"Seeing flowers in the mist, looking at the moon in the water, you can distinguish this unpredictable world... Tenderness does not necessarily mean consideration. You know which sentence is true, which sentence is false, which sentence is the condensation of love..."
Are you? Do you think the theme of Na Ying's widely sung song "Seeing Flowers in the Smoke" is related to love? In fact, this is not the case. The lyrics of this song were written by Yan Su, a writer and lyricist, for the CCTV "3.15" party in 1993. Tomorrow (15th) is March 15th International Consumer Rights Day. Many details in this song from many years ago are still talked about.
In 1993, at CCTV’s “March 15” party, Na Ying’s song “Seeing Flowers in the Smoke” became popular in the streets overnight. The songwriter Yan Su (1930-2016) revealed at the time that the director of the party asked him to write an "anti-counterfeiting song". He thought that the most counterfeit products at that time were chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. He could not write "Fertilizers are fake, pesticides are fake." really? After thinking about it, you should not be too straightforward, but should be a little hazy. Those fake, bad, and deceptive things that deceive customers can be turned into a "noisy" world, which needs to be carefully identified.
One night, Yan Su saw the TV broadcast of the Sichuan opera "The Legend of White Snake". In it, Wei Tuo kicked the wise eye on his forehead with his legs to search for Bai Suzhen, which made Yan Su feel like it, so " Lend me a pair of wise eyes. , let me see the chaos clearly, clearly, really..."

In addition to the story of the song creation, the MV of "Seeing Flowers in the Smoke" also has a story. Full of attractions. It is reported that the MV was directed by the famous actor Zhang Guoli himself. When
sang "Lend me a pair of eyes", he mainly used thunder and lightning effects. These two thunders look very "thunder" now, but in the eyes of people back then, they were the latest special effects technology. Na Ying previously broke the news on the show that at that time, one mine cost 3,000 yuan. Due to insufficient filming funds, she spent 6,000 yuan to buy two.
In addition to thunder and lightning, there are other special effects technologies in the MV that were considered advanced at the time. For example, the interaction between Na Ying in the mirror and Na Ying in reality echoes the theme of "true and false".
Na Ying also changed a variety of looks to suit different scenes. She also collaborated with synchronized swimmers to create a series of special dance moves.
actor Shen Teng once joked that Na Ying's gesture dance in the MV was sign language for performance.
After watching this MV, netizens left messages saying: ""Seeing Flowers in the Smoke" is probably one of the more outstanding MVs among Na Ying. "6,000 yuan to buy the special effects of two thunders was really expensive at that time"...
