You Tian Ming, a drop of tears, forged a mentoring relationship.
Jiao Sanye, played by Tao Zeru, is a famous suona artist in Wu Shuang town. Among the two, four and eight different levels of suona, "A Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is respected, and only a handful of people can play it. Nature is a prestigious and respected person. In the era when a hundred birds fly at the phoenix, and whose ancestral graves are full of smoke, it was all played by Li Mincheng. However, after you Jiaban inherited Jiao Jiaban, the prospect of suona art is not as good as before. Facing the progress of new technology in the new era, the master's health is getting worse and worse, and his spiritual pillar collapses. Although you Tianming is still insisting, he is at a loss.
The director told a story about the inheritance of folk culture with delicate emotions. The whole movie is simple and touching. Although the ending is regrettable, the master and apprentice experienced the confrontation of foreign bands and the decline of folk customs, but their persistence is always gratifying. In the film, the master is strict with his disciples, and the deep feelings revealed are clearly visible. It is touching that the disciples always respect Master and insist on not forgetting the teacher training. And the sentence "Suona is not for others, but for yourself" is even more touching. Facing the impetuous new era, some people will insist on retaining their original innocence, just like director Wu's attitude towards film art.
Li Mincheng deduces from the heart.
Actor Li Mincheng's performance in the film is excellent, and he vividly interprets the simple and kind Tian Ming. The first time he went to work, he panicked and relied on his master very well. When the suona skill turned from prosperity to decline, he was helpless and helpless. This is also heartbreaking. Before the end, You Tianming performed solo in front of the master's grave, but when he saw that the master was as tough as before, he turned and left.
Li Mincheng, a dramatic actor, was lucky enough to receive the role shortly after her career change, and won the Best Newcomer Award at the 5th Vientiane Film Festival in Britain for this film. In recent years, she has participated in many film works, whether it is the film You at the same table or Baby Don't Cry, or the TV series Night Man 1, Night Man 2 and Embracing the Moon with the Stars. She has an excellent performance and her strength is acting.
