《 钢铁之夏 | Summer of Steel 》2007年缘起于内蒙磴口，经途大同，后转战太原落地，十年六届，参与艺术家上百人，创作作品上百件，一部分已经落地城市雕塑。大批工业时代废弃的机器和残件在来自全世界优秀美术院校雕塑艺术家们的创作下被赋予了第二次生命，工业城市也随之迎来一次艺术革命。
坏孩子影像团队于2014年开始跟踪拍摄活动全程，大量素材反复磨砺斟酌，来之不易。
时代，钢铁，夏日，烈焰，汗水，情感，创作，怀念，刚柔并济，如获新生。

酸甜苦辣在胸，人生永远在寻找安放“心”的旅途。— 吕品昌

影片以“先辈之光，未来之路”为主题，用创办人丁井文校长的“隐性视角”为时 间主轴线贯穿全片，70 年附中时光画卷在一代代附中人的讲述中徐徐展开。回到过去就是回到未来，回望附中筚路蓝缕的办学成长历程，我们没有办法绕开 那些熠熠的先辈之光，附中经历了从校尉胡同到隆福寺到花家地再到燕郊的辗转办学，一代一代的附中人付出了难以想象的努力和艰辛，如何在现实感受与历史回朔中再次找回和汇聚那些存留在穹宇浩瀚中的附中精神，是此次影片创作的核心目的。时代在变，世界在变，美学在变，教育理念在变，科技在变，环境在变，附中人也在变，但在先辈期盼的目光中，在我们内心里，那个更古不变让我们继续前行的信念究竟是什么，流水不腐，户枢不蠹。我们需要从美院附中70年来从初创、发展、思变、未来，四个阶段，从一代代附中人的讲述中找到答案。

央美附中 建校70周年｜ 《先辈之光，未来之路》

山西省吕梁地区，典型的黄土高原地貌，四面环山，一百多户的山村，不算特殊贫困，但当地的信仰、风气却十分独特，有治愈邪病的神管，有跟侄儿媳妇通奸的单身道士，有对邪术更着迷的医生，霓虹灯下的庙宇寺院，人满为患的赌场，遍地的邪教组织，也有一手遮天的黑势力村官和政府，鱼龙混杂，各显神通。
十年前曾是黑帮头目的主人公，威风一时，当昔日风光不再，而他却又偶然获得了预测生死的超能力，梦里神婆点化，说有真武大帝、文殊菩萨，太白金星等大神佑护，通达三界。
逐渐，他以另外一种身份出现在了人们的面前，传说中的黑煞神人。
接连的预测和死亡让村里最有威望的老太爷一家也开始深信不疑，云里雾里，牛鬼蛇神，掌管生死，周边男女老少也都开始对他毕恭毕敬，阴阳雾罩。
煤矿生猛的开发带来了新的生机，物极必反，暂时的快感，同时带来了毁灭性灾难性的建设，螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后，然而人们意识或者意识不到危机的同时新的方式不觉中已经开始，无论怎样的勾心斗角彷徨挣扎都无济于事，现实荒诞。
然而，他不觉中被政府利用，而他的疯魔也逐渐把自己卷入了因果轮回的死圈。

Synopsis:
The Luliang region of Shanxi Province is typical of the yellow, loess, mountainous landscape of north China. The hilltop village in the film is not especially poor, nor is it particularly unique. But when it comes to its beliefs and traditions, it is clear that this is no ordinary village. Here we find mediums who can talk to the gods, a Taoist priest who is in an adulterous relationship with his nephew’s wife and doctors more interested in witchcraft than medicine. Under the neon lights of the village temple lurk all sorts of characters: people playing in crowded gambling houses, members of deviant religious cults and almighty local government officials – a mixture of good and evil, in which each and every one is showing the rest what they are worth. 
Ten years ago, Naixiao was leader of a local mafia gang. Powerful for a time, the winds of change altered his life and he was endowed with the superhuman power of foreseeing when people would die. In a dream, a sorceress revealed to him that he was blessed by a Taoist deity, the Bodhisattva Manjushri and the Deity of the Great White Planet and that he had been given access to the three supernatural realms.   
    Naixiao’s new supernatural identity gradually becomes known to the people around him and with his successive predictions of who is going to die next, even the highly respected village elder and his family become convinced of his powers. People all around him begin to respect him as a gifted clairvoyant and seek him out on advice on all matters relating to life and death and the realms of the supernatural.
Meanwhile, the recent development of coalmines in the locality is supposed to bring new opportunities to the communities of the region. But the initial enthusiasm is quickly dampened by rampant construction and development and the potential plagues that they will inevitably bring. Whether the locals are aware of an impending crisis or not, it is clear that a new approach is needed. Squabbling and scheming will lead to nothing as the realities of the community begin to border on the absurd. In this whole process, Naixiao finds he is being used by the local authorities and his obsessions gradually catapult him into the never ending cycle of karmic retribution.
