Chapter 1044 When the Petals Leave the Flower
It turns out that Lin Fan's "intuition" is still very effective. Emperor TV has indeed overcome all difficulties and successfully won the first round of broadcasting rights for this drama from a large number of coveted TV stations and wealthy video websites.
And because the show has already been filmed and post-production is finished, it is ready to be released immediately. So Emperor TV decided to reserve two months of promotion time and set the show's broadcast time to two months later.
This is really good news for the general audience.
You have to know that now a drama is constantly promoted from the moment the project is launched, making it seem as if it can be broadcast online immediately.
But in reality, half a year has passed, and then a year has passed, and the drama has still not been launched. Some dramas have even been announced to be released, but the release date has been temporarily delayed.
Keeping the audience's expectations for a very long time is, yes, a way to allow the promotion of the TV series to penetrate into the hearts of the audience and achieve sufficient exposure, but if it drags on too long, the audience will still get tired.
Especially when the release date is set and then postponed, it really loses favor. Besides the fans of the leading actors, who among the general audience will be patient with you promoting the TV series before it even starts filming, making it look like it will be released soon, only to find out that the release date has not yet been determined! For someone like Lin Fan, the broadcast rights are sold after the TV series is finished, and the broadcast rights have just been settled. You only need to wait for a one-to-two-month promotion period before you can watch the feature film. This is what the general audience likes to see.
So just after Emperor TV announced that the show would be released in two months, the expectations for the show online skyrocketed, and countless netizens paid close attention to it, just waiting for the show to be released.
Emperor Vision also struck while the iron was hot and released the trailer directly.
The first scene of the trailer is a slender back against the light, wearing an indigo blue dress of a female student in the Republic of China, with two long black pigtails hanging behind her. A gust of wind blows, and countless manuscript papers flutter in the wind.
The picture is so beautiful that people can't bear to look away, and the male protagonist falls even more in love with it.
The scene changed, and the male protagonist in a suit confessed his love downstairs of the teaching building, but what he got in return was a basin of water poured down by the female protagonist.
The key point is that the two female students next to the heroine clapped happily.
This plot?
The audience was a little confused. Within a few seconds of the trailer, everyone had actually almost understood the identities and backgrounds of the male and female protagonists. It was probably a love story between a rich young man with money and free time and a female student who pursued progressive ideas during the Republic of China period.
But when the hero confessed his love, the heroine was not moved to tears, fell in love, and wrote a dramatic love story in the Republic of China with the hero. What kind of operation is splashing water? And the girl who clapped beside her really couldn't understand it.
Is it the devil's editing? In fact, anyone who has watched this drama knows that the order of these two shots is indeed reversed. When the male protagonist confessed his love, the female protagonist's classmates applauded, and then there was the shot of the female protagonist splashing water.
But the audience on Blue Star has not watched this drama. They just think that the plot is so magical, so fresh and unpretentious, and they really want to watch it!
More importantly, as the trailer sounded, the theme song of the drama, "An Xiang", which was composed, written and sung by Lin Fan himself.
The prelude of the song is very light and soft, carrying with it a touch of sadness, an unspeakable beauty, and a deep regret, like a pair of invisible hands gently holding the heart.
"When the petals leave the flower, the fragrance remains. The fragrance disappears after the wind and rain.
No one came to smell——"
Lin Fan's slightly hoarse voice was controlled freely, and he captured the rich changes in the emotions in the song just right, turning the invisible regret and sadness into tangible music that lingered in everyone's heart.
Lin Fan's composing ability has always been unquestionable, and this song is no exception. Combined with the complex and entangled fate of the characters in the trailer, it expresses the lingering love during that special period vividly.
The rich young master fell in love with the independent-minded female student from the Republic of China at first sight, and then launched a fierce pursuit of her. It was like an unrealistic dream, so beautiful that people dared not touch it.
"If love tells me to go on, I will fight till the end of love
If the heart dies in splendor, love will be reborn in the ashes. Unforgettable moments of tender whispers
Use your smile to pay tribute to me——"
If we say that the four-bar prelude of this song, in which the cello introduces the various string parts, gives people a feeling of seeing a mountain from the front and peaks from the side.
Then when entering the main song part, the melody continues the motive of the prelude, the rhythm is tight at the beginning and loose at the end, the accompaniment also begins to include drums, the harmony is also richer, and the drums increase the rhythm and tension, pushing the song to a climax.
"Let the heart die in splendor
Let love be reborn in the ashes The fire burns the grass
Look, it’s another spring breeze—”
This song has a recapitulation structure and a recapitulation phrase at the end to emphasize the theme. The chord of the last phrase of the song changes the previous minor melancholy and borrows the tonic major triad of A major, A#CE, which is thought-provoking.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It also continues the grand, profound and beautiful style of Lin Fan's classical works, and coupled with Lin Fan's melancholy and unique voice temperament, the classical charm that permeates this song is interpreted to the fullest.
At the same time, the lyrics also express to the extreme the turning point in one's life, the courage to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, as well as the ups and downs of emotions.
Combined with the plot shown in the trailer, it immediately captured the love of countless audiences.
Moreover, at this moment, the audience of Blue Star has not actually seen this TV series yet. They can only peek at a small part of the complete plot through the short three-minute trailer.
But such a small part has already made the audience feel that this theme song "Anxiang", in addition to being a pop song with classical music thinking, has a simple melody, grand orchestration, and a perfect combination of lyrics and music. It also blends perfectly with the plot, and the melody is closely linked to the content.
In this way, the theme song and the plot complement each other. As long as the melody comes together, it can make people recall the classic scenes in the TV series. So far, the audiences are most impressed by two dramas.
One is called "The Legend of White Snake" and the other is called "Journey to the West".
Coincidentally, these two dramas, as well as the upcoming drama, are all Lin Fan's works. And the first two have been verified by the market and are very good-looking and classic TV dramas that are worth reviewing frequently.
So, can we also prove that the upcoming "A Noble Family" will also have the same quality and level as the previous two works? PS: "An Xiang", Sha Baoliang
