Especially young people in this era are experiencing the booming development of the Internet age. Trends are gradually ingrained in their hearts. A non-mainstream style from Southeast Asia has gradually begun to spread on campus. Young people who are half-understanding of trends
People are beginning to find their own position in this era, trying every means to make themselves unique, trying to keep up with the trend, and be the forefront of the times.
Music, dance, star chasing, clothing, hairstyle...
These things have become part of the trends pursued by young people.
Cantonese songs seem to have become less popular since the turn of the millennium.
With the explosive growth of online music, Mandarin songs have gradually taken over the mainstream, and the once glorious Cantonese songs have begun to decline.
Even though Cantonese creators use their own methods to create new music every year, it is still difficult to conceal the changes of the new generation and the old, and is buried in the rolling tide.
Just when many people have lost hope in Cantonese songs and feel that this is the last product of the music scene in the last century...
"Qian Qian Que Song" and "Song of the Sunset" entered the public eye with incredible gestures, and became crazy popular.
In a video store on the verge of being eliminated.
You can see groups of young people walking in and out everywhere.
They were fans who came to inquire about the "Farewell Concert" album.
However, since various aspects of anti-piracy efforts began to increase, no pirated albums have been leaked.
They are very sorry.
Rich young people bought an MP3 player and spent a few dollars to download a series of songs from the music store owner.
Immediately afterwards, they left the video store.
They wore headphones and walked among the crowd with their hands in their pockets, feeling the sadness in the music. They were immersed in it, shaking their heads and unable to extricate themselves.
They had no idea that a set of cameras were pointed at them, capturing their truest emotions...
"Although "Farewell Concert" is sad, it is also the arrival of a new era..."
"The Queen's influence proves that he is more than just an idol in the 80s and 90s..."
"And Zhou Yang used his actions to prove that Cantonese songs have not declined, but there is a lack of corresponding good songs..."
In front of the camera, Chen Yan lamented this era, and then recorded the grand scene of major video stores. There was a feeling that the era was recovering.
After the shooting, she walked with the staff on the streets and alleys...
The recording device is on...
Faintly, almost everyone's advertising media was playing the melodies of "Song of Thousands of Ques" and "Song of the Sunset".
Chen Yan and the others got on the bus to everyone's surprise...
On the bus, they randomly interviewed a young man holding a bus pole, wearing a gentleman's hat, and carrying a guitar.
"I want to confess to the girl I love. She is in another college in Yanjing. She particularly likes Zhou Yang. I hope I can use this look to surprise her..."
"No need to code, I didn't do anything embarrassing..."
"It would be even better if your program team could be a witness for me!"
The young man seemed very talkative and cheerful. When facing the interview, he was not afraid, but smiled brightly.
Chen Yan brought the program team to follow the young people to the branch college of Yenching University...
It happens to be the moment when the sun sets...
The young man was tuning the guitar with excitement and excitement.
At noon, many students watching the excitement gathered around...
Then, they watched this handsome young man standing downstairs in the dormitory, sending a text message to a girl. Not long after, a girl with short hair poked her head out.
She looked at the boy's appearance in disbelief and covered her mouth.
"Even if thousands of evening stars shine brighter than the moon tonight, they will not be as beautiful as this night, and they will never make me appreciate it more..."
"Qian Qian Que Song" is a melody for parting.
The boys sang emotional songs and yelled at the dormitory upstairs.
The students also followed suit, and even though the dormitory aunt rushed out with a broom, she still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the students watching.
Many people started singing along.
The camera captured this scene perfectly...
……………………
"Mr. Zhou Yang, can we start?"
"Um."
night.
Zhou Yang finished watching the footage taken by Chen Yan.
He saw the young man imitating his appearance and lowering his hat very coolly after singing the song...
He does not feel excited because young people imitate him, nor does he feel honored that he has led a so-called trend.
Instead, I felt suffocated and panicked.
Chen Yan could not hide her excitement!
In fact, she had wanted to interview this young man for a long time. She had always wanted to track this young man since the filming of "Under the Mine", but unfortunately, it was not possible due to various reasons.
Unexpectedly, she finally got her wish today!
"Mr. Zhou Yang, can you talk about your current thoughts? For example, how you feel now..."
"I don't feel anything."
"So, fans and viewers in front of the video, do you have anything to say?"
"Is it a live broadcast?"
"No, it's a recording and will be edited later. It doesn't matter..."
"oh."
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my interview..." Zhou Yang faced the camera and searched for a long time before finally finding this sentence in his mind.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang is so funny. By the way, can you tell me how you felt after the "Farewell Concert" ended? Under what circumstances did you meet Miss Zhong Yanhong?"
"What I met in the hospital and how I felt after the concert... I don't know how to describe it, but it did have a big impact on me."
"What do you mean by influence?"
"The love for a career transcends life..." Zhou Yang paused for a while and finally answered.
"What kind of chance did you have to write a song for Sister Hong?" Chen Yan asked again. "It is rumored that Sister Hong moved the concert forward because of your songs. Facts have proved that these two songs are indeed very good.
Many seniors in the music industry have a premonition that these two songs will become eternal classics in the future, what do you think of this?"
"No one knows what the future will bring..." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Can you tell me about another thing? This matter may involve some privacy..."
"What's up?"
"Well, I just received a question from a netizen on the Internet. There has always been a doubt about you on the Internet. You have never been to Hong Kong Island, and you have never systematically studied Cantonese songs. How did you write Cantonese songs?
?And, there are two songs at once, what is even more exaggerated, two songs..." When this question was asked, Chen Yan looked very excited.
This topic is the most controversial point on the entire Internet!
Not only are many people in the music industry questioning it, but many fans on the Internet are curious about what is going on.
After all, it is really incredible that a person who knows nothing can suddenly write two Cantonese songs out of thin air.
"When I was young, I loved listening to Cantonese songs. Although I couldn't speak Cantonese, I could sing many Cantonese songs... Later, as I listened, pieces of melody and pieces of lyrics appeared in my mind. I put these
The melody formed a score and the lyrics were recorded. This is the birth process of "Song of the Sunset" and "Song of Thousands of Ques"." Zhou Yang said this sentence while facing the camera.
He is not a liar.
But it is impossible for him to say that he comes from another world...
Isn't that crazy?
So, he could only say these words.
"Are these your personal talents? I have interviewed Mr. Wu Zhenhong and Mr. Huang Jiacheng. They said that you can learn everything very quickly and have excellent comprehension ability..."
"I don't know." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"By the way, do you think "Qian Qian Que Song" and "Song of the Sunset" will be the most classic Cantonese songs you have written?"
"I don't know." Zhou Yang continued to shake his head.
"We are very curious about the ten songs you submitted to the entertainment company. There are now four. I heard that one of them is the theme song of "The Grandmaster". Is this true or false?"
"Well, it's true. That song is called "Men Should Improve themselves". I once submitted it to Brother Entertainment..."
"I'm quite curious, which company did you submit to for "Song of the Sunset" and "Song of Thousands of Ques"?
"I have never submitted these two songs."
"That's not included in the ten songs?"
"Well, no." Zhou Yang continued to answer simply and neatly, without deliberately being funny or being mysterious.
"..." After hearing Zhou Yang's answer, Chen Yan widened her eyes and stared at Zhou Yang in disbelief.
……………………
Zhong Yanhong is still unconscious.
There is still an endless stream of people visiting.
Some people come and naturally some people leave.
After Huang Jiacheng took one look at Zhong Yanhong, he left Xiangjiang with the crew and returned to the mainland.
When he came to Xiangjiang Street in Hengdian, he was very satisfied with the buildings of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
When making movies in the past, Huang Jiacheng often didn't have a script. He relied on some messy fake scripts to get rough ideas from the leading actors, and then made a series of edits and adaptations of these ideas...
In other words, he just relies on grinding.
Working while filming often makes the actors miserable.
The investors were all discouraged, so they managed to finish the movie.
"The Grandmaster" is different.
There is a complete script, and he is very satisfied with the script of "The Grandmaster".
There are feelings of family and country, martial arts arena, the collision between the new era and the old era, and martyrs who are working hard for the future...
Everything he wants is available!
Of course, there are imperfections.
If the mainland and Hong Kong Island had not already designated the name "The Grandmaster", he even wanted to adapt the name of "The Grandmaster" into "Once Upon a Time in the World: Men Should Be Strong".
Although there was a complete script, during the filming, the lead actor Huo Yuanjie and others were still so exhausted that they didn't even want to film.
Huang Jiacheng seems to be exploring all possibilities in them, exploring various character possibilities...
September 7th.
While on the set, Huang Jiacheng received a call from a familiar music manager of a Hong Kong and Taiwan production company.
"Director Huang..."
"Um?"
"Director Huang, can you get in touch with Mr. Zhou?"
"able."
"Please help me ask in a roundabout way, has Mr. Zhou submitted a song to our company? Ask him if he has any impression of our company! And when did he submit a song to us?"
"ah?"
"By the way, it's best to ask again if he has submitted manuscripts to other music companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and roughly when he submitted them. We can offer twice the price!"
Huang Jiacheng was stunned.
On the other end of the phone, there were waves of anxious voices.
……………………
neither knows.
The day after Zhou Yang’s exclusive interview video was released.
Many music companies in China are suddenly looking through various letters from the past, and some people are even looking through the trash cans from the past...
