As the soft prelude sounded, the melody of Chen Yijun's new song "Memento" gradually reached his ears.
This song is a campus song with a very soft style. A lot of elements such as guitar and harmonica are used in the prelude. The arrangement is also done by Chen Yijun himself. For that simple, youthful campus time.
In the MV, students in blue and white school uniforms stood neatly on the playground, a red banner of "100th Anniversary Celebration" was hung at the school gate, Chen Yijun returned to his alma mater in a neat suit and skirt, and suddenly came the leather shoes stepping on the floor behind him. With a click, she smiled and turned back—
The camera zoomed in sharply, and she met a pair of dark, clear eyes.
Cheng Xia remembered that in order to show the scene of "reunion after many years", the makeup artist deliberately made Cheng Xia mature, and made Cheng Xia wear a suit shirt and tie, and his hairstyle was as close to the image of a "white-collar youth" as possible. I have to say that makeup and styling can really change a person's aura. Cheng Yiming and Jiang Qiong almost didn't dare to recognize their son—
The adult version of Cheng Xia is too handsome!
The camera shoots directly at the face, the enlarged face still has no flaws, and the facial features are as delicate as carved. In the picture, Cheng Xia seemed to recognize Chen Yijun and showed her a gentle smile.
"Opening the dusty memory, I met you again in my dream..."
Chen Yijun's soft voice sang the first lyric, and the picture in the MV suddenly changed. In the hazy dream, she seemed to have traveled back to her high school days and saw the male god she secretly liked again.
Cheng Xia put on a high school uniform. At that time, he still had the youthful youthfulness on his body, and his smile was bright and sunny.
He was reading in the library, with a very serious look on his profile; he was running on the basketball court, and his shooting posture was neat; he was doing problems in the study room, and occasionally he thought with a pen against his forehead because he could not do a certain problem; He was walking on the campus trail with his schoolbag on his back, the sun shining through the leaves all over his face...
The pictures in the MV change repeatedly, like messy memory fragments.
Chen Yijun passed by the corridor and heard the sound of the piano coming from the house. She stood on tiptoe and looked in. The teenager was sitting in front of the piano, playing the black and white keys earnestly. , dancing lightly on the keys. The notes flowed slowly in his ears, the snow was flying outside the window, and the whole world was so quiet that only the melody of his piano remained.
The cameras are interlaced and the profile of Cheng Xia's face when he plays the piano is as beautiful as a painting under the rendering of highlights and filters.
"I remember the serenity of the starry night after the evening self-study, I remember the green waiting at the school gate, I remember that winter, the notes you played drifted in the air, like snow falling on my heart..."
Every sentence of Chen Yijun's lyrics is perfectly integrated with the picture of the MV.
When shooting, Cheng Xia didn't think it was special, but after editing in the later stage, the soft singing of the goddess was matched with the beautiful pictures in the MV, and even Cheng Xia couldn't help but be brought into this warm but sour memory. inside.
Chen Yijun's clear singing voice is very contagious, and the MV's pictures are handled beautifully. In just a few minutes, it looks like a complete short story. Cheng Xia seems to really feel that kind of young heartbeat and love. And the helplessness and regret that we meet again after adulthood, but you and I have gone far.
At the end of the MV, Chen Yijun met Cheng Xia again in the auditorium. She tried her best to reach out to touch the boy she once liked. In her dream, Cheng Xia also stretched out her hand, just when their fingertips were about to touch. , the surrounding air suddenly shattered like a mirror, and countless fragments flew around, each with Cheng Xia's face printed on it.
The alarm clock rang suddenly, and Chen Yijun sat up abruptly, only to find that the tears from the corners of his eyes wet the pillow.
The singing stopped abruptly, I woke up, and a line of small words slid across the screen—
"To all you who have ever had a crush on someone"
The song was over, but the room was very quiet. My parents were staring at the screen. Cheng Xia didn't know how to describe his mood. This was his first time appearing in public, and the effect was even better than he imagined. Countless times!
When the MV was filmed, it was done in different scenes. Cheng Xia had been rushing to work with Director Zhang for the past few days, and felt very tired. I didn't expect the post-editing, adding some dream special effects, and adding Chen Yijun's music, the effect would be amazing. so perfect.
Cheng Xia asked with an uneasy mood, "Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
Cheng Yiming slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, great, this is the best MV Dad has ever seen!" Cheng Xia thought to himself, you don't usually watch MVs at all, and this is the only MV you've ever watched, right? .
Jiang Qiong's eyes were also wet, and she choked up: "Xia Xia, you are really handsome in front of the camera, and my mother is proud of you."
Parents saw that their son must have a halo filter, but Cheng Xia was still very happy to be praised, and his parents' excitement also infected him. He quickly turned on his mobile phone and searched the Internet for comments.
The other three music platforms have released new songs simultaneously.
There are not many singers who released new songs on Valentine’s Day today. Once Chen Yijun’s song was released, it immediately landed on the single-day search chart and ranked first in the sales chart. The sales volume of Kumi, a music platform alone, exceeded that in just 4 minutes. Six figures, the click-through rate of the MV is also skyrocketing.
Cheng Xia clicked into the MV to see-
Countless colorful barrages slid past: "Little brother is so handsome, a proper school draft!" "Which school did you invite? He looks so good-looking." "Sister Jun has a good eye, this time the MV The protagonist is very temperamental, laughing so hard that my heart is going to melt!"
The barrage during the piano playing was even more frantic. The entire phone screen was almost smeared by the fans' barrage. Cheng Xia slowed down the barrage and adjusted the display rate to 50% to see it clearly.
"Ah, the hand control is satisfying!" "These hands are so beautiful, I really want to know what it feels like to hold hands with him~" "Little brother, can I touch your hands?" "The hands that are born to play the piano are from Did the conservatory find it?" "I want to get into the screen and lick his hand, I know I'm a bit perverted!""
Cheng Xia: "..."
Seeing the enthusiastic messages from fans, Cheng Xia rubbed his fingers lightly, and his cheeks couldn't help but get hot. What kind of tiger and wolf words are these? Anyone else want to get into the screen and lick his hand? Do not make jokes!
At this moment, a WeChat message from the agent suddenly popped up on the phone: "Cheng Xia, look at Weibo, Chen Yijun's new song is trending! She also circled you, and your Weibo has exploded!"
Cheng Xia hurriedly opened Weibo.
The seventh hot search item #陈一君新歌#, the hot search item 15 #Memory FragmentFirst Release#.
Click on the news released by Chen Yijun's new song, the most popular one is from Chen Yijun's own Weibo, she wrote a lot of words of thanks, and finally circled Cheng Xia: "Here, I would like to introduce you to the starring of the new song MV @cheng Xia, I have a good eye, right? Cheng Xia is handsome and serious, he played the piano section himself, Cheng Xia is a tenth grade piano professional! [Niu][Beer]"
Chen Yijun's fans screamed wildly and flooded into Cheng Xia's Weibo.
He originally had less than 200 followers on Weibo, but as a result of Chen Yijun's promotion, his Weibo actually gained 100,000 followers in a short period of time! When Cheng Xia opened Weibo, her fingers were shaking!
100,000, he has never seen so many fans!
It's just a 4-minute MV, Chen Yijun @ him once, and he has 100,000 more followers? ! terrible!
The number in the private message has become 1350+, which is impossible to see.
Cheng Xia was overwhelmed, and hurriedly posted a Weibo as instructed by the agent: "Thank you for your attention, thank you @陈一君 Goddess for giving me this opportunity, I like sister Yijun's songs very much, and I am honored to participate in the recording of this MV. . I hope everyone can support Sister Jun's new song. [Flowers] [Flowers]"
Chen Yijun's fans immediately left messages excitedly.
Cheng Xia only thanked Chen Yijun from the perspective of fans and helped Chen Yijun to promote it. After all, the MV is the "accessory" of the song, and Chen Yijun is the protagonist. As an actor in an MV, I overemphasize that I will take over.
Chen Yijun's fans also felt that the little brother who helped the goddess to promote is very cute, and they screamed under his Weibo, and a large number of fans said they wanted to see him play the piano.
Director Zhang had long guessed that the MV would have this effect after the release. Therefore, he recorded Cheng Xia playing the piano completely. Taking advantage of the hunger and thirst of fans, Director Zhang simply threw it out on his personal Weibo. Chen Yijun also forwarded the full version of Cheng Xia's performance of "Snow Fantasy".
As soon as this tidbit was released, the forwarding volume immediately broke six figures!
The tidbits did not add any filters or post-production special effects. It was just a simple video. Cheng Xia sat in front of the piano and played the whole piece seriously. The teenager either closed his eyes and reveled in the music, or smiled and looked at The black and white keys in front of him, his flexible hands quickly danced on the keys, and the melodious piano notes played in the closed music room.
The piano is also very professional.
Fans played it repeatedly and forwarded comments, and as a result, Zhang Daofa's #chengxiaplayingqin tidbits# became a hot search again!
On Valentine's Day, Chen Yijun's airborne single became popular all over the Internet, and the song was discussed everywhere. There were also many professional comments from music critics and fans' feelings after listening to the song on major music platforms.
"I can't help but think of the senior Beta I had a crush on in high school. Cheng Xia's image is very close to the campus male god. He is really a fresh, natural and handsome face."
"Chen Yijun's song is well written, and the MV is also very good. The MV's protagonist's image, temperament and acting skills are all online. I heard that he is a newcomer to Tianxuan. I am optimistic about his development."
"I'm a Beta girl, and Sister Jun's song is written in my heart! Also, I want to become a fan of Cheng Xia, she plays the piano very well!"
"… "
One comment after another made Cheng Xia's eyes heat up.
In the 4-minute MV, so many people remembered him, which was completely unexpected to him.
It was the first time he felt that he was loved and followed by so many people, the first time he experienced the fear of being overwhelmed by messages on Weibo, and the first time he discovered that when he saw himself on TV, the feeling was even worse than he imagined. Countless times better.
It was his childhood dream to be an actor, and now his dream has only been realized, and he has to continue to work hard.
Just when Cheng Xia was excitedly commenting, Pei Shaoze sent another message: "Cheng Xia, your ability to attract fans exceeds my expectations, and your Weibo fans have exceeded 300,000."
Cheng Xia hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Pei for giving me this opportunity, and Sister Jun and Director Zhang for helping to promote it!"
Pei Shaoze said calmly: "This is just the beginning, you still have a long way to go. The music circle is a little popular, and it is far from being famous in the film and television circle. Keep calm and prepare to join the group to shoot a new drama. "
Cheng Xia sent a smile: "Okay President Pei!"
He always felt that President Pei was a bit like his high school head teacher. Although he was more serious, his words made sense.
At this time, Pei Shaoze was turning on the computer, and the picture on the computer was frozen in the scene of Cheng Xia playing the piano in the MV.
Pei Shaoyan came to intercede with his brother with coffee, and wanted to be cheeky and order pocket money. As soon as I pushed the door, I saw my brother staring at the computer screen, his eyes were... strangely gentle
He put his head close and saw Cheng Xia at a glance, Pei Shaoyan couldn't help but said, "Who is this?"
Pei Shaoze withdrew his gaze, and his voice was flat: "Tianxuan singer Chen Yijun's new song MV."
Pei Shaoyan pointed at the person in the computer: "I mean he looks very good-looking, brother, were you looking at him just now?"
Pei Shaoze frowned displeasedly: "Has the task assigned to you been completed?"
Pei Shaoyan immediately put on a bitter face: "Why are you like my high school head teacher, assigning homework to me every day! I'm so old, I still have to write homework for you... "
Pei Shaoze said: "It will be completed within a week, otherwise, half of the salary will be deducted next month."
Pei Shaoyan asked curiously, "How much salary do you pay me?"
Pei Shaoze thought about it and said, "According to the company's interns, if the performance is good, it will be 3,500 a month."
Pei Shaoyan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood - he used to be able to spend 35,000 yuan a month!
As a result, Pei Shaoze added: "If you don't perform well, I'll give you 500."
Pei Shaoyan: "..."
Seeing his brother's grief and indignation, Pei Shaoze was overjoyed: "Aren't you going to do your homework yet?"
Pei Shaoyan sullenly turned around and left.
Only then did Pei Shaoze turn on the computer screen.
When shooting the MV that day, he passed by the piano room and saw the scene of Cheng Xia playing the piano, and he was very impressed. Now, when I look at the post-processed MV, after adding a hazy dream effect, the young man sitting quietly in front of the piano has a faint halo around his body, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
He can understand why after the tidbits of Cheng Xia playing the piano were released, Weibo soared to 300,000 followers.
Serious and good-looking boy, really attractive.
Pei Shaoze felt a sense of relief that "the little seedlings I planted have been recognized".
Don't worry, Cheng Xia, what are 300,000 fans? This is just the beginning.
