The most exciting scenes in "Sword Rain" are the content. "Sword Rain Floating Life" MV will be the first to let people appreciate the rivers and lakes of "Sword Rain". Among them, the deep love of "Ishiqiao Chan" highlights the tender side of "Sword Rain".
John Woo personally determined the lyrics of "Stone Bridge Zen"
"Summit" coquettish interpretation of reincarnation love
A rumbling of thunder and rain, a lonely boat on the quiet lake shrouded in smoke – accompanied by the movie screen rich in Chinese classical charm, the ethereal female voice of Sa Dingding and the charming male voice of soda green lead singer Qingfeng. One is an international legendary actress, the other is the love of literary and artistic youth, and their combination can be called "the pinnacle". It is understood that director John Woo appointed the two at the beginning, believing that only their devilish voices can interpret the love theme of the reincarnation in the past life in "Sword Rain", while the music chose the classic song "Flower Walking Free" from Sa Dingding’s "Heaven and Earth" album. The whole song has been re-arranged and mixed to show a completely different feeling and style.
The lyrics of "Sword Rain Floating Life" are completely rewritten according to the content of the film. The lyrics are from the love theme "Stone Bridge Zen" that runs through the film throughout the film. "Before Buddha Ananda became a monk, he saw a beautiful girl on the road, and he loved her from then on. Buddha asked him: How much do you like that girl? Ananda replied: I would like to be transformed into a Qingshi Bridge, and I would like to be beaten by the sun and rain for five hundred years, and I would only ask that girl to walk across the bridge." This deep Zen love not only changed the fate of every character in "Sword Rain", but also deeply moved John Woo. "There is a very human story and touching love in" Sword Rain ". Therefore, he specified that the lyrics must reflect the theme of this love, and repeatedly revised it many times to determine the final version.

It has been praised by the media as "the most sophisticated and attentive martial arts film. In all aspects of directing, acting, photography, art, sound effects, etc., it has surrendered high-level homework in the field of Chinese films… The ancient meaning, Zen flavor, and Jianghu style that come to the face are even more rare." The success of "Sword Rain" lies not only in "Wu", but also in "Xia". The love drama in it "exudes a strong legendary temperament and imagination of Oriental martial arts, and the love of chivalrous bones and soft intestines is evocative". " The MV of "Sword Rain Floating Life" is just a glimpse of the love of "Stone Bridge Chan" in "Sword Rain". To truly appreciate the tenderness of chivalrous bones in the reincarnation of the previous life, you have to go into the cinema to enjoy it yourself.
