Chapter 489 A Love Letter to the Filmmakers(1/2)
"The name of this song is very interesting. "Love Letter to Filmmakers", please invite Wang Xingrui!"
Even if Wang Xingrui knows that this song is the theme song of "Yi Yi", the main purpose of singing it here is to promote the movie.
However, she will not miss any opportunity to sing. Even if it is for promotion, she will sing well.
Like Lin Xuan'er, Wang Xingrui also used Lu Liwen's method before singing.
Emotion is the singer's simplest yet most effective weapon.
"do you like watching movies?"
That day, like today, was a rainy day.
The rain outside the window was pounding, and Wang Xingrui was sitting on the sofa, with a picture album spread out on her knees.
"Quite like."
Wang Xingrui raised her head and looked at Zhou Yiyang somewhat blankly, as if she didn't quite understand why he asked this.
"I like it too." Zhou Yiyang smiled: "There was a time when my life was very boring. Every day when I had nothing to do, I just stayed in the room alone, mixing domestic, foreign, new and old things.
I’ve watched all the movies. Every time I watch them, I feel that my boring life has become a little more fulfilling.”
"Really?" Wang Xingrui couldn't believe it when she heard it. Zhou Yiyang was not a rich second generation, but he found life boring. Then wouldn't her life be full of love?
"That's right." Zhou Yiyang lowered his head and glanced at Wang Xingrui's picture album, which seemed to be adapted from a novel she read. "Even the rich second generation can have spiritual pursuits."
"No wonder," Wang Xingrui nodded: "That's why Brother Yang can write so many good songs and interesting stories. But Brother Yang and I are still different."
"As long as I can remember, I didn't have much time for myself. When I was a child, I had to help my parents with farm work. Later, after I went to school, I had to do my homework very late. So watching movies and reading novels was very important to me back then.
, are all rare pastimes.”
"Then what do you think a movie means to a director?"
This question stumped Wang Xingrui.
She lowered her head and thought about it very seriously. After a while, she said: "Child? I have never made a movie, so I don't know much about it."
"To me, movies are the embodiment of every director's dream. You must have had all kinds of fantasies as a child, right? Movies help directors realize their dreams. Because in movies, any weird ideas
It can be realized, and people can see and resonate with it.”
After Zhou Yiyang said this, Wang Xingrui suddenly felt that the movie was so magical.
She had never thought about it from this perspective.
"The filmmakers," Wang Xingrui put down the picture album, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the window step by step: "They are a group of people who create dreams. They are really good."
"Yeah," Zhou Yiyang stood next to him and put his hand on the window that was still raining: "If this was a movie, the rain outside should stop immediately, and then a rainbow would appear."
Later, Wang Xingrui found out that Zhou Yiyang had chosen a song for her.
It's called "A Love Letter to Filmmakers."
I have to say, this name sounds very romantic.
And it is also the theme song of "Yi Yi".
It is quite an honor for Wang Xingrui to sing the theme song for Zhang Yingyuan's new movie.
"Brother Yang," Wang Xingrui found Zhou Yiyang again. "Can you tell me the story of a filmmaker?"
"A lot." Zhou Yiyang thought for a while and directly pulled Wang Xingrui into a group. "Just listen to it yourself."
That group is called [Fit Filmmaker Alliance].
It sounds very formal.
Zhou Yiyang then sent a message to the group: "Good brothers, our artist Wang Xingrui is going to sing a song for filmmakers. If you have any stories in the industry, you can share them with her."
As soon as these words came out, the group immediately became lively.
Wang Xingrui watched there all day, and later Tang Yue and the others came to join in the fun.
"Is this a movie group?" Tang Yue was stunned after reading thousands of messages: "Isn't this a story group? I thought I was watching "Story Club"!"
"They should all be true," Wang Xingrui explained for them: "At least some of them are true. But these stories are really too varied."
In the group, Wang Xingrui has seen touching stories and some bloody gossip from directors who don't know whether it is true or not.
There are even some stories about people with strange powers and deranged spirits, which are unreliable at first glance.
However, after reading so many stories, Wang Xingrui's understanding of filmmakers is no longer as cold as it was at the beginning, and is even a bit unfamiliar.
In each story, they grew flesh and blood and became living people one after another.
They are no longer superior directors, they are also ordinary beings. They also have troubles, perseverance, and shortcomings.
She was finally able to calm down and enter into the concept of filmmaker, which is a professional term.
When she walked to the stage, what appeared on the big screen were China's outstanding film clips, star-studded actors, and high-status directors over the past thirty years.
Some of them have disappeared, but because of a surprising glimpse in the movie, they are remembered by the world to this day.
Some of them have even passed away, but their works remain in the hearts of the audience forever.
As for Wang Xingrui, she is lonely on the stage.
There were no accompanying dancers, no harmonies, and no extra decorations, just her and a slightly cold light.
Today, she wore a violet lady's dress, a blue round hat, a veil on her face, and a black glove on her right hand holding the microphone.
Tonight, she looked like a retro actress from an old movie.
The audience screamed, and they didn't expect that Wang Xingrui, who had always taken the cute route, could change her style.
And she managed this outfit perfectly.
[Ruirui is so beautiful in this outfit. Her chubby cheeks match this outfit perfectly. She looks exactly like the person in the picture album.]
[In a daze, I thought the people in the movie had walked out. I discovered that Yuesao’s stylists are really awesome and can match them with beautiful outfits every time.]
[With the scenes behind it, people like me who love movies are really touched! Yue Shao is really sincere tonight!]
[I thought that all the major music platforms were dominated by Yue Shao, but I didn’t expect that the highlights of the New Year’s Eve party were all theirs.]
[Although I haven’t started singing yet, this intro is really comfortable!]
If there was a scoring system for Wang Xingrui's voice, it should be above 90.
This is a naturally good voice, an innate condition that Lin Xuaner envies extremely.
Her rich and powerful treble range allows her to sing many songs with ease.
In the mid-bass area, under the guidance of the teacher, Wang Xingrui changed her original pronunciation method and gained her own characteristics.
It can be said that in terms of skills, no one in China can fight at her age.
Emotion was originally her only weak link. But after meeting Lu Liwen, Wang Xingrui began to quickly make up for this shortcoming of hers.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the noisy scene just moments ago fell silent.
[How many people love the grace you left on the screen?
How many people love your independent attitude
The expectation of your eternal innocence
The helplessness of self-admiration]
There was heavy emotion in her voice.
It's like commemorating someone.
That person comes from a story written by Zhou Yiyang.
He was born in a small town.
The southern corner is somewhat closed.
But luckily, there is a movie theater in that town.
"It's not like today's modern cinemas with various halls. It's just one hall, and there's a person dedicated to showing movies."
The boy's master is the one who specializes in showing movies.
He stayed with his master and learned to play movies.
But one day, a fire destroyed the movie theater. The master lost his eyesight, and the boy took over his job.
Many years later, the boy became famous and became a film master.
What impressed Wang Xingrui the most was the movie that a boy, no, a man gave to the girl he once loved.
That really echoes what Zhou Yiyang said, the movie is a dream-making romance.
Even if the audience is not a filmmaker, they can still hear Wang Xingrui's emotion in her singing.
For those who like movies, listening to this song is a double enjoyment.
In addition to Wang Xingrui's smooth and sincere singing, those classic screen impressions on the big screen also evoked deep memories for them.
A movie often also carries a memory. When you see it, you will think of the person who once watched the movie with you.
