Conte de printemps

1992 in the spring, the powerful news that "the oriental wind is full of spring" in the south flew all over the country like wings. In Mulin County, Heilongjiang Province, the northernmost part of China, Jiang Kairu, vice chairman of CPPCC County, who just retired to the second line, was shocked by the passionate narrative above with a newspaper. Shenzhen, a small border town that he 1979 passed by when he/she went to visit relatives in Hong Kong, really turned into a modern new city in a blink of an eye? I can't get rid of the idea that if I want to see it, I have to see if it's true. He really carried the only 2000 yuan in his family to the south. Dong Wenhua, the singer of The Story of Spring, walked out of Shenzhen Railway Station, and Jiang Kairu suddenly lost his mind. Isn't this Hong Kong? Looking back, the two characters "Shenzhen" are clearly written on the railway station building, which is still the inscription of Xiaoping. Oh, really Shenzhen! Compared with the same country in Shenzhen where he/kloc-walked 0/3 years ago, it's almost like a lifetime ago. If you have never seen everything wither in the severe winter, how can you be surprised to see spring buds bloom? Jiang Kairu, following the footsteps of great men, really felt the sound of spring on the Shenzhen street just passed by Comrade Xiaoping. A scene came to his mind-just at 1979, when he went to Hong Kong to visit relatives, Comrade Xiaoping was also in Guangdong. After listening to the report of a leading comrade of the provincial party Committee, he said: First, find a place in Guangdong, run a special economic zone, and fight our way out ... Jiang Kairu's heart is constantly hit by the words "fight our way out". As a veteran, he knows what it means to fight our way out. Xiaoping commanded an army of more than one million, and he would never say this sentence easily. If he did, it would mean the last resistance, bloodshed and success. At the same time, a picture appeared in Jiang Kairu's mind: Comrade Xiaoping stood in front of the big map of China, pointing out the mountains and rivers, looking for the breakthrough of China's economic take-off and the ideal place to set up a special economic zone. He found Shenzhen on the south coast of China, and drew a circle here ... This feeling is mixed with the fragrance of spring. The lyrics that aroused the warm resonance and longing in my heart flowed like a clear spring: "Story of Spring ..."1March, 994, it was another spring. The Guangdong Youth Song Creation Competition sponsored by the Communist Youth League Committee, the Provincial Youth Federation and the Provincial Music Association set off a craze, and hundreds of participating songs flocked to the city divisions. In Shenzhen, The Story of Spring, composed by Jiang Kairu and Wang Yougui, failed. Dong Wenhua sang "The Story of Spring". Jiang Kairu and Wang Yougui were a little depressed, but they were unwilling to let this song die, thinking about it, hoping to find a master to "bring it back to life". Wang Yougui, the composer of this song, thought of Ye Xuquan, then deputy director of Shen Dong Water Affairs Bureau and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Federation. He graduated from the Chinese Department of South China Normal University, and was already an amateur writer active in Shenzhen. On an ordinary day, Ye Xuquan warmly received two songwriters who arrived at your door. In Room 420 of the Reservoir Hotel, Jiang Kairu and Wang Yougui handed the unsuccessful songs to Ye Xuquan, hoping that he would revise and recommend them. Ye Xuquan looked at the lyrics carefully and was confident. He said, "What a good embryo. There may be a hope of being selected after pruning. Let me try. " At that time, Ye Xuquan had been working in Shenzhen for 14 years, which can be said to be a generation who grew up with the SAR. Peasant children who grew up drinking Dongjiang water have personally experienced and witnessed the earth-shaking changes brought by the reform and opening up to the SAR, especially the ever-changing face of Shenzhen after 1992 Xiaoping's southern tour. He thinks it is really unique to use spring as a metaphor for such an important political and historical event. It's just that the original text is a bit lengthy, and the original intention is only to focus on Shenzhen, and some words are not accurate enough to cause ambiguity. In order to save this song with a new idea and a good theme, Ye Xuquan immediately set out to make a bold second creation in terms of structure, conception and diction. His principle is: simplify the structure, improve the realm, and get rid of the weeds and save the cyanine. Simplify the structure: change the three paragraphs of the original lyrics into two paragraphs, shorten the original song of more than seven minutes to about four and a half minutes, eliminate the procrastination of the lyrics, be conducive to singing, and highlight two historic moments. Enhance the realm: in view of the disadvantages of the original lyrics that only talk about Shenzhen and write about Shenzhen, the songs are revised under the background and excellent situation of the country's reform and opening up, so that the songs can be sung nationwide, not in Shenzhen. For example, the first paragraph of the original lyrics, "1980, it was a spring, and a great man drew a special zone on the coast of South China", was changed to "1979, it was a spring, and an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea in China", which pushed the time forward by one year and set the background at 1978. Change the original lyrics "Ah, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, you are the experimental field of reform and opening up" to "Ah, China, China, you have stepped onto a new level and entered the spring of Vientiane renewal"; Change the original lyrics from "the rise of a mythical city" to "the rise of a mythical city" ... The idea of the whole song has risen from Shenzhen to the height of China, from the major events of special economic zones to the great cause of reform and opening up, and its connotation has been deepened and sublimated. Eliminate the weeds and save the seeds: make major changes to some politically inaccurate or ambiguous words in the original lyrics, and make them more appropriate and profound through personification and metaphor. For example, the original lyrics "A great man wrote a declaration on the seashore of South China" were changed to "An old man wrote a poem on the south coast of China". Because it is not accurate to use "South China" to mark "South", it is even more inappropriate to use "Declaration" to express the speech of an old man who has been transferred to the throne, and it is more appropriate to change it to "South China Sea" and "Poetry". In the original lyrics, "You broke free from the chains of poverty and entered the spring when it was warm and cold" to describe the environment of socialism and reform and opening up. The words "iron chain" and "cold at first" are easy to cause ambiguity and produce wrong associations. Later, it was changed to "You have opened a new picture for a hundred years, holding out colorful spring scenery", with correct positioning, magnificent momentum and beautiful scenery. After repeated deliberation, Ye Xuquan finally polished the Story of Spring. After the second creation, the lyrics have perfect structure, clear conception, rigorous wording and great momentum, which are endowed with new connotations. With new lyrics, composer Wang Yougui made great efforts again. This word is a bit funny in the eyes of some people. For example, "It was a spring in 1979, and an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea in China ..." In a word, 17 is like the vernacular. But Wang Yougui was not shaken by these remarks. He tried his best to appreciate the lyrics, and thought it was a good portrait, which made a very important political theme vivid and easy to understand. The word 17 is a paragraph in the composer's mind, not a sentence, and it will be difficult to write it into a phrase. Wang Yougui repeatedly reads the lyrics of The Story of Spring every day, and when he reads it, his feelings come out. He found a pitch suitable for ordinary people's peace of mind-that's not singing, but talking, peaceful, kind and touching. This is the musical theme described in The Story of Spring. Wang Yougui used music to turn irregular words into complete paragraphs, which enhanced his peaceful, simple, cordial and touching style on the basis of colloquialism. When composing music, it also combines the beauty of the south with the roughness of the north, erasing the unique musical style of the south or the north. This may seem like nothing, but it's nothing, and it's often everything. Although it is only a song, it has an epic momentum; It tells about big themes and big people, and at the same time, it is as real and delicate as the daily words of ordinary people, which makes people feel spring breeze and more cordial. In the song, a picture of reform and opening up slowly unfolds, and epoch-making events and great men reappear in front of us ... After several trials, the story of a brand-new spring is reborn. Ye Xuquan directly handed over the songs after the second creation to the jury of the Guangdong Youth Song Creation Competition. At this time, there were two completely different opinions among the judges. Most of the judges think that this is a political theme song, singing about reform and opening up, and it is a country song. Writing in popular sentences such as "draw a circle" and "an old man" is not serious enough. But the other two judges insisted that pop songs need this kind of popular writing full of life breath and fresh, appropriate and affectionate metaphors. This song is about the people's support for reform and opening up and their reverence for Comrade Xiaoping, and it is the true voice of the people. The story of spring once again stands at the fork of fate. The two judges believe that this masterpiece is out of danger again. Under their insistence and persuasion, other judges also changed their views. Finally, this song took the lead in Guangdong's "94 Youth Song Creation Competition" and won the gold medal, which made it famous in one fell swoop. The story of spring opens a bright new world. Ye Xuquan is confident that this song belongs to the times and is a perfect combination of politics and lyric, so it should be popular all over the country. So he thought of making this song-MTV, a MTV that just landed in China. However, at that time, he, Jiang Kairu and others were not rich, and it would cost hundreds of thousands to make a music TV movie! Ye Xuquan and songwriter Wang Yougui think that if they have no money, they must raise it themselves. Anyway, they should sing the story of spring! So Ye Xuquan returned to his hometown in Dongguan and found several middle school students to raise money. One of them, surnamed Lei, said excitedly after listening to this song: "Without it, there would be no reform and opening up, and I could not have the opportunity to change from a mechanic to a boss with a net worth of tens of millions!" Immediately decided to take out 654.38 million yuan to support Ye Xuquan. Several other students were also infected and generously donated money, which quickly raised 6.5438+0.6 million yuan. Subsequently, this song was passed on to Meng Xin of CCTV, Zhang Guoli, who is good at photography, and Dong Wenhua, a famous national singer, who touched these passionate artists. They all flew from Beijing to Shenzhen at their own expense, and Zhang Chunsheng, the current deputy secretary of the Guangdong Youth League Committee, also arrived in Shenzhen. Everyone unanimously expressed their willingness to shoot this MTV film. The planning, creativity, script and copywriting of the shooting were all carried out in Jinhu Hotel, Dongguan. Meng Xin, the chief planner, planned every night until 3 am for three days in a row, and Beijing's work phone was also chased for three days. Zhang Guoli, who just finished filming "Prime Minister Liu", volunteered to be the general director of the film and personally participated in the discussion and copywriting of the sub-shots; Singer Dong Wenhua pondered and practiced this song day and night until his voice was uncomfortable; Zhang Chunsheng took the lights and props together; Ye Xuquan and Wang Yougui are responsible for buying mineral water, lunch boxes and wires, and are willing to do odd jobs. 1994 10 This music video, which was created and planned by General Manager Meng Xin, directed and filmed by General Manager Zhang Guoli, and sung by Dong Wenhua, became an instant hit after being broadcast on CCTV. /kloc-won the gold medal in the second MTV competition of CCTV in February. At that time, "The Story of Spring" was sung all over the country and was very popular in China. Later, this song was selected as a large-scale documentary "Deng Xiaoping" and won 1995 "Five One Project Award" from the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China, 1996 "Golden Bell Award", the highest award of China Music Award, and the music award of Guangdong Luxun Literature and Art Award, making it the most awarded "Golden Melody Award" in China. As the song goes, Dong Wenhua said, "There is a spring tide between heaven and earth. This song has spread all over the world where there are China people, and it has become a song that truly represents the voice of China people and records the style of an era. The names of Jiang Kairu, Ye Xuquan and Wang Yougui have also been recorded in the music history of China.
