Chapter 644: The mountains and rivers are safe and the prosperous times are as you wish
Time quickly came to May 4th.
This year's May Day holiday is three days long and will be on the 29th, 30th and 1st.
Everyone worked for two days on the 2nd and 3rd, and the 4th was Friday. Although there was no holiday for the May Fourth Youth Day, there would be two days off on the upcoming weekend. Whether you are an office worker or a student, you can relax on this day.
Hou Yuxin is a freshman in high school. After evening study, she walked out of the school gate with her classmates and got into the car her father came to pick her up.
“Huh?
Mom, why did you come to pick me up today?"
"Today is Friday. Your dad and I just went to the supermarket to buy some things, and then we came together to pick you up from school." Mother Hou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to her daughter and said.
"You've been doing well recently. Your teacher praised you in the WeChat group for your progress."
"Of course, I've been studying very hard lately, and I improved several places in the last monthly exam!
"By the way, Dad, please drive faster. I want to get home early and watch TV." Hou Yuxin said complacently and urged her father who was driving.
"Why watch TV? I've already told you, you are a high school student now, your studies should be the priority, you can't watch TV all the time." After hearing what her daughter said, the mother's smiling face immediately fell, and she spoke with a hint of scolding.
"I don't usually make plans to watch it. Today is Friday, and tomorrow is a holiday.
Besides, it doesn't interfere with my studies at all. I only watch TV after I finish my homework." Hou Yuxin argued.
“After finishing the homework, you can also review what you have learned in class or preview the next course.
If you think about watching TV every day, you won't be able to focus on studying. How can you improve your grades in the future?"
"Dad~
Look at my mom, she just praised me for my academic progress, but she turned around and denied it." Hou Yuxin couldn't convince her mother with reason, so she had to seek help from outside.
Hou's father, who was driving, smiled.
"Okay~ Tomorrow is the weekend, let Xinxin go back and watch it for a while. She's not the kind of child who doesn't know how to control herself."
After hearing what her husband said, Hou's mother turned around and looked at her daughter again.
"Just spoil her. What will you do if her grades drop?"
"Hehe. Dad is the best. I don't watch it often, so it definitely won't affect my studies." Hou Yuxin smiled and made assurance after hearing what her mother said.
Not long after, the three of them returned home.
After entering the door, Hou Yuxin hurriedly changed his shoes, then threw his schoolbag on the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.
At this time, CCTV-1 was broadcasting this year's May Fourth Youth Gala, which started at 9 o'clock and had been broadcasting for a while.
On the TV screen, Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu were singing "If I Love You".
"Phew, there's still time."
Hou Yuxin patted his chest, relaxed his body, and slowly leaned back against the sofa.
"[May Fourth Youth Gala]?
Xinxin, when did you become interested in this kind of evening show?"
Hou's father, who came in later, put his things away, sat next to his daughter, watched the program on TV and asked curiously.
In his impression, his daughter usually either follows idol dramas or watches variety shows. She never watches evening parties or anything like that. Even during the Spring Festival Gala, she only watches the programs she likes.
"dad
You don’t know, this year’s May Fourth Gala is different, it has my idol’s performance, of course I can’t miss it! ”
Hou Yuxin had no interest in Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu at all. She just hoped that they would finish singing quickly and move on to the end of the party as soon as possible.
"Your idol?
You mean Gu Wei?" Father Hou knew that his daughter liked the famous star Gu Wei.
The second female lead's bedroom is covered with her other party's posters, and she always makes plans to watch new dramas and movies when they are released.
In fact, Hou's father is not unfamiliar with the star Gu Wei. He has seen "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Mekong".
The three of them went to the cinema to watch [Detective Chinatown 2] together.
When Nirvana in Fire was released two years ago, Hou's mother also followed the show, and he watched a few episodes along with her.
Although he is not a fan, it is undeniable that Gu Wei is indeed very famous nowadays, and most of his film and television works are worth watching.
"Why are you chasing stars at such a young age? You should take scientists as your role models and study hard so that you can become a useful person.
What's the future of being a star? Can you become a star in the future, or will your idol find you a job?"
As the two were talking, Hou's mother came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of her daughter.
"Hmph~ Before that, Mom, you were watching Nirvana in Fire and Eternal Love." Hou Yuxin picked up the washed red apple from the plate and took a big bite. Arguing with her mother has become her daily routine.
“I was just watching the show and relaxing.
I only watch it because it’s well-made, I don’t care which star is in it.”
She said as she sat on the other side of her daughter.
"We agreed that although you can watch TV today, you can't watch it for too long."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll go to bed after this party!"
Because it was Friday, Hou's parents had nothing to do, and their daughter was watching TV, so they just joined in watching.
Soon, half an hour passed and the May Fourth Evening Party came to an end.
Li Jiaheng's show ended, the host announced the show, and the stage was dark.
Then the melodious sound of the piano drifted out from the unknown depths.
Hou Yuxin looked at the TV screen excitedly, looking forward to the appearance of her idol.
"This prelude is very nice. It's indeed a new song. Gu Wei has released a new single. Great!"
Suddenly, a beam of light shone in the center of the stage, and a slender figure sat in front of a silver-white piano, with his nimble hands dancing on the keys, like an elegant dancer, dancing freely on the black and white stage.
"Wow~ It's Gu Wei!" From the side profile of the camera, Hou Yuxin recognized her idol at a glance.
After all, her super high appearance is unique in the entire entertainment industry.
"What a noise!
"Girl, can you be more steady?" The mother beside her said to Hou Yuxin dissatisfiedly.
"That year you were the same age as me
As young as a green song
But in order to create the new world in my dream
You turned and hurried into the wind and rain
”
After the prelude, in addition to Gu Wei on the stage, the big screen behind also lit up. As he began to sing, corresponding story scenes began to appear on the big screen.
[Misplaced Time and Space] This song was first released in 2021. The original lyrics and melody express a love affair that cannot be achieved. It tells the story between a man and a woman, with sadness and regret.
Just like what the lyrics say, "I have felt the evening breeze that you have felt, so can we be considered to be hugging each other?" Because we cannot be together, we can only express our feelings in this way.
The song is a good song with a very pleasant melody. It became very popular after its release and was widely sung. It won two honors: NetEase Music's Song of the Year and Migu Music's Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year.
Later, when the TV series "Awakening Age" was released, someone rewrote the lyrics for this song, which was surprisingly suitable for the story and scenes in "Awakening Age".
Later, this version called "May Fourth Special Edition of Dislocated Time and Space" became popular on the Internet, and the copyright was also bought by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. It was often used for performances at major evening parties and was rated as one of the top ten BGMs in 2021 by RM Daily.
Nowadays, although "Awakening Age" has not been broadcast, there is actually no shortage of film and television images that match the music.
The meaning expressed by [May Fourth Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space] is not difficult to understand.
The revolutionary predecessors a hundred years ago were just like the young people today, in the prime of their youth.
But at that time, the country was in crisis and the nation was at a critical juncture of life and death.
They risked their lives and threw themselves fearlessly into the struggle for national salvation, composing a heroic song of revolution with their youth and blood!
A hundred years later, we now look at the starry sky and the vast land, and find ourselves in a beautiful and rich country.
On the same land, we can still feel the young and passionate hearts of our ancestors, who are closely connected with us.
The background MV of Gu Wei's singing was made for him by the director team. When the song starts, the scene that appears is from "The Founding of a Party".
Countless students in school uniforms, holding flags, marched on the streets, shouting slogans such as "Rather die with honor than live in disgrace" and "Fight for sovereignty abroad and eliminate traitors at home."
This scene happened when the May Fourth Movement broke out in 1919.
"When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Today, we must repay blood with blood and tooth with tooth!" On the high platform, student representative Xie Shaomin, wearing a white school uniform, shouted at all the college students below at the top of his lungs.
“.
I see thousands of lovely you
Run into the depths of the smoke without looking back
How many young figures disappeared in the night
In exchange for the morning light"
As the song progresses, the scene changes and the war breaks out. Many young people in their twenties, who have just started their lives, put on military uniforms and embark on the road of saving their country. As the war becomes more brutal, many of them sacrifice their lives, dying in their best years for their ideals.
No one in the living room spoke. The father and mother, who were originally just watching TV with their daughter, were also attracted by the touching song.
A pair of eyes were fixed on the TV screen, but the attention was not on Gu Wei playing the piano, but on the MV playing on the big screen.
Paired with the song [Misplaced Time and Space], it seems to allow people to understand that emotion more deeply. There is no such thing as peace and prosperity in the country because there are always people carrying the burden and moving forward.
At the same time, in the crew of "Sito", Jing Tian lay in Gu Wei's arms, and the two watched the "May Fourth Evening Party" together.
She had known Gu Weixie's songs for a long time, but this was the first time she heard them.
“.
I look up at the stars you have seen
Kong travels through time and space for a hundred years to meet again
The smile before you turned around
I understand everything.”
In the second half of the song, time in the MV also quickly advances, showing Tiananmen Square in 1949 and the founding of New China; scientists are calculating something on an abacus, and then the atomic bomb explodes and the Shenzhou rocket takes off.
The mountains and rivers have changed, things and people have changed, but what remains unchanged is the efforts of generations of people. Today, the Great Wall is still there, and the cities are filled with tall buildings and blooming flowers.
The teacher led a group of primary school students in school uniforms and red scarves to visit the memorial hall. Through the statues and photos of various ancestors, they traveled through a hundred years of time. The young people who gave their lives at that time seemed to see the children who are living happily today, and they showed gratified smiles on their faces.
".I look up at the starry sky you have seen
The ground beneath my feet has changed time and space
The red you left swaying in the wind
In the heart of the heart
The MV ends with the five-star red flag rising high in Tiananmen Square.
Gu Wei also finished singing the last sentence of the song, stood up from the piano, bowed deeply to the audience, and the stage fell into darkness again.
"What a great song! It's such a beautiful song!"
Da Tiantian's eyes were a little red and she sniffed.
"Oh, our Tiantian is crying." Gu Wei hugged Jingtian's neck and leaned forward slightly, looking at the other's slightly red eyes, reached out and took out a tissue and handed it to her.
"It's all your fault"
Da Tiantian took it and blew her nose.
“In fact, the original version of this song was a love song and it was also the theme song of my last movie.
I just didn’t expect that after revising the lyrics, the emotional power would be even stronger.”
"I want you to sing the original version for me." Jing Tian turned her head and rubbed against Gu Wei like a kitten.
"After the party, all major music platforms will release two versions of the song. If you open your phone, you might be able to find it now."
These were all arranged in advance by Gu Wei's team, just waiting for the May Fourth Gala to end. In addition, "Time Raiders" will be released next month, and the theme song is now a little popular, which is also a means of publicity.
"No, I just want to listen to you sing, I just want to listen to you sing," Da Tiantian said coquettishly with a pout.
Gu Wei smiled helplessly.
"Okay, Miss Si Teng has spoken, how can I not listen?
Now that the show is over, let's go to the bedroom and lie on the bed. It will be more comfortable, and I will sing for you."
"You're not going to do anything bad, are you?" Hearing about going to the bedroom, Jing Tian looked at Gu Wei with suspicion.
"Can't I do bad things?" Gu Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you can, but I want to listen to some music first." Da Tiantian was a little embarrassed. Although the two of them were together every day and night now, she was still very shy sometimes.
"Don't worry, I promised you."
Gu Wei held Jing Tian's fair and delicate little face in his hands and couldn't help but bent down and kissed her.
In less than a minute, the two separated.
Jingtian's little face was slightly red and his eyes were a little blurry.
"Okay, I'll take a small deposit from you first, and I'll take the rest after you finish listening to the songs."
As he said that, Gu Wei picked up Jing Tian and walked towards the bedroom.
CCTV.
Zou Wei, the chief director of the May Fourth Gala, looked at the audience ratings data in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
As he expected, the ratings of this year's [May Fourth Youth Gala] far exceeded those of previous years. Boldly using young traffic stars seems to be a good move.
The average viewership rating exceeded 1, and when Gu Wei took the stage as the finale, the data soared to over 1.5, almost catching up with the ratings of some less popular local Spring Festival Galas.
"Director Zou, this year's May Fourth Gala has received very high praise online. Many netizens believe that the program is both trendy and profound, making it a rare high-quality gala in recent years."
His subordinates reported to Zou Wei about some online comments.
With the development of the times, CCTV programs now attach great importance to the evaluation of online audiences in addition to ratings data.
Take the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for example. After it ends, netizens’ comments largely represent whether the Spring Festival Gala is popular with the audience.
"Haha~ Great! This year's May Fourth Gala couldn't have been a success without everyone's hard work!"
Being the chief director of a large-scale evening party is quite stressful. Now that there is a perfect result, Zou Wei is naturally very satisfied.
"It's all thanks to Director Zou's good programming."
Capital city.
Hou Yuxin and her family of three remained silent after watching the May Fourth Edition of Dislocated Time and Space. Their emotions were stirred up and fully released, and the chorus that followed was boring to listen to.
"It's not wrong to be a fan, actually. Gu Wei is really a very positive star."
Dad Hou touched his chin. Compared with his younger daughter, he could actually understand the emotions expressed in the song better.
"Right, Dad, Gu Wei is so handsome and very talented. He's great at singing and acting. He's definitely a top-notch idol!"
It is a great encouragement for Hou Yuxin that her idol can get recognition from her father.
"Okay, now that the party is over, go wash up and go to bed.
You can’t stay up late just because tomorrow is the weekend,” her mother reminded her.
"knew"
That night, after the May Fourth Gala ended, all major music platforms simultaneously launched the song "Misplaced Time and Space".
Fans and music lovers were pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the song Gu Wei sang at the May Fourth Gala, there was another version with different lyrics, but it was equally good.
In addition, Gu Wei’s personal Weibo account also updated a new status.
#The mountains and rivers are safe, fireworks are common, this prosperous era is just as you wish! #
Below are two different versions of [Misplaced Time and Space].
The May Fourth version uses the MV from the party, while the normal version uses the trailer for "Time Raiders".
After watching the May Fourth Gala, I really loved the song "Misplaced Time and Space", especially after watching the MV, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Today's wonderful life is truly earned by our ancestors with their youth and passion.
So many young people, in their prime twenties, dedicated their blood to the faith they uphold and the country they cherish.
When I was little, I often heard teachers explain why our national flag is red. It's because it was dyed with the blood of martyrs. The red scarf is a corner of the flag, so we should cherish it. I didn't understand what it meant back then, but the older I get, the more I understand the weight of this simple statement!
Every inch of land is stained with blood, and with 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers, nothing is taken for granted. The flourishing flowers of today are nourished by the blood of our ancestors. I am truly blessed to be born in China!
The May Fourth version's dislocated time and space are incredibly emotional, and the other version is also very good. Is Gu Wei and Liu Yifei's film coming out soon? I'm looking forward to it!
For Gu Wei's fans, this year's May Fourth Youth Day was a complete surprise. One melody, two different versions of the lyrics, expressing completely different emotions, and both so beautiful. I love it! Gu Wei is indeed, he never disappoints us in music!
Gu Wei and Yifei's second collaboration after "Detective Chinatown 2" is also a romantic film. I'm really looking forward to it. The theme song is so good, I've already put it on repeat!!
I've been looking forward to this movie since it started filming, and I didn't expect the trailer and theme song to be released so soon. Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are two of the most handsome male and female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry in my opinion. I'm so looking forward to their collaboration. Let's talk about romance! !
