Hilton Hotel Taipei.

After Su Rui waited for the makeup artist to finish working, she tidied up the black sè leather coat on her body and prepared to take the stage.

Seven years ago, when the Hilton Taipei Hotel first opened, Su Rui became the first resident singer here. She sang here in obscurity for two years before being recommended by the hotel manager to sing at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel, where she sang for another three years.

During this period, Su Rui participated in singing competitions and released records, but she just couldn't become popular.

It's not that Su Rui sings badly, it's not that she looks ugly, the biggest problem is that her singing style is too hard, which is completely inconsistent with the popular tender female voice.

This is a very serious problem, just like Zhen Zidan in the 80s, who is obviously good and handsome, but he just can't become popular. Because his aura is too cold, the audience in the 80s likes a down-to-earth star like Cheng Long.

"Miss Su, it's your turn."

The hotel staff ran over and reminded him that if it had been in the past, this person would definitely have said: "Hurry up and prepare, it's time for you to play." ”

As soon as you become popular, the tone of the people around you will change.

"If the wine is not sold,

If the wine is not sold,

If the wine is not sold

……”

The hotel restaurant sounded several preludes in a row, and the guests, who had not paid attention to the song, suddenly stopped in unison and turned their heads to look at the stage.

When Su Rui appeared in a black sè leather coat, all the guests were very surprised, and they applauded and shouted violently in the interval after the prelude.

"Su Rui, Su Rui!"

"If the wine is dry, it will not be sold."

"Wrong ride!"

“……”

At this moment, Su Rui listened to the crazy shouts from the audience. She felt the urge to shed tears.

This is the first performance Su Rui has participated in since returning to Taiwan, and she deliberately chose this stage where she has been singing for two years.

After the release of the soundtrack of "The Wrong Car", in just ten days, Su Rui went from an obscure song. instantly became a well-known first-line singer in Taiwan.

Such a drastic change is simply because of a movie, a movie soundtrack.

In terms of box office popularity, "The Wrong Car" is not much better than "Mr. Zombie". But with social influence, "The Wrong Car" has to throw off the latter several streets. There are several reasons for this:

At this time, the political atmosphere in Taiwan is very depressing, and it is difficult for film and television works with realistic themes to pass the review, so directors often shoot martial arts films and Qiong Yao films that have nothing to do with reality. is like Wang Jujin, who just won the Golden Horse Awards, and he just relies on shooting ancient themes to discuss modern social issues. For movies that focus on reality, only those with inspirational and striving content can get the support of the authorities.

And once a reality-themed movie is successfully released in Taiwan, it will inevitably cause great success, such as "Duck Farmer" in the 60s and "A Boat in the Ocean" in the 70s. Both films caused a sensation when they were released.

"The Wrong Car" is in the original time and space. Even if it is released three years later. During the review of the film, they were all embarrassed by the Taiwan authorities. The name of this movie was called "If the Wine Sells Nothing", and it was later blocked for review because of trumped-up charges. In order to avoid trouble, it was changed to "Take the Wrong Car".

The same is true of Kang Jianfei's current film, when it was submitted for trial for the first time. was directly shot by Taiwan's electrical inspection office, and a movie with this theme must not be released.

Later, it was the Bamboo Union Gang that played a role, Yu Jiping found Hua Jizhong, and Hua Jizhong came to Wu Dun to discuss. Then the two contacted a filmmaker named Shuai Yufeng, and then through Shuai Yufeng, they caught up with the famous director Bai Jingrui, and then Bai Jingrui came up with the idea to contact Mei Changling, the former president of China Film Company and the current general manager of China Television.

After going around in a big circle, Yu Huanping and Chen Xunqi, who had just been discharged from the hospital, met with Mei Changling, and screened "The Wrong Car" to Mei Changling.

Mr. Mei is old, and he has no morality, and he has always supported and encouraged young filmmakers, and he desperately hopes that Taiwanese films can have a good development. After watching "The Wrong Car", Mei Changling immediately agreed that he would personally take the film to the Electrical Inspection Office for trial.

Mei Changling's qualifications are too old, and the gang in the Electrical Inspection Department are all his apprentices and grandchildren, so they don't have the courage to refuse him, but they don't dare to agree to review the movie.

After the last movie, the movie turned around, and because of Mei Changling's disdainful efforts, he actually stabbed Comrade Xiao Chiang, the supreme leader of the Taiwan region. Xiao Jiang was very busy with work, so he naturally didn't have time to watch movies, but he wrote a comment of "doing things boldly", and "Taking the Wrong Car" passed the review of the Electrical Inspection Department.

In fact, Taiwan is now very open in terms of film and television works, and two or three years ago it was allowed to appear in movies with five-star red flags and avatars, but the people who do the specific things below are afraid of making mistakes and have always been unable to let go.

After some twists and turns, "The Wrong Car" was finally officially released.

Earlier, as long as Taiwan's reality-themed movies can be released, they will definitely be successful. And if the plot of this kind of movie is very good, then it will be a huge sensation.

Taiwanese audiences, who have been tired of watching all kinds of martial arts and love movies for a long time, suddenly found a movie close to their real life, and immediately walked into the cinema with friends.

The first time "The Wrong Car" was released, the box office could only be average, and the attendance rate increased rapidly on the second day, and it was directly full on the third day, and the number of additional screenings on the fourth day was still full.

In another time and space, due to distribution problems at that time, "The Wrong Car" was squeezed out half a month after its release. After the painting was dropped, due to the strong demand of the audience, the film was rescheduled to be screened, and so on and so forth, and the film was re-screened eight times in five months.

This time is different, the distribution work has been done very well, and there is a bamboo gang cover, and the general gang does not dare to come to rob the theater.

Less than a month after its release, the box office of "The Wrong Car" has already reached more than NT$20 million, and the singing of "If the Wine Sells Dry" has also appeared on the streets of Taiwan.

It wasn't until the soundtrack of "The Wrong Car" came out that the record went crazy. On Taiwan's Chinese song charts, the two songs "The Same Moonlight" and "If the Wine Sells Nothing" have been ranked at the top, and even the title song of Teresa Teng's new album can only honestly rank third.

Not only that, "Taking the Wrong Car" also caused a big discussion in Taiwan, and the writers discussed the human and family affection shown in "Taking the Wrong Car" in their columns. This was followed by social discussions among various media, and even by zìyóu elements to show the contradictions of social development in the film, they were used to attack the Taiwan authorities, and the conservative media issued several voices banning the screening of "The Wrong Car".

And as soon as the soundtrack record of "The Wrong Car" came out, it dropped a bombshell on Taiwan's music scene.

In the history of Taiwanese music, "The Wrong Car" is juxtaposed with Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye", which is designated as the watershed between the era of campus folk songs and the era of modern pop music, and it is another revolution in Taiwan's music scene.

Now, Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye" has not yet come out, but "The Wrong Car" came out three years ahead of schedule, and its impact is not insignificant.

A few years later, the record "The Wrong Car" was revered as the pioneer of Taiwan's modern pop music, and Kang Jianfei, who wrote the lyrics and music for it, was also hailed as the founder of Taiwan's modern pop music along with Su Rui.

This is a matter of no further aside.

After the movie "Taking the Wrong Car" was released, it directly made the three of them popular.

The first is the male protagonist of the movie, Sun Yue, who plays Li Saifeng's father in the film. This veteran actor, who has just turned 50 years old, was originally playing supporting roles, but now he has become a first-line movie star in Taiwan.

The second is Su Rui, who has a terrifying fan base within a few days as the song of the movie's soundtrack. She is not just promoted to a first-line song, but has launched a revolutionary challenge to the aesthetic music style represented by Teresa Teng and Liu Zheng.

The third is the heroine Li Saifeng, who became popular in Taiwan because of "Mr. Zombie", and now she starred in "The Wrong Car", which directly became popular throughout Taiwan.

As for Chen Xunqi and Yu Huping as directors, apart from insiders, not many ordinary people pay attention to them.

After the film was released for a period of time, KMT's party newspaper "zhōngyāngrì newspaper" came out to join in the fun, saying that "Taking the Wrong Car" was a work of the times, reflecting and showing some problems in Taiwan's social development. But it is undeniable that Taiwan has achieved great success in its development over the years, which can be seen from the life of the protagonist's family in the film. Therefore, Comrade Lao Jiang and Comrade Xiao Jiang are very gray, leading the people to think about a better tomorrow......

Since "zhōngyāngrì" is like this, it can be regarded as setting the tone for the movie "Taking the Wrong Car", and no media dares to shout for the ban anymore, but around "Taking the Wrong Car" is discussed.

How hot is this movie?

Even the entertainment programs of TV stations, celebrities also use "The Wrong Car" as a topic.

Taiwan's professional film magazine "Impact" published: "There are two directors of the film "The Wrong Car" ......, one is Hong Kong filmmaker Chen Xunqi, and the other is Taiwanese director Yu Huanping. Chen Xunqi was born as a musician and set the artistic tone for this song and dance film, although he was in the hospital in the middle of the filming of the film because of the trouble caused by gang members, but his contribution to the film is huge. As for Yu Huanping, he is a Taiwanese director and is very familiar with Taiwan's folk customs and customs, which provides rich social connotations for "Taking the Wrong Car......

The two directors are very powerful characters, but there is one person who has to be mentioned, that is, Kang Jianfei, the planner, screenwriter and investor of "The Wrong Car", ......

Most Taiwanese people know Kang Jianfei because of his scandal with Lin Qingxia, but his fame in the Taiwanese film industry is based on strength......

From a certain point of view, today's Taiwanese film industry can be called 'Kang Jianfei'. A "Mr. Zombie" directed and acted by him, and a "The Wrong Car" written by him, completely overwhelmed the limelight of all movies in the year, and the continuous xìng caused a sensation. In particular, "The Wrong Car" can already be called a phenomenal movie, and in any corner of Taiwan, you will hear someone talking about this movie, or singing the songs in this movie......"
