The last program on the program was a symphony performance from Western music.
Just when the audience finished listening to the music and were about to get up and leave, the folk music students rushed out from backstage and moved all their instruments onto the stage.
"Hey, there's an Easter egg?" The audience below was confused, but when they saw there was a performance, they all sat down.
"It's not on the program? There are bonus songs!"
At the same time, more than a dozen spectators wearing two-dimensional clothes rushed in. They all came to support Lord Thousand Fingers.
After seeing their unusual attire, some parents even reminded them: "When you grow up, you must not be like them."
Guzheng, pipa, drums, erhu, sheng, yangqin...
These musical instruments, which many people have only seen on TV, all appeared on the stage.
When the last set of chimes was carefully moved to the stage, the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Chimes!" A child stood up excitedly.
The last person to take the stage was an elderly man, wearing a simple Mao suit. Beneath his graying hair were a pair of eyes filled with deep emotion.
"It's Mr. Chen." Several professionals who came with Ye Kongqing exclaimed, "Sister Ye, were you the one who invited her?"
"Mr. Chen wanted to come here on his own, saying he wanted to satisfy his acting addiction."
Mr. Chen, the president of the Shanghai Folk Music Association, also played the janitor in the film. (He provided the venue for the protagonists and also found the chime bells he had treasured for a long time.)
Old Chen turned around and walked over to the set of chimes. His hands trembled as he tapped them gently.
Not because of nervousness, but because of excitement.
Perhaps, after this movie is broadcast, it will really be like what Zhou Yiyang has envisioned - allowing more people to know and inherit folk music.
The originally noisy hall immediately became quiet after the chimes sounded the first syllable.
Several parents couldn't help but shed tears.
This is a response from their blood, a dialogue that transcends time and space.
This is the weight of inheritance.
Mr. Chen sang an ancient music piece. Although most of the people present did not understand the meaning of the lyrics, they subconsciously got goose bumps all over their bodies.
This opening is so grand.
The audience—yes, the extras—completely forgot they were filming a movie; they truly believed they'd bought tickets to attend a concert. Every reaction from them was so genuine.
Jiang Xiaoliang, who was controlling the camera, curled up the corners of his mouth and secretly gave Zhou Yiyang a thumbs up.
Lady Qianzhi, with her white hair and black clothes, resembled the white-haired witch often seen in martial arts movies. Her fingers danced swiftly on the guzheng, producing a thrilling sound.
Yingzi plays the erhu, Beita plays the pipa, Chen Jing plays the yangqin, and Jiajia plays the drums...
At this moment, they have become the characters in the movie who are pursuing their dreams.
This group of children who were never favored by others finally made a significant mark in their youth.
"Pass!"
Everyone in the crew burst into tears. They passed, they passed in one try!
After the excitement, comes reluctance.
"We're done, everyone." Zhou Yiyang walked up to the crew and bowed to them. "Thank you all for your hard work over the past three months. I'll treat you all to dinner tonight!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Zhou is so handsome!"
"Oh, I can't bear to leave you all! Mr. Zhou, don't forget us when you're filming next time!"
Of course, a film isn't finished just by filming. It still needs editing, and a film originally three or four hours long often ends up with over an hour left. Furthermore, there are special effects. For example, during the final performance, there are often flashy special effects to elevate the atmosphere.
Finally, there's publicity, from various trending searches online to major universities taking turns to endorse the initiative.
If you want to win awards, you must attend film festivals, and film critics need public relations. To attract audiences, a test screening that makes you laugh and cry is also necessary.
These jobs are no easier than making movies, and their impact on box office is even greater.
But none of this mattered to the four girls, as Zhou Yiyang was the one who was busy. The four of them had already huddled together with the staff, crying their eyes out.
"It's finished just like that." Tang Yue, the only one who didn't cry, said with emotion: "Our first movie is finished!"
