On August 14, the situation that many people expected that "Love" was exploded did not happen.

Because the news that "Police Story" will release the theme song of the movie has stimulated many fans, just like when they listened to "The Myth of Beauty" and went to download "Love You" again, this time they also ran to download "Love".

So in the end, "Love" stabilized the second position with a slight advantage of more than 5,000 downloads of "Chasing Love", but it was also closer to the first place.

At eight o'clock in the evening on August 15th, when "Love" was only ahead of "Chasing Love" by 200 downloads, the promotional song of "Police Story" sung by Li Shenlong himself was launched on time.

Because this is the prime time, at least one-tenth of the 20 million fans on Li Shenlong's Twitter have clicked on the MV, and many passers-by, and even many people in the entertainment industry are full of curiosity and have entered the Dragon Country Music Network.

"The Lonely Brave"?

Listening to the name, it is quite in line with the profession of a police officer.

At the beginning of the MV, there is an alley. The camera is an oppressive gray-black, and soon a sound of footsteps can be heard in the distance in the silence.

At this point there is a big subtitle scrolling:

Director Tang Huanan, lyricist and composer Squirrel, singer Li Shenlong......

After the subtitles, Li Shenlong appeared in the camera. The old jacket, messy hair, and a scar on his face made him look a little fierce with a national character face.

At this time, there was no music playing, and many people were amazed by the texture of the picture, and then looked at the duration, which was a full ten minutes.

Isn't it, did Li Shenlong and Tang Huanan, the golden pair, shoot the MV as a movie?

Or was this originally a fragment of Police Story?

In the MV, a woman, that is, one of the heroines of "Police Story", the first-line movie star Zhang Man is haggard, dressed plainly, and walks towards her with a vegetable basket.

When the two passed by, they seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, and Zhang Man, who glanced at Li Shenlong, suddenly changed his face and reached out to grab Li Shenlong.

Li Shenlong, who originally lowered his head after seeing Zhang Man, had to turn his head to look at Zhang Man.

"Shenlong, you're back!" Zhang Man was overjoyed.

Li Shenlong shook his head: "Eldest sister, you recognize the wrong person, I am not Li Shenlong, my name is Zhang Liang." ”

"No, no, no, it's you, Shenlong, how could I not know you!

You suddenly walked away a year ago, do you know that your mother suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage because she missed you, and now she is still lying in bed, talking about you every day.

You come home with me, maybe my mother's illness will be cured. ”

Zhang Man burst into tears as he spoke, desperately dragging Li Shenlong's arm.

A look of pain flashed on Li Shenlong's face, but he quickly returned to normal, and ruthlessly threw Zhang Man's hand away, and said, "Eldest sister, you really recognized the wrong person." ”

Zhang Man was so sad that tears rained down, and begged: "Shenlong, are you hiding something from me?" You tell me, I'm your wife, I miss you so much! ”

Li Shenlong's eyes changed, and he was obviously a little soft-hearted, but he still said viciously: "Stinky woman, get out, are you talking well and can't listen?" ”

Then he pushed Zhang Man away, walked to a garbage can, took out a cigarette and smoked it, and then threw the empty cigarette case into the garbage can.

In the end, he looked back at Zhang Man, who was still wiping tears and looking at him stupidly, and when he turned his head, Wei'an's body walked towards the darkness in front of him without hesitation.

At this time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, but in the thick black fog, there was a ray of sunshine, which was about to break out.

A pair of hands appeared and picked up the cigarette case, which contained an irregular string of numbers......

The prelude to the song sounded, and soon Li Shenlong's strong voice sounded:

"It's all brave, the wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you make......"

The scene turns, and a policeman in a police uniform is sitting on the ground with his head bleeding from his head, and a colleague next to him is wiping his wounds.

Then there is a series of numbers presented on the screen with the singing, which is the year 2022, the exploits of the anti-narcotics police. How many drug dealers were arrested, how many D products were seized, and how much drug money was confiscated.

"They say, with light, tame every monster ......"

In the MV, there are scenes of police officers fighting fiercely with drug dealers.

"I love you walking alone in the dark alley, love the way you don't kneel, love you for confronting despair ......"

A series of black-and-white photos flashed from the frame, with their names underneath, and the unified title of "Dragon Country Anti-Narcotics Police".

"I love your tattered clothes, but dare to block the gun of fate......"

There are children crying goodbye to their fathers, elderly mothers banging their heads against coffins, and white-haired people sending black-haired people......

"To the whimpering and roaring in the night, who said that the one who stands in the light is the hero!"

A platoon of police officers even took pictures with their backs, and they put mosaics on their backs.

Subtitle tip: For the safety of yourself and your family, and for the sake of beware of the most vicious drug dealers, please forgive them for saluting behind your back.

……

"I knelt and cried on my knees!"

"You think it's a music video, but it's actually a micro-movie; You think it's a micro-film, but it's actually a documentary! ”

"This song exploded, not to mention the new song list in August, it is the annual hot song list, it is not in the top three, it is all shady!"

"When I first heard the prelude, it felt dark and weird, but thinking about darkness and death, isn't that what it smells like?"

"I used to feel that Brother Long was singing with emotion, but now I feel that he is using his life to interpret this song "The Lonely Brave"."

"Like the 'whimper' in my throat, the 'roar' with a crying voice made me burn directly, don't think about sleeping tonight."

"We are doing well because someone is carrying the weight for us. Not only policemen, but also soldiers, firefighters, doctors, teachers, salute you! ”

……

"The Lonely Brave" slaughtered the net.

Just like on the planet, there are hundreds of millions of playbacks on the same day, 7.2 billion playbacks in half a year, and the comments of any mainstream music media are 100,000+.

Even the god of song himself didn't expect that this song would become his pension insurance, and he could make money lying down in commercial performances for the next twenty years.

The most terrifying thing is that this song breaks the musical boundary between adults and children, causing some netizens to ridicule:

"My children have never been so serious about endorsements", "I listened to it enthusiastically, and it turned out that it was a children's song", "You have to chat with children, if you don't say a word to the lonely brave, they won't pay attention to you".

In fact, the song "The Lonely Brave" is the theme song of a game movie, and it can be so popular because the song is really good; the second is because it is sung by the god of songs; The third is because the marketing is too powerful.

Originally, it was said that the protagonist's indomitable spirit was planted, but through various video editing, it turned into a praise of positive energy.

And what is successful must be carried forward.

In Tianqiu, Xu Song took advantage of the gimmick of "Police Story" and Li Shenlong's huge reputation, and also used the documentary-style MV of "positive energy" to elevate the song to the realm.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, "The Lonely Brave" set a record.

In just three hours, it rushed into the top five of the new song list in August, and the whole network was shocked and jubilant.

The two topics of "The Lonely Brave" and "Police Story" instantly landed in the first and second places on the hot search list.

Then, every step of "The Lonely Brave" is the first step of the record.

At one o'clock in the morning on August 16, it ranked fourth on the new song list.

At three o'clock in the morning, "Chasing Love" exploded and rose to third.

At four o'clock in the morning, "Love" was not spared, giving up the second position.

At five o'clock in the morning, it topped the new song chart with 1.6 million downloads.

Take June as an example, it took a month for "You at the Same Table" to get the second place on the new song list with 1.8 million downloads.

And "The Lonely Brave" has 1.6 million downloads without using it for a day.

It can be imagined that after a night of word-of-mouth fermentation, coupled with the effect of publicity, what kind of frenzy will be ushered in during the day today.

On August 16, one of the two most popular posts:

"The music industry was completely defeated by the film industry, and more than a dozen singers and queens didn't do it, let one actor do it!"

There are more than 200,000 comments below, and both sides have their own opinions and fight together.

In the end, it was a post that interrupted the debate.

"The song was sung by Brother Long, but who wrote it? Does a squirrel belong to the music or film industry? ”

Xu Song's name is known to more people.

Second post:

"The Lonely Brave, which seems to be 'not outstanding', why is it so popular?"

There are also more than 200,000 reviews, and of course there are quite a few negative* reviews.

"I thought it was hard to listen to the first time, it should be Li Shenlong's appeal that makes this song so popular!"

"In addition to "Beautiful Myth" and "The Lonely Brave", what other songs can Li Shenlong have that can become popular?"

"It's earthy and incomprehensible, and it's not at the level of a squirrel at all."

"Don't be grandiose upstairs, the results speak for themselves."

"Moaning without disease, hearing loss, destroying the brain."

"May I ask upstairs, can the song you like not reach the top of the new song list in a day?"

"Your Excellency's brain is indeed ruined, so only the cerebellum is left, and it is so small."

Soon after, a post was pinned by the UP master because of the number of likes.

This is written by a top student of the Beihuang Conservatory of Music:

"Leaving aside singers, songwriters and marketing methods, I will analyze why "The Lonely Brave" is accepted by so many people from a semi-professional perspective.

Musically, it's not great, but its arrangement fits the lyrics perfectly.

The first main song, using only the sound of the piano, is to present the immediate sense of 'loneliness', followed by the appearance of electric guitar and drums, which is to render this loneliness layer by layer.

Even the brave policemen have 'go?' War? So Bridge's falsetto, like the light in the dark, makes people more determined.

There's also the catharsis that follows the second chorus, 'Go? Is it worthy? War? Battle! Normally, the front and back should be a low octave and a high octave to create a strong contrast.

But Brother Long didn't have such good singing skills, so he switched to angry sounds. But the effect is surprisingly good. I'm sure many people, like me, were completely ignited here and got goosebumps all over their bodies!

So, you can say that "The Lonely Brave" is not good, but you must not say that it is bad. After all, a work of art is meant for the general public, and the more people like it, the more successful it is. ”
