In recent years, in the domestic film market, in addition to starring celebrities and luxurious scenes, the theme song has gradually become a major highlight of the movie. Today, when the record market is becoming increasingly sluggish, singers have begun to choose to release singles - the theme song of the movie. First, it can make a profit, and second, it is also conducive to the singing of the songs with the promotion and release of the movie. Last year's "Soon of the Year" and "Time Cooking Rain" from the previous year are typical examples. Looking back from the tail of 2015, this year's Chinese movies also have theme songs worth listening to. Here, the author has selected 10 of them that I have to listen to, hoping to satisfy your ears.
1. "The Road to Home" (theme song of the movie "Lost and Lonely"), Andy Lau
must be familiar with the song. It is not only the theme song of the movie "Lost and Lonely", but also the promotional song of the 2015 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Andy Lau took the stage to sing it on New Year's Eve. Andy Lau, who is in his fifties, added a warmth to his voice, which is in line with the feeling of telling the story in the lyrics and the homesick feeling of wanderers, which is particularly empathetic. It is worth mentioning that the lyrics are filled in by Andy Lau himself. They are plain but not simple. They are easy to pick but are particularly warm. The King of Heaven takes action and is truly worthy of his reputation.
2. "Nian Nian" (theme song of the movie "Nian Nian"), Rene Liu
It can be said that this is a song with "the milkiest tea", suitable for listening to it in the afternoon or in the dark night, and the smell of time is everywhere. In terms of singing skills, among the many Chinese female singers, Rene Liu is actually not worth mentioning, but her voice is very suitable for a certain type of love song. Which type is it? Warm wounds - not hysterical enough, not heart-wrenching enough, a kind of healing warm sentimentality. "Nian Nian" is the love song along the way. The lyricist Huang Ting is best at writing small emotions, and "Nian Nian" is a movie directed by Sylvia Chang. It has a strong literary atmosphere and complements Rene Liu's voice.
3. "Mo" (theme song of the movie "Why Sheng Xiaomo"), Na Ying
After successive covers by Jay Chou, Shang Wenjie and Zeng Yiming (of course, mainly Jay Chou, haha), this song has obviously become popular. Of course, Na Ying's original singer and Yin Yue's lyrics have made great contributions. How to say it? Judging from the lyrics alone, this is a niche literary song, a small song worth chewing and savoring, but singers can easily change it into a big song in their singing style, a big song that is heart-wrenching. The key is that the big song is not annoying. Perhaps this is the reason why "Silence" became popular, and its degree of freedom is very high in creation.
4. "Left Ear" (theme song of the movie "Left Ear"), Zhao Wei
To be honest, this song was not snatched at first, and I always felt that Zhao Wei's singing skills needed to be strengthened. I even thought that if Faye Wong sang it, the effect would be better, but later I listened to it and became more and more interesting. The naivety in Zhao Wei's voice and the singing style similar to the narration are very consistent with the youth described in the lyrics. "It hurts very much, endure it, and memories are left to those who will hurt." "There is no red light in the journey of youth, and you have become a person who has experienced it as you go faster and faster." It seems that Zhao Wei's growth and transformation along the way - from the stumble and confused "Little Swallow" to the mature and elegant big star now, is a portrayal of her inner self and the youth of every post-80s generation.
5. "The End of the Soul" (theme song of the movie "Tiny Times 4"), A-mei Zhang
Yao Ruolong, Chen Xiaoxia, and A-mei Zhang, all of them are famous in their own field, but this song is not as popular as expected, and is not as crazi as "Time Cooks Rain" and "I Miss You So Much". Perhaps because it is a bit emotionally heavy, the tune is not catchy enough, and it is not easy to sing. And because of this, this song seems particularly precious. To me, it is like a diary lost in my youth. The diary says: I'm so happy that you finally came, when I almost gave up. It can be said that A-mei Zhang’s control in the mid-bass zone and the burst of the high-pitch zone are unmatched, and she is also perfect in her grasp of such campus songs.
6. "Ordinary People" (theme song of the movie "Rampage Hollywood"), Wallace Chung
"I was not born to be brave and talented, and I only have some sincerity when facing the crowds of people." With this sentence alone, this song entered my singles loop list. Ding Ding Zhang, who writes lyrics, is a best-selling writer and the composer is a band of good sisters that has become popular in recent years. His first album "Spring Sheng" has been well received on Douban. It is difficult to join forces and fail. This song still continues the folk style of the Good Sisters Band, with soothing tunes and faint feelings. Considering the audience's relationship, it is generally closer to pop music, and can be classified as pop folk or lyrical folk songs, which can be very audible. In addition, to a certain extent, "Ordinary People" is a song endorsed by the loser. If you are a loser, you must come and listen to it.
7. "In One Thought" (theme song of the movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"), Zhang Jie Karen Mok
Personally, I have never appreciated Zhang Jie's style, but I have to admit his strength. In terms of singing skills alone, he certainly crushed a group of young and handsome men who sing and danced. As for Karen Mok, it is my favorite. There is a decaying and charming temperament in her voice, which is very rare among mid-bass female singers. This Chinese-style song "A Thought" is sung by the two of them. It is majestic and classical and graceful. It fully expresses the artistic conception of the lyrics, which can be regarded as a way to make up for the criticized movie.
8. "The Me Against Me" (theme song of the movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage"), Chen Jieyi
If there is really a soul singer, Chen Jieyi is it. She is a typical studio singer, singing softly and has a long aftertaste. She is most suitable for buying CDs and listening quietly alone. This is why she lost early on "I Am a Singer" and she is not suitable for the competitive stage. Let’s go back to “The Me Again”, this is a song that makes people cry - “If you meet the Me Again, please bring him back.” In the past, we all had a heroic dream, just like the great sage in the movie, but at a time, we grew up and became the pig called Bajie who was "eating and drinking enough to move". Is it sad? Yes, life has one day, and we will burn with our dreams for a day. From this perspective, "I used to be" is not only nice, but also in-depth.
9. "On Jupiter" (theme song of the movie "Assassin Nie Yinniang"), Pu Shu
As a song in Pu Shu's new album, "On Jupiter" has received widespread attention since its release. In addition, it has promoted the promotion of "Assassin Nie Yinniang" - Hou Hsiao-hsien's first movie released in the mainland, which is even more eye-catching. But "On Jupiter" is not as popular as last year's "Ordinary Road". Not to mention the popularity, many people even gave negative reviews, some said that there was no new meaning, and some said that it was not good. During that time, I felt that the returned Pu Shu was like the returned Nie Yinniang, with an awkward position. No matter how embarrassed it is, as a "tree fan" for twelve years, "On Jupiter" still makes me excited. Yes, Pu Shu has never changed. As soon as he opens his mouth, he is that pure and clear boy. What is novelty? Is new meaning change? He doesn't need to change. "It's not too late to come back today. Come back with your old friends and be a teenager innocence." Yes, I also hope that you who listen to music will remain unchanged. Even if you are old, you will still be an old and a young man.
10. "Little Luck" (theme song of the movie "My Girls' Generation"), Tian Fuzhen
If there is any Chinese music song the most popular in the second half of the year, is there anything else besides "Little Luck"? In just a few months, Tian Fuzhen has sung on various stages countless times, and this song has become her representative work. Although the lyricist Xu Shizhen is not well-known, it is a fact that she has written many good lyrics, such as Stefanie Sun's "Very Good" and Cai Chunjia's "Sorry, I Love You".This song "Little Luck" is also excellent, especially the main song. The first two lines are simply wonderful - "I heard the raindrops falling on the green grass, and I heard the bell ringing in the distance." It immediately pulled people into the situation of the youth campus. That pure feeling was like a ray of wind blowing over you, fresh, transparent and beautiful. Listen to "Little Luck" and listen to your youth. Well, "Little Luck" can be called the "Song of Youth" of Chinese music in 2015, don't miss it.
