2013, the New Oriental teaching case film " Chinese Partner " directed by Chen Kexin was released. This gay friend version of "To Youth" tells the story of aspiring young people who "have always wanted to change the world, but in the end they discovered that it is the world that changed us", echoing the theme song of the film "The Story of Time".
"The Story of Time" sung by three stars: Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and Deng Chao, , Deng Chao, , describes it in one word: light. The arrangement is smooth and the singing is light, the gentleness is like the time that slowly slips away.
Although none of the three of them were singers and were somewhat imperfect, they were touched from the bottom of their hearts. Maybe the struggle of the three people in the movie touched the softness in their hearts, maybe the natural singing makes people remember the story of youth, maybe...
The movie "Chinese Partners" has the throbbing of youth hormones, the 1980s and 1990s, and there are three people ( Meng Xiaojun , Cheng Dongqing , Wang Yang) from the time story of the dream shattered to the dream come true. What's more, the three staggering men are based on the New Oriental boss (Yu Minhong, Wang Qiang, and Xu Xiaoping)?
So this song is not just a melody, but also the youth that has passed away in those years. The beating of every note is the ups and downs of youth, and every humming is re-walking youth.
traces back to past and present lives. This song is the youth of Luo Dayou , and is closely related to Golden Horse Film Queen Zhang Aijia . Luo Dayou, who graduated from medical school in 1981, made his debut in the music industry and created the album "Childhood" for Sylvia Chang as a music producer, which was included in it. It was precisely because of the passionate love between the two at that time that Luo Dayou was willing to give Zhang Aijia the works that took five years.
"Although Zhang Aijia's voice is not very professional, it has a sense of stability, a neurotic gentle emotion." Lee Zongsheng said this. Listening to her "Story of Time", she sang it slowly from her mouth. Although it was a little immature, her heart was instantly captured. She felt that the world of youth was gentle and beautiful, which was desirable.
Luo Dayou's performance in 1982 is different from that of Chang Aijia. He sang "The Story of Time" with a slightly hoarse voice more powerfully. The story of youth is no longer so simple and beautiful, revealing a little sadness. This may be related to his childhood that he did not want to look back on and his youth that was not appreciated!
Luo Dayou's first album "Zhihuzheye" includes "The Story of Time". The classic works such as "Childhood", " Love Song 1980" and " Lugang Town " in the album are sung throughout the Chinese-speaking world. It is also because of this album that Luo Dayou became famous and gradually grew into the "Godfather of Chinese Music".
This song has a strong style from the 1980s, but there is also a rock style mixed in it. The arrangement method that combines the West and the Orient, traditional and modern, serious and popular is very modern and diverse, and it even opened another door to music and opened the "Pandora" box of rock.
In addition to revolutionary arrangements, the lyrics of "The Story of Time" are also closer to real life. The trivialities in the lyrics, "faded Christmas card", "yellow photos", and "risking far away", seem to be broken, but they are trying their best to recall the things of youth, connect the stories of youth, and focus on mourning the past. The youth of "waiting", "sweeping" and "memories" are all vivid in my mind, just like the lights about youth.
Many people have covered "The Story of Time" over the years, but they are all superficial. Not only does they have no touch at all, but they make people feel artificial. Because people without youth stories cannot sing "The Story of Time" well. This song does not require much superb skills or a gorgeous stage. It only requires abundant emotions. This is exactly what many singers lack, but it is very simple for Luo Dayou.
When the vertical line band [Luo Dayou, Lee Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian , Zhang Zhenyue] emerged in 2008, the melody of "The Story of Time" was played many times in the tour concert. At that time, thousands of people sang together, and many people burst into tears. Listening to Luo Dayou sing this song again, there was a little bit of reluctance and sweetness while being sad. Maybe whenever he sang this song, he would think of Chang Aijia's smiling face, and maybe he would regret the hasty decision to break up back then... But who really understands it?
Many years later, Zhang Aijia said regretfully in an interview, "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I felt that the only one who could match my own man seemed to be the famous Luo Dayou. It's just that the fate of the two people has not come to me."
This song written by Luo Dayou in his youth is more like an elegy to the times written in advance, just to mourn his youth struggle story and that regretful and beautiful love.
But for those who have experienced the 1980s and 1990s, this is not only Luo Dayou's youth, but also the youth of a generation. Chai Jing once wrote in "Seeing" that Luo Dayou went to CCTV to attend the annual meeting. Luo Dayou performed the finale and picked up the guitar and asked what to listen to. They collectively said: the story of time, and then the serious news directors sat on the ground and everyone sang together.
They sing youth, tears, and life... It can be said that "The Story of Time" is a memory of an era, just as Zhang Ailing said, "We have also had beautiful memories, but it made the tears blurred."
Whenever we hum this song, there are always some people crying, and there are always people feeling confused and shouting that they don't understand. But at a certain time point and after having life experience, you will suddenly realize and burst into tears. This song will never be outdated because the story of youth will not be outdated. Although youth cannot last forever, I always believe that the true love will last forever after the passage of time and will not regret youth.
This song not only hides the love between music godfather Luo Dayou and Golden Horse Film Queen Sylvia Chang, but also carries the rebellion, madness, love, obsession of a generation of youth... a melody of youth, listen, chew, and aftertaste. The older you get, the more charming, the more delicious it becomes! This is the definition of the classic, and "The Story of Time" is the best interpretation of the classic.
Repeated listening, repeated memories, different stories, the same touch. Although "there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people", there is only one "The Story of Time" that belongs to you.
