274 Soul Style

This time, the mv "better than Hallelujah" was once again handed down by Evan-Bell. This is also "just a dream". After the "crazy world", Evan-Bell directed mv for the third time. Similarly, Evan-Bell did not disappoint everyone.

Unlike the imaged story connection of "just a dream", the imaged narrative "better than Hallelujah" that is shot to the end, but adopts the simplest and most regular story order statement style.[]

mv tells a very popular story.

An old man was sorting out the warehouse, but found a letter from his former lover in an old letter. Memories were unfolded on the yellowed letter in his hand.

In 1953, the old man was still young. He had a sincere lover. The two had already talked about marriage. However, a military service summoning document made the young man leave his hometown and join the army.

At the beginning, the two people had letters, but due to the backward communication, the letters of the two people gradually became less.

In May 1955, he received his last letter from his lover, but at that time he had met a new lover in the battlefield and the two were ready to get engaged. After hesitating for a while, he put the letter into an iron box and never opened it again.

This past was forty-eight years, and it was not until today that the old man who returned to the lonely man came up with this letter again.

The old man did not open the letter, but just searched the picture according to the address on the letter, hoping to meet his old friend again. The address on the letter had long changed, and strangers lived. Under the guidance of the stranger, the old man went to the city hall again to ask about the current consultation of the person who lived at the address back then.

According to the guidance of the city hall staff, the old man found a cemetery.

The beloved person back then is now a pile of dust. Looking at the word "August 1955" on the tombstone, this is three months after he received the letter. He was in the new marriage month, but the old man was already separated by two. But when he saw the new man laughing, how could he hear the old man crying? The old man who was half in the loess had a heart of Qi Ran. Did he do it right or wrong?

In front of the tombstone, the old man sat on the ground and opened the letter. There was only one sentence inside, "Dear, you are going to be a father."

At this moment, the trembling hands could no longer control them, and the letter fell. Even if the tears were raining, so what? The lost mistakes were no longer possible.

Looking back, I returned to the distant May of the year. My former lover sat on the steps at the door with his stomach. The sun set, waiting for his lover to return. But until the night was overwhelming the earth, there was still no one in front of the door.

The story of this mv is very simple, even a bit cliché. Evan and Bell never appeared from beginning to end, but just used a few experienced actors. Only Evan and Bell's clear and sad voice whispered in his ears.

Evan and Bell basically use narration in MV, occasionally interspersing memories, but the whole article is filmed in black and white tones, and the only color is the yellowed letter. This seems to represent the connection point between 1955 and 2002. When the old man's tears fell on the yellowing sieve of the letter, it opened up a bunch of dizziness, making people feel sore noses.

This may be just a simple story, but Ekancao presented the story with the cleanest and neat shooting technique. The end of MV returns to the figure of a woman waiting for her fiance to return in 1955, which makes people cry. Combined with the lyrics of the song "Better than Hallelujah", we will find that the meaning of this story is profound.

In the face of regret, entanglement and sadness, a word of Hallelujah is never enough, because saying "Halelujah" can't help. Don't want to miss it, don't want to regret it, don't want to be sad, let go of your tight fingers, straighten your bent knees, put Hallelujah in your mouth into your heart, and take steps forward.

Only when life continues can there be some possibility of saving.

This MV is very consistent with the style of "better than Hallelujah", fresh and calm, but with lingering sorrow. There is no great joy and sorrow, but my eyes are wet without realizing it. As the music review said, "This is the voice from the spiritual hun."

Compared to the previous album "Yi" which is more spiritual and popular singing style, it also makes the media start discussing, is Evan-Bell's second album leaving the rock field that he is most familiar with and exploring new music styles? In the music industry, it is normal to cross the style, not to mention that it is still a new era where various styles integrate each other, but it is very strange to completely abandon the previous music style and launch new challenges.

However, Evan and Bell have only released a song "Better than Hallelujah". It is also possible that like the previous "Just a Dream", it is just a song that is a special song in the entire album, and other songs continue to have the rock style. The current speculation is that the media is entertaining themselves.

It can be seen that the media has paid great attention to Evan-Bell. With just a little bit of trouble, the media began to catch up. This was absolutely impossible last year. Judging from this small detail, we can also have a little understanding of Evan-Bell's current power in music.

Although Evan Bell is in a retreat and does not participate in the publicity, relying on the strong publicity efforts of the Grammy Awards Ceremony, the media will not let go of this good news. Now, the sales of MV launch "better than Hallelujah" have been relieved by Claire Days.

On the day of the announcement of MV, "beating Hallelujah" won another 80,000 sales. Three weeks after its release, the daily sales are still so amazing, and it is indeed booming. Relying on the promotion of MV, "beating Hallelujah" won the Billboard Singles Chart this week without any effort.

In the end, "beat Hallelujah," easily won the championship for five weeks on the Billboard singles chart, and became the single that has stayed on the championship throne for the longest time among Evan and Bell's seven singles, making the first shot for the second album.

In the first month, "beating Hallelujah" created 1.6 million sales. This result is infinitely close to last year's year-end champion "stopped at this moment" of 2 million sales. Moreover, this is not a calculation of the 1.3 million downloads on itunes. If the two aspects are superimposed, it would be 2.9 million, and this result could still be the runner-up the year before yesterday. Therefore, it is natural for the Music Industry Association to begin to pay attention to the commercialization of digital music.

After falling from the championship rankings, "beat Hallelujah" stayed in the runner-up position for a week, and then he stayed in the top ten until the end of October, spending 32 weeks in the top ten, with amazing results. Although 2002 just entered April, some media boldly predicted that "beat Hallelujah" would be a strong contender for this year's single sales rankings.

During Evan-Bell's retreat, in addition to the opening of "American Idol", the release of "fatal identity" of "better than Hallelujah" finally made substantial progress.

Since Evan and Bell went to the in-depth repair, Teddy and Bell took on the core responsibilities of contact.

Just received a call from David Greenblatt and learned about the latest situation in the American Actors Union. Teddy and Bell dialed James and Mangod's cell phone, "Hello, this is Teddy."

"Hey, Teddy, I was about to call you., James Mangod is a middle-aged man with a big beard and a slightly fat figure. Although when he first started to contact, he could more or less feel some of the genius' arrogance and withdrawal, but after a while, he felt much better. At least when he was talking on the phone, his tone was very relaxed and pleasant. "I have convinced Reliotta and Omanding Pitt to participate in the movie performance, and the pay was lower than the number you gave."

Upon hearing this news, Teddy and Bell were surprised, "That's really a good boy, I have good news here, Plutt, Taylor, Vince and John and Hux also agreed to star in it.

In this way, the cast has been almost ready."

Recently, David Greenblatt and James and Mangod acted separately, taking the list of six actors that Evan and Bell had come up with. While contacting these actors, they also searched for other suitable candidates through their respective channels.

Ray Liotta once showed his performance in movies such as "Good Guy" and "Silence of the Lambs 2". Because his appearance is both good and evil, he has a wide range of acting careers. Although he doesn't have many works, he always maintains a certain level. He will star in the role of "Police" Rhodes in the film.

As for Amanda and Pitt, who were born in countless supporting roles, whether it was David, Greenblatt, or James, Mangod, they didn't know much about her. Evan and Bell remembered her, but it was because she later starred in the role of the hero's wife in the disaster movie "2012". It happened that she was the actor who played the role of the prostitute Paris, the main four roles in "Fatal Identity".

Plutt-Taylor-Vins, who plays the role of Max, a 1900 best friend in "The Pianist at Sea", plays the protagonist McCann-Riveff, who is not the protagonist: This prisoner with eleven personalities: John-Hacks is the last of the four leading actors, the actor who plays the role of a motel manager.

In addition to these four actors, the other two names recorded by Evan-Bell were spelled incorrectly, and no suitable candidate was found for a while. Even so, relying on Evan-Bell's "Hide-Eye" film, the four main characters have been found, plus three friends Joseph, Gordon and Levitt, Ryan, Gosling and Nata Li

oTeman's joining, seven of them have been found.

“That couldn’t be better.

"James Mangod couldn't help laughing, "My crew is ready, and the remaining actors are found and you can start filming at any time.,...

"By the way, James, aren't you planning to shoot in the studio in a closed studio? Do you have a recommended film company?" Teddy Bell remembered the most important thing. "I mean, how big is the studio, which film company is more convenient to rent it?"!
