418: Prose Poem Written to My Father

"Listening, thinking, laughing, crying."

"This song is like a jar of old wine. Children can't drink it, teenagers don't know how to drink it, but now we are reluctant to drink it."

"The prosperity of the world, the passing of time, the story makes you and me unforgettable."

"I miss my past, I miss my nostalgia, I am heartbroken, but happy."

"Time turns today into yesterday. There are too many stories of myself and others. The emotions are taken away by the water, leaving only us each other."

"There is always a song that makes your eyes wet, but no tears flow down."

...

The people who write songs are attentive, the people who sing are attentive, and the people who listen to songs are touched. Countless audiences in front of the screen did not expect that there would be a tear gas bomb at the beginning.

The story will never end. Yesterday is today's story, today is tomorrow's story, all these stories are connected together to form a complete memory of life.

In the eyes of the audience, "The Story of Time" is not only a song, but also a mood. Just like the name "Django", it will eventually become a story of their past time.

At this time, Cai Fan, nicknamed "Little Fox" in "Extreme Challenge", was also watching "The Story of Time".

He is one of the three members of the first generation of Korean groups who returned to China, the other two are Xu Chenyi and Feng Yilun.

He is also good at composing. After listening to this song "The Story of Time", he admired Jiang Ge more and envied Xu Chenyi more.

The trivialities in the lyrics, "faded Christmas cards", "yellowed photos", "distant laughter", seem to be broken, but they are trying to recall the things of youth and connect the stories of youth. The youth of "waiting", "tears" and "memories" are all vivid, playing like a slide show about youth.

This song does not require superb skills or a gorgeous stage, but people who don't have a story of time can't sing it well, but who doesn't have a story of time?

Different people have different stories of time, and they sing with different emotions, but they can sing the same touching, which just shows the strength of the songwriter.

"There is also a theme ending song!"

Cai Fan is looking forward to it even more.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was a member of "Extreme Challenge", that he was competing with "The Story of Time", and that he was a competitor with Huafeng artists.

But so what, who would refuse Jiang Ge's new song?

Then,

after playing a GG of the sponsor, the screen suddenly became dark.

In the blink of an eye,

a beam of light fell, illuminating an elegant and beautiful figure.

"Who is this person?"

"The new host of Blueberry TV."

"No way, such an important program is hosted by a newcomer?"

"Who cares about her, as long as she looks good."

"Dignified and elegant, she has a great temperament."

"This scene is very impressive."

...

Chu Pianpian wore a pink suit, with a tassel scarf to enrich the layering of the shape. The overall fitted waist-cut version was tailored to highlight the proportion of the body, making it taller and thinner.

This dress amazed the audience in front of the screen. The light pink can set off the skin tone and enhance personal temperament. It will not give people the feeling of forced youth when used on a suit.

"I said, 'Dad, you go.' He looked out of the car and said, 'I'm going to buy some oranges. You stay here and don't move.'..."

"To get to the platform over there, you have to cross the railway, jump down and climb up again. My father is a fat man, so it's naturally more difficult to walk over..."

"At this time, I saw his back, and my tears flowed quickly."

...

Chu Pianpian spoke, her voice gentle but calm.

"This scene happened in 1917. At that time, Zhu Ziqing was studying at BJ University. His father went to Nanjing Pukou Railway Station to see him off. In the following years, the father and son had constant friction, and finally reconciled..."

"Until one day, Zhu Ziqing, who was already teaching at Tsinghua University, received a letter from his father in Yangzhou. The letter said, 'I am in good health, but my arms are in great pain. It is inconvenient to lift chopsticks and pens. I think the time of my death is not far away.' After receiving this letter, Zhu Ziqing wrote "Back View"..."

"Remember or not, say or not, father is there. He is a person we can see when we are born, but it may take us a lifetime to truly understand him."

...

Chu Pianpian exudes charm in every word and sentence on the stage. His reserved temperament gives him a sense of ease and calmness.

"Is this host Chen Xiaozi's girlfriend?" Jiang Yong remembered that he had seen her at the last party.

"Well, she is Ling Wei's best friend." Jiang Ge added an introduction.

"Is she the host of Blueberry TV?" Because Jiang Ge's TV series and Zhou Lingwei's variety show have been broadcast on Blueberry TV for more than a year, the parents of both sides have been watching Blueberry TV most of the time, but Jiang Yong has never seen Chu Pianpian.

"No, she is the vice president of Wei Ge Culture. I invited her to be the host of "The Story of Time." Jiang Ge explained.

"Very professional, much better than the hosts of Blueberry TV." Jiang Yong commented.

If a program wants to be exciting and successful, the host must have personal charm, so that it can be liked and welcomed by the public, so that the program can have a certain social impact and realize the value of the program itself.

The beauty of the host that attracts the audience is the personality charm of the host, including external and internal, such as temperament, adaptability, talent and knowledge, etc.

Jiang Yong's praise, as well as countless comments, prove Chu Pianpian's charisma as a host, and also prove Jiang Ge's vision.

At this time, Wu Xiuyun said with emotion: "Zhu Ziqing's "Back" is an article that looks simple and plain but can greatly shock people. The emotions are simple and unpretentious, the text is clear, meaningful and melancholy, and it is deeply touching. As "The Story of Time" "The father-themed opening of the first issue is the most appropriate."

Zhou Lingwei smiled and said: "This is recommended by Jiang Ge."

Django liked this article very much and decided to use it immediately. Although "buying oranges" on earth has become a hot meme on the Internet, as long as you read it seriously, it is touching. It’s not difficult to understand.

When it comes to this article, Jiang Yong seems to have a lot to say, thinking to himself: "Although Zhu Ziqing is 'just realistic', he has truly written about the blood relationship between father and son. There will also be friction. Family relationships will also have twists and turns, revealing the objective reality that "the moon waxes and wanes" and that people are worldly and complicated, and may make mistakes due to this. From this, "Back" is no longer as simple and superficial as other similar works. Even though I may have lost my "innocence", I have gained a solid and profound experience of compounding from multiple perspectives such as family and life."

Jiang Ge savored this passage carefully, and his understanding of his father changed slightly.

at the same time.

On the stage, Huafeng artists and special guests are sharing their stories.

Gu Yao - She has been playing small roles in Huafeng Media for ten years, but no one cares about her. However, she is still full of longing for her acting career. She is an optimistic sharer.

Pei Jie - He plays a dead body on the set, works as a stand-in, and does the dirtiest, hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous work, but he has no complaints. He is a sharer of hard work.

Mei Manlu - she debuted at the age of ten. She stepped away from the entertainment industry for her husband and children during her peak period, and came here boldly to pursue her dreams. She is a sharer of personality.

Hong Yi - he first showed his talents at the age of 36, and won the Best Actor at the age of 42. He is a complete "acting lunatic". He is always acting with his life and talking with his soul. He is a persistent sharer.

"The Story of Time" does not have a complicated form, it is just a person and a story. It can be said that this program is not noisy and has its own voice.

"My father, like Gu Yao's father, is not good at words."

"After listening to Mei Manlu's story, I couldn't stop crying, and my father also left."

"Best actor Hong Yi has great lines in movies and TV dramas. I didn't expect him to be as talkative as me when facing my father."

"I want to cry and laugh at the same time. Pei Jie's skills were created by his father."

"All fathers in the world are equally great, and father's love is as deep as a mountain!"

“This show is kind of a dud.”

…

Celebrities, as sharers, are given special significance, because although they cannot be said to be the best in this field, they are the ones who best represent the people who belong to their circle.

These stories may not be so tragic and unforgettable, but in short interviews, Chu Pianpian will communicate with them on many levels from shallow to deep, allowing the audience to taste the content of the stories through their lives, and thus taste the The ups and downs of different life journeys.

GG is back and the excitement continues.

Interactive session.

Four selected viewers shared their stories with the stars through letters and phone calls.

——When I was studying, in order for me to go to a better school and have better conditions, my father worked harder. Whenever I asked for money, there was only one word "good" in my father's mouth, and never. Complain or dislike...

——My hobbies when I was a child were the same as those of other children. I liked to play happily and did not like opera. However, due to family tradition, I was forced by my father to sing opera since I was a child. Of course, I was very resistant as a child, but under my father’s guidance Under strict requirements, you can never escape...

——My father, his feelings are like the gentle autumn rain and the soft spring breeze. There are no big ups and downs, just indifferent and silent, but I am very grateful to him...

——My father is not willing to express his love for me in front of me. It may be that he is not very good at expressing his love for me in front of me. Compared with my mother’s passionate and unrestrained love, it seems so deep and traceless. …

The voices and words with stories, warmth, and feelings touched the sensitive nerves of the audience. Some eyes were slightly moist, and some noses were slightly sour.

"You can't see the drizzle and wet clothes, and you can hear the flowers falling to the ground silently." Every experience, every story, and every kind of companionship demonstrates the glory of my father, which is heart-wrenching!

While the audience was wiping away tears, reminiscing, or meditating, the stage background changed. At a glance, bicycles, sewing machines, record players, radios, and black-and-white TVs made it seem like they were transported back to the 1980s.

I saw Mei Manlu holding an acoustic guitar and sitting on a high stool in the middle of the stage, wearing a light long skirt and a warm smile on her face.

For a moment, the barrage dropped sharply.

The audience in front of the screen unconsciously calmed down and waited for the ending song!

in the end……

What kind of song would Django write to wrap up the theme of fatherhood.

Mei Manlu plucked the strings of the guitar, and the notes poured out from the gaps, playing a curved musical score.

"In 1984, the crops were not harvested yet.

My daughter sleeps so sweetly in my arms

I don’t have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight

My wife reminded me to repair the pedal of my sewing machine..."

"Prose Poems Written by My Father" is a song that praises the deep father's love. The poet Dong Yufang excerpted excerpts from his father's diary and filled in the lyrics. Xu Fei arranged and sang it.

The unpretentious words touch people's hearts, but they are a big challenge for the composer. Xu Fei is most concerned about what kind of rhythm to use to make the love in the words more full and sincere. In the end, Xu Fei uses what she is best at The guitar creates a unique "sense of passage" style.

At this moment, the scenes from the song "Father's Diary" appeared on the stage, as if looking at photos that have turned yellow with the passage of time.

"I'm going to my neighbor's house tomorrow to borrow some more money.

The child has been crying all day and clamoring for cookies.

The blue polyester top hurts my heart

I squatted by the pond and punched myself twice..."

Only the accompaniment of guitar and piano creates a quiet narrative environment.

Mei Manlu's clear and clean voice narrates the most authentic life scenes of her father's generation.

There are no gorgeous words, every line of lyrics reveals the unsmiling father, expressing his heavy responsibility and love for the family in his own unique way.

"The crops of 1994 have been harvested long ago

My old mother passed away last year

My daughter ran into the campus with a ponytail

But she has been a little lonely recently and lost a lot of weight..."

The lyrics are not about his father, but he is very much like his father.

The father in memory,

Or when I was a child, I rode a heavy old-fashioned bicycle to carry myself to the town fair;

Or when you grow up, you walk for hours alone on a snowy day to pick yourself up from school;

Or as an adult, you keep loading eggs, rice, and vegetables into the trunk of your car before leaving home;

Through the singing, the audience was reminded of their father who was always busy.

"Think about the future when I grow old and become a pile of old paper money

My daughter will definitely be stunningly beautiful at that time

There is a man who loves her and wants to marry her home

But thinking about this, I can’t bear to look at her..."

Django used a rich instrumental configuration in the original arrangement, adding piano, string instruments, wind instruments, and vocal harmonies to enhance the emotional atmosphere of the song.

Some Mei Manlu elements were incorporated into the singing style, making the song more three-dimensional, full, vivid and touching in expression. At the same time, it perfectly interprets the helplessness of the children when they realize that their father is getting older as the years go by.

The addition of wind instruments creates a time travel effect, as if you are instantly transported from the 1980s and 1990s to 2025, and the image of the dying old father seems to appear in front of you across the screen.

"These are the words in my father's diary

This is his life left

Prose poems left behind

Decades later, I shed tears watching

But my father is as old as an old newspaper..."

These lyrics trigger a strong sense of imagery, and the high-pitched sound is sharp and urging, implying that you don’t have much time left.

And these stories and tragic songs about the father in the years made the emotions burst out from everyone's heart in waves. It must be said that it touched the softest place deep in the heart, and the audience in front of the screen was all moved by it. , eyes dim with tears.

On the stage, Mei Manlu was bathed in a soft yellow light, which highlighted her charming face. She was as gentle and elegant as a big sister next door.

"This is the footprint left by that generation

After a few storms, the traces will be erased

This land also made me shed tears

It has buried so many sad past events

Oh oh~~~

Woo~~~~~~”

The last lyrics were added by Li Jian in the "I Am a Singer" program, which raised the whole song to the height of an era, making the song start delicately and aesthetically and end with grandeur and grandeur.

Mei Manlu is not good at singing with high-pitched skills, but she can inject ordinary and plain emotions into her singing, making this rich song more vivid and powerful, directly pointing to the heart.

The lyrics are the most beautiful words. It is not so much a song sung to my father as it is a prose poem written to my father. It is pure and sincere, and a tear slowly rolled down her face as the singer.
