As soon as Yang Ye entered the theater, he became the focus of the audience.
He is popular and has a high status. Today, these people are all here to support him because of his reputation.
Huang Laoxie shouted: "Ah Ye, you have brought so many of us here, do you have any magic films to show us?"
Yang Ye asked the staff to take them The microphone came over and he said to everyone: "Thank you everyone for showing your support today.
I can't say it's a masterpiece, but what I watched today was a relatively rare type of movie, a musical.
You are all giants in the music industry (bò), so please come and enjoy it and give us your opinions! "
Huang Zhan suddenly realized it and said: "In recent years, "The Wrong Ride" seems to be the only one that can be regarded as a musical. I didn't expect that another one will be released now. It's so rare! "
After Yang Ye said these words, he and Guan Zhilin took their seats in the front row. The next step was the normal movie premiere process.
This premiere will also be broadcast on the TV station. Yang Ye spent a lot of money on this movie.
After some interaction, the screening of "Broader Seas and Sky" officially started.
The plot of this movie is different from the original design. It was originally based on "Sewing Machine Band" and the characters in it all corresponded. For example, Wang Fei played the role of Nazha, the bassist of the band.
When revising the script in the later stage, Yang Ye incorporated some elements of "Cape No. 7".
"Sewing Machine Band" and "Cape Seven" are very similar in that they both have a few people getting together to form a band, and there is a concert at the end of the movie.
The composition of the band "Cape No. 7" is similar to that of the Sewing Machine Band. Both have an old man and a little girl.
This guy Dapeng should be "Sewing Machine Band" which is a fusion of the two movies "Sing" and "Cape No. 7".
Wang Fei's role was changed to that of Chie Tanaka in "Cape No. 7".
Mitsuko, played by Chie Tanaka, is a model who came to Taiwan from Japan, but can only do some odd jobs.
In "Boundless Sea and Sky", Wang Fei's name is A Fei. She is a singer who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to pursue her dream. However, she did not realize her dream and could only do some odd jobs in a record company.
The old man in the band was also eliminated, and Xia Shaosheng became a former rock and roll veteran. After being young and frivolous, his dream was shattered and he opened a supermarket to make a living. He was deceived by the protagonist Aju in the movie and was given to him. The band Beyond acts as a sponsor, similar to the character played by Lu Qian in "Sewing Machine Band".
The purpose of doing this is to allow the complete Beyond band to perform at the final concert in the ruins.
However, the plot characters of several movies merge with each other, making it a bit confusing.
Fortunately, director Chen Kexin is very capable. He smoothed the whole story line very smoothly and looked very smooth. The emotional scenes between Ju and Fei were particularly well shot. After all, Chen Kexin is He started out by making romance films.
His "Sweet Sweetness" can be regarded as one of the best romance films in Chinese-language films. However, Lijun Teng is alive and well now, and this film will most likely not appear in this time and space.
The early stage of "Broader Sea and Sky" is relatively dull. The factors that can keep people watching, apart from some funny jokes, are the male protagonist Ah Ju's obsession with music and Ah Fei's vague emotions before.
Waiting until the last twenty minutes, when everyone was betrayed and separated, the bar was demolished, the heroine left, and her ideals were shattered, the explosion finally came.
Beyond reorganized, and among the ruins, the four sons stood on the stage. As the lead singer, Ah Ju sang "Broad Sea and Sky" with a look of despair.
In the previous plot of the movie, this was an unfinished song, with only two lines sung, but the melody was very catchy and aroused the audience's interest at the time.
Now, the full version is finally sung:
Today, I watch the snow drifting by in the cold night, drifting far away with a chilled heart.
Chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the traces in the fog, the sky is vast and the sea is vast, you and I will change.
How many times have I faced cold looks and ridicule, but I have never given up on my ideals.
A moment of trance, a feeling of loss. Unknowingly, the love in my heart has faded away.
......
"Broader Sea and Sky" is a landmark work describing the ten-year journey of the band Beyond.
It originally evolved from a soft piano demo composed by Ka Kui, but turned into the ultimate pop rock style.
There is a long solo section in the song. In this song, Ka Kui vividly expresses the hardships and setbacks he has experienced in the past ten years, the cold ridicule he has suffered, and his inner persistence and yearning.
When the four sons performed this piece in the ruins, the movie screen kept flashing back.
In order to keep the bar and organize a rock concert, scenes of the protagonist Ah Ju being deceived and ridiculed and working several jobs to raise money appeared on the big screen scene after scene.
Those funny jokes at the beginning of the movie that made people laugh and laugh, at this moment, combined with the music of "Broader Sea and Sky", all became tear-jerking bombs.
The core of comedy is tragedy. The things Ah Ju did in the movie looked like a clown, but because he was chasing his own ideals, many viewers felt sad.
Everyone has their own dreams, but chasing dreams is actually very helpless, because not everyone has the time, money and courage to face failure again and again.
But there are still countless people who rush forward without hesitation, hitting their heads and bleeding, failing so much that no one believes they can succeed, and failing so much that even he himself loses confidence.
That deep feeling of powerlessness is vividly displayed in the song "Broad Sea and Sky".
Its melody, a melody that combines vicissitudes of life and passion, seems to be able to gain insight into people's inner world.
Its lyrics, those elements of righteousness and motivation, resonate with the life experiences of many people.
"Forgive me for being uninhibited, indulgent and loving freedom all my life, but I am also afraid that one day I will fall. If I abandon my ideal, anyone can do it. How can I be afraid that one day I will be the only one with you..."
Ah Ju sang here At that time, countless neighbors and rock boys poured in from all directions, holding musical instruments and waving flags.
Suddenly, the deserted ruins turned into a large concert filled with people. The scene instantly became exciting, and Ye Shirong's drumming became more intense.
"Still be free, always sing my songs, travel thousands of miles... forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life..."
The passionate and magnificent scenes in the movie, the indomitable power in the songs , instantly infected countless audiences.
Many people felt the same way, and at this moment they rekindled their passion and their hope for life.
......
Aju started singing the second song, "Lover".
The lyrics of Beyond's song "Lover" are about the difficulties and obstacles encountered by a Hong Konger and a mainlander when they fall in love.
This is why when Yang Ye revised the script, he changed the role of Wang Fei to a girl who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to develop her singing career.
With this change, the song "Lover" seems to be tailor-made for the relationship in the movie.
The audience will naturally feel more emotional when it sounds like it.
The prelude of the song reveals a sense of reluctance, desolation, and lingering sorrow. When Aju sang, he used a confiding tone, as if he was comforting his lover or comforting himself.
It wasn't until the second half of the song "No matter how many years have passed, how many ups and downs have changed, how much love remains the same. How many times I've lamented you in the sea of people", that I finally vented my emotions, as if tears suddenly wet my front when I turned around with a smile.
At the end of the song, accompanied by Aju's whine, he seemed to be drifting away with a smile in his tears, which made many viewers feel sad.
At this moment, the heroine who had already left suddenly appeared at the ruins concert.
It turned out that at the last moment she boarded the plane, she changed her mind and ran back.
Ah Ju was sobbing sadly, and suddenly A Fei's figure was projected on the curtain behind him.
The audience at the concert burst into cheers. Ah Ju reacted, turned around, and saw Ah Fei standing on the edge of the stage, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
Aju put down his guitar, walked over to her, hugged her gently, and said the classic line: "Stay, or I will go with you!"
"Wow!" The concert audience cheered excitedly, and outside the big screen, the audience in the cinema also applauded.
This kind of plot can be regarded as a classic routine in movies. It works every time and always works.
At the end of the movie, the heroine A Fei and rock godfather Xia Shaosheng, who plays the supermarket owner, all joined in and sang "No More Hesitation" together. Not only them, but also Hong Kong's Tai Chi Band, Blue Warrior Band and other large and small bands, all appeared at the ruins concert.
These bands surrounded the stage, surrounding Beyond, Wang Fei and Xia Shaosheng, playing guitars and drums together, and singing loudly:
Boredom sees hesitation, it is not easy to achieve your ideal, even if you have confidence and fighting spirit, it is suppressed.
Who determines whether I go or stay, determines the universe in my heart, I just want to wave to the ideal with both hands.
Ask me how high the sky is, your ambition is higher than the sky, and you will live until you are old with the mentality of being confident that you will not be killed...
In the movie "Sewing Machine Band", both Huang Guanzhong and Yip Sai Wing appeared During the performance of the last song, a wave of emotion was sold out.
The movie "Broader Sea and Sky" uses the same routine, inviting Hong Kong's big and small rock bands and rock singers, whether they are seniors or juniors, famous or underground, all over, and everyone can have fun together .
There were dozens of drum sets and hundreds of guitars, and the camera swept across the scene, making the scene spectacular.
People were surprised to find that Yang Ye also appeared in the movie, holding a guitar and singing happily:
Wohohoho, I have my inner story, and I hand-wrote every gain and loss, happiness and joy. Sadness and Meng'er.
Wohohoho does not shy away from trauma, and dreams of one day realizing the world where he can find his deepest dreams.
Finally visible!
...
Music, ideals, love, and feelings are all realized, a perfect ending!
Most Hong Kong musicians in the 1990s worked their way up from the bottom.
Even a young man like Zhang Guorong has experienced the dilemma of family decline.
Many people can relate to the sadness at the beginning of the movie and the excitement at the end.
After the movie ended, the creative team came on stage to express their thanks. Naturally, all the great people present praised the movie.
For example, Zhou Xingchi said that although this movie is about music, he felt very empathetic when watching it.
And Leslie Cheung expressed dissatisfaction: "Why didn't I sing the last part of "No More Hesitation"? Can it be re-filmed?"
Needless to say, Yang Ye said, after going back tonight , everyone will activate their own connections to help promote the movie.
For someone like Huang Laoxie who has a column in the newspaper, when he comes home at night, there will be a lot of eloquent film reviews, recommending "Broader Sea and Sky"!
...
“It’s raining!”
After the premiere, everyone dispersed, but it started to rain heavily outside.
Yang Ye and Guan Zhilin were about to escape when Zhang Guorong chased after him: "Boss, wait for me!"
Yang Ye turned around and said in surprise: "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Guorong said: "I want to ask you, do you have a dream mentor who is free to help me with my voice!"
Yang Ye was very busy and wanted to refuse, but he glanced behind Zhang Guorong and suddenly He changed his mind and said: "Okay, you will notify me then!"
Zhang Guorong was very happy: "We are friends enough, so I won't disturb you!"
Yang Ye nodded, and Guan Zhilin left.
Zhang Guorong turned around and saw Li Wen standing behind her, looking eagerly towards her.
Zhang Guorong said in surprise: "CoCo, why are you here?"
Li Wei said "ah" and said in a panic: "I saw you, and I followed you!"
Zhang Guorong smiled and said: "It's raining heavily, I'll take you home!"
"Okay, thank you teacher!"
......
"Damn CoCo, where did you go?"
Mok Wenwei looked at the heavy rain outside and stamped his feet angrily.
She went to watch the premiere with Li Wen, but as soon as the premiere ended, Li Wen disappeared.
She looked around and saw no one. Seeing the crowd disperse, she was trapped by the rain and couldn't walk, and she felt very irritable.
At this moment, a newly launched Mercedes-Benz C-Class stopped in front of Mok Wenwei. The window rolled down half way, revealing Zhou Xingchi's face.
Mok Wenwei said in surprise: "Master Xing?"
Zhou Xingchi smiled slightly: "Karen, let me take you home!"
Mok Wenwei was worrying about how to get back, when he heard this He said happily: "Thank you!"
Mok Wenwei got in the car. After Zhou Xingchi asked where he lived, he started the car.
Mo Wenwei is now living in Yang Ji's dormitory. Zhou Xingchi has lived there before, so he is familiar with the roads.
It was raining cold outside the car, but Mok Wenwei was very happy to chat. Because he met his idol, he couldn't help but ask questions.
Zhou Xingchi usually doesn't like to talk, but he still answered her questions seriously.
When he was about to arrive, Zhou Xingchi suddenly stopped the car, opened the door and walked out.
He walked directly to a beggar lying on the ground on the sidewalk, squatted there, and looked at him without saying a word.
Suddenly, Zhou Xingchi took out his wallet, took out the money inside, and started to dig into his pockets again.
He took out all the money he had and stuffed it all into the beggar's arms.
Mok Wenwei was lying on the car window, watching all this, feeling very strange.
She thought of the rumors in the newspapers about Zhou Xingchi's weird temper, and thought: He is really a strange person.
Zhou Xingchi ran back, got in the car, started the car and ran away. He drove a long way before stopping again.
With a "pop" sound, Mok Wenwei saw a drop of tear fall on the steering wheel.
Mok Wenwei looked at Zhou Xingchi with confusion, what on earth was he doing?
“Do you think I’m weird?” Zhou Xingchi wiped his tears.
Mo Wenwei asked: "Do you know him?"
Zhou Xingchi shook his head and said: "If I hadn't gritted my teeth and endured until today, maybe the person lying on the ground was Me!"
After saying this, Zhou Xingchi turned around, smiled at Mo Wenwei, and said, "I'm sorry, I watched that movie today and I was very touched."
< br>
Mo Wen was comforted by the fact that she grew up in a well-off family, so she didn't really feel much about this kind of thing, but to her, the most handsome man was the man who worked hard and got ahead on his own.
She couldn't help but ask: "Did you have a hard life when you were a child?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingchi talked about his miserable life as a child, which was so miserable that Mo Wen comforted him. I couldn't help but want to cry.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xingchi said in a serious tone: "Can you drink some red wine with me? I am most afraid of spending the rainy night alone!"
In just a moment, the King of Comedy walked away That altar that Mo Wenwei could not reach was like a fragile and helpless child, making her want to hold him in her arms and comfort him...
Many years later, Mok Wenwei recalled her relationship with Zhou Xingchi and said: "I couldn't refuse, and I was willing to accompany him on the way home!" (End of Chapter)
