Superstar Aspirations

Ling Xiao's life can't be regarded as ups and downs, but it hasn't been smooth sailing either.

Among the audience watching the premiere of "Black Clouds", most of them have a certain understanding of his music life, have heard his songs, and know the awards he has won, but they never know that in a perfect song Behind it, there are creators scrapping manuscripts again and again, seeking inspiration again and again, and every failed attempt in the recording studio.

The first half of "Black Clouds" can definitely be regarded as a successful commercial inspirational film. An unknown amateur singer was discovered by scouts, entered the entertainment circle, released singles, released albums, held the first concert in his life, and gained Won the first trophy and gained countless fans who love him.

The progress of the whole movie is very fast, never dragging its feet, telling the story directly.

Among them, many celebrities have already appeared, and many celebrities just flashed by in the camera. The audience just let out an exclamation, and before they had time to call out the other party's name, the other party had already finished the scene.

This design not only gives the movie a fast-paced sense of refreshment, but also ensures that the audience will not play.Many film critics and fans have been worrying about "whether the leading actor can overwhelm the guest star" before the film's release, but now it seems that there will be no problem.

Halfway through the movie, the audience is already immersed in Ling Xiao's story, unable to extricate themselves.

Such a warm and kind young man is alone in the entertainment circle, his talent is his weapon, and his gentleness makes no hard-hearted person have the heart to hurt him.Even if he is tripped, he will accept it seriously, he will blame the other party, but he will also forgive the other party.

There is a kind of person called the Virgin. When watching the plot of "Black Clouds", some film critics quietly wrote this word in the notebook they carried with them.But after looking at it for a while, he crossed out the two words.

Generosity to others, no bottom line principle, that is the Holy Mother.

To have a tolerant heart towards the world is tenderness.

When the audience watched with relish for an hour, the plot reached a turning point: Ling Xiao was not satisfied with the song he wrote, and seemed to have encountered a bottleneck.On this day, he stayed alone in the recording studio for an afternoon, and when he left again, he was the only one left in the empty corridor, walking quietly.

Then, he finally met the best friend and partner of his life.

Seeing Qin Cheng's handsome and profound face appear on the big screen, countless fans clenched their fists excitedly, and many fans who worked so hard to get a movie ticket for the premiere even pulled each other, excited Almost yelled.

On the big screen, one person is carefree and reckless, while the other is gentle and kind, smiling and polite.

"How about working with me?"

"I write lyrics, you write songs..."

"Ling Xiao, you need me, you must, need me."

There is only a short distance of five centimeters apart!In a dimly lit movie theater, two men stare intently at each other on the screen.An imperceptible smile floated on Qin Cheng's lips, and he looked at the young man in front of him deeply, as if he had already held him firmly in his hand.But Rong Xu was very surprised, his clear pupils kept trembling.

This is the first time Ling Xiao and Gu Mingxiu met.

Then, there was a feast of two strong teams joining forces.

"The Other Shore", "The Revolving Lantern of Paradise", "Norwegian Canyon"...

Ling Xiao's classic songs appeared in the film one after another. They wrote songs one by one and wrote lyrics by the other. They cooperated tacitly and were known as the golden combination in the Chinese music scene.In the next 17 years, Gu Mingxiu only wrote five lyrics for other singers, and all other songs were Ling Xiao's.

From love songs to rock and roll, Ling Xiao can write whatever he sings, and Ling Xiao can sing whatever he writes.

This paragraph makes people's blood boil, as if they have returned to the past.Many film critics also think of the old days, when the streets and alleys were full of Ling Xiao's songs, if you haven't heard his songs, you will be despised by others, and it is not ordinary to be able to get the title of "God of Songs" singer.

Then, there was a rare quarrel. Ling Xiao didn't want to quarrel, so he had to leave first. When they met again, there was already a white cloth separating them, and they could no longer hear a word from this person.

Rong Xu's crying scene was shown on the big screen, coupled with the film dubbing, which brought tears to the eyes of countless people present.The audience at the premiere had seen Rong Xu perform this crying scene before, so they were a little prepared, but they really saw that in the hospital with pale walls, the always gentle young man laughed and cried at the same time, and said stubbornly, "He It's not Gu Mingxiu", the tears still flow down uncontrollably.

Movies have such a charm that they can render and infect people.And a good actor can allow you to experience the inner world of the character more deeply, as if you have become him, and feel the emotion of losing a close friend, despair and collapse.

The scene of the premiere was like this, and in other movie theaters across the country, those unprepared audiences were all stunned.Of course Ling Xiao's fans knew about Gu Mingxiu's death in a car accident, but they didn't expect that it would be released in this movie to such an extent.

The young man who was always smiling was still smiling at this time.But how much you like that he can cry unrestrainedly, and even wish to pain and cry for him, but he still wants to laugh, even if the tears blurred his vision, he stubbornly deceived himself while crying tremblingly .

In the Guangming Theater in S City, a boy who accompanied his girlfriend to watch the premiere just woke up from his sleep, and saw the tear-stained face of the girlfriend next to him, who didn’t even eat the popcorn, and her hands froze in mid-air, crying silently .The boy was startled immediately: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you, why are you crying? Who bullied you, I'll teach him a lesson for you! I..."

"To shut up!"

Angry voices came from all directions, and the boy immediately shrank his neck and looked at the big screen aggrieved.What are you doing, isn't this just an ordinary biopic, so touching?Then he should take a look, just a look...

In Impression Studios, Province J, a little girl quickly took off her glasses, wiped off the tears on them, and quickly put them back on.But not long after she put it back on, tears wet the lenses again.While wiping her glasses, the little girl choked up and complained: "This... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Things like this happened in all major movie theaters in China.

And they never expected that this was just the beginning of the climax of this movie.

With Gu Mingxiu's death as the boundary, Ling Xiao was depressed for a while, and then returned to the music scene.He worked harder and put himself into work, using himself as two people, writing songs and lyrics, and constantly refreshing the record sales records he set.

Then, he got sick.

Ling Xiao fell down at a concert. He held a concert with 10 people for three consecutive days in City B. During the penultimate song of the last day, he sang "The Revolving Lantern of Heaven" , suddenly stopped the sound.

The audience was silent, everyone was staring at him, at the God of Songs on the big screen.

He stared blankly at a point of nothingness in the air, and suddenly fell down unexpectedly!

The diagnosis was a brain tumor, and it was in the late stage.

In the movie, Zhao Chuyun kept blaming herself, why didn't she find out earlier, how could she be so negligent as a manager.But she can't be blamed for this, she is a woman with a husband and children, it is impossible for her to stay in Ling Xiao's house 24 hours a day, to accompany him and take care of him.

There are warning signs of brain tumors. Ling Xiao had had headaches many times before, but he never checked and told Zhao Chuyun.He only knows how to bury his head in writing songs and keep singing, but now he is sick like a mountain, fans are crying and sending blessings to his idol, and friends in the entertainment circle are also visiting him one by one.

In the last few years, Ling Xiao lived extremely peacefully.

On the screen, he was wearing a white hospital gown, smiling while lying on the bed, while the audience off-screen were weeping.

Even the boy who was with his girlfriend and just planned to watch a movie casually wiped away his tears, and said in a sour voice: "I can't bear this kind of terminally ill person who is very optimistic and cheerful. Three years ago, my sister was in the hospital bed. , also took my hand, saying that she has no regrets and just wants us to live a good life..."

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Something truly moving, across gender and age, and touching hearts.

Why do so many people like Ling Xiao and his songs?Because in his songs, there are the purest feelings.Why is there so many good singers in the world, but only Ling Xiao is the "God of Songs"?Because he is Ling Xiao.

He donated hundreds of Hope Primary Schools and founded the "Rongyun Fund".Even when encountering the greatest tribulation in life, he can face it with a smile, and face death calmly with a strong and firm heart.Before dying, Mingming was already extremely weak, but he forced a smile on his face and said softly to Zhao Chuyun, "I'll go find him first, those children... I'll leave them to you..."

After Ling Xiao's death, his body was donated. Under Zhao Chuyun's management, the "Rongyun Fund" is still operating stably, and every year it supports thousands of poor and studious children.

The film ends at a priest's mourning, with black clouds covering the entire sky, and the air is suffocating.Countless big names in the entertainment industry came to the scene one after another, standing in front of this person's tombstone, wearing black dresses and holding black umbrellas, to see him off for the last time.

"...he brought us the most moving music, remember him, Ling Xiao."

At the end of the funeral, the dark clouds just cleared.The black clouds slowly broke apart, and a ray of brilliant sunlight leaked out from the cracks in the lead clouds, illuminating the land.The guests put away the black umbrellas, and the black cloud covering everyone's hearts finally disappeared.

Tomorrow will come eventually, and the only thing we can do for the dead is to miss them.

Accompanied by a strange and soothing melody, the picture gradually darkened, and this "Black Cloud" finally came to an end.

The two-hour movie has come to an end.At two o'clock in the morning on the day of the premiere, the movie gave every audience its own answer sheet, and the audience will soon give it their own evaluation.

The crew of "Black Clouds" could not know the situation in other cinemas, but in the Capital Grand Theatre, when the credits of the cast and crew appeared, there was a roaring applause in an instant.There were whimpers mixed with the applause, and many audience members clapped hard while their eyes were red.

The specially invited directors also stood up to congratulate Director Liang one by one. The applause from the audience for a full 3 minutes has already told everyone their evaluation of the movie.

Rong Xu stood up, turned his body, and glanced lightly over the entire audience.

"Black Clouds" is his first key to open the door of China's film industry. This key is very dangerous. If you use it well, you will gain unlimited benefits.But today, he finally really opened the door a crack.

At two o'clock in the morning that night, many ordinary viewers who had finished watching the movie couldn't wait to express their thoughts online, and the film critics also immediately logged into their personal accounts, and couldn't help but want to publish all their words.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, when netizens wake up and turn on their mobile phones, casually scrolling through Weibo and posting bars, the number one trending search of the day will catch their eyes: #黑色云表#.
