Those unforgettable long movie songs (1)

The theme song "Let's row" of the movie "Flowers of the Motherland". Liu Chi wrote two pieces for this song. With a snort, it was neck and neck. Director Gong Yan came up with an idea for the children to hear which is better. In the end, everyone unanimously chose this song handed down now, on the grounds that it was "like a song sung by a child." The other one is beautiful, but more like a lyric song sung by young people.

"Let's paddle" can leave a deep impression on the road of life. It blends into the times, grasps the essence of the times and beats with the pulse of the times. It embodies pure emotion and noble soul. As Qiao Yu himself said, let him write another "Let's Row" by Song Like, which will never surpass "Let's Row".

1956 After changchun film studio finished filming Shangganling, director Sha Meng asked Qiao Yu to write lyrics for the theme song. On the evening of invitation, he boarded the bus from Nanchang to Shanghai, and Yuan, director of Shanghai Film Studio, arranged the train to Changchun. After the meeting between Sha Meng and Qiao Yu, Sha Meng gave Qiao Yu a message: The film "Shangganling" has been shot and the sample has been cut. Leave only a few minutes of the episode, and then make up the film when the song comes out. All actors spend a lot of money every day. Therefore, Sha Meng asked Qiao Yu to write quickly, and asked the song to be passed down forever.

Qiao Yu wanted to take a different writing path when writing lyrics, but he couldn't think of it. Sha Meng came to his room almost every day to rush the manuscript, and Qiao Yu had no choice. It was not until he remembered the scene of seeing the Yangtze River in Jiangxi that he wrote the lyrics. After reading the manuscript of My Motherland for half an hour, Sha Meng asked why the Yangtze River or the Yangtze River Wan Li was not used in the first sentence. Qiao Yu thinks that writing like this may make people who are not near the Yangtze River feel psychologically distant and lose their intimacy. Finally, Sha Meng accepted Qiao Yu's idea.

Sha Meng asked Liu Chi to compose music for My Motherland. In order to make people like this song, Liu Chi investigated and studied the songs that people like to sing from 1949 to 1955, and selected ten songs to listen to repeatedly. Finally, he found the first sentence of my motherland from the first sentence of one of Lugou's questions and answers. When Liu Chi was writing Xiao Bai Lou in changchun film studio, in order to avoid outside interference, he posted a note "Liu Chi is dead" on the door.

In order to find a suitable singer to sing My Motherland, Chang Ying invited a group of singers who are good at singing China folk songs, but the effect was not satisfactory. Later, Guo was asked to sing. After Guo's audition, she was chosen as the singer of this song. This song was recorded in china national radio, and the next day after the recording was completed, the radio station broadcasted this song to the whole of China.

"Why are the flowers so fresh? Alas, they are so rare that people are reluctant to leave. They were watered with the blood of youth ... "The song" Why Flowers Are So Red ",which was full of tenderness and sadness in those days, resounded throughout the country with the release of" The Visitor on the Iceberg "and has been enduring ever since.

This song actually comes from two Xinjiang folk songs with strong national flavor. Composer Lei Zhenbang specially invited Lei Lei, the daughter of the first grade, to audition, singing and changing until she was satisfied. In order to make the singing method of the song more in line with the theme of the film, Lei Zhenbang also gave repeated instructions to Li Shirong, the lead singer of the song in the film.

Li Shirong later recalled the scene of practicing singing this song at that time, saying, "At that time, the thought was really simple and simple, and love songs should be avoided. How should this song be sung at that time? We should also sing according to revolutionary songs. The plot of this song in the story is like this. Amir sang to Gulantan not to express her love, but to test whether she was a real Gulantan or a fake Gulantan. Fake Gulantan can't sing this song. Lei Zhenbang inspired me to say that "Why are flowers so red" appeared at this time, so when you sing "Why are flowers so red", you should be alert and don't feel courtship. After repeated practice, I finally grasped the feeling that Amir sang this song at that time. "

Wu Xiang, the wife of Mr. Miyagi, recalled the scene at that time: "When writing the ode to heroes, it was 1962. At this time, Wu and Liu Chi came to the house to look for it. Gong Mu told me that they asked me to write lyrics, and I didn't want to go. I am a rightist with my hat off, and I don't know what I will say when I finish writing. Later, Wu, Liu Chi insisted on pulling him to write, and Gong Mu was dragged away by them. He came back the next afternoon and said that he had written four lyrics. I asked him, where did your new ideological foundation come from? What is the bottom spirit? He said that I wrote a poem praising the martyrs a few years ago. I feel that the movie Heroes and Children has something to do with that poem. It's all about heroes. Liu Chi told me the script and theme, and then I wrote it.

After seeing the lyrics of "Ode to a Hero" written by Gong Mu, Liu Chi didn't immediately start composing music, but took his friends to play poker, which is also a major feature of his creation. His creative inspiration is often generate in entertainment. When everyone was in a good mood, Liu Chi suddenly threw the cards on the table and went home to refuse all interruptions and began to compose music.

The melody of Ode to a Hero is inspired by Bater Tao Tao Hue, a folk song of Yike Zhaomeng in Ordos Grassland. 1940, Liu Chi went to Inner Mongolia to collect folk songs and lived in the home of an outstanding folk singer Wang Yuefeng. Every night is like a concert, singing and drinking all night, while Liu Chi keeps recording music every night. When he wrote Ode to a Hero, he took the folk song Bater Hu as the seed, which laid a magnificent style for his works.

Ji Kang was a little sad to see that his efforts were failing, and Lei Zhenbang was reluctant to part with it. As a composer, Lei Zhenbang has heard many folk songs of ethnic minorities and written many songs in this field. He asked Ji Kang, "Can you change the dialogue into duet?" Ji Kang was surprised at first, and then said, "Right Song? Ok! " Excited, I blurted out two more poems: "Dali is beautiful in March, and butterfly spring is easy to dress up. Butterflies come to collect nectar. Why did A-mei comb her hair? " "Suzaku flew over the top of the mountain, leaving a string of ringing bells ..." She wrote all the lyrics of Five Golden Flowers in one breath. Based on his own research and accumulation of Yunnan folk songs, Lei Zhenbang revised and composed the lyrics. The nearly "withered" five golden flowers were finally resurrected because of the "duet".
