Chapter 569: 《To Be Ordinary》

At this moment, inside the Cinema, even though the lights had already come on, a large portion of the audience had not yet left.

Some people were wondering if this movie would have a post-credits scene.

These days, some cinemas and ticketing apps are quite thoughtful; if there is a post-credits scene, they will inform the audience that there is one being broadcast at the end of the film.

But this was still in the 【Advanced Screening】 stage, after all.

When Luo Mo's singing voice rang out, some of the audience members who had already stood up couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

This batch of viewers was effectively the first in the country to watch "Dying to Survive," and among them, the proportion of 【Mo Sheng Ren】 was quite large.

It was impossible for them not to recognize Luo Mo's voice; these unfamiliar lyrics and melody were undoubtedly a new song.

Xiao Cai had sharp ears and felt the accompaniment was quite familiar; it was likely used as background music in certain segments of the movie!

This song was the theme song for "Dying to Survive" sung by Luo Mo and Xu Chujing — "To Be Ordinary."

A song that, when "consumed" alongside the movie, has an excellent effect.

These days, many songs in movies have little to do with the film's content; they just hire a famous Singer to sing something casually as a form of promotion and publicity.

But "To Be Ordinary" is different; one can see this point just from the song title.

"Dying to Survive" and "To Be Ordinary" — there is quite a bit of unique meaning revealed within these.

By the time everyone noticed it was a new song, it had already been playing for several lines.

Xiao Cai and Xiao Fang began to listen carefully while watching the lyrics in the subtitles.

"【Only after making mistakes and being right do we know the answer, the courage of To Live.】"

"【Without the halo of a god, you and I are born ordinary.】"

This subsequent line of lyrics completely struck the two young girls, and suddenly they felt like crying again.

Yes, Cheng Yong and the others in the movie all had obvious shortcomings and clear character flaws.

They were also just ordinary people, plain people.

Yet what they were doing were extraordinary things.

"Luo Mo is still trying to stab us in the heart with this song!" Xiao Fang felt this person was truly too annoying.

Soon, the female vocal part began to ring out.

This made Xiao Fang and Xiao Cai look at each other abruptly.

"Ah! This is a duet with Xu Chujing!" They realized it instantly.

At the same time, they also felt that Luo Mo was truly formidable; he had hidden it too well!

If it were anyone else, singing a duet with their top-tier diva girlfriend, they would definitely have released the song during the promotional period.

These two both have extraordinary status in the music industry; a song they sing together could dominate the charts for a month straight.

Yet he just wouldn't release the song!

He only released "Life Like Summer Flowers," sung by Li Junyi, as a promotional track.

"Good grief, was he afraid we'd hear that this movie isn't a Comedy through this song?" the two girls thought.

As soon as they thought about how they had been deceived by him when watching the trailer, they felt even angrier!

But in reality, the team for "Dying to Survive" had never stated to the public that this was a movie with a Comedy theme.

It was all the netizens who spontaneously thought so.

On one hand, it was because Wang Rong became famous for filming Comedies, and his comedic image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

On the other hand, the smoke bombs like the trailer had a very good effect, and the name of this movie also looked a bit unconventional, quite like a web novel style, giving people the feeling of the 【Anti-trope】 genre.

Xiao Fang and Xiao Cai both unanimously agreed that, indeed, after finishing the movie and then listening to the song "To Be Ordinary," the lethality is the greatest!

Xu Chujing's singing voice spread melodiously through the Cinema; the early pitch of this song is very low:

"【Recognizing regrets amidst heartbreak,"

"Life is long yet short,"

"The beating heart grows vines,"

"Willing to fight for the dangerous.】"

These lyrics perfectly fit the content of the movie.

Listening to it at this moment, the scenes from the movie couldn't help but flash through their minds.

They thought of the characters portrayed so well, and the lines that one could not forget.

Xiao Cai paid extra attention to another line of lyrics.

"【Without the halo of a god, hold tight to the ordinariness in your hands."

"With this heart and this life, there are no regrets; the fire of life has been ignited.】"

She still had to write a film review when she went back, so she couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

"Does this refer to self-salvation between people?"

"God is an illusory existence."

"We are all mortal bodies."

"Without divinity sprinkled upon the world, the radiance of human nature is just as brilliant."

In an instant, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Her perspective had suddenly opened up!

This song actually sings about the main character group, but it is not limited to just them; it can also praise a vast number of people!

Once this thought occurred, a flash of light crossed Xiao Cai's mind.

She suddenly understood, understood a scene in the movie she hadn't been able to grasp before.

That was when Cheng Yong went to India to buy Medicine again; the street was filled with thick fog, statues of gods could be seen in the fog, and people were standing all along the side of the road.

Xiao Cai did not know much about religion, so she didn't know what gods the statues in the smoke were, nor did she know what they symbolized.

But it stands to reason that it should be linked to 【Life】.

At first, she thought this imagery was meant to make the entire film atmosphere appear more solemn.

But now, combined with the lyrics of this song, she had a new understanding of her own.

"This is using divinity to highlight humanity!"

"In India, the gaze of people looking at the statues of gods, and the gaze of the patients filling the streets as they watched Cheng Yong leave..."

"—are exactly the same!!!"

In an instant, fine goosebumps rose on Xiao Cai's skin.

The song ended, and the cleaning lady had already entered the Cinema, beginning to tidy up.

Xiao Cai and Xiao Fang stood up at this moment, preparing to leave.

Inside the Cinema, apart from them, there were still a small number of people who hadn't left; they all stood up only after listening to the song.

Xiao Cai took this opportunity to take out her phone and record another line of lyrics.

"【I don't want the halo of a god, I only want your ordinariness】."

Regarding the film review for her first live-action movie, she already had a rough train of thought and had decided how to write it.

On the way out of the cinema, Xiao Fang said, "After this movie finishes its run in theaters, it will probably be bought by Penguin Video."

"I can already roughly guess what the netizens will spam in the bullet comments by then."

"When Cheng Yong says he's selling it for 500, there will definitely be a group of people saying: The birth of the Medicine God."

Xiao Cai nodded and said, "But this film is called 'I Am Not the Medicine God'."

In the hallway of Xindi Cinema, she glanced sideways and saw the Poster for 'I Am Not the Medicine God'.

It was Luo Mo's personal Poster, featuring him as the character Lv Shouyi, holding an Orange in his hand.

She immediately took out her phone to take a picture as a memento.

Xiao Fang had driven there; after sitting in the car, she connected the Bluetooth and started searching for the songs from 'Medicine God'.

But so far, there was only 'Life as Summer Flowers' on Penguin Music, and not 'Only Want Ordinariness'.

"I guess it will only be uploaded after the official premiere," Xiao Cai guessed.

"Alright then, let's listen to 'Life as Summer Flowers'!" Xiao Fang said.

The Singing of Li Junyi soon began to echo in the car.

This song was so beautiful, possessing infinite vitality, lavishly praising the preciousness and brilliance of life.

It was as if it were saying: Life should be like this.

This formed a sharp contrast with the movie 'Medicine God' and the song 'Only Want Ordinariness'.

'Medicine God' was too oppressive.

Yes, life should be like this, but, it is 【should be】.

A passionate song also inexplicably began to become tear-jerking.

On the contrary, the song 'Only Want Ordinariness', although entirely in low notes and making one want to cry while listening, does not make one overly depressed; instead, one even feels a bit of Gentle, a bit of warmth.

This type of low-murmur style of Singing can achieve a different effect.

Xiao Cai sat in the passenger seat, looking at the heavy traffic outside the car window, looking at the night view of the city, looking at the Ten Thousand Lights.

She just listened to the song like this, her mind constantly pondering the content of her film review.

And some things do not bear thinking about.

Once you seriously think about them, many scenes and contents come rolling in, and in an instant, you feel like crying again.

Xiao Cai couldn't help but sniff her slightly sore nose, saying in her heart:

"Tsk, the aftertaste of this movie is really strong!"
