318 The tiger is not here, the demons are dancing wildly
In the early morning of the 26th, the crew of "That Mountain That Man That Dog" held a simple script reading meeting and then went directly to the filming location to start filming.
Starting from the hotel, we went to the "father and son's" home, which was a drive and a walk. The journey took about two hours, and we had to walk on a mountainous road.
Fortunately, I have plenty of time,
Take your time, don't rush.
Starting today, Jiang Yan will stay in this mountain for two months.
The shooting time was much faster than expected.
Firstly, it’s because director Huo Jianqi has basically finished shooting the rest of the scenes in the past six months.
Secondly, Jiang Yan, Teng Rujun and Gou are all in better condition than expected.
Not to mention dogs, the "father-son" relationship between Jiang Yan and Teng Rujun was directly in place after half a day of communication and adjustment.
This directly saves the originally planned ten days of adaptation time.
So, it’s so damn cool to work with top actors!
Huo Jianqi sighed.
And this also allows him to better capture the feeling he wants.
The rhythm of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is soothing,
Even relatively static.
It talks more about "state" rather than "change".
There are several iconic plots among them.
The "son" met a beautiful Dong girl. He met her and got to know her. She brought a beautiful longing for love to the "son", but nothing happened between the two and there was no subsequent story.
Another example is the way the "Fifth Wife" in the film opens a letter and listens carefully to the father and son reading it to him, which also gives people a feeling of stillness, like an oil painting.
The movie does not tell the old man's past alone, nor does it explain what her future will be like. There is no dramatic conflict, it just explains the "now".
Another example is "Father" rescuing letters on the Wind and Rain Bridge.
The camera is only explaining that the "father" did this out of instinct and tried his best, but it also makes people feel the fact that the father is old.
Similarly, the movie does not explain whether the "father" recovered all the letters or whether he was punished.
This film is a rare work that is relatively literary, just like a book or a painting.
It can make people put it down and have endless aftertaste.
After reading it several times, you can deeply feel the tenderness between "father and son".
In short, this is a movie suitable for watching slowly, and it is also suitable for shooting slowly.
Huo Jianqi looked at the scenery ahead.
Mountain, father and son, dog.
He smiled slightly, the scroll had been unfolded, and the next thing to do was to slowly fill it up bit by bit.
"Woof woof!"
At this time, the second child ran up to him and screamed a few times.
Huo Jianqi understood at a glance what the dog meant. It was urging him to walk faster.
"Hey, he's quite smart. I don't know how he was trained."
Huo Jianqi smiled, put on his straw hat and continued to move forward.
Jiang Yan began a slow and peaceful film shooting journey in the mountains.
But it didn't calm down outside.
On the contrary, when the news came out that "Jiang Yan has been filming in the mountains for at least two months", the entire Chinese music scene suddenly became lively.
When the tiger is gone, the monkey is king.
Although many people don’t want to admit this, the reality is cruel.
Jiang Yan is a tiger.
"dna2" was released in April and has been wreaking havoc in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, East Asia, and Southeast Asia for four months.
By the end of July, Warner announced that global sales of "dna2" exceeded 5 million, including 3.5 million in Asia and a total of 1.5 million in other continents!
In addition, the global sales of "joey" officially exceeded 10 platinum, and three of the songs set historical records on European and American billboards, reaching the highest number two and staying on the charts for 18 consecutive weeks.
What is such a ruthless person if not a tiger?
But the good news is that Jiang Yan has joined the cast to film a movie and won't be out for at least two months.
This means that Jiang Yan will not appear anywhere in the Chinese music scene in the past two months - although he has never appeared very often.
So a group of record companies and singers started releasing songs in August "according to the plan".
They would never admit that this itinerary had been decided half a year ago in order to avoid Jiang Yan.
And the results also proved that this choice is extremely correct.
So next, various music critics, media and fans saw a Chinese music scene where a hundred flowers bloomed and gods fought.
In 1999, the Chinese music scene seemed to burst out with miraculous power because of Jiang Yan's temporary appearance.
In early August, Wang Jie, known as the king of an era, announced his return and peaceful breakup with Warner Bros. with a nostalgic "Tough Man and Tenderness Super Selection".
So for a while, "Tiehan Tenderness Super Selection" set off a sales frenzy.
It can be said that if Jiang Yan had not appeared, this man would have stood proudly at the top of the pyramid alone.
However, less than a week after him, the hot-tempered Xie Tingfeng, dubbed "Xiangjiang Xiaojiang Yan" by the mainland media, released his first Mandarin album "Thank You for Your Love 1999".
With two major love songs, "Thank You for Your Love 1999" and "Just Live for You One Day", he officially started his first year of popularity.
Besides him, there is another well-known singer of love songs, that is Zhang Xinzhe.
In August, the song "Love is Just One Word" became known to everyone along with the animated movie "Lotus Lantern" and became popular all over the country.
In mid-August, Sun Nan also released his first solo album "Come Back Soon" after signing with BMG Records.
In late August, Mayday also released its "first creative album", of which "Chun Jiao and Zhiming" was widely praised.
At the same time, Lin Zhixuan's divine song "Single Love Song" was finally released. For a time, KTVs everywhere declared their fall.
In late August, Jolin Tsai launched her singing career by releasing her first solo single ep "Being Neighbors with the World".
In addition to these, young singers such as Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe, Yu Quan, Ku Juji, A Niu and others are also gaining momentum.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, there is really not much time they can choose to release songs, because the competition will be more intense in the future.
In September, two queens, Yehenala and Wang Fei, will release a song.
In addition to the queens, Andy and Jacky, the two kings, are also going to have professional careers.
After this, there will be Mo Wenwei's "Suddenly", and then Xiao Yaxuan will be born soon, and the song "The Most Familiar Stranger" will compete with Zhang Baizhi's "Star Language Wish".
But these are just minions. At the end of this year, there is another hell-level song, and that is "Later" by Liu Milk Tea.
In addition to these familiar songs, there are dozens of good songs expected to be released this year, not to mention the bad songs that will be added to the list. This is more than last year combined.
In addition, due to the influence of Jiang Yan's "Chinese style", many singers have also tried to add "Chinese style" songs to their albums.
Some may look different, some may explode, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
So in general, if the first half of 1999 was about Jiang Yan suppressing the major charts, then the second half of 1999 was really about the chaos of the demons.
So everyone can see that the major lists in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China are almost the same every day.
This is also thanks to Jiang Yan. Because of him, the major lists have once again absorbed the advanced experience of Europe and the United States, the methods of list making have become richer, and the data collection has become more scientific and timely.
And the list that changes every day has also made the battle in the Chinese music scene more and more intense.
Singers from all walks of life, today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you. Many times it is impossible to say who is stronger than the other.
And under such fighting conditions, Jiang Yan's songs, which originally firmly dominated the charts, were quickly washed out of the top ten or even the top fifteen.
In fact, this is quite normal. After all, it has been four months since Jiang Yan's latest album was released, and its popularity has already faded by half. Now that the Chinese music scene is exploding, it is normal for it to be dismissed.
But many media don’t care about it.
They are going to do a wave of operations, and the first person in Asia has been removed. What a great topic.
So for a time, all kinds of news about "so-and-so defeated Jiang Yan" and "Jiang Yan was surpassed by so-and-so" emerged one after another.
Those who didn’t know the truth thought that Jiang Yan was about to pass away.
Fortunately, everyone with a discerning eye knows that aside from the objective reasons such as the timing of the song's release, Jiang Yan's status in the music world is transcendent. Others are Chinese singers, but Jiang Yan is an international superstar. This figure is obviously far above the rest.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that a monster has jumped out of the Three Realms, so why does he need to compare with you?
So everyone took it as a joke, and on the Internet, many netizens would make fun of the singers who "defeated" Jiang Yan. The scene was very happy.
However, teasing and the like will not stop those who want to rub Jiang Yan off.
So soon, a group of media saw that there was not much reaction from Warner, so they began to make even more exaggerated reports:
"Jiang Yan was defeated, and the song and TV series suffered a double defeat!"
