As the saying goes: "When the sound rings, the gold is ten thousand taels." The golden song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is even more a must.
The movie "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" was released in 2016, and it was written by the "fourth generation director" Wu Tianming. In fact, only one month after completing the film editing in 2014, director Wu Tianming's death made "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" a master's swan song. Today, we continue to talk about the second half of "Hundred Birds and Phoenixes".
Continuing from the previous chapter, Tianming learned all the skills of Jiao Sanye, and the "Jiao Family Class" in Wushuang Town will also be changed to the name "You". You Tianming handed over the Suona team from the master, and he was both happy and stressed. After that, the senior brothers in the team relied on him to work and support their families.
The first job Tianming received was to beat the little friend to get married, and ask the team to play joy.
The first time he took on such a big job, Tianming had no bottom in his heart, and sent someone to ask Master Jiao to help the town, but Third Master Jiao pushed off the matter of the traveling family class and had nothing to do with him. Therefore, Tianming had to take the team to the wedding venue by himself. When the children greet the musicians, there is no custom of receiving the teachers on the past day.
At the wedding, the bride and groom walk in a couple, followed by a craftsman to blow the joy even brighter.
At the wedding banquet, a friend interrupted the Tianming crowd who was performing: "Don't take it too seriously, just blow it!" Several red envelopes were subsequently given. The senior brothers counted the tickets and happily gave a lot of money this time.
Tianming is a little sad, after the material life is better, people prefer the pleasure consumption brought by money, and they pay less and less attention to the spiritual consumption of listening to the folk music. The work of the craftsmen is becoming less and less, and the failure to perform the acceptance ceremony shows that the respect of the big guys for the craftsmen has also declined.
Tianming took the team out to live, and the Youjia class could stand up, and he could also be on his own. After the work was done, the first thing Tianming did was to go back to see the master. He bought Master's favorite tobacco leaves and white wine to honor Master, and bought flower cloth for his mother.
Third Master Jiao asked Tianming, did he know the reason for taking him as an apprentice in the first place? Tianming replied that it was the master who was kind and could not bear to watch his father beat the doll. But Third Master Jiao denied that he was taken in because of his tears, when his father handed a cigarette and fell, Tianming felt sorry for his father's tears, making Third Master Jiao think that he was a candidate who could take on the responsibility of inheritance.
Tianming was also curious and asked, why didn't Master come to help him support the field? Third Master Jiao smiled and said, "If you go, can you let go?" "Give the descendants enough space for training, instead of just holding on to their wings for soaring, the courage is getting bigger and bigger, and Third Master Jiao is well versed in the way of cultivation.
Subsequently, the master and apprentice duo started drinking and eating, and talked about the fact that the team was becoming more and more unable to survive, and the remuneration received by the people who appeared was getting less and less. The decline of traditional folk performances has made it difficult for folk art to take root in the lives of the masses, making it difficult for artisans who inherit their craftsmanship to make a living, and the accompanying local etiquette and customs are also disappearing. The less attention, the faster it fades.
Master Jiao talked about how when he was out of work in the past, the master sat on the Taishi chair, and the filial piety and grandson knelt down in a large area, and he was very grateful. Nowadays, there are no rules, what is a craftsman? Master Jiao came from sorrow, drank to the head of excitement, and when talking about his heart, he took out a salute to the Suona passed down from the dynasty, detailed their history, and warned Tianming: "Suona is not blown to others, but to yourself!" ”
Yes, Na Na is blown to himself. The craftsman integrates the sound of the music into life, blows the sound into the bones, and blows out the personality, story and life of the craftsman.
Suona is a traditional folk instrument with Chinese characteristics, the Suona artisan is blown to the people, the art of Suona comes from the people, turning the story of the Chinese on the land of Shenzhou into poetry on the score of Suona, and Suona is blown to us.
Master drank too much, his face turned red, and he blew excitedly until he was drunk. When Tianming saw this situation, he felt that whether it was the master of the older generation of craftsmen or the new generation of inheritors himself, the contradiction and conflict between the love of the ideal of Suona art and the decline of reality in the changing times were also a test for the life and soul of Suona craftsmen.
No matter what, Tianming obeyed Master's teachings: "Wushuang Town can't be without Suona!" ”
Early the next morning, when Tianming left Master's house, he planned to keep some bits and pieces, but in the end he left all the money on his body to Master and Mother. At this time, Tianming was already the pillar of the Youjia, and he couldn't earn any money just by blowing about it.
Parents constantly remind Tianming of the economic pressure and marriage and childbearing pressure he faces, and have been counting why Tianming insists on bragging about it, and going out to work to earn money in order to live. Tianming knew his parents' worries and kindness, but he still chose to stick to his promise to his master to pass on his life as well.
On this day, Tianming met Blue Jade in the market. Lan Yu is now a worker in an oil mill, and he has long been relieved that he was not selected by the master at that time, and Lan Yu has a wild nature, and if the team was under him, he would have disbanded long ago. Lan Yu also persuaded Tianming to go to Xi'an with him to work and stop sticking to it. Tianming naturally insisted on his position and did not waver.
Soon, Tianming took the Youjia class out to work again, but unexpectedly was stopped halfway through the playing. It turned out that a Western band and song girls came opposite, and the trendy pop music and beautiful women's graceful dance postures attracted men, women and children to it, and the field on this side cooled down.
Tianming didn't know how to deal with it, and at this time, Third Master Jiao came out and said, "Prepare guy!" The presence of the master made Tianming have a score in his heart. Tianming took the lead in blowing a high-pitched tune, disrupting the Western music on the opposite side.
The Western music played a more intense symphony, and the two obviously fought each other. The song girl got off the stage, and a few punks didn't see it, and came to Tianming to make them stop playing at double the price.
But this time not to do money, Tianming is fighting for a breath. He flatly refused to annoy the gangsters. The two groups scuffled, and during the fight, Suona, who could not leave his mouth, fell to the ground and was trampled into pieces.
Jiao Sanye looked at the broken sorrow, and overturned the table to stop the group fight. Third Master Jiao picked up the broken Na lying on the ground, and his heart was also cold.
After that, the situation of the traveling family class became more and more difficult, and the work received became less and less. Several senior brothers also shirked the matter of work, ready to go to the city to work, there are old and young in the family, who does not want to live?
The family class cannot be dispersed! There was a shortage of people in life, and Third Master Jiao personally came to the top. The deceased this time was the head of Dou Village, who had beaten devils and bandits when he was young, and broke his ribs in order to repair the reservoir for the villagers. Jiao Sanye believes that Village Chief Dou is a veritable person of high moral integrity, worthy of a song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" to pay tribute to the dead.
However, Jiao Sanye blew the scream of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", and blood flowed. Everyone competed to persuade, but Master Jiao insisted that everyone play: "I can't die!" ”
Afterwards, Tianming took Master to the hospital for examination, only to learn that Third Master Jiao was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and the remaining days were more than one year, as little as two months. Knowing that his time was running out, Third Master Jiao asked Tianming to sell the Jiao family's cattle, and the money from the sale was used to buy a new set of Suona guys for Tianming.
Master Bo's life was in danger, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau came to invite the Youjia class to perform the recording. Tianming went to Xi'an to find the senior brothers, looking forward to supporting the Youjia class. However, one finger of the second senior brother working in the lumber mill was cut off by a chainsaw, and the third senior brother suffered from lung disease while working in the asbestos factory, and they could not blow it at all in their lives. The traveling class finally dispersed.
The limit of Third Master Jiao has still arrived. In front of the tombstone of the third master Jiao of Suona, only Tianming alone bragged to see him off. Suddenly, the master sat on the Taishi chair, listening to the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" played by the heavenly sound, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and got up and left the world in the midst of a scream. Along with it, there is also the era of Wushuang Town.
At this point, the film ends. (End)
