Chapter 1119 "As Long as You Are Here"
The hard work of Lai Siu-tung and the other two quickly made their new TV series famous.
In fact, even if they don't work so hard, Shanghai Satellite TV will vigorously promote this drama. After all, this is the most important step for Shanghai Satellite TV to create its second prime time.
Moreover, the audience is also very clear that it is becoming less and less common for Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang and Zhou Xiang to appear in the same TV series. It is even possible that this will be the last time for the three of them to work together.
Because Li Xiaodong is already a first-line actor, although Lu Bingyang is slightly behind Li Xiaodong in movies, his development in TV dramas is better than Li Xiaodong, and he is also a first-line actor.
Although Zhou Xiang is still a quasi-first-tier star now, the movie Lin Fan made for her has already been completed and is just waiting for its release to successfully push Zhou Xiang to the first-tier position.
Even for the Earthling Studio, which has a lot of first-line stars, there is no such waste of resources. It is really a waste of resources to cram three first-line actors into one TV series.
Three first-line stars can at least support three TV series! If they are combined and arranged a little bit, they can shoot more TV series. There is really no need to waste such good actors.
So, let’s cherish the present time.
Otherwise, it would be like Lin Fan and Xia Yan. How long has it been since we last saw them perform together? Now when everyone sees Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang, and Zhou Xiang performing on the same stage, they don't think it's anything special. But in the future, maybe three or four years later, when they look back, they will realize how luxurious this lineup is.
Just like Lin Fan and Xia Yan, unless it is their own wish, no matter how much money others spend, they will not be able to invite them to co-star in the same film or TV series.
Shanghai TV also released the trailer and theme song of the drama in a timely manner.
Needless to say, the theme song and all the soundtracks in the drama were produced by Lin Fan. Unfortunately, this time Lin Fan did not sing it himself, but gave it to the three main characters Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang and Zhou Xiang to sing.
Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang are okay, at least they both came from boy bands. Although their singing skills are average, they still have a solid foundation. They have not neglected their time because of acting over the years, so it is still easy for them to sing a theme song.
Zhou Xiang is not so good. She is a standard actor with good lines, but her singing skills are almost non-existent. Asking her to sing the theme song is harder than killing her.
But being the protagonist of a TV series and singing the theme song of the TV series is also a good thing for an actor. What's more, this is a song written by Lin Fan himself. Zhou Xiang would be stupid to give up this opportunity.
If she doesn't have the singing skills, then ask a music teacher to come back and teach her. There's no need to teach overly professional things. Just teach Zhou Xiang how to make her voice, how to use her voice, and how to put her emotions into the lyrics and melody.
By teaching you sentence by sentence, word by word, you will always be able to sing this song well.
So, Zhou Xiang gritted his teeth and worked hard for a whole month before finally finishing the song "As Long as You Are There".
This time, the trailer released by Shanghai TV used the song "As Long as You Are Here" as the background music. While watching the interaction between the main characters in the trailer, the audience listened to this lingering love song and the beautiful love described in the simple lyrics.
"Can anyone tell me if there is such a pen?
I can draw a pair of eyes that don’t shed tears, I can keep the fleeting time in the world, I can make all the beauty never fade away again——"
The first line of the song was sung by Zhou Xiang. As soon as Zhou Xiang started to sing, both professionals and non-professionals could tell that she had no singing skills at all, and she was singing with only emotions! However, it was this kind of singing style full of personal emotions that matched the simple lyrics perfectly, making people fall into this sweet and lingering love as soon as they heard it.
"If this is the case, I can comfort myself
In the night without you
Can draw a ray of light
Keep happiness
All of them are sent to you. The bitter taste has turned into sweetness——"
Unlike Zhou Xiang, Lai Siu-tung's singing skills are pretty good and his emotions are quite rich, but not as strong as Zhou Xiang's, and there is a hint of tenacity in his singing.
It's like carrying more responsibilities on your shoulders, giving all the happiness and beauty to your loved one, and bearing all the hardships by yourself, not wanting your loved one to worry about it.
Zhou Xiang's voice became louder, with a will to move forward courageously, with trust in love, with expectations for the future, she sang out the deepest desire in her heart: "From now on, we don't have to separate the heaven and earth of love. We can still meet again in the same sky, moon and sun——"
But in love, there is never a distinction between you and me, only between love and not love.
Being together as lovers is the happiest thing in the world.
Zhou Xiang and Li Xiaodong's voices combined, one strong, the other tough, intertwined, like a couple in love, giving each other their hearts:
"As long as I have you in my life, everything can change, and all the shooting stars can meet at any time——"
Lai Siu-tung also improved his attitude, as if he wanted to offer his most sincere heart to the person he loved the most, with sincerity and expectation:
"From now on, there will be no more helpless separation in this world.
I don't have to keep my eyes open to watch you walk away."
The two voices merged again, singing their promise:
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"There is no youth that goes bad, there is no love that is lost
All promises are as eternal as the stars—"
…
The audience was attracted by this simple yet lingering song, but soon their attention was captured by the content of the trailer.
Especially in the trailer, when Lai Siu-tung, with a pitch-black face, and Zhou Xiang, with straw on her head, had a brief but humorous interaction in the chaotic crowd, the audience couldn't help but want to cover their eyes.
[The one riding a white horse may not be a prince, but may be Tang Monk: Oh my god, I am so disappointed with Brother Fan's makeup aesthetics! Who would ruin the face of their male lead like this? And what the hell is that straw on the head of the female lead? Brother Fan, can you do some fairy-like ancient costume styling, and stop challenging the bottom line of aesthetics? 】
[You look really save traffic: Is this your first time watching a Fan Ge drama? Fan Ge’s TV series are famous for their weird makeup and styling, but they are full of mysterious confidence. If you watch them for a long time, you will find that your aesthetic taste will be led astray by Fan Ge, and it is the kind that no one can pull back.
So, give up and lie down. For me, I think Brother Fan’s makeup is pretty good-looking! And it’s unique in China, and no one can imitate it. 】
[Living by the sea, I love to surf: You’ll get used to it. Lai Siu-tung’s baby face is painted black, which makes him look more stable. But am I the only one who noticed Lu Ge’s good looks? ]
【映风尿三丈: Me, me, me! I also noticed Lu Ge's good looks! I didn't expect that after playing Jin Yanxi in "The Story of a Noble Family", Lu Ge would have such a good-looking look!
I looked at Brother Lu and finally understood why those fox demons, rabbit demons and other monsters favored these weak scholars! 】
…
Moreover, this TV series is an ancient idol suspense drama, and its main focus is on solving cases and mysteries. Compared with those ancient idol dramas on the market that claim to save the people but are actually about love from beginning to end, it is simply a breath of fresh air.
Moreover, Earthling Studios has also proved their strength in the suspense genre with the film "Detective Chinatown", so the audience's expectations are raised even higher.
PS: "As Long as You" by Na Ying/Sun Nan Full of memories!
