Chapter 53 Film Criticism
Li Xingruo's singing voice is very soft, but also very textured, with an ethereal timbre and a unique singing voice. When you first listen to the first line of the lyrics, you will already be immersed in your emotions.
Even Yu Ming was no exception. She stopped thinking about how to write a movie review and began to listen carefully.
As Li Xingruo sang, highlights from the movie that had just been played were playing behind the giant screen. Li Xingruo's singing seemed to be completely integrated into the image of the giant screen behind her.
The scenes behind the scenes seem to be designed to better arouse the audience's review of the plot just now.
Most of the people present are professional film critics or people in the film and television industry.
Most people's impression of this movie is superfluous, but actually they have similar thoughts to Yu Ming.
Qu Xueyan has made too many movies with this theme. Although the quality of the movie itself is good, it does have some aesthetic fatigue.
But when Li Xingruo's "Wish" was sung in front of the giant screen in the theater, the audience seemed to have returned to the same sense of immersion as they had when watching this kind of movie for the first time.
In the song "As You Wish", Li Xingruo started singing like a whisper at the beginning, and then slowly began to gain strength. As the emotion progressed, he sang the song as if telling a story.
Coupled with the plot on the giant screen, the atmosphere in the entire cinema gradually became tear-jerking.
"The mountains and rivers are fine, the fireworks are normal, but you can enjoy the view as you wish."
When Li Xingruo sang this line, all his emotions reached their peak at this moment.
"Children, sleep peacefully and dream sweetly, as you love so much."
As the chorus progressed again, Li Xingruo seemed to be singing this song with all his strength, with pride and sadness in his singing.
It seems to be saying: Have you seen it? We have now achieved the life you once expected. Today we live a happy life and our country is strong. No one can bully us anymore, and no one will ever have enough to eat or lack of clothing.
Warm, thank you for your efforts from generation to generation, this prosperous age is as you wish.
Li Xingruo's singing surrounded his ears, and the plot of the movie just now kept echoing in Yu Ming's mind. Even a senior film critic like Yu Ming did not hold back. His tear ducts seemed to be uncontrollable, and tears began to form in his eyes unconsciously.
Spin inside.
"When I meet you, my whole life will be as clear as your young face."
Towards the end of the song, all the emotions suddenly converged at the last moment, and the accompaniment began to gradually disappear.
Li Xingruo's last lyric completed the song's interpretation in an almost a cappella manner.
After Li Xingruo finished singing, the cinema was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It wasn't until Li Xingruo looked around, held the microphone in both hands and said thank you, and then bowed, that the entire audience stood up and gave warm applause.
Everyone present had tears in their eyes. Nothing could be more suitable for the movie "The Time of Our Fathers" than the idea of this song.
Because of this song, the originally indifferent audience was moved to tears.
To a certain extent, this song sublimates the movie.
The applause lasted for nearly half a minute. Qu Xueyan looked at the scene in the cinema and nodded with satisfaction.
Choosing this song was really the most correct decision he made for this movie.
I thought that Li Zhengrong wanted to come to his side to gain connections and support his daughter, but he never thought that he was taking advantage of his daughter Li Xingruo.
In fact, I also know that this kind of movie has been made many times, and the audience will be somewhat tired of it.
But Qu Xueyan had no choice but to refuse the official invitation.
Qu Xueyan actually doesn't have high expectations for this movie. He just hopes that the box office won't be lower than the previous one.
But Qu Xueyan looked at this format and felt that this song could bring a lot of blessings to his movie.
There was no guarantee that a miracle would really happen. Qu Xueyan began to look forward to it.
It seems that I owe a favor to Li Zhengrong, and that young man named Zhang Songnian has such a level of songwriting ability at such a young age.
He must find a way to write a theme song or promotion song for his next movie. Qu Xueyan silently made a decision in his heart.
Yu Ming's palms were already red. It wasn't until Li Xingruo stepped down from the stage and the applause in the cinema began to thin out that she stopped waving her palms.
There really isn't much to praise about this movie, and there isn't much to criticize either, because it has such a central theme, so if you watch it for the first time, you might be very moved.
But she had watched it too many times, until the song "As You Wish" played at the end.
This song has such a magical power that it makes people think about the characters, plots and scenes in the movie just now.
Yes, our ancestors used to work hard like this.
They used their own blood and sweat to irrigate the motherland, and only then did the motherland, which was riddled with holes, gradually grow up.
This has made our motherland strong and prosperous today.
Only then can our lives become rich.
Thinking of this, Yu Ming decided to overturn the content of the film review that she had just thought of and write a new film review.
After the screening ceremony, Yu Ming returned home as quickly as possible, then turned on her computer and started writing a movie review.
When she heard this song in the theater just now, she had a lot of things she wanted to say in her mind. If she didn't move faster, Yu Ming was afraid that she would forget.
Yu Ming's fingers were flying on the keyboard, and she wanted to complete this movie review as quickly as possible.
'Before I talk about this movie, I have to say that, to be honest, Director Qu Xueyan has made too many movies with this theme. When I first watched it, I didn't have any expectations, because I really didn't have any expectations for this kind of movie.
This type of movie has become aesthetically tired.
When the movie started, as I expected at the beginning, the plot of the movie was really difficult to impress me. I have indeed seen this type of movie too many times.
But it wasn’t until the end of the movie that I heard the movie’s theme song “As You Wish”.
I have to say that just because of this song, it is worth going to the cinema to watch this movie.
This song really touched me a lot. It was actually equivalent to recalling the plot of the movie in my mind when I listened to the song. The image was so strong that my heart was severely touched.
I recommend everyone to watch this movie, and be sure to watch and listen to the song "As You Wish" at the end.
For no other reason than to let everyone know a truth. Behind our international status and prosperity today is the selfless dedication and silent dedication of generations of ancestors.
It was they who used their youth, passion and life to write poems that moved the world and lit up the motherland's dream of a great nation. When we grow up, we will become our fathers, and everyone will become our fathers, and every father is worthy of respect.
Fathers are people who are willing to endure hardships so that their descendants can live a good life; parents are people who are willing to sacrifice for the happiness of their descendants.’
"Huh..." Yu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief after finishing writing the movie review.
Chapter completed!
