Sir was swept away by a song these two days.
Adele's Hello.
This is her first new song released after singing the 007 theme song "Skyfall" in 2012.
The new song MV reached 23.2 million hits on Youtube in 24 hours, breaking the record of 20.1 million times for Bad Blood.
Not only netizens responded warmly, but also peers praised it.
Sam Smith, the new singer of the 007 theme song, said Adele made him "scream like a little girl".
Katy Perry: After listening to "Hello", my expression is pictured.
Is it really so touching, first send the MV, you come to identify.

How, have you ever cried into a dog.
Sir wants to talk about this MV because of its director.
At the age of 20, he wrote and directed his debut film, which was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Biweekly Section and won three awards.
Last year's self-written and self-directed "Mommy" was not only shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, but also won the Jury Prize alongside Jean-Luc Godard," the founder of the French New Wave.
He is also the youngest director of competition films in the history of Cannes cinema and the youngest judge.
On top of that, he was born in 1989 and is only 26 years old this year.
Moreover, it is not, often, handsome.
He is a Canadian director/writer/actor, Xavier Dolan.
Dolan's work, like his appearance, is full of "riotous".
He excels at using slow motion, vivid psychedelic colors, and lots of soundtracks.

There is also the "avant-garde" way of shooting.
The scene in "Mommy" where the boy pulls the screen open with his hands has stunned the whole of Cannes.
These make his film: "Sexy and Beautiful".
The MV of "Hello" was taken by Adele on her own initiative to invite Dolan to shoot.
Dolan expressed flattery:
I was nervous and worried that I wouldn't be able to create a great story for this song.
But foreign media outlet Esquire believes that the two are a match made in heaven.
They are all focused on emotions, especially those who are hurt.
For example, the woman in Adele's "Someone like you" who learned about her ex-boyfriend's marriage. Or in Dolan's "Mommy", a mother and son who are interdependent and separated.
Listening to her songs, watching his movies, will want to cry.
The MV was taken in Dolan's hometown of Montreal, Canada.
In order to match the sad and nostalgic mood of the song, he used two colors.
Adele recalls her ex-boyfriend in gray tones. When expressing "now", a yellow-green hue is used.
There are also many nostalgic objects in the film.
For example, a telephone booth full of dead branches.
The phones Adele used to make phone calls were all clamshells.
Because Dolan feels that a new type of mobile phone like the iPhone will destroy the romance of the film.
In the MV, he also continued to use the "avant-garde" shooting method - using 70mm film throughout.
It was also the world's first music video shot on 70mm film (IMAX only).
The two had a great time working together, and Dolan praised Adele as a great actor:
She was so talented that I hardly had to instruct her on how to act.
Finally, an interesting thing about Dolan.
Dolan loved Titanic so much as a child that when his mother took him to the cinema to see Jack Nicholson's The Perfect Perfection, he ran to the next hall to peek at Titanic on the pretext of peeing.
The plot of the movie, the costumes... There was also the little plum, which deeply attracted the then 8-year-old Dolan Jr.
To this end, Little Dolan also wrote a letter to Xiao Li:
The gist of it is:
Little plums! I've watched Titanic five times!
You're a great actor and I admire you.
I'm also an actor, having shot several commercials and starring in 4 French-language films. Hope to act with you one day.
I know you'll come to Montreal one day to shoot a movie!
Because last year, 100 American movies were filmed in Montreal.
If you do come and happen to need an actor,
I will definitely pass the audition!
Finally, I also attached a sentence at the end of the article: I would like to receive your reply, can you send me a photo by the way?!
Across the screen, Sir could feel Dolan's love for Xiao Li.
The letter ended up—of course, sinking into the sea.
Coincidentally, just after the MV of "Hello" was announced, Xiao Lizi was inexplicably hacked.
Netizens said: This lyric is completely singing little plums and Oscars.
Xiao Lizi: Hey me, I am still hesitant to call you, after so many years, are you still willing to meet me?
Oscar:......
I don't know if Dolan will feel better if he knows about this.
Well, having said all that, I ended up with a few handsome photos of Dolan.
Sir knew someone must be good at this mouthful.
