February 14, 2002, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

When Ning Hao had already begun to launch the final charge for the dream in his heart, Zhou Yi, who was wrapped in a big flower sleeping jacket in his hometown, had already put his hands in his hands and accompanied his parents out to eat together.

Don't ask why you wear this, ask is the standard during the Chinese New Year in rural Jiangxi.

Whenever the Chinese New Year comes, the three types of banquets, such as wedding banquets, housewarming banquets, and birthday banquets, can basically be said to be in an endless stream at the beginning of the first month.

When he was not famous before, Zhou Yi, who had to follow his parents back to his hometown and village during the Chinese New Year, basically ate the banquet from the third day of junior high school to the tenth day of junior high school.

Now that he has become a leader in the new generation of Chinese music, it is even more remarkable - the banquet arrangements have been directly scheduled to the 14th of the first lunar month.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to eat at his own house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the second day of the Lunar New Year was the day when his mother went back to his parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, Zhou Yi even suspected that the family would not have to cook without fire from the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

Of course, for Zhou Yi, even if he is wearing a big flower sleeping jacket, it is still difficult to hide his outstanding heroic posture - looking at the crowd, he is the most beautiful boy.

Several times at the wedding banquet, he almost sang "Happy Breakup" when he gave his blessings, all because he knew the outcome of the marriage of these couples in the future.

After several days of eating, an invitation to a party from his high school classmates finally freed him from the cookie-cutter menu.

"Happy breakup, I wish you happiness, you can find a better ~

"Three of a kind, the last five cards left."

In the KTV box, high school friends who have been gathering in their hometown every year since graduating from high school gather together. Zhou Yi, who was wearing an off-white turtleneck, threw off the three belts and two, stretched his waist comfortably, and proudly said: "Don't say I didn't say it." ”

"Fifty ks crushed."

Under the background music of other classmates still crying wolves, the man downstream of the card table hesitated for a long time, and finally bet that Zhou Yi didn't blow up in his hand, and threw down the hole card hidden at the end: "What song did you just sing?" Haven't heard of it, it's pretty good, a new song in a new album? ”

"No, the song in Liang Jingru's new album is called "Happy Breakup". The mainland should not have been released yet, and her new album was only released in Taiwan a week ago. ”

On February 7 last year, Liang Jingru of Rolling Stone Records released a new album "Sunrise, I Like It". Although the first week sales of the album are not as phenomenal as last year's Stefanie Sun and Xiao Yaxuan, they can be regarded as keeping up with the pace of the top two-

In the case that Stefanie Sun and Xiao Yaxuan both came up with big hit songs, a week after the release of "Sunrise, I Like It", the two songs in the album -

"I Like It" and "Happy Breakup" have appeared on the new song charts of major radio stations in Taiwan.

In the case that Liu Ruoying's focus has obviously shifted to the field of film and television dramas, Liang Jingru, who once again contributed two classic love songs, has a tendency to sit on the throne of Rolling Stone's new sister.

Putting aside the 1999 debut album that hit the street due to the lack of publicity due to natural disasters, since 2000 to the present, in terms of song popularity, she is indeed qualified to compete with Xiao Yaxuan, who has secured the position of the first sister of the Viking, and Yanzi Sun, who is charging towards the position of the first sister of Warner.

2000's "Love Is Not Two or Three Days" and "Courage";

2001's "Unconditionally For You";

2002's "I Like It" and "Happy Breakup".

Five hit songs in three years, Rolling Stone Records, which is going downhill, once again helped Liang Jingru hand over a full score answer sheet this year, proving that he is still there.

The on-demand rate and KTV rate of the new song "Happy Breakup" on major radio stations can be said to have soared, and it is fully qualified to compare with the golden song "Courage" at the beginning of the millennium in the white paper of the marketing department analysis of major record companies.

There are even good deeds that give Rolling Stone a bit of a sad atmosphere: fight against the existence of Zhou Yi, Warner + Viking + Fumao with their own strength.

At present, there are four young female singers in Taiwan, Xiao Sun Liang Zhang, who have the most vocalization and the most popular songs, and only Liang Jingru has not asked Zhou Yi to invite a song so far.

Rolling stones, hard!

"Ah Yi, Fumao also wants to invite the song, but it's not Zhang Shaohan, but Fan Weiqi invited it, do you want to accept it?"

February 19, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

After participating in various class reunions, Zhou Yi, who finally had time to play CS at home, received a call from Qianjiang, who had already started work, but this sentence directly stunned him: "Fan Weiqi? ”

"Fan Weiqi, who was shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer with you in 00, Fumao's, and Zhang Shaohan's good friend." I thought that Zhou Yi had forgotten this person's Qian Jiang reminded.

"Uh......"

Zhou Yi, who was shot to death by the slightest accident, sighed: "You just say I'm not available, after all, I'm quite busy now." ”

“…… What are you doing now? Qian Jiang, who heard the gunshots, had every reason to suspect that he was not busy at all.

"Oh, I'm looking for gunfire material for the music video for the new song."

“？？？”

Do you still need to find materials for this thing?

"I've preliminarily shortlisted the candidates for the MV director, do you need to come to the company to see their works? It's about your new album, after all. ”

“…… Okay. ”

After reluctantly bidding farewell to his family, on the 20th, Zhou Yi took a car to Changbei Airport in Nanchang and flew directly to the imperial capital by plane.

Then, on the 21st, when he came to the Warner Building, he saw Ning Hao's name and works in the list of candidate directors for the MV?

"This person graduated from Nortel's Department of Photography and won the best director at the Imperial Capital University Student Film Festival. I filmed a lot of MVs last year, including Tu Honggang's "Let Go" ......"

Seeing that Zhou Yi seemed to be more interested in this person, Qian Jiang dutifully stated the information about Ning Hao, and also put up the sample works he sent.

"Looks pretty good, that's it."

Zhou Yimo, who somewhat wanted to see if the fledgling Ning Hao and Jiang Wen would quarrel on the set, rubbed his chin, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and made a decision on him.

It's fun, who doesn't like to watch it.

"By the way, Ah Yi, have you finished writing all the songs in your three colleges? Hidden songs are included. ”

"I'm done, huh."

Zhou Yi handed a plan he had just bound to Qian Jiang, who took it, and after opening it, the concept of the album that caught his eye made his face gradually become a little solemn as a father.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi got up and poured himself a glass of water, smiled and lowered his head to take a sip.

In the three specializations, he used the expressions of time-travel, parallel time and space, and people in the play to form an album that shows the differences between people growing up in different family education and social environments.

Song 1: "Can you feel my world".

This song is actually a song written by Wang Leehom in 03 to accuse the former company of controlling and interfering with him very seriously, but because the lyrics are too much like accusing the controlling family to the perverted family, Wang Leehom has to come forward to clarify that his family is actually very happy.

Of course, here in Zhou Yi, this song has become a real accusation against his parents.

Zhou Yi, who is of mixed blood in the background, has become a member of the Italian mafia family in this song, his parents are gangsters who are so controlling that they are perverted, and the completely distorted family education also forces Zhou Yi step by step to be psychologically close to perverted, and only music can support him;

Song 2: "Ghosts".

One of Tao Zhe's in-depth works.

The lyrics of this song were originally an accusation that people's hearts are ghosts, and in Zhou Yi's MV plot synopsis, this song has become the sinister heart that Zhou Yi, who grew up in a distorted family since he was a child, encountered after entering the gangsters, and at the same time, it also takes into account the song's exposure of the dark side of people's hearts in society.

In the end, these "ghosts" in society, together with the parents in the family, forced Zhou Yi's already unhealthy psychology to collapse and completely distorted, making him become a "ghost" at the end of the song.

The third song: "Killer".

Lin Junjie's dark wind test is also the pinnacle.

Of course, because the original MV is obviously too bloody, Zhou Yi also modified the plot -

Inheriting the meaning of the previous song, Zhou Yi, who became a "ghost", became a killer in the mafia family world.

Psychologically distorted, he met a sunny girl who was still pleasing to the eye when he was playing the piano, and the time he spent with her was his comfort after every mission.

But at this time, the girl left him because she wanted to live a quiet life, and Zhou Yi, who had been psychologically distorted, even killed her in order to keep her, and stayed by his side forever.

After the foreshadowing of the first two songs, a twisted killer has taken shape.

Song 4: "In the Name of the Father"

The pinnacle of the Chinese language of the Italian gangster.

After inheriting the killer, Zhou Yi, whose status has risen, can no longer rely on music to obtain psychological comfort, so he sincerely walked into the church-

When his mood gradually calmed down, he even had the intention of quitting the rivers and lakes, and got married. As a result, he came back because his parents, wife and daughter, and other family members were killed one after another, and stepped into the position of godfather.

It's just that this time, after he became known as the godfather, there was only endless chagrin and loneliness left in his heart, and he even recalled his childhood.

At the end of the MV plot, after Zhou Yi, who has become the godfather, walks into the manor alone, the close-up of the camera is given to the TV - the TV screen without any picture flashes with snowflake textures.

Thus, the first chapter composed of the four songs of this dark wind is completed: a life that unfolds because of family education and the distortion of the social environment.

This is followed by the opening of the second chapter:

Song 5: "Mom and Dad"

Li Ronghao's pinnacle of writing family affection, unpretentious but penetrating lyrics have created this song that cannot be avoided when talking about Chinese family songs.

At the beginning of the MV picture, there is a TV set that also flashes with snowflake textures, and Zhou Yi, who is watching a movie at home, gets up and shoots the TV. After a similar picture to "In the Name of the Father" popped up on the TV screen, he received a call from his mother at home, saying that his father had an accident.

The lyrics of the whole song and the MV basically reproduce the process of a normal Chinese family raising children and getting along with them.

As the last song on the A-side, it is in stark contrast to the first song that represents a twisted family.

Song 6: Cheers

One of Mayday's masterpieces.

Inheriting the previous song, as a person who grew up in a normal family and social environment, Zhou Yi, who has graduated from college for several years, participated in the class reunion.

This also flashed back a lot of pictures from his college days, which just showed that Stefanie Sun was a college classmate with him, and there was also a material linkage with "Summer Blown by the Wind", and at the end of the MV, Stefanie Sun, who was still his girlfriend, came to pick him up when he was drunk.

Song 7: "Little Dimples"

Inheriting the last MV, the MV of this song is Zhou Yisun Yanzi pure sprinkling sugar, visiting temples to pray for blessings, watching costume TV series together, and so on.

Song 8: "Today You're Going to Marry Me"

Inheriting the last sweet song, this one goes further, Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi, who have moved into the wedding room, have already begun to prepare for the wedding, and have even begun to try on wedding dresses, and even the church has been chosen.

Song 9: "Fairy Tale"

In a sweet atmosphere, Yanzi Sun began to bleed from her nose during a kiss, and at first the two of them didn't take it seriously, and they went to the hospital for a check-up in a relaxed mood.

Until the arrival of the broadsword......

In the end, Zhou Yi, who was wearing a white suit, was playing the piano alone in the holy church, imagining that he and Yanzi Sun were holding a normal wedding, and the audience was full of relatives and friends who were sitting to congratulate the two.

Song 10: "Mr. Lonely"

One of the peak masterpieces of the singer Cao Ge.

In the synopsis of the MV, he said "I don't care", but in fact, since the death of Stefanie Sun, Zhou Yi has never been able to get out of the sadness of heartbreak.

With a rich heartbreak, it interprets the loneliness of a person from now on.

Finally, it is the easter egg that is used as the hidden song of the album - the eleventh song: "Fireworks are easy to cold".

The MV of this song just echoes the script and costume TV series that Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi watched together in the dimple, and the male protagonist Zhou Yi made a "Fireworks Easy Cold" according to Sun Yanzi's favorite "Luoyang Jialan" to miss her.

It not only continues the sad base of "Mr. Lonely", but also inherits the style of the major categories that has been passed down since "Flower Field Wrong".

Two families, two Zhouyi, two social growth environments, two lives - girlfriend (wife) and parents have all had accidents.

Although the reasons for the accident are very different, they all match the backgrounds of the two families.

In the end, a godfather who rises to power by slaughtering others begins to carry an endless cycle of sin;

A person who relied on self-regulation to get out of the shadows, benefited from a good education and growth environment, even if he was sad and died, he did not have any actions to cross the line, and he also relied on "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" to become a well-known singer, gradually stepping out of the psychological shadow and actively embracing a new life.

"The concept of your three specializations is...... Home education and social environment? ”

After reading the whole plan book, Qianjiang, who felt that Zhou Yi would not be too risky to play, was a little worried.

According to his experience, if the album concept is played like this, the sales are generally not too good.

"Don't worry, I know it."

Zhou Yi, who was leaning on the desk, smiled and held the cup and blew: "The sales will not be bad." ”

Just kidding, the B side is full of big hits except for a "Mr. Lonely" that ends with a high degree of difficulty (showing off skills), and "Fairy Tale" is the king of kings.

If this sales can be worse, he will simply jump into the Yellow River and become a hundred.

Moreover, as the biggest award in the domestic music scene, at next year's Golden Melody Awards, Jay Chou's "Octave Space" was not nominated for the award because it copied "Fantesi" in terms of production concept;

Tao Zhe's "Black Liuding" will also be disliked by the Golden Melody Award because of the insinuation.

And this is precisely the best time for him to rely on this concept album to sweep the Golden Melody Awards and become a god.

Whether it's a deep song in charge of the concept or a song in charge of the breadth of the song market, he has it all on this album.

Under this concept, even songs such as "Fairy Tale", which has always been criticized by many so-called "elites", have a corresponding conceptuality in the album.

They are no longer just bitter songs or sweet songs, but have been endowed with a layer of contrasting meaning to life.

"Then what's the name of your three specialists? Second Life? "Parallel Universe"? "The Man in the Play"? Qian Jiang, who didn't see the title of the album, asked curiously: "Or is it something else?" ”
