Movie Boom

On the day when the demolition notice was posted on the old theater, Zhu Shouye, the fifth generation descendant of Zhu's shadow puppetry, was still guarding the empty stage and singing old tunes. Thousands of years of cowhide puppetry have been passed down to this generation, with only broken beams and lamps, a few spectators, and a dead rule of "passing it on to the inside but not to the outside world. If you change it, you will be cheating the ancestors." The 24-year-old grandson Zhu Nongying, the sixth generation descendant of Zhu's shadow puppetry, has been holding the carving knife for 12 years and refuses to let his ancestral craftsmanship be buried in the rubble. She contradicted her elders, broke the rules, and joined forces with trendy toy entrepreneur Lu Hanwen—— We need to let the old shadow puppets come out of the dusty theater and break into the world of young people. The leather is carved using ancient methods, soaked in oil to prevent moth, and reproduces the secret techniques passed down by the Qing Dynasty; One-hand fashion blind box, light and shadow flash show, live broadcast authenticity, and use the market to hold the stage. Some people scolded her for ruining tradition, some copied her ideas to seize the market, and some used capital to force her to cash in on fast food. There are also ancestral grudges and half a shadow puppet fragment, hiding the unbroken love of the troupe across generations. From when the theater building is about to collapse, to when the lamp shadow breaks the circle; From small streets and alleys to stage, to overseas cultural and creative exhibitions; From the confrontation between ancestors and grandchildren, to two generations of craftsmen working side by side to pass on the fire. She uses the carving knife as a pen and light and shadow as a play, Keep the roots of ancient methods and create new trends. Old craftsmanship has no bitterness, and intangible cultural heritage has no end. This shadow, this lamp, this knife, this play, In the end, the fire will be passed down from generation to generation, and the tide will never stop.
