The most exciting scene of the movie "Behind the Curtain" is the scene of the ensemble of ten thousand guzhengs: 10,000 violinists from all directions, men and women, old and young, everyone concentrated and worked together to play the popular "My Motherland" music, at that moment, in the cinema hall, what we heard was not only the grandeur and tuotuo sound of the guzheng, a traditional Chinese instrument, but also felt the strongest sound of the Chinese nation's self-confidence and patriotism, and could not help but be deeply moved.
And this is just a scene in the movie "Behind the Scenes", as the first Chinese music guzheng theme film in China, "Behind the Scenes" has three major points worthy of everyone's attention, one is a story that is difficult enough and tortuous but very inspirational, the other is the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture, especially traditional musical instruments, and the third is that the film invites a number of real guzheng artists to participate in the performance, giving the film the most orthodox guzheng charm.
The movie "Behind the Scenes", which will be released nationwide on September 17, tells the story of music agent Han Qing, in order to promote traditional Chinese culture, in order to let the people of the world hear the sound of the guzheng, he did not hesitate to give up his own business, resolutely refused the position of agent of well-paid foreign musicians, and despite everyone's doubts and even objections, embarked on a difficult but strong faith journey. For Han Qing, he has to face not only the lack of funds, but also the challenges from life, work and even family relations, which seems to be a musical journey that allows Chinese culture to continue to develop, but for him, it is also a journey full of thorns in music.
Perhaps, the meaning of life lies in this - to know that it cannot be done. The more difficult it is, the more we must overcome all dangers and obstacles to realize our dreams. Han Qing's process of preparing for the concert is indeed complicated, but what is even more rare is that he did not compromise for the urgent shortage of funds, whether it was in the face of unqualified event builders, or insincere corporate investors, as well as Western musicians who were quite critical of traditional Chinese instruments... His stubbornness is exactly the excellent character that an upright Chinese should have, although it has been repeatedly misunderstood and even blamed, but the great waves have exhausted the gold, his sincerity, we can all see, his dream, not only the will of an individual, but also the glory of a nation and a country.
"Behind the Curtain" is directed by Shi Qiang, Han Yanbo as the producer, Jian Ming as the producer, Lin Xiaoshi, Zhan Yashu, Jiao Qirui, Xiao Xiaodi, Yang Zhidi, Chu Pengxu, Fu Mingjian, Li Qingfeng, Song Xinxin, Chen Zhe, Gao Nan, Zhang Gejiao and other co-stars, especially the three professional kite players in the cast, it is more worthy of everyone's attention, they are Fu Mingjian teacher, Li Qingfeng teacher, and jiao Qirui, a son of the guzheng family, who is not only exquisite in piano skills, but also plays a role that is impressive.
The guzheng is a traditional Chinese instrument that Han Qing has devoted his life to in "Behind the Scenes", and he is just a "behind-the-scenes person", as a pusher, pushing the guzheng to the front of the stage and in front of the world audience, but he is unknown. As a result, the melodious sound of the piano above the stage is in particular contrast to the hard work and busyness below the stage. Especially when the elaborate Japanese guzheng concert was held as scheduled, his daughter was smashed by the background board during the performance, and could not return to China in time because there was no ticket to buy, and the melodious and elegant guzheng music was more like a deep consolation and gratitude to Han Qing. And we also need to have such a film to feel the ordinariness and greatness of the workers behind Chinese music, as well as the meaning and value of traditional Chinese music.
