In this show, the sisters not only showed the charm after years of precipitation, but also sang several old songs of "some age", and each old song can connect some interesting past events.
"Girls and Quartet": the same song, two styles
The second performance of "The Sister on the Wind", Huang Shengyi, Yineng Jing, and Zhang Meng, the "grinding little master" performed the song "Girls and Quartet". The audience imagined the scene of the car accident. Instead, there was a "Stepmother Tea Party". A sense of harmony.

The original song "Girls and Quartet" was written by Ding Wei. It actually has two versions, the earliest version was sung by Mag.
An audience commented that the earliest hearing of this song was in "Oriental Time and Space". In the 1990s, CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space" "Golden Chart" recommended a series of excellent songs such as "Great China", "Xiaofang" and "Alian", including "Girls and Quartet".
The style of "Girls and Quartet" is very different from the popular music at that time. It is based on classical music. In the MV, Mag has short hair, wearing big glasses, and muttering: "Should I wear That floral dress is waiting for you/do you think I'm so tacky..." With a violin accompaniment, it sounds a bit cold and personal.

But now looking at this musician's page, only one album and three songs can be found. Mag is not a professional singer. She was originally an enterprise announcement of Earth Records. The copy of the album "Campus Ballad" came from her. One day, the music producer Jin Wulin accidentally discovered her unique voice, and she and Ding Wei and others made the "Girls and Quartet" album for her.
This album says: "The music I made for her is not any form of pop music you have ever heard before. It is a beautiful thing, very natural, and it is a very ordinary girl. Inner voice."
Later, the original author Ding Wei refilled the song and adapted it to sing. The name is "Girls and Quartet". The two versions have different styles. The sisters sang this version.
On the show, the sisters jumped into tango in full costumes. If they said that they showed mature and feminine charm, the original song MV showed delicate and rich girls' thoughts. A girl walked alone on the busy street. I don't want to be seen the loss of feelings: "I should smile/have a little pride/even if you are gone/I can't make people laugh..."

In the comments on the performance stage, some people mentioned Mag. It is a pity that after the album "Girls and Quartet", Mago said goodbye to the identity of a singer. Her story, like many singers at that time, was often asked by netizens: "Where did __ go?"
"Orchid Grass": Its lyrics have a hundred years of history?
A few days ago, the highly-acclaimed new lyrics of "Orchid Grass" caused some copyright disputes. In the first performance of "The Sister on the Wind", this old song sung by Tranquility, A Duo, and Yuan Yonglin also has many stories behind it. .

"Orchid Grass" comes from a small poem "Hope" written by Hu Shi in 1921. This poem is included in the first collection of vernacular poems in the history of modern Chinese literature, "Trial Collection." One day, writer Shen Congwen asked his son to read this poem, and after his son said, "Hey! This poem is like a child's writing!" "Hu Shizhi wrote this, even a great man?"
Shen Congwen said: "Of course it is more than that. But at that time it was great to be able to write such children's things. No one advocates these, you will not read so many new books, and I will not write novels."
A few decades later, this little poem was slightly modified and composed, and another story was launched.
The early version of "Orchid Grass", which was widely circulated, was sung by Yin Xia. Yin Xia was formerly known as Zhang Jiaxing, the younger sister of movie star Zhen Zhen (Zhang Jia Zhen). Zhen Zhen's husband is a well-known songwriter and director Liu Jiachang, who brought Yin Xia to the music In 1979, Yin Xia released the album "Answer", which included not only "Snail and Oriole Bird" adapted from nursery rhymes, but also this "Orchid Grass".
Yin Xia's album "Answer".
In the early 90s of last century, Yin Xia gradually faded out of the performing arts circle, but the subsequent encounters were disappointing. After Yin Xia’s mother died of cancer, she was exposed to medical negligence delaying her condition. She has been involved in lawsuits for many years. What is more surprising is that her mother’s experience has been repeated on her. In May this year, Yin Xia passed The lawyer spoke, accusing the doctor of misdiagnosis and surgical errors in 2014 that caused her cancer cells to spread.
In addition to the female version of Yin Xia, the well-known male version of "Orchid Grass" was sung by Liu Wenzheng.
Now listening to this name, many people are already a bit strange. As a singer who was the same as Teresa Teng, Liu Wen is a legend in the history of Chinese popular music. He sang the classic campuses such as "The Country Road" and "Grandma's Penghu Bay". folk song. In the 1970s, as a student, Luo Dayou wrote the theme song and interlude for "The Shining Days" starring Liu Wenzheng and Zhang Aijia, which also became Luo Dayou's earliest published work in the music scene.
Liu Wenzheng's album "Ami! May! ".
In 1984, when his career was in full swing, Liu Wenzheng chose to fade out of the music industry. In that year, he had won the three-time Golden Bell Award for Best Male Star Award. He gave the trophy to a 29-year-old young singer-Fei Yuqing.
Two years later, Liu Wenzheng transformed and set up Feiying Records behind the scenes to launch newcomers such as Wu Qixian. Recently, Yi Nengjing, who has been constantly talking about the topic, was introduced by him.
At that time, Yineng, who was only 16 years old and returned to Japan from Japan, took a photo of the ID card. Liu Wenzheng accidentally saw this model photo pressed under the glass and went to Tokyo to find her and wanted to take her into the entertainment industry.

Yinengjing's mother once strongly opposed her going on this path. In a hurry, Yinengjing bought a ticket with his money to fly back to Taipei. Later, she and Qiu Haizheng and Fang Wenlin formed a "flying eagle three Shu", became a popular girl idol group.
Liu Wen retreated bravely in 1991, shut down the record company and moved to the United States, completely withdrew from the performing arts circle. Since then, there have been countless rumors, and he has not appeared in the public eye, as sung in "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter": "You have gone away, nowhere Looking for travel."
In "The Sister Who Rides the Wind and Waves", when the 30 female stars first chose to perform the song, Zhang Yuqi was puzzled in "Orchid Grass", "What kind of song is this?" Yineng Jing saw the dynamic interpretation of the song and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "I came to the wrong place, not a generation".
"Pink Memories": There are little secrets behind the little secrets?
Although I don't know what song "Orchid Grass" is, Zhang Yuqi's first performance of "Pink Memories" is actually a golden song with a sense of time.

In 1987, the year when Zhang Yuqi was born, Guangzhou Audiovisual Press introduced singer Han Baoyi's album "Pink Memories", "Summer and Summer Quietly Leaving Little Secrets" began to sing in the streets and alleys.
Han Baoyi's real name was Jiang Qiongjuan. He just debuted on the campus folk route, and later transferred to Singapore-style records, gradually becoming popular. In fact, she was not the first to sing "Pink Memories", but this very magical song not only made Han Baoyi popular all over Southeast Asia, but also covered singers became popular one by one.
In 1990, Yang Gangli, who had not yet changed his name to Yang Yuying, went to Guangzhou to develop. At this time, Han Baoyi’s new album had already been released overseas. The audiovisual publishing house found Yang Yuying to cover it. "Yang Gangli" printed on the back.
What's more interesting is that this album, named after Han Baoyi and sung by Yang Yuying, has the cover of Hong Kong movie star Pan Yingzi. But this album with some "cottages" was ordered 180,000 boxes as soon as it was released, which also opened the market for Yang Yuying.
Yang Yuying's album "90 Han Baoyi·How Deep Love Me".
The turbulent acting life brought a lot of pain to Han Baoyi. She eventually bid farewell to the music scene because of "mental pain even more than physical pain". In 2004, she came back again, and released albums such as "A Winter Smile" and "A Little Smile".
Zhang Yuqi later explained that the reason for choosing "Pink Memories" is because the MVs in KTV are ugly, and this version of the MV has some special styles, which were shot during this period.

Times have changed. When Han Baoyi came back, various online songs were popular in the society. In the new album, she not only sang the famous song again, but also sang the popular "Lilac Flower" at that time.
More than ten years later, in the movie "Chinatown Detective 2", a foreign brave man wearing sunglasses and rose roses suddenly pulled Wang Baoqiang into a romantic dance, and Han Baoyi's "Pink Memories" appeared unexpectedly. Attracted the audience to laugh, at this time, this golden song has become a romantic and distant echo of the times.
Just like "Charlotte's troubles" is to "One Cut Plum", in recent years, more and more old songs have turned red from film and television dramas and variety shows. A generation of musicians bid farewell to the music scene, leaving golden songs and being given new meaning. Sing again and again. (Finish)
