…
On August 18, "Big Close-up" published an article entitled "Hong Kong Film New. The Wave: Revolutionaries Challenging Tradition.
In the article, the 'new. The content of Inspur's film is divided into five aspects, which are: 1. Keen sense and reflection of social reality issues. Second, the display of local style. 3. Personal experience and collective recollection. Fourth, women's lyrics. 5. Concern for the country, the nation and overseas Chinese.
The article also said that "Jumping Ashes" directed by Liang Puzhi and Xiao Fangfang and "Happy Ghost" directed by Xu Cun are all new. A representative of Inspur Cinema.
New. As soon as the concept of waves appeared, it caused a huge sensation in the film industry in a very short time.
It didn't take long for Xu Cun to become the new . Pioneer of the wave.
As a result, Xu Cun became famous.
Then, some of Xu Cun's deeds were also dug up by major media - what Xu Cun is the author of "Ethereal Journey" and "Shanghai Tang", what Xu Cun is the lyricist and composer of "Please Follow Me" and "Happy Ghost", and the most popular songs in Xiangjiang "Shanghai Tang" and "Sword Like a Dream" are also created by Xu Cun.
In just a few days, Xu Cun has not only become famous in the film industry, but also in the literary and pop music circles.
Furthermore, the Xiangjiang Pop Song Writing Invitational Contest held by Wireless also sent an invitation letter to Xu Cun, inviting Xu Cun to be a judge, and the name of Fang Yihua was still on the invitation.
At this stage, DreamWorks movies can't do without Shaw Brothers Cinemas if they want to sell high box office. Therefore, Xu Cun did not dare to offend Fang Yihua, a woman who would be avenged.
Therefore, on September 17, Xu Cun obediently drove the Honda he rented to the venue of the Xiangjiang Pop Songwriting Invitational Competition.
It's a pity that Xu Cun got up early in the morning but rushed to a late meeting - the Toyota broke down halfway. Later, Xu Cun took a passing car into the city. After that, I took a taxi to the competition venue.
When Xu Cun arrives at the place, the competition is almost over.
Seeing this, Xu Cun was not in a hurry - it was too late anyway, and it was useless to be anxious.
However, Xu Cun was not in a hurry, but the wireless staff was anxious for him, and an old man with a rather kind face urged Xu Cun: "Take two steps quickly, maybe you can catch up!" Then, he kindly showed Xu Cun the way.
Faced with the old man's kindness, Xu Cun could only say thank you, and then symbolically sped up a few steps in the direction pointed by the old man.
After seven and eight rounds, Xu Cun came to the backstage.
Looking left and right, Xu Cun realized that he might have taken the wrong path.
But at this moment, a woman in her forties turned her head to look at Xu Cun and urged: "It's too late, don't hurry up!" With that, the woman turned her head.
Hearing this, Xu Cun said secretly: "Are you still waiting for me?" Then, Xu Cun walked in the direction where the woman was.
Walking up to the woman, Xu Cun wanted to ask what the situation was now.
But before Xu Cun could speak, the woman urged again: "Go straight, turn left after going up the stairs, hurry up!" ”
Then, Xu Cun walked in the direction pointed by the woman in a daze......
Crossing a curtain, Xu Cun was stunned in place - he actually walked onto the stage!
Suddenly, the eyes of nearly a thousand viewers in the audience were focused on Xu Cun.
The hosts He Zhangxin and Fei Fei were originally facing away from Xu Cun, but when they saw that the audience was looking at Xu Cun, they also turned their heads to Xu Cun.
He Shouxin deserves to be a well-known host - his response is very fast! He smiled and said, "This player ......"
However, as soon as He Shouxin spoke, Fei Fei immediately removed the microphone and reminded in a whisper: "He is Xu Cun, one of today's judges." ”
This time, even He Shouxin didn't know how to go down.
After being stunned, Xu Cun hesitated for a moment, then he walked straight to the microphone used by the contestant, and then cleared his throat and said, "What's that...... That one...... The song I sang was ......"
At this time, Xu Cun saw Chen Baiqiang in the crowd.
So, Xu Cun continued: "The song I sang was "What to Ask for in Life". ”
At this moment, Huang Zhan in the judges' seat stood up and said with a smile: "This contestant, what about your instrument, you shouldn't be a light singer, right?" ”
Seeing Huang Zhan's face smiling like a chrysanthemum, Xu Cun knew that Huang Zhan recognized him.
In fact, not only Huang Zhan, but also many people who have watched "Happy Ghost" also recognize Xu Cun, and they are all wondering: "Why did Xu Cun come to the competition, is he an easter egg arranged by wirelessly?" ”
What others think, Xu Cun really can't take care of - now, Xu Cun is thinking about how to get through the embarrassing situation in front of him.
Seeing Huang Zhanxiang asking, Xu Cun hit the snake with the stick and said, "Brother Zhan, lend me a guitar." ”
Huang Zhan said to a tall player very happily: "Young man, can you borrow your guitar from him?" ”
The tall contestant listened and gave Xu Cun his guitar.
He tried the sound, and then played the front of "What to Ask for in Life", and then sang affectionately: "How can I rest the cold and warm, how many autumns have I looked back, I have lost all the time, I have not hoped for it, I have not gotten it, I can't explain the gains and mistakes, I just heard it and changed it, I don't know where to investigate, what to ask for in my life, often judge to give up and have, exhaust my life, I can't touch it and run away, what do I want in my life......
The song sounded, and everyone at the scene slowly quieted down......
Until Xu Cun finished singing, there was still silence in the field.
After a while, the first applause rang out!
Immediately after that, there is the second, the third, the fourth......
After a while, everyone present spontaneously applauded!
Huang Zhan applauded and said: "What a song "What Do You Want in Life", such a Xu Cun, no wonder you can create a song like "Shanghai Tang"!" ”
Then, Huang Zhan said with a little regret: "It's a pity, there is only one guitar accompaniment, otherwise this song "What Do You Want in Life" will definitely sound better!" ”
Huang Zhan broke Xu Cun's identity as the lyricist and composer of "Shanghai Tang", and the scene was immediately in an uproar, and the discussion began to spread - now, the song "Shanghai Tang" is so popular in Xiangjiang that few people in Xiangjiang have not heard this song. Therefore, knowing that Xu Cun is still the lyricist and composer of "Shanghai Tang", can you imagine the surprise of the people present?
Seeing that the audience was no longer under control, Xu Cun simply smiled bitterly and said to Huang Zhan: "Brother Zhan, you sincerely don't want me to step down!" ”
"It's not easy to get off the stage, sing another good song, and we will naturally let you go down." Huang Zhan also realized that he was cheap, so he hurriedly found a step for Xu Cun.
When the audience heard this, they coaxed: "One more song!" One more song! One more song......"
The scene became like this, Xu Cun felt that he was a little noisy, no, it would be more accurate to say that his behavior was already a little suspicious of making trouble. So, he hurriedly looked at Fang Yihua in the judges' seat......
