Chapter 119 The Extraordinary "Ordinary Road" Was Sacrificed Again

Qian Qiuyuan works for Guangdian Entertainment. "Thirty" is a movie produced by Guangdian Entertainment. It is easy to get premiere tickets.

Well...technically not a premiere ticket, but an invitation to the premiere.

The creative team and many directors, actors, screenwriters, and media reporters in the industry were invited.

Qian Qiuyuan and the others arrived late, and the premiere ceremony ceremony that started at ten o'clock had already ended.

"At Thirty" will be screened soon.

Entering the theater, the media reporters immediately noticed the arrival of the three people and immediately raised their cameras to take pictures.

"All three cheap guests are here to support us!"

"Sure enough, everyone has to show Tian Lin's face."

""At Thirty" is still a card, so many big names in the industry come to support it."

Reporters discussed and took photos.

There are even people who edit "Entertainment News Briefs" on the spot and send them out. The news must be accurate and up-to-date quickly. Whoever sends it out first can gain first-mover advantage and capture more traffic.

Director Ding Hai stood up to greet him.

Screenwriter Tian Linguang nodded slightly.

"Teacher Qian, Teacher Lu, Teacher Zhai!" Ding Hai greeted enthusiastically.

In Blue Star's entertainment industry, content producers such as music creators, screenwriters, and novelists are highly respected and have a very high status.

The three cheap guests came to support him, and Ding Hai felt his face was bright.

The company even arranged for the three of them to sit down.

After the three humble guests sat down in the cinema, the screening of the movie "At Thirty" officially began.

The lights in the theater are turned off.

Production information for the movie appears on the big screen.

Everyone also became quiet.

Film critic Yi Jiuzhou is also ready to record.

Qian Qiuyuan sat upright, Zhai Nan crossed his favorite legs, and Lu Yu leaned on the back of the chair in the cinema, staring at the screen with waning interest.

Lu Yu has little interest in movies.

He only cares when the theme song composed by the movie Xiaoyao comes out.

With the screening of "At Thirty", the story unfolds and important characters appear one after another.

Ma Yingjie's company, which has repeatedly failed in entrepreneurship, has closed down again. Jiang Hai, who pursues his music ideal, can still only sing in bars. Liu Han works conscientiously in a foreign trade company and has just completed a big order. He thought he could finally be promoted to a higher position. His colleagues also congratulated him in advance, but in the end it was his colleague who was promoted who was not as capable as him, and he was disheartened...

Ma Yingjie, Jiang Hai, and Liu Han are all turning 30 this year.

But each of them was dissatisfied.

They are very close college classmates.

After graduation, they came to Jinghai to work together.

When I first came to Jinghai, I was a fledgling, but I was full of enthusiasm. Seeing the high-rise buildings in Jinghai, bustling with traffic and bustling, Liu Han said: "I will take root here! There will be a place for me in these high-rise buildings in the future."

Ma Yingjie said that his company would flourish in the busiest CBD.

Jiang Hai said that he will be on the most dazzling stage to listen to the screams and shouts of fans.

Now many years have passed, and none of the boasts that were boasted back then have been realized...

The three frustrated people made an appointment to have dinner together that day.

Jiang Hai: "I'm already thirty years old, and I've accomplished nothing! They say you'll stand up at thirty, but I'm still lying on the ground."

Liu Han: "Who isn't? Six years! I have devoted all my youth to the company, but in the end it is no more than flattering others."

Ma Yingjie: "Liu Han, you are pretty good. At least you have a wife and daughter. It's not like my company is gone, my girlfriend is divided, and I owe a lot of debt."

Jiang Hai: "Why are other people so beautiful in their thirties?"

The three friends competed with each other and talked about their current situation and dissatisfaction.

Standing at thirty.

In his prime.

But all three of them felt that life was extremely difficult...the expected career success did not happen, but their lives were miserable.

Zhai Nan: "Why are these three people similar to our three cheap guests?"

Qian Qiuyuan: "Really? Our career has been relatively successful, right? It's much better than them."

Lu Yu: "It's not easy these days."

Lu Yu may have a deeper resonance with the movie. After all, among the three bad guys, Lu Yu had the most difficult journey as a creator. When he first debuted, he was rejected one after another, which made him lose his confidence.

In the movie, after the trio finished complaining, they didn't go on a quick trip like in many movies... They were not qualified. Some people want to make money to support their families, some people want to make money to pay off debts, and some people hope to give it a try one last time. If they can't get ahead, they will leave this bustling city that once made them dream.

After that, the three of them were dissatisfied with reality and went through all kinds of ups and downs and hard work.

Jiang Hai failed to get on a bigger stage and ultimately missed his dream of becoming a star.

Liu Han had no hope of promotion and salary increase, and coupled with the financial burden on his family, he finally resigned and started a business with Ma Yingjie.

Jiang Hai, Liu Han, and Ma Yingjie worked tirelessly and went through many difficulties to finally get the new company on the right track.

But they don't feel like they are winners in life.

Instead, he sighed at the end: "When I was just starting out, I thought that I was very good-natured and different from ordinary people, and even dreamed of changing the world. When the years have washed away the frivolity of youth, I realized that we are so ordinary and ordinary, struggling among all living beings, walking in the world. Let’s take our own ordinary path.”

The three of them were in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the company office, overlooking the high-rise buildings in Jinghai, which were prosperous and prosperous!

The hurried workers are like busy ants.

At this time, the theme song of "At Thirty" finally sounded at the end of the film.

"Wandering on the road

Do you want to leave? Via Via~~

Fragile and proud

That was also what I looked like.”

The theme song at the end of the film sounded at the right time, and the singing with a story-filled voice seemed to summarize the struggle of the three male protagonists in the movie "Thirty".

They once stepped into this prosperous city with ideals and pride, but soon they were hit by reality, shattering all their beautiful illusions, and struggled in confusion.

"Boiling and restless

Where are you going Via Via~~

mysteriously silent

Are you really listening?"

Although I am almost thirty years old and still have accomplished nothing, although I have experienced many setbacks and failures, although I am trapped in struggles and uneasiness... my restless heart still has not stopped its restlessness and boiling.

The fire was still burning brightly.

It tells its ambition and unwillingness.

"I have crossed mountains and seas

Also passed through the huge crowds of people

everything i ever had

In the blink of an eye, everything disperses like smoke

I was once lost, disappointed and lost all direction

Until you see the ordinary is the only answer.”

The song entered the chorus, and the ending scenes began to flash through the hard work of the struggling trio. There were pain and roars of failure, as well as laughter and shouts of success.

In the end, "Until you see the ordinary is the only answer" echoes the lines of the "Three Brothers" at the end of the movie.

In the theater, Qian Qiuyuan heard an actor and guest saying: "It sounds good."

"The lyrics are so touching."

"I don't know why my eyes get wet when I listen to it."

"Reminds me of my journey as an actor."

Qian Qiuyuan is a professional composer, so he can certainly understand the lyrics and melody of this song. Xiaoyao is indeed Xiaoyao... This word is so well written! The sense of immersion is so strong! It matches the plot of the movie.

Yi Jiuzhou had already turned on the recorder and recorded the entire lyrics of the song.

"This theme song is the highlight of the film!! It must be highlighted in the film review." Yi Jiuzhou thought to himself.

Many people in the theater were talking quietly.

"I ruined everything I had

Just want to leave forever

I once fell into boundless darkness

Want to struggle and be unable to extricate myself

I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and flowers

Desperate and longing

I cry and laugh in an ordinary way.”

The lyrics in the second chorus are more explosive.

When the listeners hear the lyrics, they are slowly separated from the plot of the movie and think of their own life and life experiences.

Who hasn’t had a downturn?

Who has never been confused?

Who has not suffered and struggled?

I once looked like him to you like those wild grasses and wild flowers...the wild grasses and wild flowers are short and small. They have beautiful and brilliant moments, but they will also experience the ravages of wind and rain!

It swayed wildly in the wind and rain, its branches and leaves were broken, its lace was scattered, and it was even "knocked down" severely.

But it doesn’t matter, after the wind and rain, it will “stand up” and stand stubbornly between heaven and earth again, facing the sunshine and rain.

Lu Xun, who has nothing to do with Zhou Shuren and Lu Xun, once wrote: "Weeds are not deep at all, and their flowers and leaves are not beautiful, but they absorb dew, water, and the blood and flesh of the dead, each of which robs it of its survival. When it survives, They will still be trampled on, they will be cut down, and they will rot until they die."

I don’t know if the weeds in "The Ordinary Road" are taken from here, or from "Wild fire cannot burn them all, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows."

In short, weeds seem to be weak, but they have tenacious vitality.

You and I, ordinary people,

Why not be tenacious and stubborn?

"Just walk blindly forward (just walk like this)"

Even if you were frightened and confused (given something)

…”

This section is very similar to "Tree Words and Tree Language". The subtitles clearly show those words, but when sung, they are completely different. The taste is very unique.

Either I am walking blindly or I am scared... It is not easy to walk on this ordinary road.

The ending theme song is still playing.

The movie screen also gradually faded to black.

As the lyrics "Where has your story ended" were sung, the song came to an end and the screen turned completely dark.

The sound of typing on the keyboard sounded, and white words were typed on the screen:

I would like to dedicate this film to everyone who persists in their ideals and loves life, who is ordinary but also great. ——"Standing at Thirty".

Snapped!

The lights in the cinema came back on.

The video ends.

Three seconds after the lights came on, Lu Yu said foolishly, "It's over, I was sacrificed."

Lu Yu had seen that his new song "Shine" was gaining momentum before, and thought it could take the top spot. However, after listening to this song "The Ordinary Road", he felt that "Shine" was a little bit uncertain at the top of the list.

Qian Qiuyuan patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't compete with geniuses."

Zhai Nan said: "All A-level songwriters will be sacrificed when faced with this song."

Although Zhai Nan always speaks with an element of exaggeration, he sincerely approves of Xiaoyao's new work, "He must be the strongest newcomer of the year."

On Tian Linguang's side, the directors all said in front of him, "Teacher Tian's song selection is really outstanding! The mood of this ending song is so wonderful."

Director 2: "Yeah, high, really high."

Director 3: “You can always trust Teacher Tian’s vision and aesthetics.”

Tian Linguang simply said: "It's not that I have a good taste, but that Xiaoyao's works themselves are amazing."

Everyone in the premiere hall was full of praise for the ending song "The Ordinary Road".

And very little is said about the movie itself.

Director Ding Hai said to Lao Lang: "There seems to be something wrong. Is there something wrong?"

Lao Lang: "This song! It stole the spotlight from the movie."

Ding Hai: "I don't know whether to cry or laugh."

Lao Lang: "Despair and longing, cry and laugh at the ordinary~" He quoted the lyrics of "The Ordinary Road".

Ding Hai: "..."

…

After the premiere, the first audience came out of the theater after watching "Thirty", including many loyal fans of "guerrillas" who traveled around.

They immediately shared the news that they had finished "Thirty" with fans in the guerrilla circle.

Many people also shared it directly on social platforms.

"Wall Crack recommends "Standing at Thirty", and Xiaoyao's new song "Ordinary Road" sung by Zhou You is amazing!!"

"Right now, the melody of "The Ordinary Road" is still in my mind, and I am confused by Jimei."

“The new song is so good!!”

"Trust me!! You will be amazed."

"I didn't cry while watching the movie, but the ending song made me cry."

"Crying while being sung by the ending song +1"

"Is this the legendary divine song that came out of bad movies since ancient times?"

"Well... this movie isn't bad either! But the song is really amazing!"

After the premiere of "At Thirty", "The Ordinary Road" quickly topped the popular list on Weibo.

However, "Standing at Thirty" only ranked second on the popular list.

The song is more popular than the movie series.

The media also covered it extensively.

Film critic Yi Jiuzhou's film review article was also quickly published.

Yi Jiuzhou has many fans. As soon as his article was published, many people read it.

The title of his article this time is: "The Ordinary Road" is extraordinary, a song directly elevates the movie to a higher level! The finishing touch!

In this article, Yi Jiuzhou briefly described the content of the movie and wrote about "The Ordinary Road" in detail.

His actions triggered crazy ridicule from many fans.

"Kyushu Kyushu!! Have you changed your career to become a music critic?"

"Where's the movie review... The movie review is 300 words! The song review is 3,000 words!! Am I dazzled? Are you sure it's not Wang Xiaoer's music review?"

"Movie review: omitted!"

"Hahaha, I laughed to death. Although the analysis is based on part of the plot, why do I feel that "Thirty" is a MV?"

""The Ordinary Road": An ordinary protagonist passes by quietly."

Music critic Wang Xiaoer also stood up and ridiculed, retweeted film critic Yi Jiuzhou's film review article, and wrote on Weibo: "Let me make it clear that this music review... No, this film review is really not written by me! Support it! Original! Believe in originality!”

The atmosphere online is lively and joyful.

Also because of Yi Jiuzhou's article and Wang Xiaoer's ridicule, the popularity of "The Ordinary Road" and "Standing at Thirty" were completely heated up.

at the same time,

The creative team of "Standing at Thirty" also released "The Ordinary Road" with Big Fish Studio immediately after the movie was released.

The song was suffixed and titled: The theme song of the movie "The Ordinary Road" "Thirty".

Will releasing songs at this time affect the box office?

Won't.

Such operations are routine at Blue Star.

A movie's theme song is released after its premiere.

But not everyone can listen to it during the hit season. Instead, after purchasing movie tickets, ticket buyers can use the ticket code to listen to the theme song for free on the Yueting Music platform!

The income from this part of the music sales will also be subsidized to the platform by the film producers.

The platform then distributes the shares to creators and singers.

The film producers are not at a loss either!

Because the fees related to the song are already included in the movie ticket...it is ultimately the fans who pay the bill.

So there is no free lunch in this world.

The wool comes from the sheep.

After the release of "The Ordinary Road", countless fans and fans rushed in.

"First, first!"

"Front row, front row!"

"I spent 39 yuan to buy a movie ticket just to listen to a song. Is it easy for me?"

"Me too, I don't have time to go to the movies, but I want to listen to music, so I can only spend the price of a movie ticket to listen to "The Ordinary Road""

"So this song costs 39 yuan a piece? Why the hell am I still so happy listening to it, woo woo hoo~ I am not the legendary wronged son, am I?"

"It sounds so good! I'm in tears."

"I listened to it all the way while driving! Xiaoyao and Zhouyou are really gods, treasures! Great love."

The number of song comments increases.

The popularity and ranking of the song have also risen rapidly.

…

The tea room of Qian Qiuyuan's family.

Qian Qiuyuan, Lu Yu, and Zhai Nan were drinking tea while paying attention to the new song list of Yueting Music.

Tasting tea...well, it is a traditional skill of creators! Qian Qiuyuan especially likes two kinds of tea. One is green tea. The other one is green tea. Taste carefully.

Lu Yu refreshes Yueting Music’s new song list.

Qian Qiuyuan: "What's the ranking of "Shine"?"

Lu Yu: "Still third."

After "Shine" was released in the morning, its ranking on the new song list rose rapidly. By 12 noon, it had surpassed "Chengdu" and ranked third!

But no matter what happens later, I can't rush to second place, let alone rush to first place.

"Blue Lotus" and "Summer Wind" are still very strong.

Can't beat it.

Zhai Nan: "What about "The Ordinary Road"?"

Lu Yu: "Fourth."

Zhai Nan: "So fast? Are you crazy!"

"The Ordinary Road" was released just after the movie ended. It's only been a little over an hour and it's already ranked fourth?

And you can only listen to it after purchasing a movie ticket!

High ticket prices will filter out some fans.

Naturally, the performance on the list will be worse!

But the performance of "The Ordinary Road" is not bad! ! !

If it had been released normally, I'm afraid it would have reached the top of the charts by now... It's scary just thinking about it, and I get goosebumps all over my body.

Qian Qiuyuan: "No need to struggle, the sacrifice must be sacrificed."

…

Jinghai, a certain villa.

Creator Guo Pinsheng was sweating after working out. During his break, he played the popular "The Ordinary Road".

Is this Xiaoyao releasing a song again?

Is he a small electric motor?

Da da da!

I’ve been releasing songs too frequently lately.

Too active.

At first, he admired Xiaoyao, but now he feels that this person is too high-profile... He doesn't like high-profile people.

There is even a hint of dissatisfaction with Xiaoyao.

Dominated the top three of the new song chart.

This is arrogant!

Do you feel like there is no one in the music scene?

So arrogant.

Don't tolerate him... Guo Pinsheng muttered in his heart, and then forwarded Lu Yu's "Shine", "I like this song very much!"

As for "The Ordinary Road", he didn't even click in to listen to it.

It costs 39 yuan... none of my songs are that expensive! Why spend 39 listening to Xiaoyao's songs? His arrogance and decency are always there and deeply dominate his behavior.

Guo Pinsheng forwarded "Shine" and said he liked it, but did not mention a word about "The Ordinary Road".

Soon it was seen by many creators in the circle.

They discussed it in their own small groups.

"What does it mean when Guo Pinsheng forwarded "Shine" and said it sounds good?"

"He seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with Xiaoyao."

"I feel the same way..."

"In the morning, three lowly guests gathered together, and I realized that something was unusual."

"Is this to support Lu Yu's "Shine" and maintain the dignity of A-level creators?"

"That seems to be the case!! Xiaoyao punched Guo Pinsheng and stepped on Qian Qiuyuan. The A-level creator was wildly provoked. It's time to fight back."

"Are you going to fight? Are you going to beat up Xiaoyao? You suddenly got excited."

Guo Pinsheng’s repost triggered a lot of interpretations.

Some people say that he is unhappy and happy.

Some people say that he is protecting the A-level creative community and expressing his dissatisfaction with Xiaoyao.

Surprisingly, after Guo Pinsheng reposted it, many A-level creators also reposted "Shine" to support Lu Yu.

After the A-level creators forwarded it, many singers who collaborated with them also started to build momentum for "Shine".

Quietly,

This triggered a competition between "Shine" and "Ordinary Road", Lu Yu and Xiaoyao's new song rankings!

"Damn it!! So many A-level creators are building momentum for Lu Yu?"

"Is this a siege on Xiaoyao?"

"Shivering!! Is that enough for a D-level creator?"

"Maybe it's because Xiaoyao has had many songs dominating the charts for a long time, and it's considered a provocation by A-level songwriters."

"A-level creators need dignity."

"So many people bully Xiaoyao! It's not fair!"

Netizens and fans instantly became excited.

The members of the guerrillas also broke out their cohesion at this time and immediately launched support for Zhou You and Xiaoyao.

A competition without gunpowder begins.

…

Three cheap guests.

Zhai Nan: "What's going on? A-level creators are all building momentum for you."

Qian Qiuyuan: "These people are crazy! The three of us are in a group... We have no intention of targeting Xiaoyao. This is an over-interpretation!"

Lu Yu: "It's okay now, the war is on."

Zhai Nan: "Look at the rankings."

Lu Yu immediately checked the ranking on the new songs list. With many A-level creators promoting and building momentum, "Shine" has already reached the second place, surpassing "Summer Wind".

I have already touched the butt of "Blue Lotus".

There is hope to hit the first place.

The trend of "Ordinary Road" is equally rapid, surpassing "Summer Wind" and rushing to third place, ranking second only to "Shine".

Hold on tightly to the ranking of "Shine".

now,

"Blue Lotus" has 18.99 million hits.

"Shine" has 16.55 million hits.

"The Ordinary Road" has 15.33 million hits!

The popularity gap between "Ordinary Road" and "Shine" is already very small.

This is due to the work of the guerrillas.

At the same time, A-level creators built momentum for Lu Yu and attacked Xiaoyao. This in itself also brought a lot of popularity to Xiaoyao and "The Ordinary Road".

Furthermore,

Li Qingyao, Li Yan, Tang Mi, Jiang Chuxue, Hu Ge, Tian Linguang, Ding Hai, Lao Lang and others saw that Xiaoyao was being "bullied", so they also extended a helping hand at this time to help Xiaoyao and Zhou You publicize and build momentum!

For a time, these two songs were very popular on the charts.

Every minute and every second, the popularity of the two songs is changing.

Lu Yu keeps refreshing the new songs list of Yueting Music.

"Shine" has 17.01 million hits! Breaking through the 17 million mark.

"The Ordinary Road" 16.5 million!

And the popularity of "Shine" is still shrinking.

When it reached 17 million, the popularity of "Shine" began to stop rising, rising by 10,000 to 20,000 per minute.

But "The Ordinary Road" is rising by hundreds of thousands per minute!

Soon the popularity of "The Ordinary Road" also exceeded 17 million.

"Shine" 17.1 million.

"The Ordinary Road" 17.09 million!

The difference is only 10,000 points.

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

The anus suddenly tightened.

It's like being hit by the Thousand-Year Killer.

"It will soon become a stepping stone." Lu Yu looked bitter.

Refresh again next second!

Ranking jumps.

NO.1 "Blue Lotus"

NO.2 "The Ordinary Road"

NO.3 "Shine"

this moment!

Guerrilla fans screamed and cheered.

Netizens who witnessed this moment spoke one after another!

"Another A-level creator has been sacrificed."
