Writing background of newspaper songs:
In 933, when Nie Er was working in Shanghai Lianhua Film Company, he met a newsboy named Xiaomaotou, whose prototype was her. The little girl surnamed Yang is ten years old this year. She doesn't have a formal scientific name. People call her "Xiao Mao". One day, when Xiao Mao was dizzy and wobbly with hunger, a tram stopped and a group of people poured down from it.
Xiao Maotou was knocked to the ground, his head was covered with blood bubbles, and newspapers were scattered all over the floor. Little boy sat on the ground and burst into tears. At this time, a strange uncle helped her pick up the newspaper, helped her get up and bought all the dirty newspapers-this person is Nie Er.
Nie Er pays the most attention to the experience and feeling of life in his creation, and the newspaper songs that everyone can sing are enough to prove this. 1933 It was an autumn evening and he asked his friend Boxun Zhou out for a walk. As he walked along, he said to his friend, There is a little girl selling newspapers ("Xiao Maotou") on this road. Her name is very nice and she wants Boxun Zhou to hear it.
When they arrived at the entrance of Ban Lü Road (Chongqing South Road), they saw a little girl walking around, selling the evening paper in a hurry. Her voice is clear and loud, selling registration and prices in an orderly manner. Knowing that his father was ill and his family life was difficult, Nie Er bought some newspapers and chatted with her at the same time.
On the way home, Nie Er said with a heavy voice, "I really want to write about the tragic life of a newspaper-selling child, and I want Tian Han or an E to write lyrics." . A few days later, An E wrote, and Nie Er found the little girl. Read her the lyrics, and then ask her if there is anything inappropriate.
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Everything is fine, but if I can write down how many newspapers I can buy with coins, I can sell them while singing." Nie Er immediately went back to discuss with An E and added the sentence "Seven coppers can buy two newspapers" to the lyrics. Later, the little girl really sold her singing, and singing made her business better.
