Chapter 53: The Little Match Girl

"The Little Match Girl" is a famous fairy tale written by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, which mainly tells the story of a little match girl who freezes to death on the street on Christmas Eve of every house, which is contrasting and ironic.

Traditionally, this story expresses Andersen's deep sympathy for the tragic plight of the poor people and his dissatisfaction with the society at that time, but Jiang Li's original intention is very simple, just to tell the children that this shijie has such an unfortunate person, so he should cherish every bit of warmth around him.

Compared with "Snow White" and "Cinderella", this time Jiang Li has a new idea, he wants to move the place of "The Little Match Girl" to China, and the story background is localized.

In addition, after all, the time is long, and some details of the story are relatively vague, Jiang Li gave full play to his imagination, and in this shijie he is the original author, so it is all up to him.

So Jiang Li wrote: "It's very cold, it's snowing, and it's getting dark. It is a zuihou day of the year, Chinese New Year's Eve. On this cold, dark night, a little girl in thin clothes walked barefoot through the streets, her long black hair covered with white snowflakes. She had come out of the house wearing a pair of slippers, which were a pair of large slippers, which her mother usually wore. But as she crossed the street, a car sped at her, so frightened that she ran away with her shoes. One could not be found, and the other was picked up by a little boy, who said as he walked that he would be able to use it as a cradle when he had a child in the future. ”

Writing this, Jiang Li smiled knowingly, this little boy is really simple, he even said that he wanted to use slippers as a cradle, but it also shows from the side that the shoes are very big, and the little girl walks on the street wearing these shoes, almost as if she is not wearing them.

The little girl walked barefoot, her little feet were blue and purple from the cold, and she had many matches in her old apron and a handful in her hand. All day, no one bought her a match, and no one gave her a penny. It was very cold, it was snowing, and it was getting dark. ”

She sat down in the corner of a house, curled up, huddled together, shivering. It was getting colder and colder, and she didn't dare to go home, because she didn't sell a match, she didn't earn a penny, and her father would definitely beat her. Besides, the house was as cold as the streets, and they had only a roof above them, and although the biggest cracks were covered with grass and rags, the wind could still pour in. ”

Jiang Li stopped writing abruptly because he thought of a song inspired by "The Little Match Girl", which might be his next song.

He continued to write, and Ripple had crept behind him at some point, watching quietly, and over time, his eyes were filled with tears.

The little girl lit match after match, through the bright light of the match she saw the warm stove, the fragrant Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and the crackling firecrackers, the little girl stretched out her hand to the little light from the firecracker, that seems to be very warm, right?

At this time, the match was extinguished again, and I saw a firework rise higher and higher, exploding in the night sky, turning into countless flashing "stars", and one "star" fell, marking a slender red light.

"There's a guy who's dying. The little girl said.

When she was alive, her grandmother, who loved her, said that when a star fell, a soul would go to heaven.

She struck another match, and at this moment, the match illuminated all the surroundings, and Grandma appeared in the light, so gentle, so loving.

She hurriedly struck a large handful of matches, and she wanted to keep her grandmother, and a large handful of matches gave off a strong light, shining as bright as daytime. The figure of the grandmother grew taller and taller, and Zuihou took the little girl in his arms and flew away with her, in light and joy, to a place where there was no cold, no hunger, no pain.

The next morning, the little girl curled up in the corner, her cheeks were red, and a smile was on her mouth, and she died like this, freezing to death on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The New Year's sun rose and shone on her little corpse, and white snowflakes bloomed on her long black hair, crystal clear and pure and flawless.

The little girl still had a burnt matchstick in her hand.

"She just wanted to warm herself up. People say.

No one knows how beautiful things she once saw, how happy she used to be, and how happy she was to follow her grandmother towards the happiness of the New Year.

"Woo woo......" Ripple couldn't help crying.

Only then did Jiang Li realize the existence of ripples, and hurriedly hugged the other party, so that he could comfort him.

Ripple lay asleep in his arms, curled up like the little girl in the story, her long black hair hanging down and her bare feet.

"This silly girl. Jiang Li carried the ripples to the bed, put them in the quilt, and then went back to the desk, trying to recall if there was anything missing, adding, deleting and modifying, and was busy until midnight before confirming that it was correct and sending it to Su Mu.

But he didn't go to sleep immediately, but quickly wrote a lyric: Walking in the cold and snowy night sky, selling matches to feed my dreams, freezing step by step and lonely, human affection freezing my hands......

The long-awaited release date has finally arrived, on October 28th, the record "Don't Talk" was officially released, and on the same day, Zhao Qu's new album was also released!

Early in the morning, Jiang Li and Zhao Qu's fans lined up in front of various video stores, which was a spectacular scene that caused thousands of empty alleys.

Jiang Li and Zhao Qu's fans were not convinced, and even pinched each other on the spot, and at this time, fans who liked Jiang Li and Zhao Qu at the same time stepped forward to persuade each other.

Overall, it was relatively harmonious, no one deliberately instigated and made trouble, Jiang Li would not do that, and Zhao Qu also restrained his bad intentions because of Ye Baisheng's warning.

When most of the media were focused on the signing meeting in Pengcheng, Liu Qianqian, who came to the streets of Jinling to conduct interviews, paid special attention to the video stores.

"Hello boss, I'm a reporter from the "Su Provincial Daily", do you have the latest records of Jiang Li and Zhao Qu in your store?"

"Haha, you're really joking, these are the two most anticipated records in Sioux Province in October, which video store doesn't have it?"

"Then I wonder if the boss can reveal how much of these two records have been made so far?"

Seeing that the boss was embarrassed, Liu Qianqian changed her tone and asked: "If it's inconvenient to disclose the specific number, just say a rough idea, which record has more money?"

"That's 'Don't Talk', of course!"

"Weishenme? Is it because you're optimistic about the sales prospects of Don't Talk?"

"It's not, I don't know what the result will be, but as far as I'm concerned, I like the song "Don't Talk" very much, which is more suitable for an old man like me to listen to haha, Zhao Qu's song always feels like it's sung to young people, what kind of love and love, a little impetuous, not subtle enough. ”

"It's really a fellow believer, boss, give me a copy of "Don't Talk"!" Liu Qianqian said happily, and stretched out her hand very simply.

"Okay!" replied the boss.

Liu Qianqian asked a few stores one after another, and the answers she got were not the same, some chose to enter more Zhao Qu's records for Baiyu's origin, and some were optimistic about Jiang Li's prospects and the ingenious content design of "Don't Talk", some were impartial and made the same amount, and the overall situation was almost half open, maybe Zhao Qu was slightly better.

But this is far from the end, because it will not be until today's official release that Jiang Li and Zhao Qu's new record Zuihou song will be revealed, and the excitement of this Zuihou song is likely to determine who will win!

After Liu Qianqian's interview, she went home directly, closed the curtains, stuffed the record "Don't Talk" into the player, turned on the stereo, held a large bag of popcorn bought on the road, and curled up in the soft and comfortable sofa.

She held back her curiosity and didn't jump directly to a song of zuihou, but watched it in order, which made people want to stop, excited, nervous and looking forward to it.

Here it goes, the first song, "Leaves"!

The red maple leaves flying all over the sky, a girl in a snow-white dress appeared in the picture, Ye Chen was originally a beauty, and after Jishu rendering and processing, it was even more beautiful at the moment.

But Liu Qianqian, who is also a beauty, obviously has a strong resistance to Ye Chen's beauty, and her attention is focused on the background, which is clearly Qixia Mountain!

Okay, you Jiang Li! Said that haode must say hello to me when he came to Jinling, but I didn't expect to sneak to Qixia Mountain to shoot the MV at some point! I don't know if it's such a fun thing! Moreover, this is valuable news material!

The picture is very beautiful, with Ye Chen's poignant and hoarse voice, as if the whole autumn is coming, when Ye Chen turned into an angel with two wings and slowly fell from the sky, Jiang Li appeared, catching each other, and the song was smoothly switched to the second song, "Wings", perfect connection.

Jiang Li flew with the wings that Ye Chen gave him, and flew with her.

The computer special effects are very well done, Jiang Li walked through the sky with Ye Chen in his arms, through the clouds, one by one the clouds floated by his side, Ye Chen looked at each other quietly, his affectionate eyes did not seem to be fake, as if he wanted to melt away all the gloom of autumn.

When "Wings" stopped zuihou by one note, the first part of the MV ended, the second part of the MV began, and it was Ye Chen's turn to sing "It's Been Quiet".

Ye Chen stood alone on the street, looking around blankly, at a loss, the sea of people was endless, all blurred, only her, and the No. 9 Station next to her were clear, this stark contrast gave people a strong visual impact and spiritual shock.

Being quiet alone is not lonely, being quiet in a group of people is the real loneliness.

At this moment, Jiang Li appeared on the other side of the sea of people, and the two looked at each other across the sea, as if they were about to become eternal.

He ran to her, this paragraph seemed to be a reproduction of the scene when Jiang Li chased Ye Chen that day, in fact, this was added by Jiang Li temporarily during the filming, and it was Ye Chen's suggestion.

After that, scenes of both warm and sad shots passed by, until the dark blue sea was covered with white moonlight, and Jiang Li sang "Don't Talk" in a deep magnetic voice!

Jiang Li walked and stopped on the beach, his thoughts drifted into the distance, drifting to the person's side, and suddenly, a slightly illusory figure appeared beside him, it was Ye Chen, dancing with him.

He was emotional, and his suppressed emotions were like a volcanic eruption, like the waves crashing against the rocks, pouring out loudly, and crying out incessantly!

zuihou, Ye Chen's figure disappeared, Jiang Li fell on the beach, and the picture slowly darkened, getting darker and darker.

Suddenly, it's really very, very sudden, a bright light cuts through the screen, the red sun erupts, the wind rolls the clouds, the waves roll angrily, zuihou a song, it's coming!
