Chapter 153: The Evening Wind
I have to say that Uncle Zhan does have a hand for this kind of slightly classical music, in making music, Huang Zhan can be called a genius, and in making movies, Xu Ke can also be called a genius.
The cooperation between the two geniuses was originally a story worth telling.
In fact, in addition to this "Evening Breeze", the future cooperation between the two of them also includes "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "A Laugh in the Sea", "Liang Zhu", "Mohu Luojia", all of which are classics among the classics!
"Shanghai Night" is the first pioneering work of Xu Ke Film Studio, in the parallel world, in order to satisfy the picky Xu Ke, Huang Zhan wrote a total of twelve theme melodies, let Xu Ke pick one by one, one by one.
In the end, in order to restore the flavor of old Shanghai, the two used a lot of classic songs from old Shanghai to add "Evening Breeze", making this song very consistent with the background and content of the movie.
At this time, Ye Qianwen stepped on the stage in a cheongsam, and soon the violin played the prelude to the song.
In the movie, the actor Zhong Zhentao is a down-and-out violin lover, so "Evening Wind" uses violin as a prelude.
Soon, Ye Qianwen, who had a very magnetic voice when she was young, sang.
"In the evening breeze, there are you and my dreams, and in the wind borrow a little time to hug tightly.
The dream of hugging is like a gust of wind, like a gust of phoenix, and you love to send it gently in the wind!
The love of my heart, is the dream of your heart, can you borrow a bridge to connect the two of us?
In this borrowed bridge, will tomorrow's me, tomorrow's you, be like that day again?
In the middle of the song, it was obvious to the audience that the violin played the melody of "Evening Breeze", and there was also a whistling, combined with a short melody of "Night Fragrance", which made people feel as if they had traveled through old Shanghai.
"Tonight's phoenix and tomorrow's dream, how many traces are there in your heart?
Can I borrow time and evening breeze this night to send my love to your heart......"
In the end, the song ended with Ye Qianwen's gentle humming, but countless audiences were still addicted to it.
It can be said that the movie has not yet begun to be officially screened, but the theme song has already conquered a lot of audiences.
……
In order to match the background of the movie, the premiere program arranged today basically puts the background in the old Shanghai during the Republic of China, and most of the content is still the same as the theme of the movie.
Basically, you can see the tone of "Shanghai Night" from these programs, those who like it will like it very much, but those who don't like it may not feel anything.
And this movie is different from martial arts movies, and it is also different from ordinary comedy movies, but a comedy with more Xu Ke's personal style.
Soon after the show ended, the film officially began to be screened.
The story background of "Shanghai Night" is in the old Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhong Zhentao, who eats by playing musical instruments and eating in the troupe, and Zhang Aijia, who fled the theater, met at the bottom of a bridge, and the two had a good impression of each other.
Because ten years ago, during the Anti-Japanese War, after the entire Shanghai was bombed, the two of them met in the dark night, and they didn't see each other clearly at all, and Ye Qianwen, who came to Shanghai to look for relatives on the other side, also appeared, but the search failed, but they were kindly taken in by Zhang Aijia, who stepped into the dust.
Later, Ye Qianwen fell in love with Zhong Zhentao and was elected Miss Yueli, so the three had a subtle love triangle, and in the end, Zhang Aijia and Zhong Zhentao finally knew that the other party was the one they were waiting for, and in order to become them, Ye Qianwen could only withdraw gloomily......
During the screening of the whole movie for more than an hour, there was constant laughter, but it was relatively sparse, not like an ordinary comedy, and everyone felt like they were bursting with laughter.
It can be said that this "Shanghai Night" is more like a romantic humorous sketch, without too complicated realistic logic, no too heavy themes, and no too strict conflicts......
It depicts the joys and sorrows of the worldly little people in the context of the great chaos, because when portraying the characters, there are obviously references to comics and old-fashioned comedies, so although the characters are quite distinct, they are not very realistic.
It can be said that this is a movie that cannot be measured by normal thinking, so those who like it will like it very much and never get tired of watching it, but those who don't like it will find it uninteresting and unrealistic.
Because there are too many coincidences interspersed in the movie, the two people who have a covenant don't even know who the other party is, and they coincidentally live on one floor, obviously their daily lives intersect, but they always can't find each other, and Ye Qianwen was supposed to be drunk, but she avoided losing her virginity because she fell under the bed, and one by one coincidences will make people who pursue logic unbearable.
But it will also make people with simple thinking relish, so in the end, after the premiere of the movie, the reviews are also polarized.
Some netizens said that this is a movie that wastes money, and there is no need to watch it.
Some netizens also said that this is a movie with a very characteristic and personal style, and it is definitely worth watching.
In the end, the first-day box office of "Shanghai Night" was only 7 million, which is the lowest first-day box office among all the movies released by Genesis Films this year.
Because of the polarized reviews, some viewers will be influenced by reviews that are not worth watching, and will eventually be reluctant to pay for tickets, and such a movie itself is doomed to be a big hit.
However, this kind of niche comedy theme is very interesting, and the cost is not high, only more than 4 million shooting and publicity costs, so as long as the final box office can exceed 10 million, basically there will be no loss.
Therefore, Meng Chao, as the boss of the film company, will not interfere with Xu Ke's shooting of such a small-budget movie, but he thinks that Xu Ke should have greater development.
Meng Chao knows very well that Xu Ke is a person with a lot of film pursuits, and he has already filmed the special effects Xianxia movie "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" with high hopes and a high cost, so he was defeated by Yan Zhan, so he turned to relatively low-cost comedies, such as "The Working Emperor", "I Love Night Fragrance" and this "Shanghai Night", in order to show the film industry that he still has the ability to make money-making movies.
But soon he will no longer be satisfied with making small-budget comedy movies, so the script of "Dao Ma Dan" given to him by Meng Chao is undoubtedly used to open the road of Xu Ke's movies, Meng Chao wants Xu Ke to continue to go further, because Xu Lao Wei is a genius who makes movies, just like Wu Yusen, they should not only be satisfied with the glory and benefits brought by low-cost comedies......
