China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 531 The first person to output Chinese songs

On the morning of March 3, Wang Zhonglei was arranging a publicity plan, and wanted to take advantage of Wolverine's popularity as Cheng Long said before, when he saw his secretary walking in with a laptop and said: "Mr. Wang, Wolverine released a 29-minute trailer, the quality... the quality is very good."

Hearing the secretary's words, Wang Zhonglei felt irritable in his heart. He wanted to curse and vent his emotions, but he still held back.

He took the laptop handed over by his secretary. On the computer page was the trailer for Wolverine. Wang Zhonglei clicked play.

The picture is dark and humid, the camera is a little shaken, the sound of breathing, footsteps, and suppressed crying are mixed together, which is heart-wrenching.

A child was running painfully in the jungle.

His body was covered in blood, and his face had a look of pain and remorse.

As the boy ran, a melody composed of piano and flute sounded. Even though the sound effect of the laptop was relatively poor, Wang Zhonglei still felt an inexplicable surge of emotion after hearing the melody.

The prelude of this song is both dark and withdrawn, but also a bit stubborn and passionate, giving people very complicated feelings.

The boy ran, bone spurs grew on his hands, and he grew bigger. Wolverine, played by Zhang Nanyi, appeared in the screen.

Zhang Nanyi's singing also started to sound after the adult version of Wolverine appeared.

"Everything is brave, the wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made~"

"You don't have to hide it, you're a worn-out doll, your mask, your self~"

"They say, take the light and tame every monster."

"They say get your wounds stitched up, no one loves clowns."

The theme song Zhang Nanyi chose for Wolverine is "The Lonely Warrior". This song has been criticized by some so-called professionals, saying it is too mediocre, the lyrics are too awkward, and the arrangement is average.

But the reason why this song is so popular is because it has enough middle-class and passionate. At any time, hot-blooded and middle-class are one of the eternal themes of popular works.

Everyone needs to find some passion to ignite emotions in the boring and ordinary life.

The lyrics of the song "Lonely Warrior" describe the situation of the sisters Jinx and Vi, the protagonists of "Battle of Two Cities".

They were born at the bottom, and their growth was accompanied by crime and struggle. They are atypical heroes who live in darkness and yearn for the light.

In fact, the song "Lonely Warrior" is also very suitable for Wolverine.

As one of Marvel's most tragic superheroes, Wolverine killed his biological father when he was a child, and then turned against his own brother.

In order to protect everyone, he had to kill his lover "Qin" with his own hands.

Later, his Japanese wife was killed again, and his son was also trained as a villain, seeking revenge against him.

This kind of tragic experience is really not comparable to that of ordinary protagonists.

Wolverine's experience fits the description of the lyrics of "The Lonely Warrior" very well.

Moreover, the reason why Wolverine is so popular is that he is Marvel's most anti-mainstream and anti-authority character, and he is also an atypical superhero, which fits well with the passionate spirit of the song Lone Warrior.

If you sing the song "Lonely Brave Man" alone, many people will think it is a children's song, but if you put it into specific characters and stories, it will have a strong ability to stir up emotions.

The most touching thing about film and television songs is always the emotional resonance.

In the trailer, various scenes of Wolverine's life experience are edited, which are perfectly combined with the lyrics.

“Forehead wounds,” “worn dolls,” “masks, monsters,” and “wounds and clowns.”

As the song progresses, Wolverine's character gradually becomes extremely full.

I am a lonely and courageous person who has been bullied and tortured and not accepted by the mainstream!

I am Wolverine, a lone wolf from the north. Even if I wallow in the quagmire, my heroic will can still not be erased!

"I love you walking alone in a dark alley, I love the way you don't kneel

……

go? Is it worthy? This tattered cloak;

war?War!With the humblest dream!

To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night, who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes~"

Zhang Nanyi not only made more detailed arrangements and adaptations of the song "Lonely Warriors" to make the song more passionate, but also adopted the singing style and rhythm from Zu Ya Naxi, a music broadcaster in her previous life. Version.

The way he sings the Lonely Warrior is based on the character of Wolverine Logan. It seems to be Wolverine's own roar, which triggers stronger emotional resonance!

When Wang Zhonglei saw this trailer, he felt very complicated. On the one hand, he was also infected by the emotion of the song, imagining that he was like Wolverine, a perseverant lone warrior. On the other hand, his heart felt cold. The better the quality of Wolverine, the better his kung fu. The king is more dangerous.

"They say that quitting your madness is like wiping off dirt~

They say you have to go up the stairs, and the price is to bow your head..."

The trailer continued to play, and Wolverine's character was completely established, especially at the end of the trailer, when the singing stopped and Wolverine stood on a beautiful hillside.

The little girl played by Song Zuer asked: "Logan, does it hurt every time your claws stick out from the flesh?"

Logan smiled and replied: "Of course it will hurt, it will hurt like a bone."

The screen zoomed up, and a colorful font appeared, "The Wolverine will be released worldwide on April 4."

After watching the trailer, Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, then picked up the cigarette on the table, lit one, and started smoking silently.

The secretary frowned. She didn't like second-hand smoke, but for the sake of salary, she had to endure it.

The atmosphere here at Wang Zhonglei is depressing, but on the Internet, it is boiling. The trailer for "Wolverine" has been pinned to the top of the homepage on Daju.com and YouTube, so everyone can see it immediately.

Zhang Nanyi's own account also retweeted the trailer.

Many celebrities at home and abroad also helped repost it, so this trailer was seen by a large number of viewers at the first time.

On the first day alone, the number of views of the Wolverine trailer on the Internet, combined on all platforms, exceeded 5000 million!

Under the trailer video, everyone also spoke enthusiastically.

"I always thought my tears were high, but after watching the trailer, I cried. Wolverine is so difficult. He is a lonely wolf and a miserable wolf, but he never bows his head and is proud. Who can It is said that only those who stand in the light are heroes!”

"I cried too. At the end of the trailer, when the little girl asked Wolverine if it hurt when he stretched out his steel claws, my heart tugged hard.

This is an angle that I have never considered before. I used to think that Wolverine's steel claws were cool and strong, but I never thought that these steel claws protruded from the flesh and blood body.

Before every battle, Wolverine has to hurt himself first. "

"This version of the trailer was completely beyond my expectations. I thought the trailer would be an exciting scene of Zhang Nanyi showing off his strong body and fighting and killing all the way. I didn't expect it to be so deep.

Just based on this trailer, Wolverine's character image is completely established. I really can't wait to watch Wolverine! "

"Completely agree! After all, Zhang is Chinese. I was very worried about him playing Wolverine. But after watching this trailer, I know that my worries were a bit unnecessary. Zhang has captured the essence of Wolverine's character."

"Lonely Warrior, this is Zhang Nanyi's understanding and interpretation of Wolverine. I have to say that it is very spot on. This song is also very nice and very passionate. I like it very much!"

"This song by Zhang is sung in Chinese. Although I can't understand Chinese, but just based on the English translation, I feel that the lyrics of this song are so hot! The melody and rhythm are also progressive! I fell in love with it. Lonely brave man!”

"Because of Zhang, I have learned a lot of Chinese songs, haha, I don't understand Chinese, but I can sing Chinese songs!"

"Me too! I am a long-time fan of Zhang. He has written many beautiful Chinese songs. I like them very much, especially the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which is a song I have been playing on repeat!"

"Hey man, I prefer "The Way You Were". It's a song that sets you free. Because of listening to this song, I quit my job and started hiking around the world!"

Because the trailer of The Wolverine became a hit, the song Lone Warrior also became popular along with it.

Zhang Nanyi is very bold. This time, the Wolverine theme song is used in Chinese around the world, but the English translation of the song is only included in the overseas trailer.

This English translation was done by Zhang Nanyi himself, fully retaining the spirit of the lyrics.

The images of Lone Warrior and Wolverine fit very well, and the song's melody and lyrics were both passionate enough to make it popular all over the world.

Many people abroad began to try to learn this song.

After Annie noticed this momentum, in order to better promote Wolverine, she simply held a competition on YouTube to learn to sing "The Lonely Warrior".

As a result, on YouTube and even on Daju.com, there were suddenly many foreigners singing Lonely Warriors in various pronunciations.

For a time, Lonely Warriors became even more popular around the world than Little Apple did last time.

On March 3st, on the school website, an account named "Takahashi Feng" posted an article with the title "Thank you Zhang Nanyi for making me the envy of everyone."

Takahashi Feng is an American who came to China to study at Yenching University. He usually posts some articles comparing schools and life in China and the United States. His views are relatively objective, so he has attracted a lot of attention.

His account on Xiaonei.com has more than 20 fans, and he can be considered an Internet celebrity.

In the article, he wrote: "Americans are arrogant. In the eyes of most Americans, there are only the United States and other countries in the world.

They believe that the United States is advanced and the most powerful, while other countries are backward and weak.

If you grab a random American on the street and ask him where China is, where Australia is, and where China is, he will definitely not know all of them.

Under such circumstances, there are very few people in the United States who are willing to learn Chinese.

My family and friends around me once didn’t understand my idea of ​​learning Chinese or even studying abroad in China.

But after Zhang Nanyi became popular in the United States, everything changed.

More and more Americans know about the country of China, and through Zhang Nanyi, they hear many Chinese songs.

"Mountains and Seas", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "The Ordinary Road", "The Past You", "Little Apple", "When You Are Old", "The Lonely Warrior", etc., these Chinese songs are also popular in the United States. Gradually it became popular.

Songs are a very special artistic medium. They not only have lyrics but also melody. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the lyrics. There is also a moving melody that attracts you, so songs are easily accepted by people of other languages.

Especially Wolverine's theme song "Lonely Warrior". This song has become so popular in the United States recently. Everyone wants to learn to sing this song, but they don't know Chinese.

Ever since, my family and friends in the United States have been contacting me recently, asking me to teach them Chinese.

I suddenly became popular.

So I specially posted this article to thank Zhang Nanyi. I would like to call Zhang Nanyi the first person in Chinese song output.

He has made huge and outstanding contributions to the cultural exchanges between China and the United States! "

Takahashi Feng himself has a certain fan base, and the articles he published also involve the topic of Zhang Nanyi and Chinese songs.

Therefore, after this article was published, it immediately aroused great discussion and attention, becoming the most popular topic on the school website, and incidentally topped the hot search list on Weibo.
