Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

"Little River Flows 1952", yes, that's the version that Pharaoh and teacher Gong Linna performed in 22.

When Xu Damao saw it, he was immediately amazed. How could rap and folk songs be so integrated?! And even CCTV strongly recommended this work!

Later I learned the origin of this song.

The creator or arranger of the song "Little River Flows" itself is controversial, but let's not discuss that for now.

But what is certain is that this is a work adapted from the Yunnan Midu folk songs "Sheep Herding Tune" and "The Moon Comes Out Bright and Brilliant". There is also a saying that it was adapted from "Planting Rice in the Field". In 47, this song already existed, called "The Flowing Water in the Small River".

In 89, singer Huang Hong won the first Golden Record Award for her solo performance of this song.

As for who came up with the name "Oriental Serenade", it is unknown.

But it is said that this is the only Chinese folk song that has been included in the music textbooks of higher education in the United States. It has been adapted into popular singing, bel canto singing, chorus and violin concerto by music professionals at home and abroad.

Many singers have sung this song, but for Xu Damao, the most shocking one is the version sung by Pharaoh and Teacher Gong Linna in 22 years.

As for 1952, Xu Damao understood it as the most famous Battle of Shangganling in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid C. Its brutality and density of artillery firepower had exceeded the highest level of World War II, with an average of 6 rounds per second, and 76 shells exploding per square meter of land!

After the battle, Da Piaoliang never launched an attack on the Volunteer Army at the battalion level or above, and the war situation on the peninsula has since stabilized on the 38th parallel north.

Later, some people said that Da Piaoliang really got to know the Chinese people from the Battle of Shangganling.

The young people off the stage may not know it so clearly, but those leaders who have changed jobs cannot be unaware of it! Most of them have experienced it firsthand!

Therefore, the rap content of "Little River Flows" + 1952, folk songs + third-person narrative of war, in this era, in front of these veterans who have fought in the battlefield, is the ultimate bomb - no doubt about it.

Xu Damao has maxed out all of them, including sense of art, narrative, technology, and light and shadow!

What is dimensionality reduction attack?

This is a dimensionality reduction attack!

1. Everyone calmly went on stage. Li Huaide led 20 people to quickly clean up the battlefield, sweeping and wiping away all the previous snowflakes. He was very quick and professional. When he left the stage, he adjusted the knob on the speaker according to Xu Damao's instructions.

2. The props team went on stage, and a high platform was quickly built at the back. Liu Lan stood on it in a red dress. Her makeup surprised everyone - when did the steel mill have such a beautiful female worker? Even Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu in the audience couldn't help swallowing their saliva, especially Sha Zhu - [How come she is prettier than Sister Qin? I didn't notice it when she was working normally? Is this still Liu Lan? ! ]

[Xu Damao, that bastard, got such a good deal! ]

3. In the middle of the stage, Xu Damao was wearing ordinary work clothes, which were a bit old and dark. Because of his height, he looked a bit slim. The props team placed a circle of metal boxes around him. Inside each metal box stood an object of unknown shape made of steel pipes and steel bars, which seemed to be coated with a layer of paint. Some people thought that those metal shapes looked like sorghum, some thought they looked like gun barrels, and some thought they looked like fence wire... Everyone had different opinions, but they didn't understand why they put these things on the stage?

Sha Zhu and others in the audience curled their lips——[This Xu Damao is still pretending to be a decent person, does he know what singing is? ]

But after all, Xu Damao was here to perform on behalf of the steel mill, and no matter how stupid Sha Zhu was, he would not stir up trouble at this time, as that would embarrass the leaders of the steel mill;

4. Foam boxes were placed at the four corners of the stage. When the props team left the stage, they opened the lids and white mist began to spread out. Was that dry ice?

5. The lighting and projection on the ceiling have not changed yet. I guess they will change when the concert starts.

6. At this time, Section Chief Huang had already walked behind the curtain with the microphone and was making preparations.

Everything was ready. Xu Damao took the microphone and nodded to Liu Lan on the podium behind him. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and focused on him and Liu Lan. Then everyone felt some inexplicable noise coming from all around, and suddenly, modern drum beats appeared.

Section Chief Huang opened the show with his B-BOX, and the resonant vibration of the heavy bass made everyone's hearts jump, but they couldn't see who was playing what instrument, so everyone felt confused - this was much more shocking than the heavy bass effect of Li Huaide's recitation!

This is one of the three most basic drum rhythms that Xu Damao taught Section Chief Huang. Xu Damao couldn't really master any more, and Section Chief Huang couldn't master them all with his mouth.

But it feels just right for this song.

And Xu Damao also raised his microphone at the right time and started his performance.

"In the autumn of 1951,

It is still not time to start the journey home;

When I return victorious in the future, I hope my sister can continue to teach me art;

The troops are now marching northwards, and we have no military clothing;

The wild geese in the sky seemed to be afraid of the ghost army and kept flying southward;

The scout said - there are guns and tanks behind the snowy mountains;"

Just when everyone was wondering why Xu Damao was reciting so fast when he was clearly singing, Liu Lan suddenly started her chant at the back.

“I have had no fewer than a thousand times of anxiety in my heart;

...I will use my life and blood to protect your singing voice."

The projection at the back turned into a black and white sorghum field, which kept shaking. I had no idea what means and techniques the projection team used. Each scene looked like a PPT. Although simple, it had some dynamic effects, either left or right, or front and back.

At this moment, Liu Lan's ethereal singing of "Ah" had ended, and the sweet and distant singing sounded, which immediately gave everyone goose bumps!

"The moon is out, bright and shining--

what--

The moon is out, bright and shining."

Everyone was petrified on the spot, not daring to make a sound, just listening to Liu Lan's singing and Xu Damao's rapid recitation.

"…So I'm afraid that the incendiary bombs dropped on North Korea will tear apart the clouds in my hometown tomorrow…"

"...There has never been a savior, and we don't rely on gods or emperors..."

"...Yes, the light of the red star will surely illuminate the entire valley..." A five-pointed star appeared in the projection behind. Although it was a little blurry, it was getting bigger and bigger from far to near, and the light turned red at this time.

"... I have no regrets in having you in my life. I wish the world peace and no more tears. Long live the new China."

When he sang to this point, Xu Damao turned around, the light on him dimmed, and all the lights in the venue were focused on Liu Lan.

Just when everyone thought that this was the climax of the entire performance, Liu Lan's singing sounded again.

"The moon is out, bright and shining--

what--

I am like the moon, walking in the sky, walking in the sky——

Brother, brother, brother, ah——"

At this time, Li Huaide's 20 chorus background musicians on both sides of the backstage also began to shout in unison - "Long live the new China!"

A few clear large characters suddenly appeared on the projection: "Long Live New China!"

The metal components around Xu Damao suddenly began to burn, much like the burning pattern of fairy fireworks, and the sparks slowly spread.

Xiaoxia and Li Huaide in the backstage were dumbfounded!

All the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy in the front row stood up and shouted with tears streaming down their faces:

"Long live New China!"

At this point, it has become an art!
