Hello everyone, I am Liao Yiyuan, the director of “Fish Lantern”.
I am an advertising director, and also the father of a four-year-old child. In this cooperation with mhy, in addition to my professionalism and hard work at the director level, it is more about bringing myself as a father and the emotions with my father. Among them, it is very necessary for a micro-movie that drives the narrative with emotion.
This is a story about reconciliation between father and son. A son returned to his hometown to repair a fish lamp with his father, and at the same time restored the relationship between father and son. The core is still a theme that I have always cared about, “the growth of a teenager, the tension with the ever-changing world.”
The story actually tells the three stages of the growth of a child born in the 90s; in the first stage, we saw a fairy tale-like fable; a lamp, two fathers and sons, and the moonlight shining on the bluestone board. This is the picture that first came to my mind. This is the best time for all father-son relationships in the world! So the father hoped to make a lantern for the child every year, and let the child participate in the Fish Lantern Festival every year. This is the father’s sustenance to the roots of his hometown. But the son is getting bigger and bigger, just like the mother said, “I can’t keep the child when he grows up, so what kind of lamp must he make?”, but in fact, the father has his deepest blessings and wishes for the child. A misunderstanding caused the fish lantern to be destroyed, and the child left. After several years of leaving, a deep rift was left between father and son. The burned fish lantern became a nightmare and remained in the son’s heart forever. The story begins here, from the time when the son returns to his hometown where he has been away for many years, and the fog of the past is uncovered layer by layer. The relationship goes from misunderstanding to understanding to finally reconciliation.
This story that echoes from beginning to end also has my inner insight into the world. The child is no longer the innocent child of the past, because his world is getting bigger and bigger, the village is getting less and less closed, and there are fewer and fewer young people staying in the village. . When the child finishes making a wish on the bridge, he tells his father: Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a fish lantern, the boss’ fish lantern, and the father chases after his son. Oh, I can’t express my wish, and it won’t work if I say it. Here is my deep sense of powerlessness in this story. It sounds like a fairy tale, but it is actually a bit sad. The so-called “wandering thousands of miles, the lamp burning home” means that no matter how far we go, don’t forget the place where we started, don’t forget the hometown, parents, don’t forget to go home and reunite!
