"Xiaoyao You" is led by Shanghai Film Group and is the first young director's work to be included in the "Shanghai Film Newcomer New Work Plan". The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by young writer Ban Yu, with Liang Ming serving as the screenwriter and director, and starring Lv Xingchen, Li Xueqin, Zhao Bingrui, and others. The film tells the story of Xu Lingling, a lively girl from Northeast China who suddenly suffers from misfortune. Her fearless father returns and reunites with her old classmate Zhao Dongyang, accompanied by her best friend Tan Na. Love, friendship, and family make everything seem "likable". "In the trials and tribulations of life, the moment she stood up unsteadily was particularly touching." Liang Ming hopes that through this film, the audience can accompany this ordinary girl through a journey in life, experiencing the beauty of life. In the cruel vortex of life, how to vigorously ignite that small flame towards life. Liang Ming has been nominated for various awards, including the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, and Pingyao International Film Festival, for his debut work "Under the Sun". The film continues his delicate and moving style, depicting the true cowardice and longing deep within the protagonist's heart.
