"MV" in my opinion is still a very important musical work, especially in the moment when short videos are popular, we should actually calm down and appreciate MV works that can integrate visual art with musical connotations, and feel the singers and teams using images and stories to deeply explore the expression of musical themes - Looking back on the past year, Pang Shushu carefully selected ten MV works worthy of everyone's repeated appreciation, leaving time for themselves to listen to the world together and take care of our hearts.
Let’s follow the inventory of Pang Shushu’s top ten MV works of the year! (The ranking is indefinitely)
" Ai Yiliang / " I want to become her ""
Ai Yiliang's new album "I just remember" second title song "I want to become her" is impressive, not only because Ai Yiliang once again brought a tear-jerking and affectionate private love song, but also because of the picture impact and story immersion brought by the MV, seems to have watched a sad literary and artistic movie, and after being lost and melancholy, he continued to move forward under the comfort of Ai Yiliang's singing.
MV invited Yin Zhenhao, director of the movie " When Men Are in Love", and as Ai Yiliang's singing came, the curtain of a "love triangle" story slowly opened. The heroine in the story enters middle age and loses her initial enthusiasm for marriage and love. She falls into endless quarrels and cold wars with her boyfriend. Suddenly, a young and beautiful girl appears to break the peace. The girl and her boyfriend ignite the love fire, and the heroine becomes an outsider on the stage. The three of them star in this absurd love drama together.
Until the end of the story, we realized that the girl who seemed to be a third party was actually the heroine when she was young. "I want to become her very much" refers to envying the latecomer in love, but in fact he envys the self who once did not care about love. Ai Yiliang cleverly reveals the private and fragile inner world of women, and the sadness contains power.
"""""Wang Jiaer
After a year, I heard Wang Jiaer's new Chinese song again, the name is "Wang Jiaer". Wang Jiaer himself took charge of the creation and production of lyrics and songs, telling the story of a boy named Wang Jiaer step by step. However, there are not many so-called dramatic turns from ordinary and "watching attention". What attracted me the most is precisely what Wang Jiaer conveyed in this song is sometimes confused, sometimes fragile, very warm, and very real.
MV is also presented in hand-drawn animation, from Hong Kong-Seoul-Beijing to the final TEAM WANG, with ingenious conception. Under the background of purple and blue as the main tones, Jiaer in casual clothes walked on the streets of Hong Kong with colorful light and shadow. As the lyrics developed, the boy bid farewell to his parents who accompanied him all the way and went to the unknown world for his musical dream; and then the street scene slowly changed into a strange and familiar Seoul. There were always too many difficulties in working in a foreign country. In order to eat his hometown, he came to a foreign restaurant. The kindness of the strange aunt moved Jiaer, "I shed tears on the way home. The weather was very cold but my heart was very warm that day." As I went further and further, the stage became bigger and bigger, "The sword in my hand turned into a microphone." The boy named Jiaer Wang, who was once a fencing athlete, continued to grow, traveled all corners of the world, and finally came to Beijing to establish TEAM. WANG, "No matter where I am, I always hang all this in my arms." After walking out of a small family and then to the greater world, I realized the sublimation of "everyone". This is the story told by Wang Jiaer in "Wang Jiaer".
What surprised me was the "open interaction" left by Wang Jiaer at the end of the song - "This is my story, what about yours". After he said this with his iconic low magnetic voice, the next paragraph was 16 beats. There are no words but only melody. I think he just left a space for everyone to write lyrics to sing his own story and voice, because the story of "Wang Jiaer" actually has its own version for every young man struggling. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, I listened to the song of musician Wang Jiaer. I don't know so bad, I don't know so sad. We welcome another beautiful spring.
" Cai Xukun /"Feel her"
After listening to Cai Xukun's new song "Feel Her", you can feel the distinctive personal style belonging to Cai Xukun. "Feel Her" seems to be a continuation of " Lover ", the elegant and intellectual Jazz retro tone blends the atmosphere of psychedelic electronics, Cai Xukun's sexy voice is like a feather tickling in his heart, he wants to say but stops, and everything seems to be silent.
This time, Cai Xukun has taken on lyrics and music as a large proportion, and is an independent producer. He also directed the MV for the first time in the album, which also allows us to see more of his ideas on music and images. "Feel Her" MV fully expresses the song image in the picture. During the viewing process, we can substitute more imagination spaces with blank spaces -
The bar on the corner of the street is surrounded by mist, and among the hazy light and shadow, jazz slowly flows. A young and beautiful man in the middle of the stage, holding a blue rose in his hand, murmured alone, telling a sad and beautiful love story: met her, missed her, felt her, and then quit her.
" Xu Song /" Crow "
magnificent and elegant, profound and indifferent. The MV uses symbols, flashbacks, montage , stream of consciousness and other expression techniques to tell the story of an unsociable minority boy. seems obscure and difficult to understand, but it is full of deep meaning.
Xu Song is both a bystander and a "crow" with a similar fate with the little boy, and even the little boy himself. The "crow" seen by many tinted glasses is flying with perseverance and courage. The "darkness" that is not likable in the secular vision is actually a soft and flawless "purity".
" Yuan Yawei / " Dancing on the Moon "
A MV suitable for enjoying insomnia nights, is like the English name of the song "EMO WHISKEY", drink a glass of emotional whiskey , take a short rest after a midnight carnival, and when you are hazy and confused, half-dream, your thoughts turn into a galaxy.
Tia sat on the boat, like the mythical Siren , the singing confuses the sailors on the shore, the middle saxophone solo makes people think quietly take off and wander in the Milky Way, and the moon formed by the chairs in the back is romantic and imaginative. Tia transforms into the legendary Chang'e Fairy , the whispering chant is dangerous and charming, exuding a fatal attraction. makes our thoughts unable to help but dance mysterious and magical dance steps on the moon.
"Xu Jiaying /"None of the above"
LALAXu Jiaying's new song "None of the above" tried to break through the previous new style. This time Lala returned as a producer, throwing a new issue to the audience. As an artist, how to balance external doubts in creation, subvert self to gain new life.
MV is even more full of atmosphere. The visual shape of dark , the distorted lines, and the exaggerated lens language make the entire MV present a strange beauty.
MV not only uses 4D Views technology, but also takes 5 hours to put on makeup. The facial makeup with sharp contrast between red and white pigments, combined with Lala's free and full emotional interpretation. Under the extremely three-dimensional sound effect, shows Lala's mental journey from "destruction" to "reorganization" and ultimately "rebirth" as a musician.
"None of the above" means to destroy and destroy, and "all of the above" means to sublimate and reset. Under the pull dualism, whether right or wrong, pain itself is the ultimate rebirth.
" Lai Meiyun / "Winter Empty""
Lai Meiyun's first solo album planned by Pang Shushushu. Every song is still fresh in my memory, especially the MV "Winter Empty" has undergone countless modifications as the "Toughness Song" in the album, but everything is worth it. The stories of four ordinary people in
MV are like ourselves, the sad post-it note girl, the boy who endured violent bullying on campus, the dream-chasing dancer who fell on the floor again and again, the takeaway uncle who was exhausted for his daughter, Under the winter sky, in the cold current, above the dream, between us, he or she, at some point, will always bravely take steps toward the sunrise and sunset because of dreams.
"If Lai Meiyun said it was OK, you have no reason to say it was not possible", give everyone who is passionate in ordinary life and is working hard to sprint for extraordinary things!
" Zhan Wenting /" Burning Wind "
Zhan Wenting's new album "Faye Zhan Wenting Dance on the Clouds" can be said to be a surprise for Chinese music scene at the end of 2021. After leaving the F.I.R band, four years after the first solo album was released, Zhan Wenting returned with a new image and style, as if it was a rebirth of nirvana.
Whether it is the first title song "Ode to Love" or the newly released "Feng Feng" MV, they are all full of unique and alternative ultimate beauty. In terms of music style, Faye boldly tried psychedelic electronics, which were ambiguous and bizarre. The MV screen mostly uses visual techniques such as negative film, overexposure, and superposition, just like the burning ashes dancing with the "burning wind". Let's feel it together.
" Wei Ruxuan
Wei Ruxuan's new album "Have A Nice Day" is an album that must not be missed this year. Each song is full of imagination and ingenious thoughts, continuing the doll's usual style, warm, healing, and lively and playful.
The song "Transformers" is a true portrayal of Wei Ruxuan, a baby who was a mother for the first time. In this MV full of retro feelings and childlike elements, Wei Ruxuan transforms into an omnipotent superwoman. is Thousand-handed Guanyin, Transformers, a girl who looks weak on the outside, and a tough and strong mother inside.
"You long for your hands, you are afraid, beat up in one second, you want to fly, sit on my shoulder, I am your mother Transformers." funny lyrics and playful and vivid interpretation of the doll make this song full of energy and healing power. Thanks to the "Transformers" who have always protected us, let's say love her together!
" Guo Caijie / "February Oak"
Guo Caijie's new song continues the personal characteristics of independence and boldness. MV uses the form of retro film and the aesthetic style symbolizing the stream of consciousness. With "ugly duckling" as a clue, it shows the bond between parents and children, the joy and curiosity of the chicks molting, the difficulty of growing up and full wings.
MV small and medium-sized trains carried toy ducks forward, and the ugly duck slowly faded its shell and regenerated, repeating itself, symbolizing the awakening of self-consciousness, just like the first time that the chicks built a nest for themselves, understand themselves, accept themselves, and love themselves.
