They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 587 I bought a movie ticket for this song (two-in-one)

of course not!

On September 18th, on this anniversary when we need to remember history and remember national humiliation, Mumu Film and Television and the crew of "Once Upon a Time in China: Top Gun" teamed up with the old Hong Kong singer Lin Jiaxian and the famous mainland singer Liao Peishan to launch The theme song of the movie "Men Should Be Strong".

Lin Jiaxian and Liao Peishan are both top male pop singers known as "iron lungs". Their wide vocal range and magnificent aura are unmatched by many male singers, even high-pitched male singers. Even though they are no longer as active as young people now, around the end of the last century, they once dominated the music scene in Hong Kong and the mainland and were very popular!
This time, Yang Yi couldn't let Ma Shiqing sing for "Men Should Be Strong". He couldn't handle this style of song, and many singers he found later didn't quite meet his expectations. Finally, through the introduction of others, Yang Yicai invited Lin Jiaxian and Liao Peishan to sing the Cantonese and Mandarin versions of "Men Should Be Strong" respectively.

Along with the song, there is also a clip of Huang Feihong, played by Yang Yi, leading a group of men from the Guangdong militia to run and practice boxing on the beach in the morning sun as the MV.

When this song was first released, it was actually not very popular. Except for the more active fans who clicked in to watch it, most netizens thought it was an ordinary movie promotion song and not worth watching.

Some netizens even noticed it and didn't even look at it. They frowned and muttered to their colleagues: "Is this Yang Yi crazy about money? I don't care what day it is, he's going to take advantage of this kind of heat!"

Not just private murmurs, there were many such controversial voices in the comment area at the beginning.

However, these controversies were soon drowned out by the praise of netizens who had seen the video!

"Who said this is just to gain popularity? It's obviously a song that fits the occasion. A man must be brave and self-reliant, and vow to be the pillar of the country! We all stand up, and no one will dare to bully us, China!"

The opening scene shows the tide lapping at the coast. The sound of drumming coming from the headphones cheers up Guan Zhengsi. Then the appearance of pipa, suona and other musical instruments makes Guan Zhengsi want to stop the chopstick barrage. impulse.

At the same time, Lin Jiaxian's high-pitched and rich singing voice also reached Guan Zhengsi's ears.

"Hey, no, this is not a video from Xiaobo Station."

Although Guan Zhengsi said that he planned to listen to both versions of the song, he was born and raised in Guangdong Province after all, and he speaks Cantonese. He felt more at ease listening to Lin Jiaxian's singing.

When Guan Zhengsi clicked to watch, his phone was on mute. He couldn't hear the sound of the video being played, and he had no interest in watching the video for the time being. So, with a flick of his finger, he scrolled through the comments section to see what everyone said.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Guan Zhengsi came across this hot search when he went to eat after get off work at noon.

Guan Zhengsi continued to eat, and he remembered that what he was watching was a micro broadcast, not a small website, and he couldn't put in coins.

"Dagu, pipa, suona... OK, OK! They are all our traditional musical instruments in China! For this, you can take my coins!"

However, now that I have read a few top-ranked comments, Guan Zhengsi has gradually become more meticulous.

What song? What makes them feel so passionate?
Moreover, there are actually Cantonese and Mandarin versions, and the comment area was actually divided into two groups. They argued endlessly over which version was better.

Hot blood is better than red sunlight."

"The Mandarin version is just as good. Liao Peishan has sung many military songs before. His voice is full of sonorous passion that only military personnel can have. Listening to it, it feels like the bugle is calling, and people can't help but want to follow and fight the enemy bravely. !”

At this time, the popularity of "Men Should Improve themselves" is slowly rising. Although it is still at the bottom of the hot search list, the rise has not stopped at all.

"As a trivia fact, a man should strive for self-improvement. This sentence is taken from a poem called "Prodigy Poetry" in the Northern Song Dynasty. The full text is: 'Being a farmer in the morning, ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening. A general has no seed, and a man should strive for self-improvement.' The original poem is mainly about Encourage children from poor families to study hard. If they study well, they can become princes, generals and ministers. The extended meaning here is to be patriotic and serve the country. It encourages us to be good-blooded men who protect our country and our country, and it is also very good to be the pillars of building the country!"

"Who dares to believe it! I was actually moved by an OST. Listening to it in broad daylight made my blood boil and my eyes filled with tears! I highly recommend the Amway Cantonese version to everyone. Lin Jiaxian actually came out to sing this song. I was so excited that my scalp was numb. The version he sang has a stronger aura!”

Guan Zhengsi froze immediately, his eyes widened like bells, staring at the phone in wonder, he even forgot to open his mouth when he brought the chopsticks to his chin.

After the tide, rising sun, and picturesque scenes passed by, the scene of Yang Yi wearing a robe and leading a group of hundreds of shirtless men to exercise on the beach also appeared in Guan Zhengsi's eyes.

"Arrogance laughs at thousands of waves,

"Damn, this song is awesome!"

"Children only do multiple-choice questions. I want to listen to them and see what's going on!"

Guan Zhengsi took out the wireless earphones from his pocket and put them into his ears. Then he turned his phone sideways and leaned it against the spice jar in front of the plate so that he could eat and watch the video at the same time.

Now he is amazed not because of Lin Jiaxian, but because of the melody and lyrics of this song!
The melody is quite catchy and uses traditional instruments, but it’s not like the old-style songs that are popular on the short video platform and sell dog meat with sheep’s heads. It’s really antique and makes people feel like they’ve traveled back in time to an ancient military camp. !
Especially watching the scene of Huang Feihong, played by Yang Yi, leading the militia soldiers to practice boxing, and listening to the lyrics that are neatly matched and are the same as ancient poems!

Internet celebrity ancient songs also like to borrow ancient poetry, or imitate ancient poetry to fill in the lyrics, but their poetry sounds very fake, lacking the charm of real ancient poetry, and the emotional content is also far-fetched, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Confused and totally confused.

"Men Should Be Strong" is different. It has the feel of poetry, as well as fragments of modern pop songs, and some vernacular lyrics interspersed in it, but these do not affect its simple charm, because Guan Zhengsi related to his appreciation of "Once Upon a Time" "My understanding of this character means that the background of this song is probably the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

People at that time were still full of knowledge, but a wave of vernacular writing had gradually begun!

Of course, the lyrics for this song could not have been written at that time. Guan Zhengsi just felt that the lyricist for this song was a genius, and he imitated the feeling of that era!
Coupled with Lin Jiaxian's passionate singing, Guan Zhengsi seems to have opened a door to the era of Huang Feihong.

"what!"

It seems that there is a group of capable young people bursting with passion in my ears, and the singing is even more heart-stirring!
"Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me,
To create the world,
Go for my ideal,

Look at the tall and strong blue waves,
Look again at the vast and majestic blue sky,
Since you are a man, you should strengthen yourself.

Stand tall and hold your chest high, and everyone will be the pillars.
Be a good man,
Use my hundred points to heat it up,
Shine your light and be a good man,
Hot blood, hot intestines,
Warm up red sun.”

After listening to the Cantonese version, Guan Zhengsi was reluctant to click on the next Mandarin version of the video.

Because he was still immersed in Lin Jiaxian's magnificent singing just now, and he couldn't let it go for a long time!

"No wonder so many people say it sounds good! It really sounds good. How many years have I not heard such a high-level Cantonese song? And the taste is so authentic, it has the same feeling as those Cantonese songs in Hong Kong cities in the 1980s and 1990s!"

After Guan Zhengsi tasted it carefully, he understood why he couldn't put it down.

Of course, it’s not just that it resembles the flavor of the prosperous era of Cantonese songs that Guan Zhengsi liked. The lyrics, melody, and movie story background of this song also made Guan Zhengsi obsessed.

"Huang Feihong is from Foshan, and it couldn't be more correct to use such a Cantonese song to praise him!"

"Huang Feihong can indeed be called the pillar of the country. Although he did not really become an official and work for the Qing Dynasty, he was highly skilled in martial arts and was hired to coach the navy and militia, cultivating talents to protect the country."

"His medical skills are also first-rate. Bao Zhilin is famous because his medical skills and ethics have been recognized by the people!"

"If China, which was sleeping at that time, and the Chinese people who were confused and ignorant, could work hard like Huang Feihong, know their shame and then be brave, and unite as one, China would not be bullied so miserably!"

"Today is the anniversary of September 18th, and this song came out very well! So many years have passed, and life has been so good. I wonder if many people have forgotten that our country once went through a period of being bullied. history, use this song to wake them up! We should strengthen ourselves!”

"By the way, this song is the theme song of Yang Yi's movie Once Upon a Time. What's the name of the movie? "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun". Because of this song, I should go to the cinema to watch it. Ah! Yang Yi’s movie should be good!”

Guan Zhengsi's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he immediately picked up his mobile phone from the table of the venue and opened the applet of the movie ticket purchasing platform.

He had not planned to watch Yang Yi's movie before because he wanted to watch Rong Xin's movie more. He had already bought the movie tickets for "Absurd Space Station".

"Hey, the tickets for many shows have actually been sold out. This show is okay. It's almost connected. After watching "Absurd Space Station", go out to have something to eat, and then continue watching." Guan Zhengsi was very decisive and quickly stopped. I chose a single seat and bought a movie ticket for "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun".

After buying the tickets, Guan Zhengsi turned back to the Weibo interface. He still had a Mandarin version of the song video that he had not watched.

"Hey, the tune of the song "Men Should Be Strong" is the ancient song "General's Order"! I wonder why it tastes so authentic!"

When Guan Zhengsi was watching the Mandarin version of the MV for "Men Should Be Strong", because he was more focused, he also saw some details that he had ignored before.

The tune of the song "Men Should Be Strong" is indeed adapted from the ancient song "General's Order", and the lyrics were filled in by the genius Mr. Huang Zhan. Yang Yi could not invent Mr. Huang Zhan as the lyricist, but they There is also the ancient song "General's Order" in this world, so he simply kept the composer information.

"Who wrote the lyrics? Hey! Yang Yi! Yang Yi is so versatile! He can write scripts and lyrics! If he can sing, then he's a Sanqi artist!" Guan Zhengsi's eyes moved down and he saw Yang Yi His name also appeared on it, and he immediately burst into admiration.

"Wait a minute, who filled in the words for the Cantonese version?"

Guan Zhengsi is not surprised that Yang Yi is the lyricist of the song. Because there were several popular songs from movies and TV series before, the lyrics were written by Yang Yi, and they were frequently on the hot search list. Guan Zhengsi had already watched them several times.

However, he was more interested in the author of the Cantonese version of the lyrics.

To be able to write Cantonese lyrics so well, is it possible that some great talent in Hong Kong City has made a comeback?

Although they are said to be talented people, in fact, those whom Guan Zhengsi refers to are all older generation lyricists in their seventies and eighties. They have created very brilliant achievements for Hong Kong music. Only they can write "ancient style" that best suits the Cantonese context. "song!
But many of these people have passed away, and those who are still alive have probably fallen from the peak of their creations long ago. It is difficult for them to produce any more masterpieces. Guan Zheng never thought that anyone could write a song like "Men Should Be Strong".

"Yang Yi?"

Guan Zhengsi directly cut the video back to the Cantonese version of "Men Should Be Strong". When he saw the opening subtitles, he was stunned.

"No, isn't Director Yang from the Northeast?"

Guan Zhengsi felt that his CPU was a bit dry-burned.

How could a Northeasterner write a Cantonese song, and it was not an ordinary Cantonese song? In Guan Zhengsi’s opinion, it was a good song that could have dominated the charts during the heyday of the Hong Kong music scene!

He couldn't figure it out by himself, but taking a look at the comment area, he saw that someone had already asked the same question as him, and there were many replies that could be used for reference.

"Yang Yi speaks Cantonese! Have you forgotten? Didn't Yang Yi shoot the short film "Big Buddha" in Cantonese? If he didn't understand Cantonese, how could he write a Cantonese script?"

"Director Yang is a language genius. Do you know it now? He said in a previous interview that when he was filming "The Hidden Corner" in Zhanjiang, he learned Cantonese from the locals and soon became fluent in it. , the locals can’t tell the difference.”

"Haha, not only Cantonese, he also made extraordinary progress in learning English. When he went to accept the Oscar before, he failed to express his gratitude. Later, when he was filming "Saw", he was communicating with foreigners in the documentary. With his English skills, I doubt he was born in a foreign country.”

Seeing this, Guan Zhengsi was immediately relieved.

That’s it, you’re a language genius! There is indeed nothing to question.

He can write scripts and make movies in Cantonese. Are you still worried that he can't write lyrics well?
"I'll listen to the Cantonese version later, and listen to the Mandarin version first."
