Han Zhou never expected that the winner was not a movie but a song.
"oops."
The staff member was puzzled: "Mr. Han, is it... that we can't perform? Wasn't it finally confirmed last night that there is no problem?"
Han Zhou: "It's okay, it's okay. You can perform."
After the staff confirmed it and left, Han Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "What a loss!"
Wang Xiya was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Han Zhou was annoyed: "How could I have known that American teenagers would actually like songs with the tune of The Last of the Mohicans? I prepared a folk song."
"If I had known they liked this, I would have performed 'Eagle Song' or simply brought out 'Beyond the Tears'."
Wang Xiya was even more confused: "What is Eagle Song? What is Beyond Tear Traces? Is it a new song?"
Han Zhou: "Ah... well, it's newly written and I haven't shown it yet. I'll show it to you when we have a chance to truly enter North America."
When Han Zhou was preparing, he wanted to choose a song to sing at the American College Choice Awards ceremony.
A lot of things automatically come to mind.
There are two lists, one of which is the most popular songs among teenagers over the years.
One is the most popular song among North American college students over the past century.
Surprisingly, there are actually only five songs that are the most popular hits among North American college students over the past century.
Each song spans two eras and is basically invincible in the past twenty years.
Han Zhou finally struggled with two songs, "Five Hundred Miles" and "Scarborough Fair".
"Five Hundred Miles" is a song about being away from home, having nothing, and starting to struggle.
It will definitely be welcomed by all college students, because the vast majority of college students in North America do not go to college locally, so this song will be a sure kill for college students and the working class.
It is also a deadly attack on immigrants.
However, Han Zhou finally chose "Scarborough Fair".
To be precise, Han Zhou chose "Castro Market".
This is actually the same song, just with a different translated name.
But! These are actually two songs.
The original version was called "Scarborough Fair" and was a song sung by a male voice, a heavenly sound.
This song satirizes and even denounces the Anglo-Saxon war behavior. It was written by re-arranging the lyrics of a folk song that has been popular in Britain for hundreds of years.
When this song came out, the United States was attacking the Banana Country.
Anti-war sentiment was high, and the song was unrivaled for the entire twenty years.
If, if the lyrics of this song had not been changed, if it had not been plotted against, if it had not been stolen, it would not have been popular for twenty years, but for fifty years, or even a hundred years.
If the lyrics hadn't been changed, there would have been no need to select it for this list later, because no song could replace it!
However, while some people denounce it, others cover it up.
Decades later, another British female singer sang the song again, deleting the lyrics that satirized Anglo-Saxon warmongers.
From then on, the original version that once dominated an era and conquered thousands of fans disappeared.
This version by a female singer turned the song from one denouncing war into a silly love song.
The song sounds good because the lyrics were changed twice, but the lyrics sound crazy and totally illogical.
Han Zhou is just suspected of being mentally ill, not neurotic, so of course he won't sing the new version.
On the Chinese Internet, if you search for "Scarborough Fair", you will not find the original Simon version of the song, only the new version sung by the British female singer.
On the Chinese Internet, you need to search for "Castro Fair" to find the original version. ("Scarborough Fair" Simon & Garfunkel)
Even the lyrics in the encyclopedia have been changed.
The version Han Zhou was going to sing was the one at "Castro Market".
While Han Zhou was thinking, the host and guests on the stage suddenly called out his name.
"Most Popular Summer Song Award, Nominee, Han Zhou, Huaguo, "Summer Soseki"."
They translated the title of the song into "Summer Soothing Rock".
Han Zhou didn't expect that there would be such a thing, and that another song would be shortlisted.
In fact, after Han Zhou’s “The Last of the Mohicans” became a hit across America, many people went looking for Han Zhou’s songs to listen to.
But, they don’t understand Chinese songs.
Only "Ordinary Road" is the most popular.
However, Han Zhou also has an English song, which is "Summer Soseki", so this song was crazily sought after by a large number of fans and was directly brought to the awards ceremony.
The Most Popular Summer Song Award should actually be translated as the Summer Song Award.
For college students and teenagers, this award should be given to the song that is most suitable for listening during free time or holidays.
Perfect for listening at the pool, beach or party.
So, even though "Natsumi Soseki" contains the word "summer" in its title, it was a stretch for it to win the award.
This song is hard to get excited about at a party.
The final winner was the North Star band from the UK.
Han Zhou saw someone he knew, the woman from the gym.
Her name is Amini.
The award ceremony was still going on. The host said: "The next award is also a widely watched award. The number of votes is in the top five among all the awards."
" Most Popular Instrumental Music Award."
“Four pieces of music were selected.”
"Kafu, the theme song of the game "War Paradise" version 7.4, "Crazy War"!"
"Binske, the theme song of the movie "Voice of the Pastoral Country" "Cowbell"!"
"Wolferster, West White Fang, piano piece 'The Waves'!"
"Han Zhou, Huaguo, The Last of the Mohicans!"
The award presenter was an American movie star, to be more precise, Oscar winner Thomas, who is in his fifties.
Thomas glanced at the cue card and smiled, "Congratulations! Han Zhou, The Last of the Mohicans!"
Host: "Please come in, Mr. Han!"
Han Zhou stood up, Wang Xiya stretched out her hand, and Han Zhou bent down and hugged Wang Xiya.
Then he stood up and walked towards the stage.
Han Zhou, wearing flip-flops, stepped onto the stage, immediately sparking enthusiastic whistles and screams from the audience.
You should know that there are judges from 25 universities sitting in the back row.
Among the 25 best universities in the United States, a very high proportion of students like "The Last of the Mohicans".
They voted this song to number one and put this usually unnoticed category into the top five.
If "The Last of the Mohicans" was nominated for the Most Popular Song Award (Male Singer), it would probably have won first place.
Moreover, the proportion of Chinese students in the top 25 universities in the United States is extremely high.
In California, where Los Angeles is located, all the top universities are like returning home once you enter them, with Chinese students and local Chinese everywhere.
Han Zhou's award was also a huge encouragement to this group, so the Chinese student representatives at the scene screamed particularly loudly.
Han Zhou smiled and waved. Thomas handed over a huge surfboard and said, "Congratulations. I like this song too. I have listened to it at least thirty times."
Han Zhou smiled: "Thank you."
Now, it’s time to give your acceptance speech.
Han Zhou put the surfboard on the ground, held it, and leaned close to the microphone: "To win this award... I really deserve it."
Many people at the scene were stunned. Although in North America, people prefer to express themselves directly, celebrities have become more and more polite in recent years. Everyone’s impression of Chinese people is that they are humble. Isn’t this person a little different?
Han Zhou continued: "Since everyone likes it so much, it's impossible not to win the award."
"Thank you to all college students across the country for their support, and thank you to all young people across the country for their votes."
“I will bring you more good music in the future.”
“Thanks also to my music production team, the New World Entertainment music production team.”
"grateful."
The host smiled and said, "Han, it's time for the performance. Can we enjoy your wonderful music live?"
Han Zhou smiled: "This...will cost extra."
There was an awkward moment at the scene, but soon everyone realized that this was a joke and burst into laughter.
Han Zhou: "Oh, by the way, I forgot that I've paid. So let's just start the performance?"
Of course, the people at the scene knew that it was impossible to pay, and this was still a serial joke.
The host smiled and said, "Can I keep it for you?"
Han Zhou: "Let me hold the singing bar. I'm afraid you'll take my surfboard away."
"I'm going to try this surfboard out to see if it works."
This joke is more American, but not very funny. However, in such occasions, there are always people who say: "Hahahaha, ha ha ha!"
The song information appeared on the screen behind.
Castro Market
Lyrics: Han Zhou
Music: Han Zhou
Composer: Han Zhou
As the beautiful music began, many people at the scene felt much more relaxed.
It’s a very nice song, and it’s a folk song?
Many people are waiting for this man who is too mysterious to North America to speak.
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Cilantro, sage, rosemary and thyme
Say hello to a girl there for me
She was my love."
The sound of nature!
Han Zhou's voice, as a male voice, sang out a beautiful sound like heavenly music.
This is not a question of singing skills, it’s just that the voice is good and the timbre is good.
Many people at the scene were very surprised.
Isn’t this too beautiful to listen to?
But why are the lyrics so weird?
These lyrics are too weird for Europeans and Americans, but Chinese people may not easily understand why they are weird.
So please translate this verse accurately.
“Are you going to the farmers market?
Coriander, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns.
Say hello like a girl for me.
She was my love."
What is this all about???????
But such a beautiful song, such a heavenly voice, with such nonsensical lyrics? Is there a deep meaning? Or was it just written for fun?
The next paragraph begins to gradually give the answer.
"Tell her to make me a linen shirt
(Beside a hill deep in the green forest)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Chasing birds on brown snow-capped mountains)
No need for sewing or needlework
(The mountains are the carpets and sheets of the children of the mountains)
She will be my true love
(I was sound asleep and unaware of the sound of the horn calling me)"
Han Zhou only sang the first sentence, and there was a voice similar to a female voice recorded in the accompaniment track.
Listening to the whole thing in context is really creepy.
The heavenly voice sings a ghost story.
In other words, it is the deceased's lingering attachment to the widow.
Why make a linen shirt by a hill deep in the green forest?
Why don’t we use needle and thread or sew when making a linen shirt?
What kind of person uses mountains as carpets and mattresses?
Why is it the horn calling in deep sleep?
Because there is a lonely grave on the hill.
Because body bags are clothes, but they don't require seams.
Of course, those buried underground use the mountain as a mattress.
The one who was sleeping for a long time heard the call in his sleep.
Many people realized that this song is not that simple and it is not a joke.
Singing such serious lyrics with the most heavenly male voice has achieved such a pleasant and soul-purifying effect. It is too powerful and adds infinitely to the charm of the lyrics!
In the new version of "Scarborough Fair", the background sounds were completely deleted, leaving only the singer's voice.
Without the background vocals, the lyrics sound crazy.
"Ask her to find me a piece of land
(A few leaves of grass beside the hill)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Silver tears dripping down wash the grave)
Between the salt flats and the sea
(The soldier cleans his gun)
She will be my true love..."
This lonely grave is buried here all by itself, and the former lover has never visited it.
Tell her to find me a piece of land, hopefully with coriander and sage and rosemary and thyme, between the salt flats and the sea.
Why? Because this is her home.
Can you take me home? Can you not let me sleep forever in this strange place?
Have you forgotten that you are my love?
This verse is completely reversed.
Do you think this is a love song? Is it about missing your lover at the time of death?
No, this is a denunciation, a denunciation of the vows of love that were once made but were finally forgotten.
However, once the background singing in brackets is deleted, the lyrics become beautiful memories of love.
If you delete the brackets, it means being sentenced nakedly, being sentenced for music, and betraying one's integrity as a human being.
But it is true that if a lover can be forgotten and his body can be left exposed in the wilderness, why won’t the lyrics be changed? The lyrics being changed is one of the things that this song is about, isn’t it?
"Tell her to reap with a sickle
(Scarlet bullets accompanied by the rumbling of war drums)
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
Bundles of heather
(Fighting for a long forgotten cause)
She will be my true love."
People behind the war, with sickles, harvested coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme, and harvested heather in the sunny and warm places.
The people in the front of the war were harvested by the god of death. In the dark and damp places, blood flowed like a river, and they were forever left alone in an unknown corner.
Do you think this is the end?
Next time, the noble generals wearing the cross badges will use this body that will forever be forgotten in a dark and damp place as an excuse to start a war again.
Those who start wars kill people, kill their own people, and then forget them.
Who will become the new reason to be forgotten?
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme
Say hello to a girl there for me
She was my lover..."
When the song was sung to the end, the first time was repeated.
This time, the whole audience was silent.
Even quieter than Silent Hill.
In the first paragraph, everyone thought it was a beautiful love story.
Although it is sad, it may be a beautiful remembrance of love after missing it.
The last paragraph, still the same words.
But everyone knows it clearly.
What kind of bullshit is love? Do it a hundred times a day to avoid pitfalls.
After death, there was not even a shroud!
No one took him home!
No one buried him in a human settlement.
Do you really think those spices are spices? Aren’t those spices the flavor of life?
In the lonely wilderness without the smell of fireworks, how many white bones are crying?
In fact, are spices really just spices?
This is a cannibalistic world.
European and American teenagers, do you have any brains? Are you still going to fall into this trap?
Is this song about someone saying hello to her former lover?
This song is to ask people, those old friends, does your mother's neighbor have a conscience? Is your mother's neighbor a human being? Does your mother's neighbor still have justice and law? ! ! !
This is not a greeting, it is a condemnation, a rebuke, and a hatred for blatant lies!
Is this song "Castro Fair"? Or is it "Scarborough Fair"?
No, the song is called "I Got a Big Fucking Fuck!"
Students, all love to think.
Although in North America, a large number of ordinary people do things in a one-track mind and can only think about one level of things.
But college students are not like that.
At this moment, in major universities across the United States, countless people’s souls are trembling.
In major colleges and universities across the United States, summers are as cold as ice caves.
The melodious music, the heavenly singing and the cruel lyrics formed the most horrifying contrast, a horrifying hell on earth.
If "The Last of the Mohicans" is a silent cry.
This time, it was a wail of despair.
But the Mohicans don’t even have the right to wail, the Internet doesn’t allow the Mohicans to wail.
However, others still have the right to wail.
Many people who were not interested in "The Last of the Mohicans" felt like they had found a soul mentor after listening to "Castro Fair".
The world is sick, you are sick, I am sick, everyone is sick, and "Castro Fair" is proof of that.
At the scene, there was a thunderous explosion of applause and screams, which came after the silence.
Han Zhou leaned closer to the microphone and said, "A song called 'Castro Fair' is dedicated to all the teenagers and college students in the United States."
“I hope you can learn to think independently.”
“If possible, pass this song down to the next generation as a family heirloom.”
"By the way, any changes to the lyrics of this song are prohibited."
"Thanks."
Han Zhou, carrying a surfboard, wearing flip-flops and a colorful and mismatched Hawaiian sun shirt, walked off the stage and strolled down the aisle amid crazy applause and screams, standing out among the crowd.
Some people's eyes changed.
He began to look at him as if he were a god.
Han Zhou was walking and suddenly stopped: "Oh, the surfboard is so heavy."
Two singers who had never met each other stood up, one holding the tail of the surfboard and the other holding the head of the surfboard.
"You take a rest, we'll do the heavy work!"
"Han!"
There was explosive cheering at the scene.
"Han!"
"I love you!"
“You’re a hero!”
