After Zheng Kai confidently clicked on the video, he was stunned. The beginning of the MV was a vast natural beauty with a long river and lush forests on both sides. If it wasn't for the lack of flow of the river and the lack of dense trees, it would almost be comparable to the scenery of the Mississippi River.
This video was very old. In the early years, the scenery of the Yellow River basin was not worse than that of the Yangtze River basin. There were still green trees everywhere.
However, since the reform and opening up, although the economy has developed, the living environment has become worse and worse. For the little resources, people cut down trees on a large scale. In the end, it caused irreparable soil erosion and the Yellow River became a veritable Yellow River. Not to mention the Yellow River, even the other mother river of the Celestial Empire, the Yangtze River, was now facing a great threat of water pollution.
He remembered that there was a cartoon drawn like this. There were two dragons in the picture. One of them said to the other, "Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I am the Yellow River."
However, the other dragon said, "Yellow River, Yellow River, I am also the Yellow River."
As soon as the video started, the title of the song appeared. It was the fifth movement of the Yellow River Chorus. Zheng Kai was a little dumbfounded. This was not a song of their era.
Young people nowadays liked to listen to pop songs. Who would dig out songs from a long time ago to listen to them?
At his age, the only songs about the Yellow River that he knew were "Defending the Yellow River" and "Loess High Slope." "Loess High Slope" was a popular song in the early years. His father liked it very much. Although his family had nothing to do with the Loess High Slope, it seemed that the people of that generation liked this song. He had also heard some of it.
As for "Defending the Yellow River," it should be a song that everyone could sing. This was a classic song of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Anti-Japanese War was an essential part of patriotism education. Every military song sung during military training in school would have a classic song like "Defending the Yellow River." This was much more specific than "Unity is Strength." It was easier to resonate with anyone.
But what the hell was "Yellow River Chorus"? It was the fifth movement. In other words, this song had more than one movement. It was scary just thinking about it. But on second thought, Jia Ling and Jing Tian seemed to be from Shanxi. They were likely to know this song. Perhaps he only needed to say the first line.
So he listened patiently.
"Zhang Laosan, let me ask you, where is your hometown?"
"My home is in Shanxi. It's three hundred miles away from the river."
Hearing this, Zheng Kai couldn't help but laugh. People in the past were really simple when they wrote songs. They didn't use any rhetoric at all and just said whatever they wanted to say. People nowadays were really crazy when it came to writing lyrics. In order to rhyme, they could write any illogical sentence.
For example, the most classic lyrics were "My hand through your black hair", "Suffocating to the point of not being able to breathe", "Only after meeting you did I realize how important you are to me". These lyrics were very smooth but contradictory.
He thought that this would be the end of it. After all, they were playing a game of message, not a game of song.
The option of dancing had been completely abandoned because the content of the lyrics could not be expressed through dancing.
"Zheng Kai, say something, say something!" Jia Ling anxiously picked up the loudspeaker and shouted at him. Jia Ling's eyesight was not bad. He saw that Zheng Kai had been looking at his phone for a while, but he saw that Zheng Kai was only looking at his phone and had not sent a message at all. He could not help but become anxious. After all, this game had a time limit. The agreed ten minutes had already been counted down from the moment Zheng Kai set off. More than a minute had passed. Time was tight. There were still more than 1,600 meters to run in the last few legs.
Zheng Kai also wanted to say something. He thought that he only had a few words to pass on, but thinking about it, it was simple.
But who knew that the music wasn't over yet. The majestic baritone in the video continued to sing:
"Let me ask you, do you farm or do you do business at home?"
"Take a hoe, plow the fields, and plant sorghum and millet."
Zheng Kai concentrated on memorizing the lyrics. As a Chinese song library, before today, this song was not in his mind, but after today, this song will definitely be deeply engraved in his mind. The Chinese song library has one more item in its inventory, oh yeah!
At the same time, Jia Ling was getting impatient. She held the loudspeaker and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zheng Kai! Say something! What's the point of wasting time? Tell me! "
Zheng Kai turned a deaf ear to Jia Ling's words and concentrated on memorizing. He even sang along with the video.
"Zhang Laosan, let me ask you, where is your hometown?"
Then he played the role of Zhang Laosan.
"My home is in Shanxi, three hundred miles away from the river."
Then, he switched back to the baritone voice. "Let me ask you, at home, do you farm or do you do business?"
"Take a hoe, plow the fields, and plant sorghum and millet."
He repeatedly practiced the pronunciation of the word "farmland" because when he sang it, "farmland" sounded too similar to "heaven and earth". If he sang "farmland" and Jia Ling heard it as "heaven and earth", wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
Therefore, no matter how much Jia Ling urged him, Zheng Kai still focused on practicing. There was a saying, "Sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting wood". It was also applicable in this matter. From this point of view, Zheng Kai was a very down-to-earth person.
This had something to do with the fact that he had been in the entertainment industry for so long. The more a person acted in a supporting role, the calmer they would be. This was because if they were not calm, they might not even get a supporting role.
Although the salary of a supporting role was destined to not be as high as that of the lead, it was better than nothing. More importantly, if the supporting role was good and could be remembered and left a deep impression, the next lead might be him. Therefore, actors would snatch scenes. Actors who did not snatch scenes did not exist at all. This was because the supporting role had to fight for a higher position, and the lead had to desperately maintain his position. Otherwise, he might wake up one day to find that he had been replaced. No one wanted this to happen. "."
