26th Anniversary: Teresa Teng's "He Rijun Returns" historical materials to share

2021 Commemoration: "27 Songs of Pingmai Jun" 05 Teresa Teng Lijun "He Rijun Again" Discussion

Hello friends, in this issue, we will focus on the fifth song of the song collection commemorating the 26th anniversary of Teresa Teng, "When the Sun Jun Returns". Three points:

First, the fate of the song

Studies have shown that the song first appeared in the 1937 film "Three Stars with the Moon" directed by Fang Peilin, which tells the love story of national industrialist Jiang Zongliang and unemployed female singer Wang Xiuwen. The film interlude was sung by the famous singer Zhou Xuan of the Republic of China, that is, the original singer first sang Zhou Xuan; the single Vinyl Record was first released in January 1939, and the cover was sung by japanese singer Li Xianglan. The song was written by Huang Jiamo, screenwriter of "Three Stars with the Moon", and liu Xue'an, the song was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek in 1942 for the chaotic change of lyrics, in 1957 it was called "rightist" by the composer Liu Xue'an, in 1970 it was classified as a vulgar song by the Kuomintang government in Taiwan, and in 1982 it was banned many times in the mainland as a yellow song. "When the Sun Comes Again" is really an ill-fated song.

Second, the song's songwriting characteristics

1. About the song

In view of the identity of the original script Wang Xiuwen as a dance star rather than a singer, the song designed by the composer Liu Xue'an for the script was Tang Ge Dance, which appeared in the Russian classmates dancing hand in hand, and it was the director Fang Peilin who changed the singing beat with Liu Xue'an on his back, so Liu Xue'an and Fang Peilin parted ways. In fact, it was this betrayal of Liu Xue'an that made this world famous song. Therefore, in 1957, Liu Xue'an was criticized as unjust.

The melodic basis of the original song "He Rijun Again" is beautiful and elegant, and the instrumentation reflects the combination of traditional Chinese instrumentation and Western orchestration, and incorporates new harmonic elements, which is a work that successfully integrates Chinese and Western musical styles and writing techniques. For Teresa Teresa's first cover in 1967, we can roughly aesthetically benefit from this performance. After the ban was lifted, under the vigorous promotion of Teresa Teresa, the orchestration of "He Rijun Again" made the style sometimes magnificent and sometimes melodious and graceful, and this style that needed rich voice support could only be controlled by Teresa Teng, which is also the reason why Teresa Teng's cover singing is better than the original song. After 1983, Teresa Teresa has been apprenticed in Japan, and after co-creation with Japanese musicians, it was included in the 1984 bilingual album "Repayment" of "He Rijun Returns", the instrumentation is more abundant, and the sound gives people a magnificent enjoyment of sometimes clear and intuitive and sometimes cuckoo crying. We should pay attention to these sublimation changes when we enjoy the third and fourth editions. This version of the arrangement is more clear and intuitive, like a cuckoo crying, combined with Teresa Teresa's unique voice, which is even more impressive.

2. About the lyrics

In general, lyrics are always later than composition, especially a directional customized film and television song, but the lyrics of "He Rijun Come Again" are written after the director Fang Peilin changed the song style, so it is called filler words.

Judging from the existing historical data, "He Rijun's Return" was banned by Chiang Kai-shek's order, mainly because the lyrics "After parting this evening, He Rijun will come again" were politicized by the "chairman of the committee", because this lyric appeared when the female singer Wang Xiuwen saw the distant back of the "mysterious youth" in Yan'an. In fact, the lyrics are expressing the love pain of the female singer. This can also be felt from Li Lanxiang's singing in the Japanese military camp. Only the theme of love is the common feeling of people. It is worth mentioning that li lanxiang labor army performance is not enough, the Chinese and Japanese version of "He Rijun again" was banned by the Japanese procuratorial organs, on the grounds that the lingering sound of silence will make the Japanese military discipline lax.
