"I can't see through you because you're a lost soul."
"I can't guess the color of your pupils..."
Just as Zheng Chao and Zhao Li were sitting on the sofa in their bedroom listening to music at night.
At the same time.
Inside the editing room of the film "Painted Skin," which has just finished filming.
Director Chen Jia also received the original soundtrack of the song from Wang Yueheng.
I learned that Wang Yueheng had written and recorded his new song so quickly.
Director Chen Jia listened directly to the conversation in the editing room with the assistant director and editor.
Like the Zheng Dynasty.
Before hearing this song, everyone thought Wang Yueheng was just too busy.
Therefore, they chose to "outsource" the song to Zhang Jingying, a singer whose career had faded.
Unexpectedly, this talented female singer started singing right away.
It instantly won over everyone in the editing room.
Director Chen Jia was even somewhat relieved that Wang Yueheng hadn't personally sung the new song!
Even before I've listened to the whole song.
But director Chen Jia was already certain that this was the theme song he wanted!
It's not just his own movie that will be boosted by this theme song.
Even Zhang Jingying, a singer whose career has faded, will definitely rise to the top of the music scene again because of the explosion of this song!
...
Your silhouette is swallowed up by the darkness.
"Let's see what the outcome of the peach blossoms..."
Gradually, amidst the singing...
Editor Xiao Hui had already envisioned the general content of the film's editing in his mind.
Unconsciously, many new ideas and concepts emerged from the singing.
Some movie scenes that he had previously overlooked slowly surfaced in his mind as the song played.
He suddenly realized that he shouldn't completely follow the director's wishes.
Treat the female demon Xiaowei as the main villain in the film.
She is not simply a murderous demon.
She also had an admiration for human generals and heroes, and a thirst for life.
Although she is a demon, she longs to be human, to touch the warmth of real humanity, and to experience the true heartbeat.
Although as the evil one, her fate could only be to perish.
But we can certainly give her a new role!
Loving you is like a heartbeat, hard to feel.
"I can draw you, but I can't capture your essence..."
Immediately afterwards, a new idea for editing the scene popped into Xiao Hui's mind.
In the dead of night, Xiao Wei, a female demon, carefully sketched Wang Sheng's face in front of a bronze mirror with a brush.
The brushstrokes are full of love, yet they can never quite capture the warm, mortal bones of that human being.
She possesses the demonic power to transform into human form, yet she can never truly possess the love and warmth of a human being.
She was jealous of human happiness.
But when it comes to happiness in this world, there is always an insurmountable barrier between us.
When the female demon Xiaowei tried to use her brushstrokes to depict the image of the hero she admired.
On the other side of the screen.
Pei Rong, the wife of a general, sat alone under the lamp, silently stroking Wang Sheng's clothes, her face showing restrained affection and unwavering waiting.
Despite her doubts and pain, she remained steadfast in her role as a wife.
She waited patiently for her husband's return and for him to regain his senses.
Compared to the proactive female demon Xiao Wei.
Her love is a silent protection...
In this way.
The entire film "Painted Skin" is based on a simple and straightforward story of slaying demons and monsters.
It turned into a tragic love story that deeply dissected love itself.
"Aaaaaaah~"
"Ahhhhhh..."
The next moment.
Singer Zhang Jingying's signature dolphin-like high notes suddenly rang out.
It started as a soft, low chant, but gradually became more melodious, lingering, and full of longing.
Then it becomes ethereal and poignant, soaring straight into the clouds.
It was as if the singing didn't come from the vocal cords, but from the tremor of the soul...
