright smile.
In front of a wall of white cat laundry detergent advertising posters, the two of them laughed and chatted with each other, while helping the cat scavengers on the stage soothe the cats.
The twenty cats that advanced to the finals not only had different coat colors, but also various breeds.
Some of them were of unknown origin, and the audience in front of the TV said it was eye-opening!
Just when the audience wanted to take another look at the contestants on the stage, an advertisement for White Cat washing powder suddenly jumped on the screen.
Compared with the previous 30-second advertisement by Xiangjiang Advertising Company, which was a combination of live-action and animation,
This advertisement, which only lasts for five seconds, has very little technology and funding.
However, this fleeting advertisement made all the viewers in front of the TV shout: No!
