The entertainment industry, a dazzling and sad place

I don't know why the title of the film was actually translated into "K-Song Lover", which almost made me vomit blood. However, if it is literally translated into "The Story of the Composer and Lyricist", it seems even more disgusting. You know, when it comes to movies, the name is very important. If it wasn't for a friend's recommendation, I wouldn't watch a movie with such a vulgar name.

It's a very relaxed love sketch, although the story is a little thin, but the overall soundtrack is very good, making up for this shortcoming.

One was an out-of-date singer in the 1980s, who performed pitiful performances all day long, wearing tight-fitting leather pants, twisting his waist with difficulty, almost dislocating, to go crazy for those mistresses who were obsessed with him.
One is a slightly neurotic woman, who has suffered a little betrayal, a little hurt, and a little cute inferiority complex.
When the two meet, the male protagonist reaches a bottleneck in his career. If he breaks through, the sky will rise. If he fails, he will return to his original shape. In anxiety, they discovered the "peerless talent" of the heroine in writing lyrics, so the two helped each other fight each other in the grievances and hatreds, and finally succeeded in making a song, and then the misunderstanding was resolved.

The film seems simple and superficial, but there are many interesting details. The most profound thing for me is the outdated singer, that is, the male protagonist, his downfall.
It is said that since ancient times, the beauty is like a famous general, and the world is not allowed to turn white. How many Andy Laus or Jacky Cheung are there in this world. As time goes by, the evergreen tree in the entertainment industry is not something everyone can do. Thinking about it now, Andy Lau and others also started the farewell concert, why? Have money or not? Pretending to be aloof? NO, not at all, he is old and his physical strength is gone. Although it has been said that he goes to a certain country every year to get tens of thousands of sheep placenta essence, what's the use of that? Face still matters. I remember that when he and Cecilia Cheung filmed "The Mouse Falls in Love with the Cat", Cecilia Cheung was mad at Liu Tianwang washing his face with milk every day, but when the two faces were put together, he still sweated for Liu Tianwang, what do you think? It's not a couple's file but seems to be a father-daughter file.
Women are fine, if you are beautiful enough and talented enough, you can marry into a wealthy family, be a wealthy family with little milk, and wear expensive clothes. Otherwise, why would our Carina Lau, Li Jiaxin and even Rosamund Kwan work so hard and not be low-key at all? ? Not for your own future?
On the contrary, men are not so lucky. It’s not uncommon to say that they are little white faces, but after all, in this era, no matter how loud the status is equal, the chauvinism has been flowing around us for thousands of years, isn’t it? Besides, there are not no rich women, but there are always a little less than the rich men, right?
Thinking about Gong Xinru's estate case some time ago, I first stated that there was no personal attack, but I felt it was a bit ugly, and I had to twist it into the truth. Hey, the world is getting worse.
All in all, in short, time is the cruelest thing. What's wrong with the entertainment industry?
I remember that Zhou Huimin held a high-profile press conference at that time, claiming that when she came back, it was said that the dress she wore was also borrowed. But so what? Then there is the brilliance, the pure and beautiful girl of the year, even if she is still pure now, her youth is no longer there. There are still a lot of girls in the entertainment industry, who are the same pure, even younger and cheaper. So she is still silent up to now. If she and Ni Zhen get married as soon as possible, and she goes into hiding as soon as possible, I will think that they are such a perfect couple, but now, I only feel sorry for her.
A perfect curtain call, a gorgeous turn around, few people can do it.
They are all in a position that is neither awkward nor embarrassing. As they grow old and lose their passion, their style remains the same, and they perform less and less, even though they used to be very popular.

Well, don't talk about the past, let it all continue.

The movie is over. After the subtitles come out, watch the tidbits carefully. The two of them write lyrics and compose music. In ancient Chinese terms, they are the ones who sing and sing together. Immortal blessings are always enjoyed, and longevity is equal to that of heaven. Oh yeah! ! !
