There are many measures of good movies, some people like the storyline, some people like the connotation concept conveyed by the movie, some people like the way it is filmed, like the actors or role settings in the film, and even some people only like the beautiful scenery in a film.
After all, everyone knows that "a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets", a thousand viewers, a thousand or more comments and different feelings about the movie.
Dapeng (Dong Chengpeng) has a relatively large identity label, he debuted as a host, gradually engaged in some directorial and screenwriter work, and later became a recognized actor.
Like many people, he has what he wants to accomplish, the height he wants to reach, and he keeps creating something new on this road again and again, although it is always unsatisfactory.
At the beginning, a friend introduced me to watch a few episodes of the 2012 funny short drama "Di Si Men", there was a little laugh, but there was no nutrition, and then I forgot, and the impression of him at that time was not very good.
In this movie "The Sewing Machine Band" directed and starred by Dapeng himself, there are indeed tearful clips in the viewing process. People who have dreams, the flame in their hearts may have a faint moment, but it will not be extinguished, as long as it has been, it will one day burn.
After the movie "Sewing Machine Band" was released in 2017, the cumulative box office was only 450 million, and the passing line on Douban also passed. Generally speaking, it was a relatively satisfactory answer sheet handed in by Dapeng at that time.
Set in Ji'an, Jilin Province, Dapeng's birthplace, the film was initiated by Hu Liang, played by Qiao Shan, bringing together a group of young people who love music. Together, they formed a band, and in the midst of funny and persistent persistence, the heart that beat for the music and the people who burned the wings for their dreams once boiled with blood.
I believe that people who have dreams and like music will be touched by this sincerity.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > laugh point that is not embarrassing, and is a spice for the cheerful spirit on the road to chasing dreams</h1>
Comedian Qiao Shan is a funny person in this movie, and he plays Hu Liang, who has lived in Ji'an City since childhood. In the movie, a guitar-breaking band composed of four doctors became famous, thus driving Ji'an City and giving Ji'an the reputation of rock city.
The Ji'an Municipal Government established a rock park to commemorate the broken guitar band and built a sculpture with a big guitar as the image. The popular broken guitar band has caused a huge impact on the heart of little Hu Liang, and has since become Hu Liang's persistent dream.
However, time has changed, and as rock 'n' roll has gradually declined, the government has to demolish and renovate rock parks. This means that the big guitar will disappear from the place of Ji'an, and a group of people who have good hopes for rock and roll will also lose a spiritual sustenance.
The power of ordinary people is actually weak, in the case of the minority group that loves rock and roll, they cannot make changes to some decisions of the national government, and the personal "wishful thinking" is unarmed, and it is even more difficult to shake the practice of demolishing the big guitar.
For Hu Liang, the big guitar he loved and respected since he was a child was about to be demolished, which seemed to mean that his faith collapsed with the fall of the big guitar. Despite this, before and after, Hu Liang is a very optimistic person.
Find a way to invite Cheng Gong (played by Dapeng), the former manager of the guitar breaking band, to be his agent, and pay all the only 100,000 yuan he has as a deposit to Cheng Gong. Hu Liang, who was alone, began to form his own band, and he didn't even write a song.
He just wanted to do something for the twentieth anniversary of the guitar breaking band's performance in Ji'an, and although he didn't give up in his heart, he was actually ready to accept it, and to open a concert in front of the broken guitar sculpture was just an account of his past rock dream, a large farewell party with a sense of ceremony.
For the fall of the big guitar, Hu Liang was heartbroken. His heartbreak manifests itself in many details, but he uses his humor to carefully cover them up.
Dapeng fills a lot of jokes in this movie, which can express his frank and slightly ridiculous funny attitude on the road of difficult dreams. Knowing that the result is difficult to be as beautiful as imagined, it is better to face it in a witty and humorous way, which is a kind of comfort to oneself.
In fact, these are also the spiritual nutrients that people need on the road to chasing their dreams.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > music, is the pure land that is firmly held in the heart, and is a thousand cups of wine for confidants</h1>
I believe that in life, music is something that everyone can't do without. We listen to music in the middle of the night, listen to music in special festivals celebrated by the whole country, and also need music accompaniment to set off the atmosphere at weddings or funerals, it can be said that music is everywhere.
Sometimes it brings comfort to the soul like a good medicine; sometimes like a friend, it accompanies you in times of loneliness, and sometimes it is like a psychiatrist, who seems to be able to guess what people are thinking, and let you discover that in another distant corner of the world, there are people who have similar feelings to themselves.
Maybe everyone has had a musical dream, only to be placed for more or less reasons, until it is abandoned.
But there are always some people who have been struggling to rely on their own enthusiasm and insist on the yearning and learning of music. They are like the great classic figures of Beethoven and Chopin who have left their names in history, and they are like Jay Chou, Wang Feng or a new generation of musicians, represented by Mao Buyi and Zhou Shen. They are envied, respected, and have created certain achievements through their perseverance in the path of music. And these music will become the salvation and companionship of some people when they are lost, which is a kind of comfort and a sustenance for the soul.
Tagore once said, don't try to fill the void of life, because music comes from the depths of that gap.
In "Sewing Machine Band", Cheng Gong, starring Dapeng, was not successful, forced by money and life pressure, and had to go to create an artist like "non-mainstream" in order to please more audiences, and repeatedly buried his inner passion for music, until he met Hu Liang.
Hu Liang influenced Cheng Gong with his unique Northeastern accent and witty and humorous attitude towards life. On the surface, he seems to be a bit hanging, but Hu Liang has a fanaticism and dedication to music inside, and this dedication allows him to pay any righteous price.
He Naza's bassist Ding Jianguo, Li Hongqi's drummer Dynamite, Han Tongsheng's doctor Yang Shuangshu, and the little girl who carries her mother to secretly learn piano are special music groups.
Although they all gathered in the same band because of different starting points, in the end they all respected their inner love for music, as if they had found a confidant, so that they could smile and move with tears in their eyes on the stage that was successfully held.
When Cheng Gong was touched by the music played by the motorcycle on the traffic jam and the banner propaganda hanging for their concert, he rediscovered the initial enthusiasm for music in his heart, abandoned the need for money at the beginning, held his original intention, and reorganized the lost sewing machine band again.
It is the same people as them who are able to defend what some people want to hold on to but easily give up. It is precisely in this way that the title of Ji'an Rock City can be more deeply integrated with the bones and blood of this city.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > music is a dream, an inspiration, and a legacy</h1>
Many people may find that Dapeng is actually very well-intentioned in the movie "Sewing Machine Band".
The beginning and end of the film are seamlessly connected, from the speech of the little boy Hu Liang "My Hometown Ji'an" to the speech of the little girl who plays the piano. Music, as a kind of dream and art and humanistic spirit, has been passed down here.
The three-dimensional big guitar has been torn down, but rock and roll and dreams have become inseparable from the city of Ji'an. This is the profound theme that Dapeng conveys through this film.
Hu Liang has witnessed the growth and demise of the guitar breaking band since he was a child, and he has an obsession and love for rock and roll fanaticism in his heart, and it is that love for music that inspires and inspires small people like him who have common dreams, so as to realize the inheritance of certain material culture and intangible culture.
Some parts of the film, although flawed, do not affect the overall inspiration and defense of music and dreams. To a certain extent, it can reawaken the dreams and loves that people have pursued in their hearts, and this burning is irresistible.
As the lyrics of the guitar-breaking band members sang on stage at the beginning: Money, status, power, and glory are irresistible.
But when the music starts, the most irresistible thing is the sound of following the footsteps of dreams in the depths of the heart.
