At Nortel, after class, Chen Zihan and Jiang Qinqin went to the cafeteria together.
Nortel encourages students to go out to film. Although Chen Zihan and Jiang Qinqin are sophomore students at Nortel, they have already participated in several TV series before.
She even played the leading role.
However, most of today's actors don't have the same heavy baggage as later generations, and they won't play supporting roles instead of leading roles.
After all, the opportunity to film is rare, and they will try it if they have the chance.
They talked and laughed along the way, and what they talked about the most was a TV series called "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasties", in which they both participated, although they didn't have many roles in the drama.
Suddenly a female classmate caught up with them and started asking gossipingly: "How did you feel about participating in the MV of the singer named Liu Hao? Is he as handsome as the MV..."
"Pretty much, he's a very sunny boy," Chen Zihan replied with a smile, "As for the feeling of participating in the MV, I don't really feel much at all. I feel like it's a clichéd campus crush story, like a shadow.
, it’s very simple and has no plot, and I finished it in half a day.
However, that song is very cheerful and interesting, and it feels a little different from the two songs Liu Hao released before..."
"Oh, what's the difference?" the female classmate asked curiously. She liked both songs released by Liu Hao very much, and she was considered a fan of Liu Hao.
"I can't tell. If you're so interested, just buy a copy and listen to it after his album is released online. It won't be a few days anyway."
Chen Zihan pushed Jiang Qinqin and said with a smile: "The "Fairy Tale" music video script that Qinqin participated in was much more complete than mine. She acted for several days, and I heard there was a kiss scene...
"
"Really?" The female classmate quickly held Jiang Qinqin's arm, "Come and tell me in detail, how do you feel? I'm very curious..."
Jiang Qinqin's face turned red and he concealed it: "There's nothing to say, and I don't have any feelings. After all, acting in music videos is not as good as acting in movies and TV shows..."
A movie was playing on the TV in the cafeteria, and several students were watching it with interest.
The female classmate suddenly remembered something. She stood up and quickly grabbed the remote control. She didn't care about the classmates who were watching the movie. She changed the channel and shouted: "I don't know how many times I have played this movie. It's so good."
Well, you're not tired of it and we are all tired of it, why don't we all listen to music together."
Speaking selfishly, I changed to the music station. The song playing on the music station at this time was "Understanding You" sung by mainland singer Man Wenjun.
This song was actually released as early as 1994 and was an interlude in the movie "Nine Fragrances".
This song was well received at the time, but it did not become a hit. However, as the singer Man Wenjun participated in the Qingge Competition and sang this song, his ranking became higher and higher.
This song finally started to become popular, and the on-demand rate on radio and television stations was rising steadily. It even surpassed Liu Hao's two advertising songs on the music charts.
There were many people in the cafeteria who liked this song. They watched the MV and listened carefully. When it ended, they seemed a little unfinished.
The next song is Liu Hao's newly released song "Lonely Sandbank Cold".
"The title of this song is so poetic," the female classmate yelled.
"The title of this song may be taken from Su Shi's lyrics..." Jiang Qinqin explained with a well-informed explanation.
"Then he is really talented..." When the female classmate saw that the lyricist was brother Liu Hao, she immediately shut up and watched the MV carefully to appreciate it.
At the beginning of the MV, the camera focuses on an unopened bottle of Wahaha mineral water. The light from the window shines brightly. The camera slowly rotates and becomes darker and darker. Through the reflection of the mineral water bottle, one can vaguely see someone lying on the bed in the dim ward.
on, looking at the mineral water bottle with a smile on his face.
The entire ward was almost silent, except for the gentle rising and falling breathing sounds and the fluctuating sound of the electrocardiogram.
"This MV actually has the texture of a movie?" Jiang Qinqin exclaimed. She had watched Liu Hao's first two commercial song MVs. Although they were not bad, the quality of this song's MV was obviously much better than those two.
Of course, it doesn’t matter how much money was spent on this song MV and how much effort was put into it. Brother Liu Hao worked hard to shoot every scene. He even didn’t have enough money to save the MVs for the first two advertising songs.
The money was "misappropriated" for this song, but in the end it was not enough, so we asked Wahaha to increase the budget.
The production cost of just a few minutes of music video production for this song alone exceeds 150,000 yuan, which is almost the top level of music video production in mainland China.
Fortunately, the production cost of the MV was borne by Wahaha, otherwise the MV for one song would have almost used up the production cost of the entire album MV, and Liu Hao would have vomited blood.
Chen Zihan on the side just nodded slightly without saying anything, his eyes and attention were still on the MV.
The camera focuses on the Wahaha mineral water bottle and continues to rotate, from dark to bright. The camera slowly expands from focus to panoramic view. In the large and empty room, only a disheveled woman is seen leaning against the wall.
The Wahaha mineral water bottle that the camera just focused on is tightly held in one hand. The ground beside it is full of swaying wine bottles and crumpled paper balls. The camera moves up and focuses on her face. The sunlight outside the window shines on her face.
On her face, through the messy hair, you can clearly see her red face shaking from time to time, showing pain and loneliness.
"Is this Yu Feihong, Teacher Yu?" Some students recognized the actress as Yu Feihong, who briefly stayed at the school to teach after graduating from Beidian.
But if he didn't study abroad, they were also very curious as to how he could participate in Liu Hao's song MV.
The prelude of the song began to sound, and the "dang, dang, dang, dang..." several cold notes of the sitar only hit people's hearts. It was as if she could hear the sadness in her heart in the shock.
"My heart has been haggard since you left.
White tung trees are flying in the wind..."
As the song sounds, the MV begins with the parting of a pair of lovers.
"Yu Feihong" dragged her suitcase and walked away resolutely without looking back. Only the deformation of the mineral water bottle she clenched in her hand revealed her inner struggle.
Ad placement is everywhere.
The camera moves and rotates from behind the man to in front of him, allowing people to see the man's appearance clearly.
"It turns out to be Liu Hao?" Jiang Qinqin looked surprised. He had a beard-like stubble in the MV, messy gray hair, and a haggard and somewhat defeated look, making him look like a hesitant literary young man.
For a while, it was hard to connect with that sunny and clean boy.
"His sacrifice is really great," Chen Zihan on the side said with emotion, because in the previous two songs, Liu Hao's appearance was obviously in the style of youth idol pop.
However, Liu Hao's appearance brings him and Yu Feihong closer in age, making them look more suitable.
In the MV, Liu Hao's reluctant eyes were filled with disappointment, and the bitter smile raised at the corner of his mouth revealed a sense of helplessness. He sighed, lowered his head, and turned to leave.
“Good acting!”
The two loving figures drifted away.
After parting, Liu Hao walked lonely in the room, occasionally leaning against the corner and playing guitar and singing, recalling the sweet love between the two.
In the black and white picture, the two fell in love over a bottle of mineral water. She, who has always been mature and dignified, began to act like a little girl in front of Liu Hao, jumping on Liu Hao's back childishly and covering his eyes.
We go shopping and eat with him, splash water and play with him, etc.
The warm and happy memories are short-lived and gradually fragmented. The picture turns into color, and I look at the picture of Yu Feihong alone, depressed and struggling.
"I closed my eyes and didn't dare to look back.
Still picking up all the cold branches and refusing to rest
Smiling and regretting
Who should I miss on the lonely sandbank..."
At the beginning of the second time, the two people sat at opposite ends of the room with their backs to each other, neither paying attention to the other. The messy and broken things in the middle proved that they had had a big quarrel before.
In the MV, Yu Feihong shed tears silently until someone slowly approached, squatted in front of her, stretched out his hand and wiped her face gently.
Yu Feihong just looked at Liu Hao's face, stopped crying, looked at him with pity, and was so moved that he couldn't help but peck him.
One, two, three, gradually turned into a passionate kiss, slowly immersed in the water bottle.
The next day, Yu Feihong woke up on a messy bed and looked at the ceiling with distracted eyes. The camera shifted to reveal that in the corner of the room, Liu Hao was silently packing her luggage.
The plane flying into the distance in the sky indicates that it is far away. Yu Feihong dragged his luggage and walked on the road. He met no other people along the way, only her lonely figure.
The door was opened, illuminating the doorway of the room. Everything was so familiar, but there was no familiar person. A slender hand stroked the raindrops in the room, and slowly walked into the darkness of the room as the song ended.
at.
At the end of the MV, several more scenes flashed back in the darkness, including Yu Feihong's panic when he saw the medical record, and also when Liu Hao was lying in a coma on the hospital bed, someone placed a hand on the bedside that once belonged to him.
The bottle of mineral water given to her. In the end, she sat alone in the corner, drinking wine and painfully recalling the past.
Correspondingly.
After the mv was played, the entire cafeteria fell into a deathly silence. Loneliness and sadness appeared on everyone's face, more or less.
The combination of beautiful movie-level images, simple yet sad and touching love, and this new love song that incorporates Chinese culture and Sita style clearly exerts the effect of one plus one is greater than two, and it all touches people's heartstrings.
.
Maybe they have passed the sad age of 17 or 18 and have gradually realized the cruelty of society, but this song still brings back the beautiful memories in their hearts.
Or there is still the struggling love.
Remembering and feeling sad.
Jiang Qinqin pulled Chen Zihan and left the cafeteria silently. Her heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife, and her sadness was still lingering.
I still want to listen to this song again.
The song "Lonely Sandbank Cold" was paired with the music video, and its reputation quickly spread among young listeners, and it became popular in a very short period of time.
The number of calls on the radio station is rising steadily, especially in the dead of night, there will always be lonely people calling the radio station to request this song, and sometimes they will talk about their past love.
It soon topped the music charts, beating out a number of songs including "Understand You", and began to dominate the music charts for a long time.
