it has been a while since we discuss movie songs which are forgotten. We always seem to hear the common ones like Feng Ye Qing, Hai Ou, Qing Shi Duo Yun Ou Chen Yu, XinYou Qian Qian Jie, etc. These songs are always available and have been released over and over again.
There are still thousands of other movie songs which have had limited release, some not even released in CD format. These are songs which were lovely written for the movies of the 70s but have been forgotten. Today, I would like to take us through some of these.
Ai Qing Lei Feng Yu - by Yang Ya Hui, movie was produced by Shaw brothers starring Niu Niu, Er Tung Sheng, Chen Sze Jia, etc. It was one of the efforts of Shaw to produce love story movies but unfortunately was not as successful as those from Taiwan. The stars were relatively new at that time and did not have the power of Chen Chen or two Lins and two Chins. Song is lively and cute.
Mi Mi Xiang Sze Ling - by Chen Ying Jie, 5 songs written by Ruo Ming Dao for the movie. One of his best compositions. Movie starred Li Ching and Liang Xiu Sheng, about 2 lovers - one Japanese girl and a Taiwanese man during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan - could withstand the time and separation to reunite again much later.
Meng Hu - by Qiu Yuan Shu, 4 songs for the movie written by Gu Yue. beautifully written and the movie starred Chin Han and Tang Pao Yun. This was their only movie where they played lovers. Tang played a motherly figure in the movie Yi Ke Hong Do starring Chin Han and Lin Ching Hsia, only a couple of years later.
Bi Yun Tian - by Chen Lan Li and Yu Tian, 6 songs written for the movie by Tony Oong Ching Xi and Huang Ren Ching. the songs express the emotions very well in this movie, starring Lin Feng Chiao, Chin Han and Sylvia Zhang. Movie was directed by Li Hsing and based on novel of Qiong Yao. Great movie hit back then. The forgotten songs are the other songs in the movie besides title track "Wei Qu Wei Liao ni".
will add on more at the next session. feel free to comment.
