导演阐述 Director’s Statement

我的老家宜宾是一个颇神奇的地方:青绿色的岷江和浑黄的金沙江在宜宾汇合为长江、据说被哪吒托梦后修建的哪吒宫殿则伫立于高高的山上。“水”和“桥”是那里的符号。2023年过年我回到宜宾的时候,从之前没有过的细致探索中发现了许多有意思的景象。在中国,水是划分南方和北方的重要元素。充满黄土并干燥的北方、比如我现在生活的北京,以及多雨、潮湿且忧郁的南方,这样千差万别的气候也影响着生活在两片土地上的人们。作为一个中国南方女孩,我总是习惯有水的地方,并被水深深影响。

作为女孩的我,用女孩的视角写女孩们的谈话、女孩之间的关系探讨。最后、我自己也饰演了黑发女孩的角色。

短片中不逊于影像制作的精力用于音乐制作,全片所有的音乐与声音设计都是原创的。在定下其中之一场景有火车经过后,我选择以萨克斯为主乐器做实验爵士音乐,并找到非常优秀的音乐制作人叶凡制作全片的声音设计与原创音乐。

My hometown, Yibin City, in Sichuan Province, China, is quite a magical place. The turquoise Minjiang River and the muddy Jinsha River converge in Yibin to form the Yangtze River. The Nezha Palace, which is said to have been built after Nezha’s dream, stands tall on a high mountain. “Water” and “bridge” are symbols there. When I returned to Yibin during the Chinese New Year in 2023, I discovered many interesting scenes through meticulous exploration that I had never experienced before.

As a girl, I wrote from a girl’s perspective, depicting conversations among girls and exploring relationships among girls. I also portrayed the role of the black-haired girl.

The same level of creativity put into the visuals was also put into the music production, with all the music and sound design being original. When I decided to use a location where a train passes by as one of the scenes, I chose to experiment with the jazz music composition using saxophone combined with the sounds of train whistles and rumbling noises. I found Danni Ye, who is an excellent domestic music producer, for the sound design and the original music production of the entire film.
