In the theater, Yang Kai in the audience felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the scene of kneeling under the tree.

At this moment, he seemed to understand the tree's heart.

Yes, Shu is a little "stupid" and cowardly, but at the same time he has a strong self-esteem.

It's not that he doesn't know that everyone looks down on him, but his dignity prevents him from kneeling in front of everyone at the wedding.

If you have to kneel, choose a place with few people...

But no matter how few people there were, this kneeling made the tree completely lose its dignity.

The moment he knelt down, the last line of defense in his heart was broken by Erzhu's white leather shoes.

In the room, the drunk Shu held Yi Xin's hand tightly and said something.

"Life is meaningless."

The scene changes, and in a vast expanse of white snow, people are teasing the bride.

Shu also joined in, and during the excitement, he asked a question.

"Where's Chen Yixin?"

Someone replied to him: "Left early!"

Shu stood there in a daze, and raised his hands helplessly, as if he wanted to grab something - he was still hoping to find a job in Chen Yixin's school.

This time, Shu was different from usual and became very proactive.

He took a bus to the city and found Chen Yixin's school, who readily arranged a cleaning job for him.

During work, when Shu has nothing to do, he likes to draw on the blackboard.

One night, the door of the classroom suddenly opened.

An old man with gray hair and a dignified face pushed the door open and looked at him sternly with a frown.

"dad..."

Below the stage, Yang Kai’s brows were also furrowed when he saw this, and he felt a little weird in his heart.

This old man is Shu's deceased father.

Apparently, this scene is an illusion of the tree? After all, it was explained earlier in the plot that he often dreams of his father.

Yang Kai felt that he understood it, but that strange feeling still lingered in his heart.

Continuing to read on, Shu launched a love offensive against Xiaomei and wrote a love letter to her via text messages.

【Recipient: Xiaomei

do you know?

The moment we look at each other is the most beautiful moment in the world.

I wouldn't accept the position of village chief even if you offered me that position!

Lovesickness is like cigarettes and wine.

You are like the cigarettes and alcohol,

It makes me smoke and drink all the time! 】

This time, Xiaomei took the initiative to reply to the letter.

【Quit smoking and drinking, and be friends again】

Xiaomei, who was extremely reluctant when they met for the first time, became proactive and enthusiastic and agreed to go on a date with Shu.

The relationship between the two heated up rapidly and they soon started talking about marriage.

Shu wanted his younger brother to lend him his boss's "Crown" car as a wedding car, but on the day before the wedding, his younger brother only drove a Passat.

Shu, under the influence of alcohol, started to complain.

"What's the point of having your brother do that to him?"

"You can't do anything, it's embarrassing and ruining my fun!"

The two brothers fought each other, and during the fight, the brazier ignited the ceremony tent, and the fire burned it all...

In a trance, Shu seemed to see his father again.

He also saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law coming to his wedding. His eldest brother brought his sister-in-law from the county art troupe to dance for him.

Later, the dazed Shu was forced by everyone to hold a wedding.

And at the wedding, he saw his father again.

At night, on the wedding night, Shu lay on the bed in a daze, motionless, and his new wife Xiaomei took the initiative to sit astride his body.

However, even at this time, Shu saw in a trance the scene of his father strangling his eldest brother.

His father is his nightmare, and he cannot escape his father's shadow no matter what...

This scene is the only "passionate scene" in the whole play.

But for the audience present, they did not feel the slightest bit of "charm" from this scene. They only felt pity, sadness and lament for the character of "Tree".

At the same time, the strange feeling in Yang Kai's heart became stronger and stronger.

In this plot, he felt that he had grasped something, but was always just a little bit short, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Then, a mining accident occurred in the plot, and Shu's friend Xiaozhuang was one of the victims.

Later, in the village, Shu suddenly mastered the ability of "fortune-telling".

He predicted that the village would have no water on the 21st, and everyone thought he was a fool. But on the 21st, the village really had no water.

At home, his newlywed wife Xiaomei couldn't stand his weirdoness and went back to her parents' home. Every household in the village moved into the "Sun City". His mother also left with his third brother, and no one cared whether Shu stayed or went.

After the "water outage incident", Shu Yisuan became famous. Erzhu asked him to help ward off evil spirits, and the mining company also asked him to cut the ribbon for its opening...

Here, the whole movie comes to an end.

In the later scenes, people all over the world rushed to the "New City of the Sun", only the tree was touching the willow tree where the big brother was hanged.

This tree is his spiritual sustenance...

At the end of the story, Xiaomei came back, not only was she pregnant with Shu's child, but she also spoke.

Walking on the snow, Shu's twisted hands kept grabbing something, and Xiaomei's hands reached out from behind, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

What the tree wanted to grab was Xiaomei's hand.

The new house he promised Xiaomei was right in front of the "Sun City".

At this point, the movie officially ends.

A sentence appeared on the black screen.

【Tree, his name.】

Then, the list of the main creative staff of the crew was scrolled from bottom to top.

Director: Ye Zhiqiu

Starring: Wang Qiang, Li Wenwen...

Inside the theater, the lights came back on.

Unlike other movie premieres, the atmosphere at this scene was silent.

It was not until Ye Zhiqiu and the main creative team came out again that sparse applause broke out at the scene, and then gradually grew louder.

For many viewers, this movie is confusing.

Especially the plot in the second half of the film gives people a sense of "disconnection".

It is obviously a very realistic subject, but how come the tree can suddenly tell fortunes and always be accurate?

Xiaomei's pregnancy and even her speaking seemed unreal.

Among the crowd, Yang Kai felt that he roughly understood it.

To be honest, after watching this movie, the only feeling he had was "depressed".

The movie was shot so realistically, so realistically that he even felt that some of the experiences of the protagonist "Shu" were similar to his own.

He is from Northeast China, and the story is also set in Northeast China, so he has personally experienced many of the characters in the plot.

For example, Erzhu. There is a dialect in the Northeast dialect called "Tunhuzi", which refers to people like Erzhu. No one in the village can afford to offend him.

In that era, when facing such a bully, he would bully you if he wanted to, and you had to endure it.

Shu's misery was caused by many factors, including Erzhu and the psychological trauma left by his father beating his eldest brother to death.

Also, his own reasons.

Inside the venue, the few audience members who felt they understood the movie had mixed feelings.

However, many reporters and film critics were extremely excited.

Due to their professional sensitivity, they generally have a higher ability to appreciate and understand film and television works than ordinary audiences, so they can feel the awesomeness of this work even more.

Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Qiang are really good at making art films!
