Coming out of the 4S store, a few people drove two cars and drove a few laps around the outer ring to familiarize themselves with the performance of the car, and then went to the recording studio.

Chen Mo picked up his mobile phone and found Director Zhang's phone, and then asked Director Zhang about the relevant requirements for Director Zhang's TV series theme song, and then chatted about Director Zhang's TV series plot in detail.

Director Zhang's film mainly tells such a story: in the early spring of 1974, Jingqiu, who was in high school, was selected by the school to participate in the editing of new textbooks, and she had to go to a place called Xicunping, interview villagers, and then write the village history into textbooks for the middle school students of the No. 8 Middle School in K City, where she lived. On the way to Xicunping, the village chief introduced Jingqiu to a hawthorn tree with red flowers.

Jingqiu was arranged to live in the village chief's house, and Jingqiu learned that the third son of the Zhang family worked in the exploration team, and the first meeting with him began when Jingqiu heard the beautiful sound of the accordion, playing Jingqiu's favorite Soviet song "Hawthorn Tree". Jingqiu was immediately attracted by the sound of the piano, and couldn't help but fantasize about the appearance of the violinist.

What appeared in front of Jingqiu's eyes was a handsome-looking young man. For some reason, Jingqiu suddenly began to become extremely flustered.

Back at the village chief's house, as soon as everyone introduced him, Jingqiu learned that the third child was not the son of the village chief, his name was Sun Jianxin, but he had lived in the village chief's house for a period of time before. Gradually, the third child and Jingqiu became familiar with each other, and often came to her during the lunch break to chat with her. A few days later, Jingqiu was going to take turns to return to K City, and in the evening, the third child quietly left her a message and made an appointment to wait for her on the mountain at eight o'clock the next day. Jingqiu was secretly excited. When they broke up, the third child suddenly proposed to go to K City with Jingqiu, but Jingqiu didn't agree, and only promised to let him pick her up in the county the next afternoon.

A day later, Jingqiu hurried home from K City, but she didn't expect the car to break down halfway, and she had been waiting for her for a long time when she arrived at the station. The two took advantage of the night to return to Xicunping, and the third child took Jingqiu's hand. When passing by the hawthorn tree, the third child proposed to sit under the hawthorn tree, but Jingqiu remembered the phantom in the white shirt again. The third child lied to her that the ghost came out and held Jingqiu in his arms.

Jingqiu felt that this was not good, but she was reluctant to leave, she only felt very down-to-earth. The third child took this opportunity to get Jingqiu's first kiss. The relationship between the two later had several twists and turns, and Jingqiu also died of her heart for the third child.

One day, a People's Liberation Army came to the school to find Jingqiu, claiming to be the younger brother of the third child, and came to pick up Jingqiu to see him for the last time. He told Jingqiu that the third child had leukemia, and because he wanted to see Jingqiu for the last time, although he had stopped taking medication and stopping rescue, he still couldn't close his eyes.

Only then did Jingqiu know that the third child was actually in K City and had been secretly caring about Jingqiu. Jingqiu came to the hospital and saw the third child who was dying, she shouted and touched his eyes. His eyes finally closed, and two tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

The third child left, and according to his last wishes, his body was cremated and buried under the hawthorn tree. The title page of the third child's diary reads: "I can't wait for you for a year and a month, and I can't wait for you to be twenty-five years old, but I will wait for you for the rest of my life." "

Jingqiu, played by Qiao Qian in the story, is a simple, well-behaved, strong and reserved girl. At that time, she had been living in depression because of the family component. In addition, her mother's health is not good, and she needs to buy rock candy and walnuts to cure her illness. But Jingqiu's family is destitute and life is stretched.

The book describes: "Jingqiu's house really has nothing, the house is surrounded by walls, the table is the old school desk, the stool is the old stool used by the students, and the bed is the school's long bench with a few wooden planks. The sheets and quilts on the bed were clean, but they were all mended. The bowl for eating was in an old washbasin, and the cutting board was a converted desk. "

Even Changlin, who came to visit, couldn't help but ask: "Why is your family poorer than our people in the mountains?" "

Faced with the hardships of life, Jingqiu did not complain about the injustice of fate, but silently tried her best to survive. She pulls carts, transports distiller's lees, and stirs cement for too much rough and heavy work, and she picks it all up at the same time.

Jingqiu's kindness and tenacity have won everyone's care and love. Not only the third child, but also Changlin, Zhang Yi, and her younger daughter-in-law all extended a helping hand to her. Under such repression, it is easy to form an inferiority complex and timid character.

And Jingqiu's mother is still in the stage of being transformed, so she not only asks herself to be cautious in her words and deeds, but also applies this caution to her. She will always teach Jingqiu to pay attention to her words and deeds. Under such traditional discipline, Jingqiu will naturally form a simple, well-behaved, and self-conscious personality.

So when Jingqiu met the third child, even if there was a throbbing in her heart that she had never felt before, she quickly suppressed her feelings. is also because of the influence of Jingqiu's background, she always feels inferior and feels that she is not worthy of the third child, or that she is not qualified to accept the third child's kindness to her, and she is full of insecurity.

And the third child played by Xiao Xiaodong in the story has a great contrast with Jingqiu's image. The father of the third child was the commander of the military district. Although he was affected during the Cultural Revolution, he was quickly reinstated, but his mother was killed by rumors and committed suicide.

In such a family environment, the third child did not form an arrogant and domineering character. On the contrary, he is very attentive and considerate. Where does such care and thoughtfulness come from? It comes from his reading, from his upbringing.

The third child loves literature. He read "Jane Eyre" and "John Christopher", and literature gave him not only sensual pleasure, but also spiritual cleansing and edification. The books and school experience that the third child came into contact with made him develop a humble and elegant temperament.

Coupled with what happened to the third mother, it can be seen from the book that when he talks about his mother, he shows that kind of regret and regret, which shows that he has great respect for women. For example, the third child can wash the sheets and feet for Jingqiu, and get along with Jingqiu with affection and courtesy, which shows his respect for women. As for the immature behavior of the third child, Freud gave an example: "A person who is in a state of extreme anger often shows how the pent-up instinct of aggression allows him to transition to self-sabotage.

That is, to turn his anger into aggression against himself, he will pull his own hair or punch himself in the face, although he obviously prefers to inflict this method on others. Jingqiu's suppressed love also stimulated his immaturity to a certain extent.

Chen Mo communicated with Director Zhang for a long time before gradually determining the theme song of this movie. Chen Mo plans to use the singer's indifferent movie of the same name, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Chen Mo feels that only the indifferent one is the most suitable for the movie, and any other song is not suitable.

Soon, Chen Mo started to recall the score of this song, and then tried to record the sample with everyone in the recording studio.

"That day, that year

The vow of that beautiful bloom

It becomes an unforgettable past

Flowing through the field of hope and waiting

That was the day and that year

The flame of youthful bloom

It burns life and faith

But it can't warm the lonely thoughts

We fell in love under the hawthorn tree

Only once in this life

If you can hold hands in the next life

I am willing to sacrifice with my life"

In fact, Chen Mo's voice is not suitable for this song, but Chen Mo still insists on recording this song completely, not for anything else, just to let Director Zhang have a reference.

"Director Zhang, the song sample is almost finished, and it has been sent to your mailbox, wait for you to check it, by the way, I have to tell you, in fact, my voice is not suitable for singing this song, I think you should find a clean and crisp male voice to interpret this song, and you have to substitute more feelings when interpreting, I personally think that only by completely substituting feelings will the perfect and pure love of the era of the movie be perfectly interpreted." After Chen Mo sent the recorded song sample to Director Zhang's mailbox, he called Director Zhang to talk.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll listen to it later, in fact, I also have an idea in my heart, but I haven't found the expected theme song in my heart after looking for so long, knowing the style of your ballads, I realized that what I lack is not a song, what I lack is to be able to express the story in songs."

"I hope the song can be affirmed by Director Zhang, then you go listen to it first, and then go back and find a singer to sing it again." Chen Mo said happily that his songs can be recognized and recognized by the big director, and Chen Mo feels very honored.

Here, after hanging up Chen Mo's phone, Director Zhang called the secretary to call Xiao Xiaodong, Qiao Qian and other actors, and also called the screenwriter, planning, assistant director and others over, at this time they were busy with the follow-up release of the movie, so they were all together, and they all happened to be called.

opened the mailbox, Director Zhang downloaded the song sample, opened the player and played it.

"That day, that year

The vow of that beautiful bloom

It becomes an unforgettable past

Flowing through the field of hope and waiting

That was the day and that year

The flame of youthful bloom

It burns life and faith

But it can't warm the lonely thoughts

We fell in love under the hawthorn tree

Only once in this life

If you can hold hands in the next life

I am willing to sacrifice with my life"

Chen Mo's low and hoarse singing voice sounded, and it immediately brought everyone into that era, before the reform and opening up, and under the hawthorn tree. A man and a woman under the tree hugged each other because of a little joke, and the story of love between them began. This hawthorn tree bears witness to their love, and they have also left a beautiful vow under this number. It is also this hawthorn tree that witnesses their separation and their regrets in this life.

Director Zhang and everyone were listening to the song quietly, no one made a sound, they listened to it over and over again, not because of how well Chen Mo sang, but just because of Chen Mo's song, which allowed Director Zhang to bring himself into the story of this song, or rather, this song completely shows the story to be interpreted in the movie perfectly.

In the context of the impetuous modern era where love can be speed-dating, love becomes a game, and marriage may be betrayed, this movie, this song, seems to have become a mirror, allowing people who are running around in the fast pace today to see the pure love and diluted feelings in their hearts, this is the love song that Director Zhang wants to express through this movie, Director Zhang feels that Chen Mo has completely captured his heart and grasped what he wants to express.

In the end, Director Zhang led everyone to listen to this song several times, and after discussing it with everyone for a while, it was decided that no matter what, this song must be used as the theme song of the movie, and then arranged for everyone to continue the follow-up editing and filming of the movie, and dismissed everyone.
