Chapter 186 Successful people? It's 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 this drama.
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 has far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The most painful thing is that the local cultural and tourism bureaus have promised four songs in a row, each of which persuades people to go home. "Go Home Often" uses the tone of a parent to persuade people to go home, and the harmonious family can be heard on the spot. Advised.
"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 become numb. Starting from October, every month has been the darkest hour, and the dark clouds have become thicker each time.
The oppressed people were breathless 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 naivety could not be dawned.
In January, "Singing 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.
Official officials even suggested that the song should be widely sung and learned throughout the country, and major official media came out to praise it.
Other people are scared to death when they see the official name being mentioned, for fear that if they accidentally commit something, they will be publicly criticized or even banned.
Where is the 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 is that the program successfully passed the review.
At this time, news came out that the higher-ups held different opinions on this program and thought that the song was fine, but the stage format was not too sensitive.
At this time, a big boss spoke up and silenced everyone by quoting a famous saying: "The people like to hear and see, and you don't like it, no matter who you are, as long as the intention is correct, it is valuable."
Then the show 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, the song "Chengdu" became a hit all over the internet. Everyone thought that 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 a person is established, fans will buy it. Once the persona collapses, fans will 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 continues. Gradually, everyone discovered that there was something wrong with this knight-errant. Someone investigated and found out that this man was actually from a tourism company, specializing in writing travel songs for various cultural and tourism bureaus.
This is totally ruining the 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!
Can't stand it anymore, some people started to resort to petty tricks. Unfortunately, they kicked the iron plate. Yang Haonan's father was really not jealous. He directly dragged a group of bosses into the water. No one dared to mention the label of "migrant worker" .
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.
Musician Xiao Zhang is having a particularly hard time this year. His parents always sing "Go home often, wash the chopsticks and wash the dishes" and then look at him with connotative eyes. He can only remain silent. to wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, I listened to the juniors singing loudly "O unknown 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 shooting off cannons and "going around, going around, going around..."
Xiao Zhang choked speechlessly and found a place. Squatting down and feeling 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.
Singer: Yu Zhou
Lyrics and music: Nuoyan
It's a promise again. Wu Di actually likes this promise. He writes songs in various styles and they are all very nice.
Listen to it, 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 naturally reflect different tastes from ordinary people, such as ballads, which are both stylish and not too excessive. Shoddy.
“Running around under the stars and the moon just for a window,
When you are lost on the road, you can see the lights
Unknowingly, you regard this foreign country as your hometown. ”
Wu Di’s intoxicated expression changed a bit. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he did regard himself as a new man from the capital.
Subconsciously, he also always regarded himself as a new man. He is proud of being a native of Shanghai, and he introduces himself as a native of Shanghai. How can such a remote country be worthy of a "successful person" like him?
Therefore, he rarely goes home and rarely mentions his hometown to others. Whenever this topic is brought up, he will say: "Oh, after living in Shanghai for so many years, I have forgotten my hometown."
< br>“I just occasionally look into the distance when I am sad,
The local accent of the past is quietly hidden,
The unspeakable promise is always assured.”
The music continues , the lyrics truly made Wu Di feel as if he had been stripped naked, which made him uncomfortable.
He has replaced all the local accents with Mandarin, and even recently he has been deliberately learning the Modu dialect.
Wu Di regretted listening to this song, but the melody of the song made him unable to help but continue listening to hear what Yu Zhou was going to sing.
“There are many times when tears are about to flow.
That window is what makes me strong.
The small doorway still has her tenderness,
Give me warmth and be by my side. ”
Looking up at this small house, Wu Di spent all his money to buy the house. He suddenly felt that this window could not make him strong. On the contrary, every time he looked out of the narrow window, there would be An inexplicable bitterness.
The only thing that can really make him strong is the old-fashioned mahogany window.
There are parents waiting for him at the door.
Every sentence. The lyrics are like a knife that is not sharp, but it can peel off his heart bit by bit
"How many people are fascinated by the prosperity that is right in front of them
When you get closer, you realize that it is far beyond the distance of your hometown,
Unknowingly, you regard this foreign country as your hometown,
My hometown has become a foreign land. Only occasionally do you dare to look back.”
Wu Di was struck by lightning, and the prosperity of the city has long made him intoxicated. For more than ten years, he has regarded this place as his hometown. My hometown has become a foreign country.
As the first generation to move from a rural town to the city, Wu Di has been separated from his hometown since the college entrance examination. Only when he misses occasionally does he think of the people and trees in his hometown.
"There is no need to talk about the ups and downs in the past.
People in foreign lands have the same melancholy."
Yu Zhou uses a way of telling, word for word, short but The profound lyrics made Wu Di break his guard a little.
Extremely simple sentences can always inadvertently hit the softest place in his heart, the journey back to his hometown.
"That window is still bright and waiting for me.
I have seen so many mirages.
Let me return to the small door.
Keep me warm by my side.
Give me warmth and stay with me. ”
The song has ended, but Yu Zhou is still the same as before, not showing off his skills, not pretentious, not pretentious, but directly touching on human nature.
Wu Di sighed and said to himself that Yu Zhou was worthy of being called a "people's representative" singer. He was surprised that he, a "successful person, was also impressed."
He packed up I picked up some things, turned down several cooperations, and decided to return home.
"Strangers" are a unique group in China's decades of development. In these decades, a large number of people in China have poured into cities from rural areas. Many people have seized the opportunity and have registered residence in first- and second-tier cities.
The population of first- and second-tier cities has increased dramatically, but most people are not pure indigenous people.
Whether they are lofty "successful people" or ordinary "unknown people", they are all "strangers" working hard in a different place.
These "strangers" need to quickly transform and prove themselves in the new environment before they can take root in the waves.
They work hard to turn strangers into locals. Some people, like Wu Di, regard themselves as locals. Some people still have roots in their hearts. The Spring Festival is the best explanation.
"Mirage", this is the evaluation of the prosperous world in a foreign land in the lyrics, and "returning to the small door" is the answer given.
For most "strangers", hometown has become a symbol that cannot be mentioned easily. It is a place where parents are eagerly waiting for you to return.
The song "Stranger" tore away the pretense of the prosperous world. On this day, countless people like Wu Di who called themselves "successful people" packed their bags and embarked on their way home.
No matter how nice a foreign land is, it is not my hometown after all.
The topic "Stranger" has become a hot search topic.
# Sing "Stranger" to those who are wandering abroad
# The local accent has changed and the hair on the temples has faded, and I ask the guests with a smile where they come from
#Can’t integrate into a foreign land, can’t return to my hometown
#Yuzhou peeked into my life!
