Netflix’s homemade drama “Sin Dreamer” in Taiwan was launched. Because of the appearance of Jia Jingwen and Zhang Xiaoquan who just took the view of the Golden Bell, this drama has always been very concerned. Before the broadcast, “Sin Dreamer” sent a small egg to everyone, Netflix found the Korean indie band HYUKOH and Lin Xi, and adapted Anita Mui’s “Like the Old Man” as the theme song.
“Like the old man” is the theme song written for the Shaw Brothers movie “Bracelet”. This film is based on the novel of the same name and tells the story of the lesbian in the Hui’an area of Fujian.
This song was produced by the “Music Factory” founded by Luo Dayou. The theme song of a Shaw Brothers film, produced and composed by Luo Dayou, was arranged by the Italian musicians in Hong Kong in the 1980s, and was composed by the lyrics of Lin Yi, Lin Yi, and Amei, which is called the All-Star lineup. The song also won the best original film song at the 11th Hong Kong Academy Awards, which made it a classic.
The classic meaning is that the past 30 years, the new version of “Like the old man” MV on the line, still on the microblogging screen.
For this new edition, there is a comment on the tubing that is very interesting. “Taiwan’s album, looking for a Korean orchestra, singing the Mandarin version of Cantonese old songs, showing on the US platform, interesting.”
This is actually a very interesting topic. Thirty years ago, “It seems that the old man came” is a concentrated expression of the heyday of Hong Kong’s popular culture. For a long time, the creators of the mainland could not completely release their creativity and productivity. The creators of Hong Kong and Taiwan took on the task of showing China to the world through popular cultural works. In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong movies, pop music and their creators were highly respected in South Korea and other East Asian regions, and there is no need to repeat them.
In the past 30 years, the process of globalization has been amazing. Today, a song by Americans, Chinese creation, and Korean singing is nothing new.
Popular music, as one of the most important components of popular cultural life, is always the most sensitive to record the changes of the times. Recently, iQiyi launched a new program, “Singing Beautiful”, the program’s intention is to collect the Chinese songs from the 1930s to 2000, and let the female voices re-interpret today. One of the guests I even invited Cai Qin.
Music is the BGM of the times. To sort out the Chinese songs from the 1930s to the 2000s, it is possible to sort out the lives of the Chinese in this hundred and eighty years.

If you want to find a more author-like word than Lin Xi’s popularity, you can only be the author of our national anthem, Tian Han.
In fact, Tian Han is a very versatile creator. He writes plays, writes novels, writes articles, writes poems, and writes lyrics. In the 1930s, he wrote the lyrics of a theme song “The End of the World” for the film “The Angel of the Road” produced by the star film company, and one of the main characters of the film, Zhou Wei. With the singing in “The End of the World”, Zhou Yihong went all over the country, and later even played a movie of the same name “The End of the World”.
Zhou is one of the oldest stars in Shanghai, the earliest amphibious star in China, and later said, “the first seven songs after the beach on the Republic of China.” The history of mental illness after the age of 30 and the illness that died at the age of 37 have made her life more legendary.
In addition to playing and singing a smash hit, Zhou Wei and his husband Yan Hua discovered another famous singer Yao Li. Yao Li is also among the “seven songs”, she just passed away in July this year, so far Shanghai
