Do you remember the last time you raised a glass?

Chen Ming remembers.

And not so long ago, on their own wedding day.

There will be many toast moments in life.

Some moments are because of happy drinking, and some moments are because of drinking to relieve sorrows.

Although Chen Ming is not strong enough to drink, he always feels that a life without a glass is not perfect.

The toast itself is not the point.

The intention behind it is what brings people together.

And the song "Cheers" Ashin himself wrote and composed the lyrics and lyrics in 2011.

To be honest, if you don't look at the lyrics, just look at the title, you will feel that it is an emotional song.

You can't imagine that this song is about cheers.

And the object of the toast is with the old people in his life, and with himself at the end of his life.

Because of this, Chen Ming still remembers that this song was included in the album of "Second Life" by Ashin.

Songs can only be remembered.

Remembering that I have regrets and a wonderful life.

But for the song, the world inside the song is the second life of many people.

Chen Ming has always believed that singing is not a process of showing off his singing skills, but a process of emotional resonance and empathy.

Because, singing skills can be trained.

But feelings can't be practiced.

Only when you have experienced a certain thing and have a certain age can you be touched by a specific emotion in certain songs.

The same goes for Cheers.

It can do it to touch everyone's heart.

Especially for those who are older, they must be the most touched when they hear this song.

Of course, you can also understand that this song is a song about friendship.

Because there are pictures of different friends in the MV, not only that, but there are a lot of pictures of friends.

Classmates in school are friends;

The colleagues I met at the part-time job were friends;

Artists from the same company are friends.

For Chen Ming, it can also be said to be a song for friendship.

But aside from that, there are many other characters and characters in the MV, including family members and lovers.

There are too many characters who appear in the MV.

Originally, there shouldn't have been so many characters in the MV.

Because MVs are generally only three or four minutes long, the time is too short, and there are too many characters, and the audience will feel very chaotic and miscellaneous.

After all, a music video is not a movie, nor is it a TV series.

It doesn't give the screenwriter a lot of time to explain the background and introduce the characters.

Many times,

When the audience watches the MV for the first time, they need to guess and think for themselves.

What is the MV about?

Who are the characters who appear?

What do they do?

These problems need to be discovered by the audience themselves, rather than being explained by the screenwriter and shooting PD of the MV.

In this case,

The MV must pursue the simplest plot and the fewest characters to tell a more vivid and interesting story.

It can be said that

The MV for the song "Cheers" is actually quite risky.

Because it's so miscellaneous.

It wants to finish a person's life in just three minutes.

This in itself is a bold attempt.

Especially in 2011, when China Entertainment was full of flowers, the songs of other artists were not much worse than Mayday.

Fans in the entertainment industry may like Mayday today and other artists tomorrow.

So

There are good and bad attempts.

If you try to get it wrong, you'll lose a lot of fans.

But fortunately, the MV of this song is clear to many people.

Every character who leaves the country will give people a clear identity, real and clear feeling.

Life is long and short.

There are many people who have met, but there are also many people who have forgotten.

This song tells everyone to cherish the present moment and cherish everyone you meet now.

Because

Friends who know each other at this moment may end up getting weaker and weaker.

Fading until the person disappears into your world, disappears into your memory.

With the excellent MV and the excellent strength of the song itself, this song won the MV of the Year Award and the Best Music Video Award in 2013, the third year of its release.

It worked.

And his success also means that Mayday has succeeded.

Chen Ming still can't forget the first time he listened to "Cheers".

With the simple guitar sound of the intro and Ashin's unique articulation, Chen Ming played the song on a loop for a day.

To be honest, Chen Ming's favorite combination is Mayday.

He dreamed of going to a Mayday concert.

This kind of urgent mood is like Chen Ming in this world wanting to participate in Xiao Xuan's concert, and the feelings are the same.

Over the past few years, Chen Ming has forgotten a lot about things on Earth.

But every song of Mayday is remembered very clearly in Chen Ming's mind.

He also likes other entertainers.

But in contrast, Mayday is his faith.

When he came to this world, Chen Ming chose to use Mayday's "Contentment" to make a good start for himself, and when he was about to retire, Chen Ming hoped that Mayday would say goodbye.

This song, this MV, Chen Ming is very attentive.

The degree of care is comparable to the original filming of "Daxia Fenghua"!

Only he knew what it meant to him.

August 8th.

Chen Ming is looking forward to that day.

His current life is like the title of the album included in "Cheers", his second life.

The heat of midsummer is getting stronger and stronger.

The greening of Cloud City is very good.

In the summer season,

There are tall trees on both sides of each street in Cloud City, providing shade for pedestrians walking in the dark.

Even so,

Summer is still too hot.

There aren't many pedestrians walking around the streets, and people prefer to stay at home, blowing fans and turning on air conditioners.

On a hot and unsettling day, countless netizens waited for the release of Chen Ming's new song.

August 8th arrived.

Xingyu Entertainment actually didn't do much to warm up the promotion of the new songs, but the popularity craze caused by Chen Ming's new songs was too strong.

It is no exaggeration to say that

Chen Ming's current fans span five continents.

No matter which continent or even city, as long as Chen Ming's name is said, one out of every three people will be a fan of Chen Ming.

Some people like to listen to Chen Ming sing, and some people get into the pit by watching Chen Ming's films.

But no matter what,

At the moment, there is only one focus on fans, and that is Chen Ming's new song.

Today, the number of fans on Chen Minghua's blog has reached 2 billion.

Strictly speaking, Chen Ming's actual number of followers is more than that.

Because there are definitely people who don't play Huabo.

Or rather,

Many people look down on Huabo as a social platform.

This is similar to the idea that many people on the planet despise scarves.

This time, the release time of the new song is not three o'clock in the afternoon, but it is scheduled for seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time,

It happens to be the personal time of the vast majority of people.

Office workers have just finished work, and their school-going children have just come home from school.

Since it is "Cheers", it is natural to pick a time that is convenient for everyone, and be able to raise the glass and have a drink together.

This is Chen Ming's small vision.

It makes sense to listen to songs like this.
