Chapter 31 I'm Sorry for Being Born a Human
"I once said I wouldn't smoke"
“It’s been inhaled into my lungs for years.”
"Once upon a time, dreams were innocent"
“Later, my mind was full of money.”
If this song was sung by a boy, these few lines would just be a flat tune.
But when the female singer sang, her voice was very low.
Compared to when boys sing, there is less visual and immersive feeling, but the heaviness is increased a lot.
An Lan's fans also quieted down and waved their glow sticks.
They thought it was a ballad.
“Every year on my birthday, I close my eyes and make a wish
How many of them can be effective?
People change, sorry~"
Liu Yiling's expression was very interesting at this time.
She already understood why An Lan wanted to sing this song.
On the one hand, it is to promote the movie, and on the other hand, it is to show off skills.
For boys, the tune of this song is very ordinary, but for girls, this song is perfect for showing off their skills.
An Lan has never demonstrated the breadth of her vocal range in the bass range before.
As a professional, Liu Yiling understood instantly that An Lan, with the high notes she had performed before and the "Sorry" she sang now, showed a vocal range of four octaves!
"Really..." Liu Yiling didn't know what to say.
Why do all the talents that a singer needs most appear in one person, An Lan?
It was as if all the talents that creators needed most appeared in Han Zhou.
The music industry may change from now on.
“It is said that life can be divided into nobility and nobility
But some people are born to be called Master
Some people can only look at the ground
When I look up, I see dirty faces.
Aspiring to be at the forefront of society
But always defeated by power
I’m sorry~”
The second paragraph, the high pitch part, is even higher than the first paragraph.
The lows are even lower than the first paragraph.
Naked show of skill.
Liu Yiling closed her eyes and counted: four octaves plus a third…
But non-professionals just stare at the words.
"I understand, Han Zhou and An Lan, you came to the semi-finals just to make us depressed."
"To be honest, I just heard about the existence, and I feel very uncomfortable. Now I want to smoke a cigarette."
"Thank you. I was lighting a cigarette just now and my dad saw me. He slapped me and then put the cigarette in his mouth."
"Is it possible that An Lan was born in a very tragic situation and finally made it to this day, so when she saw the lyrics, she wanted to sing it herself?"
At this moment, An Lan was very quiet on the stage, without any physical movements. She hummed in front of the microphone:
"I want to forget everything in the past
Be a layman who doesn't ask questions
Stay away from the crowds from today
Be a cunning fox
That day I folded my hands
Looking at my embarrassed self in the mirror
I spent half of my youth
To think about the principles of being a human being
I'm sorry for my younger self
Travel thousands of miles, never forget your original intention~"
An Lan on the stage sang softly: "Hey yeah hey yeah yeah~"
Few people have heard this kind of low chanting that sounds like a groan after being stabbed.
Many people felt that they were in pain when they heard that An Lan was in so much pain.
Most people, when hearing this chanting, do not feel pain, but feel that their mental state is not very good.
It seems that a feeling of powerlessness is spreading in my heart.
Even though the lyrics say to stay away from people and be a cunning fox, it makes people feel even more powerless when listening to it.
It was as if An Lan on the stage was saying 'Hey hey ~ useless ~'
No matter how you run, how you hide, or how you disguise yourself, you can't escape it, because people have to live in this world.
“It is said that life can be divided into nobility and nobility
But some people are born to be called young master~"
Yes, can people choose where they are born? There are always people who are born into rich families.
Twenty years ago, this line of lyrics would not have had much impact, because most people had no idea what a rich kid looked like.
But now, many people feel unwilling.
Because the Internet is so developed, everyone has seen videos of what life is like for rich kids and girls.
“Some people can only look at the ground
When I look up, I see dirty faces~"
"Do you think I want to see this?" Someone posted a comment: "I'm carrying a mattress weighing more than 300 kilograms on my back, how can I stand up straight? When I looked up, I saw her husband scolding her. I really want to stand up straight..."
Seeing this, emo netizens said: "Please go away..."
"Mad~"
"Lao Wang, what's her name? Let me see if I've been tricked."
The following reply is heartbreaking: "Don't watch it. When you suspect you've been tricked, you've already been tricked hundreds of times."
"I'm sorry for being born a human being."
"I smile every day. Guess how I am doing? Mask of Pain.JPG"
"Han Zhou is not in a good mental state, but he still dragged me into the water... My pants are wet..."
An Lan’s singing skills are so strong.
Where skills should be demonstrated, there won't be .
When it is time to invest emotion, a tremolo sound and the powerlessness of the tremolo making the audience's heart tremble.
Every lyric is like a sigh.
Sigh, sigh again and again.
This time, the pitch of the chanted "Hey Yeh Yeah" was much higher.
But there was no sense of power, it was more like someone was struggling, but the struggle was useless.
Because of the struggle, it's useless.
Because the struggle was so intense, the taunt of 'useless' was even more intense.
In the second half, many people were no longer focused on listening to the lyrics, but were instead caught in the silence that filled the screen.
The last chant of "Hey Hey Yeah" is also the one with the highest pitch.
However, the barrage was so quiet.
Until someone posted, “Sorry, my younger self.”
Then someone else posted: "No matter how hard I try to live, I end up becoming the person I once hated the most."
"I'm different from you. I don't feel that when I look up, I see dirty faces. I know that when others look up at me, they see dirty faces. I don't want to, I don't want to..."
When the music ended, Liu Yiling's voice brought people back to emo.
"You, sang a bass song?!"
Although it is not a bass throughout, the pitch of some words is indeed low enough to approach the limit for a female singer.
Liu Yiling was afraid that the audience might not understand, so she specifically gave this reminder.
No reminder is actually needed.
Because when she finished being surprised, the audience, who had come to their senses, burst into applause and screams.
"Goddess An, don't cry!"
"We're with you!"
"An Lan, those days were hard, right?!"
An Lan on the stage waited until the crowd quieted down before speaking: "You don't have to do this."
"I am the one who was born to be called Young Master."
"I sing this song not to pretend to be poor to gain sympathy, nor to play the victim, but because I like this song."
"By the way, a friendly reminder, Han Zhou said that after the previous "Psychopathic Song", he has not provided materials to friends in the short video website creation area for a long time. For this song, I look forward to everyone creating and editing videos."
An Lan's words stunned many viewers.
I originally thought that An Lan must have gone through a lot of hard times to be able to sing like this, and I almost cried.
Unexpectedly, An Lan said that she was the one who was born to be called Young Master.
This is even more heartbreaking and makes me want to cry. Why is that, Fei Si?
"Goddess An! Don't learn from Han Zhou! We are goddesses, don't learn from him and cause trouble!"
"Woo woo~ An Lan has been assimilated by Han Zhou."
"One percent Koreanization, five percent Koreanization, twenty-seven percent Koreanization..."
An Lan smiled: "Singers, sometimes singing is not what you want to sing, but you want to share something with your soulmates. I want to share this song with everyone, thank you."
…
Chen Xiaoyong turned and looked at Han Zhou: "Brother Han."
Han Zhou, who was writing "This Man Came from Earth", raised his head and said, "Hmm?"
When he looked up, Han Zhou saw Chen Xiaoyong in tears.
"Brother Han, when will your version of "Born to be Human" be released?"
Han Zhou scratched his head: "Hmm?"
"have no idea."
Chen Xiaoyong: “…”
Chen Xiaoyong didn't need to watch what happened next to know that no one could threaten Han Zhou and An Lan in the semi-finals.
The gap is too big.
There is a huge gap between Han Zhou and others in terms of talent.
When it comes to singing skills, An Lan and the others don't seem to be from the same planet at all.
Now Chen Xiaoyong only wants to listen to Han Zhou's version of "Born to be Human".
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaoyong opened Weibo and took a look.
At this time, the term "Born to be Human" has appeared on the hot search list.
When I clicked on it, two Weibo posts appeared.
The first one was released by Yanjing TV, the video "An Lan is Born to Be a Human, Pure Enjoyment Version".
The second one is the "Hello Mr. Tree Trailer - Born to be Human" released by Tianle Films.
Chen Xiaoyong clicked directly on the second video.
While watching and listening, I saw more and more comments below.
Every message is emo.
Every one of them hurts.
This trailer fails to reveal the core of "Hello Mr. Tree", which is Han Zhou's acting skills.
But you can see that he is very sad and powerless.
As a photographer, Chen Xiaoyong did not analyze the language of the lens for the first time, but followed the lyrics and looked at the picture.
It's like a song MV.
Han Zhou's voice was lower than An Lan's.
When we made this video, it was not a promotional video or trailer at all.
Instead, he edited a MV using the movie footage.
The pictures basically correspond to the lyrics.
Although the scale of film and television works in this world can be very large, there is still censorship.
Now, Wang Xiya is going to release "Hello Mr. Tree". He has contacted many people and finally got it approved on an expedited basis.
Just to catch up with New Year's Day.
So this MV was released as a teaser film.
There is no storyline to be told, just simple MV images to match the song.
Why catch up with New Year’s Day?
Because it was exactly one week after the final of "Tomorrow's Superstar".
Wang Xiya had already discussed it with An Lan's parents and planned to work together on this film.
What Wang Xiya wanted was the success of her first movie after accepting Tianle.
As long as there is a good box office and some awards, it will be a success.
An Lan's current popularity and Han Zhou's popularity are both unexpected boosts to this movie.
Wang Xiya knew that a movie of this theme would not be able to have a high box office, even if the acting was superb, because casual moviegoers would only watch it once and would not be able to understand what the director was trying to say.
Because the purpose of most movies is to tell a good story.
So what casual moviegoers want to see is a good story.
But "Hello Mr. Tree" happens to be a unique movie that does not tell a story but rather tells the atmosphere, which is quite special.
Plus, the atmosphere isn’t festive but rather depressing, so it’s easy for the film to tank at the box office.
But An Lan and Han Zhou's current popularity in "Superstar of Tomorrow" just happened to give "Hello Mr. Tree" another fan group. In addition to passers-by fans, "Mr. Tree" is like a movie starring young actors, and there are celebrity fans to watch it!
When "Superstar of Tomorrow" comes to an end, it will be the time when Han Zhou and An Lan will sweep the hot search list. With the presence of An Shengnan and Liu Jianxi, this is inevitable.
Since An Lan has chosen this path, Liu Jianxi must pave the way for his daughter.
In addition to being a singer, being an actor is also very important.
If it was a low-quality movie, Liu Jianxi would not dare to promote it in a big way. However, although "Hello Mr. Tree" is not a commercial film, it will definitely not be rated low by professionals.
So Liu Jianxi had to publicize it on a big scale.
When the controller of the biggest record company in the industry and the owner of the top ten film and television companies hit it off, the popularity is inevitable.
Chen Xiaoyong came back to his senses after a long time: "Brother Han, this MV is not as emo as the movie itself?!"
Han Zhou raised his head: "Yeah."
Chen Xiaoyong: "A movie is still a movie. The MV cannot show the atmosphere of the movie. I wonder what will happen to these people who are expressing their emotions crazily after watching the movie?"
Han Zhou: "After watching the movie? Of course, you leave the cinema."
Chen Xiaoyong: “…”
Han Zhou: "Oh, Er, I'm going to Yanjing to prepare for the finals. You stay in the company recently, take care of things while trying to find someone who can be an assistant director. When I come back, we'll start filming our first movie for New World Entertainment."
Chen Xiaoyong: “???”
"So soon? Many things haven't even started to be prepared yet!"
"I'll go to Yanjing to make preparations." Han Zhou said.
