Zuiying specially remembered Hong Kong composer Leung Shau Kee, the one who sang the new version of "Pray for God" in pure Cantonese.
Zhou Xingchi's classic comedy film "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is popular all over the country and has been enduring for a long time. Every detail of it is a classic with exquisite production! Among them, the song "Pray for God" has also been popular with the movie and has become a popular Cantonese pop song. But the past and present life of this song is rarely talked about.
In fact, "Pray for God" is a piece of Cantonese opera "Three Smiles Marriage". It was sung by Cantonese opera famous Xiaosheng Ren Jianhui. Everyone knows that drama singing is relatively slow, but it is very interesting to read the lyrics carefully. For the era when there was no media such as television networks. After adapting the style and rewriting the lyrics, what we heard in the movie "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang" is the fast-paced version of the popular singing method. The lyrics have also been rewritten to be funny and cynical, but still retains strong traditional elements, such as the accompaniment or The national musical instruments used are drums, gongs, wooden fish, guzheng, etc. These musical instruments are common in Cantonese opera performance, so first of all people feel that the style of music still has a dramatic flavor. If you listen to the pure music version of the film soundtrack, You can also hear the lead of the erhu and the joyous effect of the ensemble of various ethnic musical instruments, but the popularity has been greatly improved. Anyone who has watched the movie "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang" can even hum this prelude or main melody at will. Here we have to admire Mr. Hu Weili's musical skills! The singing method is still a stage-style duet, and the words used in the lyrics are not traditional classical forms or classical Chinese. Words have their own unique meanings, and those that can be understood will be more fun. The lyricist is Hong Kong sage Lin Xi, so there is no need to say more here.
Here I would like to specially record Liang Zhaoji and Lin Fan who sang this song, but the information that can be searched on the Internet is too little and too little. Through the query, it can be seen that Mr. Liang Zhaoji was also a composer and adapted a Cantonese song " Happy Birthday Song" (sung by Zheng Shaoqiu), in addition to several popular songs, such as Chen Baiqiang's. In terms of auditory experience, Liang Zhaoji's voice is a bit like the voice of a grouper dubbing Stephen Chow, and the funny tone makes it easy to think of Stephen Chow's exaggerated performances. I don't know if it's the director's request or what. In fact, we can still hear that he still uses Cantonese opera pronunciation and singing style when he sings. This can be heard by listening to Zheng Shaoqiu and Luo Wen's singing carefully.
Pay attention to the subtitles after the movie, the sorting of the staff, and the introduction of the music production staff are always put at the end, I don't know if it is a routine or what, but it can reflect the compliment of the film and television industry to the glory in front of the stage, and the behind-the-scenes production. People do not pay attention (think about the situation in those years when many songs were popular, such as Lun Yongliang, Cai Guoquan, etc.). In today's developed Internet age, it is not difficult to become famous, but the stories behind many classics have been buried in time. Except for the physical materials saved in the decayed bookcase, no one knows that they were created for the sake of writing. inspiration.
