Beyond Clouds: My Comment on XU Qianya's South of the Colorful Clouds 林四立评 徐千雅的《彩云之南》MTV

友人很欣赏徐千雅的《彩云之南》MTV。 我也在链接的网站上反复听了几遍。

此片是行销云南省呢还是徐个人?

朗昆导演,很有艺谋式的奥运或世运申办片的华丽画面,明快节奏。但是歌者如Cher的假声叫人寒毛颤抖。为什么不显示云南的二三十个少数民族的多彩缤纷的文化习俗,让我们看到超出这个搭台的湖泊,有如《无敌》的做作? 还有越过徐的这张脸的自然风光?。。。

难道这张脸要象海伦那样引得千帆竞渡吗?

玉龙雪山正好反衬人们对四季如春的云南的印象和“成见”, 观众会祈求一睹峥嵘。可惜被忽略了。

孔雀之乡,怎么没有了孔雀?

徐的脸上的粉脂松弛,夸张掩饰不住的倦怠,背离了人们的美好印象:云南的自然,朴实。

那匹道具白马,但愿没有被注射镇定剂,我担保,骑在那白马上的美腿不是徐的那双,何以见得? MTV没有显示全身,只有近景;在偶尔显示的远景里,全是虚景,没有清醒聚焦,所以用了替身。

千雅,练点真功夫,

朗昆,别让孔雀之乡变成鼓皮上的杂耍。

相信艺谋和我一样,会选一位皮肤黝黑,有少数民族血统的歌手来唱这首颂扬乡土的歌。


让彩云之南的自然美,多元文化之美

唱出最美的歌

我的英文评论原文:

South of the Clouds or Beyond Clouds.

Stephen Lin's Comment on XU Qianya's South of the Colorful Clouds

Is this selling the singer or Yunan the province?
Stunning graphics, nice music, the Cher- style falsetto is a little bit too much to bear, I would rather to see a few faces from the 20 or so ethnic groups thriving in the part of China, and scenery beyond this lake and Xu's face. Will it set off thousands of sails, as Helen did?

Yulong Snow-capped mountain? People have never associated this tropical spring-all-year-round province with snow, we beg to have a glimpse of the snow,
Is this another Yimou Zhang style Olympic or World Game bidding MTVs?
Fun to watch, though too much powder on her face---which betrays the natural beauties most people hold fond memory of this province, South of the Clouds or Beyond Clouds.
