434: The Prodigal Son Writes About the Ordinary? (2)
The third episode of "The Story of Time" has ended, but Luo Zongsheng and Lin Lian both think that listening to a good song once is not enough, so they open NetEase Cloud Music, find the newly released song "An Ordinary Day", and play it on repeat.
At the same time, log in to personal Weibo and write down your feelings.
——【I have been playing "The Lone Warrior" on repeat, and just listened to "An Ordinary Day". It is still intense and passionate, but more calm and ordinary. In addition to the birdsong and flowers and the rural scenery, the song also has a little bit of fireworks. The fireworks are sincere friendship, sweet love, and pure family affection. 】
——【Yes, an ordinary day is the life you yearn for, and the day you yearn for is an ordinary day. Are you happy to be ordinary or unwilling to be ordinary? There are still pragmatic dreams in the ordinary and stable life. Songs don’t have to have high-pitched shouts, and simplicity is not necessarily plain. 】
It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Zongsheng and Lin Lian’s status in the Chinese music scene is like a monument, and no matter how many years have passed, it is an unavoidable topic.
The number of songs they recommended on Weibo can be counted on one hand, which shows how much they like Jiang Ge's "Ordinary Day".
They debuted for more than 40 years and became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Their fans are not young anymore. They are no longer at the age of staying up late to check Weibo. Some of them focus on their own companies, some are sticking to their original hopes and dreams, some care about the world, and some hope to be gentle and sunny. Obviously, they focus on "working hard to live", but these do not prevent them from paying attention to the idols they once liked.
"It's rare that Sister Lin Lian occasionally updates her recent schedule on Weibo, but Brother Zongsheng's Weibo has not been updated for a long time. The latest one was posted on June 19, 2024."
"Are you recommending songs? Go listen to it later. You must have good taste."
"I checked it online. It's a song from a variety show. I haven't watched variety shows for many years, but you can listen to the song."
"The Lone Brave? The song that Xu Chenyi sang out of the circle? Isn't "An Ordinary Day" Jiang Ge's song?"
"The above, remove the '?', 'won' and 'bar', it's Jiang Ge's song."
"Go listen to it right away. He is one of the few people in the entertainment industry who is making music seriously."
...
In addition to Luo Zongsheng and Lin Lian, there are also national music master Fang Cong, singing god Zhang Liming, evergreen singing queen Cheng Meiqi, etc., who all recommend it on their Weibo. .
Perhaps, life has made those older fans have too little time and mood to listen to the songs of new generation singers, but they have to support the songs recommended by their childhood idols.
In this way, "An Ordinary Day" became popular in a special way.
And music critics like [In the left ear and out the right ear] are quite touched: "It is actually the most difficult to impress people with the simplest things. This is not a utopia of empty ideals, nor is it a groaning of a young man who does not know the taste of sorrow. When you experience more and see more, you will find that the truly beautiful life is not flashy and grand, but an ordinary day that seems to be "wasted" in your life. Ordinary does not mean being passive in the world, nor does it mean being content with mediocrity. Ordinary is perfect, and perfection is ordinary."
Sometimes, we are not afraid of songs being too good, but we are afraid of understanding the meaning of the song.
In the comment section of "An Ordinary Day", everyone is expressing their own comments.
"Every day is brand new. Don't worry about the past or the future. Live in the present, let it go, and work hard!"
"After a long journey to pursue the so-called dream life, I realized that the best life is right beside me. Yes, every ordinary and warm day makes up a complete life."
"One house, two people, three meals, four seasons, the life I yearn for, ordinary and beautiful."
"There are a few moments that took me back to my childhood, those frog calls, cicada chirps, those golden rice fields, gravel paths in the mountains, and those people scattered all over the world."
"Happiness can be of many kinds, and ordinary is the simplest kind. Ordinary days are lived in mediocrity, triviality, and happiness."
"The gentle voice and the unhurried rhythm make people feel comfortable. The older they are, the more they like ordinary things, an ordinary day, a happy day, and a day full of kindness."

This is a song that can calm people's hearts, so gentle that the bottom of their hearts become soft.
For a while, celebrities, artists, fans and passers-by began to recommend this song.
Jiang Ge, the carrier, is checking the feedback from the audience.
After all, people who like Mao Buyi think that his songs are peaceful, full of touchable warmth, and shining with the meaning of life in the narration, while people who don't like him generally think that his songs are vulgar, outdated, and old-fashioned, with mediocre composition and old-fashioned lyrics.
So, let's see whether the audience of Blue Star likes it or not.
When Jiang Ge saw that the positive reviews far outnumbered the negative reviews and there was no polarization of word-of-mouth, he was relieved.
When thinking about how to add fuel to the promotion of this song, he became playful and posted a Weibo with the lyrics of "Ordinary People's Song" by Li Zongsheng and "Love the Country More than the Beauty" by Li Lifen.
——【You and I are both mortals, born in the world, running around all day, never having a moment of leisure. Since we are not immortals, it is inevitable that we have distracting thoughts. Morality is put on the sides, and profit is placed in the middle. Life is short, and we will not stop until we are drunk. My beauty is in the east, and the Yellow River flows in the west. Come on, have a drink, and don’t stop until you are drunk. Don’t worry about your worries. 】
“Damn, isn’t your ambition to be a prodigal son? Why do you suddenly want to come down to earth?”
"An unpredictable man, a charming man."
"Real dog, is that 'ordinary' for you? It's obviously the retirement life of a capital tycoon."
"It's quite interesting. In just one Weibo post, the first half summarizes the living conditions of most people, and the second half describes the heroism a man should have, encouraging people to work hard and move forward."
"Why does it look like the lyrics to me? Are there any that are the same as me?"
"Maybe it's really the lyrics. Doesn't he like to play out of the box?"
…
After Zhou Lingwei saw this Weibo, she stared at Jiang Ge with slightly cold eyes, and said lukewarmly: "Excuse me, who is this beauty from the east?"
Jiang Ge laughed dryly and hurriedly explained: "It's not anyone, it's the lyrics."
Zhou Lingwei didn't speak, and the cold light in her eyes didn't diminish. She obviously didn't accept the answer.
Jiang Ge said seriously: "Really, the lyrics are really real. If you don't believe me, I will sing it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of subtle cunning flashed in Zhou Lingwei's eyes.
——————
This is the fourth song. All the songs that appeared in the variety show "Story of Time" have become popular. This has made those singers who have postponed the release of new songs more determined in their decision-making.
Judging from the upward momentum, there is no problem in catching up with the top three songs.
In the eyes of people outside the industry, Django is too powerful. He can really write any type of song. The scary thing is that whatever he writes becomes popular.
As for the ratings, although "Extreme Challenge" has achieved reverse growth, it still cannot catch up with "The Story of Time".
