Chapter 333: Echo
The lethality of "Fairy Tale" was able to dominate even in 2005, which was tortured by various Korean dramas and idol dramas. It beat Jay Chou, who had been promoted to the king, and could not hold his head up. The power of "Nocturne" in 2002 Of course there is no need to say more.
Not to mention that "Nocturne" was released late and suffered a loss in time. In fact, if the data of these two songs within a one-year period were compiled, the loss of "Nocturne" would be even more ugly——
There is only one reason: "Fairy Tale" has a larger audience, covers a wider age group, and is more able to trick fans into crying.
The 11-year-old Deng Shiyin made a vow with tears in her eyes after cheating her out of a pack of tissues. The 20-year-old Zhang Jie’s tear ducts are not as developed as those of children, but she only felt vaguely after listening to the song and watching the MV. Learn the idea of having a cigarette with your roommate.
But since he still had to work and sing in bars to earn tuition and living expenses, the idea only fleetingly occurred in his mind and did not take shape.
When the plot of "Fairy Tale" came to an end, a very simple confession MV came immediately -
"Mr. Lonely".
As always, Zhou Yi's name is written in the lyrics, music and arrangement column, and he looks a little haggard when he appears in this MV compared to the previous MVs.
"Your smile is a favor~
"The world is rarely so beautiful
"So I chased and asked you to accompany me.
"It's a pity that instinct will eventually turn beautiful sweat into tears~"
Like "Fairy Tale", it opens with a plaintive tune composed of piano. Zhou Yi, who had rarely sung bass before, showed off his voice talent that is enviable by others by singing in a low voice at the beginning of the song.
The content of these four lyrics at the beginning will not confuse those who have not caught up with "Fairy Tale" and can be listened to as a brand new song. At the same time, it can also allow listeners who have watched "Fairy Tale" to be deeply involved in the previous song. The plot of the MV——
Beautiful sweat finally turned into tears.
"The reason why the night is dark~
"Awakening the ghosts in people's hearts...
"It's lobbying, it's lingering, there's something inside that's destroying me
"Being scarred~~"
Zhang Jie, who had just come out of his immersion, suddenly heard these four lines of lyrics from "Mr. Lonely" and was instantly inspired——
The ghost in your heart? ? ?
destroy? ? ?
Instinctively, he immediately thought of the second song on side A of Zhouyi's "Lianshan" album: "Ghost".
It is a song that reflects the relationship between people in society, the alienated society and family environment that turn people into ghosts, and the dark side of the human heart.
Zhang Jie likes the expression of this song very much, but he also knows in his heart that this kind of song will never be liked by too many listeners.
It belongs to the category where fans praise the so-called musicality, and music critics only bring it out when they need to so-called analyze the social significance.
Although he did not go to a music school, he was still a serious college student in Sichuan Normal University. Because he loved music, he knew a little bit about it.
I originally thought that the B-side of this album was a compromise made by Zhou Yi for the sake of the commercial market, but now, another idea vaguely appeared in Zhang Jie's mind -
"Eh? Zhang Jie, what are you doing? Don't you want to listen to "Mr. Lonely"? It's the last song."
"No, let me get the lyrics book."
Because I bought a hardcover CD, the included lyrics book directly included the lyrics of all ten songs from "Can you feel my world" to "Mr. Lonely". Zhang Jie was able to intuitively continue based on the information in the lyrics book. Confirm the guess that came to mind.
In the MV, Zhou Yi sat alone in the center of the stage, with only a single beam of light shining on him, and the soaring high notes shook Zhang Jie's heart in an instant——
“I can, it doesn’t matter!!!
"Lonely but crying all the time~"
The dejected look, the self-analysis in the middle of the night, and the fragile Zhou Yi in the backlight.
Just this picture alone is enough to make many people who had gritted their teeth about the "Fairy Tale" MV before empathize with this heart-wrenching song, and only feel sorry for Zhou Yi.
The lark in front of the screen was affected by the emotion and wanted to sing along with the second chorus, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he did the splits——
"I can do anything! Ahem..."
The sound is broken.
"Damn! Why is this song so difficult to sing?! Why does Zhou Yi look like he can sing it effortlessly???"
The roommate cursed and then turned to look at Zhang Jie: "Zhang Jie, you are a great singer. Can you sing this song? I feel that if you sing this song in a bar, many people will definitely give you flowers."
No joke, if you can sing this kind of high-pitched chorus in a bar, you will undoubtedly be one of the most handsome guys in the room.
"I don't know, you can try to learn."
Zhang Jie felt very excited that he had discovered a new world. After "Mr. Lonely" ended, he was about to rewind to the first song, ready to look for evidence that could verify his conjecture. But after eleven seconds of silence and black screen, a different kind of cold musical instrument sound came from the TV——
?
What's this? Guzheng? then what?
Why are there still songs?
Aren’t there just ten songs?
Zhang Jie was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to check the lyrics book in his hand.
That’s right, it’s ten songs.
""Fireworks Easily Cold"?"
When the screen, which had been black for eleven seconds, turned on again, there was a scene similar to that of shopping in a film and television city. Zhou Yi, wearing a modern magenta T-shirt and black overalls, was walking around with a paper tube rolled in his hand and a peaked cap on his head. In the crew of a costume drama.
"Hey, Chenghao, how many times do you want me to say this? This is a story based on "Luoyang Jialan Ji". Today's plot is sad. You can't get too far away from it."
Zhou Yi, who was suspected of being a director, criticized Cheng Hao, played by Cheng Hao: "If you really can't cry, can you use eye drops?"
"I'm sorry, director, I didn't mean to mess up your commemorative work."
Cheng Hao on the screen no longer looked like the gangster daughter in the "In the Name of the Father" MV, and timidly apologized.
After that, the singing came as Zhou Yi spent time with Cheng Hao while filming day by day——
"The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door, disturbing the world
"The dream has gone through my whole life, and I have had many love debts~"
Zhang Jie stood there blankly, looking closely at the elements in the MV that had appeared many times in "Fairy Tales", "Dimples", and "Today You Will Marry Me", which were quoted by Zhou Yi, and the dead Sun Yanzi’s favorite costume TV series and favorite story books...
At the same time, as if the fusion of two time and space, the proud and sinister gangster Cheng Hao in the "In the Name of the Father" MV has become a new success in this time and space, and has an intersection with Zhou Yi.
An inexplicable sense of fate in time and space immediately surged into Zhang Jie's heart, causing him to immediately reach for the remote control and start rewinding——
Could it be that……
Could it be that? !
"Hey Zhang Jie, what are you doing?"
"Wait a minute, I'll find something."
Facing the confusion and obstruction of his roommate, Zhang Jie, with excitement in his eyes, started to watch every MV second by second and memorize every lyric after rewinding the song on side A——
Finally, he discovered in "The Killer" that the freeze frame of the movie the heroine was watching was somewhat similar to the moving scene in "Fairy Tale", and even appeared to be Sun Yanzi's legs that were constantly shaking while sitting in the truck.
At the end of the normal 5-minute MV version of "In the Name of the Father", Zhou Yi, who had become a lonely godfather, slowly left home, and the TV screen in the living room, which was flashing with snowflakes, suddenly became clear after a sizzling sound -
A fleeting scene of home just allowed Zhang Jie to complete the freeze-frame.
And this scene happens to be the opening scene of the fifth song "Mom and Dad" on side A. At the same time, in the MV for "Mom and Dad", there is also a TV that is flashing with snowflakes because it cannot receive the signal.
right!
That's it! !
My guess was correct! ! !
Echoed! ! !
Zhang Jie's breathing suddenly became heavier, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made him quickly pick up a pen and paper and start recording these time points, and then got up and left his roommate's house——
"Hey, Zhang Jie, why are you going?"
"Go to the Internet cafe. I have something to do. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
Zhang Yue was very excited with the contentment of "I understand the idol's good intentions."
He felt that he needed to practice the songs in Zhou Yi's album, and they would definitely become popular!
