Listen to a melody and watch an old movie

Writer: Qingyan Manchester City

Perhaps because people are getting older, remembering the past has become a habit. Of course, it’s not necessary to revisit those classic old dramas and movies. Even when a beggar sitting on the street corner plays an ordinary song on a very retro radio, it can bring back memories of a generation. I wonder if you feel the same way.

I have been watching old videos recently, probably because I am using NetEase Cloud Music, and I came up with the idea of ??sorting them out. There is no rule, I will update it when I have time, and maybe I can find someone who is interested here.

"Flowers of the Motherland" is the first campus-themed children's feature film in New China produced by Changchun Film Studio. It is directed by Yan Gong, written by Lin Lan, and starred by Zhao Weiqin, Li Xixiang, Zhang Yunying, Zhang Yuan, etc. Starring, released in 1955.

I swear, I have never seen this movie. However, the song in this film is too familiar, because this song has been throughout my childhood. At that time, I was studying in a private primary school in Shandong. Because the teachers were not qualified, almost all the teachers in the music class were taught. This children's song was also taught by all the teachers in the subject. Moreover, every morning There was also a music committee member singing in front of me, which was hard to forget. By the way, it’s a repertoire for every Children’s Day. After all these years, I wonder if those born in the 2000s are also so familiar with this children’s song, a classic melody and an eternal childhood memory.

The same type includes "Little Swallow", which comes from the episode of the feature film "Nurse Diary"; "We Are the Successors of Communism", which comes from the theme song of the feature film "Hero Xiaobalu".

"Lotus Lantern" is an animated film produced by China's Shanghai Art Film Studio in 1999. It is directed by Chang Guangxi, Wu Yigong is the art director, Wang Dawei is the screenwriter, and Jiang Wen, Ning Jing, Chen Peisi, Xu Fan and others participated in dubbing.

This song has been widely sung in China since 1999 and is one of Zhang Xinzhe's more influential works in the mainland; it won the Shanghai Star Century Top Ten Golden Melody Award in 2000

Due to Most of the film's audience is teenagers, so the "love" in the title of this episode refers more to the family affection between mother and son and the friendship between friends, rather than love. Although the theme of this song hovers on the edge of love and family affection, it still does not prevent it from becoming popular all over the country.

The movie "Sweet Honey" was directed by Peter Chan, starring Maggie Cheung, Leon Lai and Eric Tsang, and was released in 1996.

1996 was the eve of Hong Kong's return to China, and it was also the year after the death of Teresa Teng, a generation of singers. With the help of this special era background, the film tells the story of the difficult years of new immigrants from Hong Kong in the late 20th century. It uses Teresa Teng's song "Sweet Honey" throughout, successfully capturing the mutual feelings of Chinese people in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. The plot of the film begins in 1986 and ends on the day of Teresa Teng's sudden death in 1995. Against the background of the immigration wave in China, the historical changes of the ten years before Hong Kong's return to the motherland are shown through the fate of small characters.

The film won nine awards at the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Feature Film at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and Best Film at the Seattle International Film Festival in the United States. In 1997, it was rated second among the top ten best films in the world by Time Magazine in the United States. In 2009, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a special film exhibition was held at the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University, which analyzed the movie "Sweet Honey" in detail. In 2013, the restored version of "Sweet Honey" was selected for screening in the classic section of the 70th Venice International Film Festival. The restored version was released in mainland China during Valentine's Day on February 13, 2015.

I saw my grandpa using an old old radio, the kind that used tape. The radio has been used for many years, but the quality is very good. Every time I go to give him something, I will always see him sitting in the rocking chair, playing Teresa Teng's songs. Over the years, the habit has never changed. Teresa Teng is the Teresa Teng of a generation and the Teresa Teng of eternity.

"Star Wishes" is a love movie produced by Golden Harvest Film Company. It is directed by Ma Chucheng, written by Luo Zhiliang and Yang Qianling, and stars Ren Xianqi, Cecilia Cheung, Su Yongkang and others.

At that time, there were not so many "little flowers" in the film and television industry, plastic surgery was not popular, and the movie market did not have such films that could be watched at one glance without paying attention. After all these years, when I think of Cecilia Cheung, I can rarely think of her. But this song makes me think of her whenever I hear it. Not only is it popular all over the country, but its slow melody can evoke true feelings.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a literary film produced by Tomson Film Co., Ltd. The film is adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name. It is directed by Chen Kaige, written by Li Bihua and Lu Wei, and stars Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, and Zhang Fengyi.

If you need to give some reasons to like him in this film, there are really too many. Written by Li Bihua, directed by Chen Kaige, Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, all the people who can shock the entire film and television industry are gathered together because of this drama. You said, which one of these people has not relied on their solid skills to gain a foothold in the film and television industry?

Let’s talk about this song again. The original singer of this song was sung by Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian, and it was included in the "Farewell My Concubine Original Soundtrack" and Lin Yilian's 1993 Cantonese album "It's better to start over" and the Mandarin album "Don't Care Who I Am".

Brother Leslie Cheung once covered this song, which was included in his 1995 solo album "Love".

Many people’s understanding of Leslie Cheung began with this movie. Because of this scene, my brother was considered a "drama addict". Cheng Dieyi and Leslie Cheung, one fictional and one real person, have been together for so many years, which is enough to prove the success of this film.

When love is a thing of the past, the Overlord is gone, and so is Concubine Yu, the show "Farewell My Concubine" will also end...
