368: The Song and the Story Are There, but the Tears Are Missing (1)
"This little ginger..."
Not far away, Zhou Mulong held the story copy in his hand and looked at the filming of the MV. He didn't know what to say. Apart from being outrageous, it was still outrageous.
Only one day after joining the group, Jiang Ge suddenly came over to borrow Zhang Fucheng's name, saying that he had written a story and wanted to make it into a music video.
Well, after understanding it, I realized that it is not a simple story, but a touching love story that can be made into a movie or TV series.
Ten minutes passed, and two more NGs were released. The final scene of this MV was finally filmed.
Mei Manlu and Zhang Fucheng went to remove their makeup.
Jiang Ge walked towards Zhou Mulong and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm done here."
Zhou Mulong handed over the folder and said, "Why not make it into a movie or TV series? It would be a pity to just make a MV."
Jiang Ge wiped the back of his head and said, "I have more ambition than strength."
Zhou Mulong smiled and said, "Don't look at me."
Jiang Ge's little thoughts were seen through, he coughed twice, and said seriously: "Actually, song + MV + story copywriting is also a good form of artistic expression."
Zhou Mulong nodded and said, "That's true. Not all stories are suitable for being put on the screen. It depends on the current audience's aesthetics, the market environment, the risks of the subject matter, and other factors."
Jiang Ge naturally knew this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it later."
After the MV editing, audio synthesis and other matters were completed, the new song preview was posted on Weibo.
——[There are stories and songs, are you ready? 】
Just like the first and second times, it was a simple and short sentence.
but.
The discussion this sentence caused was neither simple nor brief.
"It's only been a few days and you're releasing a new song?"
"Which artist, I want to know."
"Is it the Mandarin version of "I Just Like You"?"
"It says there are both 'story and song', so it can't be the same song."
"Doesn't anyone find this sentence familiar?"
"Yes, the preview of Mei Manlu's first song after joining Huafeng said [I have a song, do you have a story?]. It is obviously a series."
…
This wave of operations has brought back the popularity and topic.
Jiang Ge was not targeting Liu Ronghua. Mei Manlu's four songs had already been scheduled for release, and Zhang Liming's "I Just Like You" was added during the period. It was just a coincidence.
In fact, apart from the friction with Penguin Entertainment, he has never thought about letting Huafeng's artists compete with anyone. The purpose of everything he has done since taking over Huafeng was to "replace "Father repays debts", now the goal is to "create a superstar".
All I can say is that you are unlucky when you encounter it.
——————
The next day, exactly 12 noon.
The third song "Sunset Song" created by Jiang Ge for Mei Manlu was released on NetEase Cloud Music.
Many people have been waiting for it early and want to listen to it first when it is released.
Zhou Lingwei is one of them.
First of all, she is Django's girlfriend and little fan girl, and she will support her works.
Secondly, she liked Mei Manlu's voice very much.
Finally, she heard from Django that there had been changes in the arrangement of the song, and what changes made the difference.
"This guy even hid it from me. Let's see if I can deal with you when you come back!"
Zhou Lingwei hummed a few words, and then clicked on the new song page. Her eyes suddenly widened. The card list was too full, and it was a specially created special page.
The top is a large paragraph of text, and the bottom is the MV.
She has followed Django for so long that she knows that songs basically have stories.
"It turns out the change refers to this."
Zhou Lingwei's eyes lit up and she began to read carefully.
[Yuan Yongding, who worked in a newspaper office, met Ruhua, a woman who came to post a missing person GG, but she had no money to pay the GG fee. Yuan Yongding asked her to come back the next day, but he didn't want her to insist and followed Yuan Yongding all the way. During the chat, Yuan Yongding was surprised to find that she was a female ghost who died in the 1930s.
Ruhua is the red card of a brothel, full of charm, and the Twelve Young Master is a rich young man named Chen Zhenbang from a wealthy family in the north and south. The two of them first met in the brothel.
When the Twelve Young Masters turned around and saw Ruhua, a woman dressed as a man and singing in an opera in front of him, he was shocked that there could be such a beauty in the world. He could no longer walk and stood at the door for a long time, looking at her. He kept looking at her. In the blink of an eye, Ruhua changed into a cheongsam and appeared again. In front of everyone, every move and gesture of the Twelve Young Masters revealed their charm. The Twelve Young Masters could not keep their eyes away from Ruhua and looked at her intently. But Ruhua, however, did not pay attention to the Twelve Young Masters at all and never even looked at her. Twelve young men.
From then on, the Twelve Young Masters tried their best to please Ruhua, giving them bud orchid belts, embroidered shoes, fragrant beads, rouge boxes, jewelry and jade... After bombarding them with expensive gifts and sweet words, Ruhua finally fell. From then on, the Twelve Young Masters and Ruhua spent the whole day. Being tender and lingering on this copper bed, no longer caring about human affairs, the two of them are together, which is the most real thing.
However, due to the disparity in status, the marriage was opposed by the Chen family. The famous Chen family did not accept prostitutes as their wives, so they expelled the Twelve Young Masters from the house. The Second Young Master is a playboy who has no ability to support his family. They gradually run out of money and reach the end of their lives. They want to commit suicide for their love, but finally make a pact in the underworld and plan to devour YP. As a result, they die like a flower, but the Twelve Young Master is saved. Fifty years later, Ru Hua waited for twelve young people to find her, so she went to the underworld to look for her.
Yuan Yongding sympathized with Ruhua's experience and tried his best to help her find someone, but fifty years had passed and two or three generations had passed. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ruhua's seven-day limit in the mortal world was about to expire. Inadvertently, Yuan Yongding saw a copy of the "Bone Newspaper" and found that Twelve Young Master was a temporary actor in a film studio.
Finally.
After fifty years, Ruhua and Twelve Young Master met again. 】
The page has been pulled to the bottom, and the story ends here.
Why is there no ending? Zhou Lingwei was very confused.
At this moment, the MV started playing automatically.
"The setting sun is infinite
Helpless, it is only brilliant for a breath
With the clouds gradually dissipating
The lost glory will never return
The years are delayed
Unable to bear the changes of this life
Like floating clouds gathering and dispersing
Entangled with this vicissitudes of life..."
Zhou Lingwei was the first person to listen to this "Sunset Song".
However.
At that time, Jiang Ge sang a cappella, not only without accompaniment, but also in standard Cantonese, so it didn't sound very impressive.
But.
Now it is sung by Mei Manlu, with accompaniment, standard Cantonese, and the key is that it is accompanied by a story, and the feeling of listening to it again is different.
This song "Sunset Song" is a classic Cantonese song sung by Anita Mui in the 1980s. The original version is "タ火けの歌" by Japanese superstar Kondo Masahiko. It has been covered several times by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, with both Cantonese and Mandarin versions. Among the more famous versions are "Thousands of Songs" by Priscilla Chan and "Promise in the Wind" by Li Yijun.
"Sunset Song" was released on August 23, 1989, about a month later than "Thousands of Songs" was released on July 20, 1989. Due to the same tune and similar release time, the two songs competed fiercely. At the year-end awards ceremony, both were selected as the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs and the Top Ten Golden Songs. Although Anita Mui's album was inferior to Priscilla Chan's album in sales, the final Golden Song Gold Award was still won by "Sunset Song".
