At that moment, the old Russian man stood in the corridor of the cinema. He was desperate, angry, and helpless.

What came to my ears was the sound of music that was almost synchronized in all the movie theaters.

It seems that the whole world is "Badaka".

There is no place for other movies.

In fact, in most of the regions where it premiered, "Badaka" entered the market with an almost domineering attitude.

After all, in markets outside of China, this is not a particularly important movie schedule. The Christmas schedule in European and American countries has passed, and in countries that celebrate New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar, the New Year's schedule has also passed.

In most markets, there are no big-budget movies that can withstand the offensive of "Badaka".

The rest are just some small fish and small productions.

This phenomenon of overcrowding and arranging films in cinemas such as CinemaRussia is not an isolated case.

This world is so cruel sometimes.

There are many who are the icing on the cake, and few who are the icing on the cake.

Some people already have a lot, but they still have to give it to him.

Some people have almost nothing, but they still want to take away what they have.

At this moment, there are many people who are crying like this old Russian man.

In the lobby of the cinema, music leaked through the soundproof walls.

Some gloomy, depressing, almost sad music echoed everywhere.

"Badaka" has already begun.

All film scores are about tone. The most important thing for a movie is to find the tone.

Usually, the opening music tells the audience what the content and tone of the movie you are about to watch are about.

Obviously, the tone of this "Badaka" is so gloomy, depressing, and sad.

It's like a man has sacrificed himself and is sinking into the deep ocean.

No, it's not just that.

After that gloomy, depressing tone, a strange tinkling sound joined in, like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the dark clouds.

Added a touch of bright color.

It felt like sacrificing oneself, but getting hope in return.

Just a short opening song already hinted at all the themes of this movie.

Sacrifice and hope.

When this old Russian man returned to the theater sobbing, he heard the brisk, "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound echoing in the theater, fast and joyful.

It's like someone is trotting briskly, with one foot eagerly chasing the other.

He opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the screen.

What kind of music is this?

In the melody, the tinkling sound is at the front, and at the back, another string instrument with a unique timbre lays out the colors under the tinkling melody.

Just listening to that music, I have an inexplicable feeling, like the wind blowing across my forehead and the ends of my hair.

On the movie screen at this time, the colors are bright, the sun is shining, and spring is just right.

Cruas Chen, played by Feng Yidong, lives on campus with other classmates.

He walked briskly between classrooms, surrounded by three roommates whose personalities were obviously a bit like the other three in 306. They were friendly yet sincere.

During the break between studies, he went on a date with his girlfriend under a big tree. Like a chirping bird, his girlfriend turned her back in front of him, stretched out her arms, walked a few steps backwards, and looked at him with a smile.

His eyes were like crescent moons, and then he turned around again.

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves of the big tree and shines on his face, bright and warm.

The bright colors of this section and the perfect combination with the soundtrack make people forget that it is cold winter and seem to have returned to the warm spring and summer.

Kruas Chen's Spring Day is the original color of this movie.

As for the Russian guy, his eyes widened as he stared at the movie screen. The bright colors and cheerful soundtrack were reflected in his tears. The contrast was particularly strange.

The world seems not to stop laughing because of your tragedy. In the face of this invisible power, human beings seem even more insignificant.

In the cinema next door, which is the largest cinema in the Cinema Russia cinema, there is a huge curtain in the front row, and Tokarvsky is sitting in the middle, frowning and watching the movie.

His head tilted slightly, as if he was carefully identifying what kind of music it was.

In the row behind him, Humato and Kotut from Indonesia also widened their eyes in confusion.

What kind of music is this? It sounds good! It’s very familiar! But it’s also a little strange...

The most distinctive music in Indonesia is probably Gamelan.

The original meaning of gamelan in Indonesian is "operating with hands" and "beating".

Most of the instruments used are bronze instruments, with the hanging, horizontally placed combined milk gong instrument as the core, plus the double-sided drum "Kentan", the xylophone "Gamban", the bowed string instrument "Lebabu", and the plucked string instrument

"Che Lian Peng", "Kachia Pi", bamboo flute "Su Ling", etc.

And its combination of gong instruments is particularly rich, mainly including large hanging gongs, medium hanging gongs, small hanging gongs, large cauldron gongs, small cauldron gongs, row gongs, wood pan pianos, metal pan pianos, resonator metal pan pianos...

…

It can be said that it is very unique and has a certain degree of popularity around the world.

Listening to a gamelan performance can be said to be a must-see when traveling in Indonesia.

As for Humato and Kotut, they grew up in this kind of music.

But at this moment, they felt that this music...

Like, but not, very strange.

Yes, it's gamelan, but it's not gamelan.

They don't know that gamelan music has a long history and comes from the cultural influence of ancient traditional civilizations such as India and China. However, it really took shape in a certain year when a young man named Zhong Jun came to heaven and earth.

The appearance came to the island of Java.

The metal gongs, harp harps, wooden harp harps and other musical instruments used in the gamelan are just imitating bells and drums, imitating the infinite power that can shake the heaven and the earth.

Six hundred years later, gamelan has already taken root in Java and developed its own unique characteristics.

And conversely, when the bell, drum, and piano it imitates imitates the gamelan, what kind of effect will it have?

This was the strange sound they heard.

Strange music.

It's like, but it's not.

It's so magical that it's fascinating.

And this music seems to be telling a truth clearly.

This is a movie about Indonesia.

But in this story, the Chinese are the protagonists.

A Chinese man wearing an Indonesian vest.

At this moment, Humato and Kotut, who were listening to this music, did not realize that this was actually an invasion.

Just like at the beginning, Gu Xiaobai broke through their defense line and captured the Indonesian market with an extremely tough attitude.

And now, this "Badaka" is another strong invasion by Gu Xiaobai.

Cultural invasion is actually a war without smoke.

Moreover, there can be no win-win situation in this war.

The entry and change of one party will always be accompanied by the demise and retreat of the other party.

At this moment, the whole world is immersed in the light and wonderful music world created by Gu Xiaobai, and their hearts are jumping for joy with this music.

Without realizing it at all, Gu Xiaobai once again invaded their market forcefully.

Who cares about this?

In fact, even Gu Xiaobai himself, who composed the music, did not notice this.

He just felt that since Cruas Chen in "Badaka" is such a Chinese character, it should be this kind of music.

Chinese musical instruments, Chinese scales, and Indonesian music.

A weak culture has no power to resist a strong culture.

Aren’t people all over the world singing American songs and imitating American music?

But now, it's just the second wolf coming.

(It’s late again today, so I’ll refresh it around 12:25.)
