Singing with deep affection in the tone of Jiu-Er, the heroine sang her strong and forbearing life and the interweaving of love and hate, which highlighted Jiu-Er's stubbornness, just like that sorghum plant was full of vitality, so as to tell the audience the perseverance of the Chinese people, just like the lyrics said: Jiu-Er is the most beautiful place, it is that sorghum plant that has become red, and it is that generation that has become red in the land of China.
Jiu-Er is the ending song of the TV series Red Sorghum, written by He Qiling and Roc Chen, and composed by Roc Chen. There are two versions sung by Han Hong and Hu Shasha respectively. This song takes the heroine "Jiu-Er" as the first person, and shows Jiu-Er's strong and forbearing character, life-long love and hate, ups and downs incisively and vividly through Han Hong's high-pitched story.
Jiu-Er's lyrics are as follows:
The area around you.
Jujube fragrance in hand
Sorghum is ripe and red all over the sky.
Jiu-Er, I will take you far away.
The area around you.
Jujube fragrance is at hand.
Sorghum is ripe and red all over the sky.
Jiu-Er, I will take you far away.
Ah!
Sorghum is ripe and red all over the sky.
Jiu-Er, I will take you far away.
Jiu-Er, I will take you far away.
Song creation background:
When Roc Chen was composing the music of Red Sorghum, he found Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum Family" and the movie version to listen to it repeatedly. He also had some exchanges with director Zheng Xiaolong and went to Gaomi Sorghum field to collect folk songs. In Roc Chen's mind, Jiu-Er is stubborn, dare to love and hate, just like sorghum, with strong vitality.
In addition, the shadow of Zhou Xun appeared in Roc Chen's mind. This role, this actor and his music have a certain degree of fit. In Roc Chen's view, Han Hong has a wide range, and she can sing even the highest notes, and the keynote of this song is to keep improving and go to the high notes.
