Chapter 312: Let's Tell the Truth
Yu Li listened quietly to the headphones, and Yu Chenghao's singing voice came.
"Why don't you understand
As long as there is love, there is pain
You'll find out one day
Life wouldn't be different without me......"
Yu Chenghao's singing skills are there, naturally needless to say.
Moreover, compared to his previous style, this time, perhaps because of the song itself, his voice is a little more tender than before.
The arrangement and lyrics of the whole song are the most emotional for Yu Li.
Nostalgic love songs, popular ten years ago, at the beginning of the century, and even further, were two major genres parallel to campus love songs and ballads, popular in the Oriental land and the youth campus of that era.
In the past few years, the singers of the old school are still sticking to popular love songs, but firstly, they have been hit by new trends such as new folk songs, opera music, and Internet songs.
Many of the love songs of that era have been brought to the present, although they are no longer in line with the mainstream popularity, they still sound very empathetic.
And now, even the nostalgic love songs created by some famous veteran creators have lost the flavor of the past.
But this time, Lin Bao took out the song "When Love Is a Thing of the Past", but it made Yu Li feel the taste of the year at once.
"Sure enough, he deserves to be a great god!"
Yu Li sighed as she listened.
Lin Bao's music has always been in the name of innovation, and this time, this kind of nostalgic pop music is also excellent, and even has the potential to be classic, at least that's what she thinks.
In the past two years, with the rise of online music, even those veteran musicians have begun to lament that traditional love songs are dead.
Now it seems that it is not the traditional love song that is dead.
And there are fewer and fewer people who can write about the tender and delicate emotions of those years.
However, looking at the back of the MV, some movie clips kept flashing, and Yu Li's heart was still a little surprised.
She didn't expect Lin Bao to choose such a popular love song ten years ago as the theme song of the entire movie.
Moreover, it is also the theme song of such a drama movie.
In fact, at first, everyone thought that the theme song of Lin Bao's new movie was "Red Ling".
After all, according to the publicity during this time, the theme of this movie is also a theme with inheritance and persistence.
Although the story is different, in terms of theme, it should be similar to the story in the previous MV of "Red Ling".
After all, this is still a story of opera inheritance, otherwise, the opera association would not be so supportive.
And if you tell a story of opera persistence and opera inheritance, in fact, most netizens already have a general story line in their hearts.
Sticking to and inheriting is actually the "main theme" movie all over the world.
It doesn't matter if it's the "big me" or the "small self".
In terms of story mode, it can be regarded as the most common and popular story on the screen.
However, such a story, if paired with a song like "When Love Is a Thing of the Past", you will feel that some bull's head is not right on the donkey's mouth.
"When Love Is a Thing of the Past" is obviously singing a love story, or rather, at least a story of feelings.
Could it be that in Lin Bao's movie, the emotional line is also an important part?
Or is it the love here, not the traditional one?
Some can't figure it out.
Yu Li immediately began to read the comments on the Internet.
Under the official trailer, the number of comments has exceeded 3,000, and it is still being refreshed and increased.
Scrolling down the comments, everyone is basically in the same mood as Yu Li.
Just looking at these scenes in the editing, I feel that all the actors' performances are very dramatic!"
"Indeed, every shot and every dialogue that is cut out feels very powerful and content! It's not that kind of empty emotional performance. ”
", is Mr. Yu Chenghao so amazing? The first turn, the makeup is so amazing, I didn't even recognize him at first sight! And the next line of a lifetime, it's so explosive, I feel a little hairs stand up when I hear it!"
"I feel that Mr. Yu Chenghao's whole person is completely different from his previous image!
"Haha, the teacher has dedicated himself to art!"
"The other actors seem to be pretty good, and the performances of a few children in it are also very feeling! The most surprising thing for me is that Lu Yuan ......."
"it, Lu Yuan, there is Lu Yuan in the trailer, why didn't I see ......?"
"Finally, there is a shot in the back, the young man in the guard's clothes!"
"It's him! Damn, I didn't even recognize it! This is ...... Let's be ugly!"
"Lu Yuan's makeup, I really didn't recognize it!, but, just looking at this paragraph, I think his performance is not too miserable!"
"Probably, because the trailer is cut with some key passages. ”
"I heard that Great God Lin Bao had personally trained the two of them in advance, especially Lu Yuan...... I think that with Lin Bao's taste, if he can't reach enough professional acting height, he won't let him act. ”
"Indeed, Mr. Lin Bao still has no shortage of traffic in advance. ”
......
In the comment area, everyone mainly discusses the content of the movie itself.
First of all, unlike the shocking visual effects of Hollywood blockbusters, watching the scenes in the trailer of "Farewell My Concubine", including the appearance of the actors, although it is not the kind of adrenaline scene, it still makes netizens feel antique.
In particular, Cheng Dieyi's "Yu Ji" appearance has been shot in the trailer many times.
The costume of "Yu Ji" is the one designed by Lin Bao before, the main color of gold, when it was worn out by Yuan Koi before, it was sought after by netizens on the Internet.
The sassy style of the opera and the pure appearance of the dimensional girl are simply too eye-catching.
Now, among the five original costumes, the "Yu Ji" set is the most expensive, but it sells the most quantity.
In the trailer, this set of clothes is worn on Yu Chenghao's character, and a few shots flashed, and the smile directly saw that many netizens felt "heartbeat".
The appearance of "Yu Ji" is simply beautiful!
In addition, the acting skills of many actors, from the trailer, can also see some clues.
Several veteran actors with starring and supporting roles naturally have acting skills.
Among them, the most discussed before is also in terms of acting, Yu Chenghao and Lu Yuan, who need to be improved the most, are surprising from the trailer.
Lu Yuan's performance, and his previous performance in "Star Adventure King", is definitely improved.
As for Yu Chenghao's performance, just a glimpse of it, there is a very amazing feeling.
This point is the most discussed in the comment area.
In the end, it is the theme song of the whole movie, "When Love Is a Thing of the Past", which is the least talked about by ordinary netizens.
However, there are still some music critics who have expressed their opinions on this song.
Basically, it's all praise.
"The fairy-level arrangement and lyrics let us go back to that year, the tender era of that year...... There are not many ...... of such tenderness now."
"It is said that traditional love songs are dead, and Lin Bao's theme song makes us see clearly, what is dead is the delicacy and feelings of those years......"
"Yu Chenghao's singing is also what surprised me. He seems to sing from the perspective of his own role in the play...... It is said that he is the leader of a new generation of songs, and this song made me see a powerful echo of traditional pop love singing ten years later......"
"In connection with this theme song, I think that Mr. Lin Bao may not just want to express a 'main theme' in this movie. In fact, we have watched a lot of such 'main theme' films. But in fact, the films that can really be remembered and never forgotten, in the end, are all from feelings to emotions. Personal emotions are actually always the brightest point in the context of the big story. ”
"In short, I look forward to the Virgo of Lin Bao, and I hope to be like his songs, let us be amazed!"
......
Throughout the second half of August, the hot spots on the Internet were basically the visual effects publicity of several promotional films of "The End of the World", as well as the discussion of the trailer and theme song of "Farewell My Concubine".
In subway stations in major cities, on the walls of various theaters, and on huge promotional screens in busy streets, the most conspicuous place is the poster of the two movies alternately.
It is very clear that the distribution and publicity of this period of time is very important, and the importance cannot be made up for by Lin Bao's personal charm and fame, so Zheng Rong and Tang Film and Television have spent a lot of money on publicity, in order to achieve a publicity degree that is not weaker than "The End of the World".
Several other movies, even the "Wanderer", which is actually a trailer that is also released to make people feel very interesting, is basically too small to make under such a two-way attack.
During this time, as the main creator of the film, Lin Bao and several main actors in the crew, as well as members of the director team, also began to promote in various cities.
Traveling with him, in addition to Guo Yunfan from the Tang Dynasty, there were also some teachers from the Opera Association, and even some old gentlemen from the Association came out to stand on the platform.
It is precisely for this reason that Lin Bao, who didn't actually want to show up more, also followed the crew and began to run in several major first-tier cities.
Among them, on August 27, a promotional event held in a hotel in the magic capital was the most important one.
Early in the morning, he and several key propagandists came to the hotel in advance.
Several other people were all dressed in suits, but Lin Bao was wearing a simple casual dress.
It is not a particularly formal occasion, and as a director, he naturally does not have so many restrictions.
Another special person is an old gentleman in the opera, and at the same time, he is also an actor in the movie.
"Teacher Jiao!"
When Lin Bao arrived at the scene, he also found the old gentleman in a black Tang costume first.
This is the old gentleman who played Colliers in the movie, in the section of "The Drunken Concubine".
In today's event, he is also a guest, one of the crew members, and also represents the Opera Association.
"Director Lin, you're here. ”
The old man smiled.
"Teacher Jiao, you are fine, it may be noisy here today, and when the time comes, I will have to go on stage, and I may not be able to take care of it." Wait, someone from the studio will come and join you for this event. ”
Lin Bao said with concern.
"Director Lin, you're polite!"
The old man waved his hand busily, "I have a body and bones, I can walk on the stage, on this occasion, no problem! If you are busy, go ahead, don't worry about me, if you need to go on stage, just notify me directly!"
"Okay, Mr. Jiao. ”
Lin Bao smiled, chatted a few more words, and then turned around and left with the people in the studio and began to arrange other things.
......
"Lin Bao. ”
was about to start, Zheng Rong came over.
"Aunt Rong, is there something wrong?"
"I just received some gossip about Cheng Hao's injury, which may have been known by some media reporters. ”
Zheng Rong's face was slightly serious.
"It's already out?"
Lin Bao was a little surprised.
In fact, it has been several months since Yu Chenghao's accident.
Because he didn't want to be troubled, and in addition, after a narrow escape from death, in fact, during this time, Yu Chenghao has basically recovered a lot after receiving counseling from a psychiatrist and Lin Bao, and he is basically completely fine.
I'm even already preparing for the next play.
A few friends who knew about it had kept it secret and did not spread the matter.
But I didn't expect that it would suddenly be spread out at this joint.
"Not yet. ”
Zheng Rong said, "However, according to the information I have received, it is very likely that they will bring up this matter on the spot at today's business activities to create an effect." ”
Lin Bao nodded.
It is very possible.
If the media gets this gossip and breaks it out on this occasion today, it will be the most beneficial for them.
Today's occasion is the biggest movie promotion event.
For Lin Bao and the new movie, if it is not handled well, it is likely to evolve into a bad influence.
"The way now is either for us to simplify the process and eliminate the Q&A session for the audience. Either that, we're going to have to take action. ”
Zheng Rong said.
"If the Q&A is canceled, I think there's a good chance they'll find a way to get this out. ”
"So, we need to think about the wording in advance. Wait a minute, I have to find Cheng Hao, and a few other actors will talk about it together......"
"The main thing is to say, what kind of attitude we have to adopt in this matter. ”
In fact, no matter what kind of attitude it is, whether it is covering up, downplaying, or admitting it, as long as this matter is exposed at such a final point in time, it will inevitably have an impact on the movie.
This kind of impact is not big or small, but whether it is for Zheng Rong or for Lin Bao, they want to turn this matter into a bad influence.
It may not only affect Lin Bao and his films, but may even affect Yu Chenghao's development after that.
Lin Bao raised his head and said, "Aunt Rong, what do you think if we tell the truth?"
"Tell me the truth?"
Zheng Rong looked at him, thought about it, and said, "It may cause some controversy on the Internet." ”
In other words, if it is said truthfully, then the final public opinion result will be handed over to the audience. ”
"As long as no one else is deliberately leading, but it's impossible. ”
Zheng Rong said.
Lin Bao pondered for a while and said, "I don't think this matter is a bad thing. Therefore, we have a clear conscience in our own hearts, so we don't need to hide anything. If we can dilute or cover it up, we will be completely messed up by lying. Even if there will be some unfavorable effects on us on the Internet, at most, I feel that my directing methods are problematic, and it will not affect Senior Cheng Hao, as for ......"
Zheng Rong next to her listened to Lin Bao's words and nodded slightly.
Lin Bao's treatment is actually what she thinks in her heart.
In fact, the best way to deal with the issue of public opinion is to be honest.
Any other means, in the face of facts, will be defeated in the end.
And the consequences of the defeat are even more serious.
This is one of her biggest experiences in this circle, in these years.
But many people can't see through it.
And Lin Bao's ability to say such thoughts is actually his own character.
This is also what Zheng Rong envies and values Lin Bao very much.
In such a world of public opinion and entertainment, you can not only turn over the clouds and rain, but also be able to make yourself independent and not let your heart be affected in the slightest.
I'm afraid that in the entire entertainment industry now, there are almost no things that can be done.
......
At nine o'clock, the event officially began.
Under the control of the host, in the huge hall, basically follow the process.
The main creative team also chatted about some interesting things and experiences in the shooting.
Especially the previous trailer, many people were very surprised by the direction of the entire plot and the performance status of several actors. Including Lin Bao, as well as Yu Chenghao and others, they were all chatting with the host very happily, and at the same time, according to the previously set script, they threw out some interesting points.
Soon, it was time for the media to ask questions freely.
"Okay, the following is the free question session for media friends and journalist friends in the audience, do you have any other questions you want to ask the main creative team, about the content of the movie. If it's about any personal matter or gossip, we won't answer it!"
The host's words made the audience laugh.
Lin Bao also smiled and glanced at Zheng Rong next to him.
The microphone was handed to a media person who raised his hand, and the other party took it and said: "My question is about Mr. Lu Yuan, what I want to ask is, are you satisfied with your performance in this movie? I heard that Director Lin Bao gave instructions on the spot."
