Follow The Notes Upon The Journey
At first sight marks one's destiny
Once the voyage comes to an end Return lies within hasty
keys

Curled up in a chair, I read it a second time with a cold nose, so I decided to write something down.
At first I heard that the picture is beautiful and worth watching, so my expectations for it are only defined in beautiful love films. Maybe it was because the expectations were not high in the early stage, but there were many unexpected surprises in the later stage. It is also possible that my vision is subjective and one-sided, just because I like the piano so much, and I also like the surroundings related to it.

Pages of yellowed kraft sheet music were turned over, and rows of flowing notes passed before me, and the charcoal blue ink dipped in the mottled texture, slowly and meaningfully. Secret, what is the secret?
The beautiful British-style campus, lovely girls in school uniforms, mixed with Taiwanese Mandarin, I laughed, is it true that Jay Chou's works are just like the flood of Taiwanese idol dramas?
All changes start from Douqin. Although I knew that this plot was the same as the sparring in an action movie, I was still willing to indulge in the designed routine, secretly sweating and shouting wonderfully. I laughed knowingly. Jay Chou is smart. He knows that he is not born to talk and talk, and his acting skills are not so reliable. But he also knows that he is talented and talented in music. The tacit understanding between him and these eighty-eight black and white pairs is the key that makes him stand out; the black keys are like his frown, the white keys are like his smile, and the ending of the song is not only his music. , and his joys and sorrows, his love.
A movie produced 25 original soundtracks, and he arranged 17 of them, and he also adapted the other 2. Although most of them were sketches of just one or two minutes, the style was similar to his earliest albums. Back then, he always used wind bells, bells... all the sounds that can no longer be seen in life, or in such simple dialogues, to create scene after scene for us. Today, he uses a clear piano to express pure and youthful feelings, no complicated chords, no fancy variations, only single-tone melody, expressive and beautiful; with deep affection, he plays Xiaoyu's sad and desperate heart song, Heart- wrenching and painful...
These brilliant sketches have never been overwhelming. When I turn back and listen to the original sound, what emerges in front of my eyes are two people's bicycles, two pairs of hands that are crossed in tacit cooperation, and the quiet and affectionate man by the Danshui River. The kiss is Xiaoyu's pear blossoms and rains because of misunderstandings again and again, Xiaolun's playing despite the danger of his life in the roar of the machine, and Lu Xiaoyu's shy look back at the end.

Jay Chou doesn't pay much attention to himself in his films. In addition to music, he also leaves time to the very pitiful heroine Gui Lunmei. This heroine that has to be mentioned, her role as Lu Xiaoyu made me fall in love at a glance. Looking at her, I thought of "Winter Sonata", and Weizhen, who was also wearing a school uniform, long skirt and black wool socks, sitting on the back of the bicycle, the same clean smile, and the same deep affection for her lover with her fingertips on the piano keys. . When she looked at her with eyes that were so bright that they were almost overflowing with tears, I couldn't help but fall in love with her, and I couldn't help but feel pity for her, even though I was also a girl.

For me, watching a movie is to listen to a person telling a story of the past, whether sad or happy, vigorous or plain, it may have nothing to do with whether the director's technique is pioneering or not, or whether the storyline is old-fashioned, as long as I accept the story at the end. In this story, everything becomes less important: the acting skills that are not so good can be diluted, and I can listen to the Taiwanese Mandarin even more. The so-called love house and Wu may be nothing more than this.
Please don't take out the parts of Jay Clen playing the piano and compare it to Lang Lang, and please don't escalate the technical problem of Xianglun Xiaoyu's passage of time and space to the Einstein level to demonstrate, we are just listening to someone who knows how to express emotions with music. , trying to tell a beautiful love story in a way that is more acceptable to both parties.

In all fairness, I would rather stop at the end of Xiao Lun playing the last note of "Secret", leaving us with infinite speculation and debate. But after thinking about it carefully, the ending in the original work is still very wonderful. When Ye Xianglun played "Secret" so fast, even back when Lu Xiaoyu hadn't found the sheet music, he pushed open the door and everything in 1979 It's just the beginning, only Ye Xianglun knows...

a secret that can't be told.
