In 1991, Huang Luyi changed her name to Huang Yingying and signed to Rolling Stone Records, when Rolling Stone produced four major record producers, Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, Chen Sheng and Xiao Worm, and took turns to help her produce an album.
Yellow warbler
The first three producers are almost unknown in the mainland, but Xiao Worm is also a producer that should not be underestimated.
Looking back at The creation of Xiao Bug, no matter which singer he writes a song for, that song will become the singer's representative works: Zhong Zhentao's "As Long as You Live Better Than Me", Pan Yueyun's "Am I the One You Love The Most", Mei Yanfang's "Intimate Lover", Ren Xianqi's "Heart Is Too Soft", Chen Shuhua's "Love Guan", Li Lifen's "Love Jiangshan More Love Beauty", Zhang Huimei's "Can I Hold You"...
Worms
Of course, there is also Huang Yingying's "Burial of the Heart", which has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Movie Theme Song, Taiwan Pop Music Golden Melody Award, and The 12th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Film Song.

"Burial of the Heart" is the theme song of the 1991 film "Ruan Lingyu" directed by Guan Jinpeng, when Guan Jinpeng invited Xiao Worm to compose the theme song for the film, and designated the yellow warbler who had just joined the Rolling Stones to sing.
In fact, as early as when the yellow warbler was still on the UFO record, the little worm had cooperated with her, and the yellow warbler was no stranger, and the cooperation between the two was full of expectations.
Ruan Lingyu
However, before this, Xiao Worm had never participated in the production of the film soundtrack, so the creation process of this song was not smooth, and Xiao Worm was repeatedly rejected by Guan Jinpeng at the beginning of creation, coupled with his emphasis on this attempt, which led to great pressure.
One day in the middle of the night, the little worm did not turn on the light, sat down at the piano and began to write, "Every time I play a note, I feel a voice floating in my ear and saying to me, 'Yes!'" He kept playing and tears flowing like that, and it didn't take long to complete the song "Buried Heart".
The little worm's later review made this song have a kind of "chatting" atmosphere that no one was crying in the middle of the night.
What's even more mysterious is that after the worm finished the demo at three o'clock in the middle of the night, he excitedly called the yellow warbler in Singapore and let the demo be heard to her, and when the worm asked the yellow warbler how he felt, he only heard the continuous sobbing on the other end of the phone, and he didn't want to disturb the other party and hung up the phone.
Unexpectedly, the next day, I received a phone call from Huang Yingying and asked: "You called yesterday and said that you wanted to play a song for me, but the phone hung up?" ”
This overlap adds a bit of mystery to the song "Buried Heart".
No wonder everyone says that "Buried Heart" will have the feeling of a soul out of its shell when you first listen to it. Jiang Wen once said such a sentence: "When I heard this song (buried my heart), even the hormones were adjusted, and there were some changes in secretion."

Later, the worm Demo was handed over to Yao Ruolong as a lyricist. The little worm only said that this was a movie about Ruan Lingyu, and at the end of the movie, Ruan Lingyu left a note that read "People are fearful", and then took medicine to commit suicide.
Yao Ruolong said that when writing the lyrics, his mind was full of Ruan Lingyu's entanglement before committing suicide, recalling several periods of feelings that were fully committed, but regretting the entanglement; and the helplessness of the world who did not understand the reason, but hurt people with gossip.
Perhaps for Ruan Lingyu, choosing the end of her life by committing suicide is a kind of mourning that is greater than the tip of death.
But Yao Ruolong hopes to interpret it in another way, writing Ruan Lingyu's despair of life and the loneliness of Xiang Yuyu's death in the title of the song "Burial of Heart".
"Buried Heart" Ruan Lingyu classic film interspersed version
The old fate should be difficult, and the heart is full of sorrow
How to live, this head guess that side of the strange
People's words converge into a sea of sorrows, and it is difficult to endure bitterness
The sufferings given by Heaven are not to blame
Never, Fanghua is afraid of being alone
Lin Hua'er thanked her, and even buried her heart
He returned in the spring of the day, where he was
At that time, the little worm had not yet come to the mainland, so he asked a friend to search for 30s music in Shanghai, hoping to make a phonograph full of nostalgic effects.
The little worm put the vinyl record on the ground and stepped on it, grinded it, and then recorded the rustle of the record when it was played, and collaged the "noise" like fried beans in the song. In order to make the instruments re-exist in the past, even a quilt was stuffed in the drum so that the rhythm played by the drummers was in line with the atmosphere of old Shanghai in the 30s.
He also turned out a lot of songs with a very old Shanghai flavor, such as "Return love", "Trance like a world away", "No Chance", "Love and Hate Ups and Downs", "Old Dreams Without Traces" and so on. Just listening to these songs is enough to make up for a time that has not been witnessed, so it seems that the worm saw Ruan Lingyu and could even smell her smell.
When the song was recorded, the little worm even clamped the nose of the yellow warbler with a clip, hoping that she could sing the nasal sound of the 30s, and then grind the record on the ground to make a rustling sound, and then record it back, creating a rustling retro feeling.
In the 1930s, a generation of Shanghai actresses sounded in their ears through the voice of "greed for a little dependence, greed for a little love"- "never, never, Fanghua is afraid of loneliness".
Small struggles, big give-ups, and make resolute decisions in the most vulnerable way.

In the soundtrack of the "Ruan Lingyu" movie, a song and a story have three different versions, one is the modern version we often hear, and two are made into the style of the Great Shanghai period, the lyrics are the same, and the names are changed to "Wild Grass Idle Flowers in Spring" and "Long Sigh".
"Wild Grass Idle Flowers in Spring"
Later, the TV series "Butterfly", which was released in 2004, and the TV series "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" broadcast in 2009 also included "Buried Heart" as an interlude, and the first prize work of the international standard dance "Don't" in the third CCTV TV Dance Competition also used it as background music.
For the yellow warbler, after "Burial of the Heart", there is no yellow dew in the world, only the yellow warbler.
With the weeping voice of the yellow warbler and the almost soul-destroying sadness in the lyrics, the song has become a classic work representing the voice of a woman.
It has gained the complete resonance and lamentation of women, and also aroused the pity and love of men.
