It's a folk song, it's life

Of course, the music is very nice. It was originally worth 5 stars in all aspects, but I deducted 1 star because the director wanted to make people sympathize with him, made his life miserable, and encountered so many bad things in a few days.
This is a value that I don't think is correct. Of course, there may be no such thing at all, and many people don't see it.
The main plot is a story of underappreciated talent. When I was younger, I would definitely feel injustice for the protagonist, because we all regarded ourselves as the protagonist. It is not my fault that I failed so much. I am talented, and God deliberately made things difficult for me. But later I found that failure is often my own fault, and underappreciated talent is an excuse. Of course, there must be such people, but most people do not belong to underappreciated talent, they only belong to complaints. The protagonist's life is so bad because he doesn't handle it well. Even if music can't make money, he can rely on other things to support his life. It's not so miserable, and the difference is that people who really devote themselves to art will not be because of ambition. Injustice and swearing like he did, etc., they accepted it, ready to sacrifice.
