There are bottles hanging in the air, under the sunlight, the colorful, freshly washed white cloth is drying on the pole, under the wind blowing, it seems that the fairy tale is going on.
The growth of a genius is accompanied by "black and white", carrying psychological sins on the road of music, and he moves towards success step by step and towards the future.
When the movie was finished, it was around 1:30 in the morning, imagining that the ending had not come - the destruction of genius.
Instead, the genius is saved, and most dramatically, by himself. As the saying goes - God helps those who help themselves.
From a distant town, to working in a country band, then to the city, and finally embarking on his own path of music creation, from imitation to innovation, from freedom to freedom, this metamorphosis made him a little bit away from the world of others , At first no one understood him, not even his wife, he was completely alone.
In the depths of his heart, he has been submerged in water, because he bears a heavy life on his mind.
Under the weight of incomprehension and loneliness, he started to take drugs and took another female singer on the road of drug use, he became more and more wild, his talents more and more luxurious, but his The psyche became more and more empty, he slept with multiple women, he began to overdose on drugs, and he became more and more depraved.
Until one day, when his wife said those words to him with the trophy, he began to make up his mind to save himself, not to run away, not to make excuses.
Through the control of willpower, he successfully detoxified, and out of the shadow of childhood, he transformed into another self. From caring about money to caring about the transformation of society and others, he is no longer making music just for money, but begins to use his actions to repay the society.
Because after that fall, he transformed into another brand new self, made him realize the importance of life, and reminded him again what his mother told him: to live with two feet on the ground.
Thus, he rose to another new Zengshi, and when he reappeared, his face was no longer with the arrogance of his youth, replaced by his calmness and smile, and by his side stood the woman he loved the most— his wife.
Geniuses, like ordinary people, will experience hell-like torment, so as to ascend to heaven and complete a perfect transformation.
