Chapter 102 Nightshade and Scarborough Bazaar
Chen Manli was jealous and asked, "Brother Feng, who is she?" Know her? ”
Yue Feng was still immersed in history and said, "She's not famous now. It's just that soon she will become famous, and next year, she will be excavated......"
He realized something and gently pushed Li Xianglan away.
Chen Manli was stunned: "You know what will happen next year?" ”
Yue Feng smiled: "What I want to do, I naturally know it." ”
Li Xianglan knows very well that the famous song "Night Fragrance" of the Republic of China is almost unknown to future generations.
Her original name was Shuko Yamaguchi, and her family called her Doudou, and she was born in North Yantai. In the "Pingdingshan Massacre", his father was detained on suspicion of colluding with Chinese anti-Japanese elements, and the family was relocated again. In 1933, he recognized General Li Jichun as his adoptive father and changed his name to Li Xianglan.
The next year, that is, in 1938, her artistic talent and special background were soon noticed by the "Manchurian Film Association", and she was mobilized to join the association, and she was vigorously packaged, launched as a singer, and sang songs such as "The Fisherman's Girl" and "Zhaojun's Resentment".
In 44 years, he became famous with the song "Night Fragrance".
After that, Li Xianglan successively acted in some movies that propagandized the Japanese army or whitewashed Japan's war of aggression, and became a "sugar-coated cannonball" in the Kwantung Army's war policy.
None of this has happened, though.
Yue Feng immediately decided to train Li Xianglan and make her the backbone of the "Yamato Anti-War League", destroying the confidence of the Japanese army, accelerating the defeat of the Japanese army, and saving more Chinese people.
17-year-old Li Xianglan blinked her beautiful eyes and glared at Yue Feng curiously, wondering why this handsome man with a strong and artistic sense knew her so well.
Yue Feng scratched her nose and said with a smile: "I have a song that is especially suitable for you, do you want to learn to sing?" And then, to perform the day after tomorrow? ”
Li Xianglan excitedly held Yue Feng's arm and said loudly, "I think, I think!" ”
Yue Feng adjusted his breath, played the guitar, and sang "Night Fragrance".
"The south wind blows coolly, the nightingale sings, the flowers under the moon fall asleep, only the night is fragrant, and the fragrance is ......"
When Li Xianglan heard this, she instantly calmed down, her whole body trembled, and her soul screamed: This is my song, this is my song!
Brother Yue must be my bosom friend, he knows everything about me, and he writes songs for me.
He, he must like me, not me!
The people around them also quieted down, deeply shocked and deeply intoxicated!
"I love the night, I love the nightingale singing, and I love the flower-like dream! Embracing the nightshade, kissing the nightshade! Nightshade, I'll sing for you! Nightshade, I'll think about you! Yes...... Nightshade ...... Nightshade ...... Nightshade ......"
After the song ended, Li Xianglan screamed, threw herself into Yue Feng's arms, hugged him tightly, and couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God, my God, this is my song, my song!" Brother Yue, you are my bosom friend, you know everything about me, you must have written it specifically for me. You must like me, you must love me! ”
Chen Manli's face changed, and she shouted: "Nonsense, Brother Feng is seeing you for the first time." ”
Li Xianglan shouted happily: "Impossible, he knows that my name is 'Doudou', he knows that my name is Yamaguchi Shuzi, he knows everything about me." He must have been secretly following me for many years and was super obsessed with me. That's why I made this strange song for me. Evening primrose, night primrose, I love night primrose! ”
Chen Manli stared at Yue Feng tightly: "Is that so?" ”
How can this be explained, it doesn't make sense at all!
So, he said: "Xianglan, stay aside, practice "Night Primrose" well, if you don't practice well, I won't sign a contract with you." ”
Li Xianglan said confidently: "Impossible, this is my song." ”
With that, she jumped out to practice singing.
Yue Feng said to the others: "Each of you has the opportunity to sing half a song, and you will be separated from each other. I am in charge of one place, and Manager Chen is in charge of one. The man stayed, and the woman followed Manager Chen to the second floor. ”
The crowd quickly parted, with the women going upstairs and the men staying.
Suddenly, Yue Feng found that there was a beautiful blonde girl left behind and standing in the middle of the men's team.
He said curiously, "Miss, you should go up to the second floor." ”
The blonde woman said firmly, "I want to sing to you." ”
Yue Feng asked with a smile: "Report your name and nationality." ”
The blonde girl said, "My name is Annabel and I'm from the United States. ”
Yue Feng smiled faintly: "Good name." ”
Annabel didn't believe it: "Do you know what the name means?" ”
Yue Feng shrugged: "Annabel, it means a beautiful woman, or a lovely and amiable woman. ”
In later life, when he went to the United States on a mission, he had an in-depth relationship with a beautiful girl named Annabel.
Annabel was surprised: "I'm amazed at how amazing you are. ”
Yue Feng said: "Sing a paragraph and let me listen to it." ”
Annabel concentrated and sang.
Yue Feng listened attentively and felt that her voice was very similar to Sarah Brightman in later generations.
Sarah Brightman became famous with her cover of Scarborough Bazaar.
This song is the most successful folk song in the 60s of the United States, it is a classic English song with a beautiful melody, and has been used as an interlude of the 40th Academy Award-winning film "The Graduate", the melody is poignant and tactful, giving people a deep touch in the soul.
It must be plagiarized, justifiably and without guilt.
Yue Feng looked at Annabel seriously and said, "I have a song, it's just tailor-made for you. ”
Annabel was pleasantly surprised: "Really, that's great. ”
Yue Feng said, "There is a question, please answer it." If you are famous in the world, you will gain fame and fortune and get tens of millions of dollars. What would you do? ”
Annabel looked pleasantly surprised, and thought seriously: "One-third is retained, one-third allows parents to live a happy old age, and one-third funds China's anti-Japanese war." Because I hate devils, kill people everywhere, and completely ignore human rights! In the United States, human rights come first. ”
Yue Feng was very satisfied: "Very good, I hope you will do what you say." As you can remember, this song is called "Scarborough Market", and I was inspired by it when I was traveling to the British Isles. Annabel, so to speak, you are very lucky. ”
Annabel said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue, for giving me the opportunity." ”
Yue Feng took the guitar, brewed his feelings, and played the prelude.
Suddenly, goosebumps rose for everyone, and they had a premonition that they were going to hear a classic song.
Yue Feng sings in English, and only in English can this song be expressed in its original flavor.
The lyrics mean: Are you going to Scarborough Bazaar? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme! Please say hello on my behalf to the guy who lives there and who used to be my true love. Tell him to let me make a linen shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme! Don't use a needle and thread, and you can't find a seam, and then, he will become my true love......
Everyone listened quietly, completely immersed, and their hearts were deeply shaken.
Annabel burst into tears, having traveled thousands of miles to China because her crush had died in a car accident. When I went to China, I was to treat emotional wounds.
This song is completely in line with her state of mind and more suitable for her voice quality.
She trembled and said, "A gift from God, this is a gift from God!" Mr. Yue, you are sent by God to help me, you are my angel! ”
