- Su Wan was once a genius at the Conservatory of Music, but due to an old finger injury, he fell from the altar and became a substitute teacher at a piano store. Chen Ye is a delivery boy who bears his father's medical expenses. He has a rough voice but hides his unwillingness. Lin Xi is a convenience store clerk with severe social anxiety, and Zhou Xiaoyu is a troubled teenager on the verge of being dropped out of school.
Four "waste" people met in the basement of Neon Alley and used broken guitars, lyrics from takeout orders, and a leaky rehearsal room to piece together a band called "Neon".
They have to fight against poverty, prejudice, self-doubt, and more importantly, the reality that "dreams are worthless".
When the city noise on Chen Ye's mobile phone met Su Wan's broken guitar, when Lin Xi's bass no longer trembled, when Zhou Xiaoyu's drumbeat shattered despair——
They want to prove at the music festival that people born in the gutter dare to draw a knife towards the sun.
Intent: Use "blood" to fight reality, use "bonds" to heal loneliness, and let readers see their own shadows in the stories of the four people.
