Song: 《演员》
This Song means Actor in english and not actress because in Chinese we have a definition which is unisex so I’m Chinese it doesn’t matter of their gender.
I have chosen this song because it has a male low to medium voice line and it has a slow tone to it which can vibrate with the audience’s feeling as it can get them to slowly understand the music, since it is in Chinese some audience won’t be able to understand it and so the slow start also helps them get into it.
This song is in perspective of a man who confide to a women: “if you don’t love anymore , Just speak the truth so it will be better for the both of us”
And it talks about the women should not forget their morals and have such bad acting skills which even he knows that she doesn’t have feelings for and the man still loves the women so he is willing to go along with her acting and lie to himself if he can live in his fantasised world.
This song was created by Joker Xu which wrote and composed the song and first released in the 20th of may 2015.
I want to use this song because I want to show loneliness and emptiness in my story about a man who just lost his loved one and the change in his mind and heart after he has learnt that death isn’t the end, It is a new beginning for everyone to move on to the next stage of their life while cherishing their memories and happiness with what has happened.
Even though this is a sad song, I want the audience to let go of the past and look more into the future where they will find something that they will smile for, like the gold at the end of the rainbow.
Here is a little story board I drew on procreate to show my ideas for my song
I have used full body shots, half shots, over the shoulder shots, wide shots ,close up and extreme close up shot.
Lyrics:
Simply, talk simply
Leave out the unnecessary emotions
You are not an actress
Don't design those plots
I don't mind,I just want to watch how you complete your lies
Your show of grief is too shallow,like a talentless actress
The audience can perceive with one glance
I'm supposed to complement your acting but I ignored it
You're demanding the person who loves you the most to improvise
When did we forget our bottom lines
Watching those poor performances with the change of times
You used to love me;why are you acting out the details?
How should I change so I can delay weariness
The real test in love
Comes after we put down our guard
I don't care,Do whatever you want?
Your acting is limited,
And you don't have to give a speech,
Let's separate peacefully.
I'm supposed to complement your acting but I ignored it
You're demanding the person who loves you the most to improvise
When did we forget our bottom lines?
If we passively follow other's lies,we won't look as pitiful
You used to love me; why are you acting out the details?
How should I change so I can complement your act?
The real test in love.
Always has a deadline.
The truth is, I was your only audience
I saw your reluctance when separating
We're used to going back-and-forth endlessly
What else do you care about?
Those that are said to be inseparable are hard to come by
Indeed what we fear most is to be burdened
As we approach the climax, it becomes harder to cry
Is it worth it?
When I'm meant to complement your act,I’m striving to do so now.
Choose any of the actors of those romantic dramas
If I can see the side of me that loves you
Please cut out the scenes to make me feel more presentable.
You used to love me;why are you acting out the details?
My carelessness is my last act
It’s because I loved you,I chose to act with this purpose.
