Original title: behind the first Waltz style military song of I love the blue ocean, there is such a story & hellip& hellip;
On September 14, the second day of the Mid Autumn Festival holiday, Hu Jun released such a sad and regretful message on his microblog:
Hu Jun's father Hu Baoshan was born in Beijing in June 1935. He is a famous baritone singer and a national first-class actor in China.
Hu Baoshan began to participate in the military literature and art work in 1950. He once studied with Professor Cai Jingyi. In 1958, he went to Bulgaria to study vocal music with Professor Cherkin. Later, he studied as a graduate student in Sofia Conservatory of music and studied with world-famous vocal music professor brenbarov.
Introduction to representative works of Hu Baoshan's personal data
In 1961, Hu Baoshan graduated from Sofia Conservatory of music with outstanding achievements. After returning to China, he successively served as a soloist in the song and dance troupe of the General Political Department of the people's Liberation Army and the song and dance troupe of Haizheng. His voice is pure and thick, his enunciation is true, his range is wide, and he is very infectious.
The most representative work of Hu Baoshan is the song I love the blue ocean. "I love the blue ocean" was composed by Hu Baoshan, and Wang Chuanliu wrote the lyrics with him.
In 1971, in order to welcome North Korean Prime Minister Kim Il Sung and Cambodian Prince Sihanouk, Premier Zhou Enlai specially organized a literary and art troupe of the armed forces, navy and air force to arrange a literary and artistic evening. At that time, almost all the music creation took a magnificent and passionate way. After watching the party, the prime minister was not very satisfied: 'comrades, the sea is calm! Why can't you sing some lyrical songs? "
Hu Baoshan kept the premier's words in mind. He decided to write a lyrical military song. In 1972, Hu Baoshan, then a soloist of the Haizheng song and dance troupe, went to sea to practice. From Nanping to Shantou, there were great storms all the way, and the driving of warships took a specific rhythm. It suddenly occurred to him that he could write this song with waltz to show the optimism of navy soldiers in their hard life. Hu Baoshan soon finished his creation. When he sang for the first time, he was very popular with navy commanders and fighters. "I love the blue ocean" was also the first Waltz style military song born in that period. Not long ago, "I love this blue ocean" was also selected as "100 excellent songs celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China" by the Central Propaganda Department.
Hu Baoshan suffered from diabetes and cancer before his death. At the second recurrence of lymphatic cancer, his mouth was crooked and he was choking on food. When he joined the army since childhood, he felt that he would die if he didn't sing, so he practiced holding his throat every day. At first, he practiced for two hours every day. Later, he doubled. Shengsheng pulled his mouth back. Hu Baoshan has been active on the stage for decades.
The Hu Baoshan family has a strong artistic atmosphere. His wife Wang Yiman, his son Hu Jun and his daughter-in-law Lu Fang are all actors. The famous tenor singer Hu Songhua who has sung songs such as hymn and beautiful grassland my home is his brother, and Hu Songhua's wife Zhang manru is a famous dancer.
Interestingly, Hu Jun, who was influenced by music since childhood, did not embark on the road of singer like his father and uncle. When the elders practiced, Hu Jun heard 'noise'. At the suggestion of his mother, Hu Jun later applied for the Central Academy of drama. During the examination, an Italian song "my sun" still helped him a lot.
Ma ziyue, the former art director of the comrades in arms art troupe of the Beijing Military Region and a bass singer, has known Hu Baoshan for decades. Ma ziyue watched Hu Baoshan sing for the first time at the gala organized by Premier Zhou. In 1975, Ma ziyue and Hu Baoshan participated in the "40th anniversary of the victory of the long march" military literature and art show, and their exchanges have deepened ever since. In Ma ziyue's impression, there are few singers in the army who study abroad like Hu Baoshan, 'Mr. Hu sings very well. He is very kind and amiable. We are younger than him. He will listen to us sing under the stage and tell you where to sing well and where to improve. He is very helpful whenever he is asked for help. "
Hu Baoshan sings "hidden fragrance"
A few months ago, when the film musician starring Hu Jun was released, Hu Baoshan also called ma ziyue to attend the premiere. " I think he was in good health at that time. I always knew he had diabetes, but I still didn't expect him to leave. I was very sad to hear that today. He is a good teacher and friend of our life. " Ma ziyue said.
