Accompanied by a voiceover, the camera angle shifts.

In the crevice.

Those were innocent and naive eyes.

As a child, Chopin had no birth certificate or passport, so to avoid being questioned, he could only hide in a dark and cramped cabin from the time he was old enough to understand things.

Through the window, he saw the ocean and white seagulls, and one different port after another.

A small house and a round window comprised most of his childhood.

Gu Gang plays the adoptive father, who has high expectations for Chopin. Whenever he has free time, he teaches young Chopin to read and write. He also often looks to the future, saying that when Chopin grows up, he will save up a sum of money so that he can go to the biggest city and study at the best school.

As a child, Chopin was confused about the future. Having never disembarked from a ship, he did not understand what kind of world his adoptive father described.

In his limited memories, this ship and that sea were his whole world.

He was unfortunate; he was abandoned by his biological parents shortly after being weaned.

He was also lucky because he had a loving adoptive father who raised him with great care.

But misfortune never comes singly. His adoptive father died. During a voyage amidst towering waves, due to a crew member's mistake and the ship's rocking motion, a huge iron hook struck his adoptive father hard on the back of the head.

As a child, Chopin attended his adoptive father's funeral and witnessed his adoptive father's body being placed into the waves.

At the same time, he also heard a melodious sound, and someone told him that it was music.

It was still that cramped cabin, that round window.

These are lonely eyes.

He remained on the ship. Although he had sailed more than fifty times and visited many cities, he never disembarked. He simply stayed on the ship, watching one different port after another.

For him, the port was the land he perceived.

The crew believed that if Chopin had stayed on the ship as an adult, he would have become a sailor like them, or perhaps done some manual labor in the engine room.

One night, while he was hiding in the cabin listening to the waves and gazing at the moonlight, he heard a somewhat familiar sound again. He followed the sound and opened an iron gate that forbade entry.

Perhaps, to the other crew members, it was just a place for the wealthy to indulge in glitz and glamour in first class.

But for young Chopin, it opened the door to a new world.

Through the glass, he watched curiously as the guests inside ate, drank, played, sang, and danced.

My gaze finally settled on a piano.

"captain!"

"captain!"

"Wake up!"

In the dark of the night, the ballroom was dark. The crew members and guests working nearby pushed open the door and entered, all looking toward the piano at the far end.

Under the moonlight, a young Chopin sits at the piano and plays.

Another original song!

It's still classical music!

A text appeared on the screen.

—Nocturne in E-flat major

Pianists, both overseas and in China, showed surprise in their eyes.

In some screening rooms, there was a bit of noise or the crying of babies, which made them frown and some even shouted at the people to quiet down!

"Damn it, if I had known it was such a top-tier movie, I should have booked the entire screening room!"

Some overseas pianists thought indignantly.

On screen, the young Chopin still plays the piano in a proper and orderly manner, but the guests around him are surprised and curious about where the child came from.

After impatiently answering a question from a wealthy woman applying a face mask, the captain, played by Ye Yinhui, seemed to hear the surrounding guests' comments. He walked up to her seriously and said, "Chopin, you have completely violated the rules."

The young Chopin turned his head to look at the bearded Ye Yinhui and said firmly, "To hell with the rules!"

The screen kept switching between different views.

This is a memory, and also the first meeting between the second male lead and the main character.

After performing a trumpet solo, the second male lead, played by Zhao Wenyao, successfully boarded the cruise ship and became a trumpet player in the banquet hall.

The cruise ship, constantly being pulled by the waves, began to rock and sway violently. Zhao Wenyao, who was on a ship for the first time, was clearly not used to this sea rhythm.

"Hahaha!"

"puff!"

"This scene is so realistic."

Almost every screening room erupted in laughter.

Because of the bumpy ride, Zhao Wenyao rolled right out of the bedroom.

That's not all. As the ship began to rise and fall again, the character played by Zhao Wenyao started playing with his invincible whirlwind in the corridor.

This scene can be summed up in one word: amazing!

Is Zhao Wenyao going to switch careers and become a comedian?

Among them, the audience from Nanzhou laughed the most.

After all, Nanzhou was Zhao Wenyao's stronghold, and compared to Fusheng, Zhao Wenyao was much more popular in Nanzhou.

Nearly 40% of the audience from Nanzhou came to the screening room specifically to see Zhao Wenyao. Many of them had only heard of Fusheng or had only seen some news or headlines on social media.

Dizzy and disoriented, Zhao Wenyao rolled into the banquet hall, his vision blurred. He lay on the ground, grabbed a flowerpot, and began to feel waves of stomach acid rising from it.

At that moment, a young man in a white suit walked over gracefully.

At the same time, cheers and screams erupted simultaneously in countless screening rooms!

Life is fleeting!

Nearly half an hour into the movie, Fusheng, the protagonist, finally made his appearance!

It's no wonder the audience was so excited. This is Fusheng's first time participating in a movie, and for fans, it's definitely a milestone moment.

"Come with me."

"I have medicine for seasickness."

On the bumpy, crooked floor, Zhao Wenyao fell and was completely disoriented, while Lin Rui walked on flat ground as if it were nothing, creating a strong visual contrast!

"Trust me, release the brakes."

Sitting at the piano, Lin Rui began to play, and the piano, which had lost its brakes, began to glide through the banquet hall.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wenyao cursed, "So you're a madman."

"Fuck!"

The audience cheered because of the piano dancing in the banquet hall; after all, this movement, which defied the laws of physics to some extent, greatly aroused the audience's interest.

However, this infuriated the pianists who wanted to listen to the music closely, and their resentment that they should have booked the entire venue in the first place resurfaced.

Laughter erupted throughout the room, even the little kids giggled.

After all, Lin Rui's elegant demeanor on screen contrasted sharply with Zhao Wenyao's disheveled appearance, clinging tightly to the piano.

Undoubtedly, this is the first climax of "The Legend of 1900" so far.

It features Lin Rui's landmark first appearance in the film, the appearance of an original piano piece, special effects that defy physics, and hilarious scenes.

Zhao Wenyao stroked his chin, seriously pondering a question: "Could it be that I have some undiscovered talent in comedy?"

At this moment, Zhao Wenyao fell into deep self-doubt.
