Speaking of Ziyue, I have to talk about the "North-Beijing Music and Road" that helped Du Xinghe unveil the veil behind the underground rock world.

Du Xinghe once asked his friends who play rock and roll whether the real underground rock world is like that filmed in "Bei-Jingle and Road".

Many friends said nonsense, the underground rock life in Beijing-Beijing is not like that at all, the director is a liar, and that film is also a big bad movie.

But in Du Xinghe's opinion, "North-Beijing Music and Road" is not as bad as his friends say.

The director of this film, Zhang Wanting, is a Hong Kong director with more feminine characteristics than the strong woman Ann Hui in the previous plane, and has directed classic Hong Kong films such as Fa Ge's "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Eight-Two-Gold", and "Song Dynasty (Three Sisters of the Song Family)".

The more recent "The Thief of Years" starring Ren Dahua and Wu Junru is a work written and supervised by Zhang Wanting, and Luo Qirui, the director of "The Thief of Years", is Zhang Wanting's husband.

To commemorate the centenary of the film, the musical and dance drama "Song of the Movie" was created by the couple.

"North-Beijing Music and Road" was also co-created by the Hong Kong couple.

In this film, there is no longer the refreshing unedited effect and flowing mirror movement in "Autumn Fairy Tale", and there is no longer the epic thick brushstrokes in "Song Family Dynasty", Zhang Wanting changed the female delicacy revealed in her previous works, bid farewell to beauty and delicacy, and did not hesitate to raise the DV to record the boiling of youth and the hustle and bustle of the times. As a result, the qiē in "Beijing Music and Road" has become rough and real.

Pigeons, buildings under the gray sky, diverse and mixed flow of people and vehicles, tricycles, sugar gourds, lanterns and neon, roadside shaving stalls, old kites, Yangge old lady, bazaars, large and small alleys, after a variety of symbols are piled up, the audience can see a clear and civilian Beijing-Beijing through this film.

The film begins with the male protagonist Pinglu played by Geng Le singing the classic song "Magnet" of the Ziyue band, and gradually opens a gray story.

Du Xinghe's first contact with Ziyue's music began with this song "Magnetic".

Magnet, also known as "porcelain", means "iron buddy, good brother" in the Beijing dialect.

Porcelain translated into English is exactly what China means.

There's a pun in this song.

In particular, there is a monologue in this song with an accent that resembles "The Principal". So the first time I heard this song. Du Xinghe gave birth to a very unusual feeling.

This song immediately caught Du Xinghe, and the male protagonist behind it, Pinglu played by Geng Le, said during the toast, "A manly man, don't make money." Don't drink alcohol. Don't hug the little slut" even said the hearts of many proud rock people.

The story of this film is not complicated. But it's sad.

The actor "Ping Lu", the lead singer of an underground rock band, his short life. It only represents a very illusory side of Beijing-Beijing rock, but it seems very real for no reason in the film.

At the age of eighteen, he jumped out of his father's train at Beijing-Beijing Station, and since then he has jumped away from his father's hope for him - the train driver, and has since embarked on his own happy road.

He thinks he's rebellious, he thinks the so-called rock spirit is rebellious, so he's irritable, impatient, and unstiny, but he's been humiliated like never before at a record label. The man said to him very contemptuously: "Young man, I am in a good mood today, so I will teach you for free: the bands that can become popular are all rebellious on the outside and obedient on the inside." He departed angrily.

At this time, the film suddenly sounded Wang Feng's famous "Good Night, Bei-Beijing" from the era of No. 43 Baojia Street, and the picture switched to the decadent flat road and the bar girl having crazy sex.

Then, sitting alone by the ruined city wall, he, who never shed tears, cried;

Then, he met his father who drove a train at a small station, and staged a touching scene similar to Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Back";

Then, he almost collapsed and made such a catharsis when he fell under a big tree:

What am I doing here in this stupid place, I~

Who am I singing trash songs to~

I originally wanted to do music well~

As a result, I got the music~

……

As a rock youth who pursued the spirit of rebellious rock and roll, there were only two ways to go for Ping Lu at that time: continue to pursue his ideals, pull up the greenhouse, and not be recognized; Listen to the package, rebel outside, return to the economic company honestly like a dog, and then the record sells and becomes famous.

This is the paradox of rock music, almost the paradox of art, when you are poor and hopeless, the power of creation is the most vigorous, the so-called pain is the root of art, but at this time you are not recognized, desperately trying to squeeze into the mainstream of the palace, and you are finally recognized, but you lose the original creative motivation because of anger and rebellion.

In this context, Pinglu finally chose to continue to wander.

In the end, he also inevitably died, in a car accident.

He collapsed on corn cobs all over the floor, his long hair fluttering.

Accompanied by the voice of Zi said: The Buddha said, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell.

His epitaph is engraved like this: There are times when the road is tired.

……

The story is tragic and cruel, but there are also many light-hearted episodes and dialogues.

is like a passage where Shu Qi injured the audience who sold mutton skewers and was taken to the substation, and Uncle Inspector took a ruler to measure the opening: three and a half centimeters, and there is no need to go to the substation for half a centimeter.

and the conversation between Wu Yanzu and the owner of the people's store is also quite relaxed, and at the same time it makes people feel meaningful. (Note: People's Mall is a small grocery store on the side of the street, mainly selling snacks and pirated discs)

Wu Yanzu: "Is there a Mexican jumping bean?" ”

Boss: "I have oil beans, black beans, spicy beans here, but I don't have that snack."

Wu Yanzu: "It's not a snack, it's a band"

Boss: "I don't have this snack band"

Wu Yanzu: "Very popular in Hong Kong"

Boss: "Let me tell you, it's not up to me whether this is red or not, do you see?" My people's store has a copy of him that is called red, and there is no copy of him, who says that it is not red, and the people are the masters of the house! ”

At that time, the boss sold pirated discs such as Andy Lau's "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" and Nicholas Tse's "Love While Walking...... This is the reality of rock 'n' roll.

Du Xinghe has watched this film no less than five times, just because the soundtrack of this film is really exciting.

Cui Jian, Zheng Jun, Qin Yong, Qiu Ye, Zhang Chu, He Yong, Dai Qin, Wu Tong, Wang Feng, Zhang Qianqian, Zi Yue, Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Thin Man, Reincarnation, Trojan Horse, Twisted Machine, Yaksha, Tongue...... Such a list would drive all those who love rock music crazy.

The light of this movie is by no means the actors in front of the stage, but these rock musicians hidden behind the scenes.

After the film begins with "Magnetic", a number of classic soundtracks appear later, which are perfect with the light and shadow of the film.

For example, the "Deep Light" of the Ziyue Band is Pinglu roaring in a dark room and the faint sunlight from the window.

It also includes the "Internationale" of the Tang Dynasty band, which is heroic and hearty. The first time Du Xinghe heard this song was in the VCD of the Chinese rock force in Hong Kong's Hongqi, and it was even more interesting to listen to it again in the film.

And when the film appeared in "The Depths of Light" for the second time, a disappointed father was in stark contrast to the people who smashed the field, and the backs of the fathers were so lonely.

The adaptation of "The Moon Represents My Heart" is a kind of rescue, such as fighting a fire, helplessly traveling lightly, Yang Ying (Shu Qi)'s performance with a little eroticism will always be more popular than the cynical rock on the flat road.

Finally, a few vaguely recognizable notes from Wang Feng's "Memories Before and After Forgetting Jì", the sound of quarrels and warm strolls, the darkness and the longing for light.

Zi said that the band's "Obedient" was accompanied by the frustration of Pinglu and the breathless walking and chatting after Yang Ying and Wu Qiyan ran wildly, and the strongest effect was the contrast in the atmosphere.

The title of "Obedient" carries a gray meaning, and the so-called rock 'n' roll counterjudgment is always just packaging. Maybe this is true, and the spirit of rock and roll also needs bread to support, so the real counterjudgment is not welcome. Obedient, "Obedient", fill your belly first and then play rock 'n' roll. And the uncompromising true rock 'n' roll spirit that Pinglu carries can only be doomed to be rejected from the record company. This song is the finishing touch to the film.

After that, the music part of Wang Feng's "Forget Before and After Remembering Jì" is very soft and warm. With the close-up of the slow motion, the sunlight that afternoon looked unusually ambiguous. The love that was defeated before the first hand-holding was completely killed by the frustration of another man, and it looked sad with a warm yellow lens.

After that, the film used a song "Good Night Beijing" to highlight the passing of Pinglu, and also to commemorate the passing of rock and roll. Wang Feng's down-and-out vocal range and sensual and decadent lyrics, the meaning of "falling asleep" and dying, "the sound of domestic rollers" and "broken tires" are drag racing and car accidents on the flat road. At the end of the music, Pinglu's pale face and stumbling steps, as well as Wu Qiyan's sentence and Li Kui's fall, and then Ziyue's "You Are Here Too" sounded again-

"Bodhi has no tree / The mirror is not a platform / There is nothing / Where is the dust / So I say / You say / He said / The Buddha said / I don't go to hell / Who goes to hell" - such a singing tone and a calm face on the road are very sad and cause people to cry, and the Zen quotation means a kind of reincarnation.

Finally, as the theme song, "Forget Before and After Memories" and the close-ups of those happy moments are even more pathetic.

The song is less of the theme of the film, but more of a summary: the dream of rock 'n' roll never ends. (To be continued......)
