the theme song Wu explains the theme of the film
Shaolin Shaolin, the theme song of the film Shaolin Temple, has been regarded as a classic film and television song. Therefore, how the theme song of the film New Shaolin Temple will be interpreted and who will sing it has attracted much attention. Yesterday, the theme song of the film was finally unveiled and appeared on major radio stations across the country.
"Infinite mind/good fortune/unlimited/unlimited/interest-bearing/love-connecting/... savvy/enlightened/Wukong/willing/simply accompany you every day." Compared with the old version of Shaolin Temple, the lyrics of the theme song of New Shaolin Temple are more Zen-like, which is consistent with the theme of "practicing Zen with martial arts" which has been repeatedly emphasized in the film's propaganda. The style of the song is the perfect combination of Buddhist music and pop music, which can not only make the audience experience the artistic conception of "Zen" personally, but also awaken the pure heart and compassion. At the same time, the melody is catchy and easy to sing.
Andy Lau closed its doors for three days.
According to director Chen Musheng, the lyrics of the theme song Wu is Andy Lau's masterpiece. "At first, we didn't use the theme song when filming, but after cutting the film, I felt that we still needed a song that could express the theme of our film, so I called him (Andy Lau) and told him what kind of song I wanted, and he readily agreed." What director Chen Musheng didn't expect was that in just three days, Andy Lau delivered the demo of Wu to him.
"I haven't listened to music much for several years. I think the better movie theme songs are Painting Heart and Chrysanthemum Terrace, so I was particularly surprised when I got the demo of Wu, and I especially liked it. The lyrics and genre are in line with the style of our film, so I listened to it repeatedly all night that night." Director Chen Musheng introduced that after listening to the demo, he called Andy Lau and asked Andy Lau to sing this song in person. "I think he is the only one who is most suitable for singing this song, and I dare say that this song will definitely become another classic of his."
Andy Lau will sing Wu for the first time today.
It is understood that when Andy Lau, who is dedicated to Buddhism, personally wrote this theme song Wu, he incorporated his own experience of participating in Buddhism and realizing Zen. As an evergreen tree in the film and music circles, this song is also a summary and feeling of his acting career in the past 3 years. Andy Lau said that he has now looked down on fame and fortune. "As the lyrics say: be less greedy, let go of your desires and be simple."
In addition, the 3th anniversary of Andy Lau's debut, "Unforgettable Concert in Andy Lau 21", kicked off at the Hong Kong Gymnasium in Hung Hom today (2th). The theme song "Wu" of this film "New Shaolin Temple" has also been included in Hua Zai's concert repertoire, and will be sung as the finale in the next ten solo concerts. Therefore, today is also the first time that the theme song of this film has been publicly sung live, and fans will have the opportunity to enjoy it first before the film is released.
