Rebirth of the Wild Age

Paper cranes have existed in China since ancient times, and they belong to children's toys.

But it is different in Japan, it is endowed with many meanings, such as: praying for blessings!

Every time there is a flood or an earthquake every day, and the water and electricity are cut off in the disaster-stricken area, they receive carloads of paper cranes. As a result, some people publicly stated: Please don’t donate paper cranes, which not only take up space and transportation resources, but also are not easy to throw away, eat, or sell for money. It's all just the donor's self-satisfaction, so why don't you donate the money to make the thousand paper cranes, please!

I don't know when, the thousand paper cranes spread from Japan to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they were labeled as love. It is said that paper cranes have the magic power of the god of love. When girls in Japan are 13 years old, they often fold a thousand paper cranes and give them to the boy they like.

But thousand paper cranes are not yet popular in mainland China. Lin Zhuoyun doesn't even know what thousand paper cranes are. She asked: "Why do you sing in the lyrics, fold a thousand pairs of paper cranes, and solve a thousand wishes? Thousand paper cranes use Did you come to make a wish?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "There is a legend in Japan that as long as you fold an origami crane a day and persist for a thousand days, you can bring happiness to the person you like. Therefore, they also call the origami crane a thousand origami cranes. "

"Really?" Lin Zhuoyun asked.

"What do you think?" Song Weiyang said.

Lin Zhuoyun smiled and said, "It must be fake, but this legend is very beautiful. By the way, please sing this song quickly, and let me see if it sounds good."

Song Weiyang knocked on the table to beat the beat, singing a cappella: "Love is too deep, it is easy to see scars; love is too real, so it is hard to leave... Fold a thousand pairs of paper cranes, and solve a thousand wishes. After waking up from the dream, the love is endless Wandering again. My heart, no regrets, folds and folds are all for you. My tears, endless flow, entangled in dreams and burdens at night..."

After listening to it, Lin Zhuoyun was pleasantly surprised and said, "This song you wrote is very nice. I didn't expect you to be a musical genius."

"A song of saliva, how can it be called a musical genius." Song Weiyang waved his hand.

Lin Zhuoyun said: "If a professional musician writes this kind of song, he can't be regarded as a genius. But you are different. You don't even know the score, and you just wrote the song like this."

"Ashamed." Song Weiyang said with shame.

"Thousand Paper Cranes", one of the top ten Chinese golden songs next year, people who have experienced that era can hum a few lines even if they don't know how to sing. Because for a period of time, it was playing all over the street, and every TV station was also playing it, and the ears were almost hearing the cocoons.

As for the original creator, Mr. Tai Zhengxiao, the "Prince of Digital Love Songs", you should continue to study mathematics. "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses" and "Arabian Nights" are also very good.

Lin Zhuoyun said: "Sing this song, will your new canned food sell well?"

"I still have to make up a story," Song Weiyang said, "a young man and a woman met when they were buying cans in the mall. The boy taught the girl to fold a thousand paper cranes, saying that as long as a thousand paper cranes were folded, God would grant her wish." When the two were about to get married, the boy suddenly suffered from leukemia, and the girl insisted on origami cranes for the boy. On the day when he folded a thousand cranes, the boy closed his eyes forever."

"It's that simple?" Lin Zhuoyun shook her head and said, "It's too general, I should add details, and I might as well write a novel."

Song Weiyang said: "The novel is too laborious, of course the details have to be added, but it's enough to make it into a MV."

"What is the MV?" Lin Zhuoyun asked.

Song Weiyang explained: "We sang karaoke that day, and the MV was shown on the TV."

"Music video," Lin Zhuoyun asked, "MV is the abbreviation of Music Video?"

"Yes." Song Weiyang nodded.

The ancestors of MVs in mainland China are Tu Honggang and Zhang Guoli. Three years ago, Tu Honggang approached Zhang Guoli and said that he would make a MV for his new song. Zhang Guoli didn't know what an MV is, so he just watched a few foreign MVs and shot them blindly, and other singers also followed suit when they shot MVs—that is, the singer faced the camera, singing for a while, walking around for a while, and at most came back again. A supporting role (beauty and handsome guy) walks around.

The MV in the true sense of the mainland has to wait until "Farewell My Concubine" in 1996.

Lin Zhuoyun asked: "Can MVs also tell stories?"

"Of course it can tell a story, you can understand it as a miniature movie." Song Weiyang said.

Lin Zhuoyun suddenly excitedly said: "Let me sing this song, let me shoot the MV too, how interesting it is."

Song Weiyang asked: "Are you planning to become a singer?"

"Inappropriate," Lin Zhuoyun shook her head repeatedly, "If I become a singer, my father will definitely break my leg."

"Is that a play ticket?" Song Weiyang said.

"Well, it's just for fun, it's quite interesting." Lin Zhuoyun smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Song Weiyang stared at Lin Zhuoyun for a while, then suddenly said, "Why don't you come and be the image spokesperson for the canned 'Thousand Paper Cranes'."

Lin Zhuoyun asked: "What is an image spokesperson?"

Song Weiyang explained: "When selling canned food, print your photo on it."

"No, no." Lin Zhuoyun waved her hands repeatedly.

"You've already shot the MV, and you'll definitely be famous by then, and you won't have one more image spokesperson. It's fun, let's try it," Song Weiyang encouraged, "I'll even give you a endorsement fee."

"It's not about money," Lin Zhuoyun said, "I'll think about it later."

Song Weiyang said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the provincial capital to find Xikang Audiovisual Publishing House to cooperate with recording songs, and then I will find the director and actors to shoot the MV. You only have a few days to think about it."

Lin Zhuoyun leaned on the table with her head tilted, her fingers kept twirling her hair, and said, "I want to try it too, but I'm afraid my dad won't agree."

"There are too many things he disagrees with, you listen to everything?" Song Weiyang had a deep resentment towards that old man.

"That's right." Lin Zhuoyun giggled, like a little girl doing bad things behind her parents' backs.

Although Song Weiyang was not familiar with this aunt in his previous life, he had heard many stories from his wife and knew Lin Zhuoyun's character very well.

She was born when her parents closed the cowshed. She suffered a lot in the countryside in her childhood, and was doted and disciplined even more when she returned to the city. Spoiling is only in the aspects of life, such as dressing well and eating well, but discipline is in all aspects, and one is not allowed to do this or that. So a good girl who is ignorant of the world was born, she likes to play, talk about literature, talk about ideals, yearn for love, but can't find herself.

Until one day, Lin Zhuoyun met a young man, and the two quickly fell in love. The young man is a Chinese-American who is working in a foreign company and will soon be transferred back to the US headquarters.

The father strongly opposed the marriage, and even said harsh words to sever the relationship between father and daughter. The rebellion hidden in Lin Zhuoyun's bones finally broke out, and she actually eloped with that man. Due to the differences between Eastern and Western cultures and various conflicts after marriage, the man had a bad temper and beat him up when he was in a hurry. Lin Zhuoyun endured it for 11 years before choosing to divorce.

At this moment, Lin Zhuoyun didn't dare to rebel the big one, but the small rebellions emerged one after another. For example, her father asked her to work in a government agency, but she insisted on resigning, and even went to a different city to become a teacher.

Fighting with your father is a lot of fun!

After deciding to be the image spokesperson for the new canned food, Lin Zhuoyun immediately got into the mood, and even offered to help Song Weiyang compose the details of the MV story.

"There must be a wedding dress!" Lin Zhuoyun's eyes shine brightly, "I have always dreamed of wearing a beautiful wedding dress. When filming the MV, I used scenes of boys and girls choosing wedding dresses to show that they are about to get married."

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "Very good idea."

Lin Zhuoyun said: "There must be a library in the camera. Boys and girls read books together. Bookish men are the most attractive."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Whatever you say counts."

"Well, there is also an amusement park, which is the kind of merry-go-round in Hong Kong movies. I have always wanted to ride a merry-go-round." Lin Zhuoyun said.

Song Weiyang said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. It's hard to find carousel horses in mainland China."

The two discussed for a long time, and Chen Tao knocked on the door suddenly and came in: "Chairman, everything is ready, and we will leave on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Well, you've worked hard." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Tao asked: "What are you talking about? I heard it from outside the door."

Lin Zhuoyun said: "We are discussing the MV..."

Lin Zhuoyun had no scheming, and told the story in a blink of an eye.

Chen Tao was a little jealous when she heard this, and she became very competitive. She said, "Chairman, why don't I write the story into a novel, and the title of the book is "A Thousand Paper Cranes."

No need to ask, Chen Tao, a fan of Qiong Yao, must write that kind of Qiong Yao style.

But people still eat that!

When Chen Tao finishes writing, he will find a pen to polish it. When the novel and MV are released together, the canned "Thousand Paper Cranes" will definitely be stir-fried.
