嫦娥请客 · 广寒宫 · 中秋之夜
Not So Cold Tonight — three thousand years on the moon, and the night she finally stops working.
中秋节的歌，几乎都是想念的歌——《但愿人长久》《十五的月亮》《明月千里寄相思》，每一首都很美，也每一首都在讲距离。新年有《恭喜发财》，有热闹，有一起唱的歌；中秋好像一直缺一首。
所以这一部不拍名句，也不拍悲壮。它拍广寒宫里的四个老住户：捣药的玉兔，砍树的吴刚，一动不动的蟾蜍，还有捣了三千年药、只想回人间看一眼的嫦娥。今晚是中秋，大家说好——休息一天。
其实月亮上的每一个人，本来都有一段很冷的传说。吴刚砍的桂树随砍随合，永远砍不完；而在张衡《灵宪》最早的版本里，那只蟾蜍就是嫦娥自己。这首歌没有改掉这些传说，只是让他们在同一个晚上，一起放下手里的活。
Almost every Mid-Autumn song ever written is about missing someone — beautiful, every one, and every one about distance. Chinese New Year has songs you sing together. Mid-Autumn never quite got one.
So the fourth film leaves the famous lines and the tragic register behind for one night. It visits the four old residents of the Palace of Vast Cold — the Jade Rabbit at his pestle, Wu Gang at a tree that heals every cut, a toad who will not move, and Chang'e, who has spent three thousand years pounding out a way home. It is Mid-Autumn. Everyone agrees to take the night off.
Every figure on the moon comes from a cold story. Wu Gang's osmanthus closes over every blow of the axe; in the oldest written version, Zhang Heng's Lingxian, the toad in the moon is Chang'e herself. The song keeps all of that. It simply lets them put their work down on the same night.
副歌最早写的是「今晚没有人是一个人」。后来改掉了——因为在中秋夜，独自看这支片子的人其实很多，而那一句替他们下了一个不真实的结论。
「你只要抬头，就是团圆」不描述你今晚在哪里、和谁在一起。它只给你一个随时做得到的动作。团圆的门槛，已经替你跨过去了。
The first draft of the chorus said nobody is alone tonight. It was cut, because on a festival night a great many people watch alone, and the line told them something untrue about themselves.
The final line doesn't describe where you are or who you're with. It offers one thing you can always do. The bar for reunion is already cleared.
