This song is quite classic; it first appeared in the 1978 TV series “little li flying dagger,” then was used in the 1979 film of the same name, and finally in the 1999 version starring Jiao Laoda.
However, in this Blue Star version, Su Yu made some fine-tuning and adjustments to the arrangement.
This made it sound less overly ancient to countless viewers and netizens.
“【The ruthless Dao Ke, eternally ignorant of fault…】”
The opening theme song was still playing, and exciting scenes from the drama appeared one after another.
Many netizens felt that the costume, makeup, props, and martial arts design in this drama were genuinely new.
At least it wouldn't make them turn away after only watching the opening credits.
“Oh my, I almost forgot to listen to the opening song! What a sin, what a sin!”
“Yeah, I’m used to skipping opening songs, then I remembered that the theme songs were all written by Su Shen!”
“Good thing I came back! Otherwise, I would have missed Chen Tianwang’s new song!”
“Although I don’t quite understand cantonese, the lyrics are really well written! Could the author have participated in writing the lyrics?”
At this moment, many netizens who were watching on Tengfei Video also rushed back.
Because at first, there was a setting to skip the opening and ending songs, and they only realized what was happening when they noticed the bullet comments suddenly becoming fewer.
The TV series was produced by Tianxing Entertainment, and it had been announced during promotion that all theme songs were from Su Yu’s hand.
So, they couldn't miss it no matter what.
Su Yu was a bit speechless when he saw the bullet comments from these netizens who were “enlightened” by the “truth.”
However, he did forget to promote the theme song when he was promoting it at noon.
A mistake, a mistake indeed.
The opening theme song froze on a super handsome dagger-wielding pose by Li Enjun.
Just this one explosively handsome shot was enough to make some viewers continue watching with full confidence and anticipation.
The pace of the first episode was very fast, and because it was based on the original work, many viewers found it not very difficult to watch.
The original work began with Li Xunhuan’s return to the Central Plains, but the TV series started with the plot segment that countless Dao Ke disliked seeing the most.
Liu Xialai was also a fan of the original work, and he incorporated some of his own understanding into the script Su Yu gave him.
Plus, Li Xunhuan was truly handsome, and Lin Shiyin was truly beautiful, which made the Dao Ke feel even more regretful!
Li Xunhuan’s handling of relationships was criticized, but no one would reject such a brother and friend, right?
After watching one episode, Su Yu felt that this was better than the 1999 version.
Of course, this might also be due to advancements in filming technology.
However, Liu Xialai, this General Director’s ability, was very competent in Su Yu’s eyes.
This time, netizens were experienced and did not skip the ending theme song; instead, they listened very seriously and expectantly.
“【Until only I and the street lamp are left on the entire street,
The tear stains on your shirt have turned cold.
I don’t understand, I can’t believe love has ended.】”
However, the moment Luren Jia’s unforgettable singing came out, they really had the urge to turn around and run!
They were careless, they didn’t dodge!
They really forgot that Luren Jia was Bi Huo, a new artist under Tianxing.
Even though in variety shows, many bullet comments had already guessed his identity early on.
But netizens were still used to seeing Luren Jia wearing a mask, singing heartbreaking tragic songs on stage again and again.
This was very strange.
And since the ending theme song of “little li flying dagger” was sung by this guy, there was no need to guess the tone and nature of this song at all.
Get your tissues ready; many people are probably going to break down again.
Meanwhile, in the video, the ending theme song continued.
“【Sitting in a daze, remembering those happy moments,
The recent breakup doesn’t seem real.
I don’t understand, can you prove that you loved me?】”
Not to mention, once such a song reached Luren Jia’s hands, that feeling of tragic humility just washed over you.
And even though they were clearly afraid of being hurt by Luren Jia again, they somehow couldn’t bear to skip the song; this feeling was truly awful.
However, it must be said that Su Yu’s songwriting skills were still very much on point.
He had already written two songs of this type for Luren Jia, and now he could even bring out a third one!
It seems Luren Jia is Su Yu’s true love.
“【Passerby, don’t look at me, I’m not crazy, my heart just hurts so much.
I think I still can’t leave, maybe you’ll come back if I wait.】”
Familiar recipe, original flavor!
This connecting part once again made netizens feel what a humble person in love looks like!
Especially the lyric “maybe you’ll come back if I wait” is not only heartbreaking but also very much like a “dog licker.”
Connecting the lyrics to Li Xunhuan, that inexplicably bittersweet feeling became even more intense.
“【What will you do without me?
Who will wipe away your tears for you?
Who will hold an umbrella for you, comfort your worries?
You fear loneliness the most on sleepless nights.
What will you do without me? Who else understands your worries?
Why let go, why leave?
Didn’t we say we’d love each other for a lifetime?】”
And at this moment, the chorus of the song also arrived, and many people at this moment felt like spitting blood.
Who the hell can’t live without whom?
After breaking up with you, they are doing just fine!
Only you, this “little fool,” are still stuck in the past, unable to extricate yourself!
And what was most crushing was that the clips during the ending theme song were all scenes of Li Xunhuan being heartbroken, spitting blood, and dejected, showing his helplessness.
Countless old brothers, at this moment, spat out a mouthful of old blood, otherwise, they would really have suffered internal injuries.
Fortunately, the ending theme song was still very short, otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to hold on.
And at the end of the credits, many people finally saw the song information for the opening and ending themes.
Opening theme song “little li flying dagger”
Composer, Arranger: Su Yu
Lyricists: Su Yu, Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng
Vocals: Chen Yixun
......
Ending theme song “What Will You Do Without Me”
Lyrics, Music, Arranger: Su Yu
Vocals: Bi Huo
......
The lyrics of the opening theme song were co-written by Su Yu and Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, which netizens and Dao Ke had obviously guessed correctly.
And the lyrics and music for the ending theme song were all handled by Su Yu, which also did not come as a surprise to everyone!
Because they had already figured it out: Luren Jia is good at singing this type of song, and Su Yu is good at writing them!
Moreover, the “knives” were being thrown more fiercely each time, catching them a bit off guard.
But jokes aside, countless netizens instinctively started watching the second episode of “little li flying dagger.”
After all, no one can escape the “true fragrance” law.
Such a high-level, high-quality ancient martial arts TV series has truly not been seen in Blue Star’s domestic market for a long time.
So how could they resist not watching it?
Even though they knew that the plot development in the next episode would definitely be even more suffocating!
And at this moment, what everyone didn’t know was that the staff of the four satellite TV stations, including Yanjing, who had purchased the first broadcast rights, were already bewildered by the viewership data of the first episode...
