Summer Knight 夏夜骑士

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Director 尤行 – Xing You

Music by 何美臻 – Min He

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Summer, 1996. In a small community in South West China, an 8 year old tries to capture the thief responsible for stealing his grandma’s bike and enters the moral quandary for the first time..


The nostalgic drama plays within a modest Chinese family. Tian-Tian’s mother is abroad in Japan to provide a living for her parents, brother, and son at home. Director You Xing presents a sensitive and quiet coming-of-age story. Unlike other movies of that genre, his approach suppresses the energy of its young protagonists. There is no explosive climax or rebellious uprising. The acting of the main characters seems calculated and almost stiff, which is somewhat contrary to the otherwise realistic style of the film.

“Summer Knight” includes three generations. Grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. By focusing on their interactions, we get to see the inner life of the family structure. A major aspect of the plot is the topic of expectations. Grandparents set high hopes for their offspring and try to intervene in their life. These ambitions are not always met from the children, which results in disappointment. At the same time, “Summer Knight” does not only tell a coming-of-age story but also a story about coming to terms with age. Grandpa Li has to deal with the fact that he is not as savage as he used to be. He is not out for trouble and is fighting with inner demons, sickness and addiction. That’s why the plot is provided with a complex field of themes and exceeds the sole representation of Tian-Tian’s daily life as a schooler.

The cast is a good mix of known actors and debutants. Ludi Lin, known from “Aquaman” (2018), gives a strong performance as an ex-army uncle of Tian-Tian. His character is rather mysterious with a dark backstory that the movie keeps secret. Huang Lu is a prominent Chinese actress, who made her debut in Li Yang’s “Blind Mountain” in 2007. Here, she has only a small role as the local teacher. Lingchen Ji is widely unknown but very promising as a slacker who gets helped by the old Mr. Li. The debutante actor who plays Tian-Tian is the main attraction of the cast. He carries the film and harmonizes with the rest of the cast.

OPERATION RED SEA (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 紅海行動 （電影原聲帶 ） Director Dante Lam   林超 贤 Original Music by Elliot Leung 梁皓 一   Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Operation Red Sea ( Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on Itunes   It is an incredible honor to compose the score of "Operation Red Sea." Throughout the process, I was able to work very closely with Director Dante Lam. Combined with his fresh perspectives and the state-of-the-art visuals, I was able to draw forth my best creative juices to enhance the cinematic experience. The beginning of my composing thought sequences always began with how the team of 8 special forces members worked together, putting their own egos aside to accomplish the same goal. While both action and plot were stunning, this film was more about the being intrinsically human and the fulfilment of one's calling to me. Easy to say, I wholeheartedly loved every minute of working with Director Lam. See you guys in the cinema...
