Synopsis
Seven years ago, I graduated from high school in the summer. Two acceptance letters from across the ocean were placed in front of them. The boy's vague love was lost to the distance from reality and excessive self-esteem. It disappeared without confession or farewell. Shen Jianyu wears a lawyer's robe and travels around transnational courts, using legal principles as armor; Cheng Yang holds a baton in his hand and stands on the stage of the concert hall, using music as armor. Seven years later, the city organized a large-scale transnational symphony arts festival. Involving a large number of foreign-related copyrights, foreign artist contracts, and cultural cooperation legal affairs, Shen Jianyu was hired as the exclusive legal advisor of the art festival; Cheng Yang is the core resident conductor of this art festival. In the art festival preparation conference room, the two met again after seven years. One believes in rules, evidence, and balance; the other believes in emotion, melody, and enthusiasm. Work forces them to communicate frequently: reviewing performance copyright contracts, negotiating terms for foreign artists, dealing with sudden legal disputes at art festivals, and late-night docking meetings after rehearsals. In the conference room, laws and artistic concepts collided fiercely; in the concert hall, when the orchestra sounded, the disguise of social identity was removed, and old memories surged. Conflicts are not the hardships of survival, but the conflicts between reason and sensibility, youth misunderstandings, career opportunities, and choices about foreign invitations. The truth of that year is revealed layer by layer: it's not that they didn't love each other, but that the two young people didn't have the courage to bet on an uncertain future. Shen Jianyu learns to think outside the box and allows himself to pursue a passionate love; Cheng Yang loses the sharpness of an artist and understands that long-term love is more than just passion. Two strong men who meet on high places put aside their pride and love each other as equals. Purpose: 1. About self-esteem and missing out: Love in boyhood may not be lost to lack of love, but to excessive self-esteem, fear of the future and the shackles of reality. Two proud people, afraid of being a drag on each other, chose to take the initiative to retreat, resulting in long-lasting regrets and analyzing the irreversible mistakes caused by timidity in adolescence. 2. Reconciliation between reason and sensibility: Legal principles that represent order and balance are not opposed to art that is loyal to instinct and emotion. Shen Jianyu learned to break away from the psychological armor constructed by laws and regulations and accept sensibility; Cheng Yang shed the sharp and passionate outer shell of an artist and understood the propriety of reality. A truly complete person is one in whom reason and passion can coexist. 3. The core of evenly matched love: Abandon the redemptive dependence relationship. Love is not about one party saving the other. Two adults standing at the top of the industry, each covered with scars, do not look down or look up. They take off the disguise of pride, expose their vulnerabilities equally, and support each other. They not only fulfill each other's career, but also repair the gaps in each other's hearts. 4. Reconcile yourself with the past: Looking back at the shortcomings of your youth, don't blame yourself too harshly. The cowardice and limitations of youth are real. The reunion is not to hold the past accountable, but to give the unfinished thoughts of the year a chance to make a new choice and to reach reconciliation with the once cowardly self. 5. The realistic background of adult love: It is difficult for adults to be desperate for their heartbeat, which is mixed with career choices, external opinions, and past grudges. In addition to passionate love, we must also take into account responsibilities, career and reality. Love is not only a momentary surge, but also requires running-in, concession and long-term persistence.
