Recruitment in Cai Hua

What kind of song is "When Will You Come Again" and how did it come into being? When Liu Xuean was still studying in Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he was hired as a special composer by Shanghai Yihua Film Company. This film company was founded in the early 1930s. It once became an important position for left-wing films under the control of the * * * film group headed by Xia Yan. Both Tian Han and Shi Dongshan have worked here and made many progressive films, such as National Survival and Tide in the China Sea. 1936 with the support of China university of technology, the company filmed the musical "Samsung with the Moon". This is a film that reflects the difficulties of Chinese national industrialists and businessmen in starting businesses under the circumstances that there are many foreign-funded enterprises and foreign goods are flooding the market. When the film started shooting, director Fang asked to write a tango dance for the film and gave him a tango. This is an unnamed dance music, which was improvised by Liu Xuean at the graduation tea party of the Conservatory of Music. On that day, the junior students asked each senior student to write a work and perform it at the meeting. Liu Xuean immediately composed this tango dance music, which was played by Russian students and was very popular. After Fang got this dance music, without consulting with him, he asked the screenwriter Huang Jiamo to write lyrics, which became the later famous song "When will you come again": "Good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't often happen; Sorrow accumulates to laugh, and tears spill acacia. Come back when you leave tonight. The lyrics have four paragraphs, followed by overlapping sentences. In front of them were: "Dew wet the atrium, and agarwood floated outside; Yushu in western Western jackdaw is miserable, and the bright moon shines on the high platform. """jade leaks frequently, and you can't go back in an instant. Just a thousand dollars for a while, don't dawdle on drinking. """don't sing, raise the white jade cup; Yin Qin talks frequently and caresses your arms firmly. "Dance music became a song. Liu Xuean didn't know about it beforehand. Later, when he saw the lyrics, he felt that some words were a bit vulgar, such as "Please have some side dishes after drinking this cup". This is what he said to his friend Jean-Nong Pan at that time, but he didn't put it forward to Director Fang Peilin because of his kindness. He only asked to use the pseudonym "Ru Yan" when signing. Why did the director change the tango to "When will you come again"? What scene does this song appear in? Let's take a look at the story of the film-industrialist Jiang Liyuan rose up and started Xinghua factory to produce daily necessities in the face of fierce competition between national industry and commerce and foreign capital; His son, Jiang Zongliang, studied chemical engineering in the United States. He planned to stay in the United States after graduation, but his father ordered him to return to China and become the manager of Xinghua factory. The film tells the story of Jiang Zongliang's love while running a factory. For the development of the factory, Jiang Zongliang decided to start broadcasting advertising business and needed to recruit a singer. Wang Xiuwen, an unemployed female singer at home, applied for a job, passed the exam and entered Xinghua factory. Her euphemistic singing deeply attracted Jiang Zongliang, and they fell in love. But later, due to misunderstanding, the relationship was interrupted. Xiuwen resigned in pain and said that she would leave the factory. Jiang Zongliang regretted it ... At this time, a classmate of Jiang Zongliang who worked in the factory successfully tried out a new product. The factory held a grand celebration party, and performed musicals "Three Stars Accompanying the Moon" and "Saving the Country by Craft". Xiuwen was also invited to sing at the meeting. She sang a song "When will you come again" affectionately. Affectionate melody and touching lyrics fully show the heroine's pain and sadness in the frustration of love. The singer in the film was played by Zhou Xuan, who was famous in film and television circles and music circles at that time, and when will you come again was sung by herself. Her singing deeply touched the audience and made When Will You Come Again spread like wildfire. Especially after a record was released, it spread more widely and became a popular song. 1939 in the anti-Japanese film Orphan Island Paradise directed by Cai Chusheng, the song "When will you come again? "Being used. Li Lili, the actor who played * * * in the film, recalled: "In this film, I played a * * * person from the north who lived in exile in Shanghai. She sympathized with and supported a group of patriotic youths living on the same floor, and developed feelings with their leader, the mysterious youth. After hearing the intelligence of the enemy spy's activities, the spy took part in an action plan agreed by a patriotic youth: at a dance, she sang the song "When will you come again" as a signal to take action, covering the patriotic youth to skillfully seize the enemy spy, and then climbed over the wall to join the anti-Japanese guerrillas. When I sang the last two sentences, the plan had been successfully realized and patriotic young people were evacuating. I stared at the distant figure of the' mysterious youth' and sang' When will you come back after leaving tonight', and there was a pun. "When will you come again" also spread to Japan. Japanese singer Hamako Watanabe sang "When Will You Come Again" in Japanese and recorded it, which was very popular. Another Japanese singer, Shu Zi Yamaguchi, repeatedly sang "When will you come again". Her father used to work in the northeast, and she grew up in Fushun. As a child, she was adopted by her father's friend, Li Jichun, general manager of Shenyang Bank, and was named Li Xianglan. She liked singing since she was a child and later became a singer and actress. She especially likes Zhou Xuan's songs, especially When Will You Come Again. She sang in Chinese and Japanese, and made Chinese records that sold well in Japan. Later, she starred in the film Song of Prynne, which promoted Japan's invasion of China, and Symphony of Suffering, which was shot by the Puppet Manchukuo Film Association. In the love scenes of these two movies, she sang "When will you come again?" Li Xianglan likes "When will you come again?" Besides singing in Chinese, it is also translated into Japanese. The Japanese version of "When will you come again" reached the Japanese military camp, but it was also warmly welcomed and everyone sang. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after, the Chinese and Japanese version of "When Will You Come Again" was banned by the Japanese inspection authorities. The reason why the Japanese version prohibits singing is because the lingering decadent sound will make Japanese military discipline lax; As for the Japanese * * * blocking China's version of "When Will You Come Again" in the occupied areas of China, the main reason is that China people expect the national army to use this song to counterattack and save them. By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese troops in Nanjing and Shanghai knew that they were going to lose, but they were not willing to lose, so they came up with a bad idea, even saying, "When will you come again?" According to Duan, a senior writer, he was still a child of 1 1 and witnessed the Japanese changing "He Rijun" to "He" and "Jun" to "Jun". With this change, "When will you come again" becomes "Congratulations to the Japanese army"! This tampering with the lyrics seriously affected people's hearts, and was quickly discovered by our intelligence personnel behind the enemy lines and reflected in Chongqing, the capital of the rear area at that time. National President Chiang Kai-shek was very angry and personally ordered the whole country to ban singing this song. At the same time, the record company that published "When Will You Come Again" will also take back all the unsold records and destroy them. Radio stations are not allowed to play this song. Soon the song went from prosperity to decline, and then it was silent.
