Neiman loves music, and his biggest dream is to become a top jazz drummer.
That day, he practiced alone in the middle of the night, all of which was seen by another person, who was about to completely change his destiny.
He was Fletcher — Terence Fletcher. (Hereinafter called him Lao Fu)
Lao Fu was a well-known teacher at the Conservatory of Music, known for his strictness, and many students were proud to be his disciples.
The way Neman practiced late at night made Old Fu, who happened to be recruiting musicians, take a little interest in him.
The next day, after a small test, Neiman was called away by Lao Fu in the envious eyes of his classmates, with an excited smile on his face.
"Room b16, 7am tomorrow morning. Don't be late. ”
Old Fu left a word and turned away.
Neiman's heart blossomed, and that night, he went to find the girl he had already had feelings for to confess. The girl promised him.
The next day, Lao Fu's class.
Old Fu first introduced Neiman gracefully but humorously, which made Neiman's image of Old Fu a lot better.
"He wasn't as harsh as his classmates said."
"That's not your boyfriend's a**, don't rush to orgasm."
During the performance, Lao Fu suddenly interrupted.
Then, in another practice, someone was out of tune, and Lao Fu interrupted the playing again.
"Either you're deliberately interrupting our performance, or you don't even know you're out of tune, which is even harder."
Old Fu stood in front of Metz and roared at him.
After Metz left, Old Fu suddenly smiled, "Explain, Metz is not out of tune, it is you, Alex." But he didn't even know if he was out of tune, and that was bad enough. ”
In the second lesson, it was time for Inner Man.
He played very well until—
"Stop, a bit of a hurry."
"Repeat, 16, 17, 18 bars."
"18 bars, go."
After 7 or 8 times of warning, he grabbed a folding chair and flew to Neiman's head!
Old Fu stepped forward and asked, "Are you still dragging it out?" Now start counting. ”
“one two three four”
syllable!
Every time Neman counted, he would be slapped by Lao Fu.
Tears flowed, and Neiman's heart was full of mixed feelings.
Since then, Neiman has begun a devilish practice, the tiger's mouth has broken, and the cramps of the index finger have gradually become commonplace.
Before a performance, the original drummer lost his score, and he couldn't perform without it, at this time, Neiman said, "I can." ”
The result was unsurprisingly, and it ended perfectly!
Later, a new member joined the band, and he replaced Neiman's core drummer with a "double swing".
In order to regain the core, Neiman even proposed to break up with his girlfriend.
Before another performance, Neiman suddenly found that he had forgotten his drumsticks.
As he returned to pick it up, he collided with a van.
Eventually, Neiman dragged his scarred body back to the scene with the drumsticks, the chaotic drum beats, the blood-dripping hands.
The show failed.
Neiman was kicked out of the band.
He was silent.
Just as Lao Fu was speaking, he suddenly raised his blood-red eyes and pounced on Lao Fu, and he wrestled with Lao Fu!
Neiman was expelled from school, and Old Fu was also exposed to the rough treatment of students and forced to resign.
But do you think this is the end?
The climax of this movie is the real beginning from this moment!
Later, Neiman meets Old Fu in a bar, and he is playing a light and gentle piece of music, "fletcher's song in club."
The two men reunite, look at each other and smile, they talk speculatively, and Neiman discovers that Old Fu was not so devilish in life.
In English, "good" is the most brainless word. ”
"Wouldn't he have worried about destroying the genius of Charlie Parker?"
"No, no, no, the real Charlie Parker will never be discouraged."
When they parted, The Elder sent an invitation to Neiman, inviting him to the biggest stage in New York to finish a show with him.
A breathtaking visual and auditory feast begins.
New York Concert Hall.
Before the performance, Old Fu suddenly said to Neiman: "Are you the ****? ”
Old Fur smiled cruelly at Neiman.
It's all a conspiracy of the old Man! What is to be played is upswing, not at all the piece that The Old Man told Neiman beforehand!
Old Fu looked back, and the black light hit his vicious face, and he was so cruel and cunning at the moment.
One song ends at the New York Concert Hall! On the biggest stage in the world! The despair in Neiman's eyes contrasted sharply with the smile on Old Fu's face.
Innerman broke down, threw down the drumsticks and left the stage. Offstage, he hugged his father tightly, tears sliding down his face.
In the midst of his father's embrace, his father's words suddenly made Neiman understand something.
In the darkness, a little light gradually burned, igniting everything around him, and the fierce flames devoured Neiman's soul, and he wanted to return to the stage! He wants to be the only king on the stage!
He left his father's arms, turned and walked resolutely toward Fletcher.
A drumbeat interrupted Old Fu's speech.
"Listen to me."
The soothing and powerful sound of the cello and the long low chant of the trombone, the drum beats like a storm invading people's hearts.
Don't be crazy, don't live!
Neiman's face showed hatred for Lao Fu, resistance to Lao Fu, and gratitude to Lao Fu.
The drum sounded like a pearl slipping from the silk thread, and Lao Fu stepped forward to help Neiman to help the cymbal that was being knocked off.
The souls of the two sublimated in the collision.
The camera constantly switches between the faces of Neiman and Lao Fu, and the two gradually reveal a smile, which is a smile that resonates.
At this moment, Old Fu finally found his "Charlie Parker".
Peng!
The drum beats abruptly and the film ends.
At the moment, you and I are the same kind of people!
Jazz and editing blend into one, the vicious lines of the old machine gun version, the dirty words are as dense and intense as Neiman's drum beats, and the highlights of several drumming scenes are fine and strange on camera, and the editing re-gives the overall scene a one-shot and accelerating rhythm.
In particular, in this last amazing performance, the director showed his extraordinary shooting skills - a clean and clean, no-drag shot conversion method, which made people watch it smoothly.
Didn't even give a shot to the audience!
What a cool word!
The six divine turns have made everyone who has seen it very addicted.
Such a good film, how can you not watch it.
