Malaysian singer-songwriter Lin Yuzhong released a number of singing videos online in June this year. His representative songs such as "Landing to the Shore", "Learning about Lost Love", "Working Sports North", "Melody" and "Empty Swing" set off a wave of memories. Now fans have finally waited for his new song: Lin Yuzhong's new lyrical rock song "Crying and Laughing" was officially released recently. He is responsible for the songwriting and lyrics, and talks about people's complex emotions when facing the uncertainties of life.
In order to present the artistic conception of the lyrics, the MV production team spent 40 hours to carefully build a large circular stage with a diameter of 24 feet, and divided it into 4 different scenes, using "infinite loop" and 360-degree rotation shooting techniques. Through comparison and contrast, the audience can deeply experience the emotional rotation conveyed by the song from different angles and perspectives.
In the "Crying and Laughing" music video, the director originally intended to recreate the bed scene in Lin Yuzhong's "To the Shore" music video 19 years ago, in order to echo the theme of returning to the "original point" and "original intention." More than 50 different types of plants are placed in the room to create a Garden of Eden atmosphere. During the 18-hour shooting process, although Lin Yuzhong's scenes were scheduled to take place in the afternoon, he still arrived at the scene early in the morning and watched the shooting process of models and dancers. He said: "I give the director 100% creative space and trust. After all, I only know music. The shooting is still left to the professional team. I came to the scene early to provide good moral support!" This shows that he attaches great importance to his new work after four years. degree.
The lyrics "Losing is to be able to rest assured forever" illustrate the core concept of "Crying and Laughing". Lin Yuzhong hopes that through this song, he and his fans can develop the superpower of self-healing, understand and accept their own fragility, and find the courage to laugh after crying.
