This story may seem ordinary, but it is actually the story of an ordinary couple going through life, separation and death.
It is far less dramatic than Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. What is extraordinary is that the old man still held on to their love for decades after losing his spouse.
The lyrics do not deliberately rhyme, but just state the completeness of a story. The lyrics are literary and fresh, but they bring this seemingly ordinary but extraordinary story deep into the listener's heart.
So this song really touches people's inner needs, because everyone is born lonely, and everyone has a yearning for love in their hearts. The story behind it brings people some spiritual comfort: It turns out that this world And true love.
Especially Jin Xishan, who has listened to it several times, has already burst into tears again, because every time you hear this song, no matter the melody or the lyrics, it will be like a ball of frozen snow, hitting you in the face, cold, hard and cruel. , makes you tremble, but it is also refreshing, straightforward, and tactilely real.
Then my mind will involuntarily think of that lonely back on the dance floor, and then I will drown myself in the music and the cold snow.
Therefore, this song goes beyond singing skills to reach people's hearts, creating a slow utopia. It is affectionate but also self-deprecating, giving up but also seeking, naive but trying to be thorough, struggling but in vain.
At the end of the song, almost everyone was shocked. There was silence for several seconds before it was broken by Shang Tingfang's applause.
She choked up and said: "This song is so well written. People who are keen will want to torture themselves like this, a kind of self-attack. Psychology majors will tell you more about why aggression is vitality." Source. Numb people can just eat and drink. They don’t seem to have much pain or mental torture, but they will always be the object of narrative. This is why no matter how bad the times are, literature and art are still charming, and why life is still beautiful. The hope of beauty.”
Liu Qingshan's answer was somewhat meaningful: "After all, he is a great artist, and his comments are all so literary. But Teacher Shang, what I want to hear is that you can help me point out the shortcomings."
Shang Tingfang's mood was not affected by his semi-ridiculous speech: "There is nothing to correct, because I can't fault it. If I have to say something, there are still many imperfections in the soundtrack. Of course, I know this is just the preliminary version of Mr. Liu. I heard that the full version will be recorded immediately in the station? Is it okay if I want to listen to it?"
"What's wrong with that? It's too late for me to be happy!"
"Tell me your idea first. I'm really anxious to hear the official version!"
So Liu Qingshan simply stated his thoughts again.
Shang Tingfang nodded and turned to Zhang Yuxuan: "Director Zhang, any song can be discarded. This song must be kept, and it is not only good to listen to, regardless of its meaning and the story behind it, it brings people It’s not just sadness and pity, but it shows that there are beautiful things in life!”
"Teacher Shang thinks this song can be popular? Sorry, for a shallow person like me and the responsibility I bear, I can only pay more attention to whether it has the possibility of becoming popular!" Director Zhang said.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand. This song will definitely become popular, and it will explode overnight. The reason is very simple. Its immediate popularity is entirely the result of the right time, place and people. Timing refers to the song itself. , In terms of location, we have the influence of a super platform like our National Television and a communication model like the Spring Festival Gala, and people and people are the ones that resonate with the collective. The three are indispensable."
"Since Teacher Shang is also optimistic about this song, I think we should complete the recording as soon as possible!"
Shang Tingfang did not answer immediately, but looked at Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me more about your thoughts and the derived pictures in your mind?"
Liu Qingshan said: "This song is essentially a song of mourning, so I won't say much about this part. My own reference standard is actually the performance effect. It depends on whether the feeling and emotional expression of my performance are warm, and it depends on the audience. level of empathy, and slowly figured out an expressive song based on the scene. Therefore, this new song is biased towards live performance, with a large component of instrumental music. Furthermore, it is to combine the live performance with the
The performance, lighting, and stage design of the venue have been upgraded to include some musical theater styles. As for the recorded version, I don’t have high requirements. Let’s talk about the arrangement first! "
"'The Evening Star is like your eyes killing people and setting fire to the lyrics. I also think it is necessary to revise it."
"Then change it, but the recorded version will not be changed. I still have my own insistence."
"The influence of the recorded version is secondary. Since you insist, I won't say anything more." Shang Tingfang immediately ordered Zuo Hong, "Go and prepare. Remember Mr. Liu's request, don't find a professional singer. In addition, Let’s find the band from our channel together!”
By the time everyone arrived at the recording studio in the annex, it was already packed with people.
Fortunately, this recording studio is like a regular recording studio outside. It is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside. The area, scale, and equipment are no less than the latter. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "studio".
The internal employees Zuo Hong found were all young girls, and each of them had a strong youthful aura. However, after seeing Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan come in, they all looked a little timid and did not dare to step forward, but the excitement in their eyes was clear at a glance. .
Zuo Hong explained to Jin Xishan in a low voice: "These girls are all newcomers or interns in our station. Basically, they have not received professional training, but their voices are not bad, at least the pitch is very accurate."
Jin Xi Shanzai sighed: "No wonder Teacher Shang asked you to be an assistant. Their abilities have been verified in such a short period of time. This work efficiency is really high!"
Zuo Hong didn't hide it, "It's only been half an hour. Even though I was cut into several pieces, I still don't have much ability. It's the band members of our channel who are helping. These people are all professional musicians, and some even I have won national awards, but of course they are not prestigious awards.”
"They were also the accompaniment for Shanzi's performance in the Spring Festival Gala?"
"This is what Director Zhang meant. After all, your legend band in the snowy area still has to accompany you and Yao Beina. If they appear again, it will seem that Tangtang National Television lacks talents!"
"Hahaha, I understand, just let them come on stage."
"Would you like to go over and say hello to them? I know these guys very well, and many of them are your fans!"
"Shanzi has passed, let me talk to the children first!"
Seeing Jin Xishan walking towards him, the girls who were whispering to each other immediately became quiet, with little stars in their eyes.
"I don't need to introduce myself, right? Thank you for your help. Although there is no appearance fee, I still have money to treat you to a meal after the recording is over!"
The girls became much more active in the blink of an eye. After all, the enthusiasm and initiative shown by Jin Xishan made them feel more friendly and less distanced.
While they were chatting together, Liu Qingshan was also chatting happily with the band members.
Through his communication, I learned that this band's personal professional ability is not much worse than that of Legend, but its experience and ability in arrangement are much worse.
After all, the band's daily job is to serve as live accompaniment for various programs, and they are official employees of the National Television. They don't have many outings outside of work, so the work pressure is much less.
However, these people are still easy to get along with, probably because they were recruited just after graduating from music schools, and many of them still retain the innocence and childishness of their student days.
So they quickly chatted and laughed with Liu Qingshan, and integrated into each other quickly.
But as soon as the melody came out on the phone, the laughter of the two groups of people quickly disappeared. In addition, someone was describing the story behind the song, and many people's eyes immediately became wet.
The girls in particular were more emotionally fragile, and choked sounds could be heard before the singing ended.
Director Zhang, who was hiding in the distance and observing secretly, was standing with Shang Tingfang: "As expected, this song is really easy to make people emotional!"
Shang Tingfang chuckled: "Let me just say, this song will definitely become popular overnight, and our Spring Festival Gala this year will be remembered by more people because of this song. Of course, this statement is exaggerated. But earning a good reputation should
There should be no problem. "
Zhang Yuxuan nodded in agreement: "As well as the ratings that night, don't forget when Mr. Liu's songs lost traffic? This year's Spring Festival Gala included five of his works. This in itself means that the ratings have increased. If one or two songs are firmly remembered by people, our National Television Spring Festival Gala really owes a lot to him!"
"I heard that he will also participate in Uncle Ben Shan's sketch, can you tell me a little bit in advance?"
"That's not possible. Before the skit comes to our station for rehearsal, it is bound by a contract. Even you can't reveal it. But what I can tell you is that the author of the skit is Mr. Liu."
"Holy shit!" Artist Shang was so shocked that he cursed, "Is the information reliable? It couldn't be a collaboration between him and Uncle Benshan, right?"
"It is his independent creation, and it was Uncle Benshan who came to ask for it. I had doubts about it at first, but after hearing the work, I was almost shocked. The writing is really good, and it is very suitable for this year. "
"This year? Olympic year?"
"I don't dare to say more. In fact, it's easy to understand if you think about it. Mr. Liu's scripts have always been in demand around the world. He has the ability to complete such a large work. A small comedy sketch is not something he can hold in his hands. Grip?"
"That being said, it's a cross-border trade after all!"
"That's because you haven't heard of his cross talk works, especially the feature-length stand-up "Guo Xiyou". I've been listening to it for two years and I still can't bear to delete it on my phone!"
