On Christmas Eve, the Mainland Film Market 2020 Christmas stall officially "started"!
Of course, the no. 1 seed is "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" starring Hua Tsai, citizen Mr. Liu and Ni Ni, and as soon as it came out, the reputation was so good that it exploded. This film is also one of the few Chinese-language films that can be released almost simultaneously on both sides of the strait this year.
The second seed is a love film, called "Tomorrow Do You Still Love Me", the big baby with two Taiwanese male actors, one is the male protagonist Li Hongqi, and the other is the male supporting Huang Baijun.
The film is also quite appropriate, full of winter and Christmas atmosphere.
Huang Baijun and Gao Yixiang have a very similar experience (the two are also buddies), both models change tracks as actors, the starting point is also very high, is one of the main actors of "Taiping Wheel", but there are not many works seen later, "Tomorrow Do You Still Love Me" is one of his rare film works in recent years.
Li Hongqi has a sense of career explosion this year, just because of the epidemic, from "I am waiting for you at the end of time" with a box office of more than half a billion yuan, to "Calm Wind and Waves" full of topics, he can't go to the mainland to promote, most of them are in Taiwan through the connection cloud greetings.
Big baby single-handedly supports publicity.
The title of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" comes from a once popular Taiwanese pop song. The theme song of this movie, please come to Wang Sutaki to cover this classic "Tomorrow Do You Still Love Me".
That classic lyric rings out again—
Melody in the middle of the night
Keep repeating that song
Will you still love me tomorrow
The post-80s may have heard this song by chance, but the new generation after the 90s may be very unfamiliar with this parent's KTV golden song.
So, let's take a look at the song "Do You Still Love Me Tomorrow" today.
In March 1985, Taiwan's UFO records, which were in the limelight at that time, attracted Wang Zhilei, a senior female singer who belonged to the more "old-school" singing style in people's minds, and published her first album on UFO, "Wang Zhilei's Sky". The packaging of the flying saucer is quite powerful, and it makes a female singer who sings classically in the era of vinyl records quickly become a mainstream pop singer.
Wang Zhilei became famous in the flying saucer war, half a year later, the flying saucer quickly released a second record for her "Flying Up", the title song of the same name was also sung for a while, the last song of this record, is "Tomorrow do you still love me", is a song written by a young creator of PolyGram Taiwan Company at that time. But Wang Zhilei's main song is too red, and this song is not red.
"Flying Up" is also a famous album, which won Wang Zhilei the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress, which was the supreme glory of a Taiwanese singer in that era when there was no Golden Melody Award.
That year, PolyGram's creative prodigious boy Ange released his first album, "Thinking of You", when he was 25 years old.
Between 1984 and 1989, Tong Ange published four albums, and although his composition and singing skills were approved, they did not become popular. During this period, his job is still a songwriter, the written songs are handed over to the company, and the company takes them to sing to other singers, as for who to sing, he himself can not decide.
In March 1989, PolyGram released the album "In Fact You Don't Understand My Heart" for Tong Ange, and Tong Ange, who had just been established, changed from a confused boy to an elegant gentleman.
The songs of the album "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart" include Tong Ange's previous creations for others, which he took back to re-sing, as well as some newly created songs.
This album was a big hit that year, and Tong Ange finally stood as a singer and stood in the position of a first-line Singer in Chinese.
This album is too classic, from the title song "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart" to "Let Life Wait" to "Tomorrow You Still Love Me" to "Can't Forget", all of which are big hits.
"Let Life Wait" let many mainland compatriots know Zhongxiao East Road for the first time.
The title of the album is "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart", which was first sung by Qiu Haizheng. In 1987, Liu Wenzheng's eldest disciple Qiu Haizheng released his first album, the first song of tape and vinyl B-side, which was "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart", but there was no red.
"In fact, you don't understand my heart" and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" sung by Tong Ange have become classics.
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is the third track on the album.
"In fact, you don't understand my heart" was already in the era of the beginning of the CD, so if there is a Taiwanese original CD trademarked by PolyGram, the second-hand price of the renminbi may be 800+, and the strange goods can be lived.
If your family has the original Taiwanese vinyl of that year, congratulations, the current transaction price may be 1500 yuan +, because it is too rare.
However, Universal Records, which now owns the copyright, has made a new replica vinyl version in Japan, and the price of less than 300 yuan is also very close to the people.
Universal's replica CD from Shanghua can be obtained for about 70 yuan.
"Actually You Don't Understand My Heart" ranked 21st in the list of Taiwan's "Top 100" albums (1975-1993) that fans regard as the Chinese pop "Bible". Its predecessor is Zhang Aijia's "Childhood", and the latter is the first million-breaking record in Taiwan's record history, Chen Shuhua's "Tell You Listen to You".
The album "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart" did not have a mainland import version at that time. Really, most of what you hear back then was either polygon imported tapes that were as expensive as polygrams, or pirated copies.
Taiwan's Poly Gold Edition tape was black and barely circulated on the mainland at the time.
At that time, the most seen in the mainland was the Polygram import version of the China Book Import and Export Corporation, which was much more expensive than ordinary tapes and was generally available in foreign bookstores in big cities.
It was not until after the new century that Guangdong Tiankai got the copyright in Universal, and produced the cd version of the global fu black king's continental version of "In fact, you don't understand my heart", and the price can even be bought for 30 yuan. It is correct to say "never released CD" on the record, as this album has not been released on a mainland CD before.
For many years, whether it is PolyGram or Universal's Tong Ange selection, it will definitely receive this song "Tomorrow Will You Still Love Me".
In 1995, Tong Ange left Baolijin, who had been working for more than ten years, and Bao Ji produced a two-disc selection for him, and the first song of the second album was "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow".
In 1997, the mainland's China Singing Corporation released a set of records called "20th Century Chinese Singers 100 Episodes Collector's Edition", and Tong Ange's album of course included "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", which was placed in the tenth song of the CD.
This record is quite elaborately produced, the selection of music is also very good, and it is not surprising that the second-hand price is so expensive now.
In 1998, Poly Gold used the best recording technology at that time, reprocessed Tong Ange's songs, and made a selection of sound quality that was excellent at that time, that series was called Poly Gold 88 Premium Timbre Series, collectors are generally both enthusiasts and Tong Ange fans, and now there is very little circulation on the market. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is placed in the second track of this disc.
In 2005, Universal Records, which had acquired PolyGram, produced a "True Classic" selection series, and Tong Ange's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" was the fifth.
In 2011, Universal released a set of three-sheet "Children's Music Club", which is the most complete selection of Tong Ange so far, and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" was used as the finale track of the third album. The brand new price of this set of records is only more than 100 yuan, which is the first choice for collecting Tong Ange physical records.
The filler of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is Mr. Yang Lide, who has written too many famous works, including "Dedication", "Dear Child", "Whose Tears Are Flying", "You See You See the Face of the Moon", "Silent Rain", "He Doesn't Love Me" and so on. However, writing lyrics is only a process in his life, his achievements in the advertising and marketing industry are even greater than in popular music, and he has participated in the advertising creativity of many high-end real estate in the mainland.
There are also many cover versions of "Do You Still Love Me Tomorrow", and the earliest Cantonese version is sung by the super-name Principal Tan and Guan Shuyi.
In February 1991, when President Tan first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he released his 20th Cantonese album "Myth 1991", which contained works by Taiwanese creators such as Wu Sikai, of which the Cantonese version of "Tomorrow Do You Still Love Me", was made into a male-female duet, and the female singer was Guan Shuyi, who debuted for two years at that time and was praised by Baoli Jinli.
The Cantonese version of "Tomorrow You Still Love Me" was filled in by the TV personality and lyricist Lu Yongqiang at the time, and he turned the mood of Cantonese words into a snowy exotic style. Lu Yongqiang later turned to the mainland, and the "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf" produced by him was so famous that there was no need to introduce it.
A generation of diva Mui Yanfang also loves this song, she and the principal have sung together, and it is Mei Gu singing Mandarin, the principal singing Cantonese, and finally Will you still love me tomorrow the two sing together.
Mei Gu and musician Lun Yongliang also have a Mandarin version of the concert chorus.
This song also allowed Tong Ange to successfully break into the Hong Kong market, and he and Cantonese debut singer Kwan ShuYi have collaborated on this song.
Tong Ange and Tianhou Mei Yanfang have collaborated on this song more than once.
Mei Yanfang also recorded a short video with Tong Ange in the studio. It turned out that Aunt Mei really loved this song and even cried. Listen carefully to the lyrics of this song, perhaps only Mei Gu, who has a bumpy love road, can deeply understand the artistic conception in the song.
In a few days, December 30th is the 17th anniversary of Meigu, and I miss her!
It is said that Tong Ange has also disappeared for a long time, and "Singer" please do not move (to) him.
The melody of midnight, repeating that song all the time, Will you still love me tomorrow...
