The two drove back to the hotel where they stayed, and after a brief preparation, they were about to participate in the opening video session.Tonight, in addition to seeing the true appearance of the films presented by Xiren this year, the jury of the main competition unit and the mayor of Stuttgart will also make an appearance. At that time, the director, screenwriter and actors of the main creative team will also speak on stage.

After the opening speech, the host introduced another round of important guests, and then the premiere of the opening film officially began.

The whole place suddenly went dark.

The big screen in front lit up, and the soundtrack flowed like a clear and shallow stream, leisurely filling the entire hall.

Black screen, a line of white text appears.

I would like to take this film in memory of Ms. Li Ying.Her music and soul are present, past and future forever.

The title of the film slowly emerged, like a ripple, and disappeared in one go.

Spring returns.

There was a slight commotion in the audience, and the judges and many guests couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Li Ying, a famous violinist all over the world, her wide-bow legato playing method makes her performance full of symbolic vigorous vitality. The "Spring Sonata" performed at Carnegie Hall in the past was even more famous. The world regards it as an insurmountable swan song.

Unexpectedly, really unexpected, is this "Spring Return" a biographical film specially made in memory of Ms. Li Ying?

"How could it be her..." Yan Rongqiu couldn't help muttering to himself.

Mom's teacher.

She once placed great expectations on her mother, hoping that this girl could inherit her mantle and continue on the road of music.

But things backfired. In the end, my mother still failed to realize her dream, and even the teacher's expectations could not be met.

In this way, from a talented girl full of aura, she became the current Mrs. Yan.

"I don't want to watch it, I'm leaving."

Just as Yan Rongqiu was about to stand up, He Zhu gently pressed him back into the seat with his broad and warm palm.

"It is said that this film is based on the interviews and diaries of Ms. Li Ying during her lifetime, and it restores her most authentic experience."

"Maybe it will tell the story between her and your mother."

Yan Rongqiu retorted in a low voice, "What else can there be except disappointment."

Students who devote a lot of effort to teaching, students who hope to continue their musical life, in the end, they don't even want to pick up the bow anymore.All the efforts of the two of them so far have been in vain.

Even though the film may be softened to a certain extent, Ms. Li Ying's disappointment and unwillingness can never be concealed.

Yan Rongqiu lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

He didn't know how to deal with this disappointment.

He was scared.

Self-criticism and resentment emerged uncontrollably, surrounding him like an invisible ghost, holding him almost breathless.

My palms are hot.

It was He Zhu who groped to find his hand, and shook it lightly as if comforting.

Leaning closer, he whispered:

"do not be afraid."

"Believe me."

"Spring Return" is really well shot.

The director uses an extremely indifferent and simple lens language to tell the life of Ms. Li Ying, full of gentle humanistic care and extremely delicate emotional expression.

He Zhu was right, this movie really made Ms. Li Ying "live" again.

It is not only characters who are given "life".

And the soundtrack.

Most of the film's soundtrack is the repertoire that Ms. Li Ying played before her death, which sounds very her style and essence.Especially in the climax section where she won prizes in international competitions, when the bow fell, everyone was shocked——

The actor himself has no rhythm.

The original voice of Ms. Li Ying was not used by the crew.

So, who is the creator of this beautiful music that soothes the soul?

After thinking about it, there is only one person in the world.

However, she has long since given up on her music career.

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

On the screen, the girl who was still wearing a performance gown slowly knelt down on the ground, leaning on Ms. Li Ying's body, her shoulders shrugged, and she began to sob and cry.

At this time, Ms. Li Ying was already seriously ill and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around.Knowing that time is running out, her greatest wish is to see her beloved students step up to a higher and wider stage and show the world the unique charm of female violinists.

Life has an end, but music does not.

Flesh|experience perishes, but music does not.

A skinny but warm palm gently landed on the girl's heart.

"What's the matter? Tell the teacher something. Look at you, you are such an adult, how can you still look like a baby."

The teacher's gentle and kind comfort made the girl cry even harder.While crying, she kept apologizing, which almost made Li Ying cry dumbfounded.After finally stopping her sobs, she stammered out the whole story.

In reality, Wen Lingxin wanted to marry into the Yan family, and Yan Hesheng only hoped that his future daughter-in-law would decorate her appearance and take care of her husband and children with peace of mind, and she didn't want to have a big artist who couldn't get along, so in a simple sentence, she immediately won the Wen family The couple echoed kindly——

Music, after all, is just a hobby, but the Yan family is a wealthy family.For a daughter, there is absolutely no better destination than being the mistress of the Yan family.

A diamond wedding ring slipped on Wen Lingxin's finger, so hard and heavy that she could no longer pick up her piano bow.

Although in the film, the old news of these wealthy families has been blurred, the girl only said that her parents had other arrangements and did not want her to go on this path.But anyone who knows a little bit knows that that girl is the current Mrs. Yan, a genius violin girl who was once incomparably amazing.

Yan Rongqiu buried his head lower and lower.

dare not look.

Can not watch.

He couldn't imagine Ms. Li Ying's next reaction at all.

How disappointed the old man must be!

She will be angry, she will be angry, she will be extremely sad.

Yan Rongqiu trembled and closed his eyes, as if he could already see the scene that was about to appear.

"Keep your head up."

"Good boy, you don't need to apologize to me."

When Li Ying spoke, her voice was as gentle and loving as ever.

"But, I failed the teacher... I am sorry for the teacher... I clearly promised you... I..." The girl broke down in sobs, tears were all over her face.

"Son, do you feel happy when you learn the piano with the teacher?"

The girl nodded desperately.

"Teacher is the same." Li Ying wiped away the girl's tears with a clean white handkerchief.

"The time with you is also a precious gift to the teacher. Whenever I think of it, there will be a kind of warm happiness in my heart."

The girl was a little dazed, her eyelashes blinked, and the teardrops plopped down again.

"Teacher, don't comfort me. I clearly promised you to persevere...the result...the result...why did it become like this..."

"Please believe that this is the teacher's sincere words from the heart."

Li Ying sighed slightly, and told her students in a gentle and serious tone:

"We don't belong to ourselves alone. There is no truly independent existence in this world."

"Whether it's you or me, we all connect with others and share something, so we're never free."

"That's why we have joy, sorrow, and love."

"No matter how insignificant the encounter is, no matter how long or short the time we have been together with each other, even if it is not retained in memory, as long as it is a fate that has been established—"

She took the violin beside her long companion, stroked the smooth body, and handed it to the girl with great care.

"It will never go away."

"This is something more beautiful and precious than honor, than the stage, and even than dreams."

"Music will connect our hearts forever."

Not long after, on a warm spring day, Ms. Li Ying quietly passed away.

Return to her spring.

The film ends.

The lights in the hall came on, and after a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Yan Rongqiu did not applaud.

He sat motionless and looked at his fingers. After a long silence, he raised his head and took a deep breath. His eye sockets and eye tails were flushed, the tip of his nose and lips were also red, and his eyelashes trembled, as if he was hesitating to speak.

"Liar..."

"She should be disappointed and angry!"

"That's not true Ms. Li Ying, those words are all lies... They are all made up to deceive people!"

At this moment, the host slowly stepped onto the stage. He was supposed to introduce the main creative team, but he only said that a mysterious guest would appear soon. All the soundtracks and Ms. Li Ying's performance in the film were all written by her.

The lights converge, as bright as day.

There was an uproar downstairs.

Yan Rongqiu's back tensed all of a sudden.

……Mother?

There is no doubt that it is Wen Lingxin.

I saw that she was wearing a long black floor-length dress, the skirt was hanging down gracefully, every step she took was like a flower bud blooming naturally, smart and elegant.The skirt is dotted with countless diamonds, as if someone really cut out a bright galaxy full of stars for her.

But... how is it possible!

How is this possible!

After so many years, my mother has never and never wants to touch her bow again!

She has long since changed from a performer to one of countless ordinary fans.Even the videos of previous performances were all sealed up in thick dust!

"Impossible...this is fake!"

Some of the following guests couldn't help raising doubts.

"Ms. Wen has been out of the industry for many years, why do you still want to get involved with Ms. Li Ying's affairs now!"

"I do not believe."

"I don't believe it either, there must be someone else behind it!"

Even the judges couldn't help whispering.

"What the hell is Xi Ren trying to do with all this effort?"

"I don't know, I don't understand anyway."

"Xiren's approach this time is really strange. It's not for fame, not for box office, and it doesn't even matter about awards."

An older judge tapped on the table, thoughtful.

"However, this work was shot with such care, that it made me feel that it was almost born for some people, or even a certain person."

"Just to convey to that person some deep-seated words, and feelings."

Facing the surprise and doubts of everyone in the audience, Wen Lingxin remained calm and composed.Her eyes fell far away, and quietly stopped at a certain point in the guest seat.

"In the movie, the reconciliation between the girl and Ms. Li Ying did not happen in reality."

"In fact, I haven't seen the teacher since the moment I decided to give up."

"Because I have no courage."

"In these years, every day, I have been thinking over and over again, how sad and disappointed the teacher is. Teacher, you must hate me."

In the midst of such huge contradictions and pains, sleepiness, exhaustion and self-loathing are constantly superimposed, uncontrollably sweeping every inch of space in the brain, expanding without a single gap, to store the fleeting warmth——

"Mother."

The little meaty hand gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, and the boy raised his chubby face and said with a flattering and pleading air:

"I heard from my grandfather that my mother used to be a violinist, she is amazing! I also want to learn the violin, can you be my teacher?"

She froze for a moment, turned around and said calmly, "Wait until I'm free."

(If I could hold his hand then.)

"mom!"

The boy showed a fragile expression on the verge of weeping, and staggered into her arms.On the ground, lay a violin with broken strings.

She pushed him away in a panic, left him, and escaped from that suffocating and dirty vortex without looking back.

(If at that time, I could hug him tightly.)

In fact, I know that he is a very good boy.

Gentle and honest, hardworking and strong, no matter what you do, you can go all out and never give up.

(How different from me.)

However, such a good child, I do not have the courage and ability to love him.

Blindly hate yourself.

Hatred myself in vain.

I can never forgive myself.

Stubbornly unwilling to believe or admit that he is being sincerely and passionately loved by this clean and pure child.

(Am I really qualified for this?)

"Until last month, a gentleman came to me and brought me the personal letter left by the teacher back then."

"I am really grateful for his unremitting efforts. This letter that could not be sent has finally traveled thousands of miles and spanned many years, and came to my hands."

Wen Lingxin's eyes flickered, and there were faint tears, but her chin was lifted slightly, and a smile full of emotion broke out.

"The text in the letter is what the teacher told the girl in the video."

"It was left to me by the teacher, the last understanding and tenderness."

"After many years, I heard the teacher's voice again and felt her kind and tolerant heart."

"I'm finally... saved."

Wen Lingxin gently closed her eyes, as if there was a gentle spring breeze blowing by her ears——

Children, remember to cherish those invisible and invisible things between people.

In the days to come, please keep your head up|chest and walk on!

"Now, I want to dedicate this Beethoven Violin Sonata No. [-] in F major to my most beloved teacher, and..."

Wen Lingxin gripped the bow tightly.

("Anyway, please take this step toward him.")

(“I love him and would do anything for him.”)

("But this is the happiness that only you can give him.")

"Yan Rongqiu."

"My dearest child."
