Chapter 186 A Successful Person? Just "Stranger"

The discussion on the Internet was very intense. Many netizens felt that it was not enough after listening to the song, so they chose to go to the cinema to support the show.

The directors never dreamed that their original plan to use the theme song to drive box office would actually come true after being delayed for so many days.

The box office growth far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The most painful thing is that the cultural and tourism bureaus in various places have made four songs in a row, the first of which is to persuade people to go home. "Go Home Often" uses the tone of parents to persuade people to go home. Those who have a harmonious family listened to the advice on the spot.

"The Unknown Man" has a different angle. If I can't persuade you, I will sing it directly into the hearts of the workers. If you don't believe it, you won't go home.

"Wang" is even more amazing, using the family card to persuade countless tourists to leave.

Of course, many musicians in the entertainment industry are also suffering.

The darkest hour has already become numb. Starting from October, every month is the darkest hour, and the dark clouds become thicker each time.

The people who were pressed could not breathe. This lasted for four or five months. During this period, they were made to think that it was dawn countless times, but it turned out that this innocence would never dawn.

In January, "Ode to the Motherland", which was rated as a nuclear bomb, suddenly stood out from dozens of masters. Lu Xinzhi, a leading composer in the world, publicly stated that it was not as good as his promise.

Officials even recommended that the song be widely sung and learned across the country, and major official media came out to praise it.

Others are scared to death when they see the official name roll, fearing that if they accidentally commit something, they will be publicly criticized or even banned.

What a promise, a role model for artists in the new era!

What's even more exaggerated is that he actually dared to bring Baga elements to the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the chief director Yu Tianlei actually went crazy with him.

In recent years, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala has changed again and again. It stands to reason that this kind of program should be rejected if it is reported.

The surprising result was that the program successfully passed the review.

At this time, news came out that the higher-ups had different opinions on this program and thought the song was fine, but the stage format was too sensitive.

At this time, a big boss spoke up and silenced everyone by quoting a famous saying: "The people like it, but you don't like it, no matter who you are, as long as the intention is correct, it is valuable."

Then the program was given the green light all the way. Whether it was the actors or the program effects, it was the most valued program in this Spring Festival Gala.

From the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala to the end of the Spring Festival Gala, almost all the news focused on Nuo Yan, and now the Spring Festival Gala is over.

Before everyone could get excited, they found that it was getting dark again.

Familiar taste, familiar routine, familiar sense of oppression.

Except for the new guy Xia Ke who came out in January and his song "Chengdu" became a hit all over the internet, everyone thought someone was going to challenge the promise.

As long as someone breaks his myth, fans' filters will disappear. This kind of thing is just like a persona. Once the persona is established, fans will buy it. Once the persona collapses, fans will rebel.

Who would have thought that although "Chengdu" was popular, Promise's back-up song "Shanghai Beach", with its top-notch configuration and ultimate enjoyment, suppressed "Chengdu" on the list.

The myth continued, and gradually everyone discovered that something was wrong with this knight-errant. Someone investigated, and found out that this man actually worked for a tourism company, specializing in writing travel songs for various cultural and tourism bureaus.

It's completely ruining their outlook. The person they have high hopes for is just trying to boost tourism? !

Everyone wanted to curse, this horse was just sitting on their heads and shitting!

Unable to bear it any longer, some people began to resort to petty tactics. Unfortunately, they hit the wall. Yang Haonan's father was really not jealous. He directly dragged a group of bosses into trouble. No one dared to mention the label of "migrant worker" anymore.

Throughout the month of January, the promise was in full glory, and the knight was at his peak when he debuted, but everyone was powerless.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the music industry is having a hard time this year.

The musician Xiao Zhang has been having a particularly hard time this year. His parents would always sing "Go home often, wash the chopsticks and wash the dishes" and then look at him with connotative eyes, so he could only wash the dishes silently.

After washing the dishes, I listened to the juniors loudly singing "O nameless person, I offer you a glass of wine."

As a musician, nothing would be more frustrating to him than when his family members sing other people's songs.

Forget it, let's go out for a walk. Xiao Zhang was walking around, and hey, there were children setting off firecrackers.

Before he could get closer, he heard the kid firing off cannons and going "around, around, around..."

Xiao Zhang was speechless and choked, and he found a place to squat and feel sad secretly.

…

In the Magic City, Wu Di, who was attacked by four songs in a row, remained indifferent.

The emotional card of "Go Home Often" couldn't impress him, and the unknown person in "The Nameless Man" couldn't make him feel a sense of belonging. After all, he is also someone who can be respectfully called "Mr. Wu". The story in "Looking" It couldn't resonate with him, it was too gentle, and he, a man in science and engineering, couldn't understand it.

He was rummaging back and forth on the Internet to find songs that could express his current state of mind, when "Stranger" appeared in his sight.

The word "Stranger" caught his attention, and he clicked on the song information.

Vocals: Yu Zhou

Lyricist and composer: Promise

It's a promise again. Wu Di actually likes this promise. He writes songs in various styles and they are all very nice.

Listen, Wu Di thought and clicked on the song.

The melodious sound of the accordion sounded, in folk style, and Wu Di fell in love with it immediately.

He considers himself to be a person of high status, so the songs he listens to should naturally reflect different tastes from ordinary people, such as ballads, which are stylish but not too crude.

"Traveling day and night just for a window,

When you are lost on the road and can see the light,

you unconsciously regard the foreign land as your hometown."

Wu Di's intoxicated expression changed a little. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he did regard himself as a new Shanghainese.

Subconsciously, he has always been proud of being a new Shanghainese, and he also introduces himself as a Shanghainese.

Hometown? How can that poor and remote place be worthy of a "successful person" like him?

So he rarely goes home, and doesn't talk about his hometown to others. Whenever people mention this topic, he will say: "Oh, I have lived in Shanghai for so many years, and I have forgotten my hometown a little."

"It's just that I look into the distance inadvertently when I am sad occasionally,

The hometown accent I used to hide quietly,

The unspeakable promise is always in my heart."

The music is still going on, and the lyrics really make Wu Di feel as if he has been stripped naked, which makes him very uncomfortable.

He replaced all the hometown accents with Mandarin, and even deliberately learned Shanghainese recently.

Wu Di regretted listening to this song, but the melody of the song made him continue to listen to it, to hear what Yu Zhou was going to sing.

"There are many times when tears are about to flow,

That window is the reason for me to be strong,

There is her tenderness at the small door,

Give me warmth and accompany me."

Looking up at this small house, the house that Wu Di emptied his family's savings to buy, he suddenly felt that this window could not make him strong, but every time he looked out of the narrow window, he would feel an inexplicable bitterness.

The only thing that can really make him strong is the old-fashioned mahogany window.

There are his parents waiting for him at the door.

Every line of the lyrics is like a blunt knife, but it can peel his heart bit by bit.

"How many people are fascinated by the prosperity in front of them

When you get closer, you will find that it is far away from your hometown.

Unconsciously, you regard a foreign land as your hometown,

But your hometown has become a foreign land. Occasionally you dare to look back."

Wu Di was struck by lightning. The prosperity of the Magic City has long made him intoxicated. For more than ten years, he has long regarded this place as his hometown, but his hometown has become a foreign land.

As the first generation to move from a rural town to the city, Wu Di has been torn apart from his hometown since the college entrance examination. Only when he occasionally misses it, he will think of the people and trees of his hometown.

"There is no need to talk about the ups and downs in the past.

People in a foreign land have the same melancholy."

Yu Zhou used a narrative way, one word at a time, and the short but profound lyrics made Wu Di a little upset.

The extremely simple sentences always hit the softest part of his heart inadvertently, the way home called hometown.

"That window is still bright and waiting for me,

I have seen so many mirages,

Let me return to the small door,

Give me warmth and accompany me,

Give me warmth and accompany me."

The song has ended, and Yu Zhou is still the same as before, not showing off, not being artificial, not being hypocritical, but hitting the human nature directly.

Wu Di sighed, thinking that Yu Zhou is worthy of being a singer called "people's representative", and he even moved him, a "successful person."

He packed up his things, turned down several collaborations, and decided to embark on the journey home.

"Strangers" are a unique group in China's decades of development. In the past few decades, a large number of Chinese people have poured into cities from rural areas. Many people have seized the opportunity and obtained household registration in first- and second-tier cities.

The population of first- and second-tier cities has skyrocketed, but most people are not pure natives.

Whether it is the "successful people" who are high above or the ordinary "unknown people", they are all "strangers" working hard in a foreign land.

These "strangers" need to rapidly transform and prove themselves in the new environment, and only after the great waves can they take root.

They work hard to change their identities from strangers to locals. Some people, like Wu Di, regard themselves as locals, and some people still have roots in their hearts. The Spring Festival travel rush is the best interpretation.

"Mirage", this is the evaluation of the prosperous world of foreign lands in the lyrics, and "returning to the small door" is the answer given.

For most "strangers", hometown has really become a symbol that cannot be easily mentioned. It is the place where parents who are looking forward to it are waiting for you to return.

The song "Stranger" ripped off the disguise of the prosperous world. On this day, countless people like Wu Di who claimed to be "successful people" packed their bags and set off on their way home.

No matter how good a foreign land is, it is not home after all.

The topic of "Stranger" has become a hot search.

#Singing "Stranger" to those who are wandering abroad

#The accent has changed and the hair has turned gray, and I ask the guest where he comes from with a smile

#I can't blend into a foreign land, and I can't return to my hometown

#Yu Zhou peeked into my life!
