"Early movies would advertise themselves as having 'more than ten songs' and tended to use them to replace dialogue," says Liang Liang. "It even got to the point that non-musicals were putting in two or three songs to add some spice."
「早期的國片常會強調『片中插曲十餘首』，並且出現『以歌唱取代對白』的喧賓奪主情形，甚至一般影片也多會安排兩、三首插曲，藉以增加其吸引力」，梁良指出。
