Chapter 121: If You're Well, It's a Sunny Day
[Oh, Anihasai has. Of course there is!]
[Now I have good food, and I am not short of money. I just want to spend more time with my family. But I have to work hard to make a good life for them. 】
The white-collar man in the suit saluted to the camera, turned around and squeezed into the crowded bus.
……
[My dream?...... I hope that my academic performance will improve. If I can be admitted to Seoul National University like Myunghoon, my mother will be very happy. 】
【Kim Sook-won Fighting!~】
A female high school student wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag refueled herself to the camera. Leaving a shy smile and running away.
……
[This wasn't the case before.] 】
An old man sitting on the bank of the Han River who came to fish said with emotion.
[Our country has become rich and strong, and our lives have also become better. 】
……
The music video gradually darkens until it is completely dark. The long prelude ended, and the song finally began quietly.
A light that wasn't too bright fell vertically, and Cheon Myung-hoon stood in the center of the circular spot of light, his shadow curled up at his feet.
The camera cuts to a frontal close-up, with a large dark curtain behind him. The undulating surface is so regular.
Cheon Myung-hoon is wearing a black and white school uniform and stands straight. His arms hang down naturally, and his fingers are folded in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, and he looked a little reserved.
I have a dream
He was disillusioned and gave up
But even so shabby
It is still like a treasure in the depths of my heart
Treasured dreams
……
After singing the first song, Cheon Myung-hoon's eyes were much firmer. Although his voice was low and trembling, it was clear that the music had given him courage.
Cheon Myung-hoon began to shake his head slightly to the music, and raised his hands to his chest as if to grasp something.
The control of sound is also getting better. Not only has the volume increased a lot, but there have been obvious ups and downs:
People always say worriedly
Unattainable dreams are like poison
The world is like an end book
It can't be changed anymore
That's the reality
……
By the time he entered the chorus, Cheon Myung-hoon had completely let go and was fully engaged in singing.
His voice could no longer fully carry his emotions, so he naturally used body language to assist.
The face change also began to revolve around Cheon Myung-hoon, constantly switching between full-body vistas and close-ups of the face.
But I also have dreams
I've always believed in that dream
Please keep an eye on me
In that it is called fate
In front of a cold wall
Be brave in the face of it
One day I'll climb over that wall
Soar freely in the sky
This heavy world can't bind me either
At the end of my life
Let's do it together
Greet the day with a smile
……
When the last lyrics were also sung, Cheon Myung-hoon gradually woke up from the state of unity between people and songs.
His expression and body began to be a little restrained again, and he quickly returned to the way he was before he started singing.
Cheon Myung-hoon hummed in a nasal voice with his head tilted to the music under the cone-shaped light until the music was over.
It was as if someone had turned on a light switch, and the surrounding darkness quickly disappeared from the frame. In the direction that Cheon Myung-hoon was facing, a judge's seat was revealed.
It turns out that the place where Cheon Myung-hoon is standing is not a stage.
The camera slowly advanced towards the judges' seat, and several middle-aged judges were talking one after another. The person in the center of the judges' seat is the teacher Li Xianji.
Li Xianji probed slightly, leaned over to the microphone and said softly: [Inside, I have already appreciated it very well. Thank you very much for singing. 】
After Qian Mingxun bowed, he picked up the schoolbag on the side and exited the picture.
This is the end of the MV.
————
Lee Di and Kim Dong-yul's Carnival is just a temporary combination based on friendship. But in the album released in 1997, this "Swan's Dream" has become a classic that will last forever.
After Cheon Myung-hoon decided to cover an old song about his dreams, this one was the first thing that came to mind. But he only knows that this song is very popular and is a popular classic.
But he still underestimated the impact the song could have.
"The Dream of the Swan" is almost the same name of "Dream" in the Korean song industry. Ren Soon-yi covered this song in 2007, plus her own extraordinary life experience. The interpretation of the word dream is incisive, and it also pushes this old song to the top.
Although Cheon Myung-hoon can't be like Ren Shunyi's predecessors, he has a charm that contains vicissitudes as soon as he speaks. But he has just been admitted to Seoul National University and is at an important juncture when he is about to enter adulthood. Energetic teenagers are also the most qualified to talk about their dreams.
With this simple but vivid MV, a teenager with a musical dream has been vividly imprinted in the hearts of the audience. In the end, Li Xianji's surprise also made the audience think about it.
Cheon Myung-hoon participated in the talent show, was favored by Lee Seon-hee, and was carefully taught by his subordinates, and now he has finally released his first album. This kind of corroboration with reality can be mutually corroborated, with suggestive MV images. There is no need to say much, people will naturally make up all the plots in their heads.
It can be described as the finishing touch.
At this time of the year, Cheon Myung-hoon's "Swan's Dream" has far exceeded the warm-up role in the publicity plan. The national-level heated discussion set off on the Internet, plus various extended topics.
It's already overshadowed everything else!
All the news and song reports related to the college entrance examination are adding firewood to this raging fire.
This phenomenal popularity is not something that a song can carry. The final sales of Cheon Myung-hoon's album were just an inconspicuous speck of dust compared to the former. What can be confirmed is that there must be a lot of frustrated dreamers who are excited about it. But what kind of subtle impact has the changes in all aspects caused by this on the world?
No one could have foreseen.
Will IU work hard to practice singing skills, and finally be favored by other brokerage companies. Will Kim so-hyun enter the showbiz ahead of schedule, so as to miss out on Professor Do.
Will there be any female trainees in S.M who are deeply motivated, which will lead to personnel changes in the girlhood?
……
Thinking like this, Cheon Myung-hoon's music dream no longer seems to belong to him. The things he had tried so hard to avoid could no longer be separated from him.
Cheon Myung-hoon finally realizes that in addition to the slow but eventual parting, he is also unable to live alone.
But this time, instead of being decadent, Cheon Myung-hoon quickly sorted out his thoughts.
The benefits of that dream have come to an end for him. Because he already knew about Yun'a's existence, what to do next, Cheon Myung-hoon couldn't be clearer in his heart.
He is not a Buddha who is equal to all beings, just a mortal with a preference. As long as Yuna will become happier because of himself, he can be ruthless and ignore the suffering of others.
Cheon Myung-hoon can make that decision against the world for the sake of Yoon-a.
For only God knows his powerlessness.
And man is always omnipotent.
