Hunan Satellite TV is currently broadcasting the popular variety show "Hi Sing and Turn Up", hosted by Xie Na and Luo Zhixiang, and sat in the audience as "Hi Sing Players". In each issue, music experts in various fields are called to sing classic old songs. Coupled with the multi-stage competition of variety shows, the interaction between the guests and the audience is increased, and the entertainment is full. The
show has two places that attract me. One is singers from different fields in each issue. There are not only powerful star singers such as Tengger, Legend of Phoenix, Zhang Liangying, but also many platform talents, ordinary amateurs and anchor singers on various short video platforms.
Of course, what attracted me the most from the show was the epoch-making classic songs. The singing and melody will always arouse the memories of those past years.
The fourth issue of "Hey Sing and Turn Up", the theme is film and television golden songs. The big-name star Zhang Jianying who attended this issue sang the theme song of Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" "Unparalleled Under Heaven", Zhang Weijian sang the theme song "True Hero" of the TV series "Sui and Tang Dynasties" starring him, and the Fei Er band sang the TV series "Dou "Fish" theme song "Lydia", and many classic film and television songs sung by other guests.
But what impressed me the most, and also the most touching, was the second song "365 Days Missing You" sung by the first amateur singer Zhang Ting. The song
is one of the theme songs of the domestic animated film "Baolian Lantern".
20 years ago, in the summer of 1999, "Baolian Lantern" was released. This cartoon is also the fifth animated feature film since the founding of the People's Republic of China. All five of them came from the Shanghai Art Film Studio. But 14 years have passed since the fourth "Golden Monkey Falling Down the Demon".
Chinese cartoons have made remarkable achievements in the international arena. The first animated feature film "Havoc in Heaven" in 1961 has won many international film festival awards.
However, as the Chinese film market has entered a low period, Japanese animation series and Hollywood animation films have gradually attracted more children's attention. Domestic animation is entering the cold winter, and there are few excellent works that have been shot.
In 1998, Disney launched the animated film "Mulan" based on the story of the Chinese poem "Mulan Ci", which has achieved great success worldwide. But this has made domestic filmmakers and animators ashamed: Why not only can we not shoot Chinese themes, but also let foreigners use it to give Western cultural logic and produce classics?
In the second year, this "Baolian Lantern" turned out to save the face of many domestic animations.
Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio continues the tradition of drawing material and inspiration from Chinese myths and stories, adapting the ancient legend "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", and created this "Baolian Lantern" for three years.
Moreover, this domestic animation also learns from the advanced experience of Hollywood action film production, uses computer three-dimensional special effects technology to draw animation, and conducts dialogue recording in advance and other production methods. In the style of painting, we can also see the shadows of American-Japanese animation.
At the same time, "Baolian Lantern" took into account both commerciality and artistry, and was the largest domestic animation at the time.
Out of commercial considerations, the dubbing cast of the movie seems very strong even today. Jiang Wen, Ning Jing, Chen Peisi and Xu Fan are all big stars. The soundtrack and soundtrack of the
movie are even more impressive and long-lasting. And not one song, but three songs have become very popular classics.
"365 Days I Miss You" was originally sung by Coco Lee .
Coco Lee was an international singer in Asia at the time. In 1998, Coco Lee also sang the Chinese theme song "I" for Disney's "Mulan".
"Yes, I miss you for three hundred and sixty-five days; listen to you and my favorite song; tears, always accidentally flooding smiling faces, suddenly I feel that you have not gone far" . "365 Days Missing You" has also become one of Coco Li's masterpieces, and later became the opening song of the 2014 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The episode "Heaven and Earth in My Heart" was written by Liu Huan and sang .
Liu Huan's status in the Chinese music scene is well known. This song "Heaven and Earth in My Heart" is also beautiful, "I don't want to see you only in my dreams, because I love you, I won't cry again; I don't want to miss you only at night, have your love, and believe I will create miracles" expresses how Chenxiang’s motherLonging.
It is said that Liu Huan wrote this song for 8 months before he was satisfied. The following year, he was selected as one of the "Top Ten Golden Songs" in China's original song list in 1999.
The ending song "Love is One Word" is sung by Zhang Xinzhe .
Zhang Xinzhe, the prince of love songs, fully interprets this affectionate and melodious song. When the film came to an end, Zhang Xinzhe's clear and bright unique voice sounded, and the warm melody moved countless audiences.
"Love is just a word, I only say it once, you know I will only express it with action; promise for a lifetime, keep persistence, and it will never be too late to give." The song was widely sung and became one of Zhang Xinzhe's more influential works in the Mainland.
Looking back at the history of Chinese and even the world’s cinema, it is really rare that three widely circulated songs can be produced in a movie. Even Disney's "Frozen" brainwashing song "Let It Go" is only this one.
In addition, the plot and story of "Baolian Lantern" itself seems to have maintained a high standard now. 110,000 people have watched it on Douban, with a score of 8.1. It can be said that it was the "Baolian Lantern" 20 years ago that opened the road to the revival of Chinese domestic animation.
