Theme song of the movie "Willow Wave Singing Warbler" - "See You Again"
Mao Weitao Zheng Yunlong sang
Adapted from Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House, Mao Dun Literature Award winner Wang Xufeng's series of works "Ten Views of the West Lake", "Willow Wave Smelling Warbler" was officially filed until the national release on March 5. Directed by Dai Wei and starring Zheng Yunlong, Wang Biao and Kan Xin. The film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Golden Jue Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
Thousands of miles of smoke and waves, holding hands to look at each other's tearful eyes, this past year, the beautiful scenery of the good day is imaginary.
The song is as gentle as a cry, the picture is beautiful and hazy, and a jiangnan love story with a shallow and gentle love relationship jumps out in front of you.
"Liulang Smelling Warbler" is a story in the "Ten Views of the West Lake" series, set in one of the Ten Views of the West Lake, "Liulang Smelling Warbler", which mainly tells the emotional entanglement between two girls and a fan artist in the Jiangnan Yue Opera Troupe.
The extremely talented girl Xiaosheng and Hua Dan Yinxin grew up together in the drama team since childhood, and the two have very different personalities, but they are like sisters. Hair hanging to the point of love, living for the stage; Silver Heart seems simple and innocent, but in fact is a girl who knows how to advance and retreat, and can drill camps.
They were originally the most important people in each other's eyes, but the world was uncertain and various differences came, especially the emergence of Hangzhou painters who wanted to be good, so that the feelings of the two girls who depended on each other for their lives were tested.
The times change, Yue opera turns from prosperity to decline, and when the song finally disperses, whether it is the weeping hair and silver heart of singing Yue opera, or the painters who open fan zhuang are good at work; whether it is the love of talented people and beautiful people, or the acquaintance of sympathy, they are drowned in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan, leaving only the loss of heart and the initial beauty.

Love, there is a graceful beauty and a detached beauty
Love is an important motif of human spiritual life, and it is also the theme of the 10 series of novels in "Ten Views of the West Lake". This set of books was first published under the name of "West Lake of Love", and this time published under the name of "Ten Views of West Lake", the work has carried out fresh novel text experiments, inheriting the tradition of Chinese series of novels, integrating Western modern novel techniques, and interpreting a poignant and entangled love story that takes place on the shore of Xizi Lake.
Among them, "The Willow Wave Oriole" is a representative one, using the style of traditional drama, and the beginning is the writing of the opening statement of the play, with sound and color, appearance, and voiceover. It embodies Wang Xufeng's own concept of love: fans, Yue opera, etc. are the carriers, but in fact, the core is still love. The love we yearn for should have no money and fame, should be free from all materialistic constraints, and some are only romantic feelings, which are scarce in the current era of entertainment supremacy.

Drama has both classical beauty and spiritual beauty
In addition to depicting the exquisite tenderness of classical drama, "The Willow Wave" reflects more of a spiritual trait, that is, human personality and self-pursuit. Weeping Hair and Yin Xin performed "Liang Zhu" many times, and the two were divided and merged in the play, and it was difficult to give up. Outside the play, the two went farther and farther, and finally bid farewell to the silver heart in the rain, and from then on, the end of the world was separated, just like the bridge section of the "Eighteen Send-offs" starring them. Whether it is to stay together or to separate, it is to pursue the liberation of the soul.
In "The Willow Wave Smelling Warbler", Gong Yishan said: "You Yue opera's 'female child', she is the third sex between men and women. "'Female Xiaosheng' is not a man, nor a woman, nor a man or a woman, she is beyond men and women, like kneading men and women into a purer gender..." This theory about the gender of theatrical role is deeply rooted in the essence of classical culture, and emphasizes a more philosophical realm, you have me, I have you.

Life, there is the beauty of the end and the beauty of yearning
"Gathering and dispersing sometimes, the smoke and rain have not been by people", the beauty of love, for thousands of years for countless literati and inkers to sing and praise, nothing more than leaving a lot of deficiencies and regrets, life and love, there is always a lot of lonely taste after the end, which is also in line with the art of leaving blank, want to say hugh, leaving people with a lot of aftertaste. And these aftertastes, such as the moon hanging high on the lake, can become the eternal sustenance of the spiritual world and trigger our long-term gaze.
Perhaps just like the ending of "The Willow Wave", the ideal and beauty may eventually be shattered by reality, torn apart, and it is impossible to recover, but as long as we still yearn in our hearts, we will find that beauty is reborn. As long as we wait under the hustle and bustle, all the good will return.
Azure is waiting for smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you, looking forward to seeing you again.
