Zhang Liangying and Wu Jingxuan
One is a power song queen, the other is a new star in the film industry, and the two are related by a movie and become warm sisters. The people I want to talk about today are the two goddesses in Jing Wujun's mind- Zhang Liangying and Wu Jingxuan.
Liang Ying and Jing Xuan met in the Sino-US co-production short film "Nursery Rhymes", Liang Ying filled in the lyrics and sang the theme song of the same name, and Wu Jingxuan was the lead actor and co-producer of the film. No coincidence is not a book, Zhang Liangying's English name jane zhang, Wu Jingxuan's English name jane wu. The two lamented the wonderful fate and immediately became friends.
Under mutual encouragement, Jing Xuan gave a lively performance to the audience on the screen, and Liang Ying added luster to the film with her natural voice behind the scenes. Even another producer of "Nursery Rhymes", Mr. Sid Gannis, former chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, known as the "invisible godfather of Hollywood", could not help but praise: Liangying's singing voice is the most perfect voice I have ever heard, and Jingxuan's performance is also very outstanding!
The song was released on Children's Day on June 1 this year, wishing children around the world a happy holiday and echoing the theme of the short film. The beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics are warmly welcomed by the audience. Songs were released as paid downloads, and even so, they received a considerable number of downloads.

When it comes to the creation of this "Nursery Rhyme", there is also quite a story. Liang Ying personally filled in the lyrics for the song, two of the lyrics have been dissatisfied, changed and changed unconsciously asleep, in the half dream and half awake suddenly appeared, she immediately got up to record the "night dew stained with twilight, the sunset stretched the shadow" This sentence is a stroke of genius. Of course, Jing Xuan also participated in the creation of the song, and the sisters both felt that since it was a "nursery rhyme", there should be some children's voices, so we heard the warm children's voice at the beginning of the song.
Liang Ying said that the film reflects that in that cold war period, the Chinese people reached out to the Jewish people in distress, which is not a fiction, but a completely true story, and is the embodiment of the rare spirit of tolerance and peace belief in Chinese culture. Therefore, in the process of recording "Nursery Rhymes", although many kinds of emotional expressions were tried, this shallow chant was finally chosen. Express the most simple emotions in the simplest way, hoping to infect the younger generation and pass on the spirit of great love of our nation.

Sure enough, the double J combined, and the aura was fully opened. The film "Nursery Rhymes" has shined since its inception and won high praise at home and abroad. The film won the Best Short Film at the California Women Artists Film Festival, was selected by the famous Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles as the 2016 Special Screening Short Film, and was collected by the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Memorial Hall. Recently, "Nursery Rhymes" has been selected for the best short film competition unit of the 2016 Miami Film Festival (film miami fest) and the best short film competition unit of the Los Angeles Cinemat Festival, and has been selected for the best short film unit of the New York United International Film (UIFF), ushering in the "big three yuan".
Liangying and Jingxuan have interacted with each other continuously since they met. As early as last year, when Liangying appeared at the world premiere of "Terminator 5" to promote the film, Jingxuan came to help and praised the theme song of the movie sung by the good sisters. When she learned that "Nursery Rhymes" won the Best Short Film Award at the California Women Artists Film Festival, Liang Ying also recorded a small video for the first time to send a congratulatory message to Jing Xuan.

Zhang Jingying and Wu Jingxuan, one in China and one in Hollywood, briefly reunited to go their separate ways; one focuses on music, the other focuses on movies, although the Tao is different, they can go hand in hand. Perhaps, the best friendship is that they are busy, they care about each other, they appreciate each other, they support each other, and there is always my shadow when you need me.
