If you choose a BGM to describe someone you missed or loved during adolescence, which one would you choose?
Maybe someone will choose Jay Chou's "Secrets That Cannot Be Said", where there are some unspoken feelings buried in my heart.
Maybe someone will choose Lin Junjie's "Little Dimple", which is full of sweet love and memories of singing duet with people they like.
But these are the BGM of the post-90s. For those born in the 70s and 80s, in their memory, when they talk about youth, they may recall this song-
: "How many people have loved your youthful appearance, know who is willing to bear the merciless changes of the years "It is estimated that it reminds many of my time on campus and the love letters that were handed out but did not get a response.
Shui Mu Nianhua’s "I Have You in My Life" poetically sings youth. Once it was released that year, it was highly praised. Not only the sales of the album increased sharply, but also the popularity was amazing. Almost all young literary and artistic youths and campus students would sing this. The first song with sad first love, the group members Lu Gengxu and Li Jian have also become representatives of the new generation of folk musicians.
But what people did not expect was that due to different music concepts, after Shuimu Nianhua released his first album, Li Jian chose to quit, and Lu Gengxu, the founding team, recruited two other students who were playing music together. Miao Jie and Yao Yong once again formed a team in Shuimu Nianhua, a year later, the personnel changed again, Yao Yong withdrew, Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie became the final two-man team.
Although today, Li Jian and Lu Gengwu have developed separately: After a few years of silence, Li Jian became popular again with a song "Legend", and now he has become a national "male god"; Lu Gengxu has always maintained the Shui Mu Nianhua and released an album a year At the speed of ten years, I insisted on writing lyrics and music by myself.
What is even more unexpected is that Lu Gengxu now has an additional identity-"Guide Lu". In 2014, Lu Gengwu adapted and made his own music of the same name "Goodbye Youth in Bloom" and made it into a movie of the same name, which won a good reputation.
Recently, Lu Gengwu has released another new film: The campus love-themed movie "I Have You in My Life" starring Xu Jiao and Xie Binbin is about to be released! You may be wondering: Can a song be made into a movie? But in fact, the story behind a song is far more than just a song.
Take "Life with You" as an example. In fact, it can be vaguely learned from past interviews that the song "Life with You" was actually written by Lu Gengxu after a relationship ended. After that, he asked Li Jian to participate in the competition and won the prize, so there was Shuimu Nianhua;
, for example, originally studied architecture at the beginning, but insisted, Lu Gengxu chose music because of The person he likes, and senior brother Gao Xiaosong used his guitar to pick up girls frequently. For example,
, when he was studying at Tsinghua University, Lu Gengxu heard Li Jian talk about his troubles about love, and helped Li Jian modify his love letter...
, for example, back then After graduating, in order to dream, Lu Gengxu mentioned that he wanted to pursue a career in music, but he was opposed by his family and almost broke off with his father...
Lu Gengxu had previously revealed in an interview that the stories in this movie were all in Tsinghua Park. The stories that actually happened here, and the characters in it also correspond to the bigwigs of Tsinghua Park, Lu Gengxu, Li Jian, and Gao Xiaosong. At the premiere of "I Have You in My Life", Gao Xiaosong even specially came to "support" for Lu Gengxu.
"It has been 18 years since the release of the song "I Have You in My Life". I have graduated from university for more than 20 years. I now return to Tsinghua with the movie "I Have You in My Life" and I dedicate it to the best time." Lu Gengxu once said such a thing at the film premiere.
And the movie "I'll Have You in My Life" is also based on Lu Gengxu's own experience. It also tells the story of a "music courtship": a mother and child single engineering male Ouyang (Xie Binbin) meets Hua Fangyao (Xu Jiao) In order to get rid of the singles before graduation, Ouyang learned the guitar by accident, and "courted with music" with his friends, so a first love full of laughter, tears, blood and regret began... Lu Gengxu said, although the shooting process There have been a lot of difficulties, but to be able to present this beautiful story, it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish and completing the youth of that generation.Respectful wish.
It is true that learning guitar and school folk songs are almost all products of that era. In that special era, love is very hazy and expression is very subtle. Music has become the most popular way for boys and girls around 18 to 20 to express their love. Main way. A large number of talented folk singers such as Gao Xiaosong, Lao Lang, Shen Qing, Lu Xuejun, Pu Shu, Xu Wei, Yu Dong, Lu Gengxu, Li Jian, etc., originally chose to learn to play the guitar because they wanted to chase girls.
Although they have created a large number of excellent works after becoming famous, the songs that really touched a generation will always be those works when they were on campus or when they just walked out of campus.
Therefore, instead of treating the "Life with You" movie as an IP "adaptation" of the song, it is better to say that it is a secondary creation based on this.
Lu Gengxu also said that for this movie, he almost invested more than ten years of singing money. After four years of preparation, this film encountered many unrecognized voices at the beginning of its production, but he always insisted that he could choose to become a musician for the "you". Now, he also wants to "have Pass you" and become an anonymous director. The original intention of
has also been supported by friends.
return to the film itself, you will find that Lu Gengxu, who can write songs, is telling the story and pays special attention to the sense of rhythm. With the beautiful melody and long-lost campus style, memories spring up like a tide, bringing us back to the old days when campus folk songs were popular. And when you click on the final version of the MV of "Life with You", you will find that what the show actually shows is not just the youth of the 70s and 80s. Almost everyone can find themselves in "Life with You" The shadow of youth.
For example, a kiss that beats but fails to fall.
A small grass slope suitable for dating and dreams.
follows each other's path from front to back.
A time of laughing and cursing.
A dream written in my heart.
A person who loved but eventually missed. When
and the two became adults, they finally sighed when they turned their heads back: "To have you in my life" is a wonderful wish for me, but I am lucky enough to have you in my life.
I don’t know if it’s old age or something, although the younger sister has read countless movies, especially the campus love movies, they are almost numb. But after watching the movie preview of "I Have You in My Life", I still couldn't help feeling.
This kind of emotion is different from the distress when watching "You are a teenager", it is also different from the gratification of watching "My Girlhood", and it is different from the sigh of watching "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years..." The feeling of "With You" is like a kind of relief-a kind of relief that you will meet the old knowing after a thousand sails.
I think this may be a feeling that people will not have until they are middle-aged and busy with life, but Lu Gengxu was able to use his movies to bring his feelings to me at 25. In the same section of "I Have You in My Life", when the familiar melody sounded, the dusty memories in my mind spread out like a movie. This feeling is very strange, like opening up the two channels of Ren and Du, music makes people not only dialogue, but also empathy.
In fact, many viewers who have been able to watch the screening will also have more or less empathy with them. Someone at
can miss their young and ignorant love in this BGM, and some can think of their dreams. The road, someone remembered or a friend who had listened to this song together... Perhaps Lu Gengxu inadvertently blurred "you": "you" is no longer limited to a certain person, but has become a bearer of many youthful memories symbol.
was touching. At the premiere, Lu Gengxu also invited a couple of Tsinghua couples who had been hand in hand for 47 years. They were each other’s first love on campus. They also used real life experience to explain in real life. The romantic meaning of "I have you in my life". The grandfather continued to the stage and confessed affectionately to the grandmother: "For so many years, I have worked hard for you!" This unexpected sprinkling of dog food made people not want to cry.
So, there is no difference between the youth of people in the 70s and 80s and the youth of people in the 90s. After all, everyone who was worthy of his youth has been like the post-95s generation now.There is love vigorously, rushing without fear. I hope that when the ending song of the movie sounds, we don't have to remember other people's stories, but can think of our own youth. The
movie will be released on November 29, so why not have a spring day dream together?
Oh, I suddenly missed my first love...
