"Hello, I’m Paul McCartney and I’m the bassist." "I’m George Harrison and I’m the solo guitarist." "I’m Ringo Starr and I’m the drummer." "I am It’s John Lennon, and I’m a better guitarist."

In 1962, the Beatles "Four Wonders" were tied together by fate. At the age of nineteen, drinking together, laughing together, sharing music and love together, Ringo argued about his popularity, George judged the quality of the lyrics, Paul talked about John, and John talked about Paul. The days are always fresh and interesting...

However, time is flowing, they can't always be a clean and well-behaved little boy who sings "She Loves You" with a broom head. The repeated madness of the tour, the cross-border test of the radio and television, the creation of breathing space, the fanatical fans, the crazy world, the bigger and bigger stage and the more and more inaudible stage, the troubles, drugs, confusion, success that accompany success, A sense of insecurity... The Beatles’ “Fantastic Four” grew up in the empathy after they became popular, and matured after their feet in their lives landed on the ground.

The film "Eight Days in a Week" focuses on the story of the Beatles' tour from 1963 to 1966. This is undoubtedly the time when the career and life of the Beatles are most closely connected, and it is also the looted youth of the Beatles.

Following the narration of those precious photos and the narratives of those who have spent thousands of sails, the film takes the audience to review the transformation process of the Beatles and the moments of achievement and pain between the idols and fans. The film also connects the whole story of the Beatles as a musical phenomenon. Let the changes in the social structure and the will of human existence behind the Beatles culture be revealed.

The film ended at the Beatles’ public performance on the roof of Apple Records at 3 Savile Street, London, on January 30, 1969. This is the best ending, and it is also the eternal fixation in the hearts of music fans who love the Beatles. It ends here. It won't really end.
