He sings a stream of feathers and gems

Every art practitioner—painters, writers, musicians, poets, etc.—is borrowing their works to say to the world: Please remember me!

The Slogan Feng Tang called out to himself was "Beat time with words." Ha Jin said that the ultimate ambition of a short story writer is that one or two works can be included in the best anthologies, so that their works can last forever and have long-lasting readers from generation to generation. In each generation, if lucky, there will be five or six novels remaining. Such novels are milestone works. Every ambitious novelist is eager to write such a work and stand alone. On the literary scene.

A certain pop singer: A singer needs to have five hits to stand firm. I only have three now, which is not enough.

It is not practical to use five poems. An extraordinary piece, one song is enough. For Mimi Ripton, who died young, as long as there is that song Loving You, she will always be mentioned, listened to, and remembered by generations of people who listen to the song.

This is "immortality".

In this movie, the "God of Singer" Kus, the Jiade, realized the artist's ultimate dream remembered by thousands of fans with his most famous work "Remember Me". For the first time, the live version of the song is fully displayed. He appeared on the top of the multi-level stage like a cherry on a cake, and opened with a shrill laughter, with a charming voice among the stars of the dancer girl. The line sings "Remember Me", the whole song is skillful and the atmosphere is grand and generous. It was not a confession to a loved one, but a celebrity's chant to the fans. He was so confident that the "remember me" he sang had only a kind of sincere performance. He is like a handsome prodigal who is extremely confident of his charm, triumphant, waving to the girl who is obsessed with him, knowing that they will remember everything about him stupidly. He is already celebrating his success and victory in advance. Those cheerful and frivolous emotions shine like oil flowers floating on the water.

When I saw this scene in the theater, I felt disappointed and surprised. This is the main song of the film? It's not touching at all! Think of the Zootopia theme song Try Everything first appeared when Judy was on the train. What a breathtaking surprise...

Later I realized that that kind of immovability was deliberate. Until the memory of the undead Hector, stripped off the pretense and hypocrisy, washed away the grease, this song showed its amazing beauty.

When the father plucked the strings in the small room and sang a bedtime song written for his daughter, what he was thinking of was not the whole world, but his cocoa. He didn't want to use this song to win the world's memory. He only looked at those round and big eyes, just wanting to carve an eternal mark in the little mind behind those eyes.

The lonely and miserable singing voice flowing in his heart, endless tenderness, infinite nostalgia, like a stream of feathers and gems, gleaming like the Milky Way, flowing in the universe created by staring at each other. There is no collective harmony of female singers, only the childlike voice of the daughter's bud is added in the last two sentences, and the whole song is completed by singing with the father.

But this song, which was not written for fame and fortune, achieved the greatest success and was widely sung, becoming a masterpiece of Dracuse’s career.

Sometimes in art, the most personal has the most universal value.

Suddenly think of Phoebe in "Friends". She also had a father who had abandoned her since childhood. Later this father appeared, and he was ashamed and coyly begged for her acceptance. The two met at the Central Park cafe. The father and daughter sat at both ends of the couch, Phoebe. He refused to speak with a cold face. In order to find a topic, his father Ai Ai talked about his past with the baby Phoebe: When you cry hard, I will sing to you. Phoebe asked, what kind of song? The father hummed in a low voice: Sleepy girl, sleepy girl (Sleepy girl, sleepy girl)...that's the tune of Phoebe's famous song "smelly cat, smelly cat" (stinky cat) when he grew up.

Phoebe lowered his head and smiled secretly.

They never forgot their father's song in their hearts.
