In addition to making a cameo appearance in Liu Kui's new movie "God of Gamblers", Xiao Ran is also preparing to shoot a new literary movie.

And this movie is Xiao Ran and Tang Yun as the protagonists, and now Xiao Ran is skipping part of the plot, I hope that when I wait for the Spring Festival Gala, when Tang Yun sings the theme song of the same name, I can use these plots as MVs to play!

The literary film with the same name as this song and the movie is "New Love".

A Xiao Ran feels very romantic, but it is not a different kind of romantic feeling like an ordinary love movie.

The story of "New Love" tells the story of Ajie played by Xiao Ran, a young musician who has never met a talented and down-and-out musician, who lives a poor life and is arrogant, and would rather live in a dilapidated old building than to please others, and in the old city, he met the daughter of a street artist, Amin played by Tang Yun, Amin has been pregnant with bone cancer since she was a child, but she is still optimistic!

During the relationship between the two, Amin's optimistic and hopeful personality completely infected Applejack, making him regain his former self-confidence, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other, and Applejack also realized that his temper was difficult to survive in the music industry, so he began to change himself, and just when the relationship between the two was getting better and better, Amin's condition began to deteriorate......

It can be said that this is actually a very ordinary love story, but the classic of this "New Love" lies in a kind of thinking about a down-and-out person when facing the tribulations of life. It's not cheesy, it's very emotional, and there's the romance that the two are pursuing......

"If the worst outcome of life is death, then how can there be difficulties in life that cannot be faced?" - Amin.

This is the last words that this young girl left to Applejack before she died, and it is also the essence of the whole movie, what the screenwriter wants to express most is the psychology that people should have when facing setbacks and difficulties.

The classic of this play can be described by an example around Xiao Ran, when he handed over the entire script to Tang Yun, she watched it for two hours and cried for two hours!

Since then, Tang Yun has fallen in love with the theme song "New Love". And I am very happy to sing this song at this year's Spring Festival Gala.

So take advantage of the fact that the Spring Festival Gala will not start for half a month. Xiao Ran is also ready to shoot as much content as he can for the time being at this time, and the most important thing is to shoot the content of the MV he wants.

For example, in the movie, Applejack takes Amin to meet his brother, who is very down-and-out and unsatisfactory in the music industry.

Amin: "These friends of yours are very good at music! ”

Applejack: "yes! They all play music better than me, and they are poorer than me! Ayou, you don't have to go back to the nightclub? ”

Ayu: "They hired a DJ. It's the end of our entire band. Now it's disco. Ah Hua is even worse, his store has directly become a duck. ”

Applejack: "Why don't you just stay and be a duck?" ”

Shao Hua: "I also want to, I heard that you can earn tens of thousands of dollars in one night!" It's a pity that my body is a little weaker. Alas...... The world has changed, and now men are worth more than women! ”

Dou Cui: "The world has been changing, bell bottoms are about to start to become popular again, and we are all from the previous generation." ”

Amin: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, you play music so well, you can actually compose music and lyrics together, and you may become an instant hit!" ”

Liu Huan: "It's a pity that they tried dozens of shots and didn't ...... popular"

Amin questioned, "Is there something wrong with your music?" Don't make yourself like an artist, you have to be close to the public, otherwise ordinary people won't like it. Cantonese opera also has a lot of good sounds, but when we sing in Banyan Tree Head, it is not suitable to sing it, there is a difference between what we like and what the public likes, liking and begging for life are two different things, you know? ”

Zhu Hongzhi: "When adults speak, children don't interject, what do you know?" ”

Amin was unconvinced and said, "I entered the industry earlier than you!" I know, you must be very fond of putting on a show, and you don't have tactfulness in dealing with people, and you roll your eyes when someone says a few words......"

Ajie also said a little helplessly: "How can you say it so easily, you have to talk about relationships, and you have to look at other people's faces." ”

Amin continued: "I think I see more faces in one night than you see in a year, and you said it, you have to try it when you have the chance, so why can't you let go of your senseless self-esteem?" ”

……

The whole play is about a group of pretentious but really capable musicians complaining, they have no talents, and they are not accepted by their own circle, and because they don't know how to deal with people, they are rejected by the entire industry over time.

These musicians are basically the mentors Xiao Ran currently knows who are in the Voice of China program, such as Liu Huan, Dou Cui and Zhang You, as well as the soundtrack teacher and student Zhu Hongzhi of The Voice Band, these people basically drifted from the north at the beginning, and many of what is written in the script is actually their experience, so the performance is particularly resonant.

And Tang Yun's Amin himself and his family are all singing Cantonese opera and harmonic songs under the head of the banyan tree, and then rely on looking at other people's faces and earning other people's rewards to get by!

It's just that this street group is deeply hidden, whether it is Amin, her uncle or mother and Hua Dan Yanling are all amazing characters, and their music skills are very deep, but when they were young, they were either unlucky, or they had a bad temper, they didn't know how to behave, and they couldn't grasp the opportunity.

So Amin, who grew up in such an environment since she was a child, has developed an all-round musical ability, and has also developed an optimistic personality, but unfortunately after her cancer attack in the end, fate still played with her mercilessly......

Originally, Xiao Ran's plan was to jump the scene to shoot part of the plot he wanted, as the Spring Festival Gala, when Tang Yun sang "New Love", he could appear on the big screen as a MV to play, in addition to singing, at that time, hundreds of millions of viewers will also be able to understand the song from the image and the character's heart and lines.

But the more he filmed, Xiao Ran found that he couldn't jump at all, because Xiao Ran hoped that Ajie, as well as Amin and her hidden family, would have a chance to enter the camera, so it became necessary for every actor to take care of it, and finally simply strive to finish filming this movie in the fastest time.

However, it is not difficult for Xiao Ran, this is originally a literary movie, except for the need for the actors' acting skills to be in place, there are basically no big scenes at all, so the shooting of the whole movie is mainly focused on the actors and photography.

Photography problem Liu Zhengfeng is currently filming "Mr. Zombie 3: Mr. Phantom", Xiao Ran doesn't want him to run on both sides, and Liu Zhengfeng is good at shooting costume films, so Xiao Ran found another gold medal photographer Qu Zhengyang to help with this kind of urban theme.

As for the actors, they are all the best, for example, Amin's uncle Zhang Baozai is Xiao Ran's father who made a cameo, and in the play he had a dialogue with the actor Ajie that impressed Xiao Ran, and was ready to be put in the MV at that time.

Zhang Baozai: "That's right! Listen to Amin, you haven't been going well lately? ”

Applejack: "yes! ”

Zhang Baozai: "What are you afraid of?" Young people, there are more opportunities. Many people have many opportunities in their lives, and the most important thing is to see if they can grasp it! ”

Applejack: "What about you?" Can't you grasp it? ”

Applejack admires Zhang Baozai very much, because he is almost all-round in music, whether it is saxophone or dulcimer, he can control all kinds of musical instruments, and he is at ease, so he asks Zhang Baozai.

Zhang Baozai, who has always felt that he knows his fate, said this time: "Me? I'm mainly too lazy, our band at that time was very popular, I just cared about picking up girls, who knew that I couldn't even find a wife after a lifetime, but I complained about my bad luck at most, and never doubted my talent! Remember that you must not doubt yourself either......"

This line has touched Xiao Ran countless times, this time when his father played against him on the spot, Xiao Ran still felt very moved, and Xiao Ran thought about giving up countless times in his previous life.

But in the end, he persevered, because he understood that his talent was not worse than others, what was worse was only chance and luck, if it was not as talented as others, he should naturally admit defeat and leave, but if it was luck and relationship, then Xiao Ran was unwilling to lose!

As for Hua Dan Yanling, another Banyan Head Orchestra, she is also a very storytelling woman, and this role Xiao Ran was handed over to Su Min from Nanyue to sing, because Su Min has learned Cantonese opera in Liyuan since she was a child.

And back to the role of Yanling in the movie, at first she gave the male protagonist Applejack the feeling of being a pungent and philistine image, and it can even be said that she was selling off at the head of the banyan tree, but Applejack didn't expect Yanling's skills to be so powerful.

When she appeared on the stage as Hua Dan, she seemed to be a shining star, both in terms of singing and skills are not inferior to Liyuan Taidou-level characters, from Amin's mouth, Ajie knew that Yanling had learned to sing big operas since she was a child, and her only willingness was to be able to hang the first card.

Yanling's goal is to like to do big performances on the big stage, but she has never had the opportunity, the performance in Banyan Shutou is just for life, but the money she earns is spent on the headdress and costumes used to do the big play......

After really filming this movie completely, the staff in the crew of "New Love" discovered that this is actually a literary film purely related to music and life, except for the shining singers, most of the musicians are very ordinary and embarrassed.

It's like a singer singing on the water, an artist singing on the banyan tree, and imitating and covering those songs that can't leave their names, all kinds of musicians are persisting in life and dreams, more for life, many people only understand music, let them change their livelihood, they may be able to barely live a life, but they may never be happy!
