Is there any relationship between The Adventures of Tintin and Xu Wei’s Blue Lotus! ?

It can also be said that it is related, or it can be said that it is not related.

When Xu Wei wrote Blue Lotus, it was in the album "Time Walking" in October 2002. Judging from the time, "The Adventures of Tintin" is earlier than it, and the two are related to a certain extent.

Blue Lotus Xu Wei

Nothing can stop you

Your yearning for freedom

An unconstrained life

Your heart has no worries

Through the dark years

I also felt hesitant

The moment you lowered your head

I realized The road under your feet

The free world in your heart

So clear and lofty

Blooming forever

Blue lotus

Under what conditions did Xu Wei create "Blue Lotus"?

Xu Wei’s own answer: The main reason is that I particularly like two historical figures. One is Xuanzang. I have read all of his works at the Da Ci’en Temple in Xi’an, including the “Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty” that he later wrote. It's two different things from "Journey to the West". Xuanzang himself was a man of perseverance and firm belief. He had a huge impact on Chinese culture and history. Another character is Li Shutong. Li Shutong and Xuanzang have one thing in common: they are very firm and confident, have a resolute character, and are very brave. Singing such a firm belief and working hard to live, they are a typical example. You should be open-minded and feel more about life to learn. I wrote "Blue Lotus" to sing about this spirit and about people with firm beliefs.

It is said that there is a blue lotus in the sky, commonly known as the blue lotus, which can To raise the dead to life. Freedom is not easy to grasp here, and it is rather abstract to talk about. It can be said that the entire song basically revolves around the hesitation in reality. The blue lotus just represents hope, which can be said to be freedom or something more. It may be more vivid to understand it with the lyrics "When you lower your head, you find the path under your feet." Of course, each listener will certainly form their own unique opinion.

As mentioned above, Xu Wei's Blue Lotus has a feeling of yearning for freedom, and also carries the atmosphere of bravery, perseverance, perseverance and firm belief. This is very similar to the character of the protagonist Tintin. Persistence means that Tintin will think seriously and keep going every time he encounters a problem; courage means that Tintin and his friends are wise and courageous and will deal with the enemy calmly and bravely whenever they encounter danger; perseverance means that in "Tintin is Here" In "Tibet", in order to find his friend Zhang, Tintin was not afraid of the cold and hardships, and was not afraid of the snowman's surprise attack. In the end, he relied on his perseverance and firm belief to find and save his friend. From this aspect, Xu Wei’s blue lotus can also express this meaning.

However, judging from Xu Wei's own narrative, this meaning is not accurate. The connection is not consistent enough. The Blue Lotus may be an alpine lotus, rather than the "Blue Lotus," the name of the opium den in "The Adventures of Tintin," which has a different meaning.

If there is a connection, it is just that the connotations expressed in the lyrics are similar and have nothing to do with the names.

Using "Blue Lotus" as the theme song of "The Adventures of Tintin" is to integrate its profound connotation into Tintin's character.

It can be said to be a very good episode. If you look at "Blue Lotus" this way, it basically fits the theme.

As mentioned before, the Blue Lotus in "The Adventures of Tintin" is the name of an opium den in Shanghai.

The lyrics of Wang Feng's "North by Northeast" seem to have nothing to do with The Adventures of Tintin. I guess "north-northwest" should be the direction Tintin mentioned. Is it related to the episode "Mysterious Star"? What episode is "North by Northwest" in? The episode "Blue Lotus" seems not to have appeared.

Supplement: "North by Northwest": from "The Adventures of Tintin" - "The Black Island". ——In Tintin's version of "North by Northwest", airplanes are also used to swoop to kill people. Tintin has as many jokes as thrilling scenes. After discovering that the plane of unknown origin was knocked unconscious, Tintin began a tenacious pursuit. Otherwise, where would we have the chance to meet Tintin wearing a tweed skirt? Do you know why so many reporters finally flocked to Scotland to interview Tintin? I'm sure it's because he looks so cool in a skirt!
